so, all i need to do is find the switches , solder them and done ? what else do i need to do ?Sir! Nothing! Just start Chat with Your Friends!! Already all Key mapped with the Lastest Firmware.
that great :DYes SIR !! All and All ! SMD parts are Factory pre-soldered ! :D
All SMD parts are factory pre-soldered? all diode + resistor for each sw are soldered?
Will you create a separate GB for the plates or are they included in this one?I would include plates, etc, all here Sir!
I updated the form to include my order.
Thanks for the ISO love.
You are offering housings for these pcbs too?

Can we split the plate and put the tenkey on the left (and add wires going across) like on the TRiK?
Very excited about the 100%
Can we split the plate and put the tenkey on the left (and add wires going across) like on the TRiK?Not a Problem at All Sir! As You see in the photo. There is a hint : slits.... so.. we had prepared for that on the left side.
Very excited about the 100%
Now you got me wanting a board with the tenkey on the left side :eek:
Now you got me wanting a board with the tenkey on the left side :eek:
I just want another like the K-Mini with the function keys on the left. Or a reversed tenkeyless. I'd love to be able to keep my hand on the mouse and hit the arrow keys, print screen, delete, and so on.
And I forgot to ask. Is the PCB going to be green or will it be a different color? I know I'd like a little more visually appealing color, but green would be fine if that's what it is.From the Friendly Factory, I've got The MOQ for the Color = 25 PCBs Sir !
Hi guys,
I'm confused: is this pcb indeed compatible with alps switches ?
The pictures suggest that Alps switches will fit, but the rows will be positioned a bit lower on the board, is that correct ?
ciao,
J.
Does this require soldering in the switches? New to custom boards and mechanical keyboards in general.Normally a PCB group buy would require also: a microcontroller (the Teensy 2.0 is popular around here)
...Thanks for the informative post. Does anyone know if spirit will be having plates? If not how to get them?
Thanks for the informative post. Does anyone know if spirit will be having plates? If not how to get them?He has mentioned plates. I think the last time I looked it was a little unclear if he'd be expanding his case GB to also offer plates, or if he was going to start another GB for just the plates that would match his acrylic cases.

no worries and thanks for answering! :)Different resistors for different foreword voltages. Every color requires a different voltage and therefor will require a different amount of resistance. It's also worth noting that not all LEDs are made with the same foreword voltage from one company to the next i.e blue LEDs from company A may require different resistance than blue LEDs from company B.

Dimmer is fine. Problems will occur when too much voltage is fed to an LED. This will cause them to burn out. The PCB should be fine. Also every LED has its own resistor, so multi-colored boards require a different resistor for each switch with a different color. If you want uniform brightness for all your colors, you will need to do the calculations and ensure that your resistors are supplying each LED with the proper voltage they are designed for.As an Engineer in the Electonics for 20 years, I'd like say 1.8~2.2V and 2.8~3.2V

Actually the dimness doesn't concern me. I'm more afraid something will break inside the pcb :x

all keyboards should work fine with 1500 ohm resistors
Example red LED Vf 1.5V
Example blue LED Vf 3.2V

Alaricljs taught me to aim for 3.0mA for LEDs and to never exceed 3.4mA to be safe. He gave me this handy link to make the calculations a breeze.
www.ledcalc.com
My hope is that this will help some people out who want to customize these PCBs or get into building custom backlit keyboards who have little to no experience in electronics. I used this for my LZGH.
The link will require you to fill in the following fields:
- Supply voltage = 5v (? See Note below)
- Voltage drop across = Each LED has a foreword voltage range that you can find in the item description on eBay etc. Use the lower end of the range to start with.
- Desired current = 3.0mA - 3.4mA
Number of LEDs connected = 1 (Since they are all fed individually)
When you hit calculate it will provide you with the nearest higher rated resistor. This is what you will need to buy. It will also show you the circuits total current consumption which should be close to what you entered as your desired current. (3.0mA - 3.4mA) This is for bright LEDs within a safe operating range. 3.4mA being brighter than 3.0mA of course.
NOTE: One thing I don't know is if all keyboards provide the same supply voltage. My LZGH was 5v. Are they all different? Can anyone answer this for me?
Anyway, playing around with this LED calculator should give you specific resistor values for all your keyboard building needs!
I hope this isn't derailing this thread too much. It is relevant after all.
Thank You Very Much, YoungMichael88 !! Sir!
I Really Appreciate Your Advice! Give me some Ideas for the Harmony of LEDs ! Plz!

Sprit, do you have a photo or at least schematic of the final TKL PCB? thanks.
You can find all the info on the designer's blog, here (http://winkeyless.kr/). It's the A.87Can't find sprit's 'special edition' in there though, the usual A.87 doesn't support the mentioned extra key spots.

Looks cool, and the PCBs even have ISO! Maybe I missed it, but are there several possible layouts for the bottom row? Was looking at the 75% if that matters.
Didn't find anything there, but I'm assuming there are a few possible layouts. I'm in on this!Thank You very much for Your Interest!
Do I type here or fiddle with the google doc? I'd be in for one 75% pcb.
I think you misunderstand the issue, sir. Alaric knows his stuff, but he was quoting safe values for an 87 key keyboard or smaller. If you run 108 LED's to 3.4 mA (even 3 mA) you will draw 324 mA just from that. Now it might work on a fullsize keyboard, but it only leaves 150 mA or so for the controller. As I said, I dont know what sort of current the controller will need, so I wanted to leave it at a safe 200 mA +I want to run the values I calculated by people here to make sure they make sense.Quoteall keyboards should work fine with 1500 ohm resistors

Excellent!
Now I've made it no secret I'm disappointed with the KMAC's programming (some options, like toggle function keys is listed as an option, but doesnt' actually work) and I'm worried about other upcoming PCB programming. I like how this comes with a working firmware preinstalled (very good for testing!) but I'm interested to know how to reprogram it? I'm okay with updating a file, recompiling firmware (As long as you tell me what libraries I'll need) or using a GUI, I just want it to be possible to reprogram and support for features.
Thanks for bringing us these excellent designs!
I notice some features are listed on the website
http://winkeyless.kr/entry/ps2avrU (http://winkeyless.kr/entry/ps2avrU)
PS/2 and USB, and it sues the capslock LED to tell you information about it. Nice!
you can choose which one by holding P or U at plug in. Nice!
Support for several LED modes and brightness control. Essential!
Sleep mode for power saving on USB. Thoughtful!
Three layers. Enough for me!

i'll definitely consider a clear/transparent acrylic case if the pcb is white.
just like in the pictures that you posted before... which i can't seem to find again. ^-^
a few quick questions:
do you recommend adding plate to this? and does metal plate comes in different colors as well?
acrylic plates are all transparent? and what do they feel like compare to a metal plate?
Personally I love the white pcb with a clear acrylic case but considering if I'm getting a steel plate then it'll cover up the color of the pcb....
And yes I do have both PCB mount and plate mount switches ready for this keyboard~
Thanks!
a few quick questions:yeah just to add on to this. I'll like to know too how does acrylic plate feels like. :D

Fatal Question ! You got My Heart! :thumb:
Yes! Metal plate comes in different colors! Spamming Colors.... All Plate have Colors, Acryls have Transparent Colors too.
I recommend Both for No plate, or Adding plate to this : PCB is well considered for the Lovers of non-plate Key Feeling. For the Plate Lovers too. I am really both side.
Acryl Feels basically Softer than Alu plates, but depend on its thickness. I am a Fan of PolyAcryl, PolyCarbon too! (And Alu, Stainless Steal, Steal... The Strong Materials.)
so....do you have any polycarbon cases available for this as well? or right now the acryl is the only choice...
Because from what I heard, Acryl cases are kinda fragile and easy to break...and I do plan to travel with this keyboard very often...

I have been working on Polycarbon quiet a long time for my designs.

Thanks for paying attention to this matter, sprit. I just don't understand why you're playing hard to catch so much.. you could have just put it in the OP.No problem ! I Love Jmneuv !! :-*
Surprises i want from my girlfriend! In a GB i want to know what i will be paying in advance for.

Edit: As usual your links reveal nothing new, it's just a smokescreen.
Hope you understand that you're asked specific questions, as gb organizer you're asking a lot of trust from the community.
Also it's not only you doing us a favor, 1st: you probably make some money from this and 2nd: through us your project will come to life and spread to kb fans.. so i think it's kinda mutual.
I just hope you will deliver pics/material before you start collecting money.
3. I don't need any Investment from the outer world.Does that mean production before collecting?

There's no room for misunderstanding: pics or it didn't happen.

You'd better watch How this GB going, and when You got convinced, You might join to 2nd or 3rd wave of GB. :-* OK?Trying to get rid of me so soon? I already invited the wedding guests. :-*
keep your pants on, brother. when its time to pay and there is no pics or you are not satisfied with anything, then just don't buy it. get a KMAC or something, those have tons of pics for your pleasure before paying.3.

Dont Worry! kektr0city Surely I did mistake ! I will look into the backups!
This is a GB Reservation for MOQ check. To Set the Production Schedule with the Factories.
Making a PCB needs a good Quantity,
for a certern Size of Raw PCB plate... all Filming, Alignment, Etching, Cleaning, Drilling, Coloring, Soldering set ups, Auto SMD soldering, cleaning....Silk screen printing.... Boot Loader, Firmware load, .Keymap load .. etc. etc.
Let's Don't be like Koreans! No Rush! Lets hang OUT ! :D
*scratches head* I still am new to all this... but what's a 110%?
If I learned correctly (from reading a lot of stuff here at GH) 60% is a keyboard without F-Keys and everything 'right of the return key' (num pad, arrows, and so on). Add some more keys to get to 70%, 75% and so on and you will eventually reach 100%.
So 110% adds what keys?
Anyways, I'm in for a 60%. :)

I switched from 60% to 75% :) It'll be my first one.
That Tactile Gray spacebar switch! :oMy Dear Zeal ! :-*
Forgive me for being really new to this, but someone pointed out this group buy to me and I'm trying to comprehend everything because it looks like it's what I'm looking for. The language barrier is making it a bit harder. If I'm understanding everything correctly;
60% PCB in whatever color you pick = $50
Metal plate will be available = $35
Metal cases will be available = still 2 weeks away
Correct?
Do we have pictures of the metal cases? Will any other cases work?
Same with the plates, will any other plate work or only the one you'll be selling?
If I've got the PCB, plate, and case what else do I need? Just the switches and key caps?
And I'd have to solder the switches or get someone to do it for me?
Info on how you program it?
I will be getting a 75% as well, I need to enter it still though...
Edit:
I am going to be in for 1x60% and 1x75% PCBs. I am also in for 1x87% Plates. I will wait for the plate option to open to enter it into the spread sheet.
@Sprit: If the PCBs reach their MOQ before the Plates do, will the PCBs go into production without waiting for the Plates to reach MOQ? If I order both PCBs and Plates, can my order be held until the Plates go to production so I only pay shipping once?
Thank you for doing this. These are looking beautiful and we really appreciate all the hard work you have put into this. Great job...

Do You see 60% in G80-9009 ??
I am ignorant of thoes Customs. I 've cleared them All at home. :)That Tactile Gray spacebar switch! :oMy Dear Zeal ! :-*
Do You see 60% in G80-9009 ??
I do see it! what a clean looking PCB back then. ;D
Actually, the G80-9009 reminds me of this Korean custom!: What's the name of it again? :pShow Image(http://i.imgur.com/LTw4C.jpg)
Does it make sense for every field in the new form to be required? What if man don't want plate bruv?
Kmac Mini (K-mini)Ahh, thanks.
Hello good Morning!
What kinda Options Sir? :)
Kmac Mini (K-mini)Ahh, thanks.
--------
I started filling out the form, and before I submitted it, I looked at the OP.
"Options and Order Form : Pre-View (Not Open Yet! Just a Sample Form) >>> https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1YmnYaks71dM2vMp5dFDxgIPdPQGWHKYwLCmf3GfSVTM/viewform (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1YmnYaks71dM2vMp5dFDxgIPdPQGWHKYwLCmf3GfSVTM/viewform) (Not Open Yet! until Nov.16th) "
:-X
Quick suggestion for the form Sprit,
"Your Adress to ship *
Street, City, Province, State, Country, Postal code, Phone No.1 & 2 "
You should leave a bigger box for us to type in the address format.
-------------------------------------------
| Street |
| City, Province/State, Postal/Zip Code |

For me and You guys, the Shipping is a hard Job, I would like to do it at a one single Quick Shipping!Hello good Morning!
What kinda Options Sir? :)
I mean, do we have to wait for the cases to be finished before we can ship out the PCB?
What if ship out the PCB for those who didn't order the case if it will take longer.

Going over the form again, what's "Your Address *Phone No.1 & 2"?
I'm sure he will show it when he has something he is pleased with.
Sample Order Form Updated!
I don't get it...which form are we supposed to use to order? Or we still in IC phase?
This is the Schedule ! Guys! (Notice again) ;)
2nd week : Payment : 2nd Reservation & Payment MOQ = 50
The LED Test P = E/s = J/s ... = VI = I2R = V2/R ... PV=nRT Let the Water Flow to a Ocean.

This GB is some strange and different,
1. Started by me with some Ideas, and some Open source PCB guys.
2. I am in charge of all the project. Blame me all.
3. I am doing the Design and Patents Jobs in Korea to Protect my designs from the others.
4. I've been updating the PCBs and Cases, and the YouTube Movies. I posted them as much as possible. as you see in my updates.
5. Why am I doing this? I want to unite all the private custom practices into a quite open source based standard, as the Porker 60% showed us.
6. The Results? You can easily get any compatible PCB, change it's SW functions, and put into any compatible case, as the Poker 60% compatibles showed us.
7. Why no Final Pics yet? : The PCB have been evolved even since this GB started, the firmwares updated, fixed, more ideas to improve its functionality. PCB Patterns are modified and refined. We decided we improve and protect its new features until GB meets the MOQ.
8. Why the MOQ matters? : The PCB production under 20 pcs is too expensive as we know. Over 50 pcs, it's quite OK, to put all the Color options and SMDs pre-solderd, and some other options.
9. When the payment opens, In a week, We will get New PCBs!
Does anybody else have the problem when ordering where you had to select all the PCB, plate, ect.. options in order to submit it? I wrote what I wanted in the comments but it seems inefficient and is probably just a kink.
I PM'd Sprit an alternate form suggestion I created but they either missed it or haven't had a chance to look yet.

If there's any feedback I'll do my best to incorporate it. It's till long but hopefully more straightforward.

still holding off until official mention of the ALPs PCB. I'm thinking I probably want a 75% too but I'm holding off on that for other reasons. Also, I only want to order once.Hello! AKmalamute!
Thanks !! Looks Better!
This form seems much easier to grasp than the original... is it possible to not order one of each plate in the original?
Should there be a field for GH username?
Please use this form, I know it might be long, but there is no way to make it smaller, when you have so many customization options (Speaking from experience)
OK I will fix It right Now
You can Put A dot in it! .
I cannot seem to submit, regardless of the options I pick.

Isn't 45 USD for 90 MX switches really cheap? I'm relatively new to the scene but that seems very cheap, don't they usually go for 1.25-2 USD per switch? :)I get it From Hongkong.

4mm plates sounds really thick. Is anyone getting those as well? What's the difference between PolyAcry and PolyCarb? I know they are different materials, but has anyone used both?
Edit: Ordered!
this is gonna be expensive.
If we get multicolour LEDs can we control the colour output from them with the PCB?Yes! Sir !
I have a question Sprit. How does a multi colour LED fit in a MX switch? Or does it go somewhere else?
Sprit, I have a question about the plates. In some of the previous comments you have mentioned that the plates are 'like the phantom', which I understood to include cutouts so the switch tops can be removed.
None of the plates I have seen you link images to have cutouts for the switches to be removed. I would like to verify that the plates have cutouts so the switch tops can be removed without having to desolder from the PCB.
Thanks...

Should I just write it into the street line?
Maybe I'm not looking carefully enough, but can someone point me to pictures of the different types of plates? I see pictures of cases and PCBs but no plates.

Terribly Sorry for that!
When it meets the MOQ, and Produced and Anodized well, I will Show You Guys. It's Phantom Style! We know well what it is.
Any way you can split the cherry mx switches to 45 qty? I only need a few reds for modifiers and clear for the rest :(Not a problem at All !! ;) Please Write down on your Order Form ~ Cherry mx switches are Both plate mount And pcb mount. I will check this option and again when I send Invoice to You.
Also, are cherry mx switches plate mount or pcb mount?
Thanks for organizing this :D

The Maximum thickness for MX is 5mm. In this GB,
1. Acryl Plate : 5mm (5T) thick : In My Opinion : Strong and Soft, Rigid enough ...
2. PolyCarbon : 1.6mm thick : In My Opinion : quite Strong and flexible, ...
3. Alu Metal : 1.6mm thick : In My Opinion : Noisy, Not Strong enough, we know its pros and cons.
4. Alu Metal : 4mm + 1mm PolyAcryl : In My Opinion : Armour itself.
OK. Osxoep I got Your Order!

5. Black PCB + Clear Plate /Black PCB + Black Plate
What is 'Black H-Beam'?
I'm guessing it's the H looking thing that would be put on top of the plate/pcb to seperate the arrows and cluster from the left side of the board. Black because it would be same material is the outer edges.
edit: wo I put the text into the wrong area. How to forum
I'm such a noob when it comes to this.And You will get a Black H-Beam separating the Function Row, Num Pad, and Arrows. This inclued in Your Case Price 80 USD.
What plates do I order to replicate this? I want to have black top, clear middle, and black bottom.Show Image(http://geekhack.org/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=50075.0;attach=42202;image)

With another bar between the function and cluster.Don't quote me on this though. It's just what I imagined when he described it.
Spirit, did you understand my order? Sorry about it! I don't understand Korean address :(I am very Sure of Your Order Address to a Korean in Seoul. :)
howdy,
one quick question: since it's a phantom style plate... i suppose I can put this into a filco TKL case, or a Cm quickfire rapid? ( the 87% that is)
Very sorry if this is a stupid question...
I might be new here but I already came to apreciate the insane amount of work behind this.
So... thank you.
Okay, maybe I'm missing it somewhere, but are the plates universal to support ANSI and ISO at the same time, or do we have to specify the layout in the order somewhere, Sprit?
Ordered 60% and 110% PCB + Al plates, 110 red LEDs, 110 white LEDs.

Okay, now I understand completely. However, what I want is to have a clear middle acryllic layer.
So it would be something like this:
1st layer (top): Black
2nd layer (middle) : Clear
3rd layer (bottom: Black
Is this possible with this GB? If so, which parts do I order in the form?
Edit: Basically, I want something like this with clear instead of redShow Image(http://i.imgur.com/ZKvJdko.jpg)

Yeah the order form lets you pick a color for each layer.
Oops, after reading your post, I've changed my mind in which plate to order...
And I'm thinking about ordering a few more switches.
How do I change my order please?
ordered yesterday, 1 x 60% white PCB with 1.6mm silver alu plate, and all clear acrylic case.
When am I getting the invoice? eager to pay and GET THEM!!!!!
Are there different plates for 87 key, 86 key, 84 key layouts?

@mashby - http://www1.kbdmania.net/xe/freeboard/7302594 (http://www1.kbdmania.net/xe/freeboard/7302594)
I think that's the 4mm acrylic and further down the 5mm aluminum+acrylic.
Order placed couple days ago:Dont Worry! MR. I will do my best !!
1 white 60% pcb, 1 frosty 5mm Acryl plate, 330 pcs white LEDs

4mm aluminum+ 1mm acrylic
You are 100% Right!
The acrylic layer below the 4mm metal is used to avoid shortings I assume. How can I order that combo? Order form just lists 4mm metal. Thanks!
It's Free ! Actually included in 4mm Alu plate order. I need to Put it on. Sorry for that !
It's Free ! Actually included in 4mm Alu plate order. I need to Put it on. Sorry for that !

Thanks for clearing that up for me gang. Makes sense that the acrylic would be thicker because there is no space between the plate and the PCB. Duh. ???
You know I had some to drink when I ordered, I almost checked that box! :))

Hi sprit or anyone who is kind enough to help a noob (I have never build a custom keyboard before). Sorry I have a lot of questions.
I want to get a TKL ansi 1.25 regular QFR layout with ergo clear switches.
MX Custom Springs 55g / 60g / 65g / 68g / 70g : 110pcs = 8 USD
* What spring should I get for ergo-clear feel? Or do I have to get red/brown springs separately? 65~70g
* Where can I get the tool to open up the cherry switches to mod the spring and lube? a Clip! check Topics
Dupont KryTox 104 Oil 20g bottle = 18 USD
* This 20g oil will be enough for building 1~2 TKL keyboards? 1g is OK for 1 TKL keyboard
PolyAcrylic 5mm 15 USD
PolyCarbon 4mm CNC 35USD
Alu Metal 1.6mm CNC 35 USD
Alu 4mm CNC 40USD.
* This is the most confusing part, as I only have QFR cherry and I have never opened it up.
Besides the feel (hard plate vs flex), will the different thickness make the keycap lower or higher than normal? Not at all,
What would be an ideal plate to get for people who always bottom out. (and what would feel similar to filco or QFR?) Alu Matal 4mm
* To build this keyboard myself, besides ordering everything from the form, I still need stabilizer, inserts, keycaps. That's it right? stabilizer, inserts will Offered
Since the resistors and controller are soldered on, I just need to get a soldering iron to solder the clear switches onto the PCB/plate? 100% Yes
* Someone asked earlier in this thread but no one answers his question, if one were to get the LED as well, would it make it impossible to change the switches later on without desoldering? I will Show a TIP for LED Soldering
* Also the aluminum case will be available after this group-by and ship separately? Alu Case will come soon in this GB, or ship Separately for it's Heavy.
I'd go all out and get the aluminum case instead of getting the plastic case if possible. Why Metal? to Get Physical?
Thanks.
filled in the form and for a 60% with blue, hopefully the shipping to Aus does not kill me :o

You can write the Order Again! No Problem! Sir !
This is so confusing, there are too many choices, put indecisive people like me in a difficult position.
If im ordering 1x60, 1x75, i believe i need to specify which plates for which?

Would it be possible to order 70g springs alone?Sure !! Loligagger !
Hello, just a few questions.THX ;)
Do the PCBs have LEDs on them as default, or will I need to get some High Brights/MultiColors? Do they come with resistors?
Will you have pictures of the metal cases before the order deadline for the PCBs?
Would it be alright to mix and match switches for the 90/110 pieces? eg: 20 black + 70 red
Thanks.

But, I did notice one of your latest pictures. Are those the aluminum cases?Sorry for Quick answer, I had to talk with my Family.
Is it possible to purchase just a few LEDs of various colors? I don't need a mix of 20 pieces. I would just like to get like 2 piece orange/amber LEDs in addition to my 110 White LEDs.

Orders will close on Nov.23?Yes! Pasph ! ;) The 1st Wave of Order is near MOQ and needs go to into Production in the Factories.
After reading the first 9 pages of this thread, I realised that the plate is not for 60% PCB :eek:
Guess I will have to find a plate somewhere else then...
Sprit, could you help me change my order to PCB only? Or I can put in another order, whichever works best for you.

Why do you say that the plate is not for 60%? As far as I can tell there is corresponding plate and case for every PCB offered.

OP says "Phantom Style Plates" and the pictures of PCB are 110% and 87%. And there was another form nuclearsandwich created on page 9, trying to make the order form more clear, which does not have an option for 60% plate. Plus, the order form in OP only says plate but no option for plate size. I could be totally wrong. I am so confused.
I have a couple of things I was a bit curious about if you don't mind answering Sprit (or anyone else for that matter!).
1. How important is it to have a plate? So far I haven't ordered any plate to save money - but reading this thread makes me uncertain.
2. Is it possible to change the key bindings by flashing the controller directly?
Thanks!
2. PolyCarbon : 1.6mm thick : In My Opinion : quite Strong and flexible,Nice catch! Mr. ninjadoc!! :thumb: Just For the MOQ. But What the hell, I updated for 1.6mm PC PolyCarbon Option!
What happened to this plate?
It cannot be ordered.
alright... hmm... alright, damn it... you got me.
It's too good to be missed,
ordered.
Would it be right to say that the custom springs 65g are about halfway in between reds and blacks?
Didn't realize I let the suggested form be open for responses. It was just meant to be a suggestion for Sprit on how to clean up the original form and the current one does incorporate my suggestions.
I'm PMing the individuals who put themselves on my form and I've (theoretically) closed it for responses. Apologies for generating confusion in the pursuit of simplicity.
Updated my order... change my name! No, just kidding! ;)
But I changed a thing or two.

Our GH Version will be 1.6mm Thick PCB, White, Red, Blue, Black Colored.
Did you ever hear back about the stabilizers?
do i just resubmit the form to change the group buy order.
details on the PCB look really awesome.
Just read that you said you'll be sending confirmation emails... are you sending them imediately after receiving orders, or you just send them on the 23. when orders are closing? Because up till now I got no confirmation on the order... I do GB for the first time so please bare with me. :)
That is what I was waiting for! Putting together an order now.

Sorry for asking again but I am thinking of ordering tonight but I just wanted to know how much you think shipping for a 60% pcb and plate to the US would be?
Also, what is the difference between the 1.6mm aluminum plate and the 4mm aluminum plate?
Thanks :)
What is the difference between the 1.6mm aluminum plate and the 4mm aluminum plate?About 2.4mm by the look of it.
I'm so confused... what do I need to order if I just want a pcb and plate that supports 1.5x 1x 1.5x on the bottom row? I don't see a plate price anywhere? What's the difference between all the plates?

4mm plates sounds really thick. Is anyone getting those as well? What's the difference between PolyAcry and PolyCarb? I know they are different materials, but has anyone used both?

The Maximum thickness for MX is 5mm. In this GB,
1. Acryl Plate : 5mm (5T) thick : In My Opinion : Strong and Soft, Rigid enough ...
2. PolyCarbon : 1.6mm thick : In My Opinion : quite Strong and flexible, ...
3. Alu Metal : 1.6mm thick : In My Opinion : Noisy, Not Strong enough, we know its pros and cons.
4. Alu Metal : 4mm + 1mm PolyAcryl : In My Opinion : Armour itself.
Thanks ^ hahaBased on the pictures on that link it looks like the ALU sits on top while the acrylic layer is on the bottom between the aluminum and pcb.
Let me get this straight.
4. Alu Metal : 4mm + 1mm PolyAcryl : In My Opinion : Armour itself.
Is this 2 plates on top of each other? Can the acrylic layer be removed? Which one goes on top? Thanks!

I should have problem asked this earlier.
If I use a metal plate and metal case, can I even see the LEDs? (sorry for the newbie question)
If not I'll have to change my order...
Yes, that will have no effect on the LED visibility.Oh, that's good.
Pretty new to the PCB / Plate scene.
But I'm assuming the most 87% and 110% layout cases would fit right? Such as a DK9008G2? Mostly
Sprit, do you have anymore pictures of the 110% and 87% PCB, with the various plate options? You can find the Phantom Plate Topics http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=39410.0 (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=39410.0)
EDIT: Sprit, what's ETA for batch 2? Would MOQ still apply for Batch 2? Factory MOQ Always applies
EDIT 2: Sprit, cancel my order for now. Will wait for batch 2 so I can make up my mind on all your awesome options! I've cleared it.
Could you include the Cherry stabz in the second batch? :)I am doing contact with the Dealers in Asia, Hongkong... I will prepare that ;)
Does the moq on the plates apply to each color? If so, what are the current numbers for each color?

I love the cherry stabs on my mx blacks but I do not like them on reds (they make reds feel heavier while on the blacks they don't even feel like they are on it)and I have heard they are mushy on clicky switches. I am going to throw clears on this board so I am actually happy about cherry stabs. :)Does the plate support costar stabs?just stick to pcb mounted cherry stabs.

People are getting invoiced already? I never got mine for the PCB order I put in.
i think if you did placed your order before the 25th, he'll get to it. don't forget that he got his korean friends ordering from him as well! and besides that, having to check on the details over to make sure it's correct, replying PMs and being a father :pGood Morning!! justnits! :)

Who is he, He is Who? Who Puts the Deadlines on My Alu Models? ;)
Sprit,
I have a question regarding your springs. How much difference is there between your 55g springs and the stock MX Brown springs? Do the 55g springs weigh just a little bit more?
I need a Better Setup for my Paypal Account with My Bank, So Please wait Your Payment untill Tomorrow. :thumb:
I will tell you when It is Ready ! ;)
hey sprit! I received your invoice, but when I'm trying to pay it says "This recipient is currently unable to receive money."
should I be concerned....? what's going on?
So... I'm trying to pay in PayPal (invoice 1033), but when I click "Pay Invoice," I get an error saying "This recipient is currently unable to receive money." Anyone else having this problem?

ITT People who don't read the thread. Although in their defence, this is the most baffling GB ever.
hey sprit! I received your invoice, but when I'm trying to pay it says "This recipient is currently unable to receive money."
should I be concerned....? what's going on?
It's common for group buy organizers PayPal to get locked.
I'm sure sprit will get it sorted out.
I'd like to say, I fall in Love in GH as You Guys!
I Wish All the Best Things in my Works !
Really Sorry from my Heart, for the Delay or Confusions!! ;) :)
No sweat. The delay is actually perfect for those who get paid at the end of the month. :D
Are those new pics in the OP of the metal case or is that still the acrylics ones?
still teasing us...or at least me :'( ;D
still teasing us...or at least me :'( ;D
I am teasing who are Full ready to copy my design! Not the people in this GB.
Teasing can be an Attraction? ;)
So i get the impression that this is a hybrid case (acrlic/metal)? Is the body part acrylic too or just the inside?
So one model is all alu and the other is hybrid?Yes right Sir !
Sounds good. When are the all alu pics coming? :D And the hybrid is the same price as all alu or?I guess when the order form is up!
What is cost of aluminum/polymer 87% case?
kk thx. Can't wait to see more pics :Dsorry ! ha! Pics Updated
And the form wants you to fill out the "thank you" field btw xD
I see there are three holes in the back of the case. One is for the cable (I would imagine). What are the other two for?
Yeah, I'd love to see the pure alu version as well.
Yeah but the Pictures!Yeah, I'd love to see the pure alu version as well.
One single Piece Top-Grade Alu Metal : 150 180 250 300 USD as I mentioned !
Yeah but the Pictures!Yeah, I'd love to see the pure alu version as well.
One single Piece Top-Grade Alu Metal : 150 180 250 300 USD as I mentioned !
You could maybe take the design from the Cope Break? I´m sorry but I fell in love with that design! :-*Yeah but the Pictures!Yeah, I'd love to see the pure alu version as well.

