FAQ
What is included?
Gallant Case for the Planck
6 x M2x8mm Socket Head Screws
What is NOT included?
Planck PCB
Planck Plate
Switches
Key Caps
USB C Cable
What revision of the Planck is compatible?
Revision 6
Do any other PCBs like the Planck fit?
I haven’t tried any. You will have to be the judge of that. Look at the spacing of the keys (in this case it’s 19.00mm). Are the mounting points, USB C connector and reset switch in the same spots? If so, then perhaps. Currently, this case does not officially support any other PCBs. Eventually I will release my own version.
If anyone does use a PCB other than the Planck and it fits, please let me know so I can make a list.
Is this a Group Buy? How long will I have to wait?
This is not a Group Buy, rather a pre-order since their production is not outsourced to another company. We want a specific count due to the fairly long machining time. The wait will be 4-6 weeks from the end of the pre-order period. This time frame is much shorter than ordering from a Group Buy.
Can I get a specific serial number?
Sorry, no.
Will these be available at a later time?
This depends on how well this first batch sells. At some point, I’d like to always have stock on hand, however, if you want this case; I wouldn’t wait for the future. I, also, have other keyboard projects I’d like to release.
