Introduction:
Got hook into this hobby from the sight of DanGWanG's beautiful KMAC. Back then, KMAC came in like a wrecking ball, wrecking many, many wallets, and that kick start the Korean custom keyboard hype from that day onwards. Having tasted the many Korean custom boards, the ideas start pouring in, and in that mix, the best quality ingredients (or features, in this case) are picked up and thrown into the design. With the help of a group of enthusiasts with similar interest, the design is polished from time to time, prototypes after prototypes, until the satisfactory result is achieved. The TGR is ready.

Can someone explain the difference between full plate and half plateHalf plate doesn't have a section for the alphas. Basically you are supposed to use PCB mount switches there.

Full plate is just as it sounds. Half plate covers only the mods, not the alphas (see photo below from Reaper).
(http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y146/eddie84/OCN/Mech%20keyboard%20club/The%20Cheat/DSC08002.jpg)
Many claim that certain switch types feel superior without a plate, but the modifiers might feel better with the plate, hence the half plate. It's something that many might consider unnecessary, and is more prominent in the Korean community.

Can someone explain the difference between full plate and half plateFull plate is like most modern boards, fully plate mounted across the board. Half plate is where the modifiers are plate mounted, but with a large cutout in the plate for the alpha keys which are pcb mounted. I've only seen this done with a Korean custom board, the Cheat IIRC. It's done for the reasons Hoff said plus with the alphas being pcb mounted you can easily switch out spring/stems which can be nice.

Does anyone have personal experience with half plates? Like 'em? Dislike 'em?I've never typed on half plate, even my cheat is full plate. Just imagine typing on PCB mount keyboard for the main 33 keys and the number row.

It is great to see our first Malaysian aluminium custom keyboard to go On-Air, and sharing the joy for our international friends as well. ;D
I have discussed assembling services with Yuktsi regarding this group buy in the planning process.
To those who are interested to have your TGR assembled and working properly once you get it on hand, just shoot me a PM anytime, you are more than welcome to ask.
I am partnering with Yuktsi solely for keyboard assembly, including diodes & resistors soldering works (If you would like to have) on PCB.
Cheers, have a good night/day to our buddies over the world. :D

I might be interested in ordering one of these, but I'd like to know if it's possible to have it pre-assembled with switches and stuff and how much that would cost.The process is quite simple bro.
I'm in Malaysia, by the way.
The keyboard cost alone + assembling cost = Final cost
Assembling wise, we have to wait until the production is finished then we should talk about it.

Will it support a standard bottom row (1.25u modifiers and 6.25u spacebar)? There's no renders of it, hence I'm asking.
I believe it does because you have an option for a 84 key layout or an 87 key layout (this is the one which uses 1.25u modifiers and 6.25u spacebar) in the order form.

Ordered. :thumb:Yeah. Plate color is going to be red. :rolleyes:

I might be interested in ordering one of these, but I'd like to know if it's possible to have it pre-assembled with switches and stuff and how much that would cost.Possible. Mr. Yongjk has volunteered to help with the assembly. With a small fees of course.
I'm in Malaysia, by the way.
These look amazing.for $420, you are getting only the case + plate + pcb presoldered with controllers. However, you may request Yongjk to assist you with the assembly.
Stupid question: is the board fully soldered and assembled?
Ordered, going with aluminum plate, debating on steel as I've heard it is good for linear switches. Can we have additional plates? :))Sure why not. Will come to that once the invoices are issued.
I really dig the clean look, but the logo seems a bit too embedded for my liking.I am not sure bro. But the depth for the TGR logo ~ 0.5mm
Compared to the following pic, will it be "deeper"?Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/kKVJD.jpg)
looks wonderful, why are you limiting this to only 20 boards?Well, I see this as a casual groupbuy. Yes, making more will further reduce the cost and I can make more profit out of it.
sadly, this is too rich for my blood. and not topre. but good luck!
But for now, 20 is quantity that I am comfortable with.
Can u post a excel to show orders?Big god, I will. Don't worry.

Again, this groupbuy means a lot me. I am still thinking of a way to thank those who managed to secure a slot.

Since this is going to be your first definitely pick up at least an extra pcb. You don't want something catastrophic to happen and leave you pcb-less.

