LightSaver V2 Group Buy

[Jokrik]

Beautiful Elton!

From which board is this set? I am planning to use a similar QWERTZ set that lacks the short right shift key and has a 2x Plus key on the numpad.

Get a tao bao agent, it's where I got mine from

I will check this link later (can't access this site from work).

How much did you pay in the end after shipping and agent fees?

It's about $60 to my country (incl. shipping)
It's not the price I'm afraid of , its the condition of the keycaps

Luckily it came in good shape and I bought it from the same seller as the link I gave you
He seems to have more than 1 in stock

that's a good price, considering they have to ship to Death Star.  )
kidding aside, those are nice looking keycaps.
i worry about ordering parts from taobao.
some of the stabilizers i got had some rust in them

Hmm, I don't know if this is the correct place to ask this, but I guess it is somewhat related.

I got a LightSaver from the Originative group buy months ago, and I lost one of the rubber feets while travelling.

Any idea where I can buy those?

I got a set of clear ones from my local Home Depot.

They said next week. Sorry guys.

Next week for production or shipping?

[danielucf]

Does someone have an ebay link they would recommend for SIP sockets for LED swapping?

[elton5354]

I would but I'm on my phone but there is a thread about it somewhere.

Production is done.

So excited.

Elton can you PM me before shipping is confirmed by chance? Might want to change address..

Is that left shift looking smaller than it should be to anyone else?

The shifts are swapped...

[cooldiscretion]

Oh good catch

[ApocalypseMaow]

I can't stop looking at pictures of lightsavers...

What kind of switches you guys going with? I got clears...
Never used them, but I love browns and always hear how good they are.
I have a single one and it's nice, but kinda hard to get a feel for typing with one
switch...

[LechnerDE]

I went with MX Blues because those are my favorite switches. No experiments for this one!

Stock MX Clears are too stiff for me. Do you get them modded to ergo clears?

I was thinking of that too... I haven't got the switches yet, they're on there way from MK. I'll be doing stickers and lube, so I might change out my springs too...

[Ronnn]

I got clears too, but haven't had a chance to feel it on a real keyboard. Brown is my favorite switch so far(only tried blue, red, black and brown).
Maybe I will get some 78g gold spring from sprit, but I don't think I can wait..

I've got some 80g from sherry... I want to say those were close to 72g...
 

[animaliaparadoxa]

Got greens and tactile greys from 7bit. I've never tried greys so it should be interesting to see if they're any good.

I'll be lubing some clears up for this board.  May or may not swap springs, that will depend on how I feel about varying spring weights.

My brother!
love blues too but I'll go with white switch for this (with white cover )
ever tried white? its growing on me

[elton5354]

I'm going with MX greens. I'm like 60 short though. :eek;

[Jokrik]

I've been looking around for transparent cover
no luck
but I guess white switch with white cover isn't bad at all...
*trying to cheer myself*

I ordered my MX blues with transparent covers directly from 7Bit. These covers are made by Cherry and fit 100%.

I heard that the after market replacement covers had some issues...

isn't that still on pre-order stage
and his group buy usually takes a while (in a good way) right?

Yes, I don't have them yet, but it shouldn't be much longer.

Actually I should read up on his giant thread again

[Sniping]

Do the plates allow for switch removal without desoldering? Not that it would matter for me.

No, I don't think V1 had this feature.

But maybe they changed it for V2?!

.50 EURO each..that's pretty steep!

You can't remove switches after soldering unfortunately.

No..but I don't really want to spend $80 (110x) on just switch cases..

Oh - covers. Sorry I thought you meant switches.

I have some not so great news.

There is a delay in shipping. I apologize on their behalf.  The lightsaver sets will ship next Friday and PCB/Plate orders will ship sometime this weekend.  For those with assembly option will have to wait 2 more weeks.

Again, I apologize on their behalf for the delay.  Somewhat expected, so I should've added a few weeks extra with the estimated time they given me.  I'll do that next time.

I am eager as you are in receiving this set as I participated as well, so I hope we get them soon!

[digi]

no worries Elton , appreciate the honest update

[bianco]

thanks Elton for the update.

Nice!

[taylordcraig]

is it possible to split the numpad 0 on this board?
i realize i missed this buy [not sure why I passed it over]
if I can split the numpad 0 I might be on the hunt for one of these.

Oh for the love of god. Why didn't I order one.

[Zombly]

S'all good my homie. <3

[LechnerDE]

Since shipping is near I'll have to ask this:

Do I understand it correctly that the boards will be shipped directly from Korea?

Elton, can you influence what they put on the box? I am looking at 20% import tax so it would be great, if the box was declared 40$ or something instead of 400$...

+1

[elton5354]

They usually undervalue the items. You should know pasph, you've ordered from me couple times. Have they done that?

[pasph]

Indeed, hope this time they'll do the same
The Duck leftovers, where are those?

[sakai4eva]

When will we receive the shipping notifications (or we won't)?

Also, how long does it take for Korea to ship to Malaysia anyway?

[witbliz]

Wohoo !! Malaysia LightSvrV2 group member number 2. Can't wait for this !!!
