PARTS OFFERED
Universal60 plates - DESIGNED BY JDCARPE - 25/30$ - original plates used in my two GBs before. Reliable and a favourite design by JDcarpe. Supports almost any layout imaginable. If you want winkeyless or HHKB layouts, without the winkeys i suggest going for the proprietary HHKB/winkeyless plates for better looks.

GON Nerd60 MEKANISK edition - 60$ - available in the exclusive colours mint and white. Read about the PCB here.
(http://i.imgur.com/2VnBwAq.jpg)
and will of course be available in mintblue colour!

Stabilisers - 8$ - available in both 7u and 6.25u from GON
HHKB and winkeyless plates - UNIVERSAL - DESIGNED BY JDCARPE - 25/30$ - these plates doesn NOT have a cutout where there are no keys used in the specific layout. This looks much better than looking through the plate and onto the PCB when there is no switch there.
Winkeyless(these are merged to a universal design in the final revision)

HHKB(these are merged to a universal design in the final revision)

Yeah it is, and the universal plate could be used with cases that have built in win blockers.
I was just wondering since he made one just for boards with blockers. ANSI only option would be really nice also ;D

Not sure if this has been asked...but will you ever be offering TKL universal plates?
I promise you, it has been asked.
Due to the postal courier here and their package size limitations, it will be very expensive to ship a TKL plate. I am looking into it though, and it will be available as soon I have figured it out!
Post by: LeandreN on Fri, 02 September 2016, 13:55:35
Yassssss been looking for an HHKB plate. Gonna go well with the Zeal60 PCB I got on order.
Are those the colors you'll be offering, or is that being finalized?
Colours are still being finalized. I need to limit the options so we don't get any rushed orders with low quality anodizing, but at the same time give a wide variety of options. It will be anounced soon.
Thanks for the support!
Post by: LeandreN on Fri, 02 September 2016, 13:56:29
Waiting for the order form to understand the details. I have the royal glam wooden case coming from Massdrop soon, I'm thinking this would be perfect for it. Now... which switches?? I've got zelios 65s, cherry blue, cherry red, cherry brown and matias click already. Need something different from the Gateron world... maybe browns?
I will be offering Gateron browns here, if that is what you want. The group buy is mainly for 60% mechanical keyboard parts though.

As an engineer who works with CFRP on a regular basis, can you explain more? I assume these are just dyed/painted for the top layer ply right? Prepregs don't come in silver as far as I know (but then again, the prepregs I work with are used for structural purposes, not particularly concerned with aesthetics)

Are diodes, resistors, and SMDs all presoldered on the PCB?

TIA
1. Diodes and Resistors were soldered from last GB so I assume they will be this round.
2. SMDs you will need to do yourself. RGB smds are not compatible with GON.
3. Cherry Stabs? What kind? Plate or PCB...? PCB mounted stabs is a yes.
Toolkit? GON has software made for dummies like ourselves.

Just a may be stupid question. On the layouts it states on both options, Winkeyless and HHKB, that the spacebar is 7u... Why not 6.25? In HHKB makes even more sense, isn't it?
I guess because having a HHKB layout with 6.25u spacebar would be asymmetrical. Also the PCB wouldn't support 1.25u+1u on the sides (I don't think... but I could be wrong)

this is correct - you can't really make a 100% copy of the hhkb on a mx keyboard, as all the universal pcb's etc. are designed around either 1.25 - 1.25 - 1.25 - 6.2 or 1.5 - 1 - 1.5 - 7, so the best way to make it look as hhkb as possible is to just remove the 1.5x mods on the side.
When does this gb open sir? and when will it close?

PCB support for the real layout just isn't there especially with all the universal 60 PCBs.
Symmetry isn't a good thing in my opinion tho. Love the unsymmetrical look of a real hhkb and things to be unsymmetrical in general.

Actually, I asked for something in the EU lol
Jokes aside, the problem is that GBP prices are too high... I mean, gaterons from mechsupply and caps-unlocked cost ~0.40 (if not 0.50) € per switch. The ~0.27€/switch by LeandreN (if I recall correctly) would have been just perfect (also, the price of shipping is lower with this GB).

Get it from widebasketshop on Ebay or search for switches on Aliexpress
Edit: if you're just looking for a small amount of switches (enough to fill a 60%), I've got some spares lying around, can sell them to you if you want. What types and how many are you looking for? I've got some Gateron green, blue and browns

Good to know.
Soldered a Nerd60 recently and have another one from LeandreN's last GH lying around but never noticed apperantly.
If you compare to an actual hhkb it would still look different.
On the real one it seems like it's slightly shifted to the right to make it look more balanced?!
I think it still wouldn't look right tbh.
1.0,1.5,7.0,1.5,1.0 is still the best bet so guess :D

The keys align to the same thing as the real HHKB if you remove the outer keys on a Realforce/MX board. It would be just like the HHKB with the same aligned comfortable bottom row the real HHKB has.
For example starting from homerow move both your left&right pinky directly down to hit the 1u Alt keys they are perfectly aligned under them on the real 6.00u HHKB setup. Do the same with your ring finger and they perfectly align to hit 1.5u keys on the real HHKB. If you try that with a 7u spacebar the left pinky will hit the 1u key and the right will hit the right 1.5u key, your right ring finger would hit the spacebar also. IMO 6u spacebar HHKB is the best as it matches the real thing.

