Is the top picture blue-grey? How consistent is that colouring? Would it ever be lighter or darker?

There are more pics of blue-grey here http://duck0113.tistory.com/81
edit: and I believe anodizing is the same unless it is in a different batch. Which is why some other cases had slightly different color top halves from bottom. But you may want to research more on that.
I picked blue/gray eagle... but I think I should go with black... everything else I got is black...
I'm torn between silver and blue-grey.The blue-grey looks quite unique and beautiful, so to me, it's a no-brainer.
And before anyone posts the buy both girl gif, my budget does not allow for buying both.
How customizable is the layout of the Viper? I want a layout that's a hybrid of the two seen here: http://duck0113.tistory.com/81 (http://duck0113.tistory.com/81).I've never built a keyboard, but isn't that just a question of where you solder the switches?Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/1h3pp2g.png)this is how I want it to look like when everything's finished.
Ordered silver viper. But, do I want a blue-grey one? Really can't decide!

Can anyone clarify whether we should source plate or pcb mounted stabs?PCB Mount Stabs.

Sure, but only if the PCB actually allows you to solder a switch there and has proper stabilizer mount points. :) I don't remember if we've seen the PCB of these boards yet, but they may or may not allow that - the plate also would need the proper holes.

Xenderwind, correcting me since forever ago. :D Thanks for the pictures and information! I need to hone my detective skills big time.Haha, I've been keeping somewhat up to date with elton's gbs since I came back to GH. Been excited for this gb to start.
I'll find out about the alps question.
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.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.
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.

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

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

Are you gonna need me to do this one for you too? :-*
Light Pad? No?
Been casually following the other thread, really like the looks of the Eagle and Light Pad together.
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
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
Some quick questions:Pretty sure there are solder holes for both shift positions. And doesn't seem like any switches are included.

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

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

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??
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. :thumb: Also, the Living Soldering Thread (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=42824.0) 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. :)

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?

I live in the US..
Where is the best place I can get the parts thats not too expensive (Swithces, *springs, switch tops, stickers)Switches and springs you can get on classifieds or sprit gb for springs. I'm not going to bother with tops/stickers but I believe some vendor sites have stickers but not really sure about tops (most likely classifieds).

For the stablizers and springs from the gb, will i get the part right away? Or do i have to wait?
this gb seems incredibly popular!!I count 37 already on there since he last updated it. I wouldn't ask questions and just order it now incase this is all we get (who knows if they will produce more). It might already be sold out of the premade ones by now and he hasnt updated it yet.
any chance of getting 2 vipers? or is the inventory already nearly exhausted?
- There will be no extras for sale after this group buy is closed, so please put your order in before it's too late ;)
I remember reading that but since he also didn't list the number of them in the OP one could interpret that as all orders will be filled, but once they are closed no more will be produced.- There will be no extras for sale after this group buy is closed, so please put your order in before it's too late ;)
There are 40 Vipers and 30 Eagles cases that are made already.which one can take as a hint that more will be produced if the demand meets it.
Will the pre-made ones ship out earlier than the ones that still have to be made?I kinda doubt there will be any such thing as "ones that still have to be made." They sold these in a Korean group buy, and Duck most likely had these extras made to sell in this very buy. Usually when that happens, when the units are sold, they are just gone, and no more will be made, unless there were to be another round of sales, in say a year from now.

Unfortunately, having a run of say 20-30 PCBs manufactured after you already had 200 delivered is cost prohibitive. You lose the volume tiers, and wouldn't be able to sell them for the same price. Same goes for cases, etc.
where are you guys getting stabs from?

Ah well looks like I missed out.Couldn't hurt to place an order anyway. Incase someone backs out or something. Surprised you missed it with how active you are :S.
I'm pretty sure the orders are unlimited.Un-un-un-unlimited?! Duck is stepping up production wow, lol.
Will the pre-made ones ship out earlier than the ones that still have to be made?Also curious about this :]
Whoops lol, I missed that...IDK how.

You can't even have WoB dye sub (which most pbt are). He may have just been riding the hype that almost everyone experiences when they first start looking into keycaps. Something along the lines of pbt>abs and thickness makes keycaps godly.

Sigh. Thanks elton. If they haven't tested functionality then I really don't want to spring for the board only to find out something is wrong with the PCB. Guess I'm not getting one of these after all.
Okay, I asked TrueCustom if he could get a smaller box for single unit orders to reduce the weight under 2 kg for cheaper shipping and he has done it today. I'll start organizing everything tonight for invoice over the next few days.Awesome! Thanks for the updates and getting us reduced shipping elton.
If you order 1 unit, we will use .56 kg packaging weight and 2 units and more will be .69 kg.
There are 40 vipers and 31 eagles available immediately. They just need to produce PCBs, plates, and anodizing the cases.
The rest will have to wait 2 months for the next round..

I got a very similar effect with mine: I'm using blank cherry POM, which is very opaque. The light bounces off the nice stainless steel plate and gets that effect. I suspect it's just the fact that none of it can shine through the thick cherry keycaps he has on there.How does Duck get this uniform glow in his Eagle and Light Pad?

+1 I would also like to know. I suspect it's shining onto the red PCB and the camera exposure enhances the effect.

shouldn't be that hard, especially when Duck use SS plate, which is support backlit lighting better than alu one.

Oh Crap....I've sent them in CAD and not USD...please do not pay..I'm going to change the invoice...I'm going to refund you minho...
Sorry about that. I'll refund those who paid...
Paid! Breaking the bank but I'm so excited! I missed the memo on the first/second round thing. What's up with that?
Haven't found an invoice yet :c
There are 2 Eagles still available for the first round. Do the 2nd round viper orders want to be invoiced now or later?

What kind of keycaps is that? I have thick IMSTO PBT, and the back lighting on my NerD TKL can shine through the keycaps...
Awesome so that means I'm in the first round for the eagle?
Paid! Breaking the bank but I'm so excited! I missed the memo on the first/second round thing. What's up with that?
Duck pre-produced, means there are around 40 Vipers and 30 Eagles available immediately. The people that came too late have to wait until they produce more.

Okay, thanks for the clarification! I'm glad I got in on the first run. Hopefully it won't take too long for there to be more for the second run.
Let's do Aug 18 for the payment deadline.
I have never really lusted for either a Korean board, or anything smaller then a fullsize... but the Viper really makes me reconsider both of those things.
Will pay when I'm back at a computer. Thanks Elton!!

Just wondering, why are shipping costs different for some people who are in the US?
(ex. there's an order listed with $35.50 shipping and one 1 Viper, and most other orders with one keyboard is $55.00 shipping). I thought the entire US is one zone with shipping from Korea? :confused:

Because possibly that person and another person are having two Vipers shipped to the same US address, and split the $71 shipping cost between their orders. Just guessing. :D

What I want to know is why shipping to Canada is $22 cheaper than shipping to USA. It's the same damned continent! Why are Canada and USA in the same zone (zone 3) for letters but not packages? I suspect Korea is just sticking it to 'Murica because reasons.

2KG item via EMS to USA vs Canada is a ₩7500 difference. ~$7.5
4KG item via EMS to USA vs Canada is a ₩10500 difference. ~$10.5
Besides, Canadians are always paying "Int'l" postage rates from USA. Give us a break. :p
And as Xenderwind said, items entering USA under $200USD are exempt from taxes, whereas items entering Canada under $20CAD are exempt from taxes...
You are right James. Doh! I guess I read Zone 2 quote thinking it was zone 3.

