Phantom Custom Keyboard -- Assembly Service

In order to keep the Phantom order thread a little cleaner, I'm opening this separate thread in order to provide assembly services. I am willing to provide this service because I enjoy soldering, not in order to make money. The time involved is worth more than the prices I am charging.

Terms:

You provide all parts and pay for all shipping fees. For shipping estimates I am located in CT USA, 06483. I will consider switch re-assembly (ie: ergo clears) if you provide all parts and a bribe. If you want me to put your keycaps on you must provide a clear image/picture of the layout. I don't do blank keycap sorting.

I provide assembly/soldering/testing service and all supplies required (ie: solder, flux, ...) for a fixed fee. I can also grease the stabilizers with white lithium, please REQUEST this or it won't get done. My validation testing consists of point to point continuity testing.

I can provide stabilizer wire bending to spec, I have the proper sized die to make consistent bends in this size wire.

If you provide a compiled firmware I will load it to the controller. I will inform you if there are issues loading it and you are responsible for dealing with it. I will inform you as to whether standard layout key-testing works (ie: letters/numbers, no funky layer testing) before shipping.

I provide priority service for a fixed fee, if a priority slot is not purchased I will not artificially delay any assemblies later on the list. Priority service is limited to a fixed quantity. Upon completion of assembly and testing an email/PM will be sent to you with validation results. It is up to you to respond in a timely manner so that I can then ship the unit(s) to you. If there is no firmware involved you can request immediate shipping up front.

Priority service: (time to completion and notification of such, or immediate ship at your request)
$120 - 3 slots - Priority 1: 3 business days after receipt
$80 - 5 slots - Priority 2: 5 business days after receipt
$50 - 7 slots - Priority 3: 7 business days after receipt

$20 - Non-priority, first come first serve (in order of finalized request via PM/email and acceptance of payment responsibilities).

$5 - Putting keycaps on the board.


My house is smoke free. Update: (no longer, she's deceased after 18yrs: I have 1 cat and she doesn't jump on my desk) Current: 2 kittens, 8 weeks old, painfully cute and in training as desk/lap cats. They have been on my lap for over 4 hours today. Cat hair is at a minimum and I will blow off your keyboard during packing (and not with my mouth).



I hope I covered everything, feel free to ask for clarification. I will not be posting a list of who bought what, just a list of who has accepted the above terms.


New additions:
If you are having me put together an 87-key standard board (no Cherry footprints) then please order a minimum 7" stabilizer for the space bar (STAB700). Feel free to get the larger STAB1000 if you choose. This will allow me the extra length to ensure a proper re-size.


SHIPPING UPDATE: Use my username (alaricljs) as your mailing address when you update your order with shipping info.
