Been waiting a year for this next drop. Best believe I will be buying a few for all my 60% boards.

PS.
We've just moved to a new platform, so the site is still under construction. It will be ready before GB starts.

Guys we've edited the GB time due to our site is still not ready for GB.
We are still waiting for platform official to set us up. So new date will be after Lunar New Year.

There's a FPC connector on the back took the top position. So another key position needs to be install inverted as well.

How much space would be needed inside a case to fit the PCB + battery module?

We set 90mm x 44mm x 8.75mm for Cora's battery compartment.
8.75mm is measured from back of PCB to top of battery.

i am stubborn as possible

, but how does the battery module connects to the pcb? i still want to try with my own batteries

although i will likely still buy a module just i case i fail, as a backup, or for future use in an other project, an holder like that can be used in so many projects i would guess (depending on how it connects).
Thanks

There's a connector on back of PCB to connect the module.

Guys. New site is ready.

It depends on how many orders we get. If we won't be short in BT module then delivery time will be 2 month approximately.

Nice, copped mine with the little battery compartment

Any recommendation of BL-5J vs BL-5C?

sybase · « **Reply #76 on:** Sun, 21 February 2021, 23:48:10 »

Just wondering if the Taiwan Post shipping option comes with any tracking or shipping insurance? If not, is there is any way to add it? I'm in the US btw. Excited for this group buy!

Edit: also need to ask what kind of JST battery do you recommend we use if we don't use the battery module (i.e. 3.7V Li-Po battery should be ok?), and is DHL Express the recommended shipping option? how reliable is Taiwan Post?

IBMweMissU · « **Reply #77 on:** Mon, 22 February 2021, 00:43:57 »

Order placed, for one of each PCB - thrilled!

5C is a bit smaller in power comparing to 5J. I use 5J personally.

Yes Taiwan Post comes with a tracking code as well. Just not as detailed as DHL Express.
You can check it from our shipping policy here: https://www.play-keyboard.store/legal/shipping

We are now using this site to track our Taiwan Post packages: https://track.aftership.com/
It's more detailed than the previous one we used.
It's unfortunately that our latest code is not available to show details in tracking site, or I'll upload a screenshot for you to check.
And of course it's recommended to use DHL Express instead if you have enough budget.

3.7v Li-Po batteries were what we used for previous version PCBs. So they are okay for sure.

Any chance the mounting points could be removable. If not, I'll be cutting mine off with a rotary tool

Are you trying to mod the case into a top/sandwich mount?
