These bits in red get in the way if you just take the top of the switch off (the plate needs to go under them in other words). Unless there's some way I'm missing to push the plate under these they'll need to be desoldered.

Well.. crap. Guess I'm going to have to learn how to desolder...or you may see my plate in the classifieds heh.

mosrael · « **Reply #252 on:** Fri, 01 June 2012, 11:32:07 »

Desoldering is easy enough with a desoldering pump or braid (my preferred method). It'll be time consuming, but it's probably worth the project.

This group buy is closed!

jblack801 · « **Reply #255 on:** Mon, 04 June 2012, 18:12:24 »

Closed = one step closer to getting my plate mount.

WRXChris · « **Reply #256 on:** Tue, 05 June 2012, 04:33:28 »

sad that i didn't get an order in for a plate

I was indecisive about the gb since i already have 2 pokers, and should have just ordered a plate. Anyone who bought a plate not realizing that you have to desolder every switch want to sell me theirs?

mkawa · « **Reply #257 on:** Tue, 05 June 2012, 09:13:34 »

i might have an extra

metafour · « **Reply #259 on:** Fri, 08 June 2012, 17:51:57 »

Looks like I'm not going to use the plates I ordered. Busted out the soldering iron today and it looks like removing the LEDs and switches is more work than I want to put into putting a plate onto a keyboard I'm already pretty satisfied with.

rknize · « **Reply #260 on:** Fri, 08 June 2012, 17:56:55 »

Id be interested in buying one of them, if you are looking to sell them.

WRXChris · « **Reply #261 on:** Fri, 08 June 2012, 19:53:23 »

Me too if mkawa doesn't end up having an extra!

metafour · « **Reply #262 on:** Fri, 08 June 2012, 20:08:10 »

1 is spoken for at this time. The other one is available if either of you would like it. Just shoot me a PM and I'll reserve it for you. You can pay me when they come in and then pay iMav directly for shipping I would imagine.

They're now both spoken for. I'll PM you both when I receive the PM from iMav that he has received them. Thanks!

mosrael · « **Reply #263 on:** Wed, 13 June 2012, 00:31:32 »

Hmm. I'm really not sure if anyone would be down for this, but I have an extra plate and would gladly trade it (plus some cash?) for a spare PCB. Throwin' it out there.

mkawa · « **Reply #264 on:** Wed, 13 June 2012, 17:05:36 »

i'd also prefer to trade my extra plate for a spare PCB. but, we'll have to see when they come in, as i was hoping it could be easily modified to fit the pure, in which case i won't actually have an extra plate..

tadbitnerdy · « **Reply #265 on:** Wed, 13 June 2012, 20:21:16 »

If anyone wants it, I ordered one plate and now I'm selling it. I'm not getting my Poker or aluminum case anymore due to unforeseen financial issues. Please PM me and we can work out the details if you are interested.

Thanks,

Tad

Anyone have and extra PCB they are willing to sell? I'd love to buy one.

MMB · « **Reply #269 on:** Sat, 16 June 2012, 10:18:50 »

I am looking for an extra set if anyone has one. PM me.

mkawa · « **Reply #270 on:** Sat, 16 June 2012, 10:54:37 »

will there actually be extra pcbs available? i kind of get the feelig that we ended up mostly ordering plates and not
many kits

jdcarpe · « **Reply #271 on:** Fri, 22 June 2012, 12:43:46 »

So many people wanting only PCBs and so few kits actually ordered. I'm almost sorry I brought up the idea initially, when I offered to solder boards in exchange for an extra PCB. Definitely not the purpose of this project.

Maybe someone could contact Vortex and ask if we can do a GB for PCBs only (with the electronics mounted, of course). I don't think we even need to do an interest check for that one.

I kinda want to do the soldering myself, it seems like a fun project

rknize · « **Reply #273 on:** Fri, 22 June 2012, 12:53:33 »

The extra PCB was the final nudge I needed to order this one.

jcrouse · « **Reply #274 on:** Sun, 24 June 2012, 20:16:00 »

What is the status of these?

BossBorot · « **Reply #275 on:** Thu, 19 July 2012, 22:53:03 »

any update on the status of this?

rknize · « **Reply #276 on:** Sat, 21 July 2012, 00:41:58 »

Last I heard there was still no ETA from Vortex.

Wibox · « **Reply #277 on:** Wed, 25 July 2012, 08:12:34 »

Is this the same kit we're getting? Saw it on the KBD group buy forum. It has a plate..

alaricljs · « **Reply #278 on:** Wed, 25 July 2012, 08:19:28 »

Somehow I doubt that's the case, but a plate was on the list of separately available items.

I just thought it might be because the case appears to be an official vortex case.

rknize · « **Reply #280 on:** Wed, 25 July 2012, 10:44:22 »

Vortex is always fiddling with custom stuff instead of fulfilling orders. Good for Korea, I guess.

BossBorot · « **Reply #281 on:** Sun, 29 July 2012, 20:16:46 »

That is a Korean case that was available for group buy on deskthority a week or so ago. It costs quite a bit more compared to this kit.

Wibox · « **Reply #284 on:** Wed, 08 August 2012, 14:53:42 »

I wonder if we'll get the kits before R4 ships. Is there any way to nudge Vortex on this gb?

iMav · « **Reply #285 on:** Sun, 02 September 2012, 08:57:57 »

Vortex has gone silent on me regarding this order (as well as the keycaps for the RACE order).

I am hounding them...but I have no idea what the outcome will be.

I will pass along updates as I get them.

Wibox · « **Reply #286 on:** Mon, 03 September 2012, 00:20:45 »

Hopefuly we don't lose out on our money :S

We'll see if this holds up. Finally got a response from them...

Hi

Shipping date will be in 10/29 or 10/30

Note. That is shipping TO me. If all goes well, then I would start shipping out to YOU mid-November.

alaricljs · « **Reply #289 on:** Tue, 23 October 2012, 14:32:48 »

Wow... back from the dead for Halloween?

jcrouse · « **Reply #290 on:** Tue, 23 October 2012, 14:35:00 »

Now we need treble328 to return with our extra cases. Has anyone heard how he's doing getting setup?

rknize · « **Reply #291 on:** Tue, 23 October 2012, 15:00:43 »

I was wondering about this in light of the recent Poker GB.

he's quite easy to contact. he thinks the machines will get set up in mid-november at the earliest. note that our products are made during machine downtime, so that doesn't mean production will start then. best to talk to him if you'd like more information.

jcrouse · « **Reply #293 on:** Tue, 23 October 2012, 16:07:30 »

Yeah, wasn't as worried about my case as hoping he is doing well. i had a few things in the works with him and was just hoping the best for him.

mkawa · « **Reply #294 on:** Wed, 24 October 2012, 23:12:52 »

last i talked to him, they were getting by on some side-jobs, but definitely hurting

unfortunately it's going to be quite difficult to be in the situation his shop is in regardless..

So, these were in iMav's hands on 11/6/2012. The time is now getting close.
