[elton5354]

Hi all, who is interested in Duck's JetFire?!  . The GB for JetFire will start once the LSV3 GB is completed. I will post a release date for the GB once we get closer to completing the LSV3. Please let me know your thoughts! The GB will start on Friday, November 24 @ 9AM EST!

Good layout, not keen on the bottom piece. Will there be alternate bottom pieces or is that no longer a thing?

[packman86]

Very interested.

Thread bookmarked.

[avid]

YES!!     This layout is so nice. The silver jetfire with muted is perfection.

Whats the angle of the case? Price? How many units will be available?

[Shoah]

Insanely beautiful. Is it limited? Raffle, fcfs?

[Atredl]

It’s FCFS. Better start practicing typing your shipping details.

[PoisonKing]

I like the layout but I'm not a fan of the side profile though. I prefer the Blackbird side profile more.

[gaiden]

Looks great but man I wished it was the Blackbird

Ahh, so soon already

[HTN47]

Is there any chance for split spacebar support? That would put this thing on a whole new level. 

[mediman]

Wow!
Most beautiful layout.

[mbsurfer]

The black top with silver base has me sold

[packman86]

Estimated date and price?

[alienman82]

removed.

[avid]

The mixing and matching of top/bottom color is actually pretty cool.

What color-mix do you guys like?

[Puddsy]

it's a duck GB

whether i like it or not, it'll sell out in 3 minutes anyway

[Rumblehotep]

Uhoh running out of time to decide on black/silver or black/black

[eyedrop]

So do you like it or not?   

You're overly optimistic with 3 min.  I thought Lightsaver v3 is gone in 1.5.

[gizmoplex]

Yesss pleaaase...

no i think it's not good

duck's boards have been on a quality decline for the last year or so as well (really since viper/eagle v2)

and i think it doesn't look especially good

but again, it's a duck board and my opinion doesn't matter

[zoomwalt]

Want.

[Halverson]

Oh Elton, you dirty slut

[exitfire401]

If not for the upcoming Realforce case, I'd be all over this

[poolside]

Interested in one of these 
It may be subjective, but I prefer the new bottom side profile to the previous ones.

[kiwi99]

super nice stuff, definitely my fav duck board Ive seen.

Got any examples of that? Genuinely curious

Or did you mean you've just generally disliked the ones from the past year

[Jedi]

That black with burgundy keycaps on top, mmmmmmm

[ihalatch]

I'm very interested. Please make it a raffle. It's fairer for all of us who do not reside in the Americas.

[gaiden]

Maybe half and half (first half FCFS, 2nd half Raffle) would make more sense.

As far as it is convenient for all of us. FCFS is always geared towards the people in North America. Best part of the purchases in the Lightsaver v3 GB were from GH members living outside USA and Canada.

[BlackInk]

WOW GMK muted is too nice to have

[SakeJams]

this is a need

[Jae-3soteric]

Def want in on this

The bottom piece looks like a flipped version of the previous duck bottoms. A shame the angle doesn't allow a hybrid design were you could flip it the way you preferred it.

[JDragon]

I'll definitely be in the running for one. Are there any other boards with similar layouts? (compact, but with the arrow keys/numpad separated)

You're basically looking for 1800 variants

Kin25's TX-CP is the closest example.  It doesn't have the Home/Insert/Delete keys above the arrow cluster tho... He'll have another batch at some point soon I'm sure. There's a GB thread oh GH somewhere and his website here: http://txkeyboards.com/en/keyboards/txcp-detail

There is also FC980C and fc980m (topre/mx). Not customs, but excellent keyboards.

Hmm...

I would think he's talking about from Octagon V2 with the pretty lackluster finishing... Viper/Eagle with people needing to buy some third party accessories (I'm not really sure about this since I didn't follow the group buy, but apparently the design didn't accommodate for something)? Throw in the very frustrating software and inconsistent PCB's for hotlite, and really the only things that keep Duck as high as it is are: 1) Reputation, 2) Aftermarket pricing (Let's be real here), 3) Unique layouts, and 4) (Hoping that the materials come out well) Good looking products.

Just my two cents.

The Eagle/Viper acrylic front piece wasn't compatible with popular screw in stabs like zeal's so a mini GB was formed to have that piece remade.

The software was pretty frustrating.. I only use it for updating keymapping only now an dude Flip to flash. It's the only reason I have Korean language pack installed on my PC... (Those Korean arrows..🤣)

He did address the stab issue with LSv3 though

I think the acrylic inserts that didn’t accommodate the screw in stabs shouldn’t count against the quality of duck boards since screw-ins had just become popular again. Plus the clearance issue was fixed on the very next Duck board. I’d say that’s actually a point in their favor.

[JDragon]

Thanks to everyone for the suggestions! Hoping to get a Jetfire but now I know I have viable backup options. 

[shower_king]

Interested, any exact specifications such as colors and PCB materials? Thank you

[Atredl]

colors

Duck boards generally have two color options, black or silver. You can mix and match the tops and bottoms so that you have a silver top with black bottom or vice versa.

PCB materials

What you mean by PCB materials?

This might be too far into the future, but is there a chance that a duck orion v3 gb might happen, possibly after this gb?

I think the next one is gonna be for the Trooper

Sadly, duck told me that he is not interested in designing tenkeyless keyboards at the moment.
