I’m a bit confused. At the top it mentions the color options + aluminum weight, but the bottom states It’s $385 for the case with brass weight, plate and PCB.
The default the brass weight, right? :)
What firmware does the PCB run anyway, i couldnt find it listed anywhere. Is it something that QMK could be ported to?
That's correct, no brass weight, typo on my part.I’m a bit confused. At the top it mentions the color options + aluminum weight, but the bottom states It’s $385 for the case with brass weight, plate and PCB.

Pretty sure it's a typo. AFAIK there is no brass weight.
He needs to get permission from Percent, doubtful there will be another International run. Your best bet would be Taobao
Any possibility of a run with the pink case and blue weight? That's my favorite combo.

Same - are there any 65s worth looking forward to? I missed out on the m65a and exent does nothing for me.
Did I miss a price change? From $385 to $415?

Or saved myself. Just depends on how you look at it. I already got lucky with Kira60 and 268Ag. This woulda been nice. But my wallet woulda been sad. Plus Fjell Classic next month.

Have Percent Studio made more keyboards/keysets than this and the skog? I just found out they had made a keyset also which is excellent!

What are the odds that the Canoe might be run again in the future outside of China? It's been run multiple times on Taobao, so maybe Percent wouldn't mind if it's run again after the current set? I don't want to give up hope of getting myself one at some point.
Invoice received and paid. I didn't see mention of color on the invoice, I assume we're getting our first (non-white) color selection? but I just wanted to confirm which color I was in for.There will be a public Gsheet for you to check and confirm the colour choice :D

:P
Just paid mine now (I don't check my email that often q.q), hopefully in time. Some unsolicited advice: if you do future GBs, I'd recommend putting ~20 people on your "waiting list" and making that visible as well as the winners, so that those people are aware to check back in case they do get in later (e.g. Elton does this for Duck GBs).

Canoe has been available twice in China, and only once to the public, it was a pre-stock sales.
The first batch in China was kinda color combo pre-proofing among some friends.
Future batches for China are planned.
As for int'l, there might be another run, depends on how well this one goes, but it will be with another color combo.
Sorry to bring the doom & gloom but my Canoe stopped working today. I didn't have a problem with it until today when it suddenly locked up and kept repeating the last key pressed.
Now, it doesn't light up, no keys work and when plugging into windows I get "The USB device malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it".
I'm asking some people for help but nothing I've tried is working. I'm searching google for some help but, it seems like the board is not getting power or the device drivers just got wiped clean somehow. I've tried plugging it into a mac, PC and various different USB cables.
For reference, my FC660C plugged into the same USB cable and port works perfectly fine.
I'm highly disappointed that this is an issue with such a "high end custom" keyboard.
I've taken it completely out of the case. It's not shorting on the case.
I'm going to just try getting another PCB one way or another.

There has to be a fix for it. Has anyone ever heard of a controller just dying? Do you have a multimeter to see if it is getting power?
It sounds like the firmware is fried.
If the MCU were busted windows wouldn't recognize something is plugged in at all.
The firmware tells windows what it is and without it you'll get that message about not recognizing it.
Do you know what firmware and MCU it uses?
You're probably going to need an ISP programmer to reflash the firmware and bootloader.

If Add on kit means a second plate/pcb, then my entry is not correct. I ordered one as well, but through monokai directly (Kerri told me to order it like that and that the two orders are noted as belonging together:)).
About the mouspad: The black/red one is not available, right? Or as the others mentioned teal on Navy Blue would be nice as well.
I‘d still be intrested in a different one, depending a bit on the price.
Can people who didn't make it into the gb scoop one? I want a blue one, that ish is niiice!Yea that's fine, we might have to ship the mousepad first since it's gonna arrive here waaaaay earlier than the board :P
Yea that's fine, we might have to ship the mousepad first since it's gonna arrive here waaaaay earlier than the board :P
Shipping will be from Singapore via Singpost or UPS depending on locale.

I'd ask for this to be optional, I'd rather wait for it than go through the troubles of customs twice. For me that currently means taking 2 trains and waiting in line for an hour or two.
BTW what service are you using to send the stuff out? I'd pay extra for DHL Express as they bring it to my door where I can pay the VAT, no customs there.

