[profanum429]

Thanks for the plate files! Planning on getting the HHKB one cut as soon as I can now

[onmybikedrunk]

Quick Diffuser Update:


All Payments received!  Smittysteve has forwarded the packing list and am currently stuffing bend-proof envelopes with the diffusers as we speak.  I'm shooting for them to go out via Priority Mail tomorrow!  I'll post up on completion.  Thanks to everyone who contributed (looking at you smittysteve)!

[onmybikedrunk]

Ok all tracking should be out... If you're an international order you may have gotten two separate tracking numbers from stamps.com - ignore the first one.  My printer went a little nutty on me and I had to reprint the labels - hence new tracking.  If there's any questions please contact me.  I will be contacting a few folks that I need more info from, so keep your eyes peeled.


Cheers!

EDIT: PM me if you still don't have tracking numbers by tomorrow/Tuesday (depending where you are in the world).  It's my first time using Stamps.com and they might not shoot out an email until the shipment hits the post office.  If anyone needs tracking before then for some reason PM me.

[Puddsy]

Just in case anyone else missed their tracking email here's a spreadsheet with everyone's info:


~snip~


**note: they will be physically sent out tomorrow - tracking won't update until then.  Thanks!

maybe don't post everyone's tracking info publicly like that

I deleted it but many group buys I've been a part of publicly leaves tracking numbers, including this one!  I didn't think a forum name and tracking number was a big deal.  BUT, I don't want to tick anyone off either.  So if people need more help, let me know.

EDIT: All diffusers were shipped out today.  Tracking numbers should update in the next 24 hours or so.

No problem Elton - for you, anything...  I see a few of you guys have started to receive them - awesome!

On another note... I have some keyboard porn for you guys.  Sorry for the phone pics... it's all I have.  These are new old stock Nixdorf's (AFAIK the only NOS known and yes, I already sold the other half).  I was really lucky and got ahold of the board long ago out of Finland for an incredible price (dude had no idea what he had) and finally cannibalized the switches after about 6 months of indecisiveness.  Needless to say they're incredible.  I also combined the Nixdorf screw-in-stabs with Zeal's to recreate the "Nixdorf" feel of a clear base with black stem.  Although the body of the stab isn't milky-white like a true Nixdorf, I love the way it looks.  More pics below (with our new screw-in compatibly diffuser)...  I really love this board, it's definitely the nicest one I own!  Now I just need Merlin's weight and it will be complete!

No problem!  To answer your question - yes.  You have to program in a few options on the function layer: RGB Mode, RGB Sel+ and RGB Sel-.  Pretty self explanatory but RGB Mode cycles through the different modes - breathing, color cycling, rainbow, heartbeat, solid etc.  Then with RGB Sel+ and RGB Sel- you can switch the colors once in solid mode.  RGB Sel+/- kinda do different things for different modes but for solid it cycles through the colors you have preset in O2D.

The board looks amazing, nice work 

On another note, I should be receiving my diffuser today which means I can put the Eagle back together. Thanks in advance!

Beautiful board Danny!

[anthorix]

Wooh! 

[lanyusea]

so... I'm still feel puzzled.

Could anyone summary why the Zeal stabilizer doesn't fit the diffuser? and why only Zeal stabilizer suffers this problem?


Thanks!

The diffuser is very close to the PCB, not enough room for the screw head

so what about other screw-mounted stabilizer?

Same issue most probably, it's just that zeal's stabs are all the hype currently.

I'm using Cherry screw in stabs in one of my builds and have no issues with the included diffuser.

That's why I feel puzzled.
I don't have a Zeal screw in stabs so I have no idea what differences there are between Zeal and the Cherry one.

[Potage]

The issue is more with the variable thickness of the front diffuser than with the screw in stabs.

I see all tracking numbers are now up!

We are going to have very, very similar vipers  :thumb:

[lanyusea]

could anyone tell me how to program the color of each backside LED?

I downloaded the O2D keymapper, but it can only program the keys.

Any tutorial or I should change the color of LEDs by desoldering and resoldering?

[kawasaki161]

Tools->RGB color preset.
Pick colors and hit apply. Then save .hex and then flash it.

people are all saying like this, but I don't have the LED choice under `tool`when trying to program my Viper


I download the latest tool 02D_KeyMapper_Custom_v1.8.622 from http://duck0113.tistory.com/category/%E2%98%85Firmware%20Program

or am I using a wrong tool?

[aaron6301]

Try using 1.10

Unfortunately my client only shows a Viper/Eagle v1. Can you link to a download for the V2 firmware?

I got my Viper today, Holy f**k  It's so nice.

Still considering about soldering and sockets.

Very hard decision 

[ipreferpie]

Unfortunately I'm shorting my keyboard with some of the Zeal stabs. I identified the two offenders and tried masking the area with tape, but it's still happening. Does anyone have tips or photos how they overcame this? Also, is anyone interested in trading a Viper SS plate for my aluminum one?

I've had good luck using some tiny fiber washers I found at home depot. They are thin enough for the screw to thread through and I've had no issues at all with shorting now on 3 or 4 boards I've used them on. I just picked up four more packs this weekend actually and now sort of use them anywhere I think there may be an issue. I can send you a PM with the exact part number I'm using tonight if you'd like.

Zeal recommended using pieces of plastic baggies.

[onmybikedrunk]

As someone else pointed out (look back in thread for proper credit) if you take a small bit of teflon tape and carefully wrap the screw up around the head of the screw it stops the short... worked like a charm for me!

[ipreferpie]

Thanks very much for the suggestions!
