Same here :( Anyone in Australia want anything from Mechanicalkeyboards, and split shipping costs?

Would these plates work for a sandwich style case?

I Think that is the whole point, but for the middle piece, you may want to contact gon, or sprit or just make one yourself ;) like I have done and will do if this goes through ;)

Another update: confirmed price drops! Not sure how much but it will be cheaper!

For the mid piece do you mean something similar to the GON style keyboard, or the pcb? The keyboard i am making does not have a mid piece. Checkout some of JDCarpes work.

I know it doesn't but that was the whole point of my comment is that it is possible to add a middle piece after if anyone desires :)

It would have to be custom, but the screws are far enough away from the PCB that it will be possible.

I'm on board as well. My Phantom case is sad as hell.

I don't think this would fit a Filco like the OP says. There's no cutout for the controller.

Will this have holes for feet? Like the JD40 does?

Is there an updated render for ANSI 150 with the stabs mounted directly on the plates? I just want to be sure this thing will fit. Also, would it be possible to have a hole in the back that lines up with the teensy 2 button? I'd rather not take the whole thing apart for reprogramming. Any thoughts on this folks?

The new models arent finished yet, should be by tomorrow. The design is open, so you wont have to have a hole. The plate is about 1 inch above the bottom plate, which should leave finger room to press the teensy.

If you're not using some sort of spacer piece in the middle of the case, the Phantom Teensy is pretty close to the top edge of the plate, so you should just be able to use a pen or something to push the button. You'd most likely only have to press the button once anyway, as you can assign a key combination to put the board into bootloader mode once you program a layout.

This is true. I suppose I'll adjust the layout when I'm taking it apart to fit everything to the new plate. I do plan to have some sort of 4 piece acrylic spacer made (although the case looks pretty good as is) but I'll assign a key combo as you have suggested in case of further changes (although I can't imagine I'll bring back Caps Lock!). As an aside, is there a GH thread for this? It would be sweet to get a cheap pricing tier via more interested people.

There is, just posted it yesterday. No ones bitten though :/ Im not sure of the exact prices, get those next week, but it should be cheaper then before.

Just to let you guys know, if you e-mail MechanicalKeyboards, they can arrange cheaper shipping via USPS INTL First Class. Not sure how much cheaper it would be to Aus or Portugal, but for Canada the shipping went from $25USD to $10USD. They also have Teensy 2.0s in stock again.. when I e-mailed them I also asked about Teensy 2.0s, and they didn't realize they hadn't updated the site with their stock. :lol:

Worth a try?

Interested if this will fit a QFR pcb and if we can get it down to under $100 :)

I don't think it will fit a QFR, the plate needs a cutout for the controller over the arrow keys for the QFR and Filco.

I can get these make these for half the price. The price of shipping from me will bring it up. The total cost reduction will be about 35-40%.

Really dumb question, I just need a sanity check. The Phantom PCB supports 6.25 space bar, right?
