Additional Teensy models available (International orders only, must purchase at least one Teensy 2.0 to add any of the following):
Teensy++ 2.0 - $24.00
Teeny 3.0 - $19.00
Teensy 3.1 - $19.80

If you are placing an international order, and would like me to proxy one of these other Teensy models for you, please state this in the comments section of the order form.

[jdcarpe]

To let you know what you are getting for your $14, the Teensy 2.0 with pins sells for $19 plus shipping from PJRC.com. Their base shipping cost is $3.50 or so. The only difference here is that you have to solder on the header pins to the Teensy. Which is very easy to do. So, by soldering your own pins, and ordering in bulk, you will save at least $6 for one piece. Consider each additional unit you order as an additional $5 saved.

[jdcarpe]

Some projects that require a Teensy:

Soarer's XT/AT/PS2/Terminal to USB Converter with NKRO

Soarer's WYSE Converter firmware

PJE's OneHand - 20% Keyboard - Teensy 2.0 only

Phantom - Teensy 2.0 only

ErgoDox - Teensy 2.0 only

Kishsaver Converter Project

Awww... I just ordered!  D'oh!

[Pacifist]

sign me up for 1 now and maybe another later

edit: filled out form for 2 

[codyeatworld]

Awesome, I'll need one of these for my kishsaver!

I just ordered!

[avtar]

[mooswa]

Heh, will fix that. Reused the original form.

LOL awesome gif

good luck with this JD :)

[AKmalamute]

If the timing of my finances and this GB work together, I'll order 1, maybe two more.
In for one, as of right now.

[Pacifist]

How hard is it to solder these together? Is it like SMD work or like soldering switches?

[jdcarpe]

Just like soldering switches. Nothing much to it, really.

[CalmB4tehPwn]

I'll pass on this one. Still got a Teensy left over from the last buy, and it'll be awhile before it gets used.

Glad to see more are getting circulated, though!

Keep up the good work, JD

[TheHydroMule]

I've been looking around online and it seems that the ErgoDox only works with teensy 2.0 and not 3.0/3.1, correct? If this is true and I can only use 2.0 I'll be in for one or two, have to confirm with a friend if he wants one.

[xmagusx]

Just so there is an apples to apples comparison, pjrc does sell the Teensy 2.0 without headers for $16. CONUS shipping for one is ~$3, going up to ~$3.5 for eight. So while you definitely do save with this, the savings are not quite as pronounced as the original post indicates.

$20.60 for one from pjrc; $16.50 from this group buy
$145 for eight from pjrc; $118 for eight from this group buy

Definite thanks to jdcarpe for organizing this, though!

Edit: Missed the headers, updating comparison. This (with headers) is still cheaper than buying from pjrc without headers, by the way.

[AKmalamute]

xmagusx: Yes looked at those numbers. It's a coupla bucks saved, and as (Jefferson? Edison?) said, a penny saved is ... (also you're getting the header pins which are also a couple bucks, so I think it works out to $3 saved if you get just one)

HydroMule: that PCB expressly expects by its pinouts to be given the 2.0 in particular, yes. Same with the phantom.

looked at that site and it seems that international orders (Canada) doesn't really make a difference and saves like 50 cents going through pjrc but I don't know if header pins are included. and going with adafruit theirs is $20 and $9.50 shipping I think.  So this ends up being a little cheaper.

alright thanks!

You get a 40-pin set of header pins by ordering from me, so let's do the math, shall we?

From PJRC:

2    HEADER_20x1   Pins (header), 20 pins, 0.1 inch (2.54 mm) spacing    0.80   1.60
1   TEENSY   Teensy USB Board    16.00   16.00
Subtotal:    17.60
US Mail: 3.03
Total: 20.63

From this GB:
1 Teensy 2.0 w/40-pin header: 14.00 14.00
US Mail: 2.50
Total: 16.50

20.63-16.50= $4.13 saved, and I said $6. Oops. Anything else you want to point out??

[Hellmark]

Hmm, may want to order a couple more. Will have to see how funds are.