As You see on the 1st page of This GB! I am out of design ideas ! haha !! :D ;D ;)
Anyway I will not collect any money before the Pre-Check for the MOQ is OK.
Sprit,He is currently updating his paypal so he will tell when you can pay him again! :)
I got my invoice for my 2 cases but when I went to pay my invoice and paypal had this warning on top of the payment page: "This recipient is currently unable to receive money." -- so I guess I'm waiting til that gets fixed.
So i get the impression that this is a hybrid case (acrlic/metal)? Is the body part acrylic too or just the inside?
Does the cases in the picture have the top layer as metal and a bottom layer as acrylic?
So there's no design at the moment for the pure aluminium case?
Thought it was supposed to be inspired by those car pics :p

you said the PCBs are already producing, does that mean you shouldered the initial cost?
sprit, I need you to check if I'm already in the order list, I worried about itYou will get PCBs Anyway! Do You need it Quick?
So there's no design at the moment for the pure aluminium case?Do You Read my Replies and Posts in English? ;)
Thought it was supposed to be inspired by those car pics :p
Nothing, I'm just asking weather you shouldered the initial cost of the production of the PCBs because you didn't get to have all of the payments yet (for example mine).you said the PCBs are already producing, does that mean you shouldered the initial cost?
hello! So What is your point? ;)

Still looking forward to the ALPs PCB.
Hey Sprit, does your 75% PCB support a center stem caps lock? I just looked at your pictures and it doesn't look like it does. I would be really disappointed if it doesn't support a center stem caps lock...

I don't mean any offense, but is that really a dealbreaker for you? It really doesn't seem like a big deal.

Before I commit to a case want to see a full picture - top, bottom, sides - preferably with a plate and PCB in it.
http://www.otd.kr/bbs/board.php?bo_table=album&wr_id=177350
Is a link I found in one of sprit's post on kbdmania but I'm not clear if it is one of his cases - it is an album but his name is not attached to it.
Hi Sprit, I know you're busy, but can you take a look above? I'll be getting quite a bit of PCB & Cases, ( 3-4 PCB, and 4-5 plates ) as well as cases. So it would be awesome if you can answer these questions prior to the invoice sent out. So I can just give you a final decision!!!
Also will the stabilizers be included, or would that be a separate group buy. What about round 3 for cases?
sprit, since i just ordered the acrylic case few days ago and your paypal isn't working yet, will the case be in first production or join round 2 batch?
sorry, it's already monday morning (going to be afternoon) in my area, forgot that almost half of the world is still in Sunday :(
was just wondering about it since what i understand is that 2nd batch will start when it reaches it's MOQ? so it will be slower compared to first batch.

You're going to be waiting a at least a few more days. Take a look at the last few pages of the the thread. Sprit's working out paypal issues at the moment so no invoices will be sent out and no outstanding invoices can be paid until that's sorted.
Know a patience.
Will there be a round32 for the pcb?
C'est Possible! I Opened The Order Form for a Limited Qty, in this Round 1 GB (Dec.02 20:40 AST)

...getting poorer by the minute...
Tell me about it. I have a google doc tracking my group buy. I'm way over my head on this. Nearly $200 on caps, and close to $1200 on Sprit alone.....
Oh well, can always liquidate these boards if I end up not needing them =) It seems as if the things on geekhack retains value more so than other things in life.
Hey I'm still considering a 75% case for my Race. I would like to see finish samples if possible [silver/chrome/gunmetal] and would also like to inquire about the large bezel, will the 75% case also have this or be more like the original 60/75 cases?

I added the 60% PCB as well as an 87% plate (from what I understand it has cutouts for switch top removal and is Filco TKL compatible).

Hopefully things work out with you and Paypal HK.
I've updated and submitted a new order Sprit. New order removed the RGB LEDs. Thanks!
Hey Sprit! just wondering if you received my PCB and plate yet...only got invoiced on my acryl case so far.
It's a white 60% PCB with silver thin alu plate.
Don't worry though I'm not rushing you, just wondering if you got it or not, if not I'll go send in another order.
I know you're working on this but still have to make sure ;)
^ his paypal is down
Hi spirt,Please wait. Don't worry :)
can you please send me the invoice again? I am able to pay right now: )
EVERYONE!!! STOP ASKING TO BE INVOICED. HE CAN'T DO IT RIGHT NOW...
@Sprit:
One final question about the 87% plate. Does it have a cutout above the arrow cluster for the Filco TKL controller?
It would look like this:

Do you mean that who are going to use a metal plate has to use only Cherry Plate Mount stabilizers?
Who is selling Cherry Plate Mount stabilizers?
dear sprit, i am relying on you to get the stabilizers as the place where i'm staying at doesn't have any shop that sells stabilizers, nor even switches :(

Hello Spirit,Hello! keymaster! :) Could please wait till Monday? I guess All will fixed by Tuesday!
I did receive a shipping tracking and order status email from Paypal. However, it is only for the case and not the PCB. I know you're having trouble getting approved by Paypal. Could you just clarify: will the PCB be shipped with the case? Also, I still have to pay for the PCB + LEDs.

Hey Sprit,
I want to try to clarify the process ...
Just around 40 Invioces not Sent Yet.
It wasn't clear to me if it was too late to get in on this, but the form for PCBs/plates was open and I just filled it out :)
Now if I could only afford several of those gorgeous hybrid cases ;D
Sprit.
I want to ask you again about stabilizer on 1mm Acrylic + 4mm Aluminium Plate.
It supports PCB mounted or Plate mounted?

Does this answer your question?
I'm a guy that likes simple elegant designs, and I generally like B&W contrasts. I'm just not sure how single tone + Accented colors by the means of keycaps and/or LEDs will look.

Man I cannot decide the finish for my metal case. Will we be seeing samples of the colors/finished case design?Preorder means nothing, it just means that he can expect that he will get enough cases for moq! So you can change your mind as much as you want! :)
I'll place my pre-order now, but I'd like to know if I can change my mind later.
Thanks again Spirt.

i sent you an email last week, not sure if you received it or not

Hi sprit,
Received the LEDs today, thanks! is there anything I need to do?
I have a trik v6.2 pcb coming.
I just want to ask your metal casing will fit it or not ?
Thanks a lot for the info, I'll be placing my metal case preorder today.
I would love a couple plates that I can open switches with, are there all the sizes for these?
Forgive me as I seem to have overlooked this somehow.
Trying to find the post regarding what each switch is suitable for pcb/plate mount but cannot se to find it on my phone. Anybpdy have the information available.
Thanks again for running this Sprit! You're a great guy 8)
So which switches will support plate mount, I may have to edit order as I am planning on plates for my builds.OK! If You want the Plate mount SWs, Please make remarks! Cottonsox! ;)
Do I need to do a new order or should I pm you?Ok! PM please Mate! I will correct Your Order Form! :thumb:
Does this case support the hhkb layout of the gh60?
I think it does. I was looking at the order form. I can't see an option for it.

I got ordered enough SWs for each Type!
-I've got the new Ducky Shine 3 TKL edition, and when I did the order of the case I chose the option: "87% Filco, Leopold, Ducky, CM Case : How many You want?" and I just writted "1", I didn't especified that I wanted one for the Ducky. Does this matter?
- The other thing I want to know is if this case is compatible with my ducky.
Thank you very much!
good call... I would also need plate mounted switches.
Didn't think about it since I ordered one PCB, one Plate, I assumed it would be logical.
Sorry for any inconvenience.
Could you do that to my order too? I ordered 90 clear switches I got invoice number 1284! :)
I didn't realize there were switches being sold here as well... How do I order switches, can I combine them with a metal case order when they come around?The switches are mentioned the same place you order the PCBs. So I guess if all you want are switches, you can specify 0 PCBs and the requisite number of switches to go with your case.
Sorry for all the questions.
Hey Sprit!

Hey IMHB! New Order will be nice, Because I will send the Shipping Invoice Soon, with the rest things People get and New orders.
The Shipping Cost will be different to the each weight as We know. I 'd EMS! :)
Do these pcbs/plates fit in any case designed for 60% 75% 87% 110%? I wasn't sure if there is a standard for case fitment. Thanks!Standard of fitment has been one of the big things Spirit is striving for, to judge by how often he says any combination will work. While I haven't seen a good shot of his PCBs yet, I assume he's got holes everywhere so all the "standard" cases for boards of that size can accept his PCBs.

This might be a stupid question, but do these PCBs support USB?THey are mini USB if im not mistaken! :)
This might be a stupid question, but do these PCBs support USB?THey are mini USB if im not mistaken! :)
I'd ways wondered, why can't you use PCB mounted switches in a plate mounted designHaving never done it, I'm pretty sure the holes for PCB-mount are the issue. So you could, so far as I know, use PCB (/NW) switches inside a plate. Making everything line up might be more work but that would be about the only issue.
I've always wondered, why can't you use PCB mounted switches in a plate mounted design without clipping the two tabs? Doesn't this PCB support both types of switches? So, since there are already two extra holes, wouldn't keeping the two tabs on the switch increase the rigidity of the switch when plate mounting? Or am I blatantly ignorant/blind? Haha
Anyone care to enlighten me? :p
I still have not received an invoice?
First invoice paid! :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:Green Limes Sent! :)

Havent recieved a reply from you yet Spirit.
I ordered 90 switches but it said 110 on the receipt. I did however pay because I was afraid of missing out.
So would it be too much of a bother if I got 90 clear switches and 20 black switches?
Also I'd like plate switches.

My understanding is that if you are using this PCB, then you can use PCB mounted switches even with a plate. If you are using most on this pcb and the rest on a different pate mounted pcb which does not have the holes, you can always just clip those switches.

Yes 100% Right !

Another question to be sure: It goes from Bottom to top right? So the first option ( bottom ) on the form, is the part where the case touches the table correct?
OK! I am finishing Invoices!
I didn't receive my invoice yet, should I have?

same here, now I don't even know I'm still in this GB or not
Are the 60% PCB's still available or is this over?
When the metal cases become available, is there going to be a hhkb option?
Similar to the hhkb option you have with you 60% acrylic case.
Hi Sprit you sent me an invoice, after i changed my order to 0OK !
the plate that was offered is mentioned to be phantom style, with that understanding, that plate allows u to open up the switch housing without having to desolder all the switch first.
and yes, with sprit's pcb, u can use pcb mount switch with the plate.

So if I want the plate but want to be able to easily open the switches do I want PCB or plate mounted switches?
Just sent you a PM regarding time frames for shipping the PCB's sprit. I asked earlier in the thread but it's been so busy in here you probably missed it :)

What happened to the first round of PCB's and plates? Have they been produced and shipped?
any news about plate stabilizers?
invoice paid :thumb:

Hello Sprit,Holy Cow ! How many keyboards did you ask for him to make you ?
I receive 4 invoices and I have paid 1252 and 1305 as final orders. I think the other two invoices, 1031 and 1227, are from my previous orders. But I am still receiving reminders that ask me to pay 1031 and 1227. Can you do something with that? :))
Thank you!

I am sorting Out the Old Invoices, some Paid, some not responding,
I will Issue New Invoices Today to complete The Batch #1 for GB.
THiS GB comes to the Last Stage.
I need to show the Metal Cases and finalize all the Productions.
The Productions need to be Paid All, and will need to go the Finalizing

Sprit, I am working on my own case design (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=51872.msg1144912#msg1144912). I am wondering if you can give me the exact length and width of both the 60% and 75% PCBs. Down the the fraction of a mm would be ideal. For example, here are the dimensions of the GH60 (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=34959.msg954124#msg954124). Thanks...
Basic Functions like LED indicator for caps lock, Esc, ScrLock, NumLock etc.. are Always Possible since last year ! :)Oh, nice. Is there some user manual I can look at to see how to configure these features?
I need to Pay all the costs to the Factories, and Mid-stage Inspections, and go to the Fianlizing.
(PCB Inspection, coloring, soldering, Acryl case Inspections, Tapping, finishing, Plates Inspection.s..etc)
So The Schedule is Not Clear Yet. Because the Factories have their own Schedules, and It is busy Time.
Too much Time wasted for the Paypal ReSetup. :)
Hopely, Start shpping after Xmas ! :)

Sprit,
Just checking in to make sure you got my PM the other day. Really want the new invoices sent ASAP, so I can get you paid, so we can continue with production =)
OK, New Invoice in 5 min! :)

Spirit, just to confirm, are we waiting for all the invoice to be paid before moving to production? Or is it already in production?

Hey Sprit,
Paid invoice #1367 & 1368!
Now everything's paid, thanks Sprit!
hopefully you can get the stabilizers sourced before shipping :-X
Nice! Thanks Spirit :)
Hope it will be shipped by 30th :)
hopefully you can get the stabilizers sourced before shipping :-X
Yes I am waiting for the answer!
... can give me your recommendation based on my current order, as well as the available options, I'll send in my final adjustment once I'm up later today =)
Sprit I got an invoice, is it possible to change my order still?? :pHi ! MKULTRA ! :)
What does the frost color look like?
I want to see a metal case photo for the 60% layout, I am stuck between yours and another persons case but since I have not seen yours I can't be sure which I want! :DHello HPE1000 ! :)
Sprit, Any chance you can remind me what case stuff I ordered? I know I ordered an 87 key, but I don't remember what colors I chose. I think I want to order another for the next round of production, but am not sure what I already have coming...Hi! C.K ! :)

My Metal cases are crappy. I always change details. Blame my habit! Sorry for the Delay!
I would recommend the others'.
Gutted I missed this! I had no idea 60% ISO full LED PCB was available :( Been waiting for GH60 for an age. Anyone know if someone is putting these on sale or willing to let go of one for asking price?

There's semi-continuous production as things meet and re-meet MOQ. There's a PCB order form in the OP. Let your dreams soar.

I didn't realize stabilizers had been added.I guess you need to order 2 packs, 10 pcs! :)
Sprit if I want to add stabilizers I should probably just create a new order just for them because I have already paid for my other invoices...
Also, this is what the option says:
"Cherry MX Stabilizers 5pcs (with 1 metal space bar) = 8 USD *"
Sorry for the noob question, but how many 'pcs' do I need for a 60% AND 75% keyboard?

Yup. Unsure if they are plate or pcb mounted yet though..
Anyone know where that post sprit made regarding which pcb + plate combos requires what?
Does anyone know what kind of stabilizers this will use? Are they PCB Mount? Thanks!

As You told, That's why I opened Order Form Yet.
The Spring will be Gold Plated!
Wait, the clear acrylic plate is only compatible with PCB-mount switches only?
Ordered some extras too.. $1.50 per stab is a bit steep however :(
Yay! Gold plated springs, awesome! Ordered one of each. What happened to 68G spring? Will springs from old form still be gold plated?
Ordered some extras too.. $1.50 per stab is a bit steep however :(
This is actually cheaper than other places I have seen. IMSTO is selling 5 for $10 (so $2/piece).
Hey guys, newbie here, can you answer some questions for me?
1. If you order a case and PCB, what do you have to do to mount switches? Do you need to solder them on?
2. Where is sprit selling springs? Everyone in the thread keeps talking about buying springs and stabs but I don't see where they're buying from.
Thanks!

The previous 68g Springs are under production, If People want 68g I can re-order in Gold Edition.
Oh, I'd probably add some gold 68g springs to my order just for the fun of it.Imma get 120g gold and 65g gold even though I am not using either, but swag.

Oh ok. So the previous springs were not the gold version? Ok...
Will my new order of springs and stabs be shipped with my original order? Thx...
Are all the springs going to be gold plated, including the first order? o_o
If I order more springs and stabs, they will be shipped with my original order. Yes???
If I order more springs and stabs, they will be shipped with my original order. Yes???
Just reiterating for those who haven't submitted another order due to new options on the new order form, sprit mentioned in another post that he was planning on just asking about stabs ("and other stuff") on the shipping invoice. I would just wait for that if you need stabs. In your case since you already submitted another order it's a bit more confusing; on the other hand, I'm not really sure how he has been keeping track of the 10 million order submissions some people have been submitting so maybe cancelling an order/combining orders would just be another drop in the bucket :)

I already paid for my first order, so he will have to invoice me for these additions separately.
Are all the springs going to be gold plated, including the first order? o_o
Yes! :) for the MOQ, the first Order will be Gold plated too. (No Extra charge)
The Gold Spring will show soon !
Hey are the custom springs gold?
The Custom Springs are Very Cherry Original Like, Not a Pointless Korean gold!
Thanks for the clarification! ;D :thumb: Thanks for also making all the previous orders gold plated for no extra charge as well, Sprit!
I dug up this post. Found it pretty funny :p I wonder what changed your mind?
So you think you can ship bepfore 30th? :S
PCBs to the final production (ANSI+ISO, 1.6T, Full LED+HW Macro)
The Fuctionality and QC Inspection done. Samples soldered and Tested, the latest firmware OK!
(I will Show the LED effects Tomorrow.)
Still Needs to go to the Parts Soldering stage, then Firmware Install, and The final check.

Sprit? I out in an order for stabalizers, can you confirm that I did plate mount?
It's in the OP!

I'd like to order some springs and stabilizers as well but I can't find the form :/
Can you link it here ? thanks :D
Sprit,
I have received and paid my invoice, but I'd like to buy some stabilizers and LEDs.
Should I submit another order, or should a send a PM with the details?
Sorry, I missed the stabs when ordering previously.
Thanks!
Submit another order with all your details. Put in the notes section that you'd like it to be shipped with your other order. including the previous invoice number would probably help
I will just add my 68g and 120g springs as well as my stabilizers to my shipping invoice.
I just finished all my preparations for this board, I can't wait :DShow Image(http://i.imgur.com/21BiyVX.jpg)

It's fun to bulid something ! Really Thanks for You!
I am getting each Parts in my hand Now. The Stabilizers, SWs and Springs will come to me soon.
Every Parts will be Cheked, Tested, and Packed.
Every Order will be Checked again, Packed, Shipped and Tracking No. emailed, one by one!
Sorry again for the Paypal Renew Setup Delay! Anyway I am getting almost Ready to Start Shipping.
The Metal Case Samples are under machining, Sorry fot it took a long time to adjust details.
The Metal Cases Will be different, I hope, in many ways.
The Model 1 Alps Projects are undergoing, as I told on the 1st page, sampling the SWs in Taiwanese Factories.
60%, 87%, 110% Alps PCBs + Metal Plates + Stabilizers + SWs + Basic Keycaps will be prepared!
The Alps Cases are same as any Cherry MX 60% 87% 110% Cases!
AT/XT style 84 key layout Project is cruizing under the surface. (60%+24 Num Pad+)
I love You Guys! for Having Fun with You ! :)

Awesome stuff Sprit! I'm assuming for those that did not get an invoice for the stabilizers yet, we'll get it along with the shipping invoice?
The Shipping will take 3 Weeks, I guess, I am terribly sorry for this! :( [/color]
Hi! Mr. Bueller! :)The (*whole) Shipping process will take 3 Weeks, I guess, I am terribly sorry for this! :(

Sent and additional order for stabs :)
Sprit, should I expect an additional invoice or will you collate the stabs w/ the shipping invoice ?
I'm a bit concerned with import charges to the UK. It would cost me quite a bit if so.
Can this PCB fit inside a Filco case? I was just curious since the PCB will have a detachable cable and the Filco does not (In the traditional sense) so was wondering how that would work.
Also, this board is Cherry stabs only right?
Is there going to be a second GB for these? I couldn't really get in around Christmas, but I can now and I'm really wanting a 75% white acrylic case...

Sprit i will like to ask how much will it cost to buy a 60% with white pcb and in a white case i will like it to be mx clears oh and for them to be plate mounted ?
Oh snap. I see that ALPS PCB is on the way? CAN IT BE TRUE? :D
Sprit, when ALPS PCB is open, will I still be able to get another acryl case to go with it? Is it 87-key layout?
Thanks!
Hey sprit, I've add some springs to my cherry mx stabs order earlier. Just so you know before you'll send me the invoice.
Thanks again :)
Is the PCB the same? So the same one PCB supports both MX and Alps, is that correct?
In the order form all I see is 60% 75% etc PCB,, no option to specify alps or mx
Thanks! cookiesowns! :)Read the Thread.
I guess I need to wait to organinze all and put into the Shipping Invoices! :(
Originally, My GB was just for PCBs, Plates, and Cases only. But All the Parts comes in and become a bigger GB. :)
But Basically I understand We need this all, I am trying on. The *Whole Shipping process will take 3 Weeks, I guess, I am terribly sorry for this! :(
My Friends! I really Thanks for Your Supports for This GB Happen! :thumb:

How much is the shipping anyway? I ordered the new a.87, and some #gold springs. I'm pretty bored.
Do I need stabilizers for a 60% board?
@spirit I just posted a wierd order request to add stabilizers to my order.
Am i doing it right? :p
Hi Sprit, Ordered a 87% two weeks ago- kindly check if you have recieved and if I have done the ordering right ;D
Someone of you guys got an invoice in the last view days (I ordered on the 27.)I sent Invoices For You ! Mr. distel! :)
Hey Sprit, I ordered a pcb and leds but since then you added some stabilizers. If I want some is it best to make a new form or pm you?
Hi Sprit,
I PM'd you about a week ago about in regards to adding some stabilizers to my order. Did you get it or should I go ahead and place an order for it?
Thanks.

New Order since Dec.25 should be in the New Order Form. :)
( = You need to send me a New Order Form )
Modifying the Old Order Form is No good for me, as I finished sorting the old forms :)
Just to be clear, if you order pcb/case there are no switches included and I would have to find and solder them myself?even if u order switches from sprit, u still have to solder and assemble it yourself or pay someone to do it for u.

....You are 100% Right! I have never shown the Top layer around Arrow Keys and F1~F12 yet! :)
The TKL case, is it open around the arrow cluster? There dsnt seem to be anything protecting the pcb from the pics in the 1st post :p (sorry if I've missed it if it's been posted elsewhere)
And are there any pics of the sides of the case up close and from behind?
:)

I am hiding that part until the shipping. :) Sorry for my Surprise !!
I'm going to ask the same question as before, as i didn't get an answer, i don't know if you missed it.
But what kind of cases does the 87% fit in? Does it fit the QFR Rapid case or something similar or does it fit yours exclusively?
Is there an option for Cherry MX Clears? If not, how difficult would it be to swap the switches to ergo clears on this keyboard? Would you have to basically take it apart and solder the new switches in?Its even more complicated then that. You'd have to buy clears from somewhere else (like Mechanical Keyboards . com) and buy springs of a lighter value, say 62g springs from Spirit, and when they all are in your possession, dismantle each clear, remove the tiny spring it came with, and put a 62g spring back. Re-mantle the switch, and solder that onto the PCB. Then you'd have ergoclears.
I would call 120g blues cherry mx super blues. Like cherry mx super blacks. :PIs there an option for Cherry MX Clears? If not, how difficult would it be to swap the switches to ergo clears on this keyboard? Would you have to basically take it apart and solder the new switches in?Its even more complicated then that.

Re-mantle the switch, and solder that onto the PCB. Then you'd have ergoclears.
But he does, at least, have the springs to make ergoclears with. Or unergoclears, using 120g springs.
Off topic, but lets say I desolder my all-blue keyboard, and replace the blues' springs with the aforementioned 120g version. Would those be jailhouse blues, or ghetto greens? Is the other one when you take those blue springs and put them under green sliders?
(still eagerly awaiting the release and deployment of the 60% ALPs board, of course.)
Thank You Guys! for the exellent replies! :)
The springs are under production, hope get them soon! and ship! :)
Will the AT/XT style 84 key layout Project there be in the upcoming next GB?Hello! pasph! I wish it come in Feb! :)
Hi, I've been lurking these forums for a bit but I was wondering about the 2nd GB. So by Fully Assembled does this mean that if I'm interested in a keyboard I should check back on that day? I'm really new to all of this and i've just been looking for a keyboard (everything in this thread looks amazing though.)Hello! KaboomTheory :)
Hey Sprit, can you confirm, that order ID 1387 and 1381 are combined as one shipping?Hi! distel ! :)
Spirit how about the PCBs? is it already done?
Still interested in seeing what your metal case design will look like! :thumb:
Hi Sprit, I sent you a second form to order stabs but got no invoice for it.Hello ! Mr. JPG ! :)
Is it normal or not?
Thanks again sprit :DHi Sprit, I sent you a second form to order stabs but got no invoice for it.Hello ! Mr. JPG ! :)

I have been watching the MOQ and QTY for Stabilizers. And I ordered Last week. :)
And I will send The Shipping Invoice with the newly added orders and parts (LEDs, Springs, Stabs..) :)
I have started sending The Shipping Invoices! Really Appreciate For Your Support and Patience!! ;)
Do the plates allow for switch disassembly?Hello! winged mantis! :)
Will the keyboard come fully assembled or will we be putting it together ourselves? I saw Sprit say they do come fully assembled, but some of the others are saying this is not true. Which is it?The first round is just going to be complete PCBs, by that I mean its going to have all the SMD soldering done for you so all you need to do is add the switches and put it in a case. Sprit is going to offer a service for the 2nd round where you can have people assemble it for you, from what I understand.
Also, if you order a TKL, will the top cover be all acrylic/metal, or will it be black plastic like in this picture: http://geekhack.org/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=50580.0;attach=47055;image

Would it be possible to use the full-size case to house a das-keyboard (with usb modification) or fullsize Topre Realforce 104UB or would the PCBs not fit? If so I'd buy 2 of full size metals.
Also, you have fields for metal cases in two of the forms links. Would we need to submit both?
Maybe the numpad can be put on both sides like thisShow Image(http://geekhack.org/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=50580.0;attach=43013;image)

Sprit, you have mentioned that 2nd group buy will be open Jan 17th, but there is a link on OP to an OPEN 2nd order. Do I wait for 17th or order now via that link?
Can anyone summarize what are the pros and cons of not using a plate for a 60%?
When are you shipping the first round of PCB's and plates?Hello Nijadoc ! :)
When will you send invoices for the separate orders for stabilizers and springs? If I had ordered a PCB and case, could you ship everything together? Thanks, sprit.
I think I forgot to specify what kind of stabilizers I wanted on my order form. I wanted plate ones :D
Will Ship the Simple Orders first!
This is just my very personal Opinion :
< Using a Metal Plate for a 60% : Pros and Cons? >
Pros : Solid, Rigid, Stable Key Touch and Slider movement, good for 62g +
Cons : Hard, Stiff, Sometimes painful for the Soft Key Touch Users under 60g.
< Using a Acry Plate for a 60% : Pros and Cons? >
Pros : Solid, Rigid, Stable Key Touch and Slider movement, with Overall Softness. and You can Enjoy the PCB Colors and Better LED effects.
Cons : Thin Acryl may breaks, but Thick Acryl are Solid enough. Weak to the Scratch, Need a Soft brush ro clean.

Looking forward to getting this soon!

Only $50? I live in the US and my shipping is $72...that's like a whole keyboard by itself.
Hey guys, this looks very interesting.
I can't really find the difference between the metal and acrylic cases...
What is the reasoning behind different alu plates (1.6mm vs 4mm)? Also acrylic plate?
I know this question is slightly more obvious but uhh which mx switch has which weighted spring?
Sorry for sounding annoying, but I may want to get this and I have never built my first keyboard yet.
Also, when is the deadline for this? Will there be another round or website where we can order the parts off of?
Looks gorgeous and I don't want to miss this opportunity but I will if it is available later.
So is my shipping also going to cost $72 because I got a 4mm thick plate?No idea of course, but ... that IS a lot of aluminum you're making the carriers lug around all day. As they walk across the ocean from Korea.

Doesn't look too bad. So My order should be around 8-10KG, not bad at all. Sprit again. I really appreciate it if you can get this shipped out before end of this Month. In fact, if you can get the items to me before February 6th, I'll be able to do thorough overview & review, as well as high def pictures that you can use :)

just switches and led that needs to be soldered on.
all pcb already have SMD parts soldered on including diodes and also resistors if i'm not mistaken.
yes u may purchase springs to swap springs on your switches.
hey sprit!Hey! Mr. IMHB! :)
I still haven't got my invoice for the shipping for my PCB+case.....should I be concerned?
Hi, I got the gist of things now but last questions, what is the difference between 1.6mm and 4mm alu plate? Less flex/more rigidity? Since it's taller do we need to do any additional stuff?
Hey spirit can you just confirm that the only things I need to solder myself are switches and LEDs? And that the resistors, diodes and stuff are presoldered?
When it says ANSI+ISO, how do I choose American/ANSI?
The resistors for the LEDs have to be soldered as well.Hi, I got the gist of things now but last questions, what is the difference between 1.6mm and 4mm alu plate? Less flex/more rigidity? Since it's taller do we need to do any additional stuff?

