Yes you can write stabilizer but don't need to write Bottom LEDs its already installed from the factory. It means, switchs and 3 indicators are only needed to be soldered by yourself.

Oh awesome! That makes it easier. But that leads to another question.. What are the indicator LEDs? Are they the three right where the USB connects? What exactly do they indicate?

Number lock caps lock scroll lock as usual.

Can I do acrylic plate instead of steel if I want the alu skin option? I'm not a fan of steel plates....

So if I order the basic build listed on the GB page I would get a mostly completed board? All I would have to do is solder switches on and I would be good to go?

Bottom mounted RGB lights, diodes, notification leds, etc are already on?

 Basically YES,  except notification LEDs.  You need to solder 3 LEDs and switches for it. that's all.

Awesome. I ordered a full aluminum housing + steel plate + acrylic plate so I can pick which one I like better.  :thumb:

$255 SHIPPED is an awesome price for an programmable 1800 + metal housing.  :eek:

On my order forum I requested assemble service. Are stabilizers included with this? I already paid but if I need to purchase them as well please let me know.

Edit....never mind, someone's post confused me.

Sorry for more stabilizer questions  :)  If I buy a full set of stabilizers, do they:
1) come with 7u and 6.25u space bar options?
2) come with enough to cover the split space bar option?

I'm thinking of getting the universal plate as I can't deiced on which layout to go with...

I have not thought about that.
I would ship the any possible combinations
If you order 1set of board with two plates( 1x split and 1x 6.25/7x), I will send you amount that you can build any one of that.
so 1set for 6.25/7x ansi +  extras for splitted space bar.

One more question before I order.

Are stabalizers included?

Woops, I see it is answered on the first page.  Stabalizers are an extra $10.

Thanks for buying THE FEET with my word just "COOL FEET" :)

And I'm sorry but I have to adjust the price(40->45USD) of it from now because the Acrylic part will be included which I didn't take the price. it does not cost to whom already ordered it of course.

He said couple post up that they're the same just that this GB is aluminum, so I think they do have the holes on the bottom for backlighting and the feet.

I'm curious what the aluminum bottom looks like with an acrylic top though, or if i should just get the aluminum top and bottom.

However I would say translucent bottom and the feet is the best for LEDs.

you can do that with Acrylic plate. You need to break up the thin part for 2x stabilizer. You would know easily once you got it.

 Since the aluminium and black bottom have holes to the LEDs that directly light the feet, will the feet be as bright with the translucent bottom?

I think so, cause the translucent bottom would have the same hole on the side. I mean just for the duck-feet.:)
