Would I be able to use the 3000 plate in the Cherry case with ease? I'd love to convert some of my G80 boards.
If you go with 3000 PCB+plate option 2), it will fit in your stock cherry case. But you'd have to do some desoldering and soldering.

Great to see another 1800 all aluminum keyboard being made again. Now all the newbs out there can finally get a chance to own a truly REAL keyboard with it's own layout that very few people dare copy anywhere on this planet.
Thank you yuiop for letting us know and I hope you will carry this through from ordering to complete delivery into our hot little hands. Please let us know what other colours are going to be available for the face plate.

Since 1800 is not the most popular layout, I'm trying to gauge interest to see if there's enough interest to warrant an official group buy here.

There's no moq for the case. But the colors are limited to silver/black/dolch.

I don't have a BLACK version hence put me down for that. Besides Black is always better than any other colour :thumb: .
Another thing with the Green PCB, wouldn't it be covered up with the stainless steel plate for some reason, hence you won't even see the PCB colour at all?
So is this going to be exclusive to those who have connections over at kbd or will we have an official group buy here?
Since 1800 is not the most popular layout, I'm trying to gauge interest to see if there's enough interest to warrant an official group buy here.
The 1800 is God's way of letting geeks know, that this is the SUPERIOR way to enlightenment and wisdom. Moron's using the standard keyboard layout need to be aligned with the truth, that the 1800 is all you need in the world of keyboards.
Please never fall in with narrow minded tossers pushing their own inferior keyboard versions upon you, the 1800 Cherry is the only REAL Keyboard that has ever been produced on this planet.

And you're right about the pcb. Once you assemble everything and put it in a case - whether it's a cherry, dolch, alu case etc - the pcb will be completely covered up. But I understand why some people want their pcbs in certain colors. The chances are no one will ever know/care what's inside your keyboard. But when you open it up for every once it a while, you don't wanna see that fugly green in there :-X
Post by: yuiop on Mon, 08 December 2014, 17:29:48
I think we already have enough to make a push for non-green pcbs.
I personally think red is just as ugly as green.....so I'd say we go with white.
Feel free to voice your opinion though.
Also I'd like to ask your opinions on plate materials. Just to get an idea on demand.
SS, Alu or Polycarb. which one would you choose?

However, I won't be using the plates, so my PCBs will be visible between the switches. Red looks really nice in the Leeku 3000s I've done so far. I'm not so sure about white or green.

Post by: Photekq on Mon, 08 December 2014, 20:48:32
How easy is it to put the assembled PCB/plate into a plastic 1800 case? The usb port is in the middle on Leeku PCB while both 1800 cases I have (G80-1838 and G81-7000) have the wire on the right. Is there a lot of interior space to direct the wire from middle to right?If you're using it with an original case, you only use the USB port for programming. Then you solder a USB or PS2 cable to the four cable pins.

Would it perfectly fit with a G81-1800 case? I heard you have to shave some things off but I'm not sure if you have to with this PCB
It should fit G81 case. I'm not sure about shaving things off. Maybe someone else could answer it.....

for the same reason people prefer TKL over full size board?
1800 is smaller and doesn't take up as much desk space and still has 99% of the keys.
It doesn't look like there's enough demand for 3000 pcbs to produce another batch in different color.

- All LEDs on - All LEDS on at max brightness (Dictated by resistors used)
- Pulsing LEDs - The LEDs fade in/out
- LEDs on when typing - LEDs light up when you press a key
- LEDs off when typing - LEDs stay on when not typing, so as soon as you press a key, they turn off
- LEDs off - No LEDs on, ever.

TX1800; PCB & Plate is not compatible with Cherry case/PCB. I thought that is PCB in optional

Does this Leeku support Alps mount switches? If so is there a plate to go with them? Or at least a drawing of one?
sorry. i have no alps plate.

So I'm still wondering, does the actual GB have a start date, or is it still in the IC stage?i will make 3rd proto Gray Housing.
GB will be started in January.

Damn those cases look awesome but I still despise the NCS lettering for the LEDs. I would love to have it without thatSorry... :(
I will ask the factory to make without Lettering...
But it's highly unlikely.

I don't think it'll stop me from buying if I can gather the gonna but it is just a personal preference.

1. Will there be ridges opened on the plate around the switch mounting square holes so we can remove the top covers if we need to clean up, asking this cause today I ended up cleaning my TrikX that had around 20 keys that had chatter because of dust.....
2. The back of the keyboard looks exactly like my TrikX, is this the same guy that made the TrikX case that will be making this one?
3. Color options on the steel plate? or just silver?
I'm in on this one and if there is any type of vote for PCB colors, this is the colors I would go most: Black PCB or White PCB, not too crazy about the red PCB, but the green one simple screams like the old PCB's back in the old days, yellow also is horrible.

I like it, damn I was waiting for the Light saver but I think this one might look better and hopefully does not have the software problems that the Light saver has as I read here on the forums. I'm in for 1 complete order: case,PBC,plate. Got few questions:1) can open switch without desoldering

2) same designer... you're right.
3) plate has 3 options (SUS. silver ALU. clear sanded PC)
* pcb color options... not yet.

cool I like the fact that is the same designer of the keyboard, I'm impressed with the TrikX design and heftiness.

my opinion the steel is better because is more durable, specially when fitting new keycaps and they need to be pressed harder in order for them to fit to the bottom of the stem, aluminum might be flaky for this sort of thing. they both wont rust and steel is stronger, I would think steel is better choice, also isn't steel cheaper than the aluminum too?But about feel type? I think aluminum is better than steel ;)

I love this layout.
Post by: kin25 on Tue, 06 January 2015, 08:39:22
AL plate is for white or brown switch(clear)
SUS plate is for black or red switch(linear)
PC plate is for blue switch(click)
But... It's personal taste.. :D
Post by: Elrick on Wed, 07 January 2015, 03:29:26
Just wondering, do you guys prefer silver alu, or stainless steel for the plate? Would one be better than the other, and in what way?
STAINLESS STEEL is always better than Aluminum, but if you want colour, the Aluminum plate delivers (if there are colours to choose).

(http://i.imgur.com/AgXrkCEh.jpg) (http://imgur.com/AgXrkCE)BTW, why do you guys like 1800 over 3000?for the same reason people prefer TKL over full size board?
1800 is smaller and doesn't take up as much desk space and still has 99% of the keys.
It doesn't look like there's enough demand for 3000 pcbs to produce another batch in different color.
Because it basically puts a full-size layout in a TKL-width package. ;)

Woah, we have the choice of black cases? That makes me a lot more interested in the Leeku case, instead of retrofitting a Cherry case with the plate.

Is 1.25x-1.25x-1.25x-6.25x-1.5x-1.5x a valid bottom row layout?

Absolutely in for this, 1800 + Grey case. My pref is for the stainless steel plate.
