Yeah I'm afraid this one will be gone super quick especially if we're allowed to order two cases. I can see a lot of people trying to flip a second one on mech market.

I think I am going with Light Sand H-142Q, NK Creams and OG Beige. Seen a couple of sand coloured keyboards lately and I like it.

In the Cerakote example album in the IC thread, the light beige color swatch I have is actually koted in Light Sand :thumb:
I like it better than Benelli Sand personally.
Oh so this is light sand?

For the POM plate, will the warping be some what fixed when fully built? Also, what kind of misalignment?
What payment methods will you be accepting? Paypal?
Robin's Egg Blue is a great color.

This board is a steal. Cheaper than what I paid for the first run.

Quite right. Your the man. Never had anything cerakoted before so I have no clue. It is nice feeling the finish though, which I imagine will be closer to the real thing even if colors aren't completely. I might go with stormtrooper white just because of the glassy smooth finish.

Just as a heads up, these chips are fairly inaccurate. They are made of a really cheap pliable metal and it coats and takes color fairly differently from aluminum. It is a good basis for understanding, but really only use these as a loose guide, not a 1:1 comparison.

Oh don't worry. I will try. Sometimes the scheduling and meeting gods are fickle. I've def missed stuff before. Hopefully it'll be more towards 5/6 East Coast time, and I'll be done for the day.

It does look like a cool off white. It's not stormtrooper white white but it's got a little bit of cream. If you go too warm or yellow it looks like aged plastic rather than a color choice. The snow white could look good with a lot of caps.Thanks for posting pictures! I actually prefer the way the matte looks! I think I might actually go with Snow White :O!Quite right. Your the man.

Will cerakote be a separate option under Case Color or a separate question? And will it need to be the H series code or name or either?
Also interested if there's going to be an option for cerakoting in the final form.

Ooohh Alps plates! Nice!
Hey weasto can you provide the various possible Alps layouts? Thanks.
For ex, I assume "Alps - Multistation' is something like this? ↓Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/HMhUdnk.jpg)
And I also wonder, between these 2 layouts, which one is "Alps - ANSI Split Right Shift":Show Image(https://www.modelfkeyboards.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/HHKB-style-with-2U-backspace.jpg)Show Image(https://blandname.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/rmac_layout.png)

Does this fit a type-C USB port?
The AEK pcb will work with a WKL case? Thanks :D
What would be sweet is to keep the time of the form opening hidden. Weed out some of the competition, and help ensure the ones who really want the board get a better shotWould this mean those of us who truly want it would just have to refresh the page regularly until it appeared?

It would show your dedication to grabbing one. I'm kind of a fan of unknown launch. Especially since I'll be working. Means the window won't be instant.

One last pricing update, the shipping price I quoted was only meant for 1 unit, so if you got 2 units you were meant to pay it twice. I very obviously forgot to mention that (the original GB was the same way) so if you get 2 it will only be $15 extra for the second board. Totally my bad forgetting to mention, lots of moving parts here. Hopefully not too horrible of news, good luck all.

I think given the demand, it may have been better to only allow 1 board per person. Would be real shame if we end up with 100 people with 2 boards each and a lot of people missing out.

Regarding shipping, will we be invoiced for everything altogether or will there be shipping invoices later on? Just curious how people have been handling that of late.
The shipping prices are a flat rate that you'll get charged on your invoice. No separate shipping invoices. Makes it easier for me so when I have boards in hand I don't have to wait for shipping payments and can ship as quick as I can.

Cool, thanks for the info. Hope I get lucky enough to snag one!When will shipping information have to be updated? Will be moving in the next couple months so don't want it shipped to the d address..
When it's time for shipping I'll reconfirm, but payment happens with the original invoice.

Updating the OP will be first, right at 5. The reply will be shortly after just for the sake of having it in both places.
really wish you would reconsider allowing multiple boards for the same buyer, i think the interest is high enough for you to sell to 200 individuals. good luck everyone

The unknown schedule nature of this gb makes it feel like a friends, family, and discord cool kids gb only.
I think calling it an “unknown schedule” might be a tad dramatic, it’s in the OP
You mean the "I'll announce it when I feel like it on the day itself" schedule? And probably in one of the kool kidz discord channels first before GH? Ok, cool!
I'm not in any discord servers except some with my friends, i'm not giving updates elsewhere.

Group buy is over. It took place over a discord channel. Not ideal, but it is what it is.

I will put the official form here Monday: 5pm EST

I was under the assumption that all updates were to be on geekhack. Oh well, I hope you all thoroughly enjoy your boards to those that won. To the people that lost just like me, it is what it is, sometimes life just isn't fair but that's life.

Not sure if the trolls are trying to cheat people out of a board or if Weaston didn't go by his word. Guess we need to see what he posts. :'(

Weaston, you said u will dont go Discord friends only!
But u have done it. Better wait for GH to came online.
Unfair. WHY This Discord? Why not any other keeb relaited chat?
Yeah I'll wait to see an official post. If that's actually what happened then I think it's fair to discard the entries that were made while GH was down and just post a new time and Discord where it'll be announced.Yup...

kb-kustoms is in the mechkeys PUBLIC discord friends
weastonToday at 5:09 PM
i just closed it at 330 responses, will probably allow for a little overflow past 200 units since so many people were interested. I'll make a GH post when it comes back online and say sorry to the people that weren't here. I should have had a better plan so totally my fault, but sometimes things don't go how we want them to so here we are

I wouldn't be surprised if Weaston couldn't even access his own thread to edit it. The website was 504/503'd for a solid 10 minutes for me.
Anyone got the sauce for the actual options that were on the final google form? I hope friends of the people who got on the discord order won’t have an unfair advantage of knowing exact options on the form versus those that have no idea what’s on the final version.
Maybe i’m just being crazy lol.

The form will open at 5pm EST on January 22nd. I will update here with a list of users who have a spot in the first 200 before the new form is live. Anything I said on Discord about 250 units or anything else is nullified. There will be 200 Discord units and 100 Geekhack units.

There's going to be less people refreshing the thread on the 22nd, but I'm sure there's still going to be a lot of people checking in on this thread. Any other way you can update people just in case a similar situation happens?

Anything stopping those already in the first 200 from joining and getting a spot again?The same thing preventing them from just submitting a second form this time? Full name, email, forum name, etc. There's only so much you can do.

Thank you all.
Nothing about the first round was fair so who is to say that the second round will be any better. Regardless it is what it, just wait for the 22nd at 5pm and pray to your gods.
Edit: To clarify, sometimes things don't go according to plan and there is no need to waste time speculating.

Slightly curious as to why the knee jerk response from OP wasn't just to postpone the GB start. Either inexperience or a desire to please Discord.
Thankfully my level interest in this board doesn't require a trip to the salt mine.
Might have more to do with schedule. He probably wants to get this done and move on to the next thing. Every delay is additional time until final delivery. Considering the first round of gskt-00 weren't available for sale at all, I'm just happy some more made it into the wild. Even if I didn't get one.Nothing about the first round was fair so who is to say that the second round will be any better.

We all make mistakes from time to time. I definitely agree that there were better alternatives to handle the issue but at least there was some reconciliation. I personally believe that Discord has made group buys worse. There are too many servers to keep track of and it seems that the updates are always scattered between sources.

A schedule that can't absorb a small delay is a schedule that's destined to be reworked a hundred times.
I do hope everyone who wants one badly enough is able to get one, I only recently saw the IC for this and am curious if the gasket design is one that's going to stick.

Or it's just a small run schedule with open ended delivery. Which is what this is. I mean it's just a single man working with a manufacturer. Applying large scale business principals is folly. Not to mention getting manufacturing underway might have been the more pressing concern, possibly due to available windows, then actual delivery. Small custom batch manufacturing like this can be flexible but also personally constraining.

Moral of the story: TKL > all
Where will the list of the people who got into the first discord buy be posted? Here or in discord?Here. And as long as 4000 people aren't refreshing GH, it should be up eventually :D.
Will we be able to check if we successfully got in the initial 200 orders before the form goes live again on Thursday?Def. That's the point. Let people know if they need to try again. Probably the next couple days and the list will be up.
The form will open at 5pm EST on January 22nd. I will update here with a list of users who have a spot in the first 200 before the new form is live.

If I were him, I'd pick up my bags, get out of here, and stick to Discord in the future. Tons of designers have gone that route (without anyone knowing it). For non-keycap GBs, one-to-two-hundred loyal followers are more than enough.
Here is the list of emails for the 200 spots right now: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Pi0VidcdOjCmn0sq5RvKrytjSkQ8tUExbDZlEVwOqfI/edit?usp=sharing

I know this is 100% jumping the gun, but if things go well with this first public run of the GSKT-00, would a second round even be considered?I'd hope so. Was really hoping to experience that flex. But it'll likely be in 2 years and only another 200 fought over by 20,000 people. Haha

Watch that list. It'll only probably grow by some 20~30 usernames on Wed.the absolute state of this hobby
Save yourselves the hassle. Just wait for the flip market. 300 units, with probably ~200 of that getting sold off at rmm.

I checked the list on my phone and it would only go to spot 84. Now I saw I'm in which is cool. Pretty sure I checked the correct boxes, but I hope there will be a more detailed order spreadsheet later.Grats!
Approved! Please add an estimated shipping date (can be very rough).
GL w GB :)
@weastonIt would be nice for those of us who got a form in but didn't make the cut. That said it's almost too late now.
Can’t you just limit the buy to 1 case per person?
Opens a lot of spots it seems...
Anyway, I thought i was quick, seems not the case ahah

You’re not finding it. Also, give the guy a break he just added another 100 boards to his workload.
Wait so you really aren't reducing the limit to 1?
Also, is the form going to be 11 pages again? no way to condense it?

I never had plans to reduce the unit count per person. Like I said before there were quite a few people in the original buy that have multiples because you can build with such different setups. I can't police people selling a board aftermarket and who's to say that all the people that only wanted one unit aren't going to do it too? It also wouldn't be fair now to not provide the same chance here that others got.
The form will be the same as before, albeit with some slight changes to make sure no one can absolutely autofill it.

First page is your personal info, email user name etc. then it's a lot of multiple choice pages. Board layout, ano colour, pcb 1 and 2 colour, then 4 pages for 4 plates both alps and MX, cerakote option text field, extra gasket and screw set options, "yes i agree to bow to thee" check mark, and then the most important page; trivia! gotta get this one right or else
Also, side note, weaston already said he will be switching things up a bit so this info will probably be outdated.
Also also, it's common speedrunner tradition to not hold secret strats so I will give you an extra tip. Zoom out on the page to have more info on the screen at once. Less scrolling, more time save!
And if you think I am leaking important info that will mess with the competition you can go and sh

Maybe I'm an idiot, but whats the hype around this board? Seems like an affordable gasket mount board. Is that it?All of the keyboard youtube influencers got it in a private buy, built it, and shilled it.
What we need is an official geekhack discord server for situations like this :)) :)) :))Why? We have an irc channel that has been running great for years

Eh, your fine, haha. People are just testy in here after yesterday.
Prophet looks cool. Pretty unique design. Definitely doesn't have the flex a gasket does, but the nylon plate looks like it definitely creates a very uniform typing experience.
I hope I filled out everything on the form right. I tried to fill out everything accurately, I didn't randomly pick or anything, and I think I filled out everything right, but I'm a little nervous, since I filled it out quickly.

Yeah, I'm now holding out for klippe s round 2 for a flexi build. He mentioned potentially having gasket mounting, half plates, and full poly options for r2. The prophet looks interesting as is and I do have a Plain60C that needs a home rn.
Can someone please tell me the link to the discord server?Actually don't bother. I'm going to skip this board. Missing out on the GH earlier was actually a blessing in disguise even though it left a bad taste in the mouth. Buying this way from hype is purely from FOMO. It's not the end of the world. I'll try to get boards from more reliable source from now on. Plus I'm already spending too much on this hobby.

