Awesome, thanks for this Ivan!
I anticipate HUGE orders for this. I know I'm stocking up.

me too. These prices are amazing.
Yes each is for a complete assembly of leveling kit.
I will crosscheck orders before invoicing to determine if shipping is required or not.
Who made those stabs and wires exactly?
OK. I will get a groupbuy thread for stabilizer started soon. GMK says they have LOADS of them on hand so there shouldn't be any problem fulfilling our demand.

They're from GMK.
What I'm really concerned about is, are these stabs and wires same as original Cherry ones.
It is the same stabilizers as on wasdkeyboards?
Don't want to be mean but here they are http://www.wasdkeyboards.com/index.php/products/keyboard-parts.html right ? . If so Plate-people can buy it directly from here
in WASD they label Cherry MX stabilizer . I'm a little confuse here , can someone please provide some picture how exactly they look like ?

Except those are Costar stabilizers, not Cherry. Not the same thing. Plate Mounted Cherry Stabilizers =/= Costar.

If your stabilizers look like the Costar ones and you want more stabilizers, this buy isn't for you. You can get Costars from WASDKeyboards like it was pointed out.
Thanks you guys , This is exactly the one I want to buy . One more thing . Does the Plate-Mounted Cherry fit on the cut out of costain WASD they label Cherry MX stabilizer . I'm a little confuse here , can someone please provide some picture how exactly they look like ?

I have a dumb question: when filling out the "real name and mailing address," should I separate my name and parts of my address by commas or by lines? The "EXACTLY" part scared me, and I didn't want to complicate things by messing up haha
I haven't seen an option for 2.75/2.25/2 wires. Do we need to specify the length of the wires or does this groupbuy only come with 2 unit wires?
Are plate mounted or PCB mounted more common for custom keyboards? (PCB mounted is I believe? but I am not sure.)
Is it possible to replace the costar stabs of a filco with the plate mounted ones from here?
Where I can get sizes of stabilizers for plate design? Datasheet etc...
forgot that ISO has one extra stab, need to change order also.... may buy some more just for sake.it does? I thought ISO needed one less
Great GB :)
Will the spacebar stabilizers work for 6.25x and 7x spacebars?.... or only 6.25?
forgot that ISO has one extra stab, need to change order also.... may buy some more just for sake.it does? I thought ISO needed one less
I haven't been able to find any comparison, but what are the benefits of plate vs pcb mount Cherry stabs? I'm used to Cherry PCB stabs, but have never used the plate mounted versions.The only functional difference is that the plate-mounted snap to the plate instead of to the PCB. They work and feel the same.

Is it possible to replace the costar stabs of a filco with the plate mounted ones from here?
yes. you can buy a phantom plate and install it on your filco at the same time. bphinay also makes and sells programable contollers for it also.
edit.... plate applies to tkl filco. controllers have been made for tkl and fullsized both.

You cannot use a phantom plate (http://deskthority.net/w/images/2/2c/PHANSI125.jpg) on a Filco keyboard due to the controller (or any other keyboard where the controller is on the top). You need a universal TKL plate (http://i.imgur.com/1JifDzR.png) for those keyboards.
Order amounts added to OP. Order more spacebar stabs.

What is the quantity needed for the price break? I can add a few more stabs to my order... :)
Are plate or PCB mounted stabilizers more common in custom boards? IIRC, PCB mounted stabilizers are, but I want to double check before I order anything.
GMK is offering us a rather nice deal on some surplus PCB with MX black. These are an 1800 style PCB that will come preconfigured for ANSI but also support ISO layout.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/haeRIi0.jpg)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/dxSM4vR.jpg)
They lack a controller but have a convenient pin header that could be used to hook up a teensy or similar. As assembled they would be 2KRO. The 3 lock switches have support on the PCB for in switch lock lights. These should fit inside a standard G81-1800 case.
Price will be €15/ea with approximately 300 pieces available. This option is now added to the order form in the OP.
Another similar PCB in a matrix layout may also be offered. I will let you know when I have further details on that one.

So, in theory, since this has no controller of its own, you could replace all the in-switch jumpers with in-switch diodes to get NKRO using a Teensy, right? Count me in.