Due to demand, I might add switches as an option later, if i manage to find a good and fast way to manage them, but nothing can be confirmed as of now.
Keep the orders and questions coming!
If you need something right now, you can buy it here:

Hey!
The orders are now open.
I made the decision to cut out the switches of this group buy due to multiple reasons, I am very sorry for those that intended to buy these from me. Luckily they are available elsewhere.
Let me know immediately if there are any problems with the order form.
I will update with stats and such later.
Thanks for your patience, if we want this GB to go through, I need as many orders as possible. The MOQ for the PCBs are 120.

I was going to buy some gaterons :(
Where is an "elsewhere" inside the EU (if any)?
Mechsupply and Caps-unlocked should have a few gateron packs left. If not, you could try aliexpress or use a taobao proxy
Actually, I asked for something in the EU lol
Jokes aside, the problem is that GBP prices are too high... I mean, gaterons from mechsupply and caps-unlocked cost ~0.40 (if not 0.50) € per switch. The ~0.27€/switch by LeandreN (if I recall correctly) would have been just perfect (also, the price of shipping is lower with this GB).
Get it from widebasketshop on Ebay or search for switches on Aliexpress
Edit: if you're just looking for a small amount of switches (enough to fill a 60%), I've got some spares lying around, can sell them to you if you want. What types and how many are you looking for? I've got some Gateron green, blue and browns
Already did that. Still, customs increase prices too much, I'm in the worst part of eu from that point of view :(
Anyway, thanks very much for your offer! I was going to buy some blacks. I think I'll stick to cheery switches (that at least are shipped from germany).
I'm sorry for the off topic, I was just curious to know if there was another european alternative for gaterons.

Hi Leandre, have you got any pictures of what the mint green PCB lookds like (I would like to see what shade of green it is mainly), I was thinking of getting a white one as it's the safe option, but mainly because I'm unsure what the green one is gonna look like.

1) I'm torn between a Winkey and HHKB. I have never owned or used a HHKB style board before but intrigued by the idea. I liked the symmetrical layout and the corners show a bit of the color from the plate. Winkey has more keys and on a programmable board that means something to me. Can anyone suggest one style over the other? And why?
2) In your opinion, what is the best alum case and acrylic case for this board?
3) @LeandreN have you had any trouble with orders shipped untracked to US in any of your rounds?

I will say that HHKB is more popular, but I don't really.use the layout myself, so it's kind of difficult for me to say.
2) In your opinion, what is the best alum case and acrylic case for this board?
I do think TEX cases will fit without problems, since there are no LEDs mounted. I'll check it up.
3) @LeandreN have you had any trouble with orders shipped untracked to US in any of your rounds?
Yes, once to nonconus USA. I don't think I have had any other problems in any of the 400+ packages I have sent to the USA.

Yes stabilisers have to be pcb mount, but you can use both pcb or plate mount switches, no problem there!

Cherry stabilisers only AFAIK. Not sure about using Alps switches with it, maybe Leandre can clarify. In any case, probably not a good idea anyway, since you can't use Alps stabiliser for the mods.

Post by: GentlemanShark on Sun, 09 October 2016, 14:52:28
Of the cutouts are the same the main cluster will fit with ALPS switches, the thing is that everywhere where you have a choice with switch placement, or you have a 2u stabilized key you won't be able to fit ALPS switches, they'll just fall through the plate. Also, as it was already said, ALPS stabilizers won't work.So it won't work?

do I need stabilizers? if so, will these work on the PCB?Yes, you do and you're looking at a premium product. 50 USD for a stabilizer set is quite a lot. LeandreN is also offering PCB mount stabilizers, in this GB, for a much lower price.
https://zealpc.net/collections/accessories/products/zealstabilizers (https://zealpc.net/collections/accessories/products/zealstabilizers)
when using an HHKB plate and layout... what options should I choose from that site?You would need a 7u spacebar wire for the stabilizer.
Post by: ReverbSlush on Thu, 13 October 2016, 15:13:37
There is an option for a 7u and four 2u stabilizers for only 30... I can't remember if I picked any up from the form I filled out so I might get those.
So only for the spacebar? nothing needed for enter or shift keys? This is going to be awesome.

