Does this case have feet?

Yes, 4 rubber feet.

Thanks for the answer.

On the order form, what's the difference between "86 key (Winkey)" and "ANSI 150"? I have an ANSI 1.5 Phantom PCB (order code "PHANSI"), and would not want the Skeldon to have the 1x tabs, so what should I order?

KuhnTang · « **Reply #103 on:** Thu, 13 June 2013, 23:16:21 »

I just got my phantoms, controllers, and plates in the mail today. If someone wants one of them, I have a (phantom, plate, controller) set that I'll sell off. I decided I only want one.

That being said, All the fuss I put up about Gold anodizing on the plates was for nothing. I ordered Purple today after seeing purple anodizing pic's.

I have to admit, now that I got my phantom/plates, I'm starting to get excited for this again. After my springs got lost in the mail and the prof debacle, I started to regret this whole venture.

Do you guys have any pics of what the shade of purple you guys selected looks like when it's on metal?

Thanks to everyone making this happen!

Should look exactly like it does in the OP

do you have a picture of the full finished case (chamfered etc)?

No pics or the chamfered case. I'm doing the minimum chamfer just to break the sharp edges.

Beast,

So those samples are on metal?

Thanks.

Yes, you can't anodize anything but aluminum and samples are always aluminum.

The samples may vary due to the surface finish the anoidizer receives

Sick 3/8" chain tensioners! Freestyle yo!

4 real, purple anodize is nice though.

So what would happen if we could get the MOQ for anodising? Does that mean we just can't get it done it that color?

Right. So I suggest everyone switch to black anodizing.

Black is so boring! But it will have to be my backup in case the fabulous red doesn't go through

KuhnTang · « **Reply #115 on:** Sat, 15 June 2013, 00:41:41 »

I think if purple doesn't go through I'm just not going to get it anodized.

rindorbrot · « **Reply #116 on:** Sun, 16 June 2013, 07:45:11 »

Any news on the special plate options?

Boost and I will straighten it out on Monday.

There will be plenty of time to get orders in.

i3oilermaker · « **Reply #119 on:** Mon, 17 June 2013, 13:35:59 »

Form has been updated with all plate options and choice for blockers or no blockers.

I have requested via PM that submitted orders re-submit for clarification.

Thanks!

rindorbrot · « **Reply #120 on:** Mon, 17 June 2013, 14:40:58 »

KuhnTang · « **Reply #121 on:** Mon, 17 June 2013, 14:50:19 »

I resubmitted the form. If purple doesn't go through, I would prefer no anodizing.
Thanks

rindorbrot · « **Reply #122 on:** Mon, 17 June 2013, 15:53:07 »

I still would like to maybe pick up a secondary plate. Would that be possible?

Jupiter · « **Reply #123 on:** Mon, 17 June 2013, 19:15:51 »

Resubmitted the form as per PM request

Heaps of time to pay up.

If only I could fit a spare Filco into this but alas, no go for this Group Buy. Maybe in the future there might be a provision to slot a Filco into it.

Because i3oiler is running this, you're all lucky to get a fine piece of casing to go with your Phantoms. GLWTGB.

i3oilermaker · « **Reply #128 on:** Thu, 20 June 2013, 00:04:02 »

Is there an MOQ for these cases, or is this GB happening regardless of order quantity? I would imaging this case would be pretty expensive if less than 15 were ordered.

Acetrak · « **Reply #130 on:** Thu, 20 June 2013, 06:54:42 »

I think MOQ is like 10 or somethibg

i3oilermaker · « **Reply #131 on:** Thu, 20 June 2013, 07:54:49 »

Boost can correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding is the only MOQs are the anodized colors.

If the color you selected does not make 5, then at the end you must select a different color, or no anodized.

Can I order two plates to keep my layout options open?

samwisekoi · « **Reply #135 on:** Wed, 26 June 2013, 08:53:03 »

Can it be had in 92-key? (Open slot between arrows and nav keys.)

megaforce · « **Reply #136 on:** Thu, 27 June 2013, 21:09:57 »

What a immaculate case.

I don't have the funds for it atm, will TechKeys be carrying any extras when these are finished producing?

Jupiter · « **Reply #137 on:** Thu, 27 June 2013, 21:54:41 »

Boost/Boiler can confirm, but I'd assume with the cost and so many variations, it will only made to order.

i3oilermaker · « **Reply #138 on:** Fri, 28 June 2013, 00:05:51 »

I am not planning on carrying any extras.

r3dx · « **Reply #139 on:** Fri, 28 June 2013, 10:39:10 »

Just submitted my order for a black winkeyless case. I really wanted to go with purple but since the plate is being anodized gold, the purple and gold reminds me of my college's colors way to much.

I still really want an aluminum case in GH colors, black case and orange plate.

Thanks to Boost and Boiler for making this happen! The case really is most impressive.

Yeah, that sounds pretty awesome. Maybe you could get the plate re-anodized?

That color combination would be perfect for the Orange on Charcoal key cap set.

rknize · « **Reply #141 on:** Fri, 28 June 2013, 10:52:14 »

I was planning pretty much the same thing. It's too bad that the plate is gold...I was thinking of just shooting some orange automotive paint on it.

Wasn't much of a fan of the color scheme when I was there but it did make me start liking purple, which is by far an underutilized color.

(That could just be the hipster in me though)

Thanks for pointing out the Orange on Charcoal set. I really want to get one, but still kind of leery of sherryton at the moment. Maybe in the future once he gets things moving more smoothly.

And do those who ordered colors that haven't met MOQ need to change colors?

I have to wait for Boost to chime in, as he is handling the manufacturing.

In the mean time, feel free to continue submitting orders.
