All invoices sent. Please pay ASAP, thank you again for joining.

itsaferbie · « **Reply #151 on:** Thu, 19 May 2016, 21:28:41 »

Paid as soon as the invoice came in. Thanks for this buy!

Skysophrenic · « **Reply #152 on:** Fri, 20 May 2016, 10:31:42 »

Paid! Looking forward!

Thanks for organising!

PriusProblems · « **Reply #153 on:** Fri, 20 May 2016, 11:55:46 »

Paid! Can't wait for it to arrive, this board is going to make me a very happy chappie!

As others have said, thank you very much for running this, and your UK location makes this all the sweeter!

Spreadsheet updated. Couple of people have dropped out without even messaging me which is a shame. I'm trying to keep on top of the spreadsheet as much as possible, so let me know if something is wrong because it might be.

Regarding anodizing, I have to order with the company before they can assess anodizing costs, so this is down the line. I'm definitely getting stuff done so it's whether people that are interested want to wait a bit longer to see what happens on that side of stuff.

xondat · « **Reply #155 on:** Sun, 22 May 2016, 18:08:02 »

A frustrating amount of people have dropped out now, however the spreadsheet has been updated. Payment is due on the 26th and I just sent everyone a reminder over PayPal.

Asbrodeus · « **Reply #156 on:** Mon, 23 May 2016, 06:41:14 »

There's a lot of good [expensive] GBs right now, but everyone should know keyboard money exists outside of your budget!

xondat · « **Reply #157 on:** Tue, 24 May 2016, 05:33:07 »

Just got my PayPal limits removed, so will be ordering parts very soon. Still 12 unpaid invoices which we are currently waiting on before anything can really happen.

xondat · « **Reply #158 on:** Wed, 25 May 2016, 17:16:57 »

8 invoices left - I'll be catching up with those 8 to try and keep this group buy going. I will allow pay extensions, but only if you bring it up with me. I'm not going to wait but I will have extra kits available.

xondat · « **Reply #159 on:** Thu, 26 May 2016, 05:38:35 »

Emailed the final 7 people. I'll be ordering parts tomorrow.

xondat · « **Reply #160 on:** Thu, 26 May 2016, 12:04:37 »

Waiting for 5 people that I suspect won't be joining which will bring the total down to 24 from the 37 originally.

xondat · « **Reply #161 on:** Thu, 26 May 2016, 17:33:42 »

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.

xondat · « **Reply #162 on:** Fri, 27 May 2016, 08:09:53 »

Zealio Switches ordered.

Asbrodeus · « **Reply #163 on:** Fri, 27 May 2016, 12:07:11 »

Phenix · « **Reply #164 on:** Fri, 27 May 2016, 16:20:07 »

a really BIG THANKS to xondat that he let me join the gb! (eventough I was late) Cant wait for this lovely board

xondat · « **Reply #165 on:** Sat, 28 May 2016, 05:31:17 »

Updated the OP to show the status of the parts I'll be ordering. I just paid for the Gateron switches.

xondat · « **Reply #166 on:** Sat, 28 May 2016, 06:35:20 »

Just paid for the parts from Winkeyless (PCBs, Stabilizers and SMDs).

xondat · « **Reply #167 on:** Sat, 28 May 2016, 16:50:21 »

Everything has been ordered. Now we wait!

Ugbash · « **Reply #168 on:** Sat, 28 May 2016, 18:50:30 »

Top work xondatt, really looking forward to putting this together over the summer.

xondat · « **Reply #169 on:** Tue, 31 May 2016, 09:23:54 »

Plates have been made, paying soon and then they'll be shipped.

Spaceman1200 · « **Reply #170 on:** Tue, 31 May 2016, 09:48:32 »

That was quick!

xondat · « **Reply #171 on:** Tue, 31 May 2016, 13:17:16 »

Just paid for plates. Hardware has been dispatched and winkeyless parts are in production.

xondat · « **Reply #172 on:** Wed, 01 June 2016, 06:46:05 »

Hardware arrived a few minutes ago.

What happened with the switch openers from mechanicalkeyboards.com?
Are you offering some/going to order some? I would really like to get them, way more handy

Not trying to be rude, but why don't you just order it yourself? It's 7 bucks and has free shipping.

I'd be surprised if their free shipping covered Germany, where he apparently is. That said, you can just make your own ghetto tools from binder clips pretty easily, and they can be had for much less than $7.

Well the shipping extra would still be added on through the group buy. Either way you are paying the same amount

I won't be offering any as it just makes it one step more complicated for me. Not everyone wants them and they're cheap enough to get anyway.

Phenix · « **Reply #179 on:** Fri, 03 June 2016, 03:28:11 »

Ok. This case ill buid some

Skysophrenic · « **Reply #180 on:** Fri, 03 June 2016, 21:37:48 »

Oh man exciting!

xondat · « **Reply #181 on:** Mon, 06 June 2016, 10:15:45 »

So apparently the last confirmation I got for the plates was that they were made. They've just been marked ready for collection/dispatch so the courier will be picking them up soon which means by the end of the week they should be here.

xondat · « **Reply #182 on:** Mon, 06 June 2016, 11:35:40 »

Just got the notification it has been picked up.

xondat · « **Reply #183 on:** Tue, 07 June 2016, 09:44:52 »

Plates are here! Everything fits perfectly. I've been switch modding with it and I've not even had it an hour.

B1G_B1RD · « **Reply #184 on:** Tue, 07 June 2016, 09:55:30 »

Looking good!

Here is a potato picture of what the final product will look like with keycaps on:

Shados · « **Reply #187 on:** Tue, 07 June 2016, 18:01:04 »

Oooh, didn't realize we were getting notched plates. Even more hyped now.

Skysophrenic · « **Reply #188 on:** Tue, 07 June 2016, 18:01:31 »

-clears throat-

CHEATER! Are the switches sitting in the plates well? Do we have an ETA on the pcb's? Will Goku ever start fighting instead of charging up his spirit bomb!?

Asbrodeus · « **Reply #189 on:** Tue, 07 June 2016, 19:55:58 »

damn this is looking even better than i thought

HMS Roebuck · « **Reply #190 on:** Tue, 07 June 2016, 23:32:36 »

so any chances of you doing a Skeleton Keypad next Xondat? Please!

They fit perfectly in my opinion. Hojin from Winkeyless submitted the order a couple of days ago so with shipping 2-3 weeks.

If I can source the PCBs easily enough then maybe.

Unfortunately no.

Phenix · « **Reply #193 on:** Wed, 08 June 2016, 14:55:44 »

really nice pics xondat!

btw: I assume the pcb does not allow 1.5-1-1.5 bottom row, or?
Im quite confused because in my eyes there are fitting holes for that $:-\$
Has someone info?

See the OP, all layouts shown are supported there.

Looks fantastic dude, color me impressed! Not a fan of the layout or I'd have been in from the start.

Looking forward to whatever you come up with next!

xondat · « **Reply #196 on:** Mon, 13 June 2016, 16:15:19 »

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?

Skysophrenic · « **Reply #198 on:** Fri, 17 June 2016, 15:41:26 »

I asked last week, probably another week before he gets the PCB's, then after that it'll be testing/assembly/shipping. Probably another 3 weeks at least.

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.
