[GB] ANSI/ISO HHKB GON NS NerD 60% (Completing R1)

[codyeatworld]

Updated thread: http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=60159.0

As far as I know everyone got theirs or is going to soon and this group buy is complete.
If anyone had any problems let me know.
Round 1 Info:

More

Items for following members are shipped out.

propingmantis - shipped last month

bunnylake - today
longweight - today
BimboBB - today

Others will be shipped as they are ready.

STATUS: May 6, 2014: Production will be complete within the next week or two. Instead of the GH60 PCB, you will have the option to purchase the NERD 60% PCB which I highly recommend over the GH60 for this case so you can properly take advantage of lighting up the polycarb layer. If you have not received an invoice for the nerd pcb, please send me a PM.

I will be offering assembly for CONUS boards, ctrlalt can assemble in the UK. PM me for details.

This is the chosen layout:

Supports 1x backspace

GON is kind enough to offer a run of custom new style ISO housings for the GH60. Please leave a reply or send me a PM if you are interested.

You can find more info about the housings here: http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=47120.0

This run would be for the housing only. Please refer to GON's original thread for colors, shipping costs, and extra parts like screws or stabilizers.

Minimum Order Quantity & Price
This run will require a MOQ of 5 and will be $155 for each housing.

Layout
I really want the ISO HHKB layout, but of course I'm willing to comprise with everyone so were all happy.
I wouldn't mind a split backspace either. Let me know what you like.

[LechnerDE]

Oh my, I am actually really interested but my case budget is gone after I ordered 2 of IMSTO's cases

[codyeatworld]

Well you can sell one and get the gon!

2 spots left! More people are welcome though of course.

[naokira]

I'm interested. Though can't afford it! LOL!

Though Universal ISO would be the most accommodating for all. Especially those who want just the ISO enter. God if I have money and a GH60 order I'm all in here

[codyeatworld]

I wouldn't mind making the bottom row accept 1.25 or 1.5 modifiers. His GH60 design allows this I think.

[naokira]

No i mean the left shift. Universal ISO accommodates the normal left shift as opposed to a 1.25 one, so that you'll have the big enter but with the normal left shift

[GON]

No i mean the left shift. Universal ISO accommodates the normal left shift as opposed to a 1.25 one, so that you'll have the big enter but with the normal left shift

You raised a good idea.
I will try to accomodate 1.25x + 1x left shift too.
(That will be 2.25x or 1.25x+1x if there's no problem. )

Now this is milestone for me! I raised a good idea in GH and GON himself said it! LOL!

[naokira]

Also GON, will you make it winkey and winkeyless compatible?

[GON]

Also GON, will you make it winkey and winkeyless compatible?

If you see the housing closely, you will find it supports winkey and winkeyless combo.

[Glod]

codyeatworld add me to interest list, especially if we can get a HHKB version, that would be the coolest 60% keyboard to add to my collection. ISO HHKB with GON Housing--Hell Yeah!

[MarkPharaoh]

If only I didn't fall off the face of the earth for a couple of months and lose my GH60 order...Would of been a sick case to throw it in!

[codyeatworld]

so naokira, can I put you down?

hell yeah!! I'm using the layout on my gh60 prototype and its awesome.

[phetto]

I'm in

[codyeatworld]

Yes! Well we officially hit 5 orders.

When is everyone okay with paying?

I think the best thing to do is for me to collect your emails for GON and have him invoice you.
Or you can give him your email, as long as he gets them all.

[phetto]

The 27th is okay with me.

Is it the 1.5 WK case or HHKB? *hoping for 1.5 WK*

[codyeatworld]

Well we should all finalize and agree on a layout.

Do you want to support a full bottom row? or do you want no keys on bottom corners.

[naokira]

Nah not me cody too bad. Hope that someday it can still be available like a special order or something.

[phetto]

I want 1.5 mods with winkey.

[pasph]

It will be wonderful if the same IC can be done also for full size Filco pcb, maybe in ISO!

