[merijn]

I shot that email to you about it, but the international shipping scared me off :<

Are these plates the type with cutouts that you can switch out spring and stems without de-soldering?

No, they don't have that feature.

Damn it, would be interested in some but I'm in the UK

iam new poker owner for what are pokerplates

[SelektaM]

I also would be in for a pcb, but I am living in germany :/

Edit: or do you also send to Europe?

iam new poker owner for what are pokerplates

plates are for stabilising right ?
and can u easy put them in or is it hard (idont wanna brake something)
what are pcbs?

[singaporean123]

the poker comes without a plate between the pcb and the switches.

a plate is just to enhance and give the board a more solid feel, some might say less "flex".

to put in the plate you'd have to desolder and solder if im not wrong

[evolyn]

and why do people change pcb's ? what are exactly pcb's ?is it this redplate under the keys right ? what changes come with a new ? or why do you changeit. Mhhh seem some how logic with the steelplate the pokr seems abit fragil but did anyone ever killed it or u get really better typing feeling out of it ? i thank uvery much for ur answer.

[whelmingbytes]

The old thread is locked, so just wanted to say I received my tracking info for my poker pcbs and plates! Thanks iMav!

I'm not too sure. perhaps a bad soldering/desoldering job could ruin the PCB, or someone just wants to make an entirely new poker with the pcb.

Not too sure about the plate part, you can ask around for those who have pokers!

I'm pretty new to the mechanical keyboard community, but I bought the poker pcb and plates because I couldn't easily find a complete poker with the switches and keycaps I wanted. So I bought all the components separately. Now I will have the exact poker I want. I suppose some peoples pcbs will have broken over time so they could be replacing theirs.

As far as the plate goes, it should just make the keyboard feel more solid and stable.

what about the case..? and the stabilizers..

Can't you get costar stabs from wasd
If you plate mount?

[TheSoulhunter]

I also would be in for a pcb, but I am living in germany :/

He did, but the shipping costs were high...
If I would have known earlier we could have shared the shipping/costs :/

and why do people change pcb's ?

To have a Poker with MX Clears or Greens, or because they already own keycaps and a case (ie. one of the aluminum cases that were sold).

The original thread http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=40257.msg801228#msg801228 has info on this. They are saying that the costar will not work with this plate and say that you should get the plate mount cherry stabs if you get this plate.

Received my tracking information. Thank you iMav!

[evolyn]

Received my tracking information. Thank you iMav!

what did u order ?
is it easy to put the plate on by urself ? Does anyone got pictures of the there plate ?
and pcb's are poker cases ? but what kinda ?

[Luke]

Am I missing something here, surely by PCB he means Printed Circuit Board(http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printed_circuit_board)

mhhhh okey that helped loool. No cases then.
But what exactly does the pcb's i didn't get that point (english is not my motherlanguage) ? sry i missed that point.

[Michael]

This would be a good time for you guys to hit up imsto about running another poker case GB.....

[SmallFry]

Have him make it without the dip switch cut out too for all the future GH60 owners.

[Gupgup]

I'll take a Poker PCB, and possible a Poker Plate! email inc

[CommunistWitchDr]

PM'd for a plate.

Considering a pcb too case I mess up the solder that badly.

[mashby]

Thank you iMav! 

My two Poker PCBs arrived safe and sound today.

PMd, please reply

[danielucf]

So are the extra solder points for diodes or LEDs?

[The_Beast]

PMd, please reply

I don't think you're suppose to PM him, I think it's email only. At least that's how it was when I bought my PCBs

So are the extra solder points for diodes or LEDs?

Diodes are already soldered on the board. There are holes in the PCB to mount LEDs, but there are no traces that support full back-lighting.

Ah yes, what is his email again if you don't mind? Thanks!

[danielucf]

That is a weird implementation, but I guess that is better than not being able to add LEDs at all. Also kind of sums up vortex in a nutshell

It is nice tho. If you really want a backlit poker, you don't have to drill any holes in the PCB, you'll just need a rats nest of wires going to each LED

It's a vortex thing lol

[fydo]

My american friend just got the shipment with the PCB + Plate. Thanks again, iMav!

Two quick questions:
 - What LEDs do I need to buy for this? I understand that they need to be 3mm, but at what voltage? I'm hoping to get white LEDs. Is there anything else I need to know regarding LEDs?
 - Where can I obtain the plate-mount Cherry stabilizers & bars required for this plate?

Edit: alaricljs has helped me out via PM. Thanks!

[remedyhalopc]

Should I be concerned that I still don't have mine yet? My payment went through on the 20th. I understand iMav is a busy dude, and I'm not in a particular rush, but it'd be nice info to have.

Share the information for those who needs help on it too!! (Like myself) I'm excited that there are LED options, custom upgrade to pure.

joo mashby :) how's ur poker doin ? any changes so far ? status update ?

Still gathering parts and getting things sorted out. Stabilizers came in on Thursday and now I'm acquiring lube for my switches. I'm updating photos as things progress over on Flickr.

Just gonna throw this in here:

Its looking good both !!! Iwant clears with 42g aswell for the filco

[whelmingbytes]

Got my plates and pcbs out of the mailbox today! Thanks iMav!

[Glod]

guessing those 3 plates are all sold but i figure i'd ask, been really wanting a poker plate....

Sorry, I didn't get any info about the LEDs. He just offered to sell me the LEDs that I would need, along with a set of Cherry plate-mount stabilizers. (I hope it's OK that I'm sharing this information )

[alaricljs]

So I just went through my PMs and sure enough I stated... "7 white LEDs"  that doesn't come anywhere near a Pure, it merely fills the spots on a Poker that already support LEDs.  If you want a full complement of LEDs that's fine, but do understand that the Poker merely has plated through holes for the remaining locations.  No traces, no power, nothing to cause them to light up.

It has the holes in the PCB, which is nice, but no traces


BTW did anyones pokers come with any LEDs? Mine came with none at all (2 PCB's bought)
