Updated the form last night, I'd probably be down for 2.

Is plateless an option? Looks like the PCB can take it, unless I'm missing something.

Plateless will be an option when it comes to final orders :)

And the form is actually tied to each persons email so no worries about people submitting multiple times. When it comes to GB time I'll have a new form with all the details required.
It's a good width!  If it's half-width it's too narrow, and full-width is too wide.

No worries man, trying to get as much planned in the early stages as possible to avoid hassles later. I'm hoping to get this turned around pretty quickly once all the parts have arrived, discovered that I can actually pay for all the shipping online with Australia Post and then have all the packages picked up for a small fee. Will add maybe 50 cents to each order but will mean everyone's parcels will ship at the same time instead of me having to do multiple trips to the post office.

Going to place an order for plates today if I can get the time, should hopefully have some photos in the next week or so.

Nice! glad I stopped by the IC forum. I read something about mx + alps specs... that would be terrific if that's the case. If it is I'm down for two; if not I'll just grab one. Thanks bueller!

GHpad is MX only unfortunately!

Prototype cases are finished production, should be shipping today but hopefully they'll send me some pics prior to shipping.

Haven't had a chance to order any plates yet, work has been crazy and I won't get a chance to pick anything up till next week at this point.

Well that's disappointing - I have the 3D prints on my desk right now and while the PCB fits perfectly they somehow managed to print it without any of the standoffs in my drawing. Waiting on a message back from them now.

Otherwise the case looks good, will try and get some pics up when I get home.

nice pics! makes me think twice about a plate. I'll get one anyway but now I'm thinking a clear acrylic plate would be fantastic for this pad.

Bit pissed off with the prototypes, apparently I messed up the drawing and the standoffs weren't attached to the base (like fractions of a mm off) so they didn't print. Frustrating considering the online render showed them perfectly. And they've basically told me it's my problem so I'm going to have to fork out cash for some more tests. Will keep everyone updated but it will probably be a couple of weeks before I can order more.

That sucks, and from a customer service point of view, they suck - they should be able to detect it wasn't one contiguous shape before printing, or have someone check it was made correctly before shipping.

You might want to consider Shapeways, if you can get someone in the US to proxy for you. I've had good results from them.

Sometimes they're just as bad.  I did a Topre stem that I thought was perfect and it printed in two parts without them alerting me that there was a gap.

I'm down for a case/pcb/plate if someone could point me to a additional build bill of materials that would be cool too. (Switchces/Stabilizers) and diodes etc if the PCB isn't pre-soldered as it seems it will be though.

Still hoping to move forward with this but timing hasn't been great lately, think I'm going to do this when I book some time off work. Probably closer to football season because I always take time off week 1.

If it's any help I have access to a [http://formlabs.com/products/form-1-plus/]. If you made your part in any of the standard CAD software, I can probably open it up, check it out, and send it over to the printer. I just wouldn't have any board to place in it to check dimensions. I guess I could caliper it though.

I'm down for a case, plate and pcb if this wakes up again. I'm looking for a programmable 1u matrix. Was thinking of just getting a numpad, but I don't like most of what's out there. Plus, I like the idea of building one of these from scratch.

Just a question, how many people actually end up using their numpads?

I think it is a neat idea to have an extra numpad to use with 60% or TKL keyboards, but do people really end up using it?

Personally, I use mine all the time at work but almost never at home.

I use the **** out of numpad, but I prefer to have one separate from the rest of the keyboard.  If I need to enter more than 2 numbers it's a numpad operation.  10-key is so fast!

Interested in this. I use mine all the time. The only TKL I have is a Realforce 87U, and I have a Leopold numpad I keep the side. Can't live my life without one, and would love to try the GHPad.
