edit: Decided to go with HHKB top, all the brass options, and where not available the new Microarc Oxidation technology you guys talked about. :)
Post by: Unforgivable on Sun, 30 July 2017, 20:14:07
I had a few questions:
-The standard PCB's can come with QMK too?
-Just to be sure, the HHKB top is for the 1/1.5/7/1.5/1 bottom row layout, correct? I'm just double checking because the render shows the 6u version of the top.
-Also, is the only difference between founders edition and normal edition a numbered weight? If you don't have a Founders Edition, your weight will be clean?
-Also, will all brass parts be coated to prevent tarnishing? There was no option for that, so fingers crossed.
I may have to message you later for some changes, as I'm sure I goofed a bit!
Edit: Are there any color samples? I was wondering what shade of Purple was going to be used.

Post by: gnmar2723 on Sun, 30 July 2017, 23:13:28
Just a suggestion, you should probably put none or 0 on the extras cause some people might misclick or change their mind in the middle of the form. Might cut down on the forms being submitted
I did this too and ended up reloading the form. I think it's silly how google doesn't let you un-click it.
Either way, adding an option for 0 should resolve this.

You can re-map to turn some keys to arrows. We will not support 1u arrows.

Yea. You made it!
Can we go back and change our options after we've submitted the form?
yea. You can change your options. Or you just need to re-submit another form and note that it's a resubmission.
In for a founders edition HHKB layout with standard PCB. White microarc top and bottom, black middle, white microarc weight, black name plate, carbon fiber plate. Pretty excited.
Thank you!
FINALLY. Glad this is happening!
:thumb:
PM sent to see if I can add on a custom text additional name plate to my order
I will read your PM. But the text should not be too long. :p
Is there a album or anything where I can see all the different colors for the aluminum case?
You can see the colors here: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=87572.550
But the colors will be different a little bit. Because we will use another Aluminium and another surface treatment.
Post by: jhoang on Mon, 31 July 2017, 04:10:32
Wondering if it is possible to buy the founder edition from you on Taobao? I don't see an option there...
neither the standard PCB version
No. Founders Edition only available on GeekHack and Reddit.
Submitted for founders and lots of brass options... Still on the fence if I really want it because lots of brass=more price haha
This buy should be amazing none the less :thumb:
Haha. Thank you! :thumb:
HHKB, brass, AND QMK. Very excited about what's going on here.
:thumb:
Hope I got everything right, sped through that form haha
Yea, you can edit it later. When I post the table details. No worries.
Order submitted ;D
Thanks! :thumb:
What part of the case is numbers for founders edition?

It will be engraved on Counterweight. :cool:
I notice a few gaps between the pieces on the prototype. Are those sorted out on the final version?
Yea. It has been fixed!. ;D
Post by: jhoang on Mon, 31 July 2017, 04:18:57
Yeah had to make sure I got in on this buy, but just went with regular layout because hhkb ****s with my problem of wanting things symmetrical.Ah. I will update the render photo for HHKB layout later. Actually it will be 7u spacebar.
Just a suggestion, you should probably put none or 0 on the extras cause some people might misclick or change their mind in the middle of the form. Might cut down on the forms being submitted

It will be more darker than E8.
Does the hhkb top use a 6u spacebar? If so why? Every other hhkb custom uses 7u and looks better imo because symmetrical...
edit: and where am I supposed to find a 6u spacebar wire?
HHKB will use 7u spacebar. The render photo is our first design. I have designed another one. I will update the photo later. :p

Yes! 7u spacebar confirmed!

Yea. That's it! FE edition will be included a BRASS Name Plate. :p

We will polish the brass parts. And we maybe coat a nano surface on them.

I also keep going back and forth on the layout. I've been leaning towards HHKB, though I've never tried it. I just built my zeal60 with split right shift and I know I can adjust to that. I think I could get used to the rest of the changes and I know I never use the menu or right ctrl, so that's no big deal. My real concern is just how hard it will be to switch back and forth. Can those of you using hhkb still use ansi easily?
That said, I'm still thinking HHKB, because if nothing else I'm buying a white case with black accents for looks and hhkb will look better. Out of curiosity, could we purchase both tops/plates? (probably too expensive to be sensible, but you never know).
Post by: nickheller on Tue, 01 August 2017, 01:56:46
Which style is everyone getting? I keep going back and forth between the center and side ports. (I don't care about standard pcb compatibility) I just can't decide which I think would look better.In for centered USB, standard top, black bottom, silver middle, black top, red plate and name thing. I have personally had multiple mx boards in hhkb layout and always find that I would rather just use the HHKB, so going for standard this time.

(I don't care about standard pcb compatibility) I just can't decide which I think would look better.White apple anode and brass everything else with SS plate and hhkb top. I love the hhkb layout and I use multiple boards a week without it, my absolute favorite layout. Also centered usb because it was the original design and the case is more optimized space wise.

I went for the center USB for this order to match my upcoming E8-V1. I think center port look nicer aswell and I'm glad that the PCB will be available on an eshop for purchase later. (I also want to buy more name plates in the future so I hope the shop will have them as well ;))
Went for the HHKB layout and I've not had problems with it along with ansi.
My E6-V2 consists of these config:White anodized top + bottom in HHKB style, Brass middle and Brass counterweight... It's gonna be THICC! :cool:

I am in the E8-V1 buy and could not be more excited about getting that board. These guys have been really innovative and I love the finishes they have offered as well as the chance to personalize the board with lots of color combinations and custom engraving.
However...
1) we have not seen those E8s in the wild yet.... would have been really nice to have one data point on a successful board delivery before deciding to jump in round two or not. Such is life, I suppose… I can get over that and the production pictures look awesome. I personally do 100% believe in the E-Team to deliver high-quality boards.
2) communication has not been stellar. Through the (expected, obviously) delays, we've been a bit left for want of information. The assembly invoices were more than a bit confusing… I got one when not asking for assembly and it seems that some folks are still wondering about assembly details as boards are scheduled to start shipping in the next couple of weeks. There are a couple posts of frustration in that thread regarding open questions/unanswered messages while this thread was being posted.
You should know that I am a pathological optimist and it is usually my challenge to temper that. I very much love this design and the board and as I said, I'm lusting. I suppose I just want some assurance from jhoang, etc that the buy will be run with just a bit more attention than the E8.

This is a gorgeous keyboard... I'm lusting. I'm drooling. I'm a little concerned.I 100% agree. I would also feel much more comfortable if the invoice due date was after people recieve their E8's, to confirm quality expectations.
I am in the E8-V1 buy and could not be more excited about getting that board. These guys have been really innovative and I love the finishes they have offered as well as the chance to personalize the board with lots of color combinations and custom engraving.
However...
1) we have not seen those E8s in the wild yet.... would have been really nice to have one data point on a successful board delivery before deciding to jump in round two or not. Such is life, I suppose… I can get over that and the production pictures look awesome. I personally do 100% believe in the E-Team to deliver high-quality boards.
2) communication has not been stellar. Through the (expected, obviously) delays, we've been a bit left for want of information.

I submitted a form last night but haven't gotten my invoice yet. Is this atypical? Not trying to miss out on this GB.
Yes, usually invoices start going out after orders close.

Doubt there would be any side to side, as the standard hasn't even been made yet AFAIK. It's just something people wanted, but not enough time has passed for them to actually get their hands on a prototype yet

It would be great if you could post the list of orders so everyone can check if their order is correct before invoices go out.It will , after close orders no worries.

Thanks for the message and I'm all good. Was cranky yesterday, but my pathologically optimistic self is back in action today.
I'm in for this- going to be a gorgeous board!! Thanks E-Team for making it available.
Did we ever figure out if brass plates might be an option?

1- What different between two versions of E6-V2: one is the original design, and the other is Poker-compatible. The original design just optimize the Poker version, so it will be little smaller (but will look more sexy, believe me!!). We try to make it look classic, but with some RGB LED under. If you are using your old PCB, RGB may not work functionlly. Both version have same high and angle. Here is my quick render
(http://i.imgur.com/Vrh82ia.png)
(http://i.imgur.com/Vxj1VnD.png)
Both version will be made in same factory, so quality is the same. We will sell PCB (for backup) on our website (under contruction now), after GB end. Part of E8-V1 will be there too.
2: Why is E6-V2? We already designed E6-V1 with same design as E8-V1, but as schedule, we want to make E6-V2 first, due to her sexy body :D
3: How about E8-V1: all plate was fix by CNC factory, but we have to queue at anode factory. It only take about 30mins - 1 hour for anode, but 1-2 weeks for queue. Very sorry about that. We already finish checking the case, PCB, weight, nametag by ourself to make everything perfect. Now only waiting for the plate. All assem order will be more delayed.
4: Color of E6-V2: not so much color for E6-V2, but with 4 parts, you can mix to your demand. It's fun, and you can change your order as much as possible beforce GB end.
We are very sorry about keep communicate with you. We are trying to do it better, day by day.
Thank you so much.