So only for the spacebar? nothing needed for enter or shift keys? This is going to be awesome.For a HHKB you need at least one 7u for the spacebar and one 2u for the enter key.
Need for other stabilizers really depend on your layout.
Remember you can split both shift keys and the backspace key, just like I did with mine (http://i.imgur.com/lqngqVy.jpg).

sweet! thanks for the answers.
There is an option for a 7u and four 2u stabilizers for only 30... I can't remember if I picked any up from the form I filled out so I might get those.
So only for the spacebar? nothing needed for enter or shift keys? This is going to be awesome.
As TalkingTree said, the ones here are only 8$ - so if you have no particular desire for clear/golden stabs, you really don't need to spend the extra money. Keep in mind also that these are not "pre-clipped" like Zeal's, but that is a simple process if you wanted to.
Also as TalkingTree mentioned, you'll need a 7u (space bar) and a 2u for the enter key - if you want the fourth row to be like an HHKB, you need a 2u for the left shift as well; you can also just split it into two 1u keys like he did.

I am slowly closing orders from today. If there are anyone that hasn't ordered, need to wait for something or anything similar, please just contact me and we will sort it out. Now is the time to share the link to people who hasn't heard of this GB yet.
GON is ready and will hire a worker than will do the QC for us here.
What do I have to do:
Convert some files for the silk screen and invocing when orders are closed.
I want to work on invoices soon, since this takes a long time. The people that will be invoiced first, are the people that ordered first.
I can be contacted on support@mekanisk.co anytime.

1. Will all items be shipped from Norway?
2. Do I have to solder anything else than the Switches (and possibly LEDs) itself?
3. Is it likely that the orders will be shipped until the end of 2016?
Thank you very much!

I am interested in ordering a PCB and a carbon plate. I regularly read r/mechanicalkeyboards and recently got ISO-DE DS PBT Keycaps for my almost 10 year old steelkeys 6G (Cherry MX Black). But I am still new to customizing/building keyboards, so I have some basic questions:
1. Will all items be shipped from Norway?
2. Do I have to solder anything else than the Switches (and possibly LEDs) itself?
3. Is it likely that the orders will be shipped until the end of 2016?
Thank you very much!

Yes, they are shipped from Norway.
You only need to solder switches and LEDs.
Yes, it is likely that this GB ships before the end of 2016, but you can never be 100% sure in a GB.

I'm a noob when it comes to custom keyboards (and this is my first GB). I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of how I should proceed to build a sandwich style keyboard with floating keys, using the pcb and plate from this GB?
Hi!
A sandwhich case requires a special plate. I would suggest buying a full kit from 1upkeyboards.com.
http://1upkeyboards.com/index.php?cPath=42 Here is a link to their keyboard kits section.

So the plate from this GB is meant for a Poker style case?
What about standoffs for the pcb, are they universal? Or will I have to get a custom case?

the plate from this GB is meant for a Poker style case?Both plate and PCB fit a Poker (or 60%) case.
What about standoffs for the pcb, are they universal?Standoffs are part of the case.
will I have to get a custom case?If you wish, or you can get a standard case (http://www.ebay.com/itm/60-White-Mechanical-Keyboard-Plastic-Case-Universal-Frame-For-GH60-For-Poker-/232046320457?hash=item360709db49:g:EDwAAOSw9NdXrZ-4).
Post by: tinyprawn on Sat, 15 October 2016, 21:01:31
Also, how customizable is the backlight? I saw there are 3 types: in-switch, on PCB, and side LEDs... but can the in-switch LEDs be addressed individually?
Post by: TalkingTree on Sun, 16 October 2016, 01:37:29
Is it safe to assume the PCB doesn't have the bluetooth option?It has the BT slot but the module is not included, you have to source it yourself.
can the in-switch LEDs be addressed individually?No.

A little update.
Now I have placed the order for the steel, aluminium and carbon fibre plates. I am waiting on some confirmation with GON. We are going to have both my "MEKANISK"-logo on the PCBs, along with the 1upkeyboards logo, because they decided to dive in and save our colour MOQ. I really appericate what they do to help all of us, not just me with this group buy.
As many of you know, I only invoice after I have all the quotes and invoices from the factories so the money leave me immediately.
I am going to send out an update mail later.
Thanks for your patience.

Yes, you would have to pay double shipping, but I think I can make that possible. Just email me near the shipping date.

I wanted to update you with the current status.
The orders has been closed for 1 week. None of you have recieved invoices yet, this is because I still have some things to make this go smoothly.
During this week, I have recieved the invoice for both the steel and the carbon fibre orders.
I have yet to recieve an invoice from GON with the PCB, and the aluminium place.
I have no estimates now, but invoicing will begin as soon as I have those. Once I have enough to pay GON, I will pay him, and then the rest of the parts shortly after, this way the money are with me the shortest time possible. This also ensures more waiting before the payment, less waiting after the payment.

