Yeah, similar issue here.

Well least Im not the only one, thought I was going to have to unsolder the entire board of the switches and try again. Maybe one of the chips doesnt have enough clearance to rest on the acrylic layer? Going to take another look tonight. Also, does anyone know where I can buy more of these plastic screws for the case? They strip very easily >.>

Just received package. Checked the PCB, working well.

Did anyone else ordered dark grey variant? The one I received seems too light to be dark grey, maybe I would call that slightly grey. I took a few pics to compare with whitefox.

I thought it would be darker too, but it's far enough away from silver that I'm happy with it.

You ordered dark grey too? Well then, guess I just have to wait for zeal stabs to start assembling. Thank you

Yea, definitely should wait on the stabs, the ones they included, the stems dont fit well at all and just fall out of the key. Luckily I had this set from zelios (https://zealpc.net/collections/accessories/products/pcb-plate-mount-cherry-stabilizers) and took the stems from those and used the bases that came with the stabs in the kit. Works perfectly, lol. If you manage to fit your board without a tilting problem on the right, let me know please! Thinking I might have to grind the acrylic layer for some clearance around the chip or something

Did Massdrop add signature confirmation to everyone's packages? I know the Postal Service requires it on anything shipped with a declared value of $750 or greater.

is there any news about plate/case dxf files? i'm interested in building my own split60 and wanted to see how others are doing it for the cases and plates.

and btw, if the solderless connection works, i want to see how to do it too!!

Sorry I kept you waiting.
It was long holiday in Korea.
I'm working on it :)
Wait a little more please.

it's okay take your time  :thumb: just wanted to know that you'll be releasing them  ;D

I don't see a reason not to, considering it is not usually more than what, three dollars? I about had a heart attack when they accidently delivered my 4690K to a neighbor, but that wasn't after waiting four months in anticipation!

your PCB is fine my man.  Package is on my bed at home ^_^

Thanks BB  :-*

Hmm, could you take picture of unbalanced parts? I don't understand what you meant.
We have assembled 3 samples before and didn't find any problem. Maybe it's something that I cannot realize as a problem.

And PC bolt size is M3 x 15mm.
You can use any bolt with that spec.

Here's one tip about worn bolt head.

Announcement from oddforge.

Now we see you guys are happy about VE.A.
We feel relieved, Finally.
This is our debut on GH and also international geek dimension.
We wanted it to be great, and seems we "almost" made it.

We know that some of you might not satisfied with VE.A on your hand.
We are 100% sure about quality! That's why we delayed drop this much.
Our team (odd-smiths and some helping hands) checked it several times after we got from factory, while assembling and while packaging.
Every single parts that cannot satisfy all of us was returned to factory. There was at least 6 eyes on every step, I give you my word.
But unfortunately, while shipping or handling elsewhere, the surface of case or PCB(especially RGB) can be ruined.

In that case, if you need something to ask about quality or functionality, contact our support email (support@oddforge.com) account anytime. We will take care of what we can do about it.

Yes, but only once you guys have properly recovered from this GB!

Also, plz maintain Alps compatibility, sadly it's not even a consideration with most customs.

Sorry, literally spent the last 3 hours unsoldering all my switches (ruining a couple, gonna need to find salvage some from my ergodox/sampler). So basically when the plate and pcp attached to the top plate, and then I put it on the acrylic/bottom layers, it tilts from the lower left to upper right for me, I was thinking I didnt solder the switches uniformly, so about to try it again, starting by soldering the 4 corners making sure it fits right, and going slowly from there

It's really confusing to track your posts. Haha :)
I saw your post on MD and replied.
Here's a copy of it.

----------
Here I understand what "wobbling" means is "bottom side is not perfectly flat", right?
I checked it with my old VE.A, it's fine. And I tested twisting it with my hand. Then the wobbling thing happens.
It looks not a delicate solution but can you try twisting it a little? That might helps.