I'm kinda in the same boat tbh. I knew I would have to be fast on this, but I really don't feel like stressing to compete with this level of hype and fomo, especially when boards like the klippe s exist.
Perhaps you might consider the Prophet? https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=104294.0
Very interesting, I like it. I'm gonna follow this. Tks :thumb:

Gasket in a board like this usually doesn't really add flex because it's compressed, unless you don't screw the case together all the way.
have you seen the flex tests on this thing lolI think he's talking about the Prophet
True. Was just pointing out the difference between prophet and gskt-00. I'm assuming people are here for the flex. Prophets flex comes solely from the flex cuts in the pcb and nylon plate (which flexes slightly on pin mounts, and across the surface of the whole board, hence the uniform feel). The flex here is clearly very different with the gaskets. Having major flex in the middle with slightly stiffer flex towards edges.Can someone please tell me the link to the discord server?Actually don't bother. I'm going to skip this board.

Since I'm probably not gonna be fast enough for tomorrow's form, any recommendations for other boards with similar levels of flex?There might be some coming up. Right now there's none really in the pipeline. Polaris should start delivering after CNY, so mechmarket should have some people are getting rid of. I'm sure this won't be the last gasket we see before year's end.
I updated the OP and am posting it here too.Time to practice! Thanks! Maybe I'll make the cutoff this time around.
Here is the practice form for those who want to familiarize themselves with the basic options before the form opens tomorrow: https://forms.gle/iwEtyXgobrtZYiDY7
Again it does not contain all fields that the final form will, but is just to give you a chance to get familiar with the less straightforward parts of the form.
Let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
I will release the final list of options and usernames for people to confirm tomorrow after the form closes.
First page is your personal info, email user name etc. then it's a lot of multiple choice pages. Board layout, ano colour, pcb 1 and 2 colour, then 4 pages for 4 plates both alps and MX, cerakote option text field, extra gasket and screw set options, "yes i agree to bow to thee" check mark, and then the most important page; trivia! gotta get this one right or else
Since I'm probably not gonna be fast enough for tomorrow's form, any recommendations for other boards with similar levels of flex?
This is why I recorded my screen as I completed it. That way I know for certain exactly which options I selected.I hope I filled out everything on the form right. I tried to fill out everything accurately, I didn't randomly pick or anything, and I think I filled out everything right, but I'm a little nervous, since I filled it out quickly.
I'm on the same boat. I am so sure I clicked on the correct options yet I feel like I messed it all up. Gotta wait till the order list goes up.

Oh this makes me sad as I went for a pom half plate not thinking there would be much difference between half alu and half pom in term of flex but pom would provide a better sound profile. Hopefully the plate file will be released so I can get another plate cut if necessary.have you seen the flex tests on this thing lol
Keep in mind Lightning's flex test was done with an acrylic half plate, it varies a lot depending on full/half plate and material. My half alu has flex if I force it, but it doesn't move much when I'm casually typing like my Whale with a POM half plate does.

Ah that makes sense. The idea of a lot of flex doesn't sound appealing. I might try for a half aluminum plate and maybe also a full POM 🤔Yea I think I'm definitely going full pom for the soundhave you seen the flex tests on this thing lol

So... do we need like a Shopify account prior to entry or something? Or more likely I assume the invoice will be sent and associated with our emails?
What's up with all the hype about flex keyboards ? Someone can tell me what is cool about that ? As I've never got into that, I really have no clue what is great about it, I prefer when it's stiff, but as I said earlier, I've never tried half-plate and gasket boards.It's new, fairly unexplored, and shilled by influencers.
Btw if someone knows how will be the google form or has a picture about the form so I can be ready for later.

Why does it annoy you at all that other people prefer flex instead of stiff typing feeling?
Nobody is wrong or right here. Chill. Don't be such a boomer.

Uh ??? Alright, I didn't say anything rude, I didn't say it was bad or good, I just asked what does it bring to a keyboard, thankfully some other guys replied that it can better ergonomics wise, and it can be better for long typing sessions. I thank them btw. Why would u call me boomer and why do u say it annoys me ? What hurt you in my comment, I really have no clue...
Anyway, have a good day.
What's up with everyone and their weak fingers?It's preference. If the softer bottom out of the GSKT is less tiring for someone to type on than a tray mount with a steel plate, then the GSKT is more ergonomic for them than the tray mount.
All this talk about ergonomics because of flex sounds like fake science to me.
I know it's about preference.
Just saying whats up with everyone's weak fingers? I've never experienced finger fatigue and I work an office job.
We're about to see who really has weak fingers after the form closes and the first 100 are chosen, amariteI know it's about preference.

Who knows, they might actually have weaker fingers, haha. Personally I've never felt fatigue, but I also take breaks. I guess if I was forced to type non-stop for 8 hours I'd probably feel the burn, lol.

Took an extra minute or so before google let me open. There were well over 100 entries when it would refresh for me so the form has now been closed.
I will work on an updated list of orders so stay on the lookout for that.

Thank you for linking the sheet again. The sheet is now updated with the winners from today (1/22). I will start compiling orders and try to get up a list for people to confirm as soon as I can, might take a day or two because of the volume.
As for the break down of single vs double boards, 76% of people only got one board.
Invoicing will start after all orders are confirmed, again expect a few days of those getting sent out, lots of people.
Thanks all, sorry about the form being a little late, google was even slow for me.
Looking forward to everyone getting their 00 :thumb:

Thank you for this opportunity, Weaston! Looking forward to fulfillment in the next 90+ days! I'm sure when these boards start to ship, a lot of 2019 Q4 and 2020 Q1 GMK sets are gonna be shipping around that time too. Gonna be a dope Spring!

I have no horse in this race buuut... why not just opt for raffle format instead of FCFS? Wouldn't that have solved literally every issue that occurred with this GB?How would you be about to cook two boards at once with a raffle?
2. This is not a basic thing, this is a thing I would want out of most GBs. I like to build the same board multiple ways and have extra setups for almost everything I own, if I could have gotten extra units as part of the GB then I would have. I wasn't going to restrict units to 1 per person just because people have a fear of flipper culture in the community. Some people who got in right now for only one could sell it the second they get it for some higher price. I can't police being afraid of flipping and I personally like having multiples.
Instead of a unit count, having a spot count that accounts for someone ordering two would match a GB FCFS format closer, IMO. 150 spots where each person could order 2, then if you wanted to hit that 300 (assuming nothing everyone wants 2) you could raffle the remaining x units out.Good points. People are always going to be salty though
Idk **** about this stuff though so just talking out my ass. An idea for future single form, multi-unit, GB. May cause a few less people to get salty.

I genuinely like this idea. Hopefully others can implement a system like this so FCFS people are happy and a raffle satisfies the greatest number of people possible. Salt will always come with something like this, I myself being guilty after the Discord run.
I appreciate what Weaston has done and hope this doesn't put a terrible taste in his mouth for a potential R3.

why not increase it from 300 to 350 units? Whats the difference? 50 units? thats easy for a factory

1. Fair point, I will consider something less prone to problems with high traffic in the future.

3. Fair point for the first part. The idea that only "influencers" own the original 00s is simply not true. In fact, most of them were just my friends or acquaintances before I ever even thought of running a small buy for it. Some of them went on to do bigger or better things than they were doing way back when, but in no way were they targeted high clout people. There was no marketing stunt to try to increase hype by keeping it small, I just wanted to make a board for friends. I'd love to be able to take credit for some masterful hype scheme but I can't.
4. It was a fair critique.
I'm sure this is gonna cause the hate to rain down upon me, but I got 2 boards. But I want to do two builds (wkl and std) to fulfill my years goal of 3 60s. Shoot I would have got 3 if I could have, but will look elsewhere for my hhkb build. Plan on using both, switching out PCBs/switches/plates on the fly. Expect these to be my daily drivers for the foreseeable future (I won't be leaving home without one). And regardless of increased count, or increased spots, etc. there were always going to be people who missed out. That's just the way these things go. And increasing the GB size to greater numbers can be a ridiculous thing to manage for these releases.I definitely wanted two, one for me and one for my dad. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
So it's not just all flippers, there's valid reasons people could want 2. I get why weaston would allow that. It's always going to be rough, and I was disappointed I didn't get in on the first round, but I didn't blame the people who got 2. If I'd missed the second, there is still a full year of GBs ahead of us (probably loaded with gasket 60s), so plenty of other adrenaline inducing rushes to buy, haha. I already had other backup options in the pipeline.
That said, thanks weaston for giving us this opportunity. Can't wait to let the combos flow.

Because they want the money.
If they didn't care about the money, then everyone would do private GBs.

Its probably safe to say that group buys like this are done out of respect/appreciation for the community rather than profit. The logistical nightmare of working with both suppliers and customers throughout this process, from design to final shipment, far outweighs the marginal profit I'd HOPE weaston is able to take for himself for all the work.

Why do we even have to compare or contrast the two? Making money and chasing fame aren't crimes, and organizing any groupbuy is work, no matter how small or large it is. You can try to make a buck, get prestige, and give to the community all at once. They aren't exclusive to each other.
Groupbuys like this are done for money. They are also done to get a name. They are also done to get nice boards in the hands of enthusiasts.

Just an idea. Instead of doing FCFS which is pretty rough for some people; personnally i was REALLY stressed when i filled everything, tried to be as fast as i could.FCFS keeps people from claiming its rigged. People who lose raffles blame the runner for rigging the draw. People who lose FCFS blame the system.
But why not just open for 5 minutes like some artisan makers do and Raffle in this window? It's a bit more random YES but it may be more fair for everyone (if there is no dibs or cherrypicking).
I'd prefer this format personnaly. But as long as not everyone win there will still be salt in the GB.
Unless you stream the random selection process.Well sure, but thats probably more work than a runner wants to do. I'm not saying they shouldn't do that. I'm just saying that FCFS is very minimal effort for a runner. It's not about being fair, its about seeming fair. We don't even know if the list created from the fcfs was done so without bias. We don't have timestamps, or a list of losers and their timings. We only have a list of people getting the board. Nobody questions that, but they WILL question a raffle without a streamed drawing

This group buy is the reason why I don't jive well with fcfs. Plus the fact that you were allowed to buy 2 boards. I wonder how many people from the discord gb got in on the geekhack gb just to flip?
Grats to those that got the board though. Cant wait to see those builds.

I really don't get why people are so caught up with potential "flipping" for this board.It's a tale as old as time. People will bash on flipping and flippers for eternity. Don't try to bring logic into the argument. It only increases the screeching from both sides.
First of all, there were more than 250 individuals interested in this board -- that is a fact.
If each person were to get only one board, it is almost guaranteed that the flip market would have FEWER boards and thus result in higher aftermarket prices. After all, some people just want the board because they actually want it.
Since people were allowed to buy 2 boards each, mechmarket will have many more boards up for sale (yes, from flippers), but the price would be LOWER since there would be more boards that people are trying to sell!
So, to those who are bummed they missed out and salty that people could purchase 2 boards each, at least you will be able to get them on mechmarket for a lower price than if you missed the group buy and units were limited to just one per person. And of course, you'd have a higher chance of getting a board from mechmarket too since there would be more boards purchased for the intention of flipping. More boards to flip = more boards available ASAP on mechmarket = higher chance you can find a board if you didn't get in the first 2 rounds.
Remember that just in the first few minutes of original form going up, more than 300 responses were submitted. As with the nature of group buys, lots of people will miss out. Let's say theoretically the board was limited to 1 per person. Chances are, you'd probably be unable to get a board either. There would be only 70 extra spots, and given the massive hype for this board, 70 is not all that much. For those who did miss out, you'd be paying higher prices aftermarket for this board (if it were limited to 1 per person) than if it were limited to up to 2 units per person. So y'all, look on the bright side.

