UPDATE/INFORMATION:

1. I should have been firm about this earlier, but I have to drop the 5x space bar. Each space bar colour needs to meet the 500 MOQ as well. So with the 2 different space bars and 5 different colours, it's impossible to get 5000 space bars altogether...

2. Changed the order form a bit.  Made it less confusing..

3. Shipping fee from the supplier to me will be spread amongst the orders.

4. Picture

5. 3 sets will be under 1 LB. - 111g (0.245 lb) x 3 sets =  333g (0.74 LB) + weight of box - should be under 1LB
6-7 sets should be under 2.2 LB
10-11 sets should be under 3.3 LB

6. If you  really need a 6.25x size space bar, you can get it at WASDkeyboards.com (http://www.wasdkeyboards.com/index.php/spacebar-cherry-mx-keycap.html)
http://www.wasdkeyboards.com/index.php/spacebar-cherry-mx-keycap.html

7. Payment process will begin AFTER we reach the MOQ for all 5 colours -  I will see how this GB progress after a month and make some decisions.

8. The many possible colour layouts you can do to your sets! The pictures do not accurately depict the actual sets (font and 6.25x space bar are one of them).  These are just some of them!

ok so this is a brand new form?

placed 0 for the spacebars, is there any board we can use those space bars on?
Title: Re: Tai Hao 104 Coloured Double Shot Key Caps Set Group Buy
Post by: elton5354 on Mon, 20 May 2013, 20:19:05

Yeah, I will need your information for shipping and paypal.

People, you need to choose your space bars as they are included with each set.  Pick 1 space bar for each set you order. 

Example: 5 sets ordered, pick 5 space bars.

They are included, so might as well take them.

Okay, I realized it's very confusing and complicated to have 2 space bars to choose from..I'm going to remove 5x..

5x and 7x spacebar... which category would the QFR falls into?
Title: Re: Tai Hao 104 Coloured Double Shot Key Caps Set Group Buy
Post by: rowdy on Mon, 20 May 2013, 20:23:40
QFR = 6.25x space bar.

I wondered whether a 7x could be cut to size.
Title: Re: Tai Hao 104 Coloured Double Shot Key Caps Set Group Buy
Post by: bazemk1979 on Mon, 20 May 2013, 20:27:09
Elton its too late men, I saw the sizing of the space bars and choose 0, really I don't need any of those sizes.... I did choose 1 of each set and don't care what spacebar size you include with the sets.

EDIT: I saw you asked about the Win keys and the page key if we want to have them printed or blank, honestly I don't care about that either cause even if they are printed they wont get used up much, they never get any usage practically. But if majority wants blanks, fine by me, blanks are just fine, these sets are a deal and a half and don't brake the wallet like others.
Title: Re: Tai Hao 104 Coloured Double Shot Key Caps Set Group Buy
Post by: rowdy on Mon, 20 May 2013, 20:28:59
Ordered - 1 of each :)

Hopefully the minimum of 2 per person is overall and not per colour.

Post by: mashby on Mon, 20 May 2013, 20:33:08
Placed an order for two sets of each color, except black and forgot to choose spacebars. If you want to put 7x's on all my orders that's cool.
Title: Re: Tai Hao 104 Coloured Double Shot Key Caps Set Group Buy
Post by: elton5354 on Mon, 20 May 2013, 20:35:42
Ok, if space bars are left blank, I'll make 7x the default space bar.

Which common keyboards use 5x and 7x spacebars?  Just trying to figure out what I'd do with a spacebar from this set (my current one is a 6.25)

I've seen this list, but it's far from complete.

That will cost extras for 1.5x blank mods.

Not sure.. I know custom winkeyless keyboards uses 7x

I don't have any. When I asked, they sent me a paper copy of what's included or not on the set. They're made to order, I'd guess.

Only the windows and menu keys are blank. They are unable to double shot them. The rest are double shots.

Post by: lightsout714 on Mon, 20 May 2013, 21:04:11
In for a couple sets. Hopefully we can hit the minimums. I hope black sticks around might save me $90 if they are good enough compared to cherry's.

Black is still in, but as the MOQ is 500 and black had the least interest, it might not read MOQ.

Ouch, that shipping.  It actually seems like it's just as expensive to ship within Canada as it is to ship to Canada, but a lot more expensive to ship to the US.  If I were to get it, could I ask to drop the spacebars if it's going to edge over 1lb?

I can take out your space bar if it goes over.

What you see is what you get with Tai Hao.  Those color options are all they offer.  They only are doing rubber coated caps and ABS double shots (maybe a few other small specialty ones like the rubber coated ones that I'm forgetting about), but they aren't doing double shot PBT.  In fact, it's hard to get any place to do that from what I've seen, especially with a full set.

Are you affirmative about that? They might be the supplier to Vortex doubleshot PBT.

The mold does look very similar to Tai-Hao style double shots.  Does Vortex use 5/7 instead of 6.25 space bar?

I'm going off of the e-mails that were posted and the list of caps they said they can produce according to the person who originally got in contact with them in the IC.  If they do the PBT doubleshots, I'd be surprised, but more than willing to admit I'm wrong.

You can't even fully count that one imo... They just doubleshot that big white circle, which should be much easier to do than actual legends, and then dyesubbed the letter on it.

Guys, I should have been firm about this earlier, but I have to drop the 5x space bar. Each space bar colour needs to meet the 500 MOQ as well. So with the 2 different space bars and 5 different colours, it's impossible to get 5000 space bars altogether...

I'll update OP with a count.

It's just an estimate. I'm not 100% sure yet about the shipping.

I'll just disregard all the 5x orders..

Well, I don't have a 7x board and actually don't need it.

But I figure this is a set price and it wouldn't be cheaper if we drop the spacebar, so why not take it?

Elton when all is said and done and since MOQ is so high and we don't reach MOQ. Can I encourage you to give them the final numbers of all the color orders and see if maeby they just might do it if we are between 300-400 MOQ per color. Just an idea.

i would have figured some people would want to do a 2 color set by using 2 colors, black base set with blue or red or green or yellow modifiers. ill be sad if there isn't enough black orders.

I don't think the blackwidow can fit the 7x space bar.

A set includes a space bar, but some people doesn't need it or can't use it, so they opt out.

I'm still wondering whether a 7x space bar could be cut and glued to fit a 6.25x keyboard.  Won't look pretty, but it would match 100%.

Or you can get coloured space bars from: http://www.wasdkeyboards.com/index.php/spacebar-cherry-mx-keycap.html

The colours won't match exactly, but will at least provide an option.

Why don't you order the spacebar for every set by default? You could distribute the spacebars that people dont want among the other orders with matching colors!

I mean we pay the same for a set with and without a spacebar, so why not take it? I don't think this would change the shipping costs for your initial order at all...

I would hope that the GB would be extended and those who ordered colours that definitely wouldn't get in (black) would have the opportunity to order a different colour.

Yes, each set will come with a space bar, but it will be either a space bar that only fits vintage boards (7 units length), or a space bar that essentially fits no boards at all (5 units length) except some special asian ones maybe.

So for a board like Filco or modern Cherry or Ducky everything is supposed to fit except the space bar. Tai Hao can - for reasons that are beyond my understanding by far - not provide the 6,25u spacebar that most people would need.

From my understanding you put the number of spacebars you want (i.e. the number of sets you're getting) in the field, then specify the colors in the comments box.  So yes, the way you put it down.

Ordered. One of each PLUS THREE SETS OF BLACK BECAUSE DAMMIT WE'RE GETTING BLACKS.

This might sound stupid, but will 7 sets of 4 oz each be less than 2.2 lb? Don't want to spend more than $20 on shipping. Please let me know when you get the scales as I may have to change the order to suit.

(Aside: In Australia, things are metric, there are 1000 grams in a kilogram etc, so it's pretty safe to assume there's no logic at all in how many oz you can fit into 2.2 lb. I'm going to arbitrarily assume there are 84 oz in a lb, that way my order is under 1 lb. The people that invented that crazy system arbitrarily made it up in the first place so why can't I?)

Well Dear LechnerDE, you may regret offering that service to Australians  8) .  YES in Germany there are some very nice keyboards for sale but shipping is not always a barrier unless you have money.

It's the language itself.  Unless you know how to Speak and Type in German it would make it easier to understand their Sale or request for more pictures (if possible).

Imagine the effort for you to translate everything into English as well as offer a proxy service........ that would be too much for you or for any other person to do.

That means

3 sets = 13$ for international shipping
4 sets = 20$ for international shipping

correct?

This makes the 4th set twice as expensive ... I might need to reduce my order or find someone else to split shipping to make it worthwile buying 4+sets.

It is up to the supplier's discretion on what is the MOQ.  We can't order from them unless we reach that minimum, so yes, the orders closes when we reach 500..

500 MOQ is actually really high compare to other vendors.  Imsto had a MOQ of 300 sets.  I think GMK is also 300 sets.  Signature plastic will start from 10 sets I believe but the price bracket is really expensive.