(http://i.imgur.com/7EshGmG.png)
Anyway, as I said, he has recieved the payment and we have a timeline.
He will hire a part time worker, update the firmware and get everything packed. We are looking at a mid-December shipping date(to me) for the PCBs.
GON messaged me about trying to get the color as accurate as possible on the mint PCB.
This is what we came up with.

GON is also visiting the factory himself, which I think is great.
The Carbon Fibre and steel will ship withing two weeks, and the aluminium is in the raw material process.

Thanks for the kind words.
I messaged GON before the payment to tell him I was ready to "pay this week", turned out a little awkward due to autocorrect...Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/7EshGmG.png)
Anyway, as I said, he has recieved the payment and we have a timeline.
He will hire a part time worker, update the firmware and get everything packed. We are looking at a mid-December shipping date(to me) for the PCBs.
GON messaged me about trying to get the color as accurate as possible on the mint PCB.
This is what we came up with.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/YiTkfau.png)
GON is also visiting the factory himself, which I think is great.
The Carbon Fibre and steel will ship withing two weeks, and the aluminium is in the raw material process.

More of a mint-green, not mint-blue?
I'm sure it will look great. Just thought it would be a little more on the blueish side.

When I think of mint blue I think of the color of blue butter mints, or something close to that.

I have sent out some of the SEPA/manual invoices and I'll be working on getting them out asap.
If you haven't received your PayPal invoice, please let me know.
There are still some unpaid PayPal invoices, so I hope those can be paid asap.
GON is working in getting to the factory, and do all the things needed for the PCBs. Not much updates here.
The CF plates are here very soon. The steel plates will follow, then aluminium and lastly the GON PCBs, atleast as it looks now.
Any questions?

Also worth noting: You can order off of Tao Bao directly now using these instructions: https://www.reddit.com/r/FashionReps/comments/40pvkz/guide_how_to_order_from_taobao_from_outside_of/ There are 11/11 sales on there too, so you may find a case on there for even cheaper.

This is not really up to Leandre, the Aliexpress case is just slightly wider and longer than the standard Poker case, which this plate should fit into without much of a gap. Changing the plate to accommodate the larger dimensions of the Aliexpress case will break compatibility with Poker cases or cases that are manufactured to the same dimensions as the poker case.

Just hoping you didn't source it from AliExpress. They take forever to arrive and are more expensive than the ones you can find on Taobao. I just bought 3 KB's worth of parts this 11.11 sale for under $200 (alu plate, lambo/alu cases with weights, clear stabilizers, gaterons, AMJ60 pcbs) :p

Okay, so as I said, I have both the steel and carbon fibre plates.
Estimates for PCB and aluminium plates are both late December. I will try to effectively ship out orders as fast as I can when all the other parts are here.
Meanwhile, if there are any of you that ordered only steel or carbon fibre(maybe also a set of stabilisers), please send an email to contact@mekanisk.co and I can try to ship your order earlier.
Mekanisk.co will get stuff in stock, which is great for the European community, so please follow the site if you are interested.

It's lighter than the TEX, but it is not washed out.

Really like the colors. If you offered them in non-low profile I'd definitely get one. You think that could be a possibility in the future?

Hello group buy participants.
The PCBs now only need QC and flashing. Aluminium is still in production.
I have sent out two GB orders. Those two people emailed me on contact@mekanisk.co because they only had stabilisers, steel or carbon fibre in their order.
I do think I have invoiced some people that wanted tracked shipping with normal economy shipping, so please take a look at your invoice if you had tracked shipping as an option(or want to add it).

Question: There are some steel plates on Mekanisk.co and, by the look of the picture, they are universal. Is there any HHKB or Winkeyless variant available?
Yes! Sorry for the unclear description there. These are universal. You have first priority for the left overs from the group buy, but I can't sell before I am sure I have enough for every group buy order. ;)

Hi Leandre, at this point in the game is it still possible to add PCBs and/or plates to my order? Or are we strictly waiting till they are available on your shop and make a separate order?
I am sorry, you will have to wait :/ You can email me though, support@mekanisk.co about things shipping together, when they are available in the store :)

PCBs will be 65$ compared to 75$
Plates will increase by 5$.
Stabilisers will be 12$ like in the store.
I can only accept a few additions, due to the economy and availability. Do you think this is a good solution?

Hello, while we wait for the parts, I need your input on something.
What do you want to see in a 60% case?
I would really like to see a high profile 60% case that has the plate mounted to the upper case rather than the standard tray-mounted design where the PCB is screwed down to the case (like those fancy Kustoms). Not sure if there's enough demand for this type of case to get the price down to reasonable levels though :))

I didn't manage to jump on this group buy (my main board is round 4 though), and I agree, if there is some way to have a case that's somewhere between the 'kustoms' and a basic tray style that would be great. Not sure how it would work without having a custom plate that goes with it though.

