[shipping] MX Switch Cover (8/9 photo update) - Multiple Color

[MOZ]

The mold has been made and I think first batch is almost out on some Chinese forum.

So if someone else made the mold and has these why is the mold fee part of this GB?

I think they have not been able recover complete cost of the mold yet, that is the only explanation. 

The Chinese site I was referring to: http://w250303.s116-13.myverydz.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=1078

If you use google translate, it says in OP, "started receiving", thus I assume they are getting them. Maybe the GH buy and others going on in other regions combine as the first batch and thus all have to pay for the mold. 

I pmed abostudio about non-American orders and during the discussion mentioned the two changes suggested so far. They said that the mold had been made and thus changes could not be made  and they would consider the suggestions for a later production maybe some time next year. Kinruan has posted the same in the OP as well.

[kinruan]

please respond about the led cutouts.

he already did

I don't think it's been fully answered yet. I mentioned that it hasn't gone into production yet, so it's not too late to change. But if it's not going to be changed for some other reason, then that's what I'd like to know.

Put it this way, if that small mod for LED and the GH logo was added, then wouldn't be a need for round2. There are several people already that have expressed buying these switch tops if the change were implemented, myself included. I was just hoping for something with a functional purpose, rather than cosmetics only, which will be covered up by keycaps anyways. More people buying these this round translates to lower production costs per switch cover. But if the slight change is not possible, then I suppose I'll pass for now.

I am talking to aboStudio and didn't get a clear response, which i guess is a No.  I appologize, but really that MOD need an entire new model, which costs more money. i have to say in each 0.25$ there is about 0.2$ for model (if 10000pieces total), a new model will definitly double the price which nobody likes

Ok thanks, that's the type of explanation I was looking for. So, by "model" do you mean modeling and designing it in software? Or do you mean the plastic mold? If it's the former, then I have access to solidworks and willing to put in some time to help with the measurements and model design.

plastic mold. excuse me

Wait, I didnt notice the red covers, are those available or no?

[gnubag]

There will be three colors available:
MX RED, MX White and Transparent

also is it possible to make a little crease for the led cut out so you can easily snap them off with needle nose pliers? (more or less a compromise)

This is new

[domoaligato]

ok normally I think that switch stickers are a pointless gimmick.
Now with the purchase of transparent switch covers I will have a reason to use them.
Thanks for doing this!

Because purple is so much sexier.

[danielucf]

Purple is the color of royalty. Red is the color of lust, war, passion. You be the judge 

PS: I can't wait to box and mail these out, I'm going to take the craziest pictures with all these switch top housings.

[meiosis]

Would purchasing these require re-lubing of switches? I ran out ;(

[MOZ]

Nope, as lube isn't applied on the switch top, it is applied in the switch bottom housing.

[bigx333]

Paid
