Thanks for organizing this Ivan. If any Americans are ordering one and wouldn't mind proxying to Canada for me, I would appreciate it!

[Sygaldry]

Thanks for doing this!

Is the 5mm bezel the one with countersink screws?

[exitfire401]

Thanks for organizing this Ivan. If any Americans are ordering one and wouldn't mind proxying to Canada for me, I would appreciate it!

Still not sure if I'm planning on ordering one or not, but either way, I'll gladly proxy for you.

[IvanIvanovich]

Yes I only offer type you can't see screw from above.

Thanks for offering! I will wait to see if someone else is ordering one, as shipping is cheaper for two! If not I will take you up on your offer

[IvanIvanovich]

Would any be interested in assembly service? I could source switch (stock only, will not do mods at all!) and put together and test for some limited amount of people... not sure what is the fair price though.

will the pcb be pre soldered and ready to go?

I could be interested, as it might be cheaper than me paying for switches + additional shipping elsewhere.

I might go for that otherwise I'll just put in in my pile and forget I have it. :facepalm:

[Sygaldry]

I think diodes and resistors and controller come pre-soldered, ready to have some switches and LEDs soldered in.
Someone else will have to confirm this though.

[IvanIvanovich]

Yes the SMD parts come done already. Just need to add switch and led if backlight is desired.

i'd be interested in one that's assembled since i have 0 soldering ability/equipment.

or i'd have to go bug someone to assemble it for me...

[jdcarpe]

Ordered. Thanks for organizing this, Ivan.

[blighty]

A keyboard with a remote?  Sounds fun.  Any clue on the interface to program it?

[tuantruong]

Ordered, thanks Ivan. 
Here are some pics for the reference.

IMO, it would be better if we could have more LEDs than only one on the 3rd row of bottom PCB LEDs. And the backlit logo is kinda useless since we couldn't see it when put the keycaps on. 

[DrHubblePhD]

I would also be willing to proxy or assemble with mods, Let me know if you are interested.

[Karura]

Can this do numpad on the left?

[IvanIvanovich]

I will doublecheck, I think program utility will be made available. I'll post definite answer later once I have it.

Can this do numpad on the left?

I don't think it would be good, it would require a lot of modifications, but perhaps.

Is it possible to pay the invoice with a credit card? My friend only has $10 in his PayPal account but plenty ofcash.

If you have a paypal account, you just need to add the card to your wallet on paypal and select it when you go to pay the invoice.

[radio_killah]

This is just the chinese version of the light saver right?

[IvanIvanovich]

yes, actually the buyer dosen't even need a paypal account at all to pay the invoices. Can use credit cards or e-checks, no problem. Paypal just process the payments.

[exitfire401]

Essentially, but with more lighting options on board and more customization options for the case.

[geniekid]

Any way to get extra feet in different colors?

[jdcarpe]

Any way to get extra feet in different colors?

Submit another order, I'm guessing.

That's a good idea but a new order might be interpreted as overriding the old.  In any case I was just curious.  I actually think a couple sets of grey will be just fine for me ).  Will place an order tonight.

[agbockus]

So for the bottom row, would it be possible to do 1.25, 1.25, 1.25, 6.25, 1.5, 1.5, 1, 1, 1 (standard except for on the right side of the space bar, then the arrow keys and a smaller Shift key?)

[SL89]

FINALLY

i was gonna do the red scarf II with ghostofharry but i think he got killed by his cap group buy

ill be posting my order soon,

[IvanIvanovich]

Probably it's OK to order some extra feet, just send me a note when you get your invoice before pay and I can add.

If there is some combination that is not show explicitly... it probably can still work if it physically fits.

[munch]

1st pic is not with plate right? or is plate not covering entire PCB?
very cool. too bad it's USA only, makes it a little more difficult for me...
will give it some more thought, few days left still. cheers for organizing it.

Is your pile like dragon's gold pile ? if so at which time are you asleep for us to loot ?

[byker]

What do you guys think, plate or plateless? I am leaning towards plate for added support, but less customisation is available then..

[madhias]

USA onlys helps me to save some money, but the offer is interesting and i quite like the design and its features!

[IvanIvanovich]

Just as a heads up, I had to increase the group fee to ensure shipping AND paypal fees for when I pay to them are covered 100%. In any case it's still quite a lot cheaper than taobao agent.

[geniekid]

Paid

[jdcarpe]

Forgot to check my Paypal email. Paid also.

You're right about it being cheaper than buying through a Taobao agent. The full invoice from you was the same as my cart on bhiner.com with their fees, etc. And that's WITHOUT the EMS shipping from China I would have to pay them.

Thanks again!

[pasph]

Can someone proxy this to me?

[IvanIvanovich]

Is there any members that are in US military stationed in EU? That would be the best to proxy to Europeans since I can send to them like domestic, and they can then just put it in the local domestic in whatever country... winning.

[taylordcraig]

Wait so only 115 for the acrylic case and the works minus electronics/switches/stabs/caps?

[3Love]

From China! Wonderful!

You could try and get in touch with tipo33. He's stationed in Italy AFAIK. I don't have his contact info, though.

Oh ok. Thank you very much

[Glod]

so you can build this without a plate and it only costs 105$? smd parts presoldered?

[jdcarpe]

You can, but I think it looks more appealing with at least some type of top cover.

[IvanIvanovich]

Plate is just plate for switch, not at all needed if you don't want it. Plate serves no required purpose. Top cover 'bezel' comes in the base kit with 2 choice of how tall it is so you already got your top cover. 5mm would be like standard, and 8mm cover up almost half of key sides. So yes, you get a full kit with all the SMD part done for $105 plus shipping. Just add switch, and keycap so then plus another $30-??? depending on what options you take and how good you are at scavenge used.
