Title: [GB] 75SQ (Acrylic 75% keyboard) [Refund]
Post by: leeku on Tue, 25 April 2017, 02:56:05

Failed!!

I am begging your understand for refund.
Following all the delay and broken promise more than one year I have to decide to full refund for all.

Even though all materials has been ready in Korea several since May it is not easy to ship indirectly by my friend's help.
I decided to ship all to me and I will think later. I left Korea recently.

I will send individual email to confirm paypal in this week then immediately refunded.
I apologize not being response recently.




Hi, I'm back with 75% version of SQ

Looks like CPSQ but 75% and no steel plate this time.
I think Acrylic is best option of this :)

There are two types of case one is normal bezel type and the other is VIKI type
Here is the pics,

Sincere sorry for all.
I had spent almost a month with tough work....
I would like to ask your understanding for a month delay.
I have a personal plan in September. So the 30 Aug is the deadline to shipping all.
Sorry again for delay and I will update as soon as I get the PCB factory out.
Thanks.


Sincere sorry for all.
I've been though another tough month.
I'm sorry to beg your understanding for another month delay.

I canceled personal trip to Europe on September as well because of killing workload.
So this GB is my 1'st priority now following my living job.
I'm ordering the PCB now and I'll update the progress every week or 10 days from now.

It seems bad luck to run this GB.
I really appreciate your patience.

Thanks.



18ht Oct. 2017
Apologize for huge delay for this GB.
It was definately not a good time to start GB.

First, I will receive produced SMTed PCB in mid next week. I asked my friend to receive. I will post the pictures.
Second, I would been US for business trim until 29 Oct.
Third, I will have time enough to handle this GB since I get back to Korea after this business trip.
I am not the heavy maker nor a scammer and this GB was mostly want you to try my layout of this PCB.

I can not say nothing about your nervous waiting but beg a month patience.
I promise all keyboards shpped in November.


Order Form:

Serendipity will help me in US for smooth process of this GB.
Thanks Serendipity .

Oh boy! Any chance to see what layouts are possible?

I only care because of wanting an ISO enter. Long left shift is fine by me. If it supports ISO enter than I'm selling my KBD75.

Is there any extra cost involved if I would like a "custom" layout? Let's say ISO with Detached F-row?

Looks to me as Bezel has, well, a bezel around the keys, while the other have the "plate" as the topmost layer ("floating keys").

And you do realize that changing the led orientation means redesigning the PCB?

I believe last GB outside of assembled orders completed in a little under 2 months (excluding extras).

Hopefully smooth sailing on this one too!

I think LED on north side makes GMK unusable (an feel a line touching the led) unless you sad it to the bare minimum, on the south side there is a similar problem but it is much less sanding. (using 2x3x4 led)

Looks nice!
May we please get a picture of the underside of the keyboard showing the whole thing?
If I wanted a 1.25 1.25 1.25 6.25 1 1 1 1 1 1 bottom row layout, I assume I would have to go with the "D. Custom" option on the form?

The two prototypes went to two other members on gh, I can ask them for more photos if needed.

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/uMXkS0HZvElqxhI4_pSLL6HwqboJlT5sQRR3Oku5W17o9YnkaPrvRr1OZ6T0Rzp-MFchoQ6dvw=w1200

Outside of this picture, the sides are curved in and the rest is as you can imagine, simple.

No the Custom layout I believe applies to the case itself, the PCB can fit that layout already

Post by: poolside on Wed, 26 April 2017, 16:57:07
Thanks, I was looking for a picture showing the entire keyboard foot. How is it attached to the bottom of the case? Can it be swapped for a pair of screw-in feet?
The custom option is located in section "2. Acrylic plates". Despite the PCB supporting many layouts, the plate could render some unusable.

Upon checking, I might be wrong about the custom layout (you might need to put in a special request as it is the plate that needs changing, And yes on the screw-in feet, previously you could add duck feet (aluminum long feet)

Not sure if I'm being dumb or if i cant see it, but the difference of the two top plates is whether the screws are visible right?

No it's the height VIKI has no bezel, the switches are completely visible, BEZEL just has a bezel so that you don't see the top of the switches

Yeah, the bezel just means the case is visible and I think (not sure) that there's one more plate so the "bezeled" case is high profile but VIKI are floating keys.

:) Duck feet are supported if you have any. But I don't have any Duck feet left. that's why I didn't mention about the the Duck feet.
And if you really want the other layout you will have with +$10. describe it on D. custom in the form.

