Just gonna leave this here..

Wow, this looks nice! Reminds me that I want to try some kind of tactile switch again.

These Alps need a home!

Let me just show what I'm using atm. It is the standard SKB60 of which I had posted pics here. The box jade switches are the updated version but I still wasn't comfortable putting GMK caps onto them. I switched to super cheap and thin Tai Hao ABS double shots. It won't be a huge loss in case the stems break. No high-end DSLR pics, just phone and bad lighting to emphasizes the dirt this SKB has already collected. I know those pics are not sexy at all, but they are honest :)

Humble-flexing with potato pics of dirty SKB with cheap TaiHao... While we thirst for our own to dirty up and do bad things to.

I don't really get how it's still possible to accept orders. Wouldn't it be better to focus on getting the first orders out and deal with extras after the GB?

I'll explaine it to you. I have gotten quite a few more cases than all of you have ordered (like mentioned a few times already). The reason for that is that I wanted to have some backup cases if some get lost on the way and that I can simply sell a few more. Selling the rest does not require me to do any sort of labor. all that happenes is someone fills out the order form and gets an invoice in return. of course this will be fullfilled after all others that have ordered before. I hope this explains why it is still possible to order.

I hope you will wait with cashing in and shipping out extras until after you're sure you don't get any (more) RMAs.

Just learning about this (newbie on Geekhack) and put in an order for an SKB75 in hopes that there are any left available! Fantastic design and would love for this to be my first build.

Interesting. This home needs some Alps! :cool:

Yeah, had some spare white alps lying around and laserboost was having a sale... so I learned plate design, handwiring and the art of soldering wires (much harder than switches for some reason).

And now I get to use these cool vintage keycaps from a 5140 and FK-5001

Too lazy to read the thread? There has only been one production run, later orders are filled with extras. You may recieve it a little later depending on the order of fulfillment by PlastikSchnittstelle.

It's 20 pages of scattered conversations and non-sequiturs. I'm too lazy to read it and I joined the GB at the start.

These days I spend all my spare time with packing. In the start it turned out to be quite difficult. Went back to my spreadsheet in order to make a usefull print out just for packing. Before, I had different types of data spread over different sheets - data that I now need to be in one sheet. Now I know it is better to keep all the data in one sheet and if you need just some of it, you rather use a filter.
Will have to order more bubble wrap soon :)

So are you packing everything and then sending it in one big batch? Or mailing everything little by little as it gets packed?

I want to pack all, then send the confirmation emails (I have already contacted a few, but only some where I see the need to make sure before I close the box), then print and attach the shipping lables, then bring everything to the postal service.
If the space will be too small for all the boxes, I'll have to start sending out packages before all cases are packed, not sure about this jet.

Post office is going to hate you if you bring in 80 heavy boxes for postage.  It's your process, do it however works best for you.  But if it was me I'd probably try to divide it up into 3 or 4 smaller trips.

Unless he's doing some sort of bulk shipping kind of setup. Batches is always a good idea though, in case something happens to one batch, others will be unaffected.

the case is very roomy, in terms of fit there are no issues with any PCB. you also don't have to worry about screw hole positions like you would have to check if you'd buy a tray mount case. the SKB is top mount, so the screw holes in the PCB is something you don't need to bother about at all. You just need to make sure the layout you want is supported by the plate that comes with the SKB (all in the start post). the layout of the the DZ65RGB is supported, it is pretty standard 65% layout. I got this one, but it is not available at the moment. will build me another nice SKB65 with this when shipping is done :)

Paying cheaper cuase you paid earlier is overrated. The whole point of this is to help something come to fruition, while getting something in return, not paying cheap IMHO.

Awesome - good 65% PCBs are rare. I didn't know TA-65 existed and it appears to be out of stock. Either way, I have an incoming dz65rgb which will fit perfectly now. thanks for doing this - this is super awesome!

He is freely sharing plate files, and I am having a custom plate cut at some point. Depending on what others also do, there may be some easy ways to get in on a mini group order of plates.

Laserboost is very communicative and is trying to grow their reach to mech keyboards, and their reps are very friendly. If someone wants to start a small plate buy, they should check how many plates LB would need for a volume discount.
