[GB] - NerD 60 [White PCB] by GON - R2

[pichu23]

Got shipping confirmation this morning. Can't wait for it to arrive now.

I went with 1 PCB with all the soldiering options fwiw.

Pictures when it arrives would be awesome 

[eosph]

If the flight tracker is to be believed it landed in London around 50 minutes ago. Which means knowing the UK postal service I should get it by February next year.

I'll post some pics as soon as it arrives. I don't have any of the parts to build the full keyboard yet though.

So, mine was shipped a few days ago too.

Can't wait to get it, except that I still need to find a case and order the plate

What cases/plate do you guys plan to use with this?

I've yet to order mine 
Anyways, was planning to get GON's universal plate but will be using my black vortex alu case. Hopefully it will fit nice

Christmas came early today!  I think I like this one better than the black one from the previous group buy.  Too bad this one is for the wife   This thing is beautiful!!  Pure masterful craftsmanship in the soldering work - but I wouldn't expect anything less from GON   Thanks again GON!  I'll be back for a case and some switches once I save some pennies!

Attaboy. That looks sweet.
Does the purple smds cause any soft of blockages on non gon cases ?

Alright, I finally placed an order... my wallet...
$174.02 USD after PCB, assembly, 1 set of stabilizers, and shipping.

I hope this is worth it!

Oh it's worth every penny  I just finished my black NerD60. The build quality is first class, and the configuration GUI is perfect. Has also locking Fn , it's just perfect.
I'm typing in it right now. After I raise more funds I will get a second one this time I will take also a plate.
And I just have to post this again because this is the perfect board for me:

Looks sweet, what case is that? Got more pictures of it with LEDs? :D Video would be awesome.

[DanielT]

The case is from taobao, it's not premium quality but is well built and looks good.
I don't have any LED's don't care about that, sorry.

Placed my order today for a white GON NerD60  this time I took also a plate. I will be my first board with a plate so why not start with the best

Good choise. I kinda extended my order and got a TKL too >_<

[kitsun8]

Just received my GON PCB today! 
It looks great!

[henz]

i guess the pcbs are faster than the plates :/ i want mine too!

[DanielT]

Plates take longer because GON doesn't have them on stock, at least not already anodized, each order is a custom order

Damn, I really need to place my order soon as well 

[DanielT]

I sold 2 boards and some other stuff to get this one. But this is my last board, I don't need any other boards.
After I've built the Black Nerd60 board I knew that I have to get a second one.

Hmm. Which plate did you get tho ? I was thinking of getting the silver plate. Simple yet nice 

[DanielT]

I got a black one, the case will be a black low vortex alu case, so it will look perfect. MX Black switches, hope to find some vintage ones, and orange stickers. And 55g springs from GON, I hoped for the gold ones from Sprit but the shipping is delayed, I guess because of the 60% PCB
But it will be a nice board, with original Cherry WoB caps. So a black board with a white PCB
No LED's, don't care for that.

Sorry if this is a stupid question:
If I don't care for all the SMD LED options, will it be enough to fit every key with either a diode or a LED? No SMD parts required?

//e and can somebody hint at the shipping costs to an european country? I don't want to create an account just for that.

It's so nice!!!

Shipping to the UK for me was $23

a pcb would be 25$ i think.

For each switch you need a diode, that one is not optional, but it's also the easiest to solder because is not SMD.
For normal backlight (in switch LED) you need rezistors one per switch, these are SMD ones, not so easy to solder.
For side LED's these are SMD type and require also rezistors.

Shipping to EU should be around 23-25$ for Romania it was 23$.

Ehrmagawd! Just got my boards and I'm so pumped right now! I had no idea we were in for v2 pcbs.

GON da man fo' sure.

When the IC was made the stock PCB was green, at some point GON gave a hint that the new version of the PCB will be white. So actually this GB is for the stock version, and in fact is no longer a GB is just a thread about the white version because this is the new stock PCB

Ah, I see. Still, surprises are always nice!  )

How many SMD leds will i fit into this ?
