[SPRiT] R1 R2 (Shipping 92% Completed)

[sprit]

When are you shipping the first round of PCB's and plates?

Hello Nijadoc !   
I am sending The Shipping Invoices and Sorting out the simple order first,  So preparing to Ship the Simple Orders first!
I sent Some this week.

[sprit]

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.

Hello keymaster !  I am sending The Shipping Invoices and Sorting out the simple order first,  So preparing to Ship the Simple Orders first!
The Gold Springs are under production, so I will start packing The Springs Order Next week,  surely Yours Too. 

[ithinkimkorean]

I think I forgot to specify what kind of stabilizers I wanted on my order form. I wanted plate ones

Hello!  Happy New Year ! 
I will check and Pack proper ones for You !   

[swill]

Will Ship the Simple Orders first!

Haha, my three order madness is going to get shipped last.

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.

Thanks Sprit!  And how does that compare with going bare PCB / no plate - I understand that is also an option, right?

I think that depends on the case you plan to use. Not sure all of his cases support no plate. I'm sure he will verify.

No plate will be much softer and not as ridged as plate mounted.

Preparing to Ship :  Need to Sort and Pack into Small Packs.

Ouch, $50 shipping to Canada... kind of expected it though

Looking forward to getting this soon!

[ckywylee]

Hello sprit, can I only buy MX springs on 2nd GB?

[cookiesowns]

I am sending Shipping Invoices by This Weekend,  Please Wait Guys!        

Cool! How long does it take to ship from Korea to California?

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

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

Cool. I really need to get my items in before February 4th. You think that's possible? So it will need to be shipped before end of this month.

Only $50? I live in the US and my shipping is $72...that's like a whole keyboard by itself.

Shipping cost  72 USD to USA is based on Total 3.5KG (He ordered acryl Plate,  Yours is 4mm Metal plate) + Packing Materials and EMS Boxs (+ Inner Boxes) + Labor.

His Order is Total 2.5Kg to Canada!  (Edited  Jan. 16 22:48)
If There is Overcharge, or undercharge, I will refund or charge that ! 

[xandr]

I take it, you're still in the process of invoicing everyone from the first GB?

Just asking, because I haven't received a shipping invoice yet and I somehow tend to believe that you're not gonna send my order to Ireland for free.

[kennyk64]

Is the 75% metal case compatible with keycool 84 PCB?

[naokira]

Spirit you got my PM?

[HPE1000]

So is my shipping also going to cost $72 because I got a 4mm thick plate?

[geogga]

Hey guys, this looks very interesting.

I can't really find the difference between the metal and acrylic cases...

What is the reasoning behind different alu plates (1.6mm vs 4mm)? Also acrylic plate?

I know this question is slightly more obvious but uhh which mx switch has which weighted spring?

Sorry for sounding annoying, but I may want to get this and I have never built my first keyboard yet.

Also, when is the deadline for this? Will there be another round or website where we can order the parts off of?
Looks gorgeous and I don't want to miss this opportunity but I will if it is available later.

Can I still add stabilizers to my order if I have not received a shipping invoice yet?

What would be the best way to do so?

[AKmalamute]

No idea of course, but ... that IS a lot of aluminum you're making the carriers lug around all day. As they walk across the ocean from Korea.

[HPE1000]

Hopefully it isn't because all I ordered was a PCB, Plate and some accessories, I didn't get a case or anything

[fuus]

*pray* mine is under 1KG!
EDIT: It's almost certainly 2, how upsetting

Doesn't look too bad. So My order should be around 8-10KG, not bad at all.  Sprit again. I really appreciate it if you can get this shipped out before end of this Month. In fact, if you can get the items to me before February 6th, I'll be able to do thorough overview & review, as well as high def pictures that you can use

[BlueBär]

25$ shipping for springs and stabs
No cheaper option available? Like in a bubble mailer or something?

[Zeal]

Hi sprit, I see you've added some pics of the metal case. Could we get some side picture views? And maybe even bottom pick   thanks!

[swill]

Hi sprit, I see you've added some pics of the metal case. Could we get some side picture views? And maybe even bottom pick   thanks!

Where are these pictures you speak of?  I only see the hybrid metal case in the OP...

[Puddsy]

How long do we have to pay? I need until Feb.

[pasph]

Can we have an acry case for 110% with the numpad on the left side?
On this 2nd  Order can we have that configuration all assembled?

[strict]

Do you have an aluminum plate for sale that would fit a Filco tenkeyless board? If so, would it be possible to order only the plate and maybe a few spring sets (62g, 65g, 68g)?

[Zeal]

"SPRIT  Model 1  Metal  -  Design No.02      Pics below    "

I assumed the pics below were metal cases + acryl midplate. I guess it might have been a fusion mix.

PCB info says All SMDs are presoldered.
If we want to assemble this ourselves, do we have to solder anything else on the PCB ( besides LEDs and switches)

Also, is the springs option for people who want to change the spring? like a spring swap?

[sprit]

So is my shipping also going to cost $72 because I got a 4mm thick plate?

Hello HPE100 !   

YouR Order is  : 60% PCB + 4mm Alu Plate +  1set LED + No case
After Packing, it is estimated to be : 200g + 600g + 30g + Inner Box (150g) + EMS Box No.3 (250g) = 1.25KG

Korean Post EMS 1.25KG costs aroung 40 USD  + (Packing Box 1USD + Packing materials 1USD + etc = 3 USD for Small Packing)
(40 USD after my Paypal fee will be 38.4 USD and Exchange rate will be 39.5(x1,000) Korean Won, hoplely)

Total Estimated Packing and Shipping Cost to USA = 40 USD + 3 USD = 43 USD. 
* If There is Overcharge, or undercharge, I will refund or charge that !

just switches and led that needs to be soldered on.
all pcb already have SMD parts soldered on including diodes and also resistors if i'm not mistaken.

yes u may purchase springs to swap springs on your switches.

Thank you very much! I hope those diodes and such are included; I don't want to solder those small bits because they are a bit confusing and I need to learn a bit more on how to solder them.

So with that info in mind I may jump and get a 60% and TKL keyboard since the price is a steal I'll probably get one, hopefully my peeps at home won't critisize me on my third keyboard hehe, becoming outta control
