Phantom Custom Keyboard Group Buy (CLOSED)

[Tranquilite]

Plate-mount Cherry stabilizers are out of stock every where around the world.

Only half true. Mouser does have plate mount 2x1 stabilizers in stock (part #540-G99-0224). You are right about the spacebar stabilizers being out of stock everywhere though. However, the wires are the same for PCB and Plate mount stabilizers, so you can just harvest the spacebar wire from a donor board if you happen to have one (like me). So if you really want cherry stabilizers you can get them, but it would be unreasonable to try and have them available in the group buy.

[litster]

yes, you are right.  We could also order from our Cherry switch source.  I was wishy washy before :-).  Most people like costar more, and I figured out how to bend 7x bars.  The plates still support Cherry stabilizers so you can still use them, but you will have to procure them yourselves.

[WhiteFireDragon]

Sent in my order! Now just waiting for the invoice to pay.

[WhiteFireDragon]

Anyone know where I can get a plate like this done? It's basically the PHANSIWIN plate, except the space bar is broken into two, so maybe it can be filled with 2 large spherical caps to be space bar and backspace. This is what I wanted from the 7bit plate, because I feel the 7bit plate has too many switches on the bottom for my personal usage. I just want it simple like the stock Filco layout, except two space bars.

Here's a quick picture I edit of the PHANSIWIN plate and my own keyboard to visualize what I want from this build. Notice that this plate also supports stabilizers for both space bars. Can anyone confirm if the PCB can support this layout and the swtich holes will line up properly? if it does, I will probably try to find somewhere that can cut a plate like this.

[WhiteFireDragon]

Yea I could probably do it with simple tools, but look at the shape of the cut out. Does not look that simple and I'd rather not spend over a day filing it to a perfect shape.

[7bit]

The switch source: either 250 or 500 not just 330 2 units stabilisers. MOQ for 6.25 or 7  units would have been far too high.

[WhiteFireDragon]

I sent my order via PM to Phantom. How long does it take to get my invoice to pay? I want to send the payment ASAP, before the payment deadline.

Btw, who was in charge of the plate design and who did the water-jet cuts for them?

[tsangan]

Still no confirmation email 7bit regarding my payment

[demik]

i dont think anybody got one.

i know i didnt

[mkawa]

[demik]

I checked for you two, we received your payments.

[demik]

good to know, thanks litster

[WhiteFireDragon]

@ lister or 7bit,

Can you please send me the actual invoice to pay? I've been waiting for a few days now, and still did not get an invoice. I only got the preorder email, which just confirmed me what I wanted and it said:

This is only a pre-order! Prices might change! Please do not pay!

I need the actual invoice to pay.

[litster]

You need to wait for 7bit to run his script to generate and send your invoice to you.

[WhiteFireDragon]

Well when will he run it? It's been a few days, and payment deadline is in a few hours.

[Zoxc]

@WhiteFireDragon: Try to order one of the payment methods. I think I got an invoice when I did.

It would also be nice if you posted a list of people who have payed and who hasn't. I haven't gotten any confirmation on payment either.

[litster]

Last day to pay.  Pay now if you haven't already.  Thanks.

[kaiserreich]

I've paid Biniaris.
But shouldn't there be a receipt?

[WhiteFireDragon]

I paid too via paypal last night, didn't get any kind of receipt/confirmation.

[mkawa]

simmer down folks. i think biniaris has to get payment info to 7bit, who then runs his scripts to deliver receipts. there were at least a few days between payment and getting my receipt (which just said paid in full). i mean, as long as you have an invoice and the paypal confirmation, i think you should be fine...

[litster]

If paypal says you paid, then it should be fine.  kaiserreich, I see your payment recorded.

Please notice that you told me, that we try to find lower shipping costs for far-away shippings, so not everybody paid their shipping costs!!!

[F u r u y á]

Exactly, I did not paid the shipping following 7bit's recommendation.

I got a strange item

Code: [Select]

SHIPKO   |? Shipping costs to Korea (42 EUR)    |55.00|  1|  1| 55.00

so I asked 7bit and he told me to not pay the shipping.


litster, so is it ok my payment and now I just wait for a new quotation for the shipping?

[litster]

Furuya, your payment is good for now.  BiNiaRiS will let you know later how much shipping it is going to be for you.  Thanks.

[F u r u y á]

Ok. Thanks!

[litster]

FYI, we are in the process of doing some accounting work and getting parts ordered.  It is going to take a few days to a week to get everything ordered.

[Sojik]

Thanks guys. I'm excited.

[mkawa]

hooray

[Tranquilite]

The group buy is going along very smoothly considering all of the work that has needed to be done. Here's hoping that the ordered parts don't take too long to manufacture.

[litster]

hehe, you should come see how the sausages are made!  We have so much email going on behind the scene :-)

[dorkvader]

Hey, I got another "please pay" email from 7bit's bot. Am I paid up?

[tsangan]

Hey, I got another "please pay" email from 7bit's bot. Am I paid up?

I thought I did too till I read the bottom line

"Everything has been paid up to the penny!"

Dunno if yours is the same as mine

[alaricljs]

Hey 7bit, do I get free Weiner Shnitzel for post 1500?

I'm that good :first:

You are fine.

[gimpster]

Yah, read all the way to the end. It should have a line for how much you've paid and how much is remaining (if any) but it sounds like everyone is accounted for already.

[dorkvader]

I had a previous one that got sent out ofter I paid that said that, but this one said "Please pay --> $$$$ <-- until the 22nd Feb via PayPal (no gift!) to:"

You are fine.

Ok, thanks. I was worried there for a second. Thanks again, Litster.

Edit: My phantom order is expensive, but worth it! (I edited out the price)

[litster]

Ragnorock is organizing a group buy of a set of red on black 87-key set with an add-on kit for Phantom (1.5x modifiers and 1x diamond keys).  Also available is a 104 add-on set. There is also an ISO add-on kit if it reaches 15 orders.

[captain]

So if the paypal transaction reads "completed" then our orders are confirmed?  I wasn't worried until I read all of the above.  :-P

[litster]

"completed" means you order has been shipped.  Thank you for shopping with us.  Have a good day!

Just kidding.  People who didn't pay or had problem we have already contacted them separately.  Some people never paid, replied to PM and email, so they were dropped.  But if you were not on the list I posted previously, you are good.

[TheProfosist]

Best plate of them all

[hashbaz]

Yup, to me PHANSI is the whole point aside from having a fully programmable keyboard.  I got a PHANSI and a PH7BIT.

[7bit]

Hey 7bit, do I get free Weiner Shnitzel for post 1500?
