The plate supports more layouts than the PCB!
PCB friendly, not suitable for handwiring, unless you like hot glue.
PCB-mount only. There is no way to have holes in the plate to clip stabs onto, and also have support for various layouts.

Rules:
1§. Your package might be bent when it arrives, i will pack them after the packaging material i have available, but i can't make choose how the shipping company in your country treats the package. My experience from the last GB was that 60% off the plates where reported slightly bent, but after one night under a heavy book, was okay. I had a package to Asia who was totally unusable without a heatgun and other tools.
2§. If you can't pay the invoice by the invoice deadline, i won't ship the package to you. Leave me a message if you want to extend this deadline. I can't promise anything.

Sprit's PCB's are very nice. I got two and built one using one of LeandreN's ANSI plates. Once you figure out the key layout program everything works great.
I also have a b.face winkeyless board. It is similar to Sprit's but also has the option for RGB led's on the bottom controlled by a second ATTINY85. Bought these as a bare board with just the controller parts. Soldering the controller parts is extra, diodes/soldering are extra, led resistors/soldering are extra. If you don't mind spending the time soldering it's not too expensive. It uses the same key layout editor, with more options for the RGB leds. They ship DHL so buying a single board is expensive.

Thinking about hoping on this and using it instead of an Infinity setup. Those sprit boards are all SMD already soldered on? I assume LED's are not by default.Presoldered for 45$, pretty good price :)

I paid $120 for my two Sprit boards shipped to the USA. This is a good deal especially if you are getting it with a plate.

Post by: a-c on Sun, 02 August 2015, 13:53:21
As far as I can tell these are the same cases you can get with a third round Infinity or a KC60 on Massdrop. They look identical. I have both coming (eventually) so can compare them directly.
The hole for the DIP switch is on the small size. One switch is inaccessible on a V60. The Sprit PCB does not need this hole. There are no DIP switches on the Sprit PCB.
The only thing that these cases need is a sticker or plate to cover the ugly injection molding sprue mark on the bottom.

I get that, but you never see the pcb under the plate. Plate color should match or coordinate with the case instead.Good point. I still like blue though.

I'll check it up, but I think not.

Order placed! Not sure that I really need a 3rd SPRiT board, but I can't pass up the purple plate option. I may have to sell one once this comes in...

To those who just ordered a PCB, i would appericate if you could order a plate too. This was meant to be a comboprice, but since i forgot to mention, i'll let it go.
Anyway, keep orders coming, tell everyone!
Post by: LeandreN on Mon, 10 August 2015, 02:35:06
I also have some color samples!
I start it off with purple:

It was meant that the price of the PCB should be 45$ only if you bought the plate, but its just a few orders so I'll let it go. You bought a plate from me last time didn't you?This was meant to be a combopriceWhat do you mean by comboprice?

could you explain a bit (or link something) so I can figure out how much else I'll need after buying plate + PCB + case?
Interested noob here :/
In addition to the PCB, plate, and case, you would need around 63 switches and a set of PCB mount stabilizers to build a complete keyboard. Well, keycaps also, but I assumed you know that. :)

Ways to customize it the way you want:
Buy the transparent version, sand it down to get the forsted acrylic look. Face the leds down and get an awesome look.
Vinyl wrap it in any pattern, texture and color you want.

For sure it's not as nice and tidy as Amazon. It sometimes even feels a little sketchy, but so far I have not yet been burned. You'll have an opportunity to add notes to your order, be as specific as possible and don't hesitate to message the seller directly before, or after to make sure they got and understand your order. Pay with a credit card or something that offers a bit of protection. Also remember to be patient, these things are shipping super slow from China.
Well after several hours and several different email address I can't seem to get a verification email from AliExpress so might have to try and find a different clear case.

Are resistors compatible with white LEDs already soldered?
If I want springs that are a little bit harder than stock Cherry MX Brown which should I order?
Thanks in advance!

Resistors are already soldered and combatible with the LEDs.
You could try something like a 62g spring if you want a little weight increase.

