Went with silver on silver, but if I were to pick colors after the samples it would've been titanium gray. Nevertheless, I am truly looking forward to the board!

I’m doing gold on gold with either gateron greens or kailh pro purples. With yellow LEDs and GMK Red Samurai.  :p

Just finished a build for a Daisy board that uses Pro Purples! I don't have much experience with tactile switches, but after using box navys for some time, the much lesser tactility of these purples make them feel slightly like heavy linear switches. Smooth but not as smooth as gateron blacks, I still like how they feel though. They're very quiet but I suspect that's due to the stainless steel bent case I got these switches installed on. Wishing you good luck your build as the pro purples have been rather hit and miss for most users, hopefully, its a hit for you!

Gold top + Purple bottom with GMK Plum.

Probably going to throw 62g lubed vintage black stems in Outemu Ice housings in it.

Super keen for shipping :D

Seems like quite a few people when with Titanium Gray top + Cyan Bottom.

Putting Box Navies with DSA Legacy on mine, gonna switch to SA Pulse when the current drop ships.

Stoked for this, I don't think I'll be in the first batch though :(

I'm assuming  the PayPal invoice number "Mxxx" corresponds with the order in which they were purchased. Mine is a rather low number given I order right after the GB opened.

Titanium Grey top + acrylic bottom here, my Zealios arrived today and my SA carbon has been waiting a few weeks.  In the 50's so hoping mine goes out soon. :thumb:

Silver top, Acrylic bottom and brass plate with either box royals, cherry silent red or zealious 78g/65g. Probably going to go for the silent reds since this will be my only non-rgb backlit pcb of this year. Got like 6 other keyboards coming in.
And for keycaps, Filco SA Swedish ISO. Nice old-school shiny and thicc double-shot ABS.
I like SA

i assume that order of shipping depends on the order of anodizing.

EDIT: I asked Vincent on skype and he confirmed it will be shipped out by order number. he also sad mentioned, if the anodizing meets his criteria it will be a bit delayed.

The layout should be similar to the YMD96, so if you want to start with one of the key maps there, that might be a good start.

Man, if he really does get the first 100 shipped that'll be great...but also terrible since I'm order #101. I expect mine to take a bit more anyways since I'm also in the assembled category. Still super excited to get it though. Cyan top with silver bottom, my current set of SA Pulse is going on it right away with RAMS to follow after they ship!

I don't remember sitting on the commit button for this, I thought I found it later on in the buy period... But I somehow ended up with invoice #6, so I must have found it right after launch and just not been paying attention haha.

Mine's un-assembled, so I'll come drop some pictures when it gets here ;)

I’m slow cuz it’s my first time lubing but after a lot of different recommendations from people I ended up going: Krytox VPF 1514 for the spring and GPL 204 for the stem. However instead I would actually recommend Tribosys 3204 as it’s a little thinner (then GPL 204) and way more cost efficient.

Yeah don't use 204 for switches guys!!!!! Neither mix them in such a way. 
Use 105 on linears, 106 on tactiles (I still have to use trybosys). 

edit: to clarify, don't use the base 204 for switches, but you can use tribosys with the 204 grade 0 formula (which is different), that's ok for switches.

#172 here, probably will be a while longer :( hopefully soon though! I'm new to assembling mechs - I was really excited to join this one because I love 96 layouts so much.

I purchased some Zealios 67g to go with this board - can you solder 1.8mm/3mm LEDs with these switches? Again I'm new to more custom boards so I have no idea how it works, do the LEDs go under the switches?

SO excited to see everyone's final product!

When there will be pics of the final thing of EVERY kit,  you will see these pics here.   
Also when you will see the pics, it will also mean that the batch is probably already in transit.

you still need to wait for an update in the qmk repo that adds the melody and then you could start changing things up. if you still need help with qmk just shoot me a message when your board arrives.

How: Put the sip socket in the switch, close the switch, put the led in to make the sockets straight, solder switch+sip sockets. 

Tip: Do NOT install sip sockets :)

Oh I mean the other type of sockets for the switches, not LEDs.
