any numbers update on how many units sold?
Can't release this information, sorry.
I hope you do change your mind and release at least like 100 figures as it does affect purchasing decisions.

Flippers want to know how rare the board will be.

So wait, you only want to get in on this GB if it's sold in low quantities?  Not because you want to support the GB organizer and/or genuinely appreciate the product - do I have that right?

Sounds elitist, but then QA might be more consistent with lower quantities.

Elitest, and also a bit hyperbole.  When's the last time the GB for a custom board went over 700 units? (inb4 it's way more common than I think)

Without caps, I'm sure plenty of customs would. Keycult had 2500+ people join their raffle. LZ Physix got to around 250 units before the GB was shut down early. I'm sure Rama's boards have sold that much.

Also, I've heard PVD is a b*tch to QC. So the fact that is an unlimited GB with that in mind makes the worry about total units sold a valid concern IMO.

Sure, but PVD is an addon.  Standard units come with the more unique weight, IMO.  SS is neat!

I was looking forward to a black PVD option for the weight. I was expecting it to be a replacement option, but it turned out to be a whole other option. I need to be responsible with my keeb money so I decided to not get it (as much as it breaks my heart) and just look for some local service to coat and color the raw SS weight.

That's a good idea, actually!  For me, I went with the grey case so I think the SS weight will look pretty dope as-is!

I have finally stumbled upon a keyboard layout I was looking for! I got fed up with 60% - which can be limiting for MOBAs with a lot of micro-control. Anyway, I'm planning on using KAM Wraiths and Bushido Stabs. Since I own a keyboard that has plate mounted Gateron Clears (and I am very happy with the overall performance), I got really used to them due to my excessive gaming and typing/coding sessions. Would you recommend using those same switches on this PCB? I guess it could be more prone to damage since the plate provides a feeling of sturdiness, but I don't mind re-soldering new switches. Or, if you'd recommend an alternative? I have previously used Cherry Reds, but I have a feeling that a heavy 3-year usage has taken its toll  :eek:

If you're into linears, maybe get some creams and lube them up to avoid scratchy switches. Any switches will do, just up to you.

This is the second leaf-spring keyboard I've seen (first being Thermal). But is anyone else concerned about the PCB's life span? Thermal was a plate-based leaf-spring, while 7V is a PCB-based leaf-spring. I'm no material engineer, or familiar with how much flex a PCB can withstand, but some of the joints are near "hot-zones"(places where people tend to button mash keys. E.g there's one next to the arrows keys). Slight flexing from thousands of keypresses over 10 years adds up.

Again, I'm not familiar with material fatigue or the materials used in PCBs in general, but I'm interested in informed opinions. Replacing a uniquely designed PCB such as the 7V's would be nearly impossible 10 years from now.

I asked on the discord and no one seemed too concerned(due to the polymers used in the PCB), so maybe it's just me. I figured I'd also ask the GH community.

I'm definitely excited for this GB.

I'm no expert, but it was my understanding that the plate and the dampener would help against button mashing.

I'm not concerned. The materials used in PCBs are flexible and, if you are truly concerned, you should just buy an extra PCB or two.

I always buy an extra anyways.

Would it be possible to use plate-mount switches in this in some capacity? I understand that this is primarily a PCB mount system but with the aluminum plate + foam ontop I was wondering if the switches will be more secure? I have some switches that I unfortunately already clipped to work in my current plate mount board :(

Yes, you can use plate mounted switches. It will be harder to get them straight but it's not too bad. One of the prototypes was built with box clickies which come as plate mount only.

Just buy extra PCBs because the part might fail? How about seeing some force tests to show there isn't a point of failure? This community will buy anything :rolleyes:

Nothing to do with the plate, talking about the thin strips on the PCB.

Need to emphasize that I'm not saying definitely it's a problem, just asking for proof that it's not.

Everything is going to be inspected by one of our collaborative team at the factory before even shipping out. We are accounting for the defect rate by making sure that we order plenty of extras on that part. PVD is very tricky to get right, but we are doing everything possible to make sure that there are no hiccups.

I can't speak for the PCB, as I am not an engineer, but from the samples I have, it would seem very unlikely that someone could break this from normal usage.

Ordered the grey one, and planning a keyset around it.

Congrats gok and mgsickler — can't wait to get it! This is going to be a stunning addition. Wish I had to funds to get two though. 😅

How is that a good response?

Just buy extra PCBs because the part might fail? How about seeing some force tests to show there isn't a point of failure? This community will buy anything :rolleyes:

No response to the question about PVD QC is another confidence-booster.

Everything is going to be inspected by one of our collaborative team at the factory before even shipping out. We are accounting for the defect rate by making sure that we order plenty of extras on that part. PVD is very tricky to get right, but we are doing everything possible to make sure that there are no hiccups.

I can't speak for the PCB, as I am not an engineer, but from the samples I have, it would seem very unlikely that someone could break this from normal usage.