Would a Vickrey auction really be practical for a groupbuy with this kind of unit count? It definitely has its benefits for smaller batches for sure, (and this is hypothetical) but I think for a groupbuy with 200+ units I think it might end up hurting people who were looking to get a really nice board at a more affordable pricepoint. (i.e. they get priced out even when the board would have retailed for $250ish)
When we're talking about $500-800 Keycults, sure. I can definitely see how the Vickrey auction model is more beneficial. A mixed approach seems to work for Keycult as well, but I don't think a Vickrey auction is the be-all-end-all solution.

Excited to see all the builds folks come up with, with such a wide variety of plate materials and colors. Should be tons of variability for everyone :thumb:same, i'm excited to see how my planned cerakote + keycap combo comes out, and to test out the poly half plate. kinda hope there are extra plates/pcbs because i'd love to have a couple combinations i can swap in and out on the fly

Yeah, I debated going with less options to maximize submission speed, but i ended up getting 4x plate and pcb combinations. I'm glad I did, but I guess I would have been sad if it cost me, haha.

well that is unfortunate, especially considering the practice form was incomparable to the actual form. nbd, guess I'm not getting a half plate then :D
Honestly the practice form, the first actual form, and a friend recreating what we remember of the first form to practice is how I managed getting in on time for the second most likely. That and people on this thread recommending to hotkey the common inputs like email, name, username, etc. Had honestly never done that before, but now it's there for future FCFS. The effort seems ridiculous maybe, but I'm excited anyway. HahaWhen will we have a chance to review our orders? cuz I think I incorrectly entered one of the fields for plate options.

what other GB has had a practice form anyways, not sure why it matters that is was different, you usually don't even know what in it till you open it
For real though, I attribute me getting in this time on the second run partly because I saw that post giving us those tips. The one about zooming out so that there was less scrolling was actually big brain. After I filled in the first plate options I zoomed out completely because I just had to hit none for the rest. Shout out that dude.100x this. Might have helped more than anything else

Idk what keyboards you use, but I have a layer on a QMK board that outputs strings such as my paypal email, GH username, etc. I suggest getting that setup. Wouldn't hurt to set up addresses too, but I doubt you would need that for this formFirst page is your personal info, email user name etc. then it's a lot of multiple choice pages. Board layout, ano colour, pcb 1 and 2 colour, then 4 pages for 4 plates both alps and MX, cerakote option text field, extra gasket and screw set options, "yes i agree to bow to thee" check mark, and then the most important page; trivia! gotta get this one right or else
Also, side note, weaston already said he will be switching things up a bit so this info will probably be outdated.
Also also, it's common speedrunner tradition to not hold secret strats so I will give you an extra tip. Zoom out on the page to have more info on the screen at once. Less scrolling, more time save!
And if you think I am leaking important info that will mess with the competition you can go and sh
Thanks, yo. This is what I was wondering just like a gist of what to expect.
each kit comes with 1 gasket, correct? so if I ordered 2 kits, it comes with 2 gaskets?No, it just comes with a tube of silicone caulk that you need to put between the plate and the PCB.
Some people seem to have responded with wanting an extra plate/plate layout, but not selecting a plate option, or selecting they don't want a plate but then selecting a plate option.
Eg. No to Alps 2 but chose Polycarbonate
I didn't get an email either. My order and username are correct though. Have PM'd Weaston

Assuming production start is going to be delayed with the almost total shutdown of Chinese companies?You have an article on this? I know a lot of tourist destinations, shops and restaurants have closed. But I didn't see anything about factories yet.
Factories are messaging some vendors that they will be shutting down. Guess it depends on which factory is being used and whereAh. That's unfortunate. But also understandable.

I believe weaston is giving 2 weeks to pay the invoice so there may not be much delay unless there’s a wait to get into a production queue with the manufacturer.Yeah. That's what I was thinking though. 2 weeks delay usually doesn't just mean 2 weeks product delay. Factories in China will reshuffle their priorities, etc. Some stuff will get canceled. We'll just have to see.

There's a username on this list that is exactly equal to the # at the end of my discord tag. I wonder if it's me or just a coincidence? Any way for me to find out so I don't have to try again and clog the form with another unnecessary entry?
Just got confirmation from my fab that they should be re-opening by the 9th or 10th.
I am working to get all the invoices made and sent out, it should be Sunday when the bulk of them (hopefully all) are sent out.

He will say when all the invoices are out. He said 2-3 days so don’t worry. Even if it takes longer. This **** is time consuming. Keyboard game is waiting game.
My invoice was in the "advertisement" folder. I use Gmail so you might have to check.
I just noticed mine sitting in the "advertisement" folder on gmail, it was sent 3 days ago.
Paid :thumb:
Do note that he sends Shopify invoices, not PayPal.
I see promotions but no advertisement folder on gmail. Am I missing it?

Small update about payments.Good to hear.
It looks like about 200 invoices have been paid which is great. If yours is outstanding please remember to pay by this Friday (2/21). I have been working with a few people on payment issues and changes of address so please don't hesitate to reach out if you need something from me before paying.
I am waiting on a reply from my factory about when they are opening back up so please bear with me while we wait on that. Thanks all, looking to get this all submitted as soon as they're ready :thumb:
Any idea if the plate files will be released down the road? I couldn't justify getting an alps plate during the group buy, but I'd love the option later on.

Any updates avail? Has every1 paid for their g00skets yet? I assume the factory hasnt responded yet.
How high quality is the anodization that they do?
So how many are going to get made? Would be quite the thing if people wrestled this much to get into the group buy and then just didn't pay.From reading OP, unpaid invoices would mean your spot goes to the next person in line. So all 200 boards will be made.
g00sket seems like a really stupid alias for this boardTotally. It should be Humuhumunukunukuapua’a

They are! I submitted the prelim order today after a lot of sorting and finalizing and they'll get back to me in a few days (probably even a week tbh) with the finalized order and then they'll collect payment. The order has so many parts so I'm expecting it takes a few days for them to get through it all and get back to me.

The GSKT-00 will be manufactured when it's manufactured. Weaston said that he will provide updates when he has any to give. Making dumb comments on this thread isn't going to speed up the process.
who said they won't receive what they paid for? leave weaston alone I'm sure his hands are tied, as are almost all other GB runners' right now.An unprecedented pandemic with the world on the brink of lockdown, and people are worrying about when they can receive their new keyboard in 3 months.People paid good money for it so they obviously want to receive what they paid for.

Hi weaston! Thanks for the update!!! A little confused, 75 days is about 11 weeks, not 15. 75 days from today would be June 9. So is your calculation of end of July adding shipping time? Happy to wait whatever duration it takes, just want to make sure you didn't mistype something.

75 Business Days, not including weekends, among any potential business holidays. That means only 5 working days per week.

Weaston gave us an estimate for end of July to finish manufacturing but more realistically August. So until then, probably expect no major updates.

How are things coming along? Are we still looking at end of July (possibly shipping in August)?
Can we get a check in Weaston?+1, I'm curious to hear how covid has affected the timeline.
I know this round hasn't even shipped yet but was wondering if there was the possibility of a R2? I was too slow for the FCFS form and would rather wait another year or two to buy at GB price if possible than buy anything second hand in the current aftermarket.
wonder if we are indeed still on track for August
Hey all, time for an update!Thanks for the update! I think I speak for most of us when I say we know delays happen and we are excited for our boards. <3
Manufacturing was scheduled to be done right around this week, but the manufacturer just got back to me last night and need about 2-3 weeks more time. They said they were having some difficulty making sure the gray anodizing was matching and consistent so they are re-machining about 40 gray units. (this does not mean they will be sending me 40 extra inconsistent units as extras afaik)
As for acquiring other parts, we're still about a month away from receiving pcbs but I have been acquiring boxes and other packing materials. I will be ordering screws/bumpons/gaskets this coming week more than likely as the turnarounds are much quicker.
One thing to be said is there may be some strangeness with shipping. I was planning on shipping USPS but because of everything happening with them right now I will probably have to use another provider for these boards. I will try to find an option that is at the same cost I initially quoted out, and will keep everyone updated on that front.
TLDR: Another 2-3 weeks machining because gray anodizing has been difficult to match, otherwise mostly on track.
Thank you for your patience :thumb:
Hey all, time for an update!Thanks for the update. I know this is completely my own fault for not opting for them at the time of the GB, but is there any way at all to get extra plates? I'd like to buy an extra half alu and possibly full alu.

They said they were having some difficulty making sure the gray anodizing was matching and consistent so they are re-machining about 40 gray units. (this does not mean they will be sending me 40 extra inconsistent units as extras afaik)
As for acquiring other parts, we're still about a month away from receiving pcbs but I have been acquiring boxes and other packing materials. I will be ordering screws/bumpons/gaskets this coming week more than likely as the turnarounds are much quicker.
One thing to be said is there may be some strangeness with shipping. I was planning on shipping USPS but because of everything happening with them right now I will probably have to use another provider for these boards. I will try to find an option that is at the same cost I initially quoted out, and will keep everyone updated on that front.
TLDR: Another 2-3 weeks machining because gray anodizing has been difficult to match, otherwise mostly on track.
Thank you for your patience :thumb:

Thanks for the update. As for the shipping, I would like to pay extra for DHL Express or UPS Express if those options are available. Any package sent with a normal shipping option currently spends up to 1.5 months in German customs and I'd like to avoid that for a board like this.

Any chances of extras? Not quite finished prototypes? Anything. I NEED THIS BOARD!!!
What's the best way to contact Weaston for address change?
Is there anything that I need to know about which stabilizers to use, or are normal screw ins fine?

i believe you need to use clip in for backspace and spacebar, pretty sure that's the case for all o-ring mount 60s

I asked Nathan on stream a little while ago if he needed to use clip in stabilizers for his g00sket and he said he was good with all screw-in stabilizers
doesn't look like weaston's been on gh in 7 weeks, hopefully he's okay. i imagine as things get delivered to him he'll pop back on.
I'll post something about it probably this week

Buy one on the aftermarket for significantly more than it ran for in GB, probably.

I was hoping it wasn't going to be like that, but you're probably right. Sigh.
I would be pretty surprised if Weaston didn't order any extras, but given the hype surrounding this board even before the keeb hype train of 2020 hit hard, I suspect it will be pretty difficult to get one.

Given the already huge amount of boards ordered for this buy, it's pretty unreasonable to assume he'd get extras
To think in about 1-2 months I will have this board :)
They were optimistic times. Of all the buys I've joined this year, most are looking to be 6 to 9 months at this point.To think in about 1-2 months I will have this board :)
I was so naive :/

At this point the board's just gonna show up on my door step without weaston having said anything.

awesome, appreciate the update weaston! one small question, did the manu do the cerakoting? in my head i imagined those would be finished after all the anodized units (since they're ano'd silver iirc) but wasn't sure if they'd ship later than the anodized units, and wasn't sure if they were also finished by the same manufacturer that did the ano? looking forward to everything hopefully shipping around new year!
The way I understood it is that there won't be updates until 2021 with how things are moving. PCBs arriving next year as well as boards going out to us anywhere between January and March, and even that was a "hopefully".

Update time fellas(https://media1.giphy.com/media/LrNU7qx4WqFaPI5KU9/giphy.gif)
00 cases and plates were all delivered over the last few days so I'll start slowly QCing them and taking care of anything that needs fixing with that. Will be taking the units to be cerakoted to my guy sometime soon to get those started as well. So if you were on the fence about your color please let me know asap. I will also go through and finally respond to all the address changes and make necessary updates there as well. Still waiting on PCBs to finish but we have some samples coming soon so hopefully that will all be sorted by the time these are all ready to ship.
For now enjoy the promised picture of my spare bedroom, now keyboard cave, and have a happy holidays.