Hah! I ended up with an extra of one of those (in black) that I'm planning to use. Had to rebuild my storage server due to a motherboard death, and Amazon shorted me a cable in my first order. Then they sent two when I whined about it.

Be careful of the connectors - the connector design can put a lot of pressure on the cable if you pull it out carelessly. I ended up (carefully!) using pliers to pull them.

WMP dropped from 120 to 40, but at least she looks pretty!

Went with Cherry Clears + 60g gold springs + Krytox 103/205 mix.

What is WMP?
BTW it looks good :)

I think he meant words per min. Typing speed. I could be wrong.

That makes sense, thanks :)

Thanks zefyer! Could I have the 3M part number for the rubber feet that comes with the tenting stand? The clear one.

I used this with mine.

But actually, that bump-on was bought and packed by Massdrop guys. So if you want to be sure, ask them via Massdrop Support.

I found a great alternative to the standard SATA cable for connecting the two halves:

I realise most korean mounting plates don't allow you to remove the switch tops after you have soldered them in. Is it because the extra clearance makes the switches more wobbly?

Yeah, similar issue here.

Well least Im not the only one, thought I was going to have to unsolder the entire board of the switches and try again. Maybe one of the chips doesnt have enough clearance to rest on the acrylic layer? Going to take another look tonight. Also, does anyone know where I can buy more of these plastic screws for the case? They strip very easily >.>

Hmm, could you take picture of unbalanced parts? I don't understand what you meant.
We have assembled 3 samples before and didn't find any problem. Maybe it's something that I cannot realize as a problem.

And PC bolt size is M3 x 15mm.
You can use any bolt with that spec.

Here's one tip about worn bolt head.

it's wrote in Korean but you can get what you need from pictures :)

Sorry, literally spent the last 3 hours unsoldering all my switches (ruining a couple, gonna need to find salvage some from my ergodox/sampler). So basically when the plate and pcp attached to the top plate, and then I put it on the acrylic/bottom layers, it tilts from the lower left to upper right for me, I was thinking I didnt solder the switches uniformly, so about to try it again, starting by soldering the 4 corners making sure it fits right, and going slowly from there

It's really confusing to track your posts. Haha :)
I saw your post on MD and replied.
Here's a copy of it.

----------
Here I understand what "wobbling" means is "bottom side is not perfectly flat", right?
I checked it with my old VE.A, it's fine. And I tested twisting it with my hand. Then the wobbling thing happens.
It looks not a delicate solution but can you try twisting it a little? That might helps.
----------

Sorry for the trouble >.< Alls well that ends well right? Got it all assembled and working. Sorry for bad quality photo. Used my spare deep space set, but didnt have an ISO key or caps key so used some I had from a grab bag. Waiting for my Carbon set to come in.

received mine! great work zef & oddforge  :thumb:

couple scratches on the plate, but nbd since i plan to wait as long as it takes to get a dedicated alps plate!

Quote
I have to say really sorry for Alps fans since Alps switch mounting plate will not be provided in Massdrop.
I believe all Alps fans can understand why I removed this option.
But I'll explain anyway.
Alps mounting system is very strict about layout.
It has no sustain pins like Cherry MX, and stabilizers is mounted on mounting plate so "Universal Alps plate" cannot be made.
Plus, there's no "Standard" keycap sets for alps (except Matias, but I don't want to limit selection of keycaps.).
So, We will share alps plate drawing on public.
And for who have no access to metalworks shop, we will accept order of Alps plate in our website.
This can make you spend another shipping money. but at this time, I have no better way.
Sorry again and thank you for your understanding in advance :)

take all the time you need to recover!~~ then onto releasing those plate drawings/website orderz!   ;D

check toggle bootmapper box and hit the key :) It will highlight position.

was having the same issue. Re-tighten all 4 of those rubbers screws on the back to about the same tightness. If one screw is looser than the other 3 it'll wobble a little. Re-tightened mine, solid as a rock now.

I feel bad I haven't assembled mine yet.  Pretty sure I have everything I need, just not the time.  :(
