Not a Problem at All  Sir!  As You see in the photo. There is a hint : slits.... so..  we had prepared for that on the left side.

Thinking of some of the data entry I do, it would be easier to use the ten key with my left hand and keep my right hand on the mouse...or I think it would anyways!

Lots of trials and Error in our keyboard history.  I am interested too.  Left Num Pad or Function column, or anything. 

So I'd like to show it soon ; Both OK for Left and Right! - PCB.  and...  A Versatile Single Case !

....

At this Moment, I want to tell My Design Concept Officially.        (Oct.29 )   http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=49899.0 (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=49899.0) 

100% Interchangeable,   100% Interoperable,   100% Mix n Match !

All 60% will do.  All 75% will do.  All 87% and 100% will do.

All Poly models will  'Mix n Match' with Metallic models.  As They Share All the Basic Designs.  ....

So What?   What We want all through This??    =  Maximum Free Joy of Typing !     IMHO

I did some data entry before and actually found myself doing a lot more right hand tenkey and left hand keyboard shortcuts, no use of the mouse at all.  I just couldn't keep my speed up left handed like I could right handed.  But this is off topic.  Those boards look awesome.  I want all of the, but I think my wallet will only allow one, maybe two 60% boards.  Here's hoping the Alps board doesn't come for another couple of months.

Hi guys,

I'm confused: is this pcb indeed compatible with alps switches ?
The pictures suggest that Alps switches will fit, but the rows will be positioned a bit lower on the board, is that correct ?

Normally a PCB group buy would require also: a microcontroller (the Teensy 2.0 is popular around here)
SMD soldering, or through-hole diodes ... one per switch -- except here that will be done already
switches -- yes, you'll need to source, then solder the Cherry MX switches yourself (be creative! Have the home row keys be green then switch to Dark Gray for the Function row, with Whites everywhere else. Or, you know, don't. Just use browns, like all the other unimaginative folks here*)
keycaps -- this is the part your fingers actually hit, and if you're not using blanks, this is the part that has 'legends' ... IE, letters or other symbols. If you have blanks, this is the part your coworkers will stare at and say "How do you tell what letters you're typing?!?"

HTH,
      the alaskan malamute.

Edit: You'll wish for a case, too. Mind you you'd have a working keyboard once the microcontroller has been filled with suitable firmware ... but it really isn't a keyboard until the PCB has a home.
Spirit happens to be running a GB for acrylic cases that will match these PCBs! What luck!

edit2: you might wish for a plate. It would sit between the switches and the PCB, so you'll really need to decide about that before you solder anything. It will also affect which switches you buy, since the housing is slightly different between the two forms -- PCB mount, or plate mount.

*: oh crap please don't do this. Not unless you know what I just said and actually want to do that.

He has mentioned plates. I think the last time I looked it was a little unclear if he'd be expanding his case GB to also offer plates, or if he was going to start another GB for just the plates that would match his acrylic cases.

There are periodically other places to get plates too, but it's not often a 'store item' so you sorta have to go with the GBs. Although for the 60%, GON (of GONskeyboardworks fame) has an anodized aluminum plate that's Poker compatible. $40, IIRC.

Last nite  I was utterly exhausted...  I should have answered this Ultimum Question !  Alas!
Different resistors for different foreword voltages. Every color requires a different voltage and therefor will require a different amount of resistance. It's also worth noting that not all LEDs are made with the same foreword voltage from one company to the next i.e blue LEDs from company A may require different resistance than blue LEDs from company B.

I'd like some clarifications on this as well.
Cause I've applied some leds on my Poker 2. The red leds is relatively dimmer than the rest on full brightness.
Would this be an issue for this pcb as well ?
Not that I'd the dimness matters since I won't be putting leds on the whole board. :D

*All PCBs are  1.6T Thick PCB, ANSI+ISO, All and All ! SMDs are Factory pre-soldered, the latest Firmware and KeyMap loaded and Tested.
  100% Red Alert! Ready for the Full Functionality. 
Excellent!

Now I've made it no secret I'm disappointed with the KMAC's programming (some options, like toggle function keys is listed as an option, but doesnt' actually work)  and I'm worried about other upcoming PCB programming. I like how this comes with a working firmware preinstalled (very good for testing!) but I'm interested to know how to reprogram it? I'm okay with updating a file, recompiling firmware (As long as you tell me what libraries I'll need) or using a GUI, I just want it to be possible to reprogram and support for features.

Thanks for bringing us these excellent designs!

I notice some features are listed on the website
http://winkeyless.kr/entry/ps2avrU

PS/2 and USB, and it sues the capslock LED to tell you information about it. Nice!
you can choose which one by holding P or U at plug in. Nice!
Support for several LED modes and brightness control. Essential!
Sleep mode for power saving on USB. Thoughtful!
Three layers. Enough for me!

But I don't know korean:

Dimmer is fine. Problems will occur when too much voltage is fed to an LED. This will cause them to burn out. The PCB should be fine. Also every LED has its own resistor, so multi-colored boards require a different resistor for each switch with a different color. If you want uniform brightness for all your colors, you will need to do the calculations and ensure that your resistors are supplying each LED with the proper voltage they are designed for.

If you want uniform brightness for all your colors, you will need to do the calculations and ensure that your resistors are supplying each LED with the proper voltage they are designed for.

LEDs are (basically) constant voltage devices. They burn out when too much current flows through them.

Multi colored boards require a different resistor for LED's of a different forward voltage drop (Vf). If you look for LEDs online you will see many have the same or similar Vf's. Some LEDs are white and tinted to get the desired colour.

Uniform brightness calculations are somewhat more difficult than that, as you have to look up the datasheet for each different LED, then calculate a resistance value so it outputs the same amount of lm as the others. Then you need to find a resistor close enough to that ideal value that it'll look the same. Since they are different coulours, you can be off by quite a bit and it'll still look good (probably 10-20% or so, depending if you are examining perceived intensity or absolute brightness, since the eyes operate on a logarithmic scale)

Just wanted to clear some stuff up before anyone got the wrong idea.

I want to run the values I calculated by people here to make sure they make sense.
Quote
all keyboards should work fine with 1500 ohm resistors
Example red LED Vf 1.5V
Example blue LED Vf 3.2V
The entire matrix is to be kept under 300 mA and 1500 mW to leave 200 mA or 1000 mW for the controller (just a guess)

Resistor value (1500 ohm)
Compatible PCBs (110%, TKL, 75%, 660%)
Red LED current (2.5 mA)
Blue LED current (1.3 mA)

Red total power (1417.5 mW) for 110%


Resistor value (1200 Ohm)
Compatible PCBs (TKL, 75%, 60%)
Red LED current (3 mA)
Blue LED Current (1.5 mA)

Red total power (1331 mW) for 80%


Resistor Value (1000 Ohm)
Compatible PCBs (75%, 60%)
Red LED current (3.6 mA)
Blue LED Current (2 mA)

Red total power (1377 mW) for 75%
---
Note, the above assumes the controller will need 200 mA (or 1000 mW) to work. This is just a guess.

Do these numbers look right?

also:

Are the metal plates aluminium or steel? I prefer steel (very solid), but I know some people like to anodyze their aluminium plates.

Note, the above assumes the controller will need 200 mA (or 1000 mW) to work. This is just a guess.

Alaricljs taught me to aim for 3.0mA for LEDs and to never exceed 3.4mA to be safe. He gave me this handy link to make the calculations a breeze.
www.ledcalc.com
My hope is that this will help some people out who want to customize these PCBs or get into building custom backlit keyboards who have little to no experience in electronics. I used this for my LZGH.

The link will require you to fill in the following fields:

- Supply voltage = 5v (? See Note below)
- Voltage drop across = Each LED has a foreword voltage range that you can find in the item description on eBay etc. Use the lower end of the range to start with. 
- Desired current = 3.0mA - 3.4mA
Number of LEDs connected = 1 (Since they are all fed individually)

When you hit calculate it will provide you with the nearest higher rated resistor. This is what you will need to buy. It will also show you the circuits total current consumption which should be close to what you entered as your desired current. (3.0mA - 3.4mA) This is for bright LEDs within a safe operating range. 3.4mA being brighter than 3.0mA of course.

NOTE: One thing I don't know is if all keyboards provide the same supply voltage. My LZGH was 5v. Are they all different? Can anyone answer this for me?

Anyway, playing around with this LED calculator should give you specific resistor values for all your keyboard building needs!

I hope this isn't derailing this thread too much. It is relevant after all.

I am also wondering about reprogramming.  What controller does it use?  Is firmware open source?

I have been hoping for another GH60 group buy.  Should I pull the trigger on this one instead?  What are the cons of this compared to GH60?

Hm, that would mean USB is realized w/ a V-USB (http://www.obdev.at/products/vusb/index.html) type stack since the Mega32A lacks a USB module (AFAIK. The Z-diodes in the parts list point to that too.) Certainly workable, would prefer an on-chip USB module tho (full speed, less load on the MCU.)

I want to run the values I calculated by people here to make sure they make sense.
Quote
all keyboards should work fine with 1500 ohm resistors
Example red LED Vf 1.5V
Example blue LED Vf 3.2V
The entire matrix is to be kept under 300 mA and 1500 mW to leave 200 mA or 1000 mW for the controller (just a guess)

Resistor value (1500 ohm)
Compatible PCBs (110%, TKL, 75%, 660%)
Red LED current (2.5 mA)
Blue LED current (1.3 mA)

Red total power (1417.5 mW) for 110%


Resistor value (1200 Ohm)
Compatible PCBs (TKL, 75%, 60%)
Red LED current (3 mA)
Blue LED Current (1.5 mA)

Red total power (1331 mW) for 80%


Resistor Value (1000 Ohm)
Compatible PCBs (75%, 60%)
Red LED current (3.6 mA)
Blue LED Current (2 mA)

Red total power (1377 mW) for 75%
---
Note, the above assumes the controller will need 200 mA (or 1000 mW) to work. This is just a guess.

Alaricljs taught me to aim for 3.0mA for LEDs and to never exceed 3.4mA to be safe. He gave me this handy link to make the calculations a breeze.
www.ledcalc.com
My hope is that this will help some people out who want to customize these PCBs or get into building custom backlit keyboards who have little to no experience in electronics. I used this for my LZGH.

The link will require you to fill in the following fields:

- Supply voltage = 5v (? See Note below)
- Voltage drop across = Each LED has a foreword voltage range that you can find in the item description on eBay etc. Use the lower end of the range to start with. 
- Desired current = 3.0mA - 3.4mA
Number of LEDs connected = 1 (Since they are all fed individually)

When you hit calculate it will provide you with the nearest higher rated resistor. This is what you will need to buy. It will also show you the circuits total current consumption which should be close to what you entered as your desired current. (3.0mA - 3.4mA) This is for bright LEDs within a safe operating range. 3.4mA being brighter than 3.0mA of course.

NOTE: One thing I don't know is if all keyboards provide the same supply voltage. My LZGH was 5v. Are they all different? Can anyone answer this for me?

Anyway, playing around with this LED calculator should give you specific resistor values for all your keyboard building needs!

I hope this isn't derailing this thread too much. It is relevant after all.
I think you misunderstand the issue, sir. Alaric knows his stuff, but he was quoting safe values for an 87 key keyboard or smaller. If you run 108 LED's to 3.4 mA (even 3 mA) you will draw 324 mA just from that. Now it might work on a fullsize keyboard, but it only leaves 150 mA or so for the controller. As I said, I dont know what sort of current the controller will need, so I wanted to leave it at a safe  200 mA +

As far as LED calculators, of the 8 or so I've tried, I prefer linear's led wizard ( http://led.linear1.org/led.wiz ) for simple calculations like this one (ledcalc is not bad, just well suited to other sorts of led arrays. TG3 does a similar thing on the BL82, by stringing their led's into strings of two with a resistor)

Almost all modern LED's can operate safely at a much higher current than 3.4 mA. As long as you keep it under 10 mA you will most likely be safe and not burn the LED out (many are rated for 18 mA or more).

As far as supply voltage, I've yet to encounter a keyboard that doesn't use 5V, though I only have so many keyboards with LEDs. 5V is a good value, as it's readily available from USB / PS/2 and it's low enough that small resistance values are needed for current limiting.

I was able to find the following on winkeyless's page on the A87uEX
Quote
1. 키의 수가 많아졌으므로 Full LED를 PS/2에 연결하여 사용할 경우 텐키리스의 경우보다 저항값을 높혀주는 것이 안전 할 것으로 생각합니다.

하얀색/보라색 : 820 ->약1K
빨간색/노란색 : 1.3K -> 약1.6K
파란색/초록색 : 900 -> 약1.1K
Quote
1. The greater the number of keys Full LED jyeoteumeuro the PS / 2 when connected to the tenki nophyeo resistance values ​​than in the case of leases that are thought to be safe.

White / Purple: 820 -> approximately 1K
Red / yellow: 1.3K -> approximately 1.6K
Blue / Green: 900 -> approximately 1.1K
From: http://winkeyless.kr/80

If a GH'er more knowledgeable in Korean than google translate would like to contribute a better translation, it would help understanding. I notice that his value for red  (1.3k-1.6k) is similar to my estimate of 1500

For a 1.5v LED, a resistor of 1.3K will result in 2.693 mA through each diode. Now looking at the blog, I see 111 key (matrix tenkey) and 108 key layouts. Taking the 111 key as a "safe" example, that will result in almost exactly 300 mA taken by the LED array (leaving 200 mA for the controller)

It also looks like you can wire up the numlock key on the tenkey separately (as a true numlock key) or as just another LED in the array, though it may require a jumper.
---
So I thought A87 boards were not assembled but with the MCU installed. I am just fine soldering the rest of the components myself. Are we getting everything soldered (even the LEDs) Maybe it's better to not have the LED resistors soldered, or maybe instead to produce a few different boards for people with different LED configurations. 1500 ohms should work for all LEDs regardless, but if I want mine to be as bright as possible with white or blue LEDs I will need to desolder some resistors and replace with lower value ones.

Finally: sprit you're awesome! Thanks for all the excellent work you're doing to get this group'buy to happen! I'll do what I can to support you.

I'd like to summarize and show the simplest way, after our further discussions here.

Mr. Dorkvader suggested Two kinds of  PCB Versions :  All Parts 100% Pre-soldered  /  Only Controller parts and diodes pre-soldered.
I would follow You Guys Opinions as much as possible.

High Quality Resistors and diodes might be provided for anyone need it for free.

Excellent!

Now I've made it no secret I'm disappointed with the KMAC's programming (some options, like toggle function keys is listed as an option, but doesnt' actually work)  and I'm worried about other upcoming PCB programming. I like how this comes with a working firmware preinstalled (very good for testing!) but I'm interested to know how to reprogram it? I'm okay with updating a file, recompiling firmware (As long as you tell me what libraries I'll need) or using a GUI, I just want it to be possible to reprogram and support for features.

Thanks for bringing us these excellent designs!

I notice some features are listed on the website
http://winkeyless.kr/entry/ps2avrU (http://winkeyless.kr/entry/ps2avrU)

PS/2 and USB, and it sues the capslock LED to tell you information about it. Nice!
you can choose which one by holding P or U at plug in. Nice!
Support for several LED modes and brightness control. Essential!
Sleep mode for power saving on USB. Thoughtful!
Three layers. Enough for me!

That's super awesome, thanks for clearing that up. Extra keys+programmable=killer.

But why don't you take a picture, even just with a phone?

The OP could be a lot clearer, why don't you remove all of the case images? Just have a few PCB shots and a link to the case thread to keep things clean.

People are excited about the PCB alone, the OP is very messy and long. The case / plate thread should be completely separate so that people can understand what is going on.

just signed up for the full board (110%) version
will consider adding one more pcb when i see the metal case.

btw, i think i missed out or got confused on what the color of pcb will be?
thanks again sprit

a few quick questions:

do you recommend adding plate to this? and does metal plate comes in different colors as well?

acrylic plates are all transparent? and what do they feel like compare to a metal plate?

Personally I love the white pcb with a clear acrylic case but considering if I'm getting a steel plate then it'll cover up the color of the pcb....

And yes I do have both PCB mount and plate mount switches ready for this keyboard~

Thanks!

Fatal Question !   You got My Heart!    :thumb:

Yes!  Metal plate comes in different colors!    Spamming Colors....   
                   All Plate have Colors,  Acryls have Transparent Colors too.

I recommend Both for No plate, or Adding plate to this   : 

                  PCB is well considered for the Lovers of Soft Key Feeling.   For the Plate Lovers too.   I am really on both side.

Acryl Feels basically Softer than Alu plates, but depend on its thickness.  
                  I am a Fan of PolyAcryl, PolyCarbon too!  (And Alu, Stainless Steal, Steal...  The Strong Materials.)

so....do you have any polycarbon cases available for this as well? or right now the acryl is the only choice...

Because from what I heard, Acryl cases are kinda fragile and easy to break...and I do plan to travel with this keyboard very often...

You don't have them, right? Are they not out of the factory yet? Why don't you just say so?
110% board, where's the 110% picture?
You keep spamming links and lambos, be so kind to spam some real pics. Thank you.
Discussions about cases and plates in the PCB thread, but not about the PCBs....

This is how a pcb groupbuy should look like at least when it's not produced yet, it's only natural:

They're hardly stock photos if they're photos of the actual product, admittedly they might not be the latest revision but you're making the OP out to be a scam artist. He hasn't even asked for payments yet and you're jumping all over him like a rabid dog.

Again, read the thread.. it's simple really and not that long.

This GB is about some "special edition pcb's", i asked sprit whether he was already in possession of the items which he said he was - so naturally i ask him for a picture. That's it. You think that's stretching it? Man, you are some obedient customers.
So it's absurd to ask for an up to date pic for a multiple-thousand dollar GB? i'm baffled.

Btw, winkeyless.kr isn't his site.

p.s: that's why i put stock photos in quotes, he just took some random pics from winkeyless.

-  Cutting-Edge Technology Design and QC  by THE CREATOR  of A.87 and MX-mini,   The FATHER of Korean Custom PCBs.

-  He is the Famous Independent PCB Designer, Mr. BeastMask  From Korea since 2005.

-  The Creator himself developed the top-of-the-line :  A.87  A.87 ps2avr,   MX-mini W,  60% Face W,    A.87 W  TKL

-  ANSI + ISO in one PCB. (concept design by sprit  in GH  for ISO users)
-  USB and PS2 Auto-detect.  3rd generation.  Open Source based.

-  Designer's Page :  http://winkeyless.kr/71

No "I" in there, i'm just reading.. not claiming anything.

   Gentleman!

IF anyone curious about these PCBs , I'd like say

1.  Read the Each IC links carefully  for Yourself = It's Confusing but one thing might be clear,  Very New PCBs ...

2.  the One Final sample PCB is at designer's hand, the other is in the factory now, still adding some new mods including firmwares, before the Production start.   http://winkeyless.kr/31 (http://winkeyless.kr/31)   http://winkeyless.kr/76 (http://winkeyless.kr/76)

3.  You can refer the Designer's Page, If there is anything further to find out.   http://winkeyless.kr/67 (http://winkeyless.kr/67)    http://winkeyless.kr/66 (http://winkeyless.kr/66)         

4. If there some questions remains,  you can wait till 1st Production and pics next week.

Why Not now?  = We will get Some Surprises, for me and for some of us.

Thanks My Fellow GH Guys!   I love You so Much!    :'(

So that's why ... I am hiding the Last Pics of PCBs,  Now I am just doing the Final Touch.
Sorry for some inconveniences!   :(   :-*   

Very old prototype Pic.

Thanks for paying attention to this matter, sprit. I just don't understand why you're playing hard to catch so much.. you could have just put it in the OP.

Surprises i want from my girlfriend! In a GB i want to know what i will be paying in advance for.

Edit: As usual your links reveal nothing new, it's just a smokescreen.

Hope you understand that you're asked specific questions, as gb organizer you're asking a lot of trust from the community.
Also it's not only you doing us a favor, 1st: you probably make some money from this and 2nd: through us your project will come to life and spread to kb fans.. so i think it's kinda mutual.

I just hope you will deliver pics/material before you start collecting money.

You have some misunderstandings  on my Project,  My Jmneuv   :-*

1.  We are waiting the MOQ now.

2.  I want collect money as late as possible!   =   to get move from  PCB v1.2 to v1.3 in between.

3.  I don't need any Investment from the outer world. 

4.  You'd better wait the 2nd wave of GB.  :)

No one is forcing you to buy anything. As sprit said above, maybe you just want to sit this one out, eh? Otherwise, let's cool it with the constant badgering the OP for pics, etc., okay?

keep your pants on, brother. when its time to pay and there is no pics or you are not satisfied with anything, then just don't buy it. get a KMAC or something, those have tons of pics for your pleasure before paying.

Btw, winkeyless.kr isn't his site.

p.s: that's why i put stock photos in quotes, he just took some random pics from winkeyless.

Hum....  It's The designer Mr.BeastMask's site and  He is my Friend. As I put on IC 

http://www1.kbdmania.net/xe/market_info/7508028 (http://www1.kbdmania.net/xe/market_info/7508028)  Its U version (ANSI Only)

I asked him the supporting holes in June, July, Sept, Oct, and it's name should be 괴수-sprit Holes. 

[attach=1]   
Everybody knows that in KBDmania.   
Oct.18, We met up at my home and having dinner and made Agreement to provide ANSI+ISO New version with the Latest Firmware and some major mods, for GH
I announced this in Korea. http://www1.kbdmania.net/xe/photo/7577370 (http://www1.kbdmania.net/xe/photo/7577370)

Anyway
I did advised you, My Friend ; Read IC carefully.
This is quite a messy GB,  but I wish we get some good things in the messy mud. Actually We want a Big One! 

The IC Started on Oct.19,    This Topic Started on Nov.06.   Is This a slow, lazy move?
I'm usually a messy man.  ;)

This is a GB  Reservation for MOQ check.  To Set the Production Schedule with the Factories.

Making a PCB needs a good Quantity, ie  MOQ.

I have confidence in sprit, one thing I would suggest is maybe work with some other member who's native language is Engligh to express the official stuff of the GB better, such as a proper Google Form, structured and clutter-free OP.

You have to understand that like you many other members are not native English speakers and when your broken English is read by such members, things can sound quite different, not trying to be rude, but just giving a suggestion.

And people, we need more 75% and full-size PCB orders! :D

*scratches head* I still am new to all this... but what's a 110%?

If I learned correctly (from reading a lot of stuff here at GH) 60% is a keyboard without F-Keys and everything 'right of the return key' (num pad, arrows, and so on). Add some more keys to get to 70%, 75% and so on and you will eventually reach 100%.

So 110% adds what keys?

Anyways, I'm in for a 60%. :)

I will be getting a 75% as well, I need to enter it still though...

Edit:
I am going to be in for 1x60% and 1x75% PCBs.  I am also in for 1x87% Plates.  I will wait for the plate option to open to enter it into the spread sheet.

@Sprit:  If the PCBs reach their MOQ before the Plates do, will the PCBs go into production without waiting for the Plates to reach MOQ?  If I order both PCBs and Plates, can my order be held until the Plates go to production so I only pay shipping once?

Thank you for doing this.  These are looking beautiful and we really appreciate all the hard work you have put into this.  Great job...

Forgive me for being really new to this, but someone pointed out this group buy to me and I'm trying to comprehend everything because it looks like it's what I'm looking for. The language barrier is making it a bit harder. If I'm understanding everything correctly;

60% PCB in whatever color you pick = $50
Metal plate will be available = $35
Metal cases will be available = still 2 weeks away
Correct?

Do we have pictures of the metal cases? Will any other cases work?
Same with the plates, will any other plate work or only the one you'll be selling?
If I've got the PCB, plate, and case what else do I need? Just the switches and key caps?
And I'd have to solder the switches or get someone to do it for me?
Info on how you program it?

@Sprit:  If the PCBs reach their MOQ before the Plates do, will the PCBs go into production without waiting for the Plates to reach MOQ?  If I order both PCBs and Plates, can my order be held until the Plates go to production so I only pay shipping once?

Thank you for doing this.  These are looking beautiful and we really appreciate all the hard work you have put into this.  Great job...

Do You see  60%  in G80-9009 ??   

I do see it! what a clean looking PCB back then.  ;D

Actually, the G80-9009 reminds me of this Korean custom!: What's the name of it again? :p

Not really interested in cases, is this likely to affect the original deadline or will the PCB's still be shipping in around a month?

I don't get it...which form are we supposed to use to order? Or we still in IC phase?

Use the link above your post to join the metal case IC. TO join the GB for PCB's, use the link below and add your order directly to the spreadsheet (along with any comments, etc)
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AptJLSV1Tq7wdFI4ZjcwN3VYcFFvVW1IbDdVc2R1Smc&usp=sharing

With this, and the case GB, it's a little different, as a batch will be ordered every time it hits MOQ (50). Once that happens, the payment form will be available, where you can list your address, finalize your order (colours, etc), as well as pay, etc.

And since this isn't my GB, sprit has the say in how things will work, so if it's different than what I have written, it's because I didn't read well enough or don;t understand exactly either.

Sprit, it appears that you have worked with many types of LEDs from all of the backlit boards you have on youtube.  I am wondering if you use Diffused or Clear leds on your keyboards.  If you have a preference, are there reasons you prefer them?

This GB is some strange and different?


1. Started by me with some Ideas, and some Open source PCB guys.

2. I am in charge of all the project.  Blame me all. 

3. I am doing the Design and Patents Jobs in Korea to Protect my designs from the others.

4. I've been updating the PCBs and Cases, and the YouTube Movies.  I posted them as much as possible. as you seen in my updates.

5. Why am I doing this? :  I want to unite all the private custom practices into a quite open source based standard, as the Porker 60% showed us.

6. The Results? : You can easily get any compatible PCB, change it's SW functions, and put into any compatible case, as the Poker 60% compatibles showed us.

7. Why No Final Pics yet?   :  The PCB have been evolved even since this GB started, the firmwares updated, fixed, more ideas to improve its functionality. PCB Patterns are modified and refined.   

8.  Why the MOQ matters?  :  The PCB production under 20 pcs is too expensive as we know. Over 50 pcs, it's quite OK, to put all the Color options and SMDs pre-solderd, and some other options.

9.  When the payment opens, In a week, We will get New PCBs!

yea this form is not really working out...all the fields are required to enter...

I'm only buying one plate but it requires me to put the color of all kind of plates in...and so are the comment sections. Then when I hit enter it doesn't let me enter because since I chose 4 different plate colors, it requires me to enter to buy 4 PCBs....

Well, I only want to buy 1 PCB and 1 plate...but I cannot fill my form right now....yea that's a problem I guess...

I did my best to replicate the shopping cart style experience Ctrl Alt Store has put together without having to write a custom Rails app (hat tip codyeatworld)

If there's any feedback I'll do my best to incorporate it. It's till long but hopefully more straightforward.

the choices for the 110% plates are for 87% plates instead.

I PM'd Sprit an alternate form suggestion I created but they either missed it or haven't had a chance to look yet.

The form is here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1F30QWBuQNi9O7u1j3eG3RYtOlmIq-LuxLB1kp8PoT0s/viewform?usp=sharing

This form seems much easier to grasp than the original... is it possible to not order one of each plate in the original?

Should there be a field for GH username?

still holding off until official mention of the ALPs PCB. I'm thinking I probably want a 75% too but I'm holding off on that for other reasons. Also, I only want to order once.

Unless you are looking for uncommon switches like whites, they are usually less than that.

Sprit's price of $45 for 90 switches is a good deal, similar to MK's listing of clears.

The Maximum thickness for MX is 5mm.    In this GB,


1. Acryl Plate : 5mm (5T) thick :  In My Opinion :  Strong and Soft, Rigid enough ...
2. PolyCarbon : 1.6mm thick :  In My Opinion : quite Strong and flexible, ... 
3. Alu Metal  :  1.6mm thick :  In My Opinion : Noisy, Not Strong enough, we know its pros and cons.   
4. Alu Metal  :   4mm + 1mm PolyAcryl  : In My Opinion :   Armour itself.

I have a question Sprit. How does a multi colour LED fit in a MX switch? Or does it go somewhere else?

Same as Normal LEDs.

I think im going to go for the 87. I have never made one of these before but I think it will be fun! I hope this isnt too crazy haha I was initially going to get a 60 as well but I think I should try 1 first then decide if I want to make another at a later date if you have another GB. :D or maybe ill get both... not sure lol

Sprit, I have a question about the plates.  In some of the previous comments you have mentioned that the plates are 'like the phantom', which I understood to include cutouts so the switch tops can be removed.

None of the plates I have seen you link images to have cutouts for the switches to be removed.  I would like to verify that the plates have cutouts so the switch tops can be removed without having to desolder from the PCB.

Thanks...

Any way you can split the cherry mx switches to 45 qty? I only need a few reds for modifiers and clear for the rest :(

Also, are cherry mx switches plate mount or pcb mount?

Thanks for organizing this :D

4mm plates sounds really thick.  Is anyone getting those as well?  What's the difference between PolyAcry and PolyCarb?  I know they are different materials, but has anyone used both?

Edit: Ordered!


http://www1.kbdmania.net/xe/freeboard/7302594 (http://www1.kbdmania.net/xe/freeboard/7302594)


The Maximum thickness for MX is 5mm.    In this GB,


1. Acryl Plate : 5mm (5T) thick :  In My Opinion :  Strong and Soft, Rigid enough ...
2. PolyCarbon : 1.6mm thick :  In My Opinion : quite Strong and flexible, ... 
3. Alu Metal  :  1.6mm thick :  In My Opinion : Noisy, Not Strong enough, we know its pros and cons.   
4. Alu Metal  :   4mm + 1mm PolyAcryl  : In My Opinion :   Armour itself. 


Oops, after reading your post, I've changed my mind in which plate to order...
And I'm thinking about ordering a few more switches.

How do I change my order please?

I'm guessing it's the H looking thing that would be put on top of the plate/pcb to seperate the arrows and cluster from the left side of the board. Black because it would be same material is the outer edges.

Very sorry if this is a stupid question...
I might be new here but I already came to apreciate the insane amount of work behind this.

I'm guessing it's the H looking thing that would be put on top of the plate/pcb to seperate the arrows and cluster from the left side of the board. Black because it would be same material is the outer edges.

edit: wo I put the text into the wrong area. How to forum

With another bar between the function and cluster.

Don't quote me on this though. It's just what I imagined when he described it.

Okay, now I understand completely. However, what I want is to have a clear middle acryllic layer.
So it would be something like this:
1st layer (top): Black
2nd layer (middle) : Clear
3rd layer (bottom: Black

Is this possible with this GB? If so, which parts do I order in the form?

Edit: Basically, I want something like this with clear instead of red (http://i.imgur.com/ZKvJdko.jpg)

Okay, maybe I'm missing it somewhere, but are the plates universal to support ANSI and ISO at the same time, or do we have to specify the layout in the order somewhere, Sprit?

No Worries at All !   I will specify that and I will ask You some days later !! before the factory productions!

I'm curious about the plates. Do you have any photos of those?

Also, it appears that each plate has a different thickness. I'm not an expert when it comes to this, so I'm asking out of ignorance, but having a variance of 1.6mm - 5mm seems pretty wide. Am I wrong?

Good Morning Sir!   ;)      The Very Details will show  as I proceed the Production. 

The 4mm thick Plate Usually Good for me,   Sometimes  5mm Thick Plate  Good, depends on the MX Switch's Spring, Kind of SW. Keycaps,  Etc...

4mm + 1mm Silicon(or, PolyProphylene) is another Good Combo, as We see in our Shoes.  

I will Supply for Free,  and Show You Guys Soon.  Promise!    :)    :)

Hi sprit or anyone who is kind enough to help a noob (I have never build a custom keyboard before).  Sorry I have a lot of questions.

I want to get a TKL ansi 1.25 regular QFR layout with ergo clear switches.


MX  Custom Springs     55g /  60g / 65g / 68g / 70g   :    110pcs = 8 USD     

* What spring should I get for ergo-clear feel? Or do I have to get red/brown springs separately?

* Where can I get the tool to open up the cherry switches to mod the spring and lube?


Dupont    KryTox  104 Oil        20g bottle =  18 USD

* This 20g oil will be enough for building 1~2 TKL keyboards?


PolyAcrylic  5mm 15 USD
PolyCarbon 4mm CNC 35USD
Alu Metal 1.6mm CNC 35 USD
 Alu 4mm CNC 40USD. 

* This is the most confusing part, as I only have QFR cherry and I have never opened it up.

Besides the feel (hard plate vs flex), will the different thickness make the keycap lower or higher than normal?

What would be an ideal plate to get for people who always bottom out. (and what would feel similar to filco or QFR?)



* To build this keyboard myself,  besides ordering everything from the form, I still need stabilizer, inserts, keycaps. That's it right?

Since the resistors and controller are soldered on, I just need to get a soldering iron to solder the clear switches onto the PCB/plate?


* Someone asked earlier in this thread but no one answers his question, if one were to get the LED as well, would it make it impossible to change the switches later on without desoldering?


* Also the aluminum case will be available after this group-by and ship separately?

I'd go all out and get the aluminum case instead of getting the plastic case if possible.

Thanks.

* Where can I get the tool to open up the cherry switches to mod the spring and lube?   a Clip!  check Topics


Dupont    KryTox  104 Oil        20g bottle =  18 USD 

* This 20g oil will be enough for building 1~2 TKL keyboards?    1g is OK for 1 TKL keyboard

 Alu 4mm CNC 40USD. 

* This is the most confusing part, as I only have QFR cherry and I have never opened it up.

Besides the feel (hard plate vs flex), will the different thickness make the keycap lower or higher than normal?  Not at all,

* To build this keyboard myself,  besides ordering everything from the form, I still need stabilizer, inserts, keycaps. That's it right?   stabilizer, inserts will Offered

Since the resistors and controller are soldered on, I just need to get a soldering iron to solder the clear switches onto the PCB/plate? 100% Yes


* Someone asked earlier in this thread but no one answers his question, if one were to get the LED as well, would it make it impossible to change the switches later on without desoldering?   I will Show a TIP for LED Soldering


* Also the aluminum case will be available after this group-by and ship separately?   Alu Case will come soon  in this GB, or ship Separately for it's Heavy.

I'd go all out and get the aluminum case instead of getting the plastic case if possible.  Why Metal?  to Get Physical?

Thanks.

Hello, just a few questions.

Do the PCBs have LEDs on them as default, or will I need to get some High Brights/MultiColors? Do they come with resistors?
Will you have pictures of the metal cases before the order deadline for the PCBs?
Would it be alright to mix and match switches for the 90/110 pieces? eg: 20 black + 70 red

Thanks.

I have a couple of things I was a bit curious about if you don't mind answering Sprit (or anyone else for that matter!).

1. How important is it to have a plate? So far I haven't ordered any plate to save money - but reading this thread makes me uncertain.

2. Is it possible to change the key bindings by flashing the controller directly?

Thanks!

OP says "Phantom Style Plates" and the pictures of PCB are 110% and 87%. And there was another form nuclearsandwich created on page 9, trying to make the order form more clear, which does not have an option for 60% plate. Plus, the order form in OP only says plate but no option for plate size. I could be totally wrong. I am so confused.

I would disregard any forms made by anyone other than the OP.

Also if you order a 60% PCB and a plate then you will get a 60% plate, or so I would assume.

Didn't realize I let the suggested form be open for responses. It was just meant to be a suggestion for Sprit on how to clean up the original form and the current one does incorporate my suggestions.

I'm PMing the individuals who put themselves on my form and I've (theoretically) closed it for responses. Apologies for generating confusion in the pursuit of simplicity.

Sorry for asking again but I am thinking of ordering tonight but I just wanted to know how much you think shipping for a 60% pcb and plate to the US would be?

Also, what is the difference between the 1.6mm aluminum plate and the 4mm aluminum plate?

Thanks  :)

About 2.4mm by the look of it.

(I'll be here all week, folks!)

Spirit I'd be curious if you've weighed the two aluminum plates ... I'm thinking specifically for 60% but a comparison of any of them would be fine ... the thickness is 2-1/2x more, so is the weight pretty close to that much more, too? or does it work out that it's more, or less than that?

Thanks for your patience in putting up with all these endless questions from the forumites; I know it must get old but think of how famous the FaceW keyboard could be in twenty years  :cool:

If SW Spring is Under 65g,  I Recommend Acryl 5mm Plate, 

If You enjoy the Strong, Power-Typing,  I 'd Recommend  Dura-Alu 4mm Plate !!

Last question, for the 4mm thick one, since it is an aluminum and acrylic layer do I just tell what color I want each layer in the comments of the order form? I want the aluminum and acrylic layers to both be lime green, that is possible right?

Thanks for all the help, that is the last question I have :)

Won't acrylic still flex?

4mm plates sounds really thick.  Is anyone getting those as well?  What's the difference between PolyAcry and PolyCarb?  I know they are different materials, but has anyone used both?

Edit: Ordered!

The Maximum thickness for MX is 5mm.    In this GB,


1. Acryl Plate : 5mm (5T) thick :  In My Opinion :  Strong and Soft, Rigid enough ...
2. PolyCarbon : 1.6mm thick :  In My Opinion : quite Strong and flexible, ... 
3. Alu Metal  :  1.6mm thick :  In My Opinion : Noisy, Not Strong enough, we know its pros and cons.   
4. Alu Metal  :   4mm + 1mm PolyAcryl  : In My Opinion :   Armour itself.

Based on the pictures on that link it looks like the ALU sits on top while the acrylic layer is on the bottom between the aluminum and pcb.

Yeah, looks like that. I was hoping that it might have been the other way around. That would allow for some really interesting color combinations.

Having typed on both, I will say that PCB mount keyboard flex is pretty nice on a lot of keyboards.

I think the thin flexible polymer plates help to preserve this.

Remember: keyboarding is very subjective: the thickest / strongest is not always the bestest.

Pretty new to the PCB / Plate scene.

But I'm assuming the most 87% and 110% layout cases would fit right? Such as a DK9008G2?

Sprit, do you have anymore pictures of the 110% and 87% PCB, with the various plate options?

EDIT: Sprit, what's ETA for batch 2? Would MOQ still apply for Batch 2?

EDIT 2: Sprit, cancel my order for now. Will wait for batch 2 so I can make up my mind on all your awesome options!

I love the cherry stabs on my mx blacks but I do not like them on reds (they make reds feel heavier while on the blacks they don't even feel like they are on it)and I have heard they are mushy on clicky switches. I am going to throw clears on this board so I am actually happy about cherry stabs. :)

Hi Sprit,

I hate to even ask, as I'm sure you're already doing a lot of work, but...
I just paid my invoice, but I'd like to switch my switches to clear instead of brown if possible.

If that's too much hassle, I can just put in a second order for the clears :)  Thanks! :thumb:

I have a question regarding your springs. How much difference is there between your 55g springs and the stock MX Brown springs? Do the 55g springs weigh just a little bit more?

Sprit,

I have a question regarding your springs. How much difference is there between your 55g springs and the stock MX Brown springs? Do the 55g springs weigh just a little bit more?

To The Cherry Standard,  I call MX Brown as 55g, Blue 60g, Black 65~75g, Clear 70~90g ?.  100g is heavier than MX Clear.

AS All the Instruments and facilities are different, I amt Trying to get the Quality as the Cherry Original, and a little bit Beyoned.

Sprit,

I got my invoice for my 2 cases but when I went to pay my invoice and paypal had this warning on top of the payment page: "This recipient is currently unable to receive money." -- so I guess I'm waiting til that gets fixed.

I just found out that we are suppose to specify case finishes, so I edited my existing form to specify a "matte" finish. Let me know if it'd be easier for you if I instead submitted a new form.

Also, waiting for your paypal account to clear up so I can pay :)

So i get the impression that this is a hybrid case (acrlic/metal)? Is the body part acrylic too or just the inside?

Does the cases in the picture have the top layer as metal and a bottom layer as acrylic?

Nothing, I'm just asking weather you shouldered the initial cost of the production of the PCBs because you didn't get to have all of the payments yet (for example mine).

Or I'm just wrong and it's still not in production?

From the old, closed thread.. still waiting for your reply:

I took another look at the 3 invoices:

#1231 - 87% Acryl case
#1232 - 87% Acryl case: Clear/Frosty/Clear
#1247 - 75% Acryl case

So it looks like #1232 & #1247 are the correct invoices.

Please verify the following, and I will pay the invoices:

#1232 - 87% Acryl case: Clear/Frosty/Clear --- Please Verify that this is for a Filco compatible case. The colors are correct.
#1247 - 75% Acryl case --- Please verify that the colors for this case are Frosty/Clear/Frosty

Let me know when you've looked into these 2 invoices. If everything looks good, I'll pay you immediately. Thanks!

Im not sure if this is the right place to ask so Im sorry in advanced LOL but I have some questions.

Im confused on how the case is suppose to look. Will it look like whats in this? http://deskthority.net/marketplace-f11/acrylic-case-for-filco-tenkeyless-keyboard-t1804.html
(http://deskthority.net/resources/image/2447)
(http://deskthority.net/resources/image/2453)
With the top part being covered as shown in the pictures above?

And then how would I install this case? Is there a guide online somewhere? Do I just take off the casing of my keyboard and place the plate or pcb or whatever into the acrylic case?

Hi Sprit, I know you're busy, but can you take a look above? I'll be getting quite a bit of PCB & Cases, ( 3-4 PCB, and 4-5 plates ) as well as cases. So it would be awesome if you can answer these questions prior to the invoice sent out. So I can just give you a final decision!!!

Also will the stabilizers be included, or would that be a separate group buy. What about round 3 for cases?

was just wondering about it since what i understand is that 2nd batch will start when it reaches it's MOQ? so it will be slower compared to first batch.

Either production has already started for the first round or the entire first round will be delayed so sprit can process payments. If you met MOQ in round 1 you're probably fine.

For the 1st Batch (Order),  I did put my own extra orders to meet each MOQ. 

  
The 2nd week Orders give more for the Total MOQ.   
 
All MOQ for PCBs are OK!    No Problem at All!       Thanks to KeyBoard Goddess !     
 
Please, Give some Time to process all !   


Who buggs me Extreamly too much, will be excluded from the Next Order.   

I am not a saint at all.   Sorry!

Hi Sprit, I know you're busy, but can you take a look above? I'll be getting quite a bit of PCB & Cases, ( 3-4 PCB, and 4-5 plates ) as well as cases. So it would be awesome if you can answer these questions prior to the invoice sent out. So I can just give you a final decision!!!

Also will the stabilizers be included, or would that be a separate group buy. What about round 3 for cases?

Hello!  Good Morning !  1 min plz!

Your Order is :
PCB  87%   3   
PCB  110 %  1
Case  110%  1
and some others     All  Identified and well saved  to Google and My Storages.    :)


Sent you PM =)

Thank you for the hard work Sprit, awesome stuff. I really wish there was just more picture or examples of the cases, so I can solidify my decision. WAYY TOO MANY CHOICES~!

I hope I'm not one of those people!!! Really want to make sure I make the right decisions, I'm the type of person that prefers to shop right, and at one shop, instead of sourcing with a variety of different shops, so I hope you understand SPRiT!!

Again, thank you for all the help! Can't wait!

You're going to be waiting a at least a few more days. Take a look at the last few pages of the the thread. Sprit's working out paypal issues at the moment so no invoices will be sent out and no outstanding invoices can be paid until that's sorted.

Know a patience.

SWEET!!!  Thanks for opening it up again for tonight.  I added the 60% PCB as well as an 87% plate (from what I understand it has cutouts for switch top removal and is Filco TKL compatible).  I also got some 65g springs because, well, I want to see what they are like...

