Hey, Geekhack friends,
Today I am here with an Interest Check : The Nutcracker.(was originally named ‘the nuts’ whoops)
The GB will be going LIVE on November 27, 2018 00:00, GMT +8 (aka Singapore time), which is in about 10 hours. The GB will be posted on both GH and r/mm.

It is a switch opener with a unique and simple design, prototype just finished by today:

Right part is a cover.(In case you dropped the opener from table and damage the “teeth”)

Specifications:

  1. Made with aluminium.
  2. CNC processed and anodized.
    Colors:
    Black, Blue and Sliver
    Price:
    est around $20USD++ included shipping(still looking for the budget and reliable courier,also depends on moq and quote from cnc factory)
    Why i did this?
  3. I don’t believe that the 3D printed one can last quite long.
  4. I need lube every switch for my personal use.(Vintage Black, ergo clear, zealios stem in cherry housing and etc)
  5. I need it TBH:)
    Thanks:)
    Edit: added that Kailh opener is a separate one
    Edit 1:The GB will be going LIVE on November 27, 2018 00:00, GMT +8 (aka Singapore time), which is in about 10 hours. The GB will be posted on both GH and r/mm .
    To shorten the lead time for this GB, we currently have 400 Nutcrackers already in production: 300 MX and 100 Kailh (box switch compatible).

    These 400(300+100) will go on a FCFS basis when the GB goes live.
    But, have no fear, if orders exceed beyond the 300 MX and 100 Kailh, we will produce more. Please buffer an additional 2 - 3 weeks lead time for this.
    Thank you for reading!