Yeah, I don't quite like Noppo Choc Mini and the only reason I chose non-detached was because in one photo, I saw the Page Up and Page Down button on the top row. And I need Page Up/Down. But I suppose your PCB is highly configurable, so I could have them even in detached.

Can I still change? I will have to look at the photos a few times.

It looks little odd but it is worthy to try :)

PgUp/Dn is accessible only left hand. I'm using H/W macro with blue keys. It is quite good for memorize with initial character. like H to "hello world!" Y to "yap!!" like this..

 not individual key lighting, i meant the ability to change the in switch led brightness of ALL the keys. Right now they are either on or off but you cant dim them, so its either bright or nothing at all.

could you link the newest version of jigon here too please?

2) Yes, it's made for MX switches.

Hi Leeku. Is it possible to have 1.5/1/1.5 bottom row with split spacebar?

Edit; I've estimated what I could with pictures of the PCB and it looks like key spacing would be off with 1.5/1/1.5 alternate layout and split space; 2.5/1.5/2.25 spacebar seems possible, but 2.5 is too uncommon and creates other issues with spacing. If you'd like to confirm anything, it would be appreciated.

It's not possible even in PCB. Sorry.
Below is the possible combination PCB supports.

75% seems to be such a nice layout (this one especially), I'm really digging it. But they also seem to be quite hard to finde :/

Just checked in with him, PCB traces are done, but will need SMT/IC parts soldered on by the factory.
Should be a week, cases will be ordered as well (takes very little time in comparison).

The RGB underlighting should come presoldered. If you want per-switch LEDs you will have to solder those by yourself. I don't remember for stabs.

Perhaps he meant each switch can have an LED soldered. I own a different keyboard that uses this pcb and there aren't any special presoldered per switch LEDs. The Zeal60 is pretty unique in having that. On other keyboards you have to thread the led through the switch so there isn't a way to solder the LED on before you have the switch in.

Each switch can have an LED soldered in but they typically do not come pre-soldered. RGB LEDs for underglow come pre-soldered though.

I am worried mainly because I actually paid for the assembly services as well. While I understand that assembly takes time, I'd like some assurance, I guess. I don't know, more communication maybe. There's too many news of GB gone bad in GH and that made me nervous. Hope this is not the case. By August, we would have passed the 90 days window that Paypal gives.

There's always a risk.  You can go ahead and avail yourself of paypal to get communication and assurances, and pull out if you don't trust that, but beyond that, you pay your money, you take your chances.

You also have 180 days with Paypal, not 90.

We’re increasing the time for buyers to file a merchandise dispute (Item Not Received and Significantly Not as Described) from 45 days to 180 days.   All references in the User Agreement to “Opening a Dispute within 45 days” have been updated to reflect “Opening a Dispute within 180 days.” The Sections these changes appear include the Introduction, 3.15, 13.2 and 13.5.

So you have a little time before you have to make a decision.

I think there is a little worry, but then again leeku is pretty well known in the community, and has run GB's before. This doesn't mean it's guaranteed that you will get what he promised, but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt for a month and a half delay. Hopefully it comes sooner rather than latter

FWIW, I was also pretty antsy back in the CPSQ GB back in 2016 and desperately wanted updates. So I just emailed Leeku for updates on his gmail address and he was pretty prompt.

If you guys need updates, hit him up via email  :thumb:

First post still says Aug 15th, but deadline would be Aug 30th, so I assume that's the window in which boards are going to be shipped. Any chance we can get a confirmation on what the status of the order looks like? I think only the PCB's were supposed to be missing right?

looks like the schedule has been updated - and we're looking at getting weekly updates from Leeku.  I am guessing we won't be getting these shipped out by 30th of August if pcb's are only being ordered now, but I am still looking forward to this GB :D

Sincere sorry for all.
I've been though another tough month.
I'm sorry to beg your understanding for another month delay.

I canceled personal trip to Europe on September as well because of killing workload.
So this GB is my 1'st priority now following my living job.
I'm ordering the PCB now and I'll update the progress every week or 10 days from now.

It seems bad luck to run this GB.
I really appreciate your patience.

Thanks.

From the OP if people are just checking newer posts for updates.

given the original timeline of this GB a ~2 month delay is still pretty quick as far as keyboard groupbuys go. Hopefully everyone can understand that and be patient waiting for this board   :)

Leeku I hope you get some personal time in the future and thanks for devoting your already limited spare time to this :thumb:

He updated saying end of September so after that I will ask again. There is delays but understandable a buyer basically backed out making factory smt void but MOQ is being filled with another buy I believe.