Edit: To be combined with my previous order of a 75% PCB...  :P

Thanks again Sprit.  You are a rock star and we really appreciate all your hard work on this.

Tell me about it. I have a google doc tracking my group buy. I'm way over my head on this. Nearly $200 on caps, and close to $1200 on Sprit alone.....

Oh well, can always liquidate these boards if I end up not needing them =) It seems as if the things on geekhack retains value more so than other things in life.

Is this true that the 87% plate is Filco TKL compatible? My understanding is that it's phantom compatible and doesn't have the cutout for the Filco controller to fit through.

No one can pay.  He is working on it. It has been mentioned many times now. Leave the poor guy alone on this. No one will be getting these for Christmas, that's not realistic.

.....  No one will be getting these for Christmas, that's not realistic.

PCB + Acryl cases will start shipping before 14th.  I think No Probelm at all!  (I am focusing On This!)

MeTal Cases will be ordered, manufactured,  hopely start some shipping  before 25th. :)  (I hate Metals!)

Hey Sprit! just wondering if you received my PCB and plate yet...only got invoiced on my acryl case so far.

It's a white 60% PCB with silver thin alu plate.

Don't worry though I'm not rushing you, just wondering if you got it or not, if not I'll go send in another order.

I know you're working on this but still have to make sure ;)

Hi Sprit,

Just wondering if you had the time to look at the form yet or not. Very anxious to see if there's anything you would suggest I changing. Also, is the Frosty Acrylic "Matte"? What about rounding of the acrylic case? Not sure how "safe" the sharp edges would be  :p

Hi Sprit, Yes, I did indeed get that message. However, I was under the assumption that you were going to take a look at the order and see if there's any suggestion you have, as you mentioned a few posts ago.

If that's not the case that is fine, just anxious for everything to come together!

Also, will the stabs be included in this group buy or would we have to wait?

Does anyone know what kind of stabilizers this will use? Are they PCB Mount? Thanks!

Hello!     :)

All PCB support PCB/Plate Mount! 

Metal Plates support Plate Mount Only,  PolyAcryl support PCB mount Only!   

(for the Materials and CNC Machining Reasons)

Do you mean that who are going to use a metal plate has to use only Cherry Plate Mount stabilizers?
Who is selling Cherry Plate Mount stabilizers?

Hey Sprit,
I want to try to clarify the process for everyone in an effort to reduce the amount of questions you have to answer and make everyone more comfortable with how things are going.

I am assuming the following is true, please correct me if I am wrong about anything...

- If you need to modify your current order, you need resubmit an order form.  I think you can either just specify the changes and add comments to specify that they are changes, or you can specify everything that you want to order and specify that the new order replaces all of the other orders you have done.  This is not entirely clear, but I believe both options are fine.
- Once you have submitted/edited your order, wait until you are invoiced to ask if he has your order correct.  If your invoice is unclear or wrong, when you get invoiced, then follow up with Sprit to clarify your order.
- A lot of people have not gotten their invoices yet.  This is normal.  Sprit will start sending invoices again at some point next week.  He is trying to educate PayPal about how GBs work.  Probably not trivial to do.  :)

Sprit has put his own money on the line to keep this GB on schedule, so please be patient...

So now that it's getting closer and closer to the point of no return, I'm starting to have second thoughts about my color choices for the case.

Right now I have these:

1) White PCB, GunMetal plate, 110% with Frosted-White-Frosted

2) White PCB Frosted Plate, 110% with Frosted-Orange-Frosted. This will most likely have the Whitecap + orange legend key cap set

3) White PCB Frosted plate, 87% with Frost-Blue-Green. Now I'm deciding changing this to Blue-Frost-Green but not sure how that will look.

4) Black PCB, Black plate 87%, with Frost-Black-Frost. I want this to be more of a B&W / Full black board for when I'm gaming. Not sure if I want to go Clear-Black-Frost or stick with Frost-*-Frost.

Not sure if I should stick to my original plan as I have 4 combos of just Frost-color-Frost/Color. I mean I might be happy with it, since I'm assuming the Frosted acrylic is just well, frosted acrylic. Sort of semi-matte that is clear/frosted

I'm a guy that likes simple elegant designs, and I generally like B&W contrasts. I'm just not sure how single tone + Accented colors by the means of keycaps and/or LEDs will look.

Preorder means nothing, it just means that he can expect that he will get enough cases for moq! So you can change your mind as much as you want! :)

Yes! Definitely!  I Love GH Phantom Plates!   :)     so east to open the switch w/o desoldering.


Metal cases
 
For the Metal cases, I have several Designs and Ideas.
Sure, I have my own preferences, but I am trying to respect What the Others want.
So I am donging the Pre-Check, trying to listen You Guys' Opinions!

For This Sprit Model 1 Season GB,  I'd like to show 2~3 Metal designs. 
They are now Fixd according to The Pre-Check, and the samples are under machining Now. 
As I told You, I am focusing on the Producton of 1st wave of this GB, So the 2nd wave of this GB = ie, the Metal case will start in the Next Week.
The Metal case will be very Heavy as we know,  so It will be shipped Independently with a heavy duty packing.

The Alps GB
   
The Alps GB has been delayed, because I am sampling the New production of Alps compatilble SW in Taiwan and Hongkong.
The  long discontinued Original ALps SW was one of the Main Barriers to do Alps Custom, in my opinion.
The Quality of the New Custom Alps Compatible SW will be welcomed among some people, I guess.
The New Alps sample PCBs for 60%, 75%, 87% and Plate Samples are almost ready. 
The Alps cases are same as Cherry MX cases, so already in production and We will get it soon.
The keycap issue will be the last one.  Let's Climb the ALps Soon!

Hey Sprit,

Just one quick question: what layout is the plate going to be? Is it only going to be the normal Winkey/winkeyless layout or there's more choices?

Because when i filled the order form for my order, I don't remember choosing the layout....and I personally want to build this board to the Pure's Layout....

Thanks!

Yes it's on my Schedule.  I am an Alps Fan.   Especially the Modern Alps PCBs are Every Fan's Dream, I guess!   

The Easy way is Start with Taiwanese ABS keycaps  and Some Later We can GB for Our Taste.    :) 

I got some Helps from the Guys Who did IC  this Year,  calavera.

I don't plan on using the switches on any other PCB, and I like having a more "solid" switch too !

Hi sprit! First of all I want to thank you everything you do.

I've some questions:

-I've got the new Ducky Shine 3 TKL edition, and when I did the order of the case I chose the option: "87% Filco, Leopold, Ducky, CM Case : How many You want?" and I just writted "1", I didn't especified that I wanted one for the Ducky. Does this matter?

- The other thing I want to know is if this case is compatible with my ducky.

Thank you very much!

The switches are mentioned the same place you order the PCBs. So I guess if all you want are switches, you can specify 0 PCBs and the requisite number of switches to go with your case.

Standard of fitment has been one of the big things Spirit is striving for, to judge by how often he says any combination will work. While I haven't seen a good shot of his PCBs yet, I assume he's got holes everywhere so all the "standard" cases for boards of that size can accept his PCBs.

He should correct me, though, if there are some combinations that just won't work because that's silly. Let's see what he says.  :cool:

Hello!  This is the most Serious Subject !  :)      

As Mr. AKmalamute beautifully Pointed Out,   SPRIT  Model 1 (2,3) PCBs will fit well  : 
 
For 60% Poker compatible cases  : Yes! 100%
For 75% MX-mini  compatible cases  : Yes!  100%
For 87% TKL compatible cases  :  Yes! for the Plate mount(But need to check the position of USB connector),  No! for the PCB direct mount to the case (No cases are Ready for that by Now, but mine)  For Philco, Leopold, Ducky, I prepared extra Fitting Holes.

My man jorge! It can be 62, 65 or 67g. Best to try out the 65g one, if you don't like it you can swap it out easily because of the plate :)

The Titanium Model costs +50 USD to the standard 87% Dur-Alu, 250 USD.

OK!  No problem!   :)   Mr. Zeal !

It is as it was in Your Order  Dec.04  19:19.  But   I corrected it to 1x White 60% PCB, and 1x red 4mm aluminum plate For YOU Now!

On the Invoice I marked only the qty, not the Colors to Save Time,  Sorry For That !

I will do my best to get the Red 4mm Dur-Alu Plate For YOU!  :)

I would recommend getting PCB mounted switches because they are more versatile.  If you want to do PCB mounted, you have the option.  If you want to do plate mounted, you just clipping off the plastic bits on the bottom of the switch and they are now plate mounted switches.

I found the answer.  I remembered that I had seen ps2avr, but it was actually ps2avrU.  Here is a link to the firmware: http://winkeyless.kr/entry/ps2avrU-firmware-%EB%B0%8F-utility (use google translate).

It says: "ps2avrU - PS / 2 and USB interface supports both the new firmware."

I'd love to get 10lbs of aluminum case ... but I can't until at least March ... and it might not work out even then. But I'd love to see them made / shipped so I can buy a spare in the classifieds if it turns out I have the dough at that time.

I have a request, regarding the ALPS boards. Since I suspect a fair number of us wanting that series already have, and are satisfied with, our own switch supply ... Spirit, can you consider making the boards available sans newly minted korean switches?

I really appreciate that you're making this GB a one-stop-shop for do it yourselfer's needs. But it's okay too, to provide just the PCBs and say "This is all I have. Get the rest elsewhere."

I bet if you did, you could still move 50 Alps boards easily enough ... one wave down, the third wave for pcb+switch kits.

I've always wondered, why can't you use PCB mounted switches in a plate mounted design without clipping the two tabs? Doesn't this PCB support both types of switches? So, since there are already two extra holes, wouldn't keeping the two tabs on the switch increase the rigidity of the switch when plate mounting? Or am I blatantly ignorant/blind? Haha

Anyone care to enlighten me? :p

Having never done it, I'm pretty sure the holes for PCB-mount are the issue. So you could, so far as I know, use PCB (/NW) switches inside a plate. Making everything line up might be more work but that would be about the only issue.

I've done this on two keyboards. So long as the PCB has the holes drilled for the stabilizer pins, then you can leave them on. In fact, I prefer to do this because it makes for an even more stable switch with the plate. I can feel the difference on a standard "sheet" plate, but it's really not noticeable on a thick plate, like the MX Mini or like the 4/5mm plates being offered here. Still, it's one less task to do when you're assembling things, so I would leave them on. :)

Havent recieved a reply from you yet Spirit.
I ordered 90 switches but it said 110 on the receipt. I did however pay because I was afraid of missing out.
So would it be too much of a bother if I got 90 clear switches and 20 black switches?
Also I'd like plate switches.

My understanding is that if you are using this PCB, then you can use PCB mounted switches even with a plate.  If you are using most on this pcb and the rest on a different pate mounted pcb which does not have the holes, you can always just clip those switches.

Tack så mycket Spirit! You are 50 shades of awesome! And since the pcb switches fit on this with plate go for pcb.

Am I right in thinking that you can use a plate and PCB mount the switches so you have the added solidness of a plate but easier modification of the PCB mounted switches?

the plate that was offered is mentioned to be phantom style, with that understanding, that plate allows u to open up the switch housing without having to desolder all the switch first.
and yes, with sprit's pcb, u can use pcb mount switch with the plate.

So if I want the plate but want to be able to easily open the switches do I want PCB or plate mounted switches?

the plate that was offered is mentioned to be phantom style, with that understanding, that plate allows u to open up the switch housing without having to desolder all the switch first.
and yes, with sprit's pcb, u can use pcb mount switch with the plate.

So if I want the plate but want to be able to easily open the switches do I want PCB or plate mounted switches?

both types of switches are fine.
but i would suggest u to go for pcb mount switches as it have extra 2 legs at the bottom side of the switch which will provide better stability.

Just sent you a PM regarding time frames for shipping the PCB's sprit. I asked earlier in the thread but it's been so busy in here you probably missed it :)

I PMed !     

The Payments are too Slow, I need to Pay the Factories for finalizing.   

I might need ReIssue Old Invoices Again !   ;)   


Paypal Stop was more than 2 Weeks,.... I am having a Hard Time for the Schedule...  :)

Your keyboards look great. I wanted to get one when i saw this thread a few weeks back but didn't because i was confused on how to order. All i was wanting was a 60% with cherry mx clears in a white case or whiteish colors also for the keyboard to be a plate mounted.

Hello Sprit,
I receive 4 invoices and I have paid 1252 and 1305 as final orders. I think the other two invoices, 1031 and 1227, are from my previous orders. But I am still receiving reminders that ask me to pay 1031 and 1227. Can you do something with that?  :))

Thank you!

Reissuing the invoices doesn't sound like a bad idea... although I did get a reminder email from PayPal at about the same time things seemed to get sorted out...hopefully people will respond to those? Anyway, I just paid #1033.

Thanks for all your hard work, Sprit. Can't wait to see these PCBs!

I will Issue New Invoices Today to complete  The Batch #1 for GB.

THiS GB comes to the Last Stage.
I need to show the Metal Cases  and  finalize all the Productions. 

The Productions need to be Paid All,  and will need to go the Finalizing
(PCB Inspection, coloring, soldering, Acryl case Inspections, Tapping, finishing, Plates Inspection.s..etc    :)

I ran the firmware information though Google translator but it wasn't too clear.

Otherwise is there a way to tweak the firmware?

Sprit, Any chance you can remind me what case stuff I ordered? I know I ordered an 87 key, but I don't remember what colors I chose. I think I want to order another for the next round of production, but am not sure what I already have coming...

There's semi-continuous production as things meet and re-meet MOQ. There's a PCB order form in the OP. Let your dreams soar.

Mr. nuclearsandwich is 100% Right!  :) 
You can send the Order Form!   I have several 60% ANSI + ISO PCBs 

I should show Metal Cases for this Round 1 GB, so I prepared Extra PCBs. 
The PCBs are Key parts and PCBs will be availableand supported  for a Long long Time!   :)

Hey Sprit,

I can't remember if I ordered stabilizers with my PCB and plate or if I forgot them - can you check for me? Also, if I really forgot to add them, can I still extend my order?

Sent you PM about Stabilizers sprit, didn't see that they are here! Whoops, just invoice me for 10 sets of stabilzers. Are these stabilizers properly spaced for numpad stabilizer as well?

Yeah sprit, what do I do? I think I am going to have to update and modify my invoice, do I just send you a new one and you cancel the old one?

Also, is 1 set of stabilizers enough to build the keyboard?

Also, I see you found 120g springs, I think I am going to need to order a pack of those  :eek:

I didn't realize stabilizers had been added.

Sprit if I want to add stabilizers I should probably just create a new order just for them because I have already paid for my other invoices...

Also, this is what the option says:
"Cherry MX Stabilizers 5pcs (with 1 metal space bar) = 8 USD *"

Sorry for the noob question, but how many 'pcs' do I need for a 60% AND 75% keyboard?

so '1pcs' refers to 'everything needed for a single switch'.  so that would basically have two sides and a bar between them.  ok, makes sense now...

I've submitted new form to specify what type of stabs I want.

Ordered some extras too.. $1.50 per stab is a bit steep however :(

i placed an order

can you just sell me 5 2X PCB cherry stabs instead of the 110% set?

Also can you sell 30 55g, 30 60g, 30 65g, and 30 120g instead of 120 xg?

Edit: Was I supposed to specify in my cherry stabs order whether I needed PCB or plate mount? I ordered the clear acrylic plate.

Wait, the clear acrylic plate is only compatible with PCB-mount switches only?

Stabs!

PCBmount and plate mount switches are basically the same. But if you're building into sprit's PCB, just get PCB mount switches. If you ever need to mount pcb switches onto plate mount boards only, just snip the extra 2 small legs

This is actually cheaper than other places I have seen.  IMSTO is selling 5 for $10 (so $2/piece).

Yeah... I took a look at WASD costar prices, and they are slightly more expensive too, and we know costar stabs are meh.

Hey guys, newbie here, can you answer some questions for me?

1. If you order a case and PCB, what do you have to do to mount switches? Do you need to solder them on?
2. Where is sprit selling springs? Everyone in the thread keeps talking about buying springs and stabs but I don't see where they're buying from.

Thanks!

1. Yes, you need to solder them on.
2. In the PCB order form on in the OP (original post), you will find the springs and stabs are now there...

1. You have to solder it manually or have someone do it for you. You also need stabilizers, keycaps and usb cable. Metal plate is optional but you can add it if you want.
2. It is in the OP, there is a link pointed to the Order Form for PCB.

The previous 68g Springs are under production, If People want 68g  I can re-order in Gold Edition.

Just reiterating for those who haven't submitted another order due to new options on the new order form, sprit mentioned in another post that he was planning on just asking about stabs ("and other stuff") on the shipping invoice. I would just wait for that if you need stabs. In your case since you already submitted another order it's a bit more confusing; on the other hand, I'm not really sure how he has been keeping track of the 10 million order submissions some people have been submitting so maybe cancelling an order/combining orders would just be another drop in the bucket :)

"Shipping invoice". Did you already pay the shipping invoice for your order? If not, then he can tack stabs onto that one, right?

Really Thanks for The deeper discussion!   :) 


1. Gold plating effects  the Spring character very little, in my opinion.

2. Gold metal (the element : Au) is flexible, durable, etc, as we know.

3. Some of the Gold plated springs are hated by quite a lot of manias, mainly for thier stiffness.

4. The Gold plating itself does not guarantee better fuctionality ( = pointless), in my opinion

5. What is The Cherry Original like?  : in 50-80g,  Elastic, Durable, soft, less noise, In my opinion.

6. Conclusion : A Good Spring + Gold Plating =  A Good Spring + 1% better (?),   I hope !   
   

 Do I hate Gold?  No, not at all.   Do I hate bad Springs?  Yes! I do !    Do I hate bad Springs with Gold Plate?   >:D    KRUNG!!~  @.@

PCBs to the final production  (ANSI+ISO, 1.6T, Full LED+HW Macro)



The Fuctionality and QC Inspection done.   Samples soldered and Tested, the latest firmware OK! 

(I will Show the LED effects Tomorrow.)

Still Needs to go to the Parts Soldering stage,  then Firmware Install,  and The final check.

Hi Sprit,

How long do you think these PCB's will still be in production after you ship them? My friend may be interested in getting some black PCB's ( they are also growing on me ), but would like to see my build in person first.

If they won't be in production after these two batches, then I may have to change one of the boards to black PCB, so let me know !

Great to hear! Happy new years to you too, Sprit!  ^-^
I don't believe I've noted in my order, but I'd like to receive PCB mount Clear switches(if possible, it's fine if it's not) & Plate mount stabilizers. Stabilizers will be added on the shipping invoice right?

I guess I need to wait to organinze all and put into the Shipping Invoices!    :(


Originally, My GB was just for PCBs, Plates, and Cases only.   But All the Parts comes in and become a bigger GB.     :)   

But Basically I understand We need this all, I am trying on.   The *Whole Shipping process  will take 3 Weeks, I guess, I am terribly sorry for this!  :(


My Friends!   I really Thanks for Your Supports for This GB Happen!    :thumb:

I 'm just trying a New Simple and Unified Way of building Keyboards.

I 'd like to show You this Whole Scheme in a Simple Pic with the User Manual, soon.


1.  PCB = ANSI+ISO, Funtion Keys, Cherry+Filco CapsLock and Space Bar, HHKB layout...

Inspired by Mr. JDCarpe and Komar007's projects.      Open Source Firmware as Mr. JDCarpe and Komar007 Project.
 
http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=41464.0 (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=41464.0)       https://github.com/komar007/ghkb (https://github.com/komar007/ghkb)      https://github.com/showjean/ps2avrU (https://github.com/showjean/ps2avrU)   


2.  PCB allows both Plate mount/ PCB alone mount on the Case.  So a lot of Flexiblity for Case Design and Key Touch(feeling).

3.  The Case design is more Simplified, more Functional, Versatile, easier to Produce.  I've not shown all, but tell You Guys in the User Manual.
 

For A Reformation of The Case Structure     http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=50580.msg1139285#msg1139285 (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=50580.msg1139285#msg1139285)http://www1.kbdmania.net/xe/photo/7577370 (http://www1.kbdmania.net/xe/photo/7577370)

Surely Some mods on the Right side : 1.75 Shift + Fn Key + 4 Arrows Keys ..
Full F1~F12  (Vertical / or Upper Row horizontal)
ANSI + ISO,  Full LED, HW Macro... etc...   same as Model 1 PCBs

I have 2 candidates  :  84Keys with Left vertical F1~F10 column   / or,   84 keys with Upper Row as normal Esc, F1~F12
I guess You Guys know What I mean  :)
I will ask You Guys Opinion before launching.

Ok! Are you grouping my order together, or shipping them as they come? I can do either, but would just need to know the full shipping cost before deciding. I really need these parts to come here before February !

I think I read that he will be doing the final round of invoicing of the stabs and springs and such with the shipping invoices.  It makes sense because he has to invoice for shipping anyway and so many people have added stabs...

I'm a bit concerned with import charges to the UK. It would cost me quite a bit if so.

Can this PCB fit inside a Filco case? I was just curious since the PCB will have a detachable cable and the Filco does not (In the traditional sense) so was wondering how that would work.

Also, this board is Cherry stabs only right?

He is selling cherry stabs, but coster should be fine if you are using a plate since they are plate mounted.

I think he is waiting to do the final invoices until he can do shipping at the same time.  It makes no sense for him to try to do another round of invoicing only to have to do it AGAIN for everyone when he has to invoice for shipping.

To answer your question, no I have not gotten an invoice for my latest additions (which I submitted a week or so ago).

It has been the holidays as well, so hopefully Sprit has had a chance to relax with his family the last week or so.

Is the PCB the same? So the same one PCB supports both MX and Alps, is that correct?

Hey sprit, I've add some springs to my cherry mx stabs order earlier. Just so you know before you'll send me the invoice.
Thanks again   :)


Happier Newer Year!  pichu23  !   :)
For the Acryl Plate, PCB mount Stabizers good for the machinging Reason. 
I got Your springs and stabils order, the Invoice will come with shipping !

I think he means that in his Model 1 Project, it is compose of different items mainly MX PCB,   Acryl Case,   Alu Case,   Alps PCB

When he starts the GB, I think all 4 of them have different thread for Interest Checks.

Happy New Year!  Mr. Pacifist !   :)    Sorry for the Confusion!

This Project is on Going :  You can see the Summary on the 1st Page.   :   MX PCB,   Acryl Case,   Alu Case,   Alps PCB   

* The Alps PCB will be ALps Only!  for the PCB and Plate's Structural Stability, Simplicity, dedicated LED Functionality for ALPS.  (*edited )

Very interested in ALPS too.

Submit another order with all your details. Put in the notes section that you'd like it to be shipped with your other order. including the previous invoice number would probably help

Thanks!  cookiesowns!    :) 

I guess I need to wait to organinze all and put into the Shipping Invoices!    :(


Originally, My GB was just for PCBs, Plates, and Cases only.   But All the Parts comes in and become a bigger GB.     :)   

But Basically I understand We need this all, I am trying on.   The *Whole Shipping process  will take 3 Weeks, I guess, I am terribly sorry for this!  :(

Depends.

Did you order a case? If not, should be cheap. I ordered 4 pcb's, with cases, and bunch of other stuff to go with it. So my estimate if shipped via EMS air, it will be at least $80 lol.

Guys!  Terribly Sorry For the Delay !!    :)

3 Types Metal Cases are under machinging Now.     1. light-weight, Simple Beauty   2. Mid-weight, Beaty   3. Heavy Ugly Beast

Design Concept is :
Key Feelings First!   Inter-operable with different PCBs,   LED Friendly,   Mix n Match with PolyAcryl Models,   Plate/PCB mount to the Case,  User adjustable Tilt Angles,  Solid/Soft feets,  detachable Dust Covers...

I have a Design Dilemma  :  Price and Beauty ...    :(
As We know, More Machinging gives beauty, but costs More.     
During Shipping Acryl cases,  I want to show Metal cases Soon!  I love to show the Designs I really Love.   Sorry again !    :)

I'm going to ask the same question as before, as i didn't get an answer, i don't know if you missed it.

But what kind of cases does the 87% fit in? Does it fit the QFR Rapid case or something similar or does it fit yours exclusively?

Hello!  JanasDK !    Very Critical Question !  :)

Model 1   87% PCB fits in a few cases but Mostly No !  (Filco, Leopold, Ducky, CM ..  These Cases are different each other too)
http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=49102.0 (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=49102.0)
   

Two Major Problems  ...

1. One PCB has to have too many fitting holes to fit in different cases.  But One Custom case with many holes for different PCBs seems OK!

2.  The distances (= pitch) between F1~F12 and 12345.. row are Not one, very differ in ANSI (ISO) Standard, and many Commercial cases are differ in that Pitch.

For this moment, I am working on Commercial PCBs to fit in Model 1 Custom Cases, but I wish to try on this Issue again.    :)

Its even more complicated then that. You'd have to buy clears from somewhere else (like Mechanical Keyboards . com) and buy springs of a lighter value, say 62g springs from Spirit, and when they all are in your possession, dismantle each clear, remove the tiny spring it came with, and put a 62g spring back. Re-mantle the switch, and solder that onto the PCB. Then you'd have ergoclears.

But he does, at least, have the springs to make ergoclears with. Or unergoclears, using 120g springs.

Off topic, but lets say I desolder my all-blue keyboard, and replace the blues' springs with the aforementioned 120g version. Would those be jailhouse blues, or ghetto greens? Is the other one when you take those blue springs and put them under green sliders?

(still eagerly awaiting the release and deployment of the 60% ALPs board, of course.)

Is there an option for Cherry MX Clears? If not, how difficult would it be to swap the switches to ergo clears on this keyboard? Would you have to basically take it apart and solder the new switches in?
Its even more complicated then that. You'd have to buy clears from somewhere else (like Mechanical Keyboards . com) and buy springs of a lighter value, say 62g springs from Spirit, and when they all are in your possession, dismantle each clear, remove the tiny spring it came with, and put a 62g spring back. Re-mantle the switch, and solder that onto the PCB. Then you'd have ergoclears.

I would call 120g blues cherry mx super blues. Like cherry mx super blacks. :P

Sprit any possibility of shipping the first batch people prior to the end of January? Or shipping out stuff as they are ready? I'm going to be away from home for a few months, and I much rather be able to inspect the stuff as soon as they arrive just in case something goes horribly wrong.

I don't mind if I wait for springs to be shipped later.

As You know, Now This is a Full set and Parts Group Buy.   :)      My First Intension was Only PCB, Plate and Case.
But This became including Switches, Oils, Springs, Stabilizers, etc...
Seeking Every Parts and Producing takes much longer time than I first expected when I did Interest Check.


But I am so happy to Build Something and Share with You Guys!    :-* 
Really Thank You for Your Supports and Patience!   
Oh!  I need to hurry up for Shipping !   It takes much More time than expected!   :-X

Hi, I've been lurking these forums for a bit but I was wondering about the 2nd GB. So by Fully Assembled does this mean that if I'm interested in a keyboard I should check back on that day?

The first round is just going to be complete PCBs, by that I mean its going to have all the SMD soldering done for you so all you need to do is add the switches and put it in a case. Sprit is going to offer a service for the 2nd round where you can have people assemble it for you, from what I understand.

I would be in if the numpad is on the left instead of the right side and the right side is cut away.  I like it much more when left and right hand are closer together.  But thats only me.

I'd just like to throw my $.02 in, and say that proposed XT layout, apparently suggested by Pasph but presented by spirit, looks fine. It would be better than a conventional layout in a few ways, and certainly unique enough to justify paying for a custom keyboard.

As much as I dearly want to order an aluminum case, I probably can't afford it for any size; too many other things making claims on my income.

 Also, while I'm very appreciative of the assembly services being offered, I've already gotten the switches for the particular PCB I'll be getting -- namely the ALPS board, so I won't need any extra assembly,  but might pick up extra stabilizers and possibly MX compatible springs for other projects I'm in the middle of.

Would it be possible to use the full-size case to house a das-keyboard (with usb modification) or fullsize Topre Realforce 104UB or would the PCBs not fit? If so I'd buy 2 of full size metals.

Also, you have fields for metal cases in two of the forms links. Would we need to submit both?

I've gotten some of mine in 4 business days. Normally under 2 weeks for sure though. Most likely looking at around 7 days though it's normally customs that makes it spontaneous

Hi~ moosa !  :) 
2nd GB ready, So I opened earlier,  Sorry for Confusion!   :)


This is just my very personal Opinion :

< Using a Metal Plate for a 60%  : Pros  and Cons? >
Pros  : Solid, Rigid, Stable Key Touch and Slider movement, good for 62g +
Cons : Hard, Stiff, Sometimes painful for the Soft Key Touch Users under 60g.

< Using a Acry Plate for a 60%  : Pros  and Cons? >
Pros  : Solid, Rigid, Stable Key Touch and Slider movement, with Overall Softness. and You can Enjoy the PCB Colors and Better LED effects.
Cons :  Thin Acryl may breaks, but Thick Acryl are Solid enough. Weak to the Scratch, Need a Soft brush ro clean.

I think that depends on the case you plan to use. Not sure all of his cases support no plate. I'm sure he will verify.

No plate will be much softer and not as ridged as plate mounted.

Hey guys, this looks very interesting.

I can't really find the difference between the metal and acrylic cases...

What is the reasoning behind different alu plates (1.6mm vs 4mm)? Also acrylic plate?

I know this question is slightly more obvious but uhh which mx switch has which weighted spring?

Sorry for sounding annoying, but I may want to get this and I have never built my first keyboard yet.

Also, when is the deadline for this? Will there be another round or website where we can order the parts off of?
Looks gorgeous and I don't want to miss this opportunity but I will if it is available later.

Doesn't look too bad. So My order should be around 8-10KG, not bad at all.  Sprit again. I really appreciate it if you can get this shipped out before end of this Month. In fact, if you can get the items to me before February 6th, I'll be able to do thorough overview & review, as well as high def pictures that you can use :)

PCB info says All SMDs are presoldered.
If we want to assemble this ourselves, do we have to solder anything else on the PCB ( besides LEDs and switches)

Also, is the springs option for people who want to change the spring? like a spring swap?

So is my shipping also going to cost $72 because I got a 4mm thick plate?
Hello HPE100 !  :) 

YouR Order is  : 60% PCB + 4mm Alu Plate +  1set LED + No case
After Packing, it is estimated to be : 200g + 600g + 30g + Inner Box (150g) + EMS Box No.3 (250g) = 1.25KG

Korean Post EMS 1.25KG costs aroung 40 USD  + (Packing Box 1USD + Packing materials 1USD + etc = 3 USD for Small Packing)
(40 USD after my Paypal fee will be 38.4 USD and Exchange rate will be 39.5(x1,000) Korean Won, hoplely)

Total Estimated Packing and Shipping Cost to USA = 40 USD + 3 USD = 43 USD. 
* If There is Overcharge, or undercharge, I will refund or charge that !    :)

just switches and led that needs to be soldered on.
all pcb already have SMD parts soldered on including diodes and also resistors if i'm not mistaken.

yes u may purchase springs to swap springs on your switches.

Thank you very much! I hope those diodes and such are included; I don't want to solder those small bits because they are a bit confusing and I need to learn a bit more on how to solder them.

So with that info in mind I may jump and get a 60% and TKL keyboard since the price is a steal I'll probably get one, hopefully my peeps at home won't critisize me on my third keyboard hehe, becoming outta control

Hi Sprit!

Question for you regarding Round 2.. If I purchase the entire keyboard (87%), including assembly, would something like this be allowed?

Alpha keys = 50g MX Reds
Mods = 50g MX Browns
Esc = 80g MX Brown

Also, do you have a date set for Round 2's end?

I'd definitely like to purchase a fully assembled keyboard from you, but I'd prefer to wait until I receive my acrylic cases from round 1 first.

Thanks again for doing all of this! :thumb:

Hi, I got the gist of things now but last questions, what is the difference between 1.6mm and 4mm alu plate? Less flex/more rigidity? Since it's taller do we need to do any additional stuff?

Hey spirit can you just confirm that the only things I need to solder myself are switches and LEDs? And that the resistors, diodes and stuff are presoldered?

When it says ANSI+ISO, how do I choose American/ANSI?

Yes diodes controller as well as bootloader and latest firmware are all pre loaded and soldered. Switches & LED's are the only thing you need.

Difference is in thickness and rigidity on plate, I personally don't know how they feel, but I went with the 4MM plates as I like solidity =) Shouldn't be anything else you need to change.

The resistors for the LEDs have to be soldered as well.

Question.
Is the firmware programed so that the LED on the caps lock changes colour when it is on/off? (Assuming I use a multi colour LED)

Thank you cookie!

I think that the answer to my last question is  the firmware right?  I mean PCBs don't matter because they both have to same key placement. The only difference is like the enter key where I think the software takes care if that; like programming the higher key on the enter key for enter also. I dunno where to find software. Not sure, this is my "theory".
So I'm going to order one tommorrow. YOLO (jk)

sprit, i'm sorry if you have to answer this many times, but does your pcb comes presoldered with resistors for the LED or do we have to buy our own resistors?

As one of the lucky few who got test shipments from Sprit, I can tell you that the LEDs come with tiny little SMD resistors.

Diodes need to be soldered for switches in the first batch, just got my 60% from the post office a moment ago.

Is it actually the diodes that need to be soldered on or is it the resistors for the LEDs?  It was my understanding that the SMD diodes would be soldered on, but since the required resistors can be different for the different LEDs (color can change the resistor needed), those were not going to be factory soldered.  I thought I remember a note about that once.  I did not realize the LED resistors were going to be SMD, that was not clear.  I was kind of expecting through hole resistors. 

If the diodes are soldered that is much better because then the board is just switches away from working (without backlighting).  You only need to solder the resistors if you are doing backlighting (which a lot of people want to do with these).  It is much more of a pain to have to do SMD work for lots of switches.  Haha, glad I didn't buy a full sized.  :P

my understanding is more or less the same as yours.
just that i assumed that the resistors are soldered on as well.
another thing i assumed (so much assuming here! LOL!) is that the resistor presoldered is suitable for the higher brightness leds (3.0-3.2v), those lower brightness led, eg, red, orange, yellow, etc...will appear dimmer and if u want uniform brightness, that's when u need to mod out the resistor to suit the led.
and yes initially i assumed it to be hole resistors type, and then i got confused seeing that all smd parts are factory presoldered...haha!

now we need sprit to clear it up for us >.<

Thanks for letting us know.  :)  Can you post a picture for us so we know what we can expect to have to do?

PCB MOQ Issue !

PCB   :   Full LED + HW Macro      Open Source Based!     
60%, 75%  PCB    :  Fixed Price  50 USD  (MOQ = 50)             
87%, 110%  PCB  :  Fixed Price  55 USD  (MOQ = 50)                 
* ANSI+ISO, 1.6T Heavy Duty, All SMDs are pre-soldered (MOQ).         
* The Latest Firmware & Key-Maps Installed and Tested 


As I explained to Some Members,
...   One thing I am really sorry is,  ....  Before the GB started, I got a negotiation with the Factory as 50 +50 +50 +50pcs for Automatic soldering.   
But The MOQ failed  in the 1st batch of PCB Orders.    :(   
So for this 1st Batch, Diodes and Resistors for LEDs are not soldered. 
Sure, The Controller and It's parts are Soldered and Tested, the Latest Firmware installed.....
:) 


Conclusion :  MOQ Matters.
 
I worried about that.  After all, The PCBs were under MOQ.  If the Order is 50 +30+30+20,  There was No way to do Automatic soldering in the Factory.
Because of Equippments Setups and alignment Prosess, and Time and Costs.
Really Struggled for that with the Factory untill recently,  Terribly Sorry For That ! 
:(    :(   

Soldering Diodes are Not that difficult.  Basically Same as LEDs.  I will post some Easy Technics for it.
I will solder Diodes for 10pcs 60% PCBs for free , If You Guys ask.

If more Guys want the diodes soldered, I will do it for the 60% PCBs by hand.   It was near MOQ.

The LED Orders are around the half of the PCB Orders.  Seems Not Everybody needs LEDs.
Soldering Small chip Resisters for LED is basically same.
 
For the 2nd GB Batch,  I am going to Produce Each 100pcs of Factory-Presoldered 60%, 87% PCB.
     
75% and 110% PCB are to be Hand-Soldered.

I posted earlier in the thread but I guess it got overlooked. Are you selling any aluminum plates that would fit a Filco tenkeyless? Can I order just a plate? I assume, since I want to use my existing costar stabilizers I would want the 1.5mm plate since the costar stabs are designed to fit 0.060" plates.

Yeah, I thought it was everything soldered save for the switches and LEDs for that price.  It sounds like Sprit will be doing the LED diode soldering if you ask though.  I know I would like that done.  If that's the case, thanks for making that right Sprit.  I know not everyone will go that far in a GB.

Nope, you're not.  I might try and find a hot air station to use for cheap/free since I don't feel comfortable doing SMD soldering with my setup.

 I am not daunted. I have never soldered anything before buying myself that phantom board just before the holidays (Merry Christmas, malamute!) and yet I find I have a working board on my kitchen table. It has not been a small job, but I look forward to this project's completion, and eagerly await the ALPS 60% boards.

 Err, I don't suppose if you told yourself it was a right of passage, getting a board with some loose parts would make you feel better about participating in the GB?

I understand that, just communicate things like this a bit better in future. I wasn't even made aware of the diode issue until it was in the post.

Besides the point though, I don't want to make a big deal out of it but I thought people should know.

Please be sure to do it in an open ventilated area (soldering so much will have adverse effects), do it outside with a fan?, you are truly a man. The entire time I've been on GH, this is probably the most daunting task I've ever seen someone willing to do.

Thank you very much for this. I was ready to do it myself, but I wasn't too confident that I wouldn't damage them if I did it.

Question about the 60% firmware.
Does the caps lock LED change colour when I activate it? Assuming I use a multi colour LED.

Actually I feel Shame for Not succeeded in All SMD Factory Pre-Soldering.    :( 
The Factory finally refused for the Small Qty and Set-Up Cost and Time.

But I want at least All the Diodes Soldered Before Shipping for You!  :)

The Last Problem is the Resistors for LED.
I will ask Everyone on that in the Invoices or PM,  Who need this.   :)

The Estimated Time for the Soldering Resistors on a 60% PCB is  20-25 min for me.  All are Free!

I will Post the Soldered PCB Pics !

So please answer clearly if my stuff will come all presoldered.
If not i'm ok even to pay a fee for having all assembled but please don't ship something i can't use.

Wow, I just want to commend sprit on how nice he is, I don't see that much.

Now. you said the 2nd GB PCBs were presoldered right?( with everything except switch/LED I assume)
When is that? Like If I were to send in my google docs order today, would that be 1st GB or 2nd GB?

Also how do we choose between ANIS and ISO? Or does the firmware/keymapping/software take care of that?

Invoice Paid. But I noticed that there were no stabilizers on the order. Should I expect them in the 2nd round? I PM'd you and submitted my order for them a bit late...

Also, this question seems to be glanced over a lot...

Question about the 60% firmware.
Does the caps lock LED change colour when I activate it? Assuming I use a multi colour LED.

I really appreciate the work and dedication you are putting into this Sprit. If I had known there are SMD parts to be soldered I would have stayed clear of the GB -- I don't have the tools and the eyesight to do this anymore. I would appreciate it very much if you would put the parts on. Thanks !

If Sprit can't do your board I can as long as you don't mind it going to be California for a bit before heading to its home in the pacific northwest. I'm no super pro but I enjoyed the SMD that I've done.

Hi Sprit,

On the invoice it's mentions only pcb mount stabilizers because of moq. Will these work at all with a plate? Otherwise i will probably have to wait for gb2 to get the stabilizers sourced for my build.

would like to confirm before i pay the invoice, or i will need it changed, with he possibility of my things being held and all sent together if there is not issues.

AS You know, I was going to apply the Plate Mount Type Stabilizers on Metal Plates.


The Stabilizer Order for Plate Mount was under 60 sets.  The Factory MOQ for the plate type MOQ was 1,000sets.

I was expecting to buy at least 500sets from the factory. But had to give up.

So, I've changed Metal Plate Design to PCB mount type, and Asking People's Decisions.

For the 2nd GB,  I am going to order the Plate Mount Type at all, even with my money.

Hi Sprit, received your invoice just now, thanks! But there is a problem with the new invoice #1443. #1443 contains items that I already paid for, in invoice #1273.
The correct item I have to pay under #1443 should be the stabilizers 2 sets $16, shipping $30, Group buy fee $3. Total is $49

For your easier checking, the invoices I received so far are 1225 (paid), 1273 (paid) and 1443 (not paid because of the problem)
Please send me a new invoice. Thank you again for organizing.

wow,
looking forward to seeing how these pcb-mounted cherry stabs are going to get a hold in a 4mm metal plate. If I remember correctly the distance between those clips going through the pcb and the actual bottom of the stab is far less than 4mm. I wonder if you had to drill those plates from the bottom... really interesting.
Anyways just paid the latest invoice... and don't bother with the soldering Sprit, looking forward to doing this myself.
And thanks again for this amazing GB.

Hello !  Elias Camber !! :) 
Really Sorry for the Plate-mount Stab.  I am so frustrated not get them for the 1st GB.   :(   

As You know, My PCBs are for Both PCB- and Plate- Mount SWs and Stabilizers.
So, Metal Plate + PCB mount Stabilizer is No Problem.   It's CNC Machiened.   :) 
All Korean Customs are Plate + PCB mount Stabilizers Now. But I want to try a diffenet way.

Only for the Metal Plates, Stabilizers are changed to PCB mount Type.
The Acryl 5mm Plate are for the PCB mount Stabilizers From the begining.  :)

Don't worry, I don't have any problems with pcb-mounted Stabs.
I have a question for you:
I remember you talking about hardness of plates for your fingers and I find this to be true.
I really like the feel on the normal G80s giving in a little bit to the force an even dampening the sound a little bit.
If I was looking for this kind of feeling, would you advise me to get one of your acrylic plates, like 2mm?

Thanks!  Elias!

If You like the Cherry Original G80 Keyboards (No Plates), My personal Opinion is : No Plate.
Because Our 1st GB PCBs are 1.6mm Thick, I feel They are Just a little bit stronger and a little bit less sound.
I Really like keyboards without Plate Too!

There have been a lot of discussions on Stabilizer Type among Korean Users.

To Summarize :

- PCB mount Type   :  Soft landing to PCB.   Sometimes gives a dull, too soft Key Touch to the Keys.  Slider has narrow feet and nails.
- Plate Mount Type  :  Hard landing to PCB.  The Slider hits PCB more Clear. Slider has thicker feet and Flat. No nails.


- My Mods     :     Cut the Nails and Feet, mod PCB-mount Sliders as Plate-mount Sliders, giving them more Clear, Solid Landing.

Yes. SMD/Through hole diodes will not be pre-soldered unfortunately. You'll have to do it yourself. However, if you don't mind waiting longer for your boards, you can have sprit do them for you.

I read a lot of posts about people worrying about assembly, has something changed?
No more "pop in the switches and chat with your friends "in OP

You should be okay as long as you didn't order a 110%.

OK!  I will work on All Doides Pre-soldered By hand, For 60% and 75%  and 87% PCBs for 1st GB.

The Last Problem is the Resistors for LED.
I will ask Everyone on that in the Invoices or PM,  Who need this.   :)

The Estimated Time for the Soldering Resistors on a 60% PCB is  20-25 min for me.  All are Free!

