EDIT: juahenza has start an FAQ on the second comment of this thread. All future questions will likely be addressed, answered, and updated there instead of this comment.Figured I'd update (and rearrange) the question list that rmendis started. Anything in brackets are my notes. I'll try to keep this comment updated when answers are posted and I get spare time.
ANSWERED QUESTIONS:1. How long will the GB be open for and when is payment due?
I've seen this question a few times. Answer is at the bottom of the original post, under "Project Timeline".
2. MOD switches?
Form has been update. MOD-L and MOD-M are available now for +$40.
3. Factory Assembly?
No, new manufacturer doesn't seem to offer it.
4. ETA for GMK render?
No ETA. Sherryton/the team will keep us informed as details develop.
5. What extra keys will the GMK set come with? I'm mostly curious about R2 Delete key and R3 Control.
Only an ISO enter has been confirmed. [I would expect more keys, but we'll have to wait on the renders from GMK]
6. What kind of stabilizers will be included? When ordering additional stabilizers on page 2, does 1 set include all stabilizers needed for standard layout?
In the order form you can choose PCB Mount or Screw In. [no answer to second half of question]
7. Is underglow LED configurable and RGB?
Yes, through BootMapper Client winkeyless.
8. How do we order two boards?
You can now submit another order form. Might have to pay a second shipping charge though; try asking about that in the Note section on page 3 or contact jau.
9. Will we have a chance to edit our information before the GB closes? If we already used the form, can we change it?
Kind of. People are having mixed results doing so. Seems like if you order more than one or wait a while before trying to edit it, you are unable to.
10. What is the option 'Under-declare parcel value to $80'?
Its an option for them to declare the package as being valued under $80. This can help people dodge some custom taxes and stuff, though has some small risks. Typically not necessary for USA residents.
11. What feet are those on the engineering sample? 8 or 12 degrees?
8 degrees
12. Will the GMK set in the Premium kit support the split spacebar layout?
Yes
13. Will the GMK set ever be sold seperately, like on the Originative store?
No
14. Can we see a difference between the plates or is it just a weight difference? Does one let the LED light shine through more than the other?
You can see the difference but the options are for people who want to try a different typing feel. Brass is denser than steel but not as hard. It has nothing to do with the LED, though the silver anodized aluminum plate is more reflective.
UNANSWERED QUESTIONS (6):1. What feet are those on the engineering sample? 8 or 12 degrees?2. Can we see a difference between the plates or is it just a weight difference? Does one let the LED light shine through more than the other?3. When ordering additional stabilizers on page 2, does 1 set include all stabilizers needed for standard layout? Are these extras standard or screw-in?
4. What brand are the stabilizers?
5. How dark is the grey finish? The photoshop example looks more black that it does dark-silver.
? [speculated that the finish will look more like this http://i.imgur.com/liwOndP.png]6. Will the GMK set in the Premium kit support the split spacebar layout?7. Will the GMK set ever be sold seperately, like on the Originative store?