Plate mount switches will work with the PCB and plate being offered here. PLATE MOUNT STABILIZERS WILL NOT. PCB mount stabilizers are REQUIRED for use with this plate design.
In order to mount the switches correctly in the large openings in the plate designed for multiple layout support, PCB mount switches are RECOMMENDED. Not required, but recommended, for added stability.
What material is the plate made out of? Do you have any sample images to show the plate colours?
I assume since it is being anodized it's either 5052 or 6061 aluminum.

The money left over in the GB will be used for further improvments in the next rounds.
70 is the final goal for the plates, but i might be very optimistic. 41, is still much.
Yes, you can change the colors after i get the samples, but please note that i only get "dark red" and "blue" samples.

I like MX Green switches, and they were one of the few places I could find them in stock at the time. I also really liked the orange aluminum TEX case they had....
Yeah, I checked MK.com before, but being US-based is a pain with customs :( too bad, because I also love their TEX cases.
Also, probably a silly question, what kind of screws will I need to assemble this plate and pcb on a case? Are they included?
Not for this one, according to the comments :P Where could I go about getting some?

Case screws are almost always M2 with 0.4mm pitch. I use 4mm long screws for mine, but most cases support up to 5mm.The screws are always included with the case :)I'd say 7bit over at deskthority is a great source: http://deskthority.net/group-buys-f50/cherry-mx-taking-pre-orders-t2760.html

Is the pcb and plate are compatible with poker cases?
Does the pcb support gateron switchs ?
Is the controller built it when it is shipped or do we need to solder it?
What type of solder is recommend?
Are the stabilizers cherry stabilizers?
Is it really $4 for 100 LEDs?
Just to clarify the plate supports both standard ANSI and standard ISO?
Sorry if some of these questions are silly or the answers are in the first post, this is my first time purchasing from geekhack and my first build.

Yes they are compatible with the Poker cases.
The PCB and plate support Gaterons switches, Cherry MX switches and all the other clones.
The PCB is plug and play, no controller or firmware required.
For soldering the switches, almost all solder should work, people may recommend something for you.
The stabilisers are PCB mounted stabilisers which mounts on the PCB.
4$ for 100 LEDs is correct :)
It supports ANSI and ISO.

There are 3 types of stabilizers generally available for MX switches -- Costar (plate mount), and Cherry (PCB mount or plate mount). The only type which mount to the PCB are Cherry, so indeed, these are Cherry PCB mount stabilizers.
There is also a new player in the stabilizer game, Matias, whose stabilizers work with both MX and Alps switches. But those are plate mount only, and require a different type of hole in the mounting plate than either Costar or Cherry. Best not to worry about those yet. :)

I think so, but I will verify for you. It should support almost anything.

With all the delays sprit has experienced will using that PCB cause a long wait time? Or are they already made?He is extremely busy to get out the last orders for his GB. Fortunately, my order is separated from this and he will be able to ship the day after I put in the order for the PCBs.
As one of several people that have waited over a year for Sprit to ship the board I already paid for, this feels like a gigantic middle finger. :/
Good luck with the buy. If you ever want to make a full size plate+PCB GB, I might be in! I doubt I will ever see the PCB I bought directly from Sprit.

If someone make a PCB and case i am totally in for a full size.
I understand your concern about SPRiT, but i know that he is working on the orders now.
I am also sorry about your order, but i can't do anything.

Worse to post 70 packs at the postoffice. Here in Norway, it is normal to maybe post some letters or 1-2 packs. They have to put the stamps on, luckily i have already done the customs declaration home. Still uses about half an hour to calculate price and send. Not very cool when people line up behind.
Also, i cannot buy the stamps separately because of the requirments between the price classes, there are way to many!

This may seem like a silly question, but so it is. If I solder the switches into place does that mean the plate is set in place? Or can You just unscrew the screws to take the plate off? Wondering if i could swap plates around for looks.
Once the switches are soldered in place the plate is trapped between the PCB and switches. You won't be able to remove the plate without removing all the switches. This plate does allow you to remove the tops from the switches, but the bottom half of the switch is still holding the plate in place.

