Phantom Custom Keyboard Group Buy (CLOSED)

Findecanor · 01 Sep 2012, 05:43

Great news. Don't forget to pack my Cherry MX sample bag!
I will be lubing the switches for my Phantom later this week then.

I have been a little bit anxious, because I got the RO-59 a month ago and it has a limited shelf life of only a few months.

Cherry MX sample bag!

Just in time!

BTW: I'm at 0090 and I will be able to ship all orders on Monday or Tuesday (depending on post office capacity).

7bit · 02 Sep 2012, 18:49

All orders packed!

Now, I just have to put them into boxes and take them to the post office.

7bit is a packing machine!

dirge · 02 Sep 2012, 19:27

Chance I could get it this week! I'm a happy dirge

HzFaq · 02 Sep 2012, 20:03

HHKB, Filco Zero number 2 and Phantom in one week would just be too much awesome.

It was so much easier to pack from the lowest invoice number up to the highest. Looking for switch-only orders was quite a pain.

Not really bud, to put it in perspective people in the group buy have been waiting nearly a year from start to finish on this.

Take a look at the ergodox, that 'fingers crossed' should be ready to go into order/production in the next few months.

its crazy how long a project like this can take!

yench · 12 Sep 2012, 22:08

mine arrived today, thanks to all who made it happen!

Findecanor · 13 Sep 2012, 17:41

I got my parts here today in Sweden.

Thanks to everyone who was had a part in making this happen!

The plates look great! I love black-anodized brushed aluminium. I wish I had a case with that finish. Too bad that my plan all along had been to mod the plates, and mar the finish... :\
BTW. There was an additional MX Lock and M7 in my bag of Clear switches beside the two Lock and the M7 in the sample bag (my Wiki compo prize).

mintberryminuscrunch · 13 Sep 2012, 19:52

picked mine up today,
thanks 7bit

7bit · 13 Sep 2012, 20:33

I think I will be able to ship all the rest tomorrow, so I can start shipping the CherryMX orders.

dirge · 13 Sep 2012, 20:45

I think they are. Must have shipped yesterday.

HzFaq · 13 Sep 2012, 21:59

Fuck yeah!

7bit · 13 Sep 2012, 22:14

HzFaq · 13 Sep 2012, 22:15

I'm a bit excited.

agor · 13 Sep 2012, 22:28

Me too. How did you solve the problem with my Clear Switches ending up @ BiNi? Did you have enough spares? *crosses fingers*

BiNiaRiS wrote:dmk, riffautae, theta, and malpardis. Your switches were either lost in the mail or somehow missed the cut when 7bit was shipping them. We're relatively certain they were lost in the mail. Either way, 7bit is shipping replacement switches. To make it even worse, I only have some extra MX Red switches which none of you ordered. I will be shipping out the rest of your orders so you can at least start on soldering diodes.

Should I have received the non-switch parts by now? I have received nothing.
I verified that the invoice sent to my email had the right address.
