Are there any real life pictures of the black used in the 3rd case. It looks more dark grey than black and just tying to judge the tone. Thanks!

Post by: Puddsy on Sun, 05 November 2017, 00:40:35
I’m a bit confused. At the top it mentions the color options + aluminum weight, but the bottom states It’s $385 for the case with brass weight, plate and PCB.
The default the brass weight, right? :)
Pretty sure it's a typo. AFAIK there is no brass weight.

What firmware does the PCB run anyway, i couldnt find it listed anywhere. Is it something that QMK could be ported to?
I believe it's bootmapper client.

He needs to get permission from Percent, doubtful there will be another International run. Your best bet would be Taobao
Last full taobao run sold out in 37 seconds.

Any possibility of a run with the pink case and blue weight? That's my favorite combo.
Doubtful, given that we were only allowed 2 colorways, whereas the China GB had 10+.

There WERE also the 910 and the 268. A zeal65 is supposed to be coming before the end of the year, but I think it may be low profile. Ca66 is a bit odd, but I still think it counts and is coming.
There are probably a few more too, but if nothing else, it just shows demand for 65% is growing, and so more people will step in to fill that niche.

1. Invoices for the first 14 have been sent, we're sending it by batches so the rest should receive it over the next 12 hours. Invoices are in SGD because we are paying Percent in RMB.
2. Some people have kindly replied and told me that they will drop out. I will reraffle these slots.
Some explanation about invoicing in SGD:
Recently PayPal and Shopify converted our business account from USD to SGD. While it's possible for us to have money in both currencies, PayPal does not allow us to withdraw it in USD, only SGD. For the Kira buy this was unexpected and I paid for production out of my own funds since we would be losing quite a lot of money if we were to do USD (PP) > SGD (bank account) > USD (factory). This time around Percent has kindly allowed for me to pay in RMB, so SGD (PP) to SGD (bank) does not incur any further charges, which allows me to then remit in RMB to Percent as well without any loss, since we only have to take into account 1 currency conversion.
If you've emailed/messaged me i'll be replying it through the day, thanks for your patience.

Have Percent Studio made more keyboards/keysets than this and the skog? I just found out they had made a keyset also which is excellent!
I hope we will see more Percent GBs on geekhack in the future!

What are the odds that the Canoe might be run again in the future outside of China? It's been run multiple times on Taobao, so maybe Percent wouldn't mind if it's run again after the current set? I don't want to give up hope of getting myself one at some point.
No idea as of now
Invoice received and paid. I didn't see mention of color on the invoice, I assume we're getting our first (non-white) color selection? but I just wanted to confirm which color I was in for.There will be a public Gsheet for you to check and confirm the colour choice :D

Just paid mine now (I don't check my email that often q.q), hopefully in time. Some unsolicited advice: if you do future GBs, I'd recommend putting ~20 people on your "waiting list" and making that visible as well as the winners, so that those people are aware to check back in case they do get in later (e.g. Elton does this for Duck GBs).

Canoe has been available twice in China, and only once to the public, it was a pre-stock sales.
The first batch in China was kinda color combo pre-proofing among some friends.
Future batches for China are planned.
As for int'l, there might be another run, depends on how well this one goes, but it will be with another color combo.

Now, it doesn't light up, no keys work and when plugging into windows I get "The USB device malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it".
I'm asking some people for help but nothing I've tried is working. I'm searching google for some help but, it seems like the board is not getting power or the device drivers just got wiped clean somehow. I've tried plugging it into a mac, PC and various different USB cables.
For reference, my FC660C plugged into the same USB cable and port works perfectly fine.
I'm highly disappointed that this is an issue with such a "high end custom" keyboard.

Sorry to bring the doom & gloom but my Canoe stopped working today. I didn't have a problem with it until today when it suddenly locked up and kept repeating the last key pressed.
Now, it doesn't light up, no keys work and when plugging into windows I get "The USB device malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it".

that's crazy. I have no idea what would cause something like that to happen. Hopefully someone else here will be able to help you git it fixed.

If the MCU were busted windows wouldn't recognize something is plugged in at all.
The firmware tells windows what it is and without it you'll get that message about not recognizing it.
Do you know what firmware and MCU it uses?
You're probably going to need an ISP programmer to reflash the firmware and bootloader.

Makes sense it would be a mega32. No native USB support.
If you know someone into Arduino programming they should have one.

There are normally headers on the PCB to plug in to.

If Add on kit means a second plate/pcb, then my entry is not correct. I ordered one as well, but through monokai directly (Kerri told me to order it like that and that the two orders are noted as belonging together:)).
About the mouspad: The black/red one is not available, right? Or as the others mentioned teal on Navy Blue would be nice as well.
I‘d still be intrested in a different one, depending a bit on the price.

I'd ask for this to be optional, I'd rather wait for it than go through the troubles of customs twice. For me that currently means taking 2 trains and waiting in line for an hour or two.
BTW what service are you using to send the stuff out? I'd pay extra for DHL Express as they bring it to my door where I can pay the VAT, no customs there.

For some reason DHL Express was close to $30 over the other options available, but if it helps you I don't mind since shipping invoices are individual ones anyway. I think I'll keep the option open for those who are in the Canoe buy to have it shipped together.

Some updates.
1. Combined shipping:
Some Aussie users have contacted me for combined shipping, no worries on that I'll be sending you all confirmation emails once we receive the boards later on before I ship, thanks for the message.
2. Mousepads:
Unfortunately due to the high base and shipping cost (this thing is like 650g) I'm looking to only offer the mousepads for Canoe GB participants. We're looking at $18 SGD before shipping so it should be better to combine it with the boards and shipped together. If you would like to have one even though you're not part of the buy please let me know, since shipping to Europe is a whopping $25 SGD for just the mousepad -.-
Link to form for mousepads, fill it in and I'll get back to you. (https://goo.gl/forms/a0fQc5sMhALIsoli2)
3. Production:
CNC is done, we're going through the anodizing process. As most of you know this is the most difficult and problematic part so we're waiting with our fingers crossed. Percent is very, very meticulous about QC and he's been at the factory checking so we're looking good so far. I would like to ask everyone to temper our expectations about the ship date, we won't get it this year but we are definitely churning things out at a good speed.
Hope everyone have a great week ahead!