Though since it has highest MOQ, it's also the cheapest set ever (104 keys).  Like for the same price you can get 10 sets of this compare to other vendors' 1 set lol.

If MOQ becomes an issue, I would reconsider ordering only a couple of colors.  I know we won't all agree on which colors, but then if we don't reach MOQ for each--we won't get anything anyway.

So if that becomes the case, I would pick the two most popular colors and do another set of orders for those.  Should in theory result in higher numbers for those two colors.

If MOQ becomes an issue, I would reconsider ordering only a couple of colors.  I know we won't all agree on which colors, but then if we don't reach MOQ for each--we won't get anything anyway.

So if that becomes the case, I would pick the two most popular colors and do another set of orders for those.  Should in theory result in higher numbers for those two colors.

This or even one, then do a second and a third and a fourth after each one us over. This is just my opinion, but I think it's a viable solution considering price.

I'm not too familiar with that.  I will be sending invoices through PayPal. I'm sure you need to log into PayPal in order to pay it..

Here's some info on that

Why don't we do that, except with the most unpopular colour?

I seriously don't see the appeal of red keycaps  (most popular atm), they only look good on a very limited range of boards IMO.

I would've thought more people would've done what I did - a few sets of black and then some colours to use as modifiers... but each to their own I guess.

COME ON PEOPLE ORDER MOAR!!! I WANT THE BLACK ONES AND WE'RE 400 ORDERS OFF!!!

Seriously, they're $8, why is everyone not buying like 10 sets..? So they may not be the highest quality keycaps ever made, but you can buy SO MANY!!!

I would love to see the BLACK one hits MOQ, Elton how long will you leave this GB open, another month or so? Maeby we chose bad timing since we have so many thick PBT exotics with Lysol and Dolch with Sherry... you should let this GB run at least for another month or so.

I ordered 1 of each set, and if things get tighter towards the end, I will kick it another notch and order one more set of each :(

exactly my point, try to combine these bright colors without the black and all goes down the drain. Black is the main component to these sets.

Elton if this ever happens, you should run GB trough SP for matching spacebar colors, this way we can get really close with matching the color of the keycaps. Offcourse if you are not burned out from this GB :P

Agreed. The only thing holding me back from this group buy is the lack of matching 6.25x spacebars.

Someone in the USA should do it since SP is located there and shipping to one of you guys would be substantially cheaper. 

SP keys aren't OEM though, so the height wouldn't match?

I'm sure I can ship to China with Canada Post. It does have China listed.

If it doesn't fit the label, write your Chinese address with the English address in the order form and I'll print it out separately and stick it on the box.

The box weight won't make much/any difference if I increase the size of the box to fit 10 sets.

With 2.5lb weight, it will cost $21.74 to ship plus the cost of the box, say $2? Your increase will be only $3-4.

That shipping cost will be up to 3.3 lb when I checked.

Elton, given that I've ordered a few sets (1x each + 3x black), may I request to have a few of the space bars that others don't want?

If it's too much of a hassle to sort out, that's totally fair enough, might be easier to just ship spacebars to everyone even if they didn't want one.

But I'm going to try building a few 6.5 unit ones using a sharp blade, some glue and some sandpaper, or possibly using the dremel and melting the plastic, or possibly by throwing them at each other **really hard** and hoping they undergo some kind of molecular fission and just pop out as 6.5's lol.

Either way, a few spares would certainly come in handy.

Just got the kitchen scale. I got a mix of SP DS and poker OEM keys and the weight was 111g which is about 3.9 oz

For each set is 111g or 3.9 oz that I weighed with 104 keys (same amount of mods and keys of same size to get a more accurate weight of each key)

Title: Re: Tai Hao 104 Coloured DS Key Caps Set Group Buy - $8/set
Post by: elton5354 on Fri, 24 May 2013, 00:37:43
Yes. With air it is around $700 to ship to me per colour.  With 5 colours, it will be 3500$. I haven't received a better estimate for sea shipping yet.

So depending on the number of people ordered at the end, the cheaper the spread will be.

I will be supplementing the cost of shipping as well, up to $2000. 

I can't give any final numbers yet as I don't know the duties I will have to pay..

Yeah because the box will weigh about 0.6 lb (11.5x9x6.5 box) or more depending on your order.

8 sets will be 1.96 lb (888g)

how many sets can a 11.5x9x6.5 box fit?

I don't have that many sets to fill it to actually know, but I'm guessing 8 max?

(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/05/24/4abevamu.jpg)

Just as an example.

EDIT: actually I think it can fit 12 sets. The 2 bags on the top left nearly represents a 104 key set.

o no !!!
that is meaning:

8 sets + packing material = 1.96 + 0.6 = 2.56 lb, that shipping cost will be about USD $23 for international
7 sets + packing material = 1.715 + 0.6=2.35 lb, still over 2.2 lb, shipping cost will be USD $23 always.

6 sets + packing material = 1.47 + 0.6 = 2.07 lb, under 2.2 lb, the shipping cost will be down to USD #20 only.

elton5354: Are you sure that all 104 DS keycaps are being sold for just $8 US ??

So far all the pics, even on the other websites, only show 37-key sets and that price sounds reasonable for one of those but not a complete 104-key set and especially not a DS set.

It can be an option, but so far only 1 person requested them. I'm not sure if it is worth getting.

1.5 mod kits are exclusive to group buys. It's too bad that many manufacturers screw with the bottom row, resulting in the need for such kits.

Or you might search for old, used keycap sets (winkeyless mods are 1.5). You might even get a complete matching set.

As in, 200 keys total with legends to be printed on them, or 200 of eah type? i.e. would we just need 200 people to want a windows printed on a keycap, or would we need 200 people to order windows legend printed on black or 200 people with menu key on blue? At this stage I doubt that we're going to get 200 orders of people wanting a windows logo on the same colour key...

question about shipping: if every set is 4oz and there is a minimum of 2 sets, and the cheapest shipping is for under a lbs - then with packing material that would put it over a lbs yes?

There are 16 ounces in a pound.  2 sets = approx. 8 oz, and unless some super heavy duty cardboard is used for boxes, I doubt that package material would total another 8 oz.  Would be up to what sort of boxes / envelopes will be used.  We could even do with padded envelopes and a lot of bubble wrap if space bars were excluded.

Just about half way there for reds, with blues not that far behind.

Need moar yellow orders though!!!  I want to compare this yellow with all the others I have.

Blacks are surprisingly strong, but trailing.

And what's all this about shipping cost?  $20 might seem a lot compared to $8 for a single set or keycaps, but would you be worrying so much about postage if you were buying a $95 set of something else?

Just imagine the look on your face when a huge box FULL of keycaps arrives :D ;D :p

Typically you don't pay until the order process is complete. There will be a deadline when the ordering process will be closed and then PayPal invoices will go out and you'll pay at that time.  It looks something like this...

1. Orders Submitted
2. Ordering Closed
3. Invoices Sent
4. Payment Deadline
5. Mass Order Submitted
6. Key Caps Produced
7. Key Caps Shipped to GB Organizer
8. GB Organizer Sorts Key Caps

Seems to me like the shipping charge from China->Toronto is pretty minimal per set. $3500+fees for 2500 sets if we hit MOQ for each colour is $1.40/set plus share of import fees. Shipping by sea will save a bit, but are people so thrown off by <$2/set that they would rather wait a month?

I'll be ordering one of each, and would gladly not have to wait an extra month.

I think time is a factor here, because there are so many its going to take weeks to sort; therefore you probably should do sea postage.

Finally got a chance to read through this thread. I ordered 5 sets, 1 of each color. Elton, do you realize if we hit MOQ for all colors, you're basically dealing with a quarter million caps? That's enough to swim in them.

"Swimming in keycaps" this would be awesome.

Well, here's a conundrum. What happens as each color reaches 500? Do you order 5 orders of one color a piece or 1 order of five colors at once. Just food for thought. :)

Confused... Do you mean whether 500 is a set quantity beyond which any extras are complicated for each color?  Unsure of the meaning of your question.
What I'm saying is that each color doesn't seem that it will reach 500 sets at the same time, therefore, are we waiting for each color to reach 500 sets before we place an order OR are we placing an order for color X as soon as it reaches 500 sets->thus repeating that process 5 times.

@SmallFry: for people living near Toronto, your question might look like a conundrum, but I can assure you that from my side of the pond, with shipping starting at $13, this is no question at all.  ;)

For those who ordered more than one colour (most of us), sending each order off as it reaches 500 could mean 5 separate shipments to the GH members, and potentially 5 separate shipping charges.

Conversely waiting until all colours have reached 500 would increase, at least in the short term, the workload of the dedicated GB organiser.

So it might come down to more expensive shipping for everyone, or more work for the GB organiser.

Perhaps the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.

How is it less work for the groupbuy organizer if he has to ship every color of every order seperately? I'd expect him to go on strike after color 3 at latest.

