Update from the designer: the ACE-XT40 will be compatible with Planck PCB
The price for the 1 case, 1plate, fixing bolts and rubber pads is $135. The pcb is not sold individually.
-
Is that same as a planck layout?
<-
I'll fix my question.
Are the 'planck pcb' and 'ACE-XT40' cases compatible?
The picture shows that the screw hole positions of the aluminum plate are the same.
-
Can I order without PCB and use my own Planck PCB?
Is that same as a planck layout?
The layout options here include the two planck layouts, but I understand there's a differenct PCB.

Thanks for answering my question!
So your PCB has gone through the SMT process? And does it support the led function?

PCB and case are not sold individually~ :
-
The USB port and maybe even the mounting holes appear to be in the same spot as the planck. Could one use a planck pcb? im not a hug fan of bootmapper.
-
Any possibility of a better picture of the green case? Really rough lighting on that one alone.
-
I need that red case for my Wolf Mark set. Any idea how long manufacturing and shipping to US will take?
-
beautifully designed case good sir

I will post another sample picture for green a few days later,currently i don't have it on hand.
-

It is not compatible. The Winkeyless Bootmapper client is much less daunting than QMK for someone with no keyboard programming experience.
Here is the short tutorial https://imgur.com/a/Jbdh4 (provided by neon_tom)

Very nice, I'm in. Will we get the invoice on the 15th?

I have been longing for a high profile case for Planck. The Chinese deliver and are quick.
A few important question for me:
1. Can there be also stainless steel plates order?
It is made by the same machine that is going to create the Alu plates I think.
2. On the PCB, Are the pin hole size for the switches identical to that of other Winkeyless PCBs?
Winkeyless PCBs are compatible for hotswap modifications using Holtites with their pin hole size.
3 Are the chipsets and software identical to Winkeyless PCBs? QMK is porting to WKL.

1. No, the Stainless steel version is not available this time.
2. I think you are talking about the two types of Holtite sockets sold on https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=88193.0.
The hole size for the switch pin is 1.7mm, as we never test it on board.We are not sure for this. I have PMed jal for the size. It is still possible to make modification as production hasn't started.
For the LED socket, You can use the one as pic given
3. Yes, The pcb uses same chipset and software as Winkeyless PCBs. For porting, theoretically you can achieve the same effect.
Hope i have clarified your concern

About your #2 answer:
For your information, the mounting holes for switch hotswap Holtite receptacles is 1.47mm
http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/te-connectivity-amp-connectors/8134-HC-8P2/A114358-ND/2188091
http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/te-connectivity-amp-connectors/8134-HC-8P3/A114359-ND/1151726
For the LED hotswap Holtite receptacles is 1.04mm

I am not sure if it is better to have the PCB pin holes slightly larger or slightly smaller, but if it is too large the Holtites will fall through, too small doesn't work either. Here is a compatibility table (although there are some conflicting reports about fitting online):

I don't remember if I filled the form out and submitted or just filled it out, any way to check?

Interesting choice using ps2avrGB based PCB. I don't think it would be able to even emulate the default Planck layout.
On the other hand, the case looks cool. But I need to know if it can be used flat. Is the 5 deg angle optional?
-
These cases look dope. What colours are you guys getting?
I'm getting red for my planck!! It will look awesome as hell. cant wait.

What aspects of the default Planck layout you are referring to?
The default Planck layout has 7 layers, ps2avr only got 4 layers max. Default Planck support switching default layer between qwerty, dvorak and colemak; AFAIK, ps2avr can't change default layout. Default Planck uses raise+lower to switch to ADJUST layer; I don't think this can be easily accomplished in ps2avr. Default Planck outputs _ and + (shifted state), this would require complicated macro in ps2avr.
Recent QMK has ps2avr support, and with it, it should support the default Planck layout. But why not go all the way and use atmega32u4 instead? We'd get all the features and easy programming using qmk.sized.io.

If Bface bothers you but you like the deisgn of this case, feel free to use the Plank PCB instead.

Submitted :D

Is the plate compatible with both Matias and MX switches?
-
Does the plate support switch top removal? How much does the case by itself weigh? It's astounding that the package will be 2kg.

Do you have a timeline for how long this GB will take until it is finished?

To ensure the switch could sit in the pcb firmly, it does not support. I received the update from the designer, the package will be around 1.5 KG and SF express international is used for delivery which provides better service than EMS(normally 3-5 days depending on the location)

With sufficient amount of solder, basically anything would sit firmly...

Unfortunately the case does't have the hole for the reset button, you need to dissemble the case, for your convenience small wrench is provided in each set.
Hope this issue doesn't bother you so much.
-
No hole for the reset button shouldn't be much of an issue. Just put a RESET key in your keymap and use that instead.

Wow, it looks great! Really excited to see these out in the wild fully built.
-
So the Planck PCB fits in the case, but has the alignment of the switches with the plate been tested as well? I remember that the spacing between keys is slightly different from the standard on the Planck, and I want to be sure that I can use my PCB when I get this case.
The case looks real nice, though. I ordered a black one myself. Can't wait.