[Ian S]

For those who can't easily buy it, had you considered offering the chip on the other ErgoDox PCB with each Teensey?

[Puddsy]

Will payment be in Jan. or Feb.?

I could use 1 or 2 of these, I just need to know when I have to pay.

[tricheboars]

perfect.  i just bought some ergodox pcbs on mass drop for no reason and was worried about sourcing the rest of the kits. 


one thing down!

thanks for doing this.

[yasuo]

$24.00 International orders included shipping?
EDIT:yeah,include shipp,apparently

[jdcarpe]

OP updated to reflect current numbers. Payments will most likely be due some time in February.

Both domestic and international shipping costs are listed separately from the Teensy prices in the OP.

[hydrospell]

Placed order for 2 in the form. What sort of shipping is $10 for intl? (Tracking available?)

[jdcarpe]

Thank you! $10 Int'l shipping is First Class USPS in a bubble mailer, with a Customs number for tracking.

[hydrospell]

Cool thanks!

Just dropping a note that when it's time to pay and you don't hear from me please PM, that is linked to my email so I will definitely get notified and pay the ____ up.

Thanks!

[tgujay]

I'll take two, thanks.

[LechnerDE]

Just posting here to not forgot about that thread.

Will probably order two Teensy 2.0s when the deadline approaches

[jdcarpe]

If this doesn't get more orders soon, I'm probably going to cancel the buy. Unless everyone is okay with paying $15.60 each for their Teensys. That's the best price I can do if we don't hit 100 units.

That still saves you $2 per unit versus ordering at retail for the Teensy ($16) and header pins ($1.60), at $17.60.

[LechnerDE]

We are 68 Teensys short right? So my 2 won't make a difference I guess

[AKmalamute]

Give it a while longer to percolate. I can ask around at work, maybe I can proxy for another three or four here at my office. Or maybe not but I'll update you if so ;-)

[tricheboars]

I am so sorry but please cancel my order. Massdrop ****ed up my ergo dox pcb order... Jerks!

Mechanical Keyboards (.com) ?

Also, JD: PM incoming about a modification to my order

[avtar]

That's too bad. I was wondering when I would see an invoice come in for this. I would only need two but it's not like that will make a huge difference :/

We are halfway there! Everyone double their order, and we can proceed right away!!

HURRY, ORDER MORE BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!!!

[Hellmark]

For me, it all depends on when I can get money. I have several good sized chunks of money coming in, just waiting to see when I can actually get it.

[codyeatworld]

I might get another one, I've been itching to hand wire a custom layout...

[WhaleHunterNate]

Nice, just ordered 2 of em, one for a brownfox type build, and another for if I fry the first one.

[Photoelectric]

In for one!

[Rayne]

in for 2! might have some projects to work on soon.

[nubbinator]

Put my order in so I can mod my IBM keyboard from serial to USB or PS/2...but I feel so dirty doing so.

That's what mine will be for too

[Proc31]

What kind of discount could we get if the order was just for 50 rather than the 100 because it isn't looking like we are going to make it.

[jdcarpe]

What kind of discount could we get if the order was just for 50 rather than the 100 because it isn't looking like we are going to make it.

Price breaks are at 25 and 100 units only. At 25-99 units, I would have to add $1.60 to each Teensy ordered, making them $15.60/ea. I know that doesn't sound different than the $16.00 they cost at retail, but if you add the cost of header pins from PJRC ($0.80/ea x 2=$1.60), you actually save $2.00.

I was hoping we would make 100 units ordered, because I really need Teensys, but I can't afford to buy us up to 100 on my own.

How many do you need JD?

[jdcarpe]

How many do you need JD?

Me personally? Or to make up the difference to 100?

[damorgue]

I might need a few but when I ordered from the previous teensy GB it turned out to be more expensive than when I ordered from PJRC directly, simply because he charges about half for international shipping. I have to order 4 to make up for it and for me to save anything by entering into this GB. It doesn't make much sense for international orders I am afraid.
