i mean i hate kids, but i dont hate them THAT much.

You guys are killing me and jdcarpe with the never ending order changes.

I may be able to get the electronics components cheaper, so out the door price for the DIY kit could be around ~$15, maybe more, maybe less. I hate saying this, but if this could affect your decision, fill out a request for order change.

Well the options keep changing!!! Every time I check this thread there is a new or changed option.
Either way I don't think any of us can thank you two enough for all the hard work.

This will probably be my last order change then.

[Jocelyn]

OMG I don't want to be "that" person, but can I add a GH60 plate? I'll add it to my order now, but will not be upset if it's too late

Edit - Submitted

[camelCase]

I just made my last order update adding a universal ANSI, no more changes I promise. You should enforce the order cutoff so you don't keep getting swamped, after my order is updated, of course  I was wondering if I missed something for the assembly option? For people who ordered assembly service and more than one plate, how/where do they specify what switch layout they want? For instance I have a pure 1.25 plate and a universal, but I'm going for a poker layout on the universal ANSI. Will this be sorted when we move to the assembly stage? This really requires an amazing amount of planning and work, thank you for making something of this scale possible.

edit: Found the answer to my assembly question. Switch layout is specified at the assembly stage.

[hashbaz]

Ordered.  HHKB stylee + universal plate just in case.

[TheQsanity]

So universal plate will work for any layout or any 1.25 layout? Is universal also a max switch placement plate?

[elton5354]

In addition, there will be 2 more “universal” plates available. These plates’ main feature is the support for any possible hybrid layout from above. You’ll also be able to completely change layout using the same plate, by desoldering only a few switches and shifting them over (or adding/subtracting switches) rather than desoldering all switches and installing a new plate

does anyone read anymore?

[GeorgeK]

Any layout at all - if you look at the other plates you can see that the holes all fit within the universal's

[TheQsanity]

Sorry for being dumb. I just wasn't clear to me.

[stoic-lemon]

I didn't specify a spacebar wire size with my request for a Costar set. Do I need to? I'm getting the Samwisekoi plate if that matters.

[GeorgeK]

Sorry for being dumb. I just wasn't clear to me.

Not at all! It took me ages to figure out what I wanted (which is the only reason I know...) and even then I went for the universal plate because I'm still not fully decided!

Edit:

I didn't specify a spacebar wire size with my request for a Costar set. Do I need to? I'm getting the Samwisekoi plate if that matters.

If you've ordered the Sawwisekoi plate then I assume they'll put you down for a 6.25 spacebar wire (as that's what you'll need)

Edit 2:
I'm tempted by a Samwisekoi (ish) layout with the short right shift on the right and a 1x key to the left of it but 1.25x mods across the whole bottom (maybe!)...

[HannibalChew]

Just made a last change to my order, hope its not too late!

[Dgsbllx]

Crap, just seen 12 hours but time zones have screwed me over. Let me in!

Edit: wooo just seen my name on the bottom of the order confirmation, so I'm going to assume I'm in. Thank you very much 

[WhiteFireDragon]

Ordering is DONE. First two days had 78 orders submitted, last two days had 98. Basically all the action happens at the very beginning or at the very end.

tjcaustin, you're summoned.

[ApocalypseMaow]

My wallet hurts...

[osxoep]

Once I get to a computer I'm going to look up the totals. Maybe ~550 pcbs total?

[mauri]

I guess I shudn't post it here, but did anyone order their switches from 7bit recently, are you supposed to get some kind of confirmation and when is the payment due?

[LechnerDE]

I guess I shudn't post it here, but did anyone order their switches from 7bit recently, are you supposed to get some kind of confirmation and when is the payment due?

Yeah, I ordered the switches for my GH 60 like 2 weeks ago. I got the invoice the same day. If I am not mistaken you'll have to pay within 7 days via paypal.

[vorn]

Once I get to a computer I'm going to look up the totals. Maybe ~550 pcbs total?

lol, I was also curious. I just copied the column values and added a "+" at the end of every line. The total I arrived at was 491. Wasn't as curious about the PCB kits, but that would definitely push it well over 500 I'm imagining.

[GeorgeK]

If you copy and paste into excel it unhides row 2

Edit: And as a result you can see that

PCB Assembled: 491
DIY Kit: 39
Bare PCB: 179
Total: 709
Although that 179 must include some from somewhere else as there aren't that many orders in that column...

Edit 2: Maybe there are actually...

[Muffet]

I'm guessing though I did not specify I need a 7x wire for the Ansi 1.5x that it is assumed?

