[GB] YAS62 | Shipped 100% (EXTRAS AVAILABLE)

[ChitownM2]

Craaaaap.

I just found this thread after getting into MK's recently.  This layout is like my perfect dream keyboard atm - 60% with a split spacebar

Is there going to be another GB sometime after this one? 

Or alternatively, if anyone gets their PCB and decides they don't want it, let me know - I'll be happy to buy it

Good luck with your boards guys!

I bought two of these pcb and may be willing to sell one of them with my split space plate. Kind of tempted by the banana split board and likely won't need two 60% split space worth arrow clusters. Hit me up when this starts shipping and I will have decided by then which one I want to go with.

What's your priority ? split spacebar or arrow cluster? if it's just split spacebar 60% you can check banana split because in YAS62 you will find blocked corner on both side which there's people who don't like it.

And for R2? sure i will make it again but it will come with mx/alps PCB and less bottom layout configuration. But i will do R2 after i'm done with my project case.

It's probably going to have more layouts that you'd be interested in.  The guy has had it in interest check a long time, but is a fantastic GB runner - did an Alps plate run in like 2-3 weeks from signup to delivery...

Banana split has a good branding and more people involved in the IC, but I think YAS is overall a better PCB. With banana split, there is a single spacebar configuration, while the YAS has something like 6 layouts just for the spacebar. Plus, manufacturing is managed in Korea by a reputable long-time member of the MK community. Silent said he originally started his design in response to the banana before they added their arrow cluster, but decided to keep it going bc the banana was also missing the "/ ?" key.
Depends on which layout you're looking for and whether you can get used to a remapped question mark.
Split spacebar layout is becoming more popular these days so if you can wait, I'm sure there will be similar designs coming out that will suit what you're looking for. There are also a few non-custom prebuilt boards out there if you search.

Hopefully, Silent can do R2 YAS. This is a great next-gen layout that doesn't compromise the classic elements of 60%, and I think it should be in everyone's hands. If the IC phase was longer and PCB had better brand image, I'm sure more people would have joined the GB.

I'm not trying to disrespect Silent here, I just meant if the other individual wants their keyboard faster, it's likely the Banana Split will hit GB and arrive at their doorstep before R2 YAS.

I didnt mean for my post to seem hostile, sorry for the misunderstanding. I was just clarifying details from your previous post and passing on some helpful info.
Both PCBs have excellent design and quality, and are also unique enough to appeal to different preferences.

Any word on a case in the works? If not I might have to start looking at some (time flies when you're having fun )

Been eyeing the 60% alu lambo cases...

I'm not sure my project case will be faster. You can look another 60% case for not wait to long

[ChitownM2]

so I'm pretty new to mechanical boards and this will be my first build other than my whitefox and I'd like to figure out how to program it before it arrives.

Will this pcb use tmk? And if so, is there a good beginner tutorial somewhere for a person with no programming experience?

No, all leeku PCB use jigon firmware and it come with GUI so it will be easy for beginner without programming experience

I hope i can start prototyping after NL-Bullet case plank go to anodize session. Because i will use same factory as NL-bullet use.

Any update on production and such?

[yasintahir]

Hi guys...
Long time no update. Leeku got PCB sample yesterday so he will assembled it to test how it works.
After it done production will be begin again. Sorry for this long time 

Thanks!

[ChitownM2]

Little late to be asking now, but is the pcb going to be pre soldered or do we need to source or own diodes and controller?

I just assumed all along it was pre soldered but I don't think it actually says one way or the other. The prototype pcb doesn't look to be though which is why I was wondering.

Not in the GB, but that case design looks wicked! Really stands out from the rectangular blocks we usually see.

[ChitownM2]

Any updates on how three pcb build went?

Still expecting to ship this month?

Not possible to ship this month.
Leeku said to me he still working with last sample for firmware and anything else to be sure all work well.
And he said he will ship to me late july.
Sorry for this another delay i hope this is last time we get delay.

Thanks!

[C7Kinetic]

Unfortunate to hear about the delay. But at least that gives me more time to gather parts for the build.

How are things going with the plate manufacturing?

Haha no I'm not blaming you at all. Of course you want it to quickly 

No one said buying more keyboards was a bad thing... 

[ChitownM2]

The delay is unfortunate, but I'd rather have it be prefect and late than buggy but on time. That said, once this arrives I'll be ready to assemble it since I have all the other parts now.

[Dystopia]

Would this fit into https://www.massdrop.com/buy/npkc-60-wooden-keyboard-case?mode=guest_open? Thinking of getting that but this is the only 60% I own (or am going to own) right now.

It should work since the YAS is supposed to be universal 60% mount and the case is the same.

That's not a low profile case so your going to have "holes" at the bottom corners.

Hello guys!
Look what i got from leeku


Here's full album http://imgur.com/a/rhy3D

Looks good. I assume everything is good to go then and pcb production can move forward?

Yep just trivial mistake like missing 6,25 stab hole and 6u switch hole

looks really good!
can you tell the dimensions of the PCB? I'm designing a custom case and I'd like to avoid wasting space. With the exact dimensions I could make it a perfect fit and have the case ready before the PCB arrives.

[ppp]

On the note of cases, for anyone who doesn't have a case in mind or wants to upgrade to a sick 60% case, there's an IC for this keyboard: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=90046.0

The OP says that there will be the option to buy the pieces separately and that there will be an option for different-sized blockers! You guys should hit it up if you're interested

Can we get an update about the production? Did it start?

I still don't get pcb file from leeku.
So i use plate dimension from swillkb to do my project case currently

Not yet, still fixing last missing hole PCB.
Should be start on first july.

then i assume it has the same dimensions like most other 60% PCBs. GH60 for example is 285x94.5mm - i'll plan with that.

Yes same as another 60% board for dimensions size and hole position

It's an acrylic bottom, translucent to help diffuse underglow

Thanks! The steel plates were cut by Lasergist and the acrylic layers were cut by Ponoko.

Ah ic...
I thought that was polycarbonate because it will be help out to diffuse underglow very well.
But it's hard to find polycarbonate here