Wow, props to you! In my experience the rates to Japan are often much higher.Sorry if that was asked earlier, but how much would it be to ship it to Japan?10$ for 1 plate + 1 PCB :)
+3$ if you add up to 3 accessories.Neat! Do you by any chance have switches too? Also when does this group buy end? I might jump onto the bandwagon if you're still selling in a couple of weeks :)What kind of switches are you looking for?
Sorry, I just remembered the password to my GH account. I was looking for Cherry MX Clears and I ordered a board with them a few days ago. I'm looking for ZealPC clears to come out, and if the price is right, I'll jump onto the next GB round for this plate.

This will cost me much in shipping, as the orders are now, this will work out fine. It also helps that the plate weigh like 30g or something along those lines. If someone has some tips for packaging(i am not an expert at all) or want to cancel they order because of the freight, please feel free to do so.

I really want to do that, but the shipping will be way more than i want it to be. Double cardboard, bubblewrap, "fragile" notice and thin cardboard around, wouldnt than be enough?
If we compare to my last GB, only one of the plates were unusable. All of the others were just slighlty bent. In that GB, i only used a little bubblewrap and paper envelopes around. I know these are more fragile.

Got the samples. The plates are made of aluminium and are extremely light and bendable, like extremely. To make it suitable to send, i will have to add two layers of cardboard to but the plate(s) and PCBs between.

This may seem like a silly question, but so it is. If I solder the switches into place does that mean the plate is set in place? Or can You just unscrew the screws to take the plate off? Wondering if i could swap plates around for looks.
Once the switches are soldered in place the plate is trapped between the PCB and switches. You won't be able to remove the plate without removing all the switches. This plate does allow you to remove the tops from the switches, but the bottom half of the switch is still holding the plate in place.
Does it? How can you tell, just by looking at the plate? (I don't know that much about plates yet, sorry :p) This would be great for trying out different springs :D

Yes, that's just one of the benefits of having a plate. Pretty much all plates will allow that.

Depends on the type of switch cutouts:

You can see on the pictures that the cutouts aren'ts square but of the second type.

1. Paypal limited my account and locked very much money in my account. Luckily i barely made it to pay the plates, so the plates are in production.
2. I managed to refund the latest orders so i can invoice them later on another account if Paypal refuse to fix this tomorrow. The orders who don't get a refund now, will have to do nothing more. Your payment was used to pay the supplier. You will get everything, just as normal.
3. I have canceled most of the orders that has yet to pay. Continuing now, dont pay please.

First of all, I want to thank you for organizing this group buy. I have personal experience with Paypal and I completely sympathize with you; they seem to quickly forget that they provide services to manage someone else's money, not empty beer cans or something.
If the google sheets document is updated and correct, it seems many of our orders are yet to be invoiced. Shall we expect to have an invoice from you or from SPRiT regarding this group buy's orders? I simply want to be sure.
Thanks mate!

Okay so I am just waiting on a email from SPRiT then, as my invoice was sent then canceled a hour after :X if this is the case it might be worth changing on the google doc, to wait for invoice from SPRiT :X as I am thoroughly confused if I have a order or not with how its labeled :X
Nope, sorry about the confusion.
EVERYONE on the list has an order in my system. The list is there to tell you if your payment, before my PP was supsended, has gone through, refunded or canceled.
"Succesfully paid" - means the order has gone through and you don't need to wait for anything.
"Invoiced, but canceled invoice", or updated to "Will send new invoice", for clarity - means that i canceled your first invoice so your money wouldn't be in my suspended PP account. You will have to wait for a new invoice when we will start accepting payment again. Your order is still valid.
"Yet to invoice" - means that i have never invoiced you, and that i will do it when i start accepting payment. Your order is still valid.
"Refunded" - means that i didn't manage to cancel your order before you paid into my suspended PP account so i had to refund you. You will have to wait for a new invoice when we will start accepting payment again. Your order is still valid.
"Invoiced by SPRiT" - means that you will pay your part to SPRiT instead of me. I will not split the orders, you just pay your entire part to SPRiT and you will get all your stuff. This is to skip the "double transaction" via me.