I'll have to calculate it again since it adds quite a bit to the final shipping cost, but it'll all be subsumed under one shipping invoice.

There have been arrangements for a couple of people who transferred slots on their own, without requiring refunds from me. That works, with both parties emailing me separately to confirm the trade. This is at your own risk as well.
If you would like to sell or transfer, please either do it on your own and inform me, or wait till the shipping invoice is going out, thanks

I am interested, but how would we go about doing the transfer? Or could you wait until shipping invoice like beamingrobot suggests?
Would suggest waiting till then :thumb:

I got white. This looks great. Still trying to figure out what keyset to use. Looks to be somewhere between beige and white.

Red Honey alphas and Demonic mods look nice together :P

I'm looking to let go of my spot. I ordered the silver top + gray bottom + cyan plate combo. I would like the payment to go through the GB runner, but I haven't heard back from him yet.
If anyone is interested in taking over my spot, do let me know.
Thanks!

On PayPal and GBs:
I'm sure by now many of you have heard of PP horror stories and how GB runners should have notified them ahead of time. Let me just say that in my and other GB runner experiences, notifying PP ahead of time, including all info and even using a business account does not guarantee any recourse once the money comes in. Prior to this GB we have been in constant contact with PP through emails and phone calls, given that their SEA headquarters are situated here in Singapore. Despite assurances from them that once a large amount of $ comes in it'll be fine, the amount slated for Canoe was immediately frozen due to a few factors PP highlighted:
1. Product was not immediately fulfilled (Which we informed them prior to the buy that this would happen)
2. Refunds (PayPal viewed cancellation and reinvoices due to a few transfers etc as refunds by unhappy customers, which to PP signalled that we were having trouble fulfilling items)
Since the entirety , or close to the entirety of the Canoe funds were frozen, we decided to go ahead with the best solution at that time. I paid for the entire production out of my
So, why not refund and reinvoice? Any refund will flag us to PP, further extending the freeze period. I confirmed this with the rep over the phone and while she was sympathetic this is how PP works. I've sold quite a few of my personal boards over the past few months in order to further accumulate buffer in case any unfortunate things happen, which so far is fine :thumb:
So the moral of the story is this. PayPal is erratic and highly volatile from my perspective. For future buys I will consider Shopify payments (CC/DC) and bank transfers heavily over PP, since Shopify still provides customer protection for goods purchased, and deposits $ regularly without freezing huge sums for no reason.
This is why I'm only processing transfers much later, I hope this helps to explain the logic behind my actions.
Regarding production: Percent is finishing up Skog and then he will return to Canoe. Some units are close to done, and not to worry since kingnestea and I are in close contact with him.
TL:DR: PayPal sucks, get a debit card.

Sorry to bring the doom & gloom but my Canoe stopped working today. I didn't have a problem with it until today when it suddenly locked up and kept repeating the last key pressed.
Now, it doesn't light up, no keys work and when plugging into windows I get "The USB device malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it".
I'm asking some people for help but nothing I've tried is working. I'm searching google for some help but, it seems like the board is not getting power or the device drivers just got wiped clean somehow. I've tried plugging it into a mac, PC and various different USB cables.
For reference, my FC660C plugged into the same USB cable and port works perfectly fine.
I'm highly disappointed that this is an issue with such a "high end custom" keyboard.
have you ever fixed this or find out what happened?

I was attempting to fix up a mate's Skog PCBs since long story short, he received one that had a few dead columns and the replacement didn't even get recognised by Windows. Turns out yes, first one had several dead columns and the second one had either a dead MCU or shorts in the power circuit, because a ISP wouldn't talk to it.
Not impressed by that, a keyboard is only a display piece without a working PCB.

Fairly certain the plate and PCB only support a single layout, so no.

You can see in the photos both standard ansi style and tsangan style bottom rows are supported by both the PCB and plate. The backspace does seem to be fixed layout tho.
(https://i.imgur.com/HOjY3Qy.jpg)
Note the gaps on the left/right of the various keys on the bottom row and the extra socket next to the spacebar.
it looks most of the normal options are there, 7u or 6.25, and stepped or normal caps.

We can not update you constantly because Percent is unpredictable.
3 months ago he said the MAO units are ready to ship, then 1 months ago he said the grey boards will go out first.
And 3 weeks ago he said he would ship out the black ones, and eventually we got some MAO units shipped out 2 weeks ago.
What would ppl think if we keep giving faults updates? Beamingrobot will update you once we have something solid.
Please be patient, we are doing our best, and I'm sure Percent is also working hard on it, but he is a guy who works 8-9 hours a day for his day job.
I'm in touch with Percent on almost a daily base. So nothing to worry about.
The last status I have is the MAO units will roll out this weekend, the black boards are packing, and grey parts are awaiting anodization due to a shut-down of the anodize shop lately. PCBs are ready long ago.

Be prepared to wait a year for this board. I'm at almost a year from Percents Skog group buy with no end in sight. Although it does look like hes given up on it and moved to fulfilling this one.

Reading and interpreting what kingnestea said, let's go with no. Basically, Percent just kinda does his thing and eventually ships stuff out, so I'm sure when beamingrobot knows for sure he's getting a batch, he'll let us know if he wants to ship it out. No point giving false positives as kingnestea mentioned.