Well, what I was thinking was that colors may seriously lag behind holding up a color that may have met the MOQ. I was just thinking it'd be less caps for you to package at once as well as faster return to the customer. Multiple shipping charges would suck though.

Yeah I think it's a better idea to wait for all the colours to hit MOQ then make 1 payment/shipment.  It's less work for the organizer also less shipping fee for the buyers.

Granted it might be a lengthy process but we still have time.  Be patient people we'll definitely get there  :D

The only colours I see that MIGHT be compatible are yellow, black, and red.

I have their sample kit, so I can do a direct comparison once the Tai Hao sets are delivered.

Doesn't look like any of them are exact matches, except for black.

The WASD blue is definitely much paler.  The other WASD ones also seem somewhat more pastel.

I may have to order more later if reaching MOQ's becomes a real issue. I'm actually amazed how many orders have already been posted, but this price is too good to let this GB fail.

Thanks for the support Lrawrl!

I don't really understand what's wrong with the space bar, can someone inform me?

A typical keyboard such as Coolermaster's Quick Fire Rapid, Filco Majestouch, etc uses a 6.25x size space bar. This set doesn't include that. It includes a size 7x space bar that doesn't fit a typical keyboard. The reason being is the supplier, Tai Hao doesn't have the mold to make it.

So what do I need to do is fill out the form and thats it or do I also comment here that I filled out a form. Also I noticed the thing about pickup in Toronto, how does that work? I live pretty close to the city and I'm almost always around.

Hey there, you just have to fill out the form and that's it. If you want to make changes to your order, just PM me or leave a message here.
Once all MOQ have been met, I'll send out invoices thru PayPal to the email addresses you provided.

Once I get the key caps, I'll arrange pick ups either downtown or a day at Pacific Mall in Markham.

Can you make sure to post about a week in advance before you decide which sets you might knock off? This might help push that set in sales, or would allow those of us watching on the sidelines for now make better decisions on which sets we wish to go for.
Title: Re: Tai Hao 104 Coloured DS Key Caps Set Group Buy - $8/set
Post by: elton5354 on Tue, 28 May 2013, 13:48:51
Sure, I can do that.  Though I suggest people that are waiting and watching the counts before submitting an order  to just submit an order.  That way the counts will go up and we have a better picture of the progress of this group buy.  If everyone's watching, the count will never go up and this group buy will never go through.

Is that not the case for most group buys?  Even after the ordering has been completed, some GBs seem to take forever and ever to reach their buyers and some are fast.  I don't see "shipping by this date" on any caps GBs.

That's because most if not all group buys don't need to meet a MOQ (SP's many tier MOQ). This one does and this one is the largest yet.
Title: Re: Tai Hao 104 Coloured DS Key Caps Set Group Buy - $8/set
Post by: esoomenona on Tue, 28 May 2013, 14:05:38
So your goal is for this to stay open until we reach a MOQ? If you do that, people will always be on the sidelines, watching. I think the best approach was what lysol did with the GMK buy. Put a deadline, and if MOQ can't be reached, then the GB isn't going through.

I've never been part of a group buy but I think we are at a good pace, 8 days in and we have one at 60%, one just overt 50% and 2 at 40%. Black doesn't seem too popular I guess cause people already have black keys which is too bad because I would LOVE, for all my boards/keys to be the same. If anything maybe people can add sets if we get really close with some.

Space bars: probably from WASD, if my plans to cut and glue a 7x space bar do not come to fruition.

Plastic: ABS (as are nearly all doubleshots).

I'm planning to cut and glue / cut and melt also, and likewise order from WASD if nothing else works.

With the white legends, a white space bar would be the best match.

Or, while you are waiting, grab a WASD sampler kit (http://www.wasdkeyboards.com/index.php/products/sampler-kit-1.html) (with or without switches) and you will see exactly what each of the colours looks like.  Hopefully someone will be able to post a comparison pic between WASD sampler and Tai Hao key caps when both are in the same place.

amazing price, I almost passed over the thread thinking the price was a typo!

I'm considering ordering one of each colour, but have a question please..

If I order one of each, will my postage be 20 dollars (for international to UK), or is there a possibility that coloured sets will be posted separately (and therefore be multiple shipping costs)? I have read the entire thread and a few posts led me to believe this may be the case so clarification would be much appreciated :)

It has to be either with 1.5x or 1.25x mods. Since majority have standard keyboards, we will have to go with 1.25.

As for the shipping, it's only one time and not multiple times if we reach all MOQs.

@thechemist I'll add to your order :)

Should be within that limit.  Nothing to obtrusive.  Use any photos you like, like the ones in OP or in the link or whatever you think is nice.

Post by: Photoelectric on Sat, 01 June 2013, 16:40:55
Even if the modifiers end up blank, and there are, say, 4 per keyboard in the 1x size, that'd be 500/4 = 125 sets ordered in each color with those modifiers included, at best.  Etc. Will there be 125+ people interested in adding nonstandard modifiers?  Likely not, based on the current numbers.  Would have to add up the total cost and split it among everyone, unless there do happen to be enough extra modifier orders from interested paries.  Just thinking out loud.

that's not bad at all because, I don't have a board with such layout but you never know what the future brings. For and additional $1 more per set you make your set more versatile. I would be in to pay $1 more per set for all the 5 sets I ordered, problem is we need 500 sets like this, maeby you can ask people if its ok for adding these modifiers for the small extra charge.

Hello everyone, please try to keep things nice and on-topic to group buys around here.

Additionally, my name calling preferences are "stinkbrain" and "meanieface". Feel free to add them to your repertoires. They need to see more use.

Yeah, I don't know if it's a good idea. We're more than half way thru the group buy, not sure if adding this would be good idea since many people don't even use winkeyless layout..

If people drop out, I don't know how long we can reach MOQ.  I'm trying to set a deadline for about a month.  Ivan's GB is not even comparable since his MOQ is only 20 and this is 2500...and he's still having a hard time reaching it.

Maybe it's time to make a pretty banner for his, heh :)

I think this one should work out, at least for the two top sets.  Red is getting closer every day.  But you should probably wait for over 500 sets per color, as I'm certain some people will go MIA / drop out when time will come to pay.

Yeah that works, though I can always cover some if people drop out/MIA during payment, but only so much. I already have 15 of each colour and 35 orders on black...

Those extra keys for $1 may cause you to lose some people but it will probably also cause more people to buy in.

I agree. I think only a very few people actually own and use winkeyless boards.

Sure, 1$ is not much but considering how cheap the actual set is, this means a price increase of 12,5%.

We should stick to what was originally planned. Otherwise a lot of people will drop out of the GB...

I have no winkeyless keyboard (at least, not with Cherry MX switches).

OTOH I have no problem paying an extra $1 per set if that will help entice a few others into the GB.

It is still only $9 per set - for a full set of keycaps with a couple of extras, albeit a useless (for me) space bar.

Is everyone adding on the cost of an extra space bar in a (maybe not so closely0 matching colour?  From WASD?  Unless we can get a GB discount on 6.25x space bars in matching colours ;)

As for adding 2 1.5x and 2 1x mods is an additional $1.

Maybe I'm just confused, but wouldn't a winkeyless / 7x spacebar layout require (4) 1.5x plus the (2) 1x caps?

Right, that's been an issue the whole time, but I was referring to the fact that the added switches for a dollar don't seem to actually offer a solution since we'd need 4 of the 1.5x but only 2 are listed right now.  Unless, of course, I'm wrong.   :D

Would an SP spacebar be taller or shorter?  I personally might not mind a height difference if the colors are a perfect match.  That's just me though, of course.

The spacebar will be lower from SP.

If you guys can match the colours of what SP have and the colours of these sets, then we can do something.

The prices are probably the same as other group buys with SP. The pricing is taken from the Retro GB.

5-9 $10.79   
10-14 $5.89   
15-24 $4.26   
25-49 $2.95   
50-74 $1.97   
75-99 $1.65   
100-149 $1.48   
150-199 $1.32   
200-249 $1.24   
250+ $1.19

This has to be a separate group buy though.

~1$ for a spacebar seems fine.

But I guess this would delay the GB by quite a bit since you had to get the real sets first and then get a SP color ring to find the matching colors.

Would be worth it though in my opinion :)

elton, do you have a set for each color with you available or even a sample of each color? If yes, do you have access to the SP color rings to get a match?

In anycase, what would be the fastest way to find a SP ring color match with the 4 colors available in this GB.

I can ask for a sample key cap for each colour, but I don't think I want to pay $50 with shipping for the colour rings just for one use..

If someone already have colour rings from SP and would like to do this, please post here or PM me.

I think it would be better to get hands on the sets and a color ring from SP in order to get a good match.  A delay for the spacebars is not a big deal to me at all.  Worth it to get a match rather than have it just off and be annoyed.

Post by: sonic_the_hedgehog on Tue, 04 June 2013, 04:43:51
Just my 2c on a couple of the things being discussed:

1) Space bars - I would personally prefer the profile to match than the colour. Especially if the black ones from WASD match. Otherwise typing will feel a bit odd... and some of us do actually like to use our keyboards for their intended purpose and not just look at them lol.

