(http://i.imgur.com/M8Qh5mY.jpg)
What changes:
- More color options.
- Winkeyless version.
- After a quite using, we realize the universal plate while convinient in making and handling order it is suffer from the fact that the enter key is not fully supported. We decided to separate ANSI and ISO for this round. In short, people will choose ANSI or ISO plate when ordering.
- Also we provide assembling service if needed.
- New shipping box, fully lined with foam to make sure problem like round 1 won't repeat.
What is winkeyless version?
DIS: :p
(http://i.imgur.com/kUS9zI8.jpg)
Price:
- Unchanged: 1 full kit (case) = $230 (winkeyless option +$20)
- Assembling = $30 + PCB, LEDs, switch,... (depends on your choices)
Shipping will be handled mostly by proxy, North American order will be done by Zeal (huge thanks), European ones will be done by our own, you'll get a secondary invoice for shipping when the order is ready to go.
More about color choice:
- Black, Silver, Golden, Blue, Red will be base choice, no minimum quantity required.
- Other options will need 5 order each to be made in to production. A Google doc poll will be posted here.
ORDER FORM
Check your order HERE (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/132tQbxHBuFC8frl3AR6m_ndwNIW1_PshfB7iEq3R8Ck/edit#gid=1277261373)
FORM FILLING INSTRUCTION: IMPORTANT
Please read this instructions:
- Put in your base set quantity in the field.
- Remember each base set have 3 pairs of aluminium part you can choose color for and 2 CF plates.
- Choose color for each parts.
- You can check more than 1 color if you're buying multiple base sets.
- If you want some of the parts only, head to the "Extra parts" section. Put in the part you want in format as stated in the form.
- Remember each of the side bars, long bars, and stands always comes in pair.
Order Count
Total 38
Order time should last about 2 weeks or more, it's depend, for now I will keep the deadline at May 30th
____Q&A____
- What layouts the plate support?
The plate is universal layout with cut out that allows you to open the switch top cover without desoldering. It is also ISO compatible. - Why I don't see those awesome green and purple in the color list?
Those colors actually requires a mixture of solutions so it was easy when it get done for one prototype, in group buy, we need to test more for consistency between each batch to make sure everyone gets the same color so right now it is not available. I'm sorry :(
UPDATE
June 11th:
please note that any further change to your order will only be able to do until tomorrow, starting from next week we'll fix the order, ie no changes allowed after Sunday (12th)

- Everyone if you're not happy with the blue color shown (need deep color as in order form stated) please shoot a PM to me, I'll get your parts reanodised, otherwise everything stay as in.
St. Patrick's Day update:
- US, Canada and Malaysia orders shipped, UK order will be shipped tomorrow.
- US and Canada orders are being shipped to our proxy in US, and will be ship to you then :D
25 MAR: Assembling Guild Update
(http://i.imgur.com/O5Fv5CS.jpg)
25 APR: Round 2 Prepair and Round 1 Replacing Parts Update
- We're working on solid foam package box for the next groupbuys.
- Waiting sucks. Regardless of the condition of the other Weaven that have not been damage confirmed, we're done making the replacement side bars. A little wait before those can be anodized (facility is busying at the time on a very big order) so special offer for everyone: if you happen to change your mind about the sidebars' color, PM me, no additional charge. Also, better quality promised.
- Zeal PC will be our proxy for NA orders on future buys including Lustro.
- Round 2 start in short, maybe will go along side with Lustro.
- Replacement for round 1 is done, most likely will be ship before round 2 order get done, these are still our first priority right now. This is not affecting the schedule for round 2 (and Lustro) though.

I saw the green side bars and was pumped then disappointed by the order thread.

Yeah I was so pumped for this, wish I knew when the GB was going to start so I could've saved money for it. After having to buy PCB, Switches, etc. it'll be around $350-$400.

yeah green is what I like so much (hence I made the prototype) but then the manufacturer told me that it (along with some other colors I mentioned) is a color mix so we need to test consistency and reproduciblity to make sure it will be the same for everyone without large batch. :(

I'm really interested in purple and green anodizing, got an idea about Evangelion unit 01 color scheme.
BTW, any ETA on this?

Sorry mate, those color is not available at the moment :( I hope you enjoy the current options, if this GB turns out good then you can expect another batch with those colors too, I try my best :thumb: remember you can also buy extra parts to mix and match :thumb:
Manufacturing should be done expecting one month after payment, then we'll go to sorting and shipping.

A Question:
is the stand the same as the one of duck Orinon/Viper, i.e. there could be LED inside.
and
the total kit includes:
2x aluminium bars (top and bottom)
2x aluminium side bars
1x carbon fiber switch plate
1x carbon fiber back plate*
2x aluminium stands
1x tier
am I correct?

1. No it's not since the backplate will not have holes like the Duck's one.
2. I don't know what you meant by "1x tier" but basically the others that you stated is right.

-.- sorry my fault...
I thought what you mean by tier is something like a foot / stand, cause what Google Image told me is a shape like that

Why bother with reproducibility for the colours? These are going to be rather unique items anyway. It could be considered an advantage knowing that yours is the only one out there with those exact colours.

So... should I get blue long bars with orange sidebars or the other way around?You guess :p

This is another prototype that did not make it to the final, but the color is spot on :cool:
Is there a preview of the deep blue? Sad for no purple/green :P
I didn't make any in deep blue/navy color but at the manufacturer they have some motorbike part you can take a look for example :-*
(https://scontent-arn2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xft1/v/t34.0-12/12464009_1109595652384043_467273349_n.jpg?oh=4b56a93ac6d282184624ff7aa8819d88&oe=5691A56A)
Any chance you have some side shots?
Can't decide on stands color just from the mock up.
I forgot to have some side shot, and right now I have the final proto being tested with color things so yeah, I'll post the pic later, give me some days :thumb:
Not sure if this was addressed in the IC phase, but did you finalize on how you plan on sealing the carbon fiber after cutting the plate?We usually seal our RC parts which exposing edge when in use, but the plate's edges is not exposed and also not subject to heavy bending force - which is the main reason for the edge's fray. I think it's not the problem here. Plates is cleaned to remove all chips
What pcb that can be used with these? and hows the feel of the carbon plate this board is really unique. I personally really like it :thumb:
Any 60% PCB on the market will be good, the bottom row can support either 6, 6.25 or 7x spacebar configurations. :thumb:
I think I'll be in on this GB, but I'll have to wait until I get paid, to make certain that I have the funds available!
I'll be waiting for your order mate :-*
Damn, I regret buying a Korean custom after seeing this!(http://onebit.us/x/u/Daco/0pDADai0Du.png)

Yes it is! in that way the stands will be held in place by the frame and the plate so no screws needed.
By the way guys, we are good to go now, do you want to just close and finish the buy now or to wait for more? Either way, I can start sending invoices in a couple of days, stay tuned :thumb:

Changed a little bit on stands design: no more left and right, now they're identical, cut through to reduce weight, better joints with plates for future mix n match with multi weaven housings :)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/VV1BtW9.png)
Yes it is! in that way the stands will be held in place by the frame and the plate so no screws needed.
By the way guys, we are good to go now, do you want to just close and finish the buy now or to wait for more? Either way, I can start sending invoices in a couple of days, stay tuned :thumb:
what colors are in the first picture in the first post sir? the blacks of the long bars look lighter than the side bars.