Is the brass going to be polished and shiny?
EDIT: I see you answered already above. Polished and maybe nano-coating. Excellent!

Looks like I also have to change my order from White micro-arc oxidation to White anodized. The anodised one looks "whiter" then the MOA and I want to pair it with a brass middle piece for nice contrast. Thinking about pairing it with the zeal60 pcb and a brass hhkb plate I have from mekanisk. There are so many options :-\

Just to clarify, because I think the wording is causing confusion.
The standard version that can use any normal (left side usb) PCB, will still be TOP MOUNT, correct?
Calling it Pok3r compatible will make people think it's tray mount. :(
Also, is the nano coating on brass guaranteed? I would love confirmation on this.
Also, color grey anode please!
Edit: Will you guys be able to offer brass switch plates please? <3

Would like to add to this:
So, the original has the curve on the bottom where LED glow will shine through.
Does the Standard (poker style case) have the curved bottoms as well or is it flat? If not, is it not possible to have the curved bottom edge on both it is much nicer?
Just added a second purple middle.. Hoping it's a nice deep/dark purple :D Can you confirm with a sample image what shade of purple?

I will updata the purple color sampleHi everyone. I will give some small information base as a member of E-Team.
1- What different between two versions of E6-V2: one is the original design, and the other is Poker-compatible. The original design just optimize the Poker version, so it will be little smaller (but will look more sexy, believe me!!). We try to make it look classic, but with some RGB LED under. If you are using your old PCB, RGB may not work functionlly. Both version have same high and angle. Here is my quick renderShow Image(http://i.imgur.com/Vrh82ia.png)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/Vxj1VnD.png)
Both version will be made in same factory, so quality is the same. We will sell PCB (for backup) on our website (under contruction now), after GB end. Part of E8-V1 will be there too.
2: Why is E6-V2? We already designed E6-V1 with same design as E8-V1, but as schedule, we want to make E6-V2 first, due to her sexy body :D
3: How about E8-V1: all plate was fix by CNC factory, but we have to queue at anode factory. It only take about 30mins - 1 hour for anode, but 1-2 weeks for queue. Very sorry about that. We already finish checking the case, PCB, weight, nametag by ourself to make everything perfect. Now only waiting for the plate. All assem order will be more delayed.
4: Color of E6-V2: not so much color for E6-V2, but with 4 parts, you can mix to your demand. It's fun, and you can change your order as much as possible beforce GB end.
We are very sorry about keep communicate with you. We are trying to do it better, day by day.
Thank you so much.
Just to clarify, because I think the wording is causing confusion.
The standard version that can use any normal (left side usb) PCB, will still be TOP MOUNT, correct?
Calling it Pok3r compatible will make people think it's tray mount. :(
Also, is the nano coating on brass guaranteed? I would love confirmation on this.
Also, color grey anode please!
Edit: Will you guys be able to offer brass switch plates please? <3
Would like to add to this:
So, the original has the curve on the bottom where LED glow will shine through.
Does the Standard (poker style case) have the curved bottoms as well or is it flat? If not, is it not possible to have the curved bottom edge on both it is much nicer?
Just added a second purple middle.. Hoping it's a nice deep/dark purple :D Can you confirm with a sample image what shade of purple?

Where is the link to the table? Was it removed?
The thread poster will place it up again, he said. I'm sure it was to avoid using personal names.
This board look beautiful. Keep up the amazing work. Very excited to see how E6-V1 will turn out. Will it have an HHKB top as well? ;)

Can you tell him to respond to pms? Or is he busy with e8-v1? Because there are a lot of people what want to change their initial order and need confirmation that it's done correctly.
Thanks.

+1 for this... would be really nice since everything else is going to be brass-ified on this bad boy. Would also be interested in a polycarbonate option if that could be added.

Is it one plate for both standard and hhkb or is there an hhkb plate with blockers?(if so will it still support ansi backspace? I'm still not sold on moving it down a row. )

My guess is that it'll be the same plate for either top.

Do you have a picture of the purple? I ordered a purple middle just want to make sure it’s darker than the e8 purple that was offered. Thank you. Grey looks nice. Too bad!The color for sample will update later .

I'm guessing logistics. Grey is a hard anodized color. Most of the others are soft anodizing. It either costs more or will cause delays cause it's run on a different line or something like that.

15th August is the deadline for the invoice, and 3rd August is supposed to be the deadline for the groupbuy:
Expected timeline:
- Group Buy opens: July 28, 2017
- Group Buy closes: August 03, 2017
- Deadline for payments: August 15, 2017
- Keyboards will be shipped out: Early October, 2017
Shouldn't the groupbuy be ended and we should have received the invoice by now? Or am I being silly here :p

Hi jhoang!
This is good news. However, is there any way we can have a few hours with the spreadsheet up before you go to invoicing? There are lots of options and I know I was unsure on a couple and forgot what I've picked on others. It would lead to fewer invoice changes/ updates if we could kindly have a look at the order sheet.

jhoang, i am wondering if you will fulfill your E8-V1 orders before you collect money from people on this group buy. i understand there may be some issues...
Yea. I will update on current status of E8-V1 in E8 thread. But it's all about the plates issue. I fixed the plates and shipped to China for anodizing. But shipping service is being delayed due to some problems with logistics. :(

Holy crap, why is shipping to germany so much more expensive than you mentioned in the opening post? That's even more than I paid for a 4.5kg package from Korea.
And $60 shipping to the US is kinda crazy too...

I really want to know is the nano coated brass is confirmed.
I agree with Kafka, is there a reason why the shipping is $60+? Revo and ALF both charged $40 or so to ship boards from China to the States..

Holy crap, why is shipping to germany so much more expensive than you mentioned in the opening post? That's even more than I paid for a 4.5kg package from Korea.
And $60 shipping to the US is kinda crazy too...
Edit: Revo RJ shipping was $40

Pretty sure this ships from Veitnam. Vietnam's shipping prices are REALLY high, especially outside of SEA. Here's the DHL Table in VND. Other shipping companies might be cheaper, but I suspect not by much. For reference, 1m VND is ~44 USD.

Notable countries include USA & Canada (Zone 7), Germany (Zone 8 ), and Brazil (Zone 10).
THIS IS ONLY AN EXAMPLE, don't take these numbers as gospel, thanks.

I think the shipping costs are fine. People for some reason really don't understand just how expensive international postage can be.
I'd think the same if I only had to pay shipping to the US or UK :-*

Would it be cheaper to send all german packages to one guy for him to distribute them further?
Post by: kawasaki161 on Wed, 09 August 2017, 06:03:22
I have not expected shipping to germany to be that expensive! I might think about having it shipped to family in china instead. But waiting another six months to save 80$? No chance. :p

Probably, according to this list I found for ems pricing from Vietnam:
(https://puu.sh/x59To/2a3278152b.png)
it probably would be $170-180 so $45 per person. Adding 5€ for DHL Paket National we'd still be way below $80-90...
The real pain would be customs though.

Looks like to be a good idea to ship the 4 german packages to one guy. 79$ to Germany is insane and for me its even 89$ since I ordered a second a plate. :(
All four german packages together have a weight of 8,3 kg and we have to pay 340$ shipping. I guess everyone would save at least 30-40$ shipping if we distribute the orders locally.

Since there are no import fees for keyboards, we only have to pay 19% VAT. So the one picking up the 4 boards at customs had to pay about 400$ VAT.

Yea. I will update on current status of E8-V1 in E8 thread. But it's all about the plates issue. I fixed the plates and shipped to China for anodizing. But shipping service is being delayed due to some problems with logistics. :(

$66 if your order stays below 2kg (brass weight but no brass middle piece for example) $75 if it goes above that but under 2.5kg. Looking at the other two users from Denmark that are in the sheet already.

Just to note 67$ goes for brass weight and middle aswell, so to get above the 67$ mark you'd need to order additional items for the kit.