Just found out about ZealPC's custom MX Ergo Clears. I think I may want those. This board will be able to support those switches and LEDs, right? (Assuming I landed a Jane.)
They would if you're only planning to use the regular LEDs. I believe one of the selling features of the new switches is the support for 4 pin RGB LEDs which you won't be able to use.

Ah, nuts.Okay. Looks like I'll just stick with someone making the Ergo Clears while they're making the board for me. Will probably still get the ZealPCs switches, but will use them on another board.
Because I'm still somewhat new, what are some recommended boards/customs Zeal's switches can use?
Don't mean to derail this thread.

Not many at the moment actually, but according to Zeal's post he should be working on getting a PCB to work with those switches soon for full 4 pin RGB support.

Got it, thanks. Back to Jane.Just found out about ZealPC's custom MX Ergo Clears. I think I may want those. This board will be able to support those switches and LEDs, right? (Assuming I landed a Jane.)
They would if you're only planning to use the regular LEDs. I believe one of the selling features of the new switches is the support for 4 pin RGB LEDs which you won't be able to use.
Ah, nuts.Okay. Looks like I'll just stick with someone making the Ergo Clears while they're making the board for me. Will probably still get the ZealPCs switches, but will use them on another board.
Because I'm still somewhat new, what are some recommended boards/customs Zeal's switches can use?

So now that I'm officially part of the club, I'm thinking about what I'd want in the board. As for LEDs, what's possible with the PCB? I was thinking of putting all white LEDs, but I want to know if it's possible to customize how I'd want the LEDs to function. For example, not lighting at all, setting the brightness, or turning on only the LEDs of keys like Caps Lock, Num Lock, etc. when they're activated.I will post what led effect that you can do with a87.
Sorry for the newb questions.

Given the prior situation, I hope their standards when it comes to packaging will increase given the amount of money on the line here. There were many great suggestions on how to ship expensive boards in Joey's 456 thread that more than likely got overlooked.

I forget which picture I just recently saw of a great way to package a keyboard, but it was soft cell foam, stacked up, and then a hole cut in about 3/4 of the sheets that were stacked up and glued together, that way it created a case of it. Or those form-fitting foam packs that form when activated. It is pretty easy to package something if you are willing to pay 15$ for shipping materials. It costs a little bit more, but i would rather pay 15$ for a board to come in perfect condition, instead of having to ask for a partial refund when it comes because of damage.I just thought about this: what about possible damage during shipping?

What I will do is, I will post photos of how the board will be packed and the buyers will comment. We will come to an agreement on how the board will be packed and shipped. I will not be responsible for any damage during shipping. No more compensating the buyer for the damage caused by the custom office or the courier.
Anyway, I have costed $15 in for packaging. So yeah, all good.

Yep, this is a great way to make custom briefcase-style fitted carrying cases as well. I believe I saw this kind of shipping in the post about JoeyQuinn's 456 having been lost in the mail. It should be very secure!

It has been a long week, at least for me. Here are some updates.
Payment status
[attachimg=1]
If you have problem in making the full payment before the deadline, please pm me. Production will start as soon as everyone is paid.
Depending on the currency exchange, I may include the acrylic diffuser.
So for those haven't paid, please do it ASAP. Hehe Thank you.

holy smokes, acrylic diffuser looks great. is there a guide on how LEDs work on keyboards (diodes, resistors); i have little to no experience with electrical workThe RGB LEDs are controlled by the controller part I suppose, which are usually ordered as soldered by default. At least that's the case for B87 pcbs. The diodes are for switches and resistors are for switch LEDs.

Ok, I see. So it's better to have resistors and diodes presoldered on the PCB with the controller. That way the LEDs and switches can just be soldered on.
That TX87 and diffuser are amazing! You mentioned it was based on the currency exchange but I'd be willing to put more down for the difference needed.

For how the diffuser will be integrated, probably yes, for the case styling, not so much. But both look very good in their own way.