If you want to run this as a precursor group buy to a larger second run I'm confident that you won't lose on sales.
Post by: iamtootallforthis on Mon, 11 January 2016, 10:48:34
Well I think a lot of people including myself are waiting for the second round when the options are more refined.

If a second round could be organized within a couple of months or so (six months at most?) then it might be best to close it now, and do this run. If it'll be longer than that, you should wait so I can get my order in ;)That looks great. It looks like it slides in together with the plate to form a tight bond?wondering when there will be the next round of GB?
I'd like to wait for the second batch if there will be more color options, and, it's not too far away...
Very soon...

Second batch will happen as soon as we finish this batch and extra anodize colors are good enough for our product (aesthetic, re-producibility, dye and consumable pricing, capital cost for rarely used colors...).
We count days and weeks, not month :)

Q1) Is this Weaven 60% keyboard housing compatible with BeastMask's 60% PCB(ex. B.face X2 PCB)?
Q2) Where is shipping area?

Yes it is compatible with most of the custom 60% pcb on the market, BeastMask's ones including. (Though I never tried a B.Face, on the original project I used a FaceU)
Shipping is from Vietnam

The photos are great, but I'm a little bit confused. Are these pre-production units, or have you already gone into production. :confused:
Honestly, I'm not a patient man, so waiting soooo longggg for production and shipment as a buyer of other group buys is not my thing :blank:
So, for my own group buy, instead of waiting for payments, I use my own capital to start the production stage (deadline is next Monday and we're on time, no delay happened despite stands design change). So as soon as payments go through, anodizing for chosen colors will take place and buyer get the final product in less than a month (hope so), include shipping time. It's a hybrid of having goods stocked and normal group buy.
Sorry for my bad English, I hope the paragraph above make sense to you :D

- Thickness tolerance (I was naive and think 1.5mm sheet will actually 1.5mm thick)
- Early designs that not 'click' (sandwich construction method, screw up to alu frame, drop in upper plate for universal cases, etc...)
- Wrong measurements (CNC using wrong files, mismatch 3d to 2d mapping lead to wrong screw holes, etc...)
Luckily, most of those are done in-house, that really speed-up the prototyping process.
We will have a garage sale in future with some really weird stuffs, but don't hold your breath :))

I got your post so late :(I mean, I'll be using a GON NeRD 60 with mine. Pretty much any 60% pcb should fit just fine in this case, since it doesn't even have any mounting holes. The plate slots into the rails that go around the side, so it should be ridiculously easy to find a pcb that will work with this case.

Post by: lashiel on Sun, 24 January 2016, 01:04:06
Well it was in our intend from the start to support as many layout as possible but it still need some time as well as we need to check the capability of the machining to bring more of them so it will not be around soon. Tt the time I just want to run this 60% as smooth as possible so the less diversity at the moment the better for me given the fact this is the first time I run a buy so yeah, dont expect it to appear anytime soon.

I'm so interested with this GB and am looking forward to the next round.
This case seems to be portable and handy as well as good-looking IMO.
Especially the lightness of case appeals to me pretty much.
BTW, actually I'm a big fan of 65% keyboard rather than 60%.
I wonder if you would be able to make the same case for 65% compatible with Finger L3 PCB.
Actually zennasyndroxx is now doing interest checks on the aluminium case for this PCB.
Here is the link : [IC] Full Aluminum 65% keyboard (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=79112.0).
About physical dimension data or something for this PCB and plate, you may have them from him or share them with him, but I'm not sure of it.
I'm so happy if making this happen.

Since you said earlier that production was already underway (if I'm not mistaken), does that mean we will be getting the boards sooner rather than later, even if it takes a while for the last payment to be made?

Anodizing process is not done in-house so we rather do full batch at a time (it take longer if we do small number of odd pieces, lower priority). So there is 2 options: anod without his kit or keep waiting :(
PS: Imgs before send to sandblast shop, still left them there.

If need be, I might be willing to cover the cost of his board (depending on what my better half says, and how much it was, since I've totally forgotten the exact amount), given that you'll send it to me if he doesn't pay (me back for the cost of the board) by the time they're finished.
I would really like to have these in my hands, rather than waiting around for someone to pay

Question, are the CF plates coated after cutting out the switch holes?I'm pretty sure that was talked about in the interest check. The plates should be made out of a dense enough weave that they won't actually splinter. (IIRC, of course.)

Hmm, high speed cut using CNC router with sharp mill bit like our plate should not leaving any splinter, just some CF dust (that I cleaned off) since factory-made sheet have plenty of epoxy bond. I have no problem running my finger along edges and prying switches off the plates (will show you a video but not that I endorse this action).
But since you still have concerns, I will do CA sealing test and report around this weekend.
Would appreciate if we could have it sealed or whatever, just to be 100% safe. :thumb:

Here's the final fit test before heading to the sandblasting and anodizing factory
(https://scontent-arn2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpf1/v/wl/t35.0-12/12752210_1135053989838209_1184342522_o.jpg?oh=986e60878b8b242ab0a6b3e4792bcb0c&oe=56CA4AD6)
Sandblasting is already done and now we're queuing for anodising, the holiday holds up their previous works already also so it'd be somewhat a little inevitable delay, but expecting 1 to 2 weeks at most to get everything done :thumb:

Post by: foggyflute on Sun, 21 February 2016, 09:09:46
To-do list:
- Making an assembly tutorial, it's not easy (but not hard) since the four frame pieces are intentional CNCed at a 'press-fit' tolerance (NO GAPS) so no dust can get in the joins, you will need to apply some force at the right step :rolleyes:
- Prepare boxes and extras.
- Final assembly of each kit before shipping.
Regarding the edge sealing request:
I tried the CA glue sealing but hard to keep it to the edges only, especially when applied inside the switch holes. It ruined the look and add thickness that broke the assembly process. Sealing with wax is possible but not really do anything with your worry about splinter, just make it look a bit more shiny.
Like I said, the plate is made with plenty epoxy bond and fiberglass core so unless there's a strong force applied (like RC car collision, drone crash), there will be no splinter. My carbon plates are shipped with smooth edge and splinter free (checked and cleaned each of them by myself). If it happen to have those nasty splinter - I will ship you a new one, free of charge.

Next round please! 😆 I am thinking of changing the carbon back plate to acrylic diffuse plate already even though I missed the first round. Will definitely be in for a couple of them in the next round.You might have to get that cut specifically for this case. The plates look like they mount into channels on the aluminum frame, so I doubt that normal plates would fit.
Post by: Geekmie on Sat, 12 March 2016, 17:36:43
You're right. But I assume it shouldn't be too hard to cut acrylic plate. I could be wrong... it would be nice if there is an option for acrylic diffuse plate instead of carbon. But I will buy it anyway, carbon is nice too.Next round please! 😆 I am thinking of changing the carbon back plate to acrylic diffuse plate already even though I missed the first round.

Post by: KaminKevCrew on Sat, 12 March 2016, 17:46:55
Yeah. I assume that the slots are roughly 1.5mm (the recommended thickness for a metal/cf plate) so you'd have two options for acrylic. You could laser cut some 1.5mm acrylic, which would be far too soft and bendable, I think, or you could have some 5mm acrylic milled at the side down to 1.5mm acrylic. The only issue that I could see there (and this could be the same issue with the full thin plate) would be the possibility that the acrylic could break at the thin edges.You're right.

