Phantom Custom Keyboard Group Buy (CLOSED)

[Findecanor]

Gah! I almost forgot to order DIODE 88 !

[maoiste]

I did clearall at 14:52 and send my updated order at 14:55 and got a email this evening:

Dear maoiste,
here is your updated pre-order:
in order to come forward with this group buy, I need your shipping address!

So my order did not get processed yet and the bot only got clearall ?

[alaricljs]

Also, what value resistors are being shipped with those white LEDs?  

[mkawa]

my order seems to have been munged. no longer includes a pcb or diodes. also, if greys are going to be significantly less, i guess i'll jump on the gray bandwagon

eta: nvm. seems to have been fixed. one more change incoming to switch to greys

Price for grey went down again to 0.5 EUR or $0.65 .
0.5*1.3176==.65880
:shock:

[digitalleftovers]

What is the status of the 'case' option?  Previously, there was discussion that the acrylic wasn't very cost effective to produce, but I'm wondering if any increased interest may have changed that?

[alaricljs]

Litster is working on that as completely separate from this.  It may or may not materialize, or it may be a 'here are the plans/specs, good luck'.

[7bit]

OK, MX grey is now as cheap as any other switch.

Thanks!

Now comes the green switch:
479

What are the green ones like? I've ordered 2 of them...

[maoiste]

is it the grey switch linear or tactile ?

[hashbaz]

Extra stiff blue.

[demik]

Lighter than grey, stiffer than blue. Possibly the greatest switch ever.

[7bit]

Lighter than grey, stiffer than blue. Possibly the greatest switch ever.

So you think we should better order a set of 100 or two?

[digitalleftovers]

Unless someone at OTD has done it, we might be there first people with all-mx green boards.

Cherry says 2.3 oz, so ~65g click action switch.

I'm thinking of switching my order from blue to green. I don't think I can spend money on both

Actually, I might get the greens to mod my poker to all greens instead of the browns it has.

How do I order again? Also, I just got an email asking me for my shipping again.. Was that an accident?

LOL. Thats pretty awesome.

No it updates the next time, unless something went wrong.

Just set the quantity of what you want to remove to 0.

MXGREEN 100
MXBLUE 0

[tsangan]

when i send the address do I need to put my email?

Not bad!

More than 80 Phantom PCBs.

Let's make it 100!

[demik]

I did the first time. Is anybody near a poker and would be kind enough to let me know how many switches I'd need order not counting ones with LEDs?

[kaiserreich]

Poker has 61 switches.
There are total of 7 keys with LEDs.

[demik]

So I'd need 54. Thank you!

[TheProfosist]

I think that my order may have been screwed up as I got a email saying I ordered nothing I shall resubmit and see what happens.

[tsangan]

I still don't know if I want 2 or not!!!!! :faint:

[TheProfosist]

Ill gladly build you 2 If i could get a acrylic case I would make one with greens with a standard layout.

[demik]

You can build me a Dox!

[eth0s]

I know it's late, but will this work?

Phansigreenkit 1

[TheProfosist]

would be glad to more info is here

[alaricljs]

As of 3 days ago, no green kit code.  I'm guessing you'll have to part it out.

[7bit]

I know it's late, but will this work?

Phansigreenkit 1

Added GREEN and GREY options for kits.

[eth0s]

OK, so i'm ordering the PHANSIGREENKIT 1, and nothing else.  I hope it has everything I need.  Thx for the quick reply 7bit.

blurk, ok, looks like i'm just getting a PHANSIWINGREYKIT then, since that's all my order was.

actually, 7bit, can you give us an update on what the unit prices for grey/green switches are up to now?

[mkawa]

gah! ok, you've got me; i'm loading up on greens too.

[F u r u y á]

Alright screw the other layouts, I'm going with 7bit's

:rockon:

[Autolyze]

Hmm... I'm a little tempted to go green as well. Right now I've got a 7Bit layout with clears and an ANSI with blues, but all of the switches are so nice...

[mkawa]

get the greens. you know you want them

[Autolyze]

I was hoping to test out the green switch a little by putting a single unit keycap on my blue Leopold's space once I got home from work, but as soon as I sat down and popped the spacebar off, I remembered that the Leopold actually uses a blue switch for space. Dammit.

[hashbaz]

Totally in for greens.

[digitalleftovers]

Totally in for greens.

Its a revolution!

[litster]

Also, what value resistors are being shipped with those white LEDs?  

Right now the resistors I am using on the prototype is 75ohm for a 3.5v LED.  It is too bright as is withouth the firmware change.  But with firmware change it is fine.  We could probably go with a more resistive resistor.  Any suggestion.

I just got out of an all-day meeting as work.  It is amazing to see there are like 3 new pages of posts!  Nothing like trying to get in before a deadline!!!

[alaricljs]

Wanted to know since I have some special LEDs for someone and they need 100ohms which I do not as yet have.  Any chance you have 4 of those you could throw into the package headed my way ?

Why more resistance?

[alaricljs]

Lower voltage LEDs like mine   The series of LEDs I picked from run from 2.8 to 3.4 volts depending on color, with all of them functioning properly at 3.1 volts which works nicely with 100 Ohms.

Well I know that! But I is that what he meant?

Its hard to cater to everyone. Since resistance required is dependent on Voltage and Current of the LEDs.

[alaricljs]

Using the higher resistance with the same LEDs he is distributing will mean the particular LEDs he has will be a little dimmer at MAX brightness.  He's already said that level of brightness is a bit extreme.

Also it will mean that people can buy cheapass LEDs on ebay from this dude:  ebay and have Litster's resistors ready to go.  (if they are 100Ohms)

[litster]

Yes, strong resistors will lower the brightness of the LEDs.  So right now I am using 75ohm resistors.  It would be a lot of work to de-solder all the switches to replace the 75ohm resistor with another resistor.  Could just just solder another resistor on the other side of the PCB to increase resistance?  What is the right resistance to add to the back to make 100ohm?  I can probably get one locally t test with, and if 100ohm works with the current LEDs, maybe we can just change all resistors to 100ohm.
