Are round 2 invoices going out soon?

Are round 2 invoices going out soon?

Hello!  cherpalla!
When most of the Round 1 shipped,  I am planning.   This will be OK?   
 

[BlueBär]

Sprit is there a list of which orders have been shipped?

Sprit is there a list of which orders have been shipped?

I am doing shipping out the small parts Orders Now,   Preparing for the PCB+ Case + Parts orders.   
yet too many things to do.        I am trying to focus on quality control.
Simple PCB only orders will ship first,  but depends on the soldering progress.
I am focusing on this.

Good to hear that Sprit!
Any idea that you actually shipped mine? i order pcb + plate + small parts without case fyi

[metalliqaz]

Is there a 75%?

[BlueBär]

Is there a 75%?

Yes.

[bakteria]

Spirit you could skip the soldering for my order if that would help speed things up. I think I'll manage

[IronJoeJac]

I don't know if this has already been asked but would the 60% pcb and and plate fit into any other cases such as a poker one?

[Zeal]

Yes, sprit's pcb and plate fits in poker style cases.

Yes, sprit's pcb and plate fits in poker style cases.

Thanks, that helps me a lot.

[loud_asian]

Does anyone know if the pcb fits into any other cases? Shipping is gonna cost me an arm and a leg if I have to buy a case from sprit.

[nuclearsandwich]

Does anyone know if the pcb fits into any other cases? Shipping is gonna cost me an arm and a leg if I have to buy a case from sprit.

What size PCB? The 60% fits Poker / GH60 cases and I think the tenkeyless fits Filcos but I'm not completely sure. That part of the thread was like October ago. Heh.

[YongJK]

I noticed I forgot to pay.
Are you able to ship this week?
if yes I will pay asap.

[Permeability]

Sprit can you please update me on my order? Thanks

[taylordcraig]

Hi Sprit hope things are going well.
I still want to order a keyboard from you.
I've just been buying so many other things.

Can anyone tell me if stabs/springs/switches and everything is available so I can buy a complete board? Or how long it will be sold out for?
Thanks in advance.

It seems like custom gold plated springs, PCB mount stabilizers and MX Clear switches are out of stock in R2.

[Lubed Up Slug]

So for these plates, acrylic, 1.6 mm, and 4 mm will they allow for switch removal without desoldering?

Also what is the benefit of the 4 mm plate over the 1.6 mm one?  Does it just feel more solid?

Sorry forgot to mention it was the 87% I was talking about. I don't think it fits into Filcos cause the usb port on the sprit pcb is on the far left while the Filco has its port in the middle

I'm not sure about the 1.5, but I think the 4mm aluminum is too deep to remove switchtops -- they're completely buried in there. And yes, as has been discussed, it's HEAVY and also stiff -- this has ramifications that entice some, and repulse others.

[Lubed Up Slug]

Could I get a plate from the other 60% plate group buy and would it be compatible? Also if I were to get the PCB does it come with a controller?  Would I need to program layers onto it?

It seems like custom gold plated springs, PCB mount stabilizers and MX Clear switches are out of stock in R2.

So are there just stock switches [red/blue/brown/black] and no different weight springs? We get plate mount stabilizers? Are they Cherry or Costar? I don't know much about stabilizers. Thanks for your time.

I said PCB mount stabilizers.  The majority of Korean boards use PCB mount.
And yes, only the "standard" switches are available. Plus, I don't think you will be lacking any custom springs

[Cottonsox]

anychance on a quick update, just in general.

I understand things are busy and moving slowly. Be good to just know a little bit of information in regards to where things are at in regards to round 1 and how close to shipping these orders might be.

[lotus1109]

Received mine. Should start assembling now!
What is the key to switch on the led for facew?

Sounds good! I order similar stuff. Fingers crossed for my stuff. (PCB, case, switch, spring, lub)

[Pacifist]

are you going to make 75% metal cases?

[Lubed Up Slug]

Does the plate allow for switch removal without desoldering? Could I use another 60% plate with this PCB?

According to pictures sprit has provided it looks like its switch removable. You should also be able to use another plate for the 60% such as a beast plate! Just remember if you use leds in your switches you cant remove them either way.

you can if you use SIP headers in your switches.

edit: I meant sip sockets

Firstly, yes the acrylic plate seems to support it, I was just wondering about the aluminum ones, I should have been more clear.

Second on the topic of LEDs, I was under the impression that through the magic of modification, you could mod switches to allow for LEDs and removal, by removing the LED ring thingy.  As shown in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEAzBbVU-yE

Third, what are SIP headers and how do they relate to this?  Please enlighten me, I am new to this.  (Yes I googled it, nothing helpful)

Unless you use SIP sockets, which I will be using on this board and would recommend.

I was told that the switch tops are removable on these plates by sprit.

Excuse my extreme ignorance but is there a particular type/spec of SIP socket to use?

Of course not all sip sockets are made to fit keyboards but many do like these ones: http://www.ebay.com/itm/3Pcs-Single-Row-40Pin-2-54mm-Round-Female-Pin-Header/140910386490?_trksid=p2052191.m2067&_trkparms=aid%3D555003%26algo%3DPW.CAT%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D23%26meid%3D3295674393841359663%26pid%3D100028%26prg%3D1009%26rk%3D4%26rkt%3D15%26sd%3D221186042943%26 They are confirmed to work!

[Vintage]

Wow... never knew you could do that. Will have to look into that xD

There is a thread on here dedicated to sip socket implementations. I am on my phone, so I can't easily link it right now. There are lots of ways to work with the sockets, so check that thread for more details. I did a little video to show how I use them.

[Cottonsox]

I linked it a few post back.

I do try fn+caps / esc+caps according to faceu guide but it seems that it is not working on facew. Anyone could tell me which keys to trigger the led mode? Thanks

Hi! Lotus!       Please,
- Check the positive legs of LEDs  You got.  it's usually the longer one.
- FN + Caps should work as You know

Hello Sprit, is there an estimated schedule of shipping out the stuff please?

I'm waiting for the lub to assembly my some other keyboard.

[thestage]

if I source my own switches and stabilizers for this, do I need PCB mount, plate mount, or either?

Stabilizers are PCB mount. Switches can be either PCB or plate, depending on your configuration.

[thestage]

does anyone have a picture of what the "frosty" color option looks like for the plate or case?
