I did order 20 steel mounting plates from China, 60% ISO, Definetality has something to use the Gaterons on!

Where did you find them? Alibaba? Could you please send me a link? Thank you.
Custom made by a Chinese company.

I should have been more clear: I was talking about the company, not the plates.

I think everyone who makes steel or aluminium plates will do it for you. Search on AliBaba. I cant find the manufacturer I used right now, but will post it when I find out.

Invoice paid! Totally going to give my QFR a makeover with Gateron Blacks

Haha that's what I'm doing. I got some Vortex PBT too for it from massdrop as well not too long ago and if sprits case happens to fit it I might throw the QRF in there.

That's going to be so awesome-looking. Please post pics when you're done!

metalliqaz · « **Reply #1310 on:** Sun, 05 April 2015, 20:49:28 »

The switches were ordered based on the original order list and are apparently in transit or about to be shipped. The extras are being sold to get rid of the switches that were ordered for non-paying participants. So it shouldn't be a problem, although the GB could be delayed for other reasons.

Well it's slightly delayed because of the Good Friday weekend but because China celebrates it entirely different.

So I would receive my stuff by next week instead, they still have not shipped it yet.

Well. PayPal limited my account again.........I really would appreciate those people who cancel their own invoice to inform me and let me do it for them instead.

You do not tell me you want to join in the on the extras then cancel the invoice when it's sent to you without informing me at all........

-rage-

EDIT: and no, it will not become everyone's problem. GB still proceeds as planned.

EDIT2: and no, it's more likely they contacted you to investigate the terms of the GB etc, make sure it's not a scam.

Shadovved · « **Reply #1316 on:** Sun, 05 April 2015, 22:30:27 »

Btw, we need to stop accepting orders for everything except clear switches & transparent switch tops. The rest are near the quota (Y)

Exactly what shadovved said. People have to stop canceling their order without informing him. The PayPal dude made extra effort to ensure I know what the hell I'm paying for and what information did shadovved conveyed to me. Obviously I know what I'm doing with the transactions and assured him about mine to shadovved. It is probably due to some people canceling or reporting this to get their refunds and all.

How long will the "Taking extra orders" will last?
Is the price still at of $0.16 per switch?
I missed the original GB and I need 2 more days to sort some expenses out. After that I would like to place an order for 120 Blacks.

The price is the same, but this is not for extra orders, it's for people buying from cancelled orders.

I can give up my blues in exchange for blacks, if anyone's interested.
Btw, do you guys have any idea whether the clear tops are as smooth as the stock tops?

Then just order a little amount like 100 or 200, so you have a least some to build a TKL or a 60%. If you don't use them, just sell them afterwards.

StinkyTheDonut · « **Reply #1332 on:** Tue, 07 April 2015, 04:46:34 »

That's almost how I convinced myself to place the original order. lol
Knowing reasons like that could infinitely spin out of control is what's keeping me hesitant. lmao XD

People who didn't initially order should definitely take this chance and grab some since this is a whole lot cheaper than getting it yoursef via proxy or by joining the Massdrop GB.

metalliqaz · « **Reply #1340 on:** Wed, 08 April 2015, 11:38:22 »

It's rather amusing to me that black stems are the least valued of the MX switches and yet apparently the most valued of the gateron switches. MX black has typically been the slowest seller, and that Pok3r GB only offered red, blue, brown, and clear, for example. I wonder if the glowing reviews from linear switch lovers have kicked up a little #hype storm.

agbockus · « **Reply #1341 on:** Wed, 08 April 2015, 13:40:07 »

I just changed the layout of the custom I want to build last night....and now I need 11 more clear switches...so if anyone ordered way over what they need (in the US) and ends up wanting to sell them or something, then please let me know!

Or I guess I can just try and order some from Zeal? I don't know.

That's calculated very tightly. I would always order some overhead in case something goes wrong, especially when only $.16 per switch.

Didn't Shadovved say there weren't anymore switches left as he wanted to keep some stock in case a problem happens?
