Hello!  winged mantis!
Yes! The plates allow for switch to disassembe!

Will the keyboard come fully assembled or will we be putting it together ourselves? I saw Sprit say they do come fully assembled, but some of the others are saying this is not true. Which is it?

Also, if you order a TKL, will the top cover be all acrylic/metal, or will it be black plastic like in this picture: http://geekhack.org/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=50580.0;attach=47055;image

The first round is just going to be complete PCBs, by that I mean its going to have all the SMD soldering done for you so all you need to do is add the switches and put it in a case. Sprit is going to offer a service for the 2nd round where you can have people assemble it for you, from what I understand.

By "add the switches" do you mean soldering the switches to the PCB?

Yes

[dorkvader]

And by "put in a case" I mean that I will type on the flat PCB over cardboard.

Top cover will be Provided!  The Pic shows  Commercial PCBs into my Case, Sorry for confusion!     

Round 1 GB is basically Self-assemble,  Round 2 is You can Choose Parts, All assembled (SWs, Diodes, LEDs, etc)   

[witbliz]

Sprit, can I hold my 1st round order so that your team can assemble it ? Or should I cancel and wait for your second round to happen ?

If we participate in round 2, can we choose the spring weight AND switch type?

[kennyk64]

I've already ordered but I'm still waiting for the metal case...

[sprit]

This is pasph's Idea for the AT/XT style Layout !      

What is Your Idea?        

[WinterIsle]

It's too long, I will rather get a full size keyboard instead of this.

[distel]

Jip, its too long for my taste.
80% of the desk full with one keyboard.

[sprit]

Jip, its too long for my taste.

What about  Left Num Pad?    

[WinterIsle]

Left numpad i bet more than half of ppl will not utilize it, unless as macro keys setup.
Just cut out that left side f-keys will be looking much better.

[distel]

What about  Left Num Pad?   

I would be in if the numpad is on the left instead of the right side and the right side is cut away.  I like it much more when left and right hand are closer together.  But thats only me.

[pmh1410]

Sprit, your Red Aluminium housing case is nice. I want order it

[AKmalamute]

I'd just like to throw my $.02 in, and say that proposed XT layout, apparently suggested by Pasph but presented by spirit, looks fine. It would be better than a conventional layout in a few ways, and certainly unique enough to justify paying for a custom keyboard.

As much as I dearly want to order an aluminum case, I probably can't afford it for any size; too many other things making claims on my income.

 Also, while I'm very appreciative of the assembly services being offered, I've already gotten the switches for the particular PCB I'll be getting -- namely the ALPS board, so I won't need any extra assembly,  but might pick up extra stabilizers and possibly MX compatible springs for other projects I'm in the middle of.

I will retry

I think the third one is the best.  :thumb:

Maybe the numpad can be put on both sides like this

[apotheosis]

Would it be possible to use the full-size case to house a das-keyboard (with usb modification) or fullsize Topre Realforce 104UB or would the PCBs not fit? If so I'd buy 2 of full size metals.

Also, you have fields for metal cases in two of the forms links. Would we need to submit both?

[sprit]

Spring Samples  :

Now 50g / 55g / 60g / 62g / 65g / 68g / 70g / 80g / 100g / 120g  under Production

Basically It fits, of cause, Need a Mod for Screw Connexion and USB.    
Actually My case design started 2 years ago, for my Filco 87% and Full size and The Poker.
I am working on, I will show soon, Sorry for the Delay!

They look cool

I am trying to figure out how many different types of gold springs I want to order now, I know I am going to get two sets of 120g springs, a set of 65g, maybe even 62g 

[Puddsy]

Can I still order springs? I've got a bunch of spring mods I've been looking to do.

I would buy this in a heartbeat, I nearly bought the Lightsaver but the missing gap between the numpad and alphas was really off putting.

I Love  1  & 3  for myself.        I'd like to call No.3 : Tenkeyless 75%  ?!? 

I always need a Gap between Alphas  and Arrows or Num Pad  !

I respect the Others may want a compact Layout!    

[distel]

I think I end up ordering in 2nd round as well as. damn sexy all that stuff.

[Sai]

Hi spirit, do you have any price estimation for All-Assembled Full-Set from 2nd round gb ? and how long till the end date for 2nd round ?

[witbliz]

Paid my invoices and can't wait for the metal casing design to be showcased... Sprit will it be possible to show me how the gun metal grey will turn out ?  and how does multicolored LED look like with the orange LED ? confused slightly haha.

I've gotten some of mine in 4 business days. Normally under 2 weeks for sure though. Most likely looking at around 7 days though it's normally customs that makes it spontaneous

[keymaster]

When will you send invoices for the separate orders for stabilizers and springs? If I had ordered a PCB and case, could you ship everything together? Thanks, sprit.

[swill]

Depends on the shipping method.  To Canada from China it has been taking between 7 days and 30 days...

[mooswa]

Sprit, you have mentioned that 2nd group buy will be open Jan 17th, but there is a link on OP to an OPEN 2nd order.  Do I wait for 17th or order now via that link?

Can anyone summarize what are the pros and cons of not using a plate for a 60%?

The EMS sent to NY took 4 days.  To California should be the same or less, I guess.

Hi~ moosa !   
2nd GB ready, So I opened earlier,  Sorry for Confusion!   


This is just my very personal Opinion :

< Using a Metal Plate for a 60%  : Pros  and Cons? >
Pros  : Solid, Rigid, Stable Key Touch and Slider movement, good for 62g +
Cons : Hard, Stiff, Sometimes painful for the Soft Key Touch Users under 60g.

< Using a Acry Plate for a 60%  : Pros  and Cons? >
Pros  : Solid, Rigid, Stable Key Touch and Slider movement, with Overall Softness. and You can Enjoy the PCB Colors and Better LED effects.
Cons :  Thin Acryl may breaks, but Thick Acryl are Solid enough. Weak to the Scratch, Need a Soft brush ro clean.