And for the future...

For the 2nd GB Batch,  I am going to Produce Each 100pcs of Factory-Presoldered 60%, 87% PCB. [/font]     
75% and 110% PCB are to be Hand-Soldered.

I got a 60% so I guess I don't have to worry then. I've done quite a bit of soldering before so if it's not too small and I get some instructions I should be ok.

Hah, I was after the same thing, and ended up pulling the dimensions of the 110% from teh DWG on winkeyless.kr's 'site. It should be similar.

The numbers I got were 428.625mm * 122.7895mm, which should be about right.

I plan on screwing mine to a chunk of metal, and it looks like 0.25*5" round edge stock is about perfect. Getting it cut to 17" is pretty cheap online (http://www.onlinemetals.com/merchant.cfm?pid=18148&step=4&showunits=inches&id=1282&top_cat=60) and should weigh about 1Kg. I'll drill and tap through holes, bolt the PCB on and call it a kb case.

sheet of plastic voltage protection material as well as some foam I get at the art store. I have a Pure that uses this style of case that I have used for a year I guess with no issues. As far as "your" case goes, I'd do it without the rubber feet (not necessary). I might go with a hard rubber pad instead of the art foam. We'll see.

Title: Re: <Full Assemble GB Open!> SPRIT Model 1 : PCB + Case + Parts ..
Post by: Zeal on Tue, 21 January 2014, 18:49:23
Yes, all MX switches come with pre-installed springs. People here like to mod their switches by swapping out the stock springs (and apply lube/grease on sliders+springs)  to create a different switch feel so that's why there's such a wide variety of aftermarket springs :p
LEDs are not required. It's a personal preference.
The PCB uses a Korean custom one similar to ps2avr. It should still fit in the majority of cases.

That is okay, hopefully they are done soon though :)

Quite impressive how you were able to get 100g and 120g springs produced at such numbers. People on geekhack tried to get springs like this before through the supplier originativeco uses and the MOQ for springs that were over 100g was 50,000.

Is there a difference in feel between the two? Stainless looks shiny while Cherry original has a dull, typical tin look to it :p

I think Stainless steel stabilizers would feel smoother due to the slippier and shinier material regardless of lube. Am I wrong to assume so?

I suspect there will be no difference in feel. As such, I prefer typeB 'cause it looks cooler. Still, I don't think I ordered any, so I'll just use the ones I have here.

Which One Do You Prefer ?
 

I got a sample A,  but delivered ones were B.
I ordered it again,  I got Stabilizer A yesterday.

A is Stainless,  B is Cherry original Tin(Sn) plated.

Which one do you think is better? Is cherry original stabilzer Stainless + plating? Or just steel + plating?

And regarding stabilizer bars, i didn't notice the difference in spacebar bar design while viewing the thread on my phone. What's the extra indent on the Cherry spacebar stabilizers for? Or is that how 7x units look?  :confused:

One has an upward curve kind of some tension break, both work fine, just aesthetics straight vs a more refined version

Hey Sprit or anyone who knows the answer,

How does one go about setting up the layout of the board? I know firmware is pre-installed, but do I need to download something else to alter the layout? Assuming I don't mess up the diodes, I'd like to do a 1+1 backspace and 1.75+1 shift.

Also, any tips for soldering diodes?  :p My soldering experiencing is limited to through hole LEDs and switches. Through hole diodes would work with this board, right?

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1avh0wGJIpLXC8duM5XfIOMrk8eCp6ZGE27QY08WDqcg/viewform
just go through the form and since you are looking for tenkeyless board, it would be 87% pcb with 87% plate and casing,,,
but if you are really new about it, I would suggest you to do more researches before making decision :D

anyways sprit, shipped any?  ;)

Yes, hence why there are delays. If you wish to get them quicker, you can request to just get a bag of the SMD diodes to solder yourself.

If you want, I could have Sprit add your spring orders to mine, and I can proxy it to you for $11.35 via 2 Days Expedited. Cheapest shipping option via paypal shipping :x

I could also just send it via regular mail/registered mail if you'd like though.
Registered mail=$8.5+($0.63 if under 30g, $1.10 for 30-50g)

If you bought it from someone that was in the first wave, then everything will be pre-soldered except for switches. If there were LEDs in the order, Sprit said he'd be soldering the proper resistance resistors on too.

I tried to contact sprit but i am not getting any answers.
I am wondering if for the second round, is the smd and the diodes going to be soldered? I assume you can ask him to do them?
Also as said above, what does the metal cases look like (final product)
Thanks!

January 31st was the lunar new year so Sprit and the production facilities are still coming back from a major holiday.

The further rounds (after round one) will have smd devices soldered in some cases by hand as you can see from sprit's announcement (quoted below)

For the 2nd GB Batch,  I am going to Produce Each 100pcs of Factory-Presoldered 60%, 87% PCB.     
75% and 110% PCB are to be Hand-Soldered.

What does the metal cases look like (final product)
Thanks!

Metal cases haven't been posted yet. I'm not even sure if there is a final design. It could be part of the thread I haven't read yet.

Isn't this the metal case? http://geekhack.org/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=50580.0;attach=46126;image

I PMed sprit a few times with some questions about the 87% pcb and I really want to buy one but I haven't gotten any replies...

Anyway, I would gladly take a 87% pcb if anyone decides to sell me one.

Sprit will have two designs. One being all metal, and that one you linked as a layered metal/plastic design.

I'm eagerly waiting for the unveiling of the all metal design myself.

Hey Sprit, I'm planning on ordering a fully custom keyboard from you with a metal case and am patiently awaiting the unveiling of it. How long will orders be open? Thanks a lot. You're doing amazing work.

Hey all, I'm new to all this and bought a PCB from someone in the groupbuy. Curious as to what diodes and resistors I would need to purchase to make this work. I've practiced some soldering and am eager to continue learning with this project!
Hello! reziak!  :) 

As I PMed yesterday, the PCB is very early shipped with Diodes (unsoldered).
You need solder the diodes.  Sorry for that!   :)

Hi Sprit,

what about my set?

For this GB do we fill out the form and then we are invoiced...? The invoice isn't committing to the purchase - I wan't to find out how much it will cost to get some bits and pieces. Basically I already have switches but need other stuff. I can't find any pricing info for the individual parts.

Secondly, are orders all shipped at once or there are a constant stream of orders being churned out? If I order some pieces this afternoon (don't need full assembly) when is the next shipment? I am based in the UK. Thank you

I just sure hope that the diodes are presoldered though.

Yeah Sprit is not responding to my PMs...considering I spent over $400 on this groupbuy I don't think it would be unreasonable to request some pictures of at least some of the parts going into my board...

Has Sprit done any other groupbuys here or anywhere else? We've been getting a deluge of scammers on geekhack and I don't want to have to deal with another one...

Chill... He is busy, I would put money on the fact that he is very busy. We have seen pictures of the pcbs, and all the little parts like switches, leds, springs, resistors, stabilizers. It was just a holiday and he is working on getting everything done on top of that...

He is online now, hopefully an update.

Hello !  Guys!   :) 

The 18K Gold-Plating for the Springs has Finished Today.

I had sampled more than 6 times, I am happy with the final quality!   :) 
It took so much time. Really Sorry Fot that!

The Pics are from the Factory (a cooperative factory for Samsung, LG, Hyundai) this morning.
When I get it Tomorrow, I am going to sort and ship it with Your Orders.   Terribly Sorry for the Delay!

All Parts took so much time than my expectations. Not happy with this.  :( 


I got Paypal Payments from 25th.Nov - 24th Dec. 
and some Items added, and Productions... delays...
It has been a tough job, But I have been enjoying that.  :) 


Guys! Please Wait a little Bit for shipping!  I'd Really appreciate and Love You!  :-* 

I will update more Pics!~

To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadows, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more; it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Sprit was working on them full steam ahead in October and November but I think he's been overwhelmed with the expanding scope of this first round (first adding springs and stabs, then the loss of factory SMD) as well as life happenings. I doubt he's lost enthusiasm for the project but he's probably focusing on shipping out round 1 for his own sanity. Needless to say I'm excited about SPRIT's Alps boards but will wait patiently for them until this buy is taken care of.

Can you confirm a few things for my order?

Diodes are soldered correct? What about springs? I noticed that from the part 1 group buy the spring weights have changed, would I be getting the original weights or whatever is there now?

What is the default keymap installed on the 60% PCB, and how can it be changed?

I've been digging through Korean documentation of ps2avrU, but I keep running into issues. For starters, I'm running OS X and everything seems to be built for Windows. I have a Windows 7 installation running in a Virtualbox and have gotten to the point where I can run the bootloader, but the device cannot be found.

Any help here would be much appreciated.

Edit: I figured it out! Well, I kinda figured it out. I've written up what I found here (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=40501.msg1229605#msg1229605).

Ugh,

Wish I gone for a set of full clear-clear-clear setup. It looks to me like the middle and top layers are interchangeable, if this is the case, then woot! More customization combos.

If not, well boo :(

Sprit will you continue producing the cases even after the group buy is over? Or will this become like a collectable and people can start trading keyboard cases ( lol )

IF it's interchangeable then I'll want a full 87% clear-clear-clear acrylic case!

Sprit said he's still working on them.

I really wish he got things down before offering the GroupBuy, as not only would that make sure I get the perfect selection, it almost might have meant I would have bought more stuff from him!

It's all adding up, he really needs to start a wallet hack list for all of us bahaha.

Hello!  Mr. Baldguy!   :)  

I will post the H bar in couple of days!   Really Appreciate for Your Inspiration!   :)  

It is like :    __I I_____I I_____I I_____I I_____       You can see the Connection Bolting Holes on the PCB.
                  _____________________________

                                                                 I            I 

What's the Purpose ?  :    For the Easier Case Design and Production, More Colour Effects, and hopely Lower the Cost in Metal Cases.

Hope to finish all the production in Next week, and Resume shipping!   Really Appreciate Your Supports and Patience!!

Interchangeable Between top and top, Middle-middle, Bottom-Bottom.  (Because of the USB connector port)

Ask sprit to merge our orders and then we can sort out local Toronto delivery.

Mind if I join in as well? I'm about an hours drive from toronto, so shipping for two packs of springs shouldn't be much.

I'm from Toronto too. Just stumbled on this thread and wanted to join in. If I can help with splitting costs I don't mind joining!

The Color reflections are from the Building LED AD Sign.

Ok, so I have a dumb question. Is the H bar the part that covers up the bare PCB? Can this be added if the switches are already soldered on? I'd really like a frosted or white 87% one if that's the case.

I'm dropping in a Ducky Shine 3 TKL into my Acrylic case and was just going to deal with the bare black showing.

Um. It's not that. I'm currently living away from home and would not be back till 3 months later. Who's gonna get the parcel for me if the shipping is way off the time intended. Plus the time I planned to put the board together was during my summer break. So yeah.

Hey, I have not been following this thread for quite a while and don't want to read 40 pages of questions/answers, but has the round 1 pcb's been shipped yet or not? If not, any time frame for them?

Guys!

Just expect everything to be shipped before end of 2014. You get it sooner, great! If not, who cares! That's the key to any group buy isn't it?
As long as I receive it before the 45-day paypal time limit is up, I'm happy.

I'm already past the 45-day limit. Am I complaining? No, am I disappointed? Yes. Mainly because I'm away from home for a few months, so I didn't get to build the keyboards. Good welcoming present once I get back though.

Hey Sprit, any idea on when shipping will begin? You said "February" but it's March now :(

I know you're probably super busy with the groupbuy and other things, but it would be nice to know when we can expect to see our awesome new stuff!

Hi SPRIT,

I have an order which is springs only and some lube. I have not received an invoice. You posted a few pages back that you would invoice me. I will send a PM with my email address and order items to see if you can then invoice me. It would be great if I could get in on this batch of spring orders.

Hey Sprit,

I bought 2 acrylic case from you, which I paid for. Would it be possible for me to put in an order for a full keyboard + assembly and just pay the difference between what I've paid and what a fully assembled keyboard would cost? or would I just have to order & pay for a full keyboard?

Please let me know!

I love all of your update pics, the cases look beautiful!

2nd  Order !    OPEN !   >    [/font]

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1avh0wGJIpLXC8duM5XfIOMrk8eCp6ZGE27QY08WDqcg/viewform (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1avh0wGJIpLXC8duM5XfIOMrk8eCp6ZGE27QY08WDqcg/viewform) 

I am a bit confused and I hope you guys can help me.
Is it correct that I can order a fully assembled 75% ISO keyboard from this thread if I buy all the parts and check assembly?
I'm not too sure what parts I exactly need to order, I think I got it but I am not too sure if LEDs for example are necessary for the whole thing to work or can be left out...
Would be nice if someone could give me a list of parts for the 75% ISO...

I need some time to think about if a 75% keyboard really gives me any advantage over my TKL board and if it would be worth more than 200 USD for me... I looked through the first post of this topic and couldn't find any deadline for this GB. For how long will I have the opportunity to think about my decision?

Sorry for causing you any inconvenience by asking these questions  :-[

Hey RSSonic92,

To build a 75% board I think you'd need the following:
1x 75% PCB
1x 90 MX Switches
1x Cherry Stabilizers 5pcs
1x 75% Acryl Case
1x Assembly service
1x Plate *optional* - depends on your preferences

LEDs are not needed for the keyboard to function, obviously the only other things you'd need are keycaps and a suitable USB cable.

1x 90 MX Switches $45
1x Cherry Stabilizers Xpcs $10ish
1x X% Acryl Case $80ish
1x Assembly service $45
1x Plate *optional* - depends on your preferences $25

Obviously the only other things you'd need are keycaps and a suitable USB cable.

Total cost: $230 or similar depending on configuration

The Springs Compared


Basically I follow the Cherry Original Specs and GeekHack Standards.  ;)

But As we know, sometimes Cherry Originals are quite different in pressure, even in the same switches.

So I have compared All the samples I got, and compared with my References. 

For my 50g ~70g  version, I added a initial soft touch. (They start a little bit softer and mellow.)


My 50g  is a little bit lighter than MX Red 
My 55g  is similar to MX Red, Brown, Blue
My 60g  is similar to some Vintage MX Blue and some Blue
My 62g  is similar to MX White Click
My 65g  is similar to MX Skyblue Click
My 68g  is similar to some Vintage MX Black
My 70g - 75g  is similar to MX Green
My 75g - 80g  is similar to MX Black
My 85g  is similar to MX Clear
My 100g  is similar to MX Grey Nonclick in MX Clear Keyboards.
My 120g  is super-heavy.

Hi Sprit, I received your invoice 1529 for $315.18

Could you confirm that I have MX Clears for my order? You said you were low on stock but I am not sure if you're able to get me some for my order.

Secondly, I got a 60% board full assembly, I calculated and it should come up to $240 (I left out the stabalizers in my order. But since I got full assembly, did you add them for me automatically?).

Is it $75 for shipping (To Canada)?

Thanks for all your work Sprit! If you confirm this for me I will pay the invoice immediately!


Nevermind just looked at the full invoice -_-

Could I make only one change, since you posted how your springs feel in comparison, could I get 100g springs? I also don't need the lube and spring swap, the springs are for moding later on if I need. Could you take the service out of my order?

Do you want me to PM you my address for you to calculate shipping costs?

So much thanks for all your work Sprit!!

They're invoiced separately, give me a sec and I'll find out how much UK shipping cost which should be pretty similar  :cool:

EDIT: mine came to $52.53 for one PCB, switches and LEDs. I would guess yours *might* be on the shipping band below this as assembled item takes up less volume.

if you're wondering about UK shipping. Mine was "0.5kg or under" classed. It came to $25 shipping. That was for three spring sets and some lube. SPRIT is looking to get a UK group buy organised to do a combined shipping so we can all save. For me the shipping was almost equal to the cost of the products haha! Waiting to hear news from him on this. Express your interest to him if interested I suppose!

I was expecting it to arrive with diodes unsoldered. I'm fine either way, as long as it gets here.

I don't think Sprit originally realised quite how big this buy was going to get, what with the addition of bits like springs and stabilizers and switches so his original planned dates were so far out. He's been really busy prototyping various bits such as the springs to make sure it's all just right! He's almost on the dispatch stage now at which point tasks like invoicing will become much more fluent I think :)

From what I can tell sprit may have already fulfilled all the orders with MX Clears, and since Cherry does not product them anymore, he might not be able to get additional stock.

It's worth a PM. Maybe he has just enough for you.

Hi sprit,

That case looks awesome, now that is one more way to hack my wallet. But you have to know that the success of that case depends on the success  and result of the first round gb. I notice you are avoiding the status update of the shipping. You mention that shipping will be restarted this week  but it is weekend now and there is still no word about it, except for the case. Please let us know the ETA of the shipment and not just promises. As far as I know, the only thing that would delay the shipping is smd soldering and the springs but I think the spring issue has been settled last week. Does the pcb still on soldering processes? An update about this would highly be appreciated.

Thanks,
Jorge

Can you mix an ISO and ANSI layout on this PCB? EG if I wanted the ANSI return but the shorter shift and additional key would it be possible to do so on one board?

Also if I were to order a PCB now, how long would it take before it is shipped?

Hi sprit,

That case looks awesome, now that is one more way to hack my wallet. But you have to know that the success of that case depends on the success  and result of the first round gb. I notice you are avoiding the status update of the shipping. You mention that shipping will be restarted this week  but it is weekend now and there is still no word about it, except for the case. Please let us know the ETA of the shipment and not just promises. As far as I know, the only thing that would delay the shipping is smd soldering and the springs but I think the spring issue has been settled last week. Does the pcb still on soldering processes? An update about this would highly be appreciated.

Thanks,
Jorge

Hello! Jorge!   ;) 
Thanks A Lot for your advice!   :thumb:    I am really grateful!
I will clear it up, and post it!   :)

Basically You can mix ISO and ANSI,  You can mod Keymap as You like.  :)

I am doing restart shipping for the 1st Round at this moment,   ;)    so, if You order now, You need wait for the the MOQ.

Cool, is there a link to the current status of orders? I don't care much for the color of the PCB as I intend to plate-mount.

Also could you post a picture of the 75% pcb please?

SPRiT Edition  :  60% Face W,  75% Mini W,  A.87 W,  110% W 
   
Latest  Firmware  v 1.2.3  May 5, 2016 (Tested by SPRiT)
 

DOWN  >  [attachimg=6]





A.   How to Update the Firmware and KeyMap?          

-  Basically The Latest Firmware and Keymaps are Installed and Tested Before shipping.   
Basic Key Map  : 60%  -   https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=50580.msg1353538#msg1353538 (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=50580.msg1353538#msg1353538)         
-  Unplug the USB cable,
-  Press Q  for 5 seconds, and plug the USB cable  (all LEDs will flick.)   :o :o
-  Open   HIDBootFlash.exe
-  Press  'Find Device'  button
-  Press  'Open .hex File'  button  -   keymain_NKRO.hex  (N-Key Rollover) is the recommended firmware. 
-  Press  'Flash Device'  button    -  it takes 5-10 seconds.
-  Press  'Open .hex file'  button  -  Choose one of the 'keymap.hex'   (60% face,  or  a.87_V03 for A87,  MXmini,  A87UEX)

-  When the flashing is done, unplug the USB Cable, and then plug it again.  -   Hell' ~  My precious!    :-*

[attach=1] 

[attach=2] 

[attach=3]



B.   How to Change the KeyMap?    (Custom Keymap)

Save and backup  Your current keymap. 
-  Load Keymapper  [attach=5]    or, go to   http://winkeyless.kr/bootMapper/ (http://winkeyless.kr/bootMapper/)   MacOS  https://www.dropbox.com/s/dy2gty3yx567ur8/bootMapperClient.zip?dl=0 (https://www.dropbox.com/s/dy2gty3yx567ur8/bootMapperClient.zip?dl=0)
-  Load Your Current or standard Keymap          (1)    ;)
-  Click & Edit the Keys!  with the Re-mapping key buttons.   (2)  ;)  
-  If You don't want to  'apply it to all layers',   Uncheck the box.       (3)    ;)   
-  Press  'save keymap_part.hex'   button  to save Your Custom keymap.    (4)   ;)   
-  Unplug the USB cable,  Press Q,  and Load Your custom keymap to Your PCB. 
   (as you did before in the  'A. How to Update the Firmware and KeyMaps')
-  Congrat!    Happy Mapping!      >:D   

[attach=4]



C.   How to SW Macro?

-  Same as  above.   :o
Save and
backup  Your current keymap.  >:D 
-  Load keymapper  [attach=5]   or, go to   http://boot.winkeyless.kr/bootMapper (http://boot.winkeyless.kr/bootMapper) ,  MacOS   :  https://www.dropbox.com/s/dy2gty3yx567ur8/bootMapperClient.zip?dl=0 (https://www.dropbox.com/s/dy2gty3yx567ur8/bootMapperClient.zip?dl=0)
-  Go to  >   Custom Macro  Tab  menu
-  Load Your Current or standard Keymap.       
-  Try it Yourself,  as we know, Macro is a pretty thing.    :-*

Just answering my own question since sprit PM'd me. I misread his PM--acrylic _cases_ mostly met MOQ so I got the white/black/white I ordered. The _plates_ are mostly clear though (because of MOQ and production issues?)

Hi Sprit!

I'm looking forward to your hardware remapping guide. In the meantime, I've written up a guide (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=40501.msg1229605#msg1229605) that works on OS X and should work on Linux as well – I was having trouble getting the Windows tooling to work. Quoted here:

Okay! I've had some success with hardware key remapping of Sprit's FaceW 60% PCB. I haven't managed to reflash the firmware though, which means that certain clever stuff like arbitrary function layers and dual-action keys aren't possible (I don't think), but this is a huge step up from not being able to to type a backtick yesterday.

The following technique is taken from this page (http://winkeyless.kr/46). It uses a plain-text buffer as a primitive command prompt.

Steps to remap keys at the hardware level on a FaceW PCB:

Step 0. Unplug the USB cable from keyboard you're remapping to your computer.

Step 1. Open Notepad (Windows) or TextEdit (OS X, click "New Document").

Step 2. On the keyboard you're remapping, hold down M and plug the USB cable back in. The following should be printed in your text buffer:

Code: [Select]
ps2avrU

select mode
1:Key Mapping
2:Macro
3:Exit
4:boot mapper
Input Command Number:

Step 3. We're only going to be dealing with Key Mapping (the only thing I've figured out), so enter the code for Key Mapping. (In my case, this was 1, but the site occasionally shows different numbers, so YMMV.) Something like the following will be displayed:

Code: [Select]
Key Mapper
1: Change Layer
2: Select Key - input keycode
3: Save and Exit
4: Exit without Saving
6: Back
9: Reset to Default (Current Layer)
>>

A quick run down of the important options: 1 will change the function layer you're mapping (the default is the normal layer) and 2 will allow you to remap a key in your current layer. The rest are self-explanatory.

Step 4. Let's remap a key (CapsLock to L-Ctrl). Enter 2 and you'll be prompted to press the key you want to remap. Press CapsLock. You'll then be prompted to enter the 3-digit key code you want to remap it to. Using this spreadsheet (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ah1Lcjc-gPfndGRJN1JGVUFuOGxkQnVwdm9OLVZYb2c&usp=sharing#gid=0), identify the correct 3-digit code. In our case, L-Ctrl is 103.

Step 5. You're now back in the menu from Step 3. Enter 3 to Save and Exit.

Step 6. Unplug your keyboard, plug it back it, and verify that the remapping was successful.

If you learn more about this process, please let me know and I'll add it to this post. Thanks!

To build a board you'd need the following:
1x X% PCB $50 or $55
1x 90 MX Switches $45
1x Cherry Stabilizers Xpcs $10ish
1x X% Acryl Case $80ish
1x Assembly service $45


Obviously the only other things you'd need are keycaps and a suitable USB cable.

Total cost: $230 or similar depending on configuration

I'm after an assembled 60% board, too. (My Pure--for some reason less loved than Poker--is pretty close to perfection as it is, but this board really goes the extra mile all around.) I don't know how many Cherry stabilizers to order, though, and Sprit's order form says they're currently out of stock. Assuming GB2 hasn't sailed yet, should I order without stabilizers? Order with a note to assemble the board after stabilizers are available? Try to install stabilizers myself?

Anyone who bought an extra set of PCB mounted stabilizers with a 7x spacebar willing to part it out?

Please let me know T___T.

from what I gather the stabilizers are plate mount, and thus need to be put in at the same time as switches or else won't fit, so yeah I guess your best bet is hanging on for stabilizers or ordered stabilizers and keyboard bits and get someone local to assemble!

Yeah this was concerning to me too. I am leaning towards jumping in on IMSTO's aluminium plate GB round 2, as it says it includes Cherry stabs.

Not sure if Sprit will resupply.

So if I am to look at putting together what is essentially a Pure, but with the sprits programability  (Yay for more OSX compatibility), and to use a poker/pure case.

Would I be correct to "order" the following with the google docs form?

- 1x Sprit PCB
- PCB colour (black)
- Plate - 1.6mm Alum - whats the differences with the thicknesses? is there a reason for going 4mm alum vs 1.6mm alum?
- Plate colour (gun metal)
- Cherry MX Brown 90 pcs
- Orange LED 110 pcs and White LED 110pcs
- Stabilisers - Out of stock… what would I normally be ordering? 5pcs?   I hear that a new GB will be organised at some stage :)
- No case - Does this PCB fit a pure/poker case? or will I Need to buy one of the cases in this thread?
- No assembly - I am assuming the PCB comes with all its SMD components, resistors, diodes soldered onto the board already? If its not, all SMD components are included with the PCB right?

I have been trying to find where this information is ion this thead, and I've been scanning through the pages in this thread. Apologies if my late night searching has not been as effective as it should be...

i'm not sure about the available colours, but it's subjected to whether that particular colour u want meets the MOQ or not. from some of his pictuers, i can see there's red, sky blue, frost, clear and black, but that's for round 1.
the plates allows u to swap switch stem or springs without having to desolder them.

I think you'll only get resistors if you also ordered LEDs. If you ordered LEDs they will be specific to the colour of LED you ordered!

I did not order a 75% this round, but seeing that the kc84 does not work with the sprit 75%, I will probally buy a pcb, case, and plate from you in r2. Did you ever consider making more layouts for the 75% pcb?

We are almost there for the Round 1 shipping,  But as I posted, PCB soldering remains, Each inspection, final check, Packing, check for the each Person's order, etc...  take much  longer time than expected.   I am sending simple parts orders, but even packing into boxes take quite efforts for me. 
I guess sending 10 Boxes a day is not possible for me.  :(     
Big Apology!!

Thanks Sprit. Most important would be all the stuff are there. :D
I know there are lots of addition after the initial order.

Hope your 2nd production of springs is going well too.

Is it possible we can request ours unsoldered and solder them ourselves?

Yes. I am doing this to try to take some pressure off Sprit.  I need the soldering practice.  :)  Do be aware though that the diodes are SMD, so you need to be reasonably comfortable with a soldering iron.

The 60% FaceW PCB board also supports through-hole diodes...but only SMD resistors (for use with LEDS):

1. Completely depends on personal preference. Both are good IMO.
2. It depends on whether the plate supports PCB mount stab. Plate for customized keyboard usually support PCB mount stab.

Im using it for a custom board. Ex: gh60, sprit.....

I just wanted to get an idea of how compatible everything is.

Does anyone know what kind of spacebar I need for my 75% keyboard?
I never had a KC84 so I can't tell whether it is Cherry type, Filco/Ducky OEM type or something entirely different.

Sorry, for bothering you again, but could you tell me how an acrylic plate feels compared to a metal plate like I asked in my PM?
Anyways, don't strain yourself too hard, man, I hate to work overfatigued!

This New Version of ANSI + ISO 75% support  ALL Type!   That's Why They are developed for GH.
Model 1  60%  75%  87%  110% PCBs support  win /winkeyless,  Cherry / Filco / Ducky ... bottom layouts,
as in the 1st Page (OP),   or   http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=50580.msg1179292#msg1179292 (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=50580.msg1179292#msg1179292)

My very personal Taste is :
I hate popular flat thin Alu custom plates for too noisy, 
love side bent Alu and Steel plates for less noise and stability,
may like thin Acryl plates for less noisy and softer  -  than thin Alu ones,
love thick Acryl plates for softness and certain stability.

Really agree of how much has sprit put more than he could to this GB,

This was the result when I try to dig deeper from the package sent to me,

(https://z-n.ak.fbcdn.net/sphotos-c.ak/hphotos-ak-ash3/t1.0-9/10169294_10202130838856659_597361292_n.jpg)

The box was huge but was too light. After opening the box, there is a smaller box inside it and I was like, "hey is it a joke? a puzzle? or a prank? Boxception? Sprit is there any end of it?." In the smaller box there located the treasure behold, stabs lubes and switches has different box, the pcb is fully wrapped with bubble wrap. I have to fight the jungle of bubble wrap and alas!!!

I tried to count the springs but stop after the count of 8, haha, how much more of an order of more than 100.

After the unboxing, it made me realize how much sprit give his all to this gb.

Thank you so much sprit. More power to you.

Hello Guys!   :) 

I am learning again : All parts need human efforts to sort, count, inspect, return, order again, pack, lable...
Ready made parts are better : SWs, LEDs, Resistors... but need same procedure to pack into a each set.
Custom made Parts are monsters  : lots of manufacturing bugs, material issues...  Much more efforts to Control Qualities.  ;)
Have a Nice Weekend!  ;)

Hello Guys!   :) 

I am learning again : All parts need human efforts to sort, count, inspect, return, order again, pack, lable...
Ready made parts are better : SWs, LEDs, Resistors... but need same procedure to pack into a each set.
Custom made Parts are monsters  : lots of manufacturing bugs, material issues...  Much more efforts to Control Qualities.  ;)
Have a Nice Weekend!  ;)

Thanks for your efforts. Hope everything would turn out well. Quality is more important than speed. ;)

Hey Sprit!

Just wondering if my package will be delivered by the end of April? Because I will move out from that address on end of April....PM me and I'll send you my new address if you don't think my package will be delivered on time...my orders are all from 1st round.

Thanks!

Really agree of how much has sprit put more than he could to this GB,

This was the result when I try to dig deeper from the package sent to me,

The box was huge but was too light. After opening the box, there is a smaller box inside it and I was like, "hey is it a joke? a puzzle? or a prank? Boxception? Sprit is there any end of it?." In the smaller box there located the treasure behold, stabs lubes and switches has different box, the pcb is fully wrapped with bubble wrap. I have to fight the jungle of bubble wrap and alas!!!

I tried to count the springs but stop after the count of 8, haha, how much more of an order of more than 100.

After the unboxing, it made me realize how much sprit give his all to this gb.

Thank you so much sprit. More power to you.


- sorry for the potato pic

Sprit, you're actually the best. I'm happy to patiently wait for all my goodies.

I received half of my order from the springs GB.

Packing each individual order takes a long time to do. Counting springs, switches, stabilizers all take up lots of time. Then, you have to bubble wrap everything and fill out EMS customs forms... Sprit probably has over 100 orders, and there's only so much 1 person can do. Patience, and you will receive. :)

He is smd soldering a bunch of the boards because the moq was not hit for it to be done by the factory.  I am sure that is much more daunting than originally anticipated.

That's true, but maybe it would have been more sensible to hold off on running a buy on springs until he completed these 1st round shipments. It seems that 1st round shipments are being delayed as a result of the separate springs GB.

Hello!  Dear Keymaster!  ;)
Yes! You are right!   ;)    I had expected the separate spring GB should have a small effect on the PCB + Case + ..shipment, but had more.

The reason Why I had decided that separate GB and The Results are ;
- In the 1st GB, quite a lot of people ordered only springs (and small parts), the EMS shipping cost were too much,  I needed a Solution.
- The production MOQ for the springs were much higher than the real sum of 1st orders, this separate GB had filled the gaps.
- I have a really good chance for the full inspection, and found lots of defective ones I did not noticed, selected them out.
- But the orders for this separate GB were more than expected, Yes, it has delayed the PCB shipping to a certain degree.
- So I have closed it and will not run again for a while.

Really Sorry for this !!!  :(    :)

Just to double check, if we ordered springs with our initial order, those are still coming then, right?  I know I was invoiced for them and paid, they're just waiting to ship with the PCB, correct?

Yes!  Right!   Nubbinator!   ;)        You Guys orders : PCB + parts +.. (18K Springs, too) will ship together as scheduled!

What I am mentioning above is ;   There are people who ordered only springs and small parts in the 1st round...
and I had a good chance for the full inspection for all, and found lots of defective ones I did not noticed, selected them out...
But it had a effect on the delay at a large scale...

Sorry forgot to mention it was the 87% I was talking about. I don't think it fits into Filcos cause the usb port on the sprit pcb is on the far left while the Filco has its port in the middle

I'm not sure about the 1.5, but I think the 4mm aluminum is too deep to remove switchtops -- they're completely buried in there. And yes, as has been discussed, it's HEAVY and also stiff -- this has ramifications that entice some, and repulse others.

It seems like custom gold plated springs, PCB mount stabilizers and MX Clear switches are out of stock in R2.

So are there just stock switches [red/blue/brown/black] and no different weight springs? We get plate mount stabilizers? Are they Cherry or Costar? I don't know much about stabilizers. Thanks for your time.

I said PCB mount stabilizers.  :p The majority of Korean boards use PCB mount.
And yes, only the "standard" switches are available. Plus, I don't think you will be lacking any custom springs :P

According to pictures sprit has provided it looks like its switch removable. You should also be able to use another plate for the 60% such as a beast plate! Just remember if you use leds in your switches you cant remove them either way.

Firstly, yes the acrylic plate seems to support it, I was just wondering about the aluminum ones, I should have been more clear.

Second on the topic of LEDs, I was under the impression that through the magic of modification, you could mod switches to allow for LEDs and removal, by removing the LED ring thingy.  As shown in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEAzBbVU-yE (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEAzBbVU-yE)

Third, what are SIP headers and how do they relate to this?  Please enlighten me, I am new to this.  (Yes I googled it, nothing helpful)

Sip sockets

Ah thank you.  Very interesting.

Does the plate allow for switch removal without desoldering? Could I use another 60% plate with this PCB?

According to pictures sprit has provided it looks like its switch removable. You should also be able to use another plate for the 60% such as a beast plate! Just remember if you use leds in your switches you cant remove them either way.

Unless you use SIP sockets, which I will be using on this board and would recommend.

Of course not all sip sockets are made to fit keyboards but many do like these ones: http://www.ebay.com/itm/3Pcs-Single-Row-40Pin-2-54mm-Round-Female-Pin-Header/140910386490?_trksid=p2052191.m2067&_trkparms=aid%3D555003%26algo%3DPW.CAT%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D23%26meid%3D3295674393841359663%26pid%3D100028%26prg%3D1009%26rk%3D4%26rkt%3D15%26sd%3D221186042943%26 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/3Pcs-Single-Row-40Pin-2-54mm-Round-Female-Pin-Header/140910386490?_trksid=p2052191.m2067&_trkparms=aid%3D555003%26algo%3DPW.CAT%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D23%26meid%3D3295674393841359663%26pid%3D100028%26prg%3D1009%26rk%3D4%26rkt%3D15%26sd%3D221186042943%26) They are confirmed to work!

Shouldn't frosty be white in color, not blue? If you look in the OP, Sprit posted a pic called "1A 60% mini White 23 .jpg".. I think that top layer is frosty.

I'd link the pic, but i have no clue how :[

I just had another thought - does the teensy alignment on the PCB line up with the hole on the Poker II case? And what kind of teensy should I order for this anyways for that matter? (Model number)

Sorry first time ever building a board, and I have an extra Poker case lying around that I want to use but no experience whatsoever :p

Oh. So then all I would have to do is
1. solder in diodes
2. put a few switches in the plate and solder those to the pcb
3. put rest of switches in, soldering as a go

and if I wanted to make the whole keyboard backlit, I would solder switches in first, and then the LEDs?

Yes. Switch first, then LEDs. But if you want LED, you will have to solder resistors before you solder switches.

Because... I'm dumb? Because that's the order I usually do it. And after a second thought I realize the resistors are on the back of PCB and there's nothing to prevent you from soldering resistors even if you have plate and switches in place. My bad.

Are invoices for Round 2 going to be sent out after MOQ has been met?
Yes!   when the most of the Round 1 shipped out. 
I am trying all shippiments to be nice and clean.

Round 2 will be. Round 1 was supposed to be but didn't meet MOQ for factory soldering so Sprit and his team are doing the SMD soldering by hand. That's part of the reason round 1 has stretched so long.

Are there resistors for all the switches? Or just caps lock/numlock, etc.

Case Inspection almost done  -  I will post the Results.

-  It's Laser cut & CNC machined - Not perfect at all, but tried to get better within limits. 
-  Cases will be shipped out full assembled -  I found it's much harder to pack unassembled.
-  The PCB only Orders will be shipped first,  then PCB +Case shipping.

What sort of layouts does the 60% PCB support? Will it support a Pure layout, with a shortened right shift, and alt, super, fn, and ctrl all on the bottom row right of the spacebar?  Also around when should we expect to see the round 2 PCBs shipping?

The bottom row layout could be either 1.25 1.25 1.25 6.25 1.25 1.25 1.25 1.25 or 1.5 1 1.5 7 1.5 1 1.5. So basically winkey layout and winkeyless layout. The right shift could either be 1.75 + 1 or 2.75.

Maybe? But We haven't seen anything outside of the 60% stuff.  I'd wait until things have been officially announced/pics shown.  There's supposed to be alps compatibility at some point too.  sprit's a busy guy, so who knows when all the aspects of this buy will see light...

Whoops im wrong. Only unassembled as been shipped so far, so I wasn't aware of full assembly

full assembly is $45, so just add that onto the price of the parts you want

Kind of similar, but looks a lot cooler IMO because its on the underside and the acrylic does a nice job of dispersing the lot.

Yeah. How do I add that to my order of assembly?

EDIT: I hate to be a pest, but I told myself I would get at least one custom board and the acrylic one was on the top of my list from images I saw the first time I came to GH. If anyone out there has a few minutes where they could assist me with filling out a GB form (I don't know what some of the stuff is), I would really appreciate it.

I really don't mean to be annoying, but someone walking me through it would also help me understand some of the items for future reference.

Actually, I have it mostly figured out.

Just two quick questions, what does "*Auto Multi- 7 Color LED 20pcs = 10USD" mean for the LED options?

I also noticed Clear switches are not listed as an option. Clear switches are available on one of the vendor site. If I supply them and have them shipped to you, can you assemble the board with them?

Thanks for getting back to me man. Yeah, I am filling out the 2nd order sheet.

Since you have clears I will put that in the switch option. As for the multi-color LED, do I choose what keys the multi color LEDs will go on? Or is that for the full board? Also, will I have the ability to change the color via keyboard or software?

One last question. I would like this affect as a programmable option:

Does this just happen when choosing transparent as the bottom piece of the Acrylic case?

Hello!  OntheBrink!    ;)
So sorry!  I was working at office,   Congrat!!   You ve figured it out!    :thumb:
Auto color changing  7 multicolor LEDs are as in the    http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=50580.msg1327803#msg1327803 (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=50580.msg1327803#msg1327803)

I got very few sets of the Clear SWs,  need to find a way for the Next.
The GB Round 2 is waiting for the MOQ now, Not Invoiced yet.     It will be much more organized.   I will post When it is ready to kick off !  ;)

Thanks for getting back to me man. Yeah, I am filling out the 2nd order sheet.

Since you have clears I will put that in the switch option. As for the multi-color LED, do I choose what keys the multi color LEDs will go on? Or is that for the full board? Also, will I have the ability to change the color via keyboard or software?

One last question. I would like this affect as a programmable option:
feature=player_embedded

Does this just happen when choosing transparent as the bottom piece of the Acrylic case?

That effect is independent of what material the case is made of. You could have an aluminum case if you wanted but still have that effect (although that would be pretty pointless).

Right, that's what I meant that the clear will allow it to show. Does that mean all LED boards will have this affect as a programmable option? If so, that would be awesome. I am imagining he is programming different lighting functions into the board like Ducky does?

The only thing that kind of still confuses me is the multi LEDs. It says 20 pieces. Does that mean I choose which keys can change colors or can I just make it the entire board (but every 20 pieces are $10 as opposed to 110 pieces at $10)

The multi leds are really expensive, which is why 20 is $10

Multi LEDs are LEDs that cycle through colors. You cannot control them.

Also, not all LED keyboards can lightup like that. You need to have the right controller on the keyboard.

If anyone of my terminology or information was incorrect, please correct me - I have never built a keyboard before and got all my information just by reading and watching a lot of videos about soldering.

   Two questions, please.
   1) how much is the PCB, can’t see a price tag?
   2) can I get an estimate price, e. g.:
      0$(?) 75% PCB, White
      22$ 75% Plate, Acryl 5mm, Lime
      80$ 75% Acryl Case
      10$ LED High Bright, 110pcs (with Resistors), White
      45$ Cherry MX Blue, 90pcs
      45$ Assemble and Test Service
   makes together 202$, plus some shipping (I live in Germany) and other costs, so I probably end up with 250$ all inclusive, right?

Wherever it says USD it means United States Dollar and that is the price.

In the OP it states that the price is $50 for a 60% or 75% PCB

Post by: Lubed Up Slug on Wed, 14 May 2014, 00:34:41
assuming that you add $50 for getting it to you or whatever then yes.  Also it should be noted that since almost all of the components on this board are presoldered you could assemble it yourself and skip out on the assembly fee.  All you would have to do is solder in the switches and LEDs and then put the pcb and plate in the case.  I am sure there is a guide around here somewhere about how to do it, but if you don't mind a little bit of DIY you should look into it.  You could also try to source the switches and LEDs yourself, considering that it might make getting the stuff to you a little cheaper.

yes, you could assemble it yourself, ...also:
You better not forget stabilizers (which are currently unavailable) and keycaps (I know it can be difficult as hell to get german caps for a custom board).

Sure!  It supports standard Winkey layout.
Costar stab are excluded in the 4mm, 5mm plates for it's thickness,  and in 1.6mm plates for my stupidness.

Would have, but according to how sprit seems to be managing this, my order will most likely be one of the last to ship. I have 2 87s, and 2 full size boards. Bunch of different plates, switches, and case designs. Should have ordered some more extra colors though.

On a side note, anyone know what type of resistors I need to buy? What about for multi-color LED? Am I correct in thinking that all keys support multi color LEDS?

I posted pictures of actually the same board earlier.  This is only a 60% but that is kind of what it would look like.  It doesn't realy give you much of an idea because you probably won't use those caps, and you won't have that case, but the PCBs will be similar, I guess.



Here are some pictures someone posted on reddit a few days ago of a completed board

These PCBs look amazing!!!  They are super solid and they are stunning to look at.  I could not be happier with the quality of these boards.  Very excited to start building these...

I have to wait for my PCB holding Panavise head to arrive so I can get soldering, but that should arrive in the next day or two.  I opted to do all my own SMD soldering, so this should be some good practice.

Be patient everyone.  Sprit is doing a fabulous job here and he is producing absolutely beautiful boards.  You will not be disappointed with your purchases.

If it could only load the hex file, that could be a good start.

Is there anyway to address that sprit? Can you ask someone to check that feature? Or it is not the way I understood that button?

I wish I could help but I can't speak korean though. Looking at the bootmapper I think it has some bug. The button "load keymap_part.hex" should be able to load the hex from this http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=50580.msg1256970#msg1256970, but when I try to load it and it always say invalid file type. If it could only load the hex file, that could be a good start.

