[GB] UK78 - 60%+Numpad [Completed] *UPDATE* PCBs and R2 plan

[ChitownM2]

Did the cases arrive as expected? Let's see some pics!

[kmba]

Love alps, but the lack of keycaps prevents me from putting them in kits like this that scream for something beautiful overall.  I will hold out to see if Halos are available by the time Nautilus ships in Dec/Jan, but otherwise I'm going with lubed zealio stems in panda housings.

[Jae-3soteric]

I asked Rozakin earlier today. Said he was just waiting for DHL to deliver the cases. Stuck over the bank holiday I think.

so.. what are these UK78L and UK-XT??

so.. what are these UK78L and UK-XT??

I'll speculate that the L is for lefthand numpad and the XT would be akin to 1800 style

Projects I have been working on, also I needed a product placeholder.

Still delayed due to bank holiday Just arrived this minute!,  the fixed pcbs are out for delivery today delivered so there shouldn't be much delay between the two shipment batches anymore

Very reasonable guesses

[kmba]

Does the blank PCB (extras) come with anything soldered? Controller maybe?

I would have thought the XT to be the same, but with fkeys to the left (like IBM XT keyboards)

No nothing is soldered with the blanks

Would it be possible to get some pictures? Would love to see a close up of a fjell style case. Preferably in the dark blue

I'll take some tonight, been working to get the first 20 ready for being sent out on Monday, the rest will be later in the week or beginning of the next.

[kmba]

Wow, so I will get this board before my M65-A.  Hah.  Kudos to you for a great gb. 

[rozakiin]

As requested here are some photos of a custom purple colour UK78, sorry for the bad lighting

They should be available through the original invoice on PayPal as they are needed to release the money still held in PayPal.

So, you were running GB with funds still held? No "my account was locked, I have to deal with it first"?
That's the example of dedication, thanks.

Yea he fronted the money and barely said anything about it!

[TheBestUkester]

Stand up dude. Super pumped! Thanks!

[clickstops]

Looks amazing. I am so excited! Now I just need to find alps granite alphas 😭

[rozakiin]

Hi everyone!

The first 22 orders were sent out today, paypal has your tracking numbers eta is 3-4days for outside of the UK. As for the rest of the orders there will be a delay as I need to program and test all of your pcbs, also I am moving into a new flat tomorrow which messes with the schedule slightly.

Fast and furious !!!!!!!!!!!

Got my tracking info. Awesome man, can't wait.

[ectoplasmatic]

This is amazing Roz! Thanks so much for your great work!

[MMKB]

Hats off to Rozakiin who did an amazing job organizing this GB. Although I bailed out midway (need to mention that the refund was quick), I'm super impressed by the progress so far. Considering the lead time of other keyboards and keysets, this GB seems very well planned and executed.

[BaconEggandCheeseBagel]

Excited for this board to get here - awesome work man!

[Petch]

Damn, that was fast... sadly won't be able to get it until tomorrow as I'll most likely be at work whilst it's delivered

[SBN]

Such a fast and smooth GB! Awesome work Rozakiin!

I'm not even worried about not making the first shipping batch, since I will be waiting for keycaps and switches anyway... You are just too fast!

Thanks! I am working on getting the rest sent out as soon as I can, should be sent by next week I hope

[ChitownM2]

Can't wait for mine to ship. This was an amazingly fast and well run GB.

[Petch]

Sooooo I went to collect it from the post office after work and the parcelforce van it was in broke down and never made it to the post office - so now it's stuck god knows where

[Jae-3soteric]

Got mine today - ordered a blank PCB in error so now need to get the components and solder it... what a tool

[martink]

Got mine this morning. Two days from the UK to Switzerland including customs processing. That was fast!

And it's looking great! Thanks rozakiin.

To bad I missed this one.
If anyone sells his / trades hit me up.

Hello everyone, sorry to announce but I made a mistake with the plates, the plate blocks the middle switch of a 3x 1u righthand modifiers layout as shown in this picture, I would be possible to cut that part out if needed but if is a deal breaker then please contact me so I can try and sort something out.

I don't mind  :) Hopefully most people were planning on 2 1.5u keys

[kmba]

2x 1.5 all the way!  I use right control as function anyway.. no use for a right control.

Hey, If you are doing 2x 1.5 with the arrow cluster, you need to change the firmware to have the FN closest to the arrow cluster and alt gr next to the space bar, other wise it come up as alt and ctrl.

Built mine yesterday and its beautiful, Thank you again Roz for all your hard work

I'll be having to do a lot of changes anyway, because I'm likely going to do this layout (if it's possible?)

This exact is listed among supported layouts:

Yeah I was just wondering if the plate would be an issue, but it shouldn't be

I'm unfamiliar with this firmware editor, would it be possible to set 4,5,6,8 to an arrow cluser when numlock is off? Obviously 4,6,8 would be left, right, up but I'm wondering if I can easily have 5 as down with the numlock toggle
