I will be kickstarting this classic again as my past two projects, TaiChi and Nebula ver.S, are completed.
There will be new improvements based on the feedback I have received.

General information and price of the keyboard. Prices excludes shipping and PayPal fees:

TKL Keyboard USD 590
1. Case will be top mounted, 6063 aluminum - t5 (top and bottom casing)
2. Brass weight - Sandblasted
3. Typing angle at 7-8 degrees
4. Silver aluminium universal switch plate
5. QMK PCB - USB C daughterboard (Via ready)
6. Keyboard box
7. Colours - Aluminium anodizing (Please refer to the colour combos below)

Weight of unbuild keyboard plus PCB is approximately 4.3kg. Do note shipping will be considerably more versus Nebula since this is a hefty board.

Additional parts：
1. PCB USD 40
2. Brass switch plate - Sandblasted USD 35
3. Brass stripes - Sandblasted USD 20

Colour options:
1. Silver Top + Silver Bottom + Brass Stripes (+10 USD more for the stripes upgrade)

Raffle results will be announced by 7 Nov 2020 or earlier.

Invoices will be billed in Singapore Dollars (SGD, based on bank rates as of 1 Nov 2020).

GB will start now and end 07 Nov 2020 (or when 100 units are ordered). Limited to 100 orders based on raffle results.
Delivery - given the uncertainty and how screwed up the world is, I set a buffer period of 6 - 8 months after initial down payment to the manufacturer (targeted 15 Nov 2020).
In the event it is completed early, it will be shipped out immediately once shipping invoice is paid for.

General FAQ:
1. Pricing of the keyboard has been updated accordingly to the quote from the manufacturer. Since anodization is done by a new setup in-house (same as Nebula) it is costlier.
2. Non-transferring of spots. I will not entertain any transfer of spots due to the rampant flipping of spots in this hobby.
3. 50/100 slots will be given automatically to past supporters of my projects as well as my friends. The remaining 50 will be via raffling.
4. I will be updating all progress here and in my discord. https://discord.gg/nHVqZ7fr3K
5. Feel free to contact me in discord.

Shipping:
Do note that shipping to USA will be approximately USD 60, Canada around USD 80. Rest of Asia / World will be advised.
I will invoice the exact shipping cost when I am ready for shipment.
Do note this is just a ballpark amount. Prices will be updated when it is ready to be shipped.

Billing and invoicing:
1. I am collecting in SGD as PayPal imposed an additional surcharge of 3% for checking out payments to US bank accounts (offshore for me)..

Is r2 pcb compactible with R1 Case?

Interesting, I asked about a rerun of this years ago and got a bunch of people saying it would never ever happen again.

The first PCB was directly soldered to the daughter board which in my honest opinion is super clunky.
Too many PCB RMAs arises from that.
This round it will be JST SH connectors, which requires routing at the bottom case for cabling space.
I don't think r2 PCB is suitable for r1 boards due to space constraints.

Themonkeyswrench · « **Reply #13 on:** Sat, 31 October 2020, 13:27:36 »

Will the brass stripes fit earlier moons? Also, will the plate be the same?

IOVERCALLHISTIOCYTES · « **Reply #14 on:** Sat, 31 October 2020, 13:34:22 »

Raffle, not FCFS, and open from...soon? to Nov 7th?

Themonkeyswrench are we supporters if we hurriedly bought r1 Moons as soon as we could?

Okonomiyaki#2832 · « **Reply #15 on:** Sat, 31 October 2020, 13:44:17 »

Added the raffle form. Good luck all - results will be out by 7 Nov via PM.
I do not wish to publicize the list in case of harassments.

I was part of the first GB and the quality was just W O W.

Ordered a silver and black for my first builds in years!

macclack · « **Reply #24 on:** Sun, 01 November 2020, 08:53:26 »

Wew, as someone who was in the first round, I can vouch that this is legit awesome. PCB sucked but r1 was compatible with HineyTKL PCB which saved the day.

GLWGB!

Super exciting! I liked so much about the V1 but accidentally ordered the WKL and haven't been able to find a winkey one to trade for. I just can't get comfortable with WKL blockers.

Some updates:

Form was closed early due to overwhelming demand. I will perform the selection now. I have managed to secure the production units up to 200, slightly half of the joiners will win a spot. Production period will stay the same (6-8 months after my payment to manufacturer).
I will send out the invoices to winners by 4 Nov 2020 (if you don't receive my invoice by then, you didn't get in). Please make payment as soon as possible to secure your spot. I would like to firm down the manufacturing quantity and production slots to avoid delays. China holidays are around end Jan/Feb next year.
Please please confirm your orders, i.e. quantity, colour selection, extras, layout. Please contact me if you have issues before payment. Once I have submitted the order, no more changes.

Last but not least, thank you for the support guys. I really appreciate it. Cheers!

I have sent out an email to Singaporean participants, as for the rest I am still working on creating invoices.

Will proceed to send them out once I am done napping.

Ughh, might be nearing the end of my limit for PayPal collection, for those who are willing to pay via transferwise (less paypal fees and their garbage fx fee), do drop me a PM.

This will help me greatly. For now at least 100 units have been secured for this run.

If anyone backs out due to invoicing by PayPal, I’m happy to pay by credit card or transfer, you’re groupbuys are always reliable in my book.

Assuring to hear, am glad that I rushed to do the invoices to settle most of administrative tasks and fished out the problems early.
Will hook you up later if there is a free spot.

I know Moon v1 worked with Hiney's H87A and there is this: https://hineybush.com/collections/pcbs/products/h87alps?variant=16601818038336
I don't believe they would fit as-is with Moon v2 but there is hope of aftermarket support at least
