Test the keymat!


I probably would have snagged a couple of those stickers for myself. I assume that is why they are in there?
Probably true. I find the stickers interesting, but where I'm not into stickers I'll send them on. I added one of my wrist straps to the kit.

@Grench, I think I will wait until you get your prototype and check the stylus slot again before I look for parts to modify or build another RHS. Additional length would be great (i just want it confirmed), but if there is any wiggle room I would want to make it thicker too.
Where the stylus holder clip wasn't in the keymat test kit, it's hard to say how much room is there. Changing the length in 5mm increments is doable. However, 5mm OD standoffs are relatively easy to find. I'm not sure where I/you/we would be able to find 5.5mm or 6mm OD standoffs. Something could be custom milled, but the price for the parts would skyrocket.
 
Still no address to ship the package off to.

@EvilDragon - at your leisure Sir.
Hmm, you could just PM Mecksg1 and ask for his address, he's the next in line. I'm just going to PM him my address as soon as he gets it.

The thing is if I don't get it before the 21st then I can't try it out, I'm leaving and won't be back for around 18 months as I'm going on a bike tour. I'm starting to get a little worried.
 
You're both in the US, yeah? Shipping shouldn't change that much to re-arrange things. Grench could send it to you first and you send it on to Mecksg1.
 
I don't want to jump in line though, I think Grench should PM Mecksg1 and get his address. I would rather have ED do other things than worry about sending addresses though, I think since we have the list we can work it out.

EDIT: I got Grench and Mecksg1 in a private conversation so we'll figure it out.

im good with that. since he is going on that trip, i have some class stuff to finish up so if i get it after him im good
 
hehe, almost wanted to snag a place in line a few days ago to "move things along". nice work, team :).

maybe ED's taking a Grecian vacation?

You live in California, you would probably be one of the last as I think it is moving east to west so you should ask ED soon, I don't know if it leaves the US or not.

EDIT: Ok, so Mecksg1 I assume lives in the US but Neelix lives in Melbourne, Australia so it does in fact leave the US. Might want to ask Mecksg1 and xrandr where they live. I think Mecksg1 lives east of me but I bet xrandr lives west of me so I'd message xandr and ask where he lives, maybe he lives near you and you can meet up or maybe he can send it to you before it leaves the US.

This is the remainder of the list unless ED has added people:

second.exodous - US
Mecksg1 - ? - most likely US as he's was between me and Grench
xrandr - ?
Neelix - Australia
Kolbász - Europe

Not sure why people are so secretive of where they live but you better message xrandr and ask where he is from so if he isn't in the US you can be injected before it leaves the US.

I should ask to be put on the list just to disrupt everything and move it back east. :p

It kinda sucks that it might make it back to ED before the next step toward mass production.
 
Sorry for the delay - horrible amount of work right now
I'll try to send you all the details today.

i'm not in california anymore... but anyway, i'm more excited for the real deal, but i'm glad you guys have been taking pictures and making impressions!
 
Checking the mail morning and night, when it is cool to ride my bike, not here yet :(

The good news is I finished my gopro-on-a-lamp rig thing for a few reviews so I'll be doing a video on the case. It might be my first, my first might be a video of my fixing my mic and if I get around to reviewing my 3rd party gopro charger before the package gets here then it will be after that also. Hopefully it gets here before I leave, I officially leave the 21st or 22nd, fingers crossed!
 
Yeah, I hope. The US postal service has been painfully slow here before. I'm in the middle of nowhere right now. If it doesn't get here until next week I'm fine, I can do the video in one take, no editing.