You're right. I suppose it would actually be closer to this one. Or possibly it is exactly to this one?Show Image(http://img585.imageshack.us/img585/5849/desko1.jpg)
It's not a direct fit for an 1800. I am not sure what other commonly available stock cases from other boards if any this PCB would fit inside without any modification.
If you want to change your order resubmitting is the way to do so.
Would I want a plate mount or a PCB mount for an acrylic Massdrop Ergodox?
When resubmit you need to enter in everything as the old order gets discarded.
Would I want a plate mount or a PCB mount for an acrylic Massdrop Ergodox?For the Massdrop ErgoDox, you would want Costar-style plate-mount stabilisers instead. Cherry-style stabilisers won't fit.
What is the difference between all the different types of stabilizers? In terms of compatibility, feel, and durability?You wouldn't order unless you think you will have a DIY project where you would need them. ;) It depends on the PCB and/or plate you choose. The merits of Cherry vs. Costar-style plate-mount stabilisers has been discussed at length in other threads ... The feel of PCB-mounted and plate-mounted Cherry-style stabilisers is about the same because the parts are mostly the same.

I just built an ergodox and have a sprit 60% PCB on the way. So get costars for the ergodox and these for the 60%?
I'm still somewhat new to this but from what I do understand I'm pretty sure the MD one does come with it.

You need PCB mount stabs for Sprits builds (unless you managed to get a 1.6mm plate). For the Ergodox, I think it depends on which PCBs you got. I just read recently (i think) that the MK ergodox pcbs have pcb mount stabilizer holes, but the MD ones don't. I have never verified this, but something to check...
Hi Ivan
Just a heads up when ordering, make sure that you clarify you want the PLATE mount stabs alongside PCB stabs. Turns out they have 3 varieties: PCB snap in, PCB screw mount and Plate mount. GMK managed to mixed our order up and almost sent us both PCB mounts when we wanted Plate and PCB!

On this PCB you can see an unbroken row of nine one-unit keys on the bottom row. On a real G80-1800, that row is broken: the cursor keys are forward and with space around to the main area and to the numeric keypad. There is also space between Return and the numeric keypad on a G80-1800. There is also 1/4u space between Esc and F1 and between each function-key group.

If they fit and are available for order then I will put my order in for some, never try that type.It could be made into a really affordable keyboard if someone designs a case for it.
The pcb, though it doesn't fit in 1800 case (and not as cool as well), it will be really cool and easier to make some tray alu housing and blockers for them :p

The PCB requires 6 units spacebar stabilizer... which isn't available here. Easy solution to this issue is if you need keycaps for it also to grab a G81-7000 or winkey 1800 as it will also come with the correct 6 units wire length.
It may be possible to get 4 or maybe even 5 kro if the firmware is done right without having to do any manual work on the PCB. There are a few G80 models and others that managed to do that without using diodes so it should be possible. But I am not a firmware expert.
As far as case. I agree that a simple tray type should be the cheapest. It could be done like Poker or even cheaper would probably to do it like the Neo where the pcb is essentially just mounted on top of an angled slab.

QWERTim, you have any ideas whether they still have the bolt mount made or available?
//a bit OT: so now GMK do the stab? I thought Cherry was still the one to make them.
ivan, is the 6.25u stab bar is as shown in the picture? as in there's a curve in the middle or is it straight like 7u's?
"curve in the middle" means something? ^-^ <--- noob
Could you explain why it's not work? :D Thanks"curve in the middle" means something? ^-^ <--- noobIf it's got that offset bend in the middle it won't work with a plate. It will still work on a pcb without a plate though.

Any more information regarding the screw down PCB stabs?
No. But if they do have the bolt on ones for us, would it be a problem if all the PCB mounts got those? I don't really want the hassle of dealing with both kinds.
Besides Cherry G80 models, the only other thing I ever used bolt ons is the GH60 rev A I have. The only real difference I think they have now is they use a bolt instead of the clip in (obviously) which makes them much harder to unseat but maybe more likely to damage the PCB? The original ones like i have didn't have those little shocks under the stem insert pieces either which made them feel better but I don't think this is the case anymore. So, I think they are all the same really. As far as the ones I have, the base that makes contact with the PCB seem to be the same dimensions so it shouldn't really matter.
Payment deadline... lets make it 20th.

The bend is too tall and doesn't fit between the pcb and the plate.
Ya, I would be interested in the bolt stabs as well. Mainly because I have never seen them before, so that makes me want to try them. Oh and because pcb mount stabs always come out on me when I pull tight keycaps, which is annoying...

Not to be dense but these bolt mount stabs work with any PCB that accepts regular PCB mount stabs? I thought the PCB had to have a different hole for the bolt?
PCB mount have the same mounting dimension whether it is clip in or bolt. The bolt is the only difference, and does go in the same place as the expansion tab. They will work just the same on any PCB that can fit PCB mount Cherry stabilizer.

Same here. If it's confirmed we can get bolt mount I will almost certainly double my order for pcb stabs.
It will be an either or deal. Either all bolt in type or all clip in type. I am not interested in checking with everyone on which types they want or redoing the entire order form and collection process.

