Your second photo shows the keyboard with the "Prt Sc/Scr Lk/Pause" cluster. Does this mean I can choose to install switches on the PCB instead of the LED module?

For quality control, this JER-A06 80% is limited to 40 sets here. If too many orders, that would prolong the estimated shipment time.

It’s removable. I think you can also use switches there:

Two options. you could not assemble LED sticker if you don't like it.
Post by: shower_king on Thu, 21 June 2018, 02:01:01
1,The LED Sticker could be assembled or not. That is depending on your choice and favourite.
2, The cord is not included in the custom keyboard. If you want that, you could PM me for that. I will note that in your order. each is 7 USD.
3,If you have any further questions ,feel comfortable to reply here or PM me.

Where is this spreadsheet of all orders that you guys are talking about? If you dont mind linking it. All I see is the order form, not the order spreadsheet.Earlier, the Google Form had the analytics feature enabled, which gave responders to the form a link to "See previous responses" and provided a view into people's individual responses that included personal identifiable information. Now, that feature is disabled, so you filled the form after the change.

It will not, putting aside that you'd have to cut off the mounting points of the plate, the spacing on the F row and navcluster is different from what other TKLs use.

The designer will offer a cord for 80% JER and a cord for 20% respectively FOR FREE.
I will note that for you who have ordered cords before as free.
If you want extra cord, PM me to confirm that.

Yeah. I filled it in as soon as the post appeared, but I edited it when I saw that the responses were public. I then edited a second time once shower_king confirmed that the form analytics were closed from public view.

Now that we more or less know that GH isn't changing significantly for the time being, just seconding the idea putting the list of usernames and their orders in the OP (so people know if they are in the buy or not, how far off their submission was if they didn't make it in, and the status of their payment).

You position doesn’t change when you make edits, this has been discussed before in previous threads. If you haven’t received an invoice and you’re sure you submitted before the limit was met, then have patience, shower has said he’s busy but working on it.

Safe yes, but it will be very hard to get everything aligned properly.
Since this is a plateless design, i would go for pcb mount switches.

You definitely wanna use pcb mount switches. If you don’t mind misaligned switches, or if you’re careful enough, then sure go for plate mount.

Im looking to mount some nice ergo clears and and my own creation, HYPER browns (basically 62g lubed mx brown in retooled blue housings).
I'm thinking of going ergo clears or spring-swapped browns. (mx browns using 55g korean spring)
Will probably be using the housing and leaf from Outemu Sky switches but I haven't tried the switch yet.
I do like the stem from Aliaz switches very much and have another build planned with those.
I suspect the silencing from the Aliaz switches would negatively impact the feel of this PCB-mounted keyboard. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Would you consider offering the straight quick-connect cord for an extra fee? The one pictured in the first image you posted.

Just a friendly reminder to please post the breakdown of who/what was ordered? I think that all the participants in this buy would appreciate the information. If anything, please post a list of usernames with the payment status of their order? In group buys like this it gives people a bit of peace of mind when their payments have been acknowledged (especially when there is so little communication from the GB runner).
Thanks!

CNC for JER
(https://s1.ax1x.com/2018/08/01/PwtIl6.jpg)
PCB under measurement
1. CNC for JER 80 and 20 is almost all done now. The next step is anodizing housings after all CNC has been done as scheduled.
2. The PCB is fixed on samples for further measurement. This will be done in about one week or so.
3. I will update participant list here excluding private information. May be I omit some changes you have PMed me before, please email me using: shower1983@gmail.com
4. About colors, currently, there are four colors including :NCR(Top:dark gray, Bottom: light gray), white(Micro arc oxidation)，Black, Dark gray. I will update later after EVE sendind me sample colors. If you want to change colors or I have mistaken your order's color, please send me email as well to correct that at : shower1983@gmail.com
Thank you for all your support and feedback.
BTW, update a new custom keyboard set from JER designer.

On the form, there was a color choice for "other" with a blank space next to it, so it was probably written in. I'm surprised there wasn't a MOQ for any of the anodized colors.

That guy email me how EVE could done Red like MIRA red. The EVE team told me they could and the participant need pay extra fees for red anodic oxidation.

Yeah, You have a penetrating sight. Actually, I have received more than 40 orders and sent 40 invoices chronologically. Unfortunately, some give up their slot and I cancel their orders and leave the slots to late-comers. The late-comers won't pay in time. Thus the designer cancels the orders which exceed payment deadline.

