[IC] LeandreN Round 4 - PCBs, plates etc.

[LeandreN]

Please share your ideas in this form. Thanks.

Please fill out the Google form and discuss stuff here. This is seperate from the Winkeyless and HHKB plates I am planning.

PCBs by GON

Orange & black PCBs available.

Plates  by me and JD

60% is still the theme because of the demand!

Plates are available in different colours.

[TalkingTree]

Filled.

[JorisBoers]

I filled it real good ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[Sifo]

You'll never guess which answer was mine

[db268]

Filled. Probably interested in the plates

[LeandreN]

You'll never guess which answer was mine

Octarine is no colour

EDIT: Octarine is the imaginary colour of magic

I will look that up for you Sifo and see if it is available.

[LeandreN]

Filled.

You are always fast!

[SaiZn]

Any plans for a prototyper round 2?

Any plans for a prototyper round 2?

Soon™

[lashiel]

I haven't even built my stuff from last buy. But part of me feels like I should order something here anyways....

I'll have to think about what I want.

Edit: obviously, the above being in the case this happens. Filled out the form regardless.

[xondat]

Filled.

NAA

[LeandreN]

Thanks for all the answers!

I was thinking about doing a custom orange/purple PCB for the Geekhack theme, but then i would need a PCB in a neutral colour too, which is difficult because of the high MOQ that is set.(We need to order more than the last GB).

[ccarlitos2]

Wait when you say Winkeyless. Are you talking about a winkeyless 60%? One of my dream boards is a Winkeyless 60% with a short right shift...

That GB is soon(trademark).

True Winkeyless plates with winkey covered. Split shift, stepped or non stepped caps lock and ISO/ANSI.

LeandreN's Orange sounds fun to me.
What's the MOQ?

What's the MOQ?

100 PCBs for a new colour preferably. I can do it by paying a fee and stuff, but i don't want to delay anything because of the colour. Also, i need colours that anyone would buy.

i need colours that anyone would buy.

How did it go with SPRiT's then? It came in black, blue and white.

[LeandreN]

Ok someone is putting 40 USD in as a good price, that's a really  great price and won't happen. Also the 80 USD option shouldn't be there. That is above retail, sorry for that.

Aiming for around 60-65. Retail is 70 + shipping + inspection fees.

Stabilisers will be available.

SPRiT already had those made. Most of the PCBs atleast.

Sorry, I didn't make myself clear.
I was suggesting to check how well they sold in your group buy. So you can have an idea of what colours are favored.

Aha! Thanks. The black one was the most popular one.

You got yourself your first candidate colour.

Yup, a pretty boring one too.

Black goes on anything, but I'm really wishing for a LeandreN's Orange.

[pichu23]

Oh snap, a GON 60%?
I might be in after all!

[Zambumon]

Filled 

I need a board for the Zealios!

[FoC_Tow]

Definitely in for another gon pcb or two!

Not a huge fan of the orange & black color combo, but any custom color scheme would be pretty hard to resist tbh!

Would Love to see something like White on Gray, or maybe Purple on Gray!

Purple goes with anything as well if you have some Zealios to go along!

On another note, are hhkb style plates still planned?

Acrylic or polycarb hhkb style plates would be really epic to show of dat custom pcb, and make use of the top smd led spots!

[Pinecone]

Filled. I told myself no more buying things because I have FaceW and Satan GH60 PCBS coming... but I can't say no to a GoN, especially at GB rates. WHYYYY 

[Atredl]

Can't pass up on getting a GON 

I'm just a little worried on how long it would take to get fulfilled. I've only heard about how long he takes to fulfill the regular orders. Even if it takes a while I want one!

[TalkingTree]

This is a black NerD 60 v.1.61 and we're getting a v2.0, but it should us an idea how it looks.

Thanks !

I will be getting a little custom logo on it also, it seems. Totally unecessery, but why not.

See to have it on the backside, so I can admire your avatar through a clear case. 

[TalkingTree]

@LeandreN: you might want to show the default white PCB on the first post as well.

[FoC_Tow]

Can pcb color and color of prints both be custom?

Would a Gray pcb with purple printing even be possible in theory?

Have never seen a gray pcb before, but imagine it to look really sweet.

It's a nice neutral inbeteen as well, since black usually looks way to dark to me personally...

I wrote white in the form, but white with purple would be a great choice too IMO.

[LeandreN]

Ordered a PCB from GON since i have never owned a Nerd60 V.2 before. Just a plain white one. I am going to take some pictures and figure out the GUI so i can assure the quality 100% myself.

[Lpwl]

Just filled your form ! 

If GON can deliver in "a timely manner" then we're living in the best of all possible worlds - haha

Will yours be pre soldered?

Yes.

[Vittra]

Filled out the form, definitely interested in 1, possibly 2 sets.

Not going to lie, GON sounds incredibly busy to the point that I am curious at what the actual lead time for this would be.

[toneman77]

As a Linux user: how are NerD PCBs flashed? tmk?

[swimmingbird]

quick question - when you mention the case parts for $80USD are you referring to a GON housing?

If so that seems incredibly cheap

[LeandreN]

Nono. It's a sandwhich case

[chilldude_22]

Big time in for a black Gon PCB. Looking for one to put in my Gon Crystal housing. 

[bloodl1n3]

Haven't even completed my build from round 3, but have always wanted a GON.

Interested in the case that will be available. Is it one that's been produced before or will it be a new custom one?

Most likely no case. It would have been a new designed layered case.

I just want a black PCB from GON. 
Got a white one on my FaceW and on my NerD TKL.

[TalkingTree]

I'll surely get two PCBs, eventually a third.