Yes diodes controller as well as bootloader and latest firmware are all pre loaded and soldered. Switches & LED's are the only thing you need.
Difference is in thickness and rigidity on plate, I personally don't know how they feel, but I went with the 4MM plates as I like solidity =) Shouldn't be anything else you need to change.

i'm under the impression that there's resistors pre-soldered on already through early discussion on this thread....but i may be wrong.As one of the lucky few who got test shipments from Sprit, I can tell you that the LEDs come with tiny little SMD resistors.
sprit, i'm sorry if you have to answer this many times, but does your pcb comes presoldered with resistors for the LED or do we have to buy our own resistors?
that great :DYes SIR !! All and All ! SMD parts are Factory pre-soldered ! :D
All SMD parts are factory pre-soldered? all diode + resistor for each sw are soldered?
Diodes need to be soldered for switches in the first batch, just got my 60% from the post office a moment ago.
comes with?
meaning to say that the smd resistors are attached to the led already or packets of smd resistors where you have to solder them yourself?
Diodes need to be soldered for switches in the first batch, just got my 60% from the post office a moment ago.
Diodes need to be soldered for switches in the first batch, just got my 60% from the post office a moment ago.
Is it actually the diodes that need to be soldered on or is it the resistors for the LEDs? It was my understanding that the SMD diodes would be soldered on, but since the required resistors can be different for the different LEDs (color can change the resistor needed), those were not going to be factory soldered. I thought I remember a note about that once. I did not realize the LED resistors were going to be SMD, that was not clear. I was kind of expecting through hole resistors.
If the diodes are soldered that is much better because then the board is just switches away from working (without backlighting). You only need to solder the resistors if you are doing backlighting (which a lot of people want to do with these). It is much more of a pain to have to do SMD work for lots of switches. Haha, glad I didn't buy a full sized. :P
They board supports SMD diodes for the switches but mine wasn't soldered, got a bag of normal diodes with the pcb instead.

Thanks for letting us know. :) Can you post a picture for us so we know what we can expect to have to do?
I love soldering.
just throw me all the components.
but not controller and flashing firmware please :p

I am looking forward to seeing how good I am at hand soldering SMDs. Good thing I got some real small tips and some super sharp tweezers. Lets just hope my eyes are good enough. Haha... :)
Ehh I was just thinking, you know how it says assembled for $45? Could there be an option to solder everything except the switches and LEDs?

Thats what most people thought the default was...
So are both diodes and resistors through hole soldering? Either way I am actually happy about this, more soldering fun for me :D
I have to admit that it does sound a little daunting to solder on 270 smd components for my 60 and 75% boards. I am going to be well practiced when I am finished with these boards. :)You will feel much more accomplishment afterwards though ;)

I think everything is SMD on this, but I could be wrong. Can someone confirm who has received theirs?
I really hope it's easy. I wasn't expecting such an issue to come up when I ordered the PCB. Knowing this ahead of time, I would have probably not ordered. I know I can't be the only one uncomfortable with the additional soldering required.

The Diodes are for Both Hole- and SMD- Soldering, The LED Resistors are for SMD Soldering.
I will provide SMD type. SMD Diodes are Bigger than Resistors.Thanks Sprit. Will you be providing both through hole and SMD diodes as well as resistors? Or just one type of diode?So are both diodes and resistors through hole soldering? Either way I am actually happy about this, more soldering fun for me :D

To be honest had I known I wouldn't have ordered either. It might be easy to solder diodes but it still effectively doubles the amount of soldering I have to do.
That's just the way the cookie crumbles with GB's though, still happy to have my board.

Please be sure to do it in an open ventilated area (soldering so much will have adverse effects), do it outside with a fan?, you are truly a man. The entire time I've been on GH, this is probably the most daunting task I've ever seen someone willing to do.

Regardless of the MOQ failed, I feel the Resposiblity at least for the Diodes! :)Thank you very much for this. I was ready to do it myself, but I wasn't too confident that I wouldn't damage them if I did it.
Thank you once again Sprit for your generosity and hard work! First you pay in advance to keep production running while you were getting things sorted out with Paypal, and now you'll have to go through a couple (hundred?) pcbs with SMD Diodes due to lack of MOQ!
Give this man a round of applause. I really appreciate that you're sticking to your words. Once again, thank you very much! :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:
All the Shipping Invoices will sent by Sunday Evening! :)
My poor eyes don't allow me to do that kind of work and i've asked you more that 1 time if all will come presoldered.
So please answer clearly if my stuff will come all presoldered.
If not i'm ok even to pay a fee for having all assembled but please don't ship something i can't use.
If i have to buy also switches i'll do that.

Question about the 60% firmware.
Does the caps lock LED change colour when I activate it? Assuming I use a multi colour LED.
I really appreciate the work and dedication you are putting into this Sprit. If I had known there are SMD parts to be soldered I would have stayed clear of the GB -- I don't have the tools and the eyesight to do this anymore. I would appreciate it very much if you would put the parts on. Thanks !

If Sprit can't do your board I can as long as you don't mind it going to be California for a bit before heading to its home in the pacific northwest. I'm no super pro but I enjoyed the SMD that I've done.
Invoice Paid. But I noticed that there were no stabilizers on the order. Should I expect them in the 2nd round? I PM'd you and submitted my order for them a bit late...
Also, this question seems to be glanced over a lot...Question about the 60% firmware.

Hi Sprit, On the invoice it's mentions only pcb mount stabilizers because of moq. Will these work at all with a plate? Otherwise i will probably have to wait for gb2 to get the stabilizers sourced for my build.would like to confirm before i pay the invoice, or i will need it changed, with he possibility of my things being held and all sent together if there is not issues.

I sent a new Invoice for the Stabs! :)
The Multi Color LED changes its color itself automatically with time intervals.
The correct item I have to pay under #1443 should be the stabilizers 2 sets $16, shipping $30, Group buy fee $3. Total is $49

AS You know, I was going to apply the Plate Mount Type Stabilizers on Metal Plates.
The Stabilizer Order for Plate Mount was under 60 sets. The Factory MOQ for the plate type MOQ was 1,000sets.
I was expecting to buy at least 500sets from the factory. But had to gave up.
So, I've changed Metal Plate Design to PCB mount type, and Asking People's Decisions.
For the 2nd GB, I am going to order the Plate Mount Type at all, even with my money.
So you've modified the aluminum plate to use PCB mount stabilizers? :o
Guess I should start reading about clipping PCB Stabs...
Yo Sprit, could you give me a shout whether Invoice 1402 is good for shipping of both 0002 and 1404 together or if you're going to send a new invoice to replace 1402?
So you've modified the aluminum plate to use PCB mount stabilizers? :o

Anyway, I will do it for the 2nd GB!

wow,
looking forward to seeing how these pcb-mounted cherry stabs are going to get a hold in a 4mm metal plate. If I remember correctly the distance between those clips going through the pcb and the actual bottom of the stab is far less than 4mm. I wonder if you had to drill those plates from the bottom... really interesting.
Anyways just paid the latest invoice... and don't bother with the soldering Sprit, looking forward to doing this myself.
And thanks again for this amazing GB.
Sprit, could you invoice me by today and ship within this week ?hello sprit,
Chinese New Year is coming. I wish to receive before 1st Feb.
Btw, do you provide led resistors + normal diodes in the 1st pcb gb?

any pics of the TLK front plate yet? ??? ? >.<Hello! balddye! :)
Hi sprit, what's the difference between the pcb mount and plate mount stabilizer? Is there a way change in feel of the switch? What's the advantage and disadvantage? Sorry, I try to search for an answer but I can't find a reliable one.
Thanks, also pm sent.

Hah, I was after the same thing, and ended up pulling the dimensions of the 110% from teh DWG on winkeyless.kr's 'site. It should be similar.Yes! You are Right! :)
The numbers I got were 428.625mm * 122.7895mm, which should be about right.
I plan on screwing mine to a chunk of metal, and it looks like 0.25*5" round edge stock is about perfect. Getting it cut to 17" is pretty cheap online (http://www.onlinemetals.com/merchant.cfm?pid=18148&step=4&showunits=inches&id=1282&top_cat=60) and should weigh about 1Kg. I'll drill and tap through holes, bolt the PCB on and call it a kb case.

Hello! GeorgreK ! :)
60% PCB is 285mm x 92mm
75% PCB is 307mm x 117mm
87% PCB is 348mm x 123mm
110% PCB is 428mm x 123mm
So I see that cases are now included together with all the other components in the order form. Does that mean that we need to use that form even if we just want to order the cases? What happened to the MOQ forms for the metal cases?
Thanks for the work Sprit! I cant wait for the PCBs to arrive :thumb:

Trying to Overcome The Obstacles and Delays!!
sheet of plastic voltage protection material as well as some foam I get at the art store. I have a Pure that uses this style of case that I have used for a year I guess with no issues.

Is there a difference in feel between the two? Stainless looks shiny while Cherry original has a dull, typical tin look to it :pI suspect there will be no difference in feel. As such, I prefer typeB 'cause it looks cooler. Still, I don't think I ordered any, so I'll just use the ones I have here.
I think Stainless steel stabilizers would feel smoother due to the slippier and shinier material regardless of lube. Am I wrong to assume so?

Why not gold plated stabilizers? :eek:
And regarding stabilizer bars, i didn't notice the difference in spacebar bar design while viewing the thread on my phone. What's the extra indent on the Cherry spacebar stabilizers for? Or is that how 7x units look? :confused:
Sprit I've been sending you multiple PMs with the same question over the past 2 weeks now and still no response...please respond, I am getting nervous...
Hey Sprit or anyone who knows the answer,
How does one go about setting up the layout of the board? I know firmware is pre-installed, but do I need to download something else to alter the layout? Assuming I don't mess up the diodes, I'd like to do a 1+1 backspace and 1.75+1 shift.
Also, any tips for soldering diodes? :p My soldering experiencing is limited to through hole LEDs and switches. Through hole diodes would work with this board, right?

Could someone help me out a bit? I am fairly new to the community and I would really like to order one of these, but the problem is I have no idea what most of the stuff on here even is. I want to order a tenkeyless board here with an aluminum case. I was wondering if someone could walk me through the groupbuy page.
You have to start somewhere, right?
Sprit,
So are these boards pre soldered and all we have to is solder the LED and switches? I am confused.

I bought this from someone else. It was one of the first to go out and does not have diodes or resistors soldered. Still looking for an answer to my question!
Interesting. I was in the first bunch of orders, my PM's aren't answered, and I have no idea exactly what I will receive and when I will receive it.
Still trying to see exactly how we program this thing once it is put together. Haven't gotten any answers to PMs, and have been trying to scour the thread without much luck. Anyone have the answer?
If this (http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwinkeyless.kr%2F17) is the main firmware site, this (http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwinkeyless.kr%2F18) may help.

Do you guys need to press the FN key to use the macro or the macro can be assigned to any key on the normal layout?

Is there a cheaper method of shipping 2 little bags of springs? By Letter Air Mail instead of EMS ($25)?

Thanks Zeal for your offer, but I'm in Toronto as with tjweir so I'll merge with his order. I'd prefer regular mail as it's only couple dollars.
Ask sprit to merge our orders and then we can sort out local Toronto delivery.

Hey all, I'm new to all this and bought a PCB from someone in the groupbuy. Curious as to what diodes and resistors I would need to purchase to make this work. I've practiced some soldering and am eager to continue learning with this project!

As I PMed yesterday, the PCB is very early shipped with Diodes (unsoldered).
You need solder the diodes. Sorry for that! :)
I tried to contact sprit but i am not getting any answers.
I am wondering if for the second round, is the smd and the diodes going to be soldered? I assume you can ask him to do them?
Also as said above, what does the metal cases look like (final product)
Thanks!
For the 2nd GB Batch, I am going to Produce Each 100pcs of Factory-Presoldered 60%, 87% PCB.
75% and 110% PCB are to be Hand-Soldered.
What does the metal cases look like (final product)
Thanks!
Isn't this the metal case? http://geekhack.org/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=50580.0;attach=46126;imageSprit will have two designs. One being all metal, and that one you linked as a layered metal/plastic design.

I'm confused with all the threads you have right now :) does this pcb already support ALPS now or only in a later stage?
any updates Sprit? ;D
^thisany updates Sprit? ;D
Would like an update also, been invoiced (paid) for shipping some time ago and no more information since.
For this GB do we fill out the form and then we are invoiced...? The invoice isn't committing to the purchase - I wan't to find out how much it will cost to get some bits and pieces. Basically I already have switches but need other stuff. I can't find any pricing info for the individual parts.
Secondly, are orders all shipped at once or there are a constant stream of orders being churned out? If I order some pieces this afternoon (don't need full assembly) when is the next shipment? I am based in the UK. Thank you
anyone receive anything yet?

Give him time! He's most likely sorting through stuff now. I've bought quite a large order too, and I'm usually very inpatient.
I just sure hope that the diodes are presoldered though.

update on status is in need :P
Yeah Sprit is not responding to my PMs...considering I spent over $400 on this groupbuy I don't think it would be unreasonable to request some pictures of at least some of the parts going into my board...Chill... He is busy, I would put money on the fact that he is very busy. We have seen pictures of the pcbs, and all the little parts like switches, leds, springs, resistors, stabilizers. It was just a holiday and he is working on getting everything done on top of that...
Has Sprit done any other groupbuys here or anywhere else? We've been getting a deluge of scammers on geekhack and I don't want to have to deal with another one...
All Parts took so much time than my expectations. Not happy with this. :(Well this wasn't really a simple group buy by any means, so many parts, lots to do.
sweet! I cant wait to try out some #goldsprings. These were priced so well, my only regret was not getting more for my other keyboards.I got 3 sets for myself, 1 for someone else and I still think I should have bought more :P
Cant wait!
Can I still order some of those gold springs? Do I have to order anything else with them or can I just get the springs? I was thinking of getting bags 62g, 65g, and 68g springs.
Could someone fill me in on the status of the ALPS PCBs? Information seems to be spread across a number of threads and I'm having trouble getting a consistent picture if the situation.

Sprit was working on them full steam ahead in October and November but I think he's been overwhelmed with the expanding scope of this first round (first adding springs and stabs, then the loss of factory SMD) as well as life happenings. I doubt he's lost enthusiasm for the project but he's probably focusing on shipping out round 1 for his own sanity. Needless to say I'm excited about SPRIT's Alps boards but will wait patiently for them until this buy is taken care of.
Any updates?
Sprit you're a champ. I sent you a question via PM a few weeks back. I'm sure you're super busy. Would it be helpful for you if I re-sent it or sent you my skype info?
I'll volunteer to accept extra "defective" gold springs :p
Double 18K Gold-Plated - Sorry for the delay Again!
Hello Guys! I was not 100% happy with the Product Quality I got 14th Feb.
I had to add more gold Plate to it, got it again Yesterday, and Quite Satisfied Now. ;)
Terribly Sorry for the Delay Again !! :( I feel So Guilty ! :'( I was in my business trip this week.
(All The Factories have been busy since December, X-mas, New Year, Lunar New Year... and My Resampling Requests.. :( )
I have 12 kinds Now : 50g / 55g / 60g / 62g / 65g / 68g / 70g / 75g / 80g / 85g / 100g / 120g

Any news on the acrylic cases, Sprit? I know you've been busy, just have all the pieces to my new board and really looking forward to putting it together.^an update on this would be great. All I ordered was acrylic cases :D
Cher :thumb:
Can we still buy springs if we didn't participate initially?
nice pics!
regret i didn't pick white pcb :p
sprit, the 87 case will have a H bar top layer?

87% has H bar at F1~F12. The Shape is same as others.
May I send You White PCB for Your 60% ?
60% pcb? that's not my order.
i ordered blue 87 pcb and black 87 pcb...please don't change my order ???
Those cases look great, though I'm still not 100% sure what a TKL case looks like lol! Maybe I've missed something but the only one I've seen that looks like a TKL dsnt have any covering over the spaces between the arrow cluster and the pg up pg dw cluster :S

Sprit said he's still working on them.
I really wish he got things down before offering the GroupBuy, as not only would that make sure I get the perfect selection, it almost might have meant I would have bought more stuff from him!
It's all adding up, he really needs to start a wallet hack list for all of us bahaha.

Ugh,:)
Wish I gone for a set of full clear-clear-clear setup. It looks to me like the middle and top layers are interchangeable, if this is the case, then woot! More customization combos.
If not, well boo :(
Sprit will you continue producing the cases even after the group buy is over? Or will this become like a collectable and people can start trading keyboard cases ( lol )
IF it's interchangeable then I'll want a full 87% clear-clear-clear acrylic case!

Interchangeable Between top and top, Middle-middle, Bottom-Bottom. (Because of the USB connector port)
The middle and top layers are NOT interchangeable,
You can Order the Extra Top, Middle Layers.
Ask sprit to merge our orders and then we can sort out local Toronto delivery.
Mind if I join in as well? I'm about an hours drive from toronto, so shipping for two packs of springs shouldn't be much.
:O looks awesome!Hi! Baldgye ;)

MX Clear SWs have been discontinued by Cherry early last Year.
Some maybe available in some shops, I guess.
I got very few sets now.
Ok, so I have a dumb question. Is the H bar the part that covers up the bare PCB? Can this be added if the switches are already soldered on? I'd really like a frosted or white 87% one if that's the case.
I'm dropping in a Ducky Shine 3 TKL into my Acrylic case and was just going to deal with the bare black showing.

The Springs Compared
Basically I follow the Cherry Original Specs and GeekHack Standards. ;)
But As we know, Cherry Originals are quite different in length and turns, even in same switches.
So I have compared All the samples I got, and compared with my References.
For my 50g ~70g version, I added a initial soft Touch. (starts a little softer than others)
My 50g is a little bit lighter than MX Red
My 55g is similar to MX Red, Brown, Blue
My 60g is similar to some Vintage MX Blue and some Blue
My 62g is similar to MX White Click
My 65g is similar to MX Skyblue Click
My 68g is similar to some Vintage MX Black
My 70g is similar to some MX Green
My 75g - 80g is similar to MX Black
My 85g is similar to MX Clear
My 100g is similar to MX Grey Nonclick in MX Clear Keyboards.
My 120g is super-heavy.
Hey RSSonic92,Thank you very much!
To build a 75% board I think you'd need the following:
Has anyone had anything shipped to them?
Has anyone had anything shipped to them?
Only a few that requested PCBs without SMD components pre-soldered.
Sprit PMed me on the 3rd March telling me that my order of PCB, Switches, LEDs and Plate would most likely be shipped next week. Have faith people :cool:
Hi Sprit,
MX Clear is a option?
If yes, I would like to switch from MX Brown to Clear and edit my order!
Plesse confirm :)
Edit: Updated my order to say that I would prefer MX Clear over MX Brown.
I would still like to be notified if MX Clear is possible or not, please, so I can edit my order to be less confusing for you guys.

Noob with a question here.
So I just want a new case for my KBT Pure. Can I order just the acrylic 60% case for 70 bucks? And that price includes shipping?
Also, I was a bit confused by the OP. Will the acrylic sheets be bolted together with visible bolts or are they glued together?
Oh and I can just drop in the PCB as it is with switches and all right? No need to desolder and resolder?
Thankss

There were rumors about some proxying to reduce shipping costs, but not a lot of transparency. He did say explicitly that if the original invoice was inaccurate (e.g. if proxying happens and everyone's shipping is cheaper or EMS changes their pricing), he'd invoice again (or refund).
Sprit, I pm'ed you about my order a week or so ago. Should I send you another?
Hi sprit,
That case looks awesome, now that is one more way to hack my wallet. But you have to know that the success of that case depends on the success and result of the first round gb. I notice you are avoiding the status update of the shipping. You mention that shipping will be restarted this week but it is weekend now and there is still no word about it, except for the case. Please let us know the ETA of the shipment and not just promises. As far as I know, the only thing that would delay the shipping is smd soldering and the springs but I think the spring issue has been settled last week. Does the pcb still on soldering processes? An update about this would highly be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jorge
Can you mix an ISO and ANSI layout on this PCB? EG if I wanted the ANSI return but the shorter shift and additional key would it be possible to do so on one board?
Also if I were to order a PCB now, how long would it take before it is shipped?
I am doing restart shipping for the 1st Round at this moment, ;) so, if You order now, You need wait for the the MOQ.
Sprit do you mind checking your PMs from me =P I sent you two PMs regarding my order

It looks like it'll be some time before you have my order ready to ship, which is fine. However, I'm moving (again) and need to change my address. I'll send it to you over PM but just pinging you in the thread to increase chances that you see it
Hi sprit,Hi! Zeal! :)
Since there weren't a lot of metal plates made, what colour did you go with?
Hey, is it possible to buy springs alone? :)
Did anyone see which acrylic colors made MOQ? sprit mentioned in a PM that one of my colors didn't reach MOQ but I don't know which one failed to meet MOQ nor which colors made it through production (other than clear which he mentioned explicitly).

Okay! I've had some success with hardware key remapping of Sprit's FaceW 60% PCB. I haven't managed to reflash the firmware though, which means that certain clever stuff like arbitrary function layers and dual-action keys aren't possible (I don't think), but this is a huge step up from not being able to to type a backtick yesterday.
The following technique is taken from this page (http://winkeyless.kr/46). It uses a plain-text buffer as a primitive command prompt.
Steps to remap keys at the hardware level on a FaceW PCB:
Step 0. Unplug the USB cable from keyboard you're remapping to your computer.
Step 1. Open Notepad (Windows) or TextEdit (OS X, click "New Document").
Step 2. On the keyboard you're remapping, hold down M and plug the USB cable back in. The following should be printed in your text buffer:Code: [Select]ps2avrU
select mode
1:Key Mapping
2:Macro
3:Exit
4:boot mapper
Input Command Number:
Step 3. We're only going to be dealing with Key Mapping (the only thing I've figured out), so enter the code for Key Mapping. (In my case, this was 1, but the site occasionally shows different numbers, so YMMV.) Something like the following will be displayed:Code: [Select]Key Mapper
1: Change Layer
2: Select Key - input keycode
3: Save and Exit
4: Exit without Saving
6: Back
9: Reset to Default (Current Layer)
>>
A quick run down of the important options: 1 will change the function layer you're mapping (the default is the normal layer) and 2 will allow you to remap a key in your current layer. The rest are self-explanatory.
Step 4. Let's remap a key (CapsLock to L-Ctrl). Enter 2 and you'll be prompted to press the key you want to remap. Press CapsLock. You'll then be prompted to enter the 3-digit key code you want to remap it to. Using this spreadsheet (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ah1Lcjc-gPfndGRJN1JGVUFuOGxkQnVwdm9OLVZYb2c&usp=sharing#gid=0), identify the correct 3-digit code. In our case, L-Ctrl is 103.
Step 5. You're now back in the menu from Step 3. Enter 3 to Save and Exit.
Step 6. Unplug your keyboard, plug it back it, and verify that the remapping was successful.
If you learn more about this process, please let me know and I'll add it to this post. Thanks!
Hi Sprit!
I'm looking forward to your hardware remapping guide. In the meantime, I've written up a guide (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=40501.msg1229605#msg1229605) that works on OS X and should work on Linux as well – I was having trouble getting the Windows tooling to work.

Step 4. Let's remap a key (CapsLock to L-Ctrl). Enter 2 and you'll be prompted to press the key you want to remap. Press CapsLock. You'll then be prompted to enter the 3-digit key code you want to remap it to. Using this spreadsheet (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ah1Lcjc-gPfndGRJN1JGVUFuOGxkQnVwdm9OLVZYb2c&usp=sharing#gid=0), identify the correct 3-digit code. In our case, L-Ctrl is 103.
Step 5. You're now back in the menu from Step 3. Enter 3 to Save and Exit.
Step 6. Unplug your keyboard, plug it back it, and verify that the remapping was successful.
If you learn more about this process, please let me know and I'll add it to this post. Thanks!
Good work btw... :)

Thanks, swill :). Also, good to see you on here – you've been away for a while!
Does anyone know of a tentative end to this group buy? I keep putting it off to buy other things, but don't want to miss out.
Sprit, the "High bright LEDs" is white color only, correct?Hello! Vintage! ;)
Metal cases look sweet btw. :thumb:
I have filled the form for the 2nd wave a couple days ago but haven't received anything in my mailbox yet - is it normal?

The 2nd round Order is on going Now, gethering the MOQs. ;)
The 1st round Orders are being prepared to ship... Too many things to check and pack into each order, :(
The PCBs are still being soldered for the Diodes (and Some resistors for LED oreders) ;)

Will there be a round 3?
Can I place my order in april?
To build a board you'd need the following:
1x X% PCB $50 or $55
1x 90 MX Switches $45
1x Cherry Stabilizers Xpcs $10ish
1x X% Acryl Case $80ish
1x Assembly service $45
Obviously the only other things you'd need are keycaps and a suitable USB cable.
Total cost: $230 or similar depending on configuration
I'm after an assembled 60% board, too. (My Pure--for some reason less loved than Poker--is pretty close to perfection as it is, but this board really goes the extra mile all around.) I don't know how many Cherry stabilizers to order, though, and Sprit's order form says they're currently out of stock. Assuming GB2 hasn't sailed yet, should I order without stabilizers? Order with a note to assemble the board after stabilizers are available? Try to install stabilizers myself?from what I gather the stabilizers are plate mount, and thus need to be put in at the same time as switches or else won't fit, so yeah I guess your best bet is hanging on for stabilizers or ordered stabilizers and keyboard bits and get someone local to assemble!
I'm unsure where you're located, but I'm pretty sure there're some US suppliers who have Cherry Stabs in stock, but don't hold me to that!

Not with spacebar wires, not in stock :(
The Stabilzers are Not easy to get. for Cherry, and Alps. :(
I am considering to create a GB for them...

It's going to be great to see what you all can come up with using these cool colours.
The 60 pcb with blue plate looks good ;)
These look so fantastic Sprit! I wish I could join in on this one. :(
Wow, great job Sprit. Looks better and better every time I look at this thread.
Just two questions:
- The acrylic plates are available in any color, not just clear?
- Do the plates allow modding without desoldering?
Thanks :)
87% Case : Clear - Clear - Clear

I thought the resistors come preinstalled on the pcb.
Is this true for an unassembled order?
From a PM.
Me: "Yes I know, but resistors will be pre-soldered on right? "
Sprit: "Yes! I will do Factory Auto-soldering anyway!"

Thank you sir!
Does anyone know if and when sprit will include stabilizers?for round 1 or 2?
What value resistors come pre-soldered on the PCB? What forward voltages do they work well with?I think you'll only get resistors if you also ordered LEDs. If you ordered LEDs they will be specific to the colour of LED you ordered!

Wanted to ask this question also. Wanted to make sure all I need to do is mount the plate and solder in switches when I get my PCB.

We are almost there for the Round 1 shipping, But as I posted, PCB soldering remains, Each inspection, final check, Packing, check for the each Person's order, etc... take much longer time than expected. I am sending simple parts orders, but even packing into boxes take quite efforts for me.

Yes. I am doing this to try to take some pressure off Sprit. I need the soldering practice. :) Do be aware though that the diodes are SMD, so you need to be reasonably comfortable with a soldering iron.

You only need one. SMD diode OR Through hole diode.
Is a pcb-mount or plate-mount stabilizer better?
Does a pcb-mount stabilizer still work with a plate installed?

1. Completely depends on personal preference. Both are good IMO.
2. It depends on whether the plate supports PCB mount stab. Plate for customized keyboard usually support PCB mount stab.

This New Version of ANSI + ISO 75% support ALL Type! That's Why They are developed for GH.
Model 1 60% 75% 87% 110% PCBs support win /winkeyless, Cherry / Filco / Ducky ... bottom layouts,
as in the 1st Page (OP), or http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=50580.msg1179292#msg1179292 (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=50580.msg1179292#msg1179292)
My very personal Taste is :
I hate popular flat thin Alu custom plates for too noisy,
love side bent Alu and Steel plates for less noise and stability,
may like thin Acryl plates for less noisy and softer - than thin Alu ones,
love thick Acryl plates for softness and certain stability.

Sprit, will the metal cases be available with winkeyless top covers? ie:Show Image(http://dangwang.files.wordpress.com/2013/02/img_0486.jpg)
Hello Guys! :)
I am learning again : All parts need human efforts to sort, count, inspect, return, order again, pack, lable...
Ready made parts are better : SWs, LEDs, Resistors... but need same procedure to pack into a each set.
Custom made Parts are monsters : lots of manufacturing bugs, material issues... Much more efforts to Control Qualities. ;)
Have a Nice Weekend! ;)
Really agree of how much has sprit put more than he could to this GB,
This was the result when I try to dig deeper from the package sent to me,Show Image(https://z-n.ak.fbcdn.net/sphotos-c.ak/hphotos-ak-ash3/t1.0-9/10169294_10202130838856659_597361292_n.jpg)
The box was huge but was too light. After opening the box, there is a smaller box inside it and I was like, "hey is it a joke? a puzzle? or a prank? Boxception? Sprit is there any end of it?." In the smaller box there located the treasure behold, stabs lubes and switches has different box, the pcb is fully wrapped with bubble wrap. I have to fight the jungle of bubble wrap and alas!!!Show Image(https://z-n.ak.fbcdn.net/z-1-scontent-b.xx/hphotos-frc3/t1.0-9/10153819_10202130838896660_1407905012_n.jpg)
I tried to count the springs but stop after the count of 8, haha, how much more of an order of more than 100.
After the unboxing, it made me realize how much sprit give his all to this gb.
Thank you so much sprit. More power to you.

He is smd soldering a bunch of the boards because the moq was not hit for it to be done by the factory. I am sure that is much more daunting than originally anticipated.
Just to double check, if we ordered springs with our initial order, those are still coming then, right? I know I was invoiced for them and paid, they're just waiting to ship with the PCB, correct?
Hello! Dear Keymaster! ;)
Yes! You are right! ;) I had expected the separate spring GB should have a small effect on the PCB + Case + ..shipment, but had more.
The reason Why I had decided that separate GB and The Results are ;
- In the 1st GB, quite a lot of people ordered only springs (and small parts), the EMS shipping cost were too much, I needed a Solution.
- The production MOQ for the springs were much higher than the real sum of 1st orders, this separate GB had filled the gaps.
- I have a really good chance for the full inspection, and found lots of defective ones I did not noticed, selected them out.
- But the orders for this separate GB were more than expected, Yes, it has delayed the PCB shipping to a certain degree.
- So I have closed it and will not run again for a while.
Really Sorry for this !!! :( :)
does the plate or pcb come with stabs, because I never saw an option on the order form in the first round.

