Imsto only bought 35?

[guilleguillaume]

Order sent! I decided to get 4 PCB

[elton5354]

Misc
Some orders requested for costar 7x wires. I'm not sure this will be available, as WASDkeyboards is not able to provide them. Costar stabilizers are $7 per set.

If costar 7x wires aren't available, then can you change mine to PCB-mounted stabilizers with 7x wires?

Is it simple to make your own?

you would need the right wire and a wire bender.
also you would need measurements on where to bend it.

[mauri]

So I'm sorta confused, does one order the switches via the order form, or separately via deskthority?

Please use the order form for this group buy.

[Dubsgalore]

still have to place my order....deciding on a second one....thanks JD, Komar and WFD for this! great job organizing it

[chel-]

Does anyone have any more details on assembly services? I have no interest in actually doing any work if I were to join this XD

[stoic-lemon]

A month and a half of procrastinating and my order is in. I guess I'm one of the few going for the Samwisekoi plate. Would've ordered more, but the new strong Yen is killing me.

[TheQsanity]

What spacebar stabilizer is for the HHKB, standard and Pure?1

[gnubag]

What spacebar stabilizer is for the HHKB, standard and Pure?1

HHKB spacebars are 7u (not quite sure)
standard (i assume you mean ansi 1.25) and pure are 6.25u

[TheQsanity]

Would you still need a 7 stabilizer if you are going to do the split spacebar? or would you need two 3.5 or something?

[elton5354]

Seeing even backspace needs stabilizer..So anything bigger than 2x needs one..


Would lister make 7x wires for us?

[gnubag]

there is no split spacebar? or did i miss something?

[heedpantsnow]

Hi, I'm sorry to be dense.  One question I had was clarification on where to order switches.  Thank you Mauri and Mkaito for clarifying to order here, not 7-bit.

Do I need to get 12 of the switches PCB-mount and the others plate-mount if I'm using the universal plate?

Did we ever decide about WASD LED's?  What is the LED color?  Is there a choice?

Could someone please check my order?  I want 2x Poker clones with the option to switch to HHKB layout later.  Just switches for 1 now.  I can solder myself.  (maybe this will also help others who are a little unsure of their order)

[fydo]

For clears, you can get mx greys, they have the exact same stem. I don't imagine very many will use the stock clear springs.

I didn't realise that you could use MX Greys for an ergo clear mod. Excellent! I've updated my order.
Thanks again for this excellent group buy. Really looking forward to putting my GH60 together.

[korne]

Placed my order

[electrogeek007]

Placed my order, now the wait begins... 

[Glod]

just made a last minute order change

if organizers could PM me to confirm my order makes sense that would be great or i guess i can just wait till the final order confirmation thingy comes up.

[Batmann]

ordered,
and awesome OP btw, being able to see all the layouts with the renders is really helpfull, great job 

[GeorgeK]

Once orders are closed and payments taken, what's the rough estimate as to production time for the PCBs and plates?

[mauri]

Lastly, which switches are available for this gb?

[Sai]

Lastly, which switches are available for this gb?

blue, green, tactile grey(corret me if i am wrong), red, black, brown except for clear and white mx.

Aight, thanks I think I'll order aswell

According to "Phantom Group Buy" in DT wiki, there was STAB700(Costar 7 units stabiliser). http://deskthority.net/wiki/Phantom_Group_Buy
Does anyone know how did the Phantom organizers provide Costar 7 units stabilizer?

Someone made each of those by hand.
It might have been litster, but I'm not sure.

So umm yea gb for the pre soldered pcbs went through already?

No?

[Dubsgalore]

still deciding on switches for my second GH60...

what i decide on won't be able to be changed until september... so much pressure

[HannibalChew]

Can someone remove my first order from the spreadsheet? I have 2 orders

How did you order your switches? The OP says to go over to deskthority and order there, but I see people ordering them through this thread's gh60 official order form. I'm wondering which way will get you your switches faster?

