XD84 / EEPW84 75% Keyboard Kit Group Buy, Organized by
reconsiderit.
I’m pretty new with GH but have been on
r/mechanicalkeyboards for a while now and started a GB on
reddit and wanted to expand it to GH. I want to be
completely open and transparent with this since this will be
the first GB that I will be organizing. I’ve done a lot of
things like this with a couple of friends a few times so
have a feel and some background to what kind of timeframe
and expenses are associated with running a GB. I also manage
logistics at work so I’m pretty familiar with how to handle
shipping and collaborations with people overseas.

GB INSTRUCTIONS
After receiving ample response
on the interest check, Ive decided to go ahead and start the
group buy. This will be run for a little more than two weeks
and close on Friday, May 12th. I will send out invoices as
soon as the form is filled out and youll have till the
sunday after the close date to pay it and orders will be
submitted to the vendor on Monday the 15th.
PRICING If
you participated in the IC, you probably have noticed the
somewhat heavy price hike on the Aluminum/Acrylic 3 layer
case, it was because the shipping weight (2.4kg) floated
right over my head and I calculated it based on volumetric
weight. I updated the price to reflect the shipping cost.
The Final price will be the cost of the selected items plus
shipping costs (Ill be using USPS for most orders) and the
0.30+2.9% paypal fee which is calculated on the order and
the shipping cost. Please leave a note if you would like a
final quote before the invoice is sent out.
TIMELINE
Im
planning to run everything as quickly as possible so the GB
time will be two weeks. Im leaving three weeks for shipping
although SF express tells me 6 working days at the most
since their shipping times seem to be around 2 weeks.
Friday
May 19th - GB Close
Sunday May 21st - Invoices Due
Friday
July 24th - Recieve and Ship Orders
DESCRIPTION
The
EEPW84 or the XD84 is a fully programmable, 75% keyboard
with the Kimera core. Lots of layout and case options as
well as RGB underglow support. You can build it with an ISO
enter, split backspace, and a split left shift as well as
other combos here and there. Both drop in plates as well as
the standalone bent SS plate support switch top removal.

UPDATES BELOW:
The invoices will be sent out
once the 50 unit MOQ has been reached. Right now we are at
20 units as of Friday the 28th.
I will be getting a
second batch of samples in sometime hopefully next week to
check QC and get some better pictures as well as some
different builds for you guys. If they’re not here by
Monday, I will postpone the GB deadline till the week after
on the 19th of May. It shouldn’t cause any issues with the
receiving date though so we should have an extra week to buy
and I should still be able to get them shipped out as
planned.
Because I overlooked the vendor’s production
times when writing and deciding the timeline, the products
will be shipped out July 24th, about a month and a half
later than expected. If that is too long of a wait for some,
please contact me and I can refund or withdraw your
invoice.
So the mobo on my computer died and now I’m
without a computer to work on so invoices will be a little
delayed since I’ll be stuck with my macbook which is the
slowest thing ever. I’ll try and get things through to
everyone this weekend though. The second round of samples
will be here on friday so expect some clarification and
exact dimensions over the weekend.
Ok, got my computer
back up and running and am pc master race again. I’ll be
getting some more invoices written and sent this week.
Samples
came in (and were accidentally delivered to my neighbor down
the street) so I’ll get some pictures of everything in as I
get things built this week. I have
a board built on the steel plate
and it looks pretty neat, just gotta get proper photos when
the sun comes up. I’ll probably have a “one week left post”
up on monday with some of my photos of the samples that I’ve
received.
