Orion was $100 more. I actually though $300 is pretty reasonable.

That reminds me, I have to still have to pay my invoice >_>

http://kbdlab.co.kr/d/board_Lsno50/6970

Anyone have more info on this LightSaver acrylic dock? I believe I have the drawings for the case it attaches to but I can't find drawings for the dock itself. Suppose I could design my own...

http://kbdlab.co.kr/index.php?document_srl=209&mid=board_housing

Also does anyone know what exactly is meant by "reinforcement" for acrylic housing? They seem to use plates in unreinforced versions so is reinforcement just an additional layer of acrylic? I'm using auto translate by the way as I don't read Korean. Translation is a bit rough.

Apologies for the questions.

I think they meant that you can also use a reinforced steel plate (1.5t) on their acrylic housing like Orion and that acrylic housing Duck posted.

No more slots. This was a limited run and they filled up pretty quickly.

I think production is coming up soon too, so even the chance to buy somebody's cancelled order is slim. Speaking of which, still no chance for me to get a bare PCB, I assume?

If you want to pay $35 shipping just for a PCB.

These are already in production. Estimated shipping time will be around 3rd week of June.

So do most of you get your stabilisers from Mouser? Been searching GeekHack and DT for everybody's favourite source. Mouser and WASD seem to be the main ones. Haven't found anything on eBay.

that would be my alternate layout (http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/#/layouts/67f93c3f74294f6dc68c9a5d5c23ba50) for the extra pcb/plate that i ordered.
i'm hoping that this layout http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/#/layouts/7f9bea6f6670a8f44e5e4c0739323931 would still be stable even without the plate.

From which board is this set? I am planning to use a similar QWERTZ set that lacks the short right shift key and has a 2x Plus key on the numpad.

How much did you pay in the end after shipping and agent fees?