I’ll be opening up a Google form for the mousepads this weekend, as of now it should weigh about 700g

I'm thinking of leaving an option for comments, or you could combine orders and have just 1 person submit the order and then distribute once it reaches Aus.
How do we go about combining shipping? Me and MxBlue (superdoedoes invoice) are in in Aus and wanna save on the individual shipping.

Just to be sure: when buying a mouspad and getting it shipped together with the board, there won‘t be extra cost for the shipping? Did I understand correctly?

Sorry all, CrimsonPelicon has taken u/brimstoner's white canoe. Thanks for all the interest. Beamingrobot, I will message you about it - and work out the shipping stuff when it comes. Don't need to change any payment details.
Cheers all!
With regards to the MAO white spot: appreciate you guys settling it on your own. I'm gonna write a bit on why I'm hesitant to transfer spots at this point, will be replying to the email sent.'
On PayPal and GBs:
I'm sure by now many of you have heard of PP horror stories and how GB runners should have notified them ahead of time. Let me just say that in my and other GB runner experiences, notifying PP ahead of time, including all info and even using a business account does not guarantee any recourse once the money comes in. Prior to this GB we have been in constant contact with PP through emails and phone calls, given that their SEA headquarters are situated here in Singapore. Despite assurances from them that once a large amount of $ comes in it'll be fine, the amount slated for Canoe was immediately frozen due to a few factors PP highlighted:
1. Product was not immediately fulfilled (Which we informed them prior to the buy that this would happen)
2. Refunds (PayPal viewed cancellation and reinvoices due to a few transfers etc as refunds by unhappy customers, which to PP signalled that we were having trouble fulfilling items)
Since the entirety , or close to the entirety of the Canoe funds were frozen, we decided to go ahead with the best solution at that time. I paid for the entire production out of myChristmas moneysavings, and at this stage I'm quite happy to say that we're still fine in terms of finances and that the buy was fully funded. I do not have any idea when PP will decide to unfreeze the amount, and thankfully since I'm a nerd who stays at home most of the time my savings have not been drained at this point. Unless I find an OTD Koala I guess.
So, why not refund and reinvoice? Any refund will flag us to PP, further extending the freeze period. I confirmed this with the rep over the phone and while she was sympathetic this is how PP works. I've sold quite a few of my personal boards over the past few months in order to further accumulate buffer in case any unfortunate things happen, which so far is fine :thumb:
So the moral of the story is this. PayPal is erratic and highly volatile from my perspective. For future buys I will consider Shopify payments (CC/DC) and bank transfers heavily over PP, since Shopify still provides customer protection for goods purchased, and deposits $ regularly without freezing huge sums for no reason.
This is why I'm only processing transfers much later, I hope this helps to explain the logic behind my actions.
Regarding production: Percent is finishing up Skog and then he will return to Canoe. Some units are close to done, and not to worry since kingnestea and I are in close contact with him.
TL:DR: PayPal sucks, get a debit card.

Fairly certain the plate and PCB only support a single layout, so no.

Update.
What I have with me now:
10 MAO units, packing them at the moment to have them out this coming week. If you have received an invoice it means yours is ready to go.
What I'm still waiting on:
Add-on kits (PCB + plate), rest of the units.
This also means that if you ordered a PCB + plate with your MAO unit it will have to wait, since I'll ship them out together.
I'll update more once I receive more units, hopefully soon.

I gotchu fam, sending it to you now.
Hey Beaming, sent you a message about an address change because I took over brimstoner(aeryxz) spot. He told me he got an invoice and we thought it might be best if you send an invoice directly to me.I'll get back to you on this by tomorrow, don't pay the invoice first! :D

Thanks! No rush, whenever you get a chance to respond to the message. Or there is a rush because who doesn't want their Canoe immediately :))

GMK 9009 or GMK Honeywell. Depends on color combo. I got other gmk sets which might complement white case. For example GMK Oblivion (gray alphas) which probably will look good on it.

Some shots of Canoe with GMK 9009. Build it last night.

