Yes, it's here! I knew you'd come through doodersbrother!

I posted the link over on the IC thread.

what happened to the massdrop?

[Waateva]

what happened to the massdrop?

I'm assuming it didn't hit MOQ

[LeandreN]

That is a really great price for what you get !

[Bumbibear]

Will this be pre-assembled or I'll do that myself? e.g soldering switches ?

[kawasaki161]

Okay, this price is a LOT better than the massdrop one, even the shipping is cheaper. This change got me very interested. Seems like the Topre board has to wait now, also seems like I have to order more Zealios in R3.


OT:
I'm getting way too many keyboards. It just started with that one QF TK because I wanted to try out browns(actually have Zealios in that one now), now I also want a Topre, this and the 62/60.

Edit:

How will the customs declaration of the package look like? Will it be 100% of the price we pay or something that will be easier on our wallet?

[redbanshee]

Stoked on this with the reduced price and other barebones options.

In. Glad you guys decided to ditch Massdelay and offer it on here.

[WNovizar]

So near yet so far from my dream layout......

I mark as gift and worth will probably be around $90.

Didn't.  It might have at this price.  Good work sourcing different parts!

Shipping date as May 31st - seems rather aggressive considering the final date for orders isn't listed, and there's no order form linked.

Thoughts?

Yeah, that was assuming we started production right now. Turnaround should still be quick.

Order form is at the way top haha

[LunarisDream]

Haha.

Glad to see this here. I was really sad when MD didn't go through because this does look like a great board in a novel form factor. And the price difference! Wow.

[aaron6301]

Great price, you can count me in!

[kawasaki161]

I mark as gift and worth will probably be around $90.

For orders that go to germany:
If marked as gift we have to pay no customs up to 45€ which is around $50 atm.
If not marked as gift we have to pay no customs up to 22€, which is a little less than $25 atm.

I will order one soonjust submitted the form and probably not care too much if I have to pay customs for a declaration of $90.

[skuko]

how much would you ask for assembly? i'm really not into soldering

[mogo]

Submitted my order; that's a much more tolerable price-point. I was worried that I'd have to let my dreamboard pass on by. I hope this price draws in enough buyers! 

[MaNiFeX]

Looks great.  Reminds me of the Mac Keyboard (from the SE days).  Great Job!

[mogo]

You're not wrong! Such style and compactness, aw yeah.

[alexjd99]

Wooo! Much cheaper than Massdrop. Great layout and great design, super stoked this is happening

[aaron6301]

Great price, you can count me in!

Edit: Order submitted

[UsualSuspectXXX]

Finally made my decision. Submitted!

Registered on here just to say how glad I am this drop is happening! Can't wait to get my hands on this board!

Welcome to GH!

[breitling]

This doesn't come with stabs right? What kind of does PCB and plate take PCB mount or plat mount stabs?

[doodersbrother]

It says it includes PCB mount cherry stabs haha

[JaccoW]

Vey nice board for the price!

[UsualSuspectXXX]

When will orders close? And when will invoicing begin?

[doodersbrother]

Will this be pre-assembled or I'll do that myself? e.g soldering switches ?

PCB will be presoldered (diodes, resistors), but switches and LED's will have to be soldered.

how much would you ask for assembly? i'm really not into soldering

Unfortunately, I'm not going to be able to offer that sorry
There's a ton of guides online, and it shouldn't be too difficult given it's throughhole.

When will orders close? And when will invoicing begin?

No exact date but about week or two from now.

[jonathanyu]

can I order this without any switches and keycaps?

[UsualSuspectXXX]

can I order this without any switches and keycaps?

Last option under switches, first option under keycaps.

Doh thanks.. so blind. Still mulling this over.... don't love the layout but the price makes it so attractive just for the heck of it.

[Bumbibear]

Submitted Form now!  

[breitling]

Does this have the same MOQ as massdrop? Also what's the deadline to join? Thanks!

[doodersbrother]

Submitted Form now!  

Awesome, thanks!

No it does not and it ends on the 10th of May!

[kawasaki161]

Wohooo birthday board then

[w00zie]

It's alive! Can't pass this up 

[skuko]

[scramm]

Can someone confirm whether or not this can run TMK firmware?

[redbanshee]

It can

[cr0n1c]

Sweet. I'm in.

[UsualSuspectXXX]

After this ships, with the source code for the default firmware be made aavailable to us?

You're a champ. 

[kawasaki161]

Can someone post here when they recieved their invoice? I can't remember if I put ***@gmail.com (wrong one) or ***@googlemail.com (right one) in the form, PayPal is very sensitive about the difference there iirc.

Thanks man!

[Brammm87]

I'm really interested, but have a couple questions, especially about the pcb:

- Is only a pcb + plate an option (no case etc)?
- Does it allow for a split numpad 0 (1800 style)?
- Do you have more pictures of the PCB?
- Is it tmk programmable like the sentraq s60? Nvm, just saw the link to the firmware.

I'm not dooders, but from what i've gathered:
-No, despite all requests it seems that if you're buying, you're buying a case, there's no opting out of it.
-No, it appears that the Num-Zero is a 2u only on the PCB.
-Here's some from the IC thread in very late stages of testing.

[redbanshee]

Speaking of  doodersbrother... where is he? How long will untill we get invoices? Are these already ordered? Are the MD kids orders going to be added into the GH orders? Little more info dude....

1. No, case is required
2. Nope, our reasoning is that we can maintain a standard bottom row for keycap compatibility by staying with the 2u zero.
3. These are earlier prototype PCB's so traces are different, but layout is the same. https://imgur.com/a/4ngZ0
4. Yep!

Hey, I check this thread every night, but usually any questions have already been answered by someone else.
MD orders are not being added, and invoices will be sent around on Monday. Sorry should have made that clear haha
