Information and Updates

CHECK ORDER HERE: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vQMHo2QqRLlHx63qiji9BAJ_hCQ99DZ18Yz0rWARaZU7BEm1prhhhWArGpeGd2hQhtdz0dJ-jkFGhZz/pubhtml?gid=0&single=true

Information about changes on Page 13


Thank you all for the interest in the GSKT-00.  Supplemental information from the GB will not be repeated here, so please see the Interest Check thread for more in-depth information.

Some options are still being decided on privately (pcb colors, alps plate layouts) but the practice form will have the most up to date options when it is released.  Be prepared for a long form because of all the options.

The GB will open on January 20th.  I am in the US-EST time zone and I am shooting for the form to open sometime in the late afternoon or early evening.  This should give most of the US a good chance for it and the people in Europe and Asia shouldn't have to stray too far outside their schedules either.  I will update with the official time on Monday morning.

Opening at 5pm EST.

One more thing is I had to raise the international shipping price to $50 after checking a lot of estimates, hopefully this isn't too much of a deterrent.  Only $5 but worth mentioning.  2 units will also be an additional $15 charge regardless of location.

Practice Form: CLOSED

Official Form, opens 1/22 at 5pm EST: CLOSED

Timeline

For 200 boards and plates it is looking like up to 90ish business days of manufacturing time.  Can't really get this lower, so it will be a bit of a wait, but that's to be expected at that high of a unit count and with all the plates.  If for whatever reason we don't hit the maximum then it will of course take less time.  PCB turnaround should be some time less than the boards and gaskets and screws are a trivial amount of time to acquire so no worries there.  Again cerakoting will add another 3-4 weeks of time (potentially longer depending on how many people want it) so be prepared for that as well.  But that will only affect those who are getting a board koted.

As far as what to expect out of me for updates, I will not update with any information unless something is happening.  Meaning when boards ship to me, pcbs ship, we get components, etc then there will be an update.  Otherwise, I will not have anything to say.  Having weekly updates that are nothing more than me saying "still waiting" are not useful and will be forgone.

Form Submission and Invoicing

Please take your time to fill out the form carefully and accurately.  For such a large potential unit count I do not have the time or patience to edit/change much (if any) information filled incorrectly.  I would appreciate if you make sure the information you submit is accurate and complete so it saves me time in getting orders to the factory and to you as quick as I can.  If you fill out the form really quickly without the right info just to get a spot, then try to have me change it all after the fact, then I will cancel your order.  If it's a small thing we'll make it work, but please try to submit it right the first time.  Please help me make this as smooth as possible and get these boards to you all with as little headache as possible. Thank you.

The form will stay open as long as the maximum has not been hit.  If we don't have the maximum in 2 weeks time then it will be closed and run with the amount received.


Invoices will be sent as I create them so expect a week or so of me sending invoices out.  Invoices should be paid as quickly as possible, the sooner everyone submits, the sooner we can send an order to the factory.  You will have 2 weeks to pay from the time you receive your invoice.  If you have not paid by then, your spot will be passed to the next person in line and so on. 

Submission to the factory will not happen until all orders are paid for.

There are no refunds of any kind.  Once you have paid the money, you will not be getting it back unless there is some failure on my end at which point probably everyone would be refunded, but that is an absolute worst case scenario.  Worth mentioning in the spirit of Caveat Emptor.

Pricing

- Case: $225

- Plate: $25 Half - $30 Full

  - Materials: Aluminum (Silver, Gray, Black, Red), Stainless Steel (Brushed), POM (black transparent, expect potential slight warping and/or very small misalignment), Acrylic (Clear), Polycarbonate (Frosted)

- PCB: $25

- Shipping: $25 CONUS - $50 International

- Cerakote (any non-custom color): $50


A final thank you to all the friends who have used this board and those who have expressed interest in it.  You are appreciated.  :thumb:

Seems I have a brain that is stupid. None of the swatches I uploaded were Light Sand 🙃

I have one somewhere, i'll see if i can find it and show something before the form opens on Monday.

For the POM plate, will the warping be some what fixed when fully built? Also, what kind of misalignment?

If there is any it will be very slight, such that you might need to make sure the plate is pressed a bit more flat whilr you solder. There have also been a few pom plates i've order that have a cut or two off my fractions of a mm that i had to file slightly. It's all very small problems that don't actually affect a build but just something to be aware of. I'll check they're within spec before i ship it and if i think it's enough of a problem i'll replace it and it won't matter.
What payment methods will you be accepting? Paypal?

The invoice will be generated by Shopify so whatever they support including Paypal. You will still order through the form so there's no storefront to worry about. Just using Shopify for invoicing and keeping track of things better.

Just as a heads up, these chips are fairly inaccurate. They are made of a really cheap pliable metal and it coats and takes color fairly differently from aluminum. It is a good basis for understanding, but really only use these as a loose guide, not a 1:1 comparison.

Quite right. Your the man. Never had anything cerakoted before so I have no clue. It is nice feeling the finish though, which I imagine will be closer to the real thing even if colors aren't completely. I might go with stormtrooper white just because of the glassy smooth finish.

I own both, which is the correct choice to make. The spacebar from the half plate is really nice. But the alphas from a full plate are also good.

The half plate really shows off the flex cut in the pcb which really offers a responsive typing experience. The full plate is a more traditional aluminum plate feel with a unique sound.

It does look like a cool off white. It's not stormtrooper white white but it's got a little bit of cream. If you go too warm or yellow it looks like aged plastic rather than a color choice. The snow white could look good with a lot of caps.

Earlier than expected, practice form here: https://forms.gle/T8tZfmLbdwiSecMq9

This form is only representative of the option selections, not the overall length of the form or a complete order.  This is stripped down to only show selections for 1 case, 1 pcb and 1 plate.  The real form will use the same option selections but have more sections.

Sharing this early to help clear up any confusion people have with the current setup.  Any helpful feedback is appreciated.

Official start time will be released on Monday morning (EST).

Blargh, Good thing this was put up. Now I gotta decide ANSI vs ISO.

My current take:

HHKB + ANSI
Standard + ISO

I just like symmetry when it comes to WKL or HHKB, and think ISO breaks up the standard look a little.

Yep it'll be there, it's a simple thing that I didn't think needed to be seen beforehand. Like I said i stripped this one down a lot, if you can handle the plate selection then the rest will be easy.

Ooohh Alps plates! Nice!
Hey weasto can you provide the various possible Alps layouts? Thanks.
For ex, I assume "Alps - Multistation' is something like this? ↓

(http://i.imgur.com/HMhUdnk.jpg)

And I also wonder, between these 2 layouts, which one is "Alps - ANSI Split Right Shift":

Alps Multistation is basically JIS layout, looks like this, but for the 00 plate we will use the normal split right shift setup not the stock inverted one.  So the 00 plate will have the 1U closest to the case wall: http://i.imgur.com/VPZzj1m.jpg

The picture you showed are multistation caps with some other supplemental caps (on E3E's Miramasa) but they are in an ANSI layout.

When I say split right shift it is only that, not the traditional HHKB layout with split backspace.  I personally think split backspace with Alps is more pain than it's worth because you pretty much never have a cap with a good legend for it and the rest of the top row caps are never really right either.  That is of course unless you own a lot of random sets and could piece something together, but I'd rather keep the options to standard backspace for Alps since it works for more people and helps keep me from drowning in options.

It would show your dedication to grabbing one. I'm kind of a fan of unknown launch. Especially since I'll be working. Means the window won't be instant. And if I run a minute or two late getting back to my desk I might get one.

It is true that people looking to spin for a profit will make time if the time is known, but probably won't spend all morning refreshing like someone looking for a dream board like me.

You have to realise that for some people in EU and Asia that’s odd hours for them, so they’re gonna just have to go with no sleep for the next day or take an entire day off just for this. I’ve got kids so I can’t commit to staying up all night, so it means I don’t have a shot at it anymore if it becomes an unknown launch time.

Please keep it at the current GB format for EU and Asia people :(

Not rushing you or anything, but since you're obviously here watching this thread, it would be nice if you have people an update.

IIRC, the time was supposed to be announced today AM. Just telling people that you'll announce it later or tomorrow AM would stop the unrest.

News flash. It's not Monday morning EST in the US yet.

I don't mind people wanting to know when the GB is, but it annoys me when people don't read the thread or think about people living elsewhere in the world. Sure you can't please everyones time zone but demanding updates for a day that isn't even here yet seems extreme. Lol.

Jeez, if you're so upset about a GB, don't buy and spend your money elsewhere. The entitlement is crazy. You want the board, adjust your schedule to get it, if it matters to you, if it doesn't, then don't but don't expect someone to bend for every single person because people will still complain.

It's why I buy mostly aftermarket, flip prices. Maybe I woke up from the wrong side of the bed today. I'm not entitled, promise. I'm only making sure that any claims to fairness are fair. Some GBs have been announced in a similar fashion, where even before the GB thread got updated, slots are already filled up because of discord.

I'm not in any discord servers except some with my friends, i'm not giving updates elsewhere.

Thanks for letting us know. This is greatly appreciated.

Fair enough, I think it was an overall view of the previous comments here. I genuinely do hope you get a chance of getting the board.

Thanks! I'm hopeful as well, though I've already prepared myself to pay aftermarket prices for this. I'm just happy that more will be in circulation after fulfillment happens for the GB.

True. But the form is multipage and complex enough boting is probably overkill and too much work. More than likely most people will try to grab 2, but that's also a lot of money up front for something that won't be in their hands for 2/3 months. Who knows. Guess we'll see.

Not rushing you or anything, but since you're obviously here watching this thread, it would be nice if you have people an update.

IIRC, the time was supposed to be announced today AM. Just telling people that you'll announce it later or tomorrow AM would stop the unrest.

In the OP for this thread I said I would announce on Monday morning EST.  It is currently Sunday night.
ah sorry, that's my bad then. I was under the impression that it would be today morning est, turns out that was for the practice Google form.

From what I read, there is no Alps plate layout option one could use IBM 5140 keycaps with. Besides the wkl 7u bottom row, you would need split backspace, split right shift and big ass enter but would be missing the split backspace cuts. Is that right?

Ok I guess that's a little restrictive for me. I prefer it to more upgradable or in case I messed up with the soldering.

5pm EST. Good Luck :thumb:

One last pricing update, the shipping price I quoted was only meant for 1 unit, so if you got 2 units you were meant to pay it twice. I very obviously forgot to mention that (the original GB was the same way) so if you get 2 it will only be $15 extra for the second board. Totally my bad forgetting to mention, lots of moving parts here. Hopefully not too horrible of news, good luck all.

Sorry to be that guy weaston but since it different on every GB form, I'd rather play dumb and ask the question: what is the policy on form edits? Should I submit as fast as possible or should I care about the boxes I'm ticking? Or asked more subtly, will you accept edits after the form closes, and will it change my position in the FCFS ranking?

Also, I really can not decide on what I want. What are you guys going for and why?

The shipping prices are a flat rate that you'll get charged on your invoice. No separate shipping invoices. Makes it easier for me so when I have boards in hand I don't have to wait for shipping payments and can ship as quick as I can.

Hey not sure if this was answered before but I see there was four colors in the practice form for the case but one of the options has:
Cerakote (any non-custom color): $50
So does this mean we can chose other colors like white? I dont recall being able to put anything like that in the practice form

Hey weaston - thanks again for doing this. Any chance you would consider releasing the plate files after the GB so we could get our own custom material plates done (I'd like cf personally)?

Many thanks!

I agree with this - there's always the option of allowing a second round of purchases if it doesn't reach 200 with 1 per person.

The unknown schedule nature of this gb makes it feel like a friends, family, and discord cool kids gb only.

I think calling it an “unknown schedule” might be a tad dramatic, it’s in the OP

You mean the "I'll announce it when I feel like it on the day itself" schedule? And probably in one of the kool kidz discord channels first before GH? Ok, cool!

I'm not in any discord servers except some with my friends, i'm not giving updates elsewhere.

I mean obviously that's gonna have to be re-done - plenty of people on GH are not in many (or any) discord servers, as well as not being able to communicate with others who may be able to invite them via other means.

Surely Weaston is not going to just go with a form released on a random discord server after a week/weeks of preparation and anticipation on geekhack specifically, so I don't think there is much reason for panic (though it sucks for people who were staying awake/waking up to fill it at 5 EST of course).

This makes very little sense to me - why would someone apologise for not planning for GH being down? If there's anything to apologise for in the instance that the form was indeed released and has now been closed it's for the absolute bait and switch that was the whole "I'm not in any discords apart from the ones with my friends, nothing to fear" turning into literally doing it on a random discord server just because Geekhack is down for 20 minutes.

It's easy to reschedule, but if the GB was indeed ran on discord I'm sure the people who got in through that would not be too happy if it did happen.

I wouldn't be surprised if Weaston couldn't even access his own thread to edit it. The website was 504/503'd for a solid 10 minutes for me.

he def couldn't access GH. He was trying for like 10 minutes while on discord. Ultimately decided to post the google form link in mechkeys.

The fairest option would be to just run a raffle for 250 units. The group buy was supposed to be EXCLUSIVE to this geek hack thread yet the link was released on discord without warning. Sadly no point in *****ing, nothing is ever fair in the world and people are never held to their word.

I hope other GB runners will learn from Weaston's monumental mistake here.

Locking this temporarily.

Talked to weaston and he will give a post soon, GH was indeed down due to all the traffic to the site. GB link was shared in the r/mk discord in the kb-kustoms section. Don't PM please!

weaston or other mods can unlock when needed.

GSKT-00 GB Update

I would like to apologize for the confusion and the chaos.  As I said before I wanted to have this GB here and I would like to be known as someone who sticks to my word.

I was unable to access GH starting at 4:25.  Nothing would load on any browser I had, I was going to post the link to the form and have the entries disabled until 5.  I kept refreshing and refreshing and nothing happened so I joined the mechkeys discord (which I have been in previously) and said I would post the form there.

I didn't want to postpone the buy because that felt unfair to people that were up outside their normal schedules to try to submit and I felt like there was good overlap between Geekhack users and Discord users.

So here's what's going to happen.

It would be unfair to cancel the orders of the people who already submitted albeit by my error in judgement, so i am keeping the first 200 boards from the Discord sale, but I am also going to post another form here and take the first 100 boards ordered.

The form will open at 5pm EST on January 22nd.  I will update here with a list of users who have a spot in the first 200 before the new form is live.  Anything I said on Discord about 250 units or anything else is nullified.  There will be 200 Discord units and 100 Geekhack units.

That way the people who already ordered will have their submissions respected and those people who were trying to submit on Geekhack will still have a large enough chance.

I am willing to take on the substantial increase in order size so I can make it more fair to everyone and also as an apology for the way it unfolded.  This will of course increase the lead time of the group buy by at least a month if not more, but it is something I am willing to do to make sure those people that were only on Geekhack had a chance, especially after me saying I would run it here only. 

I did mean to run it here only and did not factor in people flooding Geekhack over 30 minutes early stopping me from uploading the form.  I will upload the form a few minutes after this is posted and my inbox is open here and on Discord for any questions or concerns.

Thank you all.

Nothing about the first round was fair so who is to say that the second round will be any better. Regardless it is what it, just wait for the 22nd at 5pm and pray to your gods.

Understandable. I only got on the discord link by luck. Hopefully I'm in that first set, but if not I'll be trying again on this one. It's unfortunate GH couldn't handle the traffic. I get wanting to do it here instead. But I'm glad those that didn't even get to submit will have a second chance. Def need to post the form link an hour in advance and hope that's enough XD.

GSKT-00 GB Update

You were between a rock and a hard place and made a decision. The only thing that matters is how you ultimately decided to handle it once the dust settled. You could have wiped the discord orders clean or doubled down on them. I think both present problems once the initial decision to put it up on discord was made. On the spectrum of fairness, I think your decision runs closest to the most equitable.

Thank you all.

Nah, thank you for considering both sides before coming back with an answer. A lot of people would have probably doubled down once they decided.

Actually it would be fairer if it was 200 for GH and 100 for discord, since GH was the promised official channel.

Next time it’s better to reschedule (since that’s similar to what’s happening now anyway).

This is still good. Betting a big chunk of buyers are in it for flip profit. And now, we have 300 units entering the market.

We all make mistakes from time to time. I definitely agree that there were better alternatives to handle the issue but at least there was some reconciliation. I personally believe that Discord has made group buys worse. There are too many servers to keep track of and it seems that the updates are always scattered between sources.

Might have more to do with schedule. He probably wants to get this done and move on to the next thing. Every delay is additional time until final delivery. Considering the first round of gskt-00 weren't available for sale at all, I'm just happy some more made it into the wild. Even if I didn't get one.

Yeah. It's tough clearly GH doesn't have the bandwidth to handle popular traffic as well. And on Reddit it's easy to lose things or get things burried. Raffle is probably the best way to handle a limited GB, but nothing builds hype like a FCFS. The advantage of discord is just that it's built to handle high volume of traffic.

Haha. Too true. There was probably a slight sliver of panic mixed in. Shoot. I panicked when I realized GH was hosed. Lucked out and saw him post on the discord general that he'd post the link in the kustom channel at 5. Sadly when GH is down, there's no way to communicate with thread watchers anymore.

A schedule that can't absorb a small delay is a schedule that's destined to be reworked a hundred times.

I do hope everyone who wants one badly enough is able to get one, I only recently saw the IC for this and am curious if the gasket design is one that's going to stick.

Or it's just a small run schedule with open ended delivery. Which is what this is. I mean it's just a single man working with a manufacturer. Applying large scale business principals is folly. Not to mention getting manufacturing underway might have been the more pressing concern, possibly due to available windows, then actual delivery. Small custom batch manufacturing like this can be flexible but also personally constraining.

Developing schedules that can absorb some delay isn't exclusively a large scale business principle, it's just practical. I don't think this conversation needs to delve too deep into the manufacturing process and the associated logistics, it can be kept pretty high level.

A post delaying the GB start by 24 hours shouldn't be debilitating to a GB schedule (and wasn't a mistake made by OP as is apparent now).

I think OP is offering an agreeable solution for most, I just also think it's beneficial to get a better solution for next time. GH isn't going to get less busy and there aren't going to be fewer GB's (hopefully).