Your Canoe has arrived! We are in the midst of packing it. Once this invoice has been paid, we will be able to schedule your shipment.
I had one of the MAO finished ones. Good news, boys!
Post by: beamingrobot on Sat, 07 April 2018, 22:30:31
What I have with me now:
10 MAO units, packing them at the moment to have them out this coming week. If you have received an invoice it means yours is ready to go.
What I'm still waiting on:
Add-on kits (PCB + plate), rest of the units.
This also means that if you ordered a PCB + plate with your MAO unit it will have to wait, since I'll ship them out together.
I'll update more once I receive more units, hopefully soon.

Update.
What I have with me now:
10 MAO units, packing them at the moment to have them out this coming week. If you have received an invoice it means yours is ready to go.
What I'm still waiting on:
Add-on kits (PCB + plate), rest of the units.
This also means that if you ordered a PCB + plate with your MAO unit it will have to wait, since I'll ship them out together.
I'll update more once I receive more units, hopefully soon.
I cant complete the payment because it allows only credit card payment. I've replied to the mail and i hope this can be resolved asap in order to avoid a delay.

Hey Beaming, sent you a message about an address change because I took over brimstoner(aeryxz) spot. He told me he got an invoice and we thought it might be best if you send an invoice directly to me.I'll get back to you on this by tomorrow, don't pay the invoice first! :D

GMK 9009 or GMK Honeywell. Depends on color combo. I got other gmk sets which might complement white case. For example GMK Oblivion (gray alphas) which probably will look good on it.

JTK Red Riot can't happen soon enough.
I'm so tired of spending $150+ on a set of GMK keycaps only to leave half of them in the tray because I'm putting them on a 60/65% keyboard.

A quick update, the rest of MAO units are shipped last week to Beamingrobot, he'll process those orders ASAP.
Percent is shipping some black units and most of the add-on kits out this weekend.
MAO orders with add-on kit shall be able to ship by the time this batch arrives.
Grey parts are still not back from anodization yet.

Thanks!
Actually the led in the right top corner cant be mapped as caps lock indicator. I've tried it via bootmapper but it does not offer the ability to pair capslock with that led. This is sad ofcourse becuase such feature would be really that cherry on top of icecream.
Anyway the led is off on my board because i do like just solid look without any lights.

That stinks. I actually forgot that it was running bootmapper. I was thinking it was a custom ps2avr like the SKOG. I believe that one has the ability to work with the led above the arrow cluster.
So what options are there for the led cutout on the Canoe? Is it just the color of the RGB underglow settings? In-switch backlight settings? I could live with that. But yeah, Caps indicator would have been much nicer.
EDIT --
Okay, I see that it is 2 RGB leds that are configurable in bootmapper and function as a power indicator.

Its a diffuser for the RGB leds.

Yep I saw that, sorry for the unclear post: With extras I meant additional PCB and plate I got with a MAO canoe in the GB. According to the last post of beaming, they would arrive later than the MAOs and thus the orders with additional extras will be delayed as well.PM‘d about mousepads, address adjustment and general status update. :)

Some units of black + gold, some units of black + grey, some of the add-on kits (PCB + plate) Hopefully this means that I can finish up the MAO and black ones within the next few weeks.
For those who transferred spots, I've updated it on the public sheet. I'm waiting on some of your addresses/emails etc, so let me know once you get to it :)

Bumping again because I'd also like to know. The main idea is "we are waiting for anodizing" but the international buy has the spreadsheet of confirmation of the status of their order; whilst those of us in the private GB are just fingers crossed. Especially considering the initial timeline was supposed to be like 30 days. Its now been 7 months and Paypal protections are out the window.

I don't have access to that, will wait for nestea's reply.
Shipping invoices are going out for the final 2 MAO units (whew) and a few black/gold + black/silver ones. Some of you who ordered the black/silver and did not swap to the black/gold will have to wait for the next shipment.
I've gone down the list as it is when assigning the shipping invoices for those who ordered black/silver.
I'm looking to ship this whole lot (15 boards) on Mon (7 May). Please endeavour to pay your Shopify invoices before that, thanks!

all base kits with silver top case are on the way to Beamingrobot.
However, he might be lacking some add-on kits to ship 10-ish orders.
Which means, if you've ordered a base kit with add-on kit, you may have to wait a little bit longer.
The other orders should be able to ship soon-ish depending on Beamingrobot's agenda.

Ohh, I'm sorry, I misunderstood what you meant by the GB running from your country (Singapore vs China :p). I wish you luck in another GB running internationally, though I personally recommend that you ask a friend who can speak Chinese to work with you to purchase and forward a Chinese GB unit to you, after having to wait 6 months for the international GB one.

You're not going to find one that will work b/c of the way the top is extended. You could use b.mini from Winkeyless, the Sentraq 65% or a Tada68. Both the tada65 and sentraq have in-switch leds positioned on the top causing issues with cherry profile caps). You would have to connect the usb inside of the case (not sure if there is room for the connector though) and run it out the back. This means you would have to disassemble to remove/attach the USB cable in the future. Also you wouldn't have the top right led, but that's probably not a big deal.

Curious why you are asking. Are you having trouble with your PCB or just looking to pick one up? I ask b/c my canoe PCB was pretty much DOA but I managed to fix it by reflowing the MCU pins.

No, no problem as yet, just anticipating options once I have it in hand. As I took over someone's spot I didn't get a chance to order a spare pcb/plate.
There are a few switches I would like to try, namely the new royals from Noveltykeyz, or a lighter zealios variant, and I suspect I will butcher the pcb in the desoldering process. Thanks for the lead on the Sentraq and Tada

Love the Canoe. I guess I had different idea on what the MAO White should look like. I would call it MAO Grey :/Nice, this looks amazing! Good job! What switches did you put in?Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/eQBp6Dx.jpg)
Received mine as well a few days ago and had the same reaction: Why is it called mao white? ;)
I haven‘t built mine yet but I still really like it so far despite me not realizing what color the MAO really was going to be! :) Super excited to get this built!
By the way: Thanks beaming for all your work and making this GB happen! Even though there were some delays (which you most certainly couldn‘t control), the GB was really smooth, especially because I felt that you always let us know all the important updates! Plus you were super friendly and helpful!
It's called MAO white because the target colour really is white lol.
Also, as you said, kudos to beamingrobot for the hard work, all we had to do was wait, while robot had to wait and deal with **** from us as well as percent. Thanks again, mate.