EVERYONE, most likely he is suspending the invoice date till the E8 is dealt with. Just ignore the projected timeline for the E6 and stop spamming the thread.In honest, I would like to know that E6 is delay because E8 group buy is not end. Everyone is looking forward E8 and consider to join E6 GB.

We live across the country from ya :( Doing same-city grouping here.
Would like to add to take your time with getting this sorted. I understand you have a lot happening with the e8. I would hate for you to run into a miscalculation down the line here, and get screwed for money again. I do not mind waiting another few weeks - this is just me, but maybe some share the same sentiment. I would be happy to see things wrap up with the e8 before diving into the e6 and taking payments. I just want things to run smoothly and without any hiccups for you and for us! Either way, looking forward to this kit.

If this is about grouping orders, can I get in on this, too? :P
We live across the country from ya :( Doing same-city grouping here.
Would like to add to take your time with getting this sorted. I understand you have a lot happening with the e8. I would hate for you to run into a miscalculation down the line here, and get screwed for money again. I do not mind waiting another few weeks - this is just me, but maybe some share the same sentiment. I would be happy to see things wrap up with the e8 before diving into the e6 and taking payments. I just want things to run smoothly and without any hiccups for you and for us! Either way, looking forward to this kit.
I have combined your order to your friend. Shipping fees divided by the weight.
Thanks!

Actually, E6 material is different a little bit to E8. Surface treatment is different also.
But basically, the purple color will be like that. Not the same 100%.

The brass can do like this maskant
What type of finish is that? Is it smooth or textured to the touch? Is it sealed like PVD to prevent tarnishing? That's the main reason people want PVD, because you don't have to worry about tarnishing.

The brass can do like this maskant
The Purple sample is perfect, that dark purple is beautiful!! Amazing job, Exclusive! :thumb: I think all the Purple choosers made the right choice!
But no textured brass please. Smooth aluminum + textured brass is messy.
I'm not sure how difficult PVD coating would be, but I think that would be preferred. Maybe two options, one for those who want PVD coated brass, and an option for those who want raw brass?
I'm not to familiar with other possible long lasting coatings, but in the end I personally wouldn't want textures brass like the sample you showed. :(
Edit: Are there any other long lasting options to prevent brass from tarnishing?

For it to have the underglow led do I need to buy the pcb option that I get or any pcb?From the specs, both the custom PCB and standard PCB options have RGB underglow. If you buy a 3rd party PCB, you'll need to make sure it has RGB underglow.

What's happening with the order right now?
Yep. Wouldn't mind an update. Paid invoice a while ago, and seems like order hasn't been given yet.

I exchanged some messages with Jhoang yesterday on Facebook. I've tried via Geekhack and email a few times with no success, so decided to try Facebook. I did have a nice series of responses from him there. I learned that E8-V1 should start shipping next week as he has plates and badges back from Exclusive. That's excellent news- I can't wait to see that board! Just a note here- when I have had responses from Jhoang, they have been pleasant and in my opinion, he means well. I do not believe Jhoang is scamming us. That is just my personal feeling (maybe mixed in with my pathological optimism and trust for other humans), but I think he wants to make keyboards, not run off with our money.
The less good news is that his PayPal is very frozen, as you might expect with the amount of contested charges on the E8-V1. (FWIW, I don't fault anyone for contesting that either- we have been left in the dark with no or wrong information again and again.) Due to that, Exclusive has yet to be paid for the E6-V2 project. Here, I am really confused. Exclusive has shared that he's making the E6 for Chinese GB anyway, so he can make the E6 for us too. I have paid for my E6-V2 and to be honest, I don't want or care about any drama or who does what, I just want the frigging board- it's stunning. So, I am considering contesting that payment and re-paying Exclusive directly for the board. However, Jhoang has said that he is the designer of the boards and Exclusive is the manufacturer. I hesitate to share this, because it's all really unclear to me. I've asked some additional questions around this... In some ways, it would make sense to reorganize the buy with Exclusive based on the communication history of Jhoang vs. Exclusive. But if Jhoang is the designer, then we need him, I think??
I for one am still very willing to trust Jhoang on both buys. Call me crazy, but I am. He has not run the buys well, again, just my opinion, but when you look at Revo, Kin, Yuktsi, LZ, Duck (via Elton)- other boards at similar price points, I also expect some professionalism from the runners (though no one is immune to GB bumps). It would be hard to argue that we have seen a steady hand in leading the buy to date from Jhoang, but heck, I want to see him get there and do better and I'm willing to leave my money in his hands as a sign of faith I trust him to improve those aspects of keyboard making/ selling. Everyone should make their own call regarding that decision and my personal caveat there is that I need to hear from Jhoang in public channels to hold on to any of my faith and keep my money. Without his re-reappearance, I'm afraid I'm out too and will either look to work with Exclusive directly or move on to the next board.
Sorry if I've shared too much opinion or rambled, but I hope it helps everyone understand where I believe these buys are currently at.
Your turn, Jhoang. :)

Oh boy... where to start. I do have some updates and information from both Jhoang and Exclusive, though I'm a bit unsure if proper to broadcast. However, I feel like we are all in this together, so I think it's best to share. There is no doubt that it's is a complicated situation at this point and I'm still sorting out what I think of it all. I'll try to lay out what I know and we can discuss. My utmost hope is that Jhoang joins us in the discussion because as I've encouraged him directly, short of him being involved with us in public on GH, all we can do is speculate and wonder and trade shards of information.Jhoang save this group buy! Tell us anything! Even if it's really bad news. We can take any type of update, what we can't take is silence. It takes 2 min to share with us via your phone. Do the needful.

Sorry to say this is how most of the Group Buys are handled.
They take your money and then FU I'll talk when I wanna talk.
They don't realize that the money they are holding onto might had taken someone weeks - maybe months - to save up.

Are we going to be getting our keyboards? If not I'm just going to dip out of the group buy. I can't wait any longer without a response from johang.
Right now your best bet is contacting him on facebook.
I assume the situation with the E8 delays is troubling him a lot, especially since the claims started pouring in. Every one pulling out (or in other words filing a claim) makes it less likely for the rest to get their boards as it only makes the PayPal situation worse.
Post by: skidude9678 on Tue, 12 September 2017, 17:22:36
I'm not that nervous really since we still have a large window for Paypal protection, but if this ends up like the E8 buy is right now I'll be ready to file a dispute.
Post by: BAS1C on Tue, 12 September 2017, 17:30:10
We shouldn't really have to resort to contacting him on Facebook though. It has been nearly a month since Jhoang has even logged on here, which as someone leading group buys worth tens of thousands of dollars he really shouldn't be doing that.
I'm not that nervous really since we still have a large window for Paypal protection, but if this ends up like the E8 buy is right now I'll be ready to file a dispute.
Personally, i think he should have waited to take payment til the E8 was sorted. }Better for him in the long run honestly. Cause now, if he goes and makes them, and there are delays, we have 1 month less of a window for disputing if they are late. Aka same issue as the E8 and he gets a bunch of people who want re-invoicing. I think, he should just refund it all right now and take payments again when he is ready.. (Not sure if there is % loss to doing that though). I just want this to get made :(

Post by: kawasaki161 on Wed, 13 September 2017, 07:40:20
How do we dip out? I guess only way is through paypal's "Report a problem"? And that could take months.If another 60% group buy happens to come a long in the next 2 weeks and johang hasn't come thru I'll just dip out.
If you are REALLY set on dipping out waaay before your PayPal protection runs out contact him on Facebook and ask which way would cause the least harm. If you "report a problem" it'll only make things worse for him and the others that are still hoping for a comeback.

I really feel that payments should have been stalled until the e8 was done and he was ready for this... if he doesn’t give us an answer by end of month I will start looking elsewhere.

Yeah I actually can't afford to pay for this again, so what should I do since this isn't really an option for me.
He can confirm this, but I believe Exclusive is planning to continue the group buy with all of the same options (other than QMK, left port USB and -$30). Sounds like he wants to finish up production on the Chinese group buy and wants to make some boards for the GH GB as well.
Since it sounds like Jhoang isn't responding to Exclusive either and apparently hasn't passed along any E6 money, we are all in a pickle.
In my opinion, everyone will now have to decide whether to contest the original E6-V2 PayPal charge with Jhoang and pay Exclusive directly for the board or not. I'm not sure what will happen if we hang in there with Jhoang- he's not telling us anything on E8 or E6. Presumably, Exclusive could run another batch when Jhoang delivers the money... maybe? However, I personally believe in Exclusive directly far more than I can believe in Jhoang at the moment. And like so many here, I just love this board- fell in love with the look and the options and now - brass plate... Dang.
For what it's worth- I am still pulling for Jhoang. I believe he has had some tough things going on in life and I hope nothing but the best for him. I really hope to see the E8s ship soon and I would likely still back him in another buy downstream. I know- I'm a softie, but I would, I've needed many second chances in life and I still don't think Jhoang was purely just out to rip us off here...