Would love a group buy for WASD black spacebars, not stressed about getting coloured ones at all.

2) Modifiers - Got no use whatsoever for 1x modifiers, but I agree $1 extra is not too bad... for one set. I've ordered 7 sets, so with that and shipping it will push the order over $100. Some of the other guys have ordered 10+ sets, and it will add up for those guys.

Still, will go along with the extra $1 if it means we reach MOQ.

3) Elton, a little while ago I seem to recall you mentioned you might contact Tai Hao and ask if we could drop the MOQ to 400? Any luck with that? Even if it's an extra $1 a set, I'd rather put the $1 towards reducing the MOQ since red is pretty much at 400, and blue's not too far behind.

Thanks for all your effort maintaining this thread and running this group buy too, regardless of whether or not we reach MOQ in the end, your work is really appreciated  :)

About the modifications, I would rather go with the original plan to get these quickly, and I figure I'd get some shiny metallic spacebar or something so even if it stands out it's still classy. It'd take this as it's the fastest route, and for the original key set it's probably easier to reach MOQ without creating much confusion with an extra dollar here another there till it's 15 instead of 8 and it's all delayed extra 2 months.

It's fine to ask around for different setups, however before a final configuration the logged order quantities are sort of wishful thinking so we won't see how many will actually buy it.

We have to wait until everyone pays up first as well.

Just my 2c on a couple of the things being discussed:

1) Space bars - I would personally prefer the profile to match than the colour. Especially if the black ones from WASD match. Otherwise typing will feel a bit odd... and some of us do actually like to use our keyboards for their intended purpose and not just look at them lol.

Would love a group buy for WASD black spacebars, not stressed about getting coloured ones at all.

2) Modifiers - Got no use whatsoever for 1x modifiers, but I agree $1 extra is not too bad... for one set. I've ordered 7 sets, so with that and shipping it will push the order over $100. Some of the other guys have ordered 10+ sets, and it will add up for those guys.

Still, will go along with the extra $1 if it means we reach MOQ.

3) Elton, a little while ago I seem to recall you mentioned you might contact Tai Hao and ask if we could drop the MOQ to 400? Any luck with that? Even if it's an extra $1 a set, I'd rather put the $1 towards reducing the MOQ since red is pretty much at 400, and blue's not too far behind.

Thanks for all your effort maintaining this thread and running this group buy too, regardless of whether or not we reach MOQ in the end, your work is really appreciated  :)

Hey Sonic and the rest

1) WASD already informed me that they won't be able to do a group discount on their space bars.

2) Yeah, that's the one thing I worry most. They are a low percentage of orders, but they add up the counts and equals to several orders. I'm still deciding.

3) I haven't asked yet.

Well I borrowed these today from tsangan for those that want SP space bars.

For those who want WASD space bars would need to buy it themselves.

Note sure that WASD will be even close:

Having the WASD Sampler Kit (http://www.wasdkeyboards.com/index.php/products/sampler-kit-1.html) (strongly recommended btw), I know the yellow is much paler than any other yellow keycaps I have.  The other colours are similarly paler.  WASD used to have a dark blue, but had problems printing onto it IIRC so switched to the pale blue.

So WASD space bars, although readily available in a range of colours at a competitive price, is unlikely to be a close match for the Tai Hao sets.

As long as at least one of those sets was yellow.

Otherwise you might have to throw restraint to the wind and order an extra set of yellow ;)

what other choices do we have? except for the fact i have a couple 6.25 OEM black spacebars from the boards i harvested, w00t

flip the SP profile spacebar and call it the new thing to do should go well with the OEM ;)

edit: speaking of black why the hell is it the least popular color?? you guys don't want to do two-color scheme? i can't imagine having the entire board in yellow or red. i would be hugely disappointed to see it fail to reach enough

I'd prefer pay with PayPal as I'll need to collect all the fund to pay the supplier. You just don't need to pay shipping if you pick up.

I believe most of them do who don't specifically say otherwise. If you don't know the mold/thickness then it's OEM. Each OEM could be slightly different although there seems to be one main mold that many manf. are using. I know my board the MEKA G1 Prime uses OEM keys that are not the same height as SP keys.

Regarding $1 price increase - That's fine with me, still HELLAZ cheap. (yeah I said hellaz like it's the 90's again)

Elton would have to confirm, but I would definitely believe that even a small business would want to turn these around for a quick buck, given the cost.  If I didn't know the GB rate, I would buy one of these sets on eBay at $40 in a heartbeat.

They're gonna have to stay price-competitive, though, considering there's gonna be a large number of people with 2-3 keyboards and 6-7 sets that are going to have plenty of inverse color schemes to trade / get rid of.

Seems like this group buy has slowed down.  How much time left till we hit the 1 month mark?

Do we have to do operation "Everyone-Double-Your-Order" soon?  :P

I thought some people said that the people from keypop or whatever would probably bump us up to the MOQ near the end, as they would turn around and sell them to people who missed the GB.  I could be mistaken.
Elton would have to confirm, but I would definitely believe that even a small business would want to turn these around for a quick buck, given the cost.  If I didn't know the GB rate, I would buy one of these sets on eBay at $40 in a heartbeat.

They're gonna have to stay price-competitive, though, considering there's gonna be a large number of people with 2-3 keyboards and 6-7 sets that are going to have plenty of inverse color schemes to trade / get rid of.

The biggest problem with ideas like this is the lack of 6.25x space bars, which somewhat limits the target audience for a reseller.

The numbers you see are the numbers with our order included.
10% of the order numbers are from us.
We might increase our order soon but we'd like to wait out until the price finalizes $8 vs $9, spacebar options, etc.

Yep.  Supplementing with aftermarket White 6.25 space bars could be a pretty reasonable solution, given the match to the legends and the bright tones.  I plan on ordering a couple White & a few Black 6.25 units from WASD for my own sets.

About to submit an order, but what is the profile for these keycaps?

Like the SP doubleshots were? shorter? or like the Filco stock keys?
Title: Re: Tai Hao 104 Coloured DS Key Caps Set Group Buy - $8/set
Post by: Hyde on Tue, 11 June 2013, 21:06:40
They're closer to OEM profile (Filco Stock Keys).  But yeah it kinda sucks with the situation with the spacebar, otherwise would've been perfect  :(

Though like people said, WASD Keyboard will be the best choice for profile match and SP will best for colour match.

I tried to express my excitement towards those keycaps as a blank version, e.g. not double shots, but in the same color, since it looks appealing to me, plus the price would allow me stock a lot of them without hurting my wallet like crazy.

I sure hope so that even the colors that wont reach MOQ they will be willing to produce them at slight price increase, wonder if the x7 space bar has the same placement for stabs as the Cherry one, if that's the case I will build the Trix with center stemmed capslock and 1.5-1-1.5, this way I can take advantage of all the sets from this GB. That's why we need the extra 1.5 , 1  modifiers especially since they are only at $1 extra cost.... $1 more in this GB takes you long ways!!!

ORDER COUNTER: 1749 sets total
•Red - 456
•Blue - 409
•Green - 298
•Yellow - 301
•Black - 285

The lack of a 6.25x space bar probably kills the GB for a lot of people.

Can KeyPop comment on what they are going to do with the sets?  Sell for 7x space bar keyboard only?  Or source 6.25x space bars somewhere?  I understand if you don't want to answer this :)

What about asking SP (or WASD) for a GB on space bars to match?  Even if it adds another $1 to each set, it might attract enough extra people to make up the numbers.

But the SP space bar is a different profile?

So WASD = same profile but different colour, SP = same (similar?) colour but different profile.

Is there any chance of getting these keycaps with red/green/yellow printed on white? It would be much easier to match using a white spacebar. I'm sure a good amount of people will also order at least one color printed one white just for the spacebar itself.

If there's anyone in the U.S. who wants to order some, but is scared off by shipping costs, I can add three or four to my order.  We can then split the shipping based on the number you order (assuming 7, it would be ~$2.50 per set, assuming 6, it would be $3 a set) and reshipping cost should be ~$2.50 (probably a little less) for one set in a bubble mailer or small box via USPS First Class. 

So, shipping cost should be $5-6 for a set and $7.50-8 for two.  If you're intested, shoot me off a PM and I'll add some to my order.  More established users and people with great heatware can do it on credit, but I'd prefer others to send me the money when invoicing takes place so I'm not paying for your caps out of pocket.

If we can get some shipping estimate for larger orders, I'd consider doing reshipping to 50 or so people in the U.S.  I don't imagine it would get all that much cheaper than the rates I mentioned though.

i'll sort of regret it yes but i seriously need to really be careful with my money now. i suddenly have a reduced household income and it's now conflicting with my keyboard hobby. technically i can't really afford even a GH60 case or more key caps of any kind but i will find a way...

