[GB] Fox Lab - Key 65

[Quasimodo]

The logo on the weight can only be seen if the keyboard is turned upside down right? (even if it is PC clear)

Yup, it's on the bottom.

[noodleman]

Is the PCB QMK ? And is the Hotswap pcb supporting SMD rgb led as in, can i solder them on myself?

Yes, QMK.
SMD LEDs are pre-soldered on hotswap PCBs. They are not RGB tho.

what colour are the per key lighting leds if they are not RGB?

I would assume just a white light?

I was wondering what you mean by not RGB. What colour will the LEDs be?

White

Super hyped to start my first build! Will the hotswap pcb work with 7u space bar + wk top plate?

Yes.

Is there something wrong with form atm? I tried editing my order but all i get is: "There was a problem submitting your response"

On the key logo version, where would the FN key be?  I know it's assignable, but is there a default location?

EDIT: Specifically for WKL

That's... fantastic!  Thanks for the reply.

They might be doing invoices right now or at the time you got the error.

[olsen34]

Just paid for the second batch invoice. No spreadsheet for the second batch yet I assume?

[MK47]

Just submitted my order. Can't wait.

[noahf]

go to the order google sheet, then click on "Sheet 2" that is where the 2nd round of invoices are living.

[Fnzzy]

I couldn't find anything about this after a short search so apologies if this has been asked yet, does the PC version have brass inserts for the screw threads like the acrylic Tofu case? I assume this would improve longevity greatly.

So on the non-hotswap pcb, we can solder SMD RGB LED, which the firmware will support cycling through?

[thecheeselouise]

Invoiced and paid! Super excited. Did we ever get a picture of the hotswap PCB?

Yes, here:

The hotswap prototype PCB is finished as well. Will test it later.

[chozn1]

 Hot swap, 65%, blocker, PC. Man RGB would have made this a must buy. So close

Hope you consider changing the LEDs to rgb

[anonthing00]

Would I be able to change my shipping address before the keyboards gets shipped out?

Yeah, hope you can consider rgb if it don't require redesign the pcb.

Ended up jumping in, GLWGB!

[muppen]

When will you release the plate files?

[maxmakyk]

Do you have the weight of the components so I can have a brief idea of how much my board will weigh?

Same here. Still on the edge for this one but RBG would make it an insta-buy.

[DaneOne]

I've put in my order already, just waiting to get invoiced, but I also would love for the LEDs to be RGB. RGB per key is a game changer for layers. Still very excited though, checking multiple times a day if I've recieved the invoice!

[stillzman]

when is the last day to place an order?

[Aox]

RGB per key would indeed require a board redesign, so don't get your hopes up.

[Surefoot]

I didnt receive the invoice yet ? Sent my order 2 days ago.

[KayVS]

Will there be a typing test anytime soon?

[OmniSzron]

GB started on 2019-09-25 and it's meant to run for two weeks, so that would make the final day of the group buy 2019-10-09 (Wednesday).

[suparnemo]

They go out in waves, so you won't get invoiced right away

[Trixxur]

Just put my order in. Waiting on invoice now   

[victorpre]

I'm not sure if this was already asked but here it goes:

Are you making the plate files available for us to cut our own?

[zkurix]

Hi, I got an invoice and paid but the information in the google form doesn't have the correct info. Does it just need to update?

[senter]

Would I be able to change my shipping address before the keyboards gets shipped out?

Yes

[senter]

ISO plate files have been attached in OP as promised. They are NOT fully tested tho.

[chakkii]

ISO plate files have been attached in OP as promised. They are NOT fully tested tho.

so should I just get this file to lasergist or should I wait? will you fully test it?

[vsrnth]

Is there a discord server or email which we can use to reach out to Fox Lab?

[muppen]

there are no pieces sticking out on the bottom and top of the iso plates to hold it in a topmount, am i dumb or is it not finished completely?

The files look correct to me but I don't plan to do prototyping for them. You need to check the files by yourself and take the risks.

We don't have a discord server now.
You'll know my email address after I send out the confirmation email to you.

It's not top mount. It's gasket sandwich.

[senter]

I plotted some figures according to the current orders. Hope it will help with your choices.












For top, middle, and bottom combinations.

[mg53]

This looks great. I've submitted my order. I guess I need to keep my eye out for an invoice?

[Quasimodo]

Oooh just had an idea for anyone wanting the ISO plate, in the UK or EU. I'd be very happy to organise a mini group buy, so we could get them slightly cheaper. I personally want brass, so I can't order from Lasergist, so I'm looking at UK laser cutting services. I'm going to get one made for myself regardless, but I thought I'd offer everyone the option to maybe get them slightly cheaper if we all pool together The website I'm currently looking at is Lasermaster.co.uk. I've sent a quote request in already with the plate file, so I'm waiting to hear how much it'll cost to make just one. If you are interested, they offer various steels, aluminium, copper and brass.

Yeah cool I'd like to know how much a copper or steel plate would be

Is there a possible way solder rgb smd led on the hotswap pcb in place of the white smds?

Do you think plastic(PC) is also a possibility?