Invoiced all the people that has joined the SEPA list ;D Hope you like my proffesional invoice, used way to much time getting these out!
Looks pretty professional! I like it!
BUT you forgot my gold stabs... I didn't order them in the first place, so it's kinda my fault.

Can you just add 10,70 € to the total before you send? That would save me a lot of time. Of course, I will create a new invoice if you need it.Invoiced all the people that has joined the SEPA list ;D Hope you like my proffesional invoice, used way to much time getting these out!

Add me also with SEPA ;) For the moment with my Bank account in Germany I can do **** with PayPal , I still have the account back home and I use that for PayPal, so I'm good either way. Now I understand why Germans avoid PayPal :-XPersonally, I've never had problems with PayPal, but I've never run a group buy before. Also, if I can skip on fees, I'm surely going to use SEPA when possible.
Ok, one thing: currency conversion is terrible with PP.

Is a sepa payment the same as a normal bank transfer? If so and you are in the Uk it would be preferred as we wouldn't need to worry about exchange rates and commission.
Yeah it is the same as normal bank transfer, but it only benfits if you are paying in EUROs. I am also in Norway, not UK.

As long as you can pay in Euros, you can use SEPA as payment in this GB.

To me it looks like the cutout for the caps lock is much wider than for a normal switch and goes all the way to the side of the plate, which is where the off-center caps switch would be.Did these support stepped caps-lock too?

Given the price difference, I figured that was the case. But I'm assuming they're the same thickness, so aside from anodizing, how much worse can plate be? Is the H-style plate design that much worse than the "four inverse corners" design? Apologies if this is not the place to ask.

That plate looks amazing! I cannot wait!
Post by: axtran on Fri, 04 September 2015, 08:27:02
This may seem like a silly question, but so it is. If I solder the switches into place does that mean the plate is set in place? Or can You just unscrew the screws to take the plate off? Wondering if i could swap plates around for looks.Once the switches are soldered in place the plate is trapped between the PCB and switches. You won't be able to remove the plate without removing all the switches. This plate does allow you to remove the tops from the switches, but the bottom half of the switch is still holding the plate in place.
Thanks for confirming that. Wasn't sure how that worked with pcb mount switches.
PCB mount switches have the same sides as plate mount switches. If anything, you can consider PCB mount switches "more physically secure" when used with a plate. :)

I received one of the cases that was suggested in the OP, the unlisted clear version. It's pretty good, especially considering it was only $20 shipped. It's basically a Poker 2 style case. It's not perfect, there's a few scratches if you look closely enough. It came with the clear adhesive feet, however it did NOT come with screws (fortunately I have an extra set from somewhere, otherwise can be ordered from McMaster I think, same size as TEX case screws). So if you were on the fence about that case or the seller, just know that it worked out for me! :thumb:Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/DcrsKlK.jpg)

Um... What is this?? How did you order that clear case? That looks really nice, and could probably be sanded down for LED diffusion...

The original post of this thread includes a link to a site with cheap cases. Apparently you can order them (besides the advertised models black and white) in clear too when asking the seller directly.

I got a lot off parts and all the plates yesterday and the day before.
Shipping the orders i can. I am still waiting on some parts from SPRiT. He has ordered some PCBs from his factory because some didn't pass his QC.
I have shipped some orders and i will continue tomorrow. I don't have that much time because it is very time consuming(15 minutes to pack each package).
Let me know of any questions.

