Duck Viper and Eagle Group Buy

[Xenderwind]

There's a link in the IC where all the layouts for viper and eagle. Tapatalk won't let me highlight the link to copy and paste.

I'll find out about the alps question.

When I find out the weight of these, I'll start invoicing.

The red colour is the same as the duck minis. I'll get a pic when I can.

There was a user who managed to get 4 of them from the korean gb.  He/she said it weighs about 2 kg but that was probably just the board and not whole box.

Do you know if a acrylic bottom/middle plate is possible just like with the Orion? If so, do you have the dimensions?




Also a general question regarding the Viper/HHKB layout, where on earth do we find 1.75 unit bottom row caps?

I'm pretty sure those are 1.5x caps.

I'm pretty sure those are 1.5x caps.

Viper bottom row looks like: 1x - 1.5x - 7x - 1.5x - 1x to me.

[CPTBadAss]

From here.

That's definitely the layout tjweir. But perhaps Rewind was referring to the short right shift layout?

Tsangan kits.

If anyone CONUS wants to be paid to assemble an eagle with full led, oiled springs and lubed stems, let me know, so that I can order one :]

Yeah sorry, I meant bottom row profile (B/1/4) 1.75 shift key.

[geniekid]

Will there eventually be a PCB only option like there was for the Lightsaver?

Or is anyone CONUS that only wants the case and plate?

Light Pad? No?

Been casually following the other thread, really like the looks of the Eagle and Light Pad together.

Some quick questions:

Can I have the eagle but with a normal, full length R_SHIFT? aka poker 2 layout

Also, this means that switches aren't included and I have to get my own switches right?

Thanks

[CPTBadAss]

The OP has a more info tab which links you to Duck0113's page. He has pictures of what layouts are possible

First picture shows the layout you're looking for.

Also, this means that switches aren't included and I have to get my own switches right?

Included in this set:
Aluminium housing (Aluminum 6061) in black, silver, blue-gray, or red
MX Reinforcement plate (STS-304 1.5T)
PCB presoldered
Fixing bolts

Doesn't seem like there are switches involved so yes, you'll have to source your own.

Pretty sure there are solder holes for both shift positions. And doesn't seem like any switches are included.

[StylinGreymon]

Hmm, my order isn't showing up on the  spreadsheet.
Do I need to submit another one?

He may just not have had time to update it.  I believe he's updating that list himself.

[jdcarpe]

I'm adding orders manually onto the public sheet, so don't expect to see your name on it right after you filled in the form.

[Vintage]

So is there one plate that allows for all those different layouts? Or should we specify which layout we plan to use.

[Fnzzy]

Ordered one silver Viper.

Oh baby.

[geogga]

So it's 220 for the entire keyboard? Including build costs and such?

[awong]

So it's 220 for the entire keyboard? Including build costs and such?

I don't think so.

[cphead]

So it's 220 for the entire keyboard? Including build costs and such?

220 for:
case, plate, pcb, screws

It's in the OP.

[Vibex]

220 for the kit, it won't be built when you get it.

[epzy]

In your dreams. ^__^

[Vintage]

Yeah the 220 does not include assembly, switches, shipping, other extras. Just a kit.

[Lastpilot]

wait just for clarification, we get the whole board for 220? DANG AWESOME


lololol jk...but I think you all made your point hahahaha

[StylinGreymon]

I'm guessing my costs are gonna be:
220 for case + PCB
60 bucks for shipping (ugh)
50 bucks for switches
10 bucks for stabs
15 bucks for LEDs
35 for assembly
for shipping to me

Luckily, I've already bought everything in preparation for this buy, so I am set

Hoffman the savior! What a guy. I also ordered a silver eagle although im torn between the blue grey and silver.

I have zero experience regarding this , but being the adventurous youngster I am going to assemble my very first keyboard. I will check the forum for some basic tutorials. But if I ever encounter any problems or have any questions , may I PM you for guidance??

Not sure if that included the dreaded paypal feels.  Which is actually a fair amount for this purchase.  That assembly sounds really cheap too XD.  Lubing and spring swapping is a pain in the ass.  Luckily I plan on going 65g blues so I won't have to bother with lubing.

Absolutely!  Standing offer to anyone else to give advice, as well.  I'm by no means the most experienced builder here, but I love sharing knowledge and helping, so that's totally fine with me.     Also, the Living Soldering Thread is a great starting point, in case you haven't found that resource.

Also, I am offering casual / low cost assembly, to anyone interested.  However, I like to see people build something for themselves, because it is quite satisfying, so that's why I say what I've said above.  So if you'd like to contact me for either of these two things, don't hesitate to PM. 

[awong]

How many viper and eagle orders? I do not know which one to buy.

I may have to pm you some questions regarding resistors for the led's or other things along those lines when the time comes.  I've done switch soldering on my qfr a couple times but never really messed with led's. 

How many viper and eagle orders? I do not know which one to buy.

There are 40 vipers and 30 eagles available total.  There is an order confirmation on the front page if you wish to count them to see how many of each is left.

[elton5354]

The new google doc doesn't allow me to publish the sheet without exposing the other sheets on the same doc.  The older one allowed it, so I'm just using the old doc from the IC..if anyone know how to let me know.  Also =CountIF(Range,"*") on the old doc doesn't work as well, but works before???It works on the new one. So messed up.

Anyways, I just got home...going to read through the PMs and update the sheet..

Yeah, I'm going for stock clears, as I've heard great things, so no pesky lubing and spring swapping.
As for the assembly price, I forgot to add 10 bucks for the LEDs, but that includes the cost of assembling my Light Pad, as well.
I'm going through Tjcaustin, if anyone was wondering.

Absolute saint. Gonna go fetch some parts and tools now...

[Fnzzy]

I have have 58 switch stickers left and my Viper will have 59 switches...

I also need  clear switch tops. I hope QWER is going to stock them before I get the kit because $.50 per piece on techkeys is a little too expensive for my taste.

What color are your stickers?

[swornxin]

I will order once there is a set deadline for payment.  It really depends on when invoices start going out.

I have pink switch stickers. I also have a whole sheet of white ones but I prefer to use the pink ones when I have clear switch tops (hopefully).

[asassdsd]

Where is the best place I can get the parts thats not too expensive (Swithces, *springs, switch tops, stickers)
I live in the US..