[elton5354]

Interested in this layout only.

No moq for color!

** Available Anodizing Colors are:
Non-Glare or Glare
Red, Orange, Light Yellow, Green, Skyblue, Blue, Light Purple, Purple, Pink, Silver, Gold, Black(Soft Anodizing)
Light Grey, Grey, Dark Grey(Hard Anodizing)


But as for layout, moq = 5

[BunnyLake]

id take an iso hhkb

I think we met the MOQ now.

I'll go with either gold or light yellow.

[phetto]

Ok you got me wrong, I wanted the normal 1.5,1, 1.5 layout. But I'm cool with hhkb also

[codyeatworld]

Are you sure? I want us all to be happy.

And I would feel bad if I didn't bring this up. komar said the led module will be at least 5mm from the bottom of the pcb, which means that this case wont support led module.
Because of this, I am curious if the middle layer could be made out of a different material.
I'm also open to any ideas.

[Glod]

I'm sure there is some way to ghetto-rig making the center layer light up, but I'll take any solution to make the whole thing light up. lol.

[elton5354]

I don't really care for LEDs on this board.  Any updates if this will go forward?

Any colour samples for gold and light yellow?  Can't seem to find any in GON's forum.

HHKB layout would be perfect!  :)

I dont have any samples or know of any either
I really wanna see the gold/yellow too!

And its gonna happen for sure!

that might be the only way!!

[Glod]

Busy and traveling for the next week and throughout times in September; i am still very interested in this in HHKB form in grey, regardless of being able to light up the whole board. If this is a go and i don't answer just PM me and my tapatalk will ding.

If this is a go i also want GON to add a Kitty Pad PCB to my order. For the first time ever i made a soldering boo boo and fried the ability to light up the LEDs on this beautiful GON creation, i got it mostly working and then i managed to f it all up, whatever /longstory; just be nice to add that on to my GON order should this become live.

[mauri]

Abrupt maybe, varying greatly on how pleased I am with the other case I've ordered.

[vorn]

Wow! Good luck with this! Unfortunately I'm already too invested in a more traditional case setup with WFD's plate incorporated in the GH60 GB.

If this has a Round 2 when GH60 Round 2 eventually happens, I'll be all over this!

[gropingmantis]

How is split backspace going to work for this, if at all? Like cody it would be a big bonus for me on a HHKB layout but not essential.

[Glod]

i dont think you need a split backspace for this layout; unlike the HHKB in which it works well because backspace is where \| is on a traditional ANSI layout

i like the 1x,1.5x,7x,1.5x,1x layout from the HHKB though

this is what i am hoping for and I AM STILL INTERESTED IN THIS CODY!



Anyways, if you want the split backspace I think the GON top/plate would have the universal backspace option for single or split

[gropingmantis]

I was interested in the split backspace so that I could have a Backspace and Delete key next to each other at the top there. I would post my layout but I think everyone is sick of seeing it by now.

[Glod]

GON most likely can include the universal backspace and universal right shift. so that would work out

[GON]

Yes, you are right

[spaceburge]

codyeatworld put me down for one of the HHKB ISO layouts.

[Moosecraft]

This wouldn't need a gh60 plate right?

[GON]

This wouldn't need a gh60 plate right?

Right,
This housing doesn't need an extra frame/plate.

[spaceburge]

I'll retract after some recent news I had from Ducky about the Mini. All the best with your builds folks!

[codyeatworld]

sorry ive been really busy, ill be contacting you all soon to move this forward.

[elton5354]

I guess this one is the colour gold/yellow GON is offering. Very nice. Definitely interested in this colour

[codyeatworld]

I just sent everyone a PM following up.

[Glod]

Responded

[codyeatworld]

Everyone got back to me! Total of 6 orders. Thank you all!

Not sure if this should be moved into GB section or not, but I just passed the order details to gon, so I think the next step is invoicing when appropriate.