One other idea that I just came up with is that you could do a hybrid/half plate, where you use carbon on the edges, and acrylic in the middle. That way, the carbon could bear the brunt of the force that gets transmitted into the case, and the acrylic could be all along the middle for the looks!

Good idea! Maybe the easiest way is to just cut the CF plate as a frame and attach the acrylic underneath but I don't know what would happen to those feet parts. Or I guess the best thing to do now is crying to bazh for an acrylic version, haha.

Stack plate, acrylic plate with stainless steel frame around. I could do it, but what's your reason for not wanting to try out the cf plate? The springiness is awesome IMO.Acrylic plate is for board with underglow. CF is cool, I agree. I want CF too for my non-underglow keyboard. Having choice of acrylic plate is a nice add-on I guess.

guys, any pictures/render of how would the weaven with hhkb plate will look like? my assumption is that there will be two 'holes' on each on of the bottom row, since the plate is lower than the sidewalls. don't think it will look proper.I agree. I don't think this would go well with HHK layout even with proper plate. You have to change the frame design to cover the space nicely. But that kind of beats the purpose of using modular fame parts.
BTW, I really hope we can have green, purple and brown options for next round 😆

and these blockers would be very well received by other 60% kbd owners who want to block their bottom row ends to have proper hhkb layout.
Post by: FLFisherman on Thu, 17 March 2016, 10:12:04
It should be possible to design some aluminum blockers for a HHKB layout. No need to adjust the frame. Just screw them through the plate and perhaps the PCB.

Think little rubber washers would be sufficient for stopping that?

yeah it would look weird IMHO, even if I make the aluminum part to cover the missing place, it would still turn out to have weird shaped connected parts so I don't think HHKB is a good choice for this ;D

I assume that you guys are talking about the fit of the 2 plates into the rail? well the case right now is snug fit, I even have to sand down the edge of the plate to fit it in the rail (carbon plate doesn't have uniform thickness even if they're sold as 1.5mm, so they turned out to be varies from 1.5-1.8mm), next round we'll fix that with wider rails but either way it should have little to no affects to the fit since we designed this to have room merely for only an anti-slip mat to go between the PCB and the bottom, so the scenario is you always get a tight fit solid unit after assembling :thumb: (Of course we include the mat in the kit if you haven't noticed yet)

I designed an MX 1.00 space blocker for PCB-mounting. I had a couple of samples 3D-printed. They came out fine. They would cost about $4.50 each if I made them available on Shapeways. (I also designed 1.25 and 2.00 MX and 1.0 B/S versions.)Otherwise there is always this. :P

Of course we will not selling anything that rattle, have more faith pls.Not accusing you of that. :P
About hhkb style and winkeyless style, I will have custom bottom bar for that :) will fit with original parts of course. Power of modular design :cool:
What I meant is that if we keep the case like it is and design two blockers for the HHKB crowd (where you put another piece of aluminum on the plate that fits flush inside the empty space of the corner keys.
It's just susceptible to having a bit of play (and thus rattling) if it is not fixed to the case.

HHKB = custom side pair + hhkb plate

The design is new from ground up so there is a chance of mistakes or quirks I overlooked that only come to light in different real use situation. If that happen, I would like to fix it for who already purchased before making a second batch.
Also, as a start up keyboard company, we do have something else (entirely different) to show in the next week, so stay tuned ;)

First buyer feedback (local) is the kit received with damages, despite an inch thick bubble wrap around, and it was ding-free before shipping.
Definitely not the first feedback I'm looking for, he's only 2000km away so I would just redo what needed.
So nervous about the rest of them out there :'( please leave feedback right after you got yours.
Some normal update:
Done the assembly instruction (should have been done weeks ago but I have no time), will post it tomorrow.

Once everyone confirmed total number of damage parts, I will make replacements
Please also report with the picture of the box condition (for reference)
Both damaged cases involve EMS and local post. I do hope kit shipped with USPS and UPS (for CAD buyer) fare better. my proxy confirmed box was okay and no sign of damage when they arrived in US.

Dings, deformed edges on 6061 aluminium... I cant imagine what kind of force can go through that thick 4 layers of bubblewrap though, but it does. Second buyer from Malaysia also have one ding on the corner of side bar. The problem may widespread.Hopefully it will be fine. Still looking forward to the second round ;)

Pretty good. I have a couple of niggles that I'm about to send to Bazh and Foggy.Alright! I just got my case!How's the baby? ;)
Medium Edit: Alright! I made a quick little mockup of what the whole board will look like, since I had some time (note: These caps are not the caps I'm using for this board, I was just excited to give them a go, since they've been sitting in my desk for about 6 months at this point...)
[attach=3]
I do have a concern here though... It looks to me like the Carbon plate is pretty significantly off center, which you can see here:
[attach=5]
vs.
[attach=4]
One thing of note, which I totally forgot when I got the case, is that the case comes pretty loose feeling, but once you put everything in (the switches, and the PCB, with the foam) the case really stiffens up, so it should be pretty awesome!
Post by: foggyflute on Mon, 28 March 2016, 02:46:34
I put little room for them sideway since not all board have same position for dip switch so some adjustments may needed :)
Also, Bazh will address your issues in PM ;)
Post by: bazh on Mon, 28 March 2016, 03:01:51
Guys, don't hesitate to post pic of the case here and PM me if you have any problem, I'm more than glad will answers your questions and issues etc. We want to hear from you guys! ;)
Post by: KaminKevCrew on Mon, 28 March 2016, 05:25:16
Anyway, I just built the full board (I probably should have waited until tomorrow... It's past 3am here... Anyway, this thing is awesome! I'm seriously loving the CF plate. It makes for a really unique feel among the boards that I've been able to try and it's seriously yummy. I'm using Gateron Browns, with Zeal's clear tops. One other thing is that this board seems to be unusually quiet, which is really nice for when everyone else is asleep (like right now)
I'll do a better write up tomorrow, I think, but so far my impressions are really good! During my build, the only thing that bothered me is the fact that the cutouts for switch top removal aren't quite as precise as they could be. It wasn't anything to cause real concern, but there was definitely more friction on one side of some switches because of the carbon not quite leaving enough room. Other than that, it's a great board, and I love the feels, and the looks!
Please excuse the terrible photo. I thought I would snap a quick one to tease you guys, but I'm apparently too tired to take even a half decent photo right now. Better photos to come, and more text too!

Will there be any design change for round 2?
There will be some minor change in round 2:
-1.8mm track (currently 1.6mm) so no edge sanding on carbon plate (we currently do it on all plate because carbon thickness is not something very precise).
-Larger plate dimension - no wiggle before assembly (the current dimension is not really a problem, it's our design intention, but still lead to misleading about our accuracy)
-Stronger sandblast setting - the surface texture will stronger, no faint sign of toolpath like first batch.
-Colorchip for easy choosing anodize colors, new color also available with small extra cost.
-Improved packaging for parts safety.
-May have proxy of your choice and transparent shipping cost (not flat rate for everyone everywhere like right now, sorry).
Some feature we are working on to bring it up to be great modular system (may not available for round 2, not confirmed):
-Winkeyless bottom bar, and maybe HHKB side pair + plate set.
-Plexiglass window on bottom for ambient LED pcbs.
-Other type of stands (more angles, horizontal bar addon for who like put it on lap, etc...