[korne]

Updated my order with


-2x PCB (SMD presoldered) - $30
-2x bare PCB
- 1 universal ISO
- 1 universal ANSI
- 1x Cherry (PCB-mounted) stabilizers
- 1x Cherry (Plate-mounted) stabilizers

[tadbitnerdy]

I submitted a brand-new order because I freaked out and I wasn't sure if I had my order correct for a poker layout board.  Please delete all previous orders and order changes and go with the latest one (submitted Sunday April 21st).  I added a note in the comments section on the order form to delete all previous orders and order changes.

Thanks again!

well you can order on the GH60 order form in the OP, or you can go to Deskthority and get the switches via that GB. I am getting half of my switches from somewhere else separate from this GB, and the second half on my GH order form. Not sure at the moment which one goes faster, but i will come back and update you.

Also, today is the final day to submit an order, so figure out what you want!

[mauri]

Edited my order, had bit of a mishap

[salmo]

I put in a new order to replace my existing one (noted it in the comments).  The new one landed, but it appears the original hasn't been removed.

Not trying to be impatient, I know there is a lot of churn going on right now as the deadline nears.  Just wanted to make sure I noted it.  As much as I would love more GH60's, I'm pretty sure that would not be "good for my marriage."

Thanks!

[snoozeymon]

Order placed!

Unfortunately i do not know if my order-information was transferred correctly, since i did not get any confirmation via email or pm??? (except emails from deskthority)

e: nvm just found my order in the spreadsheet

Is there anyone who could please help with my questions and review my order?  Do I need to order a mix of plate- and pcb-mount switches??

Done.

You can order switches from this GB. We can supply MX Red, Blue, Brown, Black, Green, or Grey (tactile). Ordering them from this GB should be as fast as any method.

Order looks correct to me. The mix of PCB mount and plate mount switches will work great for your assembly. There will be holes with solder pads for LEDs on every switch, but no traces to them. I'm still not 100% sure if the WASD-Esc will have traces for LEDs, but I believe that is the plan.

[thoere]

I ordered my switches from the GB on Deskthority and had them shipped to the gh60 distributor. How do you associate my order with those switches?

[raphdu57]

First of all I really wanted to thank anyone involved in the realization of this project, you've done an amazing work so far !

Would it also be possible to remove my old order ? I submitted a new one a few days ago !

Also @heedpantsnow You may need 2x 7x spacebar  wires if you want a true HHKB layout.

[mkaito]

There will be holes with solder pads for LEDs on every switch, but no traces to them. I'm still not 100% sure if the WASD-Esc will have traces for LEDs, but I believe that is the plan.

Can you actually make your own traces, in case you want LEDs at some point?

[mauri]

I'd assume by your email or note in invoice or sth, but I'd want a confirmation on that aswell.

[chel-]

Can someone please clarify - If I'm going for ANSI 1.5x - full 1.5x mod, WKL, or HHKB do I a need 7x or 6.25x spacebar wire?

[jdcarpe]

Can someone please clarify - If I'm going for ANSI 1.5x - full 1.5x mod, WKL, or HHKB do I a need 7x or 6.25x spacebar wire?

You need a 7x wire, which is why I ignored your last order change request.


UPDATE:

THE SWITCH SUPPLIER JUST INFORMED ME THAT THE ONLY GREY SWITCHES HE HAS ARE ACTUALLY LINEAR (DARK GREY).

THESE WILL NOT WORK FOR "ERGO-CLEAR" MOD.

SORRY FOR ANY CONFUSION, AS I WAS JUST INFORMED OF THIS JUST NOW. IF YOU NEED TO CANCEL SWITCHES, PLEASE SUBMIT AN ORDER CHANGE REQUEST.

You can still order MX Clear or MX Grey (tactile) from 7bit on Deskthority, or we will place the order with 7bit if you order them through this GB.

[r3dx]

Finally submitted my order! 

Thanks to everyone who put this together! 

[danielucf]

I was trying to read through everything to see what I need to change in my order, but is the Universal 10x the only one that will support a 10x spacebar or do all ansi 150 layouts support it also?
