Will you committ?
« on: Sun, 27 March 2011, 23:10:48 »
KL has taken the lead on the GH custom keyboard project and needs at least a 100 member committment to make the deal and get production rolling.
He got 144 people to say yes but only 63 committed to Clears for the switch.
The rest were in favor of Reds or didnt' want the project at all.  Here's the thread:
http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?t=15862
The biggest kicker, is that EK will not committ to "Clears" anyway and so for sure no deal.
If 100 peeps can committ to Reds, then maybe this can take off again.  Or, maybe Majestouch will committ to Clears if 100 peeps committ to that.  I don't get why he won't do Clears but maybe numbers will convince him otherwise...  
Your call..

So it's gonna be GH's exclusive, tenkeyless with either red or clear switches, correct?  Oh and how much if we were to commit?

It's Reds or Clears, as far as our choices from KL go but apparently, according to KL, Magestouch won't do Clears, which is weird considering there are 63 committed to them already.
I get the impression he likes and will get Reds, sooner or later anyway and that may fly but I can't confirm that bit.
As far as "how much"?  Only KL would know if he knows that information yet or not.

voted and will pay for clears.  i imagine EK will eventually stock leopolds with reds so i don't see why doing something with clears wouldn't be a better choice insofar as clears are the more rare switch.

Actually, I agree and frankly, I would rather see Clears(I vote for them and will pay for them as well), since I also believe he'll do Leo Reds anyway and yes Clears would be more unique!  I'm not getting why he wouldn't do it but maybe he will if he's presented w/100 or more Clears peeps?  Anyone else?  Come on folks, let do it!

In seeing this outcome, I say let's produce 100 or more "Clears" votes and present EK w/a commitment!  I can't imagine why he wouldn't do it but 33 more peeps have to vote Clears to test it to find out.  YOU know who you are.  Jump on board and let's do this!

I like clears better than reds, but I'm not interested in the proposed GH keyboard at this time; regardless of switch type. Also, making such a low volume of boards with clears or any rare switch could raise the cost substantially since you wouldn't be buying the switches in bulk. (10k switches isn't "bulk" to the factories making these boards.)

Would commit if the switches were read and the keyboard was like 130 USD or less. And of course, I'd need to see pics of the keyboard itself.

I'd love a GH exclusive kbd.

I commit to buy one. Either RED or Clear with a preference to MX Clear.

Was there any estimate of the price range?

I learned it from following the Unicomp Mini and ErgoKeyboards subforum.


Do you expect anything mini/10kless from Unicomp?

As for money talks, I never research it but I'm sure we can find a trust fund service where we can safely make individual deposits, track the fund progress and use the capital to get the boards when we reach the quota required or... If we don't make it in a given time get refunded with minimal fees.

Again, is there anything serious about a GH exclusive keyboard?

It wouldn't surprise me if ebay or paypal has such service. Any honest layer or accountant in the room?