I doubt invoices are automated so you have to wait for elton. I think it looks like you could split your order (and pay shipping twice of course) and get an eagle from first batch (premade, need annodizing+plate+pcb made) and a viper from the second batch (I believe elton said ~2 months). Otherwise you will probably be waiting for the 2nd batch before your order is shipped.
Paid :p

Can i put a Poker 2 in this case?
Paid. Excited! My first custom keyboard, lookin to do it myself with ZERO experience!
Just wondering, where can I get those caps on the pictures?Which picture? There are a lot of different sets, but they mostly consist of cherry doubleshots from old cherry keyboards.

Which picture? There are a lot of different sets, but they mostly consist of cherry doubleshots from old cherry keyboards.Like this one: http://cfile24.uf.tistory.com/image/230ABB3752E50B933FB432
Those are most likely GMK keycaps like those http://www.kbdmod.co.kr/product/detail.html?product_no=16&cate_no=12&display_group=1 (http://www.kbdmod.co.kr/product/detail.html?product_no=16&cate_no=12&display_group=1) which are basically the same as from old Cherry keyboards. There are replicas made by BSP and Imsto. If you keep your eyes open you may find someone who wants to sell a set of original Cherry doubleshots or Imsto sets on the classifieds.
That's not the problem. I buy the set and put in the case what I want. The question is, does it fit other pcb's like a poker 2.Can i put a Poker 2 in this case?
You can't buy the case separately, it comes in a set with PCB and stainless steel plate. But in answer to your question, you won't be able to put a poker 2 in the viper case as the bottom corners are solid. I'm not sure about the eagle though.

I couldn't find any images of the Eagle case without a PCB in it to see where the standoffs are located. So no way to know for sure, until someone has one in hand.There are images available when elton showed that they were produced about to go to koreans round 1. I got into a discussion with something similar with someone before. At the very least the hole's in the pcb of the eagle did not match up with the holes on the pcb(or maybe it was the case) of sprit's stuff so I don't think it would work. Check the last couple pages of the IC thread and you should find it (I'd do it but I gotta go to a dentist appointment in ~4mins).
A better question would be: why would you want to? I realize that when you buy something, it's yours to do with as you please. But why would you want to put a stock keyboard like the Poker 2 in the Eagle case, when you could just have an Eagle??

Just put an order in for the Eagle (hopefully it's round 1 still). It'll be my first time putting one of these together - are the keycaps compatible with a Poker II?Most likely round 2

well since these things are pretty rare might as well get one. I ordered a GON nerd 60 which I think is the eagle layout. If i order the viper layout will i be missing some functions such as backspace?
I believe the August 18 deadline is for Round 1 buyers only. Correct me if I'm wrong. There will probably be a separate, later deadline for Round 2.
Edit: Either way he'll take your money I'm sure :D
take my money ;DGoing to have to wait for elton to get off work :p.
ahhhh at first I was like.."where's the backspace?" but thanks for clarifyingIt's based off the HHKB layout where most people use the dip switches to make the "\" key a backspace.
Excuse my impatience, but are there already estimations on when round 1 is going to ship?
Excuse my impatience, but are there already estimations on when round 1 is going to ship?
I would expect at least 4-6 weeks from elton's published invoice date. Just a guess, but these aren't all ready to ship. They still need to have the plates and cases made / anodized.
I thought the round 1 cases were already produced but not anodized?
Just ordered a Viper Blue-gray. Looking forward to my very first GB purchase from Geek Hack not to mention my very first project ever!!! ^_^
GL TO BOTH OF US PAOBIT!!!
Btw is there a way for me to find out if I have successfully ordered my kit? I'm unfamilliar with the ordering method here, I've only really used shopping cart and checkout form. I went to this site [ https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1iUvy4ss_EFClrfKXiSZ1Gyu3Iqtpa_DuChbowyzOKTo/viewform ] then filled in my info and left the eagle part blank and then selected the viper i wanted. Did I do it correctly?
I can't wait! :)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/FuOjZFN.jpg)

//OT: anyone know how to change country address in Paypal? I want to edit my shipping address but they dont allow me to change the country :(
I think you'll need to make a new account. :( Or you can try to contact PayPal by phone...Just be prepared to provide a bunch of documents. :-\
I submitted an order a day or two ago and its not shown up on the spreadsheet, did I miss it? :(
I can't wait! :)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/FuOjZFN.jpg)
Care to share where you source it?
Where did you purchase those from rewind? Oh well I'm glad I was at least able to put my order in. Are these boards pretty rare?
maybe a dumb question but what springs are a good weight for the viper? Or what's the general weight people usually get here? There are extra orders for the gold springs from sprit and might as well get some there.
Updated everything needed for now. If I missed anything, let me know..
I suppose the 2nd batch can pay later. I'd say 2 weeks after the 1st batch's deadline. After the deadline, there can be NO changes to your order. This is because they need to anodize the cases and the colours will be set once they start. Address can be changed of course.

Give it time, there's a chance Elton just hasn't had a chance to update the spreadsheet yet as he does it manually.
Once I get this, I just need to find a keyset that matches that black casing.
Personally, I believe any color matches black and white. Hehe I say just pick a set and you're good.
Makes sense, case alone already costs over 100usd for a good quality one on other sites. What do you mean customizations on firmware?
kind of like whata poker ii has?
So basically its a more advanced version since any key can be anything.
What do you mean SMD LED? Every time i find out more about this keyboard I get more and more exited lol

Don't have any extra sets so I'm currently on a hunt for a nice one :o
SMD - Surface mount device. Any SMD component usually is available in many sizes typically referred to as packages. Gon sells the package size 1206 SMD LEDs which are fairly large when it comes to surface mount components. So if the package size is the same on the side LEDs for the Viper/Eagle you're golden. Otherwise you can always buy any package size SMD LED from mouser or digikey.

Stickers, lube and switch covers are from techkeys
Springs from SPRiT group buy
Switches from MK.com
Hmm, does the Eagle need a 6.25u spacebar?I believe it supports 6.25 and 7 unit.
Hmm anyone in the socal area want to build together? I'll need the help/guidance... Lunch will be on me.Won't have time to build together but will be glad to answer any questions you have about building. :)

Did you get the thin or thick lube?
I really have no idea what to use on mx clear. Some say it should be thick but I am planning only to lube the slider, not the leg.
Ugh I think I need one of these
Before I pull the trigger I've got some questions because I'm a total MX noob, I'm sure a lot of these have been answered already so I apologize in advance:
What PBT keycap sets come with a short right shift so I could replicate a HHKB layout?
Is this (http://www.gonskeyboardworks.com/stabilizers/18-pcb-mount-stabilizers-tkl.html) stab kit sufficient for the Viper?
Any pics of the red anodization?

The keycaps can be found on old cherry 1800 boards, or tsangan kits.
The stabs are fine. You'll have to decide if you want a 7x spacebar or standard size.
I think you can see an example of red anodization on one of the other boards, orion or kingsaver, not sure.

not sure since it only says wisconsin =) Milwaukee is quite far too but hey, it seems there are many people willing to help out anyways. Btw when soldering everything together, I'm thinking of using a lead free solder since I have a baby and I get paranoid about the lead part.
Will it make much of a difference or would you guys still recommend a solder with lead in it? What size of solder should I use if I use one that has no lead?
I sent you a friend request :P
Definately won't mind driving there and building together

I hope there's a live streaming for the meetup build. Would love to watch the build process.
Oh hey! I'm in the Fox Cities! :D Let's do this. Synjin, shoot me a PM if you want to meet up for a build. :thumb:
I spent all day Saturday making these. 62g ergo clears lubed with blue stickers and sip sockets so I can hot swap LEDs on a whim.
What are sip pockets? What kind of lube did you use? Would I be able to do what you did with a regular cherry clear switch and some 62g springs? Sorry for all the questions.
Does the color from anodizing scratch of overtime including on the black case? I was curious because if it does, I will switchmy blue-gray to a plain silver instead.

hey elton,
I have submitted the form yesterday.
Could you send me the invoice as soon as possible ? :thumb:
Nice work! I also ordered brown switches today to make some 60g browns. Not sure if I should add SIP sockets though. I usually don't swap LEDs but I guess it can't hurt.Thanks, Fnzzy! I think you'll be happy in the long run if you add the sip sockets. Otherwise, you would have to desolder the led just to open the switch again. Not that anyone plans on opening the switch again after its mounted and soldered but if you have to its convenient. As for making the sip fit in the switch it took some filing down of the plastic edges which was the least favorite part of assembling the switches for sure.

