Welcome to the official Group Buy for the Hyper 7 inspired H7 (173%) PCB.
The buy will run for 7 days or until 30 orders have been met - due to the size we have to hand solder these and any more will likely cause timescales to overrun. If we still have significant demand we will run a Round 3 as well using the R2 design.
The interest check showed a number of people would be interested in a CNC case design - so this is continuing with Xondat in parallel but no further news on that front at the moment.
I'll also share the files for the wooden floating case design once the GB concludes - I have dimensions for the R1 PCB but as things are changing for R2 I'll need to re-draft once I have the first PCBs on hand.
Changes from R1:
- Moved to three rows on the top daughter-board to closer match the original vision.
- Re-aligned mount points
- Some slight routing changes to accommodate 'Function' and 'Mode' LEDs for those two layers
- PCBs will be Blue in colour
Pricing as follows:
PCB production, components & soldering (still requires switches and LEDs) - £120
Optional Steel laser cut plate with Mounting points (2 piece - one for the main board and one for the daughter board) - £100
****Packaging is included, but shipping will be requested once production has been completed and all boards are on hand.
Production is likely to take 4 - 6 weeks, and on this thread there will be a link to the plan and sequence of events which I'll update each week.

If you have any questions please post here
----------------------
11/03 - Now closed at 40 PCBs in total - R3 is being planned. Invoicing will begin tomorrow once I've finalised all details.
any questions just let me know!!
----------------------
12/03 - Invoices are now going out! All invoices issued - 38% paid
added KLE - -----------------------
14/03 - 60% paid!!
-----------------------
16/03 - final day for invoice to be paid by 10pm Uk time - currently sat at 65% of payments complete. Final reminders have now been sent
-----------------------
17/03 - The good news all orders are in! About ten people dropped out of the GB or didn't complete the invoice, so technically we didn't make MOQ - but - I'm going to personally fund the rest (pls don't tell the missus as its her wedding dress fund!!).
As such the orders for both PCB's and Plates will be submitted and paid over the weekends.
Once these have been paid for I'll drop another update out to confirm and update the plan:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1KFGsbgjQ80K1KrMycLISsef8O6CjZUPpNPQmlKeo6Dg/edit?usp=sharingInvoicing for shipping will begin once I've received the parts and tested them. the shipping will be done in a bulk job lot and all go out in one day.
If anyone is thinking of attending the MKUK Meetup in May, and I have all the parts by then (which I'm really hoping to!) then we can arrange a handover there
--------------------------------
28/03/2018 - PCBs are well into production at the moment, and Plates have just started. Work has also commenced on the revised QMK port for the new layout and pin position as well as the actual keymap as well. Plan has been updated.