None readily available, might get one commissioned if the new pcb also ends up hot trash.

Got my canoe today and I am already having pcb issues. My whole 1, q, a, z, lgui column of keys do not work at all. I tried re-flowing the solder around the atmel chip and the traces look fine, what else should I be trying to troubleshoot?
Are you using screw-in stab (like zeal one)? I had similar issues on EXENT and M65A PCBs with screw-in stabilizers. If you do, try to get the screw off, see if it fix, if yes insulate your PCB with some tap for example before putting back the screw. Globally this looks like a short somewhere

Unfortunate to say, my Canoe arrived with a dead PCB. Bootmapper won't talk to it, and the left 3 columns do not work. I will try to use an ISP to reflash it, but I don't have much hope.

Fortunately my Canoe did arrive in working order, however I did have that screw issue. One screw was just strolling around in the case and the others were almost falling out as well. Just glad that it didn't damage the case, I know someone with a Moon that got damaged in shipping due to a loose screw :S

Mine arrived with 1/2 of the keys not working. I put a lot of flux on the MCU pins and touched a chisel tip soldering iron to them (I usually keep my Hakko around 650). Fixed everything.

Had almost the exact same problem and reflowing worked for me. I put a lot of flux on the pins and then stuck a chisel tip iron to it. I put the tip almost straight down, spanning 2-4 pins at a time.

Same here, had 2 columns dead and reflowing the microcontroller fixed it. I will say that some of the pins were lifted and not seated flush with the traces. So even though you reflowed it, there could be a chance that it still isn't making contact to the trace.

GH PMs are down so if you've messaged me I apologize if there's no reply.
Nestea and I are trying to get extra PCBs directly, probably without plates. This is separate from those who ordered the addon kit, and if we do manage to get it I'll pay for the lot first and then let everyone know when I receive it so that you'll get a chance to buy it. Priority goes to those in the buy of course.
2 blacks and a bunch of addon kits left, should be soon :thumb:

I had to reflow the chip to fix a column that was not triggering (0pl....), it solved the problem.
I will post some pics of the build later on.
Only issue: bad anodisation of the gray bottom... there is one clear "line" which is lighter in color, super visible, I don't know how it pass qc.. If it was in the interior it could have been ok (yeah the interior is perfect on mine!), it is still the back, so not visible all day, but STILL (for the amount of money we pay for these keebs!)

Sure, if you can:
1. Order from Taobao at 2018.6.1 20:00 Beijing Time, its a FCFS from a popular maker so that goes how it usually does
2. Pay the seller the balance of 2000rmb within 5mins and join the QQ group (converse in Chinese if necessary)
3. Forward the order from China to the EU

Please note that if you buy from the TB GB you will need to converse in Chinese or have someone to help you ship/proxy, also please don't approach me regarding anything from that buy since I won't be involved and can't help as well, but if you're already in China you know what to do :)
I will be selling the units as FCFS, retail on my store once I get them to get around PP funds being frozen, using the funds that have been slowly released. Please refrain from reserving a slot before that since it won't be fair for anyone I think.
Hope this helps, R2 retail will be done with help from kingnestea as well :)
For R1 PMs, I will get back to you on those in these two days.

I'm curious to see if there's a way to purchase an extra PCB/Plate, can anyone fill me in?
Fairly sure beamingrobot will put em up on monokei.us when he actually get's them, last I heard he's still waiting.

How about the google form? Also the website seems a bit broken it's really hard to read.
Are the board already made? Or they're going to be produced?

Alright everyone's gotta chill. R2 is still in production so we've gotta wait for that to complete, and then it'll be sent to me and only then I can put it up. Gform will come in the next few weeks, and once you're on the mailing list I'll give ample heads up and time before it goes up for sale.

just finished building mine today and the entire home row isn't registering any key. i didn't really test the pcb before the build, but the soldering is clean. could this be fixed with a firmware update? if so, could someone share the firmware for this? thanks.
Unlikely, that it is the firmware, here is a link to the keymap for BootmapperClient though: https://www.dropbox.com/s/0qedoydfs4taj0r/canoe_keymap.hex?dl=0
You really should have tested your PCB first, but you can try and save it if you're confident by reflowing the corresponding pin on the MCU (or all of them lol)

would you know how i can identify the pin that I should reflow on the MCU? the contact points on this thing are extremely tiny.

Follow the trace that connects the dead row all way. If the trace reaches a hole, that means the trace continues on the other side, flip the PCB around and continue following until you eventually reach a pin on the MCU. If you have a multimeter, you can just test continuity between a switch hole and the pins on the MCU until you find the right one.
Yes, the contacts on the MCU are tiny, so it's advised you use a chisel tip to reflow optimally without causing bridges. If you aren't confident, you'll have to wait for beamingrobot to get extras in, and hopefully organise something with him.
I wish you the best of luck, and please test all PCBs you plan to use before doing so, it really does save you a lot of pain.

Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions! Last question. What I should try to do is touch the contact points with the soldering iron tip, and give time for the solder to reform?

Basically, yes. Tin the tip of your iron, then just melt the solder until it looks liquidy, then take off the iron and let it cool.

