geekhackers will be carrying some set of things that moz makes at some point; he just got back into delhi, so give him some time (i know in moz-world that's like 20 minutes, but really..) and we'll get this sorted out.

Who will sell them? I'm guessing there will be a fair bit of markup in price?
i wanted to say "we here at geekhackers", but it's just me. so lonely :((
Okay, since GH will be carrying these, let's do a limited run first.
What colors and layouts would you guys like to see.
Available:
-- GH60/60%
-- TKL/Phantom
-- Ergodox
-- Leeku 1800
-- GHPad
-- Lube Station
Colors coming soon, but oretty much everything is available, so post ideas, I'll create a poll based on it. From there we will produce based on demand.

If I could get an acrylic case that looks just like that for my Phantom I would pledge my undying devotion you.
Also full size Filco would be cool
i'll be interested in TKL and numpad if only it can fit in other numpads beside ghpad
I can do distribution in the Philippines through local couriers -- LBC, JRS Express, or Xend.
If needed I can also do regional / international through EMS, DHL, or FedEx.

East Asia and below (MY, SG, AU, NZ, KR, CN, VN, etc) possible? I can cover south and west Asia as well as Africa as I don't think there are many there.
i'll be interested in TKL and numpad if only it can fit in other numpads beside ghpadI'm definitely interested in a numpad case too
1. Phantom case with WKL blockers
Also full size Filco would be cool
Full-size, I have not designed any case thus far, as I am unsure of any standards (If they exist), the closest thing to full case is the Phantom/QFR/TKL and GHPad combined case.
I would love a TKL like that as well.If I could get an acrylic case that looks just like that for my Phantom I would pledge my undying devotion you.Show Image(http://www.knizefamily.net/images/pool/keyboard-phantom-pcb-plate.jpg)Show Image(http://www.knizefamily.net/images/pool/keyboard-phantom-angle.jpg)Show Image(http://www.knizefamily.net/images/pool/keyboard-phantom-side.jpg)Show Image(http://www.knizefamily.net/images/pool/keyboard-phantom-stem.jpg)
Today, I built my second keyboard ever, a Leeku 1800 PCB inside my custom Magic School Bus case, and I faced a problem which WhiskyTnago had warned me about earlier, the Cherry PCB mount stabs colide with the acrylic plate.
Now, this issue arises due to the thickness of the acrylic plate, which would be much too fragile at the Cherry specified 1.5mm, thus a 2.5-3mm plate is used. Using Cherry Plate munt stabs is just impossible, with modding them and then gluing them. Costar stabs can be used by gluing them to the plate. Cherry PCB mount stabs can be used, however it means elongating he current stab hole further, which will remove compatibility for the costar stabs.
What does this mean? For acrylic palte, one needs two desing,s one supporting Cherry PCB mounted stabs (Recommended), and the other, supporting Costar stabs.
It's looking great, I lost one of the small cosmetic pieces, so I didn't post pics.
For the plate, I did have to file my own plate for the 1800, it took only 1 min per stab, but there is uneven-ness, as for laser etching, I've tried it previously and to get good results, it is much too expensive, perhaps a steel/alu plate would be in close price range, so it doesn't make sense. The Koreans usually just have larger holes for the PCB mount stabs.
Finally assembled this last night. GHpad. I agree about the stabilizer holes, they need to just be bigger and only allow for PCB mount stabs.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/TpwJ8p2.jpg)
Yes I need a case like that :oFinally assembled this last night. GHpad. I agree about the stabilizer holes, they need to just be bigger and only allow for PCB mount stabs.
Hey, no fair, you got a 4x5 case!? :p
Looks great.
Thanks! I've been holding onto this case for quite some time now, right MOZ? Way before we got those 4x5 PCBs from phatdood9. ;D
Just when I thought that I had a good day (shipped a bunch of stuff, got most of the switch stickers, got my 1800 running without a hitch), I was reminded of how much my life sucked and I was playing it on legendary level. My acrylic workshop's owner got a heart attack while I was in Joburg, and passed away. Thus means they had to shut down shop, and one of the workers there, that I had befriended also went back to his village. I do wish my condolences to the owner, however I had acrylic sheets worth $500 sitting in his shop, which was sold by his next of kin, along with all the stuff inside.
Depends on the case, most are 5 3mm layers.
I will most likely not be able to run this for a while, as I just lost $500 worth of acrylic:Just when I thought that I had a good day (shipped a bunch of stuff, got most of the switch stickers, got my 1800 running without a hitch), I was reminded of how much my life sucked and I was playing it on legendary level.