Is there a 75%?
I don't know if this has already been asked but would the 60% pcb and and plate fit into any other cases such as a poker one?
I don't know if this has already been asked but would the 60% pcb and and plate fit into any other cases such as a poker one?
Yes, sprit's pcb and plate fits in poker style cases.
Does anyone know if the pcb fits into any other cases? Shipping is gonna cost me an arm and a leg if I have to buy a case from sprit.
Hi Sprit hope things are going well.
I still want to order a keyboard from you.
I've just been buying so many other things.
Can anyone tell me if stabs/springs/switches and everything is available so I can buy a complete board? Or how long it will be sold out for?
Thanks in advance.

What size PCB? The 60% fits Poker / GH60 cases and I think the tenkeyless fits Filcos but I'm not completely sure. That part of the thread was like October ago. Heh.
So for these plates, acrylic, 1.6 mm, and 4 mm will they allow for switch removal without desoldering?I'm not sure about the 1.5, but I think the 4mm aluminum is too deep to remove switchtops -- they're completely buried in there. And yes, as has been discussed, it's HEAVY and also stiff -- this has ramifications that entice some, and repulse others.
Also what is the benefit of the 4 mm plate over the 1.6 mm one? Does it just feel more solid?

So are there just stock switches [red/blue/brown/black] and no different weight springs? We get plate mount stabilizers? Are they Cherry or Costar? I don't know much about stabilizers. Thanks for your time.

Does the plate allow for switch removal without desoldering? Could I use another 60% plate with this PCB?According to pictures sprit has provided it looks like its switch removable. You should also be able to use another plate for the 60% such as a beast plate! Just remember if you use leds in your switches you cant remove them either way.

Firstly, yes the acrylic plate seems to support it, I was just wondering about the aluminum ones, I should have been more clear.
Second on the topic of LEDs, I was under the impression that through the magic of modification, you could mod switches to allow for LEDs and removal, by removing the LED ring thingy. As shown in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEAzBbVU-yE (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEAzBbVU-yE)
Third, what are SIP headers and how do they relate to this? Please enlighten me, I am new to this. (Yes I googled it, nothing helpful)

Unless you use SIP sockets, which I will be using on this board and would recommend.
Of course not all sip sockets are made to fit keyboards but many do like these ones: http://www.ebay.com/itm/3Pcs-Single-Row-40Pin-2-54mm-Round-Female-Pin-Header/140910386490?_trksid=p2052191.m2067&_trkparms=aid%3D555003%26algo%3DPW.CAT%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D23%26meid%3D3295674393841359663%26pid%3D100028%26prg%3D1009%26rk%3D4%26rkt%3D15%26sd%3D221186042943%26 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/3Pcs-Single-Row-40Pin-2-54mm-Round-Female-Pin-Header/140910386490?_trksid=p2052191.m2067&_trkparms=aid%3D555003%26algo%3DPW.CAT%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D23%26meid%3D3295674393841359663%26pid%3D100028%26prg%3D1009%26rk%3D4%26rkt%3D15%26sd%3D221186042943%26) They are confirmed to work!Does the plate allow for switch removal without desoldering?

Wow... never knew you could do that. Will have to look into that xD
I do try fn+caps / esc+caps according to faceu guide but it seems that it is not working on facew. Anyone could tell me which keys to trigger the led mode? ThanksHi! Lotus! ;) Please,

- Check the positive legs of LEDs You got. it's usually the longer one.
- FN + Caps should work as You know
if I source my own switches and stabilizers for this, do I need PCB mount, plate mount, or either?

Does anyone know when Round 2 orders will end?Yes it does fit!
And just to double check, will the 60% PCB/metal plate fit a case made for the Poker II? (I read that it does for round 1, but I'm not sure if any changes have been made since then).
I just had another thought - does the teensy alignment on the PCB line up with the hole on the Poker II case? And what kind of teensy should I order for this anyways for that matter? (Model number)Does anyone know when Round 2 orders will end?Yes it does fit!

Oh. So then all I would have to do is
1. solder in diodes
2. put a few switches in the plate and solder those to the pcb
3. put rest of switches in, soldering as a go
and if I wanted to make the whole keyboard backlit, I would solder switches in first, and then the LEDs?

Because... I'm dumb? Because that's the order I usually do it. And after a second thought I realize the resistors are on the back of PCB and there's nothing to prevent you from soldering resistors even if you have plate and switches in place. My bad.

Quite a while. Sprit and his friends are handling this gigantic GB. Sorting, packing & soldering up diodes/resistors on PCBs take A LOT of time.
Most people are still waiting for their first round of orders.

Haha, hopefully not! Second round PCBs are supposedly factory pre-soldered, so it should help speed things up.

Round 2 will be. Round 1 was supposed to be but didn't meet MOQ for factory soldering so Sprit and his team are doing the SMD soldering by hand. That's part of the reason round 1 has stretched so long.

Hey, looking to place an order for a board if I'm not too late. Are the cherry stabs and springs ever going to be back in stock? If not, if I place an order will the board just not have any stabs?Pm him would be the best I think!
Hi guys! Is it a good idea to match a Sprit Model 1 case (87 %) with the inner parts of my Filco Majestouch 2 TKL? I mean, does everything fit perfectly together, particularly the USB cable?
nope. a87 layout doesn't fit costar tenkeyless.Thanks blighty. But doesn’t it say "Topic: SPRIT Model 1 Case : Poker 60% 75% 87% 110% + Ducky, Filco, Leopold (Read 14759 times) "? So I misunderstood that it is compatible with my Filco?
Maybe? But We haven't seen anything outside of the 60% stuff. I'd wait until things have been officially announced/pics shown. There's supposed to be alps compatibility at some point too. sprit's a busy guy, so who knows when all the aspects of this buy will see light...Quotenope. a87 layout doesn't fit costar tenkeyless.Thanks blighty.

I'd wait until things have been officially announced/pics shownAlright. What most amazes me are the possible LED effects. There is this one video of SPRIT where he’s typing in the dark, and on each stroke all LEDs flash up yellow. Forgot where it was, does someone have the link?

Is it just me or does it look like you can make a "true-er" hhkb layout with this 6x spacebar support?
Somebody tell me when 75% metal case comes out so I can get that for an end gameOh! You are a 75% Lover! ;)
Sorry if this is a newb question, but how much would this be for a fully assembled 87% with clears?I don't think sprit is doing assembly apart from the SMD work

Kind of similar, but looks a lot cooler IMO because its on the underside and the acrylic does a nice job of dispersing the lot.

I got very few sets of the Clear SWs, need to find a way for the Next.
The GB Round 2 is waiting for the MOQ now, Not Invoiced yet. It will be much more organized. I will post When it is ready to kick off ! ;)

Thanks for getting back to me man. Yeah, I am filling out the 2nd order sheet.
Since you have clears I will put that in the switch option. As for the multi-color LED, do I choose what keys the multi color LEDs will go on? Or is that for the full board? Also, will I have the ability to change the color via keyboard or software?
One last question. I would like this affect as a programmable option: feature=player_embedded
Does this just happen when choosing transparent as the bottom piece of the Acrylic case?

Auto color changing 7 multicolor LEDs are as in the http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=50580.msg1327803#msg1327803 (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=50580.msg1327803#msg1327803)
I got very few sets of the Clear SWs, need to find a way for the Next.
The GB Round 2 is waiting for the MOQ now, Not Invoiced yet. It will be much more organized. I will post When it is ready to kick off ! ;)
Thanks for getting back to me man. Yeah, I am filling out the 2nd order sheet.
Since you have clears I will put that in the switch option. As for the multi-color LED, do I choose what keys the multi color LEDs will go on? Or is that for the full board? Also, will I have the ability to change the color via keyboard or software?
One last question. I would like this affect as a programmable option: feature=player_embedded
Does this just happen when choosing transparent as the bottom piece of the Acrylic case?
That effect is independent of what material the case is made of. You could have an aluminum case if you wanted but still have that effect (although that would be pretty pointless).

Right, that's what I meant that the clear will allow it to show. Does that mean all LED boards will have this affect as a programmable option? If so, that would be awesome. I am imagining he is programming different lighting functions into the board like Ducky does?
The only thing that kind of still confuses me is the multi LEDs. It says 20 pieces. Does that mean I choose which keys can change colors or can I just make it the entire board (but every 20 pieces are $10 as opposed to 110 pieces at $10)
Two questions, please.
1) how much is the PCB, can’t see a price tag?
2) can I get an estimate price, e. g.:
0$(?) 75% PCB, White
22$ 75% Plate, Acryl 5mm, Lime
80$ 75% Acryl Case
10$ LED High Bright, 110pcs (with Resistors), White
45$ Cherry MX Blue, 90pcs
45$ Assemble and Test Service
makes together 202$, plus some shipping (I live in Germany) and other costs, so I probably end up with 250$ all inclusive, right?
Can the 60% PCB support the poker layout, 1.25 x 7 and a 6.25 space bar, but with costar stabs if I can get the proper plate to pair with it?hi! Zflamewing ! how are You? ;)

Hi Sprit, how's the status of the 4mm alu plate please?Hi! fatchoi ! ;)
Hi Sprit
Did you see my reply PM a few days ago?
I got a beautiful package from Sprit today. :) The packing job was awesome. Good Job...Oh my god these look gorgeous! I expect a build log soon! :D
These PCBs look amazing!!! They are super solid and they are stunning to look at. I could not be happier with the quality of these boards. Very excited to start building these...
I have to wait for my PCB holding Panavise head to arrive so I can get soldering, but that should arrive in the next day or two. I opted to do all my own SMD soldering, so this should be some good practice.
Be patient everyone. Sprit is doing a fabulous job here and he is producing absolutely beautiful boards. You will not be disappointed with your purchases.
Here are some pictures for your viewing pleasure...

I wish I could help but I can't speak korean though. Looking at the bootmapper I think it has some bug. The button "load keymap_part.hex" should be able to load the hex from this http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=50580.msg1256970#msg1256970, but when I try to load it and it always say invalid file type. If it could only load the hex file, that could be a good start.
Is there anyway to address that sprit? Can you ask someone to check that feature? Or it is not the way I understood that button?

Which .hex file did you try loading?
When I tested, keymain_GKP.hex wasn't "a valid keymap", but keymap_part(a87_V03)(a87U)(mxminiU)(a87UEX).hex was
My guess is that keymain_GKP.hex is, in fact, not a valid keymap. It might be some other firmware to make the keyboard work. In particular he said "GKP = ghost key protected" so it probably does stuff like debouncing or other code that's necessary for the keyboard to work. Anyways, seems like a promising route to modify the actual sample keymap hex file (keymap_part...) and then load that as the instructions describe in the post you linked.

Thanks guys! SMD soldering isn't that bad. I find it easiest to solder one end of the SMD, reheat and realign if needed, and then solder the other end.
Of course proper tools and equipment make things easier.

I have to say that I would LOVE a metal 75% case, but that is totally out of my budget right now. I need to sell a couple of my build projects to afford that.
Hey Sprit,Hello! MrChunky! ;)
Updated my order according to the new developments :D
Is the metal case design more or less finalised then? Can we really mix and match with acrylic? Is it ok to order a selection of just the middle layers in acrylic for example, to add to the case later?
Which option has the most metal and is as solid as possible?Hello! Dear Pacifist ! ;)

Hello! Defect and Magna224! ;)
I was trying to answer Defect on this. Sorry!!!
One of Alps Fan, Modern Alps 60%, 87% PCBs are my Dream too.

The PCB and Case will be relatively easy as we know.
But in my opinion, the major Obstacles are,
- Switches : I am afraid a possible mass muder of old Alps keyboard to harvest the Old Alps Switches, like alps Pink, Blue, Orange.
As I posted last time, I have sampled some Taiwanese Alps compatible simplified switches(including linear, non-clicky), the price and quality seems ok, but the MOQ is 50,000.
- Stabilizers, Keycaps : need to meet the MOQ.
If someone wants to harvest all the parts from used Alps boards, in that case, what we need are PCBs and cases.
As the Alps Custom keyboards are one of my goal, I will try on this project!
And keycaps. It is not trivial to find alps keycaps that will fit a modern layout (from what I can find anyway). It would suck to finally get everything built and working and not be able to use it because you can't find keycaps. Maybe others know where we could get a set of alps caps for a modern layout?

Matias is working on it, Tai Hao has molds and so do SP.
Any of those have reasonably thick options? I know SP DSC and Tai Hao are very thin. I have never seen Matias keycaps, how are they?

Will the stabs that you're using for this keyboard hang over the PCB? I just learned the hard way that the KBT Pure case will only fit the PCB if nothing hangs over.
Will the stabs that you're using for this keyboard hang over the PCB? I just learned the hard way that the KBT Pure case will only fit the PCB if nothing hangs over.
Normally PCBs shouldn't have anything hanging over? What kind of PCB did you try to put in your Pure case?
My Pure Pro has the stabs on the spacebar hanging over for some reason.

That is weird, normally the stabilizer wire should be towards the inside, at least on the 60%s I have seen. This is the case with sprit's PCB, too.
So, how close are we to finishing up R1 PCBs? I just realized we are 7 months in with only a few (SMD-less) boards shipped. Can we get a percentage done? I understand the time it takes to do the SMD soldering, but it would be nice to know where things stand. When I paid for shipping months ago, I thought we were almost there... Could we perhaps a total of boards (60/75/110) ordered in R1, and how many left to fill MOQ for R2? Thanks!

Could we perhaps a total of boards (60/75/110) ordered in R1, and how many left to fill MOQ for R2? Thanks!Hello! blightly ;)

You ordered 1 75% PCB, and 1 87% PCB (chaged to 75% later), and paid shipping on 20th Jan.
SO Sorry! I am going to ship 2 PCBs Next Monday!
Lest of Diodes soldering is the major factor on Round 1 Now. :(
I am doing focusing on this. around 50 persons left to ship. I feel so guilty ! :-X :-\ :-\
Anyway I am going to make it !! I am Not watching the Football. ;)

In the Round 2, I will try to drop or fill up the MOQs, to boot GB !
People have been waiting too Long. So Sorry ! :-X >:D :-X
In the Round 1, The failure of PCB MOQs resulted in Manual soldering, I waited and tried to gather more orders till mid January.
and The Inspection and Reproductions for some parts took a long long time. I am so sad. Apology!!! >:D
I will try my best to ship out the remaining R1 orders, as soon as possible!!! >:D [size=78%] [/size]
In the Round 2, I will try to gather enough for the MOQs, if Not, I will drop it or try to fill it. This may boost the whole speed.
The Process of Inspecting and Sorting Parts and Springs are much improved during R1, I guess it will be much faster (max. 1 months)
The Small parts are already organized to be ready for Round 2.
Thanks Guys for this Happen! It was my dream to have things like this. :)
How long do I have left to order?
;)Well at least I am going to sell my pure pro to a friend after my sprit gets shipped to me.My Pure Pro has the stabs on the spacebar hanging over for some reason.That is weird, normally the stabilizer wire should be towards the inside, at least on the 60%s I have seen. This is the case with sprit's PCB, too.
Are the stabilizers offered PCB mount type?
My 75% PCB is on the way! But I wasn't clever enough to buy stabilizers from Sprit (or maybe they weren't in stock, I can't remember).
Does anyone know a good (and relatively quick :P) place to buy PCB-mount cherry stabs? Seems surprisingly hard to find a place to buy them.
Edit: And yeah, that ships to Norway.

Give IMSTO store a try.
Give IMSTO store a try.
Sweet! Thanks. Exactly what I needed, ordered a set of stabilizers and a set of o-rings for 12 USD + 10 USD shipping. :thumb:
Sprit, just a heads up, I may be adding more things to my order (friend wants to get in on this game, too).
And please please please tell me that you have a 60% alps I can buy haha.
Hey Sprit!
I sent you PMs but you never answered after.....well still the same question...will 87 acrylic case fit my phantom board....? I remember reading the description saying that it would fit...
Sprit,Hello! cookiesowns! ;)
Do you have an ETA on my order? If it takes a big longer that's no problem. But I just want to make sure I got my allocations of MX clears, and various other parts, so I don't have to procure other parts once they finally get here
Just got my 75% PCB today, great shipping speed!
I'm playing around with the placement of the switches now, is it not possible to do: 1.25, 1.25, 1.25, 6.25 in the lower left corner?
I have not tried that yet. You will have to put caps on some switches and then put them in the different holes to see what is possible. That is how I figured out what holes I should be using for the layout I wanted... That was with my 60% pcb though, I have not started working on my 75% yet.

Sure! I will PM You now!
From what I can tell it looks like it's made for 1.25, 1, 1.25, or 1.75, 1.75. Darn! I wanted to make this layout as keycap-set friendly as possible. :)Yes! You are right! ;)
Yes it seems so! But no problems on the 1.25 part, since any of the numpad r1 keys in a normal keycap set can work as windowskey.I think you need a tsangan kit, or kbt race compatible keycap set. I think the G80-18** also have that size.
I think I've decided to go with this layout for now:Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/dSEeM0O.jpg)
The only "problem" with this is that the left shift is a very unorthodox size (R1 1.75x, caps lock size, but a row down).
Alternatively I could do it like this:Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/vQAUlAI.jpg)
Which has the normal ISO right shift, then the layout would be 100% keycap-set compatible, but I wouldn't get the arrow-key cluster on the right.
Decisions, decisions!
Hello! Swill! ;)
Sorry! I am busy w diodes soldering to ship!
This is Not enough ? http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=50580.msg1256970#msg1256970 (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=50580.msg1256970#msg1256970) ;)
I received my 2 75% PCBs and have already managed to break 3 pcb mount stabilizers around the enter key. Thanks!
How did you manage that?? I mean sure, PCB mount stabilizers break fairly easy but still, three of them in a row?I was overexcited/hamfisted? I try to push it in and the side that holds the wire gives/snaps and goes flying. Good ole IMSTO stabs. At least they come with both 6.2x and 7x spacebar wires. The other stabs went in more or less okay, but the enter is making me waste parts... Think I'll watch a couple episodes of Sidonia No Kishi then try again.

edit: after a short break, i realized that the stab wire is on the top of the ANSI enter key, instead of the bottom of the switches, like the spacebar and backspace stabs.

I have spares and a couple of donor boards, so it's not too bad. I like object lessons I can walk away from. Anyone know the stock location for the lock LEDs?
I was being gentle, but I was very confused as to why my stabs were not fitting when I first tried to put them in. Luckily I inspected the stab and the holes to realize that one was larger than the other and I was trying to put them in backwards. Sorry you broke so many learning this. :( I consider myself lucky now...

Answer my pm please
Answer my pm please
Sprit is super busy, give him some time.
I would not call the delay slight. Anyway, I haven't received any information about this nor have I been given the choice to change plate.
Patience is the word of the hour. :)Patience is the word of the year.
I have started my build, and thought i would give a heads up to anyone wishing to do SIP Socket mod to switches and planning on getting the acrylic plate. There does notseem to be enough clearance from the SIP socket pins to solder to the PCB.
Not sure if there are alternative SIP Sockets that may fit, but the one i have, and seem pretty standard are not long enough. I am most likely going to be looking for a thinner alu plate in its place.

They worked fine for me. The end of the legs on the sip sockets were basically flush with the bottom of the PCB before I soldered them on. I was able to touch both the leg of the sip socket and the trace on the PCB without any issue. It soldered up pretty nicely...
I don't have a good picture of it (other than just the final pictures of the case where you can see what it looks like), but here is my build log (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=58969.msg1349714#msg1349714)...
It may be worth noting that I also removed the entire housing of my sip sockets before installing them in the switch. Not sure if that will make a difference, but I suspect it might...

I nearly pm'd you asking. Was not sure what plate you used for you build.
That is good to know, I will give it a go. I have removed the housing aswell. I have only eyeballed it at this point.
Is there any indication of when round 2 will be shipping? I'm just after PCB and some springs.

We should ask sprit to post how close he is to moq. I know he is focusing on getting round one soldered up and shipped right now.
He needs a higher moq for round two I think so the factory pre solders everything for him.
I suspect round two is still a ways off from shipping.

Perhaps to meet the MOQ for the round 2 PCBs he should offer only one color. Personally I don't care too much about the color of the PCB because ideally it won't be exposed in the final product.

Thanks for sharing your experiences Swill!
If you remove the housing from the sip sockets, is there any risk of shorting?
No, I would not worry about that at all. You will put an LED in it before you solder (TRUST ME, DO THIS!!!), so when you solder the spacing will be fixed wide enough that it will never short.I did not do this and it looks really messy. It still works, but the LEDs are harder to insert and it looks really ugly, especially with my clear keytops.

How does it look ugly? You would not be seeing any part of the sip socket at all. Unless you meant clear switch covers?

Question: was anyone of you forced to pay custom fees? It would be ideal, if sprit sends the packages declared a “gift” without any sign, that he is commercial, no?
I'm interested in a 75% SpiRiT, however, I'm a bit confused to as how everything fits together.
There are 3 pieces that make up the case, and 1 piece that makes the plate. Does this mean that the plate is optional, and only necessary if I wanted to plate mount, instead of PCB mount the switches?
May seem like a dumb question, but I'm just trying to visualize how this will look in the end.
Thanks.

What is the current status on orders from last year in the first round?
What is the current status on orders from last year in the first round?
They are being shipped as sprit finishes up soldering them and putting the orders together. It is a lot of work, so it is taking some time, but he is rocking through it.
Even with the delays due to the excess work sprit took on to make sure every customer is taken care of, this is still one of the fastest GBs for building a board.
From experience, the PCBs are great quality and a joy to work with. You will be happy with your purchase.

Yea, I'm looking forward to it. Hope the waiting worth.
Sprit said last week he was not feeling well and would ship my order this week.
Stuff is progressing so I guess we should be patient. My order consists of different items and probably that's why it took longer time. Once received, I'm taking day off from work to assemble it. :D
Is anyone reselling these PCBs in the US? Shipping seems like it could get very expensive.

Not that I know of. Once you factor in split shipping, acquiring stabilizers and plates from another source, and reshipping costs, you really wouldn't be saving money with a US reshipper.

Answers my question exactly.
Last question regarding the plate, is the metal plate compatible with the acrylic case? Or is it only usable with the metal case?
Is the 87% pcb compatible with Filco cases?
Is the 87% pcb compatible with Filco cases?Hello numiru! ;)
Ok, thanksIs the 87% pcb compatible with Filco cases?Hello numiru! ;)
Filco cases are usually Not compatible with the A.87 PCB.
Is August 8 for all round 1 orders? Some people mentioned a delay in 4mm metal plates due to low interest. Is that still the case?
Round 1 : Shipping on going
- Doing diode soldering before shipping.
- Sending a Personal message before each shipping
- Finish the Shipping : by August 8th
- So Sorry for the Delay !!

Oh! I see! I will do that! Thanks for the Advise! ;)
Sprit, you may want to specify how close the 75%, 87% and 110% are to hitting MOQ where everything could be factory pre-soldered. I have seen in other GBs that if that information is available the community rallies around those numbers to push them up to the MOQ. Might be worth it to update that status every couple weeks.

If I ordered a 60% and a 75%, will i get separate invoices or will i get it all together once 75% starts invoicing?
Sprit - Orders for round 2 60% boards should expect invoice over the next few days if I read the update right?All the Orders are kept well and backuped.
There were a few changes we discussed but as you are a super busy guy you may not remember, should I submit a new order or wait and see if the invoice is correct then can inform of any changes if needed?
Thanks
Hi, just wondering when the deadline for invoicing is.Hi! ;)
Can those feet be detached from the case?

Sure! It has connecting Bolts, and CNC machined Bolting holes. ;)
3~4 colors of Feet are basically included. http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=50580.msg1266826#msg1266826 (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=50580.msg1266826#msg1266826)

Sorry if this has been mentioned before, I'm assuming that switch tops cannot be removed with the 5mm acrylic plate?Hi! ;)
Hi! Jorge! ;)
Your 60% is well? ;)
Hi! Jorge! ;)
Your 60% is well? ;)
Yeah, It's doing well. The quality of the pcb is superb, I was able to tinker as much as I want and there is still no damage in the pcb given the fact Im noob in soldering... :)
Unfortunately, it is sitting in my desk right now as it is still waiting for keycaps.

What layout do you need for your keycaps. Maybe I can hook you up?
Model 2, 3 Cases are 2-Layerd so in the order form
"Acryl Case - Color & Finish ? - Top / Middle / Bottom Layer"
we have to choose only 2 colors not 3?
Hi Sprit,
Does the Acrylic with matte finish doesn't easily get scratch?
I just received an invoice that is incorrect. I read that you wanted us to resubmit the form if we had any changes, so I did that. Please double check the submitted form.Hello! Dear ! :thumb:

How to Trasform Your : Case Model 1 to Model 2, 3 Slim ?
- Remove the Top Layer, it becomes 2-Layerd.
- Look! Voila! (Voara : in Korean) You have Model 2, or 3 Slim!
- Don't Worry !
- I have already included extra bolts and small accessaries in Your Model 1 shipping for the Transformation .
- I know, I missed to some, I will include it in Your 'Springs Round 2 GB' bags.
- Don't Worry !
For R2, are the 1.6mm aluminium plates still available? or are these no longer available.
I ask because the Googledocs form no longer has the 1.6mm plates in the list.
It was mentioned that orders fell below the MOQ and couldnt be made. If you look at the order form I think it indicates its not available. :(Yes! Your are Right! ;)
Hey sprit, sent you a pm.I got Yours! So Sorry for the 68g.
I know I'm late but is it still possible to order?

You can still order for R2.
Hi, Sprit this is refreshingly awesome!
1) How long can we order?
2) If I wanted a case for a TKL Phantom keyboard, would I get the 87%? Is a TKL 87%?
3) And so no metal cases in R2? Any plans for those in R3 (if there were one)?

Round 2 orders will be open until Saturday, July 26
Yes, the Phantom PCB will fit Sprit's 87% TKL case
Metal cases were cancelled in R1 & R2 due to low MOQ. There might be an appearance in R3.
Zeal, if I don't choose a plate will that mean that the switches are pcb mounted (making them easily swappable?) or is that most possible?Sprit will provide PCB mount switches if your order does not contain a plate. You can also leave a comment for PCB mount switches as a reminder. :)
Ok thanks Zeal. And could I just buy a case and supply everything else?

Sprit will also PM/email you for confirmation before sending your order out.Ok thanks Zeal. And could I just buy a case and supply everything else?
Yes, you're free to order a case by itself. :)
Sprit's Acrylic plates have extra cutouts to remove switch tops without desoldering. If you'll be swapping springs/stems, might as well get a plate to help with stability, since you'll still be able to remove tops with the plate installed.Zeal, if I don't choose a plate will that mean that the switches are pcb mounted (making them easily swappable?) or is that most possible?Sprit will provide PCB mount switches if your order does not contain a plate.

So that means I don't have to desolder if I ever wanna change switches right? Do you think I should get a plate and stop being lazy? Lol.

Are there any instructions to soldering? Since its a universal pcb it would be nice. Don't want to screw it up.
Are there any led indicators? Lets say for caps lock.
I want all white leds but multicolored for indicators (if there are any)

The Caps Lock indicator LED is in-switch. Mine is red in the picture below:Show Image(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/20523800/GH%20Pictures/FaceW/2014-05-14a/IMG_0740_esw.jpg)
On my 60% I think I only have two indicator. Capslock and numlock. N/L is on the backspace switch. If there are other indicators, I have not found them yet. :)I just Recommend Multi Color LEDs for Caps, and Esc for 60%,
paid! Thanks Sprit.Cheers :thumb:

Hi! I have a few questions:
1. Is the smokey gray-blue color an option for the acrylic? I see a sample picture on page 1, but it's not an option on the order form.
Yes, it's available. Mention "Charcoal Gray" in the textbox.
2. Does the 75% require special keycaps? It seems that it uses the large Iso enter key and other non-ANSI sized keys.
Nope. Sprit's 75% board supports both ANSI & ISO. That's why the plate has both the cut outs. :). You'll just need to source a couple extra 1u keys to fill the right side. (Some people use numpad keys).
3. Do I need to use PCB mount switches? I have a set of plate-mount clear switches waiting to be used, so it would be nice if I could use plate mounting.
PCB and Plate mounted switches both work on Sprit's Face W PCB! Just be sure to have a plate of some sort if you use plate mounted switches! Stabs are PCB mount by default.
4. Do I choose three layer of acrylic case colors for model 3?
Model 3 is a two layered case.
5. Where do I specify if I want model 1, 2, or 3?
http://puu.sh/avzvi/e4779f5342.png
Thank you, and I hope I'm not too late to order!
Thank you, Zeal! Will each order include those wire stabilizers?Stab orders ($8 USD) come with the necessary wires & plastic inserts. Each set contains 4x 2unit stabs (enter, shifts, backspace) and 1x 6.25unit spacebar stab. If you want a 7unit stab wire, it'll be $1 extra.
Would you recommend getting extra sets? It seems like some people broke theirs in the process of assembly.
Do we also get SIP and stickers with this buy, or is that from different group buys?

umm, there's a video by bluebear that shows how to clip the stabs.
he also shows how to insert the stab wires. I've clipped my stabs and so far they're holding up pretty well.
Just be careful. :D
Since this multiple question thing seems to work, I'll give it a go.
1. Can I just procure a plate of my own or make one that will fit on this 60% pcb? Are there any special requirements for size or thickness? I'm guessing just 1.6mm?
2. So if I use a plate with this I should get cherry plate mounted stabs from that Ivan group buy, not the costar ones from WASD? And those come with the springs and everything I don't need anything else?