You guys know if the Alps ABS plate weaston sourced were in fact 1.2mm, or were maybe thinner, say, ~1.0mm? I ask because I can't seem to find a plate cutting service who can do plastic at 1.2mm.
Edit: looks like (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=104130.msg2851214#msg2851214) there were no ABS plates for the official GB, as weaston could only get ABS plates @ 1.5mm. I think this is why, in Taeha Types's GSKT-00 build video, he mentioned that the switches didn't really stay in place that well: it was because @ 1.5mm thickness, Alps switches don't really lock in; the four little switch "wings" are just flexed back to accommodate that weird in-between switch position in the plate.
Update Time
I have been qc-ing and everything looks really nice. The only thing worth mentioning is that a lot of the units have some slight discoloration around the screw holes on the inside of the boards (especially on tops). This is more or less inevitable and is small and does not affect the outside look/fitment/otherwise so I'm just giving you all a heads up.
PCBs are nearing the final checks and should be shipping soon. We had and tested a proto from the fab and we are just double checking everything now before those are finished and shipped.
Cerakote has not started yet since I was a bit more worried about getting the pcbs in. Will be taking those this month hopefully.
Now for the ****e, not so cool, update. Since I am an idiot (sometimes), the files I sent to the fab for this production run did not have the bumpon cuts on the bottom case that I mentioned in the IC that I added for this run. I apologize to all of you for the mishap on my part, totally my fault. So, since they don't have any bumpon cuts, I'll be providing strips of silicone for you to put on the bottom as you wish. This is actually what all the original units had as well and it does not affect usability or anything (I think it sounds a little nicer personally). So yeah, totally my fault there and I am sorry for it, but you'll still have something to stick on the bottom.
As for address updates, I have not gotten to a lot of them. But don't worry, I am not shipping anything until they are all taken care of.You guys know if the Alps ABS plate weaston sourced were in fact 1.2mm, or were maybe thinner, say, ~1.0mm?

Correct ABS plates were not of a reliable thickness for alps from the fab I used to use for them. That being said, the alps plates I ordered this round I ordered from my main fab and they clip wonderfully. Of course no ABS but the plates are all really nice and of proper thickness (1.2mm).

Got mine in the mail today, thanks weaston.
ne updates?
ne updates?
so roughly 7 weeks since pcbs were supposed to ship soon. I'm hoping the next update we get is shipping updates of the boards.
You forgot about the "we're still about a month away from receiving pcbs" from 8 months ago
Any update on the PCBs?
Has anyone received a response through e-mail? I had a question/request about my order and sent a couple e-mails since last year (by replying to my order e-mail,) but haven't received a reply back. Kind of worrying.
He has stated multiple times that he will get to those pms with address changes. I presume the reason he hasn’t gotten to em is because he isn’t shipping yet.Has anyone received a response through e-mail? I had a question/request about my order and sent a couple e-mails since last year (by replying to my order e-mail,) but haven't received a reply back. Kind of worrying.
I'm willing to trust that all the boards will be shipped, but this was my concern as well. I moved during the GB period, and I reached out requesting a shipping address change by both email and Geekhack PM. I didn't get a response, which makes me a bit nervous that my request(s) got lost and will not be honored... which would mean that my keyboard gets sent to an address that I don't live at anymore, hundreds of miles away.
update plz
should be shipping soon = 9+ weeks of radio silenceI bought a Noxary board and there is an update every month. When Xondat found out the board was being delayed, there was a promise of "something else" included when it ships. :/

is this guy alive?
Exactly. Bumping isn’t working. Obviously. Best we can all do is just wait. You’d think people in this hobby would understand waiting is 98% of the deal.is this guy alive?
gh shows last active as april 16, so it would appear as though that is the case. i'm sure by now he knows how badly we all want an update. i hope nothing is seriously wrong in his personal life, and i hope nothing is seriously wrong with the boards. realistically though we're helpless to do anything in this scenario, so i don't see much of a point in continuing to bump this thread. we've seen the boards in the previous update so we know we're not getting lumina'd, so it seems like just continuing to be patient and wait for an update is our only option.

So are we pretending that this GB is going smoothly and just flame that guy asking for updates here? I guess people are supposed to just pay and not expect their keyboard after 1.5 years. Just be patient 4Head.
As far as what to expect out of me for updates, I will not update with any information unless something is happening. Meaning when boards ship to me, pcbs ship, we get components, etc then there will be an update. Otherwise, I will not have anything to say. Having weekly updates that are nothing more than me saying "still waiting" are not useful and will be forgone.

I wonder if he's okay though. Kinda weird of someone to mention that they're close to shipping and then radio silence. Something must have happened, imo.

I'm not sure what we're waiting for anymore on this GB. Cerakoting on some units, but hasn't everything else been received by weaston now? We're just waiting for him to ship, right?

Let's see if we can make 2 months without login.
Weaston is hand carving the bumpon cutouts in the cases, give him some time:hanry: can also ask zeal for the dremel tool
It's been 11 weeks with no update since "shipping soon"
I get that GBs are subject to delays, but maybe an update would be nice? :D
I’m so happy I missed out on this because others were allowed to order multiple quantities.

Spending so much time doing QC is really nice but a bit frustrating. :>
Do we have any way to try to get in touch with weaston and/or his family? Just to make sure everything is ok? Has anyone ever met him IRL? At a meetup? This is getting pretty ridiculous. Failing that, at what point to we work harder to start forcing the issue? He used shopify to take the payments, so they must have some contact information for him. I'm fine to continue waiting and recognize that GBs are "at risk". I've got ~$700 (2 boards, extra pcbs and plates) tied up in this which isn't nothing. I'm not ready to give up on this yet. I really hope weaston's ok, but I also really hope there's a good reason that we haven't heard anything. Trying hard not to be "that guy" (and if you want to turn me into that, fine, I have thick skin, but I hope you see that I'm trying here). We're at 18mo now and we've all been, by and large, very patient and understanding. I'm sure most of us think weaston is a good guy and intends to see this through. Just asking for an update and maybe an ETA — that's all.
What's with all these people putting GSKT-00 in their signature when legit we know that they are merely in the GB 🤣

I added it because I thought I'd get the board ages ago, but now I leave it in to rile up people so much that they feel the need to post about it.

Do you realize there was already a buy prior to this one?

The private GB? Sure I know. I have two 00's.
His LLC is public information (Gray Industries, LLC, in Florida):
Mod Edit: Removed personal information (you are all free to dig it up on your own)
Public or not, you kinda just doxxed him man. Not cool.

While not a great way to pursue some kind of resolution in this, sharing information that is part of the public record (LLC information is the public record) is solidly NOT doxxing.
I'm also a part of this group buy and I am quite curious as to what the hold up is. I'm sure I'm reiterating questions that have already been asked, but if everything is in-hand (ano units, PCBs, o-rings, bump-ons? ;D) aside from cerakoted units, why haven't those orders that can be fulfilled been fulfilled?
Perhaps there were more issues that came up in QC. Obviously that would mean we've been kept in the dark about some unknown issue but at this point I'm sort of at a loss as to what the main issue could be.
To those reaching out to people who may be able to contact weaston, thanks for your help. We're all trying to figure out what's going on here.
This is off topic, but is Ogre kind of a cousin to GSKT-00, which is kind of an homage to OTD 356 mini?

Damn bro you're so ****ing cool that's crazy I wish I could put "TWO 00's" on my signature so people know I'm the best and not just waiting for the GB.
Well, we have a login. Hoping for good news about both the board and that there was no serious problem that caused this break.

I think we were all mostly ok with this because we knew the boards were being made. But now we know the boards are done, the pcbs are done, so what are we waiting for?
Soon TM :))when in doubt, listen to cakeonfire
Anyone know how long it takes to build gunplas? He had a pretty fat pile in one of the pics. Im sure thats the final hold up
Well that settles it. Clearly if he's including one gunpla per case the time adds up.Anyone know how long it takes to build gunplas? He had a pretty fat pile in one of the pics. Im sure thats the final hold up
a few hours to a week or two depending on how involved the kit is ;D ;D :thumb:
I've asked a mutual friend of ours to reach out. I'll post if I hear anything from him.

Anything come of this?
Nope. He couldn't get ahold of Weaston.
Is it too early to call it or na
Definitely confusing - it seemed like everything was moving along just fine. "I have been qc-ing and everything looks really nice" regarding the boards, the PCBs came in, overall status was "shipping soon," etc.
I know Weaston said he only wanted to update when he had something new to share, but 3.5 months of radio silence also stretches the definition of "shipping soon."
If things are still set to move forward, I think everyone would appreciate a shoutout so we can rest easy.
If the GB is somehow scuffed now because of some insurmountable issue that came up, I think people would rather know that too instead of being kept in the dark indefinitely. Maybe it's something we could all work through and figure out together.
Weaston, you said "I understand the frustration, I've been part of group buys before too and know how it feels when things get delayed" - if you can indeed empathize with this, please consider how everyone else feels at the moment. We all understand that **** happens, and we all accepted the usual GB risk in entering this thing - but being ghosted sucks. Personally, I would at least appreciate being leveled with here if this board is never going to ship. Thanks for reading.
I'm in regular contact with Weaston. Everything is fine as far as I'm aware, and he will update everyone when he has a tangible update.Fantastic! Post some screenshots as proof. Everyone will breathe a sigh of relief.

I think everyone is fine with waiting a bit longer, if that means we are getting the boards. All we are asking for Weaston to do is to tell that to us. Telling everyone that he will update when he has something "tangible" and that everything is "fine", since it's clearly not, isn't gonna make anything better.I'm in regular contact with Weaston.

I'm not going to post our private conversation.
I helped organize the original private GB and have been good friends with him for years, if that gives you any assurance.
I'm waiting on my (third) GSKT-00 as well, and am quite excited for it
The sole reason for my post was to let y'all know that he's alive and well.
If you want an update you'll have to wait for him to give you one
weaston was active as of July 29th. Couldn't be bothered to post an update here since April, though.
weaston, it is your obligation to post updates to this GB thread. Even if the news isn't positive, even if it's just an update to say that you've been busy and the work is delayed - you are holding people's funds and owe them an explanation.
This reminds me of The Office episode “Scott’s Tots” when the entitled kids tell Michael that he owes them lol

I wouldn't know what that episode is about but I do know it takes a special kind of weirdo to attempt to shame Hoff for trying (and succeeding) to nudge Weaston into giving people who trusted him with what I imagine is several dozens of thousands of dollars collectively an update on what they paid for. I suppose given your ridiculous comments last couple pages it doesn't really come as a surprise but it's still disgusting.

Man. People in here so nasty. The fact that people felt Weaston was "pressured" or "shamed" successfully into giving an update is laughable. Clearly he just had stuff going on in his personal life but finally got around to giving an update that were still waiting. Which I guess is good?
Has this gone smoothly, no. But people need to just chill and relax a little. And remember that the going price for 60s now is $500+. And they still can experience year plus delays. Should be relieved that we'll still eventually get this board. Hopefully people will at least stop whining for a bit.

This take is exactly what's wrong with the community. Running a Group Buy, no matter what pricing or quantity, comes with responsibilities.
It probably is a bad take. Moderation is just hit or miss here. And some stuff that gets a pass is just dismal. Just big doubt that mod pressure got us an update over friends reaching out. If he hadn't logged on for so long and had personal stuff going on I'm highly doubtful mod pressure is what brought him back over the reaching out of friends.Man. People in here so nasty.

I mean don't get me wrong. He should have definitely updated prior to this. To at least combat those who were saying he was running with the money and crap like that, but also because it's the right thing to do for a GB. I'm not excusing that. Just how nasty some people got, in a year when delays have happened to pretty much everything, and occasionally people have had to deal with some serious personal issues.
But we have our update, time to wait a bit longer. Good news is that they're still coming. Some other GBs have not been so lucky. For someone running a GB personally of around 300 boards, I'm sure if he had known the impact covid would have caused, this public buy likely never would have happened.