I am worried mainly because I actually paid for the assembly services as well. While I understand that assembly takes time, I'd like some assurance, I guess. I don't know, more communication maybe. There's too many news of GB gone bad in GH and that made me nervous. Hope this is not the case. By August, we would have passed the 90 days window that Paypal gives.

There's always a risk.  You can go ahead and avail yourself of paypal to get communication and assurances, and pull out if you don't trust that, but beyond that, you pay your money, you take your chances.

You also have 180 days with Paypal, not 90.

I’m probably alone in this, as it seems other people are not voicing out. But I’d like to remind that by Nov, we would have reached the 180 day window given by PayPal. I think I’ll email Leeku today and give him till Oct 31, by then I will request for a refund coz I think 6 months is more than enough time to see result in a GB. I really like to have a 75SQ, but I don’t think I can wait any longer. Besides, it’s a great excuse to save money, lol

Edit: nooooo... I just checked. I made payments on 28 April and so the 180 day window is until 28 Oct - in just a couple of weeks. I really need to consider that options.

So, I emailed Leeku and he told me he will aim for 2nd week of Nov to ship out the parts and for assembled keyboards, it will be maybe end of Nov. He’s currently on work assignment in the US, so it is kinda difficult decisions to make honestly. Do you wait longer or do you ask for refund. And I also think it is better for him to drop a line or two here in GH, so there’s this.

Yeah, it's a bit concerning how long this has taken. I feel like Leeku's got a pretty good reputation within the community so it's unfortunate that this GB has been botched so much from a timing perspective, especially now that there is so much competition with things like KBD75 etc- but I wanted to see what all the fuss was about with Leeku boards.

I'll probably stay in because I believe in the process but I can't help but feel a bit disappointed overall.

Sure, timing is bad. But bad timing can be explained through communication in this thread. Spending a minute a week to update us should be something a GB leader should do, that's my opinion. Surely one can do that even through a mobile phone while in line for lunch?

Yeah, I mean I guess I should've stated that too. But to be honest it seems like 1% of people running group buys in the keyboard community are good with communication.

I work in R&D and while delays suck, as long as they're rather proactively communicated the negative perception of the delay is often mitigated because of that.

My suspicion is people usually don't like communicating in geekhack group buys because the reality is they dragged their feet or forgot to do something etc and communicating is "admitting" that, so they figure the better gamble is to try and fix it and brush it under the rug. Not saying that's the case here- just speaking in general.

I feel like anyone who has been involved with groupbuys here knows that these delays are almost expected. Leeku has a solid enough reputation that I'm pretty confident it will eventually be done and shipped. If you are the type of consumer who demands good service then in general, you shouldn't participate in these groupbuys. You are only fooling yourself and you're only going to get mad and complicate your life trying to get a refund or get someone to take your order.

From past experience I'd suggest getting a refund. This sounds the same as the reasons we were given for another group buy that took six months and no items were produced. Don't let it go past the 180 day window and just get your money back.

Apologize for huge delay for this GB.
It was definately not a good time to start GB.

First, I will receive produced SMTed PCB in mid next week. I asked my friend to receive. I will post the pictures.
Second, I would been US for business trim until 29 Oct.
Third, I will have time enough to handle this GB since I get back to Korea after this business trip.
I am not the heavy maker nor a scammer and this GB was mostly want you to try my layout of this PCB.

I can not say nothing about your nervous waiting but beg a month patience.
I promise all keyboards shpped in November.

Really depends on when during the GB you paid.  And if you're serious about disputing, you should try as soon as possible.  Sometimes they've done things past their period.

Hey leeku (& Serendipity)!
I sent you, leeku, a PM about the assembly. Let me know, if I should contact you via another way (mail, directly in here or wherever).
Still stoked for this!

Had a response from leeku on my PM 2 days ago where he said „It‘s almost done“.
Not too specific, but since he took the time to response, I‘m guessing that it‘s moving somewhat at least.

Sorry to hear, unfortunate as it is it happens quite often in group buys. I think communication helps alleviate some of the tension waiting for something far over schedule but sadly Leeku isn’t very active on here :(

"Happy new year.

Cases are still in factory.
Sorry for long delay..
I am doing my best you can get a best keyboard.

