Do we have a payment deadline yet?

From the OP:

"1)      Ordering + verifying ordering: around 2 weeks
 2)      Payment: two weeks for price of the board, shipping will be billed separately."

So 2 weeks from February 12, or ~February 26.

im sure interstellar black is just a deep black alu color but.. does anyone have some images of what it looks like as the case? possibly next to other colors offered in this GB?

I'm pretty sure it's gonna be the same as the plate with the blue case in the sample pictures

I'm not 100% sure if it will be the same finish, but a black color prototype was posted in the IC thread: http://imgur.com/a/PWJdb

I believe these were taken by the factory, and I'm not sure what weight that is.  But I linked photos of the brass weight yesterday:

Posting more MIRA prototype photos for ninja, who's having computer troubles:

Please note the sand-blasted texture of that prototype brass weight.  It was hand-polished as a test.  Personally I'm a fan of the sand-blasted texture.
Color accuracy is also not 100%.

i like that sandblasted weight also. any other type of finish work is probably too expensive and beyond the scope of this project. that being said, i would like to polish the bottom-facing surfaces of the binary stars myself. i think that would look dope

It's fully anodized, just without any dye, so the result is silver anodized surface.

That was one of the earlier prototypes, not MIRA SE.  As far as I know, there are no plans to make any more after this GB.  If you really want red, you can always re-anodize a case locally, though that will cost a good deal more money.  If you want a good quality red keyboard, you can try looking for a red Duck Orion kit on the Classifieds.

OK thank you! I'm more interested in this board than the red casing so I'll probably join the bandwagon anyways haha :D

Great! I was also wondering what the difference between a stainless steel and aluminum top plate would have besides weight? If I want to put linear switches in here, which one would be more optimal, or does it not really matter?

Steel is denser/heavier, more rigid.  Less dampening for your fingertips if you punch your keys hard :)  It's not that there will be any plate bending with a rigid case like this, but there will be some difference in sound/dampening.  If you want a softer typing experience, pick aluminum.  If you're going to use something like MX Clears stock, steel is fine for fingers.  That's my personal subjective opinion.  Also, since this keyboard design uses top-mounted plate, even the steel shouldn't be too bad on fingers.
(There are plastic keyboards with steel plates, like Filcos, but they feel soft to type on because of the softer plastic case.  Metal plate + metal case = noticeably more rigid/dense.)

Yeah, I pretty much agree as well. I've heard some interesting things, like since stainless steel is more rigid, it'll be more true to the force curves of the switches, but it goes beyond that, of course. Force curves don't really tell you much about the impact you're putting on your joints when you're bottoming out on a switch. For tactile -ALPS- switches, using a steel plate in a rigid case with something like Alps SKCM Brown or SKCM Amber is killer on your joints, even SKCM Orange got to me on my bent case Infinity and caused mild RSI. 
 
One of the most pleasant typing experiences I've had has been with my NCR Alps build with SKCL Browns, using an original OEM Alps plate in a G8X-3000 case. It has just enough flex, and the case makes it softer too, so it just ends up being very pleasant.
 
On an aluminum custom, if you want a more rounded feel, I'd go with aluminum plates. Linears do feel good in rigid cases though, but I think they'd feel good with aluminum too.

I also agree that top-mounted cases are much more forgiving on one's fingers. Tray cases are much more harsh in comparison. There is more inherent flex in the plate on top-mounted designs, but this isn't necessarily a bad thing. Too much rigidity is bad and so is too much flex.

I've seen the above statement mentioned quite frequently.
I want to say that it's subjective based on personal preference.
For instance, I prefer steel plates for tactile switches over aluminum.
If possible, I recommend experiencing different plate/switch combinations.

I originally subscribed to this, however my SKCLs feel quite nice on a very bendy alu plate, G80s with Blacks are PCB mount, and at least the 356 Mini was designed to be used with linears without a plate supporting the alphas and an extra flexible PCB.

So yeah, no hard and fast rules.

True that, true that.

Definitely subjective and more a thing of preference. It's the same kind of thing you see when people debate if ABS or PBT goes better with this or that kind of switch. It's all subjective and the things you hear people recommend are coming from their personal preferences and/or indoctrination, lol.

AFTER ORDERS CLOSE on February 12 at noon EST, I will be posting a link in the first post to a spreadsheet with your order summaries where you can identify your order by your username. 

The summaries will include what you ordered and your kit price (with PayPal fee noted), which will then be reflected on your PayPal invoice.

PLEASE CHECK YOUR ORDERS USING THAT LINK!

Just noticed this in the Mech27 GB thread--a pretty good approximation of what the MIRA acrylic diffuser will look like with lights on:

https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=84703.msg2359120#msg2359120

I think our diffuser is slightly thinner, and you won't see those bolts through the acrylic, as they will be neatly covered by the aluminum "standoffs" from the bottom piece.

The circles gradually evolved to the larger being an"O" the size of the MIRA and the smaller "o" looking more like an apostrophe. The larger one is shrinking slightly, the smaller one is increasing somewhat to be more like binary suns instead of "O'MIRA". Thus I can't give you an exact measurement yet.

Just to confirm before I pull the trigger, if I want such a look I should get the interstellar with brass weights and not lunar gray right? It looks like there's a tint of green to me :)

Stainess steel weight + lunar gray.

Thanks  :thumb:

Sorry, I edited my post.  It should be brass (I asked).  That photograph makes it look more silver, but brass is more golden.  If you want silver, get stainless steel.  Photos of the brass weight are here:

Please note the sand-blasted texture of that prototype brass weight.  It was hand-polished as a test.  Personally I'm a fan of the sand-blasted texture.
Color accuracy is also not 100%.

No worries :) also, if we want to declare it as a certain amount do we PM someone?