Sometimes my Canoe won't connect to the pc, even moreso depening on what cable I use. Currently plugged in to a 3.0 anker usb hub that's directly connected to my MB. Plug it out and in and it works again. Anyone else that may have had this problem and/or knows a solution? I only have this with the Canoe, all other keebs work fine.
To put it simply, the protocol that the PCB uses to talk to the OS is a funny one, and it tends to hate the following:
- Crap cables
- USB hubs
- USB 3.0/3.1
So the solution is to connect directly to the motherboard, preferably on a USB 2.0 port, though I'm sure 1 or 2 ports on your system will work. An unfortunate limitation of V-USB, which is necessary for the MCU (ATMega 32A), which is necessary for ps2avrGB.
So feel free to hate all 3 of those issues LOL

Half-half, more reliable in a way, but still not as good as a board not needing V-USB (aka a board that natively uses QMK or TMK).
EDIT: Just to add, feel free to try both. Just make sure to download and save the keymap using BootmapperClient first, that's a bit difficult to recover.

Hmm ok, that's kinda dumb. So either I place an extra usb extension cable only for the canoe and put it in a 2.0 port, or what I did now and that's using a 2.0 port for my 3.0 usb hub :P Kinda counterintuitive but it's worth a try :)

Haha, thx :) For now I've tried connection hub to 2.0 port. If that doesn't help I'll just add another cable only for keyboards and plug that into a 2.0 port on the MB and only use the hub for wireless mouse recievers and usb sticks.
Thx for the quick reply though :)

After another attempt at reflowing, with a tad of added solder, I got my PCB working :thumb: Looks like most of the problems lie with the soldering of the MCU itself.

An observation some may find useful; I've noticed that sometimes the "fancy" USB cables (Mechcables, ZapCables, etc) have problems being detected by bootmapper. Every time I run into this issue, swapping out the cable for the most basic USB 2.0 -> Mini-USB has fixed it (think AmazonBasics-level basic).
Another BMC troubleshooting method I learned back when I had my KBD75 (assuming you're on Windows 10) was to go to Settings -> Devices -> Bluetooth & other devices, select ps2avrgb, and remove device. Unplug and replug the board, and wait for Windows to set everything up again.

Sorry i did not answered the second question. My bad. Yes silver top, titan gray bottom, dark cyan plate, cyan weight. Tho hyperfuse is actually more mint than cyan but netherless in my opinion this is the best combo i could pull off.

Anyone getting issues with the bottom row cutting in and out with the pcb? I built mine, but there's no issues with my solder points, seems to be a usb issue
full row not responding sounds like a weak solder joint on a pin to the MCU (the chip on the PCB)
Many people (including me) have had issues with rows not working, and they were able to fix it by reflowing those pins.

The chip is surface mount soldered, so there is solder below the pins; however, it is not making a proper connection on one or more or them. You need to reheat that solder and help it to flow to the pins that are on top of it. Put some flux on the pins and then touch the tip of the soldering iron to the pins. The flux makes it so that the heat will better travel all around and under the pins. It doesn't matter how much flux you use, you can clean it up with isopropyl afterwards. Don't use any solder or you will most likely bridge the connections. I just put my solder tip across 3-4 pins at a time. I hold the chip down with my spare hand until the solder on the pins re-solidifies. It gets hot quickly, so take some time between pin groups.

Hmm... How hard is it for someone who knows how to design PCBs to just copy this? I'd be more than happy to join a GB for PCBsCreating a PCB with the same functionality is probably not that hard. Thing is, one would need an original to take measurements from. I could probably do it, but I don't have a lot of time on my hands these days.

Some extra PCB will be available from Beamingrobot with the R2 batch
I hate to be that guy, but do you really want more of the same dead and dying pcb's?
I have no idea what happened with this batch(or did anything really happen? I count less than 5 ppl here with issue that couldn't be fixed simply with a reflow. Else than this, all I can see here is bullsh*t), but I have 4 built Canoe PCBs here( 2 of them are over a year old now), none of them have any issue.
Neither any of my friends have issue with the PCB, and tbh, Canoe/Skog sold a lot more in China, and I have never heard of any general issue with the PCB.
But we have asked the PCB guy to check every single PCB with the next batch before he ships.
For the record, 2 guys in China reported issues with their Canoe PCB and got replaced while Canoe has sold more than 150 kits in China now.
And Percent never sold any indiviual PCBs because he's not the PCB maker, he orders the exact amount he needs for GBs, he lacks sometimes PCBs when there is any with issue.
This is the reason why the add-on kits from R1 is not shipping yet. PCBs will come with the R2 batch.
The only Canoe PCBs sales was through me because I have direct contact with the PCB maker, and that sales was to Oblotzky and some friends in EU, all PCBs are tested with no issue by Oblotzky.

While a reflow may seem simple enough to you or me kingnestea, please do understand that not everyone who purchased from this group buy is capable of resolving this issue.
I appreciate the update, but you do need to understand that this issue is less than trivial to us, even if it just works for in China.

If I had to take a guess, the PCBs might be just dying in international shipping, with temperature changes.

Nope, the pcbs are packaged as well as can be expected. I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's to do with the type and amount of solder used for assembly. I guess the ENIG finish on the pads may also be a factor.

Firstly to all who are waiting on the addon kits, my apologies for the long wait. We've been bugging Percent constantly (esp kingnestea) and the plate + pcbs should be on their way to the shipping company soonish. That's about as much as we know for now.
I've ordered 20 extra PCBs with the help of kingnestea which are not part of the main buy. I've paid for those and have received a tracking number, ETA should be next week if everything goes well. I will give some details on how these PCBs will be sold later on, but please bear in mind I will only prioritize: those who are waiting on their addon kits and those who are in the buy.
As for Round 2, there will be news when I receive it. The entire set of R2 has been paid for, and I'll update on when it goes on sale etc once I receive it. That will be FCFS, announcement will be done via this thread and no place else.

