In this February update, we will be going over the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>5Q Hardware Progress<\/li>\n<li>Q Software Progress<\/li>\n<li>5Q Accessories<\/li>\n<li>New\u00a0Side Inscriptions on 5Q Function Keys<\/li>\n<li>Updating Your Shipping Address<\/li>\n<li>Das Keyboard Team News<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h1 id=\"h:5q-hardware-progress\">5Q Hardware Progress<\/h1>\n<p>On the HW product side we\u2019re in the calm before the storm\u2026 That means production processes are being tested and verified with little tweaks being implemented to make sure volume production (the storm) is as smooth as possible.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re adjusting things like the size and shape of the LED pcb mounting pads, validating the operation of the onboard production test SW, and completing production fixtures for things like keycap seating (with a defined and even pressure). A couple other adjustments are being made on the level of doping (mold compound additive) in the keycap inscription plastic to insure maximum light transmission while still producing a good non-backlit inscription on the keycap surface. And we\u2019re beginning the formal regulatory certification testing.<\/p>\n<p>All in all we&#8217;re pretty much on track for this \u201cpre-production\u201d phase of product development.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1 id=\"h:q-software-progress\">Q Software Progress<\/h1>\n<p>The software team is working hard to complete the firmware and the desktop software whose job is to configure the 5Q keyboard. Plenty of code that works and plenty that is still in flux.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the moving parts:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Q cloud<\/li>\n<li>Q desktop + service<\/li>\n<li>Q firmware<\/li>\n<li>Q Android<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Besides implementing features such as RGB effects and macros, one of the key functionality we are working on is a continuous release system. For example, we want to be able to release Q cloud several times a day if needed. Of course, we will have longer cycles for the desktop apps. So far, the release system for Q cloud and Q Android are working very well. Our focus now is to complete it for Q desktop, its service, and the Q firmware.<\/p>\n<p>Another big piece we are working on is the interface of the Q desktop app with the physical keyboard via the software service. A working demo was used to do our demos at CES in Las Vegas. Now we are heads down, writing its final implementation. We&#8217;ll release some betas as soon as we are ready.<\/p>\n<p>March will be the month when we put all the moving parts together. An exciting time is ahead.<\/p>\n<p>In other news, we also sent out another reminder invitation this month to our Early Access Q Software backers about joining our private beta. The email contains details about how to enter our early software, connect with Zapier and IFTTT services, and join our Q forum community.<\/p>\n<p>If you have any questions regarding access or have not received an email, please let us know via our help desk: <a href=\"https:\/\/daskeyboard.mojohelpdesk.com\/mytickets\/create\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/daskeyboard.mojohelpdesk.com\/mytickets\/create<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"template asset\" contenteditable=\"false\" data-id=\"15586262\">\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"fit\" src=\"https:\/\/ksr-ugc.imgix.net\/assets\/015\/586\/262\/317300cea44ba6a93b80be384c13536e_original.png?w=639&amp;fit=max&amp;v=1487690365&amp;auto=format&amp;lossless=true&amp;s=df088c8050e097f3e21220e6a717526a\" alt=\"Snapshot of our early access Q software email.\" \/><figcaption>Snapshot of our early access Q software email.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>5Q Accessories &#8211; Gamma Zulu Keycap Set Box<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Many backers are also receiving an extra set of keycaps.
