Title: [IC] Hyper 7 R3 (173%)
Post by: Mechboards on Sat, 04 April 2020, 06:42:46
Hello everyone,

Jae (Jae-3soteric (https://geekhack.org/index.php?action=profile;u=64763")) has kindly passed this project onto us and after a long while, here we are!

[attachimg=1]

Hyper 7 R3 Interest check

The NEW Hyper 7 R3 PCB's will include the layout below

[attachimg=2]

The PCB's will be fully complete, with only the ribbon still needing soldering in place

We will run an option for PCB's only, as well as options for bent plate case (material still unknown at the moment but we're looking into CF, ALU, SS) and the 30 x 2u stabs you'll need (clip-in)

We're looking to run this alongside KAT Space Cadet (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=103480.0) which will give you all the keycaps you'll need. GB will hopefully start end of April and will last for a month. It MAY be limited to around 75
spaces.

We're actively producing a prototype which will be shown before the GB stage.

PRICING TO BE CONFIRMED.

Man this + all the proper Space cadet caps does look awesome! I hopefully will be grabbing KAT Space Cadet so if I got the extra loot when this goes live I might just jump on a kit. Especially if a cheapish case can be offered for this as well. GL with the project moving forward guys!

I created an account here just so I could say how badly I want one of these. Name your price and I'll pay it.

Will this definitely be going to GB?

I don't want to miss out on the KAT Space Cadet so I'm thinking of just getting in on that now. Also, does anyone know how long that will run?

This will definitely be happening. He's big but he's not "nevergonnahappen" big.

Rough Pricing:
PCB (1 x PCB breakable into 2) - £125 (old pricing was £100 R3 includes an extra row and layout options for top board)

Bent Metal Case (2 x bent brushed stainless steel plates with hardware) - £125 (old pricing was £100 for top plate, this includes 2 to make a sandwich case)

30 x Screw-in Stabilisers (with screws) - £50

Shipping will be calculated after order is placed.

GB page will be up soon. Please give me feedback on price to make sure this is feasible.

The prices look fair. My only request is to have the plates, pcb and stabes as separate items. Thanks again for all your hard work.

Kinda missed the Kat Space Cadet keycaps, any idea of hyper 7 extras will be sold? Or if any compatible keycaps excluding DSA Ferrous (not a big fan of the DSA profile)

What kind of connector is on the board? Is it USB-C, Micro USB, or Mini USB? I didn’t see it listed.

Just wondering which of the Space Cadet themed cables from Space Cables to pick up.

Thanks!

I've joined the GB for the Hyper7, and I want to make sure that I'm ordering the right KAT Space Cadet keycaps to go with it. Is it enough to order the Gray Alphas keyset and the Hyper 7 keyset? Or will I still be short some keys?

Was there every a GB thread created for Hyper 7? I'm wondering where we are on production since the original estimate was for orders to start shipping early-mid July.

I snagged one of the extras.  I should have had one in R1 so glad to have got it this time.