1. Yes, if you have some appropriate CAD files. Thickness should be 1.6mm, correct.
2. You can get PCB mounted Cherry stabs from this GB or Plate mounted Cherry stabs from Ivans GB, but Costars stabs only if you have a plate that can use Costar stabs. Stabs don't have springs, both GBs provide all parts need afaik.
Just one quick question before I fire this thing up. Does it matter which direction the diodes and resistors face?
I've checked the build logs of others and followed their lead. Just want to make sure.
Here's a pictureShow Image(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/07/30/pyqudeju.jpg)
I've put the arrow towards the black line on the diodes. They are tricky though because a few face a different direction.I believe all three of those you posted are upside down, flip them if you can. :thumb:

One question though. I would really like to swap left win with FN key. I tried riotonthebay´s hardware remapping guide but I am unable to move FN to left win. Even if I clear the left win mapping its still there after save and bootup.

I was unaware I was able to contribute additional led modes. Do you have any details for how I would do that?
Correct me if I am wrong, but the 5 modes would be: off, on, breathing, off with key presses increasing brightness, on with key presses decreasing brightness.
Also there is something like 5-6 different brightness settings (didn't count).

Hello ! Dear Bakteria ! ;)
I have been fiddling with the keymap software all morning but am unable to exchange location of WIN key with FN. I can move the FN key to the standard WIN key location but unable to get WIN key working on FN location. Even after remapping it acts as if the FN key is still there.
If I understand correctly LGui is the left WIN key.
I Wish I had the know how to fiddle with the led modes.. :'(
I am doing Updating the Firmware and Testing on my PCBs.
L-Win to L-Ctrl works OK? For me OK. and I will Test L-Win to FN on many PCBs ! :thumb:
LED mode Toggle = FN + Caps toggle (press) = mode 1 > mode 2 > mode 3 > mode 4 > mode 5 ;)

Will give that a go! FN probobly hardwired or something because with the led mode that makes the leds light up when you press buttons FN button does not make it light up.
Another quick question. (yeah I know, there are many :p ) I have a transparent case incoming and I'm thinking about putting leds on the sides. How would you go about doing that? might be hard though with plate and everything already mounted.
and did You got refund for the Shipping cost saved?

Just a shame that I have to wait a month for my TEX frosted acrylic case to arrive. Kind of wish I ordered a acrylic case from you :'(
Yes! parallel (double) wired (soldered) ! V = IR , P= VI , E = VIt

Those are equations for Voltage, Power and Energy :p
I'm also in the same boat as you, come September were going to have a sweet keyboard. Too bad i can't flash TMK onto this board... i'm going to miss my FN lock
Hey Sprit, I sent you an e-mail about my order from the first round. Please reply when you get a chance!hello shrapneL ;)
Any guide to choosing springs?
* Springs Compared v 1.1
High-glossy (v1.1), very minor variation version. Basically same spec with v1.0
I try to follow the Cherry Original Specs and GH Standard. ;)
But as we know, some Cherry Original springs have some variances, even in the same switches.
So I have compared all the samples I got, and compared with my References. * (Needs to be compared by people)
For my 50g ~75g version, I tried to add some softer touch. (They start slightly softer and mellow than stock ones, hopely.)
My 50g is a little bit softer and lighter than MX Red (~55g)
My 55g is slightly softer and lighter than MX Brown, MX Blue (58g~60g)
My 60g is similar to MX Blue, but has some more tightness, hopely !
My 62g is slightly heavier than MX Blue
My 65g is soft but quite heavier than MX Blue
My 68g-70g is similar to some Vintage MX Blacks (Soft & Cushiony)
My 75g is similar to the most current MX Blacks standard
My 78g is Soft MX Clear Edition, slightly softer & lighter than MX Clear, and same cushiony too.
My 85g is similar to MX Clear. v1.0 has a little bit tough start, v1.1 will be very similar to Vintage Clear.
My 100g is similar to MX Grey nonclicky in MX Clear Keyboards
My 120g-135g Super-heavy!

Yes/No. I'm only taking orders for 60% case / 60% DIY Keyboard kits. Those that want DHL delivery can order through me as well. I may also end up sending EU/AU orders, depending if my discounted shipping proposal is approved.
Don't worry you can buy only pcb. If you can not submit the form just put a . or a * in the field.
Above that section you have a section where it asks you if you want a case or not, choose no. If it still does not work just select an option and put the comment that you don't want one, and also PM sprit and it will be OK ;)Weird okay, yeah still not working for some reason. PMing Sprit!
For me it worked :D

Sorry if its been answerd and I've missed it. But some questions.
Will the acrylic plate and PCB fit on other 60% cases?
When does this GB end?
- 60% Model 2, 3 supports : Face U, W, GH60, most 60% Custom PCBs, Poker I, II, pure.

I'd like to know what case model you guys are ordering. And it also want to know the comparison between each model and other keyboards on the market (Ducky, Filco) in term of height. (I don't know how Sprit had measured like 18mm from base to top of the case or 18mm from base to the PCB)
Sorry! Heat makes me crazy, exhausted ! :(
Hi Sprit,
Can I just order the PCB only? 50 right?
Ready available or it's still under GB?
Cheers!
60% PCB is under production, so it will be ready soon.Good news :) Can't wait to get this one, this will be my first custom, sprit case and gold plated springs :D
I'm thinking about building a keyboard around the model 2 case. From what I can see in the pictures, it looks like it's made up of the following:
- One-piece top layer with built-in switch plate
- Middle layer
- Bottom layer
Is this correct? And when filling out the order form how do I specify this? Is the top layer + plate included with the model 2 case? Or do I buy the plate separately and specify that I need one for the model 2 case?
Also, is there any way to order an 87% plate that doesn't have the triangles cut out around the arrow keys?
Thanks!
Any idea when the Model 3 will ship? No rush or anything, but it's for my sisters b-day in November, and I'm wondering if it will be there before then?

Depends on your order. 60% PCB & Cases are under production with factory pre-soldered diodes & resistors, so it won't be that long. :p

So you're back right? Just want to confirm if you get my pm, because I don't want to miss this round2 :P
Aug. 28 for shipping r2? That sounds awesome!
Edit: Or wait, was it changed to something else? Just indefinitely delayed since you didn't put a new date?
Do you know the ETA on R1 fully assembled keyboards?Aug. 28 for shipping r2? That sounds awesome!
Edit: Or wait, was it changed to something else? Just indefinitely delayed since you didn't put a new date?
Scheduled for 28th for now. ;)
Wow, 1 year for R1, 75%.I think I read some where that Sprit would include a kit that could transform the model 1 to model 2 or 3. I'm not sure if this also apply to round 2. Btw. 1 year might be too much for me 2 wait. I'm starting to be paranoid :S
I just changed my order from R2, 75% to the R3, 75% due to the slimness. I may be regretting this decision. At this rate, it'll be 2 years before I see this board.

Has anyone received any R1 orders recently?
Still waiting on mine.
sprit recently got a new job and doesn't have as much time to ship things
he's getting to it, albeit really slowly.
Not sure if this has been asked before, but is there a choice for a 7bit top cover for this?Assuming you're talking about this:
Not sure if this has been asked before, but is there a choice for a 7bit top cover for this?Assuming you're talking about this:Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/BKBXR.jpg)
The PCB doesn't support that layout like the phantom does.
Oh yeah, the original phantom plates form biniaris supported that layout. Here's mine.Show Image(https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5551/14878370019_938cd9f215_o.jpg)
The 7bit specifically tried to maximize the amount of keys on the keyboard and has no stabilizers.
Unfortunately the TKL and 110% PCBs sprit offers do not support the layout, even if you got a plate that did. The reason is that they put the controller there, so there's no space for the holes of a switch.
sprit's pictures of the TKL:

Sprit's working on R1 shipping. I also placed an order in R1 and have yet to receive my parts, but he'll come through. :)
Does anyone know where Sprit went? Oh god I hope this doesn't turn out to be another scam...
If possible, I'll see if I can help him ship the remainder of R1 US orders along with the R2 US shipments I'll be importing.
@witbliz I'll check with him

Question, are the switches plate mount or PCB mount with sprit model 1?
Depends on switch, but Sprit should have both available.Zeal, I’ve ordered sprit model 1 with red switches ... and I need to know which type of switches I need to replace some of the red switches. That’s why I’m asking.

But I’d like to replace the switches without soldering, open them up ... So I guess in this case it doesn’t matter whether I take plate mounted replacement switches or PCB-mounted replacement switches?

Could we get an estimate of when R2 60% PCB's will be shipping?
Could we get an estimate of when R2 60% PCB's will be shipping?
Not sure if you've been reading the rest of the thread, but R1 is about 10 months delayed. I'm don't think there can be an R2 timeline until R1 is done (unless he has plans to move R2 work to someone else while he solders R1 pcbs). Even if he did give you an estimated timeline, how much information would you gain anyways (considering the ETA for R1 has been shifted back consistently for 10 months)?

The R2 60% are factory soldered, is not the same as in R1 where he had to hand solder all the boards. So R1 has no effect on R2
I'll be shipping R2 orders (along with other acrylic case GBs) for NA buyers, as it'll be cheaper and faster than Korea EMS -- So Sprit can concentraate on getting R1 orders out.
Do anyone know the progress on 100/110% R2 PCBs?The 100/110%s had quite low order count, so it's still under MOQ. If I recall correctly, he said there were only 10-20ish orders.
I've PM'd sprit, but I guess he is busy as he has not answered yet.

I thought I already got invoiced for shipping by sprit on all my orders (60% Case + all my springs)
Alright folks, I've got an update from Sprit.
Sprit will be receiving the remaining springs from the factory today, and will commence shipping this week for sure. He aims to have everything shipped out by the end of the month. I'll be taking care of all NA orders (Cases, PCBs, Switches, [Canadian/some US] springs etc), so you guys can be expecting a shipping invoice soon. I'll provide an update once I've authorized an import with DHL to Sprit's place. According to my DHL importing quote, it should only take 1 business day (since Korea's 16 hrs ahead of PST, the package sort of travels back in time :)) )

I'll be taking care of all NA orders (Cases, PCBs, Switches, [Canadian/some US] springs etc), so you guys can be expecting a shipping invoice soon. I'll provide an update once I've authorized an import with DHL to Sprit's place. According to my DHL importing quote, it should only take 1 business day (since Korea's 16 hrs ahead of PST, the package sort of travels back in time :)) )
Thanks for hanging in there everyone.
Any word on my color change? I'd like to pay my invoice :/
I told him about your colour change request, and he told me that he'd email you. (Sept 8th)
Since I'll be receiving extra cases, I should be able to update your colour change regardless. I've sent him another email for good measure :).

Does this include fully assembled R1 orders as well? If not, do you have an ETA on those?
That's for the remaining 24% of R1?Sprit's aiming to have R1 out by the end of the month as well. If there are NA orders from R1 that are complete, I'll be sure to ask for those as well.
He did PM me asking about the color change, but after I replied with my update, I never heard from him again. I just want to make sure that's what I'm getting >.<I'll make sure you get the right colours so you can pay the invoice. Did you want both layers pink transparent?
Hello sprite i just bougth a 8 switch tester and i would like like to know what springs do you have ? i would like 8 springs of each weight. I don't need them to be gold plated normal is fine theses are just for testing and want to know the perfect switch in the perfect weight for me.The other thread or pm
Hello Zeal or Sprit.
Is there any way you can give a timeline onto the R3-75% shipping date?
I originally switched from R2 to R3, and I'm wondering if I made a mistake doing that.

Thanks Zeal. Could you please also help to ask status of other R1 international orders?Will be doing that along with the other questions this upcoming week.
Hi Zeal do we pm or email you in regards to changes made in our order ? I've emailed and pm sprite and also informed u that I have tried to communicate with him on my changes but no reply or answer has been received. So what's the best solution ?Please PM me your Order #, original order contents, and your new revised order / address changes / etc.

Good to know some have received their stuf...What case is this blighty?
Apparently there was a little bit of miscommunication regarding all the items ready for shipping. :-[
Sprit has told me that springs and 60% cases will be shipped tomorrow his time (our afternoon/evening)
60% PCBs will ship next week, due to some shortage of SMD parts so he had to order them causing delays.
Sprit will provide some more details later. As always, I'll update you guys whenever I get them.

Hi Zeal, how about 87 key please? It's approaching 10 months of wait.
Anyway, thanks for the update. Do hope Sprit will pop up and give more details.

Zeal - Did send Sprit an PM some weeks ago regarding request for switch change on my R2 order, find that it was read by him but no reply that change was confirmed. Possible for you to confirm change of switch?Could you please specify what switches you wanted changed? To all future confirmation requests, please PM me and provide your Order/Invoice #, what you had before, and what you want changed. Thank you.
I hope that includes my 60% PCB and springs that - according to his PM - were ready to ship on July 17th already...I understand your frustration (I also ordered in R1 and have yet to receive my PCB), and the GB has become larger than he imagined. I've stepped in to offer a helping hand, and I'll do my best to make sure this doesn't happen in the future.
While I do appreciate the effort that Sprit put into this, especially with hand-soldering the components that the factory didn't do due to not meeting the MOQ, it is getting somewhat ridiculous now.
Hi Zeal, how about 87 key please? It's approaching 10 months of wait.Getting R1 out is currently top priority. Sprit is fully aware of your order.
Anyway, thanks for the update. Do hope Sprit will pop up and give more details.
This.I understand your frustration, and we've all been very patient for a long time. A good portion of R1 orders have been shipped out, and as mentioned above, there's about 25-30 orders left to be shipped, with about half being in NA. I'm trying my best to make everyone happy, but R1 is somewhat out of my control.
I don't see how R1 shipping can keep being delayed month after month without much of a transparent update. I understand this is a GB, but have ANY of R1 orders been sent out? If not, what is the hold-up? I understand he's got a full-time job, but he could at the very least ship a handful of R1 orders PER WEEK.
And we're still waiting for the MOQ to be met for sizes over 60% (R2)? I'm really puzzled why I had to pay an invoice for the 110% PCB when it hasn't met the MOQ yet.Yes. Paying for the invoice is committing to your purchase. Unfortunately, there isn't a way to hold funds via a PayPal invoice.
From what you're saying, seems like PCB size other than 60% need a lot more orders to be able to have factory SMD pre-soldered. Will this turned out that Sprit have to do the hand SMD solder again or could we just have the option that we accept to solder SMD ourself so Sprit could ship the PCB faster once they were produced.No, sprit will won't be hand soldering SMD components for hundreds of boards for a LONG time. We'll either front the money to get them produced, and sell of the remaining extras later, or perhaps there'll be more interest once we get the first wave of 60%s out.
I don't mean to beat a dead horse, but whenever I see updates in this GB, they typically only refer to PCBs. I haven't seen any update regarding fully assembled R1 orders (I ordered and paid for a fully assembled TKL with acrylic case). Is this something you can speak to please?Getting R1 orders out ASAP is top priority. I'll ask Sprit for more info on Sunday for you.
Thanks for the update Zeal, do you know something about EU orders? When the springs, PCB's and cases for EU will be shipped?All the springs are done packing, and will be shipped on Monday. PCBs are under finalization, so expect those to ship starting October.
Us EU guys didn't had the luck with someone like you to help :)
Zeal-Did you only join the springs GB or did you order a full DIY kit as well? Please also PM me your order/invoice # and I'll get it changed.
Sorry to add to your ever growing workload with this GB, but is it possible to modify my order? I think I ordered 50g springs, but wanted to change them to 55g. If its impossible or a hassle, no worries. Good luck!
First off. Just want to thank Zeal for acting as the intermediary during this whole process.Metal plates have been cancelled in R1 & R2 due to low order count.
I'm curious to know whether there has been any progress on the 4mm metal plates from R1. I don't mind waiting if there is, but otherwise I may have to consider alternate plans.
Just curious: any progress with alps pcbs / cases?That's for next year's project. Gotta focus on finishing up R1 & R2 first.
Cheers,
K

Metal plates have been cancelled in R1 & R2 due to low order count.
Since I haven't been completely following all pages of this thread, was there any official mention from Sprit of having the metal plates from R1 cancelled? Or was it simply someone PM'd him, and they posted what was answered.
If that's the case, I've been waiting this entire time for a single PCB? I've been patiently waiting knowing that there may be delays because of the plates, but after seeing your post Zeal it's got me baffled. Will there be refunds for those who ordered 4mm metal plates? Another thing, there is no way that a single PCB and the springs I ordered will amount to what I paid in shipping costs no matter how well it's been packaged. I'm hoping there will be adjustments for that as well.
I know Sprit is running this GB with good intentions, but there's a point where excitement can cloud judgement and common sense. There is no need to rush for an order of something significant like PCBs when MOQ for production was initially not reached in R1 leaving him having to solder SMDs, etc. Then he suddenly wants to do an R2 while constantly making revisions to acrylic cases and knowing that R1 is far from completion? It's absurd.
Ah, Sprit told me he would PM people about plates a few months back, but I guess he got busy. Thanks for the heads up.First off. Just want to thank Zeal for acting as the intermediary during this whole process.Metal plates have been cancelled in R1 & R2 due to low order count.

I'm STILL waiting on my R1 order and I haven't gotten an update from Sprit in 9 weeks now...I'm extremely anxious about this considering I sent him $500 almost 10 months ago and I literally don't even have pictures or any evidence that the product I ordered even exists. Can I please have some sort of closure? At this point I am considering asking for a refund and wiping my hands of this whole mess.
Seems like the bigger orders have not been fulfilled..(including mine) I haven't seen any pictures besides 60% keyboards either.

When are R2 60% PCB's shipping?Since r1 isnt done yet I believe he might ship them at christmas time ish? :)
I talked with sprit when I paid the shipping for the R2 stuff (PCB, case + springs), he told me that the 60% PCB's should be out of the factory this week and shipping should start soon. So I would not worry :cool:Well since he is going to take priority to r1 I think it´s going to take a while but keep your hopes up
My proposal would be to post a list of all customers by nickname with delivery status, so everyone can see that something is progressing, e. g.I like this idea. You could clearly see where you are on the list. So you could probably guess when you're going to get your order compare to not knowing anything.
nickname1 order status: shipped
nickname2 order status: shipped
nickname3 order status: in work
nickname4 order status: in work
nickname5 order status: in work
nickname6 order status: in work
nickname7 order status: in work
nickname8 order status: in work

I think this would calm down the people _alot_!
Apologies for the lack of posts. I returned back from Asia late Friday, and jetlag's been really messing with my schedule. Living off of free WiFi for a week is also a PITA when most require you to already have a cellphone # with the Asian cellphone carrier :))
So while I was in Taiwan, I arranged to meet Sprit for 2 days in Korea. We talked a bunch, and I've asked him about updates and schedules for everything.
R1 - He's focusing on hand soldering all the remaining PCBs. To speed up the process, remaining R1 60% PCB orders will be swapped with presoldered R2 PCBs when they come out from the factory sometime this/next week. He told me that he wants to finish soldering the remaining R1 orders within a month's time. No more new group buys from Sprit until R1 and R2 are complete.
R2 - Non 60% PCB size orders: Orders for these other sizes are very low, and will most likely have to be hand soldered with Sprit's existing R1 75%/87%/100% PCBs.
@henz
60% acrylic plate fits 3 of the standoffs on the FMJ case.

Sprit, I've been asking for a refund for over a week now and you have ignored me this entire time. This is not a negotiation, this is a refund. This is unacceptable behavior from a group buy. At this point, to me you're just a scam artist. I have asked for a refund. Refund me my money.
Keep in mind, it isn't fair for him to not ship while giving ridiculous excuses for an entire year. But! The two notions of fairness are orthogonal

To be fair, **** is moving out, people are getting stuff, and it's been less than a year since most people paid. It's still faster than the GH60 GB I'm still waiting to ship to me. I've already received my Sprit PCB and springs and the GH60 hasn't even shipped. It's still moving faster than a lot of GBs. There were a few problems that Sprit resolved and is slowly working through. I'd be impressed if someone working full time could execute a GB of this size and complexity faster than Sprit has. Is it disappointing that it isn't faster? Yes, but things are happening and there are way more updates here than in other GBs.

QFT
So far sprit has been a great guy and has put together some very ambitious products and buys. There is currently no reason to think he wont follow through. I think some people here need to back off the loud-pedal using the word scam so freely.
I'd also be happy to hand-solder my fairly substantial R2 order, to speed up arrival. Is this something that might be worth creating a list/form for, Zeal/Sprit? I don't mind waiting a while either way, but less work for Sprit/faster production/more soldering practice for me seems to be a win-win situation.Agreed

If you're referencing my post then you're making a strawman argument and so does the post you "QFT"d. I didn't say he wasn't a "genuine and nice guy", I also didn't call him a "scammer".
The _entire point of my post_ is that I think he's done a poor job of running the GB, but neither of you guys actually argued for him doing a _good_ job. OTOH, I realize that the this entire debate is pretty pointless (because regardless of the outcome, none of us get are orders any sooner). I think the only reason I posted anything was because of the completely illogical argument about how "this is better than the GH60 GB so it's actually pretty good." Yeah... guess I got baited? My bad
I'd also be happy to hand-solder my fairly substantial R2 order, to speed up arrival. Is this something that might be worth creating a list/form for, Zeal/Sprit? I don't mind waiting a while either way, but less work for Sprit/faster production/more soldering practice for me seems to be a win-win situation.
For an R2 order, I don't think that would make a difference really. If I am not mistaken (and someone correct me if I am wrong), R2 wasn't going to happen until MOQ for factory-soldering was hit.

I'll correct you. R2 is happening - or at least a lot of us have paid for R2 orders.
I don't think there's a point in comparing it with like, the worst GB in GH's history. He _made_ a large number of the problems that he's working through. No one asked him to order without hitting MOQ. No one asked him to ship back springs that had flaky gold plating. No one asked him to make the GB so complicated that it got out of his hands. He made these decisions himself. He should own up to it. That doesn't mean posting useless updates to this thread (although to be fair, equally pointless solicitations for updates have been made consistently every week for an entire year). It means he allocates 2 hours in his weekend to dump **** in a box and drop it off at the post office. It means telling the people who want him to solder SMDs that they'll probably have to wait an indeterminate amount of time. Because, honestly? He _probably doesn't feel like soldering them or else he would've done it already_. And for the people who don't want to wait forever, they should suck it up and take the raw parts. Instead he posted a "I'm sorry. I'll be done soon. Thanks." I call that ridiculous. OTOH he's kept so many things secret I'm sure 400 other issues have come up in the complexity _he_ created (which is _not_ the same as a lack of foresight)Packaging this stuff is not just simply putting it in a box. Sprit did an awesome job in packaging and these may have been some of the reason of the delay. Doing all that meticulous packaging takes too much time. I was also like you before and is impatient and always asking for update but when I receive my order I almost cried upon seeing the packaging(I myself would have hate to do that detailed packaging) and felt guilty inside. Then I realize some peope(including me) are busy complaining and didn't realize how much effort sprit have put on this GB. There was also a time where sprit got sick and I assume it's because of the stress on this GB. This was my first GB and it thought me a lesson in participating in GB, and that is patience.
Just got an email today from Sprit.Nice, I wonder when he'll get around to shipping my R1 75% I paid for in January...
Apparently he has finished soldering my 75%, R2 board, and is planning to ship in a week.
Springs are shipping with it, so I'll have plenty to do on the weekends. This makes 3 boards I need to assemble, along with the LZ-B8, and B.87r.
Well I still wait for my R1 60%. At least some orders seems to get to people so I still have faith.
I don't blame him, I just think that he managed to get himself into a bigger group buy than he probably should have, but as long as he manage to send the orders to everyone I think we will all be happy. And it's not worse than the GH60 group buy either. This all seem like a HUGE amount of work and I raise my hat to him in that regard. But I will be happy when I get mine, so I keep faith!
Good to know some people are getting updates and lead times, even though I'm a bit dumbfounded as to the prioritizing of some R2 orders over the remaining R1.
Has anyone received a PM yet?
Cottonsox received his TKL from sprit a while ago.Show Image(https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xpa1/t31.0-8/1531983_1447166862212556_5714154579362631987_o.jpg)
I've already inquired about lilky's situation with Sprit, but from his reply, I'm not sure if he confused the names limitz and lilky.

I ordered a R1 TKL so I'm curious. I only see 2 layers there -- is that correct? Because I remember ordering black/clear/black :confused:
I just wanted to throw in that it might help alleviate some peoples' worries/frustrations if there was an update every week or two weeks for instance, even if its just to say "We're still waiting on these guys to finish soldering, currently I'm expecting these to be finished in two weeks, these in four."
Still, this is my final warning to sprit, if I don't get a thorough update within 14 days I will call PayPal to get my money back!dude I have been waiting since new years, he is obviously doing his best to finish as fast as possible, getting a chargeback will only slow the process for everyone else in the GB. Only way if you want to get your money back is to contact either sprit or zeal, but please have som patience

There is no reason to call him a scamer, it is unfair, and people will realize that soon.
Have you tried to contact Sprit via e-mail? Every time I've sent him an e-mail he answered it, I had updates all the time during the GB. People have to accept that a GB of this size takes time and all kind of problems can arrise.
Last time I talked with him he said that the 60% are ready next week and he will start shipping. In this huge GB only the PCB's had some delays and that was due to manufacturing problems. All the other items were shipped in a timely manner, cases, springs, people already use them.
There is no reason to call him a scamer, it is unfair, and people will realize that soon.
Just to chip in, I was part of the R1's. I paid up on the Nov 2013, and only received it on May this year. So that's like 7 months, give or take.
He has responded to most of my pm's before. Maybe just 1 or 2 that he might have missed out but other than that, he responds even after I receive my stuff.
I know some R1's order might not been fulfilled yet but I hope you give him some time. Eventually, he will pull through as you all know he is just a one man army.
Just hope sprit is doing fine.

My R1 invoice is dating back to January, still waiting for the order :-(
I've sent 3 pms over the past few months asking for updates but no response. He might not be checking his inbox or only responds to some people. The time for refunds is long gone so we can only keep waiting and hoping.Afaik he only answers mails atm, but I guess you can PM zeal and he can submit your request!

I'm starting to get a little bit worrysome.Guys, don't forget that I am also in the R1 order, and am still waiting for my PCB. I understand everyone's been patient, and some are losing their patience, but I have no reason to doubt that Sprit will get everything shipped out. I've met with him in person, and have told him that the community would appreciate more updates. I think he's been really busy since I haven't heard back yet either. The moment I get an update, I'll be relaying it here.
I've PM'd Zeal a few times, and it seems sprit responds to him quite quickly. However, I asked Zeal if he could ask Sprit for an ETA, and Zeal responded back with a message from sprit saying my order should be ready in a week, nearly 3 weeks ago.
I've also emailed sprit to see if I can order some additional springs, and just to check up on my order with no response.
So at this point, I'm really worried. Getting them later isn't a huge deal, but how much later? And also, given the low amounts of availability on certain switches, I'm concerned that I won't be getting the proper switches. ( A few sets of MX clears and various others )
Main problem is lack of transparency, and all of these updates with casing changes and what not. I've been patient more than long enough, as with many others. I think we all demand an answer. ETA's, what's left, are all the PCB's ready with or without SMT components?
+1 for demanding some sort of status update.Plates were done a while ago, and were shipped with the 60% Acrylic cases to me. Charging back your order would only be hurting me (I'm just the proxy for NA), since you ordered from my site. :(
I don't think anyone here knows the status of production, are the plates done? are the cases done? etc?
no one has any idea, and I get that charge backs are a PITA, but its starting to look like a path I may be taking.
I'm starting to get a little bit worrysome.Guys, don't forget that I am also in the R1 order, and am still waiting for my PCB. I understand everyone's been patient, and some are losing their patience, but I have no reason to doubt that Sprit will get everything shipped out. I've met with him in person, and have told him that the community would appreciate more updates. I think he's been really busy since I haven't heard back yet either.

^That's the picture I just took of your clear plate, Jixr. Only thing I'm waiting for are the 60% PCBs. Acrylic case orders were already sent out a month ago.
60% R2 PCB production picture can be found here (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=50580.msg1456767#msg1456767). Sprit mentioned somewhere that there were some SMD problems, but he's fixed the issue. It's really the only thing holding me back from shipping. :/
that case is real pretty :)
Hi Zeal,
Does it mean that you currently have everything of my R1 orders except the 60% pcb? And you will send my order out when you receive those 60% pcbs?
(My order includes 60% pcb, 60% acrylic case, 87% pcb, and several leds. Can't remember if there is anything else.)
Thank you for your effort, and the picture of this lovely case could make a better world.
Have you tried to contact Sprit via e-mail? Every time I've sent him an e-mail he answered it, I had updates all the time during the GB.
He hasn't replied to mine, are you using the gmail adress given from Paypal?
long time no update with this thread, is the R2 ready to ship yet? :( Man I'm dying waiting for this to get my Viper done :(Nah the r1 isn't even finished yet unfortunately
Who would i need to contact to change my shipping information? ( for NA distribution )Zeal :)
I'm moving in Feb, I doubt this GB will even begin to come close to shipping by then.
I know Zeal has been very helpful and patient, but at this point I think Sprit owes everyone here an update. A very thorough update.
Just a warning to anyone who's planning on ordering for R2: DON'T. This groupbuy is a scam.
Orders for R2 shouldn't be worked while R1 orders are still outstanding... that's just bad business.Just a warning to anyone who's planning on ordering for R2: DON'T. This groupbuy is a scam.
Chill bro, its not a scam its just taking a lot longer than expected due to unforseen complications. People are getting their orders, some before others but still, items are being sent. Its not even as bad as some other GBs around here.
Besides orders are already closed for R2.