If I were him, I'd pick up my bags, get out of here, and stick to Discord in the future. Tons of designers have gone that route (without anyone knowing it). For non-keycap GBs, one-to-two-hundred loyal followers are more than enough.

He may not owe the community but he owes it to himself (if he cares, which I'd imagine he does from the way I've seen him conduct himself thus far) to remain trustworthy and professional now that he's took up a public GB. Many people take this hobby seriously - whether or not some take it too serious is up for debate, but with the amounts of money we've been seeing pumped into all sorts of buys of late (only going up) it's hard to fault most for just wanting basic quality of life/professionalism when dealing with a buy/seller; eg. not running a GB on discord after it's been said nothing will be done through discord.

Designers can do whatever they want, if they wanna sell boards just to their friends that's up to them. If they wanna run their stuff just through smaller communities on discords that's their prerogative. If the customer wants to pursue the product they'll find a way, as many have here. That is completely different from hyping up a board for weeks on one forum, reaffirm it will be run here exclusively, and then running it elsewhere instead of just waiting it out and then posting here accordingly and communicating with us as for how to proceed going forward. This is not to say I fault Weaston, GH going down is not his fault and I don't even blame him for panicking and releasing the form elsewhere but that doesn't invalidate the fact it was obviously not the best way to handle the situation.

TLDR: Despite not being owed anything, you can't fault people for wanting a certain level of professionalism to be upheld.

Go to the Docs link and search for your username there. If you find it, you're in the GB. If you're not in it, get ready for Wednesday.

with so much interest i think it'd make sense to let other vendor(s) run subsequent gb's for this board at a higher price, some of which can get passed along to op to ensure he is compensated for his design. i'm sure it's more complicated than that in reality, but it's a solution that i think would certainly satisfy all parties.

Totally agree with you, future.

Weaston is doing a big GB and he just can't give a shipping date out of thin air that fast. He is probably still going through invoicing yet alone talking with the factory about shipping dates. There's a lot that goes behind-the-scenes and saying "make 300 boards" just doesn't make factory go "oh, here's a shipping date". There's a bunch of options, figuring out lead times on materials etc. Please be passionate, people!

I never had plans to reduce the unit count per person. Like I said before there were quite a few people in the original buy that have multiples because you can build with such different setups. I can't police people selling a board aftermarket and who's to say that all the people that only wanted one unit aren't going to do it too? It also wouldn't be fair now to not provide the same chance here that others got.

The form will be the same as before, albeit with some slight changes to make sure no one can absolutely autofill it.

Board layout, ano colour, pcb 1 and 2 colour, then 4 pages for 4 plates both alps and MX, cerakote option text field, extra gasket and screw set options, "yes i agree to bow to thee" check mark, and then the most important page; trivia! gotta get this one right or else

All of the keyboard youtube influencers got it in a private buy, built it, and shilled it.

Combination of initial private group buy (low numbers), gasket mount (back when it was rare), half plate (rare), flex cut PCB (rare), and a cool name. Nowadays, these features are more common, so yeah...this board is mostly hype at this point.

Prophet looks cool. Pretty unique design. Definitely doesn't have the flex a gasket does, but the nylon plate looks like it definitely creates a very uniform typing experience.

Gasket in a board like this usually doesn't really add flex because it's compressed, unless you don't screw the case together all the way.

True. Was just pointing out the difference between prophet and gskt-00. I'm assuming people are here for the flex. Prophets flex comes solely from the flex cuts in the pcb and nylon plate (which flexes slightly on pin mounts, and across the surface of the whole board, hence the uniform feel). The flex here is clearly very different with the gaskets. Having major flex in the middle with slightly stiffer flex towards edges.

If you meant this board doesn't have flex, your sorely mistaken. There are cutouts and the gaskets aren't fully compressed. That's the whole point.

There might be some coming up. Right now there's none really in the pipeline. Polaris should start delivering after CNY, so mechmarket should have some people are getting rid of. I'm sure this won't be the last gasket we see before year's end.

I updated the OP and am posting it here too.

Here is the practice form for those who want to familiarize themselves with the basic options before the form opens tomorrow: https://forms.gle/iwEtyXgobrtZYiDY7

Again it does not contain all fields that the final form will, but is just to give you a chance to get familiar with the less straightforward parts of the form.

Let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

I will release the final list of options and usernames for people to confirm tomorrow after the form closes.

First page is your personal info, email user name etc. then it's a lot of multiple choice pages. Board layout, ano colour, pcb 1 and 2 colour, then 4 pages for 4 plates both alps and MX, cerakote option text field, extra gasket and screw set options, "yes i agree to bow to thee" check mark, and then the most important page; trivia! gotta get this one right or else

The form asks the cerakote option to be filled in like H[colour code] - [name of colour].

Since I'm probably not gonna be fast enough for tomorrow's form, any recommendations for other boards with similar levels of flex?

If you just want to test what flex feels like, a plateless build in a tray mount with the center stem removed will give you a sense of it. I've never type on a GSKT-00 so I don't know how it compares but there's definitely extreme levels of flex.

Keep in mind Lightning's flex test was done with an acrylic half plate, it varies a lot depending on full/half plate and material. My half alu has flex if I force it, but it doesn't move much when I'm casually typing like my Whale with a POM half plate does.

Oh this makes me sad as I went for a pom half plate not thinking there would be much difference between half alu and half pom in term of flex but pom would provide a better sound profile. Hopefully the plate file will be released so I can get another plate cut if necessary.

I ended up swapping my aluminum half plate for a POM half plate. I never tried them side by side since i just swapped plates for the build, but I agree with pr0x that aluminum is slightly stiffer. The sound profile for POM is a bit more uniform as an aluminum half gives the perimeter keys more of a clack to them.  In the end I prefer POM, but it all comes down to preference.

It's not new. HHKB has been praised for its flex for years. A good amount of older kustoms were meant to flex also. It's just a hype cycle; we are out of the "t h i c c" meme and back in for the flex. And in the end the two are great, it's just different feelings.

Post by: DALExSNAIL on Wed, 22 January 2020, 12:23:41
Honestly I feel flex is more the opposite of "unexplored", if anything "revisited" is a more appropriate term. Hell even the recent gasket mounting surge (read as "flood that will over-saturate the market until fomo dies down"), is just a revisit of an already existing idea.

Influencers are shilling both ideas because they're good options for sound and feel, and have been since they were first introduced.

Just be happy you don't have to spend 1K+ for gasket mounting and relief cuts on boards that have mediocre ano and elitist owners with a death grip on 'never-going-to-be-built' kits anymore.

The whole point of this hobby is that we cannot find the keyboard we want on the mass market so we attempt to "make" a custome one as close to our personal ideals as possible.
Why does it annoy you at all that other people prefer flex instead of stiff typing feeling?

Alright, I didn't say anything rude, I didn't say it was bad or good, I just asked what does it bring to a keyboard, thankfully some other guys replied that it can better ergonomics wise, and it can be better for long typing sessions. I thank them btw. Why would u call me boomer and why do u say it annoys me ? What hurt you in my comment, I really have no clue...
Anyway, have a good day.

What's up with all the hype about flex keyboards ? Someone can tell me what is cool about that ? As I've never got into that, I really have no clue what is great about it, I prefer when it's stiff, but as I said earlier, I've never tried half-plate and gasket boards.

Btw if someone knows how will be the google form or has a picture about the form so I can be ready for later.
The whole point of this hobby is that we cannot find the keyboard we want on the mass market so we attempt to "make" a custome one as close to our personal ideals as possible.
Why does it annoy you at all that other people prefer flex instead of stiff typing feeling?

Very correct indeed. We have all kinds of boards in the custom market because of hype and looks but at the end of the day we're using keyboards as a tool and we're just "hunting" for one that is the most enjoyable for each of us. I'm fine with what I use and what I enjoy but I'm still open to try new configurations.

It's preference.  If the softer bottom out of the GSKT is less tiring for someone to type on than a tray mount with a steel plate, then the GSKT is more ergonomic for them than the tray mount.

Who knows, they might actually have weaker fingers, haha. Personally I've never felt fatigue, but I also take breaks. I guess if I was forced to type non-stop for 8 hours I'd probably feel the burn, lol.

I would like to thank you for reconsidering opening the link to the GH community. I believe that this is the best compromise you could make given the circumstances. I would also like to apologize for all of the hate going around the initial launch and hope that this re-opening stops that from coming your way.

Really hoping I can get in on this!

Sorry to hear that man, that's unfortunate. Hope you still were able to join! I'm pretty sure the last question has no correct answer, it was just to mess up anyone who tried using a bot to fill out the form, so don't worry whether you were right or not.

the OWL clearly said " Ah 1, ah 2, ah 3, ah 3." So it takes 3 according to the owl lmfao. that's what I put :D

The narrator also clearly said, "The world may never know" so an earlier comment saying that might actually be the right answer! Hahaha

In my mind the answer is 3, but the trivia didn't matter, was just to try to deter any automated fill outs.

me Googling for the answer probably cost me my spot  :eek:

I actually didn't mind the anodization that much.  It was the GMK Stryker that clashed for me.  That board needed Laser.

Thank you for linking the sheet again.  The sheet is now updated with the winners from today (1/22).  I will start compiling orders and try to get up a list for people to confirm as soon as I can, might take a day or two because of the volume.

As for the break down of single vs double boards, 76% of people only got one board.

Invoicing will start after all orders are confirmed, again expect a few days of those getting sent out, lots of people.

Thanks all, sorry about the form being a little late, google was even slow for me.

Looking forward to everyone getting their 00 :thumb:

I think it's an easy 2-3x flip because the base price was so low.

That said, that would be stupid because the main draw of this board is that it's affordable. It doesn't do anything that hasn't been done to death now.

1. Fair point, I will consider something less prone to problems with high traffic in the future.
2. This is not a basic thing, this is a thing I would want out of most GBs.  I like to build the same board multiple ways and have extra setups for almost everything I own, if I could have gotten extra units as part of the GB then I would have.  I wasn't going to restrict units to 1 per person just because people have a fear of flipper culture in the community.  Some people who got in right now for only one could sell it the second they get it for some higher price.  I can't police being afraid of flipping and I personally like having multiples.
3. Fair point for the first part.  The idea that only "influencers" own the original 00s is simply not true.  In fact, most of them were just my friends or acquaintances before I ever even thought of running a small buy for it.  Some of them went on to do bigger or better things than they were doing way back when, but in no way were they targeted high clout people.  There was no marketing stunt to try to increase hype by keeping it small, I just wanted to make a board for friends.  I'd love to be able to take credit for some masterful hype scheme but I can't.
4. It was a fair critique.

Shout out to Weaston for making the best out of this whole GB situation and letting another 100 boards in knowing the extra work that'll have to be put in. Hindsight is 20/20 and people are always going to criticize what you did and didn't do but I felt you did what you could given the circumstances.

Number 1 doesn't make much sense for FCFS format GB.  If the exact time is not announced, wouldn't that mean interested buyer would have to constantly refresh the site/form to find out when it goes live, causing the site to crash even faster?

Instead of a unit count, having a spot count that accounts for someone ordering two would match a GB FCFS format closer, IMO. 150 spots where each person could order 2, then if you wanted to hit that 300 (assuming not everyone wants 2) you could raffle the remaining x units out.

Idk **** about this stuff though so just talking out my ass. An idea for future single form, multi-unit, GB. May cause a few less people to get salty.

I genuinely like this idea. Hopefully others can implement a system like this so FCFS people are happy and a raffle satisfies the greatest number of people possible. Salt will always come with something like this, I myself being guilty after the Discord run.
I appreciate what Weaston has done and hope this doesn't put a terrible taste in his mouth for a potential R3.

funny how artisan makers have zero problem with this

you could always raffle for spots only and mail out a form to winners to fill in options later? like 90% of board raffles out there

One of the main strengths of the board is that it's minimal and (relatively) cheap - I was going to say say it'd be surprising to see many of them be flipped but considering the fact that people love wasting money it's bound to happen regardless.

This is not a basic thing, this is a thing I would want out of most GBs.  I like to build the same board multiple ways and have extra setups for almost everything I own, if I could have gotten extra units as part of the GB then I would have.  I wasn't going to restrict units to 1 per person just because people have a fear of flipper culture in the community.  Some people who got in right now for only one could sell it the second they get it for some higher price.  I can't police being afraid of flipping and I personally like having multiples.
3. Fair point for the first part.  The idea that only "influencers" own the original 00s is simply not true.  In fact, most of them were just my friends or acquaintances before I ever even thought of running a small buy for it.  Some of them went on to do bigger or better things than they were doing way back when, but in no way were they targeted high clout people.  There was no marketing stunt to try to increase hype by keeping it small, I just wanted to make a board for friends.  I'd love to be able to take credit for some masterful hype scheme but I can't.
4. It was a fair critique.

Can confirm number 3. I'm a no one in the community but I'm friends with Weaston so I have an original run 00.

I'm sure this is gonna cause the hate to rain down upon me, but I got 2 boards. But I want to do two builds (wkl and std) to fulfill my years goal of 3 60s. Shoot I would have got 3 if I could have, but will look elsewhere for my hhkb build. Plan on using both, switching out PCBs/switches/plates on the fly. Expect these to be my daily drivers for the foreseeable future (I won't be leaving home without one). And regardless of increased count, or increased spots, etc. there were always going to be people who missed out. That's just the way these things go. And increasing the GB size to greater numbers can be a ridiculous thing to manage for these releases.

So it's not just all flippers, there's valid reasons people could want 2. I get why weaston would allow that. It's always going to be rough, and I was disappointed I didn't get in on the first round, but I didn't blame the people who got 2. If I'd missed the second, there is still a full year of GBs ahead of us (probably loaded with gasket 60s), so plenty of other adrenaline inducing rushes to buy, haha. I already had other backup options in the pipeline.

That said, thanks weaston for giving us this opportunity. Can't wait to let the combos flow.

Its probably safe to say that group buys like this are done out of respect/appreciation for the community rather than profit. The logistical nightmare of working with both suppliers and customers throughout this process, from design to final shipment, far outweighs the marginal profit I'd HOPE weaston is able to take for himself for all the work.

Give me a break.

Why do we even have to compare or contrast the two? Making money and chasing fame aren't crimes, and organizing any groupbuy is work, no matter how small or large it is. You can try to make a buck, get prestige, and give to the community all at once. They aren't exclusive to each other.

Groupbuys like this are done for money. They are also done to get a name. They are also done to get nice boards in the hands of enthusiasts.

I don't think there is anything wrong with doing things for the money.

To think he is doing this GB out of the goodness of his heart and nothing more is just silly.

I have no idea of his margins for this project, but, at a minimum, he will boost his recognition for subsequent projects.

I've gotten CNC quotes and, at the price that he's selling for, the profit margin is going to be thin, but it's also not nothing.

Just an idea. Instead of doing FCFS which is pretty rough for some people; personnally i was REALLY stressed when i filled everything, tried to be as fast as i could.
But why not just open for 5 minutes like some artisan makers do and Raffle in this window? It's a bit more random YES but it may be more fair for everyone (if there is no dibs or cherrypicking).

I'd prefer this format personnaly. But as long as not everyone win there will still be salt in the GB.

FCFS keeps people from claiming its rigged. People who lose raffles blame the runner for rigging the draw. People who lose FCFS blame the system.

Well sure, but thats probably more work than a runner wants to do. I'm not saying they shouldn't do that. I'm just saying that FCFS is very minimal effort for a runner. It's not about being fair, its about seeming fair. We don't even know if the list created from the fcfs was done so without bias. We don't have timestamps, or a list of losers and their timings. We only have a list of people getting the board. Nobody questions that, but they WILL question a raffle without a streamed drawing

I'm not particularly good at FCFS even (didn't win here eg.) and I still think it's way better and fairer than raffling stuff off - at least when the amount of units is fairly high. I can see raffles working well for artisans that do runs of like 5 caps with 15000 entries, but in most board FCFS it tends to reward those who are dedicated and interested enough.

This is a pretty bad example regardless because of the fact that the google form was down and the spam refreshing being staggered ruined some people's chances but when the form stays, I think it's generally the way to go.

I really don't get why people are so caught up with potential "flipping" for this board.

First of all, there were more than 250 individuals interested in this board -- that is a fact.

If each person were to get only one board, it is almost guaranteed that the flip market would have FEWER boards and thus result in higher aftermarket prices. After all, some people just want the board because they actually want it.

Since people were allowed to buy 2 boards each, mechmarket will have many more boards up for sale (yes, from flippers), but the price would be LOWER since there would be more boards that people are trying to sell!

So, to those who are bummed they missed out and salty that people could purchase 2 boards each, at least you will be able to get them on mechmarket for a lower price than if you missed the group buy and units were limited to just one per person. And of course, you'd have a higher chance of getting a board from mechmarket too since there would be more boards purchased for the intention of flipping. More boards to flip = more boards available ASAP on mechmarket = higher chance you can find a board if you didn't get in the first 2 rounds.

Remember that just in the first few minutes of original form going up, more than 300 responses were submitted. As with the nature of group buys, lots of people will miss out. Let's say theoretically the board was limited to 1 per person. Chances are, you'd probably be unable to get a board either. There would be only 70 extra spots, and given the massive hype for this board, 70 is not all that much. For those who did miss out, you'd be paying higher prices aftermarket for this board (if it were limited to 1 per person) than if it were limited to up to 2 units per person. So y'all, look on the bright side.

It's a tale as old as time. People will bash on flipping and flippers for eternity. Don't try to bring logic into the argument. It only increases the screeching from both sides.

The issues of GH and Google being unable to handle traffic aside...
Would a Vickrey auction really be practical for a groupbuy with this kind of unit count? It definitely has its benefits for smaller batches for sure, (and this is hypothetical) but I think for a groupbuy with 200+ units I think it might end up hurting people who were looking to get a really nice board at a more affordable pricepoint. (i.e. they get priced out even when the board would have retailed for $250ish)

When we're talking about $500-800 Keycults, sure. I can definitely see how the Vickrey auction model is more beneficial. A mixed approach seems to work for Keycult as well, but I don't think a Vickrey auction is the be-all-end-all solution.

