Title: [GB] GON NerD60 PCB. MOQ24 = Black colour for free - Production stage - Sold Out
Post by: okwchin on Sun, 14 September 2014, 13:15:25
ITS LIVE!!! (and in production too!)

24 Sept 2014All Sold Out - Thanks everyone and GON! 


22 Sept 2014As far as we know, there is possibly 1 PCB remaining! 


17 Sept 2014As far as we know, there are less than 6 PCBs remaining! 
This is most likely going to be the only run, so its now or never ;)
(actually.. looking at the photos, I might want another!!)

17 Sept 2014Manufacturing order has been sent, so we are already at the production phase :)

GB for a custom run of clean BLACK NerD60 PCBs

Direct Link to GB Item for your convenience (Please see below for more links to accessory items) (http://www.gonskeyboardworks.com/pcbs-and-controllers/113-black-nerd-60-pcb-okwchin-gb.html)

Just picture this PCB, photographed by BunnyLake, but in an Sexy stealthy black... Now just imagine having this piece of hotness in your hands… :)




So tell me more...

Why?
Why you might ask, why would I want to buy a black PCB over a green one...
Now imagine if this was in black.. It would look Epic, Stealthy and would work better with any keycap combination you go for. Having transparent or clear acrylic cases would mean a neutral black coloured PCB would prevent the green showing through and breaking your perfect theme.

For those who have a metal plate and a metal case, at least with the black PCB you will be able to better admire your soldering work, and know you have the cooler looking black PCB over the standard green, and that your PCB is one of a limited run ;) It's whats inside that counts right?  :cool:


Nerd60 PCB
Key Features

- 60% PCB - Compatible with Pure/poker cases (i.e. most 3rd party 60% cases)
- All 6 mounting holes present, and an additional hole left of spacebar.
- USB connector same location as Pure/PokerX (And the PokerII USB position is very slightly different). This NerD60 PCB should be compatible with all commercially available cases!
- Supports ANSI + ISO layouts, and 1.25/1.75 shifts, 1u backspace, 1.25 or 1.5 mods, 6u 6.25u or 7u spacebars.
- USB Full NKRO & 6KRO Support(Toggle)
- Multimedia Keys Supported
- 1000Hz(1ms) Polling Rate
- Supports Full backlighting and Side lighting (with 35-40 side LEDs)
- Editable Key Maps
- Hardware MACRO
- One Macro can include 1~2000 Key Inputs. User can save 2000 inputs at "one" key, or smaller chunks of inputs at  "70" keys.
(User can save 1 ~ 70 Macros)
- Adjustable delay for key delivery during macro recall

- 1.6T PCB based on NerD controller
- SMD components for the controller are all pre-soldered, and manually tested before shipping.
- Requires Switch Diodes, Through-Hole type. (Can be customised by asking for diodes to be pre-soldered, additional $15) (Total $68)
- LED Diodes, and resistors required for side lighting, (Can be customised by asking for side LEDs and resistors to be installed, additional $40) (Total $93)
- Both of the above for an additional $52. (total $105)

- The PCB will currently operate with pre-programmed key mapping http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=57751.msg1314463#msg1314463 (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=57751.msg1314463#msg1314463)
 however the re-mapping will only be re-programmable with the GUI software that will be released in 1-2 months around the end of July! re-mapping is now possible with the released GUI

- (Update 16th July 2014) Here is a short preview of the GUI programming.
- Essentially you can drag and drop keyboard mappings from the left column, to the keyboard on the right.
- All 3 layers, Normal, Fn1, Fn2 can be edited.
- Load the layout from the keyboard to the software by pressing "Load".
- Save layouts to the keyboard by pressing "Save". No need to unplug/plug the keyboard.
- Easy as that! Gon feels that this is the easiest client software for a custom keyboard!
- Works with NerD Controllers (i.e. NerD 60%, 87%, and 100% boards)
- The video is by GON, a rare situation where you have a korean keyboard guy working directly with the english speaking market :)  Video is 8mins.




So I want in some of this action. How does it work?

