Cherry MX and Matias switches

[Muirium]

@beltet, I've just received a notification from PayPal that 7bit has delivered my package. So, the answer is... today? Maybe

The ones from Paypal are meaningless. They're just to stop Paypal from locking up the collector's account.

We'll know when 7bit's about to ship because he'll be posting pictures and constant updates like a new father!

[gianni]

And I was already cleaning the desk.... dear 7bits Couriers, I hope to see your delivery soon.

[Muirium]

It all comes down to the manufacturer: Signature Plastics. They've delayed Round 5 many times now. 7bit will be as happy to see it go as we will to see it arrive!

[gianni]

But luckily I ordered things that were already available, just some mixed caps and switches

Hi 7bit,

I sent an order via PM to CherryMX yesterday but didn't receive any confirmation/status/invoice. Am I doing something wrong?

I believe that the "bot" is just lazy atm.
I haven't got a updated invoice yet after my payment.
But that can depend on the banks as well .
Just wait and you will get a invoice, the bot never fails, it just needs a kick in the back

[OneMoreThing]

Sorted!

[Stardive]

Just a short question, is it possible to change the LOCKswitch basepart with one with pins for PCB Mount or are they just to different for such things?

[chzel]

Too different, half the lock mechanism is in the bottom.

[Stabilized]

Good question, and thanks for the answer
I was going to ask something similar, or just try it out when I got my latest batch of switches. I find it hard to tell from the picture on the wiki.

Hey, I've made an order, paid and everything, but since I've written PAYPAL right after my address it says my country is PAYPAL, but my whole address is there, I just hope there won't be any problems.

Invoice #0789.

[redragor]

Hey,
How long does it take to receive a confirmation that payment received (Paypal)?

[7bit]

For people who ordered MXBLUEs:
It will take about a week until I get the new load.

[obfuscated]

What about the ones with the obfuscated orders?

[gianni]

Nomen omen = a name is a destiny

Anyway, all orders are obfuscated by default.

[shamanas]

Order 0600 finally arrived (Greek postal service is shit D:), thanks 7bit!

Nah, it's fine! Consistently late!

[ROFLmonster]

Any news on the next batch of shipments? 0789 here, paid a few days ago.

[redragor]

And what about 0786 as well?

[andrewjoy]

has 697 shipped ?

[l2k]

Can I order switches along with a Teensy 2.0 and diodes? Do you have the microcontroller in stock?

[gianni]

You need to ask the bot cherrymx

[Stabilized]

You need to ask the bot. Instructions should be in the wiki.

Bare in mind that there is two bots, one for dealing with Cherry MX orders (and some old keyboards) [cherrymx] and one that deals with keycaps [7bot].

[gianni]

Are you really sure that there are two bots???? I don't really think so. I sent a pm to the bot cherrymx, which in turn sent me back a list of the switches and of the keycaps.

Ah, the confusion!
CherryMX handles the switches, a couple keyboards, and the keycaps from this thread
The rest of the keycaps (Round 5/5a) are handled by 7bot

[l2k]

Thanks guys, I got an e-mail with the list of avaiable parts. Still, the Teensy is listed as pre-order only. Any ideia when it will be in stock? I'm starting to regret not having joined the Teensy GB.

[Muirium]

Probably quite a while. 7bit didn't have any money spare for joining in on my little group buy a few weeks ago.

This one:

Nothing to see there for Americans, though. I simply sneaked a few over so we could enjoy American price!

[SL89]

ahh ok, no wonder i didn't see it either.
