If I could find a good case, this would quell my urge to get a tkl korean board, I think.That urge doesn't die after it starts ;)
If I could find a good case, this would quell my urge to get a tkl korean board, I think.
But this is equally exclusive. And I can read the instructions and I don't have to know a korean to get one ordered or get stupid lucky like I did with my mxmini and 356mini...
Just need a good case for these. Wonder if treble would do it once he's running at capacity again.
I have one, but interested in another PCB. Can it be slightly modified to accept SMD diodes and controller? Without a daughterboard controller, it's easier to design future cases to fit.
And also, this PCB fits all layouts listed in the google doc so why do we need to choose which layout option?

Question, are these PCB's going to be exactly the same as the ones from the original Phantom GB?

Hey, would anyone be kind enough to tell me how much the whole endeavor would cost? (or in what balllpark it runs in) before i put my finger in the gear :S
from what i understand
pcb 35
plate 15-35 (based off GB from boost and whitefire
Case =??? (i saw some made in aluminum that were like 300+ but thats a bit out of my budget range)
keys = 40-50? @ around .4 per key or something like that
and then you would need keycaps ofc...am i missing anything else?
I'm in.
Yay! Does that mean you're in for making some kind of little detachable cable stubs for these? ;)

boost != the_beastlol yea i messed that one up the other day my self but even worse had MMB mixed in as well.

I didn't do a plate GB sir. l
You also need to ad $16 for the teensy 2.0. You'll need a filco case. not sure if the PLU cases will work
can we get a matte royal purple pcb color? :D
I'd be in for this. I remember watching the KMAC and phantom DIY videos on putting it all together but if someone offered a service to have everything go to them and be assembled I wouldn't say no.lol been working on that and already have received some pms from people on this topic

Btw I got a few PMs for questions of total costs and help with assembly. I'll just post it here too so know you what parts to source and cost expectations:That's roughly $150 before shipping and other fees. Of course the number of switches and diodes will vary depending on the layout you choose, but not by much. The only layout that adds significant amount of switches is the 7bit layout, which is a little over 100 switches.
- 1 PCB $35
- 1 case $??
- 1 plate $18
- 1 teensy controller $20
- 87 diodes $2
- 87 switches ~$60
- 10 stabilizers (plate mounted cherry or costar) ~$10
- 1 USB cable $??
- keycaps $??
edit: I just realized tjcaustin also posted a list of things needed. It's correct for the most part but $300 is grossly overestimated unless that includes buying a brand new $150 filco just for the case.
You can PM me questions but just post it in the main thread so everyone else can benefit from question/answer too. I urge people to assemble or mod their own keyboards, that's why I made THIS (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQ_2GxeR4Es) video. I also have a video of a phantom assembly process from start to finish but been too lazy to edit and upload the video. I'll upload that specific video when we get closer to the GB.

there was a good diy thread origiannly for the phantom that was more than good enough to figure out how to build it idk if its still available on gh might want to try DT.You can PM me questions but just post it in the main thread so everyone else can benefit from question/answer too.

Broken link, my friend :Dsorry i think since its an interest check it has to be authoized first or what ever sorry will repost when its working.
And it fits into a regular Filco TKL casing?
I see.....get a plu then and use the case and switches?
Then I would need a new case........ :( :(

i want stainless case too but that may have to wait for phantom v2 as it seems everyone waht to push this buy along.I see.....get a plu then and use the case and switches?

Imma lusting for something custom made ;D ;D
DIY in SS, I only lack the schematics ;) ;)

please make also a PHISO125 plate.
It will fit in the MKC alu cases?
That's the spirit, DIY is the way to go =)
In for 1 PCB at least
few questions though:
- to WFD: your plate will fit the PCB rigth?
- not sure about that but will the pcb fit in the vortex tkl alu case?
Treble cases look superior to everything I've seen so far, It would be great to work something out with him (like a killer alu case signed with a phantom logo a la LZ cases)
Does it fit into a QFR case?no as the standoffs are in different places.

Will plates also be available? Just wondering how hard is it to acquire one.someone will probably run a separate GB and i may offer them with my assembly service.
also interested..WOW O.O and order for 10 your going to share with your Korean friends?
if group buy started,,i would order 10..
Awesome, thanks, bavman!+1 on this. Let's do a not as common color, every board has blue and red.
I vote for white or blue LED.

UV leds are purple and dim and do not look at them directly as they make your eyes feel funny (and cause a little damage).
Any ETA on the group buy? I have a super limited budget, but am really interested in this, so I want to know how little I should be eating until it comes out.
2) I will include 100 diodes with every plate included in the price just because its super cheap (<$1 for 100) if we buy a large quantity.

1 PCB (includes 2 white LEDs and2 resistors) - $35
1 Plate - $25
1 Teensy (includes 1 40-pin pin header) - $16
100 switches - $65ish (I think that's what I paid to get them from 7bit)
100 diodes - $4
4 2x stabilizers for ANSI or 3 2x stabilizers for ISO or 0 for PH7BIT - (??)
1 7x or 1 6.25x stabilizer set for spacebar or 0 for PH7BIT - (??)
1 case - Depends on what you go with or can find. There are acrylic cases that would work starting at $40ish, or you could try and find another filco case.
I would think, all said and done to plan for $300 before caps.
As a parent, I'd really like to know how that works out for you. :)

Or planning to spend that much on a one off aluminum case/risking a vortex aluminum one. Besides, I would rather plan to have more money than needed than not enough.
That only goes up to $145 before stabilizers, case and keycaps. So also not sure where they got $300. It all depends on what case and keycaps you want.
I was just saying the base price, I fully intend to get the one in this thread (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=38360.0) so I hope the timing is right. I'm in this to get a good quality winkeyless board that I can program.That only goes up to $145 before stabilizers, case and keycaps. So also not sure where they got $300.

Why not spend the extra for a sexy aluminum case?
Main thing you choose your layout and you can program it to do as you please.
you can control their brightness via PWM I have mine as dimm as possibleMain thing you choose your layout and you can program it to do as you please.
YES!
LED: I hate bright LED, like the white, white ones. Blue is okay. I just like being blinded if anyone knows what I mean
To be fair, with the pcb GB starting, there's another gaining traction for a custom aluminum/acrylic case and another for plates (I think).
The only thing left to source would be switches, which you could get from 7bit if you had the patience of a really patient person or source through a donor board or even through wasd.
Okay guys, I think this will be much easier if we just voted on it:Can you make it log user name in some way? Just checked and there would be no problem in multi voting (only voted once, just saying).

Yeah, I voted green, but I also like red and orange? guess I'm not really that picky. I just dont' want anything too bright.
BTW, any idea when this will transform from interest check to group buy? Seems like there are a ton of people interested.
