[Group buy] Phantom Custom Keyboard Group Buy (CLOSED)

gimpster wrote:More Phantom owners should order a Ragnarok set, we're only 5 orders away from a 30% price drop for the add-on set. Go team, GO!! :)

I'm tempted but its the creme cheese that I'm after, also the miami vice is just too far gone for me.

Yah, that set looks soooo good. But at these prices, I can't say "no"...plus, I need something to dress my keyboard in until the cream cheese sets get done. ;)

I'd say yes in a heartbeat, if there was a uk specific option. Don't think I'll get into groupbuys in geekhack as I'll always have to take a hit on the keys that just don't match my region. The nov keys ill be happy to get in on mind.

I forgot to post these pics over here. This is the 2nd of 2 prototype PCBs we ordered. I was able to test the ISO layout and make sure it worked and then continued to build a complete ANSI layout Phantom. I have it in a Filco Zero case. All keycaps shown are 100% authentic Cherry Corp caps :D

You have to get the MXSUPERGREY next time. Those would be awesome. I bet they go ka-chunk instead of click at 105cN.

Wait until all items successfully shipped, then we will sell off the security reserve (except for the TEENSY).

Rumor has it someone received a bunch of PCBs, stabilizers, and pin headers recently.

When do you think that you will be able to shop out the Phantom kits?

I have been thinking of having a small keyboard party in Stockholm, Sweden some time. I suppose that the Phantoms will arrive much sooner than the lead-time we need for a real party, but anyway.

We will need some more artistic shots later to show off PrinsValium's cool design. It is dark color, should work well as DT's header picture. :D

Looks seriously awesome right there, must weigh quite a bit!
You've mentioned not selling any extra teensy's, in case you change your mind- interested!
Also possibly interested in phantom leftovers, them pcb's look hawt..

I haven't soldered anything for about 10 years and that guide made me feel 100 times more confident. Going to test my skills by taking my Poker apart this weekend :?

Been making more 7x costar stabilizer bars today. So I figured I would make a video to show you all how to make one yourself if you need to. I can make one in about 5 minutes now.

"by hand" he says xD edit: okok, it IS manual; but I won't be able to repeat this with just my hands, for sure.

Nifty tool! Though I can't think of any other use apart from exactly this; bought it espescially for this purpose I guess?
