No PCB+plate combos? And just for clarification, the PC is clear and in no way frosted? I'll probably grab one either way but wanted to double check.

Current IC for pcb offers limited quantity of about 30-35 units. About half of the ic form responses were from alice owners. Also, the demand for alice plates existed from puddsys IC. I could offer to ship the pcbs together with the plates if that works better for you.

Yes, the polycarbonate will be clear.

Currently at 17/30. Honestly wouldn't worry about it. If we get to 25ish, I'll be happy to pick up the rest to hit MOQ.

Awesome! 17/30 is pretty good. So the orders close as soon as MOQ is hit and we go into production right away?!

Given that there are about 50 alices out in the wild, I wouldn't mind moving into production if we are already at MOQ and orders stop coming in.

Trying to make a decision on either CF and PC. Can someone let me know the pros and cons of each?

Carbon Fiber = hard.

Polycarbonate = not as hard.

onefivenine · « **Reply #22 on:** Sat, 02 February 2019, 21:52:59 »

Just a quick update: I appreciate the tremendous support from the community, and I will guarantee that PC MOQ will be met. Also, I updated the order numbers in the original post. I have a CF sample coming shortly because I wanted to make sure the plates didn't require "de-burring"

I'm very glad to hear this! I'll desolder my Alice pcb this next week to change the switches and I'm much more relieved to do that knowing that I'll get a new pcb, you know, just in case...

R1 PCB will have limited production so I cannot guarantee that everyone will get a PCB. However, after a successful R1 I want to start looking into shops that can get them produced in large quantities. If anyone knows a good source, feel free to shoot me a PM or hit me up on discord: onefiftynine#0001

First off, you are a boss. Second, do you think the carbon fiber plate will arrive before the GB ends? I purchased a PC, but also may pick up a CF and photos may put me over the edge.

They're still in transit

but they should be here hopefully soon. If you're on the fence on whether or not to order the CF, I will have a few extras in case anyone missed out or really needs to see a picture before committing to CF. Shoot me PM.

Yes, but I can add a couple more spots if you'd like. Shoot me a message on discord: onefiftynine#0001

onefivenine · « **Reply #33 on:** Fri, 15 February 2019, 16:16:12 »

Few updates:
- I added stepped & regular caps-lock support. If you are strongly against this idea, let me know. It shouldn't affect the aesthetics like split backspace support.
- We only got a few hours left, but I'm going to reach out to my shop to get these in queue for production before the weekend.
- Sample of the CF plate came in. Please, see second post.

Thank you guys!

Also interested in a poly plate.
