[Closed] Stainless Steel Poker Plates - None Left
« on: Wed, 13 March 2013, 14:18:33 »
With Suits - $26 - 0 Left


Blank - $25 - 0 Left



Shipping (around 4/2)
CONUS - $7 via padded priority mail
International - $18 via first class (single plate, not 100% sure on price)


Payment
I'll send invoices sometime next week to collect money!



Order here!



Any other questions should be answered in this thread or post:
http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=36039.msg673174#msg673174


Why the higher than GB price? Low wait time, I'm paying for them up front and I could use the money for GH60 case prototype/school expenses.

I have the guy cut from the bottom, so that the burrs end up on the top. Since those burrs are on the top, he "time saves" (basically a big drum sander) them to give it that sanded finish

Can you still open the switch after installing this plate or not? If you can then I'm definitely in for one!

Yes :)

Yes, and I'll be modding the 2x switches so that you can open those as well

That's so nice that you're doing that.

You can use cherry PCB or plate mount. Costar can work, but you might have to sand the plate down a bit.

Costar needs around 0.060" thickness and these plate will be around 0.0625"

Fair enough - any idea where I can get plate mounted cherry stabilisers from?  Just as my Poker's current PCB mount ones are not so great - the spacebar ones come out every time I remove the spacebar for example...

Ordered two of the Poker suit plates.  Slowly accumulating the parts to build my first keyboard...

Is there a list somewhere detailing all the parts I should be looking out for?  I figure I need the items below, am I missing some stuff?

1. PCB
2. Case
3. Backing plate
4. Key switches
5. Key caps  :rolleyes:
6. USB cable (plus some way to connect to the board - USB connector for the case?)

Missing stabilizers.  I don't know what the poker PCBs came with, but if they don't include diodes, you would need those too.  Also, probably LEDs

Poker PCB has SMD diodes already installed. Unfortunately for you, now that the Poker DIY GB is over, and iMav sold all the leftover Poker PCBs, there is really no way to build a Poker from the ground up like that. You could either: 1. Buy a used Poker from someone and install your plate; or 2. Wait for the GH60 GB, and order the parts you need there.

Beast you are a beast.

When you get a chance can you let me know if i was quick enough to snag up a suit plate before the counter hit 0?

also i am interested where i might find plate mounted switches as well. is this site's classifieds the best place to look? i am looking to build a 60% with greens.

well using a GH60 PCB is certainly my backup plan. it is only my backup plan since komar stated that we are looking at a November hitting doorsteps time frame. but i would really like to build something before that.

you guys don't think we will see some poker PCBs released before this summer? and doing another group buy is a no go?

I'm hoping we can get GH60s to people before November. I think there is some possibility that people might have them around September...if all goes well.

The iMav/Vortex DIY Poker group buy was a one-time opportunity. And the Poker has been superseded and is no longer being produced. So no, I don't think you will see any more Poker PCB available for sale at all.

also i am interested where i might find plate mounted switches as well. is this site's classifieds the best place to look? i am looking to build a 60% with greens.

I was looking for the same thing and I ended up purchasing them from 7bit over on Deskthority.net. I haven't taken receipt of the switches yet, but 7bit is shipping my partial order this week (or so I'm told).

It looks like MX-Green are not currently in stock, but you could always make Ghetto Greens by purchasing MX-Blue switches and then getting some stiffer springs.

Do you have plans to run any other plate designs?  I am working on a custom design but even your single unit prices seem to be much better than any I'm seeing.

I am interested more in a larger layout similar to a tkl but with a numpad instead of arrows and scrolls keys.  Possibly made of anodized aluminum.

Keep ordering ones with suits if you want them. I already sent in the order but I'm sure I can still add some. If you want to change your order, just resubmit the order and I will delete your first order completely

I made what you're looking for already. Click on the Keyboard Prototyping link in my signature, and at the bottom of the 2nd post, there is an attachment called TK.dwg. That's what you want.

Cheers buddy :D What stabilisers do you need for these?

You can use cherry PCB or plate mount. Costar can work, but you might have to sand the plate down a bit.

Costar needs around 0.060" thickness and these plate will be around 0.0625"

Fair enough - any idea where I can get plate mounted cherry stabilisers from?  Just as my Poker's current PCB mount ones are not so great - the spacebar ones come out every time I remove the spacebar for example...

Not really. I have some plate mount cherry stabilizers, but I don't think he has anymore in stock