From previous emails I gather PCBs are done cases are just finishing up after their out of the holiday stretch. Hopefully we can all start off 2018 with a dank new keyboard and have this done in under a year  :eek:

To be clear: I didn‘t want to say in anyway that Leeku might have run with the money! I also couldn‘t imagine that he would update the op and so on, if this was his intend (tbh, you could easily scam people without that extra effort). I meant more that maybe something happened to the boards or whatever and thus he would not be able to deliver them. Also, I take it somewhat with humor, to be honest, since I find it a funny and slightly weird situation.. :)

I really didn‘t want to accuse him and stir up the situation!
Even tho I hardly know anything about leeku, after a few short interaction via PM, I really think he is a cool dude who is super nice and friendly.
In hindsight, the comment was not super smart and had the potential to just stir up people.

There are photos earlier in the thread (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=89127.msg2520068#msg2520068) of the parts, so I don't think it's vapor.

Leeku responds to emails well but its kind of the same answer every time, "busy with work, will send it out soon"

My previous post was deleted.  I will rephrase.

A person who doesn't fulfill their part of a deal and continuously makes excuses about what's happening is a liar. 

A person that takes money without providing the service they offered is a thief.

if action isn't taken against people like this, you are enabling and exploiting the people who trust you.

I would like a refund.

Yeah I think the thing I just can't understand is, if he has the time to reply to emails, why can't he update his thread? It'd take what, like 3 minutes at most just to type an update. It would put more people at ease if he addressed this stuff to everyone.

Personally I check/reply to emails more than geekhack because I don't have a mobile app for geekhack (I hate tapatalk), I'm not excusing his actions or sayings its ok it just seems like a fairly common thing for people to ghost their threads when stuff goes off schedule  :-[ . It's unfortunate too because of as you said just an update saying "sorry this is happening" goes a long way.

In light of recent events, I feel like I should put in to this as well.

The delays from this GB are mainly that he has been very busy in the past few months due to work, and he is moving to the USA at the end of May, no time for packing the keyboards until June most likely, but since I am in the area we should be able to get these out faster, or at least I will try helping out.

But this GB I believe has 50 members, and the main worry would be how many assembly orders are to be filled.

But if anything please wait a little longer until the end of May for a more thorough update.

I can't seem to edit my previous post, but you know an option is to just say to everyone, "Sorry, I can't assemble the boards anymore", refund the assembly fee, and ship out everything. Just be done with this project.

Some people will be mad, but I will not be one of them. I'll figure out how to assemble it myself.

Post by: schoolbus on Thu, 17 May 2018, 21:40:33
There really hasn't even been remotely close to a good reason why this has taken X months more than it was supposed to. I hope we all get our keyboards one day but at this point to say I'm disappointed is an understatement. I'm usually incredibly patient but we've seen "pictures."

At what point do you just sit down, quit screwing around, fulfill your "commitments", print out shipping labels and be done with it? If ~50 orders overall is true that emphasizes my point even more.

Since this thread has been posted KBDfans for example has basically teased, GB'd and sold multiple keyboards, keysets etc.

Sad.

If it is just shipping issues for those who ordered the PCB or the case, perhaps we can ask another Korean(s) for help. It's just packaging and shipping labels only, right?

For those who ordered an assembly of the keyboard, I guess waiting is the name of the game.

I personally think refunding assembly fee and just shipping out the parts should be the way. I know he is moving to USA or something according to the grapevine but just package and ship if there really are no problems otherwise. Refund the assembly fee and call it a day.

Moving to US or just a business trip? If moving to US, it will be not be a good news to this GB because I don't see him moving the cases and the PCB.

I thought it was moving to the US but I have no insider knowledge. I just thought that's what someone said in this thread I think. And I also thought the main concern he had was all the people who wanted it assembled and it sounded like he simply didn't have the time to do all the assembly for so many kbs.

So he replied to my email asking for an update guys..

This is what he said.

Quote
I quickly attached the keyboard part. It just came yesterday.
I asked my brother to ship as soon as possible.
You will receive in one or two weeks.
For assembly option and individual layout will take little longger because it is mooving by ship to US.
I will update on the thread as soon as I arrived in US.

And these are the pictures he sent (I compiled it into my imgur): https://imgur.com/a/cTy6Tka (https://imgur.com/a/cTy6Tka)

Leaves me a tad bit confused as to why the parts only came in "yesterday" and this whole time he has constantly told us that he would be shipping them out on or by X day...but well..

As long we get our keebs, I will be happy enough..

So lets hope for the best guys.

Dropped him another email since, no one got their stuff yet.

