Well done Sir, at the end I did not get in; but, I knew your GBs does great. It is even more impressive, considering you are using GON's parts, that it is known to keep some backlog with other customers.

Thanks! Everything from GON is in my hands now. He told me that he is working on his backlog.

Aha!, that is great, I like GON products a lot and my personal experience with him is nothing but great, good communication, outstanding quality, reasonable lead times and all, but others have had different stories.

Were there any extra PCBs ordered? I'm definitely kicking myself in the ass for not picking one up.

Christmas came early as Poste Italiane delivered my package earlier than I expected.
I'm gonna begin with the black PCB tomorrow. I'll post pictures when I'm done.

Thanks LeandreN for your efforts.

i don't think i paid for tracking, and now i regret it.

Untracked. On the bright side, it's faster than tracked shipping.

Thanks for sharing! Since you actually went with a long right shift, I really hope the Leandre key will stay there :)

How fast was Imsto's shipping times ?

Thank you.

It's gonna sit on another keyboard, I have a total of three PCB left (2 GONs, 1 WKL.kr), you'll see it soon.

How fast was Imsto's shipping times ?

5 weeks from order to delivery and I even ordered a custom dyesub.

Looking good!
May I ask which type of screw did you get to secure the pcb to the case?
I think I have the exact same case as you. Bought it from Pexon awhile back too.

[TalkingTree]

Looking good!

Thank you.

May I ask which type of screw did you get to secure the pcb to the case?

It came with stock Torx T6, but I replaced them with Phillips of the same size.

Oh does the PCB come screws?
If not I'll have to source it from somewhere else.

This is how a HHKB-like plate looks on GON's PCB.
There's been a discussion about universal cuts, I dare to say it looks beautiful with any layout.

You don't like stabilisers, do you? Haha

If only the ANSI Enter was 1.75u.

Okay, so I didn't ship out yesterday, but I did pack some packages. Packing some today, but I doubt I'll get them out before Monday. Thanks for your patience. I'm at about 60/140 packages now.

I actually wanted the HHKB style plate but I was worried how it would look like on a case like that with gaps on each side.
Turns out much better than I have imagined.
So so nice  :D

[Malenky]

Not got mine yet and already hoping there are spares. Of anything

Thanks. I guess you get a better result with a lipless case with matching color, but I'm happy anyway.

Nice. Good use of those modifiers.

[eddible]

Ah, here's the right thread! Received my PCB today, very fast delivery so thanks for that. Once I've got my switches I'll post up some pics. I managed to buy a SA Jukebox set off mechmarket so I'm very excited to get this one built!

[alexjd99]

Woo! Got (most of) my order in! Looks like he forgot to drop in a winkeyless plate, but no worries, it'll come when it comes.

Can't wait to build this HHKB, gonna get started now



Such a nice plate, and the PCB looks awesome. Can't wait for the winkeyless to come too. Big thanks to Leandre for organizing such a smooth GB! I'll have to join Round 5 whenever that will be

[rpeterclark]

Received my plate and stabs the other day. Another smooth LeandreN GB! Thanks again! 

[biocalves]

Seeing other people get their packages is making me antsy. I want to start building mine too!

[LeandreN]

Sent out 10 packages yesterday.

[GiveCandyy]

Received mine today. Thanks for the free plate LeandreN. Not the best. But hey, its free! )

It's better on the top side.

I did not. Was this plate even for me? Since I didn't even order any plate.

I am just trying to figure out if it was a mistake, or if we arranged this haha.

[pichu23]

Ohh so many people has been receiving them 
Can't wait!

Received my items last night. I also have an orange PCB and and a black plate, but I wanted to build this setup first.



This was my first time doing side mounted leds and I was surprised at just how easy it was once I got one or two under my belt.



65g zealios and top side leds mounted.

Unfortunately this is where I'm stuck until my dremel comes in so that I can mod the acrylic Tex case that I have so that it doesn't interfere with the side leds.

Oh boy those rear leds looks so good. Are they smd or just 2x3x4 leds?
Are they using their own resistors or you're sharing them with the switch leds?
Looks so nice. Too bad I'm using an alu case so any underglow would be wasted.  :'(

They are SMD leds and they do have their own resistors.

Ah okay.
Does the PCB come pre-soldered with the resistors at the rear or did you solder them yourself?
