GH60 Group Buy (Salvage Mode: Enabled - Update in OP)

[Dsan]

Will ordering switches delay the shipment,or will they be ready when the shipment of the keyboards will start?Also,are the switches pcb or plate mounted?

if using plate, both pcb and plate mounted switches can be used.
if not using a plate, only use pcb mounted switches

Yeah I know this,maybe I didn't ask it properly.I want to know if the switches offered in the group buy are plate or pcb mounted

[mkaito]

Both are offered, I believe. Just specify in the order which kind you want.

[llovro]

does gh60 have reattachable usb cable or how does it work?

does gh60 have reattachable usb cable or how does it work?

PCB has a mini USB plug. You need to find a cable on your own. Mimic's cables seem to be quite popular, but I guess any A-MiniB cable will work, if you happen to have one lying around.

oh okay, thanks

Those space bar wires, can anyone explain if they're required for cherry stabs on an ISO 1.25x?

You would need a 6.25 spacebar wire

How would one change my order, especially as its not listed on the front page as an order-able item?

[jdcarpe]

If you need to change an order, just submit a new order, and in the comments write "cancel my old order."

Just specify the wire size along with the stab set order.

[pix3l_fodder]

yep done that with the updated order, followed instructions from last page.

[Winther]

What would be the spacebar wire size for the ISO 1.25 plate? 6.25 right?

Do you guys have a standard wire size if its not specified in the order?

[jspark]

I don't know how much and where to pay. Please send me the invoice or can you provide any functionality to see what I really ordered?
Thanks

Read the thread.  All that info was posted

Can we get MX Green switches?

[jdcarpe]

Can we get MX Green switches?

You can get Red, Blue, Brown, Black, Green, or (Light) Grey.

Plate mount or PCB mount.

Plate mount or PCB mount.

Adding grease to the stem of a Green would basically be a ghetto white, correct?

There isn't any clear switches ? Because I ordered some.

Check the group buys section. There is a clear group buy.

[jdcarpe]

If you order MX Whites or Clears from this GB, we will most likely have to submit the order for those to 7bit, after his preorder sale is over. Expect higher prices and delayed shipping.

Ordered ANSI 1.5x plate with blue switches, really love the HHKB layout with the normal RSHIFT

[miscsubbin]

Can I get a PM confirming my order update?

[Dsan]

Ordered Can someone please tell me if what I wrote on the comment section is possible?Thank you

[4814]

Quick question:
Am I able to use six 1.25x instead of the four 1.5x and the two 1x(?) keys on the bottom row with the Ansi 1.5x-Plate? If yes, does it affect the spacebar/stabilizer?
And if I buy the switches from 7bit (sorry... but I want white ones ) and don't want the assembly service, it is recommend to let him sent the switches directly to me. Am I right?

BTW ty for this great group buy! Really looking forward to my GH60

Edit: Think I got it... I could use six 1.25x but I would need a 7.5x Spacebar which seems to be pretty rare...

[jdcarpe]

Can I get a PM confirming my order update?

You can check it yourself here:

Here are your orders. I think from now on, if you need to change an order, just submit a new order, fill now the order change sheet to delete old order. That's faster than us manually changing stuff. But in the new order, put in the comments section "new updated order". Use Ctrl + F and search for yourself since there are a lot of entries.

red  = GH PCB
green = plates

Yes, we can do that. Don't you want your name on the package if it gets delivered to your office, so they know who the package is for?

No, not the way you are thinking. The spacing is off and won't work with the switch mounts on the PCB. You can use 7x 1.25u mods with a 6.25u spacebar, just like a Poker.

Someone just pointed me at massdrop when I asked about group buy platforms. I assume you've seen it, and decided it's no good for this. Would you mind sharing your reasoning?

[Dsan]

Yes, we can do that. Don't you want your name on the package if it gets delivered to your office, so they know who the package is for?

The secretary knows it's for me so it's not needed in my end,but I don't know if it's required to ship the package.I received an USPS package from EliteKeyboards without name on it,not sure how it works with other postage services.Sorry to bother you,you replied a question I made on the poker acrylic case,but since I can't speak English very well I wonder if I understood the answer correctly.Universal ANSI plate + Acrylic GH60 Poker(from acrylic case) will be ok together,right? Sorry again,just want to be sure

I was actually approached by someone from Massdrop, and I'll tell you what I told them: I think our GB is just too complex in logistics for them to package it in any way that makes sense.

