Would love that FingerSK, with a plate, and in an Alu case... or Poly, with the led's shining through...

I'd also buy a FingerSK if the case was available as well.

Any idea what cases the FingerSK would fit into, and what bottom row layouts are supported?

MX-Mini compatible cases, and I believe I linked the layout info earlier

Thanks, just read through that link.  It's looking more and more enticing!

LZ has mentioned the acrylic cases will be prepared "at another time/shortly"

That said this GB will be extended one more week till September 7th.

Does that mean the case will not be offered as a part of this group buy and will be separate? Or will it be ready in time for this group buy.

Also isn't 7th of September reducing the GB? It was previously stated that it ended on the 12th of September

Can i just get a confirmation that the FingerSK supports the same split spacebar bottom row as the FingerUP/L3?

Honestly, this thread is a bit of a mess. Could you update the OP to include more details on the PCBs and options?

Edit: No offense meant, it's just hard to find the information needed for an informed purchase.

So the official end date is the 7th, not the 12th as stated in the OP? Will the case be made available before the buy closes, or at least pictures?

What would it cost for a FingerUp PCB (65%) with diodes and resistors pre-soldered (everything needed bar switches and leds) shipped to Australia?

Also is there any plates being made?

I have to say I've found this gb a little confusing, but still very interested in a 65% keyboard.

Placed an order for the FingerSK (75%) with sethk_ soldering.  Now to wait for the case to become available...is it going to be sandwich-style?

Placed the same order as above

If they were through hole i'd have done it myself, but i'm not so sure about all the SMD...

Question: Will there be custom AEK2 cases available for the PCB, or is this just intended to be a swap into AEK2 cases?

Unfortunately, I only have an AEKI, so it might not be compatible even though I think they would be similar enough, but the angles are different. I would like something to put my Orange Alps into.

First off, sorry for the delayed responses, I've been on a business trip, Leeku (Eric) will be invoicing everyone when production is ready. Currently the expected date is by the 19th.

First off I messed up a bit, FingerUP is the original 75% name, it's the same thing but in this variation it will say FingerSK, Finger is the 65%. I will update all orders and confirm before invoices go out.



So im a little confused. Its the 8th and i havent received an invoice even though I put in my order? is the invoice date still the 7th?

Now around the 15th- last day would be 19th

I just caught up with the thread. is this actually ended? The date in the OP is different than what's been stated in the comments.


Yeah sorry I forgot to update OP. It's retroactive depending on when I can actually get a better idea of the cases, since I imagine it would be nicer for some people to be able to get a case at the same time, or at least more information, I'm glad a lot of people have gone ahead and ordered!

It's made to be put into an old AEK2 case, and would be programmable, sadly no custom will be made for it in the meantime..

Does anyone know what plate would work with the FingerUp?
I messed up a bit on the name, all the plates from the previous 65% GB have been bought out, there is a chance there might be another run soon, but in the meanwhile I don't have an answer for it

UPDATE:

ORDERS WILL BE POSTPONED FOR A WHILE, acrylic cases are in development for both the 75% and 65%! (no ETA but it will happen)

IF YOU REALLY WANT YOUR ORDER OF JUST PCBS PLEASE SUBMIT AGAIN

MESSAGE ME IF YOU WANT YOUR ORDER.

Sorry everyone, But I think this is better, and we can see a case+plate+pcb in the future too!