With you on that, although things are looking pretty grim, I don't see any logic in him retaining that many keyboards. Also, speaking with him on several occasions, he is a really cool guy. I'm just hoping that what he's doing is somewhere along the lines of keeping his head down and getting everything sorted out. I just wish he would respond to me on fb haha.
Sigh, if this doesnt work out though, I'm actually out a lot of money. GG

However, I personally believe in Exclusive directly far more than I can believe in Jhoang at the moment. And like so many here, I just love this board- fell in love with the look and the options and now - brass plate... Dang.
For what it's worth- I am still pulling for Jhoang. I believe he has had some tough things going on in life and I hope nothing but the best for him. I really hope to see the E8s ship soon and I would likely still back him in another buy downstream. I know- I'm a softie, but I would, I've needed many second chances in life and I still don't think Jhoang was purely just out to rip us off here...
With you on that, although things are looking pretty grim, I don't see any logic in him retaining that many keyboards. Also, speaking with him on several occasions, he is a really cool guy. I'm just hoping that what he's doing is somewhere along the lines of keeping his head down and getting everything sorted out. I just wish he would respond to me on fb haha.
Sigh, if this doesnt work out though, I'm actually out a lot of money. GG
+1 to all you said there!!
I had communication with him on Facebook until a week or so ago, he is a really nice guy. But he's gone dark there too. And mostly, I was trying to encourage him to come back here - to update everyone on what he told me (ie: E8's were shipping this past week). I told him that we are all just suckers for nice keyboards (obviously) and we would welcome him back and trust him and root for him to finish up the buy if he'd only come and re-engage. He said many times, I'm going to update "today" and I cannot give any good insights as to why that didn't happen. This is why I'd back him again...
But likewise with nickheller, I'm really glad Exclusive has a path forward here for the E6-V2. These are going to be gorgeous boards and I just want to see them made.

Am I right in assuming that even if jhoang returns his buy will be dead? If so that's rather sad as I am not even slightly interested in this if there's no option for the QMK PCB.I am sorry for that
Two version pcb will be messed up
Thanks for ur understanding.

hi exclusive. if you don't mind me asking, did a rift between you and jhoang occur during the process of running the E8-V1 buy? it seems very odd that communication between two group buy runners would break down in this manner
I just want make the board who love it and can
join
I will take orders and picking up continued
Btw what i doing is let the things clear
U guys have choice .
Thanks u question

It means have four option
Two version pcb and case.

But we need move on .

For what it's worth, I have one experience with PayPal dispute and it was very efficient.
-You open dispute which includes a message to the seller.
-After some time (I waited a week), you go view dispute and escalate to PayPal claim.
-After I clicked that, I had money back in account in 5 minutes.

Well I'll try, but would be really nice if Exclusive would give some extra time for those who have to get a dispute done to join up, although I understand why he wouldn't do so, as it is an added liability.

Hey Exclusive, one question.. What kind of QC will you be performing on the keyboards - will it be yourself after they come from factory? And will you be doing the packing?No worry

Still waiting on my original refund, hope it comes through soon :|
Same, still waiting on my dispute, although I would rather just receive a refund as I feel disputing might hinder the E8 groupbuy even more. If anyone can get a hold of Jhoang I think it would be best for him at this point to just refund all orders for E6 and let exclusive handle it.

Can anyone explain the Pros/Cons between Bootmapper and QMK? I really don't using either but bootmapper has a nice UI. If anyone could shed some light on this matter that would be greatly appreciated.
Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
From my experience. Bootmapper is nice and easy. QMK is a little more complex to program but is more powerful. If you don't know what the 'more powerful' entails, you probably don't need it. I got QMK on my last board, wish I got bootmapper.. now that I know how to program QMK, doesn't really matter but it was frustrating and I could have done all the same things in bootmapper. That being said, endgame keyboard, get endgame pcb. There may be a time when you realize the limitations and wish you had gone QMK. I am not at that stage yet.

This results in slightly longer response times than you would get on a PCB using a controller like the 32u4, which QMK runs on.
For this reason alone I'd never pick the bootmapper version of the PCB, no matter if I would actually notice the delay or not.
Edit:
Also worth noting is that while the 32a does lack native USB support, I'm not sure how valid my claims above about response times actually are. This is something I've heard from other people, but when I tried researching it now I came up blank!
So if anyone else can share anything on this I'd very much appreciate it :)
Post by: gaiden on Tue, 26 September 2017, 18:37:48
Worth nothing is the fact that the bootmapper client PCB uses the 32a controller, which lacks native USB support.Ohhh going to do some research on this for keyboard science. Thanks for pointing it out!

From my understanding there's two things at play:
1) The V-USB that the 32a controller runs does introduce some theoretical lag relative to the native USB controller on the 32u4. It's probably on the order of sub-1ms. Reason being is that instead of there being an actual USB controller, the 32a is faking it by bitbanging two GPIO pins. Upside is this method allows for support of PS/2 as well - that's why you see BootMapper Client PCBs support PS/2 while TMK/QMK generally does not.
2) There appears to be much longer periods of lag when using a 32a controller on a 3rd party USB controller, especially if it's a Chinese clone of one. I suspect what is at play here is actually the controller rebooting, but in a short enough time period that Windows is just holding the packets instead of playing the USB disconnect/reconnect sound. My setup doesn't exhibit this issue, so I can't oscilloscope it to figure out what's going on.
Boards running QMK/TMK are at the forefront of development. The source is open, so you can tinker to your hearts content. The community has greatly expanded what is possible on a keyboard in those source trees (double shot, tap dance, split keyboards using a serial communication for cross-half communication, RGB underglow, I2C screens to indicate layer status etc). Downside is that it's harder to program than Bootmapper Client or JigOn. If your board is supported well by one of the web configurators, then it's just slightly more difficult. If it's not, or you need to add support yourself then you'll need some basic C++ knowledge. It's far from rocket science, but the knowledge floor for being able to work in the QMK source tree is far from 0.
Boards running Bootmapper Client are generally easier to program but they're missing some of the advanced features that QMK offers. Worth noting if you're into RGB, both Bootmapper Client and JigOn have better RGB underglow support than QMK does. QMK has a number of RGB modes, but it's lacking per LED RGB control which both JigOn and Bootmapper Client offers. Someone with the right skills could add it to QMK, but so far no one has stepped up.* JigOn and Bootmapper Client both use an outboard RGB LED controller on all of their designs, so the effects are a little more advanced plus they don't slow down the controller like RGB on QMK does. Someone on reddit measured controller response using the various RGB effects and the impact was all sub-1ms but it was measurable. Unfortunately, they deleted their account and I can't seem to find the post.
*Yes, the Zeal60 has per-RGB control but it's using an outboard RGB LED controller so that's really no help to the other 99% of QMK boards.

Thanks for the answer. V-USB should indeed not introduce any measurable delay. Should help anyone still on the fence.
The part about underglow piqued my interest. Exclusive, does the E6-V2 PCB have a separate RGB controller for both designs?

Not speaking authoritatively or on behalf of Exclusive, but I would assume that the QMK board does not use a separate controller as it's not needed and implementing the software side of it in QMK is non-trivial.

Sounds reasonable.
So we could conclude that the little delay the V-USB is imposing on the bootmapper client boards will probably be matched by the extra time spent controlling the LEDs on the QMK boards. Unless the board runs a faulty USB controller as well?
Kind of wish there was support for a separate RGB-controller in QMK, though. Not really though.
Edit:
Although this is probably pretty negligible for RGB underglow. Especially when it's just side-glow, as it is for this board.
On another note I should just not post things when I'm tired. Per key RGB != RGB underglow. Time for coffee...

