lol he's selling them for 120 on his site too guys. Zeal is the man and has good shipping dates already. I doubt having massdrop involved will slow him down, but is it worth the risk?
Is there any word on whether a 65% pcb will be available (on its own)?
I've seen zeal post (on reddit i think?) that the 65% pcb is for zeal kits only (not purchasable on its own) but i'm not sure if that means the 黑金 PCB only or if all/any zeal 65% will be kit-only
Yes. Though for the \| key, I'd recommend soldering the switch as it's only a half pad due to the ISO stabilizer hole cutting into it. Holtites won't be able to fit in that particular switch.
Correct, but you should still solder the correct pads that correspond to your layout or there are certain LED effects where certain LEDs will not display the right colour (or torn on) until 7 pads are jumped.
Buying one of these is a smart idea. You might think you're just getting a PCB to make a keyboard. It has a hidden feature... You can light entire rooms with this. Screw those stupid over priced Hue bulbs. Just buy one of these!
You know, it's really unclear now that I look at it closer. It says the pricing would remain in place until March, so I sorta assumed that it was shipping. But given other discussions maybe it isn't. I'll edit my post.
That is a GB also that price on his website does not include 4.5% handling fee that is included when he send you the invoice. The estimated shipping on that is end of March.
