I am sitting on a pile of JD40 PCBs. I didn't want to sell the PCBs directly to the market, so I was considering running kits through our store for a whole DIY kit or assembled kit.

The aluminum case will be low profile, and it would be similar the JD45 case.
The plate will be stainless steel, and it will be finished with the hairline style.
Kits can be offered with Cherry or Gateron switches.

The price for a DIY kit will run from $135-150 and assembled will be $170+.

I'll also be working on a PBT Cherry Profile set exclusive for the JD40 Kits. The cost will run around $40-50.

I'd be interested in a DIY kit, would be nice to get a spare case and plate for the pcb I already have, but not the end of the world since it was pretty cheap.

I'm definitely interested in an assembled JD40, but would want to see the case first before making a decision. Also interested in the keyset too!

Might be down for one. Love that the JD40 is spreading around. Also dig that the diodes are soldiered on the v2 board.

robotmaxtron · « **Reply #31 on:** Mon, 18 July 2016, 10:27:46 »

If we can get the price point down to $135 I'd be VERY interested. Please consider selling just the cases as well since many of us might have already ordered a JD40 pcb. I'm not ready to spend $200+ on a board that I'm not convinced that the viability is there.

tacnificent · « **Reply #32 on:** Fri, 22 July 2016, 17:28:00 »

Interested in a kit depending on case options/colors

*edit* also in for chocolatier 40% so i'm commited to getting one at this point but whether or not it's from 1uk or you guys will depend on which case options mesh with the brown kcs

We are hoping to keep it that low, but it will be $50 extra for the keycaps!

As long as they are just an optional add-on I doubt people would mind.

Parzival · « **Reply #36 on:** Sat, 23 July 2016, 20:01:34 »

I for one would like to have the keycaps included.

As would I but since there are a lot of people who don't need or don't want the keycaps it would be easier to make them an optional add-on instead of making it higher for everyone. That would mean less sales because the people who have sets to use don't want to pay extra money when they could have it for cheaper.

Oatburner · « **Reply #38 on:** Mon, 25 July 2016, 20:39:22 »

Interested. I wasn't a big fan of the case design of the original JD40 kits, but I think a proper aluminum case could look great.

Oh I am not saying they should be a forced include, just expressing my like of having caps with my board, I completely understand having a set already and just wanting to use that instead

Does low profile means no blocked corner version?

Edit: mistook it for JD45's that had that version.

Yes sir, looks like this case will create the floating keys effect. Yes, I'd love to see a Kelly green case & hopefully a yellow. Honestly just want something as opposed the same old silver & black case options. Come to think of it, a navy case would be nice & it's rare that navy cases are offered.

If you're taking suggestions into consideration I'd love purple/violet and pink at least, even red or lime green would be cool. Black/white/silver are classics of course and I like white cases personally but I'm more of a unique colour kinda guy.

I'd love to! I'm sure I'll like it though even without trying it, but it'd be very cool. Living in Europe and in a small country at that makes it so I have to miss out on all the cool events and meets that you guys get together in the US.

Glad to hear it'll be offered fully assembled! I'm too lazy and incompetent to solder stuff myself haha.

LOL, too funny, Virgrith,
Artisans have gotten me too. My first was a yellow Mechashark, followed by 3 hot key projects (2 beserkers (yellow, navy) & 1 navy raven), 1 holy oops (red berserker), & 2 incoming WOB twisted crusaders (black & red). August was a busy month indeed. I'll be ready for the GB. Sherry, what are going to be the options, such as case colors, switches (such as cherry, gaterons), and will LEDs be an option? Oh yeah, one more thing, along with the split space bar option, will a single 6.25 space bar option be available too?

Heya!

Yeah, we'll be bringing 1~2 to the meet up to show off the keyboard. Group buy will commence shortly after.

y u do dis, wallet still recovering from the Keyboard & Co + all the artisans that have been popping up as of late haha.

Looking forward to it!

LOL, too funny, Virgrith,
Artisans have gotten me too. My first was a yellow Mechashark, followed by 3 hot key projects (2 beserkers (yellow, navy) & 1 navy raven), 1 holy oops (red berserker), & 2 incoming WOB twisted crusaders (black & red). August was a busy month indeed. I'll be ready for the GB. Sherry, what are going to be the options, such as case colors, switches (such as cherry, gaterons), and will LEDs be an option? Oh yeah, one more thing, along with the split space bar option, will a single 6.25 space bar option be available too?

