No fancy stuff here (except for imsto's thick PBTs, of course). I can't prove its not a poker. You have to believe it's GH60 next to a prototype of the upcoming GHPad;)

Here was me assuming you used ISO! I need another set btw

still can't find the bad solder joint! (will had anther go over the weekend)

J.D's purple GH60 is my dream board right now. White on black cherry's with GMK white on purple mods + Carpurple case = MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.

first pic is a bit blurry but still soldering job looks clean (some pins look like they are not soldered though)
I may have missed something but the plate is already done?

That's a Vortex Poker plate

does it mean that Beast poker plate will fit GH60?

But I do have some plate designs ready to go. One is compatible with a Poker, and another is compatible with a Pure, so people could order for those, as well.

Yes, any Poker plate will work. If you want a standard ANSI layout. You won't be able to open some of the switches with the Beast plate without desoldering, since they are rotated 90 degrees. Unless komar is changing the design. But my plate design is like WFD's and has openings for the tabs on rotated switches also.

Batmann · « **Reply #67 on:** Sun, 17 February 2013, 14:37:28 »

That's a good news, I still have a poker plate left from Beast GB

mkawa · « **Reply #68 on:** Sun, 17 February 2013, 14:38:17 »

the joints are all good (i just tested the board -- see the betatesting thread). i solder with 0.025 and a loupe so i just made sure there was a joint and moved on; i didn't bother flowing across the pad unless that was the only way to make the joint.

Lazy.

What if you want to desolder? I sometimes have to add more solder if there isn't enough to get it all out.

mkawa · « **Reply #70 on:** Sun, 17 February 2013, 14:46:39 »

if i want it desoldered i'll send it to someone with an 808

That's a really good idea. That way you won't mess anything up. I really need to get an 808, but I can't afford it with all these keyboards and caps I keep buying.

Luke · « **Reply #72 on:** Sun, 17 February 2013, 15:32:34 »

Not really sure this is the right place to post this question but I was just thinking of how much I should save up for one of these beauty's, I've seen people say that they are going to be a similar price to the phantom but I haven't been around long enough to know about that. I'm just looking for an average price, wont be anything fancy

Cheers Guys

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #74 on:** Sun, 17 February 2013, 15:52:38 »

If you are prepared to scrounge parts from used market, you could potentially get all your keycap, switch and stabilizer from an old G80 or whatever under $30, $20-30 for a plastic poker/pure case, and whatever the final cost of the pcb. I guess I would estimate $80-90 for such a build to be conservative and then up to whatever $400+ depending on case and keycap options and so on.

so it's pretty much my choice then, amiryt? this is still probably going to be at the latter end of the scale knowing me

I'd say that the $100 is about right, I got my Phantom, through trades etc, for under $100 total.

Black Plates should be made. They look sexy

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #79 on:** Fri, 08 March 2013, 15:00:01 »

Finally got around to taking a few picture of mine...

MX red with black on space, super black on caps lock, and lock on right shift. Cherry white on black, dolch and red esc doubleshots with PBT space in a Pure plastic case.

baldgye · « **Reply #80 on:** Fri, 08 March 2013, 15:01:50 »

why would you use that lock on the shift and not caps lock ?

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #81 on:** Fri, 08 March 2013, 15:18:30 »

Shift lock and caps lock have different behavior. I mostly only used it because I had it, and thought it would be interesting.

esoomenona · « **Reply #94 on:** Mon, 11 March 2013, 09:22:57 »

I think lysol's layout is cool, and if it fits him then that's great. I wouldn't be able to use it because I use the Windows key and other keys primarily with my left hand. The only one that really requires the second hand is Win+L.

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #95 on:** Mon, 11 March 2013, 11:01:19 »

I have a huge focus on gaming. Left win is a nuisance, especially with a lot of older games that do not ignore it and you get dumped to desktop, often dying in the process. I had Lwin disable on my Pokers before, now I just don't even need to have that unwanted key there

also I often do bind things to both control and alt in gaming, and having them next to each other this way is more comfortable and convenient.
At the same time I do find the win+ hotkeys very useful outside of gaming so total winkeyless was not ideal either. This layout was my solution to have it both ways as it were.

esoomenona · « **Reply #96 on:** Mon, 11 March 2013, 11:07:13 »

In that case, it does sound like a good layout.

Glissant · « **Reply #97 on:** Thu, 14 March 2013, 13:05:45 »

I just finished soldering switches to my GH60 PCB. Everything is working great so far. I just did the Poker layout, but I might change it in the future when I have more experience.
(I'm so sorry for horrible quality photo. My S3 can't deal with low light)

The switches are red stem with black spring (one brown switch lol)

Thanks to WhiteFireDragon (he did the SMD and pre-programming for me too) and jdcarpe for the PCB.

Tomorrow I will be playing with programming the thing. YAY.
