Hello numiru!   

Filco cases are usually Not compatible with the A.87 PCB.

Ok, thanks

Is August 8 for all round 1 orders? Some people mentioned a delay in 4mm metal plates due to low interest. Is that still the case?

Hi!  Melanic!    
Yes!  and the 4mm metal plates are under 15 pcs at this moment, suffering machining errors.  I am doing pm on that to each people.

Sprit, you may want to specify how close the 75%, 87% and 110% are to hitting MOQ where everything could be factory pre-soldered.  I have seen in other GBs that if that information is available the community rallies around those numbers to push them up to the MOQ.  Might be worth it to update that status every couple weeks.

I will do all together in One Invoice !

Sprit - Orders for round 2 60% boards should expect invoice over the next few days if I read the update right?

There were a few changes we discussed but as you are a super busy guy you may not remember, should I submit a new order or wait and see if the invoice is correct then can inform of any changes if needed?

Thanks

All the Orders are kept well and backuped.
You can send a New one to modify some details since May 14th.   
The PCB soldering have been killing me harder than Smoking in the R1.   
I would love to do that anytime, But been Too Much so far.

Hi!   Jorge!   
Your 60% is well?    

Yeah, It's doing well. The quality of the pcb is superb, I was able to tinker as much as I want and there is still no damage in the pcb given the fact Im noob in soldering...
Unfortunately, it is sitting in my desk right now as it is still waiting for keycaps.

What layout do you need for your keycaps. Maybe I can hook you up?

[pasph]

Model 2, 3 Cases are 2-Layerd so in the order form
"Acryl Case - Color & Finish ? - Top / Middle / Bottom Layer"
we have to choose only 2 colors not 3?

    I may understood  it means :   middle : Clear  /   Bottom : Blue.

Hi Sprit,

Does the Acrylic with matte finish doesn't easily get scratch?

[sprit]

Hi Sprit,

Does the Acrylic with matte finish doesn't easily get scratch?

Not get easily scratched  by fingers or nails,  IMO.   

Smooth  finish is more Fragile, delicate, more Transparent, so it can be more Beatiful in certain Combos, as We know.    

I have been trying to get Better Acrylic materials, and Better Color and Qualities.

Have You sent another one?    Maybe Lost,  Mis-Transfered ?

I submitted on the 15th, did mine make it into R2, or did I miss this?

EDIT: Just got invoice, paying this now
I'll need to change my address before Shipping begins, I'll be updating all GB's I'm in once I have one

It's  Num Lock  LED  Indicator for 87% W PCB !
I will Post on that soon.

All the LEDs are working on my board except for the darn pause button 

It is probably dedicated to the Num Lock?  Check under the PCB and see if it has N/L under that switch...

Is there case with thin bezel?

Is there case with thin bezel?

You mean  lower,  or  narrower?   

Thin,  narrow cases  have  problems  like  Poker II stock case,  as  we see  around.

Model 2, 3   Cases have 8mm thick Bottom  Layer,  as Strong  as  some  Alu cases , IMO.  (* Dont  believe me, Please!)

Those transparent cases are so beautiful! Great job! 

[sprit]

All  Clear is  Standard,  for everycolor combos, imo.

Model 1 (3-Layered)  Case can be slim down to  Model 2, 3  (2-Layered).
You can take the Top layer off,  and  make it 2-Layerd with small mod.
You can order any Color  layer separately,  Sir!   

As mentioned from R1  Interest check.... 

Mix  n  Match !!

Wow! Those are gorgeous! I would love one of the Model 3 Super Slims for my Phantom. Any estimates on pricing? Is black a color option? If so, I would have to decide between two color options, either all black or clear bottom with a black top.

Edit - found the answers to all my questions on the order form. Now I just need to figure out what colors I want