Shipped 5 orders today.
Very few PCBs left, so we need to wait for SPRiT. Nothing I can do, I am only doing my best :)
For the store:
I plan on buying in a larger amount of Zealios to be sold, if I have the money after shipping all the orders.
I have also ordered some more plates because I accidentally oversold the black plates by 1.
In that order there are also some Purple ones and.... ;-)
Yes. I may be able to get a very limited number of CARBON FIBER plates. Crazy expensive, but I know some of you like it so why not.
Please let me know if you have any questions

I'm not ready to dish out for a Tex just yet, and the suggested one from Aliexpress gives me pause.
Has anyone used this case? http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Gh60-kit-mechanical-keyboard-poker2-pcb-diy-mechanical-keyboard-liner-gh60-metal-shell/32260922859.html (http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Gh60-kit-mechanical-keyboard-poker2-pcb-diy-mechanical-keyboard-liner-gh60-metal-shell/32260922859.html) Looks decent for the price.
Another option is this Vortex https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=1002 (https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=1002) but I can't tell if it's cast plastic or a metal of some kind.
This is my first build so I am a little nervous about picking the best parts.

The first one (red aliexpress) has been seen at massdrop here: https://www.massdrop.com/buy/60-keyboard-case
The Vortex one is cast aluminum. Plastic would be "molded". I'm fairly certain it's the same one seen on some Pok3rs.
Post by: eeymiel on Thu, 10 September 2015, 16:33:02
I got the linked aliexpress case to save some money. You can also get it in clear, wish I knew before I ordered the white one :P I'll think I'll upgrade my case later to something better looking and feeling. Thinking wood or aluminium. But for know I'm waiting for all the components to get here and hoping I don't have to pay too much import tax and import handling fees.
Aside from this groupbuy I'm waiting on my:
- zealio purple switches
- vortex backlit white keycaps
- sip sockets (to easily change leds)

Post by: childofthehorn on Thu, 10 September 2015, 19:32:41
The acrylic is very solid and the backlighting of the case with the SPiRiT PCBs is just a perfect combination.
So I have a Purple Plate and the JTKeycaps debut Cherry profile Purple and White caps. So Planning on doing a Purple LED backlight on the keys.

@LeanderN: do you have any plans for some nice 60% cases too ? Something simple in alu ? For example a layered sandwich one ? The company who made the plates should be able to make something like that too :cool: I've always wanted something like the SPRiT acryl case where only the bottom is acryl and the top layer is anodized alu , something like that should be not very expensive and would look pretty sick :cool:I am going to tell you that I am working on something like this :) going to take some time though.

I am also a member of Ivan's RS84v3 group buy that ran in parallel to this group buy. That 60% case I linked looks similar to the case included in the RS84 kit. I can't wait!
Again, I would like to thank you LeandreN for the frequent updates. All those emails, the many posts here on the thread, I know those take time. I greatly appreciate you going the extra mile to provide world class communication and service that puts a very specific professional website to shame ( o.0 ).

Got my package today, I'm more than happy, this was a really smooth GB and the result is awesome. The plate wasn't bent at all, even if in my photo it looks a little on the pink side it's a perfect brilliant purple. The quality is very good and the design is awesome, JD knows his plates :thumb:
Big thank you for this GB, the plate will go with a GH60, after I get it :)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/izUJiOW.jpg)
Thanks !, i think you need to fix your picture link to http://i.imgur.com/izUJiOW.jpg though.
Thanks for posting :D

Got mine this morning, and got everything built now just 3 hours later, everything went super smooth and the pcb is lovely, used the plate from your first buy which looks nice now :) just uploading a few work in progress pics now and should have a final one when I get home with it all done!
Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Looking forward to those pictures.

Only issue I have is that my space bar and backspace are really mushy and feel like they are getting stuck on the downstroke is that a issue with GMK sets or gateron switches otherwise everything is super, just those two switches when pressed are horrible :X but nothing you did :p otherwise great groupbuy and very happy with how everything is.

Have you clipped the Cherry stabilisers?
Ohh update on this turned out to be mainly gateron keys although what would I need to do to clip them any links to a guide :X ?
Edit I mean gateron stems as its a lot less pronounced when used with cherry stems but if you could still point me in the right way to clip those that might be great :)

I just got my parts and here are some pictures http://imgur.com/a/aoxRx
Now to just wait for some switches to arrive. :thumb:
Dat Blue :eek: :eek: :thumb:
All the colors of the plate are vibrant and extremely impressive. I'm kinda kickin' myself for going conservative with silver.
I would definitely be interested in making more purchases in the future.

