UPDATE (regarding prices): Just wanted to let you all know, that there are over 100 orders now (⁓110). That means the lowest price point is unlocked. We are past 100 since some time now already but the reason I didn't let you know this until now was because I didn't ever expect to reach this number ...

Did some new illustrations of the different versions (also see the imgur album). SKB65 is already included there but I'm not jet ready to add it to the google order form. Hope the option will be ready by the end of this week.

over 90

Shihatsu wrote: ↑Ya, that one order is correct - I didn't made one for the plate, I wanted to wait for your answer. So I will fill out another form with extra plate and note it in the comments that it is a substitute for the first one. Tank you!

thanks, no need to comment for that. just deleted you first entry.

And there my plate comes in again - is ist still "delete and reorder"? If so - please delete my order :D from now on I'd say, if anyone wants to change his order - just fill out the form again. I can see double entries and whenever there is one I will just delete the first/older order without askin...

Yes, order phase and payment phase got pushed back. Sorry for not having updated it here as well jet.
...just did.

Squeezing order and payment phase into just one month wasn't a good idea. Now I'm pretty confident we'll hit a price point that makes everybody happy.

I don't want to bother you, but did you add the extra plate to my order?

no problem!
it is easier for me if you just fill out the form again. i just deleted your form submission so you can do it again, this time with the extra plate, thanks!

UPDATE regarding YAS PCB: sorry for the back and forth regarding the YAS PCB. We now decided that I will get a shipment of YAS PCBs so all who want the SKB60-YAS but don't have a YAS-PCB jet can get it from me together. The price is 37 Euro for one YAS-PCB. I added the option to the order form. If y...

exactly, silentreader and me want to offer this. wrote it here.

In for a YAS one (hopefully there are still PCBs left to buy...). This is an incredibly sexy board. yes, there are. if enough want to get the skb-yas together with the pcb, then i will get them sent to me and forward them as combo. but there have to be a few request at least. please PM silentreader...

I haven't really studied the construction of the case, but is it possible to use even longer standoffs, to get the keycaps/switches to sink even deeper into the case? That could look interesting, at least with taller keycaps like SA. the caps already sink in deeper compared to most other "high-prof...

here are new pictures. outdoor lighting helps to get much nicer pictures, i think



SKB outdoors

Quick question: IF PlastikSchnittstelle decides to make a plate for an ortholinear layout on this GB, which PCB (60%, 15×5, etc.) would be the best suited for this case? I just updated the section "PCBs, plates and layouts", there you can now find the ortholinear plate, as well as a link to a PCB. ...

also new, if you want a YAS version and don't have a PCB from the GB or the extra sale jet, then you might get a chance to get it combined with the SKB. If at least 10 want it, silentreader will send me the PCBs and I will bundle it for you. less then 10 wouldn't make sense, in that case you can sti...

added the ortholinear option to the form. If you have placed your order already but want the ortholinear plate instead or added, then please PM me. I will update this information in the start post soon and bring ortholinear renders as well.

Finally the typing demonstration. Why did it take me so long to do that? Three reasons tbo: a) I'm super slow at typing, not nice for a typing demo video I thought. b) I don't have nice hands and fingers :( c) My office room has blank concrete floor and ceiling and a lot of windows/glas, which makes...

sorry for not keeping you updated today. I did a third build today, took some time. pictures tomorrow. I also didn't forget the typingdemo, just wanted to wait till i have another build. regarding 75% split spacebar: yes, like shown in the plate/layout picture. after I realized that KBDfans made a s...

I agree on the the hot swap being kind of lame - I solder most of my boards as well. The only reason I ask is there are quite a few people using them and they don't like to play well with most 60% cases - they work but you have to use risers and it brings the whole assembly up higher than it should...

What do you think the chances are of a plate option for mounting an XD75RE into one of these? With the hot-swap sockets it is hard to get a good fit in a regular 60% case but in this being top mount, I think it would be perfect! I'd be in for 2 if there was a plate for us ortho users. you mean this...

I'm not a big fan of PayPal myself, just thought it makes everything simpler.
So decision made: I'll offer SEPA as well.

How long will the GB be? mentioned in the timeline. but maybe I will have to extend the order phase in order to make up for my expenditures for the prototype and the samples. MOQ 40 is not about getting any money from this, it is more about making it happen at all . Will you accept SEPA? wanted to ...

I am a little bit dissapointed that the price has increased for about 50% since the first price assumption - for me that is a huge bummer... Now I must consider thoroughly. Missing this beauty and a german GB would be a shame, but o my budget... It might seem that way on first sight, but actually i...

btw we are at 36 orders at the moment. so moq won't be a problem :) And that is even before announcements on /r/Mechanicalkeyboards and /r/Mechmarket looks like that 100 moq price point might be in reach that's pretty optimistic, would be great of course! I won't post on reddit until I have made a ...

I ordered 2 cases yesterday (60% standard plate a and 75%). Is is possible to get an additional 60% standard plate b, so i get 2 cases and 3 plates at all? Edit: I also got no confirmation mail. ordering an extra plate would not be a problem, sorry I hadn't anticipated this. I do use one for testin...

I put in my order yesterday but I never got a verification email, Would you mind checking that my order was registered? I was on mobile at the moment and I just wanna make sure I didn't mess it up. ouch, didn't know I could turn on verification emails. just looked it up, would have required an addo...

combined

IC phase ended

GB here

Finally! Sorry it took so long. Still so much I wanted to get arranged before GB start like better pictures, another build with other switches and typingvideo. But there is always something missing. I'll add all this, step by step.

Hi everyone, after a long IC phase I'm finally starting the GroupBuy for my custom case. I don't want to write a lot about concept, construction, design and features, since I already did this quite extensively in the IC opening post and throughout the discussion there. I'll summarize, do some c&p a...
