This tool is a must have,
I can't imagine modding switches without it
It's even good to remove diodes when they are stuck inside the switch (mostly on vintage boards I guess, like skidata)

Techno Trousers · « **Reply #51 on:** Thu, 25 July 2013, 07:31:54 »

I'm in for one. I don't want to order too many in case an improved version comes out later, like with the two halves hinged.

SpAmRaY · « **Reply #52 on:** Thu, 25 July 2013, 07:37:26 »

Just thought I'd share an action shot for anyone interested.

oTurtlez · « **Reply #53 on:** Thu, 25 July 2013, 08:53:53 »

Do you think these will be shipped / delivered before 8/19? I'm moving up to school then and won't know if I should have my address set to the school or just get them shipped to my house. Thanks Beast!

hoggy · « **Reply #54 on:** Thu, 25 July 2013, 09:02:47 »

Ordered.

Can't believe I missed out on the previous rounds.

I second this notion. They took me a little while to get used to, but once I got in the groove switch disassembly was lightning quick

So many expenses this month

But this is a must-have. In.

audukent · « **Reply #57 on:** Thu, 25 July 2013, 09:39:00 »

2 sets ordered!

dorkvader · « **Reply #58 on:** Thu, 25 July 2013, 09:57:23 »

yes! I'm glad I got in on this instead of missing it again.

I will be doublechecking my amazon payments email, 'there is a chance I typed it in wrong.

Aah, what the hell. Don't cancel my order, I'm in, not out.

Can I cancel my order please? Just realized that I won't have the money.

~65 sets guys, this is great!

Techno Trousers · « **Reply #63 on:** Thu, 25 July 2013, 18:42:26 »

How many sets need to sell before another price break? Maybe someone who speaks Korean should publish it on their boards. Where's Zenuty?

WhiteFireDragon · « **Reply #64 on:** Thu, 25 July 2013, 19:36:24 »

Korean aren't fans of removable switches, LZ keyboards with the exception.

In for one set. Unfortunately the set that Jocelyn so graciously provided me was a little messed up and doesn't quite work right.

WhiteFireDragon · « **Reply #70 on:** Fri, 26 July 2013, 01:27:00 »

I had the same problem with one of the two sets I bought from the very first round. The tip of the two prongs were not filed good enough, so they don't catch the plastic holes well. It's not hard to file it myself, but I already had another set so I didn't bother fixing that one that didn't work well.

Happened with mine too.

I've been using my Dad's handmade can lid, reciprocating saw blade, and hacksaw blade switch openers up to this point. I wonder if I should try out a set of these... They certainly wouldn't leave the occasional scratch on the PCB like the lids/blades do.

The tines on one of the pieces are too rounded, looks like they were ground down too much. Makes it so that piece doesn't get as far down as it needs to and pops out when I put any pressure on it. I can still use the other piece to open the switches up, it's just much slower that way.

MOZ · « **Reply #74 on:** Fri, 26 July 2013, 04:14:10 »

I hope these problems get fixed this time round.

The_Beast · « **Reply #75 on:** Fri, 26 July 2013, 04:19:04 »

Well, I did check to see that they all fit into the switch and that it opened. All the sets opened a switch once before shipping....

You could probably just make 100 sets, and any leftovers would be sold before you even finish production.

Please cancel the amazon pay order (1st order) and use my paypal payment instead.
Sorry about it.

HoffmanMyster · « **Reply #89 on:** Tue, 30 July 2013, 12:18:19 »

Ordered a set! Just out of curiosity, when do you anticipate shipping these out with the order deadline being August 1?

My laser guy has had lead times between 3 days and 2 weeks. He's super busy and has even invested in another $300,000 laser cutter. However, he's slammed and needed that 2nd machine. So it's really hard to say.

If I order August 1st with a 2 week lead time, that puts me at 8/15 (My birthday) and I'll try to get a few sets done to sell or "ship" at Keycon and ship the rest after that.

I will be ordering August 1st and collecting payment shortly after. Needless to say, if you cancel your order after I've bought them, I'm not going to be a happy camper!

That's what I wanted to hear!

Hopefully it'll work out that way and I can save a few bucks on shipping (?).

For sure! I'll have everyone pay shipping just encase but if they're done and I don't have to ship, I'll refund you or just pay you cash at the meetup.

esoomenona · « **Reply #95 on:** Wed, 31 July 2013, 10:54:49 »

Does the price drop now that there is such a high number of sets ordered, or was 50 the biggest drop?
