This GB is going to be for the GK64.
MOQ is 20 keyboards for the discounted price.
If it does not hit MOQ prices would end up increasing and changing.

MOQ has been hit and passed!!

International Folks! --> If you prefer the package to be shipped out by /u/dartdart who is located in Singapore, you have the following option as offered by him:
> Your initial invoice will NOT include shipping costs.
> All orders made through /u/dartdart will be approximately 15USD lower due to savings from shipping. This is the estimated cost saving, please take the invoice to be final. The parcel will then be shipped to Singapore and repacked and ship out again using services provided by goeasyship (https://www.goeasyship.com/) You choose your own preferred service provider and top up the price in the 2nd invoice.
> If 2nd option is chosen: Your invoice will be handled entirely by /u/dartdart

All packages sent by me will be shipped through USPS Priority Mail LARGE Flat Rate Box with tracking and insurance..

**IMPORTANT**
This is a NEW design custom PCB and the screw position is different. Left shift is 2u. Hence it does not support the standard GH60 cases.

At the current moment PCB + Stabs only is NOT available but will be available in a second GB run if the demand for it is there.

Please note that there is a PRE-SALE on going on TaoBao.
But this GB will be directly made with the vendor.

They have allowed Gateron switches which is not included in the Taobao pre-sale.

Vendor has promised a guaranteed shipment date of May 18th as well as refund guarantee in case keyboards doesnt ship at all.
New promised shipment date is May 22nd due to the large order of more than 40 keyboards at this moment.

But please understand that shipping to our destination takes time and delayed shipping may occur due to the long distance transit.

Vendor's ship date guarantee only applies for up to 20 keyboards, if there are orders of more than 20 keyboards, the shipping date will be pushed back a few days.



Currently we are asking the vendor for a sample so that I can best answer any questions you guys might have.

**UPDATE May 22**

Shipping has been delayed to May 28 from 22 due to the issues of marks/nicks and white gunk around the port of the case as well as the edges.

To get better case manufactering and to prevent sending everyone keyboards that are under par in terms of quality, we chose to take the delay so all the dates will be pushed back about a week, sorry!