Agreed. A vickrey auction wouldn't have been good. And I'm not against flipping at all. Flipping is great for those who missed out on a groupbuy. But when you have a lot of people attempting to get a limited stock its balls. Now people are going to have to pay ~$400-$500 (guessing here) for a board that would have cost 250. I can understand getting a few extra Polaris boards or the upcoming Prophet board because they are unlimited gb but not a 200 unit limited run.

Honestly the practice form, the first actual form, and a friend recreating what we remember of the first form to practice is how I managed getting in on time for the second most likely. That and people on this thread recommending to hotkey the common inputs like email, name, username, etc. Had honestly never done that before, but now it's there for future FCFS. The effort seems ridiculous maybe, but I'm excited anyway. Haha

It's now got me considering adding a hot key layer just for common fields for forms I fill out at work.

And that's the real kicker. I had to do this at work, with my older MBP with crappy butterfly switches (my beater work tofu was at my desk), and with a chrome managed by my company with chrome autofill for even basic things like email permanently turned off, in the middle of testing software we delivered this weekend. And setting up hotkeys on a MBP is a lengthy process of appscript and permissions. My coworkers we're def like, what are you doing ???.

For real though, I attribute me getting in this time on the second run partly because I saw that post giving us those tips. The one about zooming out so that there was less scrolling was actually big brain. After I filled in the first plate options I zoomed out completely because I just had to hit none for the rest. Shout out that dude.

First page is your personal info, email user name etc. then it's a lot of multiple choice pages. Board layout, ano colour, pcb 1 and 2 colour, then 4 pages for 4 plates both alps and MX, cerakote option text field, extra gasket and screw set options, "yes i agree to bow to thee" check mark, and then the most important page; trivia! gotta get this one right or else

Also, side note, weaston already said he will be switching things up a bit so this info will probably be outdated.

Also also, it's common speedrunner tradition to not hold secret strats so I will give you an extra tip. Zoom out on the page to have more info on the screen at once. Less scrolling, more time save!

And if you think I am leaking important info that will mess with the competition you can go and sh

Thanks, yo. This is what I was wondering just like a gist of what to expect.
Idk what keyboards you use, but I have a layer on a QMK board that outputs strings such as my paypal email, GH username, etc. I suggest getting that setup. Wouldn't hurt to set up addresses too, but I doubt you would need that for this form

This post and the one that is being quoted is the one that really helped me. Hope it finds you some success in future boards. (Also sorry if this is an incorrect way to reply to the guy above, I'm still new to Geekhack posts and comments)

I was working through some google issues so you might have received a few emails and some of the sheets might be dead so sorry for the extra emails and thanks for bearing with me.

I have sent an email with a sheet containing the order number and the associated username to all the people I have emails for.  If you did not receive an email with the order number sheet then I do not have a correct email for you so please make sure to pm me so we can fix that.  You will still be able to view that sheet if someone sends you a link, so please take the time to make sure you personally received an email with it, otherwise like I said your email needs to be fixed.

Here is a link to a sheet with all order numbers and options.  As changes happen they will reflect on the sheet so make sure to keep checking back after I have said that I adjust your order: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/2/d/e/2PACX-1vRLejPDSIHsqjFcKOUVX6FZ2zLQnlj2-OIckvNC3iRKImaBA0kIa1XRI-EWQGybS8AOizBPLgyG1SM_/pubhtml?gid=0&single=true

Instructions for modifying your order, including what changes are allowed are outlined in the sheet.

My inbox is open here and on Discord, so feel free to send me a message.  Let me know if there are any questions/concerns.  Thank you all.

Edits are accepted until Monday January 27th at 5pm EST.  After that I will start sending invoices.

(Again there was another sheet I accidentally sent out, which was inaccurate, so please only reference the one above.  Thanks.)

For mailing i'd recommend to use a service like Mailchimp which has a free offer for the size of the GB: https://mailchimp.com/

It would be easier for you to handle all the updates and so on.

No, it just comes with a tube of silicone caulk that you need to put between the plate and the PCB.

Some people seem to have responded with wanting an extra plate/plate layout, but not selecting a plate option, or selecting they don't want a plate but then selecting a plate option.

Eg. No to Alps 2 but chose Polycarbonate

Yeah i'll be cleaning that up as I go through and edit. I thought I got them all already but seems not, no biggie.

In response to earlier, yes each case comes with 1 gasket and 1 set of screws.

Made the full/half difference more apparent through the colors

Some other data points on the orders after cleaning up some of the entries when it was released on Friday:

- Total of 447 plates
- 217 are full (48.55%), 214 are half (47.84%)
- 224 are alu (50.11%), 102 are PC (22.82%), 97 POM (21.70%), 18 Steel (4.02%), 6 Acrylic (1.34%)
- 77 people got just 1 plate; 92 got 2, 24 got 3, 27 got 4, 1 person got 6, and 5 people have no plates (at least one of these people put partial/incomplete answers for plate options)

I ignored the Alps entries where a layout or full/half wasn't specified.

I've gotten through about half of the change requests.  If I changed it then I responded, so if you have not received a response then you have not had your order updated yet.  Even if I did respond please check the public order sheet and double check, it's entirely possible I messed up or missed something so let me know if I did. 

Remember requests for edits end tomorrow at 5pm so get them in before then.

You have an article on this? I know a lot of tourist destinations, shops and restaurants have closed. But I didn't see anything about factories yet.

This is all I got on this topic.

Damn. Crazy.

I don't mind waiting. Hopefully everyone over there is safe.

I believe weaston is giving 2 weeks to pay the invoice so there may not be much delay unless there’s a wait to get into a production queue with the manufacturer.

Yeah. That's what I was thinking though. 2 weeks delay usually doesn't just mean 2 weeks product delay. Factories in China will reshuffle their priorities, etc. Some stuff will get canceled. We'll just have to see.

I'm fine with it honestly. Hope they get through this hard time.

Yeah true. I wonder if the lunar new year shutdowns already occurred? The new year was the 25th but not sure of typical closing schedule for the holiday.

Did not have time to get to edits yesterday so the last wave of edits happen today then we're on to invoicing. I'd like to have all the invoices out by Sunday so we'll shoot for that.

Yes even with the shutdown i'm going to collect payment for the GB so we're ready when they come back. My fab doesn't come back from New Year holiday until next Monday so once they're back hopefully we'll get a better idea of when they're back open and operational.

All changes should have been made.  I would wait another hour for Google to show it all.  If something is still messed up because I did it wrong then let me know, but there are no more changes being accepted.

Link again for the curious: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vRLejPDSIHsqjFcKOUVX6FZ2zLQnlj2-OIckvNC3iRKImaBA0kIa1XRI-EWQGybS8AOizBPLgyG1SM_/pubhtml

I am starting to send out invoices.

They will not go out all at once, they will go out as I create them.  Might take me like 2-3 days to get to them all but they will be sent out. 

Please do not pm me saying you have not received an invoice yet if I have not said that they are all sent out. 

If something on your order is still wrong and my fault then let me know and I will edit it, but this does not mean changes, this means pre-existing message history and me not having made a change.  I am 99% sure that everything is updated so just saying that as a warning.

You'll have 2 weeks to pay from the day the last one goes out so that it's fair to everyone.  Like I said should be 2-3 days from now worst case and I'll be done sending them.

Thank you all.

Edit: All good, they're getting sent. 

A note about non-aluminum plates, because of how my invoicing system is working this time around it may show a different color variant for the non-aluminum plates like POM that only had one variant, don't worry about that, it's just for me to keep track of plates easier, they are still the colors that have been previously decided on.  Thanks.

Alright I did another big wave today.  There are only 12 left so I'll get to those in the morning.  There are a few people than pmed me about mistakes on their invoices so if you didn't double check please do.  I'll be fixing those few invoices and sending the rest tomorrow.  Thanks for bearing with me while I got this all sorted.

Since tomorrow will be the last day of invoices, that makes February 21st the final day for payment.  If you haven't paid by then your order will be cancelled and you'll have to try for some small possible amount of extras if there are any after all is said and done.  If there are too many unpaid invoices then we'll have to do a small and fast raffle or something for the remaining spots.  I really don't want to drag this out past the 21st so please get those invoices paid, thank you.

To reiterate, last day for payment is the 21st.  If all invoices are paid before then, then we can submit earlier. 

I'll update the Title and OP tomorrow after this last bit of invoice housekeeping is taken care of.

Thanks all :thumb:

Small update about payments.

It looks like about 200 invoices have been paid which is great.  If yours is outstanding please remember to pay by this Friday (2/21).  I have been working with a few people on payment issues and changes of address so please don't hesitate to reach out if you need something from me before paying.

I am waiting on a reply from my factory about when they are opening back up so please bear with me while we wait on that.  Thanks all, looking to get this all submitted as soon as they're ready :thumb:

Any idea if the plate files will be released down the road? I couldn't justify getting an alps plate during the group buy, but I'd love the option later on.

I actually just got my hands on some alps orange, so I'm interested in this too! I would 100% buy an alps plate if any extras go up or something.

From reading OP, unpaid invoices would mean your spot goes to the next person in line. So all 200 boards will be made.

They are!  I submitted the prelim order today after a lot of sorting and finalizing and they'll get back to me in a few days (probably even a week tbh) with the finalized order and then they'll collect payment.  The order has so many parts so I'm expecting it takes a few days for them to get through it all and get back to me.

With the current situation, I think we all expect delays. Originally there was a 90 day estimate. I imagine that this went up with the larger than expected order size and the many other issues our world is currently facing. I think we'd just like to know when that 90 day (likely, much, longer) timer will start. Thanks a bunch!

The GSKT-00 will be manufactured when it's manufactured. Weaston said that he will provide updates when he has any to give. Making dumb comments on this thread isn't going to speed up the process.

I mean when you release the order form on discord and/or reddit you really should be ready for those kinds of comments, much more so than usual. I'm sure they're the first of many, and I assume Weaston knows what he's in for.

People are asking for updates because Weaston said the factory will respond in a week and it has been 3 weeks. Its not about being impatient, i believe that factory accepting the payment is an important update. I'll happily wait over 6 months for my g00sket and im sure most ppl can wait too.

Sorry the whole corona situation made me forget to post an update.  The order was submitted late last week.  Quoted manufacturing time was 75 business days, which comes out to 15 weeks from now.  So we're looking at around the end of July for manufacturing being done, but I would guess it would get closer into August.  That puts us on target to ship roughly by the end of summer.  Of course don't take those dates as absolutes, timelines can always change, but I'll do my best to keep it on track.

Now we wait  :thumb:

Hi weaston! Thanks for the update!!! A little confused, 75 days is about 11 weeks, not 15. 75 days from today would be June 9. So is your calculation of end of July adding shipping time? Happy to wait whatever duration it takes, just want to make sure you didn't mistype something.

75 Business Days, not including weekends, among any potential business holidays. That means only 5 working days per week.

"As far as what to expect out of me for updates, I will not update with any information unless something is happening.  Meaning when boards ship to me, pcbs ship, we get components, etc then there will be an update.  Otherwise, I will not have anything to say.  Having weekly updates that are nothing more than me saying "still waiting" are not useful and will be forgone."

The GB post for this says that this is the "first in the GSKT series," so it's reasonable to think that there is a possibility of either other boards in the GSKT line or iterations on this board.

Hey all, time for an update!

Manufacturing was scheduled to be done right around this week, but the manufacturer just got back to me last night and need about 2-3 weeks more time.  They said they were having some difficulty making sure the gray anodizing was matching and consistent so they are re-machining about 40 gray units. (this does not mean they will be sending me 40 extra inconsistent units as extras afaik)

As for acquiring other parts, we're still about a month away from receiving pcbs but I have been acquiring boxes and other packing materials.  I will be ordering screws/bumpons/gaskets this coming week more than likely as the turnarounds are much quicker.

One thing to be said is there may be some strangeness with shipping.  I was planning on shipping USPS but because of everything happening with them right now I will probably have to use another provider for these boards.  I will try to find an option that is at the same cost I initially quoted out, and will keep everyone updated on that front.

TLDR: Another 2-3 weeks machining because gray anodizing has been difficult to match, otherwise mostly on track.

Thank you for your patience  :thumb:

Thanks for the update. As for the shipping, I would like to pay extra for DHL Express or UPS Express if those options are available. Any package sent with a normal shipping option currently spends up to 1.5 months in German customs and I'd like to avoid that for a board like this.

Hey all, time for an update!

Manufacturing was scheduled to be done right around this week, but the manufacturer just got back to me last night and need about 2-3 weeks more time.  They said they were having some difficulty making sure the gray anodizing was matching and consistent so they are re-machining about 40 gray units. (this does not mean they will be sending me 40 extra inconsistent units as extras afaik)

As for acquiring other parts, we're still about a month away from receiving pcbs but I have been acquiring boxes and other packing materials.  I will be ordering screws/bumpons/gaskets this coming week more than likely as the turnarounds are much quicker.

One thing to be said is there may be some strangeness with shipping.  I was planning on shipping USPS but because of everything happening with them right now I will probably have to use another provider for these boards.  I will try to find an option that is at the same cost I initially quoted out, and will keep everyone updated on that front.

TLDR: Another 2-3 weeks machining because gray anodizing has been difficult to match, otherwise mostly on track.

Thank you for your patience  :thumb:

Also down to pay for DHL Express. They've been very consistent in these times.

Awesome and thanks for the update. If my address has changed (updated on PayPal however), do you need the new information sent to you in some means or will you be okay since PayPal info was updated?

This. I've had lousy experiences with USPS for international shipments even prior to this and would absolutely be willing to pay extra for DHL Express as they've been the most reliable for me both in terms of shipment and in customs collection. That being said, thanks for the promising update!

I can see you running into issues with C3 stabs because the tolerances on those are too big, but with cherry ones, you can probably get away with it.

I would be pretty surprised if Weaston didn't order any extras, but given the hype surrounding this board even before the keeb hype train of 2020 hit hard, I suspect it will be pretty difficult to get one.

Generally extras are ordered in the event that some units fail QC, no? Is that not standard operating procedure?

Update is in fact avail boys.

Paid for the boards last night actually, so they should be shipping soon.  Pray to your preferred gods that they don't have any problems in transit.

As for extras, I ordered a few yes, but not enough to have a large extra sale or anything, mostly just to keep a few on hand to make sure everyone is satisfied once they have them in hand.

Also any QC issues will be worked directly with the factory and replacements will be issued before anything ever ships out, and that doesn't really count as the extras.  The few extras are more of like a just in case.

Now for the not great news, which is the PCB delay.  Because of a few factors, the PCB production has been delayed quite a bit and probably won't be finished till after the new year.  But the fab has been paid so no worries there, just making sure the files are right for how they want them proved a bit difficult in addition to some other things.  So yeah probably won't be finished with PCBs till at least the new year conservatively.

So that means the boards should be shipping to you guys some time in Q1 of 2021 (hopefully but of course no promises, things can always happen and things can change), but I am hopeful for everything being done in that time.

I will be starting QC and working through any potential issues once the boards show up hopefully in the next few weeks, so I mean honestly with the amount of QC to do it would probably take until January anyway since I would be doing it all after work, so the pcb delay isn't all that crazy to digest, I think it will end up being around when the cases would be ready to go anyway.

So yeah that's where we are, probably not shipping till Q1 because of PCBs and the need to do QC but boards are paid for and coming soon and I'll take some pictures so you guys can see the mess that my spare bedroom will be for the holiday season.

Thanks for bearing with me through it and anyone who has emailed or messaged about address changes, don't worry I have seen it and will respond eventually.

No the board manufacturer does not do the cerakoting, I work with someone local to me.  Yes you're right those units may take some more time to get done, so I suppose I should start qc on the silver units first and get that boll rolling.  The turnaround time on those should still be within what I already mentioned I would think.  But yeah definitely something else to consider as far as all the moving parts.

You guys know if the Alps ABS plate weaston sourced were in fact 1.2mm, or were maybe thinner, say, ~1.0mm? I ask because I can't seem to find a plate cutting service who can do plastic at 1.2mm.

Edit: looks like (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=104130.msg2851214#msg2851214) there were no ABS plates for the official GB, as weaston could only get ABS plates @ 1.5mm. I think this is why, in Taeha Types's GSKT-00 build video, he mentioned that the switches didn't really stay in place that well: it was because @ 1.5mm thickness, Alps switches don't really lock in; the four little switch "wings" are just flexed back to accommodate that weird in-between switch position in the plate.

Update time fellas

00 cases and plates were all delivered over the last few days so I'll start slowly QCing them and taking care of anything that needs fixing with that.  Will be taking the units to be cerakoted to my guy sometime soon to get those started as well.  So if you were on the fence about your color please let me know asap.  I will also go through and finally respond to all the address changes and make necessary updates there as well.  Still waiting on PCBs to finish but we have some samples coming soon so hopefully that will all be sorted by the time these are all ready to ship.

For now enjoy the promised picture of my spare bedroom, now keyboard cave, and have a happy holidays.

00 cases and plates were all delivered over the last few days so I'll start slowly QCing them and taking care of anything that needs fixing with that.  Will be taking the units to be cerakoted to my guy sometime soon to get those started as well.  So if you were on the fence about your color please let me know asap.  I will also go through and finally respond to all the address changes and make necessary updates there as well.  Still waiting on PCBs to finish but we have some samples coming soon so hopefully that will all be sorted by the time these are all ready to ship.

For now enjoy the promised picture of my spare bedroom, now keyboard cave, and have a happy holidays.

He hasn't replied to my message on GH either. Guessing he hasn't gone through them all yet, but I do hope he sees my message before the boards go off to cerakoting as I sent him a message regarding that about two months ago.

Please let us know when the boards will go off to cerakoting so we can make sure you see our message before it is too late? Thanks, weaston!

Update Time

I have been qc-ing and everything looks really nice.  The only thing worth mentioning is that a lot of the units have some slight discoloration around the screw holes on the inside of the boards (especially on tops).  This is more or less inevitable and is small and does not affect the outside look/fitment/otherwise so I'm just giving you all a heads up.

PCBs are nearing the final checks and should be shipping soon.  We had and tested a proto from the fab and we are just double checking everything now before those are finished and shipped.

Cerakote has not started yet since I was a bit more worried about getting the pcbs in.  Will be taking those this month hopefully.