I know a lot of people do that, but then they just jangle around in the switch until they are soldered. I'm sure that would work too, but I decided to keep the plastic housing so they would be aligned without having to be soldered into the PCB first.

Yeah, I haven't gotten to that yet. I'll change your invoice and refund the difference to those involved.Did you ever get around to fixing the invoices of those who were misscharged shipping? I'd hate to see you lose money by organizing this GB.
I got e-mailed to say that my invoice for this was cancelled, but didn't get sent the invoice when it was issued. How weird. If there's a second batch going ahead, how can I get in?
Thanks.
Sometimes Paypal fails to send the email notifications, but if you go to your Paypal account, it will show up in your activity.
You just got me even more exited ^_^ Btw does the viper and eagle already come with the side led? if not, what are the appropriate led that we can use for these?
Saw that too but they were unsure I think. Doesn't hurt to ask Elton himself
Info:
Full keymapping
Supports MX and ALPs switches
Full LED and side LED compatible. Side LED is red by default (on PCB)
Switches and stabilizers not included (MX requires Cherry PCB Stabilizers)
Acrylic accessories not included and not for sale.

And the truth shall set me free. Btw I was from the Philippines as well
BTW, there won't be any 2nd batches since there aren't much leftover from the main batch. They are making enough and will be finished next week. They will all be shipped together.Wait, does this mean that there won't be a second round?
Also, the timeline they gave me for their shipping time is around mid September.
There aren't enough orders for 2nd round, so if you want one order now and pay quick! ;)

I would need to order and pay even though a Round 2 is not guaranteed? :\

I guess I wasn't clear enough. There won't be a round 2, but if you put your order in, it'll be in this round as they made more than what I posted earlier.

@ceflame : It will be my first time building a keyboard as well but I'm getting some guidance from Hoff since he lives close by (1hr away)
I would suggest using PCB mounted switches as it was the same ones recommended to me by others who answered the same inquiry I had a while back. PCB mounted switches are also simpler from what I've heard. You can always get SIP sockets on your PCB mount switches in order to swap out LED without having to re solder anything

This is going to be my first time building a keyboard, and I'm confused as to whether I should use PCB or plate-mounted switches.
I saw from a previous post that either could be used, but is it just up to personal preference or would one be more ideal to use?

Why would you use PCB mount switches for this board when it comes with a plate? Are the switches not mounted on the plate?

The only difference between PCB and plate mounted switches is PCB mount has 2 pins on the bottom that go on the pcb. Duck boards usually have holes for the pins to go in, so you can use either.

IF the PCB has holes for PCB mounted switches many people like to use them even if a plate is provided just for the added stability and if you have PCB mount switches and don't want to cut the little legs off.
Also not really sure what the one poster meant you can use the SIP sockets regardless if the switch is pcb or plate mount so long as the pcb supports led's.

are these individual mx switches compatible with the duck viper?Yup, those are what I'm using in my Light Pad, and they'll be in my Viper too.

Alright, I guess I'll just go with PCB mounted switches since I can use either, and convert later if needed.
Now everything's cleared up and I just have to wait for everything to come in and hope I don't make a huge mistake soldering for my first time.

Even experienced people had to start soldering at some point. When I first started I did make my fair share of mistakes that were difficult to fix.
Some of the little tricks you can pick up off watching youtube tutorials or reading, but others that are technique take practice to improve. If I were
you, I would get some type of junk electronics and tinker. Try to desolder and resolder something and see that you can make the solder joints
as clean as possible. It would be a real shame to accidentally make an unrecoverable mistake on your eagle/viper PCB when it is such an investment.
Does anyone know if the diodes are already soldered on the PCB or if we are expected to do that ourselves?
In the initial description of what is included, it states the PCB is pre-soldered, but I'm not sure if that is specifically speaking about
the other surface mount components.

How about the resistor for LEDs?
If you go back a few pages, Elton gives an ETA. Seem to remember about the end of September or so....
Also, the timeline they gave me for their shipping time is around mid September.
Is there an ETA? Not trying to rush, I'd just like to know when to get excited about its arrival. :D

Here's an interesting video I found for those who are in this GB:
Sounds quite different! Part of it is probably due to LED vs no LED.
Spring weight shouldn't make a difference when he bottoms out like in the video.

This was my video, the Kmac is 59g clear and the Eagle is from my friend, assembled with 62g clear, I just did a quick comparison. The different in sound firstly come from the lubing, the kmac and the eagle were lubed by different ppl as u can see in this video that i press the switches only, the sounds are totally differnt.
Secondly, the eagle was assembled with 2x3x4mm led. If u put on the GMK keycap, it scratch the inside of the keycap and it will make keycap can't be bottom out, it acts likes an unexpected O-ring lol, however it works well with SP keycap. My advice is assembled with 1.8mm led.
I personally dont think the springs can create the different in sound that much ^^
Best regards.

This is probably why I didn't like the clears on my Orion. It was assembled with the square leds and the switches felt scratchy as hell to me : /

Unless I missed something, they're not supplying an Alps plate either. Can Matias switches be PCB mounted?
I guess they didn't wanna shoulder the costs of manufacturing the alps plates, when most people were gonna be using mx switches.
I have the drawing for the alps plate if anyone wants.
Yeah, I'll run some if other folks are interested!!!I have the drawing for the alps plate if anyone wants.
Yeah, post 'em up in the OP?
Maybe I'm vastly underestimating the amount of people that grabbed this thing for Alps compatibility.
I have the drawing for the alps plate if anyone wants.
****. *Now* everyone offer to make plates :( :( :(What could the Captain possibly need plates of...
Alps plate please ^^. Would be my first alps board.
wel I'll shoot Shawn an email and see what we can doI have both the eagle and viper ordered but It would be awesome of I could get an alps plate as well =)
wel I'll shoot Shawn an email and see what we can do
wel I'll shoot Shawn an email and see what we can do
Does anyone know where I could buy some stabilizers? Ivans gb is over and gons shipping is kind of expensive. Thanks in advanceI'm fairly sure some vendors have picked up some stabs from ivan's buy. Keep your eyes open :)

Outside of sending files to Shawn and mailing out plates... Ok, I need a P.R. person... Who wants it?
You would be responsible for everything BUT pick up, packing and mailing... :confused:
P.S. Your first job is making the IC!
How about the side acrylic? Does someone know where we can source that?

Not going to take another month or 2 for sure. Most likely end of September. The longest part and hardest part for them is doing the custom forms for shipment. Since there are over 70 orders, it will take them some time, but if it is going to be later than the end of the month, I'd say a week later than that..
lol anyone whos gotten someone to assemble their keyboard for them..how long does it usually take to assemble a keyboard? Since I have no experience, I was able to get someone to assemble it for me through "artisan services." anyone doing the same thing?

