[GB] Mechlovin' Infinity87.5 - F12 & F13 TKL Compatible PCB

[flying1911]

The Infinity87.5 is the latest iteration in our Infinity PCB lineup, designed to work with a variety of F12 and F13 TKL boards. We had a final prototype ready along with a plan for mass production back in July, but that unfortunately coincided with a massive COVID wave which kept us in lockdown for more than 2 months. We’ve been trying to get back on our feet (fulfilling group buys, catching up with commission projects…), and are now finally in a good position to put this in motion.

We have also teamed up with our good friend at cbbplanet, so that we can provide Infinity87.5, as well as other Mechlovin’ products to our North American customers with faster and cheaper shipping.


[PLEASE READ CAREFULLY] COMPATIBILITY, STAB ORIENTATION, PCB THICKNESS AND RGB
- The Infinity 87.5 is in the popular A87 form factor with Top-sided USB Type-C and supports BOTH the F12 and F13 footprints, so it’s compatible with a number of TKL boards like Geonworks Frog/F1-8x; KFE-CE; Singa Jaguar, among others.

- There are TWO different variants available: 1.2mm thick with South-facing spacebar and 1.6mm with North-facing spacebar. Please check your board and switchplate and consider your preference for thickness to make sure you go for the right option. If you have any questions regarding compatibility, get in touch by joining our Discord Server.

- Mini-USB PCBs are not available in this pre-order. We will likely make a small number of Mini-USB Infinity87.5 for in-stock sale after fulfilling this pre-order.

- The PCB supports RGB underglow and per-key RGB for Row 1 (for the artisan keycaps enthusiasts out there)

First week numbers look great, and they were useful in helping us decide production volume. By the time this post is up, production has already started, which should give us a nice head start. Pre-order runs for another week, so be sure not to miss the window if you're interested.

Pretty much all orders have been shipped out. Type-C extras and mini-USB variants will be available on our site in February.

I just picked up my PCB from the post office.  It looks great!  I got the 1.2mm matte black version.  I don't see any stabilizer shims/spacers in the packaging though.  Something like the stabilizer foam stickers from Kbdfans would do the same thing as the shims, right?
