Thread approval bump.

For any potential group buy participants, please read through this post first: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=36773.0

[ChrisSwires]

Liking the design, I feel I have to check this everytime these days, plate thickness?

*Edit* Small gripe/suggestion (and apologies I missed the IC on this one), would it be possible to remove the 'slots' linking the spacebar stabilisers to the spacebar switch?

[Spaghetti]

How is the plate mounted?  Does the pcb support QMK?  Can we get some pictures of the board from a side profile?

[M]

I might have missed it but I don't think you included a way to purchase the board...

Also you say the plate is optional, I'm assuming everything still mounts stably without it?
nvm i misunderstood

edit: forgot to ask, how much does the sample weigh when fully built?

[Allo]

Do you have any pictures of the build prototype?

[oldcat]

More information pls.

[t4n6]

How many pounds does the keyboard weigh?

Also, I think you forgot to post the link to actually purchase the keyboard XD

[Mcnos]

Could we get a photo of the side of it? So we can see the height of the board on the desk. I'm still wary of the front height.

[The_judge_168]

So keyboard can be built without plate? Or there will be a different plate included?

( sorry for potato camera phone, I think the rendered image will be more accurate)

How many pounds does the keyboard weigh?
1.3kg/ kit ( plate aluminium + no assembly)
1.5kg/ kit (plate brass + no assembly)

Plate thickness 1.5mm

You can check on the top of the topic.

OK, I will take a picture after finishing the assembly. But I can say that it is quite thin, even when use the diffuser.

No, keyboard just can built with my plate, but plate will included in kit.

Okay once I see the picture I'll decide if I wanna join the buy, although I don't need to see it built or anything like that, so anything can help :)

Is there a limit to how many are available?

[Tree_]

Is there a limit to how many are available?

In the IC QuiFang said it would only be a small run of around 10~ boards but never confirmed if that was 100%, and the GB OP doesn't mention anything.

Are we able to get a completely assembled photo?

[audax989]

wait so the brass plate option is +50 and it replaces the existing alu plate or will it come extra.

[Poesjuh]

I know it’s also in the IC topic, but could you put all the pics in this one so I have it all in one place and can decide to buy or not?

Yes, aluminum plate will come with brass plate.
That is $ 220 + $ 50 = case + plate alu + pcb + brass plate

it come like extra

[foxmancore]

My Region is Japan if you wanna add that

[LightningXI]

Would it instead be possible to replace the alu plate for a brass plate?

[Etherealsound]

Do you have any photos of the completed board with the diffuser on? I'm really interested in joining but not yet fully convinced.

Same here. I've been keen on this since early in the IC but am hesitant to pull the trigger until I've seen a fully assembled photo of the proto.

Same. I'd like to see it with the acrylic layer

So with one day left I'm guessing we won't see a fully assembled shot before the GB is over?

[slxdegrees]

I think he was only looking for 10 and checking the order list he's already got them?

Yep, I too am waiting for a picture of the completed build before I commit.

[Tree_]

Nope, that's all I needed. I think im in.

Hi, can you give us an update on where things are at?

[audax989]

hope even with those that failed to pay that this board goes through.

hope even with those that failed to pay that this board goes through.

QuiFang did originally say he only wanted to do a small run, and 8 sounds like it lines up with that plan. The lack of updates is a bit iffy though as I was hopeful for a quick turn around based on his 10 week road map.

QuiFang: Have you ordered the case parts and PCB's yet?

[_ODIN_]

Updates?

[Purondo]

Since Quifang has disappeared for 2 weeks, I've filed a dispute with Paypal. Quifang now has 10 days to respond to that dispute on Paypal or the money gets charged back to me. Hopefully that's a better incentive for Quifang to respond to everyone than forum posts and DMs alone.

thanks for this. I know we are all taking risks with this buy since it is relatively small without any updates after payment. Please let us know any development. Or I may have to abandon this buy as well.
