Looks gorgeous!
I love the frosted acrylic under the aluminum.
Are the holes on the label functional for the lock keys?

Taeyoung, welcome to GeekHack!

I really like your keyboard, and would love to have Lin's keycaps one day (I love blanks!!)

How did you make/get that sticker? I am thinking of building a TX1800, and would like a sticker

That is so sexy. Excellent work Taeyoung! Is this something you plan to sell? I can see it easily attracting loads of 1800 lovers.

This is an excellent build. Though the TX1800 looks awesome, I'm a sucker for combining acryl + aluminium.

sethk_ · « **Reply #18 on:** Tue, 17 February 2015, 19:15:14 »

It would be cool to have a frosted acrylic bottom, to diffuse the smd leds

Will it be available as completed keyboard in GB?

Do you mean it is ISO support?
Sorry this Version of PCB can'tsupport ISO.
But the next version I have a plan to support ISO.
The reason is that this PCB's designer; Leeku didn't considered supporting ISO.
Thank you for your question.

I could be wrong but i think he meant, "are these keyboards complete? or parts?"

Assuming it's like most GB it'd be individual parts but sometimes assembly is offered but it'll cost extra, obviously.

I'll offer this lot of packages and options.
For example... if you want full built edition... yes I will. And whatever you want, I will, too.

Basically All of housing parts provided with metal sticker options; 3 locks, Logo and Customer ID)

1. Full pre-build edition. (Include all add-ons; SMD LED-bar, Keycaps, Switches, Di-odes pre-soldered PCB, etc.)

2. Full pre-build edition without keycaps. (Include SMD LED-bar, Di-odes pre-soldered PCB and Switches)

3. Full set Type.A (Include SMD LED-bar, Keycaps, Di-odes pre-soldered PCB, Switches without soldering)

4.Full set Type.B (Include SMD LED-bar, Di-odes Pre-soldered PCB only)

5. And Custom options enable.

Is it enough?
All options and sets are not fixed yet. But it maybe enable.
Do you have any questions?

Hey! It's not TX. LK-1800fe. Different new one.

tuantruong · « **Reply #25 on:** Wed, 18 February 2015, 02:35:24 »

Is there any chance the Red and Orange colors will be up for GB? they look so gooddd.
Have you estimated the price for one set "Full pre-build edithin without keycaps"? There are just so many up coming custom KBs that I can't afford all of them. Have to choose one that fits my wallet. What a shame.

Sure but more cost added.

And I said include or without keycap set.

Both of all options enable.

Thank you!

Whoops, was not paying attention! Still looks amazing though!

tuantruong · « **Reply #29 on:** Sun, 22 February 2015, 07:10:30 »

is the SMD LED bar RGB or just a single color?
Also in the pictures it seems the LED bars are hooked up with the switch's LED holes, so that's the final design or we will have a new PCB design that has some dedicated holes just for the LED bars?
BTW, do you have any estimated date of the GB?

Chromako · « **Reply #30 on:** Sun, 22 February 2015, 07:29:23 »

So much wants. So much lust. Okay, maybe not lust. But, that's beautiful work. I especially like how you've done the lock lights. Classy.

It's a final edition.
This LED bar is not RGB, just one color support.
Actually Leeku's PCB can't support RGB that is true and there's not any plan for improving PCB specs.
The reason is that Leeku's primary design didn't considered it.
So I tried to add SMD LED-bar instead of RGB.

I have a plan for GB in last week of March.

Thanks for info. I'm still interested in a Red or Orange housing with White or Sky Blue SMD LED-bar if it's possible.
