[SPRiT] PCB +Case +Parts (NEW Full Alu Case Buy)

[Roibhilin]

Do I still have a chance to get the 5mm addon if I already got my case a few weeks ago?
I haven't gotten a PM, do I just order it through your site Zeal?

I don't have it listed on my site. Need to double check with sprit on some stuff, but it'll most likely be shipped by him.

OK 

[KatzenKinder]

Got mine today, thanks so much Zeal! Only "problem" is my Pexon cable doesn't fit in the slot, guess I have to buy a Zeal cable now 

[sitch]

I still have not receive a PM, from asia, any help?

How fat is the mini end? Just took one of my mini cables with HS & plastic connectors, and I don't think there should be clearance issues. Or is the pcb's mini connector too low? (Don't have a 60% pcb laying around here  )

I think sprit's been busy soldering/packing...I sent him an email and haven't gotten a reply yet. He'll follow through though!

You're right, the mini connector sits too low. Everything else is great though :v

Hey sprit,
What screws do you include with your case? I've think i've either lost some, or not enough were included.

[PandaSPUR]

Got my case and love it

Although I do have the same issues mentioned by others:

1. My poker's plate sits above the top of the case. I'd like the 5mm extra plate when that becomes available. I thought about placing washers between the two current plates, but there are no screws to secure the case on the sides, so it would just flex ):

2. My cable also didnt fit. It was the stock Poker II cable. I had to take a knife and shave off some plastic from the connector.

[kitsun8]

I think instead of getting the acrylic plate, is it possible to buy another side layer for the case? I guess i'd also need longer screws for that.

[Zeal]

I'll do some testing and get back to you. I do have longer screws available, but they were intended for feet, so it's not as low profile as the ones you guys received.

[PandaSPUR]

I think instead of getting the acrylic plate, is it possible to buy another side layer for the case? I guess i'd also need longer screws for that.

I think thats what sprit meant. So it'd end up being a 3 layer case. The top layer is just another 5mm thick piece like the current top border layer.

Thats what I thought anyway. I called it a plate by accident.

Oh ok, in that case i'd definitely buy it since i'd like it to be as low profile as possible.

I will most likely order a top layer form Sprit although I want to test it out without the top layer first when my package arrives. It will most likely arrive at my doorstep tomorrow as it is only a few cities away.

It feels like the case was deigned for PCB mount since my plate protrudes quite a bit.

Probably.

Sprit's other cases and keyboards come with an acrylic plate option, so I'm guessing these cases were simply made with that top plate portion gone.
Which means we need that extra 5mm top layer to even it out. I hope it doesnt cost a lot :x

Shouldn't be too bad. And i'm willing to pay since this is basically my endgame board for home.

Okay guys, took some pics of some acrylic layers put together. I don't have a 60% PCB, so I increased the standoff heights by about 2mm to re-create what it would look like if you had a PCB screwed in. I also used the 4mm acrylic plate (which the case was mostly designed for -- to fill the gap between PCB + 1.6mm metal plate on Pokers). If you used a 4mm acrylic plate + the two 8mm acrylic case layers, the plate would protrude out (intentional design), but you wouldn't see a gap in between the plate & PCB.

I took some 22mm screws that sprit included for special layered case / extra tall feet to screw in the 3 layers together. Here are the results:

Didn't remove the protective film, as this was just a photo demonstration. You can see that the screws are different, and aren't concave like the ones you guys received.


Bumpons were also not installed due to photo demo




Plate is roughly 3mm lower than the top layer, hence the reason why sprit suggested 5mm extra layer to make it almost flush with regular plates. (Regular acrylic case layers are 8mm each)


The little wing cover would actually get in the way of the top left key if you have the trapezoid facing inwards. If you flip it around, there should be no problems.




Is this something you guys would rather have, or the 5mm acrylic top piece? The 3 8mm pieces put together is already 24mm + angled tilt from feet.

[PandaSPUR]

5mm please!

The case as it is already feels thicker than I originally imagined.

Also, whats going to happen with the color options? I imagine hitting MOQ on the same number of colors might be hard...

[Synjin]

Dang I got an all white frosty case instead of thinking about the possible color combinations like this one. Sad day for me T_T

[thestage]

I think those pictures look quite nice. I just don't really get how this affects people who have already paid, and have in fact already paid for shipping? I'm kind of confused.

Second this

[kitsun8]

I'd go 5mm top piece please )

[PandaSPUR]

Someone PM'd me asking about how the case looks with the poker II plate sticking out, so here's three quick shots of my keyboard:

Poker II w/ MX Clears and White backlighting.
Case is Matte Clear on top and Glossy Lime on bottom.





In the last picture, that silver line you see below the plate and above the case is the space bar stabilizer.
So the case is literally flush with the Poker PCB, not the plate.

[FrostyToast]

Is there any way I could order a top piece that is about as thick as the bottom piece?

[Lain1911]

I need to put leds in my poker II :|

[Zeal]

That would be exactly the same as what I have on hand right now.

I got mine from Massdrop, so I didnt have to do it myself lol

Have you heard from sprit at all about when we could get the 5mm top layer?

[Zeal]

Not yet. He's producing them though.

[sprit]

Not yet. He's producing them though.

Yes it is. 
5mm Clear, Blue, Clear Frosy  have produced, being shipping.

And under additional production for Another Colors of 5mm Layer
I will email for that rest of You.

Can't wait for a turquoise top layer

To be clear, I can stick this 5mm layer below my current top layer if I wanted to right?

If that's the case, I'd love to get a clear layer please

I actually have a 5mm clear layer that hasn't been shipped out yet that I'm looking to substitute for a diff layer, so maybe they can get that out to you if you want c:

That works for me.

My current setup is the Clear Lime on bottom and a Matte Clear on top. So if I can just sandwich the extra 5mm clear plate in between, that's perfect.

[kitsun8]

Hey Sprit,
Can you include some screws for screwing in the PCB? I don't have any 
I'll pay an extra few dollars if needed.

[DanielT]

The screws are included

Just submitted using the Order Form on the front page, but ALL of the other optional stuff on the form is required, so I ended up adding on a ton of stuff that I dont actually want.
I made a note of this in the comments on the order form.

yep, did the same

[kitsun8]

Submitted an order through the form on the front page  besides the 5mm plate and extra screws i don't want any of the other things i selected. Thanks sprit!!!  )

[Roibhilin]

yeah, the form is keeping me from only selecting the top layer

[kitsun8]

So as it turns out, I actually got an email from Sprit a week ago asking about these 5mm layers  oops.

[kitsun8]

Just paid the invoice. Thanks Sprit!

[sitch]

Hi i would like to add the 5mm acrylic layer can?

[thestage]

Well, I got my case today, along with the extra 5mm layer, and it's wonderful. Unfortunately, I can't get the damn screws out of my Poker, and so I can't use the case until some act of god gets these stupid things out. sigh.

is it that the screws are too tight or? 

[thestage]

I guess it's a combination of the screws being terrible and my screwdrivers all being terrible. I don't know.  All I know is only two of them came out and the rest don't budge at all so all I'm doing is slowing stripping them.

Gotta find the perfect size one and put a lot of downward pressure while slowly turning the screw.

Its a pain in the ass, I nearly stripped a few of the screws on my Poker II (and one of them came half-stripped yay)

[Roibhilin]

i'm having some financial issues right now, how long do i have to get the 5mm layer?

[kitsun8]

Hey Sprit
I just realised I payed my invoice late  and was wondering if you received the payment or not.
Sorry about that.  )

[furryeskimo]

I'm looking to buy this case but am really confused as to what to get. I have a Poker II so would getting a 5mm/8mm top and a bottom case be fine? I messaged sprit on deskthority and he said that I needed both the 5mm and 8mm top case for my Poker... Any help?

you would probably need the 8mm top and 8mm bottom layer with an additional 5mm top layer (or if you dont mind the poker II plate sitting slightly on top of the top layer - as seen in the pictures above - then I guess 2 8mm layers would be fine, but most people will prefer the 3 layered case 5mm+8mm+8mm)