I think the moral of the story is that it would be good to hear from Sprit directly, whatever the situation is. It is not the first GB to get delayed, just explain the situation and the community will try to help I am sure.
It's been way too long. And the updates we got over the past months, are just things gonna been sent out in a x week of time. But it ends up nothing. And now there's not even an update.
We need to know what's wrong with the stuff, and we could sort it out.
I'm getting upset by the delays. Every time I'm let down.
I agree to the complains. But the main point is: what can we do? We can’t get our money back, isn’t it? Any proposals or ideas?
I agree with MrChunky. I will try I contact sprit and see if there are any updates. I talked with him 2 weeks ago.
Please don't start something that will block this GB and create problems for the organizer.

Does this mean R3 will be delayed even more? I talked to sprit but the only times he replied promptly was after I told him I filled out the order. Then he sent his invoice on Paypal soon after. Should I be worried? At this point I feel that waiting months to get this case is not worth it anymore...Yeah I wouldn't suggest anyone to join this GB at this stage since sprit is really busy with all the r1 orders
Not even the R2 orders?
Not even the R2 orders?
As far as I know, no one has gotten their r2 order yet. It will probably be months or over a year like some of the others before they get their orders.
So the only thing we're all waiting is PCBs? Right?I'm waiting on a fully assembled 87 :-[
Does the 75% model 3 support the Race 2 keyboard?
So the only thing we're all waiting is PCBs? Right?
I just got my shipping order for my R3 order from sprit!
Sprit replied that my air parcel was sent and gave me my tracking number. He also stated that it should take 10-14 days.Does your order include also a PCB ?
No, I only ordered the 60% acrylic case. Also, he sent me this info when I asked for a refund on the case. Nevertheless, I'm happy that it's shipping.
As far as I was aware he was only going to hand solder R1 PCBs and get R2 factory done, and the delays for R2 was due to not hitting MOQ for that factory soldering.
A few of us at least, perhaps more than a few, would be happy to do the soldering ourselves if it would get our R2 orders sent out faster and reduce Sprit's workload.
yup. If no update by the first i'm pulling my money out.
I don't have any updates either :( I'm disapointed, I had plans for the case, the PCB not to mention the springs.
In the mean time I have bought 2 GON PCB's, springs from originative and GON a nice alu case from taobao and a second one from Massdrop.
Now I don't know what to say, I still don't see this GB as a scam and at some point we will get the stuff. But by then I don't think I will need it anymore .... maybe it will be just something nice to build
yup. If no update by the first i'm pulling my money out.
Sorry, didn't Zeal picture your items except for one thing?
Seems you're being pretty rash. Ask if you can pay shipping again later for that item and take the bulk of your stuff now.
edit: here's a link https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=50580.msg1535911#msg1535911
You questioned the completion of plates & cases, I showed you a pic of the acrylic case & plate.yup. If no update by the first i'm pulling my money out.

No, zeal posted a picture of AN item, not my item. And I'm waiting for the PCB along with everyone else.
I've gotten no email replies, no PM replies, no updates, etc. And have since bought other keyboards while waiting for this one.
I don't plan to stick around for a 1 year+ to get my order.
If the PCBs are what's holding up my order, then let me just have everything except the PCB and you can refund me the price of the PCB. I will find another PCB and build my keyboard myself.

I'd also like to take this option if possible.

Alright folks, I've got an update from Sprit.
Sprit will be receiving the remaining springs from the factory today, and will commence shipping this week for sure. He aims to have everything shipped out by the end of the month. I'll be taking care of all NA orders (Cases, PCBs, Switches, [Canadian/some US] springs etc), so you guys can be expecting a shipping invoice soon. I'll provide an update once I've authorized an import with DHL to Sprit's place. According to my DHL importing quote, it should only take 1 business day (since Korea's 16 hrs ahead of PST, the package sort of travels back in time :)) )
Thanks for hanging in there everyone.
First off. Just want to thank Zeal for acting as the intermediary during this whole process.Metal plates have been cancelled in R1 & R2 due to low order count.
I'm curious to know whether there has been any progress on the 4mm metal plates from R1. I don't mind waiting if there is, but otherwise I may have to consider alternate plans.Just curious: any progress with alps pcbs / cases?That's for next year's project. Gotta focus on finishing up R1 & R2 first.
Cheers,
K
Apology!
I was in my Job trip last 10 days.
I will fix the R1, R2 Orders to send.
I will message to each person.
feel so quilty.. :(
Apologies for the lack of posts. I returned back from Asia late Friday, and jetlag's been really messing with my schedule. Living off of free WiFi for a week is also a PITA when most require you to already have a cellphone # with the Asian cellphone carrier :))
So while I was in Taiwan, I arranged to meet Sprit for 2 days in Korea. We talked a bunch, and I've asked him about updates and schedules for everything.
R1 - He's focusing on hand soldering all the remaining PCBs. To speed up the process, remaining R1 60% PCB orders will be swapped with presoldered R2 PCBs when they come out from the factory sometime this/next week. He told me that he wants to finish soldering the remaining R1 orders within a month's time. No more new group buys from Sprit until R1 and R2 are complete.
R2 - Non 60% PCB size orders: Orders for these other sizes are very low, and will most likely have to be hand soldered with Sprit's existing R1 75%/87%/100% PCBs.
@henz
60% acrylic plate fits 3 of the standoffs on the FMJ case.
I'm starting to get a little bit worrysome.Guys, don't forget that I am also in the R1 order, and am still waiting for my PCB.

At this point. I think the GB threads should be removed from the GB compilation thread. Why is Sprit still taking orders on this thread, 60% board, and springs?
...
Is it even possible to get a refund from Paypal if you paid almost a year ago? Or would Sprit have to issue the refund on his end?I tried to but only managed to get a negative mark on sprit's account. His account will probable get deleted if more people do it but I don't know if it will help anyone of us.
The question is: when is the timeout of this "hope & wait"? Each one of us has a different tolerance span. For me it is 31. dec. 2014.
Guys I have great news, just got an e-mail from sprit. Things are starting to move. I think he will post more detailed updates, he sent me photos of a big pile of packages including mine :) I will post mine:Great news! You mind asking for my package aswell? Don't have his email and he isn't answering skype :(Show Image(http://imgur.com/4p01L4a.jpg)

people started received stuff some six months ago if I remember correctly. There were postings about sprit-boards in other threads. I just think the amount of work is highly underestimated by most people... how many boards can you handsolder in one week, working a fulltimejob having a family. Yes communication at this point sucks... but I rather SEE people receiving stuff time and time again than reading "next month..." over and over again.Then don't commit to such a task. Many people have offered to solder the boards themselves but we have recieved no answer

I'm not saying that anyone should ask for a refund since it's selfish and only makes the situation worse for the others but there should be a much better communication from spritpeople started received stuff some six months ago if I remember correctly.

I know that, I offered to solder myself as well. I don't try to sugar coat or defend the guy... it's just a plausible explaination.
It's already done... too late to advice not to commit either... so what should we do? Most people already waited for about a year... so right now is it really worth it trying to get refunds, upping the pressure and ****ing the whole GB up? In my opinion: No.
And what after people would receive refunds... they go stick that money in another GB where they will maybe only have to wait a few months more till they receive anything there.
It is possible that sprit is in a particularly difficult situation right now for whatever reason, hence no answers.
Just to reiterate, when was the last time anyone has heard from him? I know Daniel got an email from him 3-4 weeks ago now (correct me if I am wrong). What about Zeal? Did you hear anything at all recently?

Its a bit hard to see due to the clear plate and that I already have a switch soldered in, but the right of the switch has the notches for easy opening, while the left side doesn't.
So for the esc. key, I'd have to desolder it to change the switch stem.
( note this is not a Sprit PCB )
Guess its just more disappointment from this buy though, which is sad, because the plate is otherwise amazing.

I have asked Sprit regarding the "missing" two switch cut out on the left of Esc a while ago, and he told me that it adds rigidity to that top left acrylic plate. If it had extra cutouts, the top left corner would be a lot more fragile, as it's already missing the top support due to mini usb cut out.

Hi, mind telling what PCB size did you order please?
I ordered just a 60% pcb and I haven't even received a shipping confirmation. Is there any way I can check on my order? I PMed sprit but he didn't reply.I should send email for him. I have received tracking number via email :)
Dude, don't post e-mails and other personal data, it's not OK on a public forum :(Ok. Thanks your advice :) Modified
I know your intentions were good but it's not OK
Wait what?:) Just be patient, sprit has a lot of shipping to do, your turn will come.

@DanielT would you mind to post some photos?Yep, I'll do that tomorrow, it's a really nice package :cool:
I'm just confused and I may have missed it, but is Zeal still shipping out orders for North America?
Got mine today (thanks Sprit and Zeal). Going to take a few pictures as I put it all together, but it looks super nice. The acrylic plate is cracked in a few places, but I don't think it will affect anything really.
Super excited to out it together; not looking forward to stickering the switches though.
It is a Karma...
I feel myself a sinner, stupid, been too long to finalize this GB.
The rest of stuffs are in my hand to ship, PCBs and Cases are still up to date.
I would love to fulfill all the shipping by January whatever the reason!
Really grateful for Everybody!! :thumb:
*added : I am doing emailing to reconfirm Address, and answering back on the order details one by one.
It takes time, and watch on this Please! ;)

Sprit, can you let me know what we're doing regarding the ALU plates? I placed an order for I think 1 or two of them, and I want to know what I'll be getting in exchange for it.
For the metal plate, it has been changing it to 5mm Acrylic plate, refund, or add some additional parts.
email sent!
Hello! Guys! ;)

As one of the people who received the stuff I can say this: only by looking at the packaging the shipping part is a time consuming operation. Each little piece is individualy packed, the package can take a direct hit and nothing could be damaged. So have patience it is worth waiting.

sprit does a great job with the packaging. Ordered springs almost a year ago and really liked the presentation :)
Other half of me is just so eager to assemble and document my build! Have 62 vintage blues with clear switch tops just ready to go.
Can someone link me to a picture of what the 75% looks like?
Still waiting for shipping invoice for 87%
Hello are there any assembly guide? I'm not sure how to mount my PCB to the case.. and how to mount the triangle feet
Hello are there any assembly guide? I'm not sure how to mount my PCB to the case.. and how to mount the triangle feet
I don't have a Sprit case but I think it is just like most cases in that you put the screws through the screw holes in the PCB into the threads in the case. It may be a different kind of case in which in the PCB hangs and in that case(no pun intended) you need to attach the plate to the case. There should be screw holes in the plate and the case for you to attach it all together kind of like in an ergodox.
Here is a picture of a case in the first scenario:MoreShow Image(http://i.imgur.com/RZ9Xd5u.jpg)
See how it has threads for screws.
In this person's build of a Sprit kb he/she in fact screws the PCB into the case like I said. Keep in mind that there might be holes for screws on your PCB where there aren't threads for screws on your case and vice versa. Just put in screws where they line up.MoreShow Image(http://i.imgur.com/VBn0lIB.jpg)

Just in case that is not how your case looks(I know there are a few versions of the sprit case), here is how you would do it the other way.
The plate might act as the top of the keyboard and then you would need to put screws through the holes on the plate and the rest of the layers of the case. For example you can see here how the screws go through the plate and all the way to the bottom of the case.MoreShow Image(http://i.imgur.com/4l2AOI5.jpg)
So just got around to building it, and I think I got the wrong model?
I paid for a Model 2 slim, which is 2 layers and a plate.
I think I got a Model 1, which is 3 layers and a plate.
EDIT: Just measured the thickness. 24mm thick, which means I got the wrong order.

Hello are there any assembly guide? I'm not sure how to mount my PCB to the case.. and how to mount the triangle feet
I don't have a Sprit case but I think it is just like most cases in that you put the screws through the screw holes in the PCB into the threads in the case. It may be a different kind of case in which in the PCB hangs and in that case(no pun intended) you need to attach the plate to the case. There should be screw holes in the plate and the case for you to attach it all together kind of like in an ergodox.
Here is a picture of a case in the first scenario:MoreShow Image(http://i.imgur.com/RZ9Xd5u.jpg)
See how it has threads for screws.
In this person's build of a Sprit kb he/she in fact screws the PCB into the case like I said.

Hi thanks a lot for the explaination!! I've get it now, spirit gave me the thread but not the screw that's fits the thread (I've been trying the screw ment for the triangular leg for the thread) Seems like I've to get some screw for it, may I know the size of the screw?

Hi zeal, may I know if spirit send thread for mounting the pcb along with the screw thats fit into it? or do i have to get it myself?
I'm not sure. If so I'm an idiot.
However, in the Model 2, it doesn't look like the upper plate is flush with the lower plate. While in my case, it's clearly a 3-layer design and everything is flush.
I haven't received the weekly update, yet.
Also will I get my personal update anytime soon, sprit?
Man, I'm really bummed that I just found this thread today. I seriously want one of those Model 3S acrylic cases.
No worries, I'll try and find it myself. I've just been searching around to see if there's some sort of document/order form that I need to PM or email.Man, I'm really bummed that I just found this thread today. I seriously want one of those Model 3S acrylic cases.
I believe you can still put orders in. If not, Zeal is doing stuff as well. He should have the parts for the model 3 case. I'm on my mobile right now, so I really don't feel like linking it.
aaand, he is gone...

Some people have lives. I on the other hand do not.
I ordered the case last Friday, and he got back to me with the invoice pretty quickly and confirmed my address. He told me he would have it out on Monday, but the posts I'm seeing here have got me pretty nervous.

Indeed. I don't see how people are okay with this. I'm one of the many who are still waiting on orders paid on October 2013.

I think that more people should be vocal about this. It's honestly quite unfair in my opinion.

We are on the same boat. It's unethical to leave our long awaited orders open while fulfilling new ones.

I'll chime in. I've sent a PM and email to sprit with no response. I'm also part of R1. My inital order had 1 PCB, 1 aluminum plate (which I have found out fairly recently that the metal plates were scrapped and I prefer to have no plate than acrylic) and some springs from his other buy which he did message me saying that he still had remaining from R1 so it should be shipped with my order. No stabs ... no case. So I have been waiting this entire time basically for 1 PCB? Fun ... :rolleyes:
I've said it before and I'll say it again. This GB needs to be delisted from the GB master list, and Sprit needs to stop taking new invoices until more existing orders have been filled. It seems like only dozens, out of the hundreds of participants have received anything at this point.

You're the second poster to make the claim that Sprit is acting unethically, and I was wondering if you'd explain what you mean by that?
This is not fair. A lot of people received their orders, I received my order and am very pleased with the comunication.
There are more snail GB's here it's ti be expected. I was part of Round 5 SPH Honeywell by 7bit, sold my order, it's been more than a year and no caps delivered. But still it's a correct GB only slow.
SPRiT is doing a nice job, he is one man so bear with him :thumb:
but my personal experience here is that Sprit has been very helpful and responsive for the several times I had questionsMaybe, but I think your personal experience is statistically insignificant. He is not responsive to most of us. And I’m not pleased seeing peoeple here who try to whitewash the problems. I agree to limitz’s criticism, this GB is a huge mess, because sprit reneges his promises again and again. Shall I post a short overview of all the promises he gave me? Probably I will ...
Seemed only 60% orders have been shipped for now. But no sign of other size orders.
Hello!
110% PCBs' controller parts installed and firmware test done. Only need to solder diodes for 110 Switches.
Its quite simple job but takes a couple of hours time.
So sorry for that !
If you are OK for solering diodes, i am shipping enough 2 types of diodes with PCBs.
I just go my order which was one of the ones he showed going out.You, sir, must have the devil's luck to get your first order in May, and then another one recently.
Mine was not a R2 order. I just got my second R1 order.I just go my order which was one of the ones he showed going out.You, sir, must have the devil's luck to get your first order in May, and then another one recently.
As one of the R1 60% orders who is still waiting on reply's/goods, it is disconcerting that Sprit continues to take and ship new R2 orders. I think it's only reasonable to fulfill the orders as they were received, and possibly stop taking orders until the queue has been addressed.
Also, I don't understand why Sprit can't or won't send out R2 boards to fulfill R1 orders as he seems to have boxes of them.
That being said I'll continue to wait and hope for the best, because I have to at this point.
The only sad part of this is that when the GB started, it started with pcb only and the timeline was like 5 weeks. This was the main reason I got into this GB because I didn't want to get stuck in a super big GB like GH60 that never ends. But then Sprit added cases options and stabilizers options and springs options and started a round 2 and even a round 3 and even if he's delivering some stuff, things went way too big way too fast and he got some unexpected problems with the pcb not having all parts factory soldered.
I am not mad at him at all, I think he only got stuck into all of this. I just hope he could find a way to calm things, make a realist schedule and send things following this schedule (no crazy deadlines, no need to freak out with dates, just something in the likes: In the next to week I will send the stuff for people A,B and C, then the next 2 weeks it will be people D,E and F, etc.) This way we would only need to wait until it's our turn to receive our stuff.
Right now, people are stuck hoping to get their stuff at some point because even if Sprit send some stuff, it's not enough to convince everyone he will be able to deliver everything. If Sprit manages to make things more clear as to what we should all expect as a schedule for our stuff it would help a lot probably.
Relax people. I just go my order which was one of the ones he showed going out. This is not a scam. It is just a one man show and he is busy. Packing and shipping 100s of orders is a HUGE job and it takes forever. I know this because I own my own company and I do all of our shipping. I am confident everyone will get their stuff. I am willing to bet you will all get your stuff before the GH60 buy finishes. That one as well is NOT a scam and we will all get our stuff in due time...
GBs are not easy and they take a lot more work than anyone realizes. I talked to Sprit on the phone about 6 months ago and said that everything is a lot more work than he expected and it was a lot slower than he was hoping. Then he got a new job and his spare time was drastically limited. He has been doing a good job getting stuff out again recently, but it is going to still be slow.
You try soldering over 100 keyboards and sorting over 100,000 springs and such... Its a ton of work. Then packing and shipping everything... Craziness...
Everyone needs to chill, he is not trying to scam anyone...
I can't speak for him, but I know that he had to get a specific MOQ for each PCB layout in order to get them factory soldered. I know he was short MOQ on some layouts for R2 for factory soldering, so that is very likely a reason why he is still taking orders and why R2 has been delayed. I know he had enough 60% orders, but the other layouts were short. I know he can't afford to solder everything like he did in R1. I think he was considering paying out of pocket to get those other layouts up to MOQ, but I think he was trying to avoid that since he is already heavily invested in this.Relax people.

I'm tired of the guys defending Sprit.
Nobody is saying this is a scam. Stop with this angle. I'm certainly not claiming Sprit is out to scam anyone.
However... continuing to take on orders... being EXTREMELY responsive to new orders (responding and invoicing in hours), then letting the backlog grow on old orders is unacceptable.
I get that soldering keyboards takes a long time. I understand. You claim that Sprit says that everything is more work than he expected. If this is the case, why is Sprit taking on new orders instead of clearing the massive backlog that he has now?

Does anyone know how to activate to switch between the function layers on the SPRit PCB?Guide here: Esc + Backspace gets you out of FN2 layer
I just put together a new build, and accidentally toggled a function layer. The bottom right keys now function as arrow keys :)
so... anyone in NA have received their order so far?
PLEASE HAVE MERCY SPRIT IT'S BEEN MORE THAN 1 YEAR
Although I certainly haven't been waiting even close to a year or more like some of you, but I'll at least post my interaction with him.
On Friday, January 9th, I placed the order early afternoon, and got the invoice from Sprit later that night. I paid for it, and we finalized a couple of the customization options. He told me that he would pack and ship my order on Monday. It's two weeks later, and I haven't heard anything. I emailed him, and am going to wait a little while for a response.
Although the Korea shipping estimate that I paid for states 1-2 weeks, I know it's not unreasonable for some products to take 6-8 weeks. That being said, 52+ weeks is absolutely insane in my opinion. Without updates of progress or whatever the heck is going on, I think the only feasible option is to speak with your wallet. Check your transaction on the Paypal website, because I know mine states that I can dispute up to 180 days after the transaction. For those who have been waiting almost six months, you may have an option if you don't want to wait any longer.
To everyone who has been waiting months, or even over a year; this sucks. There is definitely an issue here, and it is not being handled properly at all. When I can place an order and receive it in four weeks, when others have been waiting 52+ weeks, that's a goddamn problem.

and receive it in four weeks
four weeks
I sincerely hope things are moving along in this GB. Would it be too much to ask for status updates such as orders shipped, orders remaining?
If theres anything causing the shipping to be delayed could it be made known to us? i'm quite sure the participants would be willing to compromise to receive their order earlier.
I've emailed him and messaged him on this board several times.
What actions do we have available to us at the moment? I believe we can freeze his paypal account due to scamming*, and we may be able to get the forum administrators on this somehow too..
* regarding scamming: While some people have received their order, I will still call this scamming-esque. It varies a lot whether you get a response or not, whether you get your order or not.. It all depends on Sprits mood when you contact him it seems. When people can get their order within a year and others have to wait 2+ years there's clearly something very much wrong.
we can't freeze a paypal account after 90 days so that option is not viable, nor do I think it's effective. I do not believe sprit is out to scam, but freezing a paypal account makes it worse for both parts. Sprit looses money if he ships it out, which he won't if that's the case, and we don't get our money back. Best think we can do right now is to wait and hopeI've emailed him and messaged him on this board several times.

"Justice" is not particularly useful. One might feel better for a moment in knowing that someone does not have access to their PayPal account, but it will eliminate even a slight possibility that Sprit will ship out the orders. I would personally rather there was less justice and more keyboards.
I am not just speaking theoretically. Sprit owes me 700 USD or 3.5 keyboards from November.
In any case I have a proposal! I suggest we fill in the form below with the details of our orders. This way we will at least have a rough idea of how many orders are not fulfilled and maybe we can find commonalities to draw conclusions from. This could possibly allow to push Sprit in the right direction... Maybe. Or at least have an idea if there is any progress on those orders created in 2013.

I think Sprit is doing everything he can to not get his paypal account freezed. That's prob why he prioritizes the newer order since those can report to paypal if they don't get the keyboard. WE are already too late
I feel like Sprit is just a guy and he's trying his best to deliver to everyone that placed an order. But when you're faced with moving a mountain of orders, it might be easiest for him to fill the easy orders at the top rather (the 60% boards) rather than the more difficult ones that require soldering and whatnot. I just think that threatening him is probably encouraging him to clam up.

Good idea although I don't know if Sprit will actually read that. I submitted a response. Turns out I have $170 tied up in this buy.

Tell me what you think of the idea and comments on the form. Thanks:)
Good idea although I don't know if Sprit will actually read that. I submitted a response. Turns out I have $170 tied up in this buy.
I don't think it is for Sprit to read. I presume he should have something like this of his own. For some reason he does not want to make public.
Zeal, would you like to chime in? Do you still have contact to sprit?

I don't have any comments as I'm not associated with the distribution of this buy.
Sprit's does go quiet sometimes, but then when he comes back there's always a huge update. Hopefully we'll hear from him soon during Lunar New Years.
There's no reason to collect orders, have them produced and not distribute to "scam" you guys. I feel that he's just swamped with fulfillment right now. :/

That's assuming all the orders have been produced. There's a strong possibility that not everything has been produced. Why else would the 2013 orders still be lagging, while the new orders get filled?

Swamped with fulfillment as he may be, he was still able to take my money last month, process my order, and have it on my doorstep in less than four weeks.Zeal, would you like to chime in? Do you still have contact to sprit?

Well, I am one of those that has given money for the first round back in the beginning of this GB. I am still waiting for the fulfillment. I just want to post my opinion on this topic.
Is this a scam? -- No, not for me... and even if so, I had the money back then and I knew it could take a while until I receive anything. (or maybe nothing and it would/will be an experience, a costly tho)
Is this GB slow? -- Yes, incredibly so...
Should Sprit hold orders until he fulfilled a certain amount of orders? -- If was him, I would certainly... but it's his choice and the choice for the people that order...
But, thats just my 50Cts
Would you mind adding your order to the roster here, so we can keep track of people who might receive their orders? I think it would help clarify the situation in the long run.

What exactly is the point of this form?
Happy new year!! I am finalizing your HHKB, plz wait a week or so!! Thanks !!Sprit wrote that to me on 2nd of January, yes, that was six weeks ago. I don’t want to get fooled anymore. Please administrators, interrogate sprit, whether he wants to stay silent or explain his problems. If he prefers to stay silent measures should be taken!
Exactly, and in the end of the day we have a record of what is happening. Which is valuable in it self if any future misunderstanding arise.What exactly is the point of this form?
We're (well, you. I'm not in this GB) not trying to jog Spirit's memory; we're trying to get a handle on how big the problem is, and if there're any clear common denominators ("Oh look, Spirit hates shipping to Virginia and Texas") so that if/when we actually get ahold of Spirit again, we'll have an understanding of why he's falling behind, or at least can collectively bargain instead of being a teeming mass of unfulfilleds.
Considering how lopsided things are, I'd recommend everyone fill it out. Even just having links to it on every page will make new buyers understand what they're getting into.
I've ordered 4 complete sets. 2x TKL, 2x 108. Plus other goodies, and extra sets of plates. No response from Sprit since him saying My order should be shipped out in 2 weeks back in October. I'm not sure what to do now...If it has been less than six months since you sent payment, then you can dispute it on PayPal and either get a response or get a refund.

we can't freeze a paypal account after 90 days so that option is not viable, nor do I think it's effective. I do not believe sprit is out to scam, but freezing a paypal account makes it worse for both parts. Sprit looses money if he ships it out, which he won't if that's the case, and we don't get our money back. Best think we can do right now is to wait and hopeI've emailed him and messaged him on this board several times.
What actions do we have available to us at the moment? I believe we can freeze his paypal account due to scamming*, and we may be able to get the forum administrators on this somehow too..
* regarding scamming: While some people have received their order, I will still call this scamming-esque. It varies a lot whether you get a response or not, whether you get your order or not.. It all depends on Sprits mood when you contact him it seems. When people can get their order within a year and others have to wait 2+ years there's clearly something very much wrong.
+1. The situation is unacceptable. Freeze his Paypal account unless we receive our stuff before a specific timeline. Four weeks from now?

Reporting him to PayPal for scamming and closing his account ensures he wont take money from more people. It wont give us our money back nor the product we ordered, but at this point I don't think the majority of us will get either of those anyway. We have not heard from sprit for ages, he does not reply on our emails or private messages and yet he keeps sending out invoices..

Refund requested (PM and mail)
I've been in many GBs since the Changdrew's scam (remember?) but now i've found myself too old to wait geological eras to get something that is become obsolete in the meanwhile and the GBs are more and more risky these days.I'm only getting involved in GB's from people with solid track records now (Ivan, Feng, Ctrl[Alt] etc). I had a feeling this was going to turn to **** after sprit sent me my 60% with no soldering done and kept adding more and more stuff onto his plate without clearing out existing orders.
So no more GBs for me (except the glorious GH122 when it will be).
So is it safe to say this has been a scam now? Sprit has showed me pictures of my alleged keyboard but has not answered after I asked when he would ship it. I'ts been over 15 months now...
Just wondering.
What is the turnaround time on one of these?
Did a rough calculation on the form. So far from submitted responses Sprit has approximately 4000USD of undelivered stuff...
yeah.Or there might be a manufacturing issue
My guess is that it something went wrong and ended up costing him more money than he had. A flaw in production or something, and he is unable to produce the boards without more money, and does not want to spend his own money in fixing the problem, and god knows we won't send him more.
A few thousand dollars in free ( and continually growing ) money is awfully tempting to hold onto an run as well.
I really have no hope in this GB at all. very sad to see.

I don't seriously think sprit is out there to scam anyone. It's painfully obvious that he's simply overwhelmed with the amount of orders and parts requiring shipment. Many outstanding orders from 2013 and early 2014 have yet to be shipped, yet he's been taking new orders since then and fulfilling them. Sprit has been transparent about the issue with some R1 PCBs needing manual soldering, but when customers have requested them to be shipped as is (myself included, sprit has been completely unresponsive or failing to meet a promised shipping date.
So, it really comes down to one question knowing all this: why is sprit been allowed to take in new orders for so long while unfulfilled orders exist from 2013? Surely, the admin team must feel like they can at least prevent this from happening which would help pressure sprit to finish the long overdue orders.
My proposal, let's appoint a meeting in the Geekhack IRC Chat. It’s to tedious to talk via Forum Posts.
He was last on Jan 11.Well yesterday was korean new year, not sure if that's an excuse to be absent for over a month...
What is sprits real name and adress? Why not appoint a meeting in the GH IRC Chatroom, where we all can discuss further measures? E. g. which mediator to chose, who travels to Korea trying to contact sprit. We could pay a bailout fee to this mediator, how about 10 $ everyone?

No one is going to travel to Korea to try to handle this. We've had buys go wrong with over $100K stolen and it still never came to that.

Was that how much DrugER scammed? I always thought it was much lower than that, but if it was $100K... then holy ****.
yeah, I know all these group buys are buyer beware, but a mod should at least move this off the group buy page where sprit and zeal are still sucking money out of people with no intent on delivering.Sprit isnt invoicing though, he hasn't been on GH for over a month...

well gg... I'll be calling PayPal tomorrow to see what happens. If he's already cashed out, more than 100% he already did, we're all SOL.
To those that got your boards, real happy for ya'll.
And noone checked the identity of sprit before sending him money? No adress with name etc.? And this with sending him about 100,000 $? I can hardly believe that.
Of course someone knows his identity. What would you do with this information?
Yes waiting for a refundIf you don't mind me asking, are you waiting for a refund from paypal or from Sprit? Also, when did you place your order? I placed my order over a year ago, and would love to get a refund if it's even possible at this point.
Myself is satisfied with the return of my 300 usd and an apology

Don't think that PayPal care about any refund now after more than 1/2 year after settled payment and don't think that they to give me any apology either - no I want my money back or even better my stuff that I ordered and also the apology from Sprit.
did you get your money back or is it just a possible scenario?
I don't think Zeal is actually getting any money from the products that haven't been delivered. he received products from SPRiT (which he did ship out to paying customers from his website. plenty of build logs can be found all over the Internet) but then SPRiT went missing and he is just as upset with it as some of you guys are, as he was paying for those to stock on his website as well.
it's NOT some sort of weird collaboration scam, but I can't really answer for SPRiT at all - I'd guess something came up and he's choosing the weak route for dealing with it (hiding until things are sorted).
tl;dr: don't give Zeal crap for this, he's not receiving any of the production money for SPRiT's buy.

