GH60 Group Buy (Salvage Mode: Enabled - Update in OP)

[gnubag]

holey smokes imsto is going crazy


will submit my order tomorrow since it didn't got through yesterday... (****ty internet on my side)

[Nunez]

The case thing is a huge bummer. 

I would love to order a GH60. But there's no abundant, cheap cases to be had. Something simple like Poker/Pure.

You just missed the custom acrylic case GB

I saw the ones by alixinhzai, I wasn't 100% into them. And $55 shipped, is more than I need. A mass-produced, cheap tray like Poker/Pure would be ideal.

*** I looked at them again, it's not so bad. But still...

Give it a bit and I'm sure more stock poker cases will come available as people migrate to Custom ones.

but i don't think that they will be much cheaper because of the huge demand

[BimboBB]

I made an "order change" yesterday, but seems it didnt made it into the new "order confirmation". Are you still going to update the "order confirmation" or is it updated as per time you posted it?

[WhiteFireDragon]

It should auto update when we change it. But if you just put in a request yesterday, then it probably won't be changed that quick. Total order change, not including the ones in PMs are at 142 right now.

Geez you guys are so indecisive.

Sorry WFD, make that 143. Filled the form again.

[agor]

Nice to see that I appearantly am order no. 16 

[osxoep]

Wow. The sheet seems to say that 395 PCBs (Normal and DIY) are ordered.

Make it 400 by this evening?

Edit: is there a MOQ on the plates?

[Moosecraft]

Are off center caps-lock available with all plates?

[foxer]

I've not got time to read the first post and I've never done a group buy but how do I get in on this? All I've literally done is look at the pictures and fell in love with the ANSI WKL.

it's all in the first post. you should read it for a number of reasons if you want to order.

If you don't have time to read the post, how do you expect us to write anything for you, for which you will likely not have time either? Go read it. 

[Glissant]

I usually advocate for new users to be helped, but that was just ridiculous, foxer. Get out if you don't even plan to read the first post.

Changed my order to help grow that number .


Now at 4PCBs and 2 universal plates. I might have to change my stabilizer order too, but I'll do that when I'm sure I can't get more while waiting.


I might just scrap my initial order and start over. I forgot to mention they should be ANSI plates, but I am guessing you guys remember what I use .

[jdcarpe]

Also, everyone order switches!

[Sai]

i guess the only way to get whites is either from 7bit or buy pure from MK. >.<

[foxer]

Lol, I didn't mean like a whole walkthrough. I meant just a run down of how to order and whatnot while I was in queue for SC2. :3 Sorry for acting a moron, m'bad.

So after reading, I don't think I should order since I have no clue how to use a solder. I could ask my old man as he's an electrician but not sure if he'd do all what needed to be done for me. Once again, sorry for acting a prat. I'll just wait until one comes up for sale, if one comes up for sale fully made.

[mkaito]

You can have it shipped with switches assembled, but you still have to find case, cable, and key caps on your own.

[asura]

There will be options for assembly service if you cannot build it yourself.

Im sure there are other ways to do it, i would advise having a word with pexon as he can build them.

GH60 Ordering for The Absolute Beginner

What to order:

1. GH60 PCB (SMD Presoldered)
2. Universal ANSI plate
3. 1 x Cherry PCB-mount stabilizers (6.25 spacebar wire)
4. 65 x MX Browns  (or Reds, Blues, Blacks, Greens, Greys)
5. Assembly service

>ORDER FORM<

[foxer]

You can have it shipped with switches assembled, but you still have to find case, cable, and key caps on your own.

Without sounding like a complete noob, how hard is it to fit a case? I'd order a Mimic cable and keycaps won't be a worry, at all.

[Index]

Here are your orders. I think from now on, if you need to change an order, just submit a new order, fill now the order change sheet to delete old order. That's faster than us manually changing stuff. But in the new order, put in the comments section "new updated order". Use Ctrl + F and search for yourself since there are a lot of entries.

red  = GH PCB
green = plates

Order confirmation

Awesome, thanks WFD!

[Moosecraft]

Are off center caps-lock available with all plates?

Anyone have an answer to this?

Not just "anyone" can answer your question. Only WFD knows for sure. I would guess that the answer is yes, but it's only a guess.

[WhiteFireDragon]

If you look at original plate pics I posted, all plates supports both centered and off-centered capslock.

I'll update pics and OP before the ordering deadline. I'm still backlogged with a bunch of things to do on this forum :/

[Moosecraft]

So I specify that in the additional notes section? because I will buy assembly service.

[jdcarpe]

Yes, specify whether you want center or off-center Caps Lock in the notes.

oops, forgot the spacebar wires, resubmitted my order. Also, holy crap @ imsto's order, lol.

[pix3l_fodder]

Those space bar wires, can anyone explain if they're required for cherry stabs on an ISO 1.25x?

You would need a 6.25 spacebar wire

Also, everyone order switches!

...Through this GB? Or, via 7-Bit directly? ...Or, just in general? =)

[limmy]

I put in an order today. Thank you for organizing this GB.

I have a question on the spacebar wire used for Cherry PCB mount stabilizer. I have a x7 space bar wire from an old Cherry keyboard, but it has additional groves in the middle of the wire. Can that wire be used with the universal ANSI plate?

Also, is it possible to order just the spacebar wire?

Thank you!

[WhiteFireDragon]

The grooves that you're referring to won't work with a plate no matter which way your orient it. That kink will either hit the plate or the PCB and make the stabilizer get stuck. You need a perfectly straight wire.

I'm just going to organize them in "sets." It's too hard to micro manage every small request when it comes time to invoice and packaging/shipping.

[esoomenona]

I made one work by bending it. I bent the legs down, such that the groove in the middle wasn't 90 degrees to the legs, but more of a 135 degree angle (more obtuse).

Thank you for your answer.

There are some plate designs that are compatible with the kinked wire, so it is not entirely impossible. However, incorporating the design may be too much work at this late stage or very hard given the compatibility of the plate. Anyways, I am glad to know.

I will add stabilizer set to my order. Thank you.

[gnubag]

damn... after seeing the poker 2 comign out for around $80 I think I need to change my order again.... (changed 2 min before I saw that thread...)

[eon]

So the HHKB plate with splitted backspace and ANSI 1.5 bottom row doesn't exists any more, or is it still possibble to have one ?

you could do that with the universal ansi plate

I don't like PCB mounted stabs :/

What switches are available?, all of them or what?

[elton5354]

What switches are available?, all of them or what?

Looking really good, unless you want MX Clear or MX White. Still need to order from 7bit for those.

We should be able to provide MX Red, Blue, Brown, Black, Green, Grey for $0.60/ea.

Are the gray switches light or dark grey?

Yes, gray switches are a lighter gray, but their names are mx gray and mx dark gray. Dark gray will also not be offered

[Moosecraft]

Light grey ones have the same stem as clears right?

[cyberwave]

Light grey ones have the same stem as clears right?

yep that is right

Will ordering switches delay the shipment,or will they be ready when the shipment of the keyboards will start?Also,are the switches pcb or plate mounted?

if using plate, both pcb and plate mounted switches can be used.
if not using a plate, only use pcb mounted switches

[GeorgeK]

Unless you're getting a universal plate in which case it is suggested that you use PCB mounted switches for the ones that go in the bigger holes