Now for the ****e, not so cool, update.  Since I am an idiot (sometimes), the files I sent to the fab for this production run did not have the bumpon cuts on the bottom case that I mentioned in the IC that I added for this run.  I apologize to all of you for the mishap on my part, totally my fault.  So, since they don't have any bumpon cuts, I'll be providing strips of silicone for you to put on the bottom as you wish.  This is actually what all the original units had as well and it does not affect usability or anything (I think it sounds a little nicer personally).  So yeah, totally my fault there and I am sorry for it, but you'll still have something to stick on the bottom.

As for address updates, I have not gotten to a lot of them.  But don't worry, I am not shipping anything until they are all taken care of.

You guys know if the Alps ABS plate weaston sourced were in fact 1.2mm, or were maybe thinner, say, ~1.0mm? I ask because I can't seem to find a plate cutting service who can do plastic at 1.2mm.

Edit: looks like (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=104130.msg2851214#msg2851214) there were no ABS plates for the official GB, as weaston could only get ABS plates @ 1.5mm. I think this is why, in Taeha Types's GSKT-00 build video, he mentioned that the switches didn't really stay in place that well: it was because @ 1.5mm thickness, Alps switches don't really lock in; the four little switch "wings" are just flexed back to accommodate that weird in-between switch position in the plate.

Correct ABS plates were not of a reliable thickness for alps from the fab I used to use for them.  That being said, the alps plates I ordered this round I ordered from my main fab and they clip wonderfully.  Of course no ABS but the plates are all really nice and of proper thickness (1.2mm).

I'm willing to trust that all the boards will be shipped, but this was my concern as well. I moved during the GB period, and I reached out requesting a shipping address change by both email and Geekhack PM. I didn't get a response, which makes me a bit nervous that my request(s) got lost and will not be honored... which would mean that my keyboard gets sent to an address that I don't live at anymore, hundreds of miles away.

He has stated multiple times that he will get to those pms with address changes. I presume the reason he hasn’t gotten to em is because he isn’t shipping yet.

Exactly. Bumping isn’t working. Obviously. Best we can all do is just wait. You’d think people in this hobby would understand waiting is 98% of the deal.

Guys relax, Weaston personally mined the aluminum ore to make the keyboards that's why it is taking over a year. Hand mined by designer = flip for bigger profit. Oh and of course he cannot reply to your change of address emails, the guy has been very busy and mining is a very tiring job.    /s

Yo long overdue update time!

I was waiting until the pcbs got to me before I said anything because I didn't want to make another update of "just waiting" basically.  So pcbs have arrived and I am in the process of unpacking and sorting them all.  Which means I can finally start shipping soon!

As for cerakoting, it has been hard to coordinate with my guy because of covid but they will 100% be getting cerakoted by next month and shouldn't take long, so the cerakote units will probably be among the last to ship.

As for address changes.  There have been many people that have sent me multiple changes, and because of that, I have been waiting to take care of them all when I was actually ready to ship rather than do it way ahead of time and have to do multiples for the same order.  So you'll start seeing responses back from me about those very soon as well.  Rest assured if you sent a message about an address change it will be taken care of.

I'd also like to apologize for the wait time because of the pcbs.  There were some miscommunications on both sides as we had not worked on an order this large with the manufacturer we used and it just took too long in general so I'm sorry for that.  I understand the frustration, I've been part of group buys before too and know how it feels when things get delayed, but it's just part of the risk of it all I suppose.  At least you guys will soon be getting your boards!

And finally here are some pictures of the new pcbs :thumb:

That is, in fact, what you agreed to when you joined this GB. So yes, that is how this works.

As far as what to expect out of me for updates, I will not update with any information unless something is happening.  Meaning when boards ship to me, pcbs ship, we get components, etc then there will be an update.  Otherwise, I will not have anything to say.  Having weekly updates that are nothing more than me saying "still waiting" are not useful and will be forgone.

Title: Re: [GB] GSKT-00 (QC-ing, sorting)
Post by: Fnzzy on Sun, 30 May 2021, 18:20:22
I am probably throwing what little GH rep I had into the bin with this.

I don't think any of us is pretending that this group buy is running smoothly. Not only have I gotten quicker replies from group buy runners from China who barely spoke any English and had very limited access to Discord (according to them the application was blocked completely), but I have gotten a product from a group buy within the promised time frame that had no communication at all.

Not only has Weaston produced the wrong keyboard file (remember that?), he also didn't take the 4 months it's taken to receive the PCBs to start cerakoating. And seeing how the boards still aren't shipped over a month after getting the PCBs I can only assume he also didn't use the time to pre-package the boards to speed the whole process up either. I mean maybe he did, maybe he didn't. We won't know because he won't tell us and doesn't log into GH for weeks at a time. This whole "only update when update" thing is not helpful in any way. An explanation why things aren't moving forward in an expected time frame is also in need of an update. And "no update" at least lets us know that the runner is still present and invested into the project.

To clear the air a bit, producing the wrong file is annoying but there is nothing anyone can do to change that. Weaston has given us an acceptable solution to the problem and there is no need to potentially drive someone into financial ruin by re-producing all the bottom pieces just so we can put our feetsies on.
We also don't know what else is going on behind the scenes. Maybe he's very busy and didn't have time or the nerves pre-packing and cerakoating the boards while waiting for the PCBs, so no need to get aggressive about that.

But with months upon months of no communication and then getting a very to-the-point update that only contains the latest project developments we kind of have to assume that he's just sitting on his ass the entire time twiddling his thumbs and choosing to ignore us. Or he doesn't, we can't know.

I completely agree and understand that every participant agreed to get the keyboard "whenever", doesn't mean people can't get annoyed by how things are handled while having no actual deadlines and not knowing what to expect next.

Will this ship? Yes, absolutely.
Does Weaston have only the best intentions in mind? Yes, absolutely.
Can Weaston or us magically speed things up? No.
Am I actually enraged and reeing because of a metal rectangle? Na, I'm just a bit annoyed at the guessing game we have to play.

I fully believe that Weaston can deliver the promised product and once we all have it in hand we will love and enjoy it.

Okay, time to forget about this again for a couple weeks.

Imagine that this has just been a scheme for Weaston to crowdsource 200 personal boards for himself, that he personally hates bumpon cutouts, and he knew that Paypal has a 180-day window for disputes on transactions.

just waiting on him to ship the boards out. I don't see why he would have to wait for the cerakoting to finish prior to shipping out boards that don't need it. Granted he might have been able to get those boards cerakoted while waiting on the pcbs to arrive...

Honestly I have seen both bigger and smaller GB take longer or shorter. Imo it's kind of foolish to do a direct comparison. There's a lot going on behind the scenes. Is this one behind on schedule, definitely, but I've seen the same runner run the fastest GB and slowest back to back. And if there was ever a time for delays, it's been this past year. We've seen evidence of progress. I'm hopeful we'll get another update sometime soon. But I guess we'll see.

Do we have any way to try to get in touch with weaston and/or his family? Just to make sure everything is ok? Has anyone ever met him IRL? At a meetup? This is getting pretty ridiculous. Failing that, at what point to we work harder to start forcing the issue? He used shopify to take the payments, so they must have some contact information for him. I'm fine to continue waiting and recognize that GBs are "at risk". I've got ~$700 (2 boards, extra pcbs and plates) tied up in this which isn't nothing. I'm not ready to give up on this yet. I really hope weaston's ok, but I also really hope there's a good reason that we haven't heard anything. Trying hard not to be "that guy" (and if you want to turn me into that, fine, I have thick skin, but I hope you see that I'm trying here). We're at 18mo now and we've all been, by and large, very patient and understanding. I'm sure most of us think weaston is a good guy and intends to see this through. Just asking for an update and maybe an ETA — that's all.

While not a great way to pursue some kind of resolution in this, sharing information that is part of the public record (LLC information is the public record) is solidly NOT doxxing.

I'm also a part of this group buy and I am quite curious as to what the hold up is. I'm sure I'm reiterating questions that have already been asked, but if everything is in-hand (ano units, PCBs, o-rings, bump-ons? ;D) aside from cerakoted units, why haven't those orders that can be fulfilled been fulfilled?

Perhaps there were more issues that came up in QC. Obviously that would mean we've been kept in the dark about some unknown issue but at this point I'm sort of at a loss as to what the main issue could be.

To those reaching out to people who may be able to contact weaston, thanks for your help. We're all trying to figure out what's going on here.

This is off topic, but is Ogre kind of a cousin to GSKT-00, which is kind of an homage to OTD 356 mini?

This is off topic, but is Ogre kind of a cousin to GSKT-00, which is kind of an homage to OTD 356 mini?

All three boards are similar in the fact that they use a gummy worm mount and have tabs on the plate (i.e. not like the Unikorn). I'd say the GSKT-00 and 356 mini are the two closest related. Design wise they are very similar, except the GSKT-00 doesn't have a weight.

The Ogre is fairly different in the fact that it is seamless and uses a USB-C daughterboard.

I haven't used an Ogre before, but from what I have heard, the GSKT-00 is the softest typing of the three (Ogre and 356 mini are on the stiffer side).

But yes, they are all similar to each other, but different than boards like the Unikorn and Bakeneko60.

Definitely confusing - it seemed like everything was moving along just fine. "I have been qc-ing and everything looks really nice" regarding the boards, the PCBs came in, overall status was "shipping soon," etc.

I know Weaston said he only wanted to update when he had something new to share, but 3.5 months of radio silence also stretches the definition of "shipping soon."

If things are still set to move forward, I think everyone would appreciate a shoutout so we can rest easy.

If the GB is somehow scuffed now because of some insurmountable issue that came up, I think people would rather know that too instead of being kept in the dark indefinitely. Maybe it's something we could all work through and figure out together.

Weaston, you said "I understand the frustration, I've been part of group buys before too and know how it feels when things get delayed" - if you can indeed empathize with this, please consider how everyone else feels at the moment. We all understand that **** happens, and we all accepted the usual GB risk in entering this thing - but being ghosted sucks. Personally, I would at least appreciate being leveled with here if this board is never going to ship. Thanks for reading.

I think there is more to this than just Weaston quietly doing his work. If people can't even get a hold of him irl - which I assume RNDs mutual friend did, otherwise we could just DM Weaston on Discord ourselves - there's got to be more. But I am also trying to be cautious. With no info, I am forced to make up my own story of what's happening. Even if he was quietly packing the keyboards for the past 3 months, people would have gotten replies for their address changes at that point, no? The most puzzling thing to me is that he logged in recently without saying a thing. Feels almost like he wanted to reset the clock and get people to calm down.

yo I'm just rambling at this point **** em rectangles lmao

Post by: Fnzzy on Tue, 10 August 2021, 16:25:40
Maybe we have different ideas on what's update worthy. So far he has only given positive progress updates, but I think updating on delays or problems is just as important. Personally I get confused when my assumed time frame doesn't match up with what we're getting. I don't understand why starting to ship boards he finished QCing half a year ago is taking almost 4 months and counting and would like to know what the hold up is, especially when we're getting told we'd have our boards soon, and then we didn't.

But it doesn't matter what I say or do, since all I can do is wait. So I'm just doing that.

Who knew that the status of the GSKT-00 was a state secret? Perhaps it's locked up in the same container as the Rukia R2.

Also, unless the reason is: OP squandered the money, I don't see why he couldn't bother to even respond to the hundreds of people that he accepted money from.

I think everyone is fine with waiting a bit longer, if that means we are getting the boards. All we are asking for Weaston to do is to tell that to us. Telling everyone that he will update when he has something "tangible" and that everything is "fine", since it's clearly not, isn't gonna make anything better.

Here's an idea..

Have Weaston check this thread. You don't think it's highly suspect that he posted that QC was almost done and the boards should be shipping soon THREE MONTHS AGO with no word since? Not even a "I ran into an issue, it's going to take longer". I mean, read the title of this tread. QC-ing, sorting. And then nothing for 3 months?

Tell your buddy to man up and take some responsibility for whatever is going on.

Hey all,

I apologize for not posting sooner.  I have had a lot going on in my personal life and haven't really had the time or energy to make an update.

The wait has been because of waiting on gaskets.  I thought the wait time would be much quicker for them but it has turned into this long thing and I really didn't want to post about it until I had good news but it seems like it is time to at least say I am here again.  I am still waiting on them.  I genuinely think they will be here by the end of this month.  In accordance with that hopeful timeline, you will see me reaching out and doing all the address changes and requests.  I have been getting boxes and packing materials together and am anticipating starting shipping as soon as the gaskets show up.

Also I just want to make it clear that the timeline of this buy hasn't been malicious in any way.  I didn't plan on it taking this long and I also am not holding onto money from you guys or something.  A giant portion of the money spent by you all was used for the ordering of the boards and the remainder that is left I suspect will be used entirely on the shipping.  I am just a person, i'm not a company (although I have an LLC to make sure any tax implications stay on the up and up) and this wasn't some master plan to keep you all waiting and scam you or something.  This was a Group Buy to allow everyone to get a good price for a board and me to get to share my work and all the money has been used to make that happen and I genuinely will not even be left with any profit.

I have not been good at this process and I apologize for how it has been handled so far.  This whole thing honestly brought way more of a time commitment that I was ever really prepared for and it never has quite fit into my life.  After this, honestly I will probably never run another board because it has been nothing but stress and having to tell you guys I am waiting on things and can't ship yet brings me nothing but dread.  You think you can control a process like this and have a job and a life but really you can't and I apologize for my inability to do so.  I am not looking for your sympathy or trying to cry or complain, just explaining the situation and how it has effected me.  The length of time has become unacceptable and I am fully aware of that and I offer no excuse.  Once the gaskets come, shipping will finally start and this will all be over.

In the meantime, I really am sorry for the wait and I am hopeful this is the last update I will have to make before shipping starts.

Appreciate the update Weaston. I can imagine the "dread" you felt and completely empathize. That said, and I'm sure you know this, further putting off an update only serves to increase that sense of "dread". I think you'll find that we're all pretty accommodating and understand the situation you find yourself in. I'm sure some people are more angry than others, but by and large I think that most of us just want to know that we'll be getting what we paid for eventually. I know I'm really looking forward to receiving this board no matter how long it takes!

Another thing though, while I'm not in this boat, you didn't mention anything about the cerakoted cases. Has that been completed now?

Man. People in here so nasty. The fact that people felt Weaston was "pressured" or "shamed" successfully into giving an update is laughable. Clearly he just had stuff going on in his personal life but finally got around to giving an update that were still waiting. Which I guess is good?

Has this gone smoothly, no. But people need to just chill and relax a little. And remember that the going price for 60s now is $500+. And they still can experience year plus delays. Should be relieved that we'll still eventually get this board. Hopefully people will at least stop whining for a bit.

This take is exactly what's wrong with the community. Running a Group Buy, no matter what pricing or quantity, comes with responsibilities.

Man. People in here so nasty. The fact that people felt Weaston was "pressured" or "shamed" successfully into giving an update is laughable. Clearly he just had stuff going on in his personal life but finally got around to giving an update that were still waiting. Which I guess is good?

Has this gone smoothly, no. But people need to just chill and relax a little. And remember that the going price for 60s now is $500+. And they still can experience year plus delays.

Meh. I get that. Some handle it better than others. Just tired of the wild speculation and people who didn't even get a board coming in here to thread crap. Imo that's the part of the community that's exhausting.

This is a bad take.

Mod asked Weaston to provide an update and he did.
It probably is a bad take. Moderation is just hit or miss here. And some stuff that gets a pass is just dismal. Just big doubt that mod pressure got us an update over friends reaching out. If he hadn't logged on for so long and had personal stuff going on I'm highly doubtful mod pressure is what brought him back over the reaching out of friends.

If anything cheering this on just reinforces toxic complaining and counter complaint for results. And if any delayed buy  experiences this in a thread it's probably not worth visiting.

I mean don't get me wrong. He should have definitely updated prior to this. To at least combat those who were saying he was running with the money and crap like that, but also because it's the right thing to do for a GB. I'm not excusing that. Just how nasty some people got, in a year when delays have happened to pretty much everything, and occasionally people have had to deal with some serious personal issues.

But we have our update, time to wait a bit longer. Good news is that they're still coming. Some other GBs have not been so lucky. For someone running a GB personally of around 300 boards, I'm sure if he had known the impact covid would have caused, this public buy likely never would have happened.

Even a message detailing the delays going on would've prevented those comments, but it took until now to get something...

Hoping for the best with this GB, we do seem to be on the final stretch. Echoing others before, have the cerakoted boards been sent in by now?

Future readers of this thread, the lesson to be learned here is that only giving updates when there is "good news" is a terrible strategy that will end with people losing faith in your competency as a designer. All the people saying "it could be much worse" are tone deaf IMO. Buyers deserve prompt, regular updates. A lifeline to show that a project is still under active development.

I have the deepest respect for Weaston, and think GSKT-00 is a fantastic looking project, but there's no doubt that the majority of the buy post-sale has not met the standards the community should reasonably expect. As people we should always focus on mental and physical health, and to not let this hobby of ours get in the way of leading a full, functional life. However, with the amount of money the community has poured into this project (and others) there is a real obligation to see this project through, and to accept the responsibility when things don't go perfectly. If you end up in a position where "personal issues" end up affecting your ability to deliver on a project, it is irresponsible to go silent.

This latest update is an opportunity for Weaston to get back on track and I'm hoping lessons can be learned all around.

You know what's exhausting? Seeing GB after GB threads where runners ghost for months at a time. Runners that are sitting on literally 10's of thousands of people's hard earned money. And then people just give them a pass like this is normal business practice.

Make no mistake that if you are choosing to run a GB, you are choosing to run a business. Business owners don't ghost their stakeholders without consequences. If you decide to turn your hobby into a business, you need to treat it as such. Set your personal life aside and complete the task you're given.

It would've taken 10 seconds to say "I'm waiting on O-rings. Things will be delayed until they come in." Then hit copy and paste it once a week to let people know where things stand. Boom, liability covered, people know what's up, no speculation is needed and people may be a little bugged, but at least they don't feel like someone ran off with their money.

Again, treat your business like a business. Bad news comes right along with the good. Customers deserve at least a status update instead of business owners just disappearing. GB runners do not deserve passes.