Orders will be placed as a batch of 24 by GON with his manufacturer. The manufacturing order will actually be sent in at 20 units to accelerate the process. Given that there was a commitment for 28 units over 2 months, we are realistically looking at a single run of these PCBs happening, unless we make it to 48 PCBs.

Note that there is a limit of 24 units for this round. Once we reach 24 units, the item will be listed as out of stock on GONs webshop.

Therefore, if you want in, now is the time to get your foot in the door. Place an order for the PCB and associated accessory items on GON's webshop. When the order goes ahead, he will send for the PCBs to be manufactured, and you will receive your item in due course.

1> PCB or PCB+Housing Combo
http://www.gonskeyboardworks.com/pcbs-and-controllers/113-black-nerd-60-pcb-okwchin-gb.html

2> Optional Soldering(Should place an order for PCB along with your order for Soldering)
http://www.gonskeyboardworks.com/customizing-services-and-etc/114-optional-soldering-for-nerd-60-pcb.html

3> If you want full assembly, you have to place an order for PCB first(So GON knows you want a black PCB) then add the full assembly keyboard item.
(I will adjust pricing(-$53 because the full assembly item includes a normal Nerd Board). Full assembly order item is needed for GON to identify your assembly options clearly.)

One more thing to let you know...
MOQ is decreased, but there came one more limit...
The QTY should be multiple of 24. So, in this case the number will be limited to 24.
I will only open orders for 24 pcs.
So, they should place orders before the PCBs are all gone.

About Schedule
- I will place order for manufacturing PCBs when the number of orders/payments reach 20 to save time.
(Paypal Gift Payment is prefered. You can choose the option when checking out. I updated my website for that. ;))
- Then I need one business week to get the PCBs from the factory. And I need a week to solder controllers and do test.
- In short, the ETA will be "at the time of 20 orders taken" + 1 business week + 2~3 days for shipping preparation + Delivery via UPS/EMS or equivalent Express Shipping(Generally get within a week.)

And I have a suggestion,
I will open 10 special price orders for GON NS NerD 60 non-glare Black( /w SCM435 Steel Bolts and Black AL Legs) Housing to fit Black PCB.
This will be a combo-product consisted of Non-Glare Black NS NerD 60 Housing + Black PCB = $203. ;)



Further notes with GONs responses to FAQs

Quote
- "Will there be a Proxy available for the US customers?"

=> As you guess, I will ship the PCBs to the address of the buyer.
So a buyer should collect orders before he finally place an order to me. ;)


- There are a few non-windows based users (myself included). the following is an excerpt from one of the comments. "I'm very interested in a 60% right now, but I don't do Windows - all OS X + Linux machines, so it looks like the programmer isn't very useful.  If the source code for the basic CLI editor were available, that'd be a big deal for me to consider the board!"

=>Unfortunately, opening the source code for NerD frim or Software seems to be unavailable. sorry....


- Another member requested full assembly of their board. Depending on case choice, I am sure GON can work something out for you utilising this black PCB.
=> No Problem. ;)



Within this lies an excerpt from the IC thread for reference.

Interest Check for - GON NerD60 PCB in BLACK

Update 16th July 2014 - added GUI programming software information, and GON preview video link.
Update 8th Aug 2014 - Added MOQ 260 details, and clarified compatibility of NerD60 with all cases, not a concern.
Update 15 Aug 2014 - GB thread is posted - a copy of the IC thread, but slightly modified to be appropriate for GB use


Normally available in a Green silkscreen, this IC thread aims to measure interest in a BLACK silkscreened PCB.
- This may eventually be a GB for a Black PCB. If this goes ahead GON will go ahead and produce a run of PCBs that will be available from his shop at the same price ($53) for the GB period. Beyond which, the black PCBs may be available for a premium.
- If the GB reaches 260 units, GON will offer free soldering of diodes and resistors too!

