Are spots going to be raffled or is it first come first serve. I feel like with a 200 cap this gb is gonna run out real quickly.

FCFS, raffles are too complicated.  If the 200 fill too quickly I may open it up a bit more, not much though.  We'll have to wait and see  :thumb:
Thanks for the quick reply. Hopefully I can get in.

couldn't exactly tell from OP, is a plate/pcb included in the base kit? or is that separate?

and will plate files be public later on?

also, would be nice if you would release a PCB footprint file in the case that it stops working, since it is nonstandard.

best of luck with the GB man!

Is there a list of what the 'standard color' cerakote options will be? Or is that the 4 colors you mentioned in the posdt?

All pieces are priced separately. You will order them all at the same time, but I separated the price for more transparency and ease of sorting on my part.  There isn't a pre-made "base kit" for that reason and I don't want to force a default plate choice on someone.

Probably won't release any files, can always offer new runs of components, or make replacements if anything poses a problem as far as pcbs go.

Thanks for the kind words.

No standard options for Cerakote.  Any H-Series Cerakote is fine, take your pick.  The colors listed are anode colors, no flexibility on those unfortunately.

I've had a soft spot for these since I saw Lightning's build. I love the fact that you allowed such a long period of time to gather feedback on the board, and the mounting system is really well thought out. The price point is amazing too. Will these be produced by the same factory that made the ones shown in OP?

Good luck with the GB; I hope I have the money to join when it starts.

Port is Mini B.

Ah I guess i didn't show any pictures of the plates, my bad.  The mx variants are below, alps are more or less the same so not worth showing atm.  In these pictures the full plate has an iso split left shift, but the standard prod units will be the ansi left only like the half plate shows.

They don't have extra flex cuts or relief cuts or whatever you want to call them because the board itself is flexible enough to not need them, and I didn't notice a sound difference when I tested with a plate that had them.  As far as the full plate at least.  I took some extra material out for the half plate spacebar area to get it more pcb-mount-like.

Whew this came out of nowhere. I feel like i'll really regret if i don't join in on this though I wish we had a bit more time to prepare.

Either way, great work, and good luck on the buy! I think you'll need it as 200 is a colossal task!

Quick question, are all of the plate options full? or any of them half?

Any recommendations on plate material and wether to use half or full for this case? I'm mostly interested in a deep and muted sound. I've never tried half-plate or PC/POM/acrylic, so I don't know how I'll like the flex. I plan to use tactile switches.

Thumbs up for the cerakote option. (A ready-to-paint version works too.) Imo the color and finish of cerakote matches ABS keycaps better than anodization.

From my personal experience, I find that half plate mount provides for a more softer bottom out with a softer sound. I think that it's somewhat dependent on the material of the half plate that you're using as well. With an aluminum half plate, it might still be firm, but with the aforementioned softer bottom out and some flex. Granted, I haven't tried a GSKT-00 yet, so please take this with a grain of salt.

I'm quite happy with my decision to stick with arrow keys, but I'm still very intrigued by the design and reputation of the GSKT.

I gotta ask... If you're interested in a product you'd like to purchase, why can't you read OP thoroughly? Writing a question like that takes about the same time as a quick scroll over OP (Pricing section is even highlighted!) or using "find" function and write "pricing", then just hit "Enter". Dude...

Sorry but I still can't fathom why people can't read simple things they're genuinely interested in.

Hmm. Never tried a half plate build. Not sure if I'd even like it lol. Wish I had one readily available to try out, but I'll probably just go full plate for not knowing any better, unless someone with more experience can convince me otherwise. Haha

Could always get one of each, but I’d recommend everyone try at least one half plate and this is a great one.