Amazing build and photos, sir. I bet the led indicator is the cherry on top of the icing for this one.
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks!
Actually the led in the right top corner cant be mapped as caps lock indicator. I've tried it via bootmapper but it does not offer the ability to pair capslock with that led. This is sad ofcourse becuase such feature would be really that cherry on top of icecream.
Anyway the led is off on my board because i do like just solid look without any lights.
Is there going to be Canoe R2? Thanks in advance and any information is appreciated.
I notice that the bottom doesn't have the spots for bumpons that I'm used to.
Just stick some on?

i've heard that percent wants to focus on just running canoe and skog in the future
and maybe a 3rd design
this was a month or two ago at this point though so i don't know if it still holds up
Just finished putting mine together with Zilents.
I fitted all the 1u keys to the plate, mounted that to the PCB and then did the stabilized keys.
Here's a potato.

GMK cyrillic would look very nice. Out of those three, i prefer nautilus. :thumb:

PM‘d about mousepads, address adjustment and general status update. :)
Really looking forward to this, hopefully the extras coming in soon.
Yep I saw that, sorry for the unclear post: With extras I meant additional PCB and plate I got with a MAO canoe in the GB. According to the last post of beaming, they would arrive later than the MAOs and thus the orders with additional extras will be delayed as well.PM‘d about mousepads, address adjustment and general status update. :)
Really looking forward to this, hopefully the extras coming in soon.
Beaming Robot has one of the units up for sale on MechMarket right now
So here's what we have coming in about a week-ish.
Some units of black + gold, some units of black + grey, some of the add-on kits (PCB + plate) Hopefully this means that I can finish up the MAO and black ones within the next few weeks.
For those who transferred spots, I've updated it on the public sheet. I'm waiting on some of your addresses/emails etc, so let me know once you get to it :)

Bumping again because I'd also like to know. The main idea is "we are waiting for anodizing" but the international buy has the spreadsheet of confirmation of the status of their order; whilst those of us in the private GB are just fingers crossed. Especially considering the initial timeline was supposed to be like 30 days. Its now been 7 months and Paypal protections are out the window.

I don't have access to that, will wait for nestea's reply.
Shipping invoices are going out for the final 2 MAO units (whew) and a few black/gold + black/silver ones. Some of you who ordered the black/silver and did not swap to the black/gold will have to wait for the next shipment.
I've gone down the list as it is when assigning the shipping invoices for those who ordered black/silver.

Received mine as well a few days ago and had the same reaction: Why is it called mao white? ;)
I haven‘t built mine yet but I still really like it so far despite me not realizing what color the MAO really was going to be! :) Super excited to get this built!

Even though there were some delays (which you most certainly couldn‘t control), the GB was really smooth, especially because I felt that you always let us know all the important updates!

Curious why you are asking. Are you having trouble with your PCB or just looking to pick one up? I ask b/c my canoe PCB was pretty much DOA but I managed to fix it by reflowing the MCU pins.

No, no problem as yet, just anticipating options once I have it in hand. As I took over someone's spot I didn't get a chance to order a spare pcb/plate.
There are a few switches I would like to try, namely the new royals from Noveltykeyz, or a lighter zealios variant, and I suspect I will butcher the pcb in the desoldering process. Thanks for the lead on the Sentraq and Tada
The silence is deafening. Are people not hyped for the incoming boards? =p. Thursday is going to be like xmas in May for me - haha.

Also, if you're part of the buy, please allow for time for me to respond. I generally try to reply within a few hours, but spamming multiple messages through Geekhack, Reddit and on my store does not help in any way. Generally this happens with people of a particular country :thinking:
For the remaining kits, we're waiting on Percent but I'm hopeful that it'll be soon, thanks for the remaining ones for your patience, I really can't thank you guys enough.

Looked what showed up out of the blue today ~one day early. Thank you beamingrobot! Thanks to finalarcadia for letting me have his spot, much appreciated it =) and thanks to my fam...oh wait wrong show...Great to see everything arrived in order :)
Got my canoe today and I am already having pcb issues. My whole 1, q, a, z, lgui column of keys do not work at all. I tried re-flowing the solder around the atmel chip and the traces look fine, what else should I be trying to troubleshoot?

Are you using screw-in stab (like zeal one)? I had similar issues on EXENT and M65A PCBs with screw-in stabilizers. If you do, try to get the screw off, see if it fix, if yes insulate your PCB with some tap for example before putting back the screw. Globally this looks like a short somewhere
Mine came in perfectly, no problems. But I have to find rubber feet before using it though, mine didn't come with any.

