Never owned an alu board. Would totally buy this one if it weren't for those 5 LED lights above the arrow cluster and the 3 besides the Esc button. A shame, really. Don't know why LED's and backlighting is so popular suddenly. IMO, classy is still the right way with keyboards.

you can always get a sticker and cover up the arrow LEDs. the ESC LEDs on the other hand i don't mind as much

Let's see how GH is going to make me poor. Let me count the ways:

1. TX 1800

2. Lightsaver V2 (round 3)

3. Orion V2

4. TX87

5. LZ-SQ

6. *Insert GMK Buy here*

Post by: whentheclouds on Tue, 24 February 2015, 14:45:02
it was said that those LEDs indicate which layout you're using. i don't get why he wouldn't use a single LED and cycle through different colors in that case. the ESC LEDs are more understandable, i think they're a cool take on the standard num-caps-scroll locks, even if they shouldn't be on a TKL in the first place

Out of all those boards the orion will probably cost the most. Not sure if that helps you prioritize though lol.

Talk about instantly knowing you're gonna drop another several hundred bucks on a new keyboard. :)

This Orion V2 is beautiful though.  V1 only slightly pre-dates my time here at Geekhack and I always was sad I missed out.  I hope Elton is ready for this since he seems to do all their GBs. :D

I absolutely love the blockers as part of the case though. So classic.  It seems duck will now have a board to directly compete with some of the OTD boards.

On the bright side, there are rumors floating around that at least one version of the Orion V2 will be significantly cheaper than the V1 was.

(probably the one with the flat bottom)

Me too. I've recently acquired an OG Desko set (not the one in the Classifieds), and only looking for a board to put it on. Originally was going to try to put it on an 86 key, and try to get some 1u keys to fill in the middle key, but I think the set would look amazing on an 84 key board.

Yes! I could probably tolerate the acryllic layer between the two case parts but those indicator LEDs on the top housing look terribly out of place. :'( Other than that it comes with everything I want. 84 keys and dark grey / black color. Guess I'll wait for the next one.

"ORION v2.
winkey & winkeyless top housing.
Alu, Acrylic bottom housing.
it will include acrylic insert. if you choose alu bottom.
Group Buy will open from him(elton5354)"

Just saw this on Duck's site: http://duck0113.tistory.com/116
Those inserts are included this time, and seems the GB will be handled by da man Elton, hope it comes soon. so excited.

I don't know a ton about aluminum, but the V2 aluminum looks so smooth compared to the V1, which appears to have a rougher surface.  Or maybe that's just because one is anodized and the other isn't.

On a side note, this is the formula for # of case LEDs:  ( [Keyboard Version Number] * 8 ) + 4

I might be interested in the bottom of one of these to update the V1. Provided it is compatible of course.
Other than that it could be a unique and beautiful board with the right color LED.

From the hate in this thread I was expecting to click through to giant blaring lights, not tiny little pinpricks that look smaller than the lock indicators on my Code. Wait, what?

Looks sexy, but sadly I consider TKL the worst of all possible worlds for standard keyboard sizes, at least in my usage, so it's an auto-pass.

I'm considering dark grey anodising with white indicator LEDs all round. Probably wouldn't do LEDs on the sides.

Really think I'm going to try and buy one of these, just might need to sell a few things :P

Yes, but you can turn those off, I presume, and no one was complaining about that, just the holes on the casing. XD Which, I was expecting a lot worse given the common trends in bling.

@Nai_calus: What do you consider the best layout?

I'm apparently the only person in the world who feels that a full-size is the best and only reasonable daily use keyboard. I make frequent use of alt codes and number entry, use the nav cluster a lot, and while I don't use them constantly, I do use a couple of F keys frequently. 60% boards have their place as something portable, but TKLs slap a bunch of extra space on with keys I use less than the numpad, without the convenience of having a numpad. I've got wide shoulders so I don't feel uncomfortable using a mouse next to a fullsize. So really, worst of all possible worlds for me. Lacking keys I need, and not saving enough space for if I need to take it somewhere or use it as a gaming board.

