[IC] M65 aka RAMABAE65 - Made with RAMA

If I rather wait for round 2 of buy, should I still enter in the raffle?

No I think that's rather selfish, if you win the raffle, that means there's someone who really would like to get the first round would've missed out

Perhaps afrokobe was asking about how to enter Round 2. To answer that, I assume you can just opt in when Round 2 comes around. The raffle is just for Round 1.

If they didn't mean that, then I agree with you hah.

I probably misintepreted that then. AFAIK, the form is only for Round 1

Yea sorry didn't probably state that well.  I don't have the funds for round 1 right now, but would like to enter for round 2.  I just was not sure if to be considered for round 2, if you had to have entered in the first round.  Kind of like a sale for people who didn't make it in the first round.

Round 2 was said to be unlimited, so you should be able to get in no question.  The one difference being the colors won't be same same in R2.  JChan said "2 most popular from R1" plus a few others (maybe green.. maroon, etc).  so if there's something you're dying to get now like campaign or rose or hydro, I'd probably enter now.

Jumped on this for my first geekhack gb! Here's hoping I get in. Now I just gotta get some Zealios to pair with it, along with the upcoming DSA Light Cycle set... oh yes.

Yeah, I'm hoping that Space Grey is at least one of those 2 most popular colors, so even if I pull the short straw on R1, it'll still be an option in R2. Good luck to all.

Entered! Good luck everyone. Congratulations jchan and RAMA

[eldridge]

Great work RAMAxJchan!

[Rumblehotep]

I don't have to choose between the nylon and the rose gold base, I can get both???

Thanks jchan and RAMA!!

[LadyGrey_MN]

I'm entered as well, good luck everyone!
Haven't heard if the rgb is configurable, hope it is.

Hope I filled it out right. The PayPal address is the literal address or did he also want to include the email?

Looks like I'm waiting for round 2.

[fancymans]

Yes you can get both. Choose Nylon as primary, and then later there is an option to add an additional aluminum bottom plate.

[DreLLin]

Oh god this looks so awesome. Hope to make it in, good look everyone. 

[KHAANNN]

I was going to ask about the programmability aspect, but found out about it on the original post, good to see the winkeyless.kr firmware is used - I've tried to modify it around a year ago, it was almost impossible, yet, basic layout are easy to do with their GUI, and when you add a https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=69169 USB-USB converter, it makes a nice base for the TMK Firmware, no compatibility issues with the Sprit PCB I've used

The keyboard is just incredible, I'm not a big fan of 65%'s with crammed arrows, yet I still really want one, the design/heft/quality would be enough to make me forget my layout obsessions

I wonder whether Paypal is the only payment option, not sure whether I can afford to spoil myself, but If I end up entering the raffle, I wonder if there is a CC Processor or Amazon Payments option available, Thanks (Can't use Paypal, they disabled accounts from my country, sadly)

[kawasaki161]

Just wondering, will the brass plate still be available in R2? If yes, then I'll wait for R2 because of the QMK PCB... I really want that brass, but I'd also rather wait for the R2 PCB.

i don't suggest you to redo the form because in the raffle system group buy you might disqualify if you got the tickets more than one.

I believe you can correct it after the winners list announced(and you won).

the best way is send a PM to jchan directly, but I think you can wait until the winners list announced.

Yes don't wanna get disqualified.. Thanks. hopefully it wont be a problem

There's no practical downside to tarnished brass.  It will simply have the dull more green and spotty appearance as opposed to the shiny uniform gold appearance.  It won't do any damage to your switches.  But if you care about having the plate looking pristine and shiny like new over time, then anodized aluminum should be your choice.

I wonder how people deal with it for korean customs. I know kin offers brass plates for his boards.

You can clean it fairly easily. Alternatively, you can cover it with tape so it doesn't oxidize. If I get in on this round with the brass plate I'll probably be cutting some sort of 3M film to protect the exposed sides of the plate.

The weight sounds like it will be protected though.

Everyone make sure that rose gold makes it into R2 just in case

I think all the less common colors will likely be in round 1.  Seeing as R2 will only include 2 of the most ordered colors + some new colors, anything that doesn't get as much support will be in R1.  So if champagne or rose gold are not as popular, they will be in R1.  That's my guess, because it just makes sense in terms of the logistical perspective.

Yeah, I figured. That's why I'm cheering on people to make rose gold popular 

[mattijs]

Entered my first ever geekhack GB, woohoo! Hope I make it in the round.

[Brammm87]

Man, paying for the shipping on this thing is gonna hurt, but I love it so much. Already setting money aside for the custom taxes too.

Here's hoping I get to spending that money.

[testplsignore]

For those who haven't heard, looks like the 200 cap is no more!

And yesterday the M67-A went public... I'm gonna be able to get my hands on both these boards after all! so stoked. Thank you Jchan and Rama!

[Arallu]

First come first server - people complain.
Raffle - people complain.

There's going to be a round 2 people. Chill out a bit.

If you don't get to win the limited Hydro colorway that is a shame, yes, but no one ever said buying the keyset gives you dibs in this GB 

Am chill, but thanks for the positivity /s
Seems it doesn't matter now though.

Is the sandwich case still being offered as an additional option?

IIRC it will be sold separately from this buy in keyclack.com at some point.

[testplsignore]

If all goes to plan, these should be shipping out in April, right?

Or have I got my numbers wrong :S

[jchan94]

That sounds roughly correct. 10-12 Weeks is the plan. With allowing more than 200, we might see a slight hiccup, but I will tell everyone of the process. The supply chain is very good with the manufacturers 

Please also go to the GB thread. I've minimized the top post to direct people there

Jchan if I wanted to make any changes to my form should I pm you now or later? Thinking about adding the acrylic bottom and brass/steel plate instead of aluminum since I'm worried about the "give" the board will have with aluminum after seeing a video of someone demoing it.

I wish I could picture a hydro blue top and hydro aluminum bottom.  The google form recommended contrasting colors, but does the same top and bottom color look bad?

It probably doesn't look bad but the lines with a contrasting color look 👌👌