I guess it depends on the person. Assembling a board doesn't take too long, an hour - 2 at most. I had a board assembled by WFD and it took me 4 months to get my keyboard...never again and since then I learned to do it myself lol

To be fair, WFD dropped off the face of the earth for the most part, and experience with him does not reflect the experience you'll have with other builders...he's a terrible example of what to expect.
I'm getting mine built by tjcaustin, and he also built my Duck Light Pad.
Great communication, fast assembly, and even faster shipping.
Totally recommend if you're 'Murican.

Getting mine done by dorkvader. It'll be my first time dealing with him or in general that has anything to do with assembling keyboards. Very prompt with replies and stayed on top of things in terms of answering questions/parts compatibility =)

Is there any way/place to get just the viper case? Built in hhkb blockers!
If anyone still wants one can order.

Yes, fill in the order form. You guys will be on the 2nd batch and will be shipped 2-3 weeks after the 1st batch that ordered earlier.Am I in the 1st or 2nd batch?
This won't affect anything
When would payment be due for the second batch Elton? thanks =)
.... I've discovered that I'd like one of everything. This could get expensive. Must... Not... Click... Button...just get one of each while you can
Are there any pictures of what the red viper looks like?
What are those keycaps on the red lightsaver? I would pull the plug and get the red viper right now if I knew what keycaps those are. They compliment the red perfectly.Are there any pictures of what the red viper looks like?
Not really, but there are several pictures of red Lightsavers or Duck Mini's. Pictures of a red Lightsaver can be found here http://www.originativeco.com/collections/keyboards/products/lightsaber

Fill up form if interested in the side inserts
These are the inserts we're talking about
http://duck0113.tistory.com/88
Shipping costs:
If you think shipping by padded envelope is safe enough and if it fits the req., then it will be like $3.5 to US and $6-7 to international. This will include the cost of padded envelope.

How many pairs will fit in the padded envelope?
Inserts look good. Is it true that the only way to attach them is with tape?Yup.
I forgot to mention that I would prefer you guys send me the payment for the acrylic side inserts via gift payment instead of me having to invoice you guys (over 50 right now).
I'll probably stop collecting after next weekend, so we can have this in our hands quicker.
Each set is $4 + whatever gift payment fee you would have to pay to send the money to me.
Make sure you make a note stating your username, name, etc on the comment so I know who you are
I think you guys who ordered from me before have my paypal email already. If you don't send me a PM.
EDIT: I FORGOT ABOUT THE SHIPPING...
I still don't know the exact amount yet..do you guys prefer to pay the shipping fee when I get them?
Ok, I can safely say these prices are right.. This is with the cheapest option with padded envelope. If you want a better shipping option, let me know. I'm going to add $0.75 per order for these to ship to me.
Canada: up to 6 sets - $3
US: up to 3 sets - $4.50
up to 6 sets - $6
International: up to 3 sets - $7
up to 6 sets - $11

I thought Paypal doesn't have a gift fee, only a pay for goods fee?
Are the 75% inserts the same size as Duck/Eagle, or will there be a separate order form for those acrylic inserts in the future?
So for USA 2 sets is it:
2 * $4 per set + $4.50 shipping + $.75 = $13.25
Correct?
I thought that with gifts, the buyer pays any fees ?
Paid for 2x insert sets....totally blanked though and forgot to include my username when I sent it. I was too busy making sure I sent the right amount :S. I'll send you a pm.
Just a heads up I am looking to take over an order (Eagle in black) if anyone is letting go of theirs, thanks!
Good idea, I've done that :)Just a heads up I am looking to take over an order (Eagle in black) if anyone is letting go of theirs, thanks!
Aren't orders still open? You should message Elton first.
Have you started invoicing for the inserts Elton? Even the Orion ones?
They are delayed a little. It is still in the packing process.. Sorry about that.I'm assuming late October then? Oh well at least it is still not that far away ^^
I have no idea why this thread was locked yesterday. I tried to unlock it but was restricted by admin.

Just paid for a set of inserts. There wasn't any mention of Paypal fees though, so elton please say if you received all the money from me (I put my forum username in the notes of the payment).
For once, I don't mind if the board is a bit delayed. I still need to find stabs and pick up switches. :'(

Got my switches from 7bit and Qwer.io has some stabs left (only 5 2x PCB).
what are stabs? i got my switches and stabilizers...would i need to buy stabs too?

I got some of those 2x3x4 LEDs from aliexpress and it took almost a month to arrive. Ebay took a week, both from China.how much was the price difference as well as color options?
Though I guess it really depends on who you're buying it from.

Does anyone know what the dimensions are for the Duck viper and eagle? I'm looking into buying a case/sleeve for my keyboards but I do not really know the dimensions.
so a 12 inch sleeve will fit these boards then?
Yeah but I think the Viper/Eagle is higher than a standard board.Does anyone know what the dimensions are for the Duck viper and eagle? I'm looking into buying a case/sleeve for my keyboards but I do not really know the dimensions.
Should be same size as most other 60% keyboards like poker and hhkb.
unfortunately amazon doesnt have the 12 fat grifiti available. They only have 14 and up

Um isn't the one I linked a 12?Yeah but I think the Viper/Eagle is higher than a standard board.Does anyone know what the dimensions are for the Duck viper and eagle? I'm looking into buying a case/sleeve for my keyboards but I do not really know the dimensions.
Should be same size as most other 60% keyboards like poker and hhkb.
Really? I thought they were almost exactly the same size as hhkb and cases are stretchy.
the amazon link you posted is a 12 but it's for slim keyboards
and the eagle and viper should be a little taller because of the angle that's built into the caseShow Image(http://cfile4.uf.tistory.com/image/2756AC4752C2EFA207682F)

all or just first wave?
Is it going to be 2 weeks from date of shipping before they arrive within the U.S.?
I have't gotten my switches and springs yet T_T Guess I better order them today ^_^
EMS shipping is real pretty much.
Great ^_^ That means my springs and PCB will be arriving sooner than I expected. Unfortunately I still need to purchase my switches T_T

Still deciding on weather I want clears or blues xD.
And mk.com is really good.

Pretty reasonable since the inserts were more recent. Is it safe to assume that our orders will be arriving on this week since it's through EMS and will the second batch will be sent in approximately 1-2 weeks from yesterday?
I thought I'd ask since I know that the question will eventually be asked by someone even if I was originally in the first batch of orders.
The 1st batch was sent out yesterday. I will update the tracking when I get them.

Yar. Those look like Peacock.
Ended up ****ing up pretty badly. I didn't realize that there was room on the PCB to do either 3 or 4 buttons on the bottom row and used the wrong holes(?) for the standard 4x 1.25. We didn't have anything to desolder it so I just threw on the arrow key so that there's enough clearance for the other 2 keys. I'll redo it when I remove the red side LED's. The casing is really nice in person. Definitely impressed with the build quality with the kit. Thanks again Elton.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/U8qxl3x.jpg)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/EuzNk2y.jpg)
If my Light Pad is anything to go by, these are gonna be pretty heavy.

Looks pretty clean. Any shots from the side? How heavy is the whole thing? Pretty good weight or is relatively light?
The packaging weighted 1.9KG. It's pretty heavy. The rubber feet they give you might be adding to the perceived weight. I can't see this thing moving at all on my desk.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/WR0nWd9.jpg)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/aJycKwb.jpg)

Just got my Eagle in this morning. Now I just gotta wait for my stabs to come in from Ivan's group buy. In the meantime I think I'm going to order some stickers and lube to mod my switches. That will take some time, but I want this to be perfect.
International tracking is mostly worthless it seems, but it was delivered this morning. I checked it out but didn't unwrap anything as I'm not ready to build. The case is sooo HEAVY. Me likey.
LA customs are taking forever to process... depression
I wish I could say the same but I need to wait a bit longer for mine :PSame.

