What's changed since IC begin?
1. Removed badge on the HHKB case due to popular demand
2. Substitute Black finish with Beige (all you beige gang is just too strong)
3. Altered Beige color after receiving prototype, the production unit will be a close match to PANTONE 11-0105 TCX rather than the yellow hue with a greenish tint (Comparison album link click here (https://imgur.com/a/dyWIJNC))
4. RETAINED all plate mounting points (Poron pads from the gasket conversion kit will need to stick onto the protruding plate points)
Without the spacebar and sides' mounting points, the plate's bottom and sides sections do not have enough support during typing which resulting in a very soft or sinking feeling near the spacebar, enter, backspace, L&R shift.

Here is a video demo using all 8 points on an aluminum plate

Here is a sound test video with the gasket conversion kit - Box cream with PBT GOK BoW, no plate or case foam installed

Batch 2 shipped, there were 2 orders stuck in the warehouse with post code and address mismatch issues. This should be resolved in the next 2 days
More
6th July Update
Have been advised batch 2 will be shipping out next week, this batch will include the remaining unfulfilled orders (a few P-Beige in HHKB layout), replacement parts for transit damaged units, plates and redesigned daughterboards to be compatible with Drop's run (I'll be in touch with people who filled in the form during GB once they are in hand)

5th May Update
The first batch of replacement plates was shipped today.  The shipping time frame was significantly delayed due to multiple COVID related lockdowns ongoing in CN. (Replacements finished production in early March)

11th Feb Update
Confirmed all PC and Aluminium plates have been affected by switch misalignment, all of those plates will be remanufactured and sent to GB buyer free of charge. This issue did not arise during prototype testing

13 Janeuary Update
All production is complete, packing is finished. All GB orders buyers can expect an email update with tracking information.

25 September
Good news and bad news update
Bad News
As of this Thursday, the regional government where M0110 has been produced implemented further restrictions on industrial power usage to combat peak electricity shortages in the area. I've been told its is 2 days on, 5 days off

Good News
1. To combat the above restriction and avoid delays we will switch production to night mode (sleep by day, work overnight), fulfilment in Q4 this year remains unchanged 
2. CNC portions for case, weight and plates are nearly complete, will head into surface treatment soon in the coming weeks
2. PCBs are all finished despite MCU shortages
3. Hello m0110 will have new packaging, will post some pics when the prototype arrives

My own todo list for now:
1. Producing a new separate daughterboard that will be compatible with Drop's run, ONLY for those who filled in the Drop After-Sale form(completed)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10 September - 60% Machining are complete, surface finishing will follow at the end of the machining (beginning of October), PCB due to be finished at the end of next week
11 July - order finalised, submitted to manufacture

Do you have any photos of what the PC verison of the board will look like with gasket kit installed? 
Title: Re: [GB] "Hello" M0110 retro classic - LIVE until 8th July
Post by: well_cooper on Sat, 12 June 2021, 07:10:45
Yes and here it is. For the gasket kit, it will come with 2 thicknesses 0.5mm & 8mm. Thin ones will stick on top of the plate at the mounting point to prevent case ping when the plate rebounds during typing. Thick gasket foam will be on the bottom side of the plate and does most of the support work.

In the prototype shown below, I didn't use any thin ones and can not hear any ping while typing

Yes however you might have to desolder the USB C port if it is interfering with daughterboard

I don’t have a picture on hand so here is a Mont60 made by FanC, it is the same material for the M0110 PC version.

I love the design of this and it ticks all my usability boxes (corner blockers, HHKB split keys and split space bar) but I'm concerned when I look at all the feedback about poor QC and packaging from the previous run. How is it going to be addressed this time if at all?

This question was address’ed at the end of the IC post. You can read up the drama happened during Drop’s run.

The short version is that this run will be manufactured and QCd in house prior to packing and shipping.

That's reassuring to hear. I read over the IC thread and also found this:

So, I joined the Drop GB.  There were a few of problems that I ran into:

the plate didn't actually support split space bar layouts.

It looks like this is still going to be a problem from the images/videos shared so far. Are there any plans to correct this?

Can you provide any shots of the beige units that are not a render? I've recently been interested in color matching that 90's beige box color that so many manufacturers were using and it looks like you're pretty damn close here. I'd be curious to see what it actually comes out like in person.

There are prototype shots of the beige both in the IC thread, and the discord. Links for each are found in the OP. I think the beige color may have been updated since those, not sure, you'll have to read the around the thread a little to figure it out.

Well right, I had read that its been changed a bit so I was interested to see the final product. If its close to what it is being shown as in the updated renders then I'm interested. I didn't care for the beige initially offered. Had kind of a green cast to it that I didn't care for.

No worries at any rate. Just hoping to see more of the board.

I think they did a run in China already. Those group buys usually do go a little faster because the factories are already practiced in producing the case. Though I think with IC shortages this does have a chance at being delayed.

At the moment, do you know what kind of timeframe it will be for the replacement plates? I am glad I didn't rush to build!
Thanks for the group buy btw! I am impressed by how quickly I got it. It will be my first HHKB.

Any update on if there will be extras, and if so, how they'll be sold?

Cheers to a great looking board - wish I found it sooner!

There is a limited amount of extras but some boards where damaged during shipping and will have to be replaced so the final amount of available extras will be known after every GB order is taken care of.
Until then there will probably not be any update regarding sales of extra units.

During shipping to you or to customers? I've had keyboard orders delivered to a proxy until I can get back home to pick them up which still might be several more months away. If there are common issues with damage in transit to customers and I don't notice it until later this year I'm basically SOL right? Fairly niche situation I know, just wondering how to handle this.

I do suggest to let your proxy check it out for you just in case, if you are going through a proxy company then they generally notified customers if packages arrive damaged.

The plate misalignment does affect all orders and replacement will be send free of charge. Let me know if you would like an alternative delivery address

Will there be a notification of plates going out? Did the recent outbreak in china effect this?

Yes, notification will be sent through Shopify. We are working around the outbreak lockdown zone but sometimes when the postal & courier service gets cut off there is very little we can do

I very much appreciat how you handle this group buy.
The turn-around was not bad at all in comparison to other GBs, you were active on discord informing about upcoming delays and the general situation regularly.
Then when issues occured like damaged units during shipping or the problem with the plates that affected every order you jumped in to fix those problems with replacements. Good stuff.

Can't wait to build my replacement unit whenever it arrives.

Thank you very much, I'm sorry for the pushback for allowing everyone to build their board. Hopefully, the replacement plate will reach you soon!

I've planned on revamping how orders will be QC and delivered from the next GB onwards through the lesson learned in this round.