I know these are cheap and i hate to do this but i have to save as much money as i can so that i can stay within a certain yearly "keyboard budget" and i want to order a case for my GH60 without breaking that budget. I also had plans for different key caps and i have to basically choose between those and these.

on another note i hope this succeeds!

Lets hope you don't regret this decision once everyone starts posting pics of their keys.

i'll sort of regret it yes but i seriously need to really be careful with my money now. i suddenly have a reduced household income and it's now conflicting with my keyboard hobby. technically i can't really afford even a GH60 case or more key caps of any kind but i will find a way...

One night with a stranger should pay for your case + keycaps.  :))

(a) you know the space bar is unlikely to fit your keyboard, and
(b) you enjoy the experience anyway and stick around for more :)

Yup, I see an upcoming group buy for green, yellow, red, and black spacebars from SP.  The blue doesn't look very close to me.  Maybe one of the blues in PBT would be closer?  I would not be against a PBT spacebar with abs caps.

I don't have PBT colour rings unfortunately.

I think the closest colours are

Yellow - YCF
Green - VV (a little bit darker) or VCJ (a tad lighter)
Red - RBV
Blue - if I have to choose, BFK would be closest match..

What is the expected price for these space bars?  Most of those in this GB will probably need to add that to the expected cost for the number of sets they have ordered of Tai Hao sets.

Also is there any decision on whether to add the $1 for the extra caps to this set?
Title: Re: Tai Hao 104 Coloured DS Key Caps Set Group Buy - $8/set
Post by: elton5354 on Thu, 20 June 2013, 00:20:39
Yeah, I think I will add the extra $1 since there have been orders regardless of it.  Unless they skipped that part and didn't read it.. I haven't had any messages regarding that as well..except a couple when I first mentioned it..

So I have to confirm with the colour guys..

Red - RBV
Green - VV
Yellow - YCF
Blue - BFK

Let me know.

If you still have the SP colour thingies, is it possible for you to put one or two of the sample Tai Hao key caps onto each respective SP colour thingies and take a photo, so we can see exactly how close the matches are?

Most likely.  If the addition was for something to help out a majority of people out there, like a more common space bar size, I'm sure people wouldn't object, but that set really is helping a minority of people.  Depending on how many sets people are ordering, that dollar could add up to half a set or a full set.  It also adds to the shipping weight which will drive up prices more than $1 since that's being distributed between the orders.
Title: Re: Tai Hao 104 Coloured DS Key Caps Set Group Buy - $8/set
Post by: rowdy on Thu, 20 June 2013, 00:53:34
Most people are probable ordering a maximum of 10 sets (e.g. 2 of each colour).

At an extra dollar per set that would take the total from $80 to $90 - which is still unbeatable value for 10 complete keycap sets (minus space bars).  If you add, say, another dollar for space bars, that would be a round $10 per set - still a considerable bargain.

As mentioned in the thread the colors probably won't match 100%.

I think a pure white spacebar that closely matches the white legends would look best. Is it set in stone that you will use SP spacebars? I mean the profile won't match and it might look weird. I know you mentioned before that WASD won't offer discounts, but I think their white spacebar would look good with all the sets and will have the same profile.

Yeah I can't really understand getting a "close" match with colour and no match at all with profile... I'd also prefer a couple of black WASD spacebars, because the profile at least will be correct and the black will be very close if not perfect.

Furthermore, I can't imagine a whole lot of folks decking out an entire keyboard with just one colour caps... I would've thought they'd be used for modifiers / numbers / arrows / only alpha / everything but alpha / etc, so in most cases it would be possible to get away with a black or white spacebar. But maybe that's just me...

I suspect a lot of people are planning to mix and match the Tai Hao sets.  I know I am!  Blue and yellow would go well together.  And yellow and green.  Red and yellow for a Macdonalds look?  Blue and green for that special Christmas theme?

In those situations if the space bar was about the same colour, it would look fine.

The WASD colours are also very pale compared to those in the Tai Hao pictures.

Even a slightly different colour space bar stands out, as does one of a different profile.

I guess it is up to people to decide whether they prefer about the same colour but a different profile, or a noticably different colour but about the same profile.

True, hadn't thought of that.  Obviously there's not going to be a GB for WASD spacebars but that's what I'll be doing lol.

And btw Elton, I'm happy to pay the extra $1 per set, it's going to push the order over $100 I think but still... bargain! And you never know when a few blank keys might come in handy  :)

Actually the extra $1 will be for 1.5x modifiers and 1x modifiers.

My bad. Point is, even for $1 extra for something I have no idea about, this is a great buy.

1.5x mods are for boards without Windows keys.

Yeah, I don't really want to do another GB...ok forget about the SP space bar then! :D

I'm just going to buy my spacebard afterwards on WASD, unlike some on here I really don't care if the color isn't a perfect match, I actually think it will look pretty cool.

Nothing to stop you from ordering another couple of sets of yellow, if you want ;)
Sorry to say,  but yellow is my least wanted,  since I'm afraid the legends will blend in too much,  but I went ahead and ordered two for the team!

Going to be $9 per set now for the extra 6 keys. So 110 key caps for $9.

I'm located downtown Toronto.  I am going to set a date and time for GTA members to pick up at Pacific Mall.

I imagine this will keep going for a little while to see if any colours other than red will meet MOQ.

EDIT:
Actually you can open one up at the age of 13 with your parents..

Okay lads, one more push for home.

Everyone that said they were waiting to see if the extra keys would be in or out for the extra dollar, they're in, so start placing orders.

Anyone who wants to be a ***** and not pay $1 extra...

You'll be getting 110 keycaps (or keyfaps as I originally typed lol) for $9. That's 8.18 (recurring) cents per keycap. CENTS PEOPLE.

Seriously, there probably isn't a better use of ~8.2 cents in existance. You cannot buy anything as useful and/or as cool as a doubleshot keycap for ~8.2 cents these days.

BUY MOAR!!!

We can't because these need the same 500 MOQ, so it's either in or out and I chose them to be in. They are blanks.

Come on, guys, let's step up these orders. It's nine freaking dollars a set. Isn't that just about the same price as the venti super macchiado latte cappuccino you buy at your favorite overpriced coffee joint every morning? Buy a bunch of sets--think of the customization possibilities for your current and future keyboards. And do not forget to go back and order that set of black that you neglected to order your first time through. You may think you can mix and match another color in with your existing black keys, but think about the font mismatches, people... Think. About. The. Fonts!

So many possibilities! And using the keyboard color chooser, I couldn't even make the Esc or arrow keys a different color.

But it must be made clear again that these sets won't come with blank 1.25 modifiers and a 6.25 spacebar.

But yes, they have a 7x space bar.

Also, it's a great point to mention that these mockups are not 100% accurate since we aren't getting the correct sized space bar. But it's mostly right.

It's probably because the green looks really cheap. You can see the stem and everything on the green keycaps.

WASD has some on eBay for only $19.99.  (Television has conditioned me to not be able to say that price without the prefix of 'only'.)  They'll match in material and profile to these.

WASD has some on eBay for only $19.99.  (Television has conditioned me to not be able to say that price without the prefix of 'only'.)  They'll match in material and profile to these.

 Forgot the link (http://www.ebay.com/itm/White-Cherry-MX-Blank-Keycaps-37-Set-Keyboard-Key-Caps-/121097417027?pt=PCA_Mice_Trackballs&hash=item1c31f7f143)

I have seen those but i would be missing lots of r4 1x1's and the 87 set on ebay is $40

I have many more but i would like to keep some for myself.  :p Hopefully all of these picturers will entice others to purchase sets they never thought of buying in the first place and new buyers to buy one of each.

But will the profiles match up between the two different sets of keycaps?

Apparently yes, as someone said earlier, but the colours will be different.

Or you can go SP which will have a (much) closer match for the colour, but the profile will be different.

Would it be correct to assume that this is only for a standard U.S. qwerty layout, hence not much use to someone who wants colemak letters and a U.K. number row, and would only be able to find a home for a couple of the other mod keys as it's for an ergodox?

Worth noting that with the extra included keys (now the price was changed to $9 to incorporate more keys), the two bottom rows will be fine on an ISO layout (as far as I'm aware?). Only things we'll be missing are #~ and proper legends for 2, 3 and @.

@ Elton

Looking at the real life pics you posted of the greens they look kinda "cheap" (not fully green, seems like white shines trough)

The other colors look better in that regard  (at least on the pics). Can you confirm this?

Yes, the green looks a bit "washed out".  Looks like the top part is very thin and is showing small spots of the white shots underneath.

Hey Elton, can you switch my green set for a yellow set? Thanks!

It's a really nice yellow.
Why not get both? It's only 9 bucks. I need to encourage the purchase of all colors equally, so I can get my full order!

I'd like to order more sets but shipping is the limiting factor here :( Plus, my initial reservation about yellow was the legibility of white-on-yellow, which seems not to be an issue at all.

Seems like orders have slowed down quite a bit.

Green, Black and Yellow seem to stagnate at ~320 orders. Maybe we should drop one of them by voting.