Future readers of this thread, the lesson to be learned here is that only giving updates when there is "good news" is a terrible strategy that will end with people losing faith in your competency as a designer. All the people saying "it could be much worse" are tone deaf IMO. Buyers deserve prompt, regular updates. A lifeline to show that a project is still under active development.
I have the deepest respect for Weaston, and think GSKT-00 is a fantastic looking project, but there's no doubt that the majority of the buy post-sale has not met the standards the community should reasonably expect. As people we should always focus on mental and physical health, and to not let this hobby of ours get in the way of leading a full, functional life. However, with the amount of money the community has poured into this project (and others) there is a real obligation to see this project through, and to accept the responsibility when things don't go perfectly. If you end up in a position where "personal issues" end up affecting your ability to deliver on a project, it is irresponsible to go silent.
This latest update is an opportunity for Weaston to get back on track and I'm hoping lessons can be learned all around.

Yup, we need about 20 more posts in here beating this to death. Gonna be fun
Maybe we shouldn't pile on the criticism and let him focus on delivering the product, which it sounds like is happening, albeit slow.

I don't think you need to be concerned for Weaston here, though I'm sure he appreciates it - the replies that are addressing him directly are actually mostly (all?) positive after his latest update, if anything the dead horse that's currently being beaten is the fact that there's a couple strange people enabling previously bad behaviour for some reason. I have no problem with this, I think it's fully deserved.
The hypocrisy that DukeEsquire pointed out where someone is saying "bro lol it's fine this is all good can u guys chill ur so mean" when at the same time admitting they know the runner personally and are in contact with them to the point where they were aware that an update was coming all along is actually hilarious. No surprise that there was no response there considering it's completely indefensible but at least have the decency to just exit the thread at that point.
I mean, I don't think it's too crazy to want to let the GB runner actually post an update himself without just posting info told in private. I get people not wanting to out private conversations *shrug*. Most of the people in this current convo weren't the ones I was referencing as being mean anyway. I specifically stated non-buyers coming in to thread crap, etc.

I specifically stated non-buyers coming in to thread crap, etc.
So basically what you're saying is you were looking for information and felt concerned to the point where you wanted to contact the runner personally in order to ask what was going on with your keyboard that you paid for but when others complain about the same things you were worried about because they wanna know what status of their that they paid for then it's (in your own words) "funny" that they're "beating a dead horse"? Seems kind of unfair and hypocritical.
I understand your main point here is that there are people who aren't a part of the GB (myself for example) typing in the thread and potentially clogging it with random bull**** but surely you understand why it comes across as extremely patronizing for those that are in not in the same but a far worse perceived situation than you are, given the fact that you're both in the same GB yet you know personal information that you extracted from Weaston yourself and they're left on read rotting away on Geekhack for 8 months?
Anything that's posted that can even remotely qualify as enabling behaviour as has been seen (or rather, not seen) on the part of GB runners like the one here will always be met with hostility, and again, for good reason.

Hey all,
I apologize for not posting sooner. I have had a lot going on in my personal life and haven't really had the time or energy to make an update.
The wait has been because of waiting on gaskets. [...] I genuinely think they will be here by the end of this month. In accordance with that hopeful timeline, you will see me reaching out and doing all the address changes and requests. I have been getting boxes and packing materials together and am anticipating starting shipping as soon as the gaskets show up.
...
In the meantime, I really am sorry for the wait and I am hopeful this is the last update I will have to make before shipping starts.
Since we are only waiting for gaskets I can assume the cerakoted units are done right? RIGHT?

The idea that this GB is delayed for 4-5 months because of o-rings is tough to imagine.
The idea that this GB is delayed for 4-5 months because of o-rings is tough to imagine.
Is it really though?
Yes. Absolutely. It's not unexplored territory, people have been easily able to find 60% orings for almost a year now for their tofu mods.The idea that this GB is delayed for 4-5 months because of o-rings is tough to imagine.
Is it really though?
He already paid for like 300 o-rings. What's he gonna do, keep them? Charge you shipping twice when they come in?
And just take the loss? Don't think so.
I don't think buyers will mind so much if he simply keeps the orings we paid for. But then he'll have a bunch of random o rings lying around.... environmental waste for a couple of impatient guys.
And just take the loss? Don't think so.
What do you mean loss? GB runner has already been paid. There is no loss. It's a win for him if anything since he could always sell the o-rings or whatever.
As if this hobby isn't an environmental waste...
Update
My shipping info for the gaskets says they'll be here next week, what day I don't know, it just says next week. When they come I'll post showing them.
Once they're in my hands you'll be seeing shipping notifications.

I understand things happen, but is there a reason as to why the gaskets weren't ordered when the boards were?
O-Rings have been delivered. We are now waiting on packaging foam, the shipping info says it will arrive next month. Will show pictures of packaging foam when it arrives. Expect shipping notification very soon.I do love me some good foam.

Once the packaging form has arrived, we can place the order for the cardboard boxes. Can't wait!
Then after boxes arrive, Weaston can order tape! That should only take 5-6 more months, but it's ok! He'll show pics of the tape once it arrives.
After that, he can order bubble wrap! But he can only order 1 bubble at a time, and each bubble takes about a day to produce, too. Should have all the bubble wrap in...7 or so years.
This GB is ridiculous.
I forget what flavour of international shipping we're getting. Was it DHL Express or something else?I believe so, I wouldn't mind if it was UPS though, been having bad experiences with DHL recently
OK. That's it. I'm not shaving until I have my gskt in hand. ZZ Top, here I come!
Yoo I can't wait for everyone to get their tofu!! Send a pic of those little thockmeisters!
Messaged a year ago via PM and email, 8 months ago by email, another time by PM. Weaston there's literally no way you haven't received my address change lol, yet you say nothing.
I went through today and updated all address changes I could find (from geekhack and discord, I still need to respond to direct emails). If you did not get a response about an address change and you sent it on geekhack or discord then please send another. Shipping is happening very very soon so if you have a new address change please let me know as well.
So it's been more than 2 weeks since the runner sent an update that he's got everything on hand, that shipping is about to commence and that he's sorry that no pictures have been shown (trolling with a soon^tm).
How many people are still thinking that this will end well for the buyers?
Update time fellas
00 cases and plates were all delivered over the last few days so I'll start slowly QCing them and taking care of anything that needs fixing with that. Will be taking the units to be cerakoted to my guy sometime soon to get those started as well. So if you were on the fence about your color please let me know asap. I will also go through and finally respond to all the address changes and make necessary updates there as well. Still waiting on PCBs to finish but we have some samples coming soon so hopefully that will all be sorted by the time these are all ready to ship.
For now enjoy the promised picture of my spare bedroom, now keyboard cave, and have a happy holidays.

So it's been more than 2 weeks since the runner sent an update that he's got everything on hand, that shipping is about to commence and that he's sorry that no pictures have been shown (trolling with a soon^tm).I'm fine actually. Taking the zen master approach. I'm more curious why people not even involved in the buy pop up asking dumb questions...
How many people are still thinking that this will end well for the buyers?
I’m good too. It’ll come. But I’m taking my shaving protest seriously.This is probably the reason Weaston is taking his time. He wants your ass lookin like Gandalf.

Man oh man, the time has come!
Update
My shipping info for the gaskets says they'll be here next week, what day I don't know, it just says next week. When they come I'll post showing them.
Once they're in my hands you'll be seeing shipping notifications.

Such an honor! thanks bud :thumb:
Remember when it was "shipping soon" in April? Good times...
Remember when it was shipping "very very soon" a month ago, lol. Yeah..
Do we really need to summon HoffmanMyster again to get an update?nah bro, "just wait" :p
this is getting annoying.
QuoteThen after boxes arrive, Weaston can order tape! That should only take 5-6 more months, but it's ok! He'll show pics of the tape once it arrives.
After that, he can order bubble wrap! But he can only order 1 bubble at a time, and each bubble takes about a day to produce, too. Should have all the bubble wrap in...7 or so years.
This GB is ridiculous.
That would be pretty funny though.
On a serious note, gaskets are all here, sorry I haven't posted a picture yet (soon ^tm).
I went through today and updated all address changes I could find (from geekhack and discord, I still need to respond to direct emails). If you did not get a response about an address change and you sent it on geekhack or discord then please send another. Shipping is happening very very soon so if you have a new address change please let me know as well.
Again sorry for the wait, not much longer now.
Which means I can finally start shipping soon!
Anyone else still waiting for their address change?

I haven’t received confirmation of an address change yet. I’ve sent several requests via email and through Geekhack. Fingers crossed!
What if I move after my first address change was confirmed?

At what point do we start bringing attorneys in? I’m close with several who I’m sure would help and this definitely constitutes a class. I’d really like not to have to start playing hardball here but this is getting beyond ridiculous. Maybe I’ll just take the first steps and depending on how things go I’ll figure out how to gather contact and order information from anyone interested in participating.

Dude really wants his GSKT! Lol
This GB has been lacking of updates. I have reached out to weaston and he promised an update in the coming days.Really appreciate it. Hope this won't turn into another "mod dms weaston, weaston gives update but nothing happens for another 2 months."
Regarding bumping the thread daily with a pessimistic one-liner/ telling an organizer how to run a GB gets annoying.
Who wants to guess what “In the coming days” means for Weaston?I will send out a reminder tonight if we are still missing a response.

There are no refunds of any kind. Once you have paid the money, you will not be getting it back unless there is some failure on my end at which point probably everyone would be refunded, but that is an absolute worst case scenario. Worth mentioning in the spirit of Caveat Emptor.
/unmod for a secThe communication we just got was pretty much useless. There is literally no peace of mind afforded or no new information provided by the communication we just received.
I agree that this GB has dragged on for way too long, I too have invested money in it, but you ask for minimal communication and when you get it you flame him? Yes after a 2 month silence we would like so much more I get it, but do you really think shaming him more (see last 10 pages) will get you any further? I will try to write to weaston more often to entice more frequent communication.
The communication we just got was pretty much useless. There is literally no peace of mind afforded or no new information provided by the communication we just received.
1. He hasn’t answered any of the countless questions about address changes
2. He hasn’t talked about cerakoted boards
3. He hasn’t given a reason as to why things are moving so slow
4. He hasn’t provided any pictures since the gaskets arrived when he said he would.
I understand that constantly bumping this thread seems to do nothing and provide no motivation to Weaston but it seems like at least the Mods can provide some motivation. Maybe providing some motivation to answer the above would help everyone (us, mods, and even Weaston) have some peace of mind.

Yes I agree that this communication is not providing any information but it does show that at least cares enough about the GB to still visit the thread. Do I think it's acceptable, no, but there is no statement in the guidelines for how an update should be structured.
My thought process was that the biggest reason for the lack of communication from weaston was due to the believed pressure from the community. I do believe its important to set requirements for the updates, but first we need to get regular communication. In the end we all just want to be done with the GB.Stop with the BS and enabling him to get away with this crap.Enabling what exactly?

Just wanted to take a moment to appreciate Signature for having so much professionalism and diplomacy. This is a thankless job most of the time yet you've done an admirable job of staying above the fold even when it seems everyone else is in a bad place.+1 have seen Signature do a lot over the years and have lots of respect for him.

Honestly, I'm glad there was no reply to that aggressively worded post earlier because it's not even warranted to say anything to that. It wouldn't be MEANINGFUL.
We all have money down here and hope for the same outcome.

Since weaston was pretty fast at answering to my prior message I will from now on message weekly and try to address the most pressing issue at hand (for this week it seems like pictures and how to reach him for address changes). Trying not to do too many questions at once.
Feel free to post questions that you want me to put forward as well as keeping me accountable, just reply in the thread when my msg should be due or PM. Hopefully the GSKT00 will be in reach soon :)

Probably wrong place to take this up, but why are not moderators doing the same for other GBs where people are waiting months for updates?