They fit in the 60% one - I had mine in one of the bags at the Uk meetup on Saturday

How snugly does it fit? I measured my Canoe to be 12.50"/317.5mm. The 60% keebag measurement says 300x110x45.

On my old canoe, tilde works fine. On the new canoe, it doesn't. I even copied the HEX from the old canoe and flashed it to the new one.
Still no dice. Nothing wrong with the board or the pcb at all. FN + SHIFT + ESC works fine to call tilde, but my old canoe can do it with SHIFT + ESC and I'd like to duplicate the behavior.
Any tips?
I'm also in the market for another PCB and Plate, not because anything is wrong but because I'd like to do the bandaid mod on my old canoe.

Something is a little weird with my new Canoe. BootMapperClient won't allow me to use SHIFT + ESC to call the ~ key.
On my old canoe, tilde works fine. On the new canoe, it doesn't. I even copied the HEX from the old canoe and flashed it to the new one.
Still no dice. Nothing wrong with the board or the pcb at all. FN + SHIFT + ESC works fine to call tilde, but my old canoe can do it with SHIFT + ESC and I'd like to duplicate the behavior.
Any tips?
I'm also in the market for another PCB and Plate, not because anything is wrong but because I'd like to do the bandaid mod on my old canoe.
Did you ever figure this out? A buddy of mine is running into the same thing on his canoe.

I recently bought a Canoe on r/mechmarket and it worked beautifully for about 2 hours. Then I started playing around with the function layer key to see what buttons adjusted the backlighting, top LED, etc. I managed to turn on the key backlighting and shortly thereafter the PCB started acting very strange. The keys would stop registering after a few seconds of the keyboard being plugged in, and then the keyboard went completely dead. I'm not sure if it was a coincidence in timing with me using the function layer but I have no idea what to do at this point. Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot?

OK, so I think I just bricked my Canoe PCB... I'm really hoping someone can give me a suggestion of how to troubleshoot since I'm totally stumped.I have noticed that the canoe pcb is pretty picky when it comes to usb cables and/or usb hubs. Have you tried another cable and if you use a hub connect it directly to the PC/MB?

Good call. Yes it does have screw-ins. I’ll take them out and see what happens.

Hello guys i build my Canoe and it works. But the Weird thing is that it only works with one cable i have. I have 2 Zap cables and only one of them work. I tested the non working cable on other keyboards and they do work fine but with the Canoe it's a no go.
Any ideas why this is happening?
Not exactly sure what's happening but I've read on previous posts that the Canoe is super picky about what USB cable you use. I personally haven't had that specific experience with my Canoe but I can tell you that certain custom cables I've purchased have not performed well with various keyboards. I've literally thrown them away because they're so undependable.

Hi guys! I'm coming from Reddit and I'm thinking about the Canoe as my first custom. Is the R2 for this GB over? How are peoples overall experience with the keyboard? I read some people had issues with PCBs.
I think the Canoe is one of the better customs out there. The build quality is exceptional, I'm a fan of the 65% layout and they look badass. I'll go so far as to say if I had to give up my entire collection with the exception of 1 keyboard, I would probably opt for holding on to the Canoe. That being said the first PCB I bought died in about a week but luckily I was able to find a replacement PCB that has been going strong for about a month now. My hope is that Percent is improving the reliability of their PCBs but I honestly don't know.

Curious, did you ever try to fix the PCB? What were the symptoms?

No, I never could get the PCB to work. Everything was working fine until I started playing around with the LED settings using the function key and the function layer. Shortly thereafter I would plug it in and the keys would register for about 10 seconds and then it would stop registering anything. After about a day of this, the PCB stopped working completely. None of my computers even recognize it as a keyboard any more.

You use bootmapper, it's a ps2avr MCU.

You can set the PCB to bootloader mode by holding either backspace or delete (i forgot which) while plugging the keyboard in, or by going into Options -> Set Bootloader in BootmapperClient.
You need either bootloadHID to flash a hex on, which you can find here: https://www.obdev.at/products/vusb/bootloadhid.html (https://www.obdev.at/products/vusb/bootloadhid.html), or use Options ->Firm Up(select .hex) in BootmapperClient.
This is for flashing a QMK hex file on to the board I presume?
EDIT: An alternative to bootloadHID: http://vusb.wikidot.com/project:hidbootflash (http://vusb.wikidot.com/project:hidbootflash). Same thing, but it has a GUI. Put in bootloader mode -> Find Device -> Open .hex File -> Tick Reboot AVR, Press Flash

Have you reflowed/added solder to the MCU? If not, start there. Ensure each pin looks soldered on afterwards with no bridges between pins, flux helps a lot.

I think it's great they are succeeding enough to offer high quantities at a lower cost. Let's just hope PCBs are good quality. Did you see that it specifically says it's carved out of "American Made" aluminum? What?! Okay...
Would really like to see some "extra parts" for sale on the site sometime. Would love to pick up an extra plate and PCB for my MAO version.

Similar Issues... Mine spent 1 months with intermittent disconnects and having to plug it back in multiple times a day. Finally it's just dead. Flashes LEDs once when I plug it in but nothing...
Thoughts on this being MCU? Or did i fry it with ESD or something?

Post by: dwarflemur on Tue, 14 May 2019, 15:52:28
On the plus side, I got a shipping email this morning.
On the minus side, they shipped to an address I don't live at anymore, despite my several attempts to change my address with them and what I thought was a confirmation that they had done so.
Does anyone know if USPS change of address forwarding will forward a chinapost package?
Anything coming through USPS should in theory go to the new address, but I seem to remember it being less reliable or not applying or something for packages.

That only should be valid if mail forwarding is still in effect. IIRC that only happens for 1-2 years after your move.

