I'll go ahead and post my layout so far with the firmware file so people can always flash that one without going through the trouble of making the firmware

Still not home from work yet though =S

You can't buy it from someone inside the US, but you (inside the US) can buy it through taobao via a proxy shipping service.

When I try to find this on Taobao, it looks like the only thing it brings up is a group buy? I can't be sure because google translate makes it very difficult to understand :(

One more cancellation today

The invoice for the third waitlisted will go out tomorrow with any changes to invoices that I promised.

But tonight I sleep since I've been out all day for work / a date

This link to taobao has been posted in one of the golbat threads. But I think it's the same person who supplies for this buy (GFW), so I'm not sure he'll be selling before this GB is finished.

I believe that all the necessary updates have been made for those that asked.
All those that informed me of cancellations should have seen their invoices cancelled.

I did a bit of searching on the web and found this nice blog post:
http://post.smzdm.com/p/391758
Google translate does an OK job.

The blog post mentioned a few status LEDs and one of them can be on the left most key on the second row. Anybody who can pull more information out of the link or knows anything about these?

I'll probably not use them, but some people may find them usefull.

Haven't updated the total of payments received but it's looking good! there are 4-5 cancellations so far. I sent out invoices to the 6 waitlisters because there are a handful of people that I expect to drop out.

If you need to cancel, let me know ASAP and by PM please. Don't just cancel the invoice on paypal and not tell me=)

I'm not sure how you can get the symbols onto a function layer. Have you done it with TKG?

Even when compiling TMK from scratch for my Planck I had a bunch of trouble with this. I had to use one of the function macros (you only get 32 of them) to assign "shift + number row" to each of the rows. Granted, it's been a while since I used the firmware.

Haven't used TKG, so I didn't know this wasn't possible. I was initially planning on just using Fn+space, but I wanted to make use of the empty key. I'm sure I'll find some other use for it then  :p

Nah, I still have to modify the switches. And LEDs placed inside the switch housings would probably arrive with bent legs. But you can supervise me if you want. Just come to Germany, be my guest and bring a Golbat with you. ^^

Aren't there plane tickets included with shipping something to another country via Canada Post? Should be, considering how much they charge for packages.