Looking at my bad, I was generously given one :))
For those interested in the level of QC a board you buy from Percent might get you, look no further:Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/fQMf5BU.jpg)Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/yJ6W1tQ.jpg)
sigh.
Unfortunate to say, my Canoe arrived with a dead PCB. Bootmapper won't talk to it, and the left 3 columns do not work. I will try to use an ISP to reflash it, but I don't have much hope.
The board also arrived with only 2 screws in the weight, partially screwed in. The other screws just bounced around inside. Some scoff marks on the top shell as well. Looks like my animosity wasn't unwarranted.

Had almost the exact same problem and reflowing worked for me. I put a lot of flux on the pins and then stuck a chisel tip iron to it. I put the tip almost straight down, spanning 2-4 pins at a time.

MxBlue, please pass on my thanks to whoever who's ported it to QMK, very classy of them to do something like that.
GH PMs are down so if you've messaged me I apologize if there's no reply.
Nestea and I are trying to get extra PCBs directly, probably without plates. This is separate from those who ordered the addon kit, and if we do manage to get it I'll pay for the lot first and then let everyone know when I receive it so that you'll get a chance to buy it. Priority goes to those in the buy of course.
2 blacks and a bunch of addon kits left, should be soon :thumb:
Just FYI, my mate ported the ps2avrGB branch of QMK to the Canoe, for anyone who fancies that: https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/tree/master/keyboards/canoe
I tested 5 PCB's I have here and they all worked fine for me. Bad transportation maybe? Or bad luck I guess.

Beamingrobot will have some stock from this round of GB.
So no need to join the Chinese GB since it's not so convenience for foreigners to join and follow a Taobao GB.

To be fair, the Chinese GB brings a whole new set of colours, as well as a WKL option. I can't say I'm not interested, even though I have a Canoe from this round.

I meant this round with new color combo. From the GB that's happening tonight in China
I will probably post here and have a Google form ready, will send out info as a separate mailing list since my site has not been optimised for GDPR etc

Damn. I just tested the link and got a 404. I was hoping to pick up the extra PCB/Plate. Are they gone already?

Crossing my toes for you also, you've consistently been hunting for one since the beginning! =p
I'm curious to see if there's a way to purchase an extra PCB/Plate, can anyone fill me in?

Fairly sure beamingrobot will put em up on monokei.us when he actually get's them, last I heard he's still waiting.
Please be prepared to wait at least 3 months +-

Alright everyone's gotta chill. R2 is still in production so we've gotta wait for that to complete, and then it'll be sent to me and only then I can put it up. Gform will come in the next few weeks, and once you're on the mailing list I'll give ample heads up and time before it goes up for sale.

just finished building mine today and the entire home row isn't registering any key. i didn't really test the pcb before the build, but the soldering is clean. could this be fixed with a firmware update? if so, could someone share the firmware for this? thanks.

Unlikely, that it is the firmware, here is a link to the keymap for BootmapperClient though: https://www.dropbox.com/s/0qedoydfs4taj0r/canoe_keymap.hex?dl=0
You really should have tested your PCB first, but you can try and save it if you're confident by reflowing the corresponding pin on the MCU (or all of them lol)

would you know how i can identify the pin that I should reflow on the MCU? the contact points on this thing are extremely tiny.
Follow the trace that connects the dead row all way. If the trace reaches a hole, that means the trace continues on the other side, flip the PCB around and continue following until you eventually reach a pin on the MCU. If you have a multimeter, you can just test continuity between a switch hole and the pins on the MCU until you find the right one.
Yes, the contacts on the MCU are tiny, so it's advised you use a chisel tip to reflow optimally without causing bridges. If you aren't confident, you'll have to wait for beamingrobot to get extras in, and hopefully organise something with him.
I wish you the best of luck, and please test all PCBs you plan to use before doing so, it really does save you a lot of pain.

Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions! Last question. What I should try to do is touch the contact points with the soldering iron tip, and give time for the solder to reform?

Basically, yes. Tin the tip of your iron, then just melt the solder until it looks liquidy, then take off the iron and let it cool.