Just a little tip next time if you must ship UPS Ground...Don't ship UPS ground to Canada :P
$0.72 tax paid in customs charges to Canada, $31.71 paid to UPS for helping me pre-pay that $0.72 aka "brokerage fee". It's disproportional for such a small customs charge. Of course, this could've been avoided if the case was declared a few dollars lower. Anything under $60CAD as gift or under $20CAD as merchandise would've been fine. I'm not going to complain about the duties and taxes, but other unknowing Canadian recipients might. *Forgot to mention, this was a $50USD declaration.
Anyways, onto feedback on packaging.
The box is fairly thin for international shipment. One big issue I saw from previous purchasers were the scratches on the bars. You normally get dents from bumps and such, but these were scratches. I was really curious why the aluminum was getting scratched until I saw the box. Thick box staplers. That was the issue. During transport, the staples would nick and scratch the side bars. Bubble wrap felt like ~2 layers on each side, which wouldn't be enough for such a small box.
(http://i.imgur.com/Mw9tbKT.jpg)
As for my particular case, I think it survived the journey without getting damaged. From the below pictures, I believe that these would be considered "machine marks". I don't think it would qualify as a severe shipping damage.
(http://i.imgur.com/af37LNC.jpg)
(http://i.imgur.com/xMxjQbH.jpg)
Anodizing on the top of the side bars both had a weird blemish under light.
(http://i.imgur.com/SxUwC3K.jpg)
A few minor imperfections in the epoxy for the base of the case. The one pictured stands out the most.
(http://i.imgur.com/UW6X4Ik.jpg)
Not pictured, but the case feet have noticeable anodizing marks on the exterior back of the slant. Not sure if you could move the anodizing hooks to the internal part. The feet also seem a bit loose un-assembled, not sure if it'll become more rigid when built. Still waiting on my PCB to arrive.
Post by: foggyflute on Thu, 31 March 2016, 17:39:12
The blemish on black side was slipped under my check, maybe lighting in the room, next time will check them under direct day light. This is bad enough for getting replacement part if you want to. Overall, we changing anodizing provider (better sandblast to hide machine marks, better color choices) so it will get better.
Sorry about the tax, did not know the 'brokage' was that bad, so usps should be the better choice?
This is the first production run from us so we will get better. We really appreciate you guys for being early-adopters for unknown vendor at remote place like this. Don't hesitate shoot a PM if any thing was not as good as expect, we will find a way to deal with all the problems.

Yup, they did not able to find better placing for anodizing hook, the design of the stand was not leave any better position for clamping them. We would add holes or something next time.
The blemish on black side was slipped under my check, maybe lighting in the room, next time will check them under direct day light. This is bad enough for getting replacement part if you want to. Overall, we changing anodizing provider (better sandblast to hide machine marks, better color choices) so it will get better.

Thanks -- It's odd that the blemish shows on the same areas on both black side bars.

95% of the time, USPS would be a better option for shipping items to Canada from USA.
Just also wanted to point out one design issue for 6x spacebar. It doesn't affect me since I don't use 6x spacebar, but in case someone does, it would need to be fixed for R2. The cutout isn't wide enough for the PCB mount stabilizer to fit through.
(http://i.imgur.com/RT24URO.jpg)
The feet also have some give in the cutout. I haven't assembled the kit yet since I'm waiting on a PCB, but I'm not sure if having a PCB pushing against the shelf liner will make it not move back and forth. Any recommendations on filling the gap?

Despite these issues, I'm really liking the light weight case. Would definitely bring it around with me once I get it built.
Post by: foggyflute on Sat, 02 April 2016, 20:05:37
In fact. We design with slide-in from the side in mind the first time, but then the mat prevent it so we did assembly it the way we show in pictorial.
I will have bazh answer for the cutout, maybe it got mistaken filleting in while doing some automation in CAD.
Now I see the blemish maybe due to sandblasting repelt at an specific angle. We are chaging both anodizing and sandblasting facilities next time so it will not really an issue for both replacements and round 2. New facility do both and did us a fantastic job on an unrelated projects, the spacegray was really great, I will show you guys pictures today.

when will the infos for R2 be up sir? still no wkl/hhkb layout huh?
We're already have blueprint for wkl but not tested it for real typing yet, hhkb still in work, need solution so the number of difference parts are minimum, also aesthetic.
Initial plan is waiting for report of damaged parts of round 1, shipping replacements and running round 2. Still not having feedback of 2 out of 9, hindered our planning.
Even if we don't have the feedback, ten pair of sidebars for replacement are already in production, shock-absorb foam and box are in the work. We have one week delay of everything due to Hùng Kings' Festival.
Regardless other matter, round 2 will start around the end of April, maybe along with our second project Lustro (which is limited released local in the next few days).

If you're looking for a foam liner to absorb bumps, I'd recommend Polyethylene Foam. Looks like this.

Is the timeline for the 2nd round still the end of April?
yeah we're still on track :P a little delay out of expectation but I assume we can still go as planed
Also
25 APR: Round 2 Prepair and Round 1 Replacing Parts Update
- We're working on solid foam package box for the next groupbuys.
- Waiting sucks. Regardless of the condition of the other Weaven that have not been damage confirmed, we're done making the replacement side bars. A little wait before those can be anodized (facility is busying at the time on a very big order) so special offer for everyone: if you happen to change your mind about the sidebars' color, PM me, no additional charge. Also, better quality promised.
- Zeal PC will be our proxy for NA orders on future buys including Lustro.
- Round 2 start in short, maybe will go along side with Lustro.

A few other things, there seems to be a broken image towards the end of the post, and the FAQ talks about the plate being universal, but it seems round 2 is now either ANSI or ISO.

Man if you did a "HHKB" version like the windows version, where you basically block the left and right control, but otherwise the 1.5/1/1.5/7/1.5/1/1.5 layout, I'm not sure I'd be able to resist.
A few other things, there seems to be a broken image towards the end of the post, and the FAQ talks about the plate being universal, but it seems round 2 is now either ANSI or ISO.
apart from the separate ANSI/ISO version, the plate is still universal as they both still cover the split backspace, stepped capslock, 6/6.25/7x spacebar layout, split right shift (right Fn), the only different is the enter and left shift so that would be no problem :thumb:

For non-default color options, do the 5 people have to be for the same part? I see another person chose Dark Blue as well, but for the Sidebars while I want Dark Blue Long Bars.I want dark blue and orange, so there's one more. ;)

Well a lot of people are on the "gunmetal" already (which is a dark grey color) so if you like it it most likely to make it into production :thumb:
We're expect to ship this in somewhere beginning of July, that's rough estimate, any changes will be updated so don't worry just yet ;)
I apologize if this has been answered before. If our color choices do not get the requisite 5 orders, will we be notified to change the colors? Is there any option to pay extra to make the custom colors happen regardless (depending on the price of course ;) )?

Well, sure... but how many anodized aluminum picture frames do you have that can house keyboards? :P And perhaps more to the point, why does that fact make it any less appealing? I have no issues with you disliking the design and I know this sounds rather antagonistic, but I'm just curious what you dislike about it. You are more partial to the standard tray style case (which is 'basically' just a box/tray, after all ;) )?

