I think i'm gonna be sick.
I forgot about this for a while, and just came back today to check on it...
And this is the first time i'm learning the GH60 has entered group buy status... and the deadline is already passed!!!
****.
If anyone wants to give up one spot for a full ansi kit w/ plate...
Or if you guys could possibly (and i realize this is unlikely) add another order, despite the passed deadline (that i've just learned about)...
That would be pretty great.
Meanwhile, i'll be sulking with the force of 1000 facepalms.
I'm sure there will be a lot of pokers coming on the market soon. They won't be as versatile as the Gh60, but they're still a damn nice keyboard
And that versatility was key (oh that's a pun isn't it). There is a (are some) reason(s) i waited for the GH60, instead of getting a poker or pure. A GH60 can be anything from a poker to the GH60-Max. And it's special! And, it would take the GH60 (or something very close) to justify dropping/replacing my g710+. I know the g710+ got plenty of hate and jeers, but the only thing i really dislike about it is the size. I love the muted browns, the white led's, the volume roller, and have found at least a few uses for the g-keys... i even like the way it looks (orange thingy notwithstanding, though also not an issue; i'm rather neutral on it). It's just too wide (i say that as it rests upon a razer goliath deskpad...), and i spent a lot of time looking/waiting for the perfect smaller solution. I like that the GH60 is something not everyone will have, is small and "easy" to mod/alter... and i get all "breezy" thinking about programmable function layers. Had the GH60 been available before the g710+, i'd have opted for that instead. But it wasn't, so i got the g710+ and waited... ever so patiently.
In the last month, i've spent 2 weeks blowing over a year worth of dust out of my case and radiator, having a water loop maintenance accident, killing my pair of gtx 275's, dropping a chunk of change on a used 590, reconfiguring my loop, and have been trying to "catch up" ever since. Before that, i was, as many often do, having life-complicating personal (and interpersonal) problems (still am), and hadn't even thought about keyboards since sometime in Jan/Feb.
When i came to check on the GH60 status, seeing it in testing/prototyping phase last i checked... my spirit was crushed upon finding that not only had the GB already started over a month ago, but the deadline had only just passed, this week.
I was like:
"...and now this..."
And here we are.
However, my hopes are not entirely crushed, just yet...