IT WORKED!!! Thank you very much for the patience in helping out, MxBlue! You are my hero! I'm typing on it now :D What would make this all better is if you let me hop on your GB :D
Sometimes my Canoe won't connect to the pc, even moreso depening on what cable I use. Currently plugged in to a 3.0 anker usb hub that's directly connected to my MB. Plug it out and in and it works again. Anyone else that may have had this problem and/or knows a solution? I only have this with the Canoe, all other keebs work fine.

To put it simply, the protocol that the PCB uses to talk to the OS is a funny one, and it tends to hate the following:
- Crap cables
- USB hubs
- USB 3.0/3.1
So the solution is to connect directly to the motherboard, preferably on a USB 2.0 port, though I'm sure 1 or 2 ports on your system will work. An unfortunate limitation of V-USB, which is necessary for the MCU (ATMega 32A), which is necessary for ps2avrGB.
So feel free to hate all 3 of those issues LOL

Hmm ok, that's kinda dumb. So either I place an extra usb extension cable only for the canoe and put it in a 2.0 port, or what I did now and that's using a 2.0 port for my 3.0 usb hub :P Kinda counterintuitive but it's worth a try :)

A small amendment, things it hates in order: USB Hub > Crappy cable > USB 3.0 . Feel free to just try variations with this mind, I wish you the best of luck,
After another attempt at reflowing, with a tad of added solder, I got my PCB working :thumb: Looks like most of the problems lie with the soldering of the MCU itself.
And a shout-out to Shados for being a lad and providing me with a ISP dump of the flash and EEPROM, will help anyone who managed to brick their boards. He's let me make it publicly available, so here it is for anyone who ends up bricking their PCBs: https://www.dropbox.com/s/pj1mfvjw9lpp30w/canoe_stock_dumps.tar.gz?dl=0

Are those three pictures all of the same Canoe? And if so, what color is the top/bottom/plate/weight? It's beautiful.Exactly on all three photos its the same canoe. The first photo is darker but i choosed it because it was more pleasing to the eye than other close up photos i made.
Love your photography - it's so "alive" :thumb:Thanks! <3 :D

Anyone getting issues with the bottom row cutting in and out with the pcb? I built mine, but there's no issues with my solder points, seems to be a usb issue
Anyone getting issues with the bottom row cutting in and out with the pcb? I built mine, but there's no issues with my solder points, seems to be a usb issue
full row not responding sounds like a weak solder joint on a pin to the MCU (the chip on the PCB)
Many people (including me) have had issues with rows not working, and they were able to fix it by reflowing those pins.

Oooh, that's scary. The pins are pretty small how do ya manage it?
The chip is surface mount soldered, so there is solder below the pins; however, it is not making a proper connection on one or more or them. You need to reheat that solder and help it to flow to the pins that are on top of it. Put some flux on the pins and then touch the tip of the soldering iron to the pins. The flux makes it so that the heat will better travel all around and under the pins. It doesn't matter how much flux you use, you can clean it up with isopropyl afterwards. Don't use any solder or you will most likely bridge the connections. I just put my solder tip across 3-4 pins at a time. I hold the chip down with my spare hand until the solder on the pins re-solidifies. It gets hot quickly, so take some time between pin groups.

Or the one with like 12 or soAnyone getting issues with the bottom row cutting in and out with the pcb? I built mine, but there's no issues with my solder points, seems to be a usb issue
full row not responding sounds like a weak solder joint on a pin to the MCU (the chip on the PCB)
Many people (including me) have had issues with rows not working, and they were able to fix it by reflowing those pins.
Oooh, that's scary. The pins are pretty small how do ya manage it?
The chip is surface mount soldered, so there is solder below the pins; however, it is not making a proper connection on one or more or them. You need to reheat that solder and help it to flow to the pins that are on top of it. Put some flux on the pins and then touch the tip of the soldering iron to the pins. The flux makes it so that the heat will better travel all around and under the pins. It doesn't matter how much flux you use, you can clean it up with isopropyl afterwards. Don't use any solder or you will most likely bridge the connections. I just put my solder tip across 3-4 pins at a time. I hold the chip down with my spare hand until the solder on the pins re-solidifies. It gets hot quickly, so take some time between pin groups.
The one with 12 or so. The one on the left in this pic that says "Atmel" on it.

