[GB] Duck TC-V3 Kustom Keyboard

[phorx]

Does anyone know the dimensions for this board?  I'm looking at getting a TX bag for it and want to make sure I get the one that's closest in size.

Does anyone know the dimensions for this board?  I'm looking at getting a TX bag for it and want to make sure I get the one that's closest in size.

Width is pretty much identical to TX-CP, depth is a tiny bit higher on the TC-V3 as it has 0.25u spacing for the F-row compared to none on TX-CP, you might have to cut a few mm of foam if at all.

Yeah now that I look at it, they're close but I'm pretty sure the TC-v3 is a bit wider also.

Both keyboards have 19 columns of keys, the TX-CP has one 0.5u gap left of the numpad while TC-V3 has two 0.25u gaps on the left and right. So the only difference would be in bezel width, which is also very similar between the two.

If anyone is looking to offload their spot, I’d be willing to snag it!

I'm pretty sure most of you have probably been following on kbdlab but here's their last update in case.

"September 13, 2018

Now that the board production has been completed, Duck is conducting a full inspection.

I think the schedule will be delayed by several days rather than the thought, so delivery will be done in early next week.

Thank you again for your understanding.

I've been talking about the exported keyboard rabbits / sidewinders for a while now,

We plan to sell some of our exports in Korea.

After completing TC-V3 as it is already made, proceed with the tool for one day,

Orion deduction will be done immediately after it is completed within 1 ~ 2 weeks to delivery.

As it has already been made, we will proceed by the tool method.

Thank you for your help."

So probably 2-4 weeks for us?

I wasn’t aware of the kbdlab thread, thanks for posting this here.

I wasn’t aware of the kbdlab thread, thanks for posting this here.

i can't seem to find it on a forum that you can see without an account, but history has shown that i'm not very good at navigating kbdlab

You need an account to see the page, it's in the part of the site for ongoing deductions

All of our products will be shipped to you by post office.


A / S period is until September 31.

Please be sure to unpack the package within A / S period.
 
In case of PCB, if you connect USB by putting it on a conductor such as metal during testing before assembling,

Permanent damage to the substrate may occur and in this case the A / S is excluded,

Thank you for the test on the insulator such as a thick book.

Although it is expected that there will not be any special defect due to virtue testing by virtue,

Please pre-test with tweezers before releasing the switch.

Finally, new software for F / W will be released after Chuseok holidays.

The new software is designed to work on all O / S (including Mac and Linux)

It will also be integrated with the software for wireless keyboards to be launched after Orion V3.

We will release the test as soon as the finishing work is completed.

Thank you for your support

FYI: I'm a participant in local GB in Korea and I can confirm shipping has been completed.
Since next week (from 22nd to 26th) is a big holiday for Korea (Korean thanksgiving) its likely that the Int'l shipping will take place after that.

[phorx]

Hi Elton, so after we get our kits, on the off chance the PCB has an issue, what should we be doing?

Hype! Glad to hear it, do you have any pictures?

[HouseofSuffering]

I would also be interested in knowing how many boards were ordered/produced for the Korean group buy.

I went onto KBDLab and there seem to be a few posts with pics over there:

'TC-V3 + Tealios' by JH87



"The first custom keyboard is TC-V3.

LED and bottom row 6u, keying etc. There are many things to do, but I try to put up one."

'TC-V3 arrival!' by 파츠









"Hello, it's been posting in a long time.

It seems that the delivery date has passed .. when it comes or Oh, it is despair ..

The post office shipping catok that was not scheduled this morning came.

I was expecting the product I was waiting for.

Packaging has been very strong. You do not have to worry about breakage.
 
I am trying to use Flavobang for the first time.

Now, it's time to try out Steville in the morning.

Steville Where is the only place to sell black plastic parts ,,,"

Text translated by Google.

The boards look beautiful imo, and the anodization on the black looks especially great. This will be my first Duck board, so I'm super excited!

So, we can expecting the delivery around Oct?

[HouseofSuffering]

Sweet, the spacing on the front under glow LEDs seems to be improved a tad bit over the last couple duck boards.

[Darknight00z]

So are we shipping now?

[HouseofSuffering]

Hopefully soon.

Seems like they might be a couple weeks behind based on when the Korean GB kits were mailed compared to when Elton said they would go out.

Maybe we will get an update!

[dc_in_sf]

Just curious if there any update? Doing a lot of coding with work lately and wouldn't mind having a board with more keys than the 65% boards I normally use :-)

[HouseofSuffering]

I have been wondering too.

Looks like Elton hasn't been on in about a month.

I will shoot him a PM about an update. Maybe that will send him an email notification.

[elton5354]

Hi everyone,

I've been advised from Duck there are some delays. I will provide you an update when I receive any further updates regarding shipment of your boards.

Thanks for your patience!

[damagepoint]

Damn not the update i was hoping for, but an update nonetheless!  Thanks for the info.

[HouseofSuffering]

Delays happen. I would rather have a better end product than something that was rushed to meet a deadline.

Thanks for the update, Elton!

[Jae-3soteric]

Still sad I missed this Gb. If anyone wants to trade a spot pls lemme know

Hot damn, we got popular.

Someone posted their build on Reddit. Not sure if they’re from the Korea buy or this one.  https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/9oawkp/tcv3_with_gmk_hyperfuse

Looking great!

Lol, I saw that on Instagram this morning and was coming here to post it.

Looks great!

The owner 심플라이프 has a lot nicer pics of it on kbdlab. Hopefully he doesn't mind me sharing his pics.....

Someday Duck will realize how bad that uneven rgb underlighting looks. 5 LEDS along the front all spaced uneven. Its quite infuriating!

Yeah.

The middle one is really the only issue.



If that one was centered, it would look great.

It has always kinda bugged me too. I will probably fix it on at least one of my PCBS when they come in.

[Darknight00z]

Please document your process, I would very much like to fix it too. It can't be unseen now

[superdoedoe]

Hopefully one day someone makes this layout again that's not 11 degrees 🙏

[AuthenticDanger]

Hopefully one day someone makes this layout again that's not 11 degrees 🙏

Why? Do you like having functional wrists?

[tchalikias]

This might just be my favorite custom layout so far. Really bummed that I missed this GB.

[elton5354]

Still waiting for some updates. Will let you know if there is anything new.

Edit:

Orion V3 IC is up!

[Taeha Types]

Looking to transfer my spot if anyone is interested!

[M]

any idea of when these will be shipping?

[SilverBullet]

Looking to transfer my spot if anyone is interested!

I am interested and have pm you

[finalarcadia]

Also looking to transfer my all silver spot, PM if interested.

[Darknight00z]

I hope I can receive these before Orion v3 GB starts.

[elton5354]

Hi all,

Unfortunately, I am unable to do any more address changes at this point, which means we are coming closer to shipping. Stay tuned.

I totally keep forgetting to ask this, but what is the USB termination for this board? Mini B? USB C? Thanks, I need to get working on a cable...