Are there going to be any components presoldered?
I'd also like to know. Also, I've read the 456GT thread, and it isn't really reassuring a $1000 board got lost during transit. The packaging could also use a bit of improvement (new box, more compact, wrap everything separately). But, like you said you've factored in $15 per board, that shouldn't be a problem.

i think the first post mentions that the controllers will be pre-soldered and then there's a table with the price of components and assembly by YongJK.
hmm, the part highlighted in bold red gives me the impression that buyers get to see how their boards are going to be packed and can be discussed with yuktsi before they are shipped out. and he did mentioned $15 cost in packaging, i'm quite sure that means new packaging materials such as box foams and wrapping.
with just 19 boards to ship out (1 is his own order), i believe it's manageable for him to discuss with buyers and then packed them accordingly and then HOPEFULLY (yuktsi, read this!), with his new experience under his belt, we might see round 2 of TGR! ;D ;D :thumb:

Post by: yuktsi on Fri, 14 August 2015, 22:48:34
This is what I have in mind
1) I will pre-assemble the board, meaning that I will screw everything together.
2) Wrap it with plastic wrap
3) Wrap with PE foam, 50mm thick in top bottom, front back direction
4) Put it into a box, fill the left right direction with 50mm of PE foam.
5) The box is small enough to prevent any movement in the box
6) Seal the box with adhesive tape. Attach the shipping address to the box.
7) Wrap the box with the brown wrapping paper (post office requirement), attach the shipping address on the wrapping paper.
8) Bring it to the post office and send.
Please advise. Huhu

That's the best way I've seen korean boards make it safe to the US. PCB and plate are in separate plastic sleeves, which are layered loose in the case, then wrapped in foam sheeting and taped shut.

Realistically speaking, if the package is going to take a hard enough impact to dent the case then I don't think it really matters whether it's individually wrapped or pre-assembled. I think the key point should be the cushioning around all the items as a whole.the keyboard will be cushioned by at lest 50mm of PE foam in all direction.

I agree with demik on this. I've felt very good about all the Duck boards I've received, which were all in separate pieces and packed individually. There will be inevitable shifting and the screws will likely come loose, causing scratches, if packaged assembled. It may not happen most of the time, but if it happens once it would be very unfortunate.

Anyone using assembly services from Yongjk interested in the Zealio purple clear switches offered in GB? Shipping these switches tracked/insured to Malaysia costs ridiculously at $30-45, so if a few geekhackers are interested we could split the shipping.
I just messaged him about it!

After I saw pics, I suddenly have a question: How to mount plate in housing?
Its probably top plate mounting like the KMAC2.

I guess screws 'll pass bottom part, plate & top part. But KMAC2 used 20 screws, 10 screws to mount top & bottom part. And 10 remain screws to mount plate in bottom part. I really curious about way to mount plate now :p

Hi guys, unfortunately I'm going to have to let go of my order. This is not a decision I made easily, but it's for the best. PM me only if seriousSad to see a brother go, but I'm sure your decision is well grounded. Good luck with a buyer!
Regarding layout, I'm still deciding what to do. I was thinking of doing Purple Zealios 65g for the alphanumericals and main modifiers and arrow cluster, while having MX Tactile Gray as the Esc, space bar, Function row, and Ins-Page Down. Is that too insane? I'm used to heavier switches, so I'm not sure if that's a bit overkill.

When shopping around for switches, am I looking for PCB-mount or plate-mount? I've ordered my Jane with a plate, but not sure that makes a huge difference...
Post by: justnits on Thu, 17 September 2015, 20:19:30
So I'm an idiot and a total newb.
When shopping around for switches, am I looking for PCB-mount or plate-mount? I've ordered my Jane with a plate, but not sure that makes a huge difference...
the pcb is using tx87's pcb, which i believe is pcb-mount switch compatible as well. so it doesn't matter if you bought pcb mount or plate mount switches.
some ppl like the idea that using pcb-mount switches with plate gives optimum stability due to the extra 2 legs mounted to the pcb.
i'm not too sure if it's been scientifically proven or not, but i myself don't find any differences between pcb-mount and plate-mount when used it with a plate (acrylic or metal-type).
but one thing for sure, it does gives u some form of 1337 feeling when using pcb mounted switch LOL!
oh, another thing to take note, pcb-mount switch can always be converted to plate-mount switch by clipping off the 2 extra legs.

Yeah that's happening to me right now as well. Whenever that happens it'll take a few days for it to go through customs in my experience but the tracking will reflect that the process only took a day or so.