Are all orders shipped out?No. Still waiting on an update from SPRiT for the last orders for those who ordered a PCB.
My order only contains two plates, and I haven't gotten an update on it.
Please check and let me know :thumb: Thanks
I'll have to check later today if yours is shipped out, but I really think it :)
I haven't marked it as shipped in the form in using, but I will check if I have shipped aomething to your address. I think I just forgot to mark it as shipped :)

I don't have any orders with Sprit, only plates with you. Why would the plates be with sprit?
Post by: LeandreN on Wed, 16 September 2015, 00:31:27
I'm confused. You said all plates were shipped out from your side.They aren't with SPRiT. If I've told you that they have shipped, they have shipped.

I just need to doublecheck my shipping form later today, as I don't have access to it now. I am 99% sure yours has shipped.

Just get a tray and soak the entire board in iso. Brush off.
If you didn't have ABS in the switches, I would say Flux Cleaner or Acetone... but ABS ....

Is the spreadsheet being updated on a regular basis? I keep checking it to see if mine has been shipped ^^Did you order a Sprit pcb? If you did you're waiting on Leandren receiving the rest, and I bet he'll post on here when he gets them. I'm also pretty sure he's keeping the sheet updated.
Post by: LeandreN on Fri, 18 September 2015, 07:43:09
I would like to add a little update here.
First of all, i am sorry for the significant delay because of the PCBs from Sprit. Unfortunately, this isn't something i can fix. Ill just have to wait, just like you, for a response.
He is busy, sick and still insists on doing these group buys. He is a very friendly guy, but inconsistent.
No reason to panic or anything of that sort, i am sure he will respond early next week(he is usually online on Mondays). As i mentioned before, these PCBs will be sent via EMS, which is much faster, to me. I am just as impatiently as you. It is always sad news when my GB is delayed, even just slightly, and especially when i can't do anything about it.
I have been investing the GB money in new things for the shop, to get stuff to EU at reasonable prices, but mostly about the availability itself. I have been talking with Vortex & Corus a lot. I have also experimented with new materials and such. In addition to these, i will be stocking a limited number of Zealios in my store. 100% of the GB money goes to reinvestments for my online store.
My day hasn't been the best day, but something that really makes all this work worth it:

I have indeed seen that one, but the shipping is a little pricey to the netherlands. and on Alieexpress they don't have the right color (black or silver)Okay. I don't know of any else unless you search "GH60" on Aliexpress.

Still nothing from SPRiT. Sorry :-/
Let me know if you have any questions.
Post by: LeandreN on Tue, 22 September 2015, 00:05:36
I really expected him to contact me by now. It has been over a week.
He needed to send a lot of PCBs, and some parts.
I don't have the funds to refund everyone 100%, as the payments went to pay the supplier, freight, packaging material, taxes, more taxes and investments.
If you want me to ship out the order as it is, let me know.
If you want to wait for SPRiT, that's fine.
I can refund you (I feel obligated too), but I don't think that would be the best solution for me as of now. I can only refund the parts missing in that case.
This is a difficult case for me, and hopes aren't lost, I just feel like there has been a long delay.
I sincerely apologise,
LeandreN

It's the "in the end" that's the problem. Waiting is not a problem when you know the timeframe, preferable ahead of time but you can adjust if things go wrong. Waiting for an indeterminate moment sucks though. Maybe GH'ers disagree, since a lot of stuff here seems to be done on rather long timetables :)
Maybe I'm old-fashioned but I think that once money changes hands you are bound to deliver as soon as you can and provide updates to your customer. Clearly LeandreN is excellent at this. Sprit... maybe not so much.
Post by: zenless on Tue, 22 September 2015, 07:47:00
-Don't solder until you know your stabilizers are on right :)
-Don't put your LED's in until you are happy with everything else
-Be careful snipping your LED leads..btw replacement SMD resistors seem to be 910 ohms..
-Buy a solder sucker, way easier than wick if you have to unsolder 60+ keys and LEDS

That information was already out there so we at least knew what we were potentially getting into. That's why I don't think anyone should ask for a refund either, even though LeandreN is very graceful to offer. Not at this point at least. We're all grown ups and if you did your research you knew there was a chance of delays.