Doesn't make sense for anyone to say buyers are overly entitled. They paid for their spot, they should be entitled. It is not hard to take 30 seconds to post a "waiting" update when you have hundreds of people memeing your post - to willingly ignore the months of users complaining and trashing your project thread / name, in order to stick to "only important updates" doesn't do anyone any favors, especially the GB runner himself. Now, he had personal issues so not going to guess on that.. but it's weird to defend a GB run in this way. Sure some may have had knowledge of what was going on behind the scenes, the majority did not and were in the dark.

If we use "Some other GBs have not been so lucky." as our measuring stick for success, then stop framing it as a group buy and more of a "donation with chance of gift" instead.

I definitely agree with this. Outside of private buys and small runs, larger releases should move toward reputable vendors (whenever possible) who's livelihood revolve around what this GB was lacking: fulfillment, customer service, & regular project updates. I see this making it easier for not only the designer but also for GB participants.

Nonetheless, I'm glad to see that this is moving forward and that we have something to look forward to *soon*. We're almost there y'all!!

I don't think you need to be concerned for Weaston here, though I'm sure he appreciates it - the replies that are addressing him directly are actually mostly (all?) positive after his latest update, if anything the dead horse that's currently being beaten is the fact that there's a couple strange people enabling previously bad behaviour for some reason. I have no problem with this, I think it's fully deserved.

The hypocrisy that DukeEsquire pointed out where someone is saying "bro lol it's fine this is all good can u guys chill ur so mean" when at the same time admitting they know the runner personally and are in contact with them to the point where they were aware that an update was coming all along is actually hilarious. No surprise that there was no response there considering it's completely indefensible but at least have the decency to just exit the thread at that point.

I mean, I don't think it's too crazy to want to let the GB runner actually post an update himself without just posting info told in private. I get people not wanting to out private conversations *shrug*. Most of the people in this current convo weren't the ones I was referencing as being mean anyway. I specifically stated non-buyers coming in to thread crap, etc.

So basically what you're saying is you were looking for information and felt concerned to the point where you wanted to contact the runner personally in order to ask what was going on with your keyboard that you paid for but when others complain about the same things you were worried about because they wanna know what status of their that they paid for then it's (in your own words) "funny" that they're "beating a dead horse"? Seems kind of unfair and hypocritical.

I understand your main point here is that there are people who aren't a part of the GB (myself for example) typing in the thread and potentially clogging it with random bull**** but surely you understand why it comes across as extremely patronizing for those that are in not in the same but a far worse perceived situation than you are, given the fact that you're both in the same GB yet you know personal information that you extracted from Weaston yourself and they're left on read rotting away on Geekhack for 8 months?

Anything that's posted that can even remotely qualify as enabling behaviour as has been seen (or rather, not seen) on the part of GB runners like the one here will always be met with hostility, and again, for good reason.

But I'm not enabling him. I'm disappointed with the delays and lack of comms as well. Never have I said he should get a free pass. I'm sorry if people are taking it that way.

One just has to wonder if maybe people view themselves as being in an even ****tier perceived situation because there are so many outsiders wandering in and spelling doom.

Rukia is a good example. It's definitely had a rocky road. But I don't feel the need to go into the GB thread and add fuel to the fire.

I don't think anyone here is dissolusioned enough to believe the way updates have been handled on this have been even par for what a group buy should be. At this point everyone knows that.

Scrambling to find the server and ultimately the link within that server for this buy was some of the most fun I've had trying to join a GB yet. I think the end result will be worth it.

Hey all,

I apologize for not posting sooner.  I have had a lot going on in my personal life and haven't really had the time or energy to make an update.

The wait has been because of waiting on gaskets. [...] I genuinely think they will be here by the end of this month. In accordance with that hopeful timeline, you will see me reaching out and doing all the address changes and requests. I have been getting boxes and packing materials together and am anticipating starting shipping as soon as the gaskets show up.

...

In the meantime, I really am sorry for the wait and I am hopeful this is the last update I will have to make before shipping starts.

Yes. Absolutely. It's not unexplored territory, people have been easily able to find 60% orings for almost a year now for their tofu mods.

I think it's interesting that he has no interest/response to the people that are happy to take their order without the o-ring. You'd think that he'd be glad to get some boards out the door to folks. Given the number of boards that people ordered, I have to imagine that it's taking up a lot of space in his house.

We’re talking gskt here. Wasn’t the original gb estimate like 90 days? I don’t care how easy tofu O-rings are to source, gskt O-rings will take 6-12 times that.

Because gskt.

Keep them. O-rings are easy to source for people who are willing to take their boards now.

Maybe time for a mod to step in and give Weaston a nudge again. He obviously has no respect for his customers...You know, the people that have given him 10's of thousands of dollars.

I don't want to tell you how to run your GB because I don't know the full context to your personal life, but with all the misinformation happening in this thread (that's spanning thousands of comments at this point), I think it will do both you and your customers a great favor if you setup some sort of monthly or bimonthly update cycle. Even if there is no news, it would help calm your customers down. It's mostly a trust thing.

It's easy to think that running a GB is simply sending the product to someone that gave you money, but only those that have ran GBs before know that it's almost a full-time job where you wear multiple hats including customer service when keeping everyone up to date.

Observing this thread, every few months there's a new thing that pops up here, both those that are genuinely concerned or people looking to eat some popcorn. Some of that is caused by your inactivity and absence, really.

Anyways, not my GB, and I know worldwide logistics + manufacturing right now is in the gutters due to COVID alongside you know, there being a pandemic that affects real lives..

Hope all is well on your side..

Honestly at this point it's rather unimportant. People are more concerned about Weaston posting updates on the information that has been asked:
- ​Have the o-rings been delivered?
- If so when will the shipping start?
- If not when is the new ETA?
- Have the address changes been accounted for?

That would already be a step in the right direction.

Then after boxes arrive, Weaston can order tape! That should only take 5-6 more months, but it's ok! He'll show pics of the tape once it arrives.

After that, he can order bubble wrap! But he can only order 1 bubble at a time, and each bubble takes about a day to produce, too. Should have all the bubble wrap in...7 or so years.

This GB is ridiculous.

On a serious note, gaskets are all here, sorry I haven't posted a picture yet (soon ^tm).

I went through today and updated all address changes I could find (from geekhack and discord, I still need to respond to direct emails).  If you did not get a response about an address change and you sent it on geekhack or discord then please send another.  Shipping is happening very very soon so if you have a new address change please let me know as well.

Again sorry for the wait, not much longer now.

While what I’m about to say does not in any way excuse Weaston from the considerable delays that this GB has faced, the update below was posted before you joined Geekhack, so I can see why you might have missed this detail. Weaston has shown evidence that he is in possession of the cases nearly a year ago. Anyone who has been following the thread would understand that this has dragged on for 21 months - nearly 2 years. Two weeks in the scope of this specific groupbuy is a comparatively short period of time.

Update time fellas

00 cases and plates were all delivered over the last few days so I'll start slowly QCing them and taking care of anything that needs fixing with that.  Will be taking the units to be cerakoted to my guy sometime soon to get those started as well.  So if you were on the fence about your color please let me know asap.  I will also go through and finally respond to all the address changes and make necessary updates there as well.  Still waiting on PCBs to finish but we have some samples coming soon so hopefully that will all be sorted by the time these are all ready to ship.

For now enjoy the promised picture of my spare bedroom, now keyboard cave, and have a happy holidays.

If anyone joins a Groupbuy held on Geekhack and Discord exclusively, thinking they are risk-free (even ones from reputable vendors carry some risk), that is simply not an informed position. Some go very smoothly, and others far worse. My personal opinion is that you should not join any groupbuy of this type unless you are in a financial position to literally throw that money away.

Anyone live in or near Jacksonville? Could maybe give Weaston a hand with address changes, packing and shipping. I'd be happy to start a gofundme to cover gas, expenses and generally make it worth your time.

Then after boxes arrive, Weaston can order tape! That should only take 5-6 more months, but it's ok! He'll show pics of the tape once it arrives.

After that, he can order bubble wrap! But he can only order 1 bubble at a time, and each bubble takes about a day to produce, too. Should have all the bubble wrap in...7 or so years.

This GB is ridiculous.

That would be pretty funny though.

On a serious note, gaskets are all here, sorry I haven't posted a picture yet (soon ^tm).

I went through today and updated all address changes I could find (from geekhack and discord, I still need to respond to direct emails).  If you did not get a response about an address change and you sent it on geekhack or discord then please send another.  Shipping is happening very very soon so if you have a new address change please let me know as well.

Again sorry for the wait, not much longer now.

Do it or no balls.

In all seriousness, I'm convinced Weaston doesn't give a single **** about this GB. How much time does it take to throw in the gaskets that he already received into the boxes? Even if he tosses gaskets for 100 keyboards in a day (doesn't take too long), he will be done in 3-4 days. If he didn't already package all the keyboards during the waiting period he is just lazy as ****, there's no way a person doesn't have time to package a few hundred keyboards over a span of several months.. hell even if he packaged ONE keyboard per day he should be done packing all of the orders by now. And please don't give me that busy IRL bull****, it takes no time to package one keyboard per day. Just to remind you guys, we have yet to see a single picture of the products that are "ready to ship", the most we have seen is PCB and stacks of SOMETHING packed in foam. We don't know what the packaging looks like, we don't know what Cerakoted orders look like, hell we don't even know if he has the product in hand. Yet people keep blaming the buyers for asking for updates, sure we willingly paid money to some stranger on the internet for a rectangle but that doesn't mean we should not expect anything from the seller and just pretend everything is fine and it cant be a scam. From what I can see, this guy is friends with the big shots in the hobby, so everytime he gets **** for this GB his whiteknights come to protect him. As for the people who say they are concerned about his health more than some keyboard, this whole situation would've calmed down if he said he wasn't doing well IRL. Obviously no-one has any ill-will towards the guy, but we cant read his mind and until he says so himself it makes no sense to assume the worst and sweep this whole situation under the rug.

Dude, come the **** on.

He does things in an orderly fashion. He waited 2 years to get all the components to start packing, once he is done with packing he will ship the non-cerakoted ones. When all the non-cerakoted board owners receive their boards he will start cerakoting for the others. After that he ships all the cerakoted boards to its owners. So if you want an estimate, its gonna take maybe a year to ship the non-cerakoted boards to people in bum**** nowhere, and then a couple months to cerakote, and another week or so for shipping. TLDR: Its your christmas present for 2022.

EDIT: Oops, I made a small mistake. He only ships one board at a time and waits for delivery confirmation before shipping the next so my estimate was off by a bit. Now the estimate is pushed to christmas 2023.

You can't be serious?

These questions need answering:
What is the status of the Cerakoted boards?
What is the status of the address changes?
What is your ETA for completing packing and starting to ship out the boards?

There are no refunds of any kind. Once you have paid the money, you will not be getting it back unless there is some failure on my end at which point probably everyone would be refunded, but that is an absolute worst case scenario.  Worth mentioning in the spirit of Caveat Emptor.


First off - Shame, Weaston, shame! GB was announced almost 2 years ago!
Secondly - I hope (because there's no reason to believe your vague update messages) you can refund people. Because now it seems like you're pretty close to your own mentioned "worst case scenario".

Money is nice but when you can't hold your own promises and even update people thoroughly on WTF is actually going on on your end, is the money really worth it? Your reputation is ****ed, your mental health is probably in shambles and likely the money is long gone, keeping up with appearances of having it all together when, in fact, you probably have used up money from your own pocket to fulfill the long overdue GB.

Ghosting from designers running their own GB while trying to take on bigger quantities than even vendors can handle, is getting more and more common. People, please don't fall for this.

P.S. I have no stakes in this GB as I did not partake (but I wanted to). Just saying my own thoughts.
P.P.S. Hopefully, this shower thought doesn't come back to bite in my big white hiney.

EDIT: All in all - my main message to Weaston (if he reads this thread and people's negative responses) is this - people would be more understanding if you'd be more open about your struggles and reasoning behind delays. Currently, it seems you're hiding because might be afraid of more backlash. Dude, hold in there and just be transparent on what's actually going on. Updates shorter than Twitter messages just makes it looks like you don't have time AT ALL which, in turn, comes off as you not actually doing what you're telling people you are doing.

Post by: Fnzzy on Wed, 10 November 2021, 08:47:10
I think we have arrived at a point where you have to provide evidence that your products actually exist. I believe your photo from last year to be genuine based on the amount of boards and colours of pieces (don't think red was offered in the private buys), but anything after that has no photo evidence, other than two pcbs from much earlier this year. No photos of the PCBs, no promised photos of the gaskets, no photos of the cerakoted boards. Normally photo evidence should not be necessary, but if you yourself say that not being able to provide positive updates brings you nothing but dread, just snap a couple pictures of the packaging process, or the boards, or the PCBs, or the gaskets, and upload them. That only takes a couple of minutes and should restore some of the much needed confidence in this buy and I frankly don't understand why you haven't posted them yet.

Sadly this message will fall on deaf ears since weaston probably ghosts this thread until the next time he's forced to post an update.

Yes after a 2 month silence we would like so much more I get it, but do you really think shaming him more (see last 10 pages) will get you any further?  I will try to write to weaston more often to entice more frequent communication.

The communication we just got was pretty much useless. There is literally no peace of mind afforded or no new information provided by the communication we just received.

1. He hasn’t answered any of the countless questions about address changes
2. He hasn’t talked about cerakoted boards
3. He hasn’t given a reason as to why things are moving so slow
4. He hasn’t provided any pictures since the gaskets arrived when he said he would.

I understand that constantly bumping this thread seems to do nothing and provide no motivation to Weaston but it seems like at least the Mods can provide some motivation. Maybe providing some motivation to answer the above would help everyone (us, mods, and even Weaston) have some peace of mind.

I understand that constantly bumping this thread seems to do nothing and provide no motivation to Weaston but it seems like at least the Mods can provide some motivation. Maybe providing some motivation to answer the above would help everyone (us, mods, and even Weaston) have some peace of mind.

Yes I agree that this communication is not providing any information but it does show that at least cares enough about the GB to still visit the thread. Do I think it's acceptable, no, but there is no statement in the guidelines for how an update should be structured.

My thought process was that the biggest reason for the lack of communication from weaston was due to the believed pressure from the community. I do believe its important to set requirements for the updates, but first we need to get regular communication. In the end we all just want to be done with the GB.


Stop with the BS and enabling him to get away with this crap.
Enabling what exactly? I'm doing moderator work on my spare time because I like this forum, what exactly do you want me to do here?

I'm sorry, was I not clear? Did you miss the word MEANINGFUL? You know, that word in all caps? Here, I'll put it here again so you will hopefully see it this time. I'll even put it a couple times...

The people want MEANINGFUL...MEANINGFUL...updates. Not 1 sentence BS that doesn't do anything. Hoffy has put several MEANINGFUL questions that people want answered.

You saying that "he gave the absolute bare minimum, which is what you idiots that keep bumping this thread asked for".

There are certain situations where a 1 word sentence may do. Something like a keyset where the only news to share is that there is no news when the keyset isn't due for another 6 months...This GB is certainly not one of these situations, and you very well know that.

Learn to read what people asked for. It wasn't that response he gave.

The communication we just got was pretty much useless. There is literally no peace of mind afforded or no new information provided by the communication we just received.

1. He hasn’t answered any of the countless questions about address changes
2. He hasn’t talked about cerakoted boards
3. He hasn’t given a reason as to why things are moving so slow
4. He hasn’t provided any pictures since the gaskets arrived when he said he would.

I understand that you guys can’t do much else. I was mainly just replying to what you said about being grateful for the update we did get. Just hoping we get the boards at this rate

Agreed, sorry if I worded my first post poorly. It wasn't meant to be taken as "you got your update now be happy", but rather a possibility of getting more frequent communication. I think we share our opinion regarding the informational value of weastons reply.

+1 have seen Signature do a lot over the years and have lots of respect for him.

Honestly, I'm glad there was no reply to that aggressively worded post earlier because it's not even warranted to say anything to that. It wouldn't be MEANINGFUL.

We all have money down here and hope for the same outcome.

So I’ve being following this thread for a while now. Have no stakes in the GB but did hope to _maybe_ get a board from extras (lol).

People are slowly losing their temper. Hope this is not another Lumina type of situation here.

Since weaston was pretty fast at answering to my prior message I will from now on message weekly and try to address the most pressing issue at hand (for this week it seems like pictures and how to reach him for address changes). Trying not to do too many questions at once.

Feel free to post questions that you want me to put forward as well as keeping me accountable, just reply in the thread when my msg should be due or PM. Hopefully the GSKT00 will be in reach soon :)

Are you only invested in this because you have joined this gb? What about the other group buys in shambles? I think bunnylake and Jaxx need a few PM's

I've been staying out of this thread since I'm not in this GB/it's none of my business/the runners and I have historically not gotten along but it's dead beef at this point/I'm not a GH mod/most of you think of me a ****poster and not a person who has any substantial knowledge/I know better, but I do have some insight here.

There are a some GBs, like Jane CE, where people don't especially care if they get updates or not because it's clear the runner is working, if slowly, and the product they end up with will be good/worth a lot more than they paid/both. There are others where updates are reliably being given on another platform, like discord or via email, so people don't feel inclined to ask for info in the GH thread (common in smaller keyboard GBs). Some longtime GBs get substantial updates when someone asks (280), and that's enough for the people in them.

On the other hand, you have stuff like Rukia, where the runner is just ghosting everyone, and there's not really anything to be done about it.

Plus, it's also an economy issue. There are a lot of GBs, and it's a lot of work to keep up with every single one of them. It's a big part of why I've been so burned out on keyboards for the last year or two.

This is kind of an oversimplification of it, there are a lot of other possible reasons. It's mostly that there's just not one perfect solution.

As always, CAVEAT EMPTOR.