To be perfectly honest, Its a bit of a mystery to me as well. I originally ordered black but messaged yuktsi about a color option not exactly on the original list. yuktsi said Titanium would be close to that color I showed but I got busy with work and it fell off my radar.
I'm really happy with what came though, I was slightly regretting going with black so I'm very pleased with this surprise! To answer your original question, I think it should be the titanium.

you can buy a gon Nerd with the port on top. Would fit. Might need to modify plate a little as the spacebar stab is upside down on the nerd.

Post by: henz on Fri, 23 October 2015, 01:24:36
Pretty sure the regular one would work if the usb is on the top as his tkl pcbs have the usb on the right side, but the kmac one would definitely work.
Are you sure about the kmac version ? the usb port is located on some kind of extension och the pcb. which might interfere on the Jane.
Yeah, they should work. The case work with any standard a87u, or any pcb that is based on the dimension of standard a87u.
But why do you want to use a nerd pcb?
im thinkingin of using my tx87 pcb on my kaliet a87 case(alu polycarb sandwich) would be nice because of the RBG leds. And gon is the smoothest way to get compatible PCBs. So for me fully understandable. One could get another tx87 or get a a87u from sprit.

Thanks for the explanation everyone! :thumb:
My friend has a spare GON PCB that I can use IF I am lucky enough to pick up a TGR-Jane. :-X
I have a GON TKL and I really like the way NerD GUI works and how it is very easy to use and understand. Since I am not familiar with all the key mapping or flashing firmware etc, I thought it would be great if GON's PCB works in this case.

Looks like NerD for KMAC will not work with TGR because the USB port extends a little too much like henz said.
It seems regualr NerD PCB with USB connector positioned on top would work just fine.

I was just trying to clarify what icyskyz was saying. He is talking about a spare nerd pcb he can maybe use but overlooking the fact it's unlikely someone would sell their TGR and decide to keep the pcb.

Sorry about the confusion, I was just saying that I would swap the tx87 pcb that comes with TGR with nerd pcb, and trying to see if nerd pcb would work with TGR.

The plate is pretty scratched though, I'm not sure what I could do about it myself. I don't have the tools to be able to get a brushed finish and I think polished won't look that good.

I don't have the time right now to set it up, and other people have better quality pictures so I'll leave it to them.

Sorry I snagged that I up the second I saw Flyersfan1 post. I've been following the production of TGR-Jane since the start of the IC thread and I was kicking myself for skipping out on it, it's a shame nobody went with the red aluminum case.

Anyone here making their's "shine" meaning full RGB leds? I wana see this baby at its full potential.
Like for the individual caps? I don't think that's possible with this PCB. I think the PCB just has RGB LEDs underneath, but you can't see them as well with the aluminum bottom.
There were some things yuktsi teased that never became a part of this GB: the acrylic sandwiched layer, the special cable, and the extra PCBs and plates. I hope those are included in Round 2 (if that ever happens), as well as an acrylic bottom to show off the RGB. With the acrylic bottom, we won't have to bother with the TX87 keyboard since this uses the TX87 PCB already.

Why is it not possible for in-switch LEDs? I didn't really look into it much but assumed it was possible with the right diodes/resistors.

I don't believe so, I've seen a few some people put in rgb 2x3x4mm LEDs for their windows keys but I've never seen a full board. The RGB LEDs that do work aren't controllable but rotate through the colors automatically(at least for the sample bag I have).

I usually buy my leds, diodes, resistors, and sip sockets off ebay. If you find the right seller within the states it can come pretty fast.
Thanks for the help yuktsi, perhaps someday the Jane owners could get together to have the acrylic diffuser made for a mini group buy.

I've checked with the DXF file and I'm able to get the diffusers for €24.5 a piece, 3mm matte white acrylic (not sure how thick it should be, the price differences are negligible, add/subtract €1 per mm). At 5x, I'm looking at ~8% discount. This is obviously excluding international shipping. The plates would be cut by the same comp I've used for the Alps plate sth has (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=74337.msg1894340#msg1894340).

Looks like a bigger cut-out for the brass plate as well. I'm curious as to what the final chosen material will end up being. 7075 is stronger and more expensive but it's prone to corrosion more than 6061 which still may not be a problem. Isn't mic 6 preferred for cast aluminum since it doesn't cut that smooth?

Yeah, it's easier to grab with the cutout on the sides, or else will have to 'pry' it up from the bottom to grab it.