Yeah GMK has probably pallets of stabs since they are a keyboard manufacturer also. Since the GH60 order was roughly about half of this I didn't have much choice on waiting on that. I've been told a few more days at the most so as soon as I get that paid I will make the wire to GMK and they will ship once it's cleared.

Tiny bolts? Where do the tiny bolts go? I am unfamiliar with tiny bolts on PCB-mount stabs.
Also, I am about to order bulk stabs from GON, so if you have cancellations or spares, I am happy to pay for them!

Is it just me or do the bolt versions come without those springy-feet that I've clipped off of all my stabs?
The original ones didn't have the little shock thingies on the bottom... these new ones do.

This group buy hasn't been going on for 6 months (first post was almost 4 months), payment deadline was just 6 weeks ago.
Estimated delivery in the OP says October and he is working on shipping them now.
I hope people realize a group buy isn't like ordering from a store. You are joining with hundreds of other people to get a discount on something you probably wouldn't be able to buy otherwise.
And Ivan is awesome just for getting us the opportunity to buy these and dedicating his time for the cause.
i know the GB date ,just kidding, relax!
i just waitting for Ivan
I seem to be having an issue with my 6.25x plate mount stabs. They are the right length but the bend in the wire is rubbing and causing the stab to hang. With the bend facing upwards (how I received it) I can't even get the stab installed, if I flip the wire so the bend is facing downwards I can at least get it into the plate but then it sticks down well past the bottom of the switch and rubs against the PCB. Am I doing something wrong? I have essentially zero experience messing with Cherry stabs so if someone could drop some knowledge on me it would be much appreciated.

I think that's the wrong wire. Shouldn't the 6.25x wire be straight? That looks like the Costar wire.
Here's a picture of the wire from the GH60 GB thread (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=41464.0):Show Image(http://geekhack.org/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=41464.0;attach=17059;image)
Edit: Actually now I'm confused since I just found these pictures (http://deskthority.net/keyboards-f2/cherry-key-stabilizers-t143.html#p2112). The only reason why I said it's the wrong wire because on one of my boards, I couldn't get that bent wire to work with my plate mounted stabs and had to use the wire that was in the above image.

ugh, this is annoying I thought the stabs would be a complete package.They are, it's just that custom boards use custom stabs. ;)
The plate ones have straight wire, only the PCB mount has the bent one. And this is only for the 6.25 the 7u has only straight wire.
Not trying to cause more static but what does this mean for the GH60 orders that the Cherry plate stabs wont fit into the plates? Is there going to be someone making wires for those that I could sweet-talk into making some wires for me?
Due to the issue with proper operation with the bent wire on the 6.25 PCB mount. Those of you who ordered them that hasn't been sent out yet order will be delayed until some replacement straight 6.25 wires arrive to me in about 3 weeks. Those that already had the order sent out I will be happy to send again for cost of postage.

I meant PLATE mount 6.25... too early. For those of you who don't care about this issue I can still send the order, just let me know.Send the order, new keyboard waiting for Dolch. Wire not a problem.
I can wait another 3 weeks. Thanks for getting this resolved Ivan.
Unless you had novelty dyesub keycap, your stabs order not send yet. I stopped sending them after the problem with the plate 6.25 was brought up until I had gotten something worked out to deal with it. Those order that aren't effected should be send out this week.

Yes the Plate 2.x and 7 are fine as are all the PCB mount. Only plate 6.25 has issue. If you didn't order plate 6.25 or don't care about the problem and tell me so I will be shipping your orders this week.OK thanks, don't care for the 6.25 one. Do you want me to send you a PM or is this good?
How do we know if our order has been shipped yet?I just asked this question earlier. I was told that the only orders that had already shipped are the ones which contained some novelty keycaps.