I have ordered 7 sets. If one color is dropped I'd fill up my order to 7 sets again with one of the "unpopular" colors to help them reach MOQ.

Before dropping a colour I would perhaps ask Tai Hao if they can reduce the MOQ on the other colours, and let them know we'll do 500 on some colours as it is currently anyway. I reckon we could push for 400 orders on the others, that's still worth it for Tai Hao to manufacture.

EDIT: If that fails, I would also be happy to fill up my order of 7 sets if we drop a colour. Unless it is black which is dropped as I really only want coloured modifiers / highlights with the other colours. If black is dropped I'd have to bail on the whole GB which would be a shame.

No idea within Europe, I'm just going to WASD for off color spacebars of the same profile.  Signature Plastics have similar colors but different profile.

I think most people are either getting one from WASD (which would match profile, but not colour) or from SP (which would be a much closer match for colour, but have a (slightly) different profile.  Your choice if you prefer profile or colour match :)

There might even be a GB for space bars, but I think someone else will need to organise that.

Elton please help ...  it seems that I screwed up my order. What I really wanted was 1 of every color, not 2 yellow and 0 black. Could you change that for me? Thanks a lot!

Welcome to Geekhack!

If you mean are you the first of many new members who joined primarily to partake of this GB, then no, you are not.

If you mean this will be the first of many GBs for you, then yes, it will, to the detriment of your wallet ;)

Ordering more makes perfect sense. They're the cheapest you can get and then you could build your own keyboards and sell them as real keyboards, not DIY sets or barebones;)

I like the idea of one of each color as a minimum order.  You'd get five double shot sets of caps for much less than the typical one set group buys. If you don't want a particular color,  sell or trade it!

I think we would lose a lot of the smaller orders because of the steep shipping costs for 5 and more sets. And it's a bit late for something like that imo, too.

Well,  we're certain to lose a lot of orders if favorite colors don't make MOQ. I may cancel if black doesn't make it,  because I primarily want a black/blue combo.

It's the lack of a source for matching 6.25x spacebars that's preventing me from ordering more.

Is there a comparison of the signature plastics profile and the Cherry OEM profile I can look at? A side by side of the spacebars would be even better.

Signature Plastics and Cherry OEM are about the same. The Tai Hao keycaps are Filco/Ducky/Cooler Master/WASD Keyboards/most keyboards OEM profile.

Someone posted a link to SP's website for ordering singles. I'm on my phone, so searching for it is a pain. If you can find it, go for it!

I think it's limited in colours though.

This isnt a purchase it is a Group Buy, everyone orders, when you reach MOQ (500 per colour) all the invoices are sent out, then paid. Then the keys are ordered, sorted, and shipped out to you.

Post by: rowdy on Sun, 30 June 2013, 22:59:49
There was some talk as to whether to wait for all sets to reach 500 and send one big order off, or to send each colour off if and as it reaches 500.

I think consensus was to wait for all colours to reach 500, otherwise those that ordered more than one colour would have to pay separate shipping for each colour.

Given the very low cost of these sets, separate shipping would probably cost more than the keycaps for a lot of people.

Man, both of my colors are just a few past 500, it's going to be months until keycaps ship!

Hence why we've been talking about contacing Tai Hao to reduce MOQ on the other colours. But even so, waiting months is okay when they're so damn cheap, it's not like you're out of pocket for them in the meantime anyway.

And just because your two colours have reached MOQ doesn't mean the rest of ours have, and personally I don't want to pay 5 lots of $20 international shipping on my 5 different colours. That's $100 of shipping for ~$80 of keycaps lol.

This has to be decided once we decide to establish a deadline. This is up to the OP of course.

Right now we are assuming all colors will reach MOQ over time, so just order more sets if you want this GB to succeed :)

by the look of things, invoicing should start by the end of July/early august?

invoicing done by the end of august - production done by end of sep, ship to the US for distribution and start shipping around end of October?

would this be a more or less accurate forecasting?

Please add a green set to my order (total should be 1 black, 1 blue, 1 red, and 1 green).

If some of them don't make MOQ or people back out, I think you should consider a "tax" to bring the order up to 400.  Say 380 people want black, add 20 orders to make 400 which is $180.  Each person would only owe 180/380 = ~$0.48 extra to meet the minimum.  I'd much rather pay an extra 50 cents than not get a full set of caps.  Just something to think about.  The extra sets could be sold and the proceeds donated to geekhack.

If we get to MOQ and a little more soon, I guess near the end of July I can start invoicing.  I'm not sure how long the production is yet.  I'll get an answer tonight. 

I'll give people 2 weeks to  pay.  Hopefully that would be enough time..

Please add a green set to my order (total should be 1 black, 1 blue, 1 red, and 1 green).

I have a weird update. Tai Hao rep insist it's 107 keys + 6 keys.

She refers me to the picture with the black set in OP. I counted several times to be 104 keys. Well we're going to get an extra 3 mystery keys...

Although our email's subject and our discussion was for 104, now she mentions it's 107 keys.

Proxy is done by you guys. That's why there some large orders here and there.  Although I am in contact with someone in Singapore to help ship Asia's orders (I am very grateful for his offer).  I'm shipping everyone else's orders.

Hi Elton!

Thank you for the quick reply!

So my total cost would be $36 for the 4 sets + $20 dollars for the international shipping so that's $56 dollars so far now add $0.30 for the fixed fee from Paypal plus the 3.9% = $58.4957c. Apologies but I'm still missing the other shipping fee you mentioned, how much do I need to add (sorry, need to ask this) and why?

I know this is still too early, the GB hasn't even closed and there is time left until we receive the keycaps but every since this GB opened I always thought that expanding this set via SP matching colors would be something nice since their colors match almost if not exactly as the Tai hao.

- Matching color 6.25 space bar, down fall DCS has drop to it but we've used it with cherry caps, and not sure about the DSA since never had any DSA space bar at hand.

- Off center stemmed stepped capslock blank for Cherry and Korean boards

-  ISO blank, 1.50 blank shift and one x1 key to complete the kit.

- 1.75 blank shift

I wrote blank for all modifiers because not sure how it will match the Tai Hao font

I am beyond hype right now for my two sets of keys for US delivery eventually.

How will I go about payment for these keys through PayPal? I do not store money on my account but my credit card is attached to the account so I assume that I can do the whole "send money via email" method on PayPal. Is that how payment will work?

You don't have to have any money in your Paypal account as long as it is linked to your Checking Account or Credit Card. I've never had money in my Paypal account but I use it to buy stuff pretty often.

Elton,  you might want to update the title and OP with "orders closing on July 27" or something similar. It's clear we'll be at MOQ soon,  so that would hopefully let any casual visitors  see that we're almost there.

So excited!

I'm going to close it on July 12. I need to finalize the shipping costs from the supplier.

For large orders, I'm going to send invoices without your shipping fee.  When the key caps arrives, I'll get a better idea  on how much it would cost and how big of a box I need..

Oh and the production will take 6 weeks.

Lol that what I was referring to... OP = original post.

I thought after KeyPop's order (big thank you by the way) that we'd met MOQ on black but either that hasn't been reflected in those figures or I misunderstood what had happened...

By the way, I've posted this up on OCAU (Overclockers Australia Forums) under the mechanical keyboard thread so hopefully we'll get a couple more orders from that :)

I'll close the order form. A GB is better with deadlines. Hopefully after July 12, there would be a 5% overhead on the colours.

Reduced my order because it dawned for me that even though each set only cost 9$, it's a waste to order an excessive amount of caps no matter how low the price might be.

He already outlined in the first post what he estimated the costs to be, right from the start. It was the first thing I had to consider for the number of sets that I wanted.

As for the comment about paying for the people ordering more, where is your logic that your paying for their shipments? The shipping is divided equally per set, not per user. If it wasn't for them, we wouldn't even be close to hitting these MOQs.

It's in the OP, the shipping estimates..

Or you can say, because of those few getting their 101 sets, we managed to get to the MOQ so fast..

EDIT:
If you're talking about shipping fee to me from the supplier,  I don't have that number yet. That's why it's blank. I'll get it by next week.

No off-centered stemmed caps lock is offered, unfortunately..

None of the colours will match perfectly as discussed before, but there might be a person that is going to do an IC on that..

Actually I think only red match really close to RBV, but still the profile difference is still there.

No off-centered stemmed caps lock is offered, unfortunately..

None of the colours will match perfectly as discussed before, but there might be a person that is going to do an IC on that..

Actually I think only red match really close to RBV, but still the profile difference is still there.

Okay thanks guys

Or, if profile is more important then colour matching, you could go for a black or white WASD space bar (white would better match the Tai Hao white legends).

Lots people have WASD Sampler Kit? Including myself. After we got the keycaps, we can take some photos showing color matching. It might helps :)

Hi there,

I've been lurking for awhile but this looks so awesome I have to get some.

I placed an order in haste about an hour ago but now I find I'll be needing extra sets.

