Folks,
I’ve been talking to a number of people who want to come together and celebrate smallfry’s life. Yesterday, we bounced the idea of a 110 red on red keyset that harkens to one of his favorite boards. We’ve been talking about the economics of it, and what we’ve come up with instead is a group buy of JD40 40% boards. I’ll let jdcarpe talk about how he and smallfry worked together on the 40% board idea, but the basic idea for the GB will be pretty simple from a participant’s point of view.
We are going to build kits to make JD40 boards. The layout will not be customizable. It will be a basic winkeyless layout with possible one small change for a key that acknowledges and celebrates nathan’s profound influence on the board, both the keyboard and the forum.
each kit will come with:
1x titanium switch plate
1x PCB
2x acrylic spacers
1x aluminum bottom plate
1x bumpon kit
1x red on red keyset designed specifically for this board
1x titanium switch plate
1x titanium bottom plate
1x sorbothane spacer gasket
1x PCB
1x bumpon kit
1x fastener set
the smaller size of the keyset will keep keyset costs reasonable. the titanium will be polymer coated for durability, and the aluminum will be either protected or colored via anodization or powder.
any and all money made on this GB over the cost of materials and labor will go towards the nathaniel j walter foundation. assembly services will be available, details TBD.
we miss you nathan. :(

update: regardless of what goes under the titanium switch plate, the switch plate will NOT have switch-opening notches. If you want switch-opening notches: head here http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=58073.msg1333490/#msg1333490 to purchase. limited quantity available. Note that proceeds from the notched switch plates will not go to the NJW foundation.
