About Assembly options: We can support you with:
* Switches: - All kinds of new Cherry Switches and Gaterons.
- Zealios Round 5: we can order from Zeal for you, but only arrive in April/May.
- MOD-H (from Originative): we can order them for you, but we never have them in hand, so we do not know about quality and other things.
- Cherry Black from Wyse keyboard: 90s vintage cherry blacks. After desoldering, all switches will be cleaned by Ultrasonic, then tune with Dupont Krytox Lube. (mixed 103 and 205)
- Chery Black from Cherry G80-0577: true 80s vintage blacks, Screw in stabs, fully cleaned and tuned
- Cherry MX Clears from Cherry G80-8000.
Old Cherry switches only available for orders with full tuning (lube, spring swap, w or w/o stickers, hotswap LEDs) and not for sale separately. We only use Krytox lube, mixing from 103 and 205.
* Stabilizer: - Original Cherry PCB mount Stab
- Zeal Transparent Gold PCB mount (need to wait for GB)
- Sprit Gold Stab PCB mount
- and we may have some GMK screw stab PCB mount left. We do not test them yet, can not say about the quality and feeling.
* Springs: all kinds from Sprit inlucde steel and gold and winkeyless.kr springs (sorry, no GON spring).
About timing: We can only start assembling when we receive plates and PCBs from the factory. It means that you have to wait longer than buyers who only order DIY kit. It takes about 2 days for soldering and testing for each board (and longer for the boards that require lubing switches). All keyboards using Zealios have to wait until Zealpc send out Round5. So you'll have to wait 1 week to 4 weeks depends on your order number on the list.
We will also have a speadsheet to update the assembly process.

To answer some of the questions you guys had asked- Yes you can use custom font for your engraving, just note on the form and I will provide you an email address later and you can send me a picture of your customized design (In fact you can customize it however you want, even a symbol or a logo works
- The form is now updated, you can edit your submission to make changes
- SPRiT and winkeyless.kr springs are available for assembly options (Wyse vintage blacks and Zealios are also available, and of course other more common switches)
- You can send the money to me as a gift for saving money. Please PM me before invoicing.
REMINDER: I'm still working with the factory for the micro-arc oxidation surface treatment option. If we hit enough orders and the results are viable, we will have a small raffle for all GB joiners to opt-in.
For founders, you will all get custom sleeved USB cables, maybe some more customized options (I'm still thinking what to add as extra gifts, maybe more to come later...)
