The logo is cool too bad it's going to be covered, wish the gh60 sticker gb would be revived :3

E: on the white that is.

I don't think the logo is being covered...?

Also talk to Shadovved if you want stickers.  With permission of jd and friends.

Well, plate for starters does cover it fairly well, then theres switches, keycaps .. :p

I just checked the confirmed order list and since I took over an order, #93 on the public list that is, the one ordered by numerus originally, I started to wonder, is there a list where it is noted that I infact took over his order?

We have both lists, they just haven't been merged yet. Soon.

Ah, great to hear that, also since I'm thinking about my future favourite keyboard of all time, the details of assembly will have to be confirmed when assembly is nearing its time right? Since there is one little thing I dont want from assembly that is in the original request, in this case, the LEDs

And secondly, I just checked out the program to set keys, seems like it doesnt support ISO, will this change, I mean, it should change right?

Went with the new tex fat lipped case, I like the flat look of it and looking at his pictures my plate should level just about the hight of the case making it seem like the keys are placed on top instead of in the case, also got some nice key caps ordered, I hope everything arrives at around the same time though

Please do not construe this as "Official Group Buy Seal of Approval" or anything of that sort, but as I am distributing US orders for both the Vortex $50 cast aluminum case sold by Pexon and the Tex milled aluminum case sold by justin.wu of Tex, perhaps I could combine shipping for some US orders of those cases if you also purchased a GH60.

That's a very nice offer and I doubt I'm the only one who is new to the keyboard scene, this will make a lot of people's choices a lot easier I guess, finding all the parts I needed/wanted wasn't an easy thing to do as a first timer

My only worry with that Tex case is that there might not be room for the LED addon board since the case is so slim. I ordered it anyways, so we'll see :)

Yay! That sticker GB keeps getting better and better.

I also may be interested in this. Thinking about picking up a couple of the pexon cases, but since I would have no use for them until GH60 rolls out, I could wait to receive them together. jd, if this isn't too much trouble for you to coordinate, I think it would be great.

I don't think he'd be recommending cases that wouldn't. Justin.wu's case will fit, it does say it on the threads title. Pexons however I'm not sure, iirc gh60 is about, if not identical size with poker?

I haven't received my Rev B PCB yet, but my Rev A prototype has been built for a while now. I made a Post Your GH60 these in the media subforum.

And yes, it is wonderful. :)

There won't be a similar GB anytime soon I guess. But you will most likely find many PCBs and plates in the classifieds after they were delivered.

Some people are selling their order already before it's even produced ;) So keep an eye on the WTS threads there!

Yes, it's probably happening. They're selling phantom and ergodox pcbs already :)