Yes, just fine, as long as you remembered to order the Cherry PCB mount stabilizers.
Also, being international, I'm pretty sure we will have to put some name on the customs form.

Thank you so much
Do I need to update the order by myself?

[boost]

HOLY ****...430+ PCB's ordered.

[jdcarpe]

Thank you so much

No, you did it right already.

HOLY ****...430+ PCB's ordered.

Yes, so far. 50 of those are for imsto, but still!

[GeorgeK]

I'm having it either way but is the part assembled PCB $30 (as in the first post) or $40 (as on the order form)?  Also, seriously, b****r the DIY kit - that looks impossible!  Especially for the sake of $5 but even for $15!

It's $30.

And it's not impossible, just improbable!

[aggiejy]

Question... I placed a switch order with 7bit for some Whites and put "GH60" on it. However, I don't want to hold up my Gh60 order if it's ready before the switches. (They aren't my only switches, so most impt to get my Gh60s first!)

So the question is: should I ask to add direct shipping to my 7bit order, or would I have the option of paying you guys additional shipping to proxy the switches later?

Thanks!

[eon]

Does the HHKB plate still has a bottom row for 1.5 1 1.5 7 1.5 1 .15 ? I'm quite confused with this plate, it's tagged as "true" HHKB in the order confirmation page. Wondering if things have changed.

Thanks.

That makes the pre-assembled option all the more appealing in my eyes - $5 to avoid all that hassle!  Even the Ergo Dox is all through hole (at least it looks that way) and that looks complicated to build...

Thanks for getting back to me

If it were me, I would just have 7bit direct ship those switches to you. The GH60 shipping tag is more for people who need assembly.

Yes, that is still the layout. The other HHKB layout with the 6u spacebar is just for a few of us fools who may want that option with a case, and has nothing to do with any plates offered in this GB.

Couple of questions pertaining to the spreadsheet...
One, the row 2 is hidden in the spreadsheet, is that my order? One, who's order is row 2? Is that JCrouse, Halverson etc that don't have any orders submitted?
Two, a couple of users have had nothing in their order, ones that popped out at me were Jcrouse, Halverson, and Longweight to name a few... That seems to be a slight problem?
Three, is the form auto updating? If so, I don't see my order. (Placed by Prdlm2009, but shipping to me) EDIT: I'm a dummy. I see it now.

[GeorgeK]

Longweight has definitely cancelled his order if it helps...

Row 2 is private. It's just order totals.
The users with nothing in their order have placed new updated orders. So I had to delete those old orders. But I don't delete rows from the spreadsheet, just in case something goes wrong. It's nothing for you to worry about.
I see the order. In the public spreadsheet. Maybe you are typing his username wrong? The "comments" field is also private.

Gotcha, I edited my post after I realized my mistakes etc. Thank ya. BTW look at IMSTO go. 50 DIY kits.

[pix3l_fodder]

Sorry about this but I resubmitted my order again, bought another due to the price reducing to $30 I was unable to find the spacebar wire length for HHKB so added a comment. Hope i've not complicated matters.

[WhiteFireDragon]

I just updated the remaining order changes that were submitted up to this point. Jdcarpe did most of them though

And please no more PMs for order changes. It will get buried to the next page within 2 days and I won't remember. Just fill the form. I also hid a lot of the rows in the public confirmation form. Don't worry about those, they're just duplicate orders from changes, so your name doesn't show up twice.

Elton, please just submit a new order. You changed your order 8 times, sometimes adding stuff and sometimes changing stuff. Too confusing so just submit a new order.

I have a semi-important update soon...

[Jocelyn]

I have a semi-important update soon...

Hmmmm I was about to submit my order, but I guess I'll wait a little longer

[fydo]

Phew, finally got around to filling out my order. This is an exciting project!

The suspense!

Haha.

I originally had some very irrational ideas going through my head like a free Aluminum Case for anyone who bought a full kit!! ROFL

[Dubsgalore]

semi-important updates

let's hear em 

[WhiteFireDragon]

I'm currently rendering all the additional layouts and I'm posting them one by one as they finish. Look at the OP for now. Takes a bit of setup time for each one :/

Basically just some price updates, PCB, plates, layouts, etc.

[Jmneuv]

Thank you.
Looks like most of the plates don't support off center spacebar (cherry); Would a wider slot weaken the support too much to allow for plate mount?