To clear this up one more time:
Zeal has nothing to do with this group buy. The Simply 60 buy consisted of a batch order that he placed with sprit. Once that was fulfilled, he put the GB up on his own site. Do NOT PM/e-mail Zeal for inquiries about this GB.
I'm not saying Zeal has a responsibility but I'd appreciate he could contact Sprit to bring up the situation, as he appears to be the only contact now.
Or if he doesn't want to do us a small favor, we have to do something more. As there is other member having his contact, how about we mail or even call him?

Guys this is a bit of a longshot but I'd like to gauge interest, would you be willing to partake in a kickstarter to fund a flight to Seoul in order to meet with Sprit in person and shed some light on the situation and see how we can come up with a solution about this mess?
As it happen I am involved in another order from Seoul as well regarding a leather jacket. A lot of people have been waiting for their jackets for over 18 months with little or no communication from the guy - a situation very similar to what we are experiencing here. Maybe by combining the resources of both communities I could gather the 1k$ necessary to meet both persons. What do you think?

All you can do is hope that he does show up.
Also, before you tell me that I probably didn't have any involvement in this buy, I will say that **** currently has yet to give me $400 worth of items I have purchased.

I guess it's my own fault for dropping $1100+ on a group buy the first time around. Frankly, I'm disappointed. Nothing I can do I guess than to learn from this. I'm more pissed off about the cases & switches than the PCB's tbh. Didn't need 4 different boards either.. my fault.
Most likely should have just disputed when days kept dragging on.

Guys. I’m sick of reading things like “we have to deal with it”. We don’t have to deal with it. We are just incompetent to organize ourselves as group, enganging a private inspector, or file a lawsuit, or taking measures. It is your own incompetence, including my incompetence. Organization needs a leader. We don’t have one. Organization needs willpower and diligence. We are lazy. But with the right amount of effort you can track everyone down.You really are going to fund a flight to South Korea, find out where he lives, and call and use a private investigator?
Maybe have 1 person message him, and deal with the information given, and please don't harass him if you do message him...If "him" means me,
Yep! And the boards are very nice!Maybe have 1 person message him, and deal with the information given, and please don't harass him if you do message him...If "him" means me,

I've pretty much written off this group buy.
I forget the other group buy, but this seems to be similar -- where one person starts a GB, something goes wrong, gets overwhelmed, stops responding, disappears from previously visited forums, and people who bought into the GB are out of thousands, tens of thousands of dollars.
moneys gone. Sucks to suck, but I figure one of 3 things happened.
1. Something physically happened to him,
2. he got too big for his britches and production cost more than he thought and he can't get it going.
3. he saw all the money people were willingly throwing at him, and cashed out.

companies don't give out details about other customers' transactions.
as far as the company is concerned, the gbo is the only customer and everyone is the gb is just a nobody. this is completely the right course of action, otherwise, we'd have random scammers calling the companies and refunding all the money back to themselves.

Hypothetically if he is actually trying to ship keyboards then these PMs are a waste of time

100x this. Don't bombard him. I have no doubt that Sprit is a good guy, and he is trying to get your orders out.
At this stage I'm sure refunds aren't an option as his funds have been invested into the products and to try and eek one out any way you can will simply destroy his motivation.
i'm not buying it.+1. Seriously, a flu is no reason for staying silent. I could post a note on Geekhack even if I lie in hospital. Since a long time not a single customer here showed pics of received parts / keyboard. So where is the progress?
The problem is we are suspecting him to turn bad. It's important to see how far our shipping goes, with transparency, to at least show us there is progress.Even when he was shipping the original buy out at a decent rate there was never any fast updates, just remember that if you overwhelm him progress will only be slower.

After the DrugER/JACKASS scam this story isn't the best overseas advertizing for koreans.
And this is really a pity
In hindsight saying that your keyboard is ready for shipping and asking to pay said shipping, and then not sending the keyboard 8 month, is a clear sign that something is very wrong. I would say the reason sprit showed up is because people from the Korean community started showing up with their concerns. He is probably still hoping to do some business in the future, and that somehow hurts him. I wouldn't hold my breath for anything moving forward until we see shipping really resumed.
After the DrugER/JACKASS scam this story isn't the best overseas advertizing for koreans.Yeah sprit actually did a similar trick on the korean community right before he started the group buy here :rolleyes:

You mean starting a group buy and leading people on, and then disappearing?

In some ways it's similar to a money changing scam I experienced.
The money changer would advertise high exchange rates (offering more than online exchange rates). He makes a couple of legitimate exchanges to attract customers. On subsequent customers (who've probably heard of these impossible rates), he would use a sleight of hand trick to give you the illusion that you've received the amount he counted. If you're observant, you'll be able to watch him sweep money under the desk as he hands the stack of notes to you. It's quite a decent magic show haha.

Hilarious... How does no one here raise concerns during the buy? Surely there is is enough crossover between communities. Well I am semi new to this and learning slowly that you should be very ****ing careful with putting money into people running things for the first time or without rock ****ing solid reputation.
It is such a convoluted scam. I just don't understand why he ships some things and then ****s other people over. Then ships massive orders to Zeal etc. The dedication to keep this going for year knowing you gonna **** all these people over is impressive, and disgusting.

Hello gayijeu end up with a problem like this idea.
연락한지 1~2년이 된 저에게도 스피릿님의 연락처를 물어보고 어떤분인가 궁금하다고 알려달라는 메일과 쪽지가 올정도니까요.
Contact after 1-2 years to ask anyone that has been the Spirit's contacts and mail a note asking us questions that I can almost come any minute applied.

Here is another rendering (from OneHourTranslation.com), not that it makes any difference:
I don't think that the HelloGuide issue has been settled.
It has been 1-2 years since the last contact, and many people have sent emails and messages asking for "Spirit's" contact information and who exactly "Spirit" is. I think that the trust of many Korean users has been lost due to this event. You may end up taking care of it, but it is my hope that our joint sales won't suffer to the extent we are worried, and that this will clear up. The days are still cold even though it is just about spring. Take care of yourself in all that you do.
That's all for now. Well, good luck.

I feel so bad for my self.
Sprit has been having health issues. I see he has shown up in here, but don't burry him with PM s and emails if you want him to get through the actual shipping.
When your package is packed up and ready he will probably contact you (he did that for me).
I understand what you say Swill, but the fear that most of us have is that Sprit could once again ship some stuff to 1-2 people so that we stop worrying and putting pressure on him and the disappear for 5-6 months again. It's been more than a year many of us ordered and got nothing yet. And up to now, there's still a high risk of getting nothing at all. While it is possible that Sprit was ill, we have no proof. And many group buys have ended up being scam so we all have legitimate fears.
All we ask is that he put up a list of shipping and actually start shipping it at a reasonable rate. If he ships 5 orders a week for 2 months, people will be happy even if it takes 2 month to get their stuff sent because at least they will know he is sending the stuff and that it's just taking some time because he needs to send a LOT of stuff. That's normal. But if he send stuff to 2 persons and then that's it for 6 months, we will believe that he will never send all the stuff we ordered and that's bad.
I myself have invested around 100$ in this and I am pissed to some extent that I received nothing yet. But many people ordered for MUCH more than me and are in the same situation I am and if I was down 1k$ I would be utterly pissed. Yet if he ends up delivering the stuff and keep putting some minimal updates all will get ok in time.
Hello Guys!Looking forward to it! Thank you Sprit.
I will update the list of recent shipping on this weekend.
Apology for the all troubles! All are my fault. :(

I understand. I got both my round one orders. Yes, he said he was going to get them in the mail and it took another month or so for them to get shipped. But I got them. I think everything just takes longer than he expects. He tries to keep everyone happy by telling them what they want to hear, but then it takes longer and people don't understand.He has told lies to us and to koreans.

Look at all the "shipping tomorrow or this week posts". Add PM's to that list. Yup, when you are told 3 times over a year your stuff will be sent during the next week and still receive nothing, you get suspicious and you loose faith at some point.
Do you want a complete list of all the promises he made fr 2013 until now?Those aren't lies, those are miscalculations and mistakes. Lies implies he is intentionally trying to mislead people. I don't think that is the case at all.

It will all work out. I have been back and forth with sprit a bit today regarding this. He is going to try to give weekly updates. Even if they are one line updates to say "I didn't have time to work on this this week".
Small steps to climb the mountain.
We entered a sales agreement with a promised shipping date, and that has been pushed many many times. This is a breach of contract.

Uhm? no you didn't. There is no 'contract' no legal binding agreement, or promise of anything. Group buys are basically giving money to strangers hoping they will provide you with what they are claiming they can provide.
I'm all against sprit, but you are owed nothing.

I must say I disagree with you. We paid for our stuff and it's Sprit's obligation to fulfill. Just that he's in Korea while we in other countries that makes it difficult for us to ensure this happens.

You aren't buying from a store.
@Swill Can you disclose for us please, _when_ you received _what_ (maybe with photo) from sprit? A few springs 1 years ago? Or a maybe a fully assembled keyboard 3 weeks ago?

@Swill Can you disclose for us please, _when_ you received _what_ (maybe with photo) from sprit? A few springs 1 years ago? Or a maybe a fully assembled keyboard 3 weeks ago?I received 2x 75% PCBs with clear acrylic plates and 1x 60% PCB with a clear acrylic plate. I had ordered aluminum plates, but he had some issues with them so we switched my plates to acrylic. I think he is only offering acrylic plates now. I also got over 1000 springs, kytox (sp?) oil lube and all the resistors and diodes to do all the smd work myself. I also got stabilizers.
Thanks @swill for the detailed report. I appreciate your note. But Your defence doesn’t consider one critical aspect: when someone is overwhelmed or in other ways unable to comply the verbal contracts, then he is obliged to refund the money. There is no reason to legitimate cutting communication and refusing to refund. And intentions can turn from good to bad. However, it doesn’t help to lose countenance and insult sprit (as limitz did). But it seems that a crime is going on, and I’m not happy about people here who defend this. Why? Because before I transferred my money to sprit I was sceptical. I would have never ordered something if there were not people like you who told me “sprit is reliable, trust me”.It's not that easy in a GB. Money is used to buy the products, it can't just be refunded on a whim.
and again, buyers of group buys have no right to a refund, exchange or replacement of products. The money is gone, the question is does he have the products?If you would look in the past couple of pages, we can assume he does, because there is a picture with a lot of plates and stuff with multiple other boxes filled as well.
Oh, so I see dead people in this thread :o
Anyway, regarding the "don't PM Sprit as he needs to focus on shipping", if he can ignore us for 3 months, he can ignore us for a bit more while he ships. I'm not too worried..
At any rate, I've given up on group buys completely. There's always bad time management, border-line bad communication leading to a bad experience.
This probably wont calm anything down but i think it'll be a positive data point. He just shipped my order plus another one yesterday, as well as another on the 18th. i don't know why he included those two other orders shipping numbers in my e-mail but things are looking back on track finally. Too bad i had just received my B.face from winkeyless that i caved in for....
may i ask you what are in those orders and when you paid for those?

If people didn't blindly throw money at everything that comes along and beg for more and more to be added perhaps these buys would turn out differently.
If sprit was scamming he wouldn't even try anymore. He's just one person who got in over his head trying to please everyone.
And it's amazing when a brand new member shows up with some random aluminum board etc no one thinks twice about throwing hundreds of dollars with little or no thought as to whether that person can deliver.

+1 we got enough of those <insert something here> in near 2 years time of waiting
tough crowd... :( apparently light hearted fun is not allowed. i must be logged into the wrong GH...
oh, and he just did what you guys are requesting. Notice tjweir's post...
Those updates are real hollow when he did the exact same thing in December, and nobody got their keyboards shipped. Several of the guys on the "To Ship Tomorrow" have been waiting 3+ months since that post.
Update Mar 22
[…]
- Going to Email this week :
Grendel, Xandr, echo0, JPG, RSSonic92, etc ... Still many to email *
I'm curious. How many of you on this list are from R1?
i think swill and tjweir are right, there is still a LOT of complaining.https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=68658.0
maybe someone should make a 'gb therapy' thread? complain in there and keep this thread for official updates?
i swear i posted in a gb therapy thread before....

Dude, you are getting updates, you should be happy about that. Give the guy a break ffs. He is obviously getting back into the swing of shipping stuff again. I am sure it is not very motivating to have to put up with you guys gripping and *****ing every time he checks the thread. Its this type of attitude that leads to radio silence.
You guys are pissing me off at this point and that is not an easy thing to do. I have been trying to get things moving here and getting Sprit to make updates and you guys respond with this crap. Jesus...
I recommend you never run a GB because I guarantee you we would all get shafted...Those updates are real hollow when he did the exact same thing in December, and nobody got their keyboards shipped. Several of the guys on the "To Ship Tomorrow" have been waiting 3+ months since that post.

No, Sprit's attitude caused this outlook on this GB. Not the opposite way around. As far as being happy about getting updates, it's been proven time and time again that Sprit's word is meaningless as he constantly breaks his own deadlines. How many users have been told that he's "shipping tomorrow" only to wait months? Telling me to be "happy" to get 2 updates in all of 2015 is ridiculous, it's almost April.
No thanks. Until I see some users actually receive their keyboards, I'll reserve judgment. Last time everyone lauded him for resuming shipping December, only a handful of users actually received anything as evidenced by the previous posts.
When you take in tens of thousands of other people's dollars, have half-assed communication, break your own promises numerous times, benefit of the doubt goes out the window.
It's a choice to be angry or supportive.
Why choose anger? Who benefits? Not Sprit, not you, not other people in the thread that are reading your complaints.

You are straight up neglecting to factor in reality. Sprit has invested his own money into this so he could get some board variants to moq because he did not have enough orders for him to keep his "promises". He has probably invested more of his own money in this than you have. You know how many different iterations of plates and cases he has gone through? No, of course not because you would rather sit there on your high horse and *****. I happen to know that the plates that you will own when you get your order will be better than the ones I own. I know this because sprit has improved his plates in this process based on mine and other first receivers feedback.
You probably shouldn't joint any more GBs because this attitude is guaranteed to sore them as well...
The thing is, sprit has proved he was trustworthy with the springs he has been shipping. He is a seasoned veteran at GB's, but there sometimes are unforseen issues that you don't expect or plan for, and this is probably what happened to sprit. Most people who have GB's that last longer than expected had no intention of it happening, and most of the time it is a manufacturing error, and usually they can't do anything about it.
>I recommend you never run a GB because I guarantee you we would all get shafted...
I certainly wouldn't make promises I can't fulfill, and then proceed to break them time after time. If I did that on my job, I'd lose it the 2nd time it happened. My issue with this GB is not so much the time, it's the lack of response, and how Sprit likes to break promises time and time again.
Why tell people you're going to ship, if you're going to disappear for 3 months? Why tell me you'll "ship tomorrow", extract a "shipping fee" from me, then not do anything/respond to messages?
>No, of course not because you would rather sit there on your high horse and *****.
Because it's apparently acceptable to take in tens of thousands, make unfulfilled promises, then leave for 2 months. How do you respond to the user, who had Sprit take money from him for shipping, tell him he's "shipping tomorrow" (in July 2014), and still hasn't shipped. You think that's acceptable?
>You probably shouldn't joint any more GBs because this attitude is guaranteed to sore them as well...
My attitude is caused by the organizer, not the other way around. Look at Ivan's GB's, look at the SIP mod GB, look at the dozens of other Kustom GB's. None have turned out like this.
The attitude of the users is a reflection of the GB. If you break promises numerous times, then don't expect the attitude of the users to be good. This is not a reflection of GH so much is it a reflection of how ****ty Sprit has been. You get out what you put in.
Sprit apologists like you only encourage other GB's to be run in a crap manner. It's unbelievable how you can still engage in victim blaming, when clearly it is the GB buyers that got shafted. I bet you'd be singing a different tune if you had $1,XXX in the GB, and haven't received product or message for over a year.

Just a heads up, there are still quite a bit of people that have been receiving their items or received their items already and just aren't posting that they got their orders from Sprit. :thumb:
if this is 'on the fence'...what exactly do you plan on doing when you 'cross the line'?
you talk like a terrorist dude....THIS IS NOTHING. TOMORROW, I WILL CUT OFF 10 HEADS!!!!
pls
EDIT:
seriously cut it out.
you're wasting people's time. don't be surprised if you're cut off from GBs in the future.

Lol, are we seriously jumping to hyperbole and equating this with terrorism? Lol. Incredible.
>don't be surprised if you're cut off from GBs in the future.
GH has such a victim blaming complex. Only person who should be cut off from GB's is Sprit himself... like he was in the Korean community.
>no. analogy. i said you were like a terrorist.
This is laughable. You need to look up the definition of terrorism. No seriously. Google it. Hint, it shouldn't be used in conjunction with keyboards.
"On the fence" means I'm highly skeptical to what the outcome of this most recent Sprit interaction will turn out to be due to historical precedent, and his poor track record.
I'd love to be proven wrong, and in fact, hope Sprit does.
>no. analogy. i said you were like a terrorist.BTW, your Korean sucks. That reads like English.

OK, I got you guys' feelings. The silly pics yesterday was just an head up.
I will just focus on updating shipping list every week. This will be a single guideline for now, Not to publish individual vague promises.
Beside the weekly Reconfirmation group email, separate personal emails may not get answered quickly.
All the simple parts orders had shipped out, PCBs and Case related orders are under shipping.
Hope we see the end of this GB soon. Thanks! ;)

I have just received a shipping update from Sprit.Fantastic news! :)
Pictures of my stuff have been sent and I just got a picture of the sent package this morning.
My springs and board are on their way here and I am so glad that this is turning out alright.
Hello!
After dinner, I am sending The Track for this week.

Same here with me. In the last days I received several E-Mails from sprit. He said my stuff is shipped now and I’ve got a tracking nr. When the stuff is finally in my hands, I will give you guys notice.
@fatchoi I paid around May / June 2014. In comparision to others here I “thank and rejoice” not until having the product in hands. I recommend that attitude.

Hello!
I am considering several big size orders to ship in 2 times, because 60% and 110% are difficult to pack together in a box. Some of the small parts are shipped to them during the springs proxy GB, or direct from me. Need to discuss in email soon.
Thank you!
@fatchoi I paid around May / June 2014. In comparision to others here I �thank and rejoice� not until having the product in hands. I recommend that attitude.
:(
Is it selfish to ask Sprit to ship my order first? It's a little bit scary given the commotion around the area, and I think it would be good to have one of the larger orders be shipped out first, so people know Sprit is able to keep his word.
I have just over $1000 worth of items from Sprit. 2 87%'s, 2 110%'s, cases, plates, switches, full set of springs, LED's.

Well, I hope this is the beginning of the end, but until my name is on the list followed by actual delivery- I remain aggravated. I paid in January of 2014 .Hi! Delkey!
Mail repliedBig Thanks! :thumb:
Sprit could we get an idea of the amount of orders left to fulfill?Hello ! definitely far less than 100, a little bit more than 50 shippings! :'(
Ok thanks! Hang in there!Sprit could we get an idea of the amount of orders left to fulfill?Hello ! definitely less than 100, a little bit more than 50 shippings! :'(

* added : Because Stabs, Springs, R2 orders had been added since last January, I am working on two Forms, comparing later changes, etc.
I see around 3-4 pages left to ship further from now. The 60% small R2 GB to meet the MOQ had all shipped out by Dec. Springs GB too.
Hi! Delkey!
Yours in my Form : PCBs, Plates, SWs, LEDs, Springs added...

Sprit is a machine... He is working through a lot of logistics to get everyone their orders. Great work buddy. Glad to see the updates and everyone in good spirits. :)No kidding, I put in a spring order around midnight my time, and it was shipped out with a couple of extra springs within 2 hours

Probably because Korea time is afternoon, but is your midnight
I think it's safe to say that sprit has delivered...Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/nVEco0B.jpg?1)
Gold stabs were given gratis. I even have a full set of gold stabs on my board from him. :thumb:
I don't know why you doubted him. :P His stuff is great. I am super happy with everything I have gotten from him so far. BTW, enjoy those 65g springs. I think his 65g springs are divine... :)

Hi sprit,
I just want to know if my name is still on your list. I made my payment about 16 months ago and I hope my order arrives soon.
Just received my tracking details and a refund for the cancelled metal plate as well as the difference in shipping costs.
The hype is real again! \o/ wooooooooh

I'll have to be honest, my hopes are high again. Got an email with Sprit confirming my order details, I forgot how much of a total pain all of this is, especially my own complicated order.
Wooh hoo!
Update April 5
- Confirmed Address, Order details & latest Changes updated : Shipped out, Track sent last week :
Grendel, JPG, Xandr, Melanic, twiddle. - Packed, going to ship on Monday : frogamic, ithinkim, eyesmiles
- Group emails Sent, Need to review the details in the order form, discuss thru emails : going to ship as many as possible, this week and Next week :
echo0, RSSonic92, mashby, christkind, WiNloSt, AnalogBlu, heissler, Crabby_B, Permeability, TheMoonUnderWater, Signature, archer, mooswa, fatchoi, nuclearsandwich, cookiesowns, chocobunny
- Going to send Group emails for Address, Order details & Latest changes, Need to discuss thru emails :
Lastpilot, Hzza, pasph, IMHB, bladegesnow, bianco, dorkvader, shrapneL, debt4lyfe, joneslee85, SigLogical, kakakowie, pepperpanda, DWawa, DelKey, cultofjosh, osxoep, MrChunky, Biased Opinion, o3okevin, xauser, Keymaster, elllit, durandalx, KyesaRRi, poog, tjweir, exitface, Elias Camber, Heliosphere, witbliz, tobetchi, Vibex, b7ad, MigZm, lol, mark0331, etc
* Sorry! It takes so much time to fix final details and changes, + packing 1-2 hrs, post office, etc. The other guys still Not listed, Please don't worry, I am trying to post You soon. Thanks!
* A Single Guideline for now This Weekly Shipping Update will be.
Just to Simplify all the efforts and works, and Not to publish individual vague promises. Beside the weekly confirmation group email, separate individual emails may not get answered quickly.
* The rules for the listing are based on the Order forms I have been working on, and the complexity of items. All the simple parts orders had been shipped out, The 60% small R2 GB to meet the MOQ had all shipped out by Dec. The PCBs and Case related orders are still under shipping, Definitely far less than 80 shipments to go at this moment. I see around 3-4 pages left to ship further from now on.
* Several big size orders may ship out in 2 times, for example, 60% and 110% are difficult to pack together in a single box. Discussions are on going thru emails atm. Thank You Guys! ;)

Hey Sprit, I'm on the "group email sent" list but didn't receive an email. Can you resend? Or PM me the email you have on file so I can make sure that's OK? Thanks buddy! :thumb::o I may missed it, Sorry! email sent! :D

My stuff arrived today, fully assembled, everything seems fine! Testing right now ...Good to hear this :thumb: I'm glad it got sorted out in the end for you and all the other participants.
Looks like my package was lost in shipping between EMS and Canada post, hasn't been traceable for 3 weeks. Looks like there's a first for everything. posting here in case my e-mails and pm get buriedDon't worry yet. My package seemed to fall off the earth for a while and then just showed up. It can take up to 4 weeks to be delivered and my tracking did not update. There is one system (can't remember name) which gave me a reasonable ballpark of what was going on via the tracking.
Try this http://www.17track.net/en/ for tracking, is very good and it worked for me in 98% of the cases :thumb:Looks like my package was lost in shipping between EMS and Canada post, hasn't been traceable for 3 weeks.

:'(Ya. He posted recently that he is sick, so progress is probably going to be slow for a bit. Hope he is feeling better again soon.
He emailed me a couple days ago re the 60% group buy, which I regretfully backed out of due to being in too deep with this buy to justify it.
I'm pretty sure he chipping away at this, slowly but surely.
I do feel more comfortable when we get the updates though.
I'd like to make a public apology to Sprit.
Just got my keyboard today, and I definitely want to say that this GB has been a learning experience for me in terms of patience, and as well as judging people prematurely.
Since I slandered Sprit in a public forum, it's only fair that I make an apology the same way.
So.... Sorry Sprit! Will definitely take this as a learning experience moving forward. Hope you accept my apology.
I am a sinner. :( You Guys have 100% Full Rights to punch me ! ;)Its okay sprit, atleast you are fufilling all our orders :). Check your PMs btw, I sent you one a few days ago :)
I was Too Stupid to be Too ambitious (or something, I am trying to find a proper word.)
So Sorry! for the long wait and a mistake for the final double check!
I have been learning a lot thru R1 and R2. I will try to finalize all soon! ;)
Big Thanks ! Dear limitz! :thumb:
I will try to finalize all soon! ;)
Oh! I just want to show some progress achievement,
Anyhow, Definitely will update on Monday evening ! >:D

Will you confirm order again before shipping? I started to think I need gold stabs.Hello! WiNloSt ;)
It has been 18 months and I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED MY ORDER. Sprit continues to ignore my emails and other attempts to communicate with him.
TO PEOPLE THINKING OF JOINING THIS GROUPBUY: this is a scam, don't fall in the same trap I did and lose $400 to a scammer.

Nice clean build, good stuff.
I still got no pictures for confirmation of my order... kinda makes me lose faith my order will be shipped this week, yet again.Hi! RSSonic92!

This is a good idea. I will have to try this! Thanks :D
Hello Guys! ;)SPRIT: Take care of yourself first man! Keyboards for people are not worth your health. We'll live. I think Dansor and I agree on this.
I have been sick for 6 days. The doctor says its mainly from fatigue.
I had days off from my work, got enough sleep, feel a bit better today.
SPRIT: Take care of yourself first man!
Hey Sprit! Just emailed you a few days ago, if you could reply, that would be excellent :D
I have to agree there really is a burden of proof on sprit, since supposedly he started assembling my board a month ago promising to send photos soon, which hasn't happened until today... I mean how long could it possible take to assemble a single board when you are confident enough to handle that lot? Also no visible progress has been made in the updates since the 10th of may!
Hello!
110% PCBs' controller parts installed and firmware test done. Only need to solder diodes for 110 Switches.
Its quite simple job but takes a couple of hours time.
So sorry for that !
If you are OK for solering diodes, i am shipping enough 2 types of diodes with PCBs.
Still don't have my keyboard over a year and a half after paying $400+...we all are recieving keyboards, I don't know why you still are so salty... I know you had to wait a long time but if you keep being toxic you might aswell get nothing
Basically the cycle goes like this:
1. I PM and email Sprit to get updates on the situation, which he ignores
2. With no other options and as a last resort, I come to this thread and complain in public, which warrants a single placating, bull**** response from Sprit about how the order is all ready and all he has to do is ship it out.
3. No reply for another 3-4 weeks.
Repeat.
Now he's talking about health issues. Well if your health issues are so bad that you cant make a trip to the post office for the package you've "had ready to ship" for over a year, you probably shouldn't have started a massive groupbuy in the first place.
99% chance this is just a scam.
Hi Guys! ;)You got me worried man ! Get lots of rest and get well soon! :thumb: Keyboards can wait :)
Sorry! It's been 10~ days I have been sick, So the shipping is slow.
I am trying to control myself and my time. I will update in a couple of days! :)
Hello sprit, sent you a PM :)
Hope you get well soon!
Hi Guys! ;)Feel better dude.
Sorry! It's been 10~ days I have been sick, mainly just tired, low energy.
So the shipping is slow. I feel angry for this.
I am trying to control myself and my time. I will update in a couple of days! :)
Hello sprit, sent you a PM :)
Hope you get well soon!
Thanks! I'm Not deadly sick, just tired, too low energy. ;)
Just have to be laid up with fatigue. I thought I am quite strong ! ::)
So sorry for the delay!
I am always concerned over the lest of the Shipping in my heart! >:D
Hello! Guys!
I am back from a break. So Sorry for all the troubles.
I will resume the shipping! ;)

Hello! Guys!Could you give me an update on my order as well? Last we spoke, mine was being assembled, which was over a month ago.
I am back from a break. So Sorry for all the troubles.
I will resume the shipping! ;)
Some pictures of the board I built in June. There had been some issue in June when I received the package, but Sprit did respond pretty quick.
My build log of 80% board can be found here (It should be A87w, but I can't change the album name or else the links break...):

Hi! ;)
I am very aware of emails to ship on the first line of list!
Just hope You guys Not too much worry on the remaining shipping.
I will make it, anyway, anyhow. just I feel so sorry for making You too much worries!

Lookin' good man! But I gotta ask...what's up with the cap lock?
Lookin' good man! But I gotta ask...what's up with the cap lock?
I'm not sure what round it was but I seem to remember one of the PBT GB's Ivan ran there was some sort of mishap with the color of the CapsLock keys. I only remember this because Ivan was adamant that the CapsLock key color will be correct for the currently-in-production PBT GB.
Guys! I am preparing a small update.
Wished a bigger one, but will be very small this week. :(
Anyway I would focus on faster finalizing this historic long shipping!
From now on, I will be quite Free, will concentrate on this finalizing Only! >:D
I would answer emails when it's really ready to ship out to each member instantly. :thumb:
Your emails are in my Inbox with Star mark, labeled, trying to be very keen to save them .
(Sure, I Do rechecking every emails and changes again, before each shipping.)
Some day.. Some day.. :-)
I have 2 sets of switches ready and a set of caps. I even changed springs in all the switches.
But I chose to see the fact that Sprit started taking new orders, as a good thing.. Must mean he has extra time available at the moment. Must be receiving a shipping number soon..
- I would not open any new GB forever, until complete this main GB.