If anyone has a spare PCB and plate that they don't need feel free to reach out. One of my two Canoes just dropped dead.
i know of two separate people who are on PCB 4 and 5 respectively

no streaking, ano seems pretty good, would anyone try making replacement or aftermarket PCBs for these boards? Surely there would be a (small) market for them?

Hmm... How hard is it for someone who knows how to design PCBs to just copy this? I'd be more than happy to join a GB for PCBsCreating a PCB with the same functionality is probably not that hard. Thing is, one would need an original to take measurements from. I could probably do it, but I don't have a lot of time on my hands these days.

How awesome would it be to run a GB for PCBs and at the same time run that wooden canoe sandwich design. Where did I see that? I’m thinking it was in a TopClack stream?

Some extra PCB will be available from Beamingrobot with the R2 batch
I hate to be that guy, but do you really want more of the same dead and dying pcb's?
Is there any update on the kits with addon PCBs? All this talk about extras and 2nd group buys is making me upset when I haven't even gotten an invoice for shipping of round 1. Do I need to PM beamingrobot?

I don't, as I stated earlier in this thread, Percent is quite unpredictable.
But I'm bugging him every week for those. Doing all I can do to help concluding the R1 orders.
If I had to take a guess, the PCBs might be just dying in international shipping, with temperature changes.
While a reflow may seem simple enough to you or me kingnestea, please do understand that not everyone who purchased from this group buy is capable of resolving this issue.
I appreciate the update, but you do need to understand that this issue is less than trivial to us, even if it just works for in China.
Better packaging may help I guess.

Nope, the pcbs are packaged as well as can be expected. I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's to do with the type and amount of solder used for assembly. I guess the ENIG finish on the pads may also be a factor.
If I had to take a guess, the PCBs might be just dying in international shipping, with temperature changes.Thank you, the fact that these PCBs have to be reflowed is a flaw in it's own. A "simple fix" should not have to be required when purchasing a high dollar product.

Hey all, some small updates.
Firstly to all who are waiting on the addon kits, my apologies for the long wait. We've been bugging Percent constantly (esp kingnestea) and the plate + pcbs should be on their way to the shipping company soonish. That's about as much as we know for now.

I've ordered 20 extra PCBs with the help of kingnestea which are not part of the main buy. I've paid for those and have received a tracking number, ETA should be next week if everything goes well. I will give some details on how these PCBs will be sold later on, but please bear in mind I will only prioritize: those who are waiting on their addon kits and those who are in the buy.
As for Round 2, there will be news when I receive it. The entire set of R2 has been paid for, and I'll update on when it goes on sale etc once I receive it. That will be FCFS, announcement will be done via this thread and no place else.

Something is a little weird with my new Canoe. BootMapperClient won't allow me to use SHIFT + ESC to call the ~ key.
On my old canoe, tilde works fine. On the new canoe, it doesn't. I even copied the HEX from the old canoe and flashed it to the new one.
Still no dice. Nothing wrong with the board or the pcb at all. FN + SHIFT + ESC works fine to call tilde, but my old canoe can do it with SHIFT + ESC and I'd like to duplicate the behavior.
Any tips?
I'm also in the market for another PCB and Plate, not because anything is wrong but because I'd like to do the bandaid mod on my old canoe.
Looking forward for a new group buy of the Canoe. Waiting impatiently :'(
OK, so I think I just bricked my Canoe PCB... I'm really hoping someone can give me a suggestion of how to troubleshoot since I'm totally stumped.I have noticed that the canoe pcb is pretty picky when it comes to usb cables and/or usb hubs. Have you tried another cable and if you use a hub connect it directly to the PC/MB?
I recently bought a Canoe on r/mechmarket and it worked beautifully for about 2 hours. Then I started playing around with the function layer key to see what buttons adjusted the backlighting, top LED, etc. I managed to turn on the key backlighting and shortly thereafter the PCB started acting very strange. The keys would stop registering after a few seconds of the keyboard being plugged in, and then the keyboard went completely dead. I'm not sure if it was a coincidence in timing with me using the function layer but I have no idea what to do at this point. Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot?
Thanks for the suggestion. Yes, I've tried both of those things with no success.Was worth a try :( That’s all the help I can offer unfortunately, hope others can be of more assistance.
Are you using screw in stabs?
make sure they're not shorting on anything
Do we know the pricing for R2 retail?Last one was 460 dollar shipped to the us
Does the pcb support split backspace?
Any updates on the R2 batch?
Hello guys i build my Canoe and it works. But the Weird thing is that it only works with one cable i have. I have 2 Zap cables and only one of them work. I tested the non working cable on other keyboards and they do work fine but with the Canoe it's a no go.
Any ideas why this is happening?

