[asdfjkl36]

[icyskyz]

yuktsi, is it confirmed that the previous Titanium Grey will not be offered for round 2 Jane?

I was really hoping for sky blue or red , olive green may be interesting though.

Yeeaa. Sky blue

I might change my mind after seeing the color samples.
We'll see

[zhihuichan]

7075 is better. The smooth surface feels nice! I may be in a 86 blue gray case.

[mrboovn]

I hope those are not final color options I really want a Cyan case

[ntitco1]

Sad no Titanium 
Anw do you have some color samples yuktsi? Hard to think about in which color I wanna go with right now.

Edit: or maybe the Titanium in r1 was renamed to Silver? Just notice no one got silver in r1 )

[bocahgundul]

[nguyenkimtam]

Maybe i will go with Olive Green

I just saw the pictures u posted on the groupbuy thread
is it possible to get it like that in R2? which get acrylic material in bottom

[Photekq]

Got confirmation back that they are indeed true vintage browns harvested from a g80-11801, the person whom I bought them off of also double checked the literal model number on the label. Placement of the logo and springs match up with vintage browns as well. They definitely feel different compared to the few new brown switches I have.

Yeah, those will be "old" browns. A bit nicer than modern ones. "Vintage" browns, which are nicer again, are only found in G80-5000 and G80-1838.

I have browns from the 1838, but they feel rather scratchy though

 :thumb:Loving the efforts you put in.  This is surely a highly anticipated project. I really woudn't mind the over-sized weight plate tbh. Btw does it goes thru the back of the case? Or you can only see it from above

It's only on the inside of the case, it won't be visible. That's how it aas for r1 and that's what yuktsi's current pictures indicate as well.

So the main differences in obvious appearance are the notched bottom case and the hidden brass plate. While I much prefer the notched bottom half, I'm so happy to have my r1 Jane because of the color I've chosen.

[Tofunator]

The olive green looks sooo good jeez

[ccc24]

thanks for the updates..any update on price?

[Steezus]

thanks for the updates..any update on price?

Price should be around $420 for the kit like last, highly doubt it will be cheaper because 7075 alu will be used this time.

[azhdar]

Will this be numbered like first run ?
If so from 1 to 25?

Since olive green color is hard to capture, can we have an idea of how it really looks like ? pick here

electro nickel plating is great brass

I'm just waiting for the price shock. I'm a poor uni student yo

Reading some of the replies... $400?? $700???@?@!!!!!!

The reason it can hit 700, is because you buy your own switches and diodes. Some people went out of their way to get a cap set specifically for it as well.

$700 US = 1K Canadian for me.

It's going to be around $420 for the kit(case, pcb, plate) which was the price of round 1. The $700 price you saw is what I paid overall for all the parts and the kit to build myself, including shipping. I went all out on my board trying to assure that it can be the best it can get, you wouldn't have to spend as much but it will still be well over $500.

[Armagedda]

Hey yuktsi,

I know you said you were planning on keeping the run size on this fairly low. I completely understand that, love the exclusivity value and hate waiting through a month of orders on most GBs.

What I'm wondering is how open you would be to extending the run size depending on interest in this board.

If this can be delivered by Christmas you would be my own personal Jesus Christ. I really don't want to miss out.

[alienman82]

removed.

[jaffers]

400usd is still 559.19aud. Well out of my price range unfortunately

[bocahgundul]

Bro the gap i'm bothered by it too

[livingspeedbump]

I'll be in for this! Following

[KaminKevCrew]

I'm in. For sure!

Also, if that pink comes back, I might be in for two... One for my better half, of course

(in the interest of full disclosure, got that idea from somewhere in the building stuff together sub, not sure who and I'm on my mobile right now, so I'm too lazy to look it up...)

Very possibly.

Filphil an yuktsi were the only ones to order pink and I'm pretty sure yuktsi never posted pics of his, filphil did post a very nice and well detailed build log of his.

Then probably filphil. He polished the brass insert and put some black paint in it to really make the engraving pop.

Yeap that's him. His brass plate looks gorgeous, it's a shame it won't be visible.

Could someone kindly provide the link to filphil's keyboard? I would love to see that beauty!

[whentheclouds]

a Jane numpad would be hella cool. do you also have plans to expand to non TKL layouts as well?

[Karura]

I noticed that a lot of TGR on the first run had a bit of anodizing differences between the top and bottom pieces.



Would there be any changes to the anodizing process to minimize these effects?

This is true, and it's still an issue that will at least be reduced, as mentioned in the OP.

- Anodize color variation

As much as I want a perfect anodize for CE, unfortunately it is not possible. What I can do is only to minimize the color variation.

mic 6 sample. To give you an idea, the above variation in color is not acceptable.

We have no options for stainless steel plate this round?

Ok, so it's time do decide which keyset would will pop out this ridiculously beautiful color. Any idea?  Hyperfuse and Skidata are in my head already.