This is very interesting. I've had pretty noticeable differences in input delay between different implementations. Generally it was (from low to high delay) QMK/TMK<JigOn<ps2avrGB . On an Asus Z97-AR, tested both the USB3 and USB2 ports, but **** if I know if the controllers used are 3rd party or not. My test method wasn't the most scientific too, I used a program that outputs a sound on a keypress and a microphone, placed the mic between the speaker and keyboard, hit record and then pressed a few buttons a few times, then looked at the recordings on audacity.

Microcontroller load and by extension lag increases with the complexity of the color pattern. Solid colors are easier than a solid fade which is easier than the rainbow chase mode.
Those LEDs use a form of a serial protocol, so the microcontroller has to encode the LED colors for each LED then pump the command down the LED control line. Each LED strips the top instruction off the top and passes the rest. It has to signal on each color change.

Does that mean it’s possible to upgrade? I’d love numbered ones if possible, I originally tried to get one but was barely too late lol. but totally understand if you arent doing that. Figure it doesn’t hurt to ask :D

As long as it's machined well and it clamps tight and doesn't woble and doesn't leave a gap I'm perfectly fine with it. I think the main reason people do top mount is it's hard to to a clamp mount that is tight with no gap. Is it using a gasket? Or just tight tolerances?

I’m actually kinda excited it’s gasket mount, it’s way less common.
Exclusive says there is no wobble, and I have no reason to not believe him, so in my book this is a good thing.
Post by: excluisve on Wed, 08 November 2017, 18:24:29
To be clear. As long as the machining tolerance is tight, this design should be MORE stable, not less. The plate should be supported on the entirety of every edge by the case. As long as the cutout is the same depth as the plate, which should be extremely consistent since they just cut them from prefabbed sheets, there is no issue. The risks come from the gap being to small which would leave a gap between the top case and the mid case, or too big, in which case the plate could move up and down. As long as the size is right though, it’s better. Plus it makes it much much easier to swap plates.Yep ,top and mid have a gap is 1.5mm depth so plate place on there .

Top and mid hold on plate is no doubt that will waggle

Post by: amnesia0287 on Wed, 08 November 2017, 20:52:54
yea a lot of people prefer gasket mount over top mount too. The gaskets allow a more soft? typing experiences since its not fixed top plate. 356 minis were gasket mounted
Technically I think this is considered a sandwich mount. Gasket would have something soft to hold the plate tight. Like a rubber ring around the edge of the plate. If you put the gasket under the plate you get a softer feel, if the gasket is above the plate it just holds it tight.
In theory Exclusive could make a gasket mount mod for this since it would just involve making a top or mid case with a deeper cut. The harder part would just be getting a decent gasket.

Case were ready done , it wont have gasket option guys
I mean like an add on. Not a change to existing orders.
It would 100% be possible to make a midcase that was a little deeper and had room for an oring like a 356:
(http://i.imgur.com/3GIR9QJ.jpg)
And I just mean it's possible. I have no clue if there would be enough interest to justify it. But I could totally see ordering another midcase/plate just for gasket, even if I had to wait another few months to get the new parts. The point is you already have the CNC design done, adding an oring would just be cutting more out of your existing design. Now if it's worth it? Who knows.
Either way, I AM NOT suggesting that you delay this gb for gasket mount. My point is you could sell it as an add on kit to people who already got E6-V2.

i havent get 356mini so i dont know about gasket what actually is ? sry.
It's the red rubber thing on the bottom left corner of that pcb/plate.
The idea is rubber can be compressed/squeezed. So if your plate is 1.5mm, you make the cutout 3mm, then you use a like 1.7mm (how much thicker will determine how stiff the board is, i have no clue how thick is correct, 1.7 is just a random number) diameter oring between the plate and the bottom case. Then when you screw the case together the 3.2mm of plate/gasket get compressed to 3mm, so you get a nice tight fit, and a no gaps at all. But unlike a top or sandwhich mount, that means what your plate is resting on is not metal, but rubber or silicone or something, so you get a softer feel. I think it also sounds different.
That 356 plate is customized more, the gasket is only compressed on the parts that stick out, so the middle of the pcb is free floating, and if i remember right they actually did stuff to the pcb to make it flex MORE for linear switches.
The real advantage of a gasket is it could be tunable, you could have a thicker, softer rubber gasket for a softer feel, or a thiner but stiffer rubber gasket for a stiffer more traditional feel. You could even make cnc metal/plastic gaskets if you didn't want any play.
Here's a simple cross section example:

Post by: amnesia0287 on Wed, 08 November 2017, 23:16:52
Theres lots of ways you can mount the oring, to the plate, to the case, you could just use rubber strips on top and bottom. You could make the rubber stay in place better make making it inset into the midcase.
Gasket style cases are super uncommon though, so I do think there would be good interest in general for a nice one.

Oh, and to be clear, that isn't to scale or anything. Just meant to convey the concept.Got it thanks .have a lesson to me . :thumb:

You could always offer an addon kit after the GB has concluded. If there is enough interest it might just be worth it :)

Finally I got brass weight
But I have a question what is kind of treatment it should be
Keep it real or sanding blasting ，
pvd I think not better it will make weight thicken that may can't put in bottom

I agree, I just saw someone post a picture of the brass weight on the m65 and it looks nice.

I think exclusive is saying that he cannot do PVD, aka shiny, because it will not fit in the case. So I believe he is saying the only two options are raw brass or sand blasted, neither of which are shiny.

With the sandblasted finish, are you sure the fingerprints aren’t just tarnishing? Have you tried using something acidic to clean it? Like vinegar & baking soda or salt?

Have you ever had brass with PVD? I have and it scratches and attracts a lot of grime... at least shiny pvd does. I would much rather have it raw/sandblasted

Yes I have. I am not too worried about that. My desk stays very clean and I don’t plan to carry this one around.
Post by: Kafka on Mon, 13 November 2017, 10:10:19
I think sandblasted is best, but it should be a light sandblast not heavy. Old OTD is lightly sandblasted and looks great, and light should help with clean ability. Think the prototype pic you have has too hard of a sandblast so it doesn't look as good. My opinion anyway, light sandblast.

As long as the weight is lightly sandblasted it's fine for me, if the front face was polished it would probably be even easier to clean off tarnish, but I can live with a light sandblast.
Post by: ptiede on Mon, 13 November 2017, 19:57:31
It would be really great if there was some kind of protective coating on the plate to prevent tarnishing, it's really hard to clean the plate when the board is assembled.
As long as the weight is lightly sandblasted it's fine for me, if the front face was polished it would probably be even easier to clean off tarnish, but I can live with a light sandblast.
I'm basically in that camp as well. The plate being coated would be really nice because that's the only part I'd have a hard time polishing.

you can buy a can of brass lacquer if you don't want that to happen
Post by: amnesia0287 on Mon, 13 November 2017, 20:17:29
the whole reason brass parts are so popular in the first place is tarnishing
you can buy a can of brass lacquer if you don't want that to happen
I don’t think tarnishing is the reason, but I did plan to play with aging for kicks.
That said, brass is so easy to finish yourself, as long as it looks good, I don’t really care which they pick. I’ll be happy with whatever the choice is lol.
Post by: kawasaki161 on Mon, 13 November 2017, 20:38:02

If it arrived clean that would work for me, but every untreated brass part I ever got arrived with at least some tarnish, a coating from the factory will always turn out better because they can apply it directly after surface finishing.
Like I said, basically everything works for the weight or middle piece, those flat front surfaces are rather easy to clean up too, but a coating on the plate would be very nice, because a plate is a pain to clean even if it's not even assembled yet because of all the holes.

Pcb backlight testing
From the looks of it, it's bright enough with solid keys over it, but how is the transition of the colors? Is it a smooth transition or should we be expecting a little bit of visual lag? Honestly I wouldn't care too much about it since RBG isn't really my thing, but it's always better to be informed.

I originally ordered it and changed it at the end. I kinda regret it too now cause that looks super nice.
I realized that while I really like the idea of a white case, I wouldn’t like how it looks with a lot of caps. It would look fantastic with a few of course.
The white with those clean round edges look fantastic tho. Choices are hard.

Very hard indeed! It looks great. Wish I got the Apple White mid instead of brass in the end or also as an extra. Either way. Ant wait to build this. It looks REALLY solid and well thought out.

What does that have to do with anything. I am comparing this GB to others up to the same point. If that changes, sure I’ll give appropriate feedback, but so far I have been impressed with the frequency of updates usually unprompted and the quickness of response.
Also, as far as I am aware, the only issue with shipping was the nameplates were shipped all together before assembly. That won’t be happening here since he’s sending them directly to the purchaser.
There is a reason my statement included the words “so far”.

