is the .hex flashable with the hex flasher? (I have trouble with Atmel Flip)

[vincentalpha]

Do you think this layout is achievable with your pcb?
Thanks.

Thanks.

There is a picture showing all the layouts that work, not sure if you took the time to look at it but no, you can't.

[milchek]

Anywhere I can see photos of the assembled kit with the other color cases/plates? Also, with the RGB backlight is it bright or diffused? And you can customise the colours right?


Sorry for the newbie questions, still learning and new to the custom build stuff + this will be my first kit with lights!

[tobsn]

will there be an iso front plate? (split left shift)

[kawasaki161]

will there be an iso front plate? (split left shift)

Looking at the pictures the universal one does support that, but there probably won't ever be an ISO only one.

[duynguyenle]

The plate already supports ISO, look at the universal Enter cluster and wide left shift cutout

yeah you're right, i totally missed that...

@doodersbrother any pictures of the case/plate colors?

Also feet colors are different from plate - Cyan vs Blue - is it the same or different?

Thanks!

[milchek]

Just purchased, this will be my first custom 60% build, looking forward to it!

Thanks.

you and i have the same taste, you should probably look for iss 62 board https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=81548.0 . 60% with arrow keys.

OP has gone dark on that page lol, wouldn't think about that until ISS comes back

[shinz0]

regarding the dye-sub black keycaps, are they black on black?

[deductivemonkee]

Are the keycaps in the pictures dye-sub or printed pbt?

[deductivemonkee]

Also, does this come with resistors and diodes pre-soldered, included or not at all?

Resistors and diodes are pre-soldered, the keycaps pictured are dye-sub pbt

[deductivemonkee]

Thanks. Are the black dye sub black on black by chance?
And how come the prices on this form are slightly different than the prices on the sentraq website?

//Edit: Too many questions! Do you have any pictures of the printed pbt caps?

[deductivemonkee]

Do the dye sub white pbt caps come with caps for split right and left shift? Or is that included as part of "No ISO caps?

[deductivemonkee]

To hell with my never ending questions! Ordered!

I had too many to ask and I didn't want to be the pest that I usually am in GB threads. 

[colonel disappointment]

i think i got in on this lol.

i didnt get any kind of confirmation or anything.

 i went through the steps last week and still havnt gotten any confirmation. should i have?

thanks.

[gnmar2723]

Ordered 

Can't wait to pair the blue LEDs and under glow with some GMK Olivetti 

[Slash Emperor]

Just slipped in before the GB closes so I can try out an MX HHKB build. Looking forward to receiving this kit, thanks for bringing such a neat kit at an amazing price point!

[jisaak]

I also joined here. When does this gb end?

Posted on the 19th, it is the 1st. Open for two weeks, so with account for stragglers, Friday or Saturday.

[gnmar2723]

Hey I put in my order yesterday but I changed my mind on the color of the LEDs. Is there a way you can just edit that or should I just resubmit another response?

Just pm him, I'm sure it isn't a big deal.

How are sandwhich cases held together without aving nuts and bolts showing?

On these? They are showing. You can see the screw holes in the picture. If you don't want any screwholes at all, use magnets like the Magneto75: https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/4wvewe/magneto75_screw_free_keyboard/

Me too. This is my first group buy on GH (long time lurker), but I'm assuming we get contacted / charged when it completes.

Hey guys,

I'll be sending out invoices on Monday.

I just ordered but forgot to ask whether you can assist in assembling it? Haha.. is it easy to build one? I haven't done any sorts of soldering in my life!!

PM'ed.

You only need to solder switches if I am correct, unless you ordered switch LEDs. Diodes and resistors and rgb LEDs are pre-soldering to my knowledge.

I did order LEDs. Now, I'm worried haha...

that has to be really strong magnets then, otherwise it would pop out right? Any idea where you can get magnets like that?

That only means that you also have to solder LEDs. It's not harder to do than the switches since both are through hole components.

I agree. The first time I had ever soldered in my life was my previous keyboard, which needed switches and diodes. It was done in less that 1 1/2 hours.

PayPal accounts take <5 mins to make. It had been said previously that invoices will be sent out tomorrow.

[deductivemonkee]

Have any invoices been sent out yet?

I don't think so, I'm still waiting on an invoice as well.

[darcy67]

Damn I just missed this. Would still love to take part.

[doodersbrother]

Hey guys, invoices just got sent out!

[deductivemonkee]

Paid! Looking forward to receiving it!

[Ozbourn]

On my invoice there was no note about the color selection of the top plate. Can we be assured that will be correct?

[deductivemonkee]

I know that the dye sub keycaps do not support iso, not and issue for me as I like ansi, but does it come with caps that support split backspace, backspace replace |\ or hhkb right shift?

[jgodinez302]

I got in on this through the website. I know it said shipping in about 2.5 months (November/December?), but I was just wondering if we had any update on a more focused production/ship date? Just curious. I'm very excited to get this kit.

[deductivemonkee]

What microcontroller is this running?
