Perhaps add clarification that at least at this time the BT PCB only supports TMK?
I'm confused why the group buy says $275usd per kit but on the website it shows $340?

Finally! BTW it shows as sold out but I'm going to assume it's still being set up.

Does anyone know what sort of battery the BT version uses? Would love an example/link to one, just so I don't get the wrong one and blow my keyboard up 😅

I never really heard any clarification on this, but if it supports TMK, why can it not support QMK? is it just that the port hasn't been done, or is it that the port isn't possible?

BT PCB supports TMK only at the moment. Maybe someone might able to get it goes with QMK.

Is it possible to get PVD Brass Alps plate? or red. :)
Will the silver this time once again be the very matte silver?
Also is it possible to show the white case colour next to the silver case colour? And could you show both with default 9009 type keycap set to get a sense of whiteness?
Thanks!!
so there'll be no gold rose color like R1 ?
This may be noted somewhere but I would like to confirm; is the brass plate is compatible with the BT PCB?
Plate pic. The upper one is for Alps, the other one is for both alu and brass.
All these are compatible with BT PCB.

Do you have a specific battery that you recommend? Is there a certain connection type required for the PCB?
I just want to be 100% sure before I order: the PCB/BT PCB/plates are all compatible with R1 case, correct?
why there is no different between normal and special color price ???
no rose gold this time?I'm sad. i like rose gold
edit: i didnt see it got cancelled.

This is tough. If you are getting white, which keycaps are you going to use? I'm thinking of using Metaverse.
In for Dark Red, Brass Plate, BT PCB. Now just to light a fire under Input Club to start SA Royalty GB for matching keyset!

I'm going to go with Dark Red and GMK Red Samurai. Brass plate for bling and feeling. Not sure about BT yet think I'll go wired.

Metaverse would work pretty well. In my opinion anything with white alphas and non-white mods would look good.
A bluetooth switch between Tab and Q

True good point. Now I wish I went in for Serika.
I think space cadet would look great on white. Guess I'll try that or Maxkey Ashen on white or grey... or black...or silver.
Always looking so good. if there was a board to get me to buy MX. . . it has me thinking.

What color is going to match my taro set the best? I was thinking gray blue may look gud but im not sure.
What stabs are intended to be used on the ALPS plate? ALPS style? If so, one should be able to use Matias or Costar stab inserts to put SP ALPS caps on this board, right?
Is there any difference between the BT PCB and the normal one, other than the BT functionality? Also what kind of stabilizer and switches (PCB or platemount) do I need?

Dark grey or black imo.

Do you have any comparison between those two.

If I’m not mistaken those are all grey (except the purple) as the shots are from R1 and they had not made a black one yet at that time.
If we just want a BT PCB/plate, is it still 45 shipping? Would love to add BT to my R1 CA66.

Don't now if this has been asked before, but how white is the white option? Is it plain white or off-white?
In the pictures on the site it looks similar to the silver option.

This cable is a perfect match with Dark Red. Are you going to replace the RJ45s with USB connectors? You have enough wires for that inside the cable?
I'm thinking I'll do either the grey blue / drak grey or black (not sure which caps go well with it - I have nautilus, SA Carbon, SA Foundation, 9009, DSA Royal Navy and XDA Canvas ). I should have gotten in on Serika :(
I want to do a unique color, for such a nice case, which is why I'm thinking grey blue. thoughts ?

The blue is really nice and unique and definitely goes well with Nautilus or neutral sets like 9009. That’s my vote for you!

qq does the bluetooth version of the PCB also come with usb-c?
Is there a reason, that, according to the site, you have to pick the more expensive shipping methode?
Okay, perfect, thanks for the fast response!Is there a reason, that, according to the site, you have to pick the more expensive shipping methode?
Because all CA66 stuffs are packaged and shipped in factory directly. They are not going to be shipped to TW first.
We have a guy supervise and QC there, so TW post is not available. ;)

Anybody who has the CA66 from the first round can tell us about the status of their "CA66" badge? Does it take dirt easily and does it look bad with it? Or does it look even better a bit worn out :) ? Struggling hard with the WKL version.
I have one from the last round. The badge is still as shiny as the day I got it.
Are there any pictures of the plate colors other than the brass?
Reassuring then :thumb:i want to see non-purple Ca66 with SA hyperfuse too :D
While I'm at it, anybody has a picture of a non-purple CA66 with SA Hyperfuse? I'd like to have a more polyvalent case than purple but can't decide which one :rolleyes:
Struggling with choosing a color :confused:
I'll have SA Symbiosis, SA Godspeed, SA Carbon, and SA Pulse that I would like to use on it. Maybe silver might be the best color choice for these sets?