No way. The top one is definitely looks like the MAO one to me. The bottom looks like it's silver and is catching a glare or a flash which is why it looks brighter. I could be wrong, but I'm fairly certain I'm not. MAO is a more creamy white color, since it's ceramic, and that's exactly how the top one looks to me.

It looks like my order is different this time from when I last checked. The last time I checked I had ordered an extra carbon plate but no extra PCB. While this was intentional when I ordered (because I simply did not have the money for the extra PCB) I'd like to add an extra QMK PCB to my order. Also please make sure that the extra Carbon plate is added as well, because I already paid for that.have u tell me change cf plate to brass?

The box is reliable, there is enough foam to protect the board. The scratch is not caused by the shipping I think, I'm reaching Exclusive for help.
I believe the packets shipping to you guys will be much safer and heavier. Exclusive and I live in the same city so the shipping box does not need too much attention.
The keyboard is overall really nice!
I love the design and the touch feeling of MAO.
Also the PCB looks more valuable than its price.

Thanks Exclusive for the fast shipping! :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:
I received mine today: MAO with everything else brassed.

I ordered an Founder Edition, however, Exclusive told me after MAO the weight cannot be put inside. So I have to change into the normal weight. (no idea why their sizes are different)

Scratches :-\ :-\ :-\
Wonder how that happened. Looks nice otherwise. Looking at the other photo, I'm wondering if the screws/stabs or w/e were what did it. If thats the case though should only take a bit of foam to cover it.
How's the overall fit/finish aside from the 1 scratch?
The box is reliable, there is enough foam to protect the board. The scratch is not caused by the shipping I think, I'm reaching Exclusive for help.
I believe the packets shipping to you guys will be much safer and heavier. Exclusive and I live in the same city so the shipping box does not need too much attention.
The keyboard is overall really nice!
I love the design and the touch feeling of MAO.
Also the PCB looks more valuable than its price.
let me share more pics:

After looking at these pics, I'm glad that I went with MAO after all. I think its because some of the lighting is different from some of the pics, but how well did the white turn out. Can I expect more eggshell or is it a bit grey?

What type of screw driver will I need, the screws look a little different. Want to get everything ready.
E6-V2 using bot Phillips and Hex screw, M2 and M2.5. I recommend you use this kit: https://www.amazon.com/COMBO-QUICK-DRIVE-TIP-CADDY/dp/B07288TLLH/ref=sr_1_24?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1514879605&sr=1-24. It's expensive, and it worth. You can not find any keyboard that was milled and anozed better than them ^_^
Exclusive is still in hospital until now. He got fever and have to have an intravenous drip.

That being said if you don’t have one yet I wouldn’t panic and start flooding PMs. Probably take a few days to get them all out, especially if still not feeling 100%!

I got 2 full cases and then extra of midcase/plate.
Everything seems pretty much flawless though.
One thing I noticed is there was some sort of oil or something around the weight screw holes. I’m assuming there was some sort of lube on the screws that leaked out a bit. But it rubbed off with ISO, so who cares :D.
The finish is amazing tho. It’s sooooooo smooth.
I can’t wait to get one assembled. Fortunately my giant order of 67g zeals came today too. (The new ones are amaze, at least from the few minute I played with them).

I'm TRYING to figure out the matrix, but is less than ideal since the entire pcb is matte black and you can hardly see traces. plus nothing is labeled.
The leds still come on when it plugs in tho, so it may already have something flashed, not sure how that works by default.

Yup, I’ll figure out some way to share it one way or another. So far I’ve gotten the columns worked out. And I think I have the right pin for the rgb. Still gotta find the Led pin and do keymaps.
I guess I should assemble one of the pcbs soon so I can actually test when I’m ready.

I just did a press fit with a flat spudger to get it all the way in. Seems like a tight fit to me with zeal holtites. There are 1-2 partial holes that COULD need solder, but certainly not guaranteed. The seemed to be more than 50% of a circle, so probably is fine.
Almost ready to start testing one:
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180106/41d284f4c9aded2924b9ad4945706294.jpg)
It is already flashed with something, but it seems to expect split left shift (or the normal left shift led traces are bad, but I checked bridging the positive to both splits and either one works, so worst case it’s an easy fix). That said I expect it’s just a matter of mapping it right.

Wow the boards are looking as good as I thought they were going to. I gotta say though, this has been one hell of a GB for most of us that stuck around from the start. Should we wait for everyone to get their boards first or should we start planning Exclusive's victory parade now?
It really is crazy how far this GB has come from the train wreck that it started with.
Exclusive has been great throughout, and I wouldn't hesitate to buy from him again, just gotta wait for the next board he makes that I want :P
So many many thanks to Exclusive for seeing this through.
Overall everything about the board has been fantastic. I have a few TINY nitpicks:
- why is there a weird switch cutout for ?/ ? (it's wider than the keycap to the right, so for some reason between ? and shift you see the pcb, not the plate. it doesn't hurt anything, I just couldn't figure out what it could possibly be for lol)
- why is there 1 random silver Phillips screw for one of the mounts? (yes, i know it doesn't actually matter at all, im more curious for this one)
- In the future, instead of threading the nameplates into both the top case and the nameplate, you should only put threads in the nameplate. Then you can use a countersunk hole in the case that is BIGGER than the screw to allow the nameplate to be tighted down all the way. (as it is it will wobble a bit since there is no way to actually tighten the plates, I just stuck a tiny piece of cotton in there for now, I'll probably play with some sort of putty or paper just to get a more uniform fit, but it holds it tight at least. alternatively you could also put in a 3rd hole in the middle, and then a divit in the nameplates. Then you could add a 3rd screw with a pointed tip to use to apply tension. I think the first option is better, but either would work.)
- i really wish the HHKB had a different plate for cleaner lines, but i totally get why it didn't
- the cutout for the usb port could look nicer. the ONLY reason I point this out, is that the left port case looks much nicer there than the midport case. My assumption this is because the midport is smaller, and perhaps it was too thin. but the hard edges just don't look nice when everything else is nice and rounded out.
- my life woulda been so much easier if the bottom of the PCB was labeled instead of matte black like the top, don't get me wrong, it looks really nice, its just no fun tracking all the traces with a multimeter and guessing for the rest :P
- its too pretty... im so scared of scratching it
Like I said though. I consider all these super minor issues, none would stop me from buying again and I have no regrets at all about what I did buy.
But now for the important question... when do we get the E6.5? :P
Edit:
I'm too tired to actually mess with building/flashing QMK tonight since it's gonna be quite the game of trial and error. but in case anyone else is gonna mess with it before I get to it tomorrow, I believe the matrix columns are:
#define MATRIX_COL_PINS { C7, C6, B6, B5, B4, D7, D6, D4, F6, F7, F5, F4, F1, B0, B1 }
I can't tell for rows, but there can't be that many options left. Also I believe E2 is RGB and then i THINK D3 (maybe D5) is the led pin.

I considered that, but it doesn’t really make sense for the middle port version given the pcb doesn’t support it and it’s not like there are other pcbs with the same cutouts and a middle port that would also fit.
I guess the plates COULD be the same for both versions, even if the other parts are all different. I don’t really mind having a gap there, it’s more annoying to me simply because there is a gap there that has no actual use at all.
Either way though, from my perspective this gb is a big success.

So positive terminal does nothing:
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180107/180e1fe30cb5e55d7244b4a23b059557.jpg)
Super minor issue for me since I don’t really care about the LEDs, and if you use normal left shift either of the surrounding unused terminals are available and work:
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180107/ab4d80025bef5bd929c44614dd56b498.jpg)
Anyway, the keyboard itself is totally functional without any firmware, and all the switches work and all the other LED work (caps lock is defaulted to a toggle LED).
I’ll update in a bit once I have started flashing stuff.
Edit:
Oh, and I think it may actually be true of both ansi shifts, but backspace seems fine with any pinout. I went ahead and tested all the different multi position slots (bottom row and iso enter) and they all seem fine as well.
Post by: amnesia0287 on Sat, 06 January 2018, 21:08:58
All keys now work, multi layers and such.
RGB works.
Just working on the back-light. Then I have to figure out how to actually share it back to github.
That said if anyone needs it now, just lemme know. Even without backlight, it at least will let you program and map your board and make it functional :D.
Edit:
nvm, got the backlight toggles working too. Trying to figure out the caps lock thing just so i can turn it off, but that is just cause i dont like it :D.
Edit again:
so the controls do "work" but they are backwards (increase dims decrease increase brightness) and the leds won't actually turn off, just dim most of the way. I even tried disabling them in the firmware entirely but they still stay on super dim.
@exclusive, any chance you can share the pcb design so we can try and figure out whats up? its really hard to follow the pcb since its all black and unlabeled.
It should at least in theory be possible to fix it i think, since when it's in DFU mode, then the LEDs turn off even though the RGB ones stay on.