Also I know when the payment deadline is, but do we have an idea of when invoices will be sent out? I am assuming after all orders have been sorted and organized quotes will be need where these will be manufactured and then invoices?

[v4mp1]

I have submitted a order change

Oh god, I'm a retard, I must've used a wrong email ;_;

[pix3l_fodder]

I guess with the lack of Costar x7 spacebar wires ill have to use Cherries instead.

Just to confirm my order is correct:

2x Assembled PCB
1x 1.25 ISO plate
1x 1.5x short right shift ISO plate
2x Cherry stab set (7x wire and 6.25x wire)

[v4mp1]

Is costar 6.25 sapcebar wire not compatible with 1.5x short right shift ISO plate?

[mkaito]

Is costar 6.25 sapcebar wire not compatible with 1.5x short right shift ISO plate?

1.5x mod layouts have one less mod key to the right of the keyboard, which is why you need a 7x spacebar to fill the bigger gap.

[pix3l_fodder]

The WKL, HHKB iso spacebar from what ive been told is a 7x.

[v4mp1]

So where can i buy a 7.00 wire for costar stabilizers?

Is the 7.00 where i can buy here only compatible with cherry stabs?

[Jocelyn]

I could really care less if I wind up getting a second plate (GH60), but I did put in a change to add one and would love to know if it was added or not. It's not currently showing on the order sheet.

[jdcarpe]

Just for clarification, if you're planning on a 1.5x layout of any kind, Costar stabilizers will not be in your future. The only spacebar wire available for Costar is 6.25. There will be no 7x spacebar wire for Costar.

This should go without saying, but if you're using a plate, you can use any of the three types of stabilizers. If you're not using a plate, or using an acrylic plate or Universal plate, you need Cherry PCB mount stabilizers.

It seems the stabilizers have caused the most confusion.

I could really care less if I wind up getting a second plate (GH60), but I did put in a change to add one and would love to know if it was added or not. It's not currently showing on the order sheet.

I haven't made any updates from the order changes spreadsheet since yesterday evening. I've been battling a cold. I'll work on them today. Not sure what WFD has done, as I haven't checked yet.

Any word on this price change?

I could make a costar 7x spacebar wire on my own?

That's promising, Thank You for the reply, and I hope you feel better soon.

PS - I haven't been sick in over five years. Number of years I haven't "been" with any guys? Five lol

It must be their fault. Probably for trying to get you out of your nerd cave. It's cold out there, gotta be careful. Mean guys...

Lol I found it to be ironic and had never thought about it before. Anyway I love all people and wasn't trying to bash men

Easy killer!  I think most men have earned a little bashing here and there. It's all in good fun.

Uh oh! I hope you're feeling better soon.

I sent a last-minute order modification to WFD via PM yesterday, but I don't think it has been applied. Should I have sent that to you instead, jdcarpe? I just wanted to have 65x Cherry MX Clears instead of the 65x Cherry MX Greys.  Thanks!

[agor]

Hope my order is clear that I want Ergo Clears. It says "Clears/Greys" in the comments, and that I'm about to source the springs myself

[Dubsgalore]

My Order is on the Order Confirmation Spreadsheet

[Glod]

was it expected there to be this many GH60 sold? like holy **** i did a SUM on the spreadsheet and was a bit shocked. i was expecting 2/3 that

Whoever has to sort these out deserves a metal, like literally we should start handing out metals to these group buy organizers.

[daerid]

Holy EFFF 370 boards?!?

Damn I love this forum

[rknize]

Why not round it off with breakfast at Milliways.

[aggiejy]

Holy EFFF 370 boards?!?

Damn I love this forum

Indeed! I would not have guessed such interest in 60% boards without dedicated arrow keys.

[danielucf]

My order looks good except it doesn't show "Universal 10x spacebar (special order)" and I guess no one will be custom bending 7x costar wires so that could be removed and then everything will be about square

[domoaligato]

After WFD's informative post about the universal plates requiring cherry pcb stabilizers I had submitted a request to have my 3 changed to meet this requirement. now they show as cherry plate stabilizers?

who needs dedicated arrow keys? not i! but im sure someone will take the GH60 plate or similar and make dedicated arrow keys, i'm feeling it will happen

[jdcarpe]

Hope my order is clear that I want Ergo Clears. It says "Clears/Greys" in the comments, and that I'm about to source the springs myself

Just so you know, the $25 assembly fee doesn't include opening every switch to replace springs. That will definitely be extra.

Fixed that for you.

Done. Universal 10x isn't in the plate section, so it's in your comments.

Took care of it.

And thanks!
