You had another combined order at 51xx, so that's why it got sent out. It wasn't considered a 57xx order in the queue.

Oh. Well that explains that. Thanks anyways <3

Got my stabs massdrop shipping notification. Hyped. :)

Massdrop orders got theirs first? Are there any news on order numbers 47xx orders from zeal?

The original plan was to have everyone's order out before Massdrop's, but unfortunately due to the screw delay, it messed up the timing. Plenty of stabilizer orders actually went out before Massdrop's box was shipped. Not everyone posting in here is representative of the hundreds of boxes that went out already with the screw-in stabs.

I've actually shipped up to a portion of 51xx. Any outstanding order either has a Zeal60 holding it back or 62g Zealios (which I happened to have found the missing box of switches hidden under a pile of foam). Currently shipping/packing the remaining orders with 62g as we speak. If you think your order was accidentally missed, please send me a PM/email (preferred).

Don't have any zeal60 orders..Only the 1pc 62g zealios and stabs and the rest are more zealios and aristotles if you still remember that..

Most likely packed already. Just needs to be printed. You can PM me your order # to double check if you wanted.
PM'd here and also on email. Thanks Zeal!

Solved. Order was shipped today, notification email most likely went to spam.

All Zeal60s are undergoing a few capacitor swaps. Gonna spend the Christmas weekend getting through those. Earliest a PCB will start shipping would be next week, and continue into early January.

I figured this would be the case. I'm going to be out all next week, so it doesn't matter too much if I don't get it during then.

Hey Zeal, thanks for the super awesome communication. Any idea when Order #55XX is going out? I had 100 67g and 2x stab's. I know you said by Christmas but wondering if the new screw holdup is delaying anything.

Thanks!

@Zeal: I just bought 120x Zealencio Clips - order #61xx. To preface I'm having the order shipped to my little brother just in case Paypal raises any risk concerns from the different addresses. I actually work in the online payment space so just want to be thorough :) other than that, can't wait to have those clips in hand and typing with them  :thumb:

Zealencios and stabs arrived safe, sound, and all screws intact. 

For the majority of my mx whites it doesn't seem like the zealencios will interfere with the stem sprue enough to matter.  There are a few extra long ones that I may have to trim but that is easily done by wedging an xacto between the stem and base of the sprue.

Hi Zeal, I just got my shipping notification for 100 silencing clips, but I 'upgraded' my order to 120. Is this just an automated message based off the original order?

I just realized some orders that were shipped during Dec 21-24 time frame didn't have the "send customer email when shipped" box checked...-facepalm- Not sure what happened as that box is usually auto checked. If you didn't get a shipping notification email and have an account on my site, your order should show as fulfilled. Orders via DHL all get a text/email, so it mostly only affects CanPost orders. 

Pretty much all GB orders have been packed and shipped. Less than 5 regular GB orders waiting on a small item(getting more SIPs in)/waiting to be combined with Lustro/weaven. Will get those orders out whenever everything arrives.

PCB orders will start going out Tuesday? (iirc DHL here takes an extra day off after Christmas). Will be spending the Christmas weekend swapping out caps and packing/shipping PCB orders.

If anyone has any questions about anything, please feel free to send me an email. Thanks.

Don't have my Zeal60 yet, but I'm trying to figure out how to make RGB LED underglow work (as there is a breakout for it, but it's officially unsupported).

If anyone else also wants to try underglow, I'm making a small guide: https://gist.github.com/tusing/b9e58480d67a9f3e5932ba27096643c6

This guide is completely untested, so any help in fixing mistakes, etc. would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah, seems like some DHL warehouses had overtime deliveries in the east coast and delivered on Saturday.

No update in that department, but let's try and keep the two GBs separate in their respective threads.

45xx order here. I appreciate Zeal's transparency and I'll happily wait some more for everything to come as expected (Zeal60, Zealencios, stabs, switches).

Always remember: compared to some other group buys (round 5, 5a, 6 @DT) this is lightning speed!

So: Keep up your amazing work Zeal! :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

Got my stabs, switches and silencing caps. The stabs are a great upgrade over the Chinese fakes I had before. Removing those and installing the Zealio stabs with the plate in place was a huge pain in the ass but I succeeded! The 67g switches also seem more stable and nicer than the R3 65g I currently use.

Unfortunately I was not that happy with the silencing clips. I am experiencing some missed keys or duplicated inputs and they seem to get caught a bit on my JTK keycaps.

My question is, what is the correct way to remove the silencing clips? They seem to be stuck in really hard. :(

Unless JTK have a fatter stem than GMK/Cherry caps, it shouldn't cause any interference. Both sides have to click in to be properly mounted.

To remove the clips, use a small precision flat head and gently pry on one end then the other. It should pop off quite easily.

Are you talking about the anchor/pivot point where the wire sits in the stab housing? There should only be a tiny bit of free movement, which is the same as found as authentic Cherry PCB mount housings. It's needed to glide smoothly with the stabilized keys. Wire diameter is already 1.6mm, which is the same as proper Cherry wires. I haven't found or heard of any issues the the current stabilizer design.

Yes, exactly that point. When I look into the gap between my spacebar and case and press on the sides I can see the wire moving around a bit, which doesn't really happen on my Cherry stabs, which are a pretty tight fit. Maybe mine are just weird? I dunno. It is also amplified when the wire is routed south of the switch.

Well, the wire doesn't really move left/right unless you poke it. :)) Maybe it's the smoothness giving it a slippery feel?
Spacebar stabs go up and down with the keycap, so I don't see it being an issue. BTW, which PCB has the spacebar wire that's South facing? Nearly all custom PCBs have it North. Do the plastic ends of the stabs  have anything to push against?

The wire isn't moving left/right but up/down (on a 2d top view, so the wire is moving north/south in the housing).
The PCB is a TX87 PCB, Leeku L3 based. The stabhousing is stable, just the wire moving around. If you want I can try making video of it tomorrow/later today(depending from which timezone you are looking at it).
I've got at least a millimeter of wobble when I press on the ends of the cap.

Wire shouldn't be significantly moving up/down freely when anchored in the housing, so please provide a video if possible. It would be a lot more clear so I/we can find a solution to your issue. Is this only affecting the spacebar, or all stabs? Cause 1mm of movement sounds like the wire wouldn't snap in in place anymore, which isn't normal.

Wire shouldn't be significantly moving up/down freely when anchored in the housing, so please provide a video if possible. It would be a lot more clear so I/we can find a solution to your issue. Is this only affecting the spacebar, or all stabs? Cause 1mm of movement sounds like the wire wouldn't snap in in place anymore, which isn't normal.

All stabs except the enter one which has the wire north-facing. I'll make a video tomorrow.
