Yeah, I'd love to have a few extra days for my check to come in

TheProfosist · « **Reply #201 on:** Mon, 07 January 2013, 22:03:21 »

yes were still waiting on a quote for the plates sorry

and thanks for clarifying that for me jdcarpe

i would not recommend trying to use the PLU's plate it may not align perfectly.

no the form will be up for one week, sorry about all of the wait id have it up if I could.

and no the phantom is not full led compatible.

I would like you to built mine also ... I got two phantoms on the order. Any chance of getting a nice aluminum case for it? I wanted the MKS one, but was too late for the group buy. Any idea?

nebo · « **Reply #206 on:** Tue, 08 January 2013, 13:14:00 »

The MKC one might not be compatible and I think only 6 total were made/sold. There are quite a few cases in the work, just have to see which ones come out and fit your needs and budget. I doubt they will be out in time for the GB nor included. It should only take 10 minutes and a flathead or allan wrench to install the PCB with switches into a case.

gizzard · « **Reply #207 on:** Tue, 08 January 2013, 22:42:36 »

Don't suppose there is pricing on plu switch removal and case modding without assembly? Want to leave the hard stuff for you and enjoy the easy part myself

KuhnTang · « **Reply #208 on:** Wed, 09 January 2013, 00:34:14 »

I want to order some stabilizers and switches, where is the order form?

So that I ensure I'm in before this closes, I want:

1 set cherry stabalizers
1 set costar stabalizers
180 clears
15 mx DarkGrey
10 mx White

Glod · « **Reply #209 on:** Wed, 09 January 2013, 01:51:07 »

A form will be up when he is done acquiring pricing. A new closing date will be set as well.

A bit noobish and awkward question but how hard would it be to move everything (by everything I mean pcb with switches and all the other stuff) from plu case to other case?
Thanks in adcance!

If you know how to solder, not too hard at all. If not, you may have some difficulties.

nebo · « **Reply #212 on:** Wed, 09 January 2013, 11:51:03 »

I just noticed that you're also offering white switches. Are these 55cN or the 80cN? I'd guess the later since those are "modern".

EDIT - Also just realized, the plates aren't going to support a short right shift + extra key are they?

Without it I can't get the right part of the keyboard to be:

Code: [Select]

with a fn layer for the normal keys that go there.

Matt3o · « **Reply #213 on:** Fri, 11 January 2013, 03:03:11 »

definitely interested in both Cherry and Costar stabilizers.

as soon as we have complete pricing for plates this wikll start and a form will go up we will be working on taking orders for 1 week.

yea my place was knocked out of the running and i did get a price from WFD but idk if its for alu or SS

I also might be able to get colored PLU cases instead of just then standard ones if theres enough interest.

Hey! Grats on the form going up. Going to fill it out soon!

KuhnTang · « **Reply #226 on:** Mon, 14 January 2013, 22:58:37 »

I just read that the dark grey (linear) is used as the SB for MX Blacks and that the regular grey (tactile) is used for the SB on Clears. Being that you're not offering blacks currently, can you swap out dark grey for grey, or just add grey as an option?

Grey : http://deskthority.net/wiki/Cherry_MX_Grey

I do realize that you may not be able to get them, just a humble request.

thanks prof.

Hi Prof,

Just looking through the form, I'm semi-clueless as to what many of the options actually are.
If I tell you what I'm after, then perhaps you can tell me what options I should go for?

Just a plain phantom with MX clears, perhaps MX black on the space and all put together, thats about it.

Just a few questions
1. Not really wanting a PLU87 case, there are a few on the drawing board might wait for one of those.
2. and I've got no idea regarding
2a. resistor swaps
2b. lubed switches
2c. stabiliser mods

Id be getting a plate so i'd need the plate mounted stabilisers?

If you can give me a clue what is involved in a normal assembly (minus the case i guess for now) that would be amazing

Thanks again.

This might also be useful for others that are as clueless as me.

did I read the form correctly:

2 resistors + 2 LED's = $5

select basica assembly then and you probably dont want a black spring for the spacebar with clears as black is actually lighter

1. yo udont need to order a case but you will have to order a plate if you want me to assemble it for you.

2. what are yo uasking?

2a. thats if you want different caps and scroll lock leds

2b. its as it sounds I crack open every switch and lube them the by one with krytox 205\

2c. basically makes a cherry stabilizer feel closer to a costar

yes you will need plat mount stabilizers as that is all the phantom supports

hopefully this helps if you have any more questions please ask

these are the only plates that are made currently i believe WFD said we had to have at leas 15 people interested to get another design...

I wrote in the notes to also reassemble the PLU but I think this would be a great chance to learn soldering so please send it in parts.

gameaholic · « **Reply #248 on:** Tue, 15 January 2013, 03:02:47 »

I'm going for a black case with lubed red switches costar stabilizers and the same layout as my filco TKL.

Some questions before I fill out the form.

1. About the plates. I already ordered 2 of WFD's universal plates (1 to go in this and one for my filco) and he is doing my assembly so I should already be good and not need any of the other plates right?

2. If I order the black PLU 87 with Red Switches that covers the case and switches then I just need to order a few extra red switches in case they are bad.
(I will also be ordering some clear switches to go in my GH60-how many of those will I need?).

3. No purple or white LEDs?

that means you only want the stem/spring swap assembly too correct? not the basic assembly in addition?