I got the Siren, and its a dark green !! I thought it was a dark blue when ordering, but I'm super happy ! I really liked this green.
If I could get a dark grey top, and brass weight and plate, that would make this the perfect case for Nautilus Nightmares !!
I made the picture a bit warm to get the green to look real, the unedited shot was too cool in tone and looked blue.

This looks too green. Perfect for nautilus nightmares as you say, but the blue would be easier to match with many other sets.
Post by: coffeeshopcoder on Tue, 21 May 2019, 14:47:42
I was on the lookout for a green board (was thinking green polaris) so this works for me personally, but I'm sure there is going to be disappointment for some.
I'm not too sure about the green/red combo (weight is ok, its underneath and looks unique, but I will try to get a black anodized plate for this.)
The silver top looks okay and makes it fairly neutral, but a dark grey or black would have worked better I think.

Same order number range over here, also no tracking.
I'm not in any rush to get it, I just want to know what my random color is haha. If anyone got their random color already I'd be curious to know what it was/if all the randoms are the same or they are different.

I was order 105X and received tracking overnight. However, entering the tracking number says no data available... We'll see when it shows up I guess :p
After a tracking number is generated it usually takes 1-2 business days for the tracking number to show actual tracking. Check on Monday and it should show up.

Any update on shipping? I'm still waiting to get mine. I know they sent out an email about 3 weeks ago saying that some of the boards had some shipping issues, I would assume that those issues were fixed. I even sent Guo an email last week asking the status on my purchase. I went with a random Canoe, hopefully it'll be coming in soon.
I've also e-mailed them with no response. Hoping they are shipping again

A friend and I ordered canoes when they went up, they sent us a tracking number in early may, it never moved or was never shipped, now it shows up as expired. We got that email (the standard one that wasnt even BCC'd correctly) and figured wed contact them again after two weeks of waiting for any more info.
We've both attempted contacting them around 13-14 times collectively. Weve so far got one reply that said (two weeks ago now) that all the Canoes would ship by the end of June and that would include ours.
So far no updates since then but were waiting until July 1st to charge back.
The Canoes on order were a yellow and random/gray/white.
Still hoping for a yellow, but at this point it seems obvious Percent is not worried about honoring our orders or even replying to our concerns.
Post by: nasp on Mon, 24 June 2019, 00:24:58
Also, source says that this will be the last GB for Canoes, but a possible revision of the Canoe might happen in the future (BT).
Post by: derznation on Mon, 24 June 2019, 09:50:47
Was told from a source that seems reliable that there was a delay from the manufacturer (Eve). Your Canoes should be coming. No estimated timeline was given, but other folks that have contacted Percent have been told that they will be shipped by the end of the month.
Also, source says that this will be the last GB for Canoes, but a possible revision of the Canoe might happen in the future (BT).
Thanks for the update, hopefully your sources are indeed reliable. Would be kind of weird for Canoe to say that all manufacturing was done and that they were having issues with the shipping company if that wasn't the case.

My canoes are lost. They were delivered but not to my address. I'm in Philadelphia but got delivered in Maryland where hundreds miles from me.
.
We ordered together, our tracking was the same number and it was shipped to someone in SykesVille MD, and signed by a D.Pat
We either got the wrong tracking from percent, or they straight up are lying at this point.
They've dodged our emails for far too long, and our patience with them is wearing very thin.
Im moving to florida in a couple weeks, if they dont show up in the next few days I dont know what well do.

Weird update, percent sent our stuff to Maryland, to someone else who ordered a canoe in Feb, dont know GH's rules so I dont want to dox them.
Let me know if I can post a last name so we can find out if hes on here?
I dont know what to do. ;(
So the person in Maryland received his Canoe already? If so, that's definitely a big oversight considering he'll have 3 at this point. Hopefully he'll do the right thing and reach out.

UPDATE: The guy in Maryland actively contacted with Percent immediately after he got our Canoes. We were able to contact him thanks to Percent. He will ship those Canoes to us tomorrow on Percent dime.
Glad it worked out man, TBH most legit companies won't put customers in touch with each other even if they f'd up like this, but good for you!

Flashing the board to QMK actually fixed these problems and it works all fine now, however the backlight now doesn't work.
Does anybody know how to get the backlight to work with QMK on this board?

I made the plate file and an acquaintance from a local Discord decided to take up the PCB along with a CA66 replacement. Just waiting on PCB now. The plate has gone through 3 revisions and is now ready. You can expect split BS support as well as split space bar on the PCB.

This might sound like a sarcastic question, but I’m serious - is there a way to buy more pcbs for the canoe ? (Other than mech market)
Someone is working on a PCB for the Canoe, but I don't know an ETA. Perhaps it'll come before the end of the year. What I can say is that I have made the plate file from scratch and it is ready to go. I've done 3 prototypes in different material just to be sure.

Love the keyboard but hate the PCB. Randomly the top right led just don't work reflowed everything need to probably replace them. I like what you make percent studio but your PCB's are garbage super low end. Still waiting for someone to make a high quality replacement PCB :(
I just finished building my canoe and the pcb is already acting up. The caps lock was not working that well so I resoldered a new switch and same thing. I had to use flux so that the solder flowed more.

Man, i really need a softer plate for my canoe. My 205g0 lube job has now worn off on these gateron blacks and it just feels so harsh on the aluminum. Would love to rebuild with a better PCB and softer plate. Hope someone is still pursuing this nice addition to the beautiful Canoe
I built mine with holy pandas and I have to say I really dislike typing on it, I think for similar reasons. I think rebuilding is in the near future.

It's *really* frustrating how Percent deals with this. I have tried contacting them several times (email, their website, instagram) and anything about spare PCBs gets ignored. I've spent a good amount on Percent KB's but frankly this kind of thing makes me not want to give them another cent. Every other custom KB organizer provides better support. This is broken.
Really? Most vendors don't have extra PCBs.
Just off the top of my head, I've had issues with Space65 and Exent. My friend's Volcanno660 also has issues.
It's just the nature of the hobby.

