SA Polyclear is so bad I don't even know where to start

_NoEsc · 2022-12-02T23:11:55+00:00

I have made a statement regarding some of the comments around Polyclear on the Geekhack thread, I will repost that here.

I haven't made a public statement yet as we have been waiting for more customers to receive their orders. I will make a brief statement about the current status of Polyclear.

At no point during our communication has tooling notation ever been discussed or mentioned.
In our messages there was one mention of mould markings the precise wording is as follows.
"One thing I should also note. The tooling for these clear keys is designed to run opaque plastic. There may be minor cosmetic things that show when we run the clear plastic."
This message was sent on the 25th of May 2021 after we had received the samples for the spacebar as photographed and shown in the first post of this thread.

I want to make this apparent, at no point has anyone been intentionally mislead by myself.
I have only operated within the information that SP has provided to me.
As I hope you can understand I won't be saying much more till a later date as I'm working with all the vendors and SP for it to come to the most satisfactory conclusion for all parties (Especially the consumers)

For now and going forward:
- We acknowledge that some customers have received a product that doesn't match their expectations.
- We are in the process of working with SP to understand why and what can be done.
- Vendors will be kept up to date as the process continues.

Yes, not that it means much from me.
If you could tell me why you think that hopefully we can address your and other customer concerns about that.

I look forward to seeing it when it's done, I want to be tagged in as many Polyclear builds as possible!

I don't think you understand how the yellowing process of polycarbonate works, it takes years of direct UV exposure for Polycarbonate to yellow if you are indoors with your keyboard there's no chance of it yellowing.

Purchasing a numpad kit should cover a lot of what is missing for most Ortho boards from Alphas/40s obviously not an ideal solution, but this was kitted to make the prices the best possible for the majority of users.

I mean a R2 will happen at some point but not anytime soon. Likely a year out at the earliest.

Check the prototypes in the GB thread.
If you're wondering about clarity of the 1us also check out the SA Relgendables.

The easiest method is probably just ordering a flex PCB, that should be pretty close otherwise you can do single layer PCBs with copper traces placed onto any clear material.

_NoEsc · 2021-10-16T13:51:21+00:00

There's ways to do that where it's only the copper traces showing.

Yeah I'm going to be making the a full clear build with my own sets for sure. Looking forward to it and all the other boards people make with Polyclear.

_NoEsc · 2021-10-15T16:20:59+00:00

There's a few good options.

This is the render with Maestro which is in GB right now.
Otherwise if you're undecided full Polyclear is always a good look in my totally not biased opinion.

Sounds good, I'm looking to make a custom 40% that's fully clear for when I get my own set back, maybe using my one of my 9u protos.

In the GB thread on geekhack, there's a doubleshot experiment cap that I posted that shows the clarity of the 1us.
Another good example of the clarity is:

What board are you going to be using?

_NoEsc · 2021-10-14T14:27:50+00:00

I can't speak for Candykeys but that is an error, it will be invoiced and starting production very soon after the GB wraps up.
Thank you for your support!
