Hello!
First time group buy runner here and now that
school is done I’m going to push to setup and complete the
group buy in a quick turnaround.
I still have a few
details to hammer out with Greatfirewall but I believe most
of it is hammered down so far.
There’s one unfortunate
problem, I didn’t manage to build it yesterday since I
forgot the PCB mount stabilizers when I went to visit
Nathan. So right now it’s still not built.
So what
exactly is the Golbat?
The Golbat is a 40% keyboard
that has an adjustable bottom row. This means that you can
desolder and resolder in the way that you like. Here are
some examples of how Greatfirewall, Ryu have setup their own
Golbat:
The case is 4 layers. Top and bottom layers are
aluminum and the middle layers are acrylic.
The colors
available are the following:
Aluminum：sliver, black,
pink, blue, green,purple

Acrylic：you can choose the colors in this link：
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z10.1-c.w137644-66242819.2.ZNnbyp&id=19615052779
So this gives a really wide availability of colors
for your color matching OCD.
The PCB comes with the
diodes and resistors soldered on so the only thing left for
you to buy is switches, LEDs, stabilizers.
One part of the acrylic goes above the PCB and the
other below the PCB.
If you have any other questions
regarding the keyboard itself, let me know and I’ll either
answer them or forward them to GFW.
Of course I haven’t
programmed my PCB yet since it’s not built but I’ll have it
built before I start the GB. This is purely the IC.
The
aim for the group buy is 20 units with each unit being about
1KG for shipping.
The units will be produced by the
friend of GFW in China and shipped to me.
The standard
Golbat 40% set will cost $80USD + fees and shipping.
For
an extra $15 the HHKB plate will be included (so you’ll get
both the standard plate and the HHKB style plate). This is
$95USD + fees and shipping.
Shipping it being done from
Quebec, Canada and should be $12-17USD anywhere in Canada
with insurance for $200 CDN.
To ship to the USA the
price is $15-20USD including insurance for $100CDN. (It’s a
big jump for the extra insurance).
The range is because
Canada Post doesn’t have flat rate boxes and is all
dependent on the distance. British Columbia is more
expensive than Ontario to ship to. Some ZIP codes in the USA
are more expensive but in general it’s $15.
Anodized
bolts: Before people ask, unfortunately GFW can’t source
them for the GB so they’ll be plain grey.
If there’s
something else to clarify, let me know!
edit: Sorry
should have mentioned that Ill be starting the order process
probably mid Jan and collecting the money by the end of
Jan.

edit3:
No feet. You could do like the GoN mobik and just use the
high quality rubber stick on feet
edit4: I am not the
designer, just the organizer to order and distribute the
bulk shipment from China here in North America.
This
means that the designs are final and the colors are only the
colors posted
edit5: Just want to clarify something,
insurance for $100 CDN is about $75USD.
If it happens
to get lost in the mail to you I can only refund the
insurance money.
It’s about $25 USD for shipping to USA
for full coverage of the board.
The GB is of course at
cost and I have to pay $75 / board up front for the order
and it takes about 4-6 weeks from production to shipping if
I understood GFW correctly.
So if I collect payment end
of January it should be around mid-march to april for you to
receive the kit.
edit6:
Bottom row is 1.25, 1,
1.25, 6.25, 1, 1.25
Or 1.25, 1, 1.25, 2.25, 2.75, 1.25,
1, 1.25
The HHKB layout drops the 1.25 at both ends.
edit7:
I’ve organized to extend the order size to 50 units but no
more for the first order. This avoids taking in too much
money at once and won’t increase production and shipping
time by too much.
edit8: There’s no easy way to add
LEDs to the bottom of the PCB. While you could, let’s just
say that it’s not originally supported.
edit9: Expect
$40+ for shipping outside of Canada / USA.