Hello, this is just an early draft. Most of the things you talk about can't be seen if you'd had seen it the other ways around.
The point of this case is to be different, it's not going to be a sample 60% case.
EDIT:
Some clarifications.
The forward lip is not that high, I will get some measurements.
The bevels are sharp, but won't cut you :P
The angle is inwards, and does look odd from that specific angle.

Post by: LeandreN on Mon, 12 December 2016, 23:12:15
Interesting. Although a couple of things.
Why isn't the weight on the outer side? At least it can be seen with PCB mounted. Secondly, isn't that USB cutout too wide?
The weight can be seen through. The cutout is a little wide in the sample so we could make sure it would fit.
I'm getting real heavy iron man vibes with this red/black/gold render xDShow Image(http://i.imgur.com/rtLCc1i.jpg)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/4riAvcK.jpg)
I love the case though or at least what we can see so far.Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/ilahrdK.jpg)
That looks very nice, I'm still a bit concerned that the top lip looks a bit too sharp, but I'll hold judgement until I see actual cases. Weight insert looks very slick. What are the two huge circular cutouts for?
Edit: Wait is that a render or the actual picture of the case??
It looks really nice in real life. But I will take your suggestions into mind. This is just the sample weight insert, the final will be larger, and actual brass.
This is an actual case.

That's very nice! I thought it was a a fancy render for a moment! I still think the bevel makes the top lip a little bit too sharp, but obviously your case, your rules, personally I think making the bevel a little less agressive to leave about 1.5-2mm of straight lip wouldn't be too bad!
Other than that, everything else is fine and dandy :p

Just some quick updates.
The aluminium, steel and carbon fibre are with me now. I need to order some more shipping material from Staples, but as you can see on the shipping sheet, I have already started shipping.
The first batch GON PCBs is sent, after a very good quality control. We are in the middle of the shipping rush, which seems to delay EMS.
Have a nice day.

The shipment hasn't arrived yet, so GON are in contact with EMS, and I am in contact with the postal service here to locate, and get an estimate on when we can expect the shipment.
I will post any updates here.

EMS Korea tells us: that the shipment was last seen on a plane to Norway
The Norwegian Postal service(Norwegian EMS) tells us that the shipment has not reached Norway yet.
I have been to my local post office, and GON is working hard on the Korean side to track down the shipment as best as we can.
It is very crucial to me that we get this shipment.

Jokes aside, it might be the case that the package is held at the norwegian customs and therefore not yet seen by the EMS.
It is everyone who buys the non-custom keyboards and we are stuck waiting through all of the Christmas/Boxing Day packages!

Definitely could be that, but I have contacted the Norwegian Customs, and they never hold packages for more than 2 days, and they told me they did not have the package.

I bet they just stopped off in Moscow for some borscht and will be on the next flight.

Hey LeandreN, just saw your email this morning.
I think you're handling this as well as you could be asked to.
I guess this is the breaks of dealing in highly unique merchandise; sometimes shipments hiccup and we all get extremely nervous.
I've got lot of faith that it will resolve well and we'll all be getting a (bit late) holiday gift from Norway soon!
Thank you as always for your continued updates and service to the community.
Post by: duynguyenle on Tue, 20 December 2016, 11:46:10
Hope this is nothing serious. I've resigned to the fact that due to all the holiday craziness, I'm unlikely to receive anything before New Years anyway (this goes for multiple GB not just this one)!
On a related note, have a Groovy Christmas for everyone who celebrates Christmas around here! :thumb:

A similar thing happened the last time I got something shipped by EMS Korea (some Alps springs from Sprit), it stopped tracking from the airport onwards and took ages (like over a week) until it gets picked up again (apparently just waiting for customs clearance).

I also contacted Sprit to ask if he have had any experience with EMS shipping times. He told me that one of his packages used 14 days to get to England.
I will just give it time and update you when I get updates

I just wanted to let you know that the shipment we are talking about had the mint PCBs and that the white PCBs and stabilizers are still safe and sound in Korea.
These will not be moved before I have a plan for the Mint PCBs.
We have not received any information back from EMS on GONs side.
If this shipment is somehow lost in the Christmas rush, I need to make a plan on how to get these PCBs to the group buy participants, this will be an extremely difficult task for me, especially financially, but my first priority will always to get these out to the GB participants. Expect delays if this happens.
I am definitely running this group buy as a person, and not as a business.
No action will be taken before we have waited a while after Christmas.
GON has been super helpful, and told me he will do anything to help if the worst should happen.
Meanwhile, we just have to wait, for EMS's response.
If there are any question, contact me on support@mekanisk.co, here, or anywhere.
Merry Christmas, Happy holidays, or have a nice weekend to everyone here!

