Got back to my poker plate and switch tool waiting waiting in the mail. Thanks!

man i wish i got one of these, if there are any leftover sales or 2nd round ill be in line

I had to remove the led on the right shift otherwise the costar stabilizer hits it when trying to bottom out

alaricljs · « **Reply #461 on:** Sat, 05 January 2013, 11:19:01 »

Costar stabs don't like in-switch LEDs.

The_Beast · « **Reply #462 on:** Sat, 05 January 2013, 17:45:05 »

I did costar too, I didn't reinstall any of my LEDs even tho it only effected two switches. Plus it allows me to mod them without desoldering as well

jeroplane · « **Reply #463 on:** Sun, 06 January 2013, 01:55:04 »

Sounds like you might not have many leftovers available, but just in case you do, I'd really like to get one! Or if anyone ordered extras, hit me up and I will be forever grateful

Recieved my plate yesterday, thanks!

TDub · « **Reply #465 on:** Wed, 16 January 2013, 07:00:21 »

Received mine last Saturday and finally installed the first one yesterday! Very happy with it so far!

But the LEDs of the Poker are a pain to desolder and I made some silly mistakes like starting to solder switches back in without installing the stabilizers first.

kaiserreich · « **Reply #466 on:** Mon, 21 January 2013, 09:26:37 »

Nice fibre board

Glissant · « **Reply #467 on:** Mon, 21 January 2013, 09:47:37 »

I have my plates just sitting here, because I can't f**king seem to desolder a single switch. I SUCK ROFL.

Air suckers make it pretty easy if you have one.

Glissant · « **Reply #469 on:** Mon, 21 January 2013, 21:57:59 »

I have one. I am thinking it's the tip that I am using that isn't getting hot enough at the actual tip. Anyway, I'll figure it out.

These plates are awesome, and they should be on Pokers all over the world.

Glod · « **Reply #470 on:** Mon, 21 January 2013, 23:10:45 »

If you want to do a standard ANSI 125 layout on the GH60 it will. But some of the switches are rotated, so they will fit in the holes in the plate, but you lose the ability to open those without desoldering first.

Thanks for the info...
Guess Id simply file additional gaps in for the rotated switches... if we actually go with rotated switches for the final board

I have no idea. I'd love to ship plates with the PCB but I don't know when that's going to happen or who's even running GH60 PCB so I'm really in the dark.

jdcarpe · « **Reply #486 on:** Mon, 04 February 2013, 06:14:31 »

I believe komar said he would start the GH60 PCB GB soon-ish. I think he's still working everything out with the fab for getting the controllers and SMD components sourced, etc.

The cost of milling would be extremely high. Milling steel ain't easy or cheap

OK! OK! Alum or acrylic.

gnubag · « **Reply #490 on:** Sat, 16 February 2013, 03:08:49 »

how about a sandwich of alum and acrylic, so value and awesomeness are balanced

actually you could make it for the gh60 since they have (or will have) the same mounting, so it is getting cheaper because of the amount of orders.

I'm currently designing a all alum. case:

Finally got around to putting this in my poker. Unfortunately the space bar stab is one of those bendy cherry ones and it soooo doesn't work (did I put the wire in upside down? Don't remember). So rather than toss my now pretty hefty pcb at the nearest wall, I set it aside to be once again desoldered in its entirety. Once I cool off a bit first. Maybe 5 days or so.

Boooo

I heard that you were having troubles with the stabilizers. I never even knew that the pokers came with a non-straight spacebar wire. You should be able to just get a straight wire. But I think that also means desoldering :(

yea I will more than likely swap wires with my race which has a straight wire. I thought I was done with desoldering .... :( I hope my $11 NexxTech pump holds up. It's not very good to begin with.

I've always loved the soldapullt

YoungMichael88 · « **Reply #497 on:** Wed, 19 June 2013, 22:41:42 »

Yea I'm gonna need to get one. This Nexxtech one is too small I think. Not a long enough stroke or big enough body(?) so not as much suction power as the soldapullt would have.

I had the same problem after I installed my plate. I ended up taking a pair of snips to the cherry stabilizer to avoid having to unsolder the switches again. I replaced it with a costar stab, of course that lead to a problem with the backlight led. :) I ended up de-solder the led and sanding it down a bit to get it to fit with the costar stab.

I'm trying figure out shortcuts to avoid desoldering but I'm just gonna have to nut up and do it. You may see a WTB thread going up for a new poker PCB once I'm through with this thing haha. Plates are a pain in the ass but in the end it's going to be worth the effort.

EDIT: I'm too impatient to wait for costar stabs haha
