I might be moving in September, will I be able to change my shipping address at a later time?
-
Oooo finally!! This looks good.
-
Love the colors and contrast! Very tempted
-
Looks awesome! Happy to see that this will still be made ;D How about the text on the decorative strip from the previous version of Noah? Hoping that would be available since that looked very nice to me. :cool:
-
nice :]
-
Is there preset color combo that people can pick from?
-
Awesome! Quick question about shipping. I won't be at my current address 6 months from now, will I be able to contact you and change the address?
-
Nice, can't wait!
-
Any Gundam editions avail? Really neat how you did that for the Abel-X
-
When will this be live? :)
-
Would be great if there is option for internal weight or could we have few internal screw hole made to cut and insert internal weight ourselves in the future ;D ;D ;D
-
I think you should delete the declaration part. Answer privately when someone asks
-
SF Express is very cheap to Hong Kong. Will the price of shipping reflect that? Thanks
-
So, just to make sure, there's no way to have something similar to this ? (no red bottom available, no yellow decorative strip ?)

> provide many coating
By coating, do you mean cerakoted? Will this be at the same cost?
Also, is this the same PCB and firmware as the original version? Any updates to properly support VIA?
-
My wallet is hating me. This and think is a must buy for me!
-
I am pleased to see this is finally going to happen. I hope this is just the start of things to come, so many of us would love the opportunity to get into some of your GBs but don't live in China. Can't wait to get one of these!
-
can we have the plate file after GB?
Maybe later. I cannot promise it.
-

Unfortunately not. We are helping develop your imagination.
lol
-
Awesome! Quick question about shipping. I won't be at my current address 6 months from now, will I be able to contact you and change the address?
Sure. You can change your shipping address anytime. You better talk to me through discord, because i dont usaully check gh message.

Its same thing to cerakote, but we use different powders. As you know, cerakote is a brand name, so we will just call it coating.
Of course, its same price. ;D
And yes, its same pcb. Its no longer support VIA. Its our pcb designer's choice. We will respect it
-
Ooh, I like a lot, wish there was a purple though! I'm a big fan of mixing and matching colors to really personalize a board more.
What's the typing angle? I didn't notice it if it was listed.

Any chance of hotswap availability? :thumb:
-
Is the white meant to be more a beige like on renders?
-
Sorry, but is not $410 + 40 quite a steep price for a top-amount?
-
for a top/bot/plate/weight design, yes, 410 would be on the high end. but this is a bit more complex with more pieces, so no, 410 isnt steep.

When it comes to blue/green/red/pink -- what shade of each will you be doing? Is it going to be like in the renders or will it be a random anodizing color in the same family of colors?
-
Super hyped abt this :D

ooo my wallet is going to feel this one...

Take my money now please and thank you.

Will we have the chance to buy a rubber as an extra since it isn't included?

Super excited to join in on this one, I like the light bar more than the dots! Reminds me of the light bar on the 1.2og!
-
Also curious if hotswap is a possibility. Looks great.

Sign me up ;D

Seems like yellow decorative strip is extra.
-
So many permutations!!! Sorted out the color combo I want. Now, the wait for GB to start.

Not now. Maybe in the future.

Sry i dont get it. As i mentioned on the top, we will let you decided what color combo you want.
-
So many combinations, if only there was an interactive way to see colour choices ;D
-
More renders or pictures of the boards please... I can imagine myself spend hours on choosing colors and will still not be able to decide which options to go for :-\ :-\
-
Yeah, more renders of the colours would be great. I've been struggling to come up with a combination of colours that I like but its proven difficult since a lot of the colours offered in previous runs in china are not available.
There doesn't seem to be many dark colour options thus far apart from black and would it be possible to have red as a decorative plate as an option?
-
I got THE question :D
What is this "tools and toys" inscription ?
-
I think my only issue is no other plate options. I think if you can commit to releasing the plate file though it wouldn't be an issue. Love the board though!
-

Right, I was so hyped when i saw the dark green/red render… now i am kinda disapointed.
Why so many colors are no more available?
-
Yeah, i really need yellow decorative plate and red bottom case, to end my story, please

DECLARING AS 20? I literally love you more than you could ever know, Denmark is so strict on taxes. Anything over 12 dollars, you have to pay 30 dollars "import fee", and after that, you add 25 percent in taxes for the total price.
-
Been seeing a lot of these for sale on /r/mm
-
Unlimited GB, that's nice :)

Would it be possible to purchase just the pcb?

I'm not sure if I like the "Tools & Toys" thing on the back, but I'm interested nonetheless!

Curious if hot-swap is a possibility.

Totally optional per the standard kit description.
Decorative plate * 1 (You can choose its engraved 'Tools & Toys' or its blank.)

Answered on previous page, which is a no.

Hello,
So far from streamers who have built the Noah seems to have a hard time getting the board to sound right. It seems that 4 x screws is not enough to prevent the bottom piece of the case to rattle if you knock on it like a door. Will Matrix review and add 2 more screws in the middle on the top and bottom of the bottom case instead of just 4 screws on each corner?
-
following.
-

No hot swap available for the PCB. You could get Mill Max 7305 sockets to make it so
-
What date will group buy start, and how long will it be open?

Hi,
Sry, everything has been locked about this keyboard. If you use the internal rubber mat, it will be a great help to the sound
-
I want it so bad!
It would have been awesome if we had an easier way (like a website) to choose the color combinations, but I guess I'll wait for the next renders ;D

in the case of Portugal you have to show proof of payment to validade the customs tax that will be applied.
so it won't be solved by the declared value being 20 usd unless there is a separate invoice with those 20 usd :)

lol How much you need to pay if there is no proof of the payment?
-
I don't think they'll ship it to me then. There are a few youtubers that get stuff sent to them from outside of EU, and when those packages are bigger or more expensive they can't clear it from customs, and the item will then be returned as they didn't have any proof of payment.
they handle it very strictly...

Do you guys plan to have any of the issues resolved that people seemed to have with the original run? Or is this the exact same kit with no changes?

I figured. For those who may want to exactly replicate the two renders:
1. coating white top case + coating blue bottom case + ano silver armor belt + coating yellow strip
2. ano silver (Not coating cool gray) top case + coating black bottom case + coating yellow armor belt + ano red strip
And, GB date announced to be: 27/07-30/07.
-
Hi, how come the bottom case is more limited in colors in comparison to let's say the top case? Is it because of different materials or?

I'm planning to buy 2 kits + some extras. Do i have to pay more for shipping or will it still be these 40$-ish?

Is this a sandwich mount?
Please can anyone educate me on why this be more expensive than the gasket mounting on the Think 6.5 v2?

Is this a sandwich mount?
Please can anyone educate me on why this be more expensive than the gasket mounting on the Think 6.5 v2?
gasket mount doesn't necessarily justify higher price than non-gasket designs, there are other factors,
for me I like this kit having more pieces and details, and more importantly it's just very beautiful to my eye,
Think 6.5 v2 is a nice board too, but not everyone is badge fan, I would buy it for sure if there's no badge at all.
-
Thanks, and definitely agree with you, for me personally is to sacrifice another key for badge is just not working for me.
-
This is top mount mount btw
-
There should be an option for a pre-select kit for us to choose from where the parts and colours are selected for us. Full customization is good but it is giving me a headache.
Anyway, looking forward to this. Great job on the design. 👍