Not saying that your question isn't valid, but didn't everyone already select cerakote colors? And aren't they already picked from the standard colors? I mean you can get samples, but they're just little cards and don't 100% match what the boards will look like anyway.Since weaston was pretty fast at answering to my prior message I will from now on message weekly and try to address the most pressing issue at hand (for this week it seems like pictures and how to reach him for address changes).

Please ask about cerakote, since we dont have proper sample for what the colors look like it would help a lot to get a picture for each color. I dont think its a tall order because very few got the cerakote option.

I mean it's just a weird ask. You can Google cerakote colors and see what they look like, or go to a businesses site or cerakote's site and see examples. If he's actually packing it means unpacking boards if they've already been cerakoted. And I mean regardless of what it looks like, if it's been coated it's the color your getting regardless of input at this point.Not saying that your question isn't valid, but didn't everyone already select cerakote colors?

Yes everyone already selected cerakote colors, but it helps to see what it looks like on the board. Its like buying a keyboard in a color that has no render and only pantone color number. Samples seem to be inaccurate because of the materials, that is why I want to see what it looks like in real life. Honestly though, im not expecting **** with the way its going.

Think of it like this, you are buying a GMK set with no renders and only pantone color codes. Would you be fine with not having renders and pictures of samples? Would you be fine if the GMK set runner tells you to just look at another set that uses the same color? Yes, it doesn't change anything and I have no control over its outcome but it helps visualize the product. If he has already packed it then it wouldn't make sense to unpack just for pictures obviously, and I don't want to delay this any further if that's the case. But a bare minimum would be to share the status of cerakoted orders to us.

He is not going to be able to change anything about the cerakote even if you don't like it. Seems like a pointless request...

Did you even read what I said? Because I don't remember saying anywhere that I wanted to see what my cerakote color looks like so I can make any changes to my order or whether I'll even like the color. I even stressed multiple times that I know I can't make any changes and just wanted to see the color on the board for visualization purposes only. Maybe if you read my analogy you might understand my reasoning. As for the samples, did you know that the swatches are not very accurate? Ah yes Google.. how I haven't thought about that.. it's almost as if guns aren't made with the same material as keyboards, different base color can affect the final outcome (for us our base color is silver), some samples on the website use multiple layers of different colors and not just the color I picked. Who would've thought! If it wasn't obvious already, I know what the color looks like on objects that aren't keyboards, specifically the keyboard I purchased. If this point is so moot, GMK set runners have no reason to share photos of the sample if the same color has already been used elsewhere. Who needs cafe's samples when it shares the same alphas main color as 9009 am I right?

If we didn't have more pressing issues, I see no problem with it. However, there are multiple things that should be answered first.
Additionally, keyset designers are designing one thing that all of their customers will receive. Weaston did not make this keyboard for your specific cerekote color. He even said that things are likely to differ, so needing a picture of the cerakote when nothing will change before you get the board seems pointless.

I mean your just asking for things no keyboard GB provides. Sometimes they'll leak some of the colors prior to delivery but a lot of times they just ship. Again it's too late to change it anyway. And you can definitely find other things, even aluminum things, cerakoted your color online. This is ignoring the point that of course lighting can effect color as well, so unless your going to send Weaston a lighting setup to get color accurate photos, just seems like a whole lotta huff for nothing.

If he has already packed it then it wouldn't make sense to unpack just for pictures obviously, and I don't want to delay this any further if that's the case. But a bare minimum would be to share the status of cerakoted orders to us.
He is not going to be able to change anything about the cerakote even if you don't like it. Seems like a pointless request...
Did you even read what I said? Because I don't remember saying anywhere that I wanted to see what my cerakote color looks like so I can make any changes to my order or whether I'll even like the color. I even stressed multiple times that I know I can't make any changes and just wanted to see the color on the board for visualization purposes only. Maybe if you read my analogy you might understand my reasoning. As for the samples, did you know that the swatches are not very accurate? Ah yes Google.. how I haven't thought about that.. it's almost as if guns aren't made with the same material as keyboards, different base color can affect the final outcome (for us our base color is silver), some samples on the website use multiple layers of different colors and not just the color I picked. Who would've thought! If it wasn't obvious already, I know what the color looks like on objects that aren't keyboards, specifically the keyboard I purchased. If this point is so moot, GMK set runners have no reason to share photos of the sample if the same color has already been used elsewhere. Who needs cafe's samples when it shares the same alphas main color as 9009 am I right?
Yeah. It's a tough call. The alternative is not doing this and just having him ghost the thread. If this is how we get our boards I'm on board.Since weaston was pretty fast at answering to my prior message I will from now on message weekly and try to address the most pressing issue at hand (for this week it seems like pictures and how to reach him for address changes). Trying not to do too many questions at once.
Feel free to post questions that you want me to put forward as well as keeping me accountable, just reply in the thread when my msg should be due or PM. Hopefully the GSKT00 will be in reach soon :)
Respectfully — I understand this is well-meant, but if Weaston has time to answer to you in private, then he has time to come out here and post the same information via an update. Not to mention the conflict of interest. In my opinion, doing this is enabling his behavior more than anything else.
Lesson to learn here is dont charge for shipping immediately at the time your gb closes. Especially in the middle if a pandemic that is affecting shipping ratesFor what it's worth there was no declared state of pandemic in January of 2020.
If shipping costs are the issue, he can just issue another invoice for incremental shipping costs. Other GBs have gone that route.
Still packing all components and boards, will update when boards are ready to ship.
Pictures of progress would work wonders
I’ll giveaway a kwk if this GB finishes in time for the holidays.I'm hyped

PCB turnaround should be some time less than the boards and gaskets and screws are a trivial amount of time to acquire so no worries there
Prolly ****ed up somewhere and now the pcbs don't fit the cases or some ****. He did send the factory the wrong filesIt sounds like he sent the files from the OG private run back in 2018 which also did not have bumpon cutouts. He did amend the files later but the wrong files were the old ones from what I can tell, and no they didn't have any other issues besides that.

hopefully that is the case and there's nothing that has gone catastrophically wrong with the cases/pcb/etc.

either way, even if something did happen that made the gb unfulfillable i think we'd all rather be told upfront than be strung along while slowly losing more and more hope. if, for example, tesletron had been quickly upfront about the issues with the lumina gb and admitted it was not going to be fulfilled i think many people would hold a somewhat less negative opinion of him and that gb. also see jaxx and the rukia r2 gb.
I wrote to weaston yesterday regarding pictures and address changes and he responded that he will update the thread shortlyDid weaston ever show you any pictures of the cases/plates/pcbs so we know they actually exist?

The fact we haven’t seen the boards just foam boxes after all this time is getting concerning

I mean in the photo you can def see more than just foam. Now maybe he went through and painted a bunch of cardboard the GB colors. Seems pretty excessive tho. More likely cases are there, something just went wrong in manu.
Honesty if he released the designs I'd gladly take the cases, and then order the PCB, o-ring, etc myself and just take the smaller loss.

I mean true. But at this point, he's not paying to get them all redone. So if the option is Dremel it to fit, or just get nothing at all, I'll take the first.Depends on what condition the cases in all that foam are really in thoughI mean with the designs hopefully there wouldn't be too much a component shuffle to get it done at jlcpcb or pcway.I mean in the photo you can def see more than just foam.

Eh, I want what I paid for two years ago. The whole GB thing is getting really old. It was more understandable years ago, but some of these vendors are big now and generate a bunch of profit. If you can't handle a buy, run it through a vendor.
Drop is also opening themselves up to liability now that they own GH. It's not a good look when you let users on a site you own get scammed out of money. It's getting to the point where this sh*t needs to be more structured than just "pay me now and cross your fingers you get what you paid for".

A couple things here...
Your CC company isn't going to do jack for you. It's been 2 years, even the longest protection offered by CC companies expired a year ago. Threatening to go to your CC to get a refund isn't much of a threat to anyone, and I'm sure Weaston knows that.
Second off, no...Drop has zero liability on this. It's like trying to sue a gun store for selling someone a gun they used to kill someone. That's not how business works. You may as well say Google is liable, too, since the form for the GB was done through a Google form.
I understand you're frustrated. Everyone in this GB should be. Weaston should definitely never be allowed to offer anything for sale here again (and I certainly hope he doesn't try to). I also hope people look at this GB next time they consider buying anything from a Google form, too.
this is not true. many are having success getting $ back from Rukia R2 even with the huge time lag. Give it a try ASAP you may be surprised.
You can always dispute a charge. I’ve done so successfully well over a year after a purchase. We can also try taking things up with Shopify since he used them to collect payment. Not sure what they can do at this point, but they presumably have some financial info. There’s still the legal route too, which I’ve started looking into.
Shopify is heavily favored to businesses, not consumers.

You clearly haven’t run a Shopify site :D :p
Dude, just a bit of levity. Shopify isn’t on the side of consumers or businesses. They are on their own side. If you’ve ever worked with them as a business you’d know that they don’t exactly bend over backwards to help when there are issues with consumers either. That’s all I was trying to say.
Hello all, Happy Holidays!Thank you :thumb:
I am still in the process of getting everything packed up. I do have some backlogged address changes to get through that I am waiting to fully respond to until such time shipping is fully underway as there have been many more change requests for the same orders and I'd like to batch them all together.
Again I just wanted to say thank you for your patience or at least for waiting while things have gone so slowly on my end. This whole GB has been botched as far as the wait times and I know and I take full responsibility and I understand how it feels to wait to long as I've done it myself. I can only say that they are being packed up in any free time that I have whatsoever and I am wanting to get this off my plate just as much as you want to receive your boards. I wanted to do something to make it up in some way like some extras for everyone or stickers or something but I think you would all rather get your boards and be done so all I can do at this point is put care and time into the packing and shipping so that you all can have what you paid for.
The final news for probably the year is that I'll be packing everything up and hoping to finish and begin shipping by the early part of 2022. I also don't feel comfortable shipping boards during the holiday season as so many packages get lost and that has happened a lot to me, and I would rather not risk people not getting them so it will certainly be in the new year.
Thank you again for the patience and again I am sorry for the wait and it is my fault for not having things organized better and thinking I could do a GB of this magnitude by myself. Turns out I was unable to keep any semblance of decent timing and for that I really am sorry.

The fact we haven’t seen the boards just foam boxes after all this time is getting concerning
If you look at the photo you can count the parts and I think it comes out to just under 300 units or so, and I can see all the group buy colours in those boxes, including red, which I think hasn't been done in the private rounds, but correct me if I'm wrong.

Hey Weaston, in your original update with the picture of the stack of boards, there were some plants being started on your desk. Can we have an update on those plants? What kind of plants are they? Are they doing well now?

Am i the only one triggered by the curtain not moving for 1 year?
15 Dec 2020: https://i.imgur.com/yTECm4e.jpg
Today: https://i.imgur.com/yVtaZKm.jpg
Thanks for the update! 2021 shall be a more fitting time to enjoy it anyway ;)Sad
I'm very unsatisfied with the response from Weaston. We got sorries, thankyous, pictures, vague shipping date, but nothing about the reason this is getting delayed so much. WHY has it taken him so long to package and ship? WHY does he ghost us, even when contacted through moderator? Is it that hard to be transparent? Is it that hard to pin your own GB thread on your browser and check it once a week? If he even read the comment section here he would've known what people want from him, instead he ignores everything and gives the classic "im sorry for everything, thank you for being patient" bull****. How are we supposed to trust his word about shipping early 2022 when he cant even tell WHY this got delayed? In the picture it is clear that everything is still in foam and nothing has been packed, but he says he will ship early 2022. If he can pack everything in the upcoming months, why didn't he do so already when he had a whole year? Even if he packed and shipped one keyboard per day he would've shipped to at least domestic purchases, we paid 25 dollars for shipping and usps charges 20 dollars for large flat rate, so its not like he is getting a deal for bulk shipping though I could be wrong about this.
Now I'm sure people will reply to me saying it is useless to know, so to those people, will you just take his word and be fine with his empty sorries as he keeps delaying this **** hoping you will eventually get your keyboard? How do you guys trust anything Weaston says if he has never made an attempt to build trust in the first place?
Hey Weaston, I know you initially said you wouldn't release plate files. Is there any way that could change? I only bought one plate and am regretting that now. Thanks
Hopefully he's made some serious progress with packing

Real question is, what about the curtain? WE NEED TO KNOW
Has anyone gotten a shipping notif?
Whenever these ship, a cool sticker design that says something like "I survived GSKT-00 GB 20' - 22'" would be kinda sick. I was really digging how Omni added extra stuff for GMK Drac. I wouldn't want a sticker to cause an extra delay though..

