Sorry for any confusion, we haven't invoiced yet... It will happen this week. Since it's going to be under $10 shipped (US) I figured there is no reason to have this long drawn out pay-period.  If anyone can't afford to pay this week just PM me and we'll work it out -- no worries!  On top of that, I'm sure we will have a few extra.  If you're not sure if you filled out the form just do it again and  leave a note of how many you actually want.

I'm looking forward to this :) Switching to Zeal stabilizers will satisfy my OCD.

I'll be culling through the form entries in the next day or so and will email everyone directly to confirm order since we had a few bits on the survey that were "what if" sorts of questions. One of us will invoice you after that- I'd say all invoices will be out by Friday. Then brother onmybike will be able to have the machine shop cut these babies and make sure everyone gets what they wanted.

LAST CALL FOR DIFFUSERS!! Folks in wave two shipping, don't be shy- better to order one now than wish you had done so later. Form will close at midnight (PST) 4/12 and we'll call orders final then.

That's correct.  :thumb:

Yea, I just ordered a set from Zeal. I kinda wish I had thought of that when I ordered my Zealio's earlier to save on that shipping...

Diffuser Update:
Hey dudes, Steve  ;) ... Thanks again for handling this brother.  So I've had a very hectic start to my week... It's like every second is accounted for.  Something came up Monday and I couldn't make it to the shop.  I'm trying to get there by the end of week but in all honesty it might not happen until Monday the 17th as artist that's cutting them isn't there on the weekends.  Good news is that they'll be cut as I wait so as soon as I have them in hand I should be able to pack em up and send em out within a day or two.  So my apologies!  I'll keep everyone posted...

Wait, do you mean the Viper/Eagle or the LS? Knowing his schedule (the current viper/eagle v2 was announced about 7-8 months ago, on 2016.09.26) and the fact that we're slow in shipping the second part, I really do doubt the next Viper/Eagle would come in that short amount of time. LS V3 would ship approx Q4 2017 and we would still be on schedule I guess.

I apologize if the delay is inconveniencing for you. Sadly, these delays in production is out of my control.

Nah, I'm good as I've already gotten my vipers off market. When this gb started I wasn't even in the mk community yet lol. I was merely replying to the comments above about the V3 of viper/eagle.

Yes, this is a good point! Form is still open now, though I will be closing it soon so onmybike can go forth with the cutting. Since the diffuser template is available, I suppose if you wait now and end up needing one later, you'd just pay more for a one-off through Big Blue Saw, etc...

I would say that anyone in shipping wave two who is planning to use Zeal stabs should pick up a new/ compatible front diffuser. (Remember the new diffuser is only for the front and is a frosted acrylic- a drop-in replacement for the one provided by Duck that accommodates the Zeal stabs.)

Thanks again for doing this guys.

Out of curiosity, has anyone completed a build with the new compatible diffuser? Was a prototype diffuser cut for testing purposes ?

No worries. Onmybikedrunk is doing all the heavy lifting - I just volunteered for some logistics support.

And on the test build- no, not that I know of. He's just received the material and will be having it cut soon. Should be all good since he just added a bit more clearance for the bottom row Zeal stabs that were bumping the Duck diffuser, but I'm sure he'll test once he has them in hand before shipping.

It seems that only the 1st batch receive their keyboards and have chances to try...

Yes, this is a good point! Form is still open now, though I will be closing it soon so onmybike can go forth with the cutting. Since the diffuser template is available, I suppose if you wait now and end up needing one later, you'd just pay more for a one-off through Big Blue Saw, etc...

I would say that anyone in shipping wave two who is planning to use Zeal stabs should pick up a new/ compatible front diffuser. (Remember the new diffuser is only for the front and is a frosted acrylic- a drop-in replacement for the one provided by Duck that accommodates the Zeal stabs.)
Thanks again for doing this guys.

Out of curiosity, has anyone completed a build with the new compatible diffuser? Was a prototype diffuser cut for testing purposes ?

No worries. Onmybikedrunk is doing all the heavy lifting - I just volunteered for some logistics support.

And on the test build- no, not that I know of. He's just received the material and will be having it cut soon. Should be all good since he just added a bit more clearance for the bottom row Zeal stabs that were bumping the Duck diffuser, but I'm sure he'll test once he has them in hand before shipping.

In for 2 if it's not too late?   :blank:

Still haven't received the invoices yet, so you should still on time.

On another note, I've just gotten around to install holtites on my board. It works perfectly such that I didn't even need to force the holtites in using a solder gun.

And you still need to solder LED or Sip socket right? :(

No wobble at all on a few switches I tested. There's holtites for LED's too, and they work great too! I might pop in SIP sockets for the information LED's (the LED strip at the top) though. but holtites work too.

No worries - Here's the holtites you need for both the switches and the LED's. Shop around to see where you can get them the cheapest as that varies from quantity to your location.

8134-HC-5P2 - LED - (example buying link that I got mine from) http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/TE-Connectivity/8134-HC-5P2/?qs=2mZjssE3HVW2oxs%252bzdwmWw%3D%3D
8134-HC-8P2 - Switches - http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/TE-Connectivity-AMP/8134-HC-8P2/?qs=2mZjssE3HVXK3Y0NGiZ2AQ%3D%3D

Note that there's also the silver colored version for both of them that is identical. Only difference is the anodization and the price.  :)

Hopefully this helps you!

You're welcome :). Note that some of the side sockets might not fit the holtites due to multiple holes being in close proximity.

Edit: only 1 hole on the right backspace/delete has this problem, everything else should holtite fine.

Just wondering, to use zeal stabs the only problem right now is the diffusers, right? No other issues such as the screws causing stuff to short out, right? Thanks!

I think there still might be a chance to short a key but should be pretty easy to alleviate by seeing where the screws hit any pads and masking those off with some tape or a nylon washer maybe.

Okie, sounds good! Time to break out the dental bands when the stabs come :D.