What's the most convenient way to add on to my order? Should I just state it here or post another order? :)

All invoices we be send out via PayPal once this GB is closed (July 12th). Considering there are so many orders it will take a couple of days until everyone will get one.

The caps are ABS double shot and they are OEM profile, so they are the same as the stock caps on a Black Widow for example. It's all in the first post :D

Ok, I'm going to cut this short and end the GB here and now.

I have good man marcglw from Singapore to help ship Asia's orders, so the shipping cost for you guys will change while I update things these couple days.  I'll start invoicing on Sunday night after I get the shipping cost from Tai Hao.

Don't know if you guys had the Toyota ads on TV where at the end a car is parked in a scenic spot, and the driver jumps into the air with arms raised with joy and the jingle reaches a crescendo with the lyrics "Oh what a feeling!  Toyota!!".

Immediately made me think of "Oh what a feeling!  Tai Hao!!"

Elton said he was going down in order so I checked your position on the list and you are on row 212. Elton, are you generating these invoices manually?!?!?!? If so, that must be tedious...  :'(

I am from Canada so I am much higher on the list and have received my invoice and and paid for my first ever GB!!!!! There goes my cherry!

If you check the order confirmation link on the first post, it takes you to a spreadsheet that shows the totals, there's 418 green listed so it looks like its safely over the 400 mark.

What about shipping by weight?  I stopped doing flat rate shipping for all but the heaviest stuff since it would end up being about twice as expensive.

I was just replying to Thechemist post with USPS Flat Rate International shipping prices that they get with free boxes.  First class mail is cheaper of course with 4LB weight limit and no free box lol.

USPS International Small Flat Rate Box - $20 - 4LB max. - fits 1, maybe 2 sets
Medium Flat Rate Box - $41 - 20LB max - fits maybe 10 sets?         
Large - $54 - 20LB max -  ??? Sets                     


Okay, I'm going to start invoicing international orders (except Asia's orders) in about half hour..

Wait till folks start getting massive bags of caps, it's all too easy to order two, three, four sets of something at this price.  I'm sure there will be job lots for sale in Classifieds once they arrive.

I've got at least five sets on order I have no clue what I'm going to do with...   :rolleyes:

Generally group buys run for several months.

This one, for example, elton has to collect all the money (let's hope everyone pays on time), send the money to Tai Hao, Tai Hao have to get into gear and actually make, sort and send the keycaps.

Then elton has to separate them into each order, and then post each order to either the proxy or the individual.

This could take another couple of months before all sets are distributed, especially considering the huge volume that was ordered.

Occasionally a "turbo" GB takes place, where orders are taken and payment collected within a couple of weeks.  But for the most part, expect a GB to run for at least 2 - 3 months.

Sweet, payment deadline is 3 days before my pay check. Nicely timed. Guess I have to bail.

You only get paid once a month?

Yes, on the 1st, but banks take their time, so the money usually arrives around the 3rd.

Just cancel my order. I don't want to make anyone wait. Let me know if I have to do anything besides posting here.

Seems like you just want to cancel from the start and the paycheck is just a convenience excuse.  If you want to cancel from the start, just say so.  No hurt feelings.

If I wanted to cancel I wouldn't need an excuse. I would just tell you. Don't mind me going over the deadline? Fine with me, because I actually want the caps. Don't blame me if my bank needs a few extra days, though. They have made a habit of being slower than molasses.

I think if the people running the GB are enthusiastic with great communication and prompt response also organized, then people would appreaciate the hard work. so payment and things would be much more efficient.

Elton fits those bills, I believe that is why this is going smooth.. I personally have total confident this GB will be a great success!  :-*

But I have a suggestion. What if I invoice you all first and once he gives me the cost of him shipping to you guys and it's less than my shipping cost, I refund each of you the difference?  Let me know.

A gentle little reminder to everyone asking to rush and pay:

I asked to cancel my order because my pay check won't arrive until a few days after the deadline and I didn't think I should make anyone wait for their caps. OP suggested I was making **** up and trying to weasel out via cheap excuses, so I guess everyone's going to have to wait for my bank to process my pay check.

Well, you can pay after the deadline.  No need to be dramatic..:)

I will pay Tai Hao regardless of late payments if I get enough orders in on time.  Just that if people don't pay, they don't get the caps! :)

I haven't asked anyone to pay quickly, but I think I can comment on it.  We're just excited!  I'm sure no harm is meant, and you're right we all have our own situations where we perhaps cannot pay right away, but please don't take it personally.  I realize that it might seem stressful that people want you to pay quickly and you cannot, but that's not the intent at all.  Again, excitement is in the air!  :)

The Schedule:
  • Invoicing: Deadline will be July 31st, 2013 (May extend few more days for people with monthly paycheques)
  • Payment Submission to Tai Hao: 1-3 days after payment deadline after I sort everything out
  • Production Lead Time: Around 6 weeks for them to produce and pack each set into individual bags
  • Shipping to me: After production, shipping to me will take around 4 weeks. Some may get it sooner because I'm sending some directly to some people with large orders (>100 sets)
  • Shipping to you: After I received the key cap sets, I will start packing and shipping them out. May take a week to ship them all.
  • So all in all, I'll get the caps maybe end of September or early October.

As long I get mine by Halloween, I'm good.   :cool:

so that means I have until october to think about which boards would these caps go to....

or rather have until october to think about where to store these caps, doesnt seem like ill have any boards to use these with... with other GB caps also incoming.

or another option, i have until october to think about who to sell these caps to! :eek:

Better think north, think Oktoberfest. You know they have those huge beer tankards. Excellent for keycaps storage.

Lol nice idea  :D

Seriously, Elton, do you actually own enough real estate to temporarily warehouse all those thousands of keycap sets you are buying for us?

Not intending to pour cold water or sound disrespectful, but if you haven't thought through the logistics, now is the time to do so. You have hundreds of people to handle and hundreds of different shipping labels and shipping formats. Even if you only need 100 boxes and can ship the rest in envelopes, 100 boxes take up a heck lot of space.


Not to scare you... but elton this group buy is for 283,360 key caps, holy sheeeeeeeeet.

You should take a photo of the box this comes in. Or take a picture of yourself swimming in key-caps. That would be an awesome photoe

Box? You mean fleet of trucks that deliver it!

And we have already passed the "swimming in key caps" phase - no thanks! ;)

I'm pretty sure I have enough space to store these at my house.  Luckily, not all are coming my way as I have few hundred sets going directly to others.  If I don't, I have other places to store them until I need them though it is a bit of a hassle.

I'm shipping all these in boxes, so no envelopes.  I'm not going to box everything at once then ship it.  The way I'm doing it is pack a certain number of orders and ship them out, one batch at a time so I don't have packed boxes laying around.  Even if I packed 100 at a time, I'm not able to fit them in the car anyways.

Oh, it's only about two cubic metres of keycaps (60 cubic feet) if my rough estimation is right ...  ;D

Weight: roughly 300 kg (660 pounds) ...  ^-^

I want to be transparent as much as I can with the time frame of getting these key caps.  I don't want anyone to screw me with PayPal and do a chargeback or whatever because they feel it's taking too long (it happens).  So if some people that never reads the OP, here it is.  I may post this in every last page.  These are just estimates, I'll update as much as possible as I get them.

The Schedule:
  • Invoicing: Deadline will be July 31st, 2013 (May extend few more days for people with monthly paycheques)
  • Payment Submission to Tai Hao: 1-3 days after payment deadline after I sort everything out
  • Production Lead Time: Around 6 weeks for them to produce and pack each set into individual bags
  • Shipping to me: After production, shipping to me will take around 4 weeks. Some may get it sooner because I'm sending some directly to some people with large orders (>100 sets)
  • Shipping to you: After I received the key cap sets, I will start packing and shipping them out. May take a week to ship them all.
  • So all in all, I'll get the caps maybe end of September or early October.

i'm waiting for the update, as someone who just got into gb, doing a calculation on this is quite a shock.---not  only is the payment delayed again and again till maybe August, the production time+shipping time ends up being more than 3 months by themselves, far from my wildest imagination

i came back to this thread expecting to find no time frame info, so i should have been calm when i do see some, but I am not--I'm used to 2 day shipping at Amazon and the most I had to wait was a month and a week from a seller in Hongkong, and he refunded me after the shipment never showed up, Amazon rule. Cultural shock, but still shocked.

and by the way, are you sure your calculation is right at the end? it's at least october, the 6 month production time already drags you to mid september, then the shipping to you drags you to end of October..everyone is getting it from you Mid November that was my calculation

My first deadline is July 31st and still is.  I said I may allow late payments few days after August for people with monthly pay cheques.  I will go ahead and place the order with Tai Hao either way.

Yeah, my calculation is a little optimistic.

NOTE: I will place an order with Tai Hao after deadline as long as I have enough orders paid.

Most group buys do take some time, usually 2 - 3 months.

If it is just you buying something online from a retailer that has items in stock, then yes, 2 day delivery end to end transaction all done thank you very much.