I have a 60% with Gateron Clears I pull out when I play games with a lot of keyboard commands because it's less taxing than my MX Clears. It fits nicely on my desk with my Code pushed back. I have a few NumPad shortcuts that I don't have bound to my mouse as well in-game, so with that setup I can still use them. A TKL would be too big to do that with because of the F row.

Granted, I find all standard layouts to be pretty bad, and wish someone would make an ergonomic or at least ortholinear keyboard with a numberpad besides Maltron.

This group buy will be up soon™

As you can see, there will probably be three options for this set.  Most likely the cheapest one will be the flat acrylic bottom, then the acrylic block bottom, and then the full metal case.

I'll see if the sets can be broken up to buy separate bottoms as some of you mentioned.

No doubt this group buy will go as smooth as all my other group buys and I hope you all will enjoy it as much as I do during the process.

BTW, I wonder if the V2 PCB would fit in the V1? I got my broken V1's PCB fixed by thechemist, but that would be great if I got a backup just in case.  :p

I think the picture is the render of the aluminum bottom, which is a option in GB besides flat acrylic and full acrylic bottoms.

Seems V2 does support the alps switches, and those LEDs above the arrow keys look not as bad as I thought.

Ah okay, I assumed this bottom would also be available in aluminum since he uploaded a picture of the render, once in solid color and once in translucent white. Too bad :(

I'm with you on that, I've tried multiple times typing with my keyboard raised and I really can't last five minutes without my wrists hurting.

With that being said, I will probably order the clear flat bottom and replace the feet with small clear bumpers [link (http://www.homedepot.com/p/OOK-1-2-in-Clear-Plastic-Self-Adhesive-Bumpers-8-Pack-50660/100019610)].

So many LEDs these days.  Starting to look tacky, IMHO.

I install them on principle and keep them off for the same reason.

It's quite usable while standing. I kept the feet up on my model F on my standing desk also :o

Of course. Even raw aluminum develops an oxide coating in air.

Stainless Steel, most likely.

I will probably install some blacks if I end up getting an Orion v2. Should I go with a stainless steel plate then? I never had an acryllic plate and they look cool.

Damn they the full ALU or the acrylic bottom are so nice. It is hard to choose. I'm going to regret this one as I don't have money for it ATM. Is it a one time sale or can you order it afterwards if you go through the website you linked?

For those with Duck boards now, is the 11 degree angle comfortable to use? I know it's a preference like all things, I just worry it might be a bit of a shock to me since I'm used to using a much lower angle.

Would the price vary depending on the bottom you take or would they all be the same price?

Price will vary. Full alu will be the most expensive. Flat acrylic will be the cheapest.
I wonder how it would look wiyh the flat acrylic and the bottom led.

I was not talking about this sale thread but more like in general as I assume we would not be the only one buying it. Especially since it is done towards the Korean community as it seems.

it's the same process anywere: the creator takes orders for a limited amount of time, then produces as many kits as required. if he makes some extra kits/has leftovers and sell them on his website, you can bet they'll be snapped up within a short period of time.

that's how custom boards retain their exclusivity. not having money is one thing, but delaying a purchase in hopes of it being available after the GB period is generally a bad idea if you really want the product

I have used butterfly keypad from Duck, and it's 11 degree.  I personally prefer 12 degree, but 11 degree is actually pretty good to type on as well.  But it would also depend on what keycaps profile you used on it.

I agree, but there are definitely so many pro tricks that make it much easier even if you only have a soldering iron. 

I had no idea how I was going to solder the tiny diodes on my GON board with only an iron and no flux but it wasn't that hard after I watched a few videos and learned some tricks from youtube.

Without youtube though, it would be super frustrating and might feel like you need a third arm to do the task - one to hold component in place, one to hold iron, and another to feed in solder.

I believe an option is to go with the clear acrylic bottom and instead of using the supplied feet, you can just purchase small bumpers(feet) to avoid the raise.

