White or black I think would be good neutral colors. I was just thinking of the PC top case owners with PC plates, the yellow might clash with some key sets. Think you mentioned the foam/rubber filler possibly being clear too which would show off the pcb color as well. Like somebody mentioned, if you are open to it I think a poll would be fair.

OK, that makes sense to me. Now I incline to choose white if not too many disagree. White doesn't clash with any keysets.

My vote is for white.

I'd go for white as well, I think it might look better in the polycarb case.

I would say don't change it at all. People entered knowing that there would be a yellow pcb so it's probably best to not change it.

This is my first group buy and knowing that the pcb is going to be yellow. I even built around it choosing to go with all pc top mid and bottom with a pc plate to show off the pcb with brass weight as accent to complement my build. I can understand some that want a different color pcb but most will never see it in the finished build unlike those who chose pc clear. Please keep it they original yellow.

I have an alu only case. would like it white, but i only see the pcb during building.
so lets keep it at the original color!

Can't say I really cared much for the colour of the PCB, but it would be nicer if it was white I suppose so it doesn't clash with the PC. You should have a poll though.

Pcb colour matters even less than plate material, are you even going to see it once the board is built?

Oooh just had an idea for anyone wanting the ISO plate, in the UK or EU. I'd be very happy to organise a mini group buy, so we could get them slightly cheaper. I personally want brass, so I can't order from Lasergist, so I'm looking at UK laser cutting services. I'm going to get one made for myself regardless, but I thought I'd offer everyone the option to maybe get them slightly cheaper if we all pool together :) The website I'm currently looking at is Lasermaster.co.uk. I've sent a quote request in already with the plate file, so I'm waiting to hear how much it'll cost to make just one. If you are interested, they offer various steels, aluminium, copper and brass.

Do you think plastic(PC) is also a possibility?

Yeah cool I'd like to know how much a copper or steel plate would be

I've recieved back an invoice for one, which comes to around £70  :eek: Due to this, I'm not really sure how viable it will be for a little group buy, unless I get quite a few people to join, so I guess lets do a theoretical IC, then I'll get another quote with a value based on multiple purchases.

I vote to stay with yellow since that was what people made the GB decisions based on. I purposely picked plate and weight colors for PC that would go with yellow PCB. I could live with white or black though if I had to.

Wait.. I selected all parts and colors based on the fact that it was a yellow PCB. If you plan to change PCB's color, at least please make it as an option for others to stay with yellow PCB.

I'd definitely prefer white for a more neutral PCB that goes well with anything but definitely see others being upset that original pictures showed yellow PCB and basing their case on the yellow PCB.

Overall personally white PCB +1

general practice is to ship to the address on the shipping invoice but confirmation is always good

i.e. deal with it when the time comes, but good to get ahead of it

Sure. I will confirm the latest shipping addresses before shipping starts.

I'll probably learn how to do that with some scripts :)

It was never discussed in the IC. As of yet, I've never actually formally announced the PCB color.
No one cared about the PCB color until someone mentioned it after GB was closed.
I didn't know some people care about the PCB color so much.
Did the same thing happen to other GBs with PC cases before? I'm really confused.

Think a white pcb would look better, buuut since I won't be seeing it much I really don't care much about the color of the pcb, It's only really sad that the hotswaps per key LED isn't rgb. That would really be the only thing I myself would want to see changed. Just for the sake of the people who bought their stuff with a yellow pcb in mind, I would probably vote in favor of keeping it yellow

I voted for white previously,  but to clarify, I'd be fine with the original yellow, since it will not be visible in my build and will directly impact the plans of those with the PC case.

I know you didn't quote my message, but from context I'm assuming you might've meant to. I got my quote from lasermaster.co.uk. It was £70 including VAT and Shipping, for 1.5mm brass, so I assume aluminium would be slightly cheaper, maybe £60-65? I think thats around €75 or so, but I'm not quite sure. I'd definitely suggest checking them out if you're interested.

An aluminium plate for a TKL with relief cuts (so lots to cut) costs 80€ + shipping at laserboost. I bet a 65% plate without a lot of relief cuts would be a lot cheaper. Before I added the relief cuts the same TKL plate was 63€. Ships from Barcelona as far as I am aware.
