PCBPresoldered SMD - $30
DIY kit - $22
bare PCB - $6Those are updated prices at this quantity. The bare PCB is a new option you can get. It
does not come with any other components. You'll have to source all your own SMD components and solder them on for a fully functional PCB. This is offered in case you can source the components for cheaper. I attached the BOM file that details the components, you're welcome to use different types as long as they have the same specs. Mouser and Digikey prices in the US are shown, but any supplier works too.
If you're extremely tight on budget right now, then grab a bare PCB (and plate?), and everything else can be sourced later to complete your build.
PlatesI've reorganized the OP to show pics of the actual plates, and the possible layout each plate supports. Basically all 1.25x size modifier plates only supports the one layout it's intended for, and 1.5x size modifier plates supports full winkey, WKL, HHKB, and 10x spacebar. Universal plate supports all layouts, so I'm not going to do redundant renders for these.
The new universal plate for 10x spacebar supports 1.25x and 1.5x - 1x modifiers. You can also use normal 7x spacebar and 1.5x modifiers, just no 1.25x and 6.25x modifiers. This one will be made by special request only, since quantity will not be high enough for GB prices.
IvanIvanovich plate layout is canceled, there are zero orders for that plate. ISO 1.5x, ISO 1.5x pure shift, and Samwisekoi's layout have less than 10 orders. Those two ISO plates might have to be merged, and Samwisekoi's might cost more because of the quantities.
Currently, price is still $16. I can't get an exact amount because the company I'm getting these cut from is a relatively large company, and their quoting process must follow certain procedures. They need exact numbers, and they give out official documented quotes so any changes needs to be requoted and has an expiration. The size and amount of cutting required for these GH60 plate is roughly 68% of a TKL plate (~$23.36), so 68% of a TKL plate cost is projected at ~$16.
Hi ***,
With my apologies, we will not be able to provide any preliminary pricing. Our Estimating Department has limited resources and that preparing quotes for budgetary estimates is not cost effective for our company. We would prefer to quote quantities only when they’re ready for production.
Please submit your RFQ once you’ve finalized your quantities and anticipate placing an order.
A prototype is currently being made to make sure everything fits.
MiscSome orders requested for costar 7x wires. I'm not sure this will be available, as WASDkeyboards is not able to provide them. Costar stabilizers are $7 per set.
If you want white switches, we might be able to get them separately from a supplier, something like
this. For clears, you can get mx greys, they have the exact same stem. I don't imagine very many will use the stock clear springs. Or if you're willing to settle for some used clears, then it can be offered.
I also added alixinhzai's
acrylic case to the OP.
PS – don’t quote this whole post if you want to respond to just one point.