This is what he said:

I will pack this weekend.
I don’t have time but weekend.
Let me do the best effort.
Thanks :)


And then after I asked if we will get tracking information, this was his response:
Quote
Sure.I will.

Before I ship I will send every participant an email to confirm the address because it’s been tooooo way long from start
Thank you.

So I am still hoping I get the board in my hands...though I outgrew 75%s at this point, which is a shame...but still :p

Leeku sent me an email just an hour ago, out of the blue.

This was what he said in his email:

Quote
I am just sending this mail to notice that I will send all the address confirm mail in 24 hours.
I can't sleep by pressure of this.

And I will add individual refund options on that mail.
I thought I should 100% refund for the person who wants refund.
I will loose some money but it is not as much as your long waiting.

I still have 8-90 sets of produced though, I hope I can sell  rest of them later eventually.

So looks like it's gonna start shipping (hopefully) once he sends out the emails to everyone and gets replies in.

Can you pm me his email. I'll give it a go today or tomorrow and see if we can put more pressure to get this GB done. It's hard for me to believe he is "just too busy or too lazy" to finish it ... makes me think there is a bigger issue (manufacturing defects that he might not be telling us about).

He doesn't want people to wait any longer. Shipping them to the USA will take a long time. When they arrive he will wait till a better time to distribute. But he feels stressed holding on to people's money any longer while being unable to finish the buy.

Still nothing here either. Was ultimately not happy about waiting forever for this board but was still looking forward to it- thought it would go well with Laser.

oh well... hope we get our refunds someday.

wow. just checked in after a long hiatus. seems like things have unfortunately continued down the path of SNAFU. That's a super bummer because I really wanted this keeb.

on the other hand... CONGRATULATIONS to leeku on the move. At least I think congratulations are in order.

Life happens. I'll harbor no hard feelings until someone can prove that his intent was maleficent.

Still no email about refunds for me too.

Shame he chose to cancel it though, but I understand.

Cant imagine how much of a stress/chaos it would be to try to handle a GB while trying to settle after an international move.

agreed, he should've planned for all of this or been more proactive transparent earlier. I just really hope we end up getting our refunds.

I got my refund although it was not a full refund after PayPal took their percentage. So overall I lost about $10 =/. At least I got a refund I guess. Good luck with you guys. Please ask leeku to gift the refund to get the full amount.

Isn't there a refund option built into paypal? Though it may have expired by now...

I'm going to lose quite a bit either way due to changes in exchange rates since 12 months ago, I think

I have no idea as I've never had to give a refund as a seller. It is definitely too late for us to initiate the refund via paypal via the builtin refund mechanism because of the expired time limit.

I basically bugged him with a few emails. Be firm in asking for the full amount and give him a deadline. It seems he responds a lot better with personal emails. I definitely would have thought he could have gifted us the full refund amount as that's what I would have done.

The email used for invoicing is what you have used to contact him?

I think you can only gift with a us account, since you can't refund after PayPal protection period I believe. Nice to hear someone actually got a refund though! Hopefully it'll all get sorted out

Leeku must have paid me using buyer protection and NOT as a gift. So make sure you ask him to refund you via paypal gift to make sure paypal doesn't take their % of the cut.

I'm not going to bother asking for the full amount but for you guys emailing him (which I would recommend), please ask him to GIFT you the refund via paypal.

Good to hear, lac. Seems the only way to get him to do **** is be firm with him. I bet if I never sent him the email I did, we still wouldn't have an update. Time to send yet another email just straight up asking for my refund. Unfortunately one of those situations where being super nice won't get you any results, which sucks.

I was told by xondat that PayPal business accounts are unable to gift, and can only send via goods and services. Maybe that's why he can't gift?

I would assume most vendors have paypal business accounts and personal accounts? Perhaps it's not the best in terms of keeping tight business records, but they should just refund us the full amount via paypal gift via their personal accounts and take the extra effort to not make us suffer even more.

When you look back at the failure of this GB there are 2 possible conclusions:
1) Leeku did not inform us of some problems/setbacks and that's the root problem of this GB failure.
2) Leeku did not prioritize this GB among the things to do in his life and was simply too lazy (tired if you wanna be nice about it) to finish it .

Those are really the only two reasons I can think of and I am not happy with either reasons.

Yeah I agree that it should ideally come from their personal PayPal accounts, but once you're past PayPal progression period, ugh, I'm just happy to get most the money back.

Seems like he sent out emails to everyone regarding the refund?