Probably not the best time to ask this but, can we consider to do a group buy just for the PCB(and maybe the plate also)?? Might be interesting since a lot of us would like to build a planck-stlye keyboard that can be shipped through China and (probably) does not that much with the shipping.

Funny enough I see that. There was not a link how to program it, at least not that I have seen. The PCB have a usb centered as well, so this a no go.

You could do a custom case with 2 plates. Im 99% sure it uses bootmapper though.

I just attempted to build mine and was not able to due to the plate being cut with improper spacing, as well as at least 1 switch cutout being the wrong size. Hopefully I was the only one with a faulty plate :(

I am sorry to hear that. I have sent message to Ace team and the replacement will be sent to you soon.
By the way, the plate you installed is upside down.
-
Lol yeah I noticed it being upside down afterwards, but unfortunately the issues still persist when it's right side up.

Hi wang! I just received mine and its gorgeous. Is it possible to get a pcb from you?

Ace team is not sure for the extra pcb. I will give you reply after all the keyboards reaches buyers end.

I just got my case. The plate is not perfect for the Planck PCB, but it works. However, I did not get any mounting hardware. I don't have the screws or rubber feet.
Edit: I also just noticed that there are some scratches on my case. Some are not that bad or on the inside where they will be invisible. But two of them run over the top edge, which are in plain view.

Mine hasn't arrived yet because I was out when DPD tried to deliver it. Reading these comments don't give me much confidence...
Hope you get the scratches issue fixed, I'm really not sure what they're going to do about it. Doubt they'll send you another case, they can't have made that many extras.

I have some fine scratches on my black case too.
Very fine ones, hard to even capture with my potato cam so I won't even bother....
-
I have made some photos of the scratches. Most I am not bothered by, but there is this one on the left side of the case that is quite distracting. The first photo in the album is of the right side. The others are of the left side. Lighting isn't the best, but my phone is the best camera I have and I don't have natural light anymore.

The case, rubber feet and screws will be sent to you later and you can keep the old one!
If any one has problem for the items received, please PM me with your name and pictures.

Can you elaborate on this? I'm curious to know what issues you ran into.

I already had a Planck PCB with holtites ready to go. I started by putting in four switches in the corners. However, once I put in two switches on one side, the plate did not quite line up with the PCB. The spacing between keys seems to be just a bit more than on a standard Planck plate.
You can see what I mean here: http://imgur.com/a/nDCGQ

Ah I see it's just the tiniest bit off. That's unfortunate.

Missed this groupbuy....Does anyone wanna sell the GREEN CASE, please pm'd me in advanced :( :-[

Hey, I just received my case. Luckily, I have no scratches! However, just as Danilo_dk, I have no mounting hardware (the screws and rubber feet).
-
I got mine today, but the PCB is missing :(
I clearly ordered it:

The rest is awesome by the way, really love the color!

Arrived today in Poland - all good! :)

ughhh apparently the street address that was on the package was wrong :|
Maybe I accidentally typed it wrong? I've contacted SF-Express and updated it but I guess I gotta wait a bit longer!

Hi, ppp
i am sorry about it, i just checked the history of the order files, it seems part of your street name is missing after several rounds of change, if there is any extra charges incurred for the redirect, i am willing to pay for that.
By the way, Please do PM me with your name, pictures, description of problem as soon as possible if you any problem for the items received~
Until now, all the problems PMing to me regarding to the PCB and case were justified by the factory and they admitted that the problems were caused by factory side during the production, the factory will reproduce the items, send the new one and you can keep the old one. Please be patient.

Pm'd you!

Hi Wang, if it is not too much trouble, could the factory also do an additional PCB for me too? Thanks

Any updates? All the pictures look great! Are we still on schedule to be shipping fairly soon according to the previously mentioned "end of June" shipping time?
Most of keyboards are shipped out.
Tracking number: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1SkXiPpYrCzQ9ASl0fEqTsEeU5qRSB1Q9RFWBceGrKqY/edit?usp=sharing
Mine still says in production while most are sent out. Is there any update on that?

Once they are ready, i will post here.
As there is not any extra case left, all replacement need to be reproduced. It takes time. Hope you can understand.

Dear wangbwhz
I read that case started an anodizing last week. So, can you tell when the delivery of your new case starts?
Best regards.
-
I finally built my keyboard out! Turned out great!
-
It's been a while. Any word on when the replacement cases will be done and shipped?
-
The replacement kits will be shipped this week. I will PM the tracking information individually once i received from factory.

Hey I got my PCB today and accidentally clicked upload instead of download on the bootmapper, so now my layout is blank :0
Can anyone provide me with a hex file? I would really appreciate it :)
-
Any news on tracking info?

Hey, if anyone would please share the hex file from the bootloader, I would super appreciate it preciate it. Thank you :thumb:

Any chance for a round 2?

Any chance for a round 2?
What are the major (significant) differences between this design and the latest Planck with high profile case? setting aside USB-C and the hotswap sockets in the new Planck PCB.

The hipro Planck case is flat and thinner, just doesn't feel and look as premium. TBH I'm only interested in the case, I'm currently running a rev.6 Planck in a gunmetal ACE and it's absolutely delightful, so I'd like to grow my collection.
