Well, this launched a while ago.
There are many
reasons I didn’t hype it up too much, or even make a GB
page.
We’re all going through a lot right now, and
there are so many more important things than keyboards.
I
didn’t feel right shilling super hard when people weren’t
even sure if they could keep their jobs.
So I put
something out that was manageable and fun–two special
versions:
my version of an “end game” dream machine,
and
a themed LE Rukia for lovers of space opera.
I also
made the PC version “unlimited,” so people don’t feel like
they have to compete to get and keep a slot, possibly
putting themselves in a difficult position due to FOMO.
I
also kept the cost at the round 1 $390, although
manufacturing cost quotes have gone up.
There are some
subtle differences this time around for the PC version.
The
PCB:
Made by Gondolindrim, in line with his open source
Mad Hatter project, the Rukia will feature a per-key RGB
USB-C PCB with underglow.
The top left 3-key cluster
can also accommodate regular switches as well as rotary
encoders.
Carbon fiber:
The new carbon fiber
plates will still have a 3k twill weave aesthetic top layer,
but the inner layers will now be unidirectional carbon fiber
to program flex and improve sound while still maintaining
the nice consistency carbon fiber is known for.
Weight:
No
longer a shiny, mirror PVD finish, the new weight is
sandblasted brass to match the available plates.
Hardware:
Hex
screws, white.
Where do I buy it?
https://mintautumn.com
How do I get updates?
Here. And Discord:
https://discordapp.com/invite/eJrjdtg
What does $390 get me?
PC top case
PC
bottom case
Sandblasted brass weight
Screws
PC
plate
Per-key RGB PCB with underglow and THREE rotary
encoder placement options (in the 3-key leftmost
cluster).
ONE rotary encoder (you can buy more if you
like)
ONE knob
How many 2u stabilizers do I need
to buy from my favorite keyboard vendor?
4 if you split
back space and split right shift
5 if you only split
either back space or right shift
6 if you use full
backspace and full right shift
What else is available
for pre-order on the site right now?
Brass plates.
Carbon
fiber plates.
Gift cards.
What will be available
for pre-order on the site later this week?
Aluminum
tops anodized in Lilac, Champagne, or Blue-Gray.
When
will aluminum tops be available for pre-order on the
site?
Later this week.
When will Gondolindrim’s
new per-key RGB USB-C PCBs with underglow, rotary encoders,
and Rukia/Mint Autumn branding be available for purchase on
the site?
When they’re ready. I really don’t mean to be
rude, I just don’t have an exact timeline. As soon as I know
they work as intended and won’t explode, I’ll list them for
sale.
If I already ordered a Rukia r3 kit, will I have
to pay extra shipping when I buy an aluminum top or extra
PCB as well?
Can they be shipped with my Rukia?
No,
you won’t have to pay extra shipping because yes, they can
be shipped together.
When you’re ready to make your
order, message me on Discord at jaxxstatic/#2116 or use the
contact form on mintautumn.com, and I will give you a
one-time use personal coupon for free shipping on those
items.
That’s the best way I’ve thought of doing it. If
there’s a better way, please let me know.
Will those
new items deliver the same time as the Rukia r3?
Yes.
Will
my Rukia parts fit in a TGR Alice?
Not with the new
USB-C PCB. If you use a USB-mini PCB from TGR, Team
Mechlovin’, or ProjectKeyboard, the PCB/plate/switches can
be dropped into either case with no problem.
Can the
Rukia fit both USB-C and USB-mini PCBs?
Yes //IF//
the USB is topmounted on the PCB.
Can the USB-mini
Wonderland PCB fit in the Rukia case?
Yes //WITH//
standoffs. Same for the TGR Alice. Maarten told me he fixed
the new version of the Wonderland, so be on the lookout for
that. Solid PCB.
How do I program the projectkeyboard
PCB that came with my Rukia round 1?
Download the new
firmware from here:
https://caniusevia.com/docs/download_firmware
It uses VIA now!!!!!!!!! YES!!!!!!
Use QMK
Toolbox to flash the new .BIN file. Download the newest
version of VIA, then enjoy instantaneous keymap tweaking
pleasure.
If I choose a carbon fiber or brass plate
option, does it come with a PC plate too?
Yes. You can
also choose a PC plate and add a cf/brass plate as an extra.
It’s the same thing/price.
Can you make me a full
aluminum version with the same exact profile as the TGR
Alice so I can use the wrist rest from Beamingrobot?
No.
The
GB was supposed to end on April 17th. How long is the GB
extended for?
Until May 3rd. The expected delivery date
is still Q3/Q4 2120 (I’ll make the order to the manu before
the end of the buy-in period).
Can I get a matching
aluminum bottom for the aluminum top I purchase, then buy
Beamingrobot’s Alice wrist rest? If I do, will the wrist
rest fit perfectly?
No. No.
Are you making a Rukia
wrist rest?
Yes. Working on it. But you can make your
own with files available in the Discord channel. There’s
also a member in the Discord who’s considered doing a GB run
of his own for them.
I’m working on two budget points
for wrist rests: beat-em-up-get-er-done &
OOF!Touchitwithgloves!
Both will be robust, though.