I'm not a fan of lighter cases, but I realize that certain keycap sets look good with only lighter cases.

If I can make it into round 2 I'm hoping for either red or sky blue. I hope sky blue is an option so bad, every board I've seen with it looks amazing. I'm planning on using my GMK TA set for my blue grey, hoping it will turn out good.

This board is almost very good. The first feeling is very cool. Surface is very smooth. When I see case, I thought CNC & anodizing is very good. But logo on plate is so simple, I like logo on case than...

Sweet! If someone can get these made in small amounts, I'd be down for one!
I've checked with the DXF file and I'm able to get the diffusers for €24.5 a piece, 3mm matte white acrylic (not sure how thick it should be, the price differences are negligible, add/subtract €1 per mm). At 5x, I'm looking at ~8% discount. This is obviously excluding international shipping. The plates would be cut by the same comp I've used for the Alps plate sth has (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=74337.msg1894340#msg1894340).
Any update on the diffuser? :p

It looks like yuktsi has been working on a diffuser for round 2, if the specs are the same perhaps we could just pick one up from the second group buy to make it easy enough and have it before Christmas.

That would be grand.
The only thing that concerns me about the diffuser is the height it would add to the top case, making the caps sink a little bit. If the top layer for r2 is the same with and without the diffuser, then I guess I have no qualms.

I was wondering the same, I was thinking if it's just a 1mm maybe even a 2mm diffuser it shouldn't raise it enough to cause problems or discomfort typing on the board.

That is a non-issue because the pcb and plate are bolted to the top case. When you add the acrylic layer it will raise the top case along with the pcb.

Oh ok, thanks for clarifying. Then making a diffuser shouldn't be difficult at all, I just need to know who to throw my money at. :p

At the same time, I'm kinda sad that v2 with improvements is already available at GroupBuy. It's like spending a lot of money to buy the latest 2015 Mercedes Benz, then they announce a new revamped 2016 model is available before you even get to drive it.
Still looking forward to my first custom keyboard!

maybe, i have a set but i really like writing on the dyesub pbts, kinda liked the JTK keycaps more than GMK atm. So im thinking of selling my gmk sets and getting some more dyesubs, too bad there are not too many colorways to choose from.

Finally got my Jane all assembled, is there a locking caps lock option in the firmware? I can't seem to find it anywerhere or how to control the LEDs brightness.
If there's an MX Lock option for Caps Lock I'm all ears. I'd even send my board to someone to get modded for that.
Post by: Steezus on Thu, 03 December 2015, 19:42:28
Hi Steezus,
Sorry for responding without good news.
The FW does not consider the locking switches and in-switches LED brightness as well.
I'll keep in the list of this and consider for future updates.
Thanks.
Hopefully he will add it at some point, for now I'm stuck with a mx lock on my Jane that doesn't work properly. :p

Looking good, nice pics.

Update: After talking to yuktsi and trying a few things out, flashing to the latest firmware seemed to fix the issue. I haven't touch the setting in weeks so how it went from perfectly fine to not working is beyond me.
Post by: romevi on Wed, 06 January 2016, 09:34:22
Welp, I woke up this morning and turned my computer on to find that none of my LEDs are working on my Jane except for Caps and Scroll Lock. Has anybody else experienced this issue? I tried multiple times to reflash the firmware with no luck.

That's so weird that it'll just stop working like that. Even with a firmware update, it shouldn't just stop all together. Maybe the update addressed whatever issue there was?
Still: weird.

Yeah it was very strange, literally after flashing the updated firmware all the LEDs immediately turned on. I spent an hour or so before hand messing with JigOn trying to get them to work with no luck, I was afraid something was wrong with the controller on the PCB.

I don't have any ping at all but I believe romevi was experiencing some with his spacebar.
My space bar is driving me nuts, and sometimes the left Shift does too. Not sure what's going on, but I know the stabilizers aren't as smooth as my other MX board.
I've gotten used to the ping on those two keys, but I'd like to dampen them somehow.

