Face U/MX-mini U replica, acrylic/alu plate, KEEP ORDERING

[Doesntknowwhattosay]

Hi tinnie. Do you have any information in where my plates and PCB are? I think I paid in July or so and haven't gotten anything yet... Other people on Germany got theirs already.

[Xandr]

Mine arrived today. PCB looks fine, plates were slightly bent over the whole length which could have been caused by shipping, but that's easily fixed.

[ripudio]

Hey Tinnie- Are these actually still for sale? I'm interested in an aluminum plate if you have any left.

[quantalume]

I'll sell you my plate at a discount. It didn't arrive bent like most of the others, but it doesn't support ISO, so it's of no use to me.

[Nuum]

This has been asked by a few people now: Any news regarding the updated ISO-compatible plate, Tinnie?

[LechnerDE]

Hey Tinnie,

I sent you a PM 10 days ago, but no reply yet.

One PCB was missing from my order. Please get back to me how this situation can be solved.


Thanks!

[Scenz]

Hey Tinne,

do still have some plates and pcbs?

[MrMen]

Does anyone has news from Tinnie ?

[scottc]

He promised me a replacement PCB weeks ago but has ignored me since. Pretty poor form, if you ask me. He hasn't been on IRC either, from what I've seen.

[webwit]

He promised me replacements too. I hope I didn't piss him off - used some pretty strong language here and in private messages, for sending me damaged goods. But even if that is the case, he should handle other replacements.

[chzel]

Doesn't he live in HK? I am not really sure how things are there with all the protests and stuff.

[MrMen]

My question was more about the situation in HK and his situation. I hope we'll have some news soon.

[scottc]

Yeah, that's a good point. I hope all is well too.

[Nuum]

He was online on Geekhack today and made the last post on Geekhack on 23.09.2014, so I think he should be fine.

[DanielT]

At this moment there are a lot of problems with shipping from Mainland China to HK, huge delays. This and all the other issues in HK ...

[iAmAhab]

Would love a replacement plate, I can live with the missing components on the pcb as I could easily replace them, but I would like a ISO compatible plate as advertised.

[beltet]

I hope he is ok.

[Doesntknowwhattosay]

I still didn't receive my PCBs yet and tinnie hasn't responded in over a month...

[quantalume]

I don't know what to say, Doesntknowwhattosay. Should a mod at least remove the "KEEP ORDERING" from the thread title?

[t!ng]

I haven't built mine yet. Question:

Is it possible to program the CapsLock-Key as FN-key?

[HzFaq]

Should be, I can check when I get home but I can't see why it wouldn't.

[t!ng]

I would appreciate it.

Another question:

Why is nobody taking pictures of their Face U?

[HzFaq]

Too busy typing on it .

Mines back a few pages - here.

[DanielT]

I haven't built mine yet. Question:

Is it possible to program the CapsLock-Key as FN-key?

You can Check the Workshop area for the faceU thread, you have all the stuff you need there.

[HzFaq]

Confirmed t!ng, no problems with capslock as FN.

[t!ng]

Thank you!

My Face U is ready and i'm typing on it right now. There were some issues to get it work, but no big trouble at all. As matt3o already said: you get what you paid for! I think for example the Nerd 60 PCB costs almost twice, but the quality is much better. At least i think so, and the look is much more sturdy.

I used the right Shift & FN trick, and cut the aluminum plate because of using ISO with this build. I re-soldered two diodes, to get the "<>|" and "N" key working. In the end it was much fun, i learned a lot, and i'm happy with keyboard! I don't think that 60% is "my" size, but as always i have to wait and use it more. What bothers me right now is to use ISO DE instead of US Intl., which i used for about 3 months now, and i love US Intl. layout.

Here are some pictures of my build (with the "60$ 60% case from Pexon):

[beltet]

Wow it looks awesome. Glad you got it to work.
Just give 60% a little time. It will grow on you

Btw. Did you need to replace the diodes or was it enough with a little solder?

[DanielT]

Oh yes, give 60% some time, it's a worderful format
And I love skidata, I would build a 60% with ISO only for skidata
This PCB is decent for the price, NerD60 is at another level, the build quality is excellent but that is a premium product. I still have tu build my GON NerD60, I have all the parts, except the 50g springs. I learned a lot building the faceU boards, now I'm ready for Korean custom boards

My flatmate just noticed my FaceU. First he said 'Nice keyboard' and then half a minute later 'Wait, isn't there something missing on this keyboard?'

And I made a little pixel art for my FaceU:
