It's been run twice in China with few/no issues.

Has anyone here spent some time with one from the previous runs that can offer an overall review? I've seen mentions on reddit that one customer had a "ping" issue, and another was commenting that the bottom of the keyboard was much thinner than expected. Would love to get a thorough rundown before jumping in!

Hi CA66 crew.

Can i still pay the "old" invoice? i haven't received a new. And if i have changes would it be easier just make a new order through the G form?

THANKS

PS. when the time comes would you guys make a guide in English on ydkb.io for the YD keymap builder for CA6&? :D

Saw the same reddit posts. The one about it being "thin" was just that he expected it to be a lot heavier than it was.

Don't pay the old invoice. Wait for a new one. And no, you should message OP for an order change because then you might get invoiced twice.

There is something to be said for a tested factory and runners with a track record of git R done, going int’l adds in some spice though. Who is running the GB is not the only factor worth considering imo. To each their own, nice lookin board.

The PayPal issues are common with all sorts of gb. E8-V1 was a very unique case as the GB runner was hospitalized. I don’t really think THAT is a realistic fear here.

Asian paypal is particularly ruthless with things like this.

Yock reduced the weight to make it lighter. He didn't want CA66 to be heavy as hell.

Don't care about the old one. I've sent new invoices to all buyers.

Please pm me if you didn't get yours.

You can set up couple of function keys to control both RGB leds and in-switch leds.

Same here, from few dollars.. The paypal fees are still 4,4% but represent a higher amount, strange

Hi guys, we are going to resend paypal invoices from the first order. :D

Please check your emails and order list to see if you get your new invoice yet. :thumb:

Hi, I still have the previous invoice you sent before. I haven't paid that. Is it the same paypal account or do I have to wait for a new invoice?

Mine is the same way. Just a few dollars higher. Though it is not much, I would like to know where this difference is coming from prior to paying the invoice.

Same question here

Don't know why. :(

Since the previous account has been prohibited and we can't check it.

Can someone PM me the previous one to have a look? :D

I think I figured out where the difference is coming from. For the first invoice, the 4.4% for the PayPal fees was calculated off of the subtotal not including shipping fees. On the second invoice, the 4.4% is calculated from the total cost including shipping.

Are these two different color or just one color under different lighting? If the blue grey is the second one, then it is probably too light for me..

That still doesn't really answer the question lol. Was there another blue, or can grey blue look super blue in certain light.

I'm still undecided about the color, it's either going to be grey, silver or grey blue.
Two other questions: If I don't want to desolder, I will have to buy a plate per pcb, is this correct?  And I will need plate mounted stabilizer, right?

Yeah, unless you want to try Holtites you'll have to get 1 plate per pcb.

I hope someone else can chime in to confirm but its almost certainly pcb mount stabilizers.

So i have a weird question, but when putting this board together, would it be possible to put the larger (2.75u) half of the spacebar on the left side? I’ve always used my left thumb for the spacebar and I’m afraid 2.25u is going to be too small. I know I don’t have to split the spacebar, but I want to if this would be possible.

Thanks!

If you set 2.75u on the left side, your thumb won't be place directly above the switch.

And it's not available though.

You shouldn't receive a refund if you pay the new invoice yesterday.  The refund is for those who received the original invoice, paid, and PayPal freezing the funds on that account.

I agree with you on all points, I like the weight as I can sit on the couch and comfortably type on my lap or throw it in a bag and take it to work with me. Daily driver here too.

Are there any more pictures of the brown case, besides the (2x) that are linked via this thread?

I have the coffee brown, not sure if it’s the same as this run but it almost looks black in certain light. Here’s a pic with the led’s on (which I normally turn off as they are quite bright)



Also just waiting on Chocolatier arrows to finish the look

That board is gorgeous! Yeah, some photo I came across mentioned it would be lighter than how it was pictured (similar looking to yours). I am assuming this time around they are doing a brown instead of dark-brown. It is so hard to be set on a color. So far I have silver selected but I am debating the gray, and brown as well. The black looks awesome, but I have a Mira in black.