So, everything arrived safe and sound, no bending! I am just a littel confused. I can't find the mounting postitions for the side LEDs like in this video that was posted with the info about the PCB http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLG-nNBTnoggGvpK5i9XM3w/videos Can anybody help me with that?
These PCBs don't have side LEDs. It looks to me like he just ran the switch LEDs under the PCB and maybe bent them sideways for that effect:

for those who got the CF plates, will you be emailing a shipping tracking info?I will be sending a shipping notification.
No tracking is available.
I have very many orders to fix these days, but CF plates are prioritised along with the GB orders.
Stay tuned.
Post by: LeandreN on Tue, 29 September 2015, 07:03:26
SPRiT randomised the order so a lot of my stuff will go into this order, and I will take what's rest.
Missing a set of 50g gold springs and a set of 72g springs still.
That's pretty good for a large order like this. Will take at least a week to pack up everything and send. Stay tuned!

Hi, I just finished my build today and it surely was fun but I have quite a big problem. The keyboard stopped working after sometime and pluging it out and in again, the PC did not identify it. I tried to upgrade the firmware but it said "problems downloading.." and now it stopped working at all. Did I kill something on the keyboard or is it possible to reset the firmware somehow? thanksNot great.
I am not sure what's happening here. I would refer to the SPRiT 60% parts thread for assistance. People here are also really helpful. If you don't find anything that helps you, contact me and I can see if I can send a replacement. I also sent a mail to SPRIT, but i doubt he will answer anytime soon.
Post by: TalkingTree on Sat, 03 October 2015, 03:58:21
Is it possible to reset the firmware somehow?SPRiT's 60% is a FaceW so you can use this tutorial (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=58945.0).

Thank you, I already posted there too, and tried everything written there. The Problem is my board does not get into the bootloader I guess.Meaning it doesn't get into bootloader state by plugging the usb cable with the Q key pressed down?
If you have remapped it to somewhere else, for example to get a Dvorak layout, I guess you still need to hold the default Q key down as it's the first key in the matrix.
Post by: fgsz291 on Sat, 03 October 2015, 06:07:34
Are there any leftovers or anyway I can get a new board for around the same price?

about half the plates that i've ordered show up bent, pro tip to everyone. bubble envelopes are not the proper way to ship plates.

What? CF bent? Please provide some pictures, i packaged it in a cardboard box.
I read that as: previous plates were bent and now his computer broke so he will have to sell the CF plate when it arrives, presumably for cash to fix the computer.

What? CF bent? Please provide some pictures, i packaged it in a cardboard box.
No sorry, i meant that quite often when i buy plates from people they show up bent, often because poor packing. ( just stuffing them in bubble mailers )
CF won't bend, it will just flex till it snaps. I don't have it in hand yet, hoping to get it today.

Hey, some of you were looking for a case. I just saw Dulphin has lowered the price. 60$ shipped is VERY reasonable for Europe and for an acrylic case. 70$ is also a great shipped price for International.

Thank you for the reference. How does this case compare with the Tex Acrylic CNC case?

I haven't tried the TEX acrylic, but this one feels really nice and solid to be honest.Hey, some of you were looking for a case. I just saw Dulphin has lowered the price. 60$ shipped is VERY reasonable for Europe and for an acrylic case. 70$ is also a great shipped price for International.

Most of you have received your orders now?
I think mine shipped out after you put the extra pcbs up on your site. I'm on the other side of the world so it will take a while though :thumb:

Got mine today! Plate is perfect! The PCB is missing a resistor (?) on the 2 though. Should I be worried about this, or will it still work fine.Depends if its a resistor or a diode. If you're missing a diode you'd better ****ing solder one on. If you're missing a resistor and you're not planning on using an LED on that key, then no problem, but if you are then you should add one. Also, another Burlington person??? This is getting out of control.