Excellent standards of communication as always!
I'm not sure about Germany, but here in the UK, if a bank holiday falls on a weekend, you get extra statutory holidays on the following week days to compensate, so businesses here are shut until end of today (27th Dec). If German agencies are similar, I wouldn't expect any movement on the packages until end of week :rolleyes:

So I am from Germany and this rule with the extra holidays for holidays on a weekend does NOT exist in Germany. So from today on there are regular working days and the next holiday (that is not on a weekend) is the 6th of January here. (But nevertheless many people might be on holiday)
That's good for us, but bad luck for all Germans this year :)

No news on the PCBs themselves, but I really can't do anything other than waiting. We will contact EMS again later, if it doesn't show up by next week.
I have been able to get some PCBs and parts from SPRiT that I want to stock in my store, these have nothing to do with this GB, but I just wanted to let you know that selling these parts will only affect me positively financially(which may or may not be needed, depending on where the package went) and not effect this GB of any sort.
The issue here is that we have to wait, if there was any other things stopping me from fulfilling, I would never do this.
I am all for democracy, so if this is an issue to you, please let me know. Here or by email support@mekanisk.co.
I am also doing a case GB which you may have seen over on deskthority.
https://deskthority.net/group-buys-f50/the-mountain-60-high-profile-keyboard-case-t15467.html
Since that GB involves finiancial risk, I am not willing to start it before I have a concrete plan for THIS GB.
TLDR:
Still waiting, will be here answering and updating
Stocking on some parts in my store which have nothing to do with this GB
Case GB on Deskthority when this is in box

We have an update from EMS. They told us they are now shipping 8th December packages from Germany. Our shipment was there the 9th.

After the first setup (which was really easy btw) I wanted to change one more key, but now I cannot change any key anymore.
The program loads just fine, I can remove keys (as in remove Caps Lock) but I cannot add anything (like replace the capslock with Ctrl).
Saving works.
Anyone got any idea?
EDIT: Nvm, seems like after a few restarts it works again.

While I bought my GON NerD60 pcb in Round 4 (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=79315.1100) I need some help with the Nerdy GUI (http://www.gonskeyboardworks.com/manuals/110-nerdy-gui.html).You can always go TMK on NerD60 :rolleyes:

I have now requested that GON send the white PCBs and stabilisers with DHL after we got an update from EMS today.
They told us that their packages after the 3rd quarter of each year often gets delayed. They told us that almost no packages go missing between Germany and Norway. This is quite a large package.
This was also an expected delay we were not informed by.
Usually the wait time is 1 month, but it looks like this year, it will be delayed further. (It's been a month very soon)
2 months is the maximum wait time ever recorded.
Thanks. Sorry for the delay!

Sorry, LeandreN, can you please clarify the update... I don't read this as great news quite yet. I understand your message to mean that your/ our package (including the mint green PCBs, etc) is nearly one month lost and they have yet to find it but packages are rarely/ never lost for more than two months. Is that correct or has the original package been located?
The second shipment of white PCBs you've asked GON to send via DHL is a replacement or additional parts of the same initial order?
Thanks for all the communication on this- we appreciate it!

Sorry if it wasn't cleared.
We shipped with EMS
It did not show up so we contacted them, after a while they told that due to the Christmas rush, it was expected to be delayed 1-2 months.
It has been 1 month soon.
They also told be that is very uncommon for them to loose packages of this size, and that this was an expected delay they hadn't told us about.
Has it been located?
They tell us it is in Germany, but we never know...
The shipment from DHL is all the white PCBs and stabilisers, not replacements for anything.

OK, thanks for that, LeandreN. So we may have another month until your shipment is located and then you will be able to distribute. Quite unfortunate, but, hey, as the bumper sticker says, "$h!^ Happens." No worries- we know you're tracking it all and we'll be keen to hear when the package has finally been found wandering the streets of Munich. :)

holy ****. I'm not in on this buy but godamn 1-2 month delay due to the "christmas rush" and that this is something they encounter a lot but didn't think to tell you about? lol such **** on their part.

Yup, not a great business model on EMS's part. Can't imagine if FedEx or UPS here in the US said "sorry, we're very busy, it will be 1-2 month delay..." Note to self: Never use EMS for anything ever, never, ever. :)
We're still with you LeandreN and I personally am not irritated with anything on the GB, IMO you run this all very well! I am however neurotic and impatient, so I will probably go find another plate to build my Zeal60 with now that all the other components are in and I'm only waiting on a plate which could take another 4-6 weeks to make it to me...

Shipment 1 of PCBs(mint) area delayed in Germany on the way to Norway. We are currently working on contacting and getting updates from EMS.
Plan:
While I can wait for this PCBs, I want to start the GB for the Fjell High Profile 60% case, therefore, I want to clarify the plan so you don't feel forgotten.
White PCBs:
White PCB orders, plate orders etc. will go out starting late next week.
Mint PCBs:
Get weekly updates from EMS via GON.
If they should arrive, I will be starting shipping within 2 days of arrival.
If they should not arrive in a timely matter, I am setting up a backup plan, but let's hope it's here very soon.
(I forgot to invoice some of you for tracked shipping, so I will be in contact about that. If you know that you wanted tracked shipping, you can contact me already so can i check up.)
This GB will have first priority. I hope to have some goodies for the participants later this year due to this delay.