Round 1 blue was intent to be some kind of dark blue, like navy or indigo. Sky blue is something like a light blue :D

well the color appears to me look very much like a darker shade of cyan, no tone different, perharps we can compromise on that with 'Cyan' people ? A medium shade between the 2 is kind of work for me.Dark cyan works for me I guess. You can group us together, but the final color can be still open for discussion later. We have other teal people on the list. Wonder how their thoughts on this are~

If there is a round 3, I am hoping for brown. I didn't think about it until close to the end of this one - and by that point, I doubted it would get enough anyways... maybe next time though (and in the mean-time, I can appreciate the colors I chose this go-round).

Post by: bazh on Sun, 05 June 2016, 00:43:28
Hi guys, sorry for miscommunicate the last couple of days, my laptop's broken so things getting slow down a bit.
About invoicing progress: so far all of people who order winkeyless Weaven are the only to receive invoice. Next in plan is the rest of the Weaven and the Lustro order that does not come with assembling parts, people with assembling parts will be last since I have to calculate the total cost for parts too, sorry for that I hope you understand :(
Hope we can get the invoicing and payment done in next week ;)

Those who have already built a Weaven, what PCB did you use? Those planning a build in the future what PCB do you want to use?
Planning on using a WKL b.face. For that reason I'm really hoping the an acrylic back diffuser is possible

How does it compare to a FaceW, and where can it be purchased?

If you don't mind me asking, why did you choose the Weaven over the Lustro if you wanted an acrylic back?
I was originally going to go with a Lustro, but decided underside lighting just wasn't important to me and switched over the this instead - as such, I am planning on using a GH60 for my build.

B.Face can be bought from winkeyless.kr - compared to the FaceW, it offers underside RGB lighting; other features seem to be comparable between the two.

I got mine through LeandreN R3 but you can get them through winkeyless directly.
I don't have a face.w to compare but the b.face was really easy to set up.

I greatly prefer the look of the weaven and I wasn't planning on using the underglow. But if it's possible, and I know it's a long shot, adding a diffuser to the weaven would be icing on the cake.

Fair enough. I was just wondering because I saw it mentioned in the Lustro thread as well - for what it's worth, FoggyFlute (design/engineering for these projects) had this to say about acrylic and Weaven:
Quote
I will need to test the 1.5mm acrylic to see if it sturdy enough first, it really easy to crack and we also have to press the pcb down to the back plate with the anti-slip mat in between, that's how it was designed. Maybe an acrylic plate under skeletonized carbon/steel frame or cut out for led diffuse. I will working on that.

Agree. That's why I get both of them, haha :D
In fact, Weaven is more compact and easy to carry I think. Lustro could be a desktop keyboard like a piece of art.
An acrylic back of Weaven will make it awesome. After all, this is the point of modular design - diversity. So everyone can buy the module they like and make their perfect keyboard. I am totally sold to this idea and design.

Yup, I've been keeping up with both threads. That's why I'm just hopeful it is possible. If that skeleton idea works I'll be pretty excited. I imagine that looking brilliant. Hell, if any idea works I'll be on board.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to wait patiently at my door until the Weaven arrives.

Replacement for round 1 is done, most likely will be ship before round 2 order get done, these are still our first priority right now. This is not affecting the schedule for round 2 (and Lustro) though.
I already ordered for replacement parts and according to bazh my order was supposed to be shipped after round 2 order was done, but it's almost the end of June and I haven't seen anything yet. Just wondering if something is wrong.

Apologize for the delay, all replacement parts are still waiting for anodizing. We intend to anodizing along with first 10 of the round 2, but there's a change of media blasting material (going from 180 grit to 120 grit) lead to more wait.
Can I do anything for you to make up the wait?

Hey Bazh. Would it ever be possible to have a version of the plate made for Alps switches? Do you see that ever being in the works? :)
EDIT: After searching the thread, I see that this question has been asked already several times. My bad! :-X
Well unless I read it wrong that's still not confirmed. It was "in the works" for round 2, but I'm not sure if it was ever an option or not on the order form since no one has talked about it since then. At least that I'm aware of.

Is an Alps plate option available? I know there was talk of this in the past. Also, I'm guessing this will work with Hasu's Alps 64 pcb if the alps plate is an option, right?

Understood! I'm very excited. I guess I'll need to wait till round 3 for this then instead of jumping on an empty spot for round 2.

wkl in da house, tested and working.
Due to slide-around plates design, you gonna have bad time adjust the position of the plate before tightening the frame, if you are really anal(-retentive) and want the wkl block stay perfectly center between two 1.5x keys.
We're a little behind schedule on this since it take me 3 prototypes to get everything right.

otherwise i'll have to change my shipping address since i'll be moving into an apartment
We are waiting for parts comeback from sandblasting/anodizing service. It may take another week.
We need at least a week for sorting, confirmation and a few more days forcorrecting mistake (wrong color or failed QC parts). Another week to get them in packaging, shipping.
So it may arrive at ZealPC in the end of August, You can correct the address with us by then before got the separate bill for shipping :)

We're still waiting on it, it's already longer than our expect but just for sure I don't want to put any rush on them really because that may cause the production to get flawed somewhere with the good 'old "because you want it fast" blame so let them have their comfort run would be best I think.

...and that is after they receive them from the anodizing facility.
They still haven't mentioned them coming back and bazh has mentioned not rushing the facility doing it, so 2+ weeks after they get them back and it's already the 20th of August.

Without Bazh (who go back to Finland faster than scheduled), now that's lots of work for packaging alone.
And I even completely forgot to print labels before put one third of them in box... At least my wife agree to help me every evening, so hopefully I can ship them to Zeal next week.
Sorry for another delay. But we're getting close! I'm tring my best here!

The weaven is pretty spacious and will able to take any 60% pcb in the market.

Poker x and one b.face clone have resistor at one of the six screw post of Lustro. The other seem fine. Since weaven did not have any post, no problem at all.In case there is around 3 and I win a small lottery...

They really need to put usb port in one universal position though, it all over the place between boards, thats why I expand usb hole in weaven in round 2.

Sent from my LG-H830 using Tapatalk
I could be mistaken, but I don't think he meant that Weaven has shipped, but rather that he is done sorting and boxing them and has the Lustro left to do before shipping. I believe he is shipping them both at the same time (at least to Zeal for NA). That said, I would love to be wrong and find out he has already sent out the Weaven.

Im sorry that you are right. Will ship them at the same time to cut the shipping cost. Few more day if I can keep the pace. Will have more man power from next groupbuy. I was not expect sorting and box them cost that much labor.

Weren't these supposed to ship out mid-to-late Sept? :confused:
Invoices went out early June and said eight weeks - so early August.
Edit:
Paid 02 June and the invoice read: "Estimating turn over time less than 8 weeks."

In the next couple of days some of you (non-CONUS) should start receiving pm regarding shipping cost. NA order will most likely be shipped last since we have to pack all them in a large bulk parcel and then get shipping invoice last by ZealPC once it arrived.