Burlington, Ontario, Canada. Haha. You're not the first person to say that though. :))Got mine today! Plate is perfect! The PCB is missing a resistor (?) on the 2 though.

It looks like it was soldered at some point, but broke off? Any advice?

Diodes are dirt cheap. and there's holes for a through hole one if you don't want to do an smd. Or you could just jump it with a small wire, diodes are there to fix ghosting and masking when multiple keys are pressed at once. How many keycombo's are you making where you're holding down "2" ?
Post by: tofgerl on Sun, 18 October 2015, 09:27:41
But your point is both correct and good. Diodes and resistors are almost thrown after you when buying other components.

I won't be doing much with it. Mostly using this board for typing at school I think. I wanted to run LEDs in all of the switches though. I know nothing about this kind of thing though. I can solder just fine. If I'm using LEDS, should I solder a new diode in? What diode do I need and where can I get it? Haha. Like I said, I know nothing. Anything helps.It looks like it was soldered at some point, but broke off? Any advice?

You'd may as well put a diode in and do it properly, the through hole ones are called 1W4148 and the black stripe on the diode goes on the side with the line on the PCB symbol.
If you're not planning on building lots of keyboards I'd post in the "free stuff" thread and ask for one, some friendly Canadian will surely have one going spare. Mouser (http://uk.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Fairchild-Semiconductor/1N4148/?qs=i4Fj9T/oRm8RMUhj5DeFQg==) will sell me a single one for £0.066 or 100 for £0.012 each but they want much more than the price of a stamp to post it, unlike someone on here :))

I probably know the answer to this question, but are there any extras? I cant find a sprit PCB anywhere.
In case there's not any left over, SPRiT recently made a deal with MK.com to carry his PCBs:

I highly doubt it. He's AWOL it seems. Logging on every now and again but never posting or answering PMs/emails.
If you really really want to keep supporting his behavior, I would buy his PCBs from the MK.com site. You'll get the PCB faster that way.. Sad, but true.

I have deicded to not support SPRiT and find a PCB elsewhere. I really want a planck pcb but olkb is so backed up I am trying to find one secondhand.

Of course. I never really was asking about the plate in the first place mostly the SPRiT FaceW PCB.

Fourth (?). I did the same suggestion on reddit, TKL is probably not going to happen as it would cost too much in shipping costs. 75% might be possible. Maybe he can join in on Ziptyze his Winkeyless groupbuy (IC is up on /r/MechMarket and exploding)

75% cases are hard to find
Indeed. It's probably one of the least popular or common layouts for mechanicals these days.

Awesome! Great to see that you found the best switches ;-)
Been Using Gateron Blues for the last 7 months and 4 months ago switched in 68g Sprit gold springs. This new guy has 68g on the big modifiers and 62g norms so its weird because everything feels pretty even in terms of force instead of the modifiers feeling like they are less.
These are the closest feeling to an alps that is a Cherry mechanism and yeah they are the best. Way better than the cherry blues or greens. No grit, more tactile, more thock with less high pitched click, less rattle, can be silenced, and cheaper to boot. Kailh is the only one of these off brand guys that are not even matching the quality of the original.

I used to like Cherry MX Blue until I tried Green, which is then that I realized that Cherry Blues were too "sharp" to the ears. When I tried Gateron Blue I fell in love. They sounded more like Green, but felt better. May try swapping them with some 62g SPRiTs I have.

Looks great! :thumb:
Any problems with the 3mm LEDs bumping against the keycaps? I've run into that problem with those bottom mounted 3mm LEDs and Cherry profile caps in general.

This one is amazing. Thanks for posting. I wish those JTK caps came in ISO layout...

Looks great! :thumb:No Issues with the 3MM LEDs as I really tucked them in there. It clears with less than a mm of total clearance for the downstroke. However, Cherry profile was just perfect for this choice as it really lets the keys glow nicely underneath. Still, need to install the underglow LEDs which will be mostly white.