Not exactly sure what's happening but I've read on previous posts that the Canoe is super picky about what USB cable you use. I personally haven't had that specific experience with my Canoe but I can tell you that certain custom cables I've purchased have not performed well with various keyboards. I've literally thrown them away because they're so undependable.
Hi guys! I'm coming from Reddit and I'm thinking about the Canoe as my first custom. Is the R2 for this GB over? How are peoples overall experience with the keyboard? I read some people had issues with PCBs.

I think the Canoe is one of the better customs out there. The build quality is exceptional, I'm a fan of the 65% layout and they look badass. I'll go so far as to say if I had to give up my entire collection with the exception of 1 keyboard, I would probably opt for holding on to the Canoe. That being said the first PCB I bought died in about a week but luckily I was able to find a replacement PCB that has been going strong for about a month now. My hope is that Percent is improving the reliability of their PCBs but I honestly don't know.
Curious, did you ever try to fix the PCB? What were the symptoms?
Does anyone know how to reset the pcb to flash a new keymap onto the keyboard?

Have you reflowed/added solder to the MCU? If not, start there. Ensure each pin looks soldered on afterwards with no bridges between pins, flux helps a lot.
no split backspace
How is it that canoes are now being offered for 299? Has the factory changed to one of lesser quality? Has the pcb been fixed? This is significantly lower pricing than either R1 or R2 and no mention of any moq either.

FIY , there's Canoe PCBs for sale on Taobao (actually the entire board AFAIK, I'm guessing knock off from the factory used for the original) and they're pretty cheap, if anyone needs a replacement.

Was told from a source that seems reliable that there was a delay from the manufacturer (Eve). Your Canoes should be coming. No estimated timeline was given, but other folks that have contacted Percent have been told that they will be shipped by the end of the month.
Also, source says that this will be the last GB for Canoes, but a possible revision of the Canoe might happen in the future (BT).

This might sound like a sarcastic question, but I’m serious - is there a way to buy more pcbs for the canoe ? (Other than mech market)

Someone is working on a PCB for the Canoe, but I don't know an ETA. Perhaps it'll come before the end of the year. What I can say is that I have made the plate file from scratch and it is ready to go. I've done 3 prototypes in different material just to be sure.
Love the keyboard but hate the PCB. Randomly the top right led just don't work reflowed everything need to probably replace them. I like what you make percent studio but your PCB's are garbage super low end. Still waiting for someone to make a high quality replacement PCB :(

I just finished building my canoe and the pcb is already acting up. The caps lock was not working that well so I resoldered a new switch and same thing. I had to use flux so that the solder flowed more.
One PCB project is done so that means the Canoe moves up on the list. I'll see where things are in December. Hopefully the other projects will be close to finished by then.

Will definitely buy one when it happens
Man, i really need a softer plate for my canoe. My 205g0 lube job has now worn off on these gateron blacks and it just feels so harsh on the aluminum. Would love to rebuild with a better PCB and softer plate. Hope someone is still pursuing this nice addition to the beautiful Canoe

So... my Canoe stopped working today. Switching PCs, USB cables, nothing. Windows just detects an error with the USB device and will go no further.
Did anyone ever get a 3rd party PCB going? I really like this board so I would hate to make it a doorstop.
It's *really* frustrating how Percent deals with this. I have tried contacting them several times (email, their website, instagram) and anything about spare PCBs gets ignored. I've spent a good amount on Percent KB's but frankly this kind of thing makes me not want to give them another cent. Every other custom KB organizer provides better support. This is broken.