We'll announce the options next Monday, but you can talk to us about at the LA meet up!

I'll let you know that LED will not be an option we are working on though.

Haha yea, I bought a bunch of artisans through Massdrop (multiple Gems, multiple Jelly Keys, etc), a few Hot Key Project ones (can't wait for the black Raven for both my topre and MX especially) and a bunch of others. Going to be ordering plenty of HolyOOPS aluminium caps too soon enough (dat Totoro tho), rip wallet forever.

Oh yeah, I forgot about my MD JellyKeys set which I'm patiently waiting for. I decided to chill on the MD gems b/c I got another chance at the keyclack AMJ40 gb that I forgot about. I figure w/ that November ship date I'll get another shot at them, so I wasn't bothered for skipping it. I hope to get that Black Beserker soon after talking to Martin Yeah. As of now I'm getting a list of previous HKP artisans to see if Martin may have any left overs that I can buy. I'm really looking forward to using some artisan on the Originative JD40 board. I'm looking forward to the Sherry's options.

I do not have the samples in hand yet. I'll show more when I do get some pictures.

Some options for colors:

Grey
Silver
Rose Pink
Red
and Black

Let me know what you guys think!

That case looks sick! I've been looking for a nice JD40 case for awhile and I'd definitely buy this!! Looking forward to getting more details about the buy.

I love that case too, if Sherry is still sticking w/ those colors, it's between rose pink & red. I just need to see what the colors look like in order to decide.

Vigrith · « **Reply #83 on:** Mon, 12 September 2016, 21:31:09 »

I'm sure grey, black and rose pink will all look awesome! I'm secretly hoping for purple (my favourite colour), rose gold/champagne or just white but I'm happy enough with the options Sherry suggested.

PS: Let me know if there's any super cool caps in that list Martin is going to be sending you, I asked him about a Macaroon (baby blue/pink) raven for my CtrlAlt Miami board but was told it is no longer available.

At least my regular black ravens and berserker will arrive tomorrow I'm hoping, or the day after, so that's cool.

Understood, I've got you. I'm primarily interested in the black/purple & translucent purple Ravens. I've already got a purple minivan, will have a turquoise arrow layout van soon. I try to have different keyboard cases b/c I love colors!

Yea the black/purple raven is awesome and the translucents are cool too; mechsupply will be getting a pretty large batch of neon yellow & coral translucent berserkers fairly soon from Martin as well so I'll be getting in on that, probably for 2 of each. Need to order some more topre artisans too because I'm getting a HHKB soon enough (probably around new years), so far the only one I'll have is one of the Ravens I'm getting.

Jealous of the purple minivan, that must look awesome! I got in on the turquoise arrow layout too on MD, will be having a friend assemble it for me right after the kit arrives (bless her cotton socks for having the patience because I'm inept) - very much looking forward to that.

Need to start thinking of a cool set to use with this JD40 board as well for once it arrives! I probably have some that fit already but you know.

I'm on the east coast (NC)....The LED situation is okay w/ me, I can take care of that. One more question, will your new mod switches be offered w/ your "assembled Sherry40s?"

I would be totally down for this. Is this the v1 or v2 version of the PCB and plate? From what I understand the v2 allows for more customizations to the bottom row?

It's the JD40 V2 PCB.

I don't know if I missed it in the thread, but will the cap sets be a stand alone option for those of us that already have a jd40? I would love a cherry profile set that actually matches the layout.

Based off what I know, I believe Sherryton's JD40 kit will be sold with the option of assembled or diy. I know I'm looking forward to it!
Edit-here, Sherryton mentioned it at the start of this interest check: "The price for a DIY kit will run from $135-150 and assembled will be $170+."

Awesome! Thanks a bunch. That was really my only issue with them. I definitely understand the benefits that come from template web dev kits like wordpress and wix, but without plugins/extra dev work they just become so darn difficult the second you try to make something a little out of the box...

Yeah, I'll add that information. We're going to do a new re-launch. This is where the MOD-SH will be sold and limited to only 100 units!

We're also going to drop the price of the JD40 to welcome new buyers. The current buy isn't 'Live' yet.