If you remember the update some times ago I have mention foggy had caught ill, turned out it was worse than a normal flu, it's been weeks that he's been in and out of the hospital. Currently dude still in the hospital, this explained the delay works.
I just learnt about his condition last week since I'm now not in Vietnam, the communication is somewhat limited. I have my friends contact him and he's alright, expect to get out soon.
Regardless of that, we can't just sit and wait, I also worry about finishing this buy. I have asked my friends for help and our friend pear_voz have agreed to lend a hand. He will travel to Ho Chi Minh City on 15th to help out with the shipping. In the meantime if foggy could recover sooner we continued it with no further reason to hold up.
This is an unfortunate news I would never want to give you. It is bad for both, because waiting sucks. On our ends we also don't to keep the stock for too long since it only costs us more on storage fee as time expand, and storing nearly 200 cases is really nervous for **** happen.
I'll keep you updated and communication with the buys, thank you for supporting us and hope you would understand. We're doing our best to finish this as soon as possible to move on with other project we have planned.

Seven months when the estimated time was two. GH60's poor outcome is no reason to dismiss the lack of communication and poor handing of this buy - for heaven's sake foggy was in hospital and his own partner didn't even know about, that is no way to run a buy. PayPal protection is also ending in a couple of weeks and people more reputable than these guys have screwed over the community.
Personally, I am just waiting on mine to sell it at this point - it's purple shorts / stands and gunmetal longs with the wkl blockers if anyone wants it.

Then you are a far more understanding person than I am. If you and I were trying to present ourselves as a reputable business and I was in the hospital, I would make it a point to have someone email and let you know - even if they didn't know who you were. This is the digital age and being in different countries doesn't pose the same obstacles it did thirty years ago.
They took what is most likely tens of thousands of dollars (one and a half per Lustro, two and a quarter per Weaven) from people. To me, that demands certain responsibilities - to include attentative communication; between themselves and towards their customers.
Post by: Elaeagnifolia on Wed, 16 November 2016, 14:02:37
Be aware that this cost does not include shipping which will be a separate invoice from Bazh/Zeal? whenever the Weaven actually ships out.

It sucks that this is getting delayed so much. I was and am still looking forward to getting mine but my Paypal protection ends on 12/4. I'm not comfortable leaving that much money in limbo so if does not ship before that date, I'll ask for a refund a couple of days before (or if I have to, I'll open a dispute)
Mine ends 11/28 - a big part of me going in on this buy was that it would ship before protection ran out...

Oh I plan to - I messaged bazh earlier, though he has been on in nearly a week now. Give that a few days before trying too contact him through PayPal. 250$ is just too much time gamble with.

Start a dispute via message in PayPal (starts the first "timer"). With no response, escalate it to PayPal then. I'll honestly probably do the same. The message will give foggyflute an opportunity to respond and/or take action, at least. I'd rather they mail to me directly, tbh.

They're sub-contracting the manufacture of parts, so they become dependent on others - never great and if I recall correctly there was a hold up (either on this or lustro or both) due to manufacturer/supplier mistake.
Fifty percent of the "business" has been hospitalised - what would happen to massdrop - what would happen to their output under such circumstances do you think?
[shrug]Oh, and I still haven't got my plate (and never will) from the 2012 phantom group buy [/shrug] if the amount of money invested in a blind purchase like this is of concern to you, then don't do it in the first place. I'm not saying throw money away wilfully, but have a think about how likely something is to come to fruition and work from that; the phantom buy was (mostly) successful so I gambled the GH60 would be as good or better - that backfired - the problems with GH60 made me doubt the SmallFry kit's viability so I avoided [...], while Ivan had done a number of key cap group buys he had never done a keyboard group buy... I think you see where I'm going with this. Anything where the goods are not currently produced is a gamble on time, and on finances - will it be finished on time, or at all.
The very nature of the method leaves its self open to many, many failure paths... manufacturers quotes will usually come with provisos on material cost and etcetera, postage rates can suddenly change without warning - and by a massive swing, manufacturers can go bankrupt - there goes the money that was put into them and no product will be forthcoming, people can get ill, people can die!

I don't know if you noticed foggy's avatar note; but it's "Amateur Maker". Amateur, not professional mind. Not a fully set up and prepared business with an existing process stream, or fall back communication routes.

I suppose you and I just have different expectations when it comes to doing business. While delays are to be expected, so are genuine shipping estimates in the first place - the manufacturing delay you reference was solved more than eight weeks ago (the entire estimate for this buy!) on its own and I while I empathize with "fifty percent of the business being hospitalized" I do not place faith in a group that cannot even communicate these problems with each other for weeks - let alone their customers.
Whether they want to call themselves amateurs, professionals, or even hobbyists, once they take money for a product they become - above all that - a business. Especially if they profit from it. With that come certain expectations that they need to meet and when they fail, they should expect customers to try an mitigate any losses - in this case through PayPal's protection.
Consumers laying down for this treatment and passing it off just lowers the expectations for future buys.

You are not a customer but a participant in a group buy. Different rules apply.
We are pooling resources to get something made that otherwise wouldn't be made. If you are uncomfortable with that then limit yourself to buying from stores or Massdrop.
I lost my fair share in groupbuys gone wrong (Miami Nights, TX-1800, probably more) I've been in this game long enough to know sometimes life gets in the way and a buy gets delayed. Oftentimes the organizer fails to communicate in these cases but if they are dependant on the updates from their supplier as well they just can't say much more than "No update.". And even if they do people will still ***** at them.
Now we have seen pictures that these were produced and people (including me) have already received theirs. Either you are patient and wait for them to ship, aware that GBs in general have a risk of passing the Paypal deadline.
Otherwise start a dispute if you want, hope Bazh has enough cash lying around to refund you and say goodbye to your board since they will have to sell it to someone else to fund it.
TL;DR: Do what you have to do or be patient and praise the shipping gods.

You are exactly right. Once you take money from not just a single person, but an entire group of people, you not only take their money, but you also take their faith and confidence that you are going to do right by them. Sure, delays are bound to happen, but like you said, this is the digital age and how difficult is it to to send out an email, (or ask a friend or family member, significant other etc, etc) and CC everyone who was involved with the buy just to give them piece of mind? Being shady is certainly not the way to go...

While I get that people are antsy with the PayPal deadline closing in, I would suggest doing what you feel you have to do without going around telling people they should too.

This.
I would love it if someone back out of their order and bazh has to sell theirs. I'd definitely grab one :D
But this is right. If you want to backout and file a dispute then do it. Don't influence other participants negatively just because you do.

