[GeorgeK]

I asked this before but it quickly got lost a few pages back - any (rough) idea as to production time for these once payments are done with?

Your answer is also in the thread, even before you had asked the question, but it was also lost pages back.

No clue. We are hoping for late-August/early-September, but that may be too optimistic.

[elton5354]

Can you disregard my order 282 and my recent order change and just keep my order 24 as is?

[jdcarpe]

Sure, will do that now.

[elton5354]

Thanks. Excuse my indecisiveness..lol

[tjcaustin]

added a second one for hhkb heavy linear goodness.

I have a lot of billing work to do, soon.

[Photekq]

I've ordered one. I thought I could resist.. I was wrong.

Thanks for that - I tried trawling through the whole thread but didn't make it I'm afraid!

Where are they being made?

[danielucf]

I placed my order again so the one from awhile back can be voided/erased.

[fydo]

THE SWITCH SUPPLIER JUST INFORMED ME THAT THE ONLY GREY SWITCHES HE HAS ARE ACTUALLY LINEAR (DARK GREY).

THESE WILL NOT WORK FOR "ERGO-CLEAR" MOD.

SORRY FOR ANY CONFUSION, AS I WAS JUST INFORMED OF THIS JUST NOW. IF YOU NEED TO CANCEL SWITCHES, PLEASE SUBMIT AN ORDER CHANGE REQUEST.

You can still order MX Clear or MX Grey (tactile) from 7bit on Deskthority, or we will place the order with 7bit if you order them through this GB.

Okay, I think I'll need to update my order then. Though I do have one question, since I see a lot of orders with Clears and Greys on the confirmation list:
Does this mean that the Clears and Greys are available, but since you'd be going through 7bit, the switches may be more expensive and/or delay your order?

Thanks in advance!

[jdcarpe]

This.

[tricheboars]

hmmm.... i am starting to second guess my switch choices.

i am getting 2 gh60s.

1 red
1 green

but i dont know if i still want to make a green board. i like the idea of making a panda clear or ergo clear board but i have never messed with opening up switches. but what better a time to start!

so if i want to make ergo clears i need clear switches and blues springs? how do you guys get the springs?

i feel sorry for JD and WFD who are rushing to modify everyone's order. this is a massive undertaking guys. we need to figure out how to show our gratitude for the guys who helped organize this (komar, JD, WFD etc.) i dont know how.. perhaps a spock themed geekhack keycap later this year? lol.

You could just change the stems of the red board to make an ergo-clear board.

[Neal]

Is deadline forum time? Because I'm currently still traveling, can't really order atm!

[feature]

*finally* ordered. I hope I did it in time, the timezone wasn't specified in the deadline

[tradet]

And a last minute order change. Gonna go with clears from 7bit instead of the greens.

[jdcarpe]

Is deadline forum time? Because I'm currently still traveling, can't really order atm!

Yes. What would you like, Neal?

I'll order it when I get home, shouldn't be too long.

Don't worry

[Neal]

Finally ordered.

[TheQsanity]

Are Darkgrey stems like Reds, Blacks, or Vintage blacks?

[jdcarpe]

Are Darkgrey stems like Reds, Blacks, or Vintage blacks?

Vintage blacks is a myth, sir.

In answer to your question, yes.








The dark grey stems are the same as reds and blacks, cast from the same molds.

[TheQsanity]

Vintage blacks is a myth, sir.

Okay that's good news haha.
I think the material or weight of reds and blacks are different. I just don't have a scale or anything to test this.
Does the Ansai Universal plate work for the GH60 (max keys) . Does it also work for any 1.5x mod like the HHKB?
Could the "true" HHKB plate split-backspace double as a full backspace mod?

[WhiteFireDragon]

As I'm updating and modifying orders, I realized some people still don't fully understand plates and stabilizers. Just to say it again, Universal plates can't use Costar or plate-mounted cherry stabilizers, only PCB-mounted cherry is compatible.

sorry please change my 3 to cherry PCB please. I am on my phone at a grocery store. Sorry for the poor quality post from tapatalk

That's probably directed at me, as I placed a last-minute order to add another PCB (soldered, please!), and a universal plate for the 10x space-bar fitment.  I also added stabilizers, that appears to be in error.  Do you need me to submit another order change, or can you just remove that from the order?

Still a novice when it comes to mechanical boards, especially the innards!

[jabar]

Probably answered a million times now: the switches are still 7bit processed right?

[mkaito]

You can order from 7bit, but this GB also provides switches again.

A million and one.

[bear95]

Geekhack op price for switch is $0.60 but on 7bit it is $0.71. Would ordering on geekhack be cheaper? Price is not guaranteed but possibly?

Woops! Thanks for this info. I didn't saw it before.

I changed my order to modify the stabilizers and wires part.

[Wildcard]

Finally was able to "somewhat" get my plates figured out. I couldn't do universal because I plan to go Costar all the way. So, let's just say, I might have extra plates in the near future

Thanks again everyone for organizing this!

I was the same way, couldn't decide what layout(s) I wanted. But I need Costars, so I scrapped the universal and settled on 1.25 pure, for now. What plates are you going for?

[TheQsanity]

Is .60 price going to change? I do like the price.

[Turkishrambo]

Where can we review order? just want to make sure i didnt forget anything

[IvanIvanovich]

Whee just had to add another PCB since the price is so cheap. I will make something weird with one of them for fun times.

[ComradeSniper]

Was tempted to get a PCB for future GH60 building but the Poker layout is just about perfect in my opinion so I just got a plate and some costar stabilizers. Not a second too late, either.

[modulor]

Order in - better late than never!  I've been super busy lately, but hopefully I'll have time to get my GH60 and case squared away sometime this summer

[MKULTRA]

Seriously don't want to wait till September.  That's gonna kill me

[HoffmanMyster]

Seriously don't want to wait till September.  That's gonna kill me

My thoughts exactly.  So much time to wait!

[MKULTRA]

Especially since my acrylic case will be here way earlier.  And hoping imsto does a round3 of his aluminum case.

Why do you do this things to my wallet GH?

[Caaaarrrt]

Updated my order, hopefully I've done it right.

[tjcaustin]

I'm hoping for a r2 of ali's case

[digitalleftovers]

I didn't have plans for this, but as these things go, by the time I get it, I will wish I'd ordered one.

[MKULTRA]

Awaiting your orange as **** keyboard...

[tjcaustin]

I suppose I should wait before getting invoices started a little bit longer?

Hells yessssssss.  I may get my pure limited case anodized, but there's two options for a good orange case on the nearby horizon.

Uh oh, I definitely need one of those!

I'll be more than happy to buy you one, but I want his name to be Lionel instead of bavman.
