Massdrop has sent an email today that the demand is so big, that they plan a new round of both kits and keycaps started by the end of this week.

A bit off topic and it's Friday anyway: what strikes me when I'm reading about all these layers, transparent and sticky keys and macros - we don't need to have strong passwords for computers equipped with such keyboards, no intruder is ever able to type the password in even if he knows it :D
Unless ...

I wouldn't mind if this topic gets split into two, if most people prefer that.

That quarrel about Massdrop is definitely boring for me, so count me in for the split.
As for my opinion - it's personal decision of every person whom he trusts and who does not. 207 people trusted Massdrop and it's ...

I've seen a number of post regarding interest in getting additionals but out of curiosity. How many actually went through with getting additional pcbs or 2+ kits? I just got 1 kit as im only planning for home use only mounting them on my cheapo arm chair. :lol:


I've ordered 2 full sets for work ...

+1 for labeled DCS PBT caps.

Nice project. I'm going to be following this one...Depending on the price I could be persuaded. Right now I'm just going to follow the progress though. Really cool!

The price will be $199 if we get 5 more buyers here: https://www.massdrop.com/buy/ergodox

Just 2 left and I'm going to order at ...

I've also decided to go for acrylic ones and if needed some years later print a new ones on 3D printer, when it costs $5 a case

If you guys want i might be able to buy from massdrop for you and then ship it in prefered style to your location. I would need the money before ordering to do so though. You could then avoid massdrop in a way.
Just an update i will do this as lots of people dont seem to want to deal with buying ...

This is for those who are in Europe and who desperately wants the keyboard and has absolutely no hope to assemble it themselves:

I've shown the ErgoDox instructions to my father and he is ready to help the community with assembling services in Europe. Last 25 years he was working at the local ...

If one individual in US sends relatively small box to another individual in EU without any business papers inside - I think it is rather safe to skip customs even without lowering the value. Just mark it as "gift".

The cheapest would be to have it sent to someone in Luxembourg, which has the lowest VAT rate in Europe when importing things, namely 15% opposed to 19% in Germany and 21% in the Netherlands. (Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Union_value_added_tax#VAT_rates)

It is possible to mark it ...

What is the weight of one ErgoDox PCB? Can anyone having it already measure it?
Trying to understand if two boards will fit into a single cheap letter where max weight is 250g, so I could help those in EU needing just boards.

As an example you can check shipping rates for Truly Ergonomic http://www.trulyergonomic.com/store/index.php?route=information/information&information_id=6
So I would imagine that something around $30 is hidden inside the product price and it might be the other way around - that US buyers subsidize ...

We have learned, that they might add more switch options later on as soon as they find them available.

BTW, does anyone know what's the most quiet switch for both programming and occasional gaming? I thought that the Black one is (together with softest O-ring), but then I see how such companies as ...