Is there anyway to address that sprit? Can you ask someone to check that feature? Or it is not the way I understood that button?

Which .hex file did you try loading?

When I tested, keymain_GKP.hex wasn't "a valid keymap", but keymap_part(a87_V03)(a87U)(mxminiU)(a87UEX).hex was

My guess is that keymain_GKP.hex is, in fact, not a valid keymap. It might be some other firmware to make the keyboard work. In particular he said "GKP = ghost key protected" so it probably does stuff like debouncing or other code that's necessary for the keyboard to work. Anyways, seems like a promising route to modify the actual sample keymap hex file (keymap_part...) and then load that as the instructions describe in the post you linked.

Thanks for your doubt I have narrowed down the problem. Apparently it must have something to do with my flash player. Tried on a different machine and it is working fine now. This is the file that loads fine, keymap_part(a87_V03)(a87U)(mxminiU)(a87UEX).hex. Thanks again.

Thanks guys! SMD soldering isn't that bad. I find it easiest to solder one end of the SMD, reheat and realign if needed, and then solder the other end.

Of course proper tools and equipment make things easier.

Yup! On my ErgoDox builds I'd do all the SMDs one side first, and then come back and do the other side. Muuuuch faster.

2. Software Key Mapping using Boot Mapper GUI

3. Flashing Firmware / Keymap / Macro

4. Hardware Key Mapping
     4.1 Lazy FN

Hey Sprit,

Updated my order according to the new developments  :D

Is the metal case design more or less finalised then? Can we really mix and match with acrylic? Is it ok to order a selection of just the middle layers in acrylic for example, to add to the case later?

Hello! MrChunky!   ;)

The Uniform Bottom Flatform is actully the key in my concept.  It shares all the dimensions and holes with Metal and Acrylic.
The Metal design shares the Bottom Flatform Layer with Acrylic, as You guys seen!  :)
The Metal versions need to be finalized for the corner and edge angles.   It is 2- or 3- layered, You can mix the Layers with any material (metal, Acrylic, or any in the future)
  I will show 2-layered  Model 2 Cases for Round 2 very soon,  looking a little bit slim (hight : Model 1 (28mm),  Model 2 = (21mm),  sharing the Bottom and Middle Layer with Model 1 too! 
Model 1  & 2 Cases will be available Always, all together.   ;) 

I am focusing on Round 1 Shipping, it will end soon hopely!  :)    When each order is ready to ship, I will message each of You, so dont worry please!   :-* :-*

Oh... whoops I was always under the impression that 75% keyboards were TKL for some reason.  :rolleyes:

Where exactly does the plate sit in an acrylic place? (Is it between top and middle or middle and bottom? or is there no plate and the middle one serves as the plate...?)

Allo!  moreen!  ;)
You need  PCB, Switch, Case, (Plate), Stabilizer,  in my opinion.
With the 105 keycaps, You may need the Controle, Alt, and Spacebar in proper size for Quebecois.
The keypad will work OK,  as in the other ISO layout.  ( I will test it with French keycaps and OS language input,  I will tell You)

Hey Sprit!

Just wondering are the plates still under production? My order was in 1st round, has a 60% plate, 2 cases (1x60% 1x80%) and 1  60%PCB.

No hurries, just making sure they're on their way!

Keep up the good work!

Acryl Case ! - All Laser & CNC machined

What is this top plate? A plate to match key layout, like HHKB's one? I also don't understand the difference between Model 1 and Model 2.
Quote
* Model 1 (70USD) / Model 2 (58USD + Top Plate $22)

Which acrylic finish is less glossy? Matte or smooth?

Also, from where this item will be shipped and is there a way to calculate shipping prices?

The PCB and Case will be relatively easy as we know.
But in my opinion, the major Obstacles are,
- Switches  :  I am afraid a possible mass muder of old Alps keyboard to harvest the Old Alps Switches, like alps Pink, Blue, Orange.
                      As I posted last time, I have sampled some Taiwanese Alps compatible simplified switches(including linear, non-clicky), the price and quality seems ok, but the MOQ is 50,000.
- Stabilizers, Keycaps  :  need to meet the MOQ.

If someone wants to harvest all the parts from used Alps boards,  in that case, what we need are PCBs and cases.
As the Alps Custom keyboards are one of my goal,  I will try on this project!

And keycaps. It is not trivial to find alps keycaps that will fit a modern layout (from what I can find anyway). It would suck to finally get everything built and working and not be able to use it because you can't find keycaps. Maybe others know where we could get a set of alps caps for a modern layout?

Nice remind!  Thanks  BlueBear!  :thumb:   

Some Old Taiwanese Alps Compatible Makers have medium-thick keycap Modern 87 winkey moulds, I have been contacting them.
I have not seen Taihao moulds,  Matias caps are thin, as I seen in Matias keyboards.
and the Switch samples need to be evaluated by GH members before the Groupbuy. 
I just become afraid of mass Mudering of Vintage Alps keyboard for harvesting, and also I am aware, this might be a small excuse.

So, how close are we to finishing up R1 PCBs?  I just realized we are 7 months in with only a few (SMD-less) boards shipped.  Can we get a percentage done?  I understand the time it takes to do the SMD soldering, but it would be nice to know where things stand.  When I paid for shipping months ago, I thought we were almost there... Could we perhaps a total of boards (60/75/110) ordered in R1, and how many left to fill MOQ for R2?  Thanks!

Normally PCBs shouldn't have anything hanging over? What kind of PCB did you try to put in your Pure case?

My Pure Pro has the stabs on the spacebar hanging over for some reason.

That is weird, normally the stabilizer wire should be towards the inside, at least on the 60%s I have seen. This is the case with sprit's PCB, too.

Well at least I am going to sell my pure pro to a friend after my sprit gets shipped to me.

So, how close are we to finishing up R1 PCBs?  I just realized we are 7 months in with only a few (SMD-less) boards shipped.  Can we get a percentage done?  I understand the time it takes to do the SMD soldering, but it would be nice to know where things stand.  When I paid for shipping months ago, I thought we were almost there... Could we perhaps a total of boards (60/75/110) ordered in R1, and how many left to fill MOQ for R2?  Thanks!

+1

This is really starting to drag out longer than most would have expected.

Hello!  blightly   ;)
You ordered  1 75% PCB, and 1 87% PCB (changed to 75% later),  and paid shipping on 20th Jan.
SO Sorry!  I am going to ship 2 PCBs  Next Monday! 
 
Lest of Diodes soldering is the major factor on Round 1 Now. :(
I am doing focusing on this.    around 50 persons left to ship.    I feel so guilty !   :-X :-\ :-\

In the Round 1,  The failure of PCB MOQs resulted in Manual soldering,  I waited and tried to gather more orders till mid January.
and The Inspection and Reproductions for some parts took a long long time.   I am so sad.     Apology!!!  >:D
I will try my best to ship out the remaining R1 orders, as soon as possible!!!  >:D
 
In the Round 2,  I will try to gather enough for the MOQs, if Not,  I will drop it or try to fill it.   This may boost the whole speed.
The Process of Inspecting and Sorting Parts and Springs are much improved during R1, I guess it will be much faster (max. 1 months)
The Small parts are already organized to be ready for Round 2.

Sorry for the delayed reply!   ;)
Would You please put a small Spacer piece (plastic would better) into between the Toes of Stabs (under the PCB) ?   
It will help to prevent the PCB-mount Stabs hang over the PCB. 

(added)
Hope this might a proper answer!!   ;)

Stabs has a proper direction, the sliders too.
and the holes in the PCB are small or Larger for the Stabs.
and Metal wire(bar) should be inserted properly into the sliders.

I have not tried that yet.  You will have to put caps on some switches and then put them in the different holes to see what is possible.  That is how I figured out what holes I should be using for the layout I wanted...  That was with my 60% pcb though, I have not started working on my 75% yet.

From what I can tell it looks like it's made for 1.25, 1, 1.25, or 1.75, 1.75. Darn! I wanted to make this layout as keycap-set friendly as possible. :)

Yes!  You are right!   ;) 
As we know, there are some limits on the Bottom Row layouts :  Total  should be 15x,  6x,  6.25x,  7x Spacebars, etc.
75% MX-mini layout has been  1.25x 1x 1.25x 6.25x 1.25x 1x1x (1x1x1)  Winkey,   1.5x 1.5x 7x 1.5x 1.5x (1x1x1) Winkeyless for several years.
 
Another popular 75% layout also needs 1x caps at the bottom  :   1.25x 1.25x 1.25x 6.25x 1.25x1x (1.25x1.25x1.25),  and  three more 1.25x  at R-shift.

Yes it seems so! But no problems on the 1.25 part, since any of the numpad r1 keys in a normal keycap set can work as windowskey.

I think I've decided to go with this layout for now:
(http://i.imgur.com/dSEeM0O.jpg)
The only "problem" with this is that the left shift is a very unorthodox size (R1 1.75x, caps lock size, but a row down).

Alternatively I could do it like this:
(http://i.imgur.com/vQAUlAI.jpg)
Which has the normal ISO right shift, then the layout would be 100% keycap-set compatible, but I wouldn't get the arrow-key cluster on the right.

Decisions, decisions!

First time building a keyboard. A bit confused right now as I'm overwhelmed with options (don't get me wrong, I love this).

I love that exposed key switch/keycap look in your previous picture, but I'd like to do with a metal case. Is that possible?

Also, can I combine the acrylic plate with the metal case?

Lastly, you say the 5mm acrylic plate is "stronger and quieter", is that in relationship to the aluminum plate?

Love the keyboard, hope to order soon.

I think you need a tsangan kit, or kbt race compatible keycap set. I think the G80-18** also have that size.

Hello!    Swill!    ;)
Sorry!   I am busy w diodes soldering to ship!
This is Not enough ?    http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=50580.msg1256970#msg1256970 (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=50580.msg1256970#msg1256970)    ;)

That should be good. I will post if I have problems. We should probably put that link in the OP so it is easy to find. Thx... :)

How did you manage that?? I mean sure, PCB mount stabilizers break fairly easy but still, three of them in a row?

I was overexcited/hamfisted? I try to push it in and the side that holds the wire gives/snaps and goes flying.  Good ole IMSTO stabs.  At least they come with both  6.2x and 7x spacebar wires.  The other stabs went in more or less okay, but the enter is making me waste parts... Think I'll watch a couple episodes of Sidonia No Kishi then try again.

edit:  after a short break, i realized that the stab wire is on the top of the ANSI enter key, instead of the bottom of the switches, like the spacebar and backspace stabs.

yeah, a lot of the korean keyboards (and some cherry I think maybe?) do this. You have to be careful.

Thanks for the heads-up!

I was being gentle, but I was very confused as to why my stabs were not fitting when I first tried to put them in.  Luckily I inspected the stab and the holes to realize that one was larger than the other and I was trying to put them in backwards.  Sorry you broke so many learning this.  :(  I consider myself lucky now...

I have spares and a couple of donor boards, so it's not too bad.  I like object lessons I can walk away from.  Anyone know the stock location for the lock LEDs?

Typing on my sprit 60% right now.  I have to say I am pretty pleased with it.  I did a bit of a strange switch/spring combo on this board because I wanted to try something different.  I used mx browns with a 68g spring.  The best way I can describe it is pretty much right between a brown and a black.  When I type quickly I don't notice the bump at all, but there is something about how the key falls away a bit after the bump that makes my hands still feel that its there.  The spring is not quite as heavy as a black, but it is definitely heavier than standard brown springs.  It almost feels linear, but there is something about it that feels more comfortable than linear to me.  I had a hard time with linear switches because I never really knew how far to press the switch.

I will use this as my daily driver for a while and see how it plays out.  I am still getting used to using the HHKB arrow keys with this Pure layout.  We will see how quickly I get the hang of it when I am coding cause that is where this layout will make or break for me.

My 75% will probably be with mx clear switches and 65g springs.  I think that is going to be pretty nice as well.  We will see...

Hello Sprit, how's the packing progress please? If the shipping delays because of the resistors soldering, maybe I could do the soldering myself. ;D

Standard surface mount resistors right? I assume I could do it as I'm able to solder SMD diodes for Ergodox. Recently learnt how to do.

Sprit is super busy, give him some time.

I know but it's been so many months.. And he seems to be answering some people's pms at least.
If only he made a google doc with shipping status he would save so much time and don't have to waste time on shipping status pms.
I know he will come through but the lack of info still bothers me.

Maybe some of you could answer if the 4mm plate was delayed?

Yes, the 4mm aluminum plates have been slightly delayed since some colours had a hard time meeting MOQ in round 1. So he's seeing if round 2 could help with MOQ on aluminum plates.

The delays are pretty minor. If you were in the GH60 GB you would know what REAL delays are.

This is the first time sprit has done this and there are a lot of moving parts he has to account for. He is doing a great job, but it is taking a little longer than he had hoped.

I have started my build, and thought i would give a heads up to anyone wishing to do SIP Socket mod to switches and planning on getting the acrylic plate. There does notseem to be enough clearance from the SIP socket pins to solder to the PCB.

Not sure if there are alternative SIP Sockets that may fit, but the one i have, and seem pretty standard are not long enough. I am most likely going to be looking for a thinner alu plate in its place.

They worked fine for me.  The end of the legs on the sip sockets were basically flush with the bottom of the PCB before I soldered them on.  I was able to touch both the leg of the sip socket and the trace on the PCB without any issue.  It soldered up pretty nicely...

I don't have a good picture of it (other than just the final pictures of the case where you can see what it looks like), but here is my build log (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=58969.msg1349714#msg1349714)...

It may be worth noting that I also removed the entire housing of my sip sockets before installing them in the switch.  Not sure if that will make a difference, but I suspect it might...

Edit: This is the best picture I have of it soldered up.

We should ask sprit to post how close he is to moq. I know he is focusing on getting round one soldered up and shipped right now.

He needs a higher moq for round two I think so the factory pre solders everything for him.

I suspect round two is still a ways off from shipping.

Perhaps to meet the MOQ for the round 2 PCBs he should offer only one color.  Personally I don't care too much about the color of the PCB because ideally it won't be exposed in the final product.

That is a good suggestion actually. I don't think very many people care too much about the pcb color, especially if it reduces turn around time.

No, I would not worry about that at all.  You will put an LED in it before you solder (TRUST ME, DO THIS!!!), so when you solder the spacing will be fixed wide enough that it will never short.

Used these before on 2 other boards, without problem at all, except I had to position the pins carefully before closing the switch top.

Hey, would this mean that the metal plates/cases won't be produced? Would we be given time to modify our orders if that happens?

Also if we order the model 2 acrylic case with plate layer, we wouldn't need to order a separate plate?

I think your order with either wait till the MOQ is met or you could potentially change your order to only include items which will hit the MOQ.

Don't take my word for it, but that is what I suspect.

It doesn't matter if it's declared it as a gift, as a German you will have to pay 19% fees on anything you import with a value over 22€.

From what I’ve heard now the idea to send it declared as gift isn’t recommended, because customs will become more suspicious then. But “value” is in many cases no objective matter. It’s the sender who declares kind of good and it’s value. If he declares it as “books” with a value of 19.90 € it will likely result in no custom fees.

I'm interested in a 75% SpiRiT, however, I'm a bit confused to as how everything fits together.

There are 3 pieces that make up the case, and 1 piece that makes the plate. Does this mean that the plate is optional, and only necessary if I wanted to plate mount, instead of PCB mount the switches?

May seem like a dumb question, but I'm just trying to visualize how this will look in the end.

Thanks.

What is the current status on orders from last year in the first round?

They are being shipped as sprit finishes up soldering them and putting the orders together. It is a lot of work, so it is taking some time, but he is rocking through it.

Even with the delays due to the excess work sprit took on to make sure every customer is taken care of, this is still one of the fastest GBs for building a board.

From experience, the PCBs are great quality and a joy to work with. You will be happy with your purchase.

Sprit said last week he was not feeling well and would ship my order this week.

Stuff is progressing so I guess we should be patient. My order consists of different items and probably that's why it took longer time. Once received, I'm taking day off from work to assemble it. :D

Ya, I actually didn't find the shipping to be very expensive considering how quickly it arrived.  It took less than a week if I remember correctly.  It takes almost everything that I have shipped from the US longer than that.  It also came with a tracking number which was very nice.

Sprit, you may want to specify how close the 75%, 87% and 110% are to hitting MOQ where everything could be factory pre-soldered.  I have seen in other GBs that if that information is available the community rallies around those numbers to push them up to the MOQ.  Might be worth it to update that status every couple weeks.

Sprit - Orders for round 2 60% boards should expect invoice over the next few days if I read the update right?

There were a few changes we discussed but as you are a super busy guy you may not remember, should I submit a new order or wait and see if the invoice is correct then can inform of any changes if needed?

Thanks

Hi Sprit,

Does the Acrylic with matte finish doesn't easily get scratch?

Not get easily scratched  by fingers or nails,  IMO.   ;)  

Smooth  finish is more Fragile, delicate, more Transparent, so it can be more Beatiful in certain Combos, as We know.   ;) 

I have been trying to get Better Acrylic materials, and Better Color and Qualities.   ;)

You mean  lower,  or  narrower?    ;)

Thin,  narrow cases  have  problems  like  Poker II stock case,  as  we see  around.

Model 2, 3   Cases have 8mm thick Bottom  Layer,  as Strong  as  some  Alu cases , IMO.  (* Dont  believe me, Please!)

Model 1 (3-Layered)  Case can be slim down to  Model 2, 3  (2-Layered).
You can take the Top layer off,  and  make it 2-Layerd with small mod.
You can order any Color  layer separately,  Sir!    ;)

As mentioned from R1  Interest check....

Wow! Those are gorgeous! I would love one of the Model 3 Super Slims for my Phantom. Any estimates on pricing? Is black a color option? If so, I would have to decide between two color options, either all black or clear bottom with a black top.

Edit - found the answers to all my questions on the order form. Now I just need to figure out what colors I want  :thumb:

Hi! Xauer!!    I was going  to PM You  ;)   

So Sorry !! for  the Metal  Case  and Plate  !!     :'( :'(   
I have been tried  to  cut the Plates so detailed, the  Result is some 5~8 sharp edges  Around SWs,  Stabs.   :( 
The Factory  says  :  I am too Stupid !  too complicated Plate details.   :-X :'( :'(


-    110% 5mm  Acrylic  Plate is  precisely well made to  my CAD drawings,  especially  detailed :

When You got Acrylic  Plates,  Cases  :

-   Clean up gently  the edges  for dust, with  damping  clothe  or  fine brush.  and Keep it.
-   Only When start to assemble,  Remove  protect film on both sides

Have an invoice for R2, but if I need to change whats ordered, what the best way of going about this. Should I re-submit a order form on google docs? 

I did that for your springs, got an invoice, and paid it right away.

For R2, are the 1.6mm aluminium plates still available? or are these no longer available.

I ask because the Googledocs form no longer has the 1.6mm plates in the list.

It was mentioned that orders fell below the MOQ and couldnt be made. If you look at the order form I think it indicates its not available. :(

Hi, Sprit this is refreshingly awesome!

1) How long can we order?

2) If I wanted a case for a TKL Phantom keyboard, would I get the 87%? Is a TKL 87%?

3) And so no metal cases in R2? Any plans for those in R3 (if there were one)?

Round 2 orders will be open until Saturday, July 26
Yes, the Phantom PCB will fit Sprit's 87% TKL case
Metal cases were cancelled in R1 & R2 due to low MOQ. There might be an appearance in R3.

Sprit will provide PCB mount switches if your order does not contain a plate. You can also leave a comment for PCB mount switches as a reminder.  :)
*he just updated his order form for PCB/Plate type switches

Sprit will also PM/email you for confirmation before sending your order out.

Ok thanks Zeal. And could I just buy a case and supply everything else?

Yes, you're free to order a case by itself. :)

So that means I don't have to desolder if I ever wanna change switches right? Do you think I should get a plate and stop being lazy? Lol.

Sprit's Acrylic plates have extra cutouts to remove switch tops without desoldering. If you'll be swapping springs/stems, might as well get a plate to help with stability, since you'll still be able to remove tops with the plate installed.

Hi! I have a few questions:

1. Is the smokey gray-blue color an option for the acrylic? I see a sample picture on page 1, but it's not an option on the order form.
2. Does the 75% require special keycaps? It seems that it uses the large Iso enter key and other non-ANSI sized keys.
3. Do I need to use PCB mount switches? I have a set of plate-mount clear switches waiting to be used, so it would be nice if I could use plate mounting.
4. Do I choose three layer of acrylic case colors for model 3?
5. Where do I specify if I want model 1, 2, or 3?

Thank you, and I hope I'm not too late to order!

Hi! I have a few questions:

1. Is the smokey gray-blue color an option for the acrylic? I see a sample picture on page 1, but it's not an option on the order form.
Yes, it's available. Mention "Charcoal Gray" in the textbox.
2. Does the 75% require special keycaps? It seems that it uses the large Iso enter key and other non-ANSI sized keys.
Nope. Sprit's 75% board supports both ANSI & ISO. That's why the plate has both the cut outs. :). You'll just need to source a couple extra 1u keys to fill the right side. (Some people use numpad keys).
3. Do I need to use PCB mount switches? I have a set of plate-mount clear switches waiting to be used, so it would be nice if I could use plate mounting.
PCB and Plate mounted switches both work on Sprit's Face W PCB! Just be sure to have a plate of some sort if you use plate mounted switches! Stabs are PCB mount by default.
4. Do I choose three layer of acrylic case colors for model 3?
Model 3 is a two layered case.
5. Where do I specify if I want model 1, 2, or 3?

Stab orders ($8 USD) come with the necessary wires & plastic inserts. Each set contains 4x 2unit stabs (enter, shifts, backspace) and 1x 6.25unit spacebar stab. If you want a 7unit stab wire, it'll be $1 extra.

Would you recommend getting extra sets? It seems like some people broke theirs in the process of assembly.

Do we also get SIP and stickers with this buy, or is that from different group buys?

It's not necessary as long as you know which way the wire goes. If you'd like some extra just for re-assurance, then I don't see why not. :)

I'll actually be providing SIP sockets soonTM, and stickers can be arranged with Sprit, depending on demand.

umm, there's a video by bluebear that shows how to clip the stabs.
he also shows how to insert the stab wires. I've clipped my stabs and so far they're holding up pretty well.
Just be careful.  :D

Since this multiple question thing seems to work, I'll give it a go.

1. Can I just procure a plate of my own or make one that will fit on this 60% pcb? Are there any special requirements for size or thickness?  I'm guessing just 1.6mm?
2.  So if I use a plate with this I should get cherry plate mounted stabs from that Ivan group buy, not the costar ones from WASD? And those come with the springs and everything I don't need anything else?

1. Yes, if you have some appropriate CAD files. Thickness should be 1.6mm, correct.
2. You can get PCB mounted Cherry stabs from this GB or Plate mounted Cherry stabs from Ivans GB, but Costars stabs only if you have a plate that can use Costar stabs. Stabs don't have springs, both GBs provide all parts need afaik.

Just one quick question before I fire this thing up. Does it matter which direction the diodes and resistors face?
I've checked the build logs of others and followed their lead. Just want to make sure.

Resistors.  No, they can go either way.

Diodes.  YES, you must put them on in the correct orientation.  It 'looks' like you have put them on correctly, but you should be following the silk screen on the PCB to be sure...

Resolder the unresponsive switches - faulty switches are unlikely. Not sure why your mouse doesn't work, try a reboot?

One question though. I would really like to swap left win with FN key. I tried riotonthebay´s hardware remapping guide but I am unable to move FN to left win. Even if I clear the left win mapping its still there after save and bootup.
Any tips on getting this done?

Also, are there any plans on extending the led modes? I am really fond of the mode on ducky where you press a button and it stay lit for a short amount of time. Also the one where you press a key and it trickles to the sides.

I was unaware I was able to contribute additional led modes. Do you have any details for how I would do that?

Correct me if I am wrong, but the 5 modes would be: off, on, breathing, off with key presses increasing brightness, on with key presses decreasing brightness.

Also there is something like 5-6 different brightness settings (didn't count).

Just want to double check before I place an order for the 87% PCB. What is currently soldered onto the board? I assume I have to solder diodes and resistors for the LEDs? Also are there other pictures for the 87% metal cases and are there any metal plates that fit in this case?

I have been fiddling with the keymap software all morning but am unable to exchange location of WIN key with FN. I can move the FN key to the standard WIN key location but unable to get WIN key working on FN location. Even after remapping it acts as if the FN key is still there.
If I understand correctly LGui is the left WIN key.

I wish I had the know how to fiddle with the led modes..  :'(

Will give that a go! FN probobly hardwired or something because with the led mode that makes the leds light up when you press buttons FN button does not make it light up.

Another quick question. (yeah I know, there are many  :p) I have a transparent case incoming and I'm thinking about putting leds on the sides. How would you go about doing that? might be hard though with plate and everything already mounted.

Would also like to add that it sounds excellent on that acrylic plate. The only problem I have is that a few keys arent aligned 100% straight. But I don't really think its the plate's fault. Will have to try and do some minor adjustments. Its a pain to desolder though  :-[

Shy to say, but I love my 55g ~ 68g very much    :-[    ;) 

Yes!  parallel (double) wired (soldered) !         V = IR ,    P= VI ,   E = VIt 

Yes!  Perfect alignment for Switches needs Time and Love,  I guess   ;)
(Not the Plate's fault!  I've done samplings and assemblies a Lot.   No problem !)    :thumb:

You don't need to desolder  both the Two pins of MX SW.   Just desolder one pin, then try to melt another a little bit and twist it to align.

Not really sure what  V = IR ,    P= VI ,   E = VIt  means, but I'll give it ago later this afternoon.
Will also try to align some of the switches for looks.

Just a shame that I have to wait a month for my TEX frosted acrylic case to arrive. Kind of wish I ordered a acrylic case from you  :'(

Any guide to choosing springs?

Here's a direct quote from Sprit:
Quote
* Springs Compared    v 1.1 
High-glossy (v1.1), very minor variation version.  Basically same spec with v1.0
I try to follow the Cherry Original Specs and GH Standard.      ;)
But as we know, some Cherry Original springs have some variances, even in the same switches.

So I have compared all the samples I got, and compared with my References.   * (Needs to be compared by people)
For my 50g ~75g  version, I tried to add some softer touch.  (They start slightly softer and mellow than stock ones, hopely.)

My 50g   is a little bit softer and lighter than MX Red (~55g)
My 55g   is slightly softer and lighter than MX Brown, MX Blue (58g~60g)
My 60g   is similar to MX Blue, but has some more tightness, hopely !
My 62g   is slightly heavier than MX Blue
My 65g   is soft but quite heavier than MX Blue
My 68g-70g   is similar to some Vintage MX Blacks (Soft & Cushiony)
My 75g   is similar to the most current MX Blacks standard
My 78g   is Soft MX Clear Edition, slightly softer & lighter than MX Clear, and same cushiony too.
My 85g   is similar to MX Clear.   v1.0 has a little bit tough start,  v1.1 will be very similar to Vintage Clear.
My 100g   is similar to MX Grey nonclicky in MX Clear Keyboards
My 120g-135g    Super-heavy!


* My References
-  MX Blues      :    Vintage G80-1000, G80-3000 Blue, Dolch MX blue, New MX blue Switches.     
-  MX Browns   :    Compaq 1838, 11800, Cherry 8200, 8113, 8955HPDUS, Reuters Switches.     
-  MX Blacks     :    Cherry NCR G80-0528, G80-0879, G80-0904, 1000HAD, 1501HAD, 1800HAG, 2551HAD, G80-11900, Deck TG3
-  MX Clears    :    Cherry G80-8113, G80-9009HAU Reuters, G80-1800,  New MX Clear SWs, etc

Weird okay, yeah still not working for some reason. PMing Sprit!

Thanks for trying to help though. :]

I think you have to specify a quantity of cases you want. Just put zero. I am going from memory.

Yes, they'll fit all custom 60% cases on the market, since they're all modeled after the Poker layout.

I don't think you should worry about that. If you can organize with sprit when you can pay, I would recommend you just get your order in now and PM sprit.

Sprit gets a lot of PMs and he is really busy right now, so give him a few days to get back to you.

In short, yes, you should be able to place an order still.

When I talked to him a couple days ago he mentioned that a lot of people missed the deadline.

I know we are still waiting for MOQ on some PCBs, so I think it should be fine if you pay now.

This GB has more of a rolling time-frame and I think the payment deadlines are more for sprit to try to guarantee interest. Since the factory will only presolder everything at specific MOQs (which sprit can't afford not to hit anymore due to how time consuming the soldering is), the drop out rate really affects his ability to deliver. The more people he can get to fully commit (aka: pay), the less risk he has on his buy.

To be fair, sprit is still figuring out a system that works for him because he has taken on a lot with this buy. He has been doing a great job and he has been delivering great quality products. The scope of what he is doing here is huge and awesome for us. He has been excellent at making sure all of his customers are happy.

In short, this buy is not a well oiled machine like what Ivan runs, but given the scope and Sprit's dedication it has been very successful.

I'd like to know what case model you guys are ordering. And it also want to know the comparison between each model and other keyboards on the market (Ducky, Filco) in term of height. (I don't know how Sprit had measured like 18mm from base to top of the case or 18mm from base to the PCB)

Originally had a Model 2 order, but emailed Sprit to have it changed to a Model 3. I like the low profile look.

Hi Sprit, you sent me a pm that was meant for zennasydroxx, quoting a previous pm of his in it. Just want to make you aware and avoid any confusion with our orders. I've sent you a pm separately about the springs and if you could respond when you get a chance, that would be great, thanks. No problems, just want to avoid confusion.cheers.

I'm thinking about building a keyboard around the model 2 case. From what I can see in the pictures, it looks like it's made up of the following:


Is this correct? And when filling out the order form how do I specify this? Is the top layer + plate included with the model 2 case? Or do I buy the plate separately and specify that I need one for the model 2 case?

Also, is there any way to order an 87% plate that doesn't have the triangles cut out around the arrow keys?

Thanks!

From my understanding, for that plate you need to order separately.

Depends on your order. 60% PCB & Cases are under production with factory pre-soldered diodes & resistors, so it won't be that long.  :p

Wow, 1 year for R1, 75%.

I just changed my order from R2, 75% to the R3, 75% due to the slimness. I may be regretting this decision. At this rate, it'll be 2 years before I see this board.

I think I read some where that Sprit would include a kit that could transform the model 1 to model 2 or 3. I'm not sure if this also apply to round 2. Btw. 1 year might be too much for me 2 wait. I'm starting to be paranoid :S

Round 2 orders won't take 1 year to ship :p. Only reason round 1 took this long was because PCBs didn't reach MOQ for factory presoldering for resistors / diodes, so Sprit had to hand solder a couple hundred boards.

Oh yeah, the original phantom plates form biniaris supported that layout. Here's mine.
(https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5551/14878370019_938cd9f215_o.jpg)

The 7bit specifically tried to maximize the amount of keys on the keyboard and has no stabilizers.

Unfortunately the TKL and 110% PCBs sprit offers do not support the layout, even if you got a plate that did. The reason is that they put the controller there, so there's no space for the holes of a switch.

Something I don't understand with these cases, are the screw heads on the top only visible on Models 2 & 3? Or are there no screws on the model 1 shown in the first pictures just to get it done quick?
Maybe for future revisions there could be an enlargement of the screw holes at the top which would allow the screw heads to be screwed below the surface in order to make them less visible.

Update   31th

SO Sorry for the Shipping Delay for the rest of R1 !!!   = I will finish the Rest of R1 Shipping from me in 3 weeks.

Sorry for the R2 Production delay!  -  The Cases are under Finalizing,  60% PCBs are in the SMT Pre-soldering Factory, due to some Parts(diodes, capacitors..) changed for a better SMT work

Your Color Options are still same Cher? 
I had to Solve One critical Issue on the PCB Bolts  for the Compatibility for 2mm Poker Bolts and 3mm Standard PCB standoff Screws.   
It took so much time, Now Fixed. I've produced custom compatible Screws.

Forgive me if I'm reading your question wrong, but the PCB supports both plate and PCB mount switches, so it wouldn't matter what type of switches you'll be changing later.

But I’d like to replace the switches without soldering, open them up ... So I guess in this case it doesn’t matter whether I take plate mounted replacement switches or PCB-mounted replacement switches?

Both switches can be opened without desoldering from the PCB since the plate has small cutouts for the latches to slide out.

Not sure if you've been reading the rest of the thread, but R1 is about 10 months delayed. I'm don't think there can be an R2 timeline until R1 is done (unless he has plans to move R2 work to someone else while he solders R1 pcbs). Even if he did give you an estimated timeline, how much information would you gain anyways (considering the ETA for R1 has been shifted back consistently for 10 months)?

The R2 60% are factory soldered, is not the same as in R1 where he had to hand solder all the boards. So R1 has no effect on R2

I think the only way to make the shipping faster is let the buyer do the soldering on the diodes. Honestly, I thought soldering the smd diode is a nightmare, but after reading some information here, it's a breeze. You just need a tweezer though to hold the diodes.
What I did is this(just like what swill did):
1. Apply a small amount of solder on one side of the joint on the pcb(Don't put yet the diode). Wait for the solder to dry up.
2. Using a tweezer, align the diode to the joint along with the newly applied solder. Then apply heat to the solder and the other end point of the diode. While the solder is melted, use this chance to align the diode or push down so that it will fit correctly. Once seated, wait for the solder to dry up before applying solder to the other side.
3. Then apply solder to the other end point. Don't apply too much heat as will cause the other joint to melt.

I'm not a native speaker and this might seem confusing to someone. But hopefully it helps. Sprit needs the help he can get and that I thought we as buyer can shoulder the diode part :)

I really wish he had focused more on getting the R1 orders out before starting R2. It seems like an unfair way to conduct business, even if this is just a group buy. Hopefully, things won't be delayed any further and people will start receiving things soon.

That claim is only true if packing took no time. But it does, and it's unfair for him to pack R2 instead of soldering R1 (unless for some reason he can do the former but can't do the latter)

Problem is, making a low amount of PCBs would cost ppl a lot more money, and some might not want/know how to do SMD soldering. :(

Yah, I'm really happy for him that he's got a new job, but that just doesn't fly as an excuse when you've taken people's money and just about every update is an apology for another delay in shipping estimates. It's equally frustrating when he stops replying to PMs when you try to work things out with him privately. People that know me here know that I'm not the type to crap on someone's thread but I've been waiting for over a month on an answer to a simple question about the current status of my 75% order. I'm fine if it's "you're number 127 in line and it should be about 3 months before I get it out" but it's bull**** to not answer someone who has paid you money for a product that you're failing to deliver. I don't care so much about what the answer is, I care more about having clear communication on a regular basis. When you're sitting on thousands of dollars of other people's money, you literally do OWE it to them.

Update   31th

SO Sorry for the Shipping Delay for the rest of R1 !!!   = I will finish the Rest of R1 Shipping from me in 3 weeks.   

Sorry for the R2 Production delay! - The Cases are under Finalizing, I had to Solve One critical Issue on the PCB Bolts  for the Compatibility for 2mm Poker Bolts and 3mm Standard PCB standoff Screws.   It took so much time, Now Fixed. I've produced custom compatible Screws.


60% PCBs are in the SMT Pre-soldering Factory,
due to some Parts(diodes, capacitors..) changed for a better SMT work.

 

I will Post Pics very Soon !

(Attachment Link)

To those looking for a recent update, please see above.

Sprit is one person. With a job. He got a lot more orders than he realized he would get, and has acquired help. Please try to read through the past couple pages of posts for updates before asking for one, as it just makes both of their jobs even harder and makes it hard for other people to find recent updates.

Alright folks, I've got an update from Sprit.

Sprit will be receiving the remaining springs from the factory today, and will commence shipping this week for sure. He aims to have everything shipped out by the end of the month. I'll be taking care of all NA orders (Cases, PCBs, Switches, [Canadian/some US] springs etc), so you guys can be expecting a shipping invoice soon. I'll provide an update once I've authorized an import with DHL to Sprit's place. According to my DHL importing quote, it should only take 1 business day (since Korea's 16 hrs ahead of PST, the package sort of travels back in time  :)) )

Thanks for hanging in there everyone.

Sprit I'm still having problems with my face2 driver. My laptop thinks its a pointing device and my trackpad shuts off.. I don't have this problem with any of my other keyboards (poker, poker2, pure)
Its a laptop running w8.

EDIT: It's actually a setting where if I plug in a pointing device the trackpad shuts off. I like this setting as I only use external mouse and built in keyboard when I'm on the go. 

EDIT2: Further testing reveals that when plugging it the keyboard, both a keyboard and a mouse is detected.
I disabled the mouse device and my problem is solved.
But the question remains, why is it being detected as both a mouse and a keyboard?

Hello Zeal or Sprit.

Is there any way you can give a timeline onto the R3-75% shipping date?

I originally switched from R2 to R3, and I'm wondering if I made a mistake doing that.

Yes that's what I mean. Switched from the 75% version of Model 2 into Model 3 to take advantage of the slightly slimmer profile.

If you could ask this upcoming week, that would be awesome. I'm a bit lost right now as to the timeline of this order, and any update would be welcome. Thanks.

LOL, I stuck it in a Keycool 84 case.   It is more or less just resting inside of it.  I made an awful looking hole in the back to fit the mini-usb connector.  I've been too lazy to do any real measurements to make a case.  I had thought about wiring the usb pinout to the case-embedded port, but laziness kicked in (and it works as it is, so good enough for now).  Plus I have another PCB to mess with if/when I get the urge.

Apparently there was a little bit of miscommunication regarding all the items ready for shipping.  :-[

Sprit has told me that springs and 60% cases will be shipped tomorrow his time (our afternoon/evening)
60% PCBs will ship next week, due to some shortage of SMD parts so he had to order them causing delays.

Sprit will provide some more details later. As always, I'll update you guys whenever I get them.

I don't see how R1 shipping can keep being delayed month after month without much of a transparent update. I understand this is a GB, but have ANY of R1 orders been sent out? If not, what is the hold-up? I understand he's got a full-time job, but he could at the very least ship a handful of R1 orders PER WEEK.

I hope that includes my 60% PCB and springs that - according to his PM - were ready to ship on July 17th already...

While I do appreciate the effort that Sprit put into this, especially with hand-soldering the components that the factory didn't do due to not meeting the MOQ, it is getting somewhat ridiculous now.

And we're still waiting for the MOQ to be met for sizes over 60% (R2)? I'm really puzzled why I had to pay an invoice for the 110% PCB when it hasn't met the MOQ yet.

Had a good long talk (3+hrs) with Sprit last night (I think i stayed up til 3-4am :confused:). I've set up an import authorization w/ DHL to sprit's place, and he should have springs, switches, & 60% acrylic cases shipped Monday his time (which should arrive Monday afternoon here). 60% PCBs should be complete around Wednesday.

Some bad news: I unfortunately have to return back to Taiwan on the midnight of Oct 2 for 4-6 days to handle some unfinished business from last month's family emergency leave.
To compensate for the tight schedule, I will literally pack/ship all day/night until the last day before I leave on Oct 1. I'll pull an all night-er if I have to. To those that ordered via my site but didn't include PCBs, I'll be sending shipping invoices today.

Here's some Q&A that I had asked:

Q: What's the status of R1?
A: There's about 25-30 orders left to be shipped, and I'm extremely sorry for having it dragged this long. I'll be focusing on getting those out ASAP. **I've asked about helping ship R1 to NA, but we'll have to see if the larger shipping boxes / PCB / Cases will fit in the importing boxes.**

Q: Status of R2 75, 87, 100/110% PCBs?
A: Total order for all the boards combined account for approx. 30-40. Factory pre-soldering requires a minimum of 50 orders per PCB size. There's ~15 orders for 75% and 87% PCBs in R2. **I'll see what I can do about this. We may end up having it produced to get it over with**

Q: Have you gone over all the PMs / order change confirmation requests I forwarded?
A: I'll go over and read & answer each one in detail this coming week. I've read through many, but haven't had time to reply to all of them.


Zeal - Did send Sprit an PM some weeks ago regarding request for switch change on my R2 order, find that it was read by him but no reply that change was confirmed. Possible for you to confirm change of switch?
Could you please specify what switches you wanted changed? To all future confirmation requests, please PM me and provide your Order/Invoice #, what you had before, and what you want changed. Thank you.

I hope that includes my 60% PCB and springs that - according to his PM - were ready to ship on July 17th already...

While I do appreciate the effort that Sprit put into this, especially with hand-soldering the components that the factory didn't do due to not meeting the MOQ, it is getting somewhat ridiculous now.
I understand your frustration (I also ordered in R1 and have yet to receive my PCB), and the GB has become larger than he imagined. I've stepped in to offer a helping hand, and I'll do my best to make sure this doesn't happen in the future.

Hi Zeal, how about 87 key please? It's approaching 10 months of wait.

Getting R1 out is currently top priority. Sprit is fully aware of your order.

This.

If not, what is the hold-up? I understand he's got a full-time job, but he could at the very least ship a handful of R1 orders PER WEEK.
I understand your frustration, and we've all been very patient for a long time. A good portion of R1 orders have been shipped out, and as mentioned above, there's about 25-30 orders left to be shipped, with about half being in NA. I'm trying my best to make everyone happy, but R1 is somewhat out of my control.

And we're still waiting for the MOQ to be met for sizes over 60% (R2)? I'm really puzzled why I had to pay an invoice for the 110% PCB when it hasn't met the MOQ yet.
Yes. Paying for the invoice is committing to your purchase. Unfortunately, there isn't a way to hold funds via a PayPal invoice.



Thank you in advance for understanding the situation at hand. I'm trying my best to get everything sorted & provide frequent updates for everyone, and hope that there will be no further delays. I'll be following up with sprit on Sunday and provide any updates if available.

From what you're saying, seems like PCB size other than 60% need a lot more orders to be able to have factory SMD pre-soldered. Will this turned out that Sprit have to do the hand SMD solder again or could we just have the option that we accept to solder SMD ourself so Sprit could ship the PCB  faster once they were produced.

No, sprit will won't be hand soldering SMD components for hundreds of boards for a LONG time. We'll either front the money to get them produced, and sell of the remaining extras later, or perhaps there'll be more interest once we get the first wave of 60%s out.

Metal plates have been cancelled in R1 & R2 due to low order count.

Since I haven't been completely following all pages of this thread, was there any official mention from Sprit of having the metal plates from R1 cancelled? Or was it simply someone PM'd him, and they posted what was answered.

If that's the case, I've been waiting this entire time for a single PCB? I've been patiently waiting knowing that there may be delays because of the plates, but after seeing your post Zeal it's got me baffled. Will there be refunds for those who ordered 4mm metal plates? Another thing, there is no way that a single PCB and the springs I ordered will amount to what I paid in shipping costs no matter how well it's been packaged. I'm hoping there will be adjustments for that as well.

I know Sprit is running this GB with good intentions, but there's a point where excitement can cloud judgement and common sense. There is no need to rush for an order of something significant like PCBs when MOQ for production was initially not reached in R1 leaving him having to solder SMDs, etc. Then he suddenly wants to do an R2 while constantly making revisions to acrylic cases and knowing that R1 is far from completion? It's absurd.

I think I would like to change back now. The schedule for even the Model 2 has been pushed forward so far, that I feel like I'll be waiting months for the Model 3.

On invoice #1788, please change from Model 3 to Model 2. The colors are:

75%  Model 3

Plate - Clear Frosty
Middle - Red
Bottom-  White Frosty

Zeal or sprit,
I would like an individual update on my order, since nothing happened at the end of september.
I figured that assembled orders would ship last because these orders would take the most manual work.

