and this may very well be way faster than the GB XD
I do have the same feeling.and this may very well be way faster than the GB XD
Not sure whether to laugh or cry. :facepalm:
I did uploaded komar's project to get a quote in seeedstudio:
so so 80 bucks per 10 boards.
Yes Sir, only the PCB.I did uploaded komar's project to get a quote in seeedstudio:

Probably not loaded with electronics, though, right?
It's only been a few hours tho, maybe give it the weekend before dooming the effort? :pi actually meant the prices we were tossing around. they're not great :(

In for a PCB or two.
i just want to note that my goal here is not to piss off gh60 GB customers. i've always wanted to make GH60 boards a regular stock item, so this isn't really a GB, it's just planning for carrying regular stock of pcbs
I would like a black or white PCB because of you use a case like gons skinny 60% it just looks hideous with colors like yellow
I would like a black or white PCB because of you use a case like gons skinny 60% it just looks hideous with colors like yellow
And I was thinking of getting the yellow pcb because of the Massdrop frosted clear TEX case… :)
But I do agree that it could also end up less than great, and for that reason, I would be far more comfortable buying black, and would really consider yellow if; it turns out looking good, I already had a black on hand, and the PCBs were affordable enough to experiment with.
Imagine this with a yellow pcb, a yellow backlight, bumblebee keycaps, and a gold plate.. mmmmmmShow Image(https://d2qmzng4l690lq.cloudfront.net/resizer/1500x1000/r/texcase1.png)

So it seems that here one can have a GH60 before all those that have been waiting for a year in the official GB.
It's an open source project and this is a free market so nothing is wrong here.
Why i have a bitter taste then?
Well, didn't Komar say that he'll release the final PCB, after the GB end?
Yes, I will buy no matter the PCB color. I think most people will compromise on that to speed things up.+1
i think it's a given that there won't be a concensus on color. :P

No, probably not. You might lean toward black, as the GB PCBs are supposedly white. I say supposedly, because I haven't seen a production PCB at all, not even a pic of one.
pcb numbers are not looking great
I'd be up for a PCB and plate. Assuming the plate would offer traditional ANSI with bottom row:can do any layout with these plates
[ 1.5 ] [ 1 ] [ 1.5 ] [ 7 ] [ 1.5 ] [ 1 ] [ 1.5 ]

I've seen many listings on taobao for these GH60 PCBs. I'm curious, wouldn't it be faster for the people interested only in the PCB to simply purchase one through taobao?
I bet that CaptBadAss will ask for a purple PCB ...
:D

Those are Rev.B prototype PCBs that some Chinese sellers sent to production.
The final revision has not been released to the public yet.

yes, the most current pcb revision is what we will be manufacturing.

There was a bug in the previous version, if you used backlighting, it shorted a trace from the last column of switches I believe.

Does this mean that the previous versions are functional but this backlighting issue?
Good point if it has issues I would rather not get this and just wait for the final one to be released although I will still like to get a plate if it is possible.MoreI've seen many listings on taobao for these GH60 PCBs.

What it means to me is:
Why would you ever willingly purchase a product with a known flaw? Especially if the revised version was, or was soon to be, available?
No, no, no. The version being sold here will be the final revision. mkawa is working with komar007 to get more of the production version PCBs made.
I was answering a question about "GH60s" being sold on taobao.
Excuse my ignorance, because this question's answer should be pretty obvious for most of you, but does the GH60 PCB have slots for Cherry PCB mounted stabilizers?

If the flaw didn't affect the intended use of said product (I wouldn't plan on backlighting) also timing with having to wait X amount of time for revised version or get now with "flawed" version.

Cost and availability. Unless what I found was a Face U, its price under 15 bucks is unbeatable. I do not really need back light, I always think it is very fancy and good for the eyes, but not needed for functionality.
Will the final revision PCB designs be publicly available?There was chatter of mechanicalkeyboards.com selling them at some point, so possibly yes.

i've gone ahead and listed the titanium plates. PCB plans are still under wraps, and will not be revealed until after the current GH60 gb ships
plates: http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=59834.new#new (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=59834.new#new)
For the moment, I'm going to say that these are available anodized. Please specify your color from the standard colors in your order notes:

i don't want to say anything about that yet because 1) we're not organized enough to know and 2) not to pitchfork the GH60 gb people
Will these plates be compatible with a typical 60% like a poker ii? If so, I am interested!
I have a back-lit poker, so I guess it won't be compatible?Will these plates be compatible with a typical 60% like a poker ii? If so, I am interested!
They don't have the opening next to the Caps Lock switch hole for the LED, if that concerns you.

Shouldn't be an issue, I guess. I wonder what it takes to drill through titanium...I have a back-lit poker, so I guess it won't be compatible?Will these plates be compatible with a typical 60% like a poker ii? If so, I am interested!

It's compatible as long as you don't care to have an LED indicator that Caps Lock is on. Or if you want to drill a hole in the plate. ;)
you can use HSS with TiN coating or bright HSS, but keep the feed rates low and use lots of cutting oil. cobalt/full carbide bits are definitely preferred
it's still an IC for the pcbs. we are actually trying to get as accurate a feel for the remaining pcb demand as possible.i don't want to say anything about that yet because 1) we're not organized enough to know and 2) not to pitchfork the GH60 gb people
Maybe the title of the thread should be changed to: [IC] GH60 Ti plates, otherwise it suggests PCBs can be offered, while it is clear they cannot be offered now.

as for plates, i've opened up orders now that i have a pretty good idea of what the demand is.
I'd be up for a 60% plate
Ok thanks a lot :)I'd be up for a 60% plate
Get yourself one, the buy is still up on geekhackers.org, winkeyless and winkeyed. Last status we have says we still need to fill the sheet for it to get cut, and mkawa is sorting out some car and career stuff. One more order just means that much sooner we all get ours cut.
Go check out the thread for plates:
