POST Your GON(s)!!!! ;)

[rowdy]

I like those matching screws and stickers - really nice finishing touches

[DrHubblePhD]

Here is my new GON skinny with some temporary stealth caps! I built it using a custom black pcb from the recent group buy and besides some shoddy soldering (my soldering station broke mid way through) it turned out great!

Looks great. That black PCB is niicceee. I really miss my Skinny. It was a fun little build.

Looking at the pictures on this thread, I found at least one keyboard of each color anodization except for blue. So I just took it upon myself and order my own GON in blue aluminum

This just became one of my favorite boards, I believe. for using the same switch setup, too.  This board is absolutely lovely.

Using 55g lubed/stickered blacks. Not sure if I'd recommend anyone to ever sticker though. Took way too long for what little benefit it provides.

Does anyone have pictures of the Orange Side-LED in action?!

I'm wanting to order a board, but I'm worried about the shade of the LED colours not matching.

Look back a couple pages I think cody's GON has orange side lightning and i think he also posted a video of it.

How do the switches feel on the acrylic plate

I was thinking of building a NerD NS 60 but that acrylic looks great and I might go for the Acrylic 60 instead

I posted this on the most recent NerD 60 PCB GB page but....

The product page on GON's website states that the NerD NS 60 Crystal will be compatible with Wireless... which suggests that a 60% NerD NS Crystal is in the works?

Sent a message to GON to confirm, and if this turns out to be true, the Crystal 60 will be my first GON!

what a magnificent board. i can't decide if the crystal or acrylic housing looks better, but Crystal is the only housing that supports wireless so it's an easy choice to make when you're considering a purchase

Doesn't the acrylic housing support wireless? The module is just attached onto the PCB. I thought it just wouldn't work on the NS housing.

I don't think that's true... unless you are referring to his assembly options.

Acrylic housing should work with wireless, since I'm pretty sure the bluetooth signal can get through acrylic as opposed to the aluminum from the NS housing.

You must mean the Crystal (polycarbonate) case

The NerD NS Crystal 60 is an instant buy for me (if it ever happens).

Have my LEDs planned out, just have to decide which switches I want... Black or Clear with Gold 62g or 65g springs.

Did you really just ignore what I said about the acrylic case? Do you really think that GON has a special wireless module that will ONLY work with his Crystal housing? You're really deluded, and need to use your head a bit.

Perhaps they're not talking about the housing blocking transmission, but the case not fitting the PCB and wireless module.

Well in that case I'm an idiot and misunderstood. I'm not 100% sure about the clearance size of the wireless module.

Anyone know if GON has addressed that acrylic case with wireless anywhere?

LOL....

I'm just going to ignore what happened because this is something that I am sure many others would like to know.

The NerD 60 PCB v2.0 and TKL PCB v2.0 product pages specifically state that the acrylic cases are NOT COMPATIBLE with the wireless controllers he offers. At the moment the ONLY cases available from GON that support his wireless controllers are his polycarbonate Crystal cases.

Feel free to draw your own conclusions with regard to why they aren't supported.

Here are my top two theories:

1. GON sprinkles translucent powdered unicorn horns in the acrylic plastics he uses for his acrylic cases to improve the feel of the case and to increase exclusivity. Unfortunately, as we all know, unicorn horns are slightly metallic and cause the GON acrylic housings to act like Faraday cages, thus blocking Bluetooth signal completely and lending to the incompatibility of the acrylic cases with GON's wireless controller.

2. The acrylic case was engineered to super tight tolerances before the 2.0 PCBs were designed and thus can not physically accommodate the wireless versions of the new PCBs without serious modifications.

Good day.


TLDR:
GON's current Acrylic cases are incompatible with the wireless versions of the NerD 2.0 PCBs.