Yeah I saw it. But I'll just wait for this buy to end. You never know, it might end well for everyone despite all this stuff that is happening :)
Stay positive people :thumb:
Despite the delays, I'm still fairly positive that the buy will finish. The reason I'm selling my spot though is because I have waaaay too many keyboards (Specifically 60%s too!). Joining this group buy was an impulse buy that I really shouldn't have made haha. Even if I get the board, I'd just sell it anyway. :(
That's why I was asking to see if anyone wanted to buy my spot, so that the board will directly go to the person who wants it instead of to me first (And upping the price I would sell it at due to cost of shipping). :thumb:
If you're still interested in buying one, PM me and let me know! I'd be happy to work things out with you. :)

Would love to get it directly shipped to me when it is finished. But my wallet can't take it anymore as of now :( Unfortunately, I just have joined the recent Ergodox Infinity drop and wouldn't know when my little wallet can recover again. But I'll pm you when I do :D

I'm probably going to either cancel my order or sell my spot (orange sides, gun metal top/bottom) if no developments happen by the end of the upcoming week. Perfect for the recently-shipped GMK Carbon. If anyone's interested, feel free to PM.
Ohh more color choices for me lol. Wish monies would come to me now ;D :))

As you may well known from Bazh's last update, foggy has felt sick, so I'm here to help and take over the handling and shipping work.
About foggy, dude have been diagnosed with autoimmune disease, which is kind of serious health problem if you don't know yet. Poor guy got so bad luck that the disease kick in at the trachea, which cause him hard to breathe and have to go to the hospital like everyday. Even Bazh has not caught up with his condition for foggy has very little communicate with everyone, even friends here in Vietnam, even I didn't know about it till Bazh's recently update and asking. So there's that, the GB was delayed for this but let's hope the guy will be okay and hopefully the doctors were wrong.
Back to the GB, I've just arrived in HCMC yesterday, after a day visiting foggy now I has had access to the office, everything is still here hopefully. I'll start packing things and quoting price for you guys immediately. There's a lot of keyboard cases here and fortunately foggy has done all the prepare work so hopefully things will go smoothly. I'll do my best to help so bare with me if it's a bit slow or something I'm not sure. It's the first time I deal with this much product at once.
Cheers,
Pearvn.

Thanks for the update. So sorry to hear what happened on Foggy. Hope he can get better soon.
Now I guess people will be counting on you, Pearvn. Hopefully we can keep things moving ASAP. I believe we all want to make this GB successful. Thanks for your help.

PM sent! If anyone else has an order for a Weaven that's similar to the OP (WK ANSI plate with grey top/bottom pieces, black sides, and black legs) that they're no longer interested in, I'd be very interested in taking your spot - I'm all but certainly in for round 3 otherwise ;D

Weaven is one of the things I was most excited for keyboard wise this year. An update would be much appreciated.
Don't think there is too much to update for NA man - he says he shipped it 25 Nov, Zeal hasn't received it. Gotta be in the middle now...

Things are likely stuck in customs. I kinda knew this would happen considering they're using someone in Canada to proxy without thinking about this part. :)
I kinda wish there was just some communication...I expect every GB to be months late, but having basically no communication for months is unacceptable, IMO.

Are there any updates on this or Lustro GB? No updates in over a month. Last update was things were being shipped soon.
Last time I hear from pear_vn was 2 weeks ago. He said the weaven and lustro were shipped, but they're stucked at custom for months.

Please let me know if you get any updates from this, my deadline for reporting a problem is on the 9th. If we had updates I wouldn't feel like doing this but the lack of communication really bothers me and I'd rather use the money for the board for other things instead of waiting for months with no board.

I envy you guys. I missed my deadline on December 6. To be fair though, at the time Pear and just told us that it was shipped so I probably wouldn't have filed a dispute.
If someone in charge of this GB would simply chime in and let us know what's going on then all this panicking wouldn't be happening. At least try to get some information for us who have paid a large sum of money. This just feels like **** being ignored.

I asked pear directly if everything had been shipped to Zeal and that satisfied me. But when a month later Zeal says that he hasn't even heard from pear about the shipment then I start to worry. I'd hope that when you expect someone to receive a large shipment that you would let them know.

Sorry I just come back from my holiday trip despite stuffs not getting done yet because the trip is planned months ahead.
As for the last time I post, pear_voz did come and help but he didn't get enough time and still have business with his own company so he had to leave soon. Good thing all the boxes then have been moved to new place just waiting to be transfered to the post office.
(https://scontent-arn2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t35.0-12/15820879_1288893777798575_1319077632_o.jpg?oh=e9f78c6a178502d24cb21ec9584de5c2&oe=587B1F54)

Here's 2 large box, one of which will go straight to Zeal. Other is for Sherry order and non-CONUS order.
Since pear_voz has left for his hometown, we've been looking for some one to hire to complete the shipping stuff. You know it's not like I just hire some random guy since this is a large number of keyboard with (relatively) high value so. Anyway, we had one will do it. The boxes now currently sit at our friend's office, who also have been out of town because he's on an Intel's event for PC modding, which took places some days ago and now they're on special trip after-event. Expecting him to come back in the next couple of days then we can proceed. Also, pear_voz will continue to handling more directly than I will since he's closer thus the timezone would be more appropriate to work on the matter.
Please I know this is unacceptable that the buy is way too long now, but please believe in us. This is a very unfortunate situation we have and I, as some one who just start to get into the market, is very frustrated right now, kinda panic. We will deliver our products as promised since there's no reason the product won't come to you, it's just a matter of bad luck keep happening. I have to work out everything remotely so things just not going as smooth as I thought it would be.
We're definitely moving forward as we're still keyboard lovers and still have many more things we want to do up our sleeves. We'll sort this out at our best for the moment.
Again this is beyond embarrassing, I'm deeply sorry everyone affected by the delay for the inconvenience, hope you understand the situation I am currently in. Please have faith in us that we're doing everything to deliver these buys.

The last few days I've been reevaluating the options since I still didn't feel like hand over the process to some one who's not much familiar with the GB concept and this forum. So I think I would ask for help for sorting and handling from people on here (and in the US). The idea is to ship the whole parcel with all of your case to the proxy so he can help me double check on the sorting and then shipping.I already in talk with Sherraton (Originative) about this and he agreed to help. I haven't asked Zeal (as the original planned proxy for the GB) yet because I felt like the extra work is just too much to ask for, dude has been awesome supporting us from the start. :D
If you're all ok with the new solution then I'll proceed. Then the shipping scene is:
- NA orders will pay parts of VN-US and US domestic shipping fee as planned before.
- non-NA orders will only pay from-US shipping fee, the VN-US fee of these orders are on us.
Please tell me your opinion on the matter, would you be okay with this, and would you be okay if we go with this with Sherraton?

Would Sherraton be charging us for the VN to US shipping or would that be through you? I ask because I live very close to Originative and might be able to pick mine up. I also don't want to cause too many headaches though.
The less time it spends in the hands of USPS/Fedex/UPS/DHL the better.

The last few days I've been reevaluating the options since I still didn't feel like hand over the process to some one who's not much familiar with the GB concept and this forum. So I think I would ask for help for sorting and handling from people on here (and in the US). The idea is to ship the whole parcel with all of your case to the proxy so he can help me double check on the sorting and then shipping.I already in talk with Sherraton (Originative) about this and he agreed to help. I haven't asked Zeal (as the original planned proxy for the GB) yet because I felt like the extra work is just too much to ask for, dude has been awesome supporting us from the start. :D
If you're all ok with the new solution then I'll proceed. Then the shipping scene is:
- NA orders will pay parts of VN-US and US domestic shipping fee as planned before.
- non-NA orders will only pay from-US shipping fee, the VN-US fee of these orders are on us.
Please tell me your opinion on the matter, would you be okay with this, and would you be okay if we go with this with Sherraton?
Would Sherraton be charging us for the VN to US shipping or would that be through you? I ask because I live very close to Originative and might be able to pick mine up. I also don't want to cause too many headaches though.
The less time it spends in the hands of USPS/Fedex/UPS/DHL the better.
Sherry told me he only ship the case and take money from me so I guess I'll be the one to send invoice after all.

