I almost forgot about this one

Halvar · 19 Jan 2016, 20:17

Hooray, mine came today!

Such an adorable little keyboard! So old and yet so new. And NOS white Alps aren't half bad I must say.

Thanks chzel!

gogusrl · 19 Jan 2016, 21:51

O.o, can't wait

Nuum · 19 Jan 2016, 22:17

Mine came in today as well! Thank you, chzel!

scottc · 19 Jan 2016, 22:44

Ooh, I didn't think they'd been sent yet. This is exciting!

andrewjoy · 19 Jan 2016, 22:55

you get my payment ok ? Is it on the way ?

chzel · 19 Jan 2016, 23:26

Hey guys, sorry for no updates, it's been quite busy the last couple of weeks, and getting the boxes to the post office on a motorcycle is an exercise in patience!
So far 3 "batches" have been sent, in total 16 packets. The rest hopefully should be going out by the end of the week.
I'm sorry for the delays, I hope the wait is worth it!

Andy your's was on the first batch, along with Halvar's and Nuum's, so it should be there any day now.

scottc · 19 Jan 2016, 23:41

Don't apologise chzel, you're doing us all a big favour! Has mine gone out yet, by any chance? I'm away next week and it would be really nice if it happened to arrive before I left.

shreebles · 20 Jan 2016, 10:32

While you're at it, I would love a status update as well. I am moving house and might need to tell my roommates to accept the package for me.

EDIT: Thanks

Khers · 20 Jan 2016, 19:03

Received mine today. What a cutie! Thanks, chzel!

zuglufttier · 21 Jan 2016, 13:39

Looks like mine has arrived, too. Not yet at home to unpack it... Thanks chzel!

Ludovician · 21 Jan 2016, 13:40

I'm going to assume mine is a week or more away. Looking forward to it.

chzel · 21 Jan 2016, 16:07

Ludovician your was on the first batch, but you are across the world...So a week or so is a good guestimate.

zuglufttier · 21 Jan 2016, 21:42

does anyone have an idea why the shift keys might not get registered under windows. yes, i'm typing on it right now... also, caps lock is not working and doesn't even light up while num lock, scroll lock etc. are working fine.

i'm using an at to ps/2 adapter...

Laser · 21 Jan 2016, 21:48

Did you reboot? Since PS/2 is not hot-plug.

zuglufttier · 21 Jan 2016, 21:59

I did. Other boards are working fine, even via AT plugged into PS/2 plugged into USB...

Ludovician · 21 Jan 2016, 22:04

Dead switches?

zuglufttier · 21 Jan 2016, 22:05

I doubt that left shift, right shift and caps lock are dead in a new keyboard

I guess it's some incompatibility somewhere...

Ray · 22 Jan 2016, 14:04

Mine arrived yesterday. Thanks chzel. It is freaky and I like it a lot.

Shinryuu · 22 Jan 2016, 14:09

I also got my keyboard today and thanks for arranging this group buy

Now I'll just have to get an adapter to actually type on this. Switches are actually quite nice.

EDIT1. I took a picture, it seems I have several small dents just in front of my space bar but they don't really bother me:

Ludovician · 25 Jan 2016, 00:44

Just received mine as well. It's pretty nice. Thanks, chzel

Blaise170 · 25 Jan 2016, 00:55

Btw, are these AT or XT?

Ludovician · 25 Jan 2016, 01:04

AT.

Also, uhh... damn.

The switches might have corroded somewhat after sitting all this time unused. Try pressing the dead switches a few dozen/hundred times and see if they start working.

Blaise170 · 25 Jan 2016, 03:20

Good to hear AT, bad to hear about the switches. Anyone know a good source of AT/PS2 converters for cheap? I have a Soarer AT/USB but I'd rather save it for XT boards.

Shinryuu · 25 Jan 2016, 21:30

I'm also trying to figure out why some of my keys aren't working but with multimeter I can see that electricity is coming through (..until it stops somewhere). I'm not sure does this have something to do with a firmware I'm on with my teensy clone though. I also tried to re-solder some switches and see if it does something but I was unable to make magic to happen. I guess it would be nice to share our experiences so we can try to find the culprit here. It might be just some corrosion what was mentioned in the previous post. I'm sure this can be fixed so I'm quite happy with my board

seebart · 25 Jan 2016, 21:53

Mine came in today looking good, thanks again for making this GB happen! Cheers.

For me it's both shift and control keys that are not working... Everything else came to life once I deactivated some custom key mappings

zuglufttier · 26 Jan 2016, 19:22

I can confirm that the switches themselves are working...

Sayso · 26 Jan 2016, 19:27

Hey,

I received mine today :

Thank a lot Chzel