I tried this on one of my unflashed PCBs, and I still get the same result. Everything else works fine, but the LEDs never fully turn off, they just get REALLY dim. Like even in a dark room they aren't very bright, but they 100% do not turn off.
I'm messing around with toggling some of the pins to see if anything helps, but at this point I'm wondering if its the resistor right before the or something. Cause it DOES manage the brightness, it just never actually gets to 0.
I've been working with Jack Humbert (the guy who started QMK) over at https://gitter.im/qmk/qmk_firmware to try a few things, but it's really hard to know why the LEDs won't turn off without having the actual PCB design.
There are a few possibilities I can think of.
- There could be a resistor somewhere that isn't strong enough so when the pullup resistor is engaged on the pin, it's still leaking enough voltage to power the LEDs. maybe the one right before the a5shb transistor.
- Something else could be bridged with the LED traces that is giving them another source of power.
- something is just wired wrong
Ideally I'm hoping its just a matter of tracking down the problem and fixing it, swap a resistor or bridge something. Worse case if it was an actual problem with the PCB, I'd even consider just ordering my own PCBs from OSH Park if you will provide the design. I basically just wanna figure out if this can be fixed without replacement, and if not, figure out how to make my own.
To be clear, I'm not trying to complain. I'm very happy with my boards, and I can totally deal with this issue. I plan to keep my boards either way tho, just cause I usually keep the LEDs off anyway, so I can just pull the LEDs and be happy, plus the under glow is the sexy part anyway. I just would would love it if everything worked, plus with OSH Park i can get sexy purple and gold PCBs :P.
Edit:
Now I'm almost 100% positive the issue is just a matter of resistance. I built my board with UV alphas and green mods, and only the green mods were really glowing, so i figured might as well try something else. I swapped in a single red LED and all the green ones immediately turned off and only the single red led is on. So more than likely there just needs to be a bit more resistance in the path depending on the LED colors.
I'm kinda tempted to try and add one in the chain somewhere, maybe just attach it to one of the open LED slots. Regardless, I'm pretty sure it's fixable somehow, probably the resistor between the transistor and B6 like i was saying before.
I need to order more LEDs so i can test with each individual color to figure out what will and wont work.

Thanks for all the work guys like you and Jack are doing on QMK these days, there’s even hope for pleebs like me to jump in.

Exclusive, I must say you've really outdone yourself, this is really, really nice.
I wouldn't hesitate a second buying a another keyboard from you, really glad I jumped onto this.

The json you shared is incorrect btw, it uses B2 as a pin where it should be B1 (the rightmost column, only used for split backspace)

Maybe try to find a Flathead(edit oops, I dunno why I said Phillips) head that can get more grip . The screws shouldn't be THAT tight.
The main reason i asked, is the top left screw isn't a hex screw like the others, so it could seem like it's stripped when it's just a different bit.

First, in case anyone was currious, the brass midcase/plate adds ~10oz (~280g)Wow the boards are looking as good as I thought they were going to. I gotta say though, this has been one hell of a GB for most of us that stuck around from the start. Should we wait for everyone to get their boards first or should we start planning Exclusive's victory parade now?
It really is crazy how far this GB has come from the train wreck that it started with.
Exclusive has been great throughout, and I wouldn't hesitate to buy from him again, just gotta wait for the next board he makes that I want :P
- why is there 1 random silver Phillips screw for one of the mounts? (yes, i know it doesn't actually matter at all, im more curious for this one)
same here, I also have 1 random silver Phillips screw. I though it is just some packing mistakes.
btw, where do you guys get the GoldenAlu/Brass plate??
I didn't see this choice in the GB page! :-X
The customized name tag looks really siiiiiiiick!!!
I remember I submitted my customized request to Exclusive but received a normal tag. It is my biggest sadness in the GB together with the lose of my founder edition weight. :( :(
Looking forward to the E6-V3

Anyone else have an issue when using this json layout. Im using split backspace true hhkb layout, and the top right key worked before flashing this keymap, not after - maybe the matrix is not as defined within the keymap for some reason?
https://www.dropbox.com/s/uugwoaqwylr0e9d/jia60.json?dl=0
I used the set up Amnesia created. I made exactly your set up and go it to work perfectly. I could send you my keymaps file if you wanted? It is of course in c but it pretty straightforward in what it does.

Im a scrub and use the online qmk editor to add all my FN layers (basically just cloning hhkb functions), could you share a hex or something so I can give it a try and see if its a keymap issue?

It's totally a mistake on my part, I actually already changed it on my local copy, but i haven't updated the repo yet. The last key on the split backspace is on it's own row, and I don't use one so I never tested the row. When he posted the json the other day I saw I was off by one.
In the qmk_firmware\keyboards\e6v2\config.h file just change:
#define MATRIX_COL_PINS { C7, C6, B5, B4, D7, D6, D4, F6, F7, F5, F4, F1, F0, B0, B2 }
to
#define MATRIX_COL_PINS { C7, C6, B5, B4, D7, D6, D4, F6, F7, F5, F4, F1, F0, B0, B1 }
I believe that's the only thing that's wrong. I also only tested the HHKB layout, so if you are using the non-hhkb one, lemme know if you have any issues with the extra keys.
If there are any weird layouts that have problems I can fix them. I wanna test a few more things before i try and merge it into the main repo, but I do plan to do it at some point with everything fixed.
Edit: Based on what I've been told, the version in the Repo with B1 for split backspace is correct.

aha, so I'm not crazy lol - this makes perfect sense, as the matrix looked a little ... off to me for some reason

i am pretty feel sorry for that
we can see from this pic :https://i.imgur.com/Izeupy9.png (https://i.imgur.com/Izeupy9.png) switch line link to led so Q & A will trigger at same time .
that we need remove A`s resistance like that .https://i.imgur.com/uzUMtnE.png
btw,if u dont need led anything is okay .those guys who buy the qmk pcb ,next board pcb for free
if someone cant accept qmk pcb this issue plz let me know .i will give u bootmapper or remake qmk pcb .(it may cost my shipping fee and pcb costing :( )
i am really sorry .

What do you mean Q&A trigger together? I'm typing on my soldered board right now, and that doesn't happen to me. I do see the led trace issue, I never woulda noticed that through the mask lol, im guessing that's why the LEDs wont turn off? Cause it's the matrix scans are lighting them up?
Anyway, I can't speak for everyone, but I would love to get at least 2 of my pcbs replaced just so I could have 2 perfect ones at some point. I don't mind waiting until the next time you run PCBs or anything like that tho, and would probably even pay a bit for them. Given I got 4 pcbs so I'd have one for each plate, I don't think that's THAT unreasonable. But I also totally understand if you decide not to do it.
I just know I really like these boards, and would love for them to be "perfect".

What do you mean Q&A trigger together? I'm typing on my soldered board right now, and that doesn't happen to me. I do see the led trace issue, I never woulda noticed that through the mask lol, im guessing that's why the LEDs wont turn off? Cause it's the matrix scans are lighting them up?
Anyway, I can't speak for everyone, but I would love to get at least 2 of my pcbs replaced just so I could have 2 perfect ones at some point. I don't mind waiting until the next time you run PCBs or anything like that tho, and would probably even pay a bit for them. Given I got 4 pcbs so I'd have one for each plate, I don't think that's THAT unreasonable. But I also totally understand if you decide not to do it.
I just know I really like these boards, and would love for them to be "perfect".