Not my first MX but my first korean keyboard. I currently own a brown and a clear poker ii though for these, I will be going with green switches as well as ergo clears. I'm also doing varying switches depending on what buttons they are (Eg. Grey linear space bar)

Thanks for the answer, but I guess the dream is over for me.
Board is completely dead now, with a chain of events starting from putting in 3 LEDs the wrong way. Should have left it at that, with completely functional board missing 3 LEDs.
can't you just resolder it the right way? Its always better to try if you are unsure instead of assuming your board is deadHow are you guys screwing those tiny screws in? Can't find anything small enough to screw them in

Are you sure what you've done is not repairable? You should post all the steps here so the good folks here can provide some advice. At the least it will serve as a warning to others for what not to do.
Well, just as a warning, if you do winkeyless layout, the 3 keys on the bottom left (ctrl, win, alt) change orientation for LED, didn't notice that as I was just putting in all the LEDs. Just a result of me being careless and not double checking.Ouch, hope you get it figured out!
Ended up trying and failing to desolder the LED's with the worst possible desoldering pump, and ended up burning off the pads/traces due to frustration.
It actually did still work after those steps, but maybe it shorted after I cleaned it with alcohol or something? Not exactly sure, and currently I have no idea what to do with this. When it's plugged in, it says device is not recognized.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/ZZ0STyd.jpg)
That's unfortunate. I heard that the PCBs weren't very high quality and pads can lift easily when you desolder something.Where did you read that? I think the PCBs are of excellent quality and have never had any issue desoldering. They are better than KMAC for sure.

They're some of the most durable I've messed with. I soldered/desoldered my duck 7 times without issue.

I have my lightsaver currently programmed with the 02d keymapper. Which version are you using?
I heard there was a bug with the current one on duck's website, so I just downloaded the most recent looking one I could find from KBDlab.kr.
Firstly, it may help to read this:
http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=53942.0
If that doesn't help, please feel free to ask questions. it can be a little hard to figure out at first, but once you've got it, it's pretty good.
I am using v1.3.240 I think, but I also have 1.3.244 and 1.4.288
Note that the above is for the lightsaver, but I think they work with viper/eagle as well. If not 02d is sure to add support for them soon.

I too plan on changing it out. Does anyone know what size they are? 3528? 5050? Something different? Thanks
The Side LEDs are 3.5mm x 2.8mm in size (3528 or 1411 package size). If you are changing the side LEDs, please note the orientation of the original LEDs before removing them: it's not symmetric!
All LED resistors appear to be 470 Ohm variety.

Vipers arrived, mailman woke me up while I was still in bed -- didn't have tracking so I didn't know :p Was part of the second wave of R1.
Yeah, I know it was sent via EMS, just second wave of shipments didn't get their tracking info forwarded. So for those in the second wave of R1, expect to receive a box soon!
So I'm gonna need people to post more pictures, that I might soothe this impatience itch as I wait for mine.
I demand more build logs/pics of Vipers.
Glad to see that R1 is pretty much taken care of. Hopefully, this means that R2 is almost there.

^ I am in the same boat man, and I ordered a few keyboards from him so it could be years before I get my springs and can actually build this board :(

Mine was £24, which is usually what this kinda thing is when it gets hit with customs, that's a VAT charge and about 80% or so of that fee is Parcelforce taking a cut for "paying the VAT for me", robbing *******'s! Usually things from Asia I never get hit with customs, it's generally the US, but you get unlucky now and then I suppose :D
funny Duck wrote on the shipping box that the packages valued $60 but still they get me to show them the invoice (which was a paypal invoice for $2xx), guess I have to be smarter next times :))
now waiting for lube and springs seeing everyone gets their boards done sucks :(
Question for those who already recieved their Viper kit, can you install LEDs left and right to the spacebar? I think the Lightsaver had that option.As far as I can tell you can only place a LED in the middle of the spacebar (where the switch is). Please note that I'm a complete noob at electronics so I'll add some pictures so you can check it out yourself. ;)

Since we all like pictures so much I figured I would take some of my Viper, sorrounded by various things that I am going to use to build it as soon as my stabilizers and springs arrive. The plate has one minor imperfection which is a tiny scratch at the left side of the spacebar, I don't mind it though. Once it is built I will never see it again :)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/6uOtotp.jpg)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/iX3VMnq.jpg)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/r8bYOJm.jpg)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/371ENob.jpg)

Thanks. How are you flashing the firmware? I tried using Atmel Flip like on a KMAC but I get "atlibdfuusb.dll not found" and "could not load dynamic library" when I try to find the Viper using "USB" option.you probably haven't update the driver for the viper i think.

open device manager > find the particular usb device with "!" > browse atmel folder driver to install it.
something similar like flashing kmac firmware as well if u are using flip method.
the other method is using dfu_programmer folder & files provided by 02D if u doesn't have atmel flip installed on your pc.
same holding capslock when connecting the viper, then install driver (skip this part if u already done it before), use the 02D keymapper upload firmware and select the .hex file u mapped.
black window will pop out stating the firmware is uploading to your viper and wait a few sec press any key to proceed, done.
I'm assuming you did not use your plate on that board?Correct, everything is PCB mount on mine.
Thanks Ivan & elton!

Are you removing the slashes from the file name?
Not sure why it doesn't default to hyphens.
If you have any other issues, take a look at the LightSaver GB threadAre you removing the slashes from the file name?
Not sure why it doesn't default to hyphens.
Removing the date with the slashes did the trick. I'm also a big dummy. Thanks!
Not sure if this has been addressed before, what should I be looking at for replacing the side LED's?

"The Side LEDs are 3.5mm x 2.8mm in size (3528 or 1411 package size). If you are changing the side LEDs, please note the orientation of the original LEDs before removing them: it's not symmetric!
All LED resistors appear to be 470 Ohm variety." -elton
Does anyone know of an alternate way to get at these things? I'd really like to have a HHKB layout with MX switches.

Heads up, for anyone with a Viper:
In the keymapping software, you have to leave the space directly to the right of the space bar blank, in in order for the bottom right mods to map correctly.
Otherwise, the software confuses your keyboard for an Eagle, and throws everything off.
So your bottom row should be [blank] L Key, L Key, Space [blank] R Key, R Key [blank]
Or maybe it's just mine ;)
Sorry they haven't shipped your order yet; Hoff, sniper and one other's. I think they will ship next week along with the 2nd batch..

Any viper dressed with SA key caps yet?
Probably a dumb question but where are you guys getting your side LED's from? I looked around and found a lot of places selling strips but not the individual ones, at least, not in the color I want. :confused:
I have the same problem. I live in germany and I can't find a shop that sells single LEDs in that size. Only mouser carries 3 colors that I don't want. Dark red, yellow and yellow-green.

Would anyone happen to know the default control or caps lock key on the viper? I used autohotkey to rebind capslock to control, but now I don't have a capslock anymore. Not the most crucial thing, but it would be nice if there was a way to easily rebind fn+tab to caps lock, especially considering default HHKB fn layer is there already. (I tried out that software on Duck's website, but it was quite confusing, and I'm not sure a caps lock key is worth that much time to me :p )
here it is

Has anyone had issues programming the arrows on the viper/eagle? In the 02D Firmware they show as question marks and when I mapped those they displayed as empty.Change your locale to Korean.