Orion because amazing design, TX because of affordability and sleekness, and mira because of US custom and cool design. Not to mention then the price of switches, springs, stickers, lubes, and clear switch tops if those are your things.

This is probably here nor there, but having both plates with and without top removal, I can say that a plate without the openings delivers a better typing feel.

Hmmm... I see  :) Thanks for the info.
What are you opinions on the plastic plate vs the aluminum plate? I'm thinking about installing gateron blacks on this keyboard when I do get it, do you think I should go with the plastic plate or the aluminum plate? I imagine that since the bottoming out is more prominent when using a linear switch, a plastic plate would greatly help reduce the bottoming out force, but then the stainless steel and the aluminum plate have a stronger base thus able to carry out the resonance and you can dampen that by doing the drawer liner mod.... I think...?
This is all speculations, if someone more knowledgeable can answer my questions and concerns, that would be greatly appreciated.  :D
Title: Re: Orion V2
Post by: Lastpilot on Sat, 04 April 2015, 20:54:15
Correct, the plastic plate would definitely dampen the sound and have lower resonance as I've seen with my crystal gon. I'm not too well-versed in liner mods though, so I will let someone else speak to that.
Title: Re: Orion V2
Post by: Fnzzy on Sat, 04 April 2015, 21:05:25
I am going for the softest options with the orion (at least I think it makes for the softest typing feel). 60g gateron blacks, plastic plate and flat acryllic bottom. Hope it turns out well. If the price is right maybe I'm gonna get a SS or alu plate just in case.

As for the shelf liner... I have foam in my Viper which was used to secure it during shipping. I am going to remove it tomorrow and come back to you. I only have blacks in the modifiers though, so it may not be the most accurate result.

Price is going to be about $200 - $400 based on the case bottom chosen.

Do you know if there will be an option to have it assembled by GON or someone else?

You can send it to GON. Shipping within SK is about $6-7 then you can discuss with GON to ship it to you.

However ALPS users still have to cough up some more money for the plate and PCB right?
You mentioned earlier that the MX stuff is mandatory to purchase.

That is correct.

Buy 2 sets; one for MX and one for ALPs, and you'll have an extra MX PCB just in case. ;)

Title: Re: Orion V2
Post by: Fnzzy on Fri, 10 April 2015, 19:33:36
I have most of it planned out.

Black 84 top
plastic plate
Flat acryllic bottom
black feet from GON
6xg Gateron Blacks (not sure if 60, 62 or 65)
SIP sockets (still need to get those from somewhere)
Sky blue or pink LED on WASD and F row (if I decide to even use LEDs)
Original Cherry WoB (got something nice in the mail ;D )

It will be pretty much a very classy looking black keyboard without many LEDs.

Mine would be so close to this

Only real difference would be that I'd be using the GMK Triumph adler set xD
Title: Re: Orion V2
Post by: effectiveduck on Sat, 11 April 2015, 03:08:56
So ready!

Black or dark grey top and bottom

Purple side LED's for Acrylic 'puzzle' piece

White caps and scr lck LED's

62g stickered lubed blues (considering clears but I haven't used them yet)

hyperfuse gmk
Title: Re: Orion V2
Post by: Khers on Sat, 11 April 2015, 03:19:46
Still undecided, in the end it all comes down to money  :eek:

If I was to pull the trigger I would build it like this: silver top with black bottom, plastic plate, vintage blacks (don't have those yet though), purple caps and scroll lock leds and gmk hyperfuse.

Thinking it would look ace, but tbh I'm more of a 60% than a tkl-guy. Ideally I'd want a viper, anyone got any idea if those are going to be rerun in the near future?
Title: Re: Orion V2
Post by: ramnes on Sat, 11 April 2015, 04:57:54
Prices seem to be:

- Top case: 165000KRW
- Plate: 33000KRW whatever the plate
- PCB: 46200KRW
- Bottom case: 24200 for the acrylic flat, 79200 for the acrylic CNCd, and 149000 for the alu.

Roughly, that's 230, 280 and 340€ for a full board.