So my keyboard was functioning fine but when I plugged it in again earlier suddenly the SMDs on the black would flash and travel in a circle while the 2 in the front flashes red continuously.Try re flashing the firmware and see if that helps

See plug in your keyboard and run 'loadfw'
Please find attached for the firmware

Yeah I did exactly as Yuktsi suggested and it now works like magic :D
This will be my 1 and only baby from now on haha
Did not think I would like it this much, boutta sell my 356, this baby taking over!! ;D
Edit #2: sorry for the confusion guys, I am selling my 356cl but it's going to a real life friend. I apologize for the tease :(
Edit: Romevi, I think I know why your space bar has the pinging problem. This happen when your stabilizer bar is bent incorrectly. I have 9 different stabilizers and I have tested each one of them thoroughly before installing it because just like you, I HATE the sound.
Anyways, the issue arise when the ends where the stabilizer is bent 90 degree do not perfectly line on a 3D plane. Not sure if that was a good way to put it but if you lay down the stabilizer on a flat surface and observe closely, often time, 1 of the ends will be either rising up from the flat surface or poking downward a tiny bit. You can test this by tipping at 1 of the bent corner, if it moves a bit, that means it's bent incorrectly.
This then translate into the problem where 1 side of the stabilizer will be offset. So imagine when you press the space bar, and release quickly, 1 side of the stabilizer will hit the top first, then the 2nd side will hit. This result in a strong vibration being sent to the 1st end, thus the bar shakes a little bit and the sound resonate with the aluminum case, amplifying the "ping".
I have figured this out from 9 stabilizers and repeatedly bending the faulty one until it's near perfect.
Not sure if I'm just lucky, or maybe this could be a coincidence... I can't say for sure but I am 99% confident in my finding.

WOW! Thanks for that! That was really helpful. Will give it a shot this weekend. I've gotten kinda used to the ping but I'd like to get rid of it if possible.
Edit: How easy is it to remove the stabilizer from the Jane?
Post by: HTN47 on Thu, 28 January 2016, 00:41:11
That's why I was about to suggest that you test the stabilizers before I install any of them
Maybe someone else have a secret method of removing them? As far as I know this is the only way unfortunately

Hey guys, so my keyboard got effed up again when I rebooted the computer... The lights are flashing again and this time when I tried to flash the firmware, it gets stuck at the part which prompted me to "press any keys to continue"... None of my keys are registering. Any ideas on how I can maybe reset the controller? Or maybe someone know how I can purchase another TX87 PCB?I've asked leeku. The blinking means the pcb is in firmware flashing mode. It happens when the keyboard is plugged by pressing '~' key. Maybe there's a short circuit at your '~' key.

2nd, where is the screenshot about banking transaction? FB chat log in facebook is nothing to me (and paypal as well) in this case because it can be faked and edited, who knows? I can say that my facebook was hacked by someone then chat with nguuenkimtam at that time, is it ok? Let's wait and see who will win this case by Paypal :))
3rd, as I said, when someone pay you via paypal, you nedd to ship to this person and his shipping address in Paypal, not ship to anyone else. In this case, i am one who paid to Yuktsi via paypal, but i did not receive anything, then i made dispute. It is very easy to understand and very basic, why kids like mrboovn and some of you guys here fo not understand this simple thing?
4th, why nguyenkimtam confirmed that he is keeping my stuffs and even Mr. Gaucaca had reminded him to returned back to me (as Mr. Gaucaca accidentially gave my stuffs to nguyenkimtam), he still not return yet. Does anybody here know the reason behind? This sh!t kid nguyenkimtam took my stuffs and sell in the vietnam gaming gear in facebook, then i will do neccessary things to take my money back. So, Yuktsi now need money to pay for something, and nguyenkimtam can pay on behalf of Yuktsi. Easy :))
I just do what i need to do and want to teach this kid lesson to be human. You wanna keep my stuffs, you wanna sell it, it's ok, then I take my money back. Easy :))

1st, who is in Vietnam said that he/she know that i sell the TGR to nguyenkimtam, please come to see me if you can. If you cannot give me the name or any person, then shut up.

Stop thread crapping and take this to PM. I don't understand why you want to teach nguyen a lesson but you are getting yuktsi caught in the crossfire and freezing his paypal account.

I honestly can't tell who's in the wrong, and this is just based off hard evidence. I can't read the chats, and I'm not considering immature posts here when determining who's right. If nguyen doesn't have proof that he paid for the board, then I'm gonna guess PayPal will take tinpham's side. As mentioned, screenshots can be forged, and I'm almost positive the only proof PayPal will want is if the transaction was passed on to someone else with monetary venues.
Again, I'm not taking sides based off who sounds immature here; this is just complete speculation on what hard facts are presented.
Sorry to drag this on. With this GB done and long dormant, not sure what else can be posted here.