I'm not saying they stock PCBs on hand, but there are usually easier ways to get extras and most will at least acknowledge your inquiry. I'd be satisfied with at least being told to get lost.

I did email them about maybe buying a spare pcb from them if they had any extra. AND I got a reply! The reply was "check that I didn't accidentally turn on sticky keys and restart my computer". Sticky keys is definitely not the reason my pcb stopped working and restarting did nothing lol
LOL... maybe I shouldn't be upset that they ignored me.

Post by: quadrotiles on Mon, 11 May 2020, 01:17:44
I definitely did all the things I could think of with qmk. qmk usually fixes all my problems, but not this time. Also, my problems did not come from qmk, so you're probably safe if you just want to flash a new layout.
Post by: cbbplanet on Mon, 11 May 2020, 03:04:46
I messaged someone about commissioning a PCB and he said he was already planning on designing one and selling them on his site. So I think we're probably going to have a solution to our problems fairly soon :) As soon as they go on sale, and if no one has done it already, someone should post a link to them in this thread. I'm sure they'll be advertised well enough :)thanks, good to know. please keep us updated if there are PCB out there.

If there is enough interest, perhaps can get them to run a pcb GB or something. I think it is probably just one or two batches of PCBs had issues.
That said, all GBs do not come with warranty - just saying, not trying to defend Percent or anything.

I am pretty sure there is enough demand do do it. I've seen many people looking for canoe pcb. It would be lovely to get hands on that demo pcb with a split bs which you were flashing on your IG.

If Percent permits, it should not be hard to do a Canoe PCB GB.
Maybe someone can reach out to Kingnestea or Percent Studio about the possibility.

Usually they just ignore all e-mails regarding the PCB
More people need to voice the concerns so they know it is not a single case but worthy of a GB (at scale). There is no way they will do a GB just for a single person, it is really not economical for any GB runner to do that.

My issue was the fact I just could not get a response at all. It's a bad experience to spend the amount you do on a custom keyboard and not be able to get any feedback (or in the case of some others helpful feedback). I didn't expect a free board or a PCB just for me, but some level of support to me as someone who supports your business and has purchased multiple boards from you (Percent).

Understood. Just to be clear I am no longer part of the Percent Studio team. I just helped you folks communicate your concerns to him in the QQ group. From my understanding it is not Fugui's full time job, he is probably already doing his best in responding to some emails. And it is a common understanding of caveat emptor -- the GB items do not carry a warranty. To be fair to Percent, most other GB runners probably won't respond to such isolated issues, especially quite a while after GB.

First. I want to thank you oldcat for helping us communicate it to Percent. I personally have some issues trying to log back into QQ in US or else I would've took additional steps.
Second. I do agree with you that more people have to voice concerns, single complaints really is hard to resolve after manufacturing process is completed for such a long time. There's not much Percent can reply back other than i'm sorry? but for future reference, please clarify with the runner about after-sales service! This is definitely a lesson learned for myself and understand why people buy so many extra parts now.

I'll be honest - I didn't know you were! I do follow your current projects (Space65 customer and hope to be a part of Think65v2) and have always appreciated your posts/communication.
What you are doing here is beyond scope so I am sure many others like me will be very thankful as will the folks over on Reddit who need PCBs but aren't on here.

I'm not trying to dwell on this since we have a path forward, but if more attention would have been taken to those messages we could have told him there was in fact a need beyond one or two people. He recently sold some Canoe V1's but I don't think he sold standalone PCB's on the website (english one). Anyway, we are moving on. :cool:

I'll be honest - I didn't know you were! I do follow your current projects (Space65 customer and hope to be a part of Think65v2) and have always appreciated your posts/communication.
What you are doing here is beyond scope so I am sure many others like me will be very thankful as will the folks over on Reddit who need PCBs but aren't on here.
Thanks, I was part of Percent Team for a while helping them with overseas communications in a pro bono fashion. And I am a huge Canoe fan. I, too, am worried about the PCB, therefore, I stocked a few just in case one fails. Now I have limited time to work on my own board (while having a demanding day job), I will not have time to help Percent, but they are in good hands like Kingnestea.
For extra PCBs, I'd always recommend people do get them because no one wants a nice looking paperweight, say after 6 month or a year or two! Having an extra set of PCB and plate, interestingly, also increases resell value, in case you want to clear some of the stock to embrace new boards.
Another thing related to communication is, it is getting harder and harder for Chinese makers/GB runners to communicate given the government blocking the internet, and even blocking the use of VPNs. It is sad, but not much we can do at this point.
I will follow up with them on QQ to hopefully push the PCB GB!

I'm a little worried about this PCB situation. This was my first board group buy and didn't have the funds for extras at the time. How likely is this to be an issue?Unfortunately from my experience, it's likely. I've burned through 2 PCBs—maybe I had extra bad luck tho. Oldcat was kind enough to sell me a couple extras way back in the day and they came in handy.

Generally speaking, I try to buy at least one spare PCB per KB just in case. I've only had the Percent one fail so far but it's good insurance for any KB honestly.

Are the Gen 1 and Gen 2 PCB's interchangeable?
No

This new Skog Reboot looks nice as well!

Quality of the Canoe is very high IMO, but PCBs are unreliable.

More recent PCBs (as of 2019) are much more reliable than previous runs.

Any updates on the Gen 2's?
According to their Discord server, Manufacturing is complete and they're in the middle of packing and quality control. Should begin shipping soon I imagine.

Nope.

The tracking for my order has been stuck at "Label created" for two months now. I have contacted FedEx and they told me that they never received the parcel from the sender, so they can't give me updates either - and Percent isn't responding to my emails.
I've been seeing Canoe Gen2 boards pop up on mechmarket and r/mk for several months now, so I guess most of them should have been delivered by now?