What's the reason for the delay now? Or are we just waiting for a shipping notification/show up at door?I think weaston is still packing, plus to the best of my knowledge a lot of people haven't gotten their address changes done.

I still don’t think they’re being packed. I still know of people with outstanding address change requests, and no one has gotten a shipping notification. Apparently honest and open communication has just been too much to ask for.
Delays were expected due to Covid, but we’re way past that now. Let this serve as an example of how to not run a GB.
There is literally no excuse at this point.
Has Signature given up as well?Tbh I've been busy with uni + got covid this week so I haven't been active on GH at all lately. I'll message weaston but I too am getting tired of the antics.
Hope you are getting better! I appreciate any help.Has Signature given up as well?Tbh I've been busy with uni + got covid this week so I haven't been active on GH at all lately. I'll message weaston but I too am getting tired of the antics.
I've spoken to an attorney about this. He believes that there is certainly a case here. With some very rough numbers, let's say there are 200 participants in this group buy and that the average cost per participant is somewhere around $300. That means that the total amount payed to Weaston (Gray Industries, LLC via Shopify) was somewhere in the neighborhood of $60,000. There are a few options.I'm good lol
The attorney says that the group could bring a lawsuit and that the cost to do this, if all 200 group buy participants also participated in the lawsuit, would probably be somewhere in the neighborhood of $50 per participant. This probably isn't the first course of action to take, but is absolutely an option available to us and not something so astronomical as to be completely out of the realm of possibility.
Separate from a civil lawsuit, the attorney believes that taking $60,000 without delivering any product likely constitutes felony fraud. As such, we are going to begin a discussion with The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services which, as far as we can tell, seems to be the appropriate department to take the first steps with.
My PMs are open for any questions. I do not yet need any personal information from anyone to continue moving forward. However, it would be helpful to start getting an idea about who's interested, and how much you spent on this GB, separate from this thread, just so these rough numbers can get slightly less rough. If either course above is to be taken, we'll need to offer evidence. It will also likely be possible for the attorneys to get this information from Shopify if a lawsuit is filed.
It is still my sincere hope that Weaston will simply do the right thing, expediently, and ship everyone's orders. I do not believe he has any malicious intent and do not savor the idea of having to take this to court. I think we all just want this to end with everyone as happy as is possible at this point.

The attorney says that the group could bring a lawsuit and that the cost to do this, if all 200 group buy participants also participated in the lawsuit, would probably be somewhere in the neighborhood of $50 per participant. This probably isn't the first course of action to take, but is absolutely an option available to us and not something so astronomical as to be completely out of the realm of possibility.
Separate from a civil lawsuit, the attorney believes that taking $60,000 without delivering any product likely constitutes felony fraud. As such, we are going to begin a discussion with The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services which, as far as we can tell, seems to be the appropriate department to take the first steps with.
My PMs are open for any questions. I do not yet need any personal information from anyone to continue moving forward. However, it would be helpful to start getting an idea about who's interested, and how much you spent on this GB, separate from this thread, just so these rough numbers can get slightly less rough. If either course above is to be taken, we'll need to offer evidence. It will also likely be possible for the attorneys to get this information from Shopify if a lawsuit is filed.
It is still my sincere hope that Weaston will simply do the right thing, expediently, and ship everyone's orders. I do not believe he has any malicious intent and do not savor the idea of having to take this to court. I think we all just want this to end with everyone as happy as is possible at this point.

As far as I understand there is still a way we can prepare information needed to open a case and if nothing appears by the end of the month (Feb) - I was quite sure it was supposed to be January though - we just have to proceed to legal actions.I highly encourage you to think twice about this before you get double scammed.
Since we arent getting these for at least another 3 months. A sticker or something would be nice......
you'll still have something to stick on the bottom.

Thank you for the fast shipping. There’s a problem though.
The front and rear screws aren’t long enough because they don’t fit into the recesses on the back

They do fit, the tolerancing is very tight (like +/- 0.1mm), you can very lightly push the tops of the screw with another screw, toothpick or applicable screwdriver and they will slide through. I've confirmed this on the cases I still have in hand as well.

EDIT: Can confirm they fit just fine, and I'm just an idiot. Please disregard.
Can you show me the poron strips that we're supposed to get instead of bumpons? Really curious.

I'm not sure if I ever said poron, but they're definitely silicone. clear silicone rubber. If they don't post a picture then I will post one in a few hours. I had them laser cut to a size that fits between the front screwholes and the back ones so they're pretty easy to install.
Would it be possible to get the screw specs?
They all stripped on me. I had to actually hammer them in to get them to seat, and then they stripped. Two out of the 8 actually caught threads without stripping. I think the tolerances with the included screws are just way too tight.
Not trying to concern anyone here or start anything because it could just be my board.

"these screws don't fit, I'm gonna hammer them into place!"
How on earth did you ever come to the conclusion that this was a good idea? You didn't think asking for the screw dimensions first and getting the correct ones was the better way to go about solving your issue?

Oh my goodness it looks like you got screws from the wrong bag, I'm really sorry about that. Only you and a 2 other people will have that problem, I will message the three of you privately and you will have your new screws delivered to you by the end of next week. The screws look so similar I mistook them so I apologize. Everyone else will have the correct screws in their boxes so not to worry. Again I'm really really sorry, thank you for letting me know so I can fix it quickly. Thank you all again for the patience.
You'll see many more tracking numbers early next week.
No tracking yet.. hopefully I'll get mine as well.. with correct screws of courseRumor has it I got yours, too bad for u, all you got was the wrong screws
Just like magic, more messages in 2 days vs 2 years.
Dude is going to ship 15-20 boards to get the felony fraud monkey off his back, then back to radio silence while GH loses focus with the lawsuit. You heard it here first.
joshuarubin's board first out the door of course - that's how these things go.

Just wanted to update:
Received the correct screws from Weaston this morning and everything fits as it should.
Thanks again, Weaston.
Hey weaston, thanks for the updates. Are you gonna be using USPS for international orders too? Echoing my sentiment from last year that I'd personally feel more at ease with DHL Express/UPS/FedexFor a 60% $50USD warrants DHL/UPS/FEDEX.. Not USPS standard shipping so I sure hope this doesn't get shipped through USPS tracked parcel for $50..... lmfao.
Someone in the community who got their GSKT-00 reached out to me because they weren't sure how to program the board. I looked into it and generated the VIA compatible hex file (to flash using QMK Toolbox) and JSON file (the latter you import on the Design tab on the VIA software).
Steps:
- set your PCB to bootloader mode (hold ESC while plugging in; OR plug in normally, press physical RESET button in the back)
- on qmk toolbox, see that the there is yellow text indicating the microcontroller unit (atmega32u4) has been detected, select and flash the hex file
- open VIA, go to the Design tab, import the json file
- go back to the Configure tab and check that it's identified (if it doesn't show up, try unplugging and replugging the PCB back in)
- set your layout(s), test it on Key Tester
I tested it on my first run PCB and it works and tested it on a spare as well. I had the person who reached out with their GB production run board flash successfully as well.
Hope this helps.

+1 for plate files but don't see it happeningyeah he said he probably wouldn’t offer plate files when the thread first began, instead opting for future buys of components if we wanted more. but that was also 2 years ago and he said he didn’t want to run another groupbuy after this one, so maybe his mind changed about files too!

any possibility we can get plate files now that people are getting their boards in? have mine in hand but i’m not a fan of the spacebar switch cutout. would rather have the switch completely clipped in + it gives me an excuse to get another plate color :p
maybe it's just me being nitpicky, but it leads to a bit of an inconsistent sound with only half the switch being clipped into the aluminum and half of it over the pcb. feels and sounds soft and muted on the top of the spacebar but firm and loud on the bottom. not a big problem whatsoever but i would definitely love to get one remade for consistency's sakeany possibility we can get plate files now that people are getting their boards in? have mine in hand but i’m not a fan of the spacebar switch cutout. would rather have the switch completely clipped in + it gives me an excuse to get another plate color :p
For what it’s worth I’ve been using mine with that cutout for years now with no issues. I personally prefer a minimal mount on the spacebar for half-plates.
I recommend it, but also totally in support of designing your own plate too :thumb:

It completely rubs off with a cotton cloth, it isn't actually the ano or a flaw. A handful of the boards had it and I thought I had wiped them all, seems one made it past me in all the packing, my bad.
Also update, another 20 boards went out saturday, updating shopify with tracking today. Slowly responding to emails and pms, sorry for the wait.

hey zee, yes it is. Good news is it did wipe off easily.
Did anyone who got cerakote as an option see it reflected in their order confirmation? I requested cerakote for my case, and it's reflected in the google sheet. But, my order confirmation/invoice doesn't have anything indicating I requested it.
If I didn't get charged, then it's really not that big of a deal that it's not cerakoted. It's been a while since payment, I don't remember paying a separate invoice or anything.
Got my gskt last week during the first wave of shipping and also had a spot at the top that easily wiped away. There are some internal smudges that I haven’t tried wiping off. Also the pom plate came kinda scratched. Either way I’m excited to build it. If anyone has recommendations for a pom or half poly plate, I’d love to hear them
Board is wonderful, thank you Weaston.

Just got my board out of the blue today, never got my tracking number.
Wiped down the bottom of my board and the ano is quite uneven
Also, my screws don't fit. I tired pushing on them with a screwdriver and they won't budge. What are the screw specs?
I checked the ano and screw fitment personally on each board, but it seems like the screws I got this time have more variance in the head size (even though they're not supposed to), so I will send you some extras this week which should hopefully be better.
As for the ano did you wipe with a cotton cloth? I didn't see any streaky ano on the outside of black units myself, maybe it was from the bags/bubble wrap?

Other than my tracking email showing up after the board being delivered, the email was from Gray Industries (through shopify), just in my normal inbox and marked important
so the tracking info showed up when viewing the shopify order? i've had a decent amount of mail stolen recently so not getting tracking info in time is making me pretty nervous. also curious if anyone has gotten their cerakote unit so far?
Could we get an update on how many of the orders are out and how many are remaining too?
How many more orders total to go out?
How many more orders total to go out?
About 100 left, a lot of which are International. Almost all of the CONUS will be out by the end of this week.
I wonder how cerakoting turned out. Any1 got their cerakoted board? Would love to know if it was done well.
Replying to emails and messages today and tomorrow.
Another 16 made it out today, will be updating shipping in the morning. All these were CONUS.
Have another 40-50 CONUS going out by the end of next week. Will update shipping accordingly.
With regards to addresses, please reach out to me if you think something is wrong with yours, but as far as I am aware they have all been updated and confirmed.

p.s. old private run PCBs enter bootloader mode using Bootmagic (hold SPACE and B while plugging in) as opposed to Bootmagic Lite (ESC while plugging in) on the new ones

Don’t think so. CONUS here. My gray industries order when I click through to the link just shows order confirmed no shipping update via the Shopify cart system. I assume you’ve tried searching your email for “GSKT-00”?
I wonder how cerakoting turned out. Any1 got their cerakoted board? Would love to know if it was done well.
Nope. Has there been a single mention of whether cerakote was even done yet? Got sick of asking and continually getting ignored. I guess for the few who selected cerakote...to our dismay, we just gotta wait it out even more. That light at the end of the tunnel kinda dim

Update
Taking the first wave of 20 boards to the post office tomorrow, planning for another 20 or so later in the week.
Will update shopify tomorrow with tracking numbers once they're with usps so check your emails.
Will be trying to keep a schedule of about 40 orders per week going out, there is some flexibility there of course but it should be do-able. There are around 220 orders remaining so as I said a few updates ago, looking to the end of February for most if not all boards out.
Updates from now on will be saying the number of boards shipped.
If there is anything in your order that is wrong for whatever reason please don't hesitate to pm me. If somehow you have a wrong plate color or something just let me know and we'll get it sorted.
Thanks all.
My bet is that cerakote boards are currently being cerakoted. Does anyone that didn't get a cerakoted board not have theirs yet?

