[IC] Duck Viper and Eagle

[tbc]

I almost bought an actual HHKB this weekend, I hope this GB happens soon!

Why not both?

derr....if you don't send me a PM....i'll send you one

That is my typical stance.  I have 2 GH60s and 2 sprit 75%s on the way, plus four current MX-Minis.  I'm going to start selling boards.

[tjweir]

Describe dem MX minis

2 that are mixed acrylic/alum with sitckered 60ish gram blacks.
1 thats all acrylic with about 40gram stickered blacks.
1 thats in pieces while I make a wood case or use the GON MX-mini Skinny I'm having made.
Finally, 2 Sprit 75%s with his plates or GON MX-mini Skinnies, unsure at this point.

Aka, too many. :3

GH60 doesn't even support full LED

Not *yet* it doesn't. Last I heard, komar007 had the beta LED module in hand and was testing it. The module was created to add LED support to the GH60. When it's coming out is a different story.

I am so glad that I have held out thus far on a 60% keyboard. The one piece Duck aluminum cases just ooze quality.

The only problem is I might have to buy a Eagle AND a Viper. I just cannot decide which I would prefer!

[kohi]

dang if I wasn't so broke I'd definitely be in for a viper

Hopefully this question hasn't been asked yet, but does anyone know exactly how configurable the key layout is going to be using the Duck Firmware?  Will we be allowed to decide where each individual key goes and whether it is accessible via the Fn layer or not?  Or, are there a few layouts that we have to choose from?

Good question. I don't know anything about Duck's firmware either. I'm used to a specific custom layout! If I can't get it with the viper I will cry ;o

Well, after looking on the duck website it appears that the entire layout may be configurable.  See the following:

http://duck0113.tistory.com/category/Duck%20mini%20firmware

An example is given where each number + row is edited in notepad and burned using the KMAC exe.  Hopefully, this is also how it will be for the viper and eagle.

[Darkwell]

I would be so in for an Eagle! They both look absolutely amazing though.

Patiently waiting for this GB to go live

[cooldiscretion]

Does anyone have any idea where one might be able to purchase a keyset with classic beige and blue text like the one on the eagle in on the duck website?  I've looked around and the only thing I could find was the keyset offered through Originative, but it doesn't have the standard ANSI bottom row.

There's no where you can get them. Unless you are very lucky on classifieds. The closest alternative I can think of is taihao doubleshot.

[elton5354]

I think I can get some KingSavers, Light Pads, Duck Minis...anyone interested?

[mashby]

I'm interested in a Light Pad.

[tuantruong]

I'm interested in all of them!
Is the Duck mini available in red with the raiser?

[elton5354]

They're not going to be in a group buy as there are very limited numbers of them.  I will post on classifieds once I get all the details ready.

Mods: I need them on hand first though right if I want to post on classifieds?  I am helping TrueCustom, so I don't have any on hand.  It's like the group buys where they pay and I have them shipped.

Is this in reference to the Viper/Eagles? or the leftover king-savers/light-pads/duck-mini's?

[elton5354]

Super interested in light pad!!!!

Can you get pics from TrueCustom with both his and your handles?

Light pads are the keypads, yeah?

If so, hell yeah, I'm interested!

[D01]

That page with the Eagle and Light Pad makes me drool.  I want both.

My understanding is that this would then go into the Artisan Services section. I shall point a mod in this direction however.

Could you have TrueCustom make a post in the Classifieds with some signed/dated photographs and state that you're the proxy?  That should be sufficient   But really you could have him list those in the Artisan Services section (or list for him with him posting to confirm).  I think it makes more sense for these custom keyboards to be listed there.

[admiralvorian]

I want a light pad so bad.

I have asked Duck to sign our names and date with the boards. That should be ok I hope.

I won't know the details of quantities or price until next week.

[Fnzzy]

I am not all too experienced with Duck boards. Are they using plate mounted or PBC mounted stabs? That's the only thing I still need to buy.

Apparently most, if not all Korean custom boards use PCB-mounted stabs.
This is just from what I've heard.

I want a duck mini.

[Crabby_b]

I'd be interested in a mini

[nubbinator]

I'm not sure how much a Kingsaver costs, but I'm interested in one or at least a plate and PCB.

[bazh]

Interested in pad case :v

[Motan22]

I think it's just the anodizing issue that might come up like smudging during the anodizing process, spots. etc.  To reduce this problem they chose to offer fewer colours to maintain a better quality control.

They can offer it, but they prefer not to that's why they said that.

With regards to titanium anodizing, is this something that would be available in a range of colours, or does it produce a sort of 'spectrum' finish. Does anyone have any examples?

[zflamewing]

I know my surgical grade TI ear rings are anodized a specific color.  It's soaked in a solution with a electricity  applied.  If I remember right the level of the voltage determines the color.

Very interesting! Thanks for sharing. 

[Razor Lotus]

Interested in a light pad

[Vintage]

Can't wait for this buy to happen! 

[ApocalypseMaow]

Light pad fo sho!

[geniekid]

Is separate PCB and/or plate an option?

[elton5354]

Not sure yet...

But here's a pic ...



And here are their steel plates..



Anyone know what's written on the paper?

[StylinGreymon]

When will you know how many Light Pads and stuff will be available?

[elton5354]

Probably over the weekend

[cooldiscretion]

Not sure yet...

Wait is that the Light pad...? (I thought the light pad was a numpad  :confused:)
What keyboard is that?

I have been looking for an aluminum custom high and low and everywhere in between (but not low profile like GON's)
If there are any extra Kingsaver's, I'd definitely be in for that.

It's an Alps board.

edit: I'm a dumbass and accidentally embedded my reply in the quote.

Gosh darn it. Of the ones Elton listed as possibly available, are there any TKL MX boards? (Are there any TKL MX boards by Duck besides the Orion?)

Sorry if this has been answered, but has the price for the Kingsaver's been mentioned yet?
