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

I just wanted to post here and say that I ordered 87 Blue Switches that I'm not going to use.  So, if anyone is interested in those, you can PM me now, but I'll also post something in the Classifieds once I actually get them.

I also ordered 87 Clear Switches, but I may or may not use those.  It depends on if my wife wants me to keep the brown switches in her keyboard, or if she wants something stiffer, in which case I will use Clears.  There is a small chance I'll try Ergo Clears, but I'm worried I'll do all the work and the keys will not bounce back fast enough for her.

It depends on where you are located.

Guys, please do not submit new orders.  We have already ordered some parts.  We need to close the books so we can move forward with the group buy.  If you order now, you will get a refund.

Not at this time. We will be ordering some extra parts, but those will be sold after everything else has been shipped out.

Teensy's have been ordered so there is a chance you will get a refund. We will have to do a final count and let you know.

I finished my build of one of the 2 Phantom Prototypes last night.

To answer your questions on the plate, we need to address a couple issues on them, but we will be anodizing them in probably 2 colors. I will be contacting everyone on a vote for those 2 colors soon.

If you would prefer not to have your plate anodized, that is an option as well. Just be warned that they might have surface scratches on them and won't look at all finished.



Here are 2 pics of my Phantom. One with Dolch caps, and one with Dye Subs. All caps are Cherry Corp caps.

Those switches look brighter than I anticipated.  My all-green board might look good with clear caps.  I definitely want a colored plate, though.  looks awesome!

[strike]Ah, okay, so I'll be able to get a Phantom PCB and plates after all? That was the most worrying part as the rest I could source myself, though it would all be much more expensive from what I've been able to find. I'm guessing I wouldn't be able to reserve a PCB? :P[/strike]

Never mind.

Sorry guys, the new orders are throwing us in a loop.  We can't place orders for parts if we keep getting new orders.  We will get extra PCBs and plates for backup, and if we have any left, we will sell them after everyone has received their order.

I would have said orange was a cool plate color, but the TypeNow beat us to that.  I like the idea of blue or purple.  Something phantom-ish.
