No feet. You could do like the GoN mobik and just use the high quality rubber stick on feet
Do you know when orders will start? I would be in this if I had money. But right now I really don't. :-(
Been looking for a 40% :) think this might be it.

2nd that.
Filled in the form, interested in both plates :thumb:
Is the pcb layout final?
Just want to clarify something, insurance for $100 CDN is about $75USD.
If it happens to get lost in the mail I can only refund the insurance money.
It's about $25 USD for shipping to USA for full coverage of the board.
I have about 70 zealios 65g tactile that I can throw in for one of the orders at $70 ($1/switch) brand new never used.
The GB is of course at cost and I have to pay $75 / board up front for the order and it takes about 4 weeks from production to shipping if I understood GFW correctly.
So if I collect payment end of January it should be around mid march for you to receive the kit.

Sounds like a good game plan. :thumb:
Any reason why the HHKB layout doesn't have a right sided alt key? Only thing keeping me from joining this gb

Btw the kit doesn't include switches, right?

Don't think so, would be way too cheap if it had switches!
What colors is everyone choosing??

I'll go silver/purple. Kingsaver needs a little brother.
I need more pink and purple in my life. Hard part is deciding if I want a baby hhkb or the other layout...

The options of the acrylic are crazy, it'll take me forever to choose. I'll be doing vintage blacks since I have bags laying around. What switches you using?
Although I'd like to grab nature whites if I could. Zealio purple would be tempting, price is a bit much but at 40% maybe!
Forgot to say, purple! Best choice.
Is it possible to order only a pcb?
Is it possible to order only a pcb?
If you only want a PCB then you might just want to order it from Taobao directly. Would be faster and maybe cheaper.
Definitely in for one. Can't have too many 40% boards.
I do have a question about the bottom row, though. I assume the bottom fits 1.25u keys for the three switches on either side of the spacebars. What size would the spacebars need to be? 2.25u each?
There are over 100 responses to the IC form now so I'm going to see with GFW if it will be possible to extend the number of units for this. (Or do multiple rounds to avoid having $10000 caught up in one order and being at high risk)
I'm in! Looks super-tight and I'm looking forward to a KB I can fit in the cargo jorts.
Just to confirm, the PCB probably doesn't support SMD LEDs, does it? So if we wanted underlighting we'd have to just use regular 2-pin flipped downward?
just add some more lights.

update
change the internal leds to 1206 smd leds. Side light looks to be much better.

shipping to europe?
I should ask too, shipping to Australia?

The same or more compared to europe. $60 tracked but I could probably pass it as $20ish untracked
hey glitched, had a question. can you post the colors of the alu plates? i can see the acrylic but i am wondering specifically what the pink would look like!The pink is pictured already in the OP.

It would be good to get some idea of the other colors though
Quick Q, what do you call those screws that fit flush to the case? I'm sure they have a name but I dunno what it is. Thanks.
can you make this with bluetooth? i'm really interested in kb with bluetooth build in :D
yeah i don't expect too :D i just wanna ask if there is a chance for itcan you make this with bluetooth? i'm really interested in kb with bluetooth build in :D
I think it could be modded to Bluetooth if you are skilled. But for this, I think he is shooting for a lower price point which makes me think he wouldn't try.

This Golbat seems to use a different controller board, but someone could probably figure out how to connect it to a BT module.

They're all so pretty...and so much acrylic. Really should build two! Haha
There's a sparkling gold looking acrylic I think I'll sandwich in between green.
or black?
No black though?

Black is in the OP guys.

Saw that, just wasn't sure after the picture didn't clarify they werent the only available colors in that post.
I'm going to double check...
GFW listed black but did not list gold as potential colors. However there's one sample board that was black and in the image with the colors there's no black but gold instead.

Just a quick question:No, they have different footprints on the pcb.
Would it be possible to desolder the mini-USB and solder a Micro-USB on the pcb?
To bad, seems like I'll have to get an extra cable for Mini-USB.Just a quick question:No, they have different footprints on the pcb.

SMD LED soldered onto the bottom of the through hole pads.
Blue doesn't work that well when passing through orange acrylic but it's very visible for the bottom half of the acrylic plate.
I will also consider taking on soldering jobs if there's a decent amount of interest for me to get my own soldering iron (instead of constantly borrowing one) which means I would also have to order switches too for those who want it soldered. Anyway, that's another story.
I got detailed instructions from GFW about creating the firmware without TMK so I'll try that this weekend and hopefully have the GB running next week with payment collection by the 21st of January.

Great details! Glad to know when it will be. I will definitely have the money for it then!

I thing we were confused due to the post saying it had all the available colors pictured.
Just for clarity, can we get a text list of all the plate color options available for this buy?

does anyone have a 6u stab wire or know where i can get one that I can pay for?

I think there is a typo in the GB thread. I'm 99% sure that you need a normal 6.25u stab for the full sized spacebar - joining the sizes 3 keys that replace it in the 'split' layout makes exactly 6.25u.