You need to change your locale to Korean. You can use AppLocale (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=13209) to open 02D with Korean language locale without having to restart every time you want to change something.
After a full day of assembly, here is my Viper. I decided to use 65g lubed and stickered Mx blacks with the exception of the spacebar which is a 75g grey.

I am finally done! I certainly did not expect it to be THIS solid :eek: What a great board that is.
Clears for the alphas and numbers, blacks for the mods, blue for escape and a linear grey for the spacebar. Everything is 62g, lubed and stickered. The layout is very different for me, even though I did not use the split backspace and short right shift. Coming from ISO this was already different enough for me ;D I will install LEDs later when the 2x3x4 group buy finishes. I also did not replace the side LEDs yet because I don't feel confident enough yet. I will most likely go for a blue / teal mix. I will see how it will work out.

Does TMK support the Eagle/Viper?
I might give it a try myself.

TMK can do a hell of a lot more than 02d's firmware. Currently TMK doesn't support Eagle/Viper though.

But this is just one of those things that should be easy to bind in a programmable keyboard.TMK can do a hell of a lot more than 02d's firmware. Currently TMK doesn't support Eagle/Viper though.
Define "doesn't support"...
I'm pretty sure you just need to write/edit some keymap or pin matrix files for it?
In the TMK thread and on the GitHub I asked about it, they said I should get a multimeter and build my own support.
Seeing all these Vipers and Eagles being built is making me really want one :OThis. But hipefully sometime next year so my wallet can recover... just joined the Octagon drop and picked up a GON HHKB last week 0_0

for those of you who've used red LEDs as your main LED (not the default red ones below the PCB), do you have to add a resistor or something? Does it work normally if you just solder the red LEDs in?Are you talking about red led for switches?
Thanks! :D
Hmm is it still possible to lube the clear switches if I already assembled mine?

LOL might as well. Also when I'm trying to get a different keyboard layout..I don't see arrow key options on the 02D program? Or am I missing something?

Wow, Elton. That is some superb ****, son. :thumb:
As for the inserts..I'm still packing them. 2/3 is done. I'm thinking of dropping them off on Monday.Excellent! The Orion will finally be complete. ;)
Yeah they're the cyan LEDs from aliexpress. I wonder if I can replace the bottom side LEDs with these ones?
As for the inserts..I'm still packing them. 2/3 is done. I'm thinking of dropping them off on Monday.
So whenever I press any row 5 key, this viper that I'm working on completely spazzes out and the key logger shows it actuating all ctrl, alt, super, space and n and b keys in a huge, lag inducing stream. How do I make with the fix?Hmmm.

Check traces? Check solder? Did you change anything for the firmware?

Nope, no firmware changes. I've also reflowed all switches affected. The other vipers I've made so far work fine, traces I can see look fine, but I wasn't thinking to look before I put the plate on to check the top of the pcb.

To enter dfu mode, you have to hold caps lock while plugging in usb.yeah also dont forget to install the avr drivers after you first put it in bootmode or flip wont be able to find it. that tripped me up for a little bit.
LOL might as well. Also when I'm trying to get a different keyboard layout..I don't see arrow key options on the 02D program? Or am I missing something?
You need to change your locale to korean to see the arrows. You can use AppLocale (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=13209) to change locale just for the 02d.exe
Ok, flip sees keyboard and that's fine, I can get it in bootloader, but the o2d keymapper isn't saving the hex file I create now. It says run time error '76' path not foundRename it to something else.

That's not a hardware issue. Just create a new text file and save as viper.hex then save over that file in o2d keymapper. The software has issues creating new files.

I did that, I was able to reflash the firmware fine. Same issues, though.
Are all the diodes soldered the right way?
Something I just noticed, the caps LED is blinking what seems to be an error code and won't turn on solid when I press the caps lock
Could 2 quick flashes mean a specific fault? If so, what?

The capslock led blinks indicate the layer you are currently on. One blink for layer one, two blinks for layer two etc.
So it would seem you are currently stuck on layer two. Try using mfn(3) + 1 to get back to layer 1. ie quickly press mfn three times, holding it down the third time and pressing the number 1.
So um... those of you with Cherry profile caps (BSP or GMK) where are you getting 7u spacebars?
IMSTO is the only place I can find one (and they cost a boatload for shipping 5 dollars for the spacebar and 10 for shipping)

Wow man looks good!Margon assembled mine but they seem like regular red leds. It's the stainless plate with the clear tops that causes this "fire/lava" effect on camera. It is a little bit more reddish IRL.

I think you're missing the point. You made a comment about wanting a short right shift, so demik said 1800 layouts have short right shifts. Then you said that you have a laser printed 1800 set and you don't like it. That's irrelevant. If you don't want lasered caps, don't buy lasered caps.

The Orion, LS1, and LS2/Octagon inserts are all longer than the Viper/Eagle one due to the extra rows.
LS2 is compatible with Octagon, Viper with Eagle, LS1 by itself and Orion by itself. Not sure about the Light Pad though.

looks awesome. did you switch the last 2 keys in the upper right? i had to use a joker key to replace the "|\" key on mine.
Just wondering, but does anyone use SA profile on their eagles or vipers?
So I finally got around to assembling my Eagle today! But when I plug it in and hit any key, I get spammed with unending capital letters and have to restart my computer to get it to stop. Is this a software issue or did I royally screw something up on the PCB? Any help would be much appreciated, this is my first build and I'm not sure what I am doing.

Long-shot question just because I haven't seen it addressed elsewhere:
Are you using the screw-in stabilizers from Ivan's recent buy? I used those on a Viper I built up, and they shorted something out on the PCB and caused issues like you're describing.
If you aren't using those stabilizers, it still could be a short somewhere. Have you double-checked all the solder joints to ensure you haven't bridged anything?

Ahh, well then - that might just be the problem. :) And nope, the board will be fine! It just won't work when those screws are in the PCB, for whatever reason.
Test to make sure it's the screw-in stabilizers. Take them all out and see if the board functions properly. It should be one of the shift stabilizers that is the culprit, assuming this is the same issue that I saw. If that does fix the issue, you'll need to use regular snap-in PCB-mount stabilizers (or plate-mount, if you're using the plate).
And Fnzzy is correct about what I meant by bridged connections - just make sure that each solder joint isn't reaching from one pad to another.

If the stabs are shorting due to touching the bottom of the case, you can just put some insulating material between it and the pcb. I'm using Ivan's screw in stabs in my Eagle and have none of the problems you describe.
How would you guys go about replacing the side LEDs? I never soldered something that small and I don't know what to use. I am afraid that I could melt the LED housing if I do hot air soldering but at the same time it feels like it is too small for regular soldering. :/ Any tips and tricks?

Anyone looking to sell their Viper or Eagle?What a pity! No one :( I am looking for too like you.
Anyone looking to sell their Viper or Eagle?I don't think anyone here is willing to sell it for your offer of $275 shipped considering it costs about that much to get it shipped to the participant of the GB. I would recommend the classifieds as that would be the first place a user would be posting or browsing through if they are looking to unload a viper/eagle.

Is there any large differences between a duck Poker and a Eagle?
Is there any large differences between a duck Poker and a Eagle?
I think the Eagle housing has a different angle and more lighting features.
Eagle is also re-programmable and allows you to customize the board anyway you want. And the metal case ofc.
EDIT: I guess you meant viper. Yeah the only difference between the two is the layout AFAIK. Just a matter of which you prefer.
I can pay 300$ + shipping for new Silver kit.
the two cases are worlds apart designwise, i doubt you can call that 'minimal differences'
I can pay 300$ + shipping for new Silver kit.
Does that include it fully assembled and everything?the two cases are worlds apart designwise, i doubt you can call that 'minimal differences'
I said minimally referring to the external differences numerically. I know the cases are different of course.

