Woooah that looks awesome man Loving that clear blue piece

[stoic-lemon]

It's going to be great to see what you all can come up with using these cool colours.

Yea I'm super excited to see all the finished products!

The 60 pcb with blue plate looks good

indeed ! 
too bad my colour choices are sorta monotone. haha

These look so fantastic Sprit! I wish I could join in on this one.

you can join in round 2 now that you have seen how it'd be like

[Vintage]

Wow, great job Sprit. Looks better and better every time I look at this thread.

Just two questions:

- The acrylic plates are available in any color, not just clear?

- Do the plates allow modding without desoldering?

Thanks

i'm not sure about the available colours, but it's subjected to whether that particular colour u want meets the MOQ or not. from some of his pictuers, i can see there's red, sky blue, frost, clear and black, but that's for round 1.
the plates allows u to swap switch stem or springs without having to desolder them.

Man, I really love the work Sprit!! Those cases, those boards!!

[fuus]

Awesome work Sprit!

Can't wait to receive the stuff! They are simply AWESOME!
Btw, Sprit, would you mind following up my spring order please (sent through PM)?

[Latin00032]

I thought the resistors come preinstalled on the pcb.

Is this true for an unassembled order?

[Computer-Lab in Basement]

I thought the resistors come preinstalled on the pcb.

Wanted to ask this question also. Wanted to make sure all I need to do is mount the plate and solder in switches when I get my PCB.

[epzy]

From a PM.

Me: "Yes I know, but resistors will be pre-soldered on right? "

Sprit: "Yes!  I will do Factory Auto-soldering anyway!"

Oh OK.

I wanted to make sure. I couldn't handle all that. I would definitely mess that up.

[jdcarpe]

What value resistors come pre-soldered on the PCB? What forward voltages do they work well with?

[cherpalla]

Sprit,

Are we going to have a round 3? I have a complete build I want to do, but I really shouldn't just yet cuz I bought 3 cases already.

[Latin00032]

Does anyone know if and when sprit will include stabilizers?

[justnits]

Does anyone know if and when sprit will include stabilizers?

for round 1 or 2?
there's stabs for round 1...but i think i saw him mention somewhere that there's shortage of stabs...

[pichu23]

Iono for Round 2. But I'm in round 1, and I've ordered stabs. :O

[Latin00032]

The order form says that he ran out of stabilizers. I just want to know when or if there will be more.

[stancato9]

Are there any plate colour samples? I might be missing them :S

[fuus]

What value resistors come pre-soldered on the PCB? What forward voltages do they work well with?

I think you'll only get resistors if you also ordered LEDs. If you ordered LEDs they will be specific to the colour of LED you ordered!

Mine only had the controller and other SMD components soldered on it.  I have to source and solder the resistors and diodes myself.

I need 1N4148 diodes (through-hole) and SMD Resistor Imperial 0805 / 2012 Metric, right?

[ninjadoc]

Preparing to ship first round for how long now?

Does anybody have pics of the 75% plate and case, specifically if the plate fits the KC84?

Aw that sucks. The pics in the op don't really directly show the layout, and there's pretty much nothing for 75%

There was an IC for the 75% board, there are pics there:

Hello!  Pacifist ! 
Did you ordered 75%?   The Original Concept for the 75% Plate is for MX-mini, does not guarantee different Bottom row Layouts of others as KC84.

I did not order a 75% this round, but seeing that the kc84 does not work with the sprit 75%, I will probally buy a pcb, case, and plate from you in r2. Did you ever consider making more layouts for the 75% pcb?

any updates about round 1 orders?

[yicaoyimu]

I am interested in seeing accrylic and metal cases and plate for MX-MINI as well, if you have them made already. I have been waiting for the LZ-MX GH to happen for half a year now and I'm kinda tired of waiting.

any updates about round 1 orders?

Hello!  Dear Justnits! 

We are almost there for the Round 1 shipping,  But as I posted, PCB soldering remains, Each inspection, final check, Packing, check for the each Person's order, etc...  take much  longer time than expected.   I am sending simple parts orders, but even packing into boxes take quite efforts for me. 
I guess sending 10 Boxes a day is not possible for me.       
Big Apology!!

No worries Sprit! My order is pretty big. So I'm okay with waiting, given that everything is all there, and packaged nicely. As well as some other goodies added

Thanks Sprit. Most important would be all the stuff are there.
I know there are lots of addition after the initial order.

Hope your 2nd production of springs is going well too.

[)amien

Yes. I am doing this to try to take some pressure off Sprit.  I need the soldering practice.    Do be aware though that the diodes are SMD, so you need to be reasonably comfortable with a soldering iron.

The 60% FaceW PCB board also supports through-hole diodes...but only SMD resistors (for use with LEDS):

This is a brilliant design by BeastMask, and how all PCBs should be designed, IMO.

You only need one. SMD diode OR Through hole diode.
