It may have been asked/stated already, but are the stabilisers going to be Cherry or Costar?

I've been thinking of doing a 60% skeleton kit, not sure if that interests you.

Maybe a round 2 with anodizing or something, we'll see. If I do R2 75% then I don't want it to be exactly the same.

Already designed a 75% CNC thing, although it's a fully custom keyboard so around the $400 mark depending on the amount of people.

My board hasn't even been made yet and I'm thinking of ways to mod it...Are there any ways to add some "flesh" to this kit? Would it be possible to use shorter spacers, and maybe an acrylic layer to fill out the gap?

The shortest spacer might be 8mm, 9 would be getting uncomfortable but 10 would be fine. It's possible to have the acrylic layer made - I'm going to be making the file this week before I go away.

I also joined that pre-order, but had to pull out when I realised that it is missing one of the bare-necessary ISO keys (~/#), despite having the enter. I could understand if it was missing the |/\ key, since some layouts have ISO enter but a long left shift, but the lack of an extra R3 (even blank) is inexplicable.

Sorry for lack of updates because of my trip. I came home to everything from Zeal and Hojin of Winkeyless. The only thing missing is Gateron switches from sherryton due to a translation issue with his supplier.

I just have to buy a soldering iron and then get cracking. So first orders will start shipping once I find some decent boxes (which is more difficult than I bloody thought).

EDIT: I have soldered several boards before, I just need to buy a new soldering iron.

Who knew kitkats were a critical component of mechanical keyboards?

Also, the FX-888D is a pretty good choice for keyboard soldering, although for non-keyboard uses it can have some problems working with larger thermal mass components.

Ordering parts tomorrow, I cancelled the remaining invoices. Plates should take a few days to be made and to arrive so sneak shots will be coming soon.

Parts were all ordered on 5/27 but we don't have an update saying you have them all almost 2 months later.  Did you not order them all as you stated?


Update 4 - 5/1/2016
Some complications have arisen when I was trying to get my PayPal limits increased. This means that my account will not be able to have the limit increased until approximately the 20th of May. It isn't all bad news, as I'm still able to go up to the limit. Following this news, a couple of things will happen:

1) I will reopen the group buy until I am able to increase the limit.
2) Anybody that is interested in anodizing both plates will be able to pay, you should message me able this.
3) The estimated shipping dates will change - looking at mid June now.

I wish there was more I could do, but I can't. I apologise for this.

If there are any problems, please let me know as soon as possible so we can work something out.


Update 5 - 5/20/2016

All invoices were sent by the end of the 19th, therefore all must be paid for by the 26th. If anyone has any issues, please get in touch. I'll be ordering parts as soon as everyone has paid or on the 27th, depending on which comes first.

Ordering was delayed because of Paypal.  Ship date changed to mid June.  It is now mid July and we still don't have the parts let alone the keyboards actually shipped.

No update. PCBs are in production. I'm still alive. Everything seems well.
Do you have an ETA on the pcbs so we can get an idea of how long this delay will be?
I'm expecting them to ship next week.

FYI I will be away for a week on the 28th for my 2 year anniversary with my girlfriend but the PCBs will still be delivered as others are at home. I'll be having a days rest after I get back and then cranking out 3/4 PCBs a day.

You stated after every delay so far that you would begin on them after your vacation.  You state that you were leaving for a week on the 28th.  That would have mean starting the keyboards would have started on ~6th of July.  Let's assume you took an extra long vacation and stayed the next weekend until the 10th.  This would mean starting Monday the 11th you would start doing 3/4 a day as you stated you would.  As of yesterday you should have 24 boards done using your low number of 3 a day.

Sometime today you should have finished the 25th board and every one should be done. 

Are they being shipped in the next few days or are there lies in your posts?  Where did you mess up?  When can we expect what we paid for or should we be reaching out to paypal for refunds?

I think I clearly posted I have all the parts apart from the switches due to an error out of my control.

To answer the some of your comment:
  • Shipping was delayed due to a lot of underestimations on my part.
  • I don't have a soldering iron yet, and 22 want it done for free - including you.

Are they being shipped in the next few days or are there lies in your posts?  Where did you mess up?  When can we expect what we paid for or should we be reaching out to paypal for refunds?
2 orders will go out in the next week as I'm waiting on boxes at the minute. I personally did not mess up, but this group buy was hurt when 15+ people dropped out. You can expect your orders shipped as soon as I've finished the soldering. If you reach out to PayPal for a refund then you have to understand that I stated that assembled orders will take longer, and that you agreed to that.

At this point I'd be happy to go back on my word and charge people for soldering but I'm not going to do that, you'll just have to wait.

    • Shipping was delayed due to a lot of underestimations on my part.
    • I don't have a soldering iron yet, and 22 want it done for free - including you.
    2 orders will go out in the next week as I'm waiting on boxes at the minute.

    I personally did not mess up

    I count 3 mess ups on your part right there.  So why lie again in a half assed response.  You messed up by underestimating.  You messed up by not having a soldering iron. You messed up by not ordering boxes. 

    I'm quickly realizing why 15+ people dropped out

    At this point I'd be happy to go back on my word and charge people for soldering but I'm not going to do that, you'll just have to wait.

    Also I think this single line alone should be enough to disqualify you from ever running another group buy on this site.  You are threatening to change the offer just because you are being called out for your numerous mistakes.

    I've updated the spreadsheet to represent the order in which parts will be shipped in.

    I'll admit I could've thought things through better but mistakes are and have been made. It's been 2 months since I took payment, things could be a lot worse.

    That's cute.  Putting me to last because I called you out on your mistakes