I'm a bit torn on how to feel right now, as I have every sympathy for Sprit's health issues, but it is a little frustrating to see other orders fulfilled while mine languishes in group buy purgatory.
<snip>
Yes, I am trying hard to be positive :thumb:

This boat is pretty big...
I'm also one of the remaining unfulfilled orders. Is this what I get for taking him up on his offer of soldering my PCB components? :[
This is unacceptable, sprit is even still online regularly and no signs of shipments...
He should at least react to this thread and tell us what is going on and not some lame excuse again.
I finally want my money's worth. Seriously if sprit was in Germany I would have contacted the police long ago because I suspect large scale fraud.
I don't know if it helps or not, but I believe you will eventually get your stuff. I don't know when. He is a friend.
I'm still a little torn over this. A couple pages back or so, I leapt to Sprit's defense, as he's been having health issues.
If he comes back and says he still having health issues, I'll absolutely give him the benefit of the doubt, believe him, and take the further delay in stride.
However, the delays are not what is causing me frustration; the lack of clear communication is.
Sprit, is there anything else going on here than health issues?
I hope you're doing well, and not in the middle of a nervous breakdown about this.
I can only speak for myself, but I like to think this is a good group that will be understanding of any problems, even ones that may seem silly or trivial.
Even if the boards all cracked in half, or you don't feel like counting any more resistors, or your shipping estimates are off, or even if our ancestors offended yours, I'd rather know about it than wait without knowing.
Please, don't placate people by saying their order is almost ready if it's not actually almost ready.
It's disconcerting to hear that, but then see other orders, placed later, being shipped out while earlier orders languish.
If you are doing well, please just give us a clear idea of what's going on.
If you are not doing well, take care of yourself, get better, and then give us a clear idea of what's going on.
If you are doing terrible, stop reading GeekHack posts and go to the doctor :thumb:
Edit: I almost want to delete this post, because I'd feel terrible if I were pressuring, even lightly, a guy with serious health problems or something. But, I think my stance is probably mild compared to what some are feeling, so I'm going to leave it. Sprit, I hope all is well and I look back on this post, feeling like a dope for being concerned.
Edit 2: Of course, then in another thread I see people receiving their orders in a timely manner. I don't know what to think :llama:
Hello! It's so hot. ;)What did I say :)
I was in my vacation.
I will resume the remaining shipping hard!

With all the delays sprit has experienced will using that PCB cause a long wait time? Or are they already made?He is extremely busy to get out the last orders for his GB. Fortunately, my order is separated from this and he will be able to ship the day after I put in the order for the PCBs.
It's a gigantic echo chamber in this thread.
I looked through the last 3 months in this thread (went back to last proper update from Sprit on June 2nd 2015 (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=50580.msg1766492#msg1766492)), and this is basically what I can see:
- The following people were told their order was packed or under packing - would be shipped that week:
- RSSonic92, Archer & Lilky.
- The following people were told their order was next in line:
- Pasph & Durandalx
- The following people were on the "got email responses" list, and they would be in the turn after the next in line folks:
- Jlor, _robban, MrChunky, Tjweir & Bubchi89
All these people have mentioned in this thread within last month that they have heard nothing and received nothing.
I especially feel for the people that were told their boards would ship that same week, yet have heard nothing from Sprit regarding shipping..
There's at least 17 people (only counted back 3 months) in this thread that are just not getting any communication back from Sprit.
Meanwhile it seems LeandreN can get 60% PCBs from day to day as witnessed in LeandreNs plate+sprit PCB thread (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=73666.msg1825236#msg1825236):With all the delays sprit has experienced will using that PCB cause a long wait time? Or are they already made?He is extremely busy to get out the last orders for his GB. Fortunately, my order is separated from this and he will be able to ship the day after I put in the order for the PCBs.
Sprit, please understand that we - as customers who have already paid months or years ago - are getting frustrated with the lack of communication and progress.
It seems you are taking new orders in other threads, and it feels wrong when our orders are waiting so long.
Clear and transparent communication would help on this a lot! I'm sure there's a good reason you have not completed orders 2 years old, but as it stands right now I simply can not see the reason.
I understand your health may play a huge part in this. This is fine! If you are stressed or otherwise have bad health, please do take care of yourself. But in that case, how can you take new orders from other threads? Finish your current orders man, then move on to other orders.
I sincerely hope you do not take this as an attack on you as a person, as it is only meant to reflect my - the customer - frustration with the process.
...
SPRiT orders are being prepared for a possible shipment next week.
Just to say this, I am not sure if he will be able to supply next week. This may take some weeks. I know he is working hard.

Has anyone heard from Sprit lately?Yes, heard from him today :)
I'm starting to get a bit disheartened.
Earlier, he was ill, and that gets you infinite leeway from me.
But now we're not hearing anything, while at the same time he's got other group buys that are getting responses, and other business dealings with MechanicalKeyboards.com, etc. that are moving forward.
It's starting to seem like a business is being built on the funds of early backers, who are being left high and dry.
Sprit, please explain this to me.
LeanderN, have you heard from him recently? Could you perhaps remind him of us?
No more promises of updates. No more "ready to ship" posts.
I'll regain trust in Sprit when I receive what I paid for. Maybe.
20 months, with meaningless updates every few months, after people pile on.
I don't imagine MechanicalKeyboards had to go through this.
And was any update or mention of this thread/GB made?Has anyone heard from Sprit lately?Yes, heard from him today :)

I appreciate your update, but it does not make me feel good.
It seems like just another instance of Sprit prioritizing other things above his earliest customers.
Sorry.
I will send over a mail and ask him about what's happening. I wish the best for the community, and i am not trying to be a douchebag.
If i were in the same situation i would have been mad.

You are NOT being a douchebag. You are taking it upon yourself to defend a friend and you're putting yourself in a position that you should not be in.
I am frustrated with Sprit, not you. If he was as forthright as you, we would not be having this conversation.
Best wishes.
If i can get an update from him, i will get it to you here in this thread. I know for sure that he has health problems, so i won't push him to anything.
SPRiT is an awesome guy and a good friend, he is not some kind of douchebag that runs with our money. I too have an order that has yet to be sent, but I know that now the most important thing is for him to get rest and relax, health is more important than anything. He overworked himself in the past and that led to nothing more than him being unable to work and continue the GB's .
I know it's hard to be patient when you are already waiting for a long time for stuff you paid for, but putting a good man health at risk is just not worth it.
So have faith, you will get your stuff and it will be worth waiting a little bit more :thumb:
70% of the SPRiT order is shipped. He did a quality control and just placed an order with the factory for 100 more PCBs. So some of the orders might get a little late, even though I am ahead of schedule.
Sorry.

If it helps, I put an order in for a case in early June. I'm real sorry for those of you have been waiting ages and have yet to receive anything :[

Not your fault. Sprit apparently just has preferential treatment. :-)

I think it's more like he only has 60% boards/cases available. Does anyone actually remember a 75%, 87% or 110% order being filled out? My guess is that something went wrong with those boards and it wasn't worth reordering them due to lack of interest (and it's obviously lossy for him to pay for another batch out of pocket). That's obviously not OK and he's a **** if that's the case. And even if that's _not_ the reason, he's still a **** for making us wait for 2 years instead of just telling us to **** off. I think at this point he's basically just waiting for people to forget. Because, well, we will right? What do we get by going to this thread? There's no benefit to us if we keep waiting, and he'll get prodded less and less until it's "over". It's ****ed up, but he's still providing a service to a lot of members who only want 60% boards so it's not like the mods will do anything either
Hello!
110% PCBs' controller parts installed and firmware test done. Only need to solder diodes for 110 Switches.
Its quite simple job but takes a couple of hours time.
So sorry for that !
If you are OK for solering diodes, i am shipping enough 2 types of diodes with PCBs.
SPRiT is moving to new office, hence the delay.
I waited quite a bit for reply, but the order was already shipped.
So don't worry, your package is probably on it's way. :)
i'm not holding my breath, i'm counting this money as lost now
...
To bad that he turned out to be nothing else than a thief and a lier, he seemed like a solid and good guy with good intention but something went wrong for sure.
...
The sad part is that if there were more frequent, and fewer misleading, updates, I would actually be OK waiting two years for a group buy order.

This is what I don't understand. He's completed, as far as I can tell, a TON of other orders.
I feel like there's something to this story that we're not seeing. I'm not saying it's excusable, but there must be more here than Sprit just deciding to not fulfill X% of the group buy orders.
But, ultimately, it's poor communication that has lead us here, so I don't expect to ever get the full story.
The sad part is that if there were more frequent, and fewer misleading, updates, I would actually be OK waiting two years for a group buy order.
I received a 60% and 75% PCB, but no cases for those or my full 110% kit. Sprit indicated he would send the remaining items through in a few emails at the start of the year but haven't heard from him for quite some time.
Just thought I would put that out there so people know there was at least *some* progress on the non-60% boards.
I've emailed Sprit nicely and received no response. I will now be filing a report with the US Internet Crime Complaint Center aka FBI. I urge others to do the same. The more complaints received concerning Sprit the likelier they are to contact authorities in S Korea. I don't wish Sprit I'll will, but ignoring everything is never a good solution.
CAVEAT EMPTOR: WE ACCEPT NO LIABILITY FOR LOSSES RELATED TO OR RESULTING FROM POSTING IN THIS FORUM OR FOR ANY TRANSACTION RESULTING FROM A POSTING IN THIS FORUM.
Kind of sad that the frequency of posts to this thread is slowly, but surely decreasing. No updates from anyone at this point anymore, certainly not from the only person that matters. We're all so tired, there's not even a point to complaining, as everything that needs to be said, has been said already.
...
I think something has happened to SPRiT, until August we used to chat over e-mail quite often. Now in the last 2 months he wtote me once about my order and that was it. I haven't lost hope in him, I'm sure I'm going to get my stuff at sime point, to be honest it would be nuce to be sooner than later but it's no drama.
I have noticed a trend with the Korean organized GB's here. It seems that they bite more than they can chew, at the moment they open to the rest of the world the numbers ar more than they can handle, look at GON, kin25. GON used to have small runs that went smooth, in the moment he went big scale it all crashed :(
Then they should ****ing limit the buys!That is true, but again people will complain there is not enough supply ... From following GH I've learned one thing, unless you have a tram behind you and very good logistics big GB's are bound to fail or take like forever... GH60 comes in mind for example, but there are much more examples.
It is true, but I've seen this kind of behavior also with GON, he knows he is swamped in orders and experiences delays and still takes new orders. Maybe there is also something related to the eastern culture that we don't understand.I think something has happened to SPRiT, until August we used to chat over e-mail quite often.

Yea, I think that's what happened here too. But it's inexcusable to keep taking on orders in other GBs then and broker deals with major sellers to provide them parts.
Biting off more than you can chew happens, but then you shouldn't go back for seconds, thirds and fourths..
Luckily one good thing did come out of this collective massive loss of money: Sprits reputation is tainted now and hopefully fewer people will be hit by his greed next time. At least people have been warned now.
Why are there so many people on this thread defending SPRiT saying that he's "only incompetent" and not "intentionally defrauding the community" as if that's somehow better...?
At the very least, he is less likely to continue his act if it was due to incompetence than if it was intentional fraud.
At the very least, he is less likely to continue his act if it was due to incompetence than if it was intentional fraud.
Then based on his track record of continuous lying would those be considered intentional fraud? :))
Obviously he's not a scammer.
...
In any case, I suppose that's neither here nor there, and I agree, intellectually, with your sentiment.
I also believe it's important for the community to have this addressed, andto collectively insist on a response from Sprit before allowing his buys to continue.
3 months. No contact in this thread.
Shouldn't it be winter over there? Maybe sprit is a bear? zzz
Well, it looks like he is logging in every once in a while. He logged in this morning 10/23. So it appears he is purposely ignoring this thread and all PM/E-Mail contact.
I ordered a PCB + some LEDs in august when it was advertised that extras were available, in another thread. I got the invoice pretty quick and payed it on august 18th. I have not heard anything from him since and I have now started a Paypal dispute. We'll see if he responds to it.

You only waited 2 months before filing a dispute? Kinda extreme... For reference, I paid my invoice on 2014-07-18 and received my PCB, springs, stabs, and switches just after 2014-12-19. Now I'd expect he'd be under investigation by Paypal and not be able to fulfill anything at all for a while :/

SPRiT advertised for EXTRAS in his other thread and I was under the assumption that the PCB was already produced and ready to ship. He sent the invoice really fast and I thought that he would ship my order fast as well. After a month I contacted SPRiT by email, PM and later through Paypal, asking about the status of my order - no response. When I started the dispute he was contacted by Paypal as well, but he did not respond to them either. Waiting two months was not the issue, the lack of response when trying to contact him and not posting updates here is what caused me to open a dispute. He did not respond to the dispute, and Paypal chose to refund me. He could have avoided all of this by just responding with something like this: "Sorry for not responding. Your order will be shipped soon, don't worry!" That would have prevented all of this.
For posterity's sake, I ordered a 60% from his extras and after about a month of noncommunication, I filed a paypal dispute. A few days later, he emailed me with photos of my package.
It just recently arrived and everything I ordered was included and even included a 2 layer case as well as a 3 layer one.
While I was frustrated with him, SPRiT was still very nice about it and included the 2 layer case because he thought it looked better. I can't speak for what's preventing him from communicating here or fulfilling orders, but I hope he comes back and makes everything right. It's really a shame, because the keyboard is quite nice.

Is it at all possible to file a dispute if it's been > 90 days or whatever time frame they specify?The only thing holding me back from opening a dispute is the fact that I still consider him a friend and I still have a hope that one day he will come back and finish this.
I'm going to second the post above mine and say that you should file the dispute anyway. Were this a one-time thing, I could see an argument for holding off, but this has been a repeat occurrence. At some point, you have to say enough is enough and protect yourself.
Is it at all possible to file a dispute if it's been > 90 days or whatever time frame they specify?
Even if I wanted to open a dispute it's too late, I made the payment in May, 180 days long gone :( So that's it for me.
I'll have to see if my bank can help, I have moved to Germany and the card linked to the PayPal is from back home, so it's a little complicated.Even if I wanted to open a dispute it's too late, I made the payment in May, 180 days long gone :( So that's it for me.
I would still maybe talk to your bank and see if there's any recourse. Since you're in the EU, you probably have stronger consumer protection than here in North America.
Well, Sprit just responded in this thread (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=60887.msg1926518#msg1926518), maybe there's hope?
Sprit, if you are indeed back on this buy, could you please give any details as to what has been going on and the current state of orders?
If not each individual order, at least a general update on the status of PCBs, cases, etc?
I sincerely apologize if there are factors at work that I can't see, but it seems like we only hear from you once enough noise is made, and then you vanish again.
Any sort of detail would gain a lot of good will.
EDIT: Clarification because I feel like a bad guy here.
Your real job is obviously more important. But you have, intentionally or not, mislead people over the state of the orders and shipping many times over the past couple years.
If you look at the real successful group buy organizers, even when there are large delays, they communicate frequently and clearly, and because of that nobody really minds, and it even garners support.
Best wishes
Hello Guys! ;)
So Sorry for the long silence!
I have been hectic with my job in September ~ October since assigned to a new department.
I will do fulfil the lest of remaining shipping.
Apology for everything!
Thanks!

I'm in the same boat as well. Mine should be the worse since there has been no updates on my change of purchase since god knows when... I even sent so many mails in attempt of confirmation / alignment. I already given up and would take any colour / what is readily available.. With this group buy I really lost interest with mechanical keyboards and the silence from Ivan's group buy also does not help as I will be giving up this hobby. Was thinking of giving this as a gift but what a great backfire this turned out to be.. I'm sticking to mass drop or SP in the future for a more reliable purchase.

Just checking in 2 years later. Maybe I won't need to buy a new keyboard after all if Sprit actually ships out the remaining orders.
I posted months ago about how this GB should be shut down, and how Sprit is not being forthcoming with us. Got flamed and was told that I had the wrong attitude, and I shouldn't join future GB's if that was how I was going to act.

Yup, I've seen quite a lot of those kind of responses to people with real money in this buy. It's one thing to be supportive and understanding of delays and personal issues. It's quite another to be blind to all the red flags and repeated lies.
It's Caveat Emptor all over the place, you pour your money into a complete strangers wallet and hope you get your stuff, there is no buyer protection no moneyback guarantee no nothing. GB's work on good faith.
I assume that I've lost my money from the moment I join a GB and never stick more money than I can afford to lose in one. This way if everything works out I'm happy, if not well it was my fault I gave the money to the hustler.
I have wrote him tons of e-mails he just doesn't answer. In the mean time he talks with other users and takes orders. I can't describe how I feel right now!!! It's ****ed up that's what it is. There is no excuse for this, and I the IDIOT stood up for him and called him a friend.... serves me right, I was an imbecile that's what I was
For what it' worth I just received shipping notification and tracking number for my order.
This is a throwaway account for obvious reasons

I think you at least owe sprit an apology given that you've been bashing sprit for a while now. Of course when the package arrives, but just saying. I've never had any problems with orders from sprit so far. Yes, there were times when he didn't respond to my email but he always ended up delivering my stuff.
Edit: not a throwaway now :thumb:

Do you think he knows what he's talking about?
Really really funny.

I believe Sprit's post meant there would be three parts (you being in the second part) with simple orders happening during and between the two parts. Course I honestly believe this was just another smokescreen to attempt to make us not alarmed when he accepts and ships more new orders as I've yet to see any real attempt at progress for those 2-year old non simple orders in the update.
I feel like such a sucker :)
Every time he finally posts something, a part of me still believes things are happening.
I wish I had listened to the rumors from the Korean boards about him when this whole buy started.
Worst of all, I passed the 2-year anniversary of my payment and forgot to celebrate.
I'll just have a bigger celebration next year I guess :)

Got that email on the 23rd after emailing him on the 22nd. I've suggested setting up a spreadsheet of all open orders so that he can update it when something happens. I really want some damn gold stabs from him but won't be ordering **** until all of his outstanding orders are shipped.

My entry is wrong. Can I update it, or should you?
My order consists of the following:
---
1x 110% PCB
110x White LED high brightness (with 1% resistors)
5x Cherry MX Stabilizers (total 1 set)
---
An update on my email correspondence to Sprit: I sent the email 10 days ago. Have not received a reply yet. Sent another to him today, he might've been busy with family / friends over December. Understandably I think..
GG Sprit, way to practice preferential treatment.

I already made a sreadsheet a while back, and some people filled it.
Here is a submission form if someone wants to add their order to it. I think it would be beneficial in the long run.

And here is the spreadsheet:
Spreadsheet (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11cNKZh2RBBiX4vjScA0tQs_ekH_Bh8WzM0Z2vOeYoJo/edit?usp=sharing)
Please tell me if some of the orders were already delivered. It looks like some of the names from the spreadsheet are not in the cue. For example limitz. although he is complaining couple of comments bellow that he thinks the GB should be shut down.
Well, I was one of the first in his recent list. I've had a request for shipping address about a week back something I've given a few times already) and then have heard nothing since. If it shows up, I'll let you all know.
Update on my email correspondance (..) with Sprit: Have yet to receive a reply. Sent another email today (Sent one the 22nd December 2015, 1st of January 2016 and then now the 13th of January 2016). Hope he is OK..
Anyone else heard from him since last update? Or since 22nd of December when I sent the first email?
Just before I sleep I look this thread to remind myself not to put so much faith in people. How the continuous lies has caused us to lose some interest in this hobby.One thing I have learned in the 2 years since I have joined this community, and that is for each user who fails to deliver (I try and avoid other terms) you have a ton of col users who prove that this is a cool community and make up for any bad experience. Just have to stick around and make friends and not lose faith. This a great hobby and the caps/keyboards are just an excuse to get together :thumb:
Indeed, don't let one bad GB ruin this great hobby for you - tons of other cool guys out there who actually do deliver.

I'm first on that list, got an email from him very shortly afterwards asking me to confirm my shipping information which I did... nothing heard from him since. Mind you, that is the second half of my order, and that happened the first time too.
I haven't so far. I have a customs parcel arriving tomorrow though, it could be this but I assume it's from one of the other group buys. If it is this, I'll post.

Good spot! All 60%s I notice, has anyone received an 87% or a full size from Sprit? Amongst my many worries concerning this GB is that the only ones that I've seen received are 60%. I wonder if all these delayed orders are all those for bigger PCBs and cases.
Don't mean to hijack, but, seeing as classified threads may go overlooked, does anyone here in the CONUS have any gold stabs they'd be willing to part with?

Oh, sorry. Meant SPRiT gold stabs as his are usually cheaper as sets.
ok, 27 months of waiting
How many years i have to wait before call this a scam?
5? 10? 100?
It's OK, I give you permission to label it a scam now. :-)
It is clear Sprit has no intention of fulfilling orders, even though he keeps popping back every 6 months to state otherwise.
I'm certain he (still) has good intentions but has just been overwhelmed by the work required. Seems he just liked the more stable income provided by bulk orders (i.e. his relationship with MK.com), compared to the drops of odd orders here and there from GH.
It must be easier to simply say "I can supply 60% PCBs with regularity", than saying "I can supply any PCB from 60% to 110% with your choice of LED, case and with or without stabs"..
Not a clear scam, just an overwhelmed person who has no regard of other people's money. It is his own fault though, so I don't feel sorry for him at all. In fact I quite despise him for having kept on taking orders for so long.
The fact that he is pissing up and down the back of his direct community customers is enough reason for me to boycott anything to do with Sprit.

Actually, he is still taking new side orders according to a recent post in his deskthority thread. :))

What recent post?
Over a month from the last post, even longer since the last "update" from Sprit if you can call it that. AFAIK, there are tons of ppl from this buy still without their stuff, including people with thousands of dollars of goods purchased.
With all the attention on Ivan and his scamming... can we finally call this a scam too? Or are people going to start white knighting for Sprit again like the last dozens of times he got called out?
More surprisingly, it seems like Sprit hasn't been personally affected from this at all. Kept the money from the orders, and sealed mk.com as a client. Seems like a win-win for what he demonstrated as utter dishonesty.

i just want to say this.
3 weeks ago i ordered gold spring from sprit at DT GB since he said on DT spring is ready stock all variant.
so i give it a try and ordered 78g gold spring, and just last saturday i got the spring, sprit even give me a bonus 100g tester pack xD.
i think sprit is still active and maybe still needs time to fulfill the other order.
oh yeah~ now my 65g zealio turn to 78g :thumb:

That stinks. I submitted an order for 72g springs and he never invoiced me.

Just let this thread die. Sprit doesn't need any more publicity.
If anyone still wonders why the majority of the responders in this thread dislike Sprit, this is exactly why!
Some orders have week to week delivery, some are 3+ years old and it's impossible to get a status from Sprit as he doesn't reply on emails..
Seems our orders gave him startup capital, without him providing a product for the money we gave him. Lovely person, just lovely. F&ck him

Just a feel a bit ridiculous when there's so much attention on Ivan/Kin125, and this buy has been going South for longer than any of them, without an inkling of attention from the mods. I mean, they let him post a 2nd GB up here, while this one was already going super crappy. And apparently, there are *still* people defending Sprit and saying "he needs more time."
Just pisses me off is all, especially since he did as you said: took the money from this buy, used it as startup capital, and apparently nobody minds dealing business with an open scammer.

As long as he delivers in the end it doesn't matter. GBs can take along time. It's accepted. If its within 5 years of the GB start to delivery that's just a long GB. You can't necessarily expect something to go from a drawing board to a final form in your hands produced on a decent scale in 6 months or a year. I work in semiconductor manufacturing and its not uncommon for small changes in the line to take two years of coming up with a problem, collecting data, getting it approved and implemented. Imagine one person creating multiple product designs, sending them to a manufacturer, the manufacturer may have to do small tooling adjustments and other things to manufacture them, then that same person has to handle distribution and customer service. It can take a LONG TIME for one person who has a life and another job on the side I imagine. I ordered at the end of '13 and still have hope that small things like manufacturing and distribution got in the way as well as communication but that it will still lead to a successful group buy in the end. Though I do find it troublesome and unacceptable there there is just zero communication. Whether that's just because of issues outside of sprits hands or his inability to handle it all is another thing.

Hello!
110% PCBs' controller parts installed and firmware test done. Only need to solder diodes for 110 Switches.
Its quite simple job but takes a couple of hours time.
So sorry for that !
If you are OK for solering diodes, i am shipping enough 2 types of diodes with PCBs.
I just got a shipping notice. Will Sprit still outpace the GH60 group buy? We'll find out!! I hope.
Hoping this goes forward! I got your email SPRiT and have responded with a new shipping address.Hi! durnadalx

As I posted for the Shipping Rule,
You have my email - I've sent so many messages to you that I've never received a reply to - so feel free to send me a request for address update.. I don't believe you will need my address though since you clearly have no plans of shipping the product I've bought.
You have single-handedly destroyed my faith in this community. You are toxic. You should offer to refund to all buyers in this GB.

Hi jlor!Photo of boxes, must be legit!
I understand the situation, you have no chance to pay the shipping, all are my fault.

I understand the feelings of the guys not got theirs yet.Sprit, if you are, in fact preparing to ship out these orders finally, could you PM me with my order detailsi & address? I'd like to make sure that everything looks good.
Big sorry for the fatal delay. No words to say.
But ... I'd like to say one, 'Please Stop discouraging, Shut up and Watch on'
I have fulfilled over thousand GB orders, slow or fast,
having difficulty to finalize this rest of shipping.
Being a crazy man, moving heavy boxes, searching for a single piece sometimes for half an hour,
to put all pieces together into a singe shipping box ...
All are I had chosen.
Thank You!

Seems like it. The order form is updated for June 2016, and my friend has already had his package prepped to ship :)
I just realised my order was sent to my parents address. Means I'll have to wait until I go back for a visit before I get my board. Can't wait.

Shipping confirmation: Round 2. We'll see if this one comes through.
Yup, just replied to it. Since I paid for the 4.0mm aluminum plate that never got made, I'd like to sub in a 75% case to make up for the funds. If you have one in blue & white that will match closely with the Raindrop key set, that would work for me.OK! All set thru emails

Hi sprit, just want to say I finally got home and built the board!
It's great quality and straightforward to solder.
I forgot to take pictures while building it, but here's one of the finished product and one of the leds.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/ANxUcHs.jpg)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/qEKIpME.jpg)
It's kind of ****ed up that you are making money off of new buys while stringing along people who gave you hundreds to thousands of dollars for **** that you haven't sent for "reasons." Stop being an ******* and just get it done.While I understand that people aren't happy with how things went/are in this GB, do you actually believe that the chances of folks getting their products increase by calling the GB-leader names?

Multiple people reported that they got their stuff now and while the products should and maybe could've arrived earlier, we both have no idea what happened behind the scenes. All that is apparent is that he tries to correct his wrongs, if you want to see how it works to scam people, take a look at the Ivan and Berserkfan ****show.
Just give him a chance, I believe everybody deserves at least that much.

Oh! Looks nice, better than my build!
Anything to improve? Please give me some feedbacks! ;)
Hi!
A menu key?
Oh! You got that already! Happy to hear! :thumb: ㅁ ㅓ ㅇHi!No, the built in menu that you could use to reprogram the keyboard without flashing the firmware. I got to it by pressing "m" while plugging in the usb cable.

I mean...that's pretty much the same reason GB organizers don't get banned. IDK about you but it just doesn't seem right to me to allow new GBs because an organizer has us by the balls - or rather I find it flat out rude / irresponsible by geekhack members that willingly join in the new group buys / act buddy buddy like nothing is wrong because they want more stuff while others are delayed indefinitely because of it. I mean really, at least from what I saw the majority of these "people receiving stuff" you mention have not waited necessarily as long as the rest of us which is even worse if you knew Sprit told people like me we were in round 1.
I do however appreciate the actual timeframes Sprit is saying now.
While I do agree that it is not necessary to call people names, I am grateful for the effort you put into keeping the issues this GB has faced surfaced.
People accept things too easily around here.

So to be clear here, I just have to wait for your email right? Because I am not on GH that often but I regularly check my inbox.Yes! You are right! I have been talking via Email for the Shipping, but Not to get confused, I talk one by one, fix changes and details, select the parts and pack.
No email yet from you sprit, what's the status?Hello! cookiesowns! I will answer that! :)
Email sent regarding the order.Yes! I have to update and answer! Let me work on by Wednesday!
I like the touch tablet of Mac Book. Sometimes. Mouse is alittle tough for me. But the touch tablet of other notebook computer are terrible. So, with the Mac's touch tablet , My left hand and right hand can work together efficient.Now you got me wanting a board with the tenkey on the left side :eek:
I just want another like the K-Mini with the function keys on the left. Or a reversed tenkeyless. I'd love to be able to keep my hand on the mouse and hit the arrow keys, print screen, delete, and so on.
Received my order from Sprit :Well! As You guys see, The Gold Plated screws are included since August, for the diversity of Beauty.

It's sad to see so many people not getting orders, since I really want an acrylic sprit case for a build. makes me wonder how long It'd take for me to get it. my springs came in 2 weeks or so but it seems like nobody is complaining about the spring shipping. :(
Woah woah c'mon guys it's not even the 15th yet even in Korea :))
So tempting to pitch in but it's a lot funnier if I continue to "shut up and watch" as I was told to do so until the 15th.

Well, with any luck Sprit will post to this thread soon.
He replied to another of his threads on Sunday, so hopefully he's getting caught up.
At some point maybe I'll post a friendly query in his other threads. I just don't want to be that guy.
Well, don't do that.
I was just indicating I may post in a different thread to get sprits attentiin.
While it's frustrating that others are taking part in Sprit's other buys while we are waiting, they are not doing anything wrong or responsible for Sprit's behavior.
Don't take your frustration out on your fellow enthusiasts or make this situation uglier than at is.
We're all in this together :)
