Through the google form, should be fine!
Thanx for making this, it is life saver for me! I like Core very much, but without solid programing options ... it is a little annoying to use.
Ordered one Atom47 of course.
does anyone know how much it would cost to get it shipped to Canada?My US proxy says about 10 usd, hope that can help you :)
Thanks
When does this group buy end(I kind of want 2!)? and when are they expected to be shipped? sorry, this is my first group buy I have joined and didn't see that information anywhere.
I can't wait for this. It will be really nice having the option of a staggered 40% in my rotation again, the lack of programming options really let the core down for me. Does anyone know of any options for replacement caps for this keyboard? The layout I've designed means the standard caps will be pretty much useless to me (I will be using the standard layout in terms of key placement and sizes though).The sets from PrimeKB and some others including GMK Laser are compatible. Don't know of any others at the moment.
I like the look of the bounty hunter set. Is there no blank cap options that would work?
This looks awesome! I've not bought a pcb for a keyboard before, which components are already included/soldered and what would I need to get it working, other than the switches?
How do I cancel? Ignore the invoice?
I ruined the Vortex Core aluminum case with Dremel while removing a couple of stuck screws so I'm just going to harvest its MX Clear switches to use on a Planck.
Before all, thank you @maartenwut! I was looking for a 40% for months! I'm more active on reddit so I was a real stroke of luck when I have seen your message on Discord.
Since I'm starting in the 40% world, some recommendation of where we can buy a proper plate for this pcb?
Edit: I've already filled the form :)!
Cheers from Spain,

I wish it had iso left shiftSorry, it's not possible to split any key under 2u's. The left shift is 1.75u's.

Thanks! Do you have a Vortex Core? If you don't, how would you use this PCB?

hehe nope, I have not the Vortex Core, but I feel dare and I want to do a handcrafted case and so on, but since I don't have a big knowledge about the plates on the market I would want to explore more options before taking the decision of making my own plate.
If I were making a universal plate for this PCB, to support all layout options available on that PCB, it would look something like this:You can use my scan (here (https://github.com/Maartenwut/vortex-core/blob/master/vortex_core_plate.png)) to check the mounting holes.Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/mUDfBDq.png)
Edit: I think those screw mounting hole locations are correct, I would just need to confirm that with maartenwut. :)
Or you could do a "sandwich" style case, like this:Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/LWgZxlX.png)

Any was to change shipping method before the invoice due date?
Any chance of a late addition? If not, if anyone has ordered two and wants to sell one, let me know. I'm in Australia btw.

Unfortunately it was impossible to get two unless one would use a friend to get another one... :thinking:
I'll be doing another round later of course :)

Sure, attached is the CAD drawing for the universal plate.Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/mUDfBDq.png)
Does anyone know the screw size the core uses? Two of my screws were stripped and I lost the last three I had somehow so I need to get some new ones to keep my plate on.
just picked up a vortex core and found out about this drop. will there be any reruns? thanks!Yes, and I will be selling leftovers of this round.
When does this group buy end(I kind of want 2!)? and when are they expected to be shipped? sorry, this is my first group buy I have joined and didn't see that information anywhere.
I'm honered to be your first GB :D
February 16th - GB ends, invoices being sent
March 10th - Invoices paid, PCB's ordered
March 20th - PCB's arrived and shipped a few days later to participants
This is just an estimate, but I hope I'll be able to get it to buyers before April 1st.

Hey bro! any news about the shipping??
Will there be any other components aside from the keyswitches and leds that we will have to solder on?
Any extras available to buy? Do you happen to know if someone makes this for the Vibe as well? Someone on reddit said that someone made one for the Vibe but I can't seem to find it.
How does the stabilizer go into the plate? I am swapping mine out but cannot get it in. Does the bar go above or below the plate?
Do you think the board is sturdy enough to withstand the insertion force of the initial installation?
Also, are the solder holes standard sizing?
Kind of important update to some:Ah, thank you! I was attempting to make one just for the 7u layout but was getting extremely hesitant going through without 100% confirming I have the screw holes precisely where they need to be.
I'll put the pcb design on github after shipping for everyone to be able to make their own case/plate.
I'm getting a quote for the universal plate that was posted on page 1.There were about 85 sold during the group buy and there is interest for more.
How many of these were manufactured, and how many were sold in the group buy? That will give me an approximate upper bound on the number of orders I might need.

Nice work! Round 2 or extras for sale when <_<
who was the Australian proxy? Will see if I can hit them up to sell me an extra
Hey, so I finally got through to re-flashing the QMK since I had got an XD75RE and was looking into adjusting the layout of that.
So far, all went well reflashing the XD75RE. But when it came to plugging in the Atom47 board, I just got the white lite on the caps lock, hit the reset button (also tried PN + right CTRL to go into reset) and got blinking white LED under caps lock, but the QMK Toolbox didn't see/connect to the Atom47 PCB. Is there something that I am missing here? I have atmega32u4, at90usb1286, atmega32u2, atmega16u2 as the microcontrollers.
I tried turning it off and on again and still no luck. I'm having a fear it might be bricked, because I can't type on it anymore when I used to prior. But nothing has changed since I was last using it to type on the default maps. It was working, but just been shelved for a few weeks.
This is my first bit into QMK boards, so any bit of help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Well, went back and swapped USB cables... it worked. /smacks head
But now the darn caps lock LED doesn't want to turn off. What is turning on the white LED under the tab/caps lock? It's not tied to caps lock (at least when I'm toggling it) so I'm a bit perturbed what it is. Is it stuck on a layer or something?

Not sure what it was, but if you are using the configurator it's been fixed now.
Good day OP,
Any plans for a rd 2 since I missed out on this.

Thanks for the update. I'll give it a shot. Thankfully I had been a bit procrastinating on fixing the light being on and was just going to desolder it off. I've been adjusting my key binds with the configurator but haven't flashed it to the board. Been really liking it, the swapping of right shift and layer key was my favorite part, since it allowed me to do / and shift keys.
Is there going to be a round two of this GB?Yes, this year hopefully.
