[GB] TGR-Jane custom TKL keyboard (COMPLETED)

[filphil]

Guess what just showed up at my door? I got one picture off before I realized I forgot to charge my battery and the camera died

Color? Still haven't seen titanium gray in the wild!

To be perfectly honest, Its a bit of a mystery to me as well. I originally ordered black but messaged yuktsi about a color option not exactly on the original list. yuktsi said Titanium would be close to that color I showed but I got busy with work and it fell off my radar.

I'm really happy with what came though, I was slightly regretting going with black so I'm very pleased with this surprise! To answer your original question, I think it should be the titanium.

Great picture bud! :thumb:

Wow that is like my dream setup! Very sharp!  :eek:
Is this matte titanium grey?

[tuantruong]

yes, it looks a bit closer to silver than the titanium, but still a wonderful color.

[nguyenkimtam]

I think that Titanium Color need more "grey"  . However , still a very very great color 

[calmfries]

Well, if you look at real titanium, that's pretty close

Still very pretty though

Good job. I think I'll do same thing with TGR logo.

Did you end up getting titanium gray after all?

Yupp, but it looks more greyish than my kmac titanium grey.

Also to my surprise the pcb only supports smd diodes!! Was planning a night of keyboard fun. Now I can't do shiet

Edit:smd (stupid phone)

Verification shot:

[henz]

Sorry for double post, but is there a guide for the RGB side leds on the TX87 pcb?

[icyskyz]

It might be silly to say this right now since everyone is just getting their boards.
But I completely missed out this GB and TGR-Jane has everything I wanted for a custom keyboard.
I would be glad to pick one up if anyone ever thinking of selling their TGR-Jane.

[whentheclouds]

you can wait for the second round, or grab a KMAC off somebody else

[icyskyz]

thanks for the suggestion.
and will GON's NerD 2.0 PCB work with TGR?

Jane works with A87 compatible pcb

Jane works with A87 compatible pcb

But would the USB port on GON's PCB match TGR's USB cutout hole? Just thought that it might be positioned differently.
And there seem like two different kind of PCBs, regular NerD TKL PCB 2.0 and PCB for KMAC, not sure which one would work correctly.
Not much information I can find, sorry about that.

you can buy a gon Nerd with the port on top. Would fit. Might need to modify plate a little as the spacebar stab is upside down on the nerd.

the description for the NerD KMAC PCB says 2.0 so i don't think you have to worry about that

[KnivesM]

Pretty sure the regular one would work if the usb is on the top as his tkl pcbs have the usb on the right side, but the kmac one would definitely work.

[yuktsi]

Yeah, they should work. The case work with any standard a87u, or any pcb that is based on the dimension of standard a87u.

But why do you want to use a nerd pcb?

[henz]

Are you sure about the kmac version ? the usb port is located on some kind of extension och the pcb. which might interfere on the Jane.

But why do you want to use a nerd pcb?

im thinkingin of using my tx87 pcb on my kaliet a87 case(alu polycarb sandwich) would be nice because of the RBG leds. And gon is the smoothest way to get compatible PCBs. So for me fully understandable. One could get another tx87 or get a a87u from sprit.

Pretty sure Kmac will not work.

[whentheclouds]

strange, last time i asked the same question in this thread and you said they do.

so you were talking about the actual NerD PCB instead of NerD for KMAC?

On the bottom there is an option to set the usb connection position.

Thanks for the explanation everyone! 

My friend has a spare GON PCB that I can use IF I am lucky enough to pick up a TGR-Jane. 
I have a GON TKL and I really like the way NerD GUI works and how it is very easy to use and understand. Since I am not familiar with all the key mapping or flashing firmware etc, I thought it would be great if GON's PCB works in this case.

Looks like NerD for KMAC will not work with TGR because the USB port extends a little too much like henz said.
It seems regualr NerD PCB with USB connector positioned on top would work just fine.

[whentheclouds]

glad we settled that once and for all

[taylordcraig]

If you maanged to get a TGR Jane it would likely come with the pcb... no?
Also mine is out for delivery  right now, hope it makes it here before I go to work.

I was just trying to clarify what icyskyz was saying. He is talking about a spare nerd pcb he can maybe use but overlooking the fact it's unlikely someone would sell their TGR and decide to keep the pcb.

Sorry about the confusion, I was just saying that I would swap the tx87 pcb that comes with TGR with nerd pcb, and trying to see if nerd pcb would work with TGR.

I've received 13/20, its gorgeous! Thanks yuktsi 





The plate is pretty scratched though, I'm not sure what I could do about it myself. I don't have the tools to be able to get a brushed finish and I think polished won't look that good.

More

I also noticed the PCB has 2 different versions: v1.2 near the spacebar, and v1.3 near the enter, maybe something to forward to Leeku  )

Lookin great guys!

4/20 is at my post office and I'll be going to pick it up in about 6 hours.
I then plan to go to Vancouver on November 7 or 8 and get it anodized in dank kush green.

I don't have the time right now to set it up, and other people have better quality pictures so I'll leave it to them.

[Steezus]

I haven't seen any pics of Jane with the Blue Grey anodized case, anybody have their board completed yet?
