Only issue I have is that my space bar and backspace are really mushy and feel like they are getting stuck on the downstroke is that a issue with GMK sets or gateron switches otherwise everything is super, just those two switches when pressed are horrible :X but nothing you did otherwise great groupbuy and very happy with how everything is.

Have you clipped the Cherry stabilisers?

Ohh update on this turned out to be mainly gateron keys although what would I need to do to clip them any links to a guide :X ?

Edit I mean gateron stems as its a lot less pronounced when used with cherry stems but if you could still point me in the right way to clip those that might be great

This removes the mushiness from Cherry stabilisers.

Thanks for updating here

What switches are you going for? Zealios?

[faxe]

Ordered two cases on aliexpress, will order gaterons on amazon.co.uk everything ready for 60% No 2. Did mention that I am not entirely convinced that a 60% keyboard is the right keyboard for me? I find myself switching back to TKL time and time again until the next day when I switch back to 60% again.....

Dat Blue 

All the colors of the plate are vibrant and extremely impressive. I'm kinda kickin' myself for going conservative with silver.

I would definitely be interested in making more purchases in the future.

[LeandreN]

No update from SPRiT yet, but he should ship the last parts tomorrow via EMS Express.

[Karura]

Are all orders shipped out?

My order only contains two plates, and I haven't gotten an update on it.

Please check and let me know Thanks

No. Still waiting on an update from SPRiT for the last orders for those who ordered a PCB.

I'll have to check later today if yours is shipped out, but I really think it


I haven't marked it as shipped in the form in using, but I will check if I have shipped aomething to your address. I think I just forgot to mark it as shipped

[Karura]

I'm confused. You said all plates were shipped out from your side.

I don't have any orders with Sprit, only plates with you. Why would the plates be with sprit?

They aren't with SPRiT. If I've told you that they have shipped, they have shipped.

I just need to doublecheck my shipping form later today, as I don't have access to it now. I am 99% sure yours has shipped.

[kennardsmith]

Awesome GB! Thanks, LeandreN!

Just as the final update of mine I just resolder we the entire board and clipped the stabs....


Sweet baby Jesus it's so much better now lol took a good 3 hours to desolder properly and even then two switches I reflowed out as they where stub on otherwise everything is super again

Only one question anyone know anything hint good to clean the flux off the board with as I tired isopropyl 99% but that didn't do all that much :X

Scrub with toothbrush and iso.

[flabbergast]

Oh yes, I also need to desolder everything now, since I forgot to clip the stabs... damn... Otherwise an awesome plate!

[malcomkern]

When I got home from work, I found my package in the mail 
Looking forward to do some soldering tonight.

Thanks for organizing the GB LeandreN

I'll have to check I was using one of those ESD brushes with quite hard bristle just didn't want to take of any chips :X

Also uhh uhh I shall take a few picture of what not to do when you leave Gaterons next to your heatgun as its cooling down, I may of made Gateron souffle XD

As someone who makes and sell electronic products...

Just get a tray and soak the entire board in iso. Brush off.
If you didn't have ABS in the switches, I would say Flux Cleaner or Acetone... but ABS ....

Actually was just looking to get some of that, glad you said something Otherwise they might all look like the heat flowed switches :S Hmm might be right I'll grab one of those water tight tupperware containers I have and dunk it in tomorrow

[zenless]

Got my package today, put it all together, pictures to follow tomorrow after i put teh caps on... snipped a resistor on accident though when i was clipping the LED's (doh, no big deal but more a perfectionist thing to fix) , anyone know what value those are by chance? I didn't think to verify what it was until after i put it all together. Done a bit of through hole stuff, never soldered SMD so a little nervous.. meh.

Anyway it was packed nicely. got a silver PCB and was wondering if i made a bad choice. But it turned out gorgeous. Much thanks LeandreN! Like I said pics tomorrow when I can post step by step with a finished product.

[Vaun]

Is the spreadsheet being updated on a regular basis? I keep checking it to see if mine has been shipped ^^

[TalkingTree]

@LeandreN: are you gonna sell stabilizers on your website any time soon?

Did you order a Sprit pcb? If you did you're waiting on Leandren receiving the rest, and I bet he'll post on here when he gets them. I'm also pretty sure he's keeping the sheet updated.

[LeandreN]

Hey!

I would like to add a little update here.

First of all, i am sorry for the significant delay because of the PCBs from Sprit. Unfortunately, this isn't something i can fix. Ill just have to wait, just like you, for a response.
He is busy, sick and still insists on doing these group buys. He is a very friendly guy, but inconsistent.
No reason to panic or anything of that sort, i am sure he will respond early next week(he is usually online on Mondays). As i mentioned before, these PCBs will be sent via EMS, which is much faster, to me. I am just as impatiently as you. It is always sad news when my GB is delayed, even just slightly, and especially when i can't do anything about it.

I have been investing the GB money in new things for the shop, to get stuff to EU at reasonable prices, but mostly about the availability itself. I have been talking with Vortex & Corus a lot. I have also experimented with new materials and such. In addition to these, i will be stocking a limited number of Zealios in my store. 100% of the GB money goes to reinvestments for my online store.

My day hasn't been the best day, but something that really makes all this work worth it:



Thanks du 3K ! (also shipped with an ISO enter! ) This is fantastic! I really appericate it.