Some of you international that ordered PCB may receive email from me request for additional shipping. This will mostly apply to those that ordered more than 1 as it seems to be a more significant price difference. I'm not sure if the prices went up on shipping or if I simply grossly underestimated the weight of those PCB but don't be surprised by this. Sorry for any inconvenience but I simply can't afford to cover the difference.
If you feel it's simply not worth it, I can see about refund/transfer PCB to another buyer.
RU is shipped...Great! :thumb:
AT - RU is shipped... unless your order is waiting for correct plate 6.25 parts.Amazing! Only 3 days to Austria :) Thank you so much! :thumb:
Hello, just wanted to say that I'm looking for PCB-mounted (new, not the screw ones) stabs.
Please let me know if anyone has extras that they can sell me. Any size is good.
So it would be approximately a month from now plus one to two weeks shipping to us?
I had a 2x stabilizer with a PCB on one end and a plate mount on the other. Don't really mind though.
Seriously? :rolleyes:Yes.
Seriously? :rolleyes:
Same here...Seriously? :rolleyes:Yeah - weird right? Weirder still it wasn't one of the screw in types that came with the pcb mount ones but one of the ones with the little expanding clip bit...
Doh, I bought PCB mount stabilizers and I need plate mount. Oops.
Did anyone make the opposite mistake I did, and have plate mount rather than PCB mount?
Thanks.
So, any updates on stabilizers for the GH60?he is still waiting for the corrected wires. Before he can supply the GB
If anyone received theirs and dont need them. ill pick them up from you. I'll need some for the Red Scarf
So I finally got some update on the wires. Apparently Cherry Europe, who GMK usually deal with are out of these parts and have no plans to make them any time soon. GMK is going to try sourcing from Cherry Asia... it will probably be a while longer. Sorry for the long waiting.Not a big deal for me as long as I still get my remaining correct size stabs and my screws <3
If you want to have the order sent anyway as it is now, just a reminder that is still a choice.

There may be some leftovers, but I won't be selling them until after all the original orders have been shipped out.
Should have them in about 2 weeks.
Wait so were these ever sent out? I was looking through my list of stuff that's supposed to be coming in the mail and this was still on it. I kinda just forgot about them.

Did you order spacebar stabs? Any orders without those were sent out, if you ordered them they are coming soon.

Ah okay thank you for the headsup.
I can't even remember what I ordered anymore, but if you're still looking when my order gets shipped to me, I might be able to help out ;)
I wish I caught this GB, stabs are so hard to find at a reasonable price. If there are any extras, or if someone overbought, I am very interested in a set and more of possible.

Techkeys will have extras
I have finally received the stabilizer wires we have been waiting for. All the remaining orders will be shipped out over the next week.Awesome :P Hype train starts again. ChooChooo

Just to let you guys know, I am running slow on getting these out. There were many more orders left than I thought, and counting out a bunch of small bits takes long time. I estimate another week or something like that before I am finished.

No worries dude. Take your time, we are not stressed about it. :)

I will need to collect shipping cost at least for sure. In most cases it shouldn't be very much.
Are these vintage blacks?

Or, for others that still have PBT orders and don't mind waiting a little bit more I can certainly toss them in with that quite easily.

Sorry.. I didn't feel like reading all of the previous posts to see if it was asked before.
All extra items available will be posted as soon as I finally finish shipping out the original orders.
I do hope to finish shipping all the original orders soon. It has taken me much longer than I had hoped.
helloI'll sell you mine if you want. 😊
is there any chance to have some more pcb with blackswitch?
thankyou!

You could have at least read the first post man, it's right there.
I like how you and nubs replied and neither of you answered my question. There is no clarification if they are.
They are brand new surplus.
I don't care what the non believers claim... there are real differences in vintage switch. It's no placebo, and it's not due to being worn either as I've had early production boards NIB.
Anyway, the MX switch PCB are not vintage switch. But, they don't seem to be scratchy like some of the newer boards I have encountered more recently.
...it's not due to being worn either as I've had early production boards NIB.
Most of these orders are now shipped. Just about a dozen or so international orders left which I hope to finish Sunday.
Whatever is left over will be posted for available purchase after that.
ALL DONE!
Everything is now shipped unless I specifically PM'd you about your order.
I will get what is left counted up and posted tomorrow.
What about those of us who need to pay for shipping for the correct stabilizer wires?
ALL DONE!Did you get my message about my order that wasn't completed yet? It concerns the stab wires as well.
Everything is now shipped unless I specifically PM'd you about your order.

According to my data, I owe straight type wires for 6.25 platemount to:As I'm not a plate mount switch user the bent wire never was an issue for me. So if someone else really needs those straight wires mine are for grabs, no strings attached from my side :thumb:

I still have many MX black PCB left... please take them out of my life. $23 shipped USA, or will work out discount for multiple.
yes, still have many PCB left. Please send me PM with your paypal email and shipping address I will send you an invoice.

Do you still have any of the PCBs left? And to be clear they come with all of those switches only for $23 or do you have to pay for the switches?
Still have available:
7 qty MX blacks PCBS
10 qty plate mount 6.25
7 qty PCB mount 6.25
35 qty plate mount 7x
I also have a heap of 6.25 stab wires for PCB mount... these will be free + postage for anyone who wants them, I can probably give you as many as you could want.
Yes, bolt type. I think only 6 left now. I need to count again and update.
OK send me PM with your paypal so I can send you invoice.
