Orion TKL Group Buy

[JaccoW]

Does anyone know how to program commands like volume up, Play/Pause and the like?

same question here, those multimedia commands were stated as for MAC only in the keymapper, any idea how to make it works in windows?
BTW, I am really interested in your acrylic plate work there JaccoW, have you figured out how to make that glow like Duck' orion? I think the frosted acrylic with 4mm would work, but it's just a guess. 

Exactly. But perhaps there are certain macros built into Windows that do the same?

I will get back to the plate in a few weeks. Just came back from my vacation and I need to finish up a thesis first. But I won't forget about it.

These are the inserts we're talking about

Shipping costs:
If you think shipping by padded envelope is safe enough and if it fits the req., then it will be like $3.5 to US and $6-7 to international.  This will include the cost of padded envelope.

Did anybody ever figure out what size screws are being used?

I don't know how to identify fasteners. I'd also really like to know so I can add that info to my build log.

Crosspost from the Lightsaver V2 Group Buy thread.
I finally received the inserts and frosted them.

End results


No inserts


Clear inserts


Frosted inserts

There we go! As you can see it really helps in the diffusion of light

orion is out of stock on the website, been excited for a bit lol.. oh well.

[henz]

anyone interested in selling their case ?

[LONGZILLA]

Did anybody have issues getting their LEDs working? I just got around to soldering a few on, but they aren't lighting up

I was able to toggle the side-LEDs on/off by hitting MFN x 3 + F5... but the same doesn't seem to have an effect for any of the ones I added myself to the alphas.

[tjweir]

I sanded my Viper inserts with 320 grit and I'm happy with the results, good tip.

Edit: oh gross, messy desk.

Edit 2: cropped my grossness out.

I can't make out any details about the bottom. Can you tell it's clear from the shadow?

It looks more reflective inside the frame than out but I could be totally off on this and it could just be a picture of the case top without a bottom (but the rumors floating around claim it'll be acrylic or PC bottom)
 

Edit: on second thought it looks like my eyes betrayed me... I was mistaken LOL... it looks like its just a picture of the top case... doh!

[Lastpilot]

I think I can see where you're coming from.

Dude, I've been freaking out about this post since this morning, I am all for speculation lol. I also hope for a re-release of the Unicorn all acrylic housing. DUCK!!! Show us more pictures already!

Oh ****... I just noticed another giveaway... the grain of the wood is not as defined inside the frame (maybe)!

Also, right under the C in your picture is a streak that looks like refracted/reflected light from what presumably is the clear bottom 0.o

But yeah.... I need to see moar... nao!

[metalliqaz]

don't tease me

Dude, yeah that was the shadow thing I thought you were talking about. Kinda weird.


Well if anything's been revealed it's the thickness of the top casing. You can see that from the bridge between left arrow and right ctrl that the casing doesn't go too deep. Which is something we only see with layered cases sooooo.....

Edit: Realized I'm being stupid, that bridge is always thin no matter what....back to square 1 lol.









and HL3.

Oh God... if this comes in a frosted version my pants are going to 'splode

Layers confirmed.

It could be a clear Acrylic bottom case. But it could also be the limited depth of field. Notice how the legends on the keycaps aren't in focus either. My guess is he just propped it up on a book or something to get that floating effect

The pcb is connected to the top case through the plate. No need to put a giant wedge underneath. ;)

Not sure how I feel about the on-face LEDs but that new base looks really nice. I would love the chance to order just the bottom if they are compatible.

Just did a google translate, those on-face LEDs seems to indicate which layout is used. IMO it's better than the blinking in-switch LED on the Esc key .
Both the aluminum and acrylic bottoms look wonderful, hopefully duck will include those acrylic inserts this time in the GB. I wonder if duck would let us get 2 kinds of bottom for just 1 kit?

[yicaoyimu]

Make it happen, please!

[bueller]

Yeah I think I could scrape the cash together for a V2, always wanted a custom TKL!

That's lovely!!      I really hope there is a Group Buy on geekhack for this, I would love to get one. 

[Fnzzy]

Oh no, it is almost everything I want. 84 key, available in dark grey, I can tolerate those acryl pieces between top and bottom case, but unfortunately they added weird indicators to the top case Not a fan of those gimmicks. Here is to hope that there is a version without those or else I have to wait for the next TKL group buy.

This board is really solid and a lot quieter than my other boards with Clears. Not even a ping.
The Acrylic plate doesn't seem to be doing much. Perhaps tonight I will see more.

I like that the V2 is slimmer than the original. Not much a fan of the top LEDs.

With so much Orion #hype I had to share mine:

Edit: awww, what's wrong with the YouTube embedding? 

[Data]

It might work if you convert your URL to regular HTTP protocol.

[metalliqaz]

I did. Tried all sorts of combinations. It works on Tapatalk but not in my browser

[HoffmanMyster]

I did. Tried all sorts of combinations. It works on Tapatalk but not in my browser

It's a known bug, ever since converting the site to https.    I'm not sure when it will be fixed, but I do hope it's soon.

If you click the shield in the upper right corner (Chrome) and 'load unsafe scripts', it will show the embedded YouTube video.  It will then hide again on the next page you view, however.

[quochung1989]

I have this trouble. Then my chrome can't run. So I have to uninstall it & re-install. It run well after. I am not sure but you can try.

It's almost identical to the KMAC, except for the backlighting.  I know because I wrote support for both into mine.
