[GB] 75% Aluminum Case (Shipping)

[eddible]

Awesome, thanks!

[Petch]

Has production for the acrylic cases started?

Not yet until i finish the alum order. But dont worry too much, the acrylic version is much simpler to produce so it will be 1-1.5 week only

What's going on with carbon plate? Missing screw hole, no switch removal, and very thin here for some reason(?)

I probably would have asked to swap to the standard plate if we'd been updated as to the issues that came about with the carbon

Has mine shipped yet?

I have shipped out all the carbon order except Will_26 cause he need the switch. Now i'm continue with the alum plate order.
Please be patient

i was carbon and didn't get a tracking #

Please be patient :D

i was carbon and didn't get a tracking # :(

Tracking will be updated 1,2 days after shipping. And the plate problem, i'm really sorry about the compromise :(

[bdtbinh]

Due to weekend, i cant get the tracking number so i will update on Monday instead

Tracking numbers for all orders?

[eddible]

Any luck with those tracking numbers?
Edit: Just realised local time for you is like 9am, sorry!

[r5d]

And Monday came and went.. but no tracking.

[eddible]

I'm hoping mine just turns up today...

[Thumper_]

Just got my tracking

[Petch]

Mine too, though the Russian site wouldn't track it. "Sorry about your sending no data"

Nvm just got another email with TNT tracking that worked

[bdtbinh]

Just updated tracking for some, the rest please be patient, i'm still working hard on it

I just replied to mine as it doesn't work, could you send me the TNT number like Petch has?

Use that, but with your tracking number

That's what I used but doesn't work. It's cool, Bui just confirmed it doesn't work and is trying to get me the correct ref! Are you in the UK? Does the tracking suggest it'll arrive soon?

[Thumper_]

I'm in Germany and get 24 March

[eddible]

I'm in Germany and get 24 March

Ace, thanks!

[Petch]

Yep 24th for UK too

[onlinelife]

Anyone from west coast Canada/US receive their tracking yet?

[skimzor]

Anyone from west coast Canada/US receive their tracking yet?

I'm in California and no tracking here

[bdtbinh]

My shipper is currently off for a few days due to his personal stuff so new tracking will be delayed too.
If you wonder why i dont ship directly through company service, that because i have a friend who work there and he can provide better price for the GB and also tax thing can be avoided
 

[Thumper_]

GF just accepted the package

[Petch]

House mate is probably going to be as useless as ever and sleep through the delivery 

[Thumper_]

**** yeah

[eddible]

Awesome! Mine is out for delivery...

[Thumper_]

Above 2 kg. Something like 2.3-2.5

[r5d]

Still nothing here.. no number, no package.

[bdtbinh]

Only carbon plates orders have shipped, alum plate orders please wait 

[eddible]

Oh you've got to be kidding me... I've got my board, and the plate is NOT ISO compatible. The cutout next to the ISO return is too small to accept the # key and the cutout for the left shift is too small to take the 1.25 shift+1u key. This is really unacceptable... how was this not tested?!

I've put a normal sized shift on the left when I realised, only noticed the other cutout when popping in the last switch. Fortunately nothing is soldered yet.

[eddible]

Photos here showing what I mean.

Same for mine.. I'll try to sand it down.

[eddible]

Okay I just took a dremel to the plate and can now fit the switch. Have to say, I'm really unhappy at having to do this to a board that cost so much.

[eddible]

Despite my complaints, this is stunning:

[Thumper_]

Oh my God , that looks gorgeous.
I'm still inserting Holtite sockets - had to cook in the meantime

[Petch]

Plate is a huge disappointment, I don't rally have any way of modifying it besides buying some sandpaper (which I shouldn't have to do in the first place for a $45 plate!)

my 4 key wont do anything. Its Row 5 Colum 5, does anyone know how to bridge it?

Take a look at the black resistors (they're rectangular). Loads of mine had zero solder on the bottom of them. You could visually see they weren't done and those keys didn't work. Touch of solder and they all worked fine.

Thank you!

[eddible]

Great, glad it worked! It was like that for 10+ of mine so was a little nervous at first!

Well, if its that much i would think about a flaw/something missing on the pcb.
But with 1 i thought about a lifted pad or a flawed trace

guys what firmware and keymap do I want? I have split backspace, can't get it to work. Tried a different firmware now half my keys don't work

Ok, some of my keys aren't working - possibly my bad soldering. Which bit is the resistor, the little rectangle or the tiny one?

One  that doesn't get highlighted in the bootmapper is my split backspace; not sure if I need the _split firmware for this to work or bad soldering somewhere?

I'm not sure about the split backspace. But in regard to my other comment, it is the black ones that were missing some solder.

You'll need the split firmware if I remember a build last year correctly.

[Petch]

Half my keys stopped working with the split firmware (toggled bootmapper and pressed keys to see if they highlighted cells in the matrix)

[Petch]

Ok, it was all the resistors lacking solder. One still won't work, the right alt, and I'm 100% sure it isn't my switch. There was actually solder on this one, but I redid it, still nothing. .

rgb underlighting doesn't seem to work at all

pressing set keyboard in the bootmapper returns HID error, indicating a hardware fault

[Unforgivable]

All the PCB issues are very concerning..

[Petch]

Yeah I dunno what to do besides try replace the diode, which I'd have to send it off to someone else for because I'm not good enough to remove the current one

[Thumper_]

If you wan to, i can do it. But I'm in German, so shipping back and forth might be to expensive and takes a longer time.

Thanks for the offer, I'll see if anyone from UK can do it first just for the shipping costs and less likely to be damaged in shipping