Tier 1
MOQ - 50 PCBs
How Much - $53 base price (same as standard green)
When - 2-4 weeks, or when deadline is reached
How - If successful, product will be purchasable from gonskeyboardworks.com for a limited time at GB price


Tier 2
MOQ - 260 PCBs
How Much - Free Diode and Resistor soldering too! (still the same $53 base price)


Please Register your thoughts here (including those who are not interested in this PCB, your input will help). There are 5 multi choice questions, Easy!!
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1nedqyr8fpcXr7D0rTRrw-wg7jMuiiXqYUfmDU93dHhQ/viewform?usp=send_form (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1nedqyr8fpcXr7D0rTRrw-wg7jMuiiXqYUfmDU93dHhQ/viewform?usp=send_form)



Availability
- These will be available directly from his store for the GB period, for the same price as the stock green PCB. Customisations such as pre-soldering of diodes and side LEDs will be applicable as per the green board
- Beyond this GB period, extra Black PCBs will only be available at a premium over the green PCB.

- Ultimately, this GB will only be run at GON's discretion, based on his assessment of genuine interest generated though the IC thread.
- Number of PCBs produced will be at his discretion.

Gon has stated that if there are at least 50 PCBs committed, then this GB will go ahead!


Shipping
- Shipping is only available via EMS/Fedex/DHL/UPS for safer delivery. It will be fast, but not cheap. Combined shipping is encouraged.
- Shipping costs can be estimated on GONs website and should be the same as the standard green board.


And... Maybe A GB for a NerD60 Housing
GON has suggested that he will consider a GB for Nerd60 housings. This will run for a quantity of 25 units if the Black GB runs.
- The housing GB should offer a quicker production of relevant cases.
- ISO and ANSI compatible plate
- One colour - Glare Silver, or Non-Glare Black
- Housing includes Frame, Top and bottom panels, the top one functions as the switch plate too.
- The NerD60 and 38GT PCBs have slightly different dimensions and connector locations, the NerD60 will not fit in NS38 housings and vice versa. Also, the NerD60 supports ISO.



Current pre-programmed key mapping. This can be changed once the software is available, which should be about the time the boards are arriving.

One of the best looking black boards I've seen, with a nice finish, and relatively light silkscreening, so it preserves that sleek look.

Well done GON on making a beautiful board.

(he also mentioned that if we do another round, there are other colours to pick too (Green, Blue, Red, Yellow, Black, White) But the same MOQ of 24 exists, and black I felt would be your most common pick, so again, this black round is your best bet!)

Red is "common" because its awesome. ;)

Although yellow could be nice for a construction zone themed keyboard..

My wallet hurts, but I took the last one ^^ Looking forward to create an all black custom.
I also took the soldering option for diodes and resistors for LED backlighting. But what components are needed for the side leds in case I want to do them myself? (and what made that option that much more expensive?)

Before you apply Side LEDs to your board, you have to check whether your Housing/Case supports Side LEDs.
NS NerD or Any other NerD Housings at my website support Side LEDs of NerD PCBs. But so few Housings support it.

If you have checked and want to solder side leds yourself you can see the parts needed in the following link.

I don't care for split spacebar, really don't need more than 5 keys(that includes the space bar ) on the bottom row, all the extra is just fluff  :p

It would be up to you to have a solid or split spacebar, you are not forced to have it, if the holes for the extra 2 switches were on the pbc.

And it's not fluff, it is actually verry usefull if you think about it.
I'd like to have the left side of the split spacebar to access a function layer.

My left thumb is barely used, I'd like to change that.

No, you are right, the option for split space-bar is good. The fact that I don't like it, and don't find it appealing has nothing to do with that. For me non standard layouts just complicate things, hard to find keycaps, a layout that is not common with more keyboards, hence when I have to type on a "normal" keyboard I feel lost.
For me just the fact that I replaced Caps with Ctrl causes enough problems when I go back to a "normal" keyboard. And in my line of work I have to change keyboards to whatever is there.

