Can someone please clarify why the viper is so popular? It has less mod keys than the eagle? Is it just because it looks like hhkb?

I would have thought eagle with fn key next to right shift would be the ideal layout?

Because there are too many 60% boards out there already. Viper looks very special.

You mean July shipping right? Or July gb start?
That's cool, gives me time to buy soldering stuff and save some more $$

It used to the end of May and now July. But that's alright. That means I have more time to save up for this and get all parts ready (especially Raindrop round 2).

elton5354 · « **Reply #258 on:** Sun, 11 May 2014, 23:45:47 »

Maybe the end of July to August..

Yeah it's impossible to be end of May as the Lightsaver V2s won't be able to make it to that timeline as well..

So let me get this straight, all I will need to make this into a working keyboard is a usb cable, cherry mx plate mountable switches, keycaps, stabilzers, and leds? That's going to probably be about another $100 huh?

LEDs optional, but the rest of the stuff you need. If you want your stuff to look nice, then it will be expensive, but you can get a cable for really cheap (or you might even find a spare one lying around somewhere in the house) and some nice looking doubleshots for cheap.

In for a viper, looking for assembly service to add 62g clear and green led to it

That's basically what I want, except for the led colors.
Teal mods(is this possible? they make teal leds, right?), white alphas, and red Caps Lock for me.

Does anyone know if the Viper supports reactive leds, as in if I press Shift, only the Shift key lights up?

feizor · « **Reply #269 on:** Tue, 13 May 2014, 03:11:10 »

62g clears seem popular but are hard to source, can we have the option of including 62g clears with the GB?

I doubt it.
I just plan on getting them separately, and sending them to the person who will be assembling my board for me.

You can get them anytime from mechanicalkeyboards.com, unless you don't live in CONUS.

Of course you can. I mean the shipping could be a concern.

Maybe Sherry? I know he has bad reputation on GH but I never have problem with getting accessories from Sherry.

I think he does have 62g's in stock right now. Or at lease it gives you the option to add them to cart.

ebacho · « **Reply #284 on:** Sun, 18 May 2014, 22:59:32 »

Shipping will be around $50 for a single unit, if the Duckmini v2 buy is anything to go by.

elton5354 · « **Reply #285 on:** Sun, 18 May 2014, 23:02:00 »

Yeah, depending on your location, it can be anywhere around $30-$60 by EMS.
