I'd be interested in a DIY kit, would be nice to get a spare case and plate for the pcb I already have, but not the end of the world since it was pretty cheap.
I'm definitely interested in an assembled JD40, but would want to see the case first before making a decision. Also interested in the keyset too!

Would be interested in one, option for no plate?
Will there be a blue color offered for the cases? Or colors other than black/silver?
Is this affiliated with jdcarpe?
Will you be selling the caps separate or just within the GB?

If we can get the price point down to $135 I'd be VERY interested. Please consider selling just the cases as well since many of us might have already ordered a JD40 pcb. I'm not ready to spend $200+ on a board that I'm not convinced that the viability is there.

We are hoping to keep it that low, but it will be $50 extra for the keycaps!
I for one would like to have the keycaps included.

As would I but since there are a lot of people who don't need or don't want the keycaps it would be easier to make them an optional add-on instead of making it higher for everyone. That would mean less sales because the people who have sets to use don't want to pay extra money when they could have it for cheaper.
I'm just waiting for the samples. They should be here real soon!
I'll take some pictures as soon as I do!
Looks super clean. How tall is the case once the plate is in?Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/Ac5bz0D.jpg)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/IkSvLna.jpg)
I do not have the samples in hand yet. I'll show more when I do get some pictures.

These are such standard color options. Why not do something more interesting?
Definitely possible. We had the samples from last week already. We are just awaiting some external products to complete the build and do some sound-testing on this quality stainless steel plate.
I might be down for purple

If you're taking suggestions into consideration I'd love purple/violet and pink at least, even red or lime green would be cool. Black/white/silver are classics of course and I like white cases personally but I'm more of a unique colour kinda guy.
Partial to british racing green or burnt orange personally if you're taking suggestions. Or at the very least, something that will look decent with TAC (https://www.massdrop.com/buy/the-amazing-chocolatier-custom-sa-keycap-set?mode=guest_open)

y u do dis, wallet still recovering from the Keyboard & Co + all the artisans that have been popping up as of late haha.
Looking forward to it!
Will you be attending the meet up? I really can't wait to show this keyboard. It's amazingly smooth, but that can be good and bad.

Oh no, unfortunately not, I wish I could! I meant I'm looking forward to the JD40s becoming available - will you still offer assembly as an option as you tend to with your kits?
Haha, yeah. I just wanted to know if you were coming so you can try out the keyboard!
The keyboard will be offered through assembly. The assembly is really clean. :)

I'd love to! I'm sure I'll like it though even without trying it, but it'd be very cool. Living in Europe and in a small country at that makes it so I have to miss out on all the cool events and meets that you guys get together in the US.
Glad to hear it'll be offered fully assembled! I'm too lazy and incompetent to solder stuff myself haha.
When is the meet by the way? Just curious.

LOL, too funny, Virgrith,
Artisans have gotten me too. My first was a yellow Mechashark, followed by 3 hot key projects (2 beserkers (yellow, navy) & 1 navy raven), 1 holy oops (red berserker), & 2 incoming WOB twisted crusaders (black & red). August was a busy month indeed. I'll be ready for the GB. Sherry, what are going to be the options, such as case colors, switches (such as cherry, gaterons), and will LEDs be an option? Oh yeah, one more thing, along with the split space bar option, will a single 6.25 space bar option be available too?
We will definitely post pictures, but you might see pictures from other people before you see ours hahaha

Haha yea, I bought a bunch of artisans through Massdrop (multiple Gems, multiple Jelly Keys, etc), a few Hot Key Project ones (can't wait for the black Raven for both my topre and MX especially) and a bunch of others. Going to be ordering plenty of HolyOOPS aluminium caps too soon enough (dat Totoro tho), rip wallet forever.
I love that case too, if Sherry is still sticking w/ those colors, it's between rose pink & red. I just need to see what the colors look like in order to decide.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/Ac5bz0D.jpg)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/IkSvLna.jpg)

That case looks sick! I've been looking for a nice JD40 case for awhile and I'd definitely buy this!! Looking forward to getting more details about the buy.
I'm sure grey, black and rose pink will all look awesome! I'm secretly hoping for purple (my favourite colour), rose gold/champagne or just white but I'm happy enough with the options Sherry suggested.
PS: Let me know if there's any super cool caps in that list Martin is going to be sending you, I asked him about a Macaroon (baby blue/pink) raven for my CtrlAlt Miami board but was told it is no longer available. :( At least my regular black ravens and berserker will arrive tomorrow I'm hoping, or the day after, so that's cool.
Understood, I've got you. I'm primarily interested in the black/purple & translucent purple Ravens. I've already got a purple minivan, will have a turquoise arrow layout van soon. I try to have different keyboard cases b/c I love colors!

Yea the black/purple raven is awesome and the translucents are cool too; mechsupply will be getting a pretty large batch of neon yellow & coral translucent berserkers fairly soon from Martin as well so I'll be getting in on that, probably for 2 of each. Need to order some more topre artisans too because I'm getting a HHKB soon enough (probably around new years), so far the only one I'll have is one of the Ravens I'm getting.
Jealous of the purple minivan, that must look awesome! I got in on the turquoise arrow layout too on MD, will be having a friend assemble it for me right after the kit arrives (bless her cotton socks for having the patience because I'm inept) - very much looking forward to that.
Need to start thinking of a cool set to use with this JD40 board as well for once it arrives! I probably have some that fit already but you know.

We'll announce the options next Monday, but you can talk to us about at the LA meet up!
I'll let you know that LED will not be an option we are working on though.
I would be totally down for this. Is this the v1 or v2 version of the PCB and plate? From what I understand the v2 allows for more customizations to the bottom row?It's the JD40 V2 PCB.
I don't know if I missed it in the thread, but will the cap sets be a stand alone option for those of us that already have a jd40? I would love a cherry profile set that actually matches the layout.

Would it be possible to get a kit without switches as I'm already sitting on a bunch?
This kit is awesome. Any word on how reputable this buyparty.io group is? I know they're new

If you're planning to rerun through buyparty, may I suggest doing some cleanup or changes to their login/account setup process. It was pretty finicky when I was trying to set up an account
Yeah, I've already told them to fix the account/login. We're going to try to bypass that if possible
No case color options? Option for no switches?I've got the same question. I believe you mentioned case color options of black, grey, pink, and red. Also, I log into the site for it & there was no option to buy w/o switches. Well, I'm looking forward to the next time around.

The JD40 itself only comes with the case, plate, and pcb. The switches are on the side and you can choose to order them.

Yeah, I'll add that information. We're going to do a new re-launch. This is where the MOD-SH will be sold and limited to only 100 units!
We're also going to drop the price of the JD40 to welcome new buyers. The current buy isn't 'Live' yet.