But I am for more versatility, something like the Phantom PCB, even if I don't use all of that  :thumb:

Also, I'm really loving the clears on my Massdrop Poker II...so I'm leaning towards getting some of those for the Nerd, but I almost feel like it wouldn't be proper if I did not outfit it with some blacks :p  OH GOD THE DECISIONS ARE HARD. lol

If you had planned earlier, you could have gone for the 60% acrylic case sprit's selling. Not sure if there are extras. You could opt for really expensive and go fmj from feng; orders close october 15, and thats going to house my second GON the second i get the funds for another PCB. And lastly you could just go with one of the housings GON is selling. I was originally going to go with that, but then i decided i wanted to be different :p and finally you have tex or pexon cases, since the NerD fits most poker cases though imo i don't like them as much since a lot of people have them so i don't feel as special ;D

If you want you can PM me the tracking and I can check, I'm used to track all sort of packages because the postal office in My country is preety lame so I found all kind of workarounds to track my stuff
Sent you a PM :)) Thanks for the help!

My tracking number is still not working :(
Have you tried the 17track link I gave ?
It doesn't seem to support EMS unless i'm not looking in the right places, but i'm also on mobile so there's that.
In case you made the same mistake I did , only take the 13 characters and not the EMS at the start :)

Mine arrived in town this morning , maybe they'll deliver this afternoon oO
No chance on that delivery since mine got shiped after most people because i ordered a plate too :p but i have tried both ways but the code doesn't seem to want to work for me. I just want my PCB as soon as possible ;D

If you had planned earlier, you could have gone for the 60% acrylic case sprit's selling. Not sure if there are extras. You could opt for really expensive and go fmj from feng; orders close october 15, and thats going to house my second GON the second i get the funds for another PCB. And lastly you could just go with one of the housings GON is selling. I was originally going to go with that, but then i decided i wanted to be different :p and finally you have tex or pexon cases, since the NerD fits most poker cases though imo i don't like them as much since a lot of people have them so i don't feel as special ;D

Thank you for the insight.  I will explore theses options :D  As far as planning ahead, getting in on this group buy was a complete impulse.  I had been eying the Nerd 60 for some time, but when I saw this thing in black I just had to have it right then and there! Lol

Big ups GON!

I have now only custom boards and a HHKB, sold all my other boards, sold my first ever board a Poker X to get the Black NerD60.
I can't imagine going back to non programable boards :thumb:

Now I have to wait to get all the other part to build this one, but I don't want to rush things, can't make any mistakes with this awesome board.
I would love an aluminum case for this one, I would have taken a GON case but I don't like plate mounted switches, they feel too hard to my fingers :(

Got mine yesterday , was pleasently surprised with the offered mx stickers  :thumb:

To be sure , the order it should be done is :
- Resistors diodes soldering
- PCB Mount Stabilizers installation (if any of you have some kind of guide about that :o )
- Switches soldering
- leds soldering

Yep. PCB stab installation is pretty straightforward, you just basically stick them on,  though you can clip them like in this thread here: http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=34759.0
I'll see if i can find a guide later :)

I will post, just received the "old" MX Black switches, I have to receive also the "nixie" black for the Esc. Aluminum case is ordered but it will take a while...
OG Cherry WoB are ready, found the 1.75u SHIFT, it would be nice to find also 1.5u Ctrl/Alt, if not I have the ones from the GMK RGBY set.
The build will have more stages, I'm taking my time for the Black NerD60 ;)

You can always join the [CTRL]Alt Gon 60% GB. The only difference is there is the [CTRL]Alt branding on it.

Orders end on Oct. 5th.

It's a NerD60 the Ctrl Alt one. I was thinking of buying one, but they have an insane high shipping price for EU, I mean 20$ from UK to me .... At that price I rather buy one from GON, with no 3rd party logo on it. GON has the green PCB always on stock, only the black one was a limited edition. In fact I'm planing to get a 2nd one, but first I have to save some money :P

Regarding shipping from Korea to me (Romania) was 23$ and the PCB was in my hands in 4 days that including the time spent at the customs office. I simply refuse to pay 20$ from UK to me for just a PCB, when I got my HHKB from UK the shipping was 18 GBP for a whole keyboard and with insurance to cover up to 180EUR.... so I would pay 3$ more any day and get it from GON directly.