I don't know what to say about those, but it seems like this one has been just limping along enough to give buyers a sliver of hope each time we're about to mutiny. Maybe Weaston would have been better off just ghosting all of us…

Yes I solely do moderation work for monetary benefit :rolleyes:

I'd love to help with the other GB's, the reason I took on this was because I already had an established connection with weaston, so it was more out of goodwill without too much work. Regarding the other threads/GB's I'd love to help out to the best of my ability. I'm not as well informed due to the sheer amount of GB's being ran on this site, so please send a PM regarding the problematic ones and I'll take a look once I have the time. Regarding Bunnylake, we're not on the greatest terms personally and I can't really influence much. He is however banned from running future GB's, for what its worth.

Please ask about cerakote, since we dont have proper sample for what the colors look like it would help a lot to get a picture for each color. I dont think its a tall order because very few got the cerakote option.

Not saying that your question isn't valid, but didn't everyone already select cerakote colors? And aren't they already picked from the standard colors? I mean you can get samples, but they're just little cards and don't 100% match what the boards will look like anyway.

Yes everyone already selected cerakote colors, but it helps to see what it looks like on the board. Its like buying a keyboard in a color that has no render and only pantone color number. Samples seem to be inaccurate because of the materials, that is why I want to see what it looks like in real life. Honestly though, im not expecting **** with the way its going.

I mean it's just a weird ask. You can Google cerakote colors and see what they look like, or go to a businesses site or cerakote's site and see examples. If he's actually packing it means unpacking boards if they've already been cerakoted. And I mean regardless of what it looks like, if it's been coated it's the color your getting regardless of input at this point.

All that aside I know people are curious if all the finishing is at least done. That'd be a good thing to ask.

Think of it like this, you are buying a GMK set with no renders and only pantone color codes. Would you be fine with not having renders and pictures of samples? Would you be fine if the GMK set runner tells you to just look at another set that uses the same color? Yes, it doesn't change anything and I have no control over its outcome but it helps visualize the product. If he has already packed it then it wouldn't make sense to unpack just for pictures obviously, and I don't want to delay this any further if that's the case. But a bare minimum would be to share the status of cerakoted orders to us.

Not only that but the entire point is moot because you do have pictures of samples. You can go ahead and ask the google machine what your chosen color looks like or just order a sample swatch yourself, there's been plenty of time  :p

Did you even read what I said? Because I don't remember saying anywhere that I wanted to see what my cerakote color looks like so I can make any changes to my order or whether I'll even like the color. I even stressed multiple times that I know I can't make any changes and just wanted to see the color on the board for visualization purposes only. Maybe if you read my analogy you might understand my reasoning. As for the samples, did you know that the swatches are not very accurate? Ah yes Google.. how I haven't thought about that.. it's almost as if guns aren't made with the same material as keyboards, different base color can affect the final outcome (for us our base color is silver), some samples on the website use multiple layers of different colors and not just the color I picked. Who would've thought! If it wasn't obvious already, I know what the color looks like on objects that aren't keyboards, specifically the keyboard I purchased. If this point is so moot, GMK set runners have no reason to share photos of the sample if the same color has already been used elsewhere. Who needs cafe's samples when it shares the same alphas main color as 9009 am I right?

If we didn't have more pressing issues, I see no problem with it. However, there are multiple things that should be answered first.
Additionally, keyset designers are designing one thing that all of their customers will receive. Weaston did not make this keyboard for your specific cerekote color. He even said that things are likely to differ, so needing a picture of the cerakote when nothing will change before you get the board seems pointless.

He is not going to be able to change anything about the cerakote even if you don't like it. Seems like a pointless request...

Did you even read what I said? Because I don't remember saying anywhere that I wanted to see what my cerakote color looks like so I can make any changes to my order or whether I'll even like the color. I even stressed multiple times that I know I can't make any changes and just wanted to see the color on the board for visualization purposes only. Maybe if you read my analogy you might understand my reasoning. As for the samples, did you know that the swatches are not very accurate? Ah yes Google.. how I haven't thought about that.. it's almost as if guns aren't made with the same material as keyboards, different base color can affect the final outcome (for us our base color is silver), some samples on the website use multiple layers of different colors and not just the color I picked. Who would've thought! If it wasn't obvious already, I know what the color looks like on objects that aren't keyboards, specifically the keyboard I purchased. If this point is so moot, GMK set runners have no reason to share photos of the sample if the same color has already been used elsewhere. Who needs cafe's samples when it shares the same alphas main color as 9009 am I right?

Wow ignoring the minority color? That's pretty Keyboardcist bro.

Jokes aside, I agree with you that this is least of our problems and should be in the very bottom of our priority list. I still disagree with it being pointless, IMO all colors should have pictures taken regardless of the number of units sold, cerakote or not, but as you said its the least of our worries. No point arguing about this though, so let us just agree to disagree and move on. Also, I apologize if my tone sounded rude earlier. Cheers!

Since weaston was pretty fast at answering to my prior message I will from now on message weekly and try to address the most pressing issue at hand (for this week it seems like pictures and how to reach him for address changes). Trying not to do too many questions at once.

Feel free to post questions that you want me to put forward as well as keeping me accountable, just reply in the thread when my msg should be due or PM. Hopefully the GSKT00 will be in reach soon :)

Respectfully — I understand this is well-meant, but if Weaston has time to answer to you in private, then he has time to come out here and post the same information via an update. Not to mention the conflict of interest. In my opinion, doing this is enabling his behavior more than anything else.

Please ask about cerakote, since we dont have proper sample for what the colors look like it would help a lot to get a picture for each color. I dont think its a tall order because very few got the cerakote option.
Not saying that your question isn't valid, but didn't everyone already select cerakote colors? And aren't they already picked from the standard colors? I mean you can get samples, but they're just little cards and don't 100% match what the boards will look like anyway.

Yes everyone already selected cerakote colors, but it helps to see what it looks like on the board. Its like buying a keyboard in a color that has no render and only pantone color number. Samples seem to be inaccurate because of the materials, that is why I want to see what it looks like in real life. Honestly though, im not expecting **** with the way its going.
I mean it's just a weird ask. You can Google cerakote colors and see what they look like, or go to a businesses site or cerakote's site and see examples. If he's actually packing it means unpacking boards if they've already been cerakoted. And I mean regardless of what it looks like, if it's been coated it's the color your getting regardless of input at this point.

All that aside I know people are curious if all the finishing is at least done. That'd be a good thing to ask.

Think of it like this, you are buying a GMK set with no renders and only pantone color codes. Would you be fine with not having renders and pictures of samples? Would you be fine if the GMK set runner tells you to just look at another set that uses the same color? Yes, it doesn't change anything and I have no control over its outcome but it helps visualize the product. If he has already packed it then it wouldn't make sense to unpack just for pictures obviously, and I don't want to delay this any further if that's the case. But a bare minimum would be to share the status of cerakoted orders to us.

He is not going to be able to change anything about the cerakote even if you don't like it. Seems like a pointless request...

I mean your just asking for things no keyboard GB provides. Sometimes they'll leak some of the colors prior to delivery but a lot of times they just ship. Again it's too late to change it anyway. And you can definitely find other things, even aluminum things, cerakoted your color online. This is ignoring the point that of course lighting can effect color as well, so unless your going to send Weaston a lighting setup to get color accurate photos, just seems like a whole lotta huff for nothing. Sorry if what I say comes off as rude, it is just a weird ask.

Right now everyone's priority concern is Weaston giving more details of where he is in the process and getting boards shipped to those who joined. Giving you a pic of your specific board with a color you can't change doesn't address anything more concerning with this buy. You can always post how much you hate how the color was done after the rest of us get our boards .

Yeah. It's a tough call. The alternative is not doing this and just having him ghost the thread. If this is how we get our boards I'm on board.

For what it's worth there was no declared state of pandemic in January of 2020.

So that's probably wrong.

$25 easily covers the price of USPS Priority or UPS Ground and $50 covers the cost of UPS Worldwide Expedited/Saver. Not sure how participants paying more for shipping would resolve any issues.

Weaston,

You've had the cases and plates in-hand for almost a year now (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=104266.msg2992890#msg2992890), and the PCBs since April (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=104266.msg3042594#msg3042594) (ostensibly).

What I don't understand is why you'd have everything ready to go, all that stuff just sitting there in your room, but then not say anything or ship anything out for months. I'm not sure why you'd be waiting on gaskets for over half a year. Even if you only ordered them later on - it still calls into question why, due to everything else being in-hand months prior.

Did something else go wrong that hasn't been mentioned yet? What's going on? I agree with you that this GB was not malicious, but I am not convinced we have the full story either.

You already mentioned some miscommunication issues with the manus and some problems that arose (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=104266.msg3013356#msg3013356) as a result of sending older files by mistake. Was there something more than that? Level with us, here.

Considering how long this GB has gone on for, I don't think it's unreasonable to ask that you set aside five minutes to provide your customers with some clear answers and a couple pictures to help reestablish confidence in this GB. It's not right to leave everyone in the dark like this for months on end -- it's a pretty terrible feeling.

I have a feeling something went wrong, considering there were substantial delays supposedly because of PCBs and then gaskets.

From the original post:
Quote
PCB turnaround should be some time less than the boards and gaskets and screws are a trivial amount of time to acquire so no worries there

The delays seem like they were excuses to buy more time for some other reason. Obviously that's just speculation, and I would love to be proven wrong.

It sounds like he sent the files from the OG private run back in 2018 which also did not have bumpon cutouts. He did amend the files later but the wrong files were the old ones from what I can tell, and no they didn't have any other issues besides that.

either way, even if something did happen that made the gb unfulfillable i think we'd all rather be told upfront than be strung along while slowly losing more and more hope. if, for example, tesletron had been quickly upfront about the issues with the lumina gb and admitted it was not going to be fulfilled i think many people would hold a somewhat less negative opinion of him and that gb. also see jaxx and the rukia r2 gb.

If you look at the photo you can count the parts and I think it comes out to just under 300 units or so, and I can see all the group buy colours in those boxes, including red, which I think hasn't been done in the private rounds, but correct me if I'm wrong.

If they were actually being packed one would assume that some people would have gotten shipping notifications. Even if there wasn’t actual movement on the tracking. How else would you keep track of what box belongs to whoever.

There’s also no proof of anything, really. Some foam crates and a few PCBs. I doubt anything has even been cera’d if they do exist.

Something isn’t right here and we’re all obviously being left in the dark. I’m contemplating contacting my credit card company to try to recover the funds if it’s not already too late.

I mean true. But at this point, he's not paying to get them all redone. So if the option is Dremel it to fit, or just get nothing at all, I'll take the first.

Eh, I want what I paid for two years ago. The whole GB thing is getting really old. It was more understandable years ago, but some of these vendors are big now and generate a bunch of profit. If you can't handle a buy, run it through a vendor.

Drop is also opening themselves up to liability now that they own GH. It's not a good look when you let users on a site you own get scammed out of money. It's getting to the point where this sh*t needs to be more structured than just "pay me now and cross your fingers you get what you paid for".

I mean in the photo you can def see more than just foam. Now maybe he went through and painted a bunch of cardboard the GB colors. Seems pretty excessive tho. More likely cases are there, something just went wrong in manu.

A couple things here...

Your CC company isn't going to do jack for you. It's been 2 years, even the longest protection offered by CC companies expired a year ago. Threatening to go to your CC to get a refund isn't much of a threat to anyone, and I'm sure Weaston knows that.

Second off, no...Drop has zero liability on this. It's like trying to sue a gun store for selling someone a gun they used to kill someone. That's not how business works. You may as well say Google is liable, too, since the form for the GB was done through a Google form.

I understand you're frustrated. Everyone in this GB should be. Weaston should definitely never be allowed to offer anything for sale here again (and I certainly hope he doesn't try to). I also hope people look at this GB next time they consider buying anything from a Google form, too.

There is 1 message from 1 person that said they opened a dispute there. On top of that, they didn't actually say they got their money back. They just claimed they opened a dispute that their CC company accepted.

You can always dispute a charge. I’ve done so successfully well over a year after a purchase. We can also try taking things up with Shopify since he used them to collect payment. Not sure what they can do at this point, but they presumably have some financial info. There’s still the legal route too, which I’ve started looking into.

Shopify is heavily favored to businesses, not consumers. All Shopify will do is tell you to go through your CC to dispute the charge and will do nothing more than that to help you. There's lots of posts all over the internet that backs this up. Shopify doesn't even provide information about consumer protections. All of their info is concerning protecting a business.

If your CC company lets you dispute the charge, at this point you should be disputing the charge. Weaston is so disorganized, he probably won't even notice and you'll probably get your money back and your board (if they do actually ever ship).

Hello all, Happy Holidays!

I am still in the process of getting everything packed up.  I do have some backlogged address changes to get through that I am waiting to fully respond to until such time shipping is fully underway as there have been many more change requests for the same orders and I'd like to batch them all together.

Again I just wanted to say thank you for your patience or at least for waiting while things have gone so slowly on my end.  This whole GB has been botched as far as the wait times and I know and I take full responsibility and I understand how it feels to wait to long as I've done it myself.  I can only say that they are being packed up in any free time that I have whatsoever and I am wanting to get this off my plate just as much as you want to receive your boards.  I wanted to do something to make it up in some way like some extras for everyone or stickers or something but I think you would all rather get your boards and be done so all I can do at this point is put care and time into the packing and shipping so that you all can have what you paid for. 

The final news for probably the year is that I'll be packing everything up and hoping to finish and begin shipping by the early part of 2022.  I also don't feel comfortable shipping boards during the holiday season as so many packages get lost and that has happened a lot to me, and I would rather not risk people not getting them so it will certainly be in the new year.

Thank you again for the patience and again I am sorry for the wait and it is my fault for not having things organized better and thinking I could do a GB of this magnitude by myself.  Turns out I was unable to keep any semblance of decent timing and for that I really am sorry.

Here are some pictures of the gaskets all individually packed and some boards and pcbs.

I wrote to weaston yesterday regarding pictures and address changes and he responded that he will update the thread shortly
Did weaston ever show you any pictures of the cases/plates/pcbs so we know they actually exist?

The fact we haven’t seen the boards just foam boxes after all this time is getting concerning

If you look at the photo you can count the parts and I think it comes out to just under 300 units or so, and I can see all the group buy colours in those boxes, including red, which I think hasn't been done in the private rounds, but correct me if I'm wrong.
There were 3 reds in the private run, look at my pfp.

So if I'm reading this correctly, all you have done since April is put some gaskets in baggies?
Title: Re: [GB] GSKT-00 (Currently packing)
Post by: mta on Tue, 30 November 2021, 14:16:02
Thanks for the response Weaston, but I don't think this really addresses the main concerns.

-You mentioned that you were still in the process of packing, but it doesn't look like anything's actually been packed yet? (You were gathering packing materials 3 months ago in August). It doesn't look like anything has been done with the cases for nearly a year - they haven't even been taken out of the foam yet, let alone QC'd, nevermind the time/effort needed to organize it all, pack, box, label, ship, etc.

-We still don't know the status of the cerakotes even though you've been asked about them many times. You mentioned back in April that these would "100% be getting cerakoted by next month" - were they? How did they turn out? Were there any issues there?

-Have any of the received PCBs from the main order been QC'd/tested?

-You're saying there is still a backlog of address changes that still have to be processed, and the only significant change in this GB between April 2021 (when you had the cases/plates/PCBs in-hand) and today is a box of gaskets. What makes this particular point in time much different from 6+ months ago? Whatever caused these delays in the first place over a stretch of non-holiday months, are they still going to be an issue during an even busier holiday season?

I know you want to make progress on this and start shipping soon, but you've also said this many times in the past. I'm sure you're well-intentioned here but my concern is that we fast forward to early 2022 and find that nothing's changed.

Do you have a plan for handling a set number of units per day or anything similar to that -- anything that helps break down this task into smaller/more manageable chunks?

This was a very complicated and ambitious GB from the beginning, but I think we need more transparency here so we can better manage expectations. Otherwise it's just a rinse-and-repeat of missed deadlines, months of uncertainty, more delays, unclear updates, frustrated customers, dread and headache on your part, etc.

I'm very unsatisfied with the response from Weaston. We got sorries, thankyous, pictures, vague shipping date, but nothing about the reason this is getting delayed so much. WHY has it taken him so long to package and ship? WHY does he ghost us, even when contacted through moderator? Is it that hard to be transparent? Is it that hard to pin your own GB thread on your browser and check it once a week? If he even read the comment section here he would've known what people want from him, instead he ignores everything and gives the classic "im sorry for everything, thank you for being patient" bull****. How are we supposed to trust his word about shipping early 2022 when he cant even tell WHY this got delayed? In the picture it is clear that everything is still in foam and nothing has been packed, but he says he will ship early 2022. If he can pack everything in the upcoming months, why didn't he do so already when he had a whole year? Even if he packed and shipped one keyboard per day he would've shipped to at least domestic purchases, we paid 25 dollars for shipping and usps charges 20 dollars for large flat rate, so its not like he is getting a deal for bulk shipping though I could be wrong about this.

Now I'm sure people will reply to me saying it is useless to know, so to those people, will you just take his word and be fine with his empty sorries as he keeps delaying this **** hoping you will eventually get your keyboard? How do you guys trust anything Weaston says if he has never made an attempt to build trust in the first place?

Tbh, it sucks to know that things are delayed, but what is there to do?

- Chargeback? Nah, I still want the keyboard.

- Complain? Clearly we've been doing a heckuva lot of that and not getting a specific response to those questions

- Legal recourse? Lol yeah right, who's gonna pay for it?

At this point, it's either you try your best to get your money back if you're not satisfied with the wait, or suck it up, demanding for answers doesn't seem to be getting anywhere.

At the point where you realize you're done with waiting (or believing in words), that's when you should turn to getting yourself a refund and leaving this experience behind.

TBH it's understandable people still have very valid concerns, but I think there isn't much to do for someone who wants their board, other than to just wait and prod for updates in reasonable intervals, which is what a lot of us are trying to do here.

Whenever these ship, a cool sticker design that says something like "I survived GSKT-00 GB 20' - 22'" would be kinda sick. I was really digging how Omni added extra stuff for GMK Drac. I wouldn't want a sticker to cause an extra delay though..

Weaston, for unknown reasons, took forever to order the oring gaskets despite it being a major element of the keyboard. He ain't got time for stickers lol

Yeah, it should only take Weaston a year or so to get a sticker like that made.

Please don't encourage him to delay shipping these.

