I'd like to up my interest to 2 plates, pending on the final price!  (At least one for sure, thank you for having my name on the list!)

I've paid for this small batch already, so I only have a set amount. I don't have time to do a full GB for these. I've just sent out PMs to everyone that wanted one so far. Probably won't be accepting anymore "preorders" since I want to reserve some to sell later.


Is it the plates or the shipping that will be more expensive? I was under the impression that steel was cheaper since the Phantom plates were I think $20 a piece.

Both. Recently there were huge increases in shipping for domestic and about double for international, effective sometimes in January this year. The first round I did was last year.

Stainless steel is roughly 3x more expensive than aluminum. But the bulk of the price is from the laser cutting process, not the material. The reason why phantom plates were only ~$25, is because those were at the 140 price tier. There's no way I'm going to front that much money for this round2 TKL plates, so I only ordered a small batch. Also that $25 phantom plate did not include shipping yet.

Schucks.. I just saw this. If you're willing to add another 2 (or 1) to the list, please add me. If not, I'll try to get some of those you sell later. TIA.

WFD,
I dont know how I missed on this one!! If you are taking preorders, I would like to be added to the list. If not, please add me to your 'selling later' list. I am desperately in need of replacing few keys from my filco and this will help.

Didn't think of overloading your PM inbox, so posting here.

thanks.

Is there an approximate shipping date for these plates?

ETA: just noticed "early July" on the previous page :). Hopefully soon then!

Ideally I'd like it to be shipped with my GH60 order to save additional shipping costs to Germany :)

I'm still around, but been pretty busy with moving to my new place. I've already sent out PMs to the prior list of preorders. Plates will finish soon and I'll go pick them when I can free up some time. Not sure what other updates I need to give.

I sent you a PM but it may have been lost in the shuffle. Before I ordered I wanted to find out if selecting a different board is gonig to effect the plate I get. I thought the plate was universal so I was confused when I saw the option to select the keyboard it was for.

Just a quick update, I picked up the plates a few days ago, I'll package most tonight and have it shipped tomorrow. I'm not processing leftovers right now. That will have to come later when I have more time.

Here is the round 2 batch that I'm currently packaging to ship out for the preorders. The cut quality is even better than the Korean stainless steel plate from a different keyboard that I just got.

Just got mine in... I'm kind of heated right now.... How the hell do they do this to a stainless steel plate? It's not like WFD could've reinforced it with anything stronger LOL... I mean... ugh... is there anything I can do to straighten this thing out perfectly? Goddamn USPS... The packaging had "Do not bend," on it (Thanks WFD ;) ), and it's almost like they had trolls sitting in the post office that just damages packages for the heck of it...

I do not blame WFD in any way or form :) Awesome plates by awesome dood.

Any kind of solutions would be nice :) Other than that, the plate is pretty!

See package in mail get all happy and excited but then I pull it out and I can already tell...



I pray it's just the packaging... I open it and fu-



I think, "maybe it's not too bad..."



lol

Sometimes I actually think postal services try and **** up packages..

To straighten it you'll need to bend it the opposite way.. you can't just flatten it as it'll never be fully flat that way.

use that granite counter top to straighten it out.  just bend it until it looks good.  every plate i've bought has come like that unfortunately.

Yeah... I assumed just bending it would be the obvious way to do it  but now I'm scared that while I'm bending it, it's going to give way I'm going to create like this huge fold into it....... this is pretty retarded.

Thanks for the tips though....

I feel your pain :( I shall give it a try after lunch. Thanks for the empathy :)
