Bump. Still looking for that 7x wire ... I missed out on one earlier in the week

I seriously think I might start and interest check and possibly a group buy for 7x costar wires. These things are way too hard to find

If you are going to do the IC and GB for Costar 7x, I would like to share the specification that I did for my prototype that I mentioned before.

Type of material: Stainless steel 304 wire
Size: 16 AWG (1.29mm)

Design

Test prototype on 16AWG stainless steel wire

Expected implementation problems:
+ 16 AWG Stainless steel 304 is very hard, as hard as hardened wire (music wire), so I don't think the E/Z Bender Wire Forming Tool (http://shop.dubro.com/p/e-z-bender-wire-forming-tool) can bend it.
+ It seems Costar manufacturer has CNC bending machine, so if we are going to bend the wire manually, the combination pliers, heavy nose pliers, heavy vise should be used.
+ The Z-bend in the middle is the hardest part.
+ Each Costar 7x wire will need at least 190mm material.

Bumping for new items - Phantom plates and Phantom PBT keys.

All the plates allow for switch top removal.

I find them very interesting, since the switch removable plates I've seen so far have notches at the corners.

You don't have a pure 7 bit do you? (IE small spacebars, not the hybrid C or D in your listing)

There are much clearer hi-res photos of the designs for everything except plates A and B in my group buy thread. I think the design of plate A is the design you're used to seeing. I actually prefer jdcarpes design without the extra lip on the side because it's got less corners to get messed up during cutting, switch stability is virtually identical, and I think it looks cleaner/nicer.

Plate E is a pure 7BIT plate. Plate B is the only hybrid plate. Plates C and D are just regular 125 and 150 plates.

Negative, these plates do not have the necessary cutout for the controller.

Are any of the usable phantom plates still available? I've always wondered too, when people put together phantoms with this layout, what case do they use? I do want one of these plates as I've been wanting to build this layout for a while. If those cases are still around that kind of just snap to the bottom of the plate, does anyone know where to get them? Or just anything that will work with this layout! Thanks!

There's one mint ANSI 150 left and two usable ones with cosmetic defects. These 150 plates will work in most TKL cases but these are the most compatible with Filco. It will work with CoolerMaster cases and a few others with some slight modifications.

Looking for a silenced 87 key Realforce. Black would be my preference since I could just pull the top off and drop it on my existing PCB with 55g cups and not have to pop out the plungers but a silenced white would be okay as well.

I remember that you were looking for a 7x costar stabilizer and see that you removed it, did you find one? If so could you recommend a place to find one, I bent the one that I had and am in need of two.

Unfortunately I never actually found one. I eventually just gave up.
