Just curious? What switches are you guys planning to put on these? I used Cherry Browns my whole life and would like to try heavier switches. 67g Zealios or 80g Aliaz from kbdfans? I want it to be silent as well.


I知 going to go with R9 78g zealios I think, or if I can justify it I値l make some Zilent Pandelios.

I'm tryin to justify also if I wanted to go with the 67g r9 blue Zilent Zealios switches. $1.05 per switch.

Ill be put in in Hako clears

I'm totally regretting not having gone in on the hako gb. This is what I want to be doing. Congrats on getting in on them

Try putting the stem and spring in a Panda housing with a light lubing....possibly the best tactile switch available IMO

Would it be possible to see pics of the plates and their different colors?

No sorry. Since they are all simple colors and no photos of them. :)

what does the lightbar do? can they be indicator lights or are the just for show?

If your light bar is open on default layer, it shows animations.
If's it's off, the color will change by switch to different layers. :D

You can decrease the brightness easily by setting up some function keys.

QMK has been tested. No problem. ;D

Oh, also if it really bothered you, in theory you could attach some adhesive backed foam to the PCB around the leds. Either strips cut to the right size, or if you wanted to be perfect, a sheet cutout with an xacto knife. As long as you got the thickness right the plate would compress it and seal a bunch of the light. You could also do the same thing to the plate/topcase and then it should block almost all of it.

I don't think I've *ever* seen anything offered in brown before. 
I feel like it's going to look absolutely BONKERS with GMK camping!

My R2 coffee brown came in today for reference sake (and cos I知 stoked to have it in my hands!) is quite dark but should colour match really well with SA Chocolatier

Yes, but you need to mod directly from 32U4.

There are some space available but don't know how much you need.

If you missed it, there's a link in the first post to a spreadsheet of everyone's choices:

https://goo.gl/EpCgDE

Of the 114 CA66s ordered so far, 16 of them are dark red.  Of those 16, 7 have a silver plate, 7 have a gold plate, and 2 have a red plate.  14 of us also ordered the optional brass plate.

(mine is dark red with a silver plate, plus the optional brass plate)

Blue doesn't look as good as I hoped it would. People who want to put GMK Laser on this puppy - Are you going with Purple or Grey for the case colour? I'm leaning towards Grey since it's a more versatile colour.

I don't think attempting to match the dominant colour of a set (with the main exceptions being beige and black) to the case one is going to use it with is ever a good idea. I think black, grey, even silver (seeing as it is matte) are all better options for Laser than purple is, just my opinion though. I think the idea colour for a case for Laser however is bubblegum/neon pink, which may potentially be able to be achieved by anodising but probably best had via powdercoat; for example TKC's upcoming painted 1800 kits.