Hey it's been 6 weeks, think it's time for another status report. Is cerakote done? Have you started packing anything? Have you done any more address changes? Has a proper and thorough qc been done? Are we still on track for "early part of 2022" whatever that means? It's fine if you need more time, just don't leave us in the dark for so long. I'd actually prefer regular updates that say "I haven't done anything" over radio silence.

I think we are overdue for an update here. I have refrained from posting here because I believe Weaston has good intentions, but this has gotten out of hand. It has taken so long that no-one has any financial recourse, and seems to be often forgotten about. I hope the moderators will continue to ping him regularly so we can get updates.

Hello all, Happy Holidays!

I am still in the process of getting everything packed up.  I do have some backlogged address changes to get through that I am waiting to fully respond to until such time shipping is fully underway as there have been many more change requests for the same orders and I'd like to batch them all together.

Again I just wanted to say thank you for your patience or at least for waiting while things have gone so slowly on my end.  This whole GB has been botched as far as the wait times and I know and I take full responsibility and I understand how it feels to wait to long as I've done it myself.  I can only say that they are being packed up in any free time that I have whatsoever and I am wanting to get this off my plate just as much as you want to receive your boards.  I wanted to do something to make it up in some way like some extras for everyone or stickers or something but I think you would all rather get your boards and be done so all I can do at this point is put care and time into the packing and shipping so that you all can have what you paid for. 

The final news for probably the year is that I'll be packing everything up and hoping to finish and begin shipping by the early part of 2022.  I also don't feel comfortable shipping boards during the holiday season as so many packages get lost and that has happened a lot to me, and I would rather not risk people not getting them so it will certainly be in the new year.

Thank you again for the patience and again I am sorry for the wait and it is my fault for not having things organized better and thinking I could do a GB of this magnitude by myself.  Turns out I was unable to keep any semblance of decent timing and for that I really am sorry.

Here are some pictures of the gaskets all individually packed and some boards and pcbs.

It has now been 51 days since Weaston's previous update which exceeds Geekhack's rule of one update a month (~30 days on planet Earth).

I sure would like to see an update for the keyboard I bought nearly 2 years ago!

I still don’t think they’re being packed. I still know of people with outstanding address change requests, and no one has gotten a shipping notification. Apparently honest and open communication has just been too much to ask for.

Delays were expected due to Covid, but we’re way past that now. Let this serve as an example of how to not run a GB.

There is literally no excuse at this point.

Can confirm. I’ve tried to contact him three times via email and once through Geekhack DM for a single address change starting back in May 2020. I don’t want to spam the dude but I’d like to know that my order won’t show up at the wrong location.

I've spoken to an attorney about this. He believes that there is certainly a case here. With some very rough numbers, let's say there are 200 participants in this group buy and that the average cost per participant is somewhere around $300. That means that the total amount payed to Weaston (Gray Industries, LLC via Shopify) was somewhere in the neighborhood of $60,000. There are a few options.

The attorney says that the group could bring a lawsuit and that the cost to do this, if all 200 group buy participants also participated in the lawsuit, would probably be somewhere in the neighborhood of $50 per participant. This probably isn't the first course of action to take, but is absolutely an option available to us and not something so astronomical as to be completely out of the realm of possibility.

Separate from a civil lawsuit, the attorney believes that taking $60,000 without delivering any product likely constitutes felony fraud. As such, we are going to begin a discussion with The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services which, as far as we can tell, seems to be the appropriate department to take the first steps with.

My PMs are open for any questions. I do not yet need any personal information from anyone to continue moving forward. However, it would be helpful to start getting an idea about who's interested, and how much you spent on this GB, separate from this thread, just so these rough numbers can get slightly less rough. If either course above is to be taken, we'll need to offer evidence. It will also likely be possible for the attorneys to get this information from Shopify if a lawsuit is filed.

It is still my sincere hope that Weaston will simply do the right thing, expediently, and ship everyone's orders. I do not believe he has any malicious intent and do not savor the idea of having to take this to court. I think we all just want this to end with everyone as happy as is possible at this point.

Hello all, hopefully you all had a nice holidays.  Packing has been going well throughout last month and this month and we are on track to ship a major portion of orders by the end of next month (February)!  There will be a few small groups of orders going out all throughout February as well.  There are still some outstanding address changes (which are newer admitedly) but they will be updated this week before anything is sent out.

I just want to say please let me finish this and get me your boards, I don't want them sitting in my house, I don't want to hold you up from having them, I want to be done with this just as much as you all do.  I didn't do anywhere in the realm of a good job with this but please just give me this last bit of time to show that I am finishing it.  It will all be over soon and you guys will have your boards in hand.  I will update in the next week or so with an update about the first batch of boards going out and you'll see tracking numbers sent to you as well.  So please be patient with me as we are in this last step and get ready to actually have your boards very soon.  Thanks all, we're finally at the end.

To reiterate, nothing is needed now and I understand the skepticism completely. This is not a fast process. Any level of participation would be strictly voluntary and certainly wouldn’t happen on a forum.

That said, I am encouraged by Weaston’s response and hope that all this will turn out to have been unnecessary.

I'm a little bit confused. Why haven't you started shipping them to at least show some progress? Surely you don't want that many packages just sitting around. It would do a long way to instill some confidence for all of us waiting.

I've spoken to an attorney about this. He believes that there is certainly a case here. With some very rough numbers, let's say there are 200 participants in this group buy and that the average cost per participant is somewhere around $300. That means that the total amount payed to Weaston (Gray Industries, LLC via Shopify) was somewhere in the neighborhood of $60,000. There are a few options.

The attorney says that the group could bring a lawsuit and that the cost to do this, if all 200 group buy participants also participated in the lawsuit, would probably be somewhere in the neighborhood of $50 per participant. This probably isn't the first course of action to take, but is absolutely an option available to us and not something so astronomical as to be completely out of the realm of possibility.

Separate from a civil lawsuit, the attorney believes that taking $60,000 without delivering any product likely constitutes felony fraud. As such, we are going to begin a discussion with The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services which, as far as we can tell, seems to be the appropriate department to take the first steps with.

My PMs are open for any questions. I do not yet need any personal information from anyone to continue moving forward. However, it would be helpful to start getting an idea about who's interested, and how much you spent on this GB, separate from this thread, just so these rough numbers can get slightly less rough. If either course above is to be taken, we'll need to offer evidence. It will also likely be possible for the attorneys to get this information from Shopify if a lawsuit is filed.

It is still my sincere hope that Weaston will simply do the right thing, expediently, and ship everyone's orders. I do not believe he has any malicious intent and do not savor the idea of having to take this to court. I think we all just want this to end with everyone as happy as is possible at this point.
This is a topkek moment

Thank you for the fast shipping. There’s a problem though.

The front and rear screws aren’t long enough because they don’t fit into the recesses on the back

EDIT: Can confirm they kind of fit.

Make sure to screw them in once completely first without a build in it or they're going to not seat and strip.

They do fit, the tolerancing is very tight (like +/- 0.1mm), you can very lightly push the tops of the screw with another screw, toothpick or applicable screwdriver and they will slide through.  I've confirmed this on the cases I still have in hand as well.

I'm not sure if I ever said poron, but they're definitely silicone. clear silicone rubber.  If they don't post a picture then I will post one in a few hours.  I had them laser cut to a size that fits between the front screwholes and the back ones so they're pretty easy to install.

Would it be possible to get the screw specs?

They all stripped on me. I had to actually hammer them in to get them to seat, and then they stripped. Two out of the 8 actually caught threads without stripping. I think the tolerances with the included screws are just way too tight.

Not trying to concern anyone here or start anything because it could just be my board.

How on earth did you ever come to the conclusion that this was a good idea? You didn't think asking for the screw dimensions first and getting the correct ones was the better way to go about solving your issue?

Oh my goodness it looks like you got screws from the wrong bag, I'm really sorry about that.  Only you and a 2 other people will have that problem, I will message the three of you privately and you will have your new screws delivered to you by the end of next week.  The screws look so similar I mistook them so I apologize.  Everyone else will have the correct screws in their boxes so not to worry.  Again I'm really really sorry, thank you for letting me know so I can fix it quickly.  Thank you all again for the patience.

Anyway, saltiness aside, it seems to be a tolerance stacking issue. I removed some material from the screw head and they then fit in the hole and screw in with no issue, but out of the box there's definitely a tolerance issue with mine.

Screw Update,

The few people with the wrong screws have been emailed and the correct screws are being mailed today so they will have them early next week.

Everyone else will be unaffected, the correct screws will be replaced in any boxes already packed and all other orders can rest assured of proper fitment.

Again I apologize for the annoyance, but no one else should be affected.  Thanks again for the patience.  You'll see many more tracking numbers early next week.

Update

Taking the first wave of 20 boards to the post office tomorrow, planning for another 20 or so later in the week.

Will update shopify tomorrow with tracking numbers once they're with usps so check your emails.

Will be trying to keep a schedule of about 40 orders per week going out, there is some flexibility there of course but it should be do-able.  There are around 220 orders remaining so as I said a few updates ago, looking to the end of February for most if not all boards out.

Updates from now on will be saying the number of boards shipped.

If there is anything in your order that is wrong for whatever reason please don't hesitate to pm me.  If somehow you have a wrong plate color or something just let me know and we'll get it sorted.

Thanks all.

Pirateship provides extremely reliable and good rates for international shipping.

I just shipped a couple 60s to Australia and Singapore (from the Midwest USA) for no more than $65 raw cost using their rates.

There’s a Shopify app that integrates well and lets you fulfill from Pirateship in the case of intl packages.

Talking about sending things to Australia, USPS suspended services to Australia for a bunch of mail options. Not sure if you're using any of these options to ship to Australia Weaston but you might want to look at other options if you are.

Someone in the community who got their GSKT-00 reached out to me because they weren't sure how to program the board. I looked into it and generated the VIA compatible hex file (to flash using QMK Toolbox) and JSON file (the latter you import on the Design tab on the VIA software).

Steps:
- set your PCB to bootloader mode (hold ESC while plugging in; OR plug in normally, press physical RESET button in the back)
- on qmk toolbox, see that there is yellow text indicating the microcontroller unit (atmega32u4) has been detected, select and flash the hex file
- open VIA, go to the Design tab, import the json file
- go back to the Configure tab and check that it's identified (if it doesn't show up, try unplugging and replugging the PCB back in)
- set your layout(s), test it on Key Tester

I tested it on my first run PCB and it works and tested it on a spare as well. I had the person who reached out with their GB production run board flash successfully as well.

Hope this helps.

p.s. old private run PCBs enter bootloader mode using Bootmagic (hold SPACE and B while plugging in) as opposed to Bootmagic Lite (ESC while plugging in) on the new ones

any possibility we can get plate files now that people are getting their boards in? have mine in hand but i’m not a fan of the spacebar switch cutout. would rather have the switch completely clipped in + it gives me an excuse to get another plate color :p

yeah he said he probably wouldn’t offer plate files when the thread first began, instead opting for future buys of components if we wanted more. but that was also 2 years ago and he said he didn’t want to run another groupbuy after this one, so maybe his mind changed about files too!

For what it’s worth I’ve been using mine with that cutout for years now with no issues. I personally prefer a minimal mount on the spacebar for half-plates.

I recommend it, but also totally in support of designing your own plate too  :thumb:

maybe it's just me being nitpicky, but it leads to a bit of an inconsistent sound with only half the switch being clipped into the aluminum and half of it over the pcb. feels and sounds soft and muted on the top of the spacebar but firm and loud on the bottom. not a big problem whatsoever but i would definitely love to get one remade for consistency's sake

It completely rubs off with a cotton cloth, it isn't actually the ano or a flaw.  A handful of the boards had it and I thought I had wiped them all, seems one made it past me in all the packing, my bad.

Also update, another 20 boards went out saturday, updating shopify with tracking today.  Slowly responding to emails and pms, sorry for the wait.

I guess I never said it before but I highly recommend a pcb mounted switch for the spacebar.  The idea is the plate is just there to keep the gasket aligned and the switch is held in by just being a pcb mounted switch.  Idk if you were trying to use a plate mount or not.  With a pcb mounted switch I haven't personally seen the sound be inconsistent but I suppose that could change with different switches.  But it was intentional and it was the sound I was going for at least with cherry black pcb mounts.

Did anyone who got cerakote as an option see it reflected in their order confirmation? I requested cerakote for my case, and it's reflected in the google sheet. But, my order confirmation/invoice doesn't have anything indicating I requested it.

If I didn't get charged, then it's really not that big of a deal that it's not cerakoted. It's been a while since payment, I don't remember paying a separate invoice or anything.

Got my gskt last week during the first wave of shipping and also had a spot at the top that easily wiped away. There are some internal smudges that I haven’t tried wiping off. Also the pom plate came kinda scratched. Either way I’m excited to build it. If anyone has recommendations for a pom or half poly plate, I’d love to hear them

I don't know about the external facing one, but at least for the first two pictures, those look like marks from hanging on anodizing hooks. Often, internal marks like these are acceptable in QC. I'm not sure which corner I am looking at on the external case pic though

Wiped down the bottom of my board and the ano is quite uneven:

Also, my screws don't fit. I tired pushing on them with a screwdriver and they won't budge. What are the screw specs?

Update

Another 20 or so went out on saturday, I apologize I didn't have time to update tracking till today, it looks like there are still a few out for delivery.  By the end of this week we should have about 100 orders out if not more.  Currently shipping CONUS (with a few international here and there but very few rn), but International will start going out majorly probably next week or the week after.

I checked the ano and screw fitment personally on each board, but it seems like the screws I got this time have more variance in the head size (even though they're not supposed to), so I will send you some extras this week which should hopefully be better.

As for the ano did you wipe with a cotton cloth?  I didn't see any streaky ano on the outside of black units myself, maybe it was from the bags/bubble wrap?

Should I send an email with my order number or something for the screws?

I wiped with a microfiber cloth, also tried a bit of IPA. I'll try a cotton cloth and see if that helps. Not the most worried about this though since the top and sides look alright

Any updates on further shipping batches? I know there were 200+ orders, so I understand it might take time, but it might not need to take that MUCH time.

I was still a bit confused by the mention of manual updates of tracking, so I asked someone who already received their package. The label was hand-written and walked up to the PO counter and manually labeled by the PO employee.

Unless I'm mistaken, all of us paid through Shopify, and even if their prices aren't the BEST in the world of discounted postage, they are far below the retail USPS location's postage costs. Further, something like Pirateship, which I mentioned earlier in this thread, has exceptional rates, and when you generate (read: pay for) a label, Pirateship updates Shopify, which in turn notifies the customer that their package is on the way.

I'm not really trying to stir anything up but it's just wildly confusing to me why, for a group buy that Weaston really wants to be over with (understandably so), would he add to the time it takes for him to complete fulfillment (manual labeling and waiting in line at a PO) and incur further cost upon himself (retail USPS prices).

Did Pewters on a half POM plate per your recommendation, and it's a killer combination. Thanks for the look!  :thumb:

I never checked my shopify order so I don't know, I expected to get a shipping notification first. The board showed up at my door one morning, then I got an email saying that the board had shipped a few hours later, and then an email saying the board had delivered like an hour after that

I'm starting to get a little concerned my order was sent to one of the two (LOL) old addresses I had provided to Weaston. He confirmed with me via email and my order confirmation page via his Shopify storefront shows my updated address. I have USPS Informed Delivery for my current address (highly recommended if you do not have it already) so I would see the shipment even if he didn't update Shopify.

However we know Weaston is not fulfilling through Shopify (handwritten labels, people getting tracking after they've received the board, etc) so there's reason to believe at least one package has been sent to the wrong address and may even continue to happen if he doesn't read this thread.

Any updates or clarification on this kind of thing would really help with alleviating these worries.

Nope. Has there been a single mention of whether cerakote was even done yet? Got sick of asking and continually getting ignored. I guess for the few who selected cerakote...to our dismay, we just gotta wait it out even more. That light at the end of the tunnel kinda dim

My email hasn't been replied to yet, it's urgent I don't want my package to be sent back to the US.

Just got my board earlier today, after getting a notification for tracking yesterday. Unfortunately, the screws seem very fragile and the threads on the end of one screw got damaged while screwing into the board, which has evidently never been assembled together so the screw holes were very tight and a lot of material came out when taking the screw back out. Emailed weaston about possible replacement screws, posting here for more visibility and wondering if anyone else has problems with screws.

Otherwise, some comments on my unit. The top piece is slightly larger than the bottom on every side, and considerably darker on mine. It's also fairly warped and shows a gap when I place it on the bottom piece without screws (it does close up when screwed up).

Someone in the community who got their GSKT-00 reached out to me because they weren't sure how to program the board. I looked into it and generated the VIA compatible hex file (to flash using QMK Toolbox) and JSON file (the latter you import on the Design tab on the VIA software).

Steps:
- set your PCB to bootloader mode (hold ESC while plugging in; OR plug in normally, press physical RESET button in the back)
- on qmk toolbox, see that there is yellow text indicating the microcontroller unit (atmega32u4) has been detected, select and flash the hex file
- open VIA, go to the Design tab, import the json file
- go back to the Configure tab and check that it's identified (if it doesn't show up, try unplugging and replugging the PCB back in)
- set your layout(s), test it on Key Tester

I tested it on my first run PCB and it works and tested it on a spare as well. I had the person who reached out with their GB production run board flash successfully as well.

Hope this helps.

p.s. old private run PCBs enter bootloader mode using Bootmagic (hold SPACE and B while plugging in) as opposed to Bootmagic Lite (ESC while plugging in) on the new ones

you saved me from the big pita, thanks brother.
also don't forget to update the driver using zadig if the toolbox can't flash it ;)

How many more orders total to go out?

About 100 left, a lot of which are International.  Almost all of the CONUS will be out by the end of this week.

Did all of the CONUS boards go out? I haven't received anything yet. I found the paypal payment for this board but could not locate any email from Gray industries. It is possible I deleted it, but I'm a bit worried now.

Don’t think so. CONUS here. My gray industries order when I click through to the link just shows order confirmed no shipping update via the Shopify cart system. I assume you’ve tried searching your email for “GSKT-00”?

I wonder how cerakoting turned out. Any1 got their cerakoted board? Would love to know if it was done well.