Thanks. Im having a problem with the 02d software. It displays the arrow keys as '?'. Is that normal? Also, if you don't mind sharing your hex file, that would help a lot for the mean time :). I'm assuming you are using same layout as the hhkb right?
PM your email address and I'll send it. It's standard hhkb.

you have to set the app locale for o2d to korean language. go to control panel> region and languages and set the language for non unicode programs to korean.

Any idea why my left control (which is on capslock, HHKB layout) continually blinks?
Any idea why my left control (which is on capslock, HHKB layout) continually blinks?
It flashes to indicate the layer you're on.
(I think)
How do I get the capslock to stop blinking?
Go to http://duck0113.tistory.com/84 (http://duck0113.tistory.com/84)
Scroll down to instructions section which is quite readable using google translate in chrome.
Go to section 2 part 4 (Called: "Layer the status indicator (LED) display method change" if using google translate)
Follow instructions.
Hope it helps ;)
edit: I think the mode you want is called LLN.

Elton is very busy at the moment with the Orion V2 GB and afterwards probably another Lightsaver round. So I'd guess even if there is enough demand the group buy still wont start before Q4 2015

Finger Crossed for an ISO compatible PCB for the ViperV2.

I think you can do that with a GON pcb.

I just got a built version of the eagle with the standard layout like the poker. Is there a function layer for this?
11 degreesThanks
Unfortunately, I joined GH after this group buy was already well on its way. I see there are talks of a Viper V2... that would be very exciting! I hope we see it this year sometime! :cool:agreed.... I had some car trouble and I couldn't do Orion v2 so I really hope there is another Duck GB that I like as I want to build my own Duck this year!
For those with experience in the duck Viper. How do I reprogram the keyboard?
I followed the instructions, installed the Atmel driver, downloaded flip and got Flip to recognize the keyboard.
My only problem is that I can't create the hex files through the custom keymapper.
When I make my layout and click save I get a constant invalid filepath error.

Not sure is this the same problem with my butterfly in the past. But try to rename the file first before saving. The default file name doesn't work for my butterfly, so this may be the same problem.
I love everything about this board except the key mapping software.
I keep hoping someone will add TMK support for it but no luck.
I'm wondering if there are any other PCB's that might fit this case (like Gon 60%).
Something that is already TMK supported.
That or get un lazy and work on the TMK support my self. (I have no idea how to figure out the matrix though)
Can someone help me out with the 02D software. I can't figure this thing out. The arrow keys are just question marks and the function layer is not working as programmed.

no idea :'( its probably something I did when desoldering the old switches. The only thing I can think of is that I ripped out the internal part of the pad by not removing all of the solder
Or just wait for leekus 75% pcb
That was a suggestion to phatdoodOr just wait for leekus 75% pcb
Say what? No, my Octagon PCB is fine, though picking up a spare 75% Leeku was something I had in mind if I wanted to swap layouts. I've heard word of a carbon fiber 75% plate down the line, so that's what I'd get it for. Screw desoldering the Octagon again.
My previous post was talking about repairing phatdood9's Viper PCB. :P
That was a suggestion to phatdood
If you think you can do it, I'd be glad to send it over.no. if you can't get it working, maybe email duck and see if you could buy one off of him.
BTW, is it possible to cut any board (leeku?) so it fits the viper case?

Screws: the 10 little screws you need to attach the plate to the case are size M2 in Torx T6 with a 0.4mm pitch (called "coarse" or "normal") and 5mm length.

Now, I can't deny that these are sexy boards. They definitely are, but the ideal I have with 60% boards is that they should be light and portable. Now obviously, that's just a personal thing for me, but it is a reason why I'm not so into the Viper and Eagles. They are way cool though and the pseudo HHKB look of the Viper is ace.I FREAKING LOVE the weight of my viper ! Thing is straight beast and can and will hurt someone !!!!
A lime green Viper would be sweet though. Slap some Dragonfruit on that if the IC ever turns into a GB, and :thumb: forever.

Finally getting to putting together my Eagle today!
Just one question: how do you layout the switches in the plate for 7x spacebar? Do you just skip the cutout between Ctrl and Alt? Does anyone have a pic of their board in this layout without the keycaps on?
Also, the only soldering required would be the switches for this PCB, correct?
Thanks in advance :D

Use the 'inner' holes for a 7u layout. For instance, left control has 2 ways to mount it, use the holes closest to the spacebar. The same way for modkeys on the rightside of the spacebar. Just pop in some switches and give it a try (without soldering). Also check the caps lock key, because you can mount it two ways as well.
If you don't use LEDs, the switches are the only parts that require soldering.

I'll do a dry run before soldering and post to see if it's correct
If I wanted to add LEDs to the switches, would I have to solder resistors or just the LEDs themselves?
Thanks again :D

My Viper PCB came with the resistors presoldered, the small parts marked with RXX on the PCB.
You can't really tell without a PCB, but I've circled the right holes for 7u layout (although this is the Viper PCB, the holes are the same. If you install switches in those places, you'll see where to put Ctrl).

I'm still looking to buy an eagle case if anyone is selling. I know it's unlikely, but always worth a try.
Not sure if I can wait for round 2 haha. Anyone looking to sell their unassembled kit please let me know :)
Requests to purchase after a group buy has shipped belong in Classifieds.I'm not debating this, totally reasonable, but it happens all the time. Will it be enforced across the board now?

Alright, thanks for the explanation. Sorry for bothering everyone subscribed to this thread.Requests to purchase after a group buy has shipped belong in Classifieds.I'm not debating this, totally reasonable, but it happens all the time. Will it be enforced across the board now?
I've made comments in every GB thread I've seen it in over the last few weeks. I will not be out policing looking for it (I don't do that anyway), but if I see it I make a point to say something. If you do see it, feel free to report it. In the grand scheme of things it's one of the lesser important rules (especially if the person is able to make a Classifieds post and therefore isn't trying to dodge that rule), but it's so easy to just give a reminder that I do make a point to do so.
There is issue in while I flash firmware.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/E7isxqt.jpg)
Please help me. Laptop can't detect viper :(
1) Default won't have arrow keys I believe. I mapped my arrow keys fn layer 1 to wasd and hjkl
2) LED controls. Forgot what it is in default but I did map mine to fn layer 2
Just received my Eagle today, plugged it in, and the LED turns on, all of them. How do I turn them off?
The LED on the caps lock is also blinking once.
I'm on a Mac right now, is there any way I can get access to the duck firmware program or is it windows only?

Unfortunately, I cannot help when it comes to Mac advice, as I've always used Windows. Maybe a virtual machine could allow you to flash the firmware.
The single blink on the Caps Lock LED means you are currently in layer one of the keyboard layout.
Depending on the previous owner, there might be an LED control key somewhere on the board, but finding it might be tricky if not impossible. LED control disables and enables the LEDs (Caps Lock LED is always on so it can show your layer selection).
I'm not sure if any of the 02D software runs on Mac.

I'm on my windows machine now and already downloaded the o2d software.
Can you guide me in maybe restoring it to default?

What is your keyboard layout like, a 7u bottom row and short right shift, or what?
In the 02D program, you should be able to select new > Duck Eagle/Viper and it should load the default layout. Be warned that the wrong firmware version can sometimes cause the flashing not to work properly, but don't worry, this can be easily fixed if so. There is no LED control by default from what I know. Just make a key in some other layer LED control, and then you will be able to disable the LEDs.

