If you guys haven't already PMed Elton about the order transfer, I suggest you do so. It's much easier for him to track changes through PMs than by watching his threads.

I was actually drafting a PM, but forgot about it because the invoice hadn't been paid at the time. Thanks for the reminder.  :thumb:

Are there official Cherry transparent/clear tops available? If not, could I use Gaterons with Cherry?

I believe there are Cherry RGB switches which are pretty hard (impossible??) to find. you can swap the clear housing from gaterons to cherry though I believe!

Thanks for the info. I've got ~100 65g R1 Zealios that I could use for that. I'll probably not use them anyway. Although it is a wee bit of a shame to use them for that purpose. Initially I was on planning to sell them cheaply.

Best bet would be to use an RGB Corsair K-series board as a donor for those. The tops don't have slots for in-switch LEDs though, so you can't get the the classic nixie look  exact with them.

First off, super excited to see this news!

Second, this may be a dumb question but I know there are two groups and the first one of course only includes the first 30. My question is do we go by the number on the left of the Google doc or the number on the far right next to our invoice?



Endgame? There is no endgame.

Same here... Just the other day I was contemplating to PM elton and ask if I could make a change in my order. Thought there was plenty of time left.

Now I am REALLY glad I jumped on the Zealios R2 GB.

I don't think you'll need to worry about soldering the SMD RGB LEDs, but I Don't know about SMD in-switch LEDs. Everything else should be soldered already.

You can't really just "drop out". Only option is for someone to sell their order.

There will be a 3rd batch, so I'll open back the order form after the first batch is shipped.

The 1st batch is almost ready to be shipped.  Truecustom is working hard on filling up the custom shipping forms right now.

Assuming all rounds follow the same sort of scheme that Round 1 followed, Round 3 would probably hit your doorstep in November. That's assuming creation of all the parts takes 2 months like Round 1 did and then giving like a month of leeway for shipping and such.