I recall that the last update there were about 36 remaining orders for R1. How far has this progressed by now, for me to get an idea of how many orders sprit can manage within a certain amount of time?

So how long will R2 last? Also, regarding the case, I'm assuming the plate counts as a layer? So a super slim would have a bottom piece and a plate? If that's the case would one still have to pay the full price for an entire case?

Oh trust me, you're not the only one.

I think I plowed down nearly $1100 just in this one group buy, and I've yet to recieve anything. Springs, key switches, you name it. I really do hope I get MX clears because I skipped several other chances to pick up a handful of mx clears for my boards as I have them on order with Sprit.

I too am waiting on key caps from altgroup, but, they've been around much longer so I'm not as worried, and haven't waited nearly as long either.

Yea. I have ordered all things needed to build a board. From switches, oil to pcb and cases. I have skipped other chances, as there are always news (delays).
But since Zeal is giving some updates, I'd be keeping hopes... My passion of assembling is fading.

I talked with sprit when I paid the shipping for the R2 stuff (PCB, case + springs), he told me that the 60% PCB's should be out of the factory this week and shipping should start soon. So I would not worry :cool:

OK at least I know 60% R2 won't be too long to get produced but my order is with 87% one and from last update they seems to don't have enough orders for the factory SMD pre-soldering. So I don't know what they're gonna do at the end. I hope they'll update soon.

I was wondering if anyone might have a few pointers for me.

I'd like to install one LED on my 75% board (at the spacebar) and have it light up whenever I toggle the FN3 layer. Would this be just installing a LED with resistor at that location and changing the keymap?

Thanks. :)

Updates would not only be nice, but at this point are necessary. There are more recent updates and comments by Sprit in his other buys that haven't been delayed many months. I joined this buy in good faith and the lack of clear, accurate communication is beginning to make me feel that good faith was misplaced. When I joined, I included metal plates in my order that I only recently found out, through this thread- not by Sprit- will not be produced. Additionally, there were promises of metal cases, which never came to fruition. Consequently, I have a lot of dollars invested in parts that I will have to source other materials to turn into something resembling what was initially described by Sprit. Still, I am only now complaining because of the lack of Sprit's presence in the communication of these issues, and especially the unbelievably long delay in delivering what is supposed to be shipped. He has had no problem communicating or fulfilling orders in his other buys, which we have been told have not taken away his attention from fulfilling his promises in this 1st buy. If he was  a vendor I would have demanded a refund. I apologize for the negativity, but I think is is deserved in this case.

Apologies for the lack of posts. I returned back from Asia late Friday, and jetlag's been really messing with my schedule. Living off of free WiFi for a week is also a PITA when most require you to already have a cellphone # with the Asian cellphone carrier :))

So while I was in Taiwan, I arranged to meet Sprit for 2 days in Korea. We talked a bunch, and I've asked him about updates and schedules for everything.

R1 - He's focusing on hand soldering all the remaining PCBs. To speed up the process, remaining R1 60% PCB orders will be swapped with presoldered R2 PCBs when they come out from the factory sometime this/next week. He told me that he wants to finish soldering the remaining R1 orders within a month's time. No more new group buys from Sprit until R1 and R2 are complete.

R2 - Non 60% PCB size orders: Orders for these other sizes are very low, and will most likely have to be hand soldered with Sprit's existing R1 75%/87%/100% PCBs.

@henz
60% acrylic plate fits 3 of the standoffs on the FMJ case.

I'm confused where you got the impression that you're guaranteed a refund from a GB

Unlike retailers who buy parts and then wait for people to buy it from them, sprit bought the parts because _you_ gave him money to order it _for you_. It's unfortunate that he hasn't done his end of the bargain, but this is fundamentally different from a retailer. A retailer buys items and hopes to sell them as part of their business model. A GB is a bunch of people trusting one person to do the work of ordering some good and shipping that good to them. Notice how those responsibilities don't include "sell extra items to anyone who wants to buy them." It doesn't include "advertise items for other buyers". And perhaps most relevant, it doesn't include "offer refunds if someone decides they don't want the thing they paid for anymore." Hence it isn't fair to expect a refund. Consider the case where someone decides 24 hrs after orders are made that he wants his $3000 back. Now the guy running the GB is screwed? Hence you _can't_ make any guarantee of refunds in a GB. You could propose something like "I guarantee that if I don't get the item to you in a month then you get a refund" but no such proposal was made or agreed upon.

Keep in mind, it isn't fair for him to not ship while giving ridiculous excuses for an entire year. But! The two notions of fairness are orthogonal

IMO, whining isn't going to do you much, maybe you should do the Paypal thing instead

To be fair, **** is moving out, people are getting stuff, and it's been less than a year since most people paid. It's still faster than the GH60 GB I'm still waiting to ship to me.  I've already received my Sprit PCB and springs and the GH60 hasn't even shipped.  It's still moving faster than a lot of GBs.  There were a few problems that Sprit resolved and is slowly working through.  I'd be impressed if someone working full time could execute a GB of this size and complexity faster than Sprit has.  Is it disappointing that it isn't faster?  Yes, but things are happening and there are way more updates here than in other GBs.

I don't think there's a point in comparing it with like, the worst GB in GH's history. He _made_ a large number of the problems that he's working through. No one asked him to order without hitting MOQ. No one asked him to ship back springs that had flaky gold plating. No one asked him to make the GB so complicated that it got out of his hands. He made these decisions himself. He should own up to it. That doesn't mean posting useless updates to this thread (although to be fair, equally pointless solicitations for updates have been made consistently every week for an entire year). It means he allocates 2 hours in his weekend to dump **** in a box and drop it off at the post office. It means telling the people who want him to solder SMDs that they'll probably have to wait an indeterminate amount of time. Because, honestly? He _probably doesn't feel like soldering them or else he would've done it already_. And for the people who don't want to wait forever, they should suck it up and take the raw parts. Instead he posted a "I'm sorry. I'll be done soon. Thanks." I call that ridiculous. OTOH he's kept so many things secret I'm sure 400 other issues have come up in the complexity _he_ created (which is _not_ the same as a lack of foresight)

So far sprit has been a great guy and has put together some very ambitious products and buys. There is currently no reason to think he wont follow through. I think some people here need to back off the loud-pedal using the word scam so freely.

I remember a time when someone would have killed for a set of korean springs.
I can only speak for myself, all i know is that him is soldering my pcb at no further cost to honor his words and all i can say is: thank you Sprit.

I'd also be happy to hand-solder my fairly substantial R2 order, to speed up arrival. Is this something that might be worth creating a list/form for, Zeal/Sprit? I don't mind waiting a while either way, but less work for Sprit/faster production/more soldering practice for me seems to be a win-win situation.

For an R2 order, I don't think that would make a difference really. If I am not mistaken (and someone correct me if I am wrong), R2 wasn't going to happen until MOQ for factory-soldering was hit.

R2 - Non 60% PCB size orders: Orders for these other sizes are very low, and will most likely have to be hand soldered with Sprit's existing R1 75%/87%/100% PCBs.

My order was all > 60% PCBs, hence my comment about doing the hand soldering myself rather than making Sprit tack them on the end of the R1 queue.

If you're referencing my post then you're making a strawman argument and so does the post you "QFT"d. I didn't say he wasn't a "genuine and nice guy", I also didn't call him a "scammer".

The _entire point of my post_ is that I think he's done a poor job of running the GB, but neither of you guys actually argued for him doing a _good_ job. OTOH, I realize that the this entire debate is pretty pointless (because regardless of the outcome, none of us get are orders any sooner). I think the only reason I posted anything was because of the completely illogical argument about how "this is better than the GH60 GB so it's actually pretty good." Yeah... guess I got baited? My bad

What I was saying was that it was happening with factory soldered parts (so offering to solder yourself probably wouldn't have gotten it to you sooner). As Twiddle pointed out though, I overlooked those who bought PCBs other than 60%.

I don't think there's a point in comparing it with like, the worst GB in GH's history. He _made_ a large number of the problems that he's working through. No one asked him to order without hitting MOQ. No one asked him to ship back springs that had flaky gold plating. No one asked him to make the GB so complicated that it got out of his hands. He made these decisions himself. He should own up to it. That doesn't mean posting useless updates to this thread (although to be fair, equally pointless solicitations for updates have been made consistently every week for an entire year). It means he allocates 2 hours in his weekend to dump **** in a box and drop it off at the post office. It means telling the people who want him to solder SMDs that they'll probably have to wait an indeterminate amount of time. Because, honestly? He _probably doesn't feel like soldering them or else he would've done it already_. And for the people who don't want to wait forever, they should suck it up and take the raw parts. Instead he posted a "I'm sorry. I'll be done soon. Thanks." I call that ridiculous. OTOH he's kept so many things secret I'm sure 400 other issues have come up in the complexity _he_ created (which is _not_ the same as a lack of foresight)
Packaging this stuff is not just simply putting it in a box. Sprit did an awesome job in packaging and these may have been some of the reason of the delay. Doing all that meticulous packaging takes too much time. I was also like you before and is impatient and always asking for update but when I receive my order I almost cried upon seeing the packaging(I myself would have hate to do that detailed packaging) and felt guilty inside. Then I realize some peope(including me) are busy complaining and didn't realize how much effort sprit have put on this GB. There was also a time where sprit got sick and I assume it's because of the stress on this GB. This was my first GB and it thought me a lesson in participating in GB, and that is patience.

Springs are shipping with it, so I'll have plenty to do on the weekends. This makes 3 boards I need to assemble, along with the LZ-B8, and B.87r.

Well I still wait for my R1 60%. At least some orders seems to get to people so I still have faith.


I don't blame him, I just think that he managed to get himself into a bigger group buy than he probably should have, but as long as he manage to send the orders to everyone I think we will all be happy. And it's not worse than the GH60 group buy either. This all seem like a HUGE amount of work and I raise my hat to him in that regard. But I will be happy when I get mine, so I keep faith!

Ok guys I'm in dire need of some help here.
Today my backspace started acting up on my Face II. It started out when I pressed the backspace rapidly. What happend was it started typing " §'§' " every now and then.
I figured it was something with the soldering so I resoldered the backspace key and now the problem is worse. Now when I plug in the board it goes: §'§'§'§'§'§'§'§'§'§'§'§'§'§'§'§'§'§'§'§'§'§'§'§'§'§'§'§'§'§'§'§'§'§'§'§'§'§'§'§'§'§' endlessly.
I've now been trying to figure this out for a couple of hours and I'm  just completely nackered.

I think the issue, for both R1 and R2 for PCBs other than 60% is the pre-soldering. Sprit originally intended for all the boards to come with diodes and SMD resistors pre-soldered at the factory, but the MOQ for non-60% PCBs wasn't met, so he took on that task himself which is monumental when you have a full time job and presumably a life. That means wait times for those 60% PCBs is completely dependent on the factory getting the work done and for the others its dependent on how much time he can spend hand soldering them all.

It's been 3 weeks and still not a peep from Sprit. I've emailed his personal email, sent him multiple PMs on Geekhack, and he hasn't even had the courtesy of giving me a short reply to let me know what's going on. At this point, I think it's safe to assume this is a scam. Nobody just "disappears" with $400 and refuses all forms of communication for a month. The worst part is that it's been almost a year since I paid via Paypal, so I can't even open a dispute. Any ideas on how to get my money back?

To give some background info, I've been asking Sprit for an update on my order (full custom TKL 87%) for the past 6 months and he couldn't even show me a picture of the PARTS that I ordered, let alone the whole keyboard. I found it getting fishier and fishier that despite his constant delaying tactics "ok I send you pictures next week", he could never even come up with proof that he ever fulfilled my order. Three weeks ago I told him that I was uncomfortable with his lack of evidence that he was actually going to provide the keyboard and asked for a refund. Since then, he hasn't replied to any of my attempts at communication. Can the mods do something about this please? Even a reply with "I'm working on it, here's a picture of what I have so far" would have sufficed, but he's just completely AWOL.

sprit,

if you are reading this please send me a PM immediately
(posting this here because you haven't replied to PMs in months!). For similiar reasons as lilky I think it is time to act.
Just PM me a realistic and non-euphemistic estimation on when my order will arrive.

If you don't reply within 7 days I feel it would be the only wise thing for me to try to get my money back, given the amount I've given you!
That would indeed be a drastic measure and I really don't want to do it as I'm really looking forward to my keyboard! But I believe it would be only common sense to act this way!

And I hope if I had to retrieve the money at least that would go flawless, I don't want to contact Paypal support...

Sorry if that sounds a bit harsh but there quite some money on the line...

I recall Cottonsox moded the R1 Model 1 into Model 3-type TKL. He either just removed one layer, or requested for slightly thicker acrylic layers. I'm not too sure about the specifics.

I haven't checked this thread in some months.  Who should my primary contact be at this point?  I understand Zeal is helping a lot.

I ordered 3 60% PCBs and some plates and springs (massdropped some cases) with the intention to give two them as gifts to a friend.  One friends birthday was in October and the other was end of Sept (late bday gift) and I was told these would ship by Sept.

I understand there are hiccups in group buys and while I do appreciate all your hard work...I no longer have a need for this many PCBs.  I'm not mad but things have changed over the months since I ordered.  I have already paid the invoice in Aug/Sept...

Is it possible to modify my order and request a refund for canceled items?  I still want the board I ordered for myself but...only need 1 and not 3.


Thanks.

First I just want to say I'm not complaining and am happy to wait for my order on this GB. Like so many before me have said, there are bound to be hiccups and problems in a buy of this magnitude with so many different suppliers. I just wanted to throw in that it might help alleviate some peoples' worries/frustrations if there was an update every week or two weeks for instance, even if its just to say "We're still waiting on these guys to finish soldering, currently I'm expecting these to be finished in two weeks, these in four." Anyways, I appreciate all of the effort from Sprit, Zeal, and everyone else involved in organizing this monster.

Indeed, rolling updates would be greatly appreciated at this point.
I for one am still confused as to the status of my R2 order of a 110% board. All I know is that I paid and that the MOQ isn't filled. And then I heard rumors that this may cause the PCB to arrive unsoldered or waiting for the full MOQ to be met..

+1 for updates, I have zero idea what the status of my order is, and watching other group buys of similar 60% ers be open, closed, built and shipped out all while this GP is still pending with minimal updates or information is pretty disheartening.

Post by: graefeln on Fri, 07 November 2014, 08:44:38
I agree with the others that say updates would help to put people's minds at ease.
For example, in his springs GB, while replying to limitz, sprit said "...My Bad for the R2 60% PCB production,  1 SMD parts got problem, but fixed, will come out next week. I will email to all members involved  R1  & R2     :thumb:..."
I don't understand why he couldn't come to this thread and post the same thing since it would be relevant here and not everyone is in both group buys. Aside from that, this was posted on Monday 27 October - meaning that week and the next week are now just about over; a new update would be helpful. Did the SMD problem get fixed and did the boards come out "next week"?
I am thankful for all that sprit has done and is doing, but I must agree with those that said he took on a bit more than he was expecting - and occasional updates could go quite far and easing people's animosity about this buy.

dude I have been waiting since new years, he is obviously doing his best to finish as fast as possible, getting a chargeback will only slow the process for everyone else in the GB. Only way if you want to get your money back is to contact either sprit or zeal, but please have som patience

Trying your best does not make you free of blame or immune to criticism. I think people understand this is not a professional business or else we would have had complaints a lot earlier and in much greater volume. I'm all for calming people and helping with damage control (since Sprit does not seem to have the time to do it himself) but defending everything Sprit does is not helpful. Zeal seems to be doing a good job of conveying this seriousness of the situation to Sprit that if he does not act we will be seeing more complaints and maybe even chargebacks in the near future.

I and I'm sure most are still appreciative of everyone's hard work and patience. But you really can't blame anyone for wanting a small update or even better an explanation. Like why does it seem like Sprit is still pushing for more orders in his other group buys? If people are going to be understanding of Sprit being one guy then he himself needs to be understanding of the people who have trusted him with their money and let them know he's doing what he can.  :)

Yeah, good luck with that. PayPal won't allow you to dispute any transactions older than 45 days.

Have you tried to contact Sprit via e-mail? Every time I've sent him an e-mail he answered it, I had updates all the time during the GB. People have to accept that a GB of this size takes time and all kind of problems can arrise.
Last time I talked with him he said that the 60% are ready next week and he will start shipping. In this huge GB only the PCB's had some delays and that was due to manufacturing problems. All the other items were shipped in a timely manner, cases, springs, people already use them.
There is no reason to call him a scamer, it is unfair, and people will realize that soon.

I think most people complaining in this thread would agree with you. He is delivering on his other group buys and, in the end, I think this one will be no different. It is important to realize that most are merely criticizing his lack of transparency in this group buy. It would also be a lot easier for him to post a single update in this thread rather than have everyone emailing him for updates.
I hope the criticism in this thread doesn't keep Sprit from doing any group buys in the future because he really is providing a valuable service with little-to-no personal gain. Hopefully though, he will use what he has learned to make for a smoother process in the future. I really do appreciate what he and Zeal are doing (and, of course, the other proxies in the other buys).

As for the people calling him a scammer, it is important to realize that not everything is going to happen without running into problems and that, at this point, Sprit is probably becoming more and more overwhelmed. If you wanted a problem-free, prompt buying experience, you should stick to a reputable vendor; group buys are seldom the most efficient ways to buy things. Throwing around accusations so freely, especially to someone who is delivering on his other buys, isn't the way to speed things up and may end up discouraging others from having group buys in the future.

Thanks, I gave it a shot, maybe that will easen things up on my side.

I totally understand sprit isn't a vendor and really thought thoroughly about trying to force an update by giving out a deadline, because even in private buys there is a responsibility to make things clear for your buyers and I think these constant delays make it obvious that there is a lack in transparency, I have been expecting my order since july. Since when I have been always promised to receive it the month after and now sprit really lost credibility for me as he only gives out undiscrete updates instead of telling people how the status on their specific order is.

Just to chip in, I was part of the R1's. I paid up on the Nov 2013, and only received it on May this year. So that's like 7 months, give or take.
He has responded to most of my pm's before. Maybe just 1 or 2 that he might have missed out but other than that, he responds even after I receive my stuff.
I know some R1's order might not been fulfilled yet but I hope you give him some time. Eventually, he will pull through as you all know he is just a one man army.
Just hope sprit is doing fine.

Been following the discussion for quite some time now.
I agree with some of the points... little lack of transparency and a schedule that was very tight from the very beginning (6weeks if I recall correctly).
That being said I think a lot of the extra work Sprit is under right now comes from wanting to provide almost everything people asked for, a lot of it not being part of the initial GB. Did he put too much on his shoulders... Yes, maybe, but it was kind of obvious as the GB grew that it would also take a lot longer.

Something I really don't agree with is people (and I'm not talking about anyone in particular here) changing and modifying their orders a lot (all the xxxxing time to be precise). Now after weeks and month you want to change this and that in your order... plate color, add springs, change pcb for a bigger one, etc. and you don't think it causes problems or will prolong things? Really? At what point should sprit have ordered material or estimate numbers for production if there's always someone who wants to alter their order? He has to commit at one point and it requires participants to commit first. Otherwise it doesn't make a lot of sense. Have you tried to do this to a legit reseller... order, then later call change the order, then change it again... what do you think that will do? As a participant of a GB you have the responsibility to make up your mind before ordering and stick to that order! And just somehow I figure it's a lot of the same people that run out of patience now complaining.
I ordered round1 too, I payed in November 2013, got nothing yet... big deal. Just look at other GBs and you know what's up.

And people now starting talking about refunds is just got to be a nightmare for any GB-organizer. The guy is under a lot of pressure already and you keep adding... is that really necessary? I agree, he could say something now and then... but then again it will also not make your order arrive any faster. So sit thight and do us all a favour.

I'm starting to get a little bit worrysome.


I've PM'd Zeal a few times, and it seems sprit responds to him quite quickly. However, I asked Zeal if he could ask Sprit for an ETA, and Zeal responded back with a message from sprit saying my order should be ready in a week, nearly 3 weeks ago.

I've also emailed sprit to see if I can order some additional springs, and just to check up on my order with no response.

So at this point, I'm really worried. Getting them later isn't a huge deal, but how much later? And also, given the low amounts of availability on certain switches, I'm concerned that I won't be getting the proper switches. ( A few sets of MX clears and various others )

Main problem is lack of transparency, and all of these updates with casing changes and what not. I've been patient more than long enough, as with many others. I think we all demand an answer. ETA's, what's left, are all the PCB's ready with or without SMT components?

Guys, don't forget that I am also in the R1 order, and am still waiting for my PCB. I understand everyone's been patient, and some are losing their patience, but I have no reason to doubt that Sprit will get everything shipped out. I've met with him in person, and have told him that the community would appreciate more updates. I think he's been really busy since I haven't heard back yet either. The moment I get an update, I'll be relaying it here.
Sprit has set aside all the purchased Clears. I know that since I've asked if he had any more, and has turned me down saying that they've all been accounted for.

Plates were done a while ago, and were shipped with the 60% Acrylic cases to me. Charging back your order would only be hurting me (I'm just the proxy for NA), since you ordered from my site. :(

^That's the picture I just took of your clear plate, Jixr. Only thing I'm waiting for are the 60% PCBs. Acrylic case orders were already sent out a month ago.

60% R2 PCB production picture can be found here (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=50580.msg1456767#msg1456767). Sprit mentioned somewhere that there were some SMD problems, but he's fixed the issue. It's really the only thing holding me back from shipping. :/

As much as I want an update, I'll only really start to worry when Zeal does... I am sure this is really stressful for him as well - especially since some of us ordered directly through his site, so he probably feels just as responsible for fulfilling the order as Sprit and has less say in the matter.

Hi Zeal,

Does it mean that you currently have everything of my R1 orders except the 60% pcb? And you will send my order out when you receive those 60% pcbs?
(My order includes 60% pcb, 60% acrylic case, 87% pcb, and several leds. Can't remember if there is anything else.)

Thank you for your effort, and the picture of this lovely case could make a better world.

And you shouldn't run other group buys and R2's when you still have outstanding orders from a year ago, thats bad business.

Unless there is a significant update by the end of this month, i'm going to issue a charge back.

It may not be a money grabbing scam, but its not what was promised when orders were open.

Chill? He took over $400 dollars of my money and hasn't given me a single response to any attempt at contact in 6 months. You don't call something "not a scam" because a few people got their springs or PCBs, you call something a scam when dozens of people have lost hundreds of dollars to a Geekhacker that took the money and ran away. From what we can gather here, it looks like the most expensive orders are the ones that were never fulfilled. Most likely he just made some PCBs and sent those out to the small orders to gain some trust, then when the big orders came in he took the money and ran.

I don't think it was a deliberate scam, but its obvious that problems arose, and the project was put on hold. Wither it be the cost was more than he thought, he didn't have the suppliers or parts he thought he had, or whatever, but its being handled in the poorest of ways.

I'm willing to bet the money was spent and is gone, and sprit got way in too deep with all the group buys he is running and used up all our money on prototypes and part sourcing and basically has nothing to show for it.

But still I believe that we will get our stuff, some updates would be good, otherwise a lot of people will open disputes and chargebacks and that will screw up this GB for good :( and it would be a shame.

Nothing is going to be done one way or another if people just sit by and continue waiting.

And some people don't have the extra money to fund into other GB's while they have money tied up in this one.

I have about 500$ tied up in this GB since R1. I've been contacting Sprit for updates from the beginning. He has been answering all my questions timely although in a somewhat disorganised manner up until mid August. I think it was the time when it was very hot in that part of the world and there were some issues. I haven't heard from him since.

I never got the feeling that he was trying to scam anyone, at least his responses felt genuine and like he was trying to work through some difficulties. It's a natural progression I suppose, as things tend to pile up some people become more and more reluctant to get in contact with the community, because it means explaining over and over again the problems they are having with the GB (assuming they are not scamming anyone). It is not justifiable, but it is understandable.

I think the moral of the story is that it would be good to hear from Sprit directly, whatever the situation is. It is not the first GB to get delayed, just explain the situation and the community will try to help I am sure.

P.S. I have received the springs from the R2 on springs GB, so someone must be working there :)

This. I've a similar amount of money tied up in R2. I'm less worried about delays and more just want to know the GB status, if there's anything I can do to expedite matters, etc. I don't care about having to hand solder all my own stuff, if it arrives sooner.. Especially given that I may be relocating internationally in 2-3 months which would involve a change of proxy.

Thats my issue, I'm fine with delays, that kinda stuff happens, but sprit has been online recently, and has obviously been ignoring his PM's and his GB threads, and a complete lack of information which is why people are losing their faith in him and his buys.

It's been way too long. And the updates we got over the past months, are just things gonna been sent out in a x week of time. But it ends up nothing. And now there's not even an update.
We need to know what's wrong with the stuff, and we could sort it out.

I'm getting upset by the delays. Every time I'm let down.

You are right. I have ordered things from R1 that did not hit the MOQ, but I was never contacted to change the order or get refunded. I think a public spreadsheet would be the best solution, so at least we know which orders are outstanding and that there is progress. However it has been suggested in the past and did not happen, so I guess it must be difficult...

I think the issue might be that if there is full disclosure, people might realise how long it will still take and how difficult it will be to fulfil some things. And they might start to back out with their money and it will lead to the whole GB going under. So there is some sense in keeping things vague from Sprit's perspective.

Just wait, and push/ask for a clarification for now. Sprit is still coming through on his other GBs, and people are reporting contact with him currently. I really don't think any of this is a scam, be patient. If anyone has a more direct line with Sprit, ask him to provide a schedule and/or clarification.

I guess the problem here is with the PCBs.
Sprit did mention that he had to do all the SMD soldering for his orders and anyone who has tried that would know that it takes a long god damn time to even do one board full of those.
Plus, he does have a real job.

As far as I was aware he was only going to hand solder R1 PCBs and get R2 factory done, and the delays for R2 was due to not hitting MOQ for that factory soldering.
A few of us at least, perhaps more than a few, would be happy to do the soldering ourselves if it would get our R2 orders sent out faster and reduce Sprit's workload.

I'd probably choose this if it's available. But I didn't know what the progress for my 87% PCB is does still have not been producing or does it got produced and waiting for Sprit to solder? If he does not get 87% PCB produced yet I think getting refund for the PCB is viable.

Alright folks, I've got an update from Sprit.

Sprit will be receiving the remaining springs from the factory today, and will commence shipping this week for sure. He aims to have everything shipped out by the end of the month. I'll be taking care of all NA orders (Cases, PCBs, Switches, [Canadian/some US] springs etc), so you guys can be expecting a shipping invoice soon. I'll provide an update once I've authorized an import with DHL to Sprit's place. According to my DHL importing quote, it should only take 1 business day (since Korea's 16 hrs ahead of PST, the package sort of travels back in time  :)) )

Thanks for hanging in there everyone.

Boy, that sure didn't happen, did it? 3 months later and we're still working on getting things shipped.

First off. Just want to thank Zeal for acting as the intermediary during this whole process.

I'm curious to know whether there has been any progress on the 4mm metal plates from R1. I don't mind waiting if there is, but otherwise I may have to consider alternate plans.
Metal plates have been cancelled in R1 & R2 due to low order count.

Just curious: any progress with alps pcbs / cases?

Cheers,

K
That's for next year's project. Gotta focus on finishing up R1 & R2 first.

Metal switch plates were cancelled? That's news to me. If they were cancelled then why was I invoiced for it, and where is my $40 refund now that it's not being delivered?

Apology!   
I was in my Job trip last 10 days.
I will fix the R1, R2 Orders to send.
I will message to each person.   
feel so quilty..   :(



I'm still waiting for a message. In fact, I'm still waiting for you to reply to my last PM to you on Aug 9th.

Apologies for the lack of posts. I returned back from Asia late Friday, and jetlag's been really messing with my schedule. Living off of free WiFi for a week is also a PITA when most require you to already have a cellphone # with the Asian cellphone carrier :))

So while I was in Taiwan, I arranged to meet Sprit for 2 days in Korea. We talked a bunch, and I've asked him about updates and schedules for everything.

R1 - He's focusing on hand soldering all the remaining PCBs. To speed up the process, remaining R1 60% PCB orders will be swapped with presoldered R2 PCBs when they come out from the factory sometime this/next week. He told me that he wants to finish soldering the remaining R1 orders within a month's time. No more new group buys from Sprit until R1 and R2 are complete.

R2 - Non 60% PCB size orders: Orders for these other sizes are very low, and will most likely have to be hand soldered with Sprit's existing R1 75%/87%/100% PCBs.

@henz
60% acrylic plate fits 3 of the standoffs on the FMJ case.

So he's been 100% focused on non-60% PCBs for the last 6 weeks and he hasn't been able to get 25-30 of them done? How many did he complete? Half? A quarter?

I'm starting to get a little bit worrysome.


I've PM'd Zeal a few times, and it seems sprit responds to him quite quickly. However, I asked Zeal if he could ask Sprit for an ETA, and Zeal responded back with a message from sprit saying my order should be ready in a week, nearly 3 weeks ago.

I've also emailed sprit to see if I can order some additional springs, and just to check up on my order with no response.

So at this point, I'm really worried. Getting them later isn't a huge deal, but how much later? And also, given the low amounts of availability on certain switches, I'm concerned that I won't be getting the proper switches. ( A few sets of MX clears and various others )

Main problem is lack of transparency, and all of these updates with casing changes and what not. I've been patient more than long enough, as with many others. I think we all demand an answer. ETA's, what's left, are all the PCB's ready with or without SMT components?
Guys, don't forget that I am also in the R1 order, and am still waiting for my PCB. I understand everyone's been patient, and some are losing their patience, but I have no reason to doubt that Sprit will get everything shipped out. I've met with him in person, and have told him that the community would appreciate more updates. I think he's been really busy since I haven't heard back yet either. The moment I get an update, I'll be relaying it here.
Sprit has set aside all the purchased Clears. I know that since I've asked if he had any more, and has turned me down saying that they've all been accounted for.


+1 for demanding some sort of status update.

I don't think anyone here knows the status of production, are the plates done? are the cases done? etc?

no one has any idea, and I get that charge backs are a PITA, but its starting to look like a path I may be taking.
Plates were done a while ago, and were shipped with the 60% Acrylic cases to me. Charging back your order would only be hurting me (I'm just the proxy for NA), since you ordered from my site. :(

^That's the picture I just took of your clear plate, Jixr. Only thing I'm waiting for are the 60% PCBs. Acrylic case orders were already sent out a month ago.

60% R2 PCB production picture can be found here (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=50580.msg1456767#msg1456767). Sprit mentioned somewhere that there were some SMD problems, but he's fixed the issue. It's really the only thing holding me back from shipping. :/

I'm sorry that you're still waiting for your R1 order as well, but I disagree about whether there is any reason to doubt that Sprit will get the orders shipped out. My invoice was paid Dec 18, 2013 10:26 AM and not only do I not have what I paid for, I can't even get an update from the guy who's supposed to be sending it to me. Between this GB, GH60, Raindrop R2, and Toxic, every single group buy I have participated in for the last year has gone to ****. I've been waiting for a year for 4 SEPARATE GROUP BUYS and all I need to do is look at Sprit's lack of progress to come up with dozens of reasons to believe that he won't deliver.

At this point. I think the GB threads should be removed from the GB compilation thread. Why is Sprit still taking orders on this thread, 60% board, and springs?

I have not yet received springs on my R1 order placed July 18th. To boot, Sprit extracted another $27 from me for a shipping fee in late-October, promising to ship "in one week". One month later... and still no springs.

For the sake of everyone involved... please remove this thread from the GB compilation. It's unfair to the new users. Until there is a comprehensive public update from Sprit about the entire buy, I think it's best people do not buy in. I'm a very patient man... but this buy has made me think a little bit. I've personally resigned to never seeing the springs, or the 75% board I've paid for.

...

I believe he's taking orders to meet the MOQ for the various sizes. But I agree, it's a bit unnerving that we haven't heard from him yet. At this point I'm tempted to buy a keyboard for the PCB and then just mod it..

I ended up contacting Zeal and got a refund for my PCB, and am being shipped the items that he does have on hand that I did order.

Hate that it came to that, but I'm seeing a sinking ship and I jumped.

I just messaged Zeal. The keyboard delays are bad enough, but not receiving the springs I paid for was the icing on the cake, moreso because I paid during the R1 order. I hope I can see even a portion of my money back. However, for the sake of everyone else who is still in, I won't be going through Paypal, and I hope I can resolve the refund personally w/ Zeal and Sprit.

I'm not making any judgements on Sprit's character, but I've personally had enough of this GB. Just too many broken promises from Sprit, and lack of communication.

So what's the refund process with this group buy?

I paid back in October/November 2013 which means I can't go through Paypal. I don't frequent the forum much anymore other than this thread and I'm definitely tired of checking for a deliberately unresponsive GB organizer.

I'd like to get a refund for the parts I ordered because it doesn't look like they'll ever make it out of Korea.

Maybe there could be the option, for those interested, to get our pcb without the modification (soldering) done by Sprit. I prefer getting an almost completed pcb than nothing at all personnaly. I don't know if it's an option, but if it is I suspect many would be interested at this point.


Still, getting some sort of update would help to make the decision...

If you guys want a refund, I suggest PMing Zeal. He told me though that he was waiting for an official word on whether I can get a refund on a 75% set (I haven't gotten a refund yet). So a refund may not be possible. There's basically no sign of progress and no way to directly contact about orders. We just have to hope one day we get our products, or we're all out a few hundred bucks each.

I tried to but only managed to get a negative mark on sprit's account. His account will probable get deleted if more people do it but I don't know if it will help anyone of us.

I wish I could apply more pressure on him because I think sprit shouldn't get away with just putting us off and lying to us after we paid a lot of money to him...
He has become very much conceivable and I don't believe that each one of us will ever receive their order!

I no longer want to hide my disapproval of this as this was not part of the deal.

As someone who met sprit in person I'm very much counting very much on Zeal to straighten things out for us.

I am infuriated reading the latest posts in this thread with no sign of sprit to be seen.

I'm starting to think more an more that I will not get my stuff :( Sent him more e-mails with no response, I want at least the springs and case but no answer to that either :(
I think that if after the end of thi year we don't get any feedback we should get organized and find an efficient way to recover our losses.
For me it's a lot of money and I worked hard for that, and I could have used that money for something better.
Hope that we will get soon some updates, as far as I am concerned I don't mind getting the PCB unsoldered, I can do that myself, bottom line I get the stuff I paid for.
Not to mention that I have to explain to some people why I don't have their springs, in the end I will give them springs I bought from GON I don't see another way :(

Myself not an big time talker on the forum and not that deep into this GB, only little more than 300 usd since 22 of july this year. Any type of refund via Paypal or similar isn't possible I am afraid, it is just to long time that has passed.

Did order a complete 100/110% model and if I am one the few who I understand did order this type and the minimum order wasn't met towards the factory I am more than happy to cancel my order in total - this to help the rest of the boards and kits on this GB to come through prior to 2015.

SPRiT - If you read this and this above can help some - just send me an PM or email. Also SPRiT please have in mind - any type of communication towards us is better than none. Believe that most of us can accept an "sorry guys I messed up but I will resolve this"

people started received stuff some six months ago if I remember correctly. There were postings about sprit-boards in other threads. I just think the amount of work is highly underestimated by most people... how many boards can you handsolder in one week, working a fulltimejob having a family. Yes communication at this point sucks... but I rather SEE people receiving stuff time and time again than reading "next month..." over and over again.

I know that, I offered to solder myself as well. I don't try to sugar coat or defend the guy... it's just a plausible explaination.
It's already done... too late to advice not to commit either... so what should we do? Most people already waited for about a year... so right now is it really worth it trying to get refunds, upping the pressure and ****ing the whole GB up? In my opinion: No.
And what after people would receive refunds... they go stick that money in another GB where they will maybe only have to wait a few months more till they receive anything there.

I've been against refunds and charge backs from the beginning, this would only mess things up. It's clear that this GB was way too big for one man to handle without delays and problems.
The best way would be for sprit to accept our help, I'm sure that a lot of people would step in and help him with the GB, it happened a lot in this community.  :thumb:

Just to reiterate, when was the last time anyone has heard from him? I know Daniel got an email from him 3-4 weeks ago now (correct me if I am wrong). What about Zeal? Did you hear anything at all recently?

He is OK, had a busy time with the job but he is moving forward with the shipping, he showed me lots of boxes full of PCB's cases and stuff for this GB. So we just have to wait a little more.
I posted a photo of my stuff ready for shipping, the rest I didn't post because I don't know if it's OK it's not my stuff and I wouldn't like if someone would post something from a private conversation.

Its a bit hard to see due to the clear plate and that I already have a switch soldered in, but the right of the switch has the notches for easy opening, while the left side doesn't.

So for the esc. key, I'd have to desolder it to change the switch stem.
( note this is not a Sprit PCB )

Guess its just more disappointment from this buy though, which is sad, because the plate is otherwise amazing.

Yeah, I also experience this with my 5mm acrylic plate. It was given to me as free though so I can't complain. I just file the part to fix it.

I use a split backspace layout and this is where I experience this problem:
1. Esc
2. Backspace and the key beside backspace (split backspace)
3. \|

I have asked Sprit regarding the "missing" two switch cut out on the left of Esc a while ago, and he told me that it adds rigidity to that top left acrylic plate. If it had extra cutouts, the top left corner would be a lot more fragile, as it's already missing the top support due to mini usb cut out.

I have asked Sprit regarding the "missing" two switch cut out on the left of Esc a while ago, and he told me that it adds rigidity to that top left acrylic plate. If it had extra cutouts, the top left corner would be a lot more fragile, as it's already missing the top support due to mini usb cut out.

Yeah no worries. I think the addition is actually really nice. But then again I've lubed most of my switches, including the bottom part of the switch so for me it doesn't affect the functionality so much. Won't be swapping them

Maybe I was wrong about sprit after all, the wait was a lot longer than anticipated though...
However I will stay doubtful until my order arrives.

I hope that eventually everyone will receive their long anticipated order in the near future!

Looks like things are finally moving again, this pleases me. I will finally be able to get on the %60 bandwaggon and have a board small enough to drag to uni.

Well, I think he marks all the orders as 'shipped' because you only get a limited time to do so on PayPal. I'm not sure what the exact time frame is, but I remember he marked my item as 'shipped' sometime in November of 2013.

Hi sprit! I emailed you a few days back. I know you're busy, but would it be possible to get a status update on my order as well?

I just wanted to say that, despite waiting for over a year for the stuff of this GB, I'm still really patient and relaxed.
(Especially with Sprits latest updates and another batch of people receiving theirs stuff)

I always (kinda) knew what I signed up for last year :D.
And I will enjoy my keyboard... whenever it will be here.

Time for some tea and enjoy the Christmas holidays.  :thumb:

It is a Karma...

I feel myself a sinner, stupid, been too long to finalize this GB.
The rest of stuffs are in my hand to ship, PCBs and Cases are still up to date.
I would love to fulfill all the shipping by January whatever the reason!
Really grateful for Everybody!!  :thumb:

*added  :  I am doing emailing to reconfirm Address,  and answering back on the order details one by one. 
It takes time, and watch on this Please!    ;)

Got mine today (thanks Sprit and Zeal). Going to take a few pictures as I put it all together, but it looks super nice. The acrylic plate is cracked in a few places, but I don't think it will affect anything really.

Super excited to out it together; not looking forward to stickering the switches though.

As one of the people who received the stuff I can say this: only by looking at the packaging the shipping part is a time consuming operation. Each little piece is individualy packed, the package can take a direct hit and nothing could be damaged. So have patience it is worth waiting.

sprit does a great job with the packaging.  Ordered springs almost a year ago and really liked the presentation :)

I don't have a Sprit case but I think it is just like most cases in that you put the screws through the screw holes in the PCB into the threads in the case. It may be a different kind of case in which in the PCB hangs and in that case(no pun intended) you need to attach the plate to the case. There should be screw holes in the plate and the case for you to attach it all together kind of like in an ergodox.

Here is a picture of a case in the first scenario:

(http://i.imgur.com/RZ9Xd5u.jpg)

See how it has threads for screws.

In this person's build of a Sprit kb he/she in fact screws the PCB into the case like I said. Keep in mind that there might be holes for screws on your PCB where there aren't threads for screws on your case and vice versa. Just put in screws where they line up.

Also pictures of the sprit case show threads for screws on the first page of this thread.

Just in case that is not how your case looks(I know there are a few versions of the sprit case), here is how you would do it the other way.

The plate might act as the top of the keyboard and then you would need to put screws through the holes on the plate and the rest of the layers of the case. For example you can see here how the screws go through the plate and all the way to the bottom of the case.

I think I got a Model 1, which is 3 layers and a plate.

I'm not sure. If so I'm an idiot.

However, in the Model 2, it doesn't look like the upper plate is flush with the lower plate. While in my case, it's clearly a 3-layer design and everything is flush.

Orders w/ PCB & Case should contain the required standoffs & M.2 screws required to bolt the PCB down. If he forgot to pack those, you should email him for a reminder / visit your local hardware store where you should be able to find some.

I'm not sure. If so I'm an idiot.

However, in the Model 2, it doesn't look like the upper plate is flush with the lower plate. While in my case, it's clearly a 3-layer design and everything is flush.

I just thought I remembered reading about it somewhere in the past and thought I'd mention it. I didn't order a case so I didn't really pay close attention.

Can someone post a picture of the R2-slim please? I'd love to compare what I got to someone else's package.

There is clearly 3 layers and a plate in my design, and I'd just like verification.

Neither do I. I received address confirmation PM some time ago, and no email or PM from him since then.

Sounds like he's spending more time on those 60%. Even round 2 people got their board, and I'm in round 1. :(

We talked about the order before new years, and you mentioned it would be faster if I could solder on the diodes myself. Haven't heard from you since.

I believe you can still put orders in. If not, Zeal is doing stuff as well. He should have the parts for the model 3 case. I'm on my mobile right now, so I really don't feel like linking it.

No worries, I'll try and find it myself. I've just been searching around to see if there's some sort of document/order form that I need to PM or email.

I agree. Most people frown upon this, but many are afraid to be vocal about it for various reasons. One argument, which I don't agree with, is that the GH60% group buy is taking just as long, if not longer.

I'll chime in. I've sent a PM and email to sprit with no response. I'm also part of R1. My inital order had 1 PCB, 1 aluminum plate (which I have found out fairly recently that the metal plates were scrapped and I prefer to have no plate than acrylic) and some springs from his other buy which he did message me saying that he still had remaining from R1 so it should be shipped with my order. No stabs ... no case. So I have been waiting this entire time basically for 1 PCB? Fun ... :rolleyes:

So I'm one of the lucky few that have received boards so far. Although my order was wrong (got R1 keyboard for R2 order), I'm just happy I got something... anything.

I feel like given the delays, and the amount of time people have been waiting, it is extremely unethical to continue taking orders. This is magnified in light that Sprit is extremely unresponsive on email/GH to existing GB participants. However, for new buyers, it seems that Sprit is extremely quick in invoicing, collecting money, and then vanishing for months at a time.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. This GB needs to be delisted from the GB master list, and Sprit needs to stop taking new invoices until more existing orders have been filled. It seems like only dozens, out of the hundreds of participants have received anything at this point.

I mean continuously taking on orders when people since 2013 have still had their orders unfulfilled with no responses.

It's unethical to continue taking on new orders, if current orders have over a year backlog, and are being left with very poor response. It's a slap to the face of all existing participants, when Sprit doesn't respond to any of their messages, but is extremely responsive to new buyers.

