Round 2 of the BananaSplit60 is live at: https://thevankeyboards.com/

Update: 9/2/17
I wanted to address a couple things regarding this round. Firstly I can’t say this enough but thank you all for your amazing support. Not only have you made this round extremely successful but you guys have been providing us with critical information that we will use to make round 2 even better. **Secondly there has been a small issue with the C3 capacitor interfering with case placement, I personally have not encountered this issue, but I would still like to address it. Please carefully place your pcb into the case if you feel like it’s not properly aligning carefully move it around until it slots in.**Thirdly we have been getting sent pictures of plates that seem to be warped, I think the root of the problem lies with how I designed the bottom right row hole and the two side screw holes. Although the plates are rigid these holes can caused warping issues during the finishing process.
If a replacement is needed please contact evan at the thevankeyboards@gmail.com we will be more than happy to accommodate you, we want everyone to have a positive experience with this group buy :D
This leads me to the general fixes we will be doing with round 2, we still have yet to announce features. Stayed tuned for those ;)
PCB:
-Fix smd issue near mounting points.
-Shorten side lengths for looser case tolerances.
Plate:
-Fix warping issues by removing the side gaps on the side screw holes.
-Potentially add stabilizing bars on the bottom right switch row hole.
We have so much planned for round 2 and we are planning to announce it as one big update. Round 2 will be released at the end of October.
TheVan Keyboards in partnership with Arhipio is proud to bring you the BananaSplit60 keyboard kit.
