Can I get confirmation on how long the space bar is on this board? I've never had a winkeyless layout like this, but it looks longer than standard. Thinking about jumping in on the zeal stabs while they're in GB mode.

Standard WKL stabs are 7u long for space.

I'm pretty sure stabs are included unless you really want those Zeal stabs.

This could easily be arranged!

As can any of the other parts once 27 confirms if the fitment is OK or if I need to adjust anything. So anyone who wishes for some accessories I can certainly work with them to make it happen.

It's a plate with MX + Alps compatible cutouts, so it should support switch top opening for both MX and Alps.

27 · « **Reply #264 on:** Sat, 13 January 2018, 13:21:07 »

The MX/ALPS switch holes should support opening for MX and ALPS switches.

Also! I've been sorting a bit this weekend since I finished up exams. So far there haven't been any quality issues. I haven't seen the alignment pins in any of the boxes I've opened yet, so I'll have to fire off an email to the shop during the week. This won't cause any delays to the late January to mid-February shipping dates.

Are the alignment pins removable after install? If so, then I actually don't need to modify the diffuser design. And it will look better since the pins would block the light (I'll be using my V1 PCB since V2 doesn't have underglow on the PCB right?).

v2 PCB is just a TX87, so it does have underglow

Interested in the cork bottom for dampening (was thinking about getting sorbothane bumpons, but this seems even better), how does it attach to the case bottom?

It has double sided tape attached to the cork. So just peel and stick! It also has enough give to let you place it lightly and try again if you aren't spot on. Though once it's on there and has had 5lbs of pressure sitting on it for a while, you're probably going to need to use a heat gun to get it off again (this will not damage the ano).

Hey everyone! Still waiting for the foam to arrive. I've finished sorting through the top pieces and there's a handful that need to go back for anodizing. I'll post pictures of the flaws once I've finished sorting through the bottoms as well.

This most likely will not delay our timeline. There is always a chance, but I'll keep you all posted.

Packaging is sitting in customs waiting for me to fill out some forms (which I will do tomorrow).

Also funnily enough, my QA/QC professor works for the local shop and personally programmed the CNC machining for the Mech27-TKLv2 cases!

Hey everyone!

Here's the pictures of the rejected pieces. They are generally all like this, or just an unsatisfactory finish, likely from oxidizing while in the anodizing queue.

A count of rejected pieces will be posted in just a moment.

FYI, silver is the color that was the most ordered, so all colors are about equally represented adjusted for the amount ordered.

that was the goal from the start

"if anything happens, just post it in the thread"

that way it's easier to just go "no updates" if there aren't any

Unlikely, probably direct through me via PM for now. A few people have reached out via email as well. I don't expect there to be a huge demand, but I'll probably post back with an official IC here for the V2 buyers. I need to have mine in hand to verify fitment anyways, so unfortunately I can't offer parts just yet.

There is no diffuser included with the Mech27-TKLv2. If you are asking thebeephaha, I believe that he has a frosted material, but I'm not 100% sure.

I can do whatever you want. Clear, frosted, etc. Just PM me to discuss options.

As a reminder to anyone else interested, these parts I am making are for the good people who backed 27 for his beautiful TKL-V2 (and V1 if you happen to have one of those as well), but I have no official affiliation with him or these boards. He's letting me post here as a courtesy, so try to PM me with questions.

Hey everyone! I totally ****ed up on some customs clearance so the packaging is taking longer than expected. This may delay shipping for a couple of weeks but I should be able to get everything out within the month of February.

This is completely due to my lack of experience with the freight process and not having the proper documentation prepared. This will not happen in the future.
