Quote from: chalks on Fri, 11 December 2015, 16:11:01Does the plate allow the switch tops to be opened without desoldering them?I decided to go with the fully assembled Gateron Brown option as $15 is cheaper than buying a soldering iron and learning how to solder.If at some point in the future I decide to get some purple Zealios can just I pop the switch open and swap the slider and spring in? Would that feel the same as proper Zealios?Based on the massdrop plate photos they should however, it won't work if you have LED's installed unless you use sip sockets for the LED's.

Zealios have modified contact leaves compared to normal Gaterons, so they wouldn't be compatible, at least not the purple Zealios, as the original leaf was incompatible with Cherry MX Clear sliders. I vaguely recall a member on here swapping out all the contacts on their Gateron switches for Cherry contacts just so they could use MX clear stems. This was before Zealios landed.You can always get linear Zealios if they are still available, as those do have modified leaves that are compatible with clear stems/purple zealio stems.

Seeing that you've already had 750+ purchases, it's safe to say this board is in high demand. What are your thoughts about running a second round GB?
Anyone in the US who is already planning to place an order willing to proxy for me to Canada? I am trying to avoid the 60$ in duty that I will get dinged with if I order directly from Massdrop...
thanks everybody! I'm so glad you liked the whitefox and I'm overwhelmed by the success. I told MD that I would be happy with 200 pieces sold, but we are beyond any expectation.Quote from: thaddeus on Fri, 11 December 2015, 18:45:47Seeing that you've already had 750+ purchases, it's safe to say this board is in high demand.

Is there no way to get everything but switches?
Quote from: xondat on Sat, 12 December 2015, 11:20:52Is there no way to get everything but switches?You can get the switches at other places pal, this is about the PCB the plates and the case, come on.

Unfortunately, those options are only available in the full DIY kit, which includes switches.

Yeah; really want everything and use my own switches because Zealios sold out but oh well. Don't really want to spend the extra on some switches I won't use.

Doesn't add to the base price but I just wish there was a switchless option; oh well, most likely will be sold out by the time I get paid.
Quote from: xondat on Sat, 12 December 2015, 17:11:03Doesn't add to the base price but I just wish there was a switchless option; oh well, most likely will be sold out by the time I get paid.They only bill you when the drop ends, so you can order now, if you want. Plus, they added a second batch of 1,000 (2k total) which will ship a couple/few months later than the first batch, so you are probably okay to wait.
Maybe I missed it somewhere, but is this going to be open-sourced at some point? For things like modifying for ALPS, and a split space bar...?

Although I usually get billed instantly using PayPal?
Hi Matt3o, can you post a picture of the WhiteFox with the LEDs on?
Quote from: zinger on Sun, 13 December 2015, 04:13:57Hi Matt3o, can you post a picture of the WhiteFox with the LEDs on?I'm waiting for some more PCBs to make a full tutorial (and add LEDs)
What exactly does "assembled" and not assembled entail. Am I going to have to do soldiering with not assembled?
How does this compare to the Inifinity keyboard? is this programmeable at all?
Quote from: NorrisB on Sun, 13 December 2015, 12:44:58How does this compare to the Inifinity keyboard? is this programmeable at all?yes it is fully programmable.
What layout option is the most popular?

The programming options are similar to the infinity or more like the pok3r?
Does anyone know if the Gaterons in this drop the KS-1 plate mounted version or the KS-3 PCB mounted version?