FWIW, I have a dark grey from the prior round, and I haven't loved the way my Godspeed caps look on it. Too contrasty. (Carbon would be great, though, and I suspect Symbiosis will as well. SA Calm Depths also looks aces on it.)
That said, I'm also planning on picking up either a silver or white CA66 in this round for use with Godspeed and/or Symbiosis. ;D

Is the dark red going to match the dark red from r1? It was more of a brown than red, which is a good thing IMO.
Sorry if this has already been answered: If you order a CA66 kit, and then order an extra PCB and plate do we need to pay shipping for the extras, or will they all be shipped together?
- Is the BT PCB USB-C and does it support C to C?
- Does the BT PCB come with a daughter board for the connector like the default one does?
- There were mentions of putting the RGB LEDs on a raised daughter board to prevent light bleed. Was this done, and if so, do both the default and BT PCBs have it?
- Do you have pictures of the different colored alu plates, primarily red?
- Why did the designer decide that the brass plate wouldn't be an option in the main offering? The alu plate is a waste of money for most people who are getting brass plates.
Any idea when we might see a render / sample of the final army green colour on the product page?

So just to be sure, does the non-BT PCB support flashing firmware using the QMK toolbox? Meaning its not like the round 1 PCB which could flash a QMK hex file but only with the ydkb.io reflash tool? If it does support the QMK toolbox, will I have to change the bootloader to use it or will it work out of the box?
Thanks.
CA66 PCBs are using HID bootloader, not normal dfu. So the original toolbox won't support unless there's an upgrade.
In last round wjchen made a QMK toolbox that supports HID bootloader. :thumb:

You guys might want to look at the configuration for the online TMK editor, currently it swaps two keys, the up arrow key location of the arrow cluster and the bottom key location of the right hand mod cluster.
it's an easy fix to make everything correct, just assign the up arrow to the bottom right key and the bottom right key to the up arrow location, but it's pretty annoying to have to do that.

Hi, I contacted YANG for checking the flaw you said, and there's nothing swapped.
I myself had built several CA66s including from R1 and China GB, and didn't meet the situation you mentioned.
Do you mind to help us check it again? ;)

Perhaps soldering 4 switches, but I think the sockets have enough friction that mounting isn't needed. I have some hotswap boards without screws and no problems at all.
Do you know the diameter of the holes?
Just for clarification purposes as I'm on the fence on buying either another CA66 or just an extra pcb:
The default pcb now supports programmable RGB LEDs, correct? The previous pcb wasn't programmable, just a light strip, if I remember it correctly.
How is the USB-C connector on YANG's BT pcb? I understand it's not on a daughter board so how is the fit when not using BT and using the USB-C connector instead.
Reeeally interested in that white CA66, even though I already have the luxurious dark red since last round. :cool:
I'm looking for people's opinions:
I'm unsure whether to buy the black or white case.
If money was no object I would buy the black case and buy SA troubled minds r2, but that's probably a bit much..
I have SA Carbon but I'm missing the modifiers extension so unless I can find it on mechmarket (unlikely) I may not be able to use it..
I'm thinking the easiest option might be to buy the white case and pick up a set of DSA Honeywell caps.
Has anyone seen photos of DSA profile caps on the CA66?
If they look alright I will get a white case, otherwise I'll get a black one and keep my eyes open for something in SA profile..

I bought in a few days ago and want to add a brass plate to the order. Is it possible to bundle this shipping with the rest of the board so i don't have to pay additional post?
I decided on the white in the end, I'm hoping I can either find the missing keys for my SA Carbon set, or sell them and look for a set of Honeywell keys that have the correct size mods. YEEET!I'm looking for people's opinions:

You'll need a connector if you want to plug in/out easily. The size will be 1.25mm, 2 pin.
Or you can just remove the receptacle on PCB and solder wires in holes instead.When ordering spare parts how would we select colors for aluminum plates (both regular and alps)? There isn’t an option to select plate colors. Should we make a note somewhere?
We already realized we missed the color choosing parts for both plates.
It's a bit complicate for setting up the page and we don't think change it during GB period is a good idea.
So we'll send emails to order owners for checking everyone's choice of colors.
Sorry for causing any inconvenience.

Sorry for missing to reply your question.
Very much different. Gold alu plate is sandblasted, and brass will be mirror-like.

I could not resist. Ordered one CA66 in Grey with Titanium Badge and BT PCB....
With these sets do you think I am right?
My sets:
- SA Oblivion
- SA Calm Depths (whenever it appears on sight)
- SA 1965
- SA Pulse
- SA Jukebox
- SA Modern Selectric Black
- SA Hyperfuse
- SA Cabon
- SA Solarized Dark
White is heavy on me also... very nice also.
Similar I have a Black Exent, and Norbaforce is Grey also... I know I tend to grey colours in my keyboards... but I saw Oblivion in a Grey one with Ti badge and WOW!
Also, why buying anymore PCB or plates? From my other builds those tend to be left in boxes with nothing to say... may be I miss something?