In that case, it would be too complicated to do the local pickup. I'm all for Sherraton doing the shipping though.
Please let us know what you decide as soon as you can. Those of us that have Zeal holding orders for us will have to let him know.

That's fine with me, although it's not exactly clear why we have to change proxies. Whatever gets the boards to the correct place.
Ah to clarify, it's because now we're not only need proxy but handling and double check on sorting. Honestly I can still ask Zeal to do it but it's extra work so I'm not sure, plus Sherry also already have order in this. Reason why change to Originative, second to that is that both of them are established vendor on here with good credibility, so I feel more confident in handling the situation to 1 of them.
But that's why I have to ask, will you be okay, otherwise I can ask other people, including Zeal, anyone in US in this buy feeling like can help me with this are welcome.

The other option available is to let pear_voz continue with the handling/shipping since he plan to come to our place next week and this time he'll be able to stay for a month (that's what I've been told). If we go this route then everything would proceed as first planned (Zeal NA proxy, non-NA order shipping from Vietnam)
As long as everything gets sent to Sherraton I don't think there will be a problem. But if something is missing or damaged then it might be more of a hassle to get replacement parts over to him. I'm still voting for sending the parts to Sherraton though.

I vote for getting everything out of VN and into Originative's hands ASAP. It looks like a lot of the headache originates from the fact that it's really hard to get a handle of things when it's being done in VN. Getting it in a more controlled environment should help a lot.

Yeah the problem is sudden lacking of people whom I can trust to work on the GB atm, so handling over to someone with higher credibility to the community is something I would prefer to do rather than hiring random people that I don't have direct control to.

bazh, what's the update on the shipping? Have these gone to Originative yet?
Last "update" I have seen (from Sherry in the Lustro thread):
Participants,
I tried to get in touch with bazh the last couple of days. He said he would have it shipped this week on February 21st, but I have not gotten a reply from him since. I'll try to send an email to see what's up.
They seem to talk a bit more in that thread, so I recommend keeping an eye there as well (both should be shipping together last we heard).

Yeah I replied on that Tapatalk thread. If you want greenish Cyan the ones labeled Cyan are the ones in the second link, If you want a lighter blue than most blue LEDs I got the Ice blue ones from DH Gate in the 2x3x4 variety. haven't found in 1.8mm. They do seem to make some contact with my Hydro set so beware YMMV.

Thanks! I'll probably end up getting both colors to see which goes better with the board.
Since they're the 2x3x4 size I'll put them inside the switch to avoid clearance issues with GMK. I've done that with some UV LEDs on a previous build with good success.

As far as I'm aware, all RGB clear tops fit perfectly. Some of the older gateron clear tops wouldn't close properly without a little bit of trimming. I've never used the older gateron tops so I'm not sure what needs to be trimmed though.

Damn, didn't think to look at plate))) I did not notice that TKL :DNo, it's not R3 :D it's a concept of the new Spectal keyboard, a tenkeyless version of Weaven.

Still no tracking?
Sherry has the boards but hasn't gotten to shipping them yet.
Thanks, but unfortunately I am in this side of the world, so there is no way sherry have my weaven
IIRC, we voted to have Sherry receive EVERYTHING, even international shipments, to get things into a more controlled environment. Unless that changed afterwards.

We had few designs for weaven r3 but still not decided which one to go with. But I don't expect we run R3 sooner than August/SeptemberI hope 65% version would come out, would you consider to post vote post at IC board?

It looks like people in the Lustro thread are receiving their cases from Sherry. I was just wondering if anyone with a Weaven order had heard anything or gotten invoiced for shipping yet?
I haven't gotten an invoice yet. I'm sure he'll get to them soon though.

Still got no trackingPls wait for few days man, the keyboard was sent and we have a ton of receipts from a lot of couriers and we're unable to sort it now. The reason I haven't sent the payment request is I don't know how much does it cost to send yours, so just wait a bit, few peoples received their package but haven't pay the shipping fee because of this.

You said orders are open till March 30th but I don't see where to order. I missed round 1 and I do not want to miss round 2 since this is my "end game" 60% case. :thumb:
That was May of last year. You've missed R2, but Sherry may have some up on his site after everything gets sorted (he may just have Lustro though, not sure).

I'm not sure if you had specifically requested differently, but from what I remember, it was decided that every single order (even orders outside of USA) will go to Sherry. This is because things were not in a controlled state in VN, as there was nobody there who could be relied upon to handle this group buy.
Based on the above, you should also be getting your tracking number from Sherry. Someone do correct me if I'm wrong.
And if it's of any consolation, I live in USA and have still not gotten my shipping invoice.

Hey guys, I just wanted to let you guys know that I'll be invoicing the Weaven this week. Sorry about all the delays, but we have been handling our group buy fulfillment and finally have majority of it finished.

Got both Weaven and Lustro today, but didn't get the zealios switch or stab, anyone know if those come separately?
Assuming you're in the US I'd imagine they'd come from Zeal. He had my order on hold then I messaged him about it once Weaven/Lustro arrived with Sherry.
Post by: sherryton on Fri, 12 May 2017, 14:00:03
Thank you for your patience. I have invoiced a few of you. As for the rest, I'll mostly like you invoice you this weekend or early next week.

Tried putting an O-ring over it but during assembly the O-ring inevitably moves when trying to piece it all together. I ended up just pull the little rubber button off of the bottom, I was still able to press it just not as easily however closing the case will no longer press it.
Anyone built this with GH60?
Post by: xandr on Fri, 26 May 2017, 06:17:44
While I received my order in October, I got the wrong parts, because apparently me changing my order was only processed half. I ended up with black long sides and red shorts/feet instead of everything black. I contacted Bazh by PM back then and he said he'd try to get me the black parts, but it would take a while. I haven't heard from him since - tried PMing him a few weeks ago with no luck.
Alternatively, if someone has black short sides and feet and would rather want them in red, I'd be up for a trade. :)

Got mine, built it, and putting it together and avoiding the button on the bottom of my GH60 from pressing was damn year impossible.

I did. You'll have to desolder the button to final assemble, and keep the button on to program. You can then set a hot key to put the board into boot loader mode.
So, who is in charge of this whole thing now?

Anyone have a sound test for one of these bad boys? Also is the plate soft or stiff? Wondering whether I should choose linears or ergo clears.

Both cameras I have tried to increase gain (increase the volume) in my quiet room which makes these sound louder than they are. :'(
Other boards:
1. Weaven. Carbon fiber plate, 78g tactile Zealios with GMK keycaps. Foam inside
2. Leopold FC660M. MX Clears on steel plate. Thick PBT keycaps. Bitumen mat inside.
3. Clueboard. Matias Quiet Click on aluminum plate. Thin DCS profile ABS keycaps.
4. Duck Orion TKL. Vintage MX Clears on stainless steel plate. GMK
Quiet to loud (to my ears): Clueboard > Leopold > Orion > Weaven. Still not that loud and I'd say the Orion and the Weaven are really close in sound and not that bad compared to my Déck Legend for example. :P
It's just that most of my boards tend to be very quiet.

To add a bit to that, boycotting Oco while at the same time continuing to support Triumvtek’s work (through Zfrontier) seems a bit backwards to me.Sherry was just a proxy who bought some extra inventory just like every other participant.