This is the wild ride of our mint PCBs. Showing 33 days from Korea to Norway.
I am happy to tell you that the shipment landed in Norway, and that I have supplied the Norwegian Customs with the necessery documentation.
I expect them to have it here by early next week.
I want to thank GON for taking multiple phone calls with EMS, constantly updating me on the situation.
Updates
I am ordering extra HHKB steel plates, as a fast order, because I realize that I only had exactly enough to fullfill the GB. And one of them have minor scratches.
I am shipping out this week and next week and will continue until everything has shipped.

Today I shipped 10 orders. Please check the form. The reason I jumped some is that I can max ship 1/2 tracked package a day because it includes ~20 minutes extra work per package. I will try to do this more effecient in the future, but it requires a lot of manual labour.
Thanks!

Any news on whether you're going to get more stock of the aluminum cases?
I will be able to place an order for them soon. Maybe a couple of weeks, any colours you had in mind?

Green, please! I'm hoping it matches the plate, or least comes close. There's no rush, though. I was just wondering if/when that would happen again. Thank you for all your efforts!

Hi Guys,I'm 99% certain it doesn't. Someone did manage to get QMK to run on GON's boards which would allow this but it wasn't particularly straightforward.

Just a quick question: do you send the pcb's that go to Germany without tracking via registered mail? Haven't been away today and they tried to deliver a registered mail. Since I am only expecting on the pcb and an USBasp device, I wonder which of both would have been in the mail. Would be too sad if I missed the delivery of the PCB ;(I am.not sure what you mean by registered, but I would guess it is the USB device

Ordered a high quality label printer. Going to get into excel and word and remove a lot of the manual labour. Thanks for bearing with me here. Hope that those that have got their orders are happy, and I would love to see pictures posted.

I used these components:
- LeandreN R5\GON NerD60 PCB
- LeandreN R5 sandblasted steel plate
- 65g R4 Zealios & Gateron Yellows
- Pok3r aluminum case (want to get this sandblasted soon)
- HOLTITES for easy switch swapping (they fit very very tight with the PCB but it works)
- GMK Carbon
- No LEDs, bc this will be the keeb that I use at work most of the time. (Maybe I'll add indicator LEDs for layers later)

- Blue Aluminium plate from the GB
- Winkeyless b.face X2 PCB
- Lubed 62g Zealios
- Lubed Zeal Gold Stabilisers (amazing)
- TriC60 Case
I just quickly took these photos with my iPhone but I'll probably take some nicer ones with my SLR when I'm home over the weekend. Still not sure what to do with my teal PCB. I've been making acrylic cases so I may look into something that's fairly transparent, it seems a shame to build the board and the never see that gorgeous teal!

I might have displaced a few items, if I have, please let me know immediately so I can try to replace them. There are some parts I don't have extras of at the moment, but I am willing to order in more if it is important to you.
Please contact by mail: support@mekanisk.co so I can get back to you as fast as possible.
Thank you to those that ordered extras, since the GB is concluded, the left overs will go up on mekanisk.co. If you submitted a form for extras, you are eligible for a discount on the website, so you can get the items you want.
A sneak peek of the items left over:
All colors Universal60 plates in aluminium, steel and CF. (very limited per color, except steel)
Some HHKB and winkeyless plates in various configs.
GON Nerd60 LeandreN edition in Mint and White(mint is limited, white is very limited)
Stabilisers in 6.25u and 7u
To keep up with my future GBs I will be here on Geekhack, /u/LeandreN over on Reddit, LeandreN on Deskthority, @MekaniskCo on Instagram, support@mekanisk.co for mail and in various Slack channels as "LeandreN".

Just have one question. Does the stainless steel plate support switch opening? How can you tell from the plate, some extra cutouts or something else?
Do i understand correctly that if, for example, i solder gateron browns and decide that i hate them, i could open them up and replace innards with gateron red for example, or that is not possible?
P.S. This is my first dib into custom stuff, and i haven't even assembled it, but i want more... Hand wired Atreus parts are ready and a planck is calling...
Post by: TalkingTree on Sun, 05 February 2017, 03:12:54
Does the stainless steel plate support switch opening?Yes, to both questions.
Do i understand correctly that [...] i could open them up and replace innards?
How can you tell from the plate, some extra cutouts or something else?By the shape of the cutout.
Shape 1 doesn't allow switch-top removal, the three others do. LeandreN's plates are cut with shape 2.