You guy have any image compare gray and black, in the same picture

Nice, seems like the gold alu is more muted. Hmm what time on Sep 5th does the GB close by the way?How different is the gold alu plate from the brass plate? Any pictures?

Grey or white would work with most of those sets but I think grey would win out. Jukebox would benefit most from white but most of the rest would either look better with grey or equally as good.
Love my grey CA66 from the last round, and just placed an order for a white CA66 from this one! Looking forward to pairing it with Symbiosis (and Godspeed)! :D
Anyone else having a hell of a time choosing which color? So torn between Black and White that I am considering splitting the difference and going for Grey. Help!What kits are you planning on using?

The only notable kit I have coming is the GMK Space Cadet, but I wasn't planning on putting that on the CA66. I really like SA Oblivion so I'm looking for something with muted off-white or grey in the same vein. I have been toying around with Miami Nights since last night in my head :cool:
thinking of getting dark grey, but asking anyway. which color goes with modern dolch? /dev/tty beige/rgb?
edit: is this dark grey?

They’re just renders but looks like grey to me. I’d also recommend grey based on your sets.
order in. dark grey/red/BT WKL + brass plate. was a tough decision between hhkb and wkl, but in the end, the extra key won.
Hey PlayKeyb! I sent you a message. Kindly check your email :D Thank you!
The default pcb is compatible with the brass plate from last round, right?

Could you give a breakdown of the major differences between this pcb compared to the previous round? I've picked up bits and pieces in the threads here and there, but it'd be really nice to just see a list. :)
Will the BT plate .dwg files be made available after the buy is over?Yes, it is

We refunded some extra parts orders which chose the wrong shipping method.
Please help us check you email and account status.
If you are still fancy getting these parts, place a new order with choosing DHL Express for shipping.
We appreciate it. :thumb:
When ordering spare parts how would we select colors for aluminum plates (both regular and alps)? There isn’t an option to select plate colors. Should we make a note somewhere?

We already realized we missed the color choosing parts for both plates.
It's a bit complicate for setting up the page and we don't think change it during GB period is a good idea.
So we'll send emails to order owners for checking everyone's choice of colors.
Sorry for causing any inconvenience. :(

I'm completely torn on color choice. The red looks the best on it's own, but I've never seen it with keycaps on it that do it justice (maybe 9009). The silver is a classic choice and would go with anything, but it may be boring. White is awesome and looks close to the original PCJr board, but I have a few white boards lined up. Dark gray is always nice. GAAAAAAAAA. I can't decide.The red is really really dark. You can check out NK's YouTube channel he did a build with it last week I believe. I went with white in the end cos I was gonna match it with Metaverse and black didn't seem to go too well with the brass plate.
I wish I could see Muted on the blue and gray cases and see Honeywell on the white. Also wonder what ePBT slate will look like on gray.
Does anyone know if the plate allows the switch top to be opened without desoldering?No

You can wait till GB ended, they'll public their plate file then you modified it then cut your own plate

Dark red is my favorite, but I also really like blue-gray and olive green options. Chocolate brown was going to be nice too but didn't make it. Personally I prefer the darker versions of the keyboard to silver/white. Dark red/bordeaux makes me think of my favorite fountain pen inks like Diamine Syrah and Colorverse Dark Energy.
WTB black > grey > silver HHKB BLE version if anyone is willing to part ways..
I just finished converting an old telephone cord into a USB cable for use with the dark red CA66. I hope the colours turn out!

I saw in the IC thread that bright dip anodizing was being considered as a potential option - can we request that or will all boards be matte? I ordered a silver but if glossier silver is possible would be happy to take that up.

Any plans to do hot swap for next group buy? Would be very interested.

I've heard a couple comments while watching build streams that the V2 CA66 is going to have the light strip elevated to help stop the light bleed into the surrounding keys. I can't find documentation of this anywhere; is it true?

Yes, Play Keyboards stated this during the IC. The Bluetooth pcb doesn’t have the elevated led strip but the wired one does!

Huh, I could've sworn it was the stock PCB that was Alps compatible, guess I was wrong. Going to be looking for a second BT PCB now, I guess.
If the plates weren't Alps or MX specific, why would an Alps plate have been an option? And why would both an MX and an Alps plate been shown as separate in the OP?
So, has anyone bought their battery yet? I'm hoping to not have to solder one in case the battery goes bad. Any suggestions?
So, has anyone bought their battery yet? I'm hoping to not have to solder one in case the battery goes bad. Any suggestions?
I was planning on ordering one after I get dimensions of the available space . . I'm guessing you should be able to fit upwards of 3000 mAh using a long flat rectangular cell.
But I'm not positive how the circuit works. USB charging when plugged in, but how much current? - is the charging circuit specific for LiPo chemistry? (3.6-4.2V)
I would like to use a Li-Ion cell (3.2-4.2V) as that would make overcharging/overdischarging a lot less explosive (did I hear correctly that the LED bar does voltage monitoring?) and also fit a couple more mAh.
For connecting, it should be up to your preference . . I will probably use a connector though.