Anyone have pictures of the finished microarc oxidation/white cases? Also, does anyone know if these are shipping direct from the factory, or to shower_king, then to us?Seconded I would love to see some pics of the final product, im hoping the white come out very clean. Tracking would also be nice :thumb:

The labels say G D+ D- V
[attach=1]
The idea is to cut the RJ connection off the end of the cable and solder the wires to those points.
Tie a knot in the cable too to add some strain relief so you don't accidentally pull out the wires.
I have no idea how the cable is wired internally or if they're all wired the same (so that everyone can use the same color code), so the safest thing to do is use a multimeter to confirm for yourself per the USB spec:

Anything that will complete a circuit so you know which wire is connected to each pin in the USB plug will work.
You could even jippo it with 2 pieces of wire and your cat's laser pointer.

J80 cable assembly line sequence as shown below,
Precautions:
1: Need to cut off the cable interface of the supplied cable (refer to Figure 1)
2: In order to prevent the line from getting stuck in the outer casing, the inside needs to be treated a little bit - the thickness of the outer surface is cut off. (Refer to Figure 2)
3: You can tie a cable tie at the position marked in green in Figure 3 to catch the bottom hole and prevent the wire.
4: If you use a wire socket, you need to polish the socket 0.5mm, the socket model is: eh2.54, 4P
If you use the indicator light of the lamp module, you need to remove the black horizontal resistor at NL.CL and change it to vertical soldering. Refer to Figure 3 for the red circle.

your ziptie is in the wrong position. The bottom picture, right above where you soldered your usb cable there are 2 holes. The zip tie is supposed to go through those holes, keeping the cable from moving around. That's the extra security measurement.

It sounds like you're used to dealing with QMK/TMK.
You don't need do any of that with bootmapper client.
There is a windows app which communicates with the PCB over USB to modify the keymap, RGB settings, macros, etc.
You can get it here:
http://blog.winkeyless.kr/155
And here are some instructions:
https://meckeyalpha.com/pages/guide-on-bootmapper-client
The app is used to flash new firmware onto the controller and configure all the settings when you're done.
The settings are stored in a different part of controller to the firmware so you don't need to re-flash the firmware whenever you want to change something.
If you just want to configure the keymap, macros or LED settings you don't need to re-flash the firmware.

For some reason I don't remember the bootmapper client being so easy to use. I think the old Spr1t pcbs used a version, but I could have sworn there was a usb/button press. Or I'm confusing it with jigon or whatever client duck's pcb's use.
Thanks for the info! Hopefully we all have no problems getting things up and running.

Your memory isn't failing you.
The SPRiT PCBs work a bit different and need the button press to enter programming mode (or you hold down esc or tilde while plugging it in iirc). That whole PS2AVR vs PS2AVRU thing. With newer keyboards the app puts the PCB into programming mode when you hit the upload button and reboots it once done.

I put mine together this evening. I'll post some pics when I have more light.
Some notes:
Make sure the switches are properly mounted in the PCB before soldering. There isn't any plate to hold them in place while doing the deed so it's worth paying attention to. I messed up on a couple and had to reflow the solder joints to get them seated.
The LED cover thing. None of the screws seemed to fit.
Even with the cable is thinned like the pics above you're still going to end up clamping it between the two halves. The zip tie in the position shown will fit just inside the case and provide strain relief. If you want to zip tie it to the PCB too go wild, but I do recommend the zip tie on the cable as shown above.
The wiring as shown in the pics also worked fine with no issue. Soldering those thin wires to the PCB was a tedious though and I had to try a couple of times to get it right. It's really easy to overheat such thin wires.
All told it was kinda frustrating to build, but it makes for a really nice typing experience. I can definitely feel the PCB flexing a little as I type (67g Zilents). I could see this being by daily driver for the next while.

I needed to thin the cable a great deal for it fit properly into the case. Feels Great to type on and loving the feel of not having a plate. Will post pictures tomorrow too tired tonight.

Kinda wish I had gotten in on one of these. How's the plateless typing feel like?
Typing wise it's nothing crazy - it's a bit bouncier and softer than other keyboards, but it is still not too far from other top-mounted keyboards because there's numerous, stiff mounting points close to the PCB and the PCB does not have relief cuts to let it bounce further.
However, I would say that the cooler aspect of the keyboard is how it sounds -- it has a much thockier sound than many other keyboards I've tried. Here's (https://clyp.it/rn0cwd00?token=c75572834f5dc7e89f7bd10949209547) a typing test to demonstrate it.

Everything seems fine and in perfect order. Reflowed the solder and still no go.
I think if it was just a diode, it would only affect 1 key right? not the entire row.

I'm in Germany, but the tracking says that the shipment is shipped to London and signed for. OP is not replying to my e-mails and PMs on GH and SF express is telling me it's been signed for and ignoring me too. 750 bucks and months of waiting for this crap service. Does anyone have any idea what I can do about this? :(

From what i know.. best way to contact showerking or the JER designer is via QQ
Do you have a QQ number for me? Please PM me. I can't seem to get in contact with him, been like this for a month now.

There's an IC for it. Check the Interest Checks thread. Someone should close this thread.