Waiting for stabs so nothing is soldered yet.
I almost messed up by soldering switches first but I caught my mistake around 4 switches in
Also how do you know if your NKey is turned on

Nothing is soldered except SMD-leds. What is NKey?

Stabs came in today so here's the final result.

Silver aluminium case, silver carbon fibre plate, lubed Cherry mx clears in RGB housing with Sprit 85g springs, Zeal gold plated stabs, Pexon cable and of course Nerd60 Mekanisk/1up keyboards edition.

First ever build. More or less a success with a few hiccups on the way.
Dropped case with plate while fiddling: scratched case, bent plate at the sensitive enter\iso location.
Soldered \| switch not lined up, so keycap was crooked and interfered with enter keycap.
Clipped the stabilizers like a good boy, but some how backspace is still very mushy and sticky. Tried to lube the wire through the plate holes.... Should have checked\lubed them before soldering everything...
But anyway, it's done ant it works :cool:
Cheap clear case, gateron browns + whites for modifiers (courtesy for pinkies).
I don't think i would ever go back to full size or tkl board, even after so little time with this one. Fears about not having arrows and stuff were proved false. Though i can clearly see now, that i would prefer a layout that uses thumbs more and pinkies less, but that's for another day.
About leds. Never cared much for them, but now i am thinking since the pcb supports them, why not. I want leds to ligtup on layers. Problem is side leds are single color, so how to show two layers? Crazy idea about using switch leds for that. If i would solder them on the bottom. Effectively having two color underlight. Ideally i would want to use only some of them (for example only on the sides). Is this possible or leds wont work if i don't solder all of them?
P.S. Again, thanks LeandreN for this group buy.

gateron browns + whites for modifiers (courtesy for pinkies).I've seen heavier springs for spacebars and lighter for mods but heavier springs for mods is a first. May I ask you how come you chose this solution?

By whites i meant the feather light linear ones, with 35 springs.

I made a board for someone with one of your Universal60 plates, and I have to say it was one of the best build processes I've gone through in a couple of years. I've mainly built boards with steel or acrylic plates for a long while, and it was a really nice change to use one of your plates.
Just wanted to say that. Even if it sounds stupid. Hope to build more boards with your stuff!

This case specifically uses wood screws directly into it, and it's pretty hard to find smaller wood screws. As far as it being bad, not really since the keycaps never bottom out enough to hit the screws.

No left over steel as of now, but I am looking at putting an order in for some depending on when I get brass...

I like the look and feel of the carbon plate. The whole build is so much better than my old Steelkeys 6G (the old one; MX Black) and the MX-Board 3.0 with MX Brown that I am using at work.
But I cannot really judge the plate individually but only the build as a whole, which is awesome!

This is the place I can get well thought keyboard parts from LeandreN before the options are quickly sold out on Mekanisk website.

I overlapped the HHKB plate over a winkeyless one and put three switched through for a more precise alignment, then I marked the cutting area with a blackmarker, like so.

I drilled through the inside to make room for a hand file to finish the cutout.
Originally I wanted to do this with a steel plate, but it was so hard that I couldn't get through even with a power drill, and I don't own a drill press, so props to LeandreN

I then filed the cutout to make them square. It look like five minutes each.

I filed again the left cutout later on because it wasn't square but I don't have a picture for that.
I populated plate and PCB with switches and it looked great.

For this keyboard I used a plastic 60% case bought on Aliexpress.

I really like the contrast between black keycaps and red plate, and I'm very satisfied with the result. I'll try again with the steel plate in the future but surely I'll be getting more aluminum HHKB plates.
Lastly, some technical details and a summary:
Parts used
PCB: White GON's NerD 60% Mekanisk - 1UPkeyboards edition, with TMK firmware
Plate: R4 HHKB red aluminum plate.
Switches: Gateron KS-3 Black, bought on Aliexpress.
Keycaps: Mods are from WoB icon mods GB (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=80267.0), alphas are OG cherry lasered and infilled ABS, right shift is a gracious present from LeandreN himself.
Tools used
Dremel 3000 to cut the extra holes.
USBasp programmer (http://www.fischl.de/usbasp/) to replace NerD's bootloader and firmware.
This great guide (https://deskthority.net/wiki/Converting_NerD60_to_TMK) to achieve the previous goal.
That's it.
Thanks for reading.

It took me a long while to realize that HHKB plates are basically my favourite layout without the Control cutouts. So I decided to make those cuts myself.Thanks for sharing. Great read! If you ever need any custom plate, please let me know :)

The corner toward the "]" key seems to be very close to that key and when I press it down, it feels mushy and seems to twist a little counterclockwise. Just like 4 or 5 degrees... I feel like the stabilizers or switch are somehow out of whack...

If the switch is plate mounted, i.e. if it doesn't have the two small plastic pins on the bottom side, desolder and reseat it. It might be slightly rotated.
It's a PCB mounted Zealio switch. I will try desoldering and reseating tonight.
