This is a DIY kit.  They sell complete 'boards as well that we have sold a couple of times here (and will likely do again).

Reason 2:  Build 2 boards with different switches then case-swap when you want to switch swap.

you would have to hand-wire them. the poker board doesn't have any traces touching the LED holes

They should be ready to ship from Vortex as soon as the order is placed.  When they order is placed depends on how soon you guys get your pre-orders submitted. ;)

I've got way too many things on my birthday wish list already, not sure if I'd be able to get away with another toy right now.  Would love to have a nice little keyboard like this though.  Not sure how I'd do without the funciton/nav keys though... the RACE might be more what I'm after.  That said, I love the DIY approach!

I'm curious about the ESC/~ issue though, I've not seen that documented elsewhere (never really followed the Poker previously).  I would have thought it'd be mentioned in the review.  Could someone elaborate on it?

Ah, so in escape mode there's no way to pass ~ then?

I suppose it's not the end of the world unless you play games where console access is required.  At least it's not a commonly used key.

I can solder these for anyone who needs it. [STRIKE]$140[/STRIKE] $40 per PCB. Shipping is your cost each way.

Won't you also need to order 7 LEDs for the normal places?

I'm pretty sure you can order PCB mount Cherry MX switches of any type from Mouser.

Unless you like Vim/vi.

Wow that's steep, I don't think anyone was charging even that much for the 87key Phantom and this is only 61 switches.

Nice price! Compared to the people that ACTUALLY want to help others in the Phantom GB, your price is just 700% higher!

Soldering 60~ switches takes what? 2 hours if you're slow? $70 an hour is good business, you should quite your day job and do this full time! Bound to get lots of business :)
