so the topside of the pcb has smd leds? Sorry if I'm out of the loop on it.
Grabbing some of all of this no matter what
No, the LEDs are installed on the back. PCB has holes to accommodate the LEDs shooting upwards into the switch. This prevents interference issues and doesn't require SMD compatible switch bottoms.
Are the stab plastics compatible with SPRiT's wires (this would solve the 7u vs 6,25u problem for me since I still have wires)?
Either way, I'll definitely need stabs, so I'll order those early and push in a few switches next month, that way I'll have the early shipping even though I have to wait for money
Standard 1.6mm diameter wires will work, so yes.
Zeal, how would one remove the silencing clips if it needed to be removed (change leds, fix switch, etc.)?
There will be small notch on the left and right side of the clips for you to push open, similar to opening switch tops. Just a small flat head or wedge tool will work.
Any chance we can get a 2u only option for the stabilizers? Like maybe a 4-pack? I'd like to buy a set for VE.A or maybe Ergodox and have no need for a 6.25u or 7u wire. It would be nice for number pads too...
During the GB stage, only the shown 3 stabilizer packs will be offered to help with spacebar stabilizer MOQs. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Regarding the silencing clips; I think I must have an incorrect mental picture of what is going on here. Are these in place of using o-rings?
They are thinner than orings, but help reduce bottom out and upstroke sound (orings don't reduce the upstroke). Check the product page for a typing video demonstration on how much the switches are silenced by.
can all of these items be ordered and shipped together and does the pcb have some sort of first-run marking?
They'll all be shipped together. "Rev 0" will be the first run marking, unless there's something else people wanted to see...Trying not to clutter the PCB with text.
