[GB] 75% Skeleton Keyboard

[renzpwns]

Is the SMD LEDs the RGB LEDs?

It is since wkl pcbs supports the RGB SMD underlighting. I think only GoN uses the single color ones.

[xondat]

Just over 23 hours left on this! Sitting at 32 kits at the minute.

Minor update - custom foam and boxes are being worked on. I want to get this right and with no shipping defects so just finalizing sizing and whatever.

Gateron switches that were ordered before the 17th are being processed by Massdrop's vendor. Next Massdrop update is on the 9th or earlier.

[PriusProblems]

I am very tempted -  I am in the UK as well so it would probably be cheaper shipping than I'm charged for artisans. It's between this and 62/60 right now.

Hi, could there be an option to anodize the alu casing?

Signed up, looking forward to it

It would be experimental as I'm doing my own and a couple of extra plates. PM me and we can work something out and see if you're interested.

That would be awesome, and I would love it so much more!

1 hour left! I'm going through all the orders and making sure everything is set. Invoicing soon and will be complete by 9PM tomorrow.

[PriusProblems]

Did I get in? I was an hour late by accident. Also, Is there any way to review my response, I panic-filled it when I realised my mistake.

In by 5 minutes. I'll PM you.

[xondat]

Closed!

Over the next hour I'll be making sure all the information is correct. I'll be checking layouts are correct for all the fully assembled boards and making sure people that are sending me things have my address.

Any concerns at all, please send me an email @ groupbuy@xondat.com.

Thank you everyone for joining.

Closed already? It is not yet 2100???

Timezone was GMT +1 I'm afraid, I almost fell to the same trap. Maybe if you ask xondat veerry nicely they'll let you in.

[xondat]

Going out today straight after work so if invoices aren't fully out then they will be the next day (Monday) because it's a bank holiday.

[xondat]

Some complications have arisen when I was trying to get my PayPal limits increased. This means that my account will not be able to have the limit increased until approximately the 20th of May. It isn't all bad news, as I'm still able to go up to the limit. Following this news, a couple of things will happen:

1) I will reopen the group buy until I am able to increase the limit.
2) Anybody that is interested in anodizing both plates will be able to pay, you should message me able this.
3) The estimated shipping dates will change - looking at mid June now.

I wish there was more I could do, but I can't. I apologise for this.

If there are any problems, please let me know as soon as possible so we can work something out.

[Skysophrenic]

Can you give us more info in general about anodizing?

[xondat]

Not yet. It's bank holiday today so can't talk to the factory.

I'm going to be seeing what colors they can offer and then hopefully let people choose.

Minor update. Will be updating the spreadsheet tomorrow and making it public so that everyone can check their orders etc.

That will be great! I'm the kind of paranoid person who will constantly worry that I filled out something wrong, and this will save you from constant "can I check my order" messages. May I request that the form has entries for what you haven't selected as well, for example "Stepped Capslock: No", just for added clarity?

Oops, was busy preparing for a interview.

Comment on your order if something needs changing, but everything will be on the invoice so that you can check properly.

[UberWeasel]

So I've tried changing the color of my name as I'm interested in Anodizing, but alas I can only comment on the document - not edit.

Also, is it too late in the game to add on the LEDs to my order? I see you already updated the doc!

Thanks!

Marked you down for anodizing.

Can i get my RGB Leds too?

No worries.  Thanks for the list.  Can I (Brigand Ekelon on the list) add full assembly please.  I swear I selected it but maybe I'm dumb.

[xondat]

Everybody's requests are up to date. I'm waiting for the anodizing shop to get back to me.

[TheMissingPiece]

Would I be able to install this into Yihojin's B.Mini case down the line if I want an acrylic case?

The PCB, yes.

Minor update, Massdrop have shipped the Gateron switches. This is for the slightly cheaper option, providing you submitted the form before the 17th of April. These people are: liillliillliiii, B1G_B1RD, jo do, and FlakeTwist.

I currently have B1G_B1RD, uberweasel, feeder, SRTroN (Reddit), TheMissingPiece, TerryMathews, and maximm interested in anodizing. The anodizing people haven't replied to my most recent email so we're waiting on that.

I haven't gotten an email. I've added an option here at GH to send me mail

My bad, I meant the anodizing people.

The PCB, yes.

Would the plate also be compatible? The dimensions look similar, but I'm not sure.

I see - I doubt it but I am able to provide the middle layer that you could get cut yourself (I'll be playing around with this anyway at a later date).

[xondat]

Going to send out an update via email in 6 hours. Not everyone reads Geekhack so I'm not sure why I didn't do this beforehand.

[SRTroN]

This GB finally persuaded me to join GH.

Hi everyone!

[Abefyren]

This is shipped from the UK right?
Just making sure, so that i wont get charged for customs.

It is, but I'll be setting the value relatively low on all parcels.

[xondat]

Too many requests and whatever to reply to efficiently.

All requests have been fulfilled. Please check the spreadsheet to be sure I did it correctly.

[xondat]

My source for Gateron switches (ordered after 4/17) will now cost $30 per set instead of $36. Still waiting for anodizing information.

[PriusProblems]

May I quickly check that that the switches will be orientated with the Cherry/Gateron logo at the top (the logo is not upside down)? I discovered yesterday that a keycap that I am planning to have on the keyboard does not fit on upside-down switches.

Logo is going to be the right way round otherwise it'll annoy me.

[xondat]

First batch of Gateron switches are at customs. I've decided that Originative will be my second batch source, so shout out to them. WKL will provide stabilizers, SMDs and PCBs whilst Zeal will provide Zealio switches (kinda obvious).

Excellent, it would annoy me too. I think my YOTG only has them upside-down for the LEDs.

[xondat]

Invoicing begins tomorrow.

[Potatoes]

Am I the only one who wants a name plate (jdcarpe) like that attached to my board? Except obviously a different name.

[Phenix]

How much is an name plate?

[Shados]

Just submitted my order. Potentially interested in anodizing, depending on the cost.

[xondat]

Invoicing has begun. First 10 have been sent tonight, the rest tomorrow.

[Spaceman1200]

Invoice paid!

[xondat]

I'm continuing with the invoicing now; if you have one, it's 7 days from the receiving date to pay. If you don't have one, please check the public spreadsheet as I'm updating it as I'm going.