You have every right to be frustrated for not receiving your order in over a year. At the same time, keep in mind that there's more motivation for those that haven't received their orders to post here, than those who have; I'm assuming more people have received their orders than this thread shows. I certainly wasn't planning to post anything in this thread until I read the last few posts, but my personal experience here is that Sprit has been very helpful and responsive for the several times I had questions. I did order in december 2014 though... so there's another data point for ya. [attach=1]

Even the 60% orders are far from completed.

I too am one of the R1 participants who have paid back in 2013 and despite having received the first mail stating that my order is ready for shipping in July '14, I have not received anything yet.

While I still believe that Sprit is legit and not out to scam people, I do agree that it's ethically questionable to accept new orders - and apparently even get them sorted - before the backlog has been handled.

Also, his lack of communication is pretty bad and needs improvement.

I got this a month ago (more or less):
Hello! 
110% PCBs' controller parts installed and firmware test done. Only need to solder diodes for 110 Switches. 
Its quite simple job but takes a couple of hours time.
So sorry for that ! 
If you are OK for solering diodes, i am shipping enough 2 types of diodes with PCBs.


I answered I was OK with soldering on the diodes myself. Since then I've tried contacting him via email and this forum, but I've not heard from him.

I know a lot of people received their order, and some even have contact with him. But that doesn't make the problem we're facing any smaller. It may even be that more than half the orders are fulfilled (doubtful!), but it's still extremely bad practice to not communicate unless it's regarding him getting money for new orders..

Relax people.  I just go my order which was one of the ones he showed going out.  This is not a scam.  It is just a one man show and he is busy.  Packing and shipping 100s of orders is a HUGE job and it takes forever.  I know this because I own my own company and I do all of our shipping.  I am confident everyone will get their stuff.  I am willing to bet you will all get your stuff before the GH60 buy finishes.  That one as well is NOT a scam and we will all get our stuff in due time...

GBs are not easy and they take a lot more work than anyone realizes.  I talked to Sprit on the phone about 6 months ago and said that everything is a lot more work than he expected and it was a lot slower than he was hoping.  Then he got a new job and his spare time was drastically limited.  He has been doing a good job getting stuff out again recently, but it is going to still be slow.

You try soldering over 100 keyboards and sorting over 100,000 springs and such...  Its a ton of work.  Then packing and shipping everything...  Craziness...

Everyone needs to chill, he is not trying to scam anyone...

The only sad part of this is that when the GB started, it started with pcb only and the timeline was like 5 weeks. This was the main reason I got into this GB because I didn't want to get stuck in a super big GB like GH60 that never ends. But then Sprit added cases options and stabilizers options and springs options and started a round 2 and even a round 3 and even if he's delivering some stuff, things went way too big way too fast and he got some unexpected problems with the pcb not having all parts factory soldered.


I am not mad at him at all, I think he only got stuck into all of this. I just hope he could find a way to calm things, make a realist schedule and send things following this schedule (no crazy deadlines, no need to freak out with dates, just something in the likes: In the next to week I will send the stuff for people A,B and C, then the next 2 weeks it will be people D,E and F, etc.) This way we would only need to wait until it's our turn to receive our stuff.


Right now, people are stuck hoping to get their stuff at some point because even if Sprit send some stuff, it's not enough to convince everyone he will be able to deliver everything. If Sprit manages to make things more clear as to what we should all expect as a schedule for our stuff it would help a lot probably.

You, sir, must have the devil's luck to get your first order in May, and then another one recently.

As one of the R1 60% orders who is still waiting on reply's/goods, it is disconcerting that Sprit continues to take and ship new R2 orders. I think it's only reasonable to fulfill the orders as they were received, and possibly stop taking orders until the queue has been addressed.

Also, I don't understand why Sprit can't or won't send out R2 boards to fulfill R1 orders as he seems to have boxes of them.

That being said I'll continue to wait and hope for the best, because I have to at this point.

Right now, people are stuck hoping to get their stuff at some point because even if Sprit send some stuff, it's not enough to convince everyone he will be able to deliver everything. If Sprit manages to make things more clear as to what we should all expect as a schedule for our stuff it would help a lot probably.

Right... I'm fine to solder the diodes myself to speed up the process...

A good and transparent schedule is essential. I don't think this is a scam, but I'm unhappy with the procrastination and seeing R2 people receiving stuff before me R1 people.

Relax people.  I just go my order which was one of the ones he showed going out.  This is not a scam.  It is just a one man show and he is busy.  Packing and shipping 100s of orders is a HUGE job and it takes forever.  I know this because I own my own company and I do all of our shipping.  I am confident everyone will get their stuff.  I am willing to bet you will all get your stuff before the GH60 buy finishes.  That one as well is NOT a scam and we will all get our stuff in due time...

GBs are not easy and they take a lot more work than anyone realizes.  I talked to Sprit on the phone about 6 months ago and said that everything is a lot more work than he expected and it was a lot slower than he was hoping.  Then he got a new job and his spare time was drastically limited.  He has been doing a good job getting stuff out again recently, but it is going to still be slow.

You try soldering over 100 keyboards and sorting over 100,000 springs and such...  Its a ton of work.  Then packing and shipping everything...  Craziness...

Everyone needs to chill, he is not trying to scam anyone...

Nobody is saying this is a scam. Stop with this angle. I'm certainly not claiming Sprit is out to scam anyone, nor are 99.99% of the other posters here. However... continuing to take on orders... being EXTREMELY responsive to new orders (responding and invoicing in hours), then letting the backlog grow on old orders is unacceptable.

There are two main issues here:

1. Taking on orders when existing orders are being left unfulfilled, all while the clammer is getting louder from existing participants (and for good reason).

2. The lack and general flakiness in communication. Either not responding to PM's or emails, or making  countless self-imposed deadlines regarding shipping, breaking them, and going unresponsive after that. The fact that he is so responsive to new orders is just salt in the wound.

I get that soldering keyboards takes a long time. I understand that packing/shipping is tedious. You say that Sprits feedback was that everything was more work than he expected. If that is the case, why is Sprit continuing to take on new orders instead of clearing the massive backlog that he has now?

All I ask is that the mods delist this from the GB master list. It's not fair to the existing GB participants anymore. You bring up the GH60 buy... but notice GH60 isn't taking on any new orders.

This is the key question here.
I can't speak for him, but I know that he had to get a specific MOQ for each PCB layout in order to get them factory soldered.  I know he was short MOQ on some layouts for R2 for factory soldering, so that is very likely a reason why he is still taking orders and why R2 has been delayed. I know he had enough 60% orders, but the other layouts were short. I know he can't afford to solder everything like he did in R1. I think he was considering paying out of pocket to get those other layouts up to MOQ, but I think he was trying to avoid that since he is already heavily invested in this.

I don't know if this is still the case and I can't speak for sprit, but I am sure there are reasons for the delay.

Again, you're avoiding the most important question:

Why is he taking new orders, when the existing backlog is unfilled, growing, and increasingly vocal?

All I ask is that he stop accepting orders, and delist this buy from the GB master list.

> I know he was short MOQ on some layouts for R2 for factory soldering, so that is very likely a reason why he is still taking orders and why R2 has been delayed. I know he had enough 60% orders, but the other layouts were short.

None of this explains why R1 orders have been unfulfilled for so long.

>I know he can't afford to solder everything like he did in R1.

He's not soldering all the R1 orders. He's asking people to solder the PCB's themselves, then being flaky after that. As a previous poster said, all he's waiting on is the PCB, and he's even okay with hand soldering it.

> I can't speak for sprit

And the denouement. Sprit is on GH very often. Everyone can see his last logged in. Yet he rarely posts in this thread or answers PM's.

Why can't Sprit speak for himself?

I fixed that for you. In fact, I've offered to solder my own myself several times in emails to him but not heard back... I don't believe for a second it's a scam. He's clearly overwhelmed. But if he's sinking, he needs to reach out to people who want to help.

He told me he had the 110% PCB, but unsoldered. He asked me if I was OK with soldering myself, to which I replied "yes". So I don't think R2 is open to fill the non-60% MOQ, since he apparently already has the 110% PCBs..

I'll join everyone else in saying this is NOT a scam. I've ordered from Sprit before and got my order quite fast. I just think he is overwhelmed at the moment. Lack of communication is a concern for me though..

But then again.. I've gotten to the point where I've come to terms with seeing the money go to waste. Not getting my product. The project I needed the board for has been cancelled and a factory made keyboard has been bought instead.

I for one will not be buying anything from Sprit again, it seems he does not have the organizational skills to manage a group buy correctly. If it is popular, he simply can not cope with the amount of orders.. It's too bad, because he has had some good ones..

Although I certainly haven't been waiting even close to a year or more like some of you, but I'll at least post my interaction with him.

On Friday, January 9th, I placed the order early afternoon, and got the invoice from Sprit later that night. I paid for it, and we finalized a couple of the customization options. He told me that he would pack and ship my order on Monday. It's two weeks later, and I haven't heard anything. I emailed him, and am going to wait a little while for a response.

Although the Korea shipping estimate that I paid for states 1-2 weeks, I know it's not unreasonable for some products to take 6-8 weeks. That being said, 52+ weeks is absolutely insane in my opinion. Without updates of progress or whatever the heck is going on, I think the only feasible option is to speak with your wallet. Check your transaction on the Paypal website, because I know mine states that I can dispute up to 180 days after the transaction. For those who have been waiting almost six months, you may have an option if you don't want to wait any longer.

I hope I'm wrong about this, but I'm pretty certain that your order did not get packed and shipped, just based on reading the responses here. Let's just say Sprit isn't great at meeting deadlines.

It's mind-blowing that sprit is still accepting new orders given the backlog of R1 orders.
Perhaps those not familiar with the status of the group buy should be given a fair warning when before they order. It's only fair to potential buyers and to those who are waiting on their orders. There are MANY people still waiting on their 2013 orders! You are taking a substantial risk by placing an order with a person who has been unresponsive and flat-out ignoring emails/PMs regarding orders.

I emailed Sprit last Tuesday for an update, but got no response.
Today I received my order, which I placed less than a month ago (January 9th, 2015).
While I am happy that I got my money's worth, and actually received my product, I also realized that I shouldn't have been nervous in the first place. This should have been like any other transaction, and the only thing I should have been nervous about is someone stealing the package from my doorstep.

To everyone who has been waiting months, or even over a year; this sucks. There is definitely an issue here, and it is not being handled properly at all. When I can place an order and receive it in four weeks, when others have been waiting 52+ weeks, that's a goddamn problem.

Tonight, I found some interesting stuff for this PCB: a comprehensive guide and an offline application to remap the layout!

http://blog.winkeyless.kr/183 - Guide using the BootMapper Client
http://blog.winkeyless.kr/184 - Hardware macro keys
http://blog.winkeyless.kr/185 - General info
http://blog.winkeyless.kr/155 - Applications

Download both parts & extract part1 (should automatically grab part2) & extract the contents of bootMapperClient.core.V0.4.5.zip to the same folder.

If you open up bootMapperClient.exe, you basically end up in the same interface as the online version at http://boot.winkeyless.kr/bootMapper/. When the keyboard is in bootmapper mode, the application will register the keycodes (use the drop down menu to set the target to ps2avrU).

Uploading keymaps and macro's works fine (first unplug USB, press Q for 5 seconds, and plug the USB cable so all leds will flick, as said by sprit). I didn't try to flash the firmware, and I believe the other buttons in the options tab only apply to the ps2avrGB (another version of this PCB, which seems to have RGB LED support).

That info filled some of the gaps of infiniti's unofficial firmware guide (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=58945.0;topicseen) and sprit's post (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=50580.msg1256970#msg1256970).

This situation reminds me of what happened with Takaki a few years ago and his TKL acrylic case group buy. Beautiful pictures are shown, things are promised and supposedly the items are produced. There are some flaws but there are timely responses for replacements for the select few who's items are sent out, etc.. Then all of a sudden ... nothing. The organizer disappears. The magnitude of the buy too large for a single individual to handle. And here we are again, except instead of just acrylic cases, there are PCBs, switches, springs and assembly. I don't expect much of this anymore, rather I don't expect anything out of Sprit as I've chalked this up as a loss. Regardless of what Sprit says, I have no reason to participate in any type of buy that will come from him. I'd rather get a refund than anything as it'd pay for groupbuys that have actual great, reliable organizers. It's been a bit over one month since Sprit's logged in here at GH.

Time to move on and be wary of individuals who appear out of no where and promise delusions of great items only to be let down in the end. Lesson learned and for many, a hard lesson learned.

we can't freeze a paypal account after 90 days so that option is not viable, nor do I think it's effective. I do not believe sprit is out to scam, but freezing a paypal account makes it worse for both parts. Sprit looses money if he ships it out, which he won't if that's the case, and we don't get our money back. Best think we can do right now is to wait and hope

+1. The situation is unacceptable. Freeze his Paypal account unless we receive our stuff before a specific timeline. Four weeks from now?
we can't freeze a paypal account after 90 days so that option is not viable, nor do I think it's effective. I do not believe sprit is out to scam, but freezing a paypal account makes it worse for both parts. Sprit looses money if he ships it out, which he won't if that's the case, and we don't get our money back. Best think we can do right now is to wait and hope

Surely I don't want to do something ugly. But frankly, it really depends on if we think the stuff would be shipped out.
If it is, then freezing it is no good.
If it's not, then freezing it at least do some justice as we are not receiving our stuff anyways. Just wait and hope and see the money being taken out from PayPal and he's not returning?

I've been holding faith and hope for a long time already. Been told that the stuff would be shipped out but ended up not. Real frustrated that it holds up my several projects, and I missed a few opportunities to buy good stuff  because I believed Sprit will do his job. Emailed and PM-ed a few times, and I've done my part. Soon it's time for more actions.

"Justice" is not particularly useful. One might feel better for a moment in knowing that someone does not have access to their PayPal account, but it will eliminate even a slight possibility that Sprit will ship out the orders. I would personally rather there was less justice and more keyboards.

I am not just speaking theoretically. Sprit owes me 700 USD or 3.5 keyboards from November.

In any case I have a proposal! I suggest we fill in the form below with the details of our orders. This way we will at least have a rough idea of how many orders are not fulfilled and maybe we can find commonalities to draw conclusions from. This could possibly allow to push Sprit in the right direction... Maybe. Or at least have an idea if there is any progress on those orders created in 2013.

Keep the URL because you can edit your answer. Please fill in more then one form if you made several orders at different dates.

I think Sprit is doing everything he can to not get his paypal account freezed. That's prob why he prioritizes the newer order since those can report to paypal if they don't get the keyboard. WE are already too late

I believe this is the case.

He has two other buys going, and it seems like the springs buy is slowing down too. Initially, that buy was getting orders fulfilled... but there has been posting in that thread as well of not being able to contact Sprit.

Regardless, and this is the 3rd time I'll say it. The mods NEED to remove ALL Sprit buys from the GB master list. It's bad enough when users are resigned to not receiving anything, but it's even worse when new users are still throwing money into this hole.

I agree that it's time we do something about it. I personally believe my money is lost at this point. If I ever receive something, that's good, if not then it sucks. But he should at least prioritize fulfilling his first orders before taking new ones or not be able to take new orders at all.


At least it would prevent some more people getting screwed.


And if Sprit ends up delivering his stuff, then all the better. If not, then he managed to scam a lot of people...

I feel like Sprit is just a guy and he's trying his best to deliver to everyone that placed an order. But when you're faced with moving a mountain of orders, it might be easiest for him to fill the easy orders at the top rather (the 60% boards) rather than the more difficult ones that require soldering and whatnot. I just think that threatening him is probably encouraging him to clam up.

I just think that threatening him is probably encouraging him to clam up.


I used to think this, but here's the thing:


When he first started this group buy, he mentioned an expected completion time of about 4-5 weeks. This was the main reason why I joined. Then he added stuff and got some problems. This I can understand. But since then, he promised many times to many of us to deliver the stuff and never did so. He also often mentioned that the stuff itself was ready to be sent. This was many months ago. He also started another group buy for springs.


And he still takes new orders...


Out of RESPECT for all of us that got into this group buy AND PAID more than a year ago, he should not be sending stuff to those that just joined the group buy. Not because they should not get their stuff, but simply because he should not take more orders if he's not able to fulfill the orders that are more than 1 year overdue. If he's overwhelmed by this group buy, he should have stopped taking new orders a long time ago and deliver the stuff that he should have sent before. Then once this is done, he could resume taking new orders. This would be the way to go to get back some respect and trust.


I have nothing against him personally, but if he's really not scamming anyone, which I am really not sure anymore, then he should do 3 things:


1. Update this thread and post some realist estimates of delivery times for everyone involved yet.


2. Stop taking new orders until he has fulfilled the orders already paid for.


3. Deliver the stuff that was paid for and keep giving a status update at least once every 2 weeks or so. Could be each month as long as the stuff is delivered.




And if he has some problems that make it impossible to send us the stuff as expected, he should inform us and at least propose some solutions. I am pretty sure most of us would have preferred to get a pcb that lacks some soldering than not getting anything at all...


That's my opinion, you can have your own. For more than a year I have been keeping faith. Let's say that now my faith is very thin.

I just think that threatening him is probably encouraging him to clam up.

Not all the orders that are getting delivered are 60% boards, and users that don't even want a soldered PCB or case are still not getting their stuff. Essentially, some people are just waiting on a blank PCB.

Also no one is threatening Sprit. A user going to Paypal after paying $750 over a year ago, with absolutely no communication, and numerous broken promises... is 100% within his rights to think this is a scam. Sprit hasn't even been on GH in over a month. Let that sink in. He has 3 GB's up, one of which has users waiting since 2013, and he hasn't logged in over month. That would be fine if there was email communication, but there's no communication.

This is a chicken and the egg situation. You're claiming that Sprit is clamming up because of the users here. I disagree. I believe the participants in this GB, especially the ones from 2013, are absolutely within their right to start demanding more updates, and I'm frankly surprised it hasn't happened sooner. The community has been extremely patient with Sprit, and it is Sprit that has betrayed the confidence and trust of this community by refusing to communicate at all.

This situation is now reaching a breaking point. Where do we draw the line between "oh he's busy with work", to "he's scamming, and will not deliver." There's needs to be a delineation now. People want to see action, and I'm not surprised that people want to turn to Paypal for resolution. If that involves freezing Sprit's Paypal, well... nobody will receive goods after that, but were they going to anyway?

PS: Also, someone else can experiment. But Sprit is still responding for new orders placed. Even posts made 2 weeks ago claim such with a turnaround time of less than 24 hours before he'll give you an invoice. This is a huge red flag for me, and I'm surprised more people haven't latched onto this fact.

I don't think it is for Sprit to read. I presume he should have something like this of his own. For some reason he does not want to make public. I hope if people get on board and fill it in we will be able to track the progress of deliveries, or lack of such. Then we can draw a conclusion about whether there is slow progress or its something else that I hope it is not.

People keep mentioning that they want to work this out as a community. I think this is the best chance we have, considering lack of cooperation from the vendor.

I would encourage even those who have ordered recently and especially those who received their orders to fill in the form.

I think he's not the greatest communicator.  Even in his posts, he managed to show alot of pictures without any concrete updates, even downright evasive as to progress of the buy.  At least he didn't constantly blame other people for the buy issues?   ;D

A couple of months after I got my 2 75% pcbs (took just over/under a year to get, 10 or so months after paying for shipping, with semi-regular pokes for status updates), I get an email from PayPal, saying that sprit had sent me a payment.  It was for $300+ with no description given as to why.  Given that I tend to buy/sell crap when I get home a wee bit tipsy, my first thought was "What the hell did I sell to sprit for that much?"  It seems he had me confused with someone who wanted a refund on something.  After realizing that was the case, I (of course) reversed the payment.  To me that shows that he (at that point) was trying to make good on at least parts of the buy. 

I admit, I was stoked just to get my stuff to begin with.  I figured I had just pissed away the $140 or so the boards and shipping were, so I was more than delighted that things arrived.  It would have been the third time I got burned on a buy (takaki's acrylic case buy for a case + shipping, stabs from the prof's phantom parts buy).  I don't any of them started out as scams, I think they all just got in over their heads, and peaced out instead of asking for some sort of help.

Oh, I figure freezing the paypal account will guarantee this buy dies outside of what Zeal is selling.  So, plan on boycotting Zeal for supporting sprit?   :))   I'm picturing virtual pitchforks heading to DDOS Zeal's website now.   :thumb:

There's no reason to collect orders, have them produced and not distribute to "scam" you guys. I feel that he's just swamped with fulfillment right now. :/

Right. I don't understand what's still preventing him from shipping, as people already said ok to solder the diodes themselves for non-60 board. Unless there is other issue undisclosed.

Korean Lunar New Year holiday is from 18 to 20 Feb. So I could wait a few days more for him to show up.

Swamped with fulfillment as he may be, he was still able to take my money last month, process my order, and have it on my doorstep in less than four weeks.

Should Sprit hold orders until he fulfilled a certain amount of orders?  -- If was him, I would certainly... but it's his choice and the choice for the people that order...

We're (well, you.

Considering how lopsided things are, I'd recommend everyone fill it out. Even just having links to it on every page will  make new buyers understand what they're getting into.

And that you understand what I mean with broken promises take this as example,

Happy new year!! I am finalizing your HHKB,  plz wait a week or so!!  Thanks !!
Sprit wrote that to me on 2nd of January, yes, that was six weeks ago. I don’t want to get fooled anymore. Please administrators, interrogate sprit, whether he wants to stay silent or explain his problems. If he prefers to stay silent measures should be taken!

And, yes, it’s useful that as many fill the spreadsheet as possible for getting an overview about this issue. But my experience is, that the huge majority won’t do it. Some don’t follow this thread here, some read it sloppily and read over the call to fill, some don’t see any use to fill it, some are lazy, etc. pp. My guess is: if you call each and every person who might be involved into this GP by PM, than you’ll reach 30 % of all customers of sprit to fill the form. If not, maybe 2 %.

I can try to reach out to him and see what's going on, I want to see people getting their stuff or at least the money back.

A little off-topic, I learned my lesson, I only participate in GB's organized by people who proved they can deliver in a decent timeframe, waiting ages for some caps or other stuff is just crap, you get sick of it and in the end if you get the stuff you don't even need it anymore.

So if I can be of any help let me know

What exactly is the point of this form?

We're (well, you. I'm not in this GB) not trying to jog Spirit's memory; we're trying to get a handle on how big the problem is, and if there're any clear common denominators ("Oh look, Spirit hates shipping to Virginia and Texas") so that if/when we actually get ahold of Spirit again, we'll have an understanding of why he's falling behind, or at least can collectively bargain instead of being a teeming mass of unfulfilleds.

Considering how lopsided things are, I'd recommend everyone fill it out. Even just having links to it on every page will  make new buyers understand what they're getting into.
Exactly, and in the end of the day we have a record of what is happening. Which is valuable in it self if any future misunderstanding arise.

I've ordered 4 complete sets. 2x TKL, 2x 108. Plus other goodies, and extra sets of plates. No response from Sprit since him saying My order should be shipped out in 2 weeks back in October. I'm not sure what to do now...
If it has been less than six months since you sent payment, then you can dispute it on PayPal and either get a response or get a refund.

Been well over 6 months now. I ordered right before the initial phase of round 1 closed, and added on a few more goodies ( springs, switches, etc ) after round 1 closed.

I've emailed him and messaged him on this board several times.

What actions do we have available to us at the moment? I believe we can freeze his paypal account due to scamming*, and we may be able to get the forum administrators on this somehow too..


* regarding scamming: While some people have received their order, I will still call this scamming-esque. It varies a lot whether you get a response or not, whether you get your order or not.. It all depends on Sprits mood when you contact him it seems. When people can get their order within a year and others have to wait 2+ years there's clearly something very much wrong.

+1. The situation is unacceptable. Freeze his Paypal account unless we receive our stuff before a specific timeline. Four weeks from now?
we can't freeze a paypal account after 90 days so that option is not viable, nor do I think it's effective. I do not believe sprit is out to scam, but freezing a paypal account makes it worse for both parts. Sprit looses money if he ships it out, which he won't if that's the case, and we don't get our money back. Best think we can do right now is to wait and hope

Reporting him to PayPal for scamming and closing his account ensures he wont take money from more people. It wont give us our money back nor the product we ordered, but at this point I don't think the majority of us will get either of those anyway. We have not heard from sprit for ages, he does not reply on our emails or private messages and yet he keeps sending out invoices..

I absolutely think the situation is becoming untenable. Something needs to give at this point. If Sprit didn't want his Paypal account frozen, he probably shouldn't have started 3 GB's, take on hundreds of participants, then stop logging in for over a month and disappear. However, he does merit one final benefit of the doubt though. I think as a community, a public petition to Sprit should be made  through two avenues.

This petition would detail a deadline for when a public announcement is a needed, or people will start Paypal chargebacks, and his account will be frozen. It would be short, and non-accusatory, merely highlighting the major problems at hand: lack of/inaccurate communication, the problem with LIFO, and a shipping update. It would specify a date which he needs to have an update for the community, and the community reaction should he ignore that date. It would also feature an offer to help, he just needs to detail what he's behind on, and I'm sure there will be someone willing to step up.

This petition should be delivered in two ways:

1) Through Zeal. In this case, Zeal is merely a messenger for the greater community. He doesn't have to agree with the contents of the petition, but simply deliver the petition to him as a trusted intermediary.

2) Through the Korean forums. I don't know exactly which one, but Sprit is probably on KBDMania, KBDLabs, OTD, winkeyless, or one of the major forums. Members with access, and good-standing with each of the forums should post in each one.

This way Sprit will not have an excuse for not seeing it. It's unfair for everyone here to just assume Sprit will get all the orders filled, especially for the guys that have been in the GB for over a year, with nothing to show and no communication. It's clear that pressures are mounting and the situation is becoming more tense. One just needs to look at the increase in posting frequency to see that.

What do you all think of this idea? If a lot of people like this idea, I wouldn't mind drafting a petition for you all to edit myself. The key though, is to have a unified message rather than dozens of users individually messaging.

Freezing his account achieves nothing. He can still take orders to a different account and people will not get refunds even if they want them and/or keyboards.

I also have done this. It's a real shame. Part of the reason I joined this group buy was because Sprit seemed to have a strong reputation on Geekhack. I am fortunate that all the other group buys I've participated in so far have all come good. Obviously, I'm yet to hear back on this one. (part of group 1)

I'm only getting involved in GB's from people with solid track records now (Ivan, Feng, Ctrl[Alt] etc). I had a feeling this was going to turn to **** after sprit sent me my 60% with no soldering done and kept adding more and more stuff onto his plate without clearing out existing orders.

Makes me wonder if this just some big ponzi scheme. Ship out a few early orders while taking more and more money from others. **** for all we know he's ordered 100 PCB's and sold them 500 times. Wouldn't be hard to do considering the lack of transparency and selling on multiple forums with language barriers in between.

Depends on who you ask. For a select few it's weeks. For a few dozen it's months. For the vast majority it's TBD.

If you're thinking of getting into this GB, I'd recommend you sprint away.

My guess is that it something went wrong and ended up costing him more money than he had. A flaw in production or something, and he is unable to produce the boards without more money, and does not want to spend his own money in fixing the problem, and god knows we won't send him more.

A few thousand dollars in free ( and continually growing ) money is awfully tempting to hold onto an run as well.

I don't seriously think sprit is out there to scam anyone. It's painfully obvious that he's simply overwhelmed with the amount of orders and parts requiring shipment. Many outstanding orders from 2013 and early 2014 have yet to be shipped, yet he's been taking new orders since then and fulfilling them. Sprit has been transparent about the issue with some R1 PCBs needing manual soldering, but when customers have requested them to be shipped as is (myself included, sprit has been completely unresponsive or failing to meet a promised shipping date.

So, it really comes down to one question knowing all this: why is sprit been allowed to take in new orders for so long while unfulfilled orders exist from 2013? Surely, the admin team must feel like they can at least prevent this from happening which would help pressure sprit to finish the long overdue orders.

Zeal is the only known contact that has visited Sprit in Korea and talked to him on multiple occasions. He's since been silent on all of those after he's received his R2 shipment. My last conversation he mentioned his R1 stuff hasn't been shipped yet either. So at this point I'm at a loss..

And noone checked the identity of sprit before sending him money? No adress with name etc.? And this with sending him about 100,000 $? I can hardly believe that.

Of course someone knows his identity. What would you do with this information?

if I had to guess, he probably does not have the money in hand, most of it is probably being held by the manufacturing company, and sprit probably just miscalculated the cost of everything, and can't pay out of pocket to produce the items, and the company won't continue manufacturing without more money.

If you don't mind me asking, are you waiting for a refund from paypal or from Sprit? Also, when did you place your order? I placed my order over a year ago, and would love to get a refund if it's even possible at this point.

I don't think Zeal is actually getting any money from the products that haven't been delivered. he received products from SPRiT (which he did ship out to paying customers from his website. plenty of build logs can be found all over the Internet) but then SPRiT went missing and he is just as upset with it as some of you guys are, as he was paying for those to stock on his website as well.
it's NOT some sort of weird collaboration scam, but I can't really answer for SPRiT at all - I'd guess something came up and he's choosing the weak route for dealing with it (hiding until things are sorted).

tl;dr: don't give Zeal crap for this, he's not receiving any of the production money for SPRiT's buy.

Zeal has nothing to do with this group buy. The Simply 60 buy consisted of a batch order that he placed with sprit. Once that was fulfilled, he put the GB up on his own site. Do NOT PM/e-mail Zeal for inquiries about this GB.

I'm not saying Zeal has a responsibility but I'd appreciate he could contact Sprit to bring up the situation, as he appears to be the only contact now.

Or if he doesn't want to do us a small favor, we have to do something more. As there is other member having his contact, how about we mail or even call him?

If it makes you all feel better, I hit up Zeal just the other day, and tried to get more Sprit springs; he wasn't able to get any, and hasn't been able to get in touch with Sprit.

In other words, Zeal is just Sprit's biggest CUSTOMER, and is in the same boat as the rest of you.

Guys this is a bit of a longshot but I'd like to gauge interest, would you be willing to partake in a kickstarter to fund a flight to Seoul in order to meet with Sprit in person and shed some light on the situation and see how we can come up with a solution about this mess?

As it happen I am involved in another order from Seoul as well regarding a leather jacket. A lot of people have been waiting for their jackets for over 18 months with little or no communication from the guy - a situation very similar to what we are experiencing here. Maybe by combining the resources of both communities I could gather the 1k$ necessary to meet both persons. What do you think?

I guess it's my own fault for dropping $1100+ on a group buy the first time around. Frankly, I'm disappointed. Nothing I can do I guess than to learn from this. I'm more pissed off about the cases & switches than the PCB's tbh. Didn't need 4 different boards either.. my fault.

Most likely should have just disputed when days kept dragging on.

Disputing probably wouldn't have been within reason either.
Most group buys run far past the limit for when one can open a dispute, at least for what the limit was before.

I think talking about it here is useless.

This issue needs to be brought to the Korean boards for more resolution, or if they have more information about Sprit. Another thing to inquire about is if he ran the same GB over there, and if he did, then what that GB current status is. . Only there can people give advice about how to contact the relevant Korean authorities. For example. If someone scammed me in the US and I had their name, number, and address. I would contact their local sheriff's department for more information on how to best follow up.

So now let's get a list of who has access to what board. The major Korean boards are OTD, KBDMania, KBDLabs, and Winkeyless. I'll start, I have access to KBDLabs.

If you have an account on any of these boards, or if you are fluent in Korean please let everyone know. That way we can at least make a forum post, in Korean, inquiring about the whereabouts of Sprit, and ask if any members there have more information regarding him.

After chatting a bit with the members at KBDLabs.

It seems that Sprit has been blackballed by most of the Korean keyboard communities, and that KBDLab members already recognize him as a scammer. They also provided links to both Korean police cybercrime division, and the Cyber bureau:

I don't think I've ever seen Sprit on kbdlab.   As far as I know he was never a member there, unless he's posing under different name etc.

He stopped posting on kbdmania around late 2013~early 2014.  Someone told me he got banned from there after being accused of scamming someone.  I'm not 100% sure if that's true or not.  I couldn't find any admin post stating his ban.  But he hasn't been active for more than a year.

Hi All.
I'm a manager of Winkeyless.kr which is launched by me and "Hyodong(nicked Beastmask)".
As you know, lots of PCB circulated here in GH were designed by Beastmask.(faceW, a-series, b-series etc)
So he personally knows Sprit who wanted to buy the PCB in a bulk  and we ordered Sprit's gold springs a few years ago. Current contacts doesn't work. Recently his trace cannot be found in Korean KB communities.
But we know you all are much damaged and angry. In addition to that , I'm worried that Korean Custom Mechanical Keyboard engineers lose the reputation and faith.
If I get any helpful info, I'll let you know.

I've pretty much written off this group buy.

I forget the other group buy, but this seems to be similar -- where one person starts a GB, something goes wrong, gets overwhelmed, stops responding, disappears from previously visited forums, and people who bought into the GB are out of thousands, tens of thousands of dollars.

Yeah, it smells a lot like Ali's 60% alu case group buy. Good intentions at the start and then becoming overwhelmed and just hiding instead of trying to get it sorted.

moneys gone. Sucks to suck, but I figure one of 3 things happened.
1. Something physically  happened to him,
2. he got too big for his britches and production cost more than he thought and he can't get it going.
3. he saw all the money people were willingly throwing at him, and cashed out.

Should that be a GB requirement? Proof of quote from supplier?

companies don't give out details about other customers' transactions.

as far as the company is concerned, the gbo is the only customer and everyone is the gb is just a nobody.  this is completely the right course of action, otherwise, we'd have random scammers calling the companies and refunding all the money back to themselves.

I think the general feeling is either scam or Sprit became overwhelmed and rather than step up or ask for help, decided to run.

Whatever the case, I would not count on getting anything.

I think we'd prefer detailed updates rather then "shipping has resumed". It really doesn't tell us much.

How many are left to ship? Are all the parts actually ready or are some still in production? What about soldering, how long will that take?

To Sprit:

Given the delays of this buy, and the lack of transparency, I think it's critical that the 2nd point be resolved to make everyone a bit more calm. I understanding that responding to every email/PM is difficult, but more transparency is critical at this point.

I propose an open spreadsheet on Google Docs, with all the names of the R1 buyers, with an indicator whether their order has shipped or not. I think this would go a long way into giving buyers a sense of where they're at. Personally, I think this is a very reasonable request, and I've seen it done in other group buy's with great effect. People just want to know their status at this point, and understand the size and scope of where this GB is right now.

100x this. Don't bombard him. I have no doubt that Sprit is a good guy, and he is trying to get your orders out.

At this stage I'm sure refunds aren't an option as his funds have been invested into the products and to try and eek one out any way you can will simply destroy his motivation.

In hindsight saying that your keyboard is ready for shipping and asking to pay said shipping, and then not sending the keyboard 8 month, is a clear sign that something is very wrong. I would say the reason sprit showed up is because people from the Korean community started showing up with their concerns. He is probably still hoping to do some business in the future, and that somehow hurts him. I wouldn't hold my breath for anything moving forward until we see shipping really resumed.

Right, I find it amazing that people still have faith in him. Another scam (I hope is not but probably) from Korea.

He refuses to reply to my emails, PMs when I wanted to sort out problem. I wonder if those boards requiring manual soldering is actually a lie, to procrastinate things.

Perhaps that's just a bot with pre-defined messages showing up in every x month. No shipping would actually take place.

Hilarious... How does no one here raise concerns during the buy? Surely there is is enough crossover between communities. Well I am semi new to this and learning slowly that you should be very ****ing careful with putting money into people running things for the first time or without rock ****ing solid reputation.

It is such a convoluted scam. I just don't understand why he ships some things and then ****s other people over. Then ships massive orders to Zeal etc. The dedication to keep this going for year knowing you gonna **** all these people over is impressive, and disgusting.

In some ways it's similar to a money changing scam I experienced.

The money changer would advertise high exchange rates (offering more than online exchange rates). He makes a couple of legitimate exchanges to attract customers. On subsequent customers (who've probably heard of these impossible rates), he would use a sleight of hand trick to give you the illusion that you've received the amount he counted.

In some ways it's similar to a money changing scam I experienced.

The money changer would advertise high exchange rates (offering more than online exchange rates). He makes a couple of legitimate exchanges to attract customers. On subsequent customers (who've probably heard of these impossible rates), he would use a sleight of hand trick to give you the illusion that you've received the amount he counted. If you're observant, you'll be able to watch him sweep money under the desk as he hands the stack of notes to you. It's quite a decent magic show haha.

There is nothing magical about this.

After the DrugER/JACKASS scam this story isn't the best overseas advertizing for koreans.
And this is really a pity
Yeah sprit actually did a similar trick on the korean community right before he started the group buy here  :rolleyes:

You mean starting a group buy and leading people on, and then disappearing?
yup

Hilarious... How does no one here raise concerns during the buy? Surely there is is enough crossover between communities. Well I am semi new to this and learning slowly that you should be very ****ing careful with putting money into people running things for the first time or without rock ****ing solid reputation.

It is such a convoluted scam. I just don't understand why he ships some things and then ****s other people over. Then ships massive orders to Zeal etc. The dedication to keep this going for year knowing you gonna **** all these people over is impressive, and disgusting.

Money moves people in mysterious ways.

Just doing my quarterly check-in on the group buys that I'm waiting on. I was initially glad to see Sprit shipping some stuff and having regular communication, back in Dec. Then (no surprise) he disappears for over 2 months and expects us to believe that the flu or pneumonia or whatthe****ever prevents him from turning on a computer and typing out an update once/week. I'm a R1 75% keyboard purchaser. Today marks exactly 15 months since you took my money. YOU, SPRIT, ARE THE PRIMARY REASON THAT I DON'T COME TO THESE FORUMS ANYMORE. I just can't come here without the constant reminder of being ****ed out of my money. Thanks for nothing you worthless ****bag. You took my money and everyone else's when you didn't have the MOQ for the order, you stopped answering my PMs, and continually disappear with no explanation. Just give me my money back and I'll go find a keyboard somewhere else.

Here is another rendering (from OneHourTranslation.com), not that it makes any difference:

I don't think that the HelloGuide issue has been settled.
It has been 1-2 years since the last contact, and many people have sent emails and messages asking for "Spirit's" contact information and who exactly "Spirit" is. I think that the trust of many Korean users has been lost due to this event. You may end up taking care of it, but it is my hope that our joint sales won't suffer to the extent we are worried, and that this will clear up. The days are still cold even though it is just about spring. Take care of yourself in all that you do.
That's all for now. Well, good luck.

I briefly got excited after seeing the "to Ship tomorrow" post. The thought that Sprit proved my judgement wrong was actually relieving.

Then I realized that it was a quote dated from mid-December. Soon after I realized that half the people he was "shipping out the next day" for, still hasn't received anything.

This GB is so depressing, and the people still defending Sprit should be ashamed of themselves.

He hasn't logged back on GH after his post a few days ago. It seems like the timestamp on his post, and when he was last seen was 40 minutes. That means he browsed around, clicked a little bit, ignored all of his PM's, then disappeared again.

I think I can speak for all the rational folks at this point and say "**** Sprit". I'm sure you guys can read between the asterisks. I sincerely hope he will prove me wrong on this point, but I just don't think it will happen.

Nah part of me still thinks he'll honor the deed. Must take some manning up to post here for him given how insulting some people are - not that I am arguing about the legitimacy or lack thereof. Just consider this: if you were to scam dozens of people online would you show up on the thread 3 months after disappearing? What would be the point? He isn't selling any more.

>Nah part of me still thinks he'll honor the deed.

Yes. He's clearly honoring the deed when he has repeated lied, made promises, and lied again.

Read the above shipping notice. He told dozens of people he would ship "tomorrow", in December, then never did. He told other people he needed to confirm their shipping address, took more money from them (for shipping of course), then disappeared. Him coming back to make one post means absolutely nothing. He left for 3 months. Made a one single post. Responded to no messages. And hasn't been seen again.

> Must take some manning up to post here for him given how insulting some people are - not that I am arguing about the legitimacy or lack thereof.

This sentence is disgusting, and is pure victim blaming. Are you seriously blaming us for "insulting" him, when this GB has degenerated to a point where people gave him money 15 months ago, and can't even get a response out of him? Not to mention that Sprit has lied again and again to the participants of the GB. Nothing he says at this point is trustworthy, when he has demonstrated repeatedly that his promises means absolutely nothing.

>Just consider this: if you were to scam dozens of people online would you show up on the thread 3 months after disappearing

Dozens? Try hundreds. And yes, if I was in his position I would post, because apparently people like you are buying it hook, line and sinker. It just extends the time before people take drastic action and this GB blows up entirely.

The issue isn't just the timespan, it's how the GB organizers are handling the situation. Sprit just makes empty promises, lies, doesn't respond to anyone, and disappears for months at a time.

Sprit has been having health issues. I see he has shown up in here, but don't burry him with PM s and emails if you want him to get through the actual shipping.

When your package is packed up and ready he will probably contact you (he did that for me).

I understand what you say Swill, but the fear that most of us have is that Sprit could once again ship some stuff to 1-2 people so that we stop worrying and putting pressure on him and the disappear for 5-6 months again. It's been more than a year many of us ordered and got nothing yet. And up to now, there's still a high risk of getting nothing at all. While it is possible that Sprit was ill, we have no proof. And many group buys have ended up being scam so we all have legitimate fears.


All we ask is that he put up a list of shipping and actually start shipping it at a reasonable rate. If he ships 5 orders a week for 2 months, people will be happy even if it takes 2 month to get their stuff sent because at least they will know he is sending the stuff and that it's just taking some time because he needs to send a LOT of stuff. That's normal. But if he send stuff to 2 persons and then that's it for 6 months, we will believe that he will never send all the stuff we ordered and that's bad.


I myself have invested around 100$ in this and I am pissed to some extent that I received nothing yet. But many people ordered for MUCH more than me and are in the same situation I am and if I was down 1k$ I would be utterly pissed. Yet if he ends up delivering the stuff and keep putting some minimal updates all will get ok in time.

And many group buys have ended up being scam so we all have legitimate fears.

I don't know why you feel that there is a "high risk of not getting anything at all".  I understand that things have not been moving as quickly as everyone would like (sprit included), but things HAVE been getting shipped.  Yes, only in small bursts and not as frequently as everyone would like, but its not like the product isn't being made and he is just scamming.  He is actually producing stuff and people are getting them.  If this was just a scam he would not actually have gotten keyboards made and shipped them. 

This is the first GB Sprit has ever run.  Even when he had more free time and everything was moving along pretty well last year, he was already overwhelmed.  I skyped with him a couple times then and it was clear to me that it was difficult for him to know how to keep the threads updated and the community informed in a way that everyone would be happy.  English is not his first language and trying to give you all quality updates is not as easy as we are making it out to be. 

Last year he changed jobs and it seems that the new job has required him to travel more.  I don't know about you guys, but when I have to travel for work, when I get home, my wife and family get priority over hobbies.  Yes, I don't have other people's money on the line, but my point is that the amount of time he had to work on this was greatly reduced.  Yes, we all saw a sharp decrease of activity from him and he updated less in this period.  He has recently been sick to add to it all, so I think we need to be a little more forgiving for his lack of communication.

I have suggested that he basically ignore all of his PMs, try to keep the thread updated with what is going on and only focus on getting orders together.  In my opinion, the PMs are just slowing things down.  The time he has to put into those is free time he wasn't able to use towards getting stuff done.  We will see if this suggestion helps...