Really? Most vendors don't have extra PCBs.
Just off the top of my head, I've had issues with Space65 and Exent. My friend's Volcanno660 also has issues.
It's just the nature of the hobby.
I did email them about maybe buying a spare pcb from them if they had any extra. AND I got a reply! The reply was "check that I didn't accidentally turn on sticky keys and restart my computer". Sticky keys is definitely not the reason my pcb stopped working and restarting did nothing lol
I messaged someone about commissioning a PCB and he said he was already planning on designing one and selling them on his site. So I think we're probably going to have a solution to our problems fairly soon :) As soon as they go on sale, and if no one has done it already, someone should post a link to them in this thread. I'm sure they'll be advertised well enough :)thanks, good to know. please keep us updated if there are PCB out there.
I definitely did all the things I could think of with qmk. qmk usually fixes all my problems, but not this time. Also, my problems did not come from qmk, so you're probably safe if you just want to flash a new layout.

If there is enough interest, perhaps can get them to run a pcb GB or something. I think it is probably just one or two batches of PCBs had issues.
That said, all GBs do not come with warranty - just saying, not trying to defend Percent or anything.

I am pretty sure there is enough demand do do it. I've seen many people looking for canoe pcb. It would be lovely to get hands on that demo pcb with a split bs which you were flashing on your IG.
Hey guys, I've taken the liberty to email/message percent studio about putting together a PCB GB.
Got a reply same day, they WILL BE DOING A PCB GROUP BUY or selling it on their percent.studio website. They told me they'll send out an email to those who've purchased the canoe when its up on the site
Usually they just ignore all e-mails regarding the PCB

More people need to voice the concerns so they know it is not a single case but worthy of a GB (at scale). There is no way they will do a GB just for a single person, it is really not economical for any GB runner to do that.

I asked him to in the QQ group last night. Fugui will do it.

My issue was the fact I just could not get a response at all. It's a bad experience to spend the amount you do on a custom keyboard and not be able to get any feedback (or in the case of some others helpful feedback). I didn't expect a free board or a PCB just for me, but some level of support to me as someone who supports your business and has purchased multiple boards from you (Percent).Got a reply same day, they WILL BE DOING A PCB GROUP BUY or selling it on their percent.studio website.

This is exciting news! Appreciate the work in getting this started!
Understood. Just to be clear I am no longer part of the Percent Studio team. I just helped you folks communicate your concerns to him in the QQ group. From my understanding it is not Fugui's full time job, he is probably already doing his best in responding to some emails. And it is a common understanding of caveat emptor -- the GB items do not carry a warranty. To be fair to Percent, most other GB runners probably won't respond to such isolated issues, especially quite a while after GB.

Second. I do agree with you that more people have to voice concerns, single complaints really is hard to resolve after manufacturing process is completed for such a long time. There's not much Percent can reply back other than i'm sorry? but for future reference, please clarify with the runner about after-sales service! This is definitely a lesson learned for myself and understand why people buy so many extra parts now.

I'll be honest - I didn't know you were! I do follow your current projects (Space65 customer and hope to be a part of Think65v2) and have always appreciated your posts/communication.
What you are doing here is beyond scope so I am sure many others like me will be very thankful as will the folks over on Reddit who need PCBs but aren't on here.
I'm a little worried about this PCB situation. This was my first board group buy and didn't have the funds for extras at the time. How likely is this to be an issue?Unfortunately from my experience, it's likely. I've burned through 2 PCBs—maybe I had extra bad luck tho. Oldcat was kind enough to sell me a couple extras way back in the day and they came in handy.

Yo guys! Someone is running QMK replacement PCBs and plates now!

Are the Gen 1 and Gen 2 PCB's interchangeable?
Those Canoe keebs look so nice.
This new Skog Reboot looks nice as well!
Canoe owners - how do you score the quality of your keyboards? Are you loving your little Canoes? :)

Quality of the Canoe is very high IMO, but PCBs are unreliable.
Any updates on the Gen 2's?
Does Any One Know If There Will Be Canoe Gen2 Eva 01 Extras? :(https://percent.studio/products/canoe-gen2-eva-01-limited-edition
My Canoe gen2 will be arriving tomorrow (Monday).Awesome don’t forget to post some pictures
What is the best way to get in touch with Percent?
The tracking for my order has been stuck at "Label created" for two months now. I have contacted FedEx and they told me that they never received the parcel from the sender, so they can't give me updates either - and Percent isn't responding to my emails.
I've been seeing Canoe Gen2 boards pop up on mechmarket and r/mk for several months now, so I guess most of them should have been delivered by now?
