Any news on assembly service?

I've found a solid assembly service, finalizing details now.

On a side note, EVE is working on his next project and it will be a HHKB layout: http://imgur.com/a/CWAtu

oh my, blocker corners 70% board... I'm in for that
(I'd be even more in if it'd have the real HHKB style offset bottom row, not centered)

[neralo]

Any updates on the progress?

I hadn't even thought of this: will stabilizers be included with this keyboard? I'm wondering if I should get in on the ZealPC stab drop on Massdrop.

If you want zeal stabs get them from his website, it's cheaper. At least the switches are

They are cheaper on ZealPC.net, but, after shipping, they're more expensive than MD.

hmm, actually planned on putting it together myself, but maybe to save some time I'll consider having this done for me for once... a few questions though:

what spring weights have you got?
what sticker colours?
can lubing also be done?
are the cherry stabs the genuine ones? (and will they be clipped?)

62 67 78
Genuine cherry stabs. You can choose to clip or not
Live can be done for $25

I'll get a color list for stickers. DIY kerbs brings fun, but definitely time consuming...

That typing mistake reads like that for an extra $25 the build can be streamed live.

That would actually be a really cool option

[zzyjayfree]

Oh hahaha should be "it".
Some do stream actually but it's always the wrong time due to time difference.

Are switches plate mounted or PCB mounted? I think it was mentioned somewhere but I can't find it

I guess technically you are right, I automatically ruled those out

[swangful]

Any pictures of the PCB from the China GB?

So stoked for this board to arrive

Should be around the same time my switches arrive

[swangful]

Does this plate allow for switch top removal? :O

[DillonHightower]

Does this plate allow for switch top removal? :O

I would say not by the looks of the plate. Most that allow this have notches on the sides to allow tool and top of switch to come out. Looks like the hole will be tight around the edges of switch not allowing it to come off once seated..

[nathanchere]

What are others thinking as far as extras needed for assembly?
Switches, LEDs if you're into that, I've seen stabs mentioned a few times, anything else?

I'm looking at using Holtites for this build as well. (Assuming they fit correctly in the pcb).

I think it was mentioned in the previous GB that holtites were not supported...but I would love to be wrong

[vinzlr]

Is it too late to join this? The google order form is still open so I was wondering.

I believe so. Invoices were sent and paid several weeks ago now. Not sure if production has started yet. zzyJayfree may be able to provide a better answer.

Dang, well either way I've got a sample pack coming with my zealios order that I'll test out.

[nathanchere]

This is probably a really stupid question but the guts of a novatouch wouldn't have a hope in Hell of a fit into this case, right? My preference is for tactile non-clicky and I've bought a bunch of switches for testing, but as nice as this case is my 'endgame' is still Topres.

Lubed MODs are probably the closest thing to topre without being topre

Really like the look of this board!

Hey zzjayfree, wanted to check if the assembly guy got back to you with pics of the LEDs?

Its been about 4 weeks into production now as well, so I also wanted to check if everything's still on track.

[nathanchere]

I might just be blind but I can't see a cable input anywhere and it makes it hard to order a matching cable
I assume this will take a standard USB micro? Not USB mini or USB-C?

EDIT: Not sure why I put micro here, my bad. It is mini, as i've stated in several other places

Input is where the pink arrow is:

Thank swangful for your help. Community spirit right there.

As for the LED I'll get it updated tonight. But I'm thinking I'll offer assembly at a later stage of the GB. Currently we are at CNC stage, I'll also update some production pics. There was some minor delay as EVE is working on Mira SE anodizing. I'll throw the album link here so you guys can get a grasp of EVE's finishing.
