Hey everyone
After completing one set of 50 orders for
R1 and having some interest via PM for R2, I have discussed
this with Greatfirewall (who’s organizing the manufacturing
in and shipping from China).
This time we’re able to
offer RGB underside LEDs (so maybe choose some clear
acrylic!) and carbon fiber plates. However besides the
increased prices of the higher end parts, Greatfirewall did
not account for some fees on his side in R1 so the base
prices of the kits have to go up.
Looking to deliver
another 50 units.
New pricing:
New pricing (all in USD):
Base kit (with either HHKB
or Normal plate): $99. Note, for R1 the HHKB kit was
always additional on the base kit with normal plate, this
is no longer the case. You can purchase EITHER the HHKB or
Normal 40% top plate in the base kit.
Additional
metal plate (HHKB or Normal): $20
Upgrade to black
carbon fibre for the base kit: $25
Upgrade from black
carbon fibre to other color (requires the upgrade to black
carbon fibre): $5
Add another carbon fibre plate in
any color or style: $30
Additional acrylic mid
section (any color): $18
RGB Leds: FREE!
NOTE:
Last time shipping from China was billed separately but
now it’s included in the base kit price.
PRICES DO NOT INCLUDE PAYPAL FEES TO ME. 1.04x is the
rate to use when calculating your own kit total. Prices do
however include all fees to Greatfirewall (who’s using
paypal which costs another 4%).
Since it took around 5
months last time from placing the order to shipping from
North America, I do not want to list parcel pricing and will
collect this when I receive the order from China. In R1 I
collected this upfront and parcel prices increased a bit but
I had enough to cover this (international pricing changes a
lot more often). To international customers: you are
responsible for your own import taxes based on the //value declared//. Insured or uninsured options are available to USA /
International. Insured tends to be a lot cheaper but again,
I’ll send out a survey after the parcels have shipped from
China to determine shipping.
Example order: Base kit,
in gold carbon.
Total before shipping from North
America: $85+$30+$6, $121. $121 x 1.04 = $125.84

Now this seems very similar to the AMJ40 right?
Here’s a statement from Greatfirewall on the matter:
Quote
They copy almost all of the 40% layout include golbat and
plank.
They made amj60 by copy gh60chn, made amj mini
by copy kmac mini, made amj40 by copy other 40% kit,made
amjpad by copy ghpad, they even copy a tkg-toolkit fireware
tool from tkg.io.
All their products are copy others
idea.
So if you don’t care about supporting designers
you can get a similar kit for cheaper but otherwise for not
too much more you can get the authentic product.

Final note: I can assemble units for people but
shipping of switches to Canada is usually very expensive. If
you want your kit delivered to someone else for building
this can be arranged.