All we ask is that he put up a list of shipping and actually start shipping it at a reasonable rate. If he ships 5 orders a week for 2 months, people will be happy even if it takes 2 month to get their stuff sent because at least they will know he is sending the stuff and that it's just taking some time because he needs to send a LOT of stuff. That's normal. But if he send stuff to 2 persons and then that's it for 6 months, we will believe that he will never send all the stuff we ordered and that's bad.

If we can simplify his life and just have him post little status updates in the thread as progress is made, I think that should be good enough.  I think we, as the community and his customers, should be trying to help reduce the busy work he has to do and see if we can focus on a simpler on-the-fly update system for him so he can do small bits of work and give an update and not have to worry about maintaining a public representation of everything he does. 

I myself have invested around 100$ in this and I am pissed to some extent that I received nothing yet. But many people ordered for MUCH more than me and are in the same situation I am and if I was down 1k$ I would be utterly pissed. Yet if he ends up delivering the stuff and keep putting some minimal updates all will get ok in time.

Yes, GBs are tricky.  We invest lots of time and money into these things and everyone enters with the best intentions and then life happens.  In the end it is one person trying to share his passion for keyboards and he probably bit off a little more than he was ready for in his first GB.  I am confident that he will deliver, hopefully in 2015.  :)

I understand. I got both my round one orders. Yes, he said he was going to get them in the mail and it took another month or so for them to get shipped.  But I got them.  I think everything just takes longer than he expects. He tries to keep everyone happy by telling them what they want to hear, but then it takes longer and people don't understand.

It will all work out.  I have been back and forth with sprit a bit today regarding this. He is going to try to give weekly updates. Even if they are one line updates to say "I didn't have time to work on this this week".

Small steps to climb the mountain.

I understand. I got both my round one orders. Yes, he said he was going to get them in the mail and it took another month or so for them to get shipped.  But I got them.  I think everything just takes longer than he expects. He tries to keep everyone happy by telling them what they want to hear, but then it takes longer and people don't understand.

It will all work out.  I have been back and forth with sprit a bit today regarding this. He is going to try to give weekly updates. Even if they are one line updates to say "I didn't have time to work on this this week".

Small steps to climb the mountain.


The thing I fear is that you might be on the "lucky" side if he ends up failing, or you might be true and he will end up sending the stuff to everyone.

I think people these days often forget intent, effort, and apologies do not excuse wrongdoing. I'm confused when people call a piece of work a masterpiece automatically just because someone tried their best. Something poorly done is something poorly done - I don't think anyone believes this groupbuy was necessarily good by any means but defending it is just silly. No one here is saying we are 100% sure this was a scam either. It is, however, true Sprit has wronged us by continuing to mislead and more importantly avoid problems at hand. Instead he just apologizes or gives poor excuses that do not completely add up. When you do a wrong I believe you should fess up and come completely clean. I really do not believe anyone here considering how patient we've already been would blame Sprit if he needed a break or help if he was just completely honest and transparent with us.

It's up to Sprit to get things back on track, or ask for help to get the group buy completed. Plenty of folks have offered to help, including myself, so if he needs a hand I hope he takes what has been offered already.

Going back and forth defining the problem in different ways isn't going to change anything. Time will tell who's opinion is right and who's is wrong. Noise and opinions are never lacking here, but patience is always at a premium.

Unfortunately, what's needed most right now is more patience.

I really don't want to stir up trouble--at this point all I can do is leave sprit alone and hope he ships my order.  If he doesn't have my stuff, spam messaging him isn't going to help make it appear.

But now you guys are talking about right vs wrong.  sprit is definitely in the wrong.  He has promised shipping dates with multiple revisions.  Right now he is basically sitting on an interest free loan from many users.  My loan to him is small, $300 and under.  But some here are claiming over $1k spent on this drop, and collectively we have spent a strong amount.

I have averaged 20% return on investment over the past 3 years.  sprit has my cash, and now I can't invest that generate a return.  We entered a sales agreement with a promised shipping date, and that has been pushed many many times.  This is a breach of contract.

I would be fine if he had said "this will ship in Dec 2015 or Jan 2016" and stuck to it.  It's this endless darkness with no light to run to that's bothering me.

Uhm? no you didn't. There is no 'contract' no legal binding agreement, or promise of anything. Group buys are basically giving money to strangers hoping they will provide you with what they are claiming they can provide.

I'm all against sprit, but you are owed nothing.

This is because you have received your stuff that you have no cost of defending him. If you didn't receive anything, will you still say the same?

There are unfortunately a lot of users on the same boat with me waiting for shipment. It's really frustrating to wait for more than a year, simply unreasonable, whatever the excuse.

I do hope Sprit would clear it up, just disclose the problem he's facing. If it's just purely shipping takes time, then things should have simply been moving, even slowly.

I must say I disagree with you. We paid for our stuff and it's Sprit's obligation to fulfill. Just that he's in Korea while we in other countries that makes it difficult for us to ensure this happens.

sorta depends on which court you're suing him in.

in asia, maybe not.  in usa, i would imagine it's similiar to canadian laws and verbal agreements are binding once there has been an exchange of money.  can you sue someone from another country?  i believe you can as long as it qualifies under the extradition laws and there is no 'free pass clause' that can be used and if you can actually get them into the country.

since this is on an internet forum, everything is written which makes everything even more convincing to a court.

fancy stuff like signatures and legalese isn't strictly required for the lower courts, it just makes for a better case and to minimize he said/she said.

I agree there is chance of failure, but that doesn't mean there is no obligation.

If you buy from online store of big company, you still have a risk of no delivery, just that the risk is low.

Unless you tell me whenever there is risk of failure, there is no obligation. What a logic.

I've received LEDs, diodes and springs.  That was about a year ago.

I have the same feelings as swill, I think Sprit is just overwhelmed.
I hope he pulls through.

I received springs back when he first put them up, but since they are different group buys, I'm just not so sure about my keyboard that I purchased from him. We had exchanged PMs a long time ago about myself being willing to solder everything myself, but nothing ever came of it.

I received 2x 75% PCBs with clear acrylic plates and 1x 60% PCB with a clear acrylic plate. I had ordered aluminum plates, but he had some issues with them so we switched my plates to acrylic. I think he is only offering acrylic plates now. I also got over 1000 springs, kytox (sp?) oil lube and all the resistors and diodes to do all the smd work myself.  I also got stabilizers.

I think there was other stuff, but I am drawing a blank.

Everything I got worked pretty much perfectly and was of excellent quality.

This is why I am confident this is not a scam. He would not have hand soldered all those boards and gotten his family to help him count springs if it was a scam. The quality if these PCBs is great, there was time and energy getting these made.
I know he had some issues at the beginning which really hurt his progress and has put a big damper on this buy. He didn't hit moq to get round one factory soldered, so he was doing them all by hand. The first round of springs had defects, so he had to have the factory redo them. He ran into moq issues with the aluminum plates and had to basically change everyone's order to acrylic and work that out with them.

He tried to offer everything that everyone would want on his first buy and he bit off more than he could chew. Now he is left trying to get everything straight to get everyone what they paid for, but on less time.

Yes, he needs to start getting some orders out, that is true, but I am confident that his intentions are good and this is not a scam.

The reason I am one of the "lucky ones" is because I was understanding about the problems that arose and was willing to compromise. He felt bad that he shipped mine not soldered, but I needed the smd practice anyway.  :)

You can check my build log in my signature to see what I got...

Thanks @swill for the detailed report. I appreciate your note. But Your defence doesn’t consider one critical aspect: when someone is overwhelmed or in other ways unable to comply the verbal contracts, then he is obliged to refund the money. There is no reason to legitimate cutting communication and refusing to refund. And intentions can turn from good to bad. However, it doesn’t help to lose countenance and insult sprit (as limitz did). But it seems that a crime is going on, and I’m not happy about people here who defend this. Why? Because before I transferred my money to sprit I was sceptical. I would have never ordered something if there were not people like you who told me “sprit is reliable, trust me”.

It's not that easy in a GB. Money is used to buy the products, it can't just be refunded on a whim.

If you would look in the past couple of pages, we can assume he does, because there is a picture with a lot of plates and stuff with multiple other boxes filled as well.

Oh, so I see dead people in this thread :o

Anyway, regarding the "don't PM Sprit as he needs to focus on shipping", if he can ignore us for 3 months, he can ignore us for a bit more while he ships. I'm not too worried..

At any rate, I've given up on group buys completely. There's always bad time management, border-line bad communication leading to a bad experience.

Hope to get a keyboard, but really, I still doubt it. As long as Sprit doesn't open up for new orders I keep a glimmer of hope, but if he starts accepting new orders I will be 110% sure he's back to scam more people out of their money (incidently the same size PCB I ordered).

Glad your back Sprit. Hope you are feeling better.

Is it possible for me to get an update on my order? It would really make me feel at ease, more so if you can ship it out. Since I'm more than certain my order is the most complicated and one of the larger ones here.

Those updates are real hollow when he did the exact same thing in December, and nobody got their keyboards shipped. Several of the guys on the "To Ship Tomorrow" have been waiting 3+ months since that post.

Dude, you are getting updates, you should be happy about that.  Give the guy a break ffs.  He is obviously getting back into the swing of shipping stuff again.  I am sure it is not very motivating to have to put up with you guys gripping and *****ing every time he checks the thread.  Its this type of attitude that leads to radio silence.

No, Sprit's attitude caused this outlook on this GB. Not the opposite way around.  As far as being happy about getting updates, it's been proven time and time again that Sprit's word is meaningless as he constantly breaks his own deadlines. How many users have been told that he's "shipping tomorrow" only to wait months? Telling me to be "happy" to get 2 updates in all of 2015 is ridiculous, it's almost April.

No thanks. Until I see some users actually receive their keyboards, I'll reserve judgment. Last time everyone lauded him for resuming shipping December, only a handful of users actually received anything as evidenced by the previous posts.

When you take in tens of thousands of other people's dollars, have half-assed communication, break your own promises numerous times, benefit of the doubt goes out the window.

I recommend you never run a GB because I guarantee you we would all get shafted...

You are straight up neglecting to factor in reality. Sprit has invested his own money into this so he could get some board variants to moq because he did not have enough orders for him to keep his "promises".  He has probably invested more of his own money in this than you have.  You know how many different iterations of plates and cases he has gone through?  No, of course not because you would rather sit there on your high horse and *****.  I happen to know that the plates that you will own when you get your order will be better than the ones I own. I know this because sprit has improved his plates in this process based on mine and other first receivers feedback.

You probably shouldn't joint any more GBs because this attitude is guaranteed to sore them as well...

Put another way, are you (hypothetical you) more interested in getting your keyboard, or your pound of flesh? What actions under your control will increase the probability of your desired outcome?

Also note the non-trivial probability of getting neither, and what actions are best for your personal well being in this case.

I certainly wouldn't make promises I can't fulfill, and then proceed to break them time after time. If I did that on my job, I'd lose it the 2nd time it happened. My issue with this GB is not so much the time, it's the lack of response, and how Sprit likes to break promises time and time again.

Why tell people you're going to ship, if you're going to disappear for 3 months? Why tell me you'll "ship tomorrow", extract a "shipping fee" from me, then not do anything/respond to messages?

>No, of course not because you would rather sit there on your high horse and *****.

Because it's apparently acceptable to take in tens of thousands, make unfulfilled promises, then leave for 2 months. How do you respond to the user, who had Sprit take money from him for shipping, tell him he's "shipping tomorrow" (in July 2014), and still hasn't shipped. You think that's acceptable?

BTW, please explain why Sprit's blackballed from most of the Korean community. He's not trusted in any of them, and certainly is not trusted to handle a GB. There's allegations of scamming in several of the prominent forums.

>You probably shouldn't joint any more GBs because this attitude is guaranteed to sore them as well...

My attitude is caused by the organizer, not the other way around. Look at Ivan's GB's, look at the SIP mod GB, look at the dozens of other Kustom GB's. None have turned out like this.

The attitude of the users is a reflection of the GB. If you break promises numerous times, then don't expect the attitude of the users to be good. This is not a reflection of GH so much is it a reflection of how ****ty Sprit has been. You get out what you put in.

Sprit apologists like you only encourage other GB's to be run in a crap manner. It's unbelievable how you can still engage in victim blaming, when clearly it is the GB buyers that got shafted. I bet you'd be singing a different tune if you had $1,XXX in the GB, and haven't received product or message for over a year.

The thing is, sprit has proved he was trustworthy with the springs he has been shipping. He is a seasoned veteran at GB's, but there sometimes are unforseen issues that you don't expect or plan for, and this is probably what happened to sprit. Most people who have GB's that last longer than expected had no intention of it happening, and most of the time it is a manufacturing error, and usually they can't do anything about it.

WhiteFireDragon proved he was trustworthy until he wasn't. So was DrugER. Springs are a lot lower value than keyboards.

You might ask why I'm so skeptical. It's because I've seen, and personally have been on the receiving end of so many broken promises from Sprit. From "shipping tomorrow", to "shipping in 2 weeks", to him telling other users the same thing, and not shipping or responding.

Trust is something that once you lose, it's very difficult to gain back. This is the situation of this GB. Until I see actual improvement, and R1 users receiving their stuff, I'm on the fence. Last time he did the same thing where he showed some people boxes, only to disappear months on end.

You really have no clue.  It is truly amazing...  :(

The GBs you listed are tiny when compared to this.  And Ivan is a GB wizard at this point, he runs the smoothest GBs on here.  He even has issues now and then.  Stab wires have been taking forever, I am not complaining, but that **** happens. 

Now just to make things fair (and because I am sick of your bull****), all of your posts have to be in Korean.  Google translate is fine, but now its your turn to have to keep everyone informed with your updates in a foreign language...

GH has such a victim blaming complex. Only person who should be cut off from GB's is Sprit himself... like he was in the Korean community.

Nonetheless, we'll see. The message he posted was essentially identical to December 2014, and hardly anyone listed in that message received anything, despite the "shipping tomorrow."

I love how everyone is ignoring that blatant line.

if this is 'on the fence'...what exactly do you plan on doing when you 'cross the line'?

you talk like a terrorist dude....THIS IS NOTHING.  TOMORROW, I WILL CUT OFF 10 HEADS!!!!


pls

EDIT:

seriously cut it out.

you're wasting people's time.  don't be surprised if you're cut off from GBs in the future.

no.  analogy.  i said you were like a terrorist.

'need to prove to me' - this is obvious right?

'on the fence' - pretending that you haven't actually done anything yet, so you can't be blamed, yet saying that you will if you disapprove in the future...

trust me, even if sprit is wrong, you haven't been good in any way either.  ALTHOUGH A TERRORIST WOULD NEVER ADMIT TO DOING ANYTHING WRONG.

This is laughable. You need to look up the definition of terrorism. No seriously. Google it. Hint, it shouldn't be used in conjunction with keyboards.

"On the fence" means I'm highly skeptical to what the outcome of this most recent Sprit interaction will turn out to be due to historical precedent, and his poor track record.

I'd love to be proven wrong, and in fact, hope Sprit does.

OK,  I got you guys' feelings.  The silly pics yesterday was just an head up. 

I will just focus on updating shipping list every week.  This will be a single guideline for now,  Not to publish individual vague promises.
Beside the weekly Reconfirmation group email,  separate personal emails may not get answered quickly.
All the simple parts orders had shipped out,  PCBs and Case related orders are under shipping.
Hope we see the end of this GB soon.  Thanks!   ;)

:(

Is it selfish to ask Sprit to ship my order first? It's a little bit scary given the commotion around the area, and I think it would be good to have one of the larger orders be shipped out first, so people know Sprit is able to keep his word.

I have just over $1000 worth of items from Sprit. 2 87%'s, 2 110%'s, cases, plates, switches, full set of springs, LED's.

Hello!
I am considering several big size orders to ship in 2 times, because 60% and 110% are difficult to pack together in a box. Some of the small parts are shipped to them during the springs proxy GB, or direct from  me. Need to discuss in email soon.
Thank you!

Oh, I'm not sure what's his priority of shipping out stuff, as I paid earlier than you did. Perhaps your order is smaller than mine, as I have a few accessories as well as the 80% board + case.
Kindly post some photos when you got it.  :cool: I do hope you would have the products in hand soon.

Sprit could we get an idea of the amount of orders left to fulfill?
Hello !  definitely far less than 100, a little bit more than 50 shippings!     :'(
 
* added : Because Stabs, Springs, R2 orders had been added since last January,  I am working on two Forms, comparing later changes, etc.
I see around 3-4 pages left to ship further from now.    The 60% small R2 GB to meet the MOQ had all shipped out by Dec.  Springs GB too.

I also enjoyed my 68g springs.  I used them for a bit when testing a new build I did for someone and it was an interesting weight with browns.  It was kind of brain bending to be honest.  Its like a subconscious bump (even less noticeable than stock browns), but my brain was still picking it up.  I think I am going to do 65g browns for my next build though.

Oh man, a fellow geekhacker in Sprit GB, that's in the OC? Woo!

I think we'll get our stuff, my hopes have gone up slightly since the news, but I'm still skeptical.

I'll have to be honest, my hopes are high again. Got an email with Sprit confirming my order details, I forgot how much of a total pain all of this is, especially my own complicated order.

Quick update to let everyone know I got my R1 order from Sprit earlier this week, I didn't post here earlier because I couldn't get the board to work which as I suspected turned out to be because of a faulty cable. It now performs well.

Props to Sprit for the awesome packaging, everything was neatly arranged and double wrapped in plastic air bubble thingy, springs, leds and switches contained in separate plastic bags themselves contained in cardboard boxes which prevented plate and pcb to move around in the package. I wouldn't have done a better job if I had only one package to send, so I image as many must be a pain. Sprit also added some extras such as pcb bolts for my future case, plastic feet and resistors.

The plate sits flush on the PCB, it's a real pleasure to witness. I look forward to soldering :-)

Sprit forgot the cherry stabs in the initial package and sent me some right away. A+ service!

*  A Single Guideline for now This Weekly Shipping Update will be. 
Just to Simplify all the efforts and works, and Not to publish individual vague promises.  Beside the weekly confirmation group email,  separate individual emails may not get answered quickly.

*  Several big size orders may ship out in 2 times, for example, 60% and 110% are difficult to pack together in a single box.  Discussions are on going thru emails atm.  Thank You Guys!   ;)

Hi Sprit,

We talked back in December 2014, and you said my PCB was ready if I was OK to solder the diodes myself.
Since then I've not heard anything from you. What's the status on my 110% PCB order?

Hi!  TLExile!  Hope it goes alright!   ;)
Your package had a flight from Korea to Canada on 24th (Flight No. DL158) as You know.
I got some reports of delay to North America around the Easter.
Can You ask your Post for the details on delivery?

Don't worry yet. My package seemed to fall off the earth for a while and then just showed up.  It can take up to 4 weeks to be delivered and my tracking did not update.  There is one system (can't remember name) which gave me a reasonable ballpark of what was going on via the tracking.

Try this http://www.17track.net/en/ for tracking, is very good and it worked for me in 98% of the cases  :thumb:

Hello, Guys!
I have been working on unifying all the changes and updates into - One single spreadsheet,  it's done.
Slow this week due to feel sick, but will finish communications on this Sat and Sunday -  with the Guys of This week.
Many are packed, but need the Final confirmations thru pics and emails, and will ship most of them by Tuesday.

After that, the communications with   -   Lastpilot,  Hzza ......   will start.     and END ?   ::) 
Thanks Always!   ;)

5mm thick Acrylic plates fit almost every 60% PCBs.   
But when the PCB has small SMD LEDs on the surface (Poker I pro,  Pure 60%,  Nerd v2.0, etc),  You have to sacrifice the Plate to 3mm thick.
However, if You put 2x3x4mm size LEDs inside the switches, you can have 5mm thick plate.
By the way, As We know,  small smd LEDs usually have shorter life.  It can be problematic.

Your order is very similar to mine, 87% Blue & White. You're going to have an awesome keyboard  :). I just can't wait for mine.

We share similar taste. It's gonna be a good board. :)
I'm building mine in mid-May. Have to lube, sticker and change springs for my MX clear first.

Just received my order this morning! (Thanks a lot for saving me around 80$ for customs by declaring the package as "content: plastic box, value 5$"  :p)
All the others already mentioned: The packaging was superb, everything seperated nicely in small pouches, plus a huge load of bubble wrap  :thumb:
Sprit even sent some extras (e.g.: a full batch of 60g gold springs) plus the cute korean stickers  :-*

This is probably not the best of my builds, but by far the funniest.
I totally hurried to the lab to get the soldering and stuff done, and had to unsolder some of the switches a few times due to short-sightedness <_<
The firmware was pre-installed as promised, and everything booted up and worked perfectly - currently writing this post on the new board before heading to bed.
All in all, I'd say that the wait was worth it, the board is very nice!

My small build log can be found here (http://imgur.com/a/Za9hF)!

He emailed me a couple days ago re the 60% group buy, which I regretfully backed out of due to being in too deep with this buy to justify it.
I'm pretty sure he chipping away at this, slowly but surely.

I'd like to make a public apology to Sprit.

Just got my keyboard today, and I definitely want to say that this GB has been a learning experience for me in terms of patience, and as well as judging people prematurely.

Since I slandered Sprit in a public forum, it's only fair that I make an apology the same way.

So.... Sorry Sprit! Will definitely take this as a learning experience moving forward. Hope you accept my apology.

I guess I have to come out now as well.

I've received the first part of my order. The packaging was super awesome. The Gold Springs & Gold stabs are just pure KB pr0n. Very awesome stuff. I'm still waiting for the other parts.

For those that I threw under the bus, My apologies. It was just very tough to deal with after coming back on GH and realizing that all progress has stopped and I had quite the order.

Swill, Sprit, my most sincere apologies for being irrational at the time.

Sprit, let me know when you have an update on my order just for one last confirmation. I want to make sure you only have to ship once more for me =)

For the 75%, 87%, 110% PCBs,  the 3mm Hex Screws should be soldered along with MX Switches!   (You will know What i mean)

Not a scam. Just very very very slow. And it seems he's not handling orders in any particular order.. I've been waiting nearly a year now, and I'm in the last batch - if you've waited 18 months, something is clearly wrong with Sprits priorities :-)

I'm glad orders are getting fulfilled finally. And I'm glad Sprit has admitted he took too much on his plate with this group buy. I am patiently waiting for my order now, but it will be the last time I participate in a group buy.

Group buys are just too risky for my taste. I've participated in quite a few by now (6+) and I've only had 2 good experiences. Oddly enough one of them was with Sprit :p

I have no pictures of my soldering job or case assembly, but it went pretty well since I have soldered a lot before.

Looks great IMO. The bottom row LEDs are upside down emitting light into the case, because LEDs on the bottom row kills your eyes and doesn't help much.

I thought people were complaining just so they'd be bumped to the front of the list... lilky's complaining and he's first in line. lol. I'm confused
lillky is a ****boi

I debated responding to this, mostly because the point I want to make could risk making Sprit feel bad, which is not my intention.
Some of the stuff directed at Sprit has been WAY out of line.  Also, he's doing awesome now in progress and in communication.

However, as someone who ordered in Dec 2013, I'm totally sympathetic towards anyone's frustration.
I totally understand he was sick, and there's risk involved with group buys.
But, there was a period where it seemed he had just vanished, with no communication, and it's natural for people to get upset and lose their tempers.
I guess the point I'm trying to make is, let's not get personal here.  People on both sides of this could have handled it better.
Let's just move on.

Sprit, keep up the good work.  It was rough, and you had your reasons, but you're definitely rehabbing your image in my book.
lillky, you are probably not a ****boi, whatever exactly that is.

Yes!  Let's go to the Final point!    :thumb:

I felt saying I was sick might sound weak, trivial excuses,  But I felt I have to stand up to fight for myself during the missing 7 weeks (mid-Jan to early Mar).

Now I feel quite free to say in public  : " I am so sick to carry the duty this week. "

Thanks Guys!  For Cheering up!    ;)

Sprit, great to see products being shipped. Good job :-)

Could you shed light on what's keeping the remaining back? I for one have agreed to solder my PCB myself on several occasions, so I'm unsure what's left for you to do once you receive the PCB from the factory.
I understand others might like their PCBs soldered before shipping.

My order didn't include any cases, so that shouldn't be an issue.

Hello Guys!  ;)
I have been sick for 6 days. The doctor says its mainly from fatigue.
I had days off from my work, got enough sleep, feel a bit better today.
I will resume the shipping tomorrow!
Thanks! 

Some PCB only orders in the list should shipped out earlier.  The list is sorted by group email orders, now i see the each details after updating and unification all the remaining orders.

YOW I am having a couple different reactions to this.
I don't know enough about your personal and work life to make any sort of judgement call, but this makes me wonder a couple things.

First, and this might piss some people off, but with your health at risk, I'd strongly suggest just refunding what orders you can.  It's not that I don't think you can complete them, but it's totally not worth the cost of your health.

Second, why on earth are you still taking orders on other buys?

Please don't take this the wrong way, but with some orders on this group buy 18+ months behind, and your health in jeopardy, give yourself some breathing room.

Again, I don't know your personal, work, or financial status, or what stake you have in this completing a certain way, but this whole thing makes me really uneasy.
PLEASE cancel my order even if you can't refund the money.  Or just ship out what is ready and forget the rest.  CRIPES I don't want a keyboard that is killing you.  It's not worth a few hundred dollars.

REALLY Cancel it and just forget the money if you have to.
I'm not saying anyone else should feel the same way, but I'll get by with the loss.

EDIT:  Just had to edit to make something clear.  If this whole thing is super important to you for financial reasons, I don't want this to come off as negative on your work ethic or abilities or whatever.  If you NEED this to be completed a certain way, then I'm sure you can do it.  Man, I just don't know...

EDIT 2:  Or another option, are there any locals that can help Sprit complete this on his terms?  This is just freaking me out on a number of levels, and I'm also a little worried my sentiment won't translate properly, if I've even made it clear in English.  Maybe French will be clearer:  Tell everyone to f*ck off and take care of your health.  Man...  Sorry if this whole rant is rude to anyone who really wants their keyboard.  The more I think about it the more it's creeping me out.

I have been sick for 6 days. The doctor says its mainly from fatigue.
I had days off from my work, got enough sleep, feel a bit better today.
SPRIT: Take care of yourself first man! Keyboards for people are not worth your health. We'll live. I think Dansor and I agree on this.

Seriously though, take an extra few days / weeks / months if you need to. don't put yourself through this fatigue.

That said: We Love you Sprit, I know you will do what's best and I support you all the way.

SPRIT: Take care of yourself first man!

YES YES YES YES THIS x 1,000
Well said, straight to the point, and much clearer than my mindless rambling.

To my mind, this is a community of like-minded hobbyists, coming together to share a nerdy passion.
Quite frankly, if someone thinks their money or keyboard is more important than your health, then they are a crummy part of that community.

I've had my own frustrations, but frankly there's no assurance and certainly no time limit on these group buys. You've fulfilled a ton of orders and put in a ton of work; way more than you should have to.

Anyway, I'll start rambling again, so instead:
Much love, take a break, come back to it when and if you can, take it slow, don't listen on the off chance anyone gives you heat. You've got a ton of happy "customers", a ton of KB friends, are a valued member of this community.

My dog wants a belly rub so I have to go take care of that. You take care of you.

Still don't have my keyboard over a year and a half after paying $400+...

Basically the cycle goes like this:

1. I PM and email Sprit to get updates on the situation, which he ignores

2. With no other options and as a last resort, I come to this thread and complain in public, which warrants a single placating, bull**** response from Sprit about how the order is all ready and all he has to do is ship it out.

3. No reply for another 3-4 weeks.

Repeat.

Now he's talking about health issues. Well if your health issues are so bad that you cant make a trip to the post office for the package you've "had ready to ship" for over a year, you probably shouldn't have started a massive groupbuy in the first place.

99% chance this is just a scam.

I mean how long could it possible take to assemble a single board when you are confident enough to handle that lot? Also no visible progress has been made in the updates since the 10th of may!

I mean how long could it possible take to assemble a single board when you are confident enough to handle that lot? Also no visible progress has been made in the updates since the 10th of may!

I have to agree with this statement. Let us take a look at a message I received from Sprit back in December 2014:
Hello! 
110% PCBs' controller parts installed and firmware test done. Only need to solder diodes for 110 Switches. 
Its quite simple job but takes a couple of hours time.
So sorry for that ! 
If you are OK for solering diodes, i am shipping enough 2 types of diodes with PCBs.


To which I responded I was OK with soldering on the diodes myself. So yea.. PCB controller parts done, firmware test done, diodes to be done by me. What's left? Packing and shipping. When can I expect the PCB? Nobody knows..

Being ill is fair enough, **** happens. But the communication is just horrible! What I've been told does not match reality. My PCB can't have controllers installed and firmware tested, and still need 6 months work. It's just not possible. I don't think my PCB was anywhere near ready when I received that message. I believe I have been lied to. The alternative would be that Sprit had the PCB ready back in December 2014, and just decided not to ship it during all his trips to the post office with your boards.

Hello sprit, sent you a PM :)

Hope you get well soon!

Thanks!   I'm Not deadly sick,  just tired, too low energy.     ;)
Just have to be laid up with fatigue.  I thought I am quite strong !   ::)
So sorry for the delay!   
I am always concerned over the lest of the Shipping in my heart!   >:D


Feel better! Could you tell me the status of my order though? Last I heard it was ready to ship if I wanted to solder diodes myself - which I'm fine with.
Wanted to know what the status is now, after you have had some time.

Could you give me an update on my order as well? Last we spoke, mine was being assembled, which was over a month ago.

Please handle the orders in the order they come in - rather than fulfilling orders received within last few months, maybe start working on orders from over a year ago.

I'm not sure what round it was but I seem to remember one of the PBT GB's Ivan ran there was some sort of mishap with the color of the CapsLock keys. I only remember this because Ivan was adamant that the CapsLock key color will be correct for the currently-in-production PBT GB.

Indeed, the caps lock is nothing wrong. I have two caps lock keycaps, one stepped Cherry style grey, one flat OEM style white as you saw from the pic.

I decided to go with OEM style with centre stem for better compatibility of my caps

I'm more convinced of one of these two things: 1) he's insane--some sort of real life joker (i.e. batman joker), 2) he's trying to pay for the costs of this original GB using profits from other GBs... which is also insane

To prevent a possible confusion,

These are clear with me : 

-  R1 & R2 GBs were too big, PCB soldering issues, too many items to create new, to complicated to handle.
-  I put the GB funds to produce, posted the pics of each item every time. 
-  The springs GB started as a part of Main GB R1 & R2, to meet the MOQ and to proxy.
-  The small 60% GB started last year, as a part of main GB to meet the MOQ.  With the extra request, a small PCB GB was opened recently.
-  I expected I could handle all for myself,  but I am focusing on the finalizing on the lest of R1 & R2 shipping.
-  I would not open any new GB forever, until complete this main GB.
-  All are my fault, I would not argue, would concentrate on the remaining shipping.

If so, you said "would not open" which is exactly what you did in that post. Whether or not it reached MOQ is a separate issue

I should have never trusted sprit, he wasn't honest from the beginning...
It doesn't make a lot sense that he keeps coming back promising he will ship the stuff of the remaining people "soon" on a date he can never hold up his promises to. After all this time I don't think I will ever receive anything... maybe sprit already makes enough money if he only betrays 30% of the people and serves 70% of all people and keeps coming back to prevent an outrage. If that is the case may he choke on my money... Maybe he really is insane.

Come on Sprit, what's taking so long? Where's the update?

And more important: How long does it take to pack and ship a PCB? You said you had mine ready for months now, just needed soldering unless I was OK soldering it. I have said several times I was OK soldering it. Yet no response from you for months!

I see people ordering springs in the other threads, and receiving them, all within the last few weeks.. It's a serious middle finger to the people in this thread that ordered over a year ago and still haven't received - nor heard - anything.

I'm a bit torn on how to feel right now, as I have every sympathy for Sprit's health issues, but it is a little frustrating to see other orders fulfilled while mine languishes in group buy purgatory.

In any case, Sprit, it has been 19 months since I placed my order.  If there's something preventing fulfillment, just let me know and I'll write it off.

Otherwise, I would prefer to do the soldering myself and save you the headache, as I have faith there are legitimate issues causing the delays.  I can envision a situation where you are well enough to sort and ship, but not to do the precision work of soldering surface mount components.

It likely wouldn't have changed a thing - when I was asked if I could solder myself, I said yes. Haven't heard anything from him regarding my order since. This was half a year or so ago.

Again, I'd like to warn everyone in this thread that this group buy is a SCAM. DO NOT JOIN or you will end up regretting it. Sure, Sprit has sent out a few small orders to some people, but he still has not fulfilled many of his largest orders from R1. Avoid at all costs.

Indeed, I would have done the same if he was located in Denmark. However, at this point the limbo is the worst. Not know what is going on, because the way communication has happened (or haven't happened) does not show Sprit as trustworthy when it comes to this GB.

I've ordered springs from Sprit before, and he was VERY fast and precise. Wonderful experience. But this is the exact opposite.. I'm not getting any signs from Sprit that he even read my emails, messages or posts to this thread.

I would be happy if I see one of two things happen: 1) An update where the problems are described without the typical Sprit saving-face excuses (I choose to call them that - even if it may be legit reasons why orders are held up). 2) All orders cancelled..

Of course I would love to get my money back, or a product, but at this point even if he just shut down the GB and ran away with my money I would know I could go buy a PCB somewhere else and not suddenly some day stand there with an extra PCB I wouldn't know what to do with.

I'm still a little torn over this.  A couple pages back or so, I leapt to Sprit's defense, as he's been having health issues.

If he comes back and says he still having health issues, I'll absolutely give him the benefit of the doubt, believe him, and take the further delay in stride.
However, the delays are not what is causing me frustration; the lack of clear communication is.

Sprit, is there anything else going on here than health issues?
I hope you're doing well, and not in the middle of a nervous breakdown about this.

I can only speak for myself, but I like to think this is a good group that will be understanding of any problems, even ones that may seem silly or trivial.

Even if the boards all cracked in half, or you don't feel like counting any more resistors, or your shipping estimates are off, or even if our ancestors offended yours, I'd rather know about it than wait without knowing.

Please, don't placate people by saying their order is almost ready if it's not actually almost ready.
It's disconcerting to hear that, but then see other orders, placed later, being shipped out while earlier orders languish.

If you are doing well, please just give us a clear idea of what's going on.
If you are not doing well, take care of yourself, get better, and then give us a clear idea of what's going on.
If you are doing terrible, stop reading GeekHack posts and go to the doctor  :thumb:

Edit:  I almost want to delete this post, because I'd feel terrible if I were pressuring, even lightly, a guy with serious health problems or something.  But, I think my stance is probably mild compared to what some are feeling, so I'm going to leave it.  Sprit, I hope all is well and I look back on this post, feeling like a dope for being concerned. 

Edit 2:  Of course, then in another thread I see people receiving their orders in a timely manner.  I don't know what to think :llama:

I'm sure Sprit is a nice guy, and I have no doubt about his intent to deliver.
It's simply that I placed my order 20 months ago now, and have received no clear indication of what is happening. Others are in the same boat.

The situation simply makes no sense, unless he's simply been overwhelmed with other events in his life. But then why are other orders being taken and fulfilled?  It's confusing and frustrating, but I suppose it's his prerogative how he runs his business.

I'd rather just be told that he ran out of boards or something.

Sprit, is there anything else going on here than health issues?
I hope you're doing well, and not in the middle of a nervous breakdown about this.

I can only speak for myself, but I like to think this is a good group that will be understanding of any problems, even ones that may seem silly or trivial.

Even if the boards all cracked in half, or you don't feel like counting any more resistors, or your shipping estimates are off, or even if our ancestors offended yours, I'd rather know about it than wait without knowing.

Please, don't placate people by saying their order is almost ready if it's not actually almost ready.
It's disconcerting to hear that, but then see other orders, placed later, being shipped out while earlier orders languish.

If you are doing well, please just give us a clear idea of what's going on.
If you are not doing well, take care of yourself, get better, and then give us a clear idea of what's going on.
If you are doing terrible, stop reading GeekHack posts and go to the doctor  :thumb:

Edit:  I almost want to delete this post, because I'd feel terrible if I were pressuring, even lightly, a guy with serious health problems or something.  But, I think my stance is probably mild compared to what some are feeling, so I'm going to leave it.  Sprit, I hope all is well and I look back on this post, feeling like a dope for being concerned. 

Edit 2:  Of course, then in another thread I see people receiving their orders in a timely manner.  I don't know what to think :llama:


Bravo, sir! Bravo!

You expressed a lot of the conflicting emotions I have about this as well. On the one hand he's a human being and might very well be under a lot of stress, on the other hand we're out of money and have no idea what's happening with our orders for months.

It's a tough one :-)

It's a gigantic echo chamber in this thread.

I looked through the last 3 months in this thread (went back to last proper update from Sprit on June 2nd 2015 (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=50580.msg1766492#msg1766492)), and this is basically what I can see:


All these people have mentioned in this thread within last month that they have heard nothing and received nothing.
I especially feel for the people that were told their boards would ship that same week, yet have heard nothing from Sprit regarding shipping..

There's at least 17 people (only counted back 3 months) in this thread that are just not getting any communication back from Sprit.


Meanwhile it seems LeandreN can get 60% PCBs from day to day as witnessed in LeandreNs plate+sprit PCB thread (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=73666.msg1825236#msg1825236):

With all the delays sprit has experienced will using that PCB cause a long wait time? Or are they already made?
He is extremely busy to get out the last orders for his GB. Fortunately, my order is separated from this and he will be able to ship the day after I put in the order for the PCBs.


Sprit, please understand that we - as customers who have already paid months or years ago - are getting frustrated with the lack of communication and progress.
It seems you are taking new orders in other threads, and it feels wrong when our orders are waiting so long.

Clear and transparent communication would help on this a lot! I'm sure there's a good reason you have not completed orders 2 years old, but as it stands right now I simply can not see the reason.

I understand your health may play a huge part in this. This is fine! If you are stressed or otherwise have bad health, please do take care of yourself. But in that case, how can you take new orders from other threads? Finish your current orders man, then move on to other orders.

I sincerely hope you do not take this as an attack on you as a person, as it is only meant to reflect my - the customer - frustration with the process.

Very well said.

I was on the "would be shipped that week" list about 3 months ago. I like to give people the benefit of the doubt and hope that Sprit will come through with my kbd, but that hope is definitely fading. Sprit has always been super nice and responsive to me, which again makes me want to have hope that I'll receive my order.. but it's been a LONG time. :(

Update from LeandreN's thread:
...
SPRiT orders are being prepared for a possible shipment next week.

He just closed the form, and already has confirmed from SPRiT that the orders are being prepared..
This is a perfect example of what I mentioned in my last post in here; it simply feels that your customers are treated differently depending on who they are.

Also I see you've replied to people in your 2 other active group buys on this forum, yet we have heard nothing from you in this one. I'm sorry to say, there really is only one way for us to take that - and it isn't possitive.

Please, please, please give us an update on the situation. Why are some orders lagging behind? I get that you probably have a LOT of orders on 60% PCBs, and that's why those orders are quickly finished, but what is holding up the rest then? Slow manufacturer? Slow process of soldering components onto the PCB? Shipping issues? Health issues?

Or are we simply not prioritized enough compared to other group buys that may have a higher profit margin?

While I appreciate you taking the time to mention this, I would like Sprit to drop by and say this himself. It wouldn't take long - just a quick update like you've just done.

I've had half my order delivered at the start of the year, and it's sitting around gathering dust as it's useless without the other half, which is frustrating in the extreme. Been told numerous times that it would be ready to ship within a week, like many others in the thread.
At the rate things are going I will have taught myself ARM/CMSIS programming and designed a keyboard PCB, case and firmware from scratch before the rest of it arrives.

While they may not be supplied next week, you got a confirmation. Hell, you got a reply! He communicated with you. That's a whole lot more than what's happening to people in this thread; and honestly I don't think it's too much to ask that SPRiT communicate what's going on when he has people that have paid him for a product years ago and haven't received it yet.

I'm also one of the remaining unfulfilled orders. Is this what I get for taking him up on his offer of soldering my PCB components? :[

I said since the beginning that I was happy to solder my own.

It's OK I can be patient. I have switches and keycaps already set aside.

Has anyone heard from Sprit lately?
I'm starting to get a bit disheartened.

Earlier, he was ill, and that gets you infinite leeway from me.
But now we're not hearing anything, while at the same time he's got other group buys that are getting responses, and other business dealings with MechanicalKeyboards.com, etc. that are moving forward.

It's starting to seem like a business is being built on the funds of early backers, who are being left high and dry.

Sprit, please explain this to me.
LeanderN, have you heard from him recently?  Could you perhaps remind him of us?

No more promises of updates.  No more "ready to ship" posts.
I'll regain trust in Sprit when I receive what I paid for.  Maybe.

20 months, with meaningless updates every few months, after people pile on.
I don't imagine MechanicalKeyboards had to go through this.

What I most hate about this is that it is turning me into a person who belly-aches on message boards.

SPRiT is an awesome guy and a good friend, he is not some kind of douchebag that runs with our money. I too have an order that has yet to be sent, but I know that now the most important thing is for him to get rest and relax, health is more important than anything. He overworked himself in the past and that led to nothing more than him being unable to work and continue the GB's .
I know it's hard to be patient when you are already waiting for a long time for stuff you paid for, but putting a good man health at risk is just not worth it.

Sprit has thus so far lied to me several times telling me of when he would ship them not follow through. This is a matter of integrity. How do you defend multiple occasions of lying and multiple people coming forward with the same accusations. This kind of behavior is simply unacceptable unless he's been kidnapped and needs Liam Neeson to save him.

I appreciate the vote of confidence in Sprit. I had a lot of confidence in Sprit until half a year ago or so..
It is 100% understandable that he's not responding to this thread, nor shipping orders, if he is sick. I totally understand that! And I think he should focus on getting healthy rather than take care of pending orders.

However.. And this is the point I most want to stress: He is active in other group buys and maintain dealings with MechanicalKeyboard.com and LeadreNs group buy. Recently he has sent out invoices for PCBs from LeandreNs groupbuy. It is offending to see him sending out new invoices when he has orders pending and apparently wont fulfill those because of health issues. If you're sick and can't work, don't generate more work for yourself!
He has been active in his other 2 group buys on this forum recently - but this thread is not seeing any replies from Sprit. Even after he had those months AWOL and came back promising regular updates.

All I really want is an update on the situation.. We have a LOT of unanswered questions, and when they are not answered or even acknowledged we get worried.

I have lost faith in this group buy. The last straw was the shipping of a load of PCBs to LeandreNs group buy, which was started a hell of a lot later than this one.

70% of the SPRiT order is shipped. He did a quality control and just placed an order with the factory for 100 more PCBs. So some of the orders might get a little late, even though I am ahead of schedule.

So if anyone wants to buy my spot for a 110% PCB, no case, Cherry MX stabilizers, 110 white LEDs, for 77,25$ please feel free to message me and we'll take it from there.