Have you tried taking the plate and PCB out of your housing and making sure that all the switches are completely 'locked' onto the plate? Some of the switches might be somewhat lifted off the plate itself, bending the plate, that is what caused my keyboard to make the pinging sounds when I first assembled it.
I have an aluminum plate also.
Edit: if it is your stabilizers that are causing the pinging sound, then you should check out my advice to Romevi. If it's a regular key that's causing it then this is the only thing I can think of.. I hope that helps man

I had ping like that on one of my other boards. What I did was put drawer liner under the PCB, but instead of just a normal amount I added enough to make it flex the PCB ever so slightly upward. This upward pressure eliminated the ping for me.

I have tried messaging you via PM 3 times without any responses before I decided to post on this thread. I have paid all my fees 3 months ago (delay on my part for the shipping fees, but paid in May) and still have not received my keyboard or any updates. This is for the original TGR-Jane.
Could you please let me know if there is anything outstanding to get my order moving?

While this has been bumped, is there a list of PCBs that work with this? I think the Nerd TKL works. Any others?
Dont forget that gons space bar stab is flipped, so if you want to use that some plate modifications might be needed.
All a87 compatible pcbs work. So all the ps2avr etc

Hmm, okay. I was hoping to get a PCB that had better RGB customization and was able to brighten/dim the in-switch LEDs.
What sort of plate modification is needed? Will the modification make the TX87 unusable if, for some odd reason, I decide to switch back in the future?

It wont affect the use of the tx87 pcb, here is a link on what needs to be done, ive done it to two boards

I've spoken with chilldude_22 and he spent quite some time answering my question and everything about his keyboard sounds good to me, except that he said he doesn't have the original brass engraved #15 weight on the keyboard.
Sure, you could say it's not much but to me that means quite a bit if I were to pay a hefty premium for the keyboard.
If I can somehow get the original #15 engraved weight back.. I will most likely pull the trigger.

Only keyboard and the first custom keyboard I jumped on GB for in my life is Rama's M65-A and I am excited.
If I can get my hands on TGR Jane 86/87 w/ full plate in Titanimum Gray my life will be complete, until the amazing Duck Lightsaver v3 comes out shortly ;)
I'm planning to get at least 2 or if there's no limit 3 Duck Lightsaver v3 and make my own trinity hehe

Anyone ever have the RGB go haywire? It's happened to me a few times over the years, but recently it's stuck like that. It'll flicker constantly. I've tried updating the firmware, resetting the RGB settings, and disconnecting it. Nada. Going on day four with no fix. A few times it's fixed itself, but not more than a day after it'll start doing it.
(yuktsi notice me senpai)
Are you using a TGR PCB or an L3 PCB? This is a known issue on L3 pcbs that usually can be fixed with a firmware update. If that doesn't do it, it's more than likely a faulty voltage regulator chip.

L3 PCB. It's happened more than a handful of times so I'm no stranger to it, but this is the longest it's gone without a fix. This is where I've always gotten the latest firmware:

A few times it's fixed itself, but not more than a day after it'll start doing it.
(yuktsi notice me senpai)
Are you using a TGR PCB or an L3 PCB? This is a known issue on L3 pcbs that usually can be fixed with a firmware update. If that doesn't do it, it's more than likely a faulty voltage regulator chip.
L3 PCB. It's happened more than a handful of times so I'm no stranger to it, but this is the longest it's gone without a fix. This is where I've always gotten the latest firmware:

L3_171209.zip is the firmware I've uploaded, but it was the last one I've used so there's nothing new.
Yeah, I've got the same one. Might want to look into a rebuild.
UGH.
Get a Hiney PCB innit.

Link? Will it fit Jane?
I keep forgetting what PCBs and plates work with this board. Anyone care to give a short list for lazy, ol' me? :rolleyes:

H87a will fit Jane. https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=97316.msg2658067#msg2658067
He's posting them out at the moment. He might have extras or someone will probably decide they don't want theirs anymore and sell it to you. Or you could wait til next round. Or you could see if someone has a spare Mech27 PCB, they fit as well.
