Here's a video on the indicator LEDs

Nice!

Question: How much control do we have over the indicator LEDs and the LED cluster above the arrows?
I'd prefer to have the indicator LEDs on when caps etc is off - reversed compared to standard, and have the LED cluster on at all times. But I understand it may not be a priority.

I believe this would be a firmware related question. Easy AVR supports the Orion v1, but it didn't include those LED clusters. You could make a request to add LED support, see https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=51252.0

Thanks for the update elton, it looks stunning!

Oh yes black top housing looking so good. Can any owner of the Octagon tell me if you can set the RGB LEDs on the back to a single custom color instead of rotating through many colors?

This is what I've been trying to figure out with 02D Keymapper with Octagon and will probably be figuring out on this upcoming Orion V2

With tmk on an Octagon you get on/off control of red, green and blue individually.

Not sure about the O2D firmware, sorry.

Guys what switches should I use on my orion

I recently bought a eagle with 62g clears and they're great. However while rebuilding the keyboard I tested some gateron blacks and they are soooo smooth. Would it be a sin if I used gaterons on this keyboard?

I think quite a few will get made with Gateron Blacks.

Gaterons will probably be just as popular as Cherry switches, at least on GH.
I'm under the impression that Duck keyboards are quite sturdy, unless you go for the plastic plate. You might want to keep that in mind, but really I wouldn't be able to say what to go for, that's your own opinion.

I've got some Gateron blacks, lube, stickers and springs ready for assembly :>

I got a steel plate.
I've been using topre for a while now, using clears doesn't seem too comfortable anymore. The tactile bump is a little awkward for me now.
I think I'm going with Gateron black, they're just ultra smooth.What springs are you putting into those blacks? I have 62g springs from sprit. I was going to use them in some clear switches but I am unsure now.

It's between 65g, 68g and 72g. I do like switches with a bit of brawn to them :-)

Might have to wait to try them out on the actual board and PCB, to see how the weight actually feels in action.

asgeirtj · « **Reply #426 on:** Mon, 25 May 2015, 15:58:14 »

So am i getting this right: typing sturdiness with different plates = 1. steel (best) 2. aluminum 3. plastic. Typing loudness with the plates are in an inverse order. Also the plastic plate bends slightly, giving a feeling something along the lines of a pcb mount, which is good with mx clears. Is this all correct?

Would be amazing to hear a sound test comparing the different plates, preferably with o-rings on (the mission for the quietest board).

Looking good. Wish the pictures were higher resolution though. I thought South Korea had superspeeds in the internets, so what's the point in making the pictures so small?

Another month for second batch IIRC, look earlier in the thread the answer will probably be there.
