[GB] iNETT Studio:SQUARE.X 60% Keyboard [GB Complete]
« on: Sun, 21 June 2020, 01:26:07 »
    12/21/2020 Update

    Hey guys. We have been getting a lot of messages regarding SQUARE.X’s shipping. We apologize for the slow progress. We are experiencing some issues on getting these boards shipped, but we are trying our best to get them shipped out by the end of this month. If you have not already provided a contact number, please send it to inett.studio@gmail.com as soon as possible.

    If you have already paid for shipping, your status should be updated within the next 2 to 5 days. I will also update your tracking number in your PayPal invoice. Please be aware that a batch of shipment was returned to us due to lack of contact number. We will contact those buyers separately to arrange another shipment.

    Below are some answers to the questions from buyers who have already received their keyboards:

    Every box comes with 1) silicone dampener, 2) dampener for space bar, 3) 4 x m2 screws for hot-swap PCB, not used for solder PCB, 4) bumpons

    VIA should have been loaded to all PCBs. If for whatever reason VIA doesn’t recognizes the PCB, please download the latest toolbox to flash VIA

    By default, FN(mo1)+Q to turn off backlight, FN(mo1)+W to adjust backlight, FN(mo1)+R to turn off switch lights, FN(mo1)+T to adjust switch lights



    We specified $35 as shipping on custom for all orders

    If you have any other questions, please send it to our email at inett.studio@gmail.com

    Below are some photos from users who participated in the China's GB.

      11/23/2020 Update
      We are ready to ship!

      Unfortunately, shipping cost has gone up significantly due to pandemic. We have asked around for the best prices, and below are the estimates for a regular Square.X that weights ~2.5kg.

      South East Asia: $48
      USA/Canada: $53
      Europe: $53
      Australia: $63

      We will be invoicing buyers in batches. Please check the Shipping Info tab in the spreadsheet linked below for your order's status. If you would like to update the shipping address after you have paid your invoice, please send your request along with your order number to inett.studio@gmail.com
      https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1N2XKpBBak214zigShFWnvcRwLYnmMpnGY5m9jc_GRuw/edit#gid=1002171768

      To ensure the PCB is well protected during shipping, we purposely left the sides attached. You can either snap off the sides by hand or use a clipper to cut off the stems. All PCBs are pre-flashed with VIA.

        10/17/2020 Update
        Hey everyone! Sorry I haven't updated this post in a while, but all the aluminum parts have been machined and are in the process of being anodized. PC parts will finish machining this month. Please see the latest photos below.

            Terms and Promises
            We will try our best to deliver the highest quality product to you, but we cannot guarantee every keyboard to be 100% perfect. If the keyboard arrives with imperfections, based on the level of severity, resolutions may include replacement, partial refund, or return.

            Updates Frequency
            We promise to provide progress update at least once a month, most likely more through our Instagram.

            Q&A
            Q1. Where is the weight?
            A1. The weight is the black part of the keyboard pictured below. It also acts as a background of the logos. You can choose either aluminum (anodized Black / Blue / Red / Green; E-White; E-Yellow) or brass (sand blasted).

             
            Q2. How about the N and the SQUARE.X logo that are mounted to the weight?
            A2. They are not part of the weight and will be in the same color as the case.

            I second this. The TaeKeyboards and Taeha Types videos don't accurately represent the product we'll receive due to the changes made from the prototype.

            HHKB and WKL are both possible with the hotswap PCB. Just don't put switches where the blockers are.

            Definitely in, have a few questions, though.

            1. Any idea how much heavier the brass weight is than the aluminum?
            2. Weight of the brass plate vs. aluminum?
            3. Which hotswap sockets are going to be installed in the hotswap PCBs? mill max 7305?
            4. Will there be any coating on the brass parts?
            5. Front height?

            I don't have the final prototype with me right now, but here is a short video of the 2nd prototype. It might be difficult to see, but I can assure you the plate no longer wobbles after the revision. The keyboard basically looks identical to what Nathan and Tae showed in their videos, and the sound would be very close if not the same.

            The black unit in the IC page has the polished chamfer. It might be difficult to see in the picture, but if you have seen the edges on the iPhone 5, that's what it looks like.

            Yes, HHKB is possible with hot swap. It would use the same layout at the picture below, but with the two Ctrl keys blocked.

            Can we get images of all plate layouts available.

            WK would have no blockers. (the white unit)
            WKL would have blockers on the 2 Win keys. (the black unit)
            HHKB would have blockers on the 2 Ctrl Keys. (the green and pc/yellow unit)

            Any way to add an extra case? Having trouble deciding colour combo  ;D

            You can always add another keyboard XD

            Just wondering, why isn't the half plate compatible with the hotswap pcb? Does the half plate come in all three layouts? Thanks!

            Is this unlimited GB or will there be a cutoff? Wondering if I have time to decide on this or not.  ;D

            Unlimited, but ends this Sunday.

            Definitely in, have a few questions, though.

            1. Any idea how much heavier the brass weight is than the aluminum? brass weight is roughly 600g
            2. Weight of the brass plate vs. aluminum? I am unsure about this one, but would be significantly heavier than regular alu vs brass plate due to structure
            3. Which hotswap sockets are going to be installed in the hotswap PCBs? mill max 7305? kailh
            4. Will there be any coating on the brass parts? clear coated
            5. Front height? 19mm

            Anyone know when invoices will go out?

            Will most likely be a day or two after GB ends.

            I want black case and red plate,weight.
            Can I decide with this option?

            Yes, you can choose ano-black for case, ano-red for both plate and internal weight

            Because the switches are not stable on a hot swap PCB without a plate. Yes, half plate comes in all layouts.

            FYI, OP’s “Items Included in Base Kit” section says +$60 for brass plate, but the form says +$50 for that option.

            I’m sure it’s subject to change, but do you have an estimated cost for shipping to the US - perhaps based off your previous board?

            How much does adding a second board to your order change the total shipping cost? 😁

            Please make sure you check your order at the Order Check to make sure your selections are correct. Changes should be reflected within a day.

            Clear coating is not PVD, it's just a clear coating to prevent the brass from rusting.
