[GB][FINISHED] Mekanisk Group Buy / LeandreN round 5

[jmdaly]

Thanks for the offer though, we might need it.

The moq is based on the total

No prob, thanks for the quick reply!

[duynguyenle]

Hey!

We definetily need some more orders to get these PCBs to go through MOQ.

Keep spreading the word about the group buy!

I am talking to some vendors that might help.

Mint is the most popular colour.

Thanks!


LeandreN

Hi Leandre, have you got any pictures of what the mint green PCB lookds like (I would like to see what shade of green it is mainly), I was thinking of getting a white one as it's the safe option, but mainly because I'm unsure what the green one is gonna look like.

So does the PCB and Universal Plate support pcb mounted cherry stabs?

Im trying to decide if I should get the PCB mount transparent cherry stabilizers or the plate mounted costar ones on massdrop

Universal plates never supports plate mounted stabs. Get PCB mount stabs

[LeandreN]

Thanks for all the support!

Keep the orders coming!

[Owntrolf]

Do you know what the universal steel sandblasted plate looks like?

Go on his website, I think he has some leftover plates from the previous buy, there should be a picture there.

[Owntrolf]

Just one last question is how much is shipping
*edit im dumb


So after I submit, all I just need to do is wait for invoices or something

[Owntrolf]

So I'm going to just wildly guess that shipping would probably be in I dunno 2-4 months or so

Regretting not getting my number pad from you at the same time as my custom 75%+1 plate. All these GBs are for pre-designed plates.
Know I'll be first to join if you ever do another custom plate GB.

Can we get the orders chart like in round 4?

[Owntrolf]

It would be cool if there was like a MOQ countdown or something

[LeandreN]

Yes, I will get it added soon, when I have time.

[LeandreN]

Hey! Here is the chart for those that where wondering how we are currently doing.

I have been talking to some vendors that will probably join in on this. We need 100 total PCBs on this chart, and we should be pretty much good to go.

As said, I am working on some things to market this group buy.

[AKmalamute]

Buying too many things to have funds for a board -- though mint blue sounds intriguing. But I'm in for a plate or two. Might have ordered stabs too I forget.

[duynguyenle]

Hi Leandre, I seem to have lost track of this GB duration, how much longer do you plan to leave the order form open? I'm a bit short on cash at the moment 

Thank you!

Bought a Mint PCB, just to support Mekanisk.

You can email me at "support@mekanisk.co" if you are unsure about your order.

Thank you!

I need to have it open until MOQ is met, so a few more weeks is likely.

Fantastic, thanks!

[Melanic]

Just wondering, is the steel used in the plate of a stainless variety?

[gaiden]

Hi guys i have a few questions hopefully someone here can help answering.

1) I'm torn between a Winkey and HHKB. I have never owned or used a HHKB style board before but intrigued by the idea. I liked the symmetrical layout and the corners show a bit of the color from the plate. Winkey has more keys and on a programmable board that means something to me. Can anyone suggest one style over the other? And why?

2) In your opinion, what is the best alum case and acrylic case for this board?

3) @LeandreN have you had any trouble with orders shipped untracked to US in any of your rounds?

Thanks guys

So when can we expect the shipping/invoicing date?

I will say that HHKB is more popular, but I don't really.use the layout myself, so it's kind of difficult for me to say.

2) In your opinion, what is the best alum case and acrylic case for this board?

I do think TEX cases will fit without problems, since there are no LEDs mounted. I'll check it up.


3) @LeandreN have you had any trouble with orders shipped untracked to US in any of your rounds?

Yes, once to nonconus USA. I don't think I have had any other problems in any of the 400+ packages I have sent to the USA.

Thanks guys

Order placed for a mint blue NerD60 PCB.

Order placed for a mint blue NerD60 PCB.

Thanks!!

[dyoungc]

I placed a pre-order for one plate, but I'd like to make a change.
There's no confirmation email or number to identify the order, is it possible make changes or should I place a new one to override it?

Also, are the stabilizers plate or PCB mount?

Universal plates are always pcb mount due to the nature of the cut-outs

But the stablizers are pcb mount and switches can be plate mount?

Yes. Typically you install pcb mount stabs first then lay plate on top and install the switches through the plate onto the pcb.

Yes stabilisers have to be pcb mount, but you can use both pcb or plate mount switches, no problem there!

I just realized I'd like to add to my order. Should I just run a second order form?

What's the usual cost of shipping of 2 plates and 1pcb for international? I would like to check if my budget fits.

[xondat]

What's the usual cost of shipping of 2 plates and 1pcb for international? I would like to check if my budget fits.

It's pretty cheap - a PCB is $4 from Norway to the UK (just for scale).

I hope it would be that cheap when the destination is in Asia.

In for all the things! Will be my first custom board! 

[jackie321304]

I was trying to find the info about when will this ship? Thanks.

[graefeln]

Decided to build another board to accommodate Skeletor - long story short, in for a mint PCB!

[Geckt]

@LeandreN: When is the expiry for your R5 GB?

What is the silkscreen color? Black? Black + Mint would look great.

I'm interested in maybe adding a white PCB... what silkscreen would that be? Any chance you will do black? Stock GON right now is blue, and I don't like how that looks

Don't place a new order, just email me at support@mekanisk.co 

[LeandreN]

As Xondat said, just the shipping to the UK is 4$ for a PCB. With some material costs on top and international shipping, shipping internationally will cost abou 10-15$ USD for what you have listed.

Still cheap in Asia. There are some differentiation between places, but it should not me more than 20$.