Correct. Short right shift and fn button next to it.
I see the option to choose new > o2d viper eagle custom 1.x. Loaded it then do firmware upload?
Then it says dfu programmer not found.
Seems like the stabilizer on the right side is detached!

Oh god, this nightmare. This is the one thing I seriously hate about Cherry stabilizers. Yes, you can work it back into the stab dummy and the retaining clip, but you need some pretty small curved tools and finesse to be able to do it without having to desolder any switches. I use wax carving tools for the job. As they're made from a pretty soft steel, they shouldn't scratch a stainless plate easily. Make sure you have the wire in the right position in the dummy or else you'll be kicking yourself. There are two slots in the dummy that a wire could potentially slip into. You want to aim for the bottom one.
http://www.pjtool.com/dental-pick-set-4pc.aspx This style works very well. If you have anything similar enough, it might work. Maybe tweezers with stout tips that are curved.
Just to clarify: Do you mean that the wire popped out of the retaining clip and dummy or do you mean that the stab insert popped out of the PCB? The method I mentioned was directed toward the former issue, but it can be used for both.

The wire popped out of the clip for sure. The wire is moving freely when I went in there using my tweezer.
Since duck0113 had post the viper version 2 design drawing for long time. Does any know any detail about group buy round 2?
As I konw there will be oactagon v2,light saver v3 and Orion v3. Sadly no viper v2 !

Unless Duck surprises us, it seems like they are not planned for the next year.
may I ask when there will be the next round GB?
will it happen this year?

Were you able to fix it? You can try to use a creditcard or something really thin to push the wire back into the socket.. wokrs everytime on my viper.

That's a shame. I'm sure I'm not the only person holding out for a quality HHKB-style MX board.

Duck is a single person and he can only handle so much. Why keep running the same boards when you can create new designs? There will most likely be a newer version eventually but he can only do one group buy at a time.
I'm hoping that he doesn't change the designs too much in the next versions .
I'm hoping that he doesn't change the designs too much in the next versions .
If he follows the same path as the others then he'll most likely just make it a two case design with options for the bottom case and add indicator lights.

yeah, I don't care about side LED's, or acrylic bottoms. I actually like the look of the Eagle case without the acrylic pieces.
And I hope there's no random holes for LED's in the aluminum body.

Yeah I honestly like it the way it is. I really liked my Orion v2 but there was just something about it that didn't make it feel as a special custom. I don't really know how to describe it though, Duck makes really good boards though.

Would the new price point still be in the 200-300 dollar range, or more in the 300-400 dollar range like the other duck customs. I need to start putting money away LOL
Quick question, anyone know what metal and the exact type the cases are made of?6061 IIRC
I am considering re-anodizing my case and I assume the shop will need to know.
Looks like the new versions are going to have random holes for LEDs :(

Interesting... 6.25 spacebar... not sure if how I feel about it lining up with the "," key above on the right.
Need my Octagon V2 to arrive and think about Viper V2...
I wonder if the new case will be a split affair with an angled acrylic option available.
Hope Duck tries something new.

I have a HHKB but I just love its layout instead of the switch.
Therefore, there are many guys trying to make a HHKB-layout mechanical keyboard.
HHKB is HHKB,
but HHKB layout is not only for HHKB, right?
Will there be an Eagle V2 to accompany the Viper V2? Far more interesting to me.

If the Viper V2 is the same price as the V1 I will definitely buy one. Fingers crossed that it's close.
Also, if there are more than 15 sets ordered, price will drop to $385.

So no new Viper or Eagle then? Is this the reveal?
As someone who's owned a Lightsaver for a long time (until recently), I actually really like this new design. A wall of keycaps with no separation can get a bit old--I like the aluminum dividers on the renders.
don't lose hope guys this is just a new keyboard that is probably going to go into rotation. He wanted to design his own unique layout which is why he filed a patent and copyright.

Can we get a thread going on for that board?
Anyone, plese tell me , does duck eagle is out of production ?
Im newbie, thank.
I'm trying to update my viper with new firmware but when I go to upload the firmware through the O2D software I get a message saying "Check Atmel USB Driver"
When I connect the board with the flip button down (caps lock) and go to device manager the viper shows up as a "ATm32U4DFU" under Universal Serial Bus devices
What do?
dfu-programmer atmega32u4 erase
dfu-programmer atmega32u4 flash your-file.hex

I update mine through dfu-programmer.
Hold the CapsLock button while plugging the keyboard in. The caps led will flash. Then run those commands:Code: [Select]dfu-programmer atmega32u4 erase
dfu-programmer atmega32u4 flash your-file.hex

Hey swimmingbird, hopefully I can help you out.
Just ignore the showing up as "ATm32U4DFU" and "Check Atmel USB Driver" errors you are getting now.
Have you tried using FLIP? Download here: http://www.atmel.com/tools/FLIP.aspx (http://www.atmel.com/tools/FLIP.aspx)
I use it to flash my Viper, as well as my HHKB running TMK.
Just plug in the Viper while holding down Caps Lock.
And follow the instructions at the very bottom of the page here: http://duck0113.tistory.com/84 (http://duck0113.tistory.com/84)
Duck gives you instructions on how to flash using FLIP software. (translate using chrome)
Make sure you select ATmega32U4 at the beginning or else it won't flash properly.

I know this was mentioned a while back, but does anyone know the dimensions of the screws that mount the plate/PCB to the case? I think they are torx t4, but I have no idea about the length, TPI or diameter.
I might be selling my duck eagle sometime soon. Thought maybe people here would be interested in it

hello seal.
I'm an antelope.
Anyone got a clue in what Duck is doing? Been a while since we saw an update from him and I'm still hoping for another round of the viper!He is probably still finalizing stuff to start the Blackbird GB. I'd actually love to see another Viper/Eagle/anything but Blackbird and Lightsaver GB before he starts with the Blackbird, since I'm not interested in the other ones and do not yet have the money for the Blackbird, which would then be delayed long enough for me to save up, haha.

With Duck's current design paradigm? I doubt that. That's his thing. Pinhole indicators and integrated diffusers define the current gen style.

If you're talking about in the direct center of the case, then yes, that space is typically meant for a weight insert.

So as i can see the price will be around 280$ or i'm mistaken?
Following this post very carefully now. Hope to get at least one of these :thumb:
I thought the viper V2 would be wireless version. Duck had posted a photograph last year on KBDLAB.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/NpfdmCo.jpg)
Is there any word on when this will be a thing here?Nope. Blackbird is still being done, I'd say December/January. :'(

Ahh, alright, thanks for the response! Hopefully I will be able to join this time around
A few questions:
So what is everyone's guess on the estimate price for these puppies? ~$250? Am trying to carve out a budget for it.
Also it seems many like Viper is it the symmetry? Would love to hear any opinions. Eagle looks great too but i guess Viper is more unique?

Just gotta say; just thinking about V2 gets me rock hard. Elton, PLS!
Only black and silver was available for the Korean GB though. Don't know if there's a chance for more color options for internationa GB :(
hahah ikr, seemed highly unlikely to happen. But I left a comment anyway so Elton could see it and maybe, just maybe...Only black and silver was available for the Korean GB though. Don't know if there's a chance for more color options for internationa GB :(
I'd guess it's going to be the same.

I want to be in the Korean gb wtf
I want to be in the Korean gb wtfKorean GB ended a month ago or so
So the GB will go only in Korea? :(
If anyone wants to sell their Viper v2 let me know.. :P
Any idea when next GB for this will be?Probably not for another year or longer as V2 is still in the works.