I think it's more like he only has 60% boards/cases available. Does anyone actually remember a 75%, 87% or 110% order being filled out? My guess is that something went wrong with those boards and it wasn't worth reordering them due to lack of interest (and it's obviously lossy for him to pay for another batch out of pocket). That's obviously not OK and he's a **** if that's the case. And even if that's _not_ the reason, he's still a **** for making us wait for 2 years instead of just telling us to **** off. I think at this point he's basically just waiting for people to forget. Because, well, we will right? What do we get by going to this thread? There's no benefit to us if we keep waiting, and he'll get prodded less and less until it's "over". It's ****ed up, but he's still providing a service to a lot of members who only want 60% boards so it's not like the mods will do anything either

Indeed.. I think it's far more likely Sprit messed up all orders above 60% (or just simply postponed them). He should have never started providing PCBs above 60%!

I'm in for a 100/110% PCB. He said it was ready (without soldering) last december:
Hello! 
110% PCBs' controller parts installed and firmware test done. Only need to solder diodes for 110 Switches. 
Its quite simple job but takes a couple of hours time.
So sorry for that ! 
If you are OK for solering diodes, i am shipping enough 2 types of diodes with PCBs.

Since I've basically not heard anything about my order. I'm slightly annoyed that he took my money and waved a completed product in front of me, only to stop giving any update for 10 months.

We wont accomplish anything inside this echo chamber of a thread, however I feel justified to inform everyone else on this board, on deskthority and on /r/mechanicalkeyboards how Sprit operates.

Agree, seems like if he messed up everything above 60% design - myself waiting for a complete 110% kitt and a 60% case.

To bad that he turned out to be nothing else than a thief and a lier, he seemed like a solid and good guy with good intention but something went wrong for sure.

I received a 60% and 75% PCB, but no cases for those or my full 110% kit. Sprit indicated he would send the remaining items through in a few emails at the start of the year but haven't heard from him for quite some time.
Just thought I would put that out there so people know there was at least *some* progress on the non-60% boards.

Apparently he is moving offices.. If it is true it might explain some of the delay on non-60% PCBs (i.e. stuff he didn't have stocked):

SPRiT is moving to new office, hence the delay.
I waited quite a bit for reply, but the order was already shipped.
So don't worry, your package is probably on it's way. :)

Unknown how credible this information is however. And at any rate it would have been prudent of him to inform us of this himself..

This is what I don't understand.  He's completed, as far as I can tell, a TON of other orders.
I feel like there's something to this story that we're not seeing.  I'm not saying it's excusable, but there must be more here than Sprit just deciding to not fulfill X% of the group buy orders.

But, ultimately, it's poor communication that has lead us here, so I don't expect to ever get the full story.

The sad part is that if there were more frequent, and fewer misleading, updates, I would actually be OK waiting two years for a group buy order.

This, a million times this! I'm beyond annoyed right now, but it is 100% because of Sprit saying one thing and then never doing it or updating us with why he wont do it.
E.g.: Shipping packages to X, never shipping packages to X and never saying why he didn't ship to X.
Or: Your board is ready to ship if you want to solder yourself, never shipping, never saying why he didn't ship.

Well false and incorrect communication and taking my money and not send me anything in return summaries my (and many more peoples I believe) opinion.
He have sent out other peoples stuff, great for them, but still myself and many with me still waiting and waiting. I don’t mind waiting either but if I am to do I do need some feedback on the actual GB progress and what is causing the delay ie faulty PCB design, incorrect housing, waiting on switches etc

Just thought I would put that out there so people know there was at least *some* progress on the non-60% boards.

I received a 75% V1 case + 75% PCB (I ordered a V2 though). When I communicated to him that I ordered a V2 and not a V1, he sent me the lower pieces for the V2 about 2 weeks later. I submitted my order in July 2014, and it was fulfilled earlier this year. I am absolutely in the minority, and I count myself very very lucky. My opinion of this buy is that even though a lucky few received their orders, I believe that the majority will not. If I still had money in this buy, I would absolutely be writing it off.

My biggest gripe/frustration with this GB is the lying. So many broken promises... "I'll ship tomorrow", then no communication for months. "Your order is ready", then radio silence. "I'll ship your PCB if you do not need soldering", a year later, nothing. The lack of integrity, broken promises, and constant lying to members here is disgusting. I can't stress this enough. I can't believe people are saying "Sprit is a good guy", when there are literal hundreds of people that he has lied to over and over again with meaningless updates.

It doesn't help either that if you browse the Korean boards, like Kbdlab and mention "Sprit", you'll realize that he has absolutely no credibility in Korea.

It's been about 6 months since I checked back in on this thread. I'm glad to see that I didn't miss anything important and I see there's not much changed in the state of affairs in this GB...I got SPRIT's email back on Apr 9th. I replied on Apr 13th indicating that I could do the soldering myself. I've heard crickets since then. I see my name was on a list of "up next" for a couple months, then 2 months ago there was a post promising a small update coming very soon that never happened, and then the no posts from SPRIT in over a month now. Pretty much what I expected when I didn't receive my order after the first couple of months. 12/18 will mark the 2nd anniversary since this was paid for...maybe it will arrive in time for my grandchildren to have a relic from an age long past when people used to communicate by pecking plastic key caps with their hands instead of simply thinking their words into existence...

He has been online recently. Last post he made was August 18th. But I suppose him not having a reaction to this thread is proof that this GB is done and those of us that haven't received our products are out of money.

I've emailed Sprit nicely and received no response. I will now be filing a report with the US Internet Crime Complaint Center aka FBI. I urge others to do the same. The more complaints received concerning Sprit the likelier they are to contact authorities in S Korea. I don't wish Sprit I'll will, but ignoring everything is never a good solution.

I understand the outrage and annoyance with what has happened in this group buy, but I doubt reporting him to any sort of authority, other than the geekhack admins, will help.
Reason? This thread on the group buy forum: New RULES. 1) READ THESE RULES. 2) CAVEAT EMPTOR (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=36773.0), specifically this section in that thread:
Quote
CAVEAT EMPTOR: WE ACCEPT NO LIABILITY FOR LOSSES RELATED TO OR RESULTING FROM POSTING IN THIS FORUM OR FOR ANY TRANSACTION RESULTING FROM A POSTING IN THIS FORUM.


EDIT:
Our best shot at feeling some sort of redemption would be to make sure people in this community know how Sprit operated in this thread (and many others).
I know he is ill, but taking on new orders while others are incomplete for years, AND FULFILLING THEM, is just not OK without informing everyone why he has done that.

At first I thought he might have needed the money for medical bills, but then I learned that south korea has free medical care for all citizens (albeit with some small deductible) unless it's elective surgery. So taking on extra work without completing old orders just makes him a bad person to have in charge of money. People should know this, instead of the rosy view most on this forum seem to have of him (i.e. "Sprits a good guy").

It seems LeandreN is having Sprit issues now as well.. He got one shipment of PCBs for his customers, and now he can't contact him anymore. I see a pattern emerging here :)

I figured there's no reason to keep complaining in here. The only people that visit this thread are people looking for Sprit..
I've given up on my money and bought a CODE keyboard from WASD instead. Found out they had the clear switches in stock, so I went that way.. Changing all keycaps when it arrives Monday.

Luckily one good thing did come out of this collective massive loss of money: Sprits reputation is tainted now and hopefully fewer people will be hit by his greed next time. At least people have been warned now.
People in LeandreNs group buy have been hesitant to join his GB because one of the sub-vendors were Sprit.
There also seem to be no people in the reddit Sprit PSA thread to white knight for Sprit and come to his defense.. So it seems to be a general thing that the trust has gone.

We just had to pay for it to happen it seems.

Yea, I think that's what happened here too. But it's inexcusable to keep taking on orders in other GBs then and broker deals with major sellers to provide them parts.

That is true, but again people will complain there is not enough supply ... From following GH I've learned one thing, unless you have a tram behind you and very good logistics big GB's are bound to fail or take like forever... GH60 comes in mind for example, but there are much more examples.
It's Caveat Emptor all over the place, you pour your money into a complete strangers wallet and hope you get your stuff, there is no buyer protection no moneyback guarantee no nothing. GB's work on good faith.
I assume that I've lost my money from the moment I join a GB and never stick more money than I can afford to lose in one. This way if everything works out I'm happy, if not well it was my fault I gave the money to the hustler.
The big problem is that GB's are not ran by a business, you pay as gift, what do you expect ???

It is true, but I've seen this kind of behavior also with GON, he knows he is swamped in orders and experiences delays and still takes new orders. Maybe there is also something related to the eastern culture that we don't understand.
Again also people are, sorry to be so blunt, but idiots, you see the drama, hear people complain amd yet still you place an order. TL;DR is not an excuse, in that case people deserve what they get...

When I've placed my last order with SPRiT I knew that it could take some time, ergo I don't complain it was my decision, nobody forced me.  :thumb:

This saga has been of use to me- I had tried making a small order for a load of springs a while back, then came across all this drama. Months later when he started up again and everyone got all enthusiastic with his return, I got a friendly "let me take your order!" email from him, and thought "no ****ing way".

I think he just took on way too much and is incapable of handling it. Simple as that.
I'd say think positive, he can still get the job done. Personally I ordered in November 2013 and that money is long gone...
at this point I don't even care about time any more, I'd just like him to succeed delivering eventually for the sake of everybody involved.

In my opinion, it is better. Even the law punishes more severely when an intent was present.

At the very least, he is less likely to continue his act if it was due to incompetence than if it was intentional fraud.

Also I don't mean to defend the guy. Everybody who brought himself in a situation like this has to know he will be attacked.
I'm just observing here. And what else can you do... filing some **** with authorities or FBI or whatever is just delusional.
Nobody gives a **** if some guy in Korea got a few thousand dollars over the span of 2 Years. And the police won't knock on
his door unless he pulled of a major scam in Korea and it would be the Korean authorities then.
And personally being angry doesn't help me whatsoever.

If you can get into the bootloader, then your board is not dead yet. If you can't get into the bootloader, then you'd need some extra equipment (AVR ISP programmer) to see if the atmega32a is still functional or not.

No, you don't need to desolder the MCU to test if it's alive - on this PCB there are pads where you can hook up an AVR ISP programmer - it's the "standard" 2x3 pin header (on this PCB it's "overlaid" with a 1x6 header; that can be used as well).

Just as a warning to others thinking of joining this group buy:


THIS IS A SCAM

I ordered $400+ worth of parts in the ROUND 1 GROUPBUY. Not R2. The ROUND 1. I was one of the very first to order, and I never received anything from Sprit. This guy is running a scam and people are still falling for it.

So, I don't want to start a whole thing and get the Sprit lynch mob going again.

However, is there any method, official or unofficial, of establishing a moratorium on all of Sprit's group buys, at least until he starts responding again and perhaps explains what's going on?

My concern, basically, is that it appears at least some of his group buys are open and accepting orders.  If these are accepted and billed, more people may lose money to a person who MAY be a scammer.

It is certainly possible that he has personal issues, health problems, or has been kidnapped by space pirates.
Until it is determined what is happening, should at least a warning of some sort be posted on those group buys?

Also, please don't use this post as an opportunity to simply rail on Sprit.
It does nobody any good, and there may be more going on than we a privy too.
But I DO think there should be a conversation about putting things on hold until it's straightened out.

Ever since I joined GH watching Sprit's goupbuys have been such a roller coaster. One month he will be shipping tremendously and then he will disappear for a couple of months, and it repeats over and over.

Mods as a precaution should just edit Sprit's account to tag him as a risky seller for the potential new members on GH. No one deserves to be played around like this.

Obviously he's not a scammer.

He is, like many others, having problems with production scaling. That's not the problem. The problem is he's not communicating with the buyers - which is PR suicide.

I tend to agree with you, but I'm not sure it's entirely obvious.
If you paid in full two years ago, have been repeatedly told that your shipment is ready, and then stop receiving emails, board messages, or any responses at all, while some other, newer orders seem to be being filled, it starts to feel very much like a scam, even if that's not his intent.

In any case, I suppose that's neither here nor there, and I agree, intellectually, with your sentiment.

I also believe it's important for the community to have this addressed, andto  collectively insist on a response from Sprit before allowing his buys to continue.

I 100% agree! Lynch-mentality does nothing. To label him a scammer or not does nothing. We have no recourse that would result in us getting our money back or getting our order filled.

We can, however, make sure no one else lands in our situation by having the mods edit his posts to say he's currently AWOL. That way new buyers are immediately aware of this fact without having to read the entire thread.
Labeling him (the user account) a risky seller seems a little drastic though, as it would appear in any post he may be making elsewhere on the board too.

All of this is becoming quite depressing  :-X I don't know what we could do so that all his running GB's come to an end, an end that will please the participants. I've supported SPRiT every time in the last 2 years since all of this started, even now I don't think he is a scammer but I have to admit that I'm disappointed. This and some other events made me think twice about joining GB's any more. I've just had enough of waiting and waiting and when I get the stuff I don't even need or want ...

That makes me wonder if he's accepting orders, and makes me more inclined to think his buys should be put on hold.

I propose just to forget about this and get along with our lifes.
To be honest we can't do anything, it's too late for PayPal dispute, we don't know his real name, where he lives (except for the country). If he doesn't want to post or answer mails or PM's there is nothing we can do.
I feel sad because I thought we were friends, I would have understanding for any kind of problems (even something like "dude I wanted a new iPhone and I spend all GB money on that") but be open about that don't go in hiding and ignore the people.

You only waited 2 months before filing a dispute? Kinda extreme... For reference, I paid my invoice on 2014-07-18 and received my PCB, springs, stabs, and switches just after 2014-12-19. Now I'd expect he'd be under investigation by Paypal and not be able to fulfill anything at all for a while :/

In any other situation, I'd agree with what you're saying, but I'm coming up on my 2-year anniversary of my Sprit order in a few days, and have gotten nothing, so I'm not feeling a lot of Sprit sympathy.

SPRiT advertised for EXTRAS in his other thread and I was under the assumption that the PCB was already produced and ready to ship. He sent the invoice really fast and I thought that he would ship my order fast as well. After a month I contacted SPRiT by email, PM and later through Paypal, asking about the status of my order - no response. When I started the dispute he was contacted by Paypal as well, but he did not respond to them either. Waiting two months was not the issue, the lack of response when trying to contact him and not posting updates here is what caused me to open a dispute. He did not respond to the dispute, and Paypal chose to refund me. He could have avoided all of this by just responding with something like this: "Sorry for not responding. Your order will be shipped soon, don't worry!" That would have prevented all of this.

For posterity's sake, I ordered a 60% from his extras and after about a month of noncommunication, I filed a paypal dispute. A few days later, he emailed me with photos of my package.

It just recently arrived and everything I ordered was included and even included a 2 layer case as well as a 3 layer one.

While I was frustrated with him, SPRiT was still very nice about it and included the 2 layer case because he thought it looked better. I can't speak for what's preventing him from communicating here or fulfilling orders, but I hope he comes back and makes everything right. It's really a shame, because the keyboard is quite nice.

Glad to see that some people still get their orders. The only thing holding me back from opening a dispute is the fact that I still consider him a friend and I still have a hope that one day he will come back and finish this.

For your own sake, you should make the dispute anyways. While I was waiting for my stuff, he only started to respond to me cause I made a claim through paypal. Fortunately, I ended up receiving my things shortly after.

I'm going to second the post above mine and say that you should file the dispute anyway. Were this a one-time thing, I could see an argument for holding off, but this has been a repeat occurrence. At some point, you have to say enough is enough and protect yourself.

No, but the dispute window is 180 days. If you payed with a credit card through PayPal, you might be able to contact your card issuer after that time. Some cards I think give you up to a year.

Wonder if this was Sprit's plan all along... Keep everyone stringed along for as long as possible, start multiple buys... stop fulfilling any of them.Then the Paypal disputes come in, his account gets locked, and he'll be gone from these forums.

I don't give a damn about his "intention", whether he bit off more than he can chew. I care about reality... reality is, he took a bunch of peoples money, lied constantly to all his buyers, fulfilled maybe a quarter of his orders, and is gone from these forums for all intents and purposes.

I'll have to see if my bank can help, I have moved to Germany and the card linked to the PayPal is from back home, so it's a little complicated.

Sprit, if you are indeed back on this buy, could you please give any details as to what has been going on and the current state of orders?
If not each individual order, at least a general update on the status of PCBs, cases, etc?

I sincerely apologize if there are factors at work that I can't see, but it seems like we only hear from you once enough noise is made, and then you vanish again.
Any sort of detail would gain a lot of good will.

EDIT: Clarification because I feel like a bad guy here.
Your real job is obviously more important.  But you have, intentionally or not, mislead people over the state of the orders and shipping many times over the past couple years.
If you look at the real successful group buy organizers, even when there are large delays, they communicate frequently and clearly, and because of that nobody really minds, and it even garners support.

Seems stressful to change department in Korea, things must have changed much since I myself worked in Korea for some 5 years ago (yes I worked in Busan Korea if you must know)

As I sad in a post earlier this year - Only about 15 months since I placed and paid my order but still; I managed to get myself another child, get myself a new job, get myself a new car and change from cherry to topre switches and still I managed to post on various forums.

Now, make delivery or make refund. Its as simpel as that.

Yet, in the same period of time, you managed to broker a deal with MK.com to supply them with 60% PCBS.  And you agreed to supply PCBs to LeandreNs GB, which you then proceeded to actually do.

Meanwhile we've been kept in the dark with our money in your pockets and no real idea of the status of our order. When you inform us of the status of an order it is usually along the lines of "packing and shipping soon" or "you will be in the next batch shipped" or "if you're OK with soldering, I can ship right away". Followed by months of being unable to get a response from you.


If this comes across harshly, it is because it is meant to. You have not explained the delay sufficiently. Changing departments and getting sick can indeed cause these delays, but they generally so not cause delays AND deals with major resellers simultaneously.

To be honest I want to see some action, shipping soon and sorry doesn't do it for me anymore. I feel like the last vilage idiot in this story...

I'm in the same boat as well. Mine should be the worse since there has been no updates on my change of purchase since god knows when... I even sent so many mails in attempt of confirmation / alignment. I already given up and would take any colour / what is readily available.. With this group buy I really lost interest with mechanical keyboards and the silence from Ivan's group buy also does not help as I will be giving up this hobby. Was thinking of giving this as a gift but what a great backfire this turned out to be.. I'm sticking to mass drop or SP in the future for a more reliable purchase.

We should get a bunch of people to order 2 pcs of RGB LED for .50 cents https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=60887.0

Then all of us should just issue a Paypal dispute a week later just to fk with Sprit and get his Paypal locked. Like people will say "well Calvinhousecat if his Paypal is locked how is he suppose to issue our money back?!!1" Lets be real, no one is getting their money back.


Given that Paypal is willing to bother with 100 individual Paypal disputes for 50 cent orders each  :p

This pretty much sums up my experience into the hobby so far 'cept even Massdrop had a problem with their keycool numpad vendor recently but at least I got a refund out of that...

I have, or better said I've used to have a very good relationship with SPRiT, we talked a lot and I considered him a friend but now I see this wasn't the case ... to issue a dispute is too late so now I can only sit and wait like an idiot maybe I get lucky and get my stuff or maybe not ...

I'm down to my final 1.2oz of **** to give in this thread...all I can muster up is a huge +1 to all the replies after Sprit's "update". So tired of waiting. His BS combined with delays in Raindrop, Toxic, and GH60 are what drove me from the hobby as well. Oh well, I've got other things I can spend my money on. Too bad the community didn't support the established community members instead of supporting some fly-by-night huckster who was brand new to the forums with their over-the-top "let's be understanding" sycophantic drivel...maybe we could have effected some kind of positive outcome for those people who put up real money back in the early days of this group buy hustle.

The sad thing is I don't even want the keyboard from this buy anymore.
If I ever get it, every time I look at it I'll get angry.  If it does arrive, I'll probably just flip it right away.

I'd like a refund, but I'd settle for flipping it at a slight loss just to get it out of my sight.
Anyone want to buy my round 1 Sprit buy spot?  :P

100% agree with this statement.

I posted months ago about how this GB should be shut down, and how Sprit is not being forthcoming with us. Got flamed and was told that I had the wrong attitude, and I shouldn't join future GB's if that was how I was going to act.

Yup, I've seen quite a lot of those kind of responses to people with real money in this buy. It's one thing to be supportive and understanding of delays and personal issues. It's quite another to be blind to all the red flags and repeated lies.

Exactly. We tried to explain it wasn't a matter of patience but rather glaring fishy behavior and major red flags to what was happening.

Which is pretty much another thing that has turned me off from this hobby: too many people seem to be willing to rationalize behavior like Sprit's because they want to stay politically correct in hopes they get some pieces of plastic to decorate their keyboards with  :-\

Hi sprit,

The best apology you could give us is to send us what we paid for. Please focus your time on shipping things out rather than telling us why you couldn't.

It's Caveat Emptor all over the place, you pour your money into a complete strangers wallet and hope you get your stuff, there is no buyer protection no moneyback guarantee no nothing. GB's work on good faith.
I assume that I've lost my money from the moment I join a GB and never stick more money than I can afford to lose in one. This way if everything works out I'm happy, if not well it was my fault I gave the money to the hustler.

I have wrote him tons of e-mails he just doesn't answer. In the mean time he talks with other users and takes orders. I can't describe how I feel right now!!! It's ****ed up that's what it is. There is no excuse for this, and I the IDIOT stood up for him and called him a friend.... serves me right, I was an imbecile that's what I was

For what it' worth I just received shipping notification and tracking number for my order.

I think you at least owe sprit an apology given that you've been bashing sprit for a while now. Of course when the package arrives, but just saying. I've never had any problems with orders from sprit so far. Yes, there were times when he didn't respond to my email but he always ended up delivering my stuff.

Edit: not a throwaway now :thumb:

I will simply say that the onus is on Sprit to resolve this issue, and nobody else.
Also, I don't think it's appropriate to use a burner account to criticize someone for being upset that they are out hundreds of dollars and have, to all appearances, been misled.
It seems like victim blaming to me.

Hopefully Sprit will finally resolve this and it can be put behind everyone. Time will tell.

That's the funniest thing posted here all year. DanielT doesn't owe Sprit anything. Sprit earned every single word of reproach from DanielT, myself, and anyone else that's had money tied up for 2 years waiting on this lying sack of crap to give us the meager respect of a simple status message. The only one here that owes anything is Sprit because he's got thousands of dollars of other people's money in his bank account for products that he promised to manufacture and ship but never did.

So, I see that my name has made the bottom of yet another "status update". Please kindly explain WTF it means? The first line says "shipping next week", but no explanation for the other lines. Does it mean that I'm the 8th to last person that will have my order shipped? I certainly hope not because I told you back in April that I can do the soldering myself. Literally, all you have to do is put it in a box, slap a shipping label on it, and put it in the mail. How effing hard could this be for you? For some reason you seem to think my order does not qualify for your definition of "simple" and I can't fathom why; it's a PCB, a plate, and some switches. It can't get much simpler.

I believe Sprit's post meant there would be three parts (you being in the second part) with simple orders happening during and between the two parts. Course I honestly believe this was just another smokescreen to attempt to make us not alarmed when he accepts and ships more new orders as I've yet to see any real attempt at progress for those 2-year old non simple orders in the update.

Most definitely a smokescreen.

People started filing complaints with paypal. Mods placed warnings on all his group buys. Suddenly Sprit returns and ships a few packages to active commentators and then he is gone again.

I got another "final confirmation before shipping", I think sprit must be an idiot if he thinks he can fool me...
But I would be delighted if he proves me wrong and actually sends me what I ordered.

I'm having trouble with my Face W (60%) under linux. Every other second or so the light next to the port on my usb hub flickers. (All connectors have lights next to them indicating they are on. When I try and type under linux sometimes keys freeze up. I'm pretty sure it syncs upp with the flickering light on my usb-hub.
The wierd part is that it works great under windows. The light does not flicker.
I have tried plugging it directly to the computer and changing cable but nothing seem to help.

I belive I have the latest firmware installed. Anyone else experiencing similar issues?

3 weeks since the last update Sprit. Color me surprised that there's been no messages of "these have shipped" and no reports of anyone on the "Shipping next week" list receiving anything yet...

How about an update and an answer to our questions, Sprit???

Depends on how long ago you paid, but for the majority of the people in here the answer is, unfortunately, "no". You have 180 days to open the dispute.

Getting near to a month with no new updates from Sprit.
The people that he said he would ship to next have not mentioned receiving anything - to be honest I doubt he has sent a single one of those orders.

I have written to his email a third time within half a year (I wanted to give him time to actually work on this rather than answer emails), and hope I at least get an answer back this time. I really really think the GB warning in big red letters should be put back on ALL his GB posts. That or just flat out ban him. He is quick with those invoices, and super slow with actually filling them - if he is actually filling them.. Halting problem right there, we can't know if he is filling them slow or not at all until he actually fills them :-)

I agree with jlor on this one. It would be the only real way to motivate him to fulfill the orders that are still due.

Last time when some got in contact with people he used to source the components (I think it was PCB designer he worked with) from, and started seriously warning others of his GBs, he showed up for a while with an excuse of sickness and shipped some orders. The only way to motivate him is to impact his other "sales". Whatever was done then should be done again...

Every time he finally posts something, a part of me still believes things are happening.

I wish I had listened to the rumors from the Korean boards about him when this whole buy started.

Worst of all, I passed the 2-year anniversary of my payment and forgot to celebrate.
I'll just have a bigger celebration next year I guess :)

We should really organize a party for the 3 year anniversary of this group buy. I propose we do it at Sprits place.

Do you have a name or link for these korean forums? Or would sharing that be against GH forum guidelines?

Got that email on the 23rd after emailing him on the 22nd. I've suggested setting up a spreadsheet of all open orders so that he can update it when something happens. I really want some damn gold stabs from him but won't be ordering **** until all of his outstanding orders are shipped.

Here is a submission form if someone wants to add their order to it. I think it would be beneficial in the long run.

My entry is wrong. Can I update it, or should you?

My order consists of the following:
---
1x 110% PCB
110x White LED high brightness (with 1% resistors)
5x Cherry MX Stabilizers (total 1 set)
---

An update on my email correspondence to Sprit: I sent the email 10 days ago. Have not received a reply yet. Sent another to him today, he might've been busy with family / friends over December. Understandably I think..

One thing I have learned in the 2 years since I have joined this community, and that is for each user who fails to deliver (I try and avoid other terms) you have a ton of col users who prove that this is a cool community and make up for any bad experience. Just have to stick around and make friends and not lose faith. This a great hobby and the caps/keyboards are just an excuse to get together  :thumb:

Good spot! All 60%s I notice, has anyone received an 87% or a full size from Sprit? Amongst my many worries concerning this GB is that the only ones that I've seen received are 60%. I wonder if all these delayed orders are all those for bigger PCBs and cases.

It's OK, I give you permission to label it a scam now. :-)
It is clear Sprit has no intention of fulfilling orders, even though he keeps popping back every 6 months to state otherwise.

I'm certain he (still) has good intentions but has just been overwhelmed by the work required. Seems he just liked the more stable income provided by bulk orders (i.e. his relationship with MK.com), compared to the drops of odd orders here and there from GH.
It must be easier to simply say "I can supply 60% PCBs with regularity", than saying "I can supply any PCB from 60% to 110% with your choice of LED, case and with or without stabs"..

Not a clear scam, just an overwhelmed person who has no regard of other people's money. It is his own fault though, so I don't feel sorry for him at all. In fact I quite despise him for having kept on taking orders for so long.
The fact that he is pissing up and down the back of his direct community customers is enough reason for me to boycott anything to do with Sprit.

It's OK, I give you permission to label it a scam now. :-)
It is clear Sprit has no intention of fulfilling orders, even though he keeps popping back every 6 months to state otherwise.

I'm certain he (still) has good intentions but has just been overwhelmed by the work required. Seems he just liked the more stable income provided by bulk orders (i.e. his relationship with MK.com), compared to the drops of odd orders here and there from GH.
It must be easier to simply say "I can supply 60% PCBs with regularity", than saying "I can supply any PCB from 60% to 110% with your choice of LED, case and with or without stabs"..

Not a clear scam, just an overwhelmed person who has no regard of other people's money. It is his own fault though, so I don't feel sorry for him at all. In fact I quite despise him for having kept on taking orders for so long.
The fact that he is pissing up and down the back of his direct community customers is enough reason for me to boycott anything to do with Sprit.

Actually, he is still taking new side orders according to a recent post in his deskthority thread.  :))

Over a month from the last post, even longer since the last "update" from Sprit if you can call it that. AFAIK, there are tons of ppl from this buy still without their stuff, including people with thousands of dollars of goods purchased.

With all the attention on Ivan and his scamming... can we finally call this a scam too? Or are people going to start white knighting for Sprit again like the last dozens of times he got called out?

More surprisingly, it seems like Sprit hasn't been personally affected from this at all. Kept the money from the orders, and sealed mk.com as a client. Seems like a win-win for what he demonstrated as utter dishonesty.

i just want to say this.
3 weeks ago i ordered gold spring from sprit at DT GB since he said on DT spring is ready stock all variant.
so i give it a try and ordered 78g gold spring, and just last saturday i got the spring, sprit even give me a bonus 100g tester pack xD.
i think sprit is still active and maybe still needs time to fulfill the other order.

Just let this thread die. Sprit doesn't need any more publicity.

If anyone still wonders why the majority of the responders in this thread dislike Sprit, this is exactly why!
Some orders have week to week delivery, some are 3+ years old and it's impossible to get a status from Sprit as he doesn't reply on emails..

Seems our orders gave him startup capital, without him providing a product for the money we gave him. Lovely person, just lovely. F&ck him

Just a feel a bit ridiculous when there's so much attention on Ivan/Kin125, and this buy has been going South for longer than any of them, without an inkling of attention from the mods. I mean, they let him post a 2nd GB up here, while this one was already going super crappy. And apparently, there are *still* people defending Sprit and saying "he needs more time."

Just pisses me off is all, especially since he did as you said: took the money from this buy, used it as startup capital, and apparently nobody minds dealing business with an open scammer.

This whole fiasco has really soured me on group buys. I could have walked away from this years ago, but Sprit popping in every couple of months and SOME people receiving their orders kept hope unnecessarily alive. Even now I have no idea what was really going on behind the scenes.

As long as he delivers in the end it doesn't matter. GBs can take along time. It's accepted. If its within 5 years of the GB start to delivery that's just a long GB. You can't necessarily expect something to go from a drawing board to a final form in your hands produced on a decent scale in 6 months or a year. I work in semiconductor manufacturing and its not uncommon for small changes in the line to take two years of coming up with a problem, collecting data, getting it approved and implemented. Imagine one person creating multiple product designs then sending them to a manufacturer. Then the manufacturer may have to do small tooling adjustments and other things to manufacture them. Then that same person has to handle distribution and customer service. It can take a LONG TIME for one person who has a life and another job on the side I imagine. I ordered at the end of '13 and still have hope that small things like manufacturing and distribution got in the way as well as communication but that it will still lead to a successful group buy in the end. Though I do find it troublesome and unacceptable there there is just zero communication. Whether that's just because of issues outside of sprits hands or his inability to handle it all is another thing.

Still there is victim blaming. If you haven't joined this buy, if you haven't dealt with Sprit's numerous lies, you have no right to comment. Firstly, many ppl waiting for their stuff is components, and no keyboard. Secondly, he tells people he has their stuff done, and doesn't ship. Also realize that nobody on Sprit's last update:

"Update  26 Nov -  The Final to go     Hi! Guys!   ;)    Been too long Wait!    >:(

-  The End -"

Received their orders.

Sprit is first person I'd say is a liar on a pathological level. You have no idea of how little his word means. When he tells you that "he's shipping tomorrow", and still hasn't shipped in months/years after that message, you'd be singing a different tune. There have been people waiting for ~2.5 years now, and you clearly do not know what you're talking about. You don't even have an idea of what went on 2 pages ago in this thread.

Please, go away...

What the hell is the point of this response...Are you saying the only reason Sprit's GB is defensible versus Ivan's is because there is proof Sprit still fulfills VENDOR and small orders whereas there is no proof Ivan plans to fulfill orders because he did not put the orders in to the manufacturer?

I personally do not and have never felt any comfort from that knowledge for this GB even when Sprit kept coming back because there was absolutely no explanation for him taking on more orders. I still can't believe people dismissed the few who voiced concern about this. Hell, you even outline it yourself that there is VERY little likelihood of one person being able to handle it all themselves. It is therefore very likely to reason, as stated earlier, the initial joiners have been used as startup funds - simple as that. Whether Sprit's initial intentions were good or not does not change the fact that at this point in time the GB might as well be a scam with no intention of fulfilling remaining orders, at least from non-vendors.

Damn, I had hoped the thread would simply die.
Alas it has not. Let us try to keep it civil in here at least. :-)

People always have the right to comment! Whether they have been part of the group buy or not does not matter. People are allowed to comment!
People should however realize we are not talking about delay in orders anymore. We are talking about orders being fulfilled out of order! If orders come in - in order - I would expect them to be shipped somewhat in that order. Maybe you bunch similar orders together etc., but I would never expect an order to be delayed for years.

I have been told by Sprit my keyboard was ready to be shipped if I was able to solder on diodes etc:
Hello! 
110% PCBs' controller parts installed and firmware test done. Only need to solder diodes for 110 Switches. 
Its quite simple job but takes a couple of hours time.
So sorry for that ! 
If you are OK for solering diodes, i am shipping enough 2 types of diodes with PCBs.


 I am capable of soldering a few diodes on and the perspective of receiving my goods fast was enticing, so naturally I said I was able to solder.
Note the date of receipt: 23rd of December 2014.

"simple job but takes a couple of hours".. At time of writing that is 11.200 hours ago,  roughly. Interesting sidenote: This is the last response I have been able to get out of Sprit. He is not responding to forum messages or emails anymore.

How far exactly were my order back then, then? Since I said I was OK to solder the diodes myself, what have the time been spent on? I only ordered a PCB and some LEDs so from what I can gather you have spent 1½ years packing this order.

I just...... I mean.......  So...... What if.......  I don't even know what to say  :-X

However, as I've tried to communicate to you (Sprit) before, if skipping assembly will help speed the process along, please DON'T BOTHER ASSEMBLING MINE.
Not saying that to get bumped up the queue.  Ship me precisely last, I don't mind.  Just don't assemble if it will speed things along.
After literally 36 months, I'm not in any rush any more.

Other than that, I'm going to keep my potentially toxic comments to myself.
If this is actually moving again, I am glad, and wish you luck and success.

Anyone have pictures of what boxes Sprit actually ships in? Not that it is needed though because those are more than likely just boxes of the parts he ships exclusively to mechanicalkeyboards.com lmao can't believe they were posted. yes Sprit, real glad to know you are prepared to fulfill more vendor orders. That's pretty much all I am getting from this update: "hey guys, you can order my stuff from vendors so that they have to restock from me!" What a scam. In all seriousness though if this isn't a scam I'd be surprised if he even got through a third of that list he claims he'll do this week lmao

SPRiT has been in heavy communication with me regarding my order I placed months ago, but never was invoiced until this morning. Just paid it, so we'll see how it goes.
Thankfully, it wasn't a very weighty order, so if it's unfulfilled I won't be missing much.

I understand the feelings of the guys not got theirs yet.
Big sorry for the fatal delay.  No words to say.
But ...  I'd like to say one, 'Please Stop discouraging, Shut up and Watch on'

I have fulfilled over thousand GB orders, slow or fast,
having difficulty to finalize this rest of shipping.
Being a crazy man, moving heavy boxes, searching for a single piece sometimes for half an hour,
to put all pieces together into a singe shipping box ...
All are I had chosen. 
Thank You!

Yup, just replied to it. Since I paid for the 4.0mm aluminum plate that never got made, I'd like to sub in a 75% case to make up for the funds. If you have one in blue & white that will match closely with the Raindrop key set, that would work for me.

"Silly" arguments are actually exactly what we've needed over the years from you. There is more than enough "proper grounds" that show this could very well be just another repeat of the last times you disappeared. While I don't necessarily blame you, your updates and behavior are playing out just as they did in the past so if you actually are doing something different this time we are all ears.

sprit, stop using your family as a reason to not ship things people have paid for years ago.  It's kind of ****ed up that you are making money off of new buys while stringing along people who gave you hundreds to thousands of dollars for **** that you haven't sent for "reasons."  Stop being an ******* and just get it done.

While I understand that people aren't happy with how things went/are in this GB, do you actually believe that the chances of folks getting their products increase by calling the GB-leader names?
Multiple people reported that they got their stuff now and while the products should and maybe could've arrived earlier, we both have no idea what happened behind the scenes. All that is apparent is that he tries to correct his wrongs, if you want to see how it works to scam people, take a look at the Ivan and Berserkfan ****show.
Just give him a chance, I believe everybody deserves at least that much.

I mean...that's pretty much the same reason GB organizers don't get banned. IDK about you but it just doesn't seem right to me to allow new GBs because an organizer has us by the balls - or rather I find it flat out rude / irresponsible by geekhack members that willingly join in the new group buys / act buddy buddy like nothing is wrong because they want more stuff while others are delayed indefinitely because of it. I mean really, at least from what I saw the majority of these "people receiving stuff" you mention have not waited necessarily as long as the rest of us which is even worse if you knew Sprit told people like me we were in round 1.

I do however appreciate the actual timeframes Sprit is saying now.

Basically I agree with You! 
Realized there are so many difficulties and Dangers to do a Big GB,  Breaking people's heart,
So, I will not do a Big GB again like R1, R2. 
But please remember, I have done over 500 shipments for R1 & R2,  Never stolen any others' money at all.

Now I have set up my own website, got helpers, to do better reliable supply and ship faster.
Big Thank You for correcting my wrong things.   :thumb:

I see I suddenly graduated to 1st group. While this is very much appreciated, I have not been contacted about potential shipping address changes (well, was contacted over a year ago to confirm shipping address).
Sprit, if you are reading this, if the package can reach me on the old address within a month everything is good - if it can't we need to change the shipping address.
I'm not certain if you respond to emails / forum messages - historically you haven't - so I have not sent any about this.

As I have been mentioning,  Some Simple Orders may ship between.

I do and have to contact people for the packed pics and get each final confirmation, before let them go to the POST!
Too much hurry makes some errors, mis-packing,  So I am a bit nervous.
I have changed the procedure, ' Pack First, wait for the final confirmation'.

Guys !  Please email me anytime for Your Address and order details Changes!
Dont Worry, even If I dont answer right away,  I am keeping my Email Box nicely,  I will Answer back when Your Shipping Turn comes!
Yes, I am trying to include any upto date parts possible,  the Latest versions of 24K Springs, Gold Stabs, Free Feet, Free Boomerang feet, etc

Yes I always read my thread, even if I am not logged in.
I will do my best to Finalize 100% Soon, as I posted my Time Frame in August - September.
Just I dont want to get lost again,  in the middle of confused communications and flood of parts.
Thanks Always!   :thumb:                 (Edited the First line on the Update for cookiesowns, and twiddle, etc)

I feel I owe Sprit to make a note here since I have been quite critical of the way Sprit has handled this group buy.

He contacted me within an hour when I wrote him earlier today. We hammered out some details of the buy and the shipping. Very quick response time!
I still feel the orders should have been handled in the order they arrived, rather than new orders being shipped before all the older orders had been handled. I suppose it's not always that easy in the real world though, when you are just one person.. Orders aren't just orders.. Some orders are 100% items you have in storage, others need to be produced before it can be shipped.. Bananas and oranges and such.

Anyway I hope Sprits health holds up, even though there's a lot of stress in these GBs (a good bunch of it have been created by me I suppose..).

Now you got me wanting a board with the tenkey on the left side :eek:

I just want another like the K-Mini with the function keys on the left.  Or a reversed tenkeyless.  I'd love to be able to keep my hand on the mouse and hit the arrow keys, print screen, delete, and so on.
I like the touch tablet of Mac Book. Sometimes. Mouse is alittle tough for me. But the touch tablet of other notebook computer are terrible. So, with the  Mac's touch tablet , My left hand and right hand can work together efficient.

I'm surprised to see that this is still going. I have a $400+ order from R1 that I still never received. People, THIS IS A SCAM.

Just because Sprit sent products to some people doesn't make this not a scam. He has still not delivered what he promised to several people with orders of hundreds of dollars. This is a scam, DO NOT buy into this GB and save yourself some money.

Hi Sprit,

Could we please get more updates when you have a chance?  It would be nice if we could get the detailed updates you were getting for a short time.
It is -edit- ummm.... almost? -/edit- the 15th, the date by which you scheduled yourself complete, but I, and others, have still not received any word.

I understand things happen, and I don't mind more delays, except for two issues
1 - Lack of communication
2 - You continue to run new group buys while many of us are approaching the three year anniversary of our orders.

I don't mind delays, you have your life to live, but it is disheartening that you are running new group buys while we are waiting.

Please, either continue with the updates so we know something is happening, or just refund my order.
I really don't even want the stuff I ordered anymore.

Best wishes

Dansor

It's sad to see so many people not getting orders, since I really want an acrylic sprit case for a build. makes me wonder how long It'd take for me to get it. my springs came in 2 weeks or so but it seems like nobody is complaining about the spring shipping.  :(

All of his other group buys seem to be moving along quite well, which makes the delays in this buy all the more confounding.
He also posts to those threads much more frequently and with more detail.

Honestly, I feel like he wants to forget about this group buy as much as many of us waiting do.
I wish he'd just issue refunds and let this whole thing fade into the annals of history.

Wait, what?  It's been the 15th for like 3 days now.
What is wrong with my brain?  All day I thought it was the 15th.
Someone at work asked me what day it is and I said the 15th. I guess that eelxplains the angry post-it note.
I smell toast. Does anyone else smell toast?

On the bright side, now that mech keyboards are more mainstream, we can deal with reputable sellers who have websites, companies and addresses that can be held somewhat accountable. And not be at the mercy of some anonymous internet personalities...

Wanna buy Hyperfuse, wait for it to go on Originative. At least if it doesn't show up you can get a return from paypal. And you are probably getting it more or less at the same time as everyone else. Wanna get a nice acrylic case, get it from winkeyless...

Never again, with this bull****. The manipulation is too real... (talking about this situation, not hyperfuse).

I'm pretty close to just calling out the people in his other GB's who feel entitled to an update. Like seriously, you reap what you sow and these people are casually asking for updates and causing more harm than good.

The only reason I haven't had to is because...well Sprit hasn't done any updates. Why? More than likely and not surprisingly because he doesn't have one. Regardless of the reason the only thing left to do is wait for an update in either thread to see if it's time to be "that guy."

Edit: Who am I kidding though, he'll probably just keep updating the *******s individually who are wanting to pay invoices rather than do a big public update.

While it's frustrating that others are taking part in Sprit's other buys while we are waiting, they are not doing anything wrong or responsible for Sprit's behavior.

Don't take your frustration out on your fellow enthusiasts or make this situation uglier than at is.

Bull****. The customer isn't always right, there should be a degree of responsibility on the customer's behalf and being a little informed on a purchase is a responsibility on their part. Hell, getting the damn order right THE FIRST TIME should be a responsibility rather than hey Sprit can change 10 more things cuz I'm a special snowflake??

Absolutely absurd they'd not know "Sprit's behavior" then go asking for updates, order changes, invoices etc when this whole group buy and arguably others burn BECAUSE participants and organizers lack responsibility and don't take it for their actions.

What a joke this hobby is because being an "enthusiast" has given out so many free-passes, favoritism, and leeway that we find ourselves in these kinds of messes. This hasn't been a personal lash out at particular people more than I have been sick of the attitude that has been allowing this kind of stuff to happen.

Hey Sprit, I noticed again you responded to another group buy thread.
I nearly posted in that thread, but I really don't want to be a threadjacker.

If you could please reply to this thread as well, even if it's just a "I remember you" message, that would go a ways towards alleviating building frustrations.