You'll need a connector if you want to plug in/out easily. The size will be 1.25mm, 2 pin.
Or you can just remove the receptacle on PCB and solder wires in holes instead.When ordering spare parts how would we select colors for aluminum plates (both regular and alps)? There isn’t an option to select plate colors. Should we make a note somewhere?
We already realized we missed the color choosing parts for both plates.
It's a bit complicate for setting up the page and we don't think change it during GB period is a good idea.
So we'll send emails to order owners for checking everyone's choice of colors.
Sorry for causing any inconvenience. :(

The image from the IC post looks like the measurements are somewhere around 150mm x 50mm. Still not sure on the depth though.

There should be enough room for either of those batteries. I just took some rough measurements with a ruler, but either one should fit. The only thing I would be concerned with would be the switch pins.
Since you wouldn’t want them to puncture the battery, personally I would find the optimal location for the battery, mark it out on the board, and then of the switches that would be under the battery, I would clip the pins of those switches level with the pcb before soldering them, then use double sided tape to attach the batter to the bottom plate so it stays in place.
We need a round 3, so sad I missed out. :(According to OP there won't be one, but there are regularly ones that are for sale on r/mechmarket
This still shipping in a week? Lol
Hi guys. We just finished CNC process, and ready to move to anodizing phase.
This round wasn't as smooth as last one. We spent some time dealing with them.

I had the same issues, two round one PCBs that eventually died. Messaged PlayKeyboardTW about it and he said they found the problem and have fixed it for round 2. I'd message him about your issues, he was very responsive and is including a replacement in my R2 order and may be able to help you out.
Default PCB updates here. We put some tricks in it. ;)

Sounds like the cases might be done soonish. Is there a new ship date estimate?
Thanks!

Kinda wishing I went for what looks like dark red :eek:
I understand if you customized the PCB in some way to make it possible for those 4 keys, but would I be able to add Kailh style hot swap sockets to rest of the board? Is it compatible?

No. The Kailh hotswap sockets require a special footprint with pads and cutouts in different places than a regular cherry footprint. If it's not there from the start it's not possible to add them later.
Does anyone know if there is a profile for the CA66 on QMK configurator? I couldn't seem to find one. Edit: Never mind I found it under PlayKeyboardCa66 or something like that.
Hi guys.
As Chinese New Year is approaching. There are many vendors of other industries trying to finish their stuffs before Chinese New Year as we do.
So it's quite a mess in the factory right now.
By estimating the situation, we might able to finish all the works before the date.
But won't have time to do the packing after Chinese New Year holidays. :(
We sincerely apologize for this, and will be heading back to work as soon as holidays are over.
Thanks for understanding of all of you. :)
Hi!
I just got a CA66 from Round 1, and I fear the PCB may have bricked after only a few days of use...
@PlayKeyboard, since I know this was a recurring issue with Round1, did you find a solution? Are these issues fixed for Round 2?
See people discussing R1 issues here, on the last page : https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=93542.900
Are there any extra PCBs from Round 2 I might purchase privately to replace the dead one?
This is really disappointing to me, as the CA66 is (was) my endgame, and it died after barely a few hours of use....
I'm looking forward to hearing from you on this issue.

+1 for the pcb issues. 4 keys on the right stopped working along with some other on the top row. It was fine for over 4 months, which is why i'm surprised.
I purchased a BT PCB, but I can't be in doubt if it still has the same issues.
Is the PCB compatible with screw in Stabilizers?
is there a chance to add extras to our GB order before it ships? wanna get my hands on a brass plate
(Attachment Link) (Attachment Link)
BT PCB done.
We will be back to the factory to finish the rest of anodizing stuff on 20th. :thumb:
Edit: just noticed there’s no USB connector on the PCB. Is that added later?

If I recall correctly, the USB port is on a daughterboard mounted separately in the case. You might be able to find pictures of this from the previous GB.
Is there anything I can do to prevent my R1 PCB from dying? Kind of hesitant to build it without knowing the problem.I'm also curious as to whether the issue has been isolated and changes have been made to the R2 PCB..

@PlayKeyboardTWI'd like this too since I forgot to order one
Is it still possible to buy an extra ALPS plate? If not can you share the plate file and I can get it cut. I recently got some really clean Blue Alps and I think the CA66 will be a good board for the switches.

Does anyone know if there will be any spares available?There are WKL kits available, unless the extras all sold...