Nope. Has there been a single mention of whether cerakote was even done yet? Got sick of asking and continually getting ignored. I guess for the few who selected cerakote...to our dismay, we just gotta wait it out even more. That light at the end of the tunnel kinda dim

Damn. I got mine cerakoted probably why I haven't heard anything yet

Update

Taking the first wave of 20 boards to the post office tomorrow, planning for another 20 or so later in the week.

Will update shopify tomorrow with tracking numbers once they're with usps so check your emails.

Will be trying to keep a schedule of about 40 orders per week going out, there is some flexibility there of course but it should be do-able.  There are around 220 orders remaining so as I said a few updates ago, looking to the end of February for most if not all boards out.

Updates from now on will be saying the number of boards shipped.

If there is anything in your order that is wrong for whatever reason please don't hesitate to pm me.  If somehow you have a wrong plate color or something just let me know and we'll get it sorted.

Thanks all.


it's April. still no tracking.

More units went out today, check your emails for shipping.

If you're waiting on cerakote it will still be longer, I was trying to sort it myself internally and not have to say anything and cause people to be more mad at me, but I am still waiting to get them cerakoted.  There were a lot of problems with pricing and supply chain that made it way more difficult than it should have been, but they are planned to be started this month, so I really can't imagine it would be later than the end of may for those to be shipped out to you guys.  I think I had said before that they were being koted soon (in 2021 I think) and they were planned to, but again the problems back then piled up and I just didn't want to encourage less faith at the time.  So I apologize for that and also whatever other ball dropping I am doing currently.

Again sorry for those few waiting on them, but don't fear, they are being koted and there are no more roadblocks there.

Looks like about 80 orders left including cerakote units so we are in the home stretch now and well past the half way point.  If memory serves there were about 230 orders and we are at 80 left so 150 have gone out.  I thought all non-kote CONUS were done but judging by some of the posts here I seem to be mistaken so I will take a look at those and get those out in the next batch.  But other than that it is entirely non-kote international orders at this point.

Again thanks for the patience in waiting, I am going as fast as I can on my end and most everyone should see shipping notifs this month for non cerakote and next month for cerakote.

If there are any outstanding messages I haven't responded to then please reach out again and I will get it sorted.  It is difficult keeping up with all the different forms of communication so again I apologize for not being as quick sometimes.

I was trying to sort it myself internally and not have to say anything and cause people to be more mad at me

This GB in a nutshell IMO.

Disclosing a problem/delay will frustrate people a lot less than ghosting/icing people out. People have been asking about the cerakotes for over a year, and it's only just now, a couple months into shipping, that we learn that they haven't even been started.

I don't believe the supply chain explanation, since you've had the cases and plates since Dec 2020 (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=104266.msg2992890#msg2992890) and the PCBs since April 2021 (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=104266.msg3042594#msg3042594). The first unit didn't ship out till late Jan 2022 (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=104266.msg3107894#msg3107894), 9 months later.  If the problem was just the cerakoted units, nothing stopped you from shipping the rest out and/or giving the cerakoted people the option to switch.

But that didn't happen, so it seems like there have been other issues that you haven't disclosed that took place between then and now, over those 9 months after you already had everything in-hand.

Hey all, bit of a long shot but thought I'd post here just in case.

I live in Sydney, Australia. I got my order shipping notification a while ago. The board was then delivered for collection to a post office which is quite far from me (Lansvale), and then collected by someone other than me. Collection requires photo ID with a name matching the addressee. An inquiry with AusPost confirmed that the recipient details on the package were not mine.

It seems that someone else's order was accidentally shipped as mine, probably happened somewhere in between transcribing adresses by hand from shopify. weaston is currently investigating.

In the interim, I thought I'd ask in here if anyone received a red wkl gskt-00 + some extras without first receiving shipping, or more generally if anyone had their gskt-00 delivered for collection from Lansvale LPO in Sydney, Australia without first receiving a shipping notification. If we can somehow figure out through GH who else is affected by this particular mix-up, it should make resolution a lost easier.

Thanks very much, hope everyone eventually gets their boards in hand.

Still waiting for shipping notification, any update for the rest (anodized, CONUS) of the orders?

I was recently contacted by Weaston regarding my order. I was told that the remaining black PCBs had issues and that a bunch of orders, including mine, would have to be switched to a different colour PCB. I was told that I am also getting a $50 refund for the cerakote that I was able to cancel and my order (international) would be shipped in the following week or two. I mentioned to him that the GH thread is itching for an update, and he responded that one would be coming soon. This conversation happened on the 15th of May and I have not gotten a shipping notification so far. While I would like to get my board, I am not in a rush and I can wait for it to ship. I'm sure the day will come eventually. He did seem quite overwhelmed (unsurprisingly).

it has been so long... but I finally received my order.

Weaston refunded the alu half-plate I have originally ordered due to reasons mentioned before in this thread. I ordered a WKL grey and unsurprisingly there is a noticeable mismatch on the anodization but to be fair I don't really mind. I convinced myself that it's a feature and make it more unique and less boring since it's almost a totally different tone of grey.

Anyways I will be looking for an alu half plate for this build and it would have been sick to have the red but I am just happy it came.

It’s hardly shocking that there’s more issues with this GB, but instead of keeping people in the dark why hasn’t it been communicated to us, it’s just daft

Happy to hear you've got your keyboard but also kinda makes me irritated that you have to think of excuses you're happy with to justify getting a new board!
I understand there's nothing to be done, really, as it's not worth sending it back or even arguing with Weaston just for the sake of it (he did refund you so that's nice) but it has been a bittersweet journey, this group buy.

I didn't join but a friend did so I'm just following this rollercoaster of a ride with y'all.

Can someone who did cerakote please post here when they finally get their board? I'm not sure when exactly to expect mine, IIRC they were supposed to be finished and shipped out last month? Would love a heads up since they seem to be getting shipped randomly without any notice (and I'm going to be out of the country for the next few months.)

my board showed up today in Australia. like everyone else, there wasn't any tracking. box was slightly scuffed because only the sides were reinforced with foam while the middle of the box is hollow. thankfully there wasn't any damage to the components in there. everything in there was bubble wrapped separately.

case looks okay - not the best ano quality streaks visible on black, internal hook marks chipping the ano but i'm fine with them at this point.

no alignment tabs on the top/bottom case made it very difficult screw in the holes as the tolerances are too tight. took my time and eventually everything fits. i found holding the case while making small adjustments to the alignment helped a lot.

came with red pcb - flashed in qmk, uploaded json to via and it works fine, no dramas.

anyone know what the duro/hardness of the orings (mine are black) are?

A much needed update

Just wanted to update about the last few boards.  We are in the last 40 now, which is great progress.  I'm glad we've been able to get so many out to you guys over the last few months and I can finally say we're in the final stretch now.  Cerakote boards are with the person koting them, still waiting, no major update there.  It sucks but right now we're just waiting more.

I also wanted to touch on the timeline of this final stretch and what has been happening.  It has been a tough few months for me and my family, we're still trying to find some sense of normalcy but right now there are still some pretty major stressors that are keeping us from rushing to finish these last few boards.  It sucks and I'm sorry as I have been so many times during this group buy, but for the time being, major progress on my side as far as getting these last boards out quickly is not going to be happening for at least a few weeks.  I say me and my family because they are the ones who have helped me with all of this, in fact it's been my mother and I who have packed and sent out all of these boards.  She sacrificed her own free time to help me pack and ship and I'm so grateful she had because if I had done this alone it would have taken much longer.  Because of that, this whole group buy has been a stressor on my family and I don't really know why I'm sharing that but it just felt necessary to mentally re-frame all the help they've given me at the moment.  I never really bargained for as many boards as there ended up being in this group buy and because of my own ignorance and stupidity it ended up being a much larger emotional and time investment than I ever thought it would be.  So I guess the lesson learned there is there is always more work than you expect and having someone like a vendor to help you run a group buy is truly invaluable.  Not that anyone here really gives a **** what I think about running group buys surely, but maybe someone logging on here to laugh at this whole situation and has plans for a group buy could see this whole situation and think harder before trying to do something of this scale without enough planning.  I never could have accounted for everything that's gone on with the world, in my life and with this group buy in the time that it has been ongoing and I don't want support or pity or anything like that (since I don't deserve it in this case, circumstances just kept piling up), it just feels like I need to get off my chest the toll that it's had on me personally I suppose.  I want to get these last boards out and finally conclude this thing just as much as you all.  I know it's taken too long and for that I'll always feel terrible.

Also to address a rumor someone mentioned to me in a rude message, no I am not waiting on new boards to be made.  I don't even know where a rumor like that would have come from.  Besides being logistically impossible to sneak another run of boards into the ridiculous supply chain at the moment, there is no money to do so.  Any money from this gb paid for the manufacture of the boards and their shipping. 

Also for those few of you in Russia, please let me know an alternative address to send your board to since USPS won't let me send directly to you anymore and one of the ones I sent a few months ago was just returned to me.  Maybe using a different service would help?  As I'm uneducated on the current available shipping option situation any help from you guys would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for any nice messages and those people that have reached out to let me know you enjoyed your board. 

We'll finish soon.

I presume it's the same as any other o-ring mount 60% board, don't know about durometer rating though. I think Cannon Keys and other vendors that sell o-ring mount 60% boards will have what you're looking for.

Im thinking its probably 50a standard, got a 65a to compare and feels slightly stiffer.

Given Weaston's response times, you're better off just outlining plate on paper or measuring it out with a caliper and recreating it in CAD software.

Totally understand he's having some hard times from his last message but also mentioned last 40 boards (with cerakote units being at the shop) so... It's like one package shipped every 2 days.
People in US move quite a lot though and maybe he's waiting for everyone to update their shipping address or smth.

For a crate of some craft beers, even a friend could pack those orders if he doesn't have time to. But... eh, what do I know.

Wishing the best to Weaston and hopefully life settles down and starts going up.

Yeah there's been plenty of successful GBs run by designers. They do tend to be smaller unit count though, at least to start off with.

Just to follow up here on the topic, if people come across Weaston's personal info and want to try to contact him or take legal action, that's really outside the domain of the site so we have no say in whether or not it happens. The only thing we can't condone/allow is posting that info publicly on the site and doxxing him.

Just like magic, more messages in 2 days vs 2 years.

Dude is going to ship 15-20 boards to get the felony fraud monkey off his back, then back to radio silence while GH loses focus with the lawsuit. You heard it here first.

joshuarubin's board first out the door of course - that's how these things go.

Final Update before the last shipment

I wanted to wait till I had the cerakoted boards back in hand to post again so I could show off pictures and finalize all the shipments but of course there was a problem.  My understanding was cerakoting was being done these last few months but it turns out it had never even been started.  The boards are still safe and everything, I am going to get them back this weekend.

But that means there won't be any cerakoted units, which really sucks and I'm really disappointed by because I was really excited for people to see the quality of the guy I use, but alas he had his own problems in the last few months and couldn't make the run happen.  I don't want to drag this out any longer since I understand how unhappy you all have been with the wait time so I'm making the decision to forgo it in favor of getting the boards in your hands.

With that being said, I will obviously be refunding all money spent on cerakoting by you guys, so expect that back to you soon.  You'll see it back on or right before when your unit goes out, just so I can make sure I'm keeping track of it properly.

All the remaining orders will be sent out over the course of december and into january, at which point everyone will have their board in hand and the GB will be concluded.

Any more address changes please let me know at your convenience, and we'll get this finally wrapped up.

Again I apologize for the wait, I understand the discontent, I wouldn't be happy either and I'm not happy with how this GB has gone.  All I can do now is apologize again and get those final remaining boards out to you guys over the next two months.  Thank you all.

So you dropped off a bunch of boards to be finished and then...?

You didn't follow up with them to check on status, or get an update or anything else? No work was done on them at all? No stripping the other finish? Just sat there for months with zero updates?

Wasn't this GB promised to be finished 11 months ago now? Have the boards that were supposed to be cerakoted been sitting at the finisher for this whole time?

This whole disaster is a lesson on how not to run a GB.

If you really did then you would —at the very least— make an effort in regard to communicating the status of the outgoing boards instead of disappearing from here for months on end and randomly ghost shipping them...

Same! Really just glad nothing is fundamentally wrong with the boards, just the finishing. Cerakote shops are fairly plentiful and colors are more standardized than finding an anodization shop.

Unfortunately the PCB is proprietary, no other PCB will fit.
USB-C PCBs were available from kapcave until July or so but their site seems to be down now and with weaston MIA your only option is to find one aftermarket.

KapCave is ded, however I’m still around. If there is enough interest (20-30 units), I don’t mind doing another pcb run. I’m nachie#1001 on discord so feel free to dm me.

Full Disclosure: I did the pcbs for the private run and provided files for the public run. However I’m not associated with the public buy in any way, financially or otherwise. I won’t open source pcb files, but can provide edge cuts if someone wants to design another one. I don’t have a store yet, but there will be one next month or so.

Final Update before the last shipment

I wanted to wait till I had the cerakoted boards back in hand to post again so I could show off pictures and finalize all the shipments but of course there was a problem.  My understanding was cerakoting was being done these last few months but it turns out it had never even been started.  The boards are still safe and everything, I am going to get them back this weekend.

But that means there won't be any cerakoted units, which really sucks and I'm really disappointed by because I was really excited for people to see the quality of the guy I use, but alas he had his own problems in the last few months and couldn't make the run happen.  I don't want to drag this out any longer since I understand how unhappy you all have been with the wait time so I'm making the decision to forgo it in favor of getting the boards in your hands.

With that being said, I will obviously be refunding all money spent on cerakoting by you guys, so expect that back to you soon.  You'll see it back on or right before when your unit goes out, just so I can make sure I'm keeping track of it properly.

All the remaining orders will be sent out over the course of december and into january, at which point everyone will have their board in hand and the GB will be concluded.

Any more address changes please let me know at your convenience, and we'll get this finally wrapped up.

Again I apologize for the wait, I understand the discontent, I wouldn't be happy either and I'm not happy with how this GB has gone.  All I can do now is apologize again and get those final remaining boards out to you guys over the next two months.  Thank you all.

still waiting...

This was GB'd before I joined the hobby, so my memory isn't as long as your's may be (or other OG users here, especially). Was GSKT-00 the first hyped 60%? Or was the 356mini a big deal when it came out too? (Or some other legendary 60%?)

Mmm, the first "hyped 60%"... Nono, definitely not the first. It was a hyped board because of 356Mini since it's a pretty much the same board, wouldn't know differences though (maybe switch spacing - 356Mini uses 18.95mm instead of 19.05mm center-to-center).

356Mini was/is a big deal as it's one of the OG "custom" ones that came out but I don't remember the specifics if it was a the first. But it's been a "collectors item" for years and one of the first that use o-ring as a mounting style.

Def not the first hyped 60% but this one was hyped because of the exclusivity of it and the people "pushing it". I wanted one really bad when they first started getting sent out to people. Not going to lie, I would still like to have one, but I do think it was hyped a bit more than some of the other GB's

a lot of people hyped this board as it was the first o-ring gasket board that wasn't the 356mini. it's different in a number of ways but the novelty was there. now o-ring is p common so i can see why new ppl might not follow why it was so hyped

It's been 3 years, just forget that you bought one or assume you got scammed. Thats what I did. I'm so convinced I got scammed that if I did get the keyboard, I'd see it as a birthday gift from some anonymous person. The more you expect to get your keyboard, the more disappointed you will be.

I got contacted by Weaston for address change last week, he changed my address and immediately shipped it. I got the tracking number this week so I should be receiving the board soon. He also said he will refund the cerakote cost to my PayPal account, but he hasn't done that yet and hasn't responded to my PMs asking him about it.

made a forced-tsangan-layout plate file based on measurements i took, had it laser cut (via ponoko) in pom and it fits pretty decently (https://imgur.com/a/G4ZzmEi (https://imgur.com/a/G4ZzmEi)). there's about 1mm of possible lateral movement due to some measurements being a little off (tab length slightly too short, tab point radius too small). i'll probably have another plate made after making some minor adjustments, but until then i'll share the current file in case anyone is eager to get a plate made. use at your own risk and all that

Received mine today... Paid for cerakote but apparently that was completely cancelled so now I have an unanodized gskt-00 and no cerakote money.

I guess at least I have something but had to pay import tax on the cerakote money included so got double ****ed on that.

Now to find a use for this since I already have other things.

Are you sure it's unanodized? It's supposed to be silver anodized even if cerakote was cancelled.

Ah I gave every piece a really quick look before I put it back in the bubblewrap. It had a weird reaction to my fingers where it frosts up or whatever in a way I've never seen before so I quickly assumed wrong apparently.

Silver anodized it is. Still sucks because the plates are black.

Can someone please DM me the LLC details that were shared here long ago (please don't post it here publicly as I believe it's against the rules.) Will attempt to pursue legal action, or at the very least report fraud. Thanks in advance.

Honestly it's a pretty bad rule here on GH. You can make anything your place of business, and being able to reference it is a very different thing from doxxing.

It shouldn't be our fault that someone decides to make their home address their place of business, granting them effective protection here since now people have to go through extra hoops to hold a business accountable.

This site does more to protect dishonest runners than it does swindled customers IMO.

Hopefully everyone who hasn't received it yet will get it. From what it looks like, units are still shipping out (or at least recently), maybe this will be 280s where it just takes an insane amount of time. Some people managed to get their e8-v1s after 5 years so who knows, maybe it's a hyperfuse situation idk at this point.

hopefully this cursed project will end on a more positive not I truly don't know.

Not the update post you were looking for, sorry.

I keep receiving DMs every now and then about spare pcbs. I'm going to place an order for some other pcbs, so thought Id check if people still want this and add that to the order. This won't be a group buy, just trying to gauge interest before I order stock.

If you want one, please fill this out. Will keep it open for a week-ish, and if we have more than 25 then place the order.

PCBs are in-stock on https://littlecraftery.com/products/gskt-00-pcb

Those that filled out the IC form earlier have been invoiced and stock set aside for them, rest of the stock is listed on the site. There should be plenty extras, but I don't plan to restock these once these are gone.

Again, I have no stake in this GB other than having designed the PCB, just trying to make sure whoever needs an extra gets one.
