What is the programming system for the viper?

O2D programmer from Duck. You need to download dfu-programmer and put it in the same folder as O2D

Thank you very much for the reference. By the way, your banner for the Beige set is awesome!

This is supposed to happen when FLIP key is held down then plugged in. What does it say in terms of Drivers installing? When you plug it in w/ FLIP held down, go to device manager and look for Atmel tab, if it isn't there,look for unknown devices.

Right, everything happen like you said.
When I hold FLIP key & plug in, there is messenger dectecting unsucessful driver.
Then I open device manger to manual install driver, everything is good except I can't flash firmware.

I think I broke my pcb somehow resoldering the switches to gateron blues :-( on my duck viper. Every key works except the 7 key.

Is it possible to get a new pcb? Any tips on fixing it?

Firmware confirmed to be working for a while when I was using ergo clears :-( I can think of two things I did wrong: 

-  I might have pulled too hard when removing the switch
-  I accidentally sprayed a some melted solder from my desoldering iron on the board when trying to clear it out

The 7 key is to the left of the screw hole

edit: also tried a few different switches in the slot, so it shouldn't be an issue with teh switch itself

plug it in, take a pair of tweezers, and try to jump the connection, like you would for anything else. The only thing I could guess is that the switch is bad.

tried to jump it with a spare wire, every key registers except the 7 

whose my best bet in the USA to possibly fix it?

I do soldering services, but not repairs what do you think you might have done? is there something wrong with the diode?

no idea  its probably something I did when desoldering the old switches. The only thing I can think of is that I ripped out the internal part of the pad by not removing all of the solder

[E3E]

Believe me, I went through hell when I desoldered my Octagon's switches because they had short-legged SIP sockets that were very difficult to desolder even with ample solder and a desoldering iron. ChipQuik was the best way to remove those kinds of SIP sockets for me. Especially since the melt temp is lower than the housing's melting point.

Anyway, I went through having to fix SMD RGB LEDs that went out, replacing diodes, and repairing pads and traces. It was hell, but I was determined not to let my baby, my first korean custom, be a $400 brick. I kept at it and ended up fixing it perfectly.

I can say I'm 90% sure I can fix your PCB if you'd trust me to work on it. If not, that's alright! I know I'm not very well known around here and my reputation doesn't precede me, haha. The PCBs are dual-layered as far as I know and even if a through hole or pad is completely ripped, I have ways of restoring the connection. That's what it seems it might be in your case.

Or just wait for leekus 75% pcb

[E3E]

Or just wait for leekus 75% pcb

Say what? No, my Octagon PCB is fine, though picking up a spare 75% Leeku was something I had in mind if I wanted to swap layouts. I've heard word of a carbon fiber 75% plate down the line, so that's what I'd get it for. Screw desoldering the Octagon again.

My previous post was talking about repairing phatdood9's Viper PCB.

Oh, I see! It seemed relevant to me given the context and what not. Not a bad idea, but also not a viper. D: I'm sure fixing it is top priority.

[sethk_]

Oh yeah, face palm

[phatdood9]

If you think you can do it, I'd be glad to send it over.

BTW, is it possible to cut any board (leeku?) so it fits the viper case?

no. if you can't get it working, maybe email duck and see if you could buy one off of him.

Sure thing, send me a PM if you'd like. I'm a charitable sort of person so I'm not really looking to make money off of helping you out; just pay shipping and I'll do my best to fix it up for you.

Anyone know what kind of screws the Viper / Eagle use?

[E3E]

Anyone know what kind of screws the Viper / Eagle use?

Here, these are the specs from the Lightsaver thread I found and used for reference when looking for info for my Octagon:

Screws: the 10 little screws you need to attach the plate to the case are size M2 in Torx T6 with a 0.4mm pitch (called "coarse" or "normal") and 5mm length.

I know this is a massive long shot, but I've had some luck doing this on other old Group Buy pages. Does anyone still have a kit they might want to sell?

Keep the faith trenza.... I just had someone surprise me with a new viper 

@elton thanks for the acrylic inserts good sir

This was probably mentioned here but did anyone come up with a good simple way to attach the acrylic inserts to there viper ?

I use double-sided fabric tape, which is pretty much 100% adhesive without a backing like duct tape or masking tape. http://www.michaels.com/10340764.html

EDIT: JaccoW's method might be better if you want to remove them easily. The stuff I use has a lot of adhesion. It can be pulled off without an issue though, but you'd have to reapply it if you want to have the sides stick again. It holds really well though. I also only apply the tape on the outer parts of the insert, like near the edges.

Pretty sure there's one or two Vipers for sale in classified's right now.  Two silver and a black one but they're already built.
