Polycarb Austin Auction
To
celebrate the start of R2, I will be auctioning a 1 of 1
production polycarbonate Austin based on the R1 design. The
google form will open up on the 9th and
will close Monday morning (whenever I wake up) on the
11th. This polycarb case is the only one of
its kind since it was based on the production files from R1
and not the prototype. The case and weight will be sold
as-is since there are no extras to replace it. I have not
taken apart the case in order to reduce the risk of
stripping the threaded holes and will provide additional
fasteners if you choose to replace them. Invoice will be
sent via Square and payment will be required within 24
hours. If payment is not made, the case will go to the next
highest bidder.

Round 2 details:
Base kit
(includes brass plate, PCB, fasteners, bumpons) - $525
Extra

Extra Plate
(Limit 2) Polycarb or Carbon Fiber - $45 (Only compatible
with R2)
Available colors: E-White, Charcoal Gray,
Cabernet Red
US/CAN Buyers - US/CAN buyers will be able
to purchase on
https://www.driftmechanics.com. These orders will only be available for US/CAN buyers and
products will be available at 10AM CT on May 16th. There
will be 75 units, FCFS.
International Buyers - Anyone
outside of the US will be able to purchase through ilumkb (
https://www.ilumkb.com). A product page will be available the day before and a
google form will be in the description. GB starts at 3PM SGT
on May 16th. Hopefully this time should work for those in EU
and Asia. There will be 75 units, FCFS.
For those who
might not be able to join during the FCFS, there will be
extras available after the GB units are delivered.
Due
to the increase in the number of units for this round, the
GB is expected to complete in 5-6 months. However, delays
are always a possibility when it comes to GB. No
cancellations for GB orders. Please read the Group buy/pre
order terms and conditions.
Disclaimer on colors - Many
of you have asked about the Charcoal gray. The chip that was
provided to me doesnt seem to match the prototype received
by ilumkb so I will defer to his pictures for a more
accurate color representation of the Charcoal gray. There is
no guarantee that the production colors will be a 100% match
to the prototype but should be very close. The manufacturer
will generally match up to 90% of the pantone color and
because anodization happens in batches, it is possible that
not all grays or reds will turn out exactly the same. Please
understand that there can be a lot of variances when it
comes to which monitor you use to see the pictures or videos
as well. The goal for the Charcoal gray is to be darker than
the R1s gray but not as dark as black.
For more
information about the board, please check out

Note: Bumpons for the prototypes are just samples
from the factory. I plan to use black bumpons.

Post:
Hey everyone! I wanted to post this IC so that
people who aren’t in my discord are able to fill out the IC
form so that we can get a better idea of which colors and
plate materials we should offer this time around. Round 2
will be very similar to round 1. The main difference will be
the colors.
Please check out the GB thread and IC
thread for more information about the keyboard.

A great write up of the Austin Jshuf’s Build log
3/11/20 - Prototypes have been ordered. I’m hoping to receive them by the end of April and get the GB started in May if everything moves according to plan. Once protos are received, I will stream a build and provide one to a streamer to build as well to make sure everything looks good before moving forward with the GB. I’m also in talks with an asian vendor to provide more spots for r2.
4/7/20 - Protoypes are currently being polished and will start the finishing process soon. Probably a week or so left before they’ll be shipped out
4/19/20 - Prototypes are finished. Should be shipped out to me today or tomorrow
4/29/20 - Prototypes have been received. Quick stream on Friday to highlight differences between R1 and R2. More details about the GB will be announced this weekend.