Plz give me u json and hexhi guys
sorry for those .QMK pcb have many issue .it made by my friend who was first time do the qmk pcb
i am pretty feel sorry for that
we can see from this pic :https://i.imgur.com/Izeupy9.png (https://i.imgur.com/Izeupy9.png) switch line link to led so Q & A will trigger at same time .
that we need remove A`s resistance like that .https://i.imgur.com/uzUMtnE.png
btw,if u dont need led anything is okay .those guys who buy the qmk pcb ,next board pcb for free
if someone cant accept qmk pcb this issue plz let me know .i will give u bootmapper or remake qmk pcb .(it may cost my shipping fee and pcb costing :( )

I don't have a json, I flashed it direct from the repo I have here: https://github.com/amnesia0287/qmk_firmware/tree/amnesia0287/keyboards/e6v2
The hex is: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1RXcogBXdbTw6p6fb4rQJEj3JocPF38Fb
That's an HHKB with a normal 2u ansi backspace, standard left shift, split right shift and my own weird fn setup. As best I can tell, everything else works fine other than the missing leds on the left shift, and 1 color of LED not turning ALL the way off, i suspect even that won't happen if all the LEDs are the same color. And then the led controls are totally messed up. If I do the KC that turns the LEDs up if they are off they go to the brightest setting, and then each subsequent time they dim slightly. On turns them off, off sometimes turns them off and sometimes turns them on lol. etc.
I traced the PCB myself by hand. That's why the split backspace doesn't work with the original json apparently the last column IS B1 and not B2 like your json.
Edit:
Now I see, it seems purple leds are strong enough resistors that it doesn't happen with them. I used sip sockets for my LEDs on this board, so I pulled the LED on A and swapped it for just a wire (a clipped led leg cause I don't have a wire) and then the entire row was dead and it was like my windows key was held down. Pull the wire and it works fine, put the purple led and it works fine.
Happy accident that it works with purple, but yeah, that's a bummer.

standard hex https://www.dropbox.com/s/cu3mdkz3x44b7u7/stanard.hex?dl=0
I think that hex is still off by 1. From what I've been told, the row from here is valid:
https://github.com/amnesia0287/qmk_firmware/blob/amnesia0287/keyboards/e6v2/config.h
#define MATRIX_COL_PINS { C7, C6, B5, B4, D7, D6, D4, F6, F7, F5, F4, F1, F0, B0, B1 }
Your json has: ["C7", "C6", "B5", "B4", "D7", "D6", "D4", "F6", "F7", "F5", "F4", "F1", "F0", "B0", "B2"],
I could be wrong since I don't use a split backspace, so I haven't tested it myself, but the people who used my repo to start with said it did.

I setup 4 keymaps so far: https://github.com/amnesia0287/qmk_firmware/blob/amnesia0287/keyboards/e6v2/e6v2.h
the default which just maps all the keys,
an ansi one,
and then hhkb
and split bs hhkb layouts.
I use the hhkb one myself just so I don't have to fill out the blanks, my layout is here https://github.com/amnesia0287/qmk_firmware/blob/amnesia0287/keyboards/e6v2/keymaps/amnesia0287/keymap.c and looks like this:
[_BL] = KEYMAP_HHKB(
KC_ESC, KC_1, KC_2, KC_3, KC_4, KC_5, KC_6, KC_7, KC_8, KC_9, KC_0, KC_MINS, KC_EQL, KC_BSPC,
KC_TAB, KC_Q, KC_W, KC_E, KC_R, KC_T, KC_Y, KC_U, KC_I, KC_O, KC_P, KC_LBRC, KC_RBRC, KC_BSLS,

KC_LGUI, KC_LALT, KC_SPACE, KC_RALT, FN_HLa
),
But like if you have a specific standard layout or w/e I can add them all.
I set the default to be a standard ansi layout, and then just setup some random stuff.
Also, if you do make another pcb and want it tested, let me know and I'll be glad to assist :D
Post by: excluisve on Wed, 10 January 2018, 00:49:18
also @exclusive, if you have any standard layouts you want me to put into github before i try and merge it into the official repo, just let me know. I'll happily add any layouts or keymaps you want. Eventually they will show up here: http://config.qmk.fm (this site IS NOT live yet, but the link WOULD be config.qmk.fm/#/e6v2/KEYMAP, it's just not there yet)Thanks for do those .actually i am not be familiar with pcb job ：（ if someone have some question plz assist them .thanks :thumb:

First of all thank you Exclusive for coming through with overall smooth development and timely updates. Below are a few things I noticed which could be improved.
Quality is great. Feels very solid. My favorite HHKB so far! 8.5/10
That said IMHO there are a few things I like to point out maybe worth considering for better or worse:
(there are in no particular order, I'm just naming them as I go)
- The screw holes in the front bottom part could countersunk another 1-2mm so the entire screw would sit nice and flush when fully tight down
- Brass screws would have been better choice that goes better with the weight.
- I understand the screw under the name tag is different due to length but maybe it's something that could be avoid with minor redesign?
- The height of LED arcs on left and right side could raise another 5-6mm at least IMO because when I try to pick up the keyboard I would try to hold it on the sides and right now it's impossible
- Switch Plate having screw underside mount to the Top Plate before Top Plate having underside mount to the Bottom Plate would have been a better construction.
biggest hope is for higher LED arcs on the side that would be great.
my 2 cents :)

Ehh, I kinda hate the printing. I woulda pay extra to get nice engraved brass ones with custom stuff. Printing on brass just looks cheap to me. Carved or smooth is fine, like, i would love to carve brass and then fill with enamel or something. But I HATE that I can feel the printing on the brass ones. Enough I'm not sure I'll ever use them. That's why I wish I had ordered the carved brass one like in that photo. It looks much more high end than any of the others.

I'd love to see WKL option for the top plate next round.
Oooo I like this idea too. Especially if I could still get an hhkb top too :P. I want a WKL just for the heck of it and cause it takes nice photos, but I know HHKB is what I'd use.

Love your manufacturing quality exclusive. Any chance for slight design changes round 2? Would like a slightly more refined design. Perhaps get rid of middle piece and make weight go through bottom piece, like the X60. Or a weight in the back, like the evil80.Thank so you advise

Perhaps get rid of middle piece and make weight go through bottom piece, like the X60. Or a weight in the back, like the evil80.I don't think taking out the middle piece to make it look more like the other keyboards would be a good idea. Sure there are plenty of room for improvement but in small amount. We can't have every keyboard looking like x60 or evil80 there needs to be some separation in design otherwise why even bother making it? Unless its a faulty design, making dramatic changes would do more harm than good IMO.

I'm in agreement with this. I love the current design of the e6-v2. The middle piece is refreshing and makes the board more unique.

Silver top & bottom, brass mid & plate, box dark yellows & 9009 with a brass Donut cable (& a brass Conklin Nighthawk on the way :p). I also swapped out the bumpons for some SJ5302 so it sits closer to the desk to show of the sexy curve better.

I love this keyboard, it feels and sounds so solid. Amazing work Exclusive! I'm definitely on board with future projects :thumb:
There are some scuffs on the weight and a pretty good nick on the right side LED cutout but its pretty much flawless everywhere that's visible when sitting on my desk.

I found out that last part after attempting to buy a 10 dollar accent kit through PayPal and being notified that someone had made a refund claim for 500USD for "package not received". I asked Exclusive about it and he told me that Oscar had talked to DHL and that they could not find his package. I have received a tracking number proving its arrival.
Oscar knowingly purchased a *virtual group buy spot* and is trying to make me pay for *the physical product shipped from Exclusive to Oscar, and lost by DHL*.
I have filed a PayPal dispute with a full explanation and image proof, but I warn you to not get involved in trades with him in the future.

I stated previously in this thread that I sold my spot to Oscar2177. He paid me through PayPal and sent the updated shipping information to Exclusive. Exclusive sent him the keyboard and DHL allegedly lost it upon its arrival to the place of delivery.

Long story lol, but kuang actually ended up helping me regarding the original E8-V1, but I had to do a chargeback on the E6. Then I also bought some extra stuff from jhoang (og gmk 9009, and some tuned switches), totaling several hundred $$. I never got any of it, and it is way past paypals 90-day policy. In total, I think I lost about $400 USD to jhoang.

180-days**, either way, its been long past those dates. I've spoken with Paypal on multiple occasions to see if I can get a different answer from different customer service reps. Sadly, nothing haha

Not the default layout, flashed a new layout on it on QMK Config with E6V2 LE. E6V2 and E6V2 OE wouldn't compile for some reason. On the default layout, I didn't have this issue, so it's definitely a FW issue.For some reason, the caps lock light won't turn off...any ideas? I have the QMK version A1(?)

e6v2 on its own is a directory so that won't compile.
OE seems to work just fine compiling, perhaps you had a wrong keycode. Regardless, please do not flash OE firmware for the LE board.
Could you try flashing the default layout again and seeing if the issue persists.
