Just join in for gray / blue plate + extra PCB , Brass plate , titanium logo ! This with my GMK Laser to come, it will be amazing I am so hyped
Are there any images of the board in black?Unsure whether I should just order 1 PCB and rely on my good soldering skills or not... Can we buy PCB's afterwards if I mess up?
The titanium logo, what kind of finish/colour will it have?
No since there wasn't anyone wanted a black one in past 2 GBs.

This with my GMK Laser to come, it will be amazing I am so hypedYou know Laser is Purple not Blue right? (Not trolling, it could just be easy to mistake some of the renders for blue ). Blue probably still would look good with laser tho. I've been debating what color I like best myself, trying to get myself to get something other than purple just cause I can't have ONLY purple keyboards.

Set the temperature to something like 350C and you'll be golden. Soldering really isn't that difficult, you shouldn't have to invest into a second PCB.There's tons of good videos on Youtube as well that explain it, like this one:

I solder for a few companies here in the UK. It is just if I mess up, the faff that will be involved with getting another PCB.
Yasss i’m in! Got a gray + silver/brass plate and additional titanium badge for gmk laser. So hyped for this!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Yey, really was so looking forward to this GB!Is it possible to order extra plates in different colors? Should I just choose brass plate and specify somewhere that I‘d like a different color?
If I have extra PCB & plate, can I order 1 more case?
Choices, choices. That dark red color is unique. Any suggestions what keycaps would go well with that color?
Quote from: tialdo on Thu, 18 January 2018, 08:08:43If I have extra PCB & plate, can I order 1 more case?We charge for a full kit as an unit. Additional plate can be seen as a replacement, considering there might be some unexpected damage when assembling.So I have to say sorry.
Can you speak more about the QMK support? Has the PCB been added to the QMK repository?
Just to clarify, will invoices be sent out on/shortly after February 15th, or will they be sent out in waves as people order? Been looking forward to this for a while, and excited to see that expected shipping is on my birthday!
I want to ask what does the rgb led animation on the right means? Can’t see it on the pics. Does it have rgb leds built it in already?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

But I don't have any grey keycaps though.
Is there an estimate for shipping to the US yet? I think I could justify two if it wasn’t too expensive
This going to be limited at all?
What is the cheapest you can get this for? By that I mean, with only the essentials (with the case, but no extras).The formating of the pricing is confusing to me.
Could anyone photoshop GMK Laser onto purple case? I know it should be a good match, but I'd prefer seeing this before ordering.I'm also thinking how Laser would look on grey case, which is generally a better universal match...
I'm in! Were you able to negotiate any discounts based on quantity targets?Also are both of these gray?https://geekhack.org/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=93542.0;attach=186538;imagehttps://geekhack.org/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=93542.0;attach=186544;imageThe colors look so different, unless the first one is a render and the second one is an actual production shot?
I’ve seen that invoices will be sent out during the GB - will the final payment date be the 15th for all invoices?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Base colour of $275 which including case, alu plate, PCB and brass badge if you choose HHKB style plus shippig $45 plus PP fee 4.4%so $334.08 all up
what are the chances we could also get a acrylic plate, or the file to make one for ourself?
I think the 'C' and 'A' on the badge need to be moved towards the middle of the badge a bit. That spacing is a little awkward. https://i.imgur.com/YXbBV9r.jpg
I noticed a lot of folks getting a brass plate are also getting the “gold” option for the aluminum which seems odd to me. Won’t they be pretty similar in color? Is it just for feel difference or is the brass a wildly different color?
Invoices will be sent out through GB time