It’s getting frustrating seeing people sell their boards on mechmarket before Weaston has even acknowledged that he has once again dropped the ball.
Yo can I get mine quicker by pulling out of the cerakote?
I was trying to sort it myself internally and not have to say anything and cause people to be more mad at me
Hey all, bit of a long shot but thought I'd post here just in case.
I live in Sydney, Australia. I got my order shipping notification a while ago. The board was then delivered for collection to a post office which is quite far from me (Lansvale), and then collected by someone other than me. Collection requires photo ID with a name matching the addressee. An inquiry with AusPost confirmed that the recipient details on the package were not mine.
It seems that someone else's order was accidentally shipped as mine, probably happened somewhere in between transcribing adresses by hand from shopify. weaston is currently investigating.
In the interim, I thought I'd ask in here if anyone received a red wkl gskt-00 + some extras without first receiving shipping, or more generally if anyone had their gskt-00 delivered for collection from Lansvale LPO in Sydney, Australia without first receiving a shipping notification. If we can somehow figure out through GH who else is affected by this particular mix-up, it should make resolution a lost easier.
Thanks very much, hope everyone eventually gets their boards in hand.

Is there any update on when the Ano units will finish shipping out?

Recieved mine today, got shipping notif 12 days ago so they are def still going out! Some ano spots on non visible side when assembled but otherwise looks really good :thumb:
same hereIs there any update on when the Ano units will finish shipping out?

Me too.
More units went out today, check your emails for shipping.
If you're waiting on cerakote it will still be longer, I was trying to sort it myself internally and not have to say anything and cause people to be more mad at me, but I am still waiting to get them cerakoted. There were a lot of problems with pricing and supply chain that made it way more difficult than it should have been, but they are planned to be started this month, so I really can't imagine it would be later than the end of may for those to be shipped out to you guys. I think I had said before that they were being koted soon (in 2021 I think) and they were planned to, but again the problems back then piled up and I just didn't want to encourage less faith at the time. So I apologize for that and also whatever other ball dropping I am doing currently.
Again sorry for those few waiting on them, but don't fear, they are being koted and there are no more roadblocks there.
Looks like about 80 orders left including cerakote units so we are in the home stretch now and well past the half way point. If memory serves there were about 230 orders and we are at 80 left so 150 have gone out. I thought all non-kote CONUS were done but judging by some of the posts here I seem to be mistaken so I will take a look at those and get those out in the next batch. But other than that it is entirely non-kote international orders at this point.
Again thanks for the patience in waiting, I am going as fast as I can on my end and most everyone should see shipping notifs this month for non cerakote and next month for cerakote.
If there are any outstanding messages I haven't responded to then please reach out again and I will get it sorted. It is difficult keeping up with all the different forms of communication so again I apologize for not being as quick sometimes.
I was recently contacted by Weaston regarding my order. I was told that the remaining black PCBs had issues and that a bunch of orders, including mine, would have to be switched to a different colour PCB. I was told that I am also getting a $50 refund for the cerakote that I was able to cancel and my order (international) would be shipped in the following week or two. I mentioned to him that the GH thread is itching for an update, and he responded that one would be coming soon. This conversation happened on the 15th of May and I have not gotten a shipping notification so far. While I would like to get my board, I am not in a rush and I can wait for it to ship. I'm sure the day will come eventually. He did seem quite overwhelmed (unsurprisingly).
it has been so long... but I finally received my order.
Weaston refunded the alu half-plate I have originally ordered due to reasons mentioned before in this thread. I ordered a WKL grey and unsurprisingly there is a noticeable mismatch on the anodization but to be fair I don't really mind. I convinced myself that it's a feature and make it more unique and less boring since it's almost a totally different tone of grey.
Anyways I will be looking for an alu half plate for this build and it would have been sick to have the red but I am just happy it came.
I received mine today. Glad it's finally here... so don't give up if you're still waiting.Show Image(https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/312287977151660042/982041668830257193/20220602_180232.jpg)
Are there any ways to reach out to Weaston? I tried replying to the order delivery email a month ago to reach out to him due to a warped plate, but there's no reply so far..
Im hoping this place will be a better place to find him..Show Image(https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/301378773196996612/981972269427470396/unknown.png?width=1209&height=910)

Is there a server that he's on so that I can message him? Discord says he's not accepting friend requests, can't seem to DM him that way.
I was recently contacted by Weaston regarding my order. I was told that the remaining black PCBs had issues and that a bunch of orders, including mine, would have to be switched to a different colour PCB. I was told that I am also getting a $50 refund for the cerakote that I was able to cancel and my order (international) would be shipped in the following week or two. I mentioned to him that the GH thread is itching for an update, and he responded that one would be coming soon. This conversation happened on the 15th of May and I have not gotten a shipping notification so far. While I would like to get my board, I am not in a rush and I can wait for it to ship. I'm sure the day will come eventually. He did seem quite overwhelmed (unsurprisingly).
He's on MechKeys, the Reddit server.
FYI i'm still waiting for non-cerakoted board
Are plate files for this board available? Considering picking one up aftermarket but would like to use a different material than it comes with.
anyone know the size of the stock o-ring gskt was shipped with? cant find info anywhere

I presume it's the same as any other o-ring mount 60% board, don't know about durometer rating though. I think Cannon Keys and other vendors that sell o-ring mount 60% boards will have what you're looking for.
Any news on the remaining boards? It's been a month, how many are left?
Are plate files gonna be available? I would like to get an alu plate made because my dumb ass got a stainless steel plate for some reason. It would be very much appreciated.I'd probably give up on that dream considering he's mentioned he won't be releasing them in the past.

I would love for the plate files to be released. I am struggling to find anyone to sell me a plate :/
I have recently acquired a GSKT-00 and I was wondering if anyone knows what is the model of the black PCB that came with the board so that I can remap some stuff in QMK. Thanks in advance

This is nachie's via-compatible hex file for the GSKT PCB (nachie designed this PCB): https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/629024643801677834/880970850067681310/kapcave_gskt00_via.hex
Is that an ALPS plate maybe?
Yeah for sure that bottom red plate is Alps lolDamn that makes sense lol, thought it looked wider than usual. Prob just forgot what I orig ordered, now to abuse my mod powers to hide my foolery :cool:
still missing my 2 gskts...Working on it.

I'm trying to contact Weaston through discord to look at the possibility of taking over the shipping of this GB but no answer as of now. I'll update when/ if I do get anything. PM me for weastons discord handle.
no response at all so far

Woah.. what a disaster.. I never trust one designer to run a board, but I am new to hobby so not sure. :confused:
His last active is same as last post. I think we can assume that he will be gone forever ...My last known whereabouts from him is from late september on discord via a friend. I'll lift the question with the other mods regarding reaching him over the phone, but please do not spread personal information and dox him in the thread.
btw, i have try searching for his address / phone number and already found one. Anyone wanna try reachout to him?

Just like magic, more messages in 2 days vs 2 years.
Dude is going to ship 15-20 boards to get the felony fraud monkey off his back, then back to radio silence while GH loses focus with the lawsuit. You heard it here first.
joshuarubin's board first out the door of course - that's how these things go.
Final Update before the last shipment
I wanted to wait till I had the cerakoted boards back in hand to post again so I could show off pictures and finalize all the shipments but of course there was a problem. My understanding was cerakoting was being done these last few months but it turns out it had never even been started. The boards are still safe and everything, I am going to get them back this weekend.
But that means there won't be any cerakoted units, which really sucks and I'm really disappointed by because I was really excited for people to see the quality of the guy I use, but alas he had his own problems in the last few months and couldn't make the run happen. I don't want to drag this out any longer since I understand how unhappy you all have been with the wait time so I'm making the decision to forgo it in favor of getting the boards in your hands.
With that being said, I will obviously be refunding all money spent on cerakoting by you guys, so expect that back to you soon. You'll see it back on or right before when your unit goes out, just so I can make sure I'm keeping track of it properly.
All the remaining orders will be sent out over the course of december and into january, at which point everyone will have their board in hand and the GB will be concluded.
Any more address changes please let me know at your convenience, and we'll get this finally wrapped up.
Again I apologize for the wait, I understand the discontent, I wouldn't be happy either and I'm not happy with how this GB has gone. All I can do now is apologize again and get those final remaining boards out to you guys over the next two months. Thank you all.

big bummer about the cerakote, but looking forward to at least getting the board (relatively) soon!
What’s the best way to communicate address change? I’ve been sending emails but haven’t gotten a response confirming the change.

Never heard of VIAL before. What's better about that versus via? Just curious.

Unfortunately the PCB is proprietary, no other PCB will fit.
USB-C PCBs were available from kapcave until July or so but their site seems to be down now and with weaston MIA your only option is to find one aftermarket.
I emailed Nachie from kapcave. He might be able to rerun some pcbs
QuoteI emailed Nachie from kapcave. He might be able to rerun some pcbs
KapCave is ded, however I’m still around. If there is enough interest (20-30 units), I don’t mind doing another pcb run. I’m nachie#1001 on discord so feel free to dm me.
Full Disclosure: I did the pcbs for the private run and provided files for the public run. However I’m not associated with the public buy in any way, financially or otherwise. I won’t open source pcb files, but can provide edge cuts if someone wants to design another one. I don’t have a store yet, but there will be one next month or so.

This was GB'd before I joined the hobby, so my memory isn't as long as your's may be (or other OG users here, especially). Was GSKT-00 the first hyped 60%? Or was the 356mini a big deal when it came out too? (Or some other legendary 60%?)

did the shipping label say when it was shipped?
looks like it was shipped out on 3/25
My board suddenly showed up a couple of days ago. It was shipped 27.03.
No, I didn't get a tracking number or anythingMy board suddenly showed up a couple of days ago. It was shipped 27.03.
no shipping updates before that?
Received mine today... Paid for cerakote but apparently that was completely cancelled so now I have an unanodized gskt-00 and no cerakote money.
I guess at least I have something but had to pay import tax on the cerakote money included so got double ****ed on that.
Now to find a use for this since I already have other things.

Received mine today as well. He valued my parcel with the cerakote subtracted.
Are you sure it's unanodized? It's supposed to be silver anodized even if cerakote was cancelled.
Cool that a few people have finally received theirs. Still nothing here...no board, no cerakote refund, and all e-mails going back to last year have been continually ignored. It's been well over 3 years and counting.
Can someone please DM me the LLC details that were shared here long ago (please don't post it here publicly as I believe it's against the rules.) Will attempt to pursue legal action, or at the very least report fraud. Thanks in advance.
Not the update post you were looking for, sorry.
I keep receiving DMs every now and then about spare pcbs. I'm going to place an order for some other pcbs, so thought Id check if people still want this and add that to the order. This won't be a group buy, just trying to gauge interest before I order stock.
If you want one, please fill this out. Will keep it open for a week-ish, and if we have more than 25 then place the order.

I did end up getting a full refund
i lost a few dollars to inflation xd
Glad to see at least some people are getting refunds. Did people ever get refunded for the cerakote?

Has anyone used MT3 keycaps with their GSKT-00? Do they fit? I remember hearing that SA keycaps don't fit, with the back row colliding with the case.