But a GB has to coordinate so many different people in different time zones and cater for everyone's ordering requirements, order separately with the manufacturer, ship here, ship there, sorting and everything else.

The quickest GB would take about a month.

This is already one of the quickest GB there is, considering the amount of orders and so many people Elton needed to issue invoices to and the time everyone pays... which I think elton has done an absolutely wonderful job here, def one of the people I would go down on my knees and propose, but i wont.  :p

plus I dont get what is not highly special stuff about these caps, double shots are double shots, whatever color, they are still double shots so still highly special on my book.

Yeah, really when you think about it, it's pretty amazing how these groupbuys work here.  It's not like buying a product off Amazon because we don't just buy off-the-shelf stuff in bulk.  We're essentially acting like most of the brands you buy from.

The product is specified and the manufacturing is sourced.  We do our market research by gathering orders, and establishing pricing levels. Then we gather the capital, and place the order.  The products are manufactured and shipped to the organizers who then distribute them often times to a 2nd level of distribution.

All things considered, it's pretty amazing for a company to bring a new product to market for someone to buy on Amazon in 6 months, and they don't do this on the side. 

So don't feel irritated.  Feel proud to be a part of it!

I mean it usually takes a company more than 6 months to bring a new product to market (from an idea to sitting on shelves).  Elton's on track to beat that, and this isn't his job.  He's organizing this for free on the side.   In fact, some times the folks running GB's take a bit of a loss due to people flaking out, unexpected costs they have to absorb, etc.  And they have jobs and families and lives and stuff.  It's easy to forget that when you're paying money for something, but he's really doing a solid job here.  And he's very open and responsive.

But when this is all done, you'll have some cool stuff (for cheap) that you can't buy off the shelf anywhere and you contributed to make it happen.  That's pretty awesome.

Elton already closed ordering on July 12, and already turned someone down earlier. IMO, it's not necessary for him to personally respond to each new person asking to place an order.
To anyone wanting to get in late, wait until Elton delivers orders, and there will be plenty for sale everywhere.

Better to stay realistic here und don't get expectations too high. Keypop.net bought 45 of each color. I don't see where they could possibly source spacebars that match color and profile for numbers in this ballpark. Matching colors will be very hard anyways.

I expect a "working on something" to mean a white and maybe a black spacebar in a fitting profile.

Thank you.  I hope the sets won't go under the MOQ after the deadline though!

You might just squeeze in if someone else cancels - there is some small concern whether some colours will drop below MOQ if a few people do not pay on time.

Maybe, just maybe, Elton will let someone else step up and take their orders if you are prepared to pay there and then.

Otherwise yes, it is likely that a vendor or two might have a few sets for sale, and you might even see them coming up in Classifieds.

thanks to all. I hope there will be a group sale again then I will give up my order early enough.

So long must my old Filco keycaps still standing.     ;D

how long have u used them? which model?

i've two brand new FILCO Majestouch-2 full size with german layout. after one week the keycaps goes shiny. after 8 weeks the lettering the right alt key button broke slowly ( I use the key extremely often while playing DayZ).

I am very disappointed by the quality of the Filco keycaps. On the one hand the keybaord is of very hight qualitty on the other Hand
the keycaps are bull**** (they are not for everyday use). so I have the alt / ctrl keys replaced with new ones, double shots from elitekeyboards.com.

I'm still getting some messages from people asking why I'm not shipping their key caps yet..mainly from people who doesn't speak/read English well..

Quote
The Schedule:
  • Invoicing: Deadline will be July 31st, 2013 (May extend few more days for people with monthly paycheques)
  • Payment Submission to Tai Hao: 1-3 days after payment deadline after I sort everything out
  • Production Lead Time: Around 6 weeks for them to produce and pack each set into individual bags
  • Shipping to me: After production, shipping to me will take around 4 weeks. Some may get it sooner because I'm sending some directly to some people with large orders (>100 sets)
  • Shipping to you: After I received the key cap sets, I will start packing and shipping them out. May take a week to ship them all.
  • So all in all, I'll get the caps maybe end of September or early October.

So please understand this..

I ha ordered:
2x red
2x yellow
1x green
1x blue
1x black

If anyone wants, they are welcome to take over my order.

Is it worth listing, maybe in the first post or two, the quantities of each colour that people have dropped out from buying?

So that anyone who arrives late to order can still grab someone else's commitment?

Or would that be too much of an organisational headache?

Right now, I'm just highlighting those who have cancelled their order and then erasing their orders so I don't mix them up with the current ones.

I guess from now on I can do that, but there is only 1 day left..so no point really unless there are a mass of late comers coming by the last day of payment..

Couple questions:
    1. As of now, only Red / Blue are going to get produced? Since those look to be the only ones that met MOQ.
    2. Are 7x space bars the only option?  I tried digging through the thread, but can't find any mention of any other sizes.

1. All colors will be produced. Those numbers are not up to date. If some people don't pay, their orders will be covered by keypop.net.

2. Yes, 7x space bars are the only option in this GB. You could always get a 6.25x spacebar from wasdkeyboards.com. These will match the profile.

Correct. I never said anything else ;)

Only black will match. Personally I'll use white WASD spacebars because all the legends are white - I think this will look decent enough.

Agreed.
To clarify: given the assortment at WASD, I'd pick white because the colors will be off-matches and will look weird.  However, I'd ultimately prefer an "exact" color match from SP with a wrong profile spacebar.  I should have elaborated in my post, thanks for pointing out the SP option for any newcomers.  :)

If you like it then it's not weird.  :)  I prefer the lighter "accent" of the white, so I'll be doing that over black (plus, the legends are white, so there's something to match the spacebar to).  What you do is totally up to you though.

I'll start composing a new spreadsheet for those who paid and see how many sets are paid for each colour.  Green is looking bleek though..

Unless someone knows a code for Excel to easily organize this on the same sheet..

EDIT:

Well I did some sorting and after I get the payment from this huge order (he collected the funds already, just need to send me it), few colours will be under MOQ.  There is still a day left to pay on my time (Toronto EST), so hopefully it gets there.

As of now,

Yellow - 395
Red - 530
Black - 405
Green - 361
Blue - 496

That sounds a lot better than having "my friend" Tony* "collect some debts" all friendly-like with a Louisville Slugger, or making Tai Hao an offer they "can't refuse".

*disclaimer: I have no friend named Tony, nor a baseball bat.  I just liked the idea of combining the Prohibition-era mob with keycaps.  Speaking of which I'd love a Tommy Gun keycap....

didn't keypop vendor guy said he will cover orders that will be canceled?

They/he did, but I don't think they want to cover at least 258 sets (from one person). At least 129 of those are black. It will be easier to find spacebars for the black sets though.

Great!

We now need only 2 yellows and 32 greens to get the ball rolling.

I'd imagine it will take less than the estimated 6 weeks to produce since that estimate was for over 2500 sets.

We only need 30 sets of green to reach MOQ.  That's what I'm doing actually.

I've talked to KeyPop already and he generously agreed to add the rest of the green MOQ to his order by the end of today if it doesn't reach it.  After that I'm closing it and cancelling all invoices.

It's not bad at all.  69/424 didn't pay. That's about 16% unpaid orders.

Paypal sucks! We all know that but it sucks even more if you don't play by their rules! Orders have to be flagged as delivered. If you fail in that it may work for a few dozens but as soon as you reach hundreds of transactions they will likely close your account. Don't blame Paypal, blame yourself.

Just copying that here from matt3o's thread, maybe it's worth considering.

I have to submit each transaction as shipped/delivered?  I'm not sure why I can't do that.  I used to be able to pay and print shipping labels off PayPal, but now it's not even an option.  I spoke to a PayPal Rep regarding this, but she doesn't even know why!  :confused:

Also, I already spoke to PayPal on the phone multiple times regarding the huge amount of money coming into my account.  Right now my account is restricted only to a point where I can't close my account, but all I have to do is show them an invoice from Tai Hao and the restriction will be reversed.

@elton: I have no experience with this, sorry. I just saw this and remembered that 7bit also immediately flags invoices as "shipped" when he gets payments. You'd have to ask Matteo or 7bit or other GB veterans.

PayPal is beyond stupid. I've stopped using it a long time ago for my freelancing business, after they made me lose a lot of money over a customer who claimed that I didn't deliver and ordered to have his payment cancelled. PayPal never accepted anything I presented as proof.

I know there won't be any updates until production is finished, but as soon as I get my set of samples from them, I'll scope what size boxes I'll need at this packaging company.  I'll need 328 boxes :eek:.  Maybe I'll order them and store them in my garage.  Or should I order them when the keys get here?

I'm thinking of buying 2 common sizes.
1st size to fit 1-3 sets - smaller box to keep the weight to a minimal since it has to be under 1LB
2nd size to fit 4-11 sets
and the 4 outlier orders will have their own custom box.

Also a 20 cubic ft of peanuts for protection.

Yeah definitely.  That was what I was thinking as well.  It was either after I get the samples or few weeks before the shipment arrives.  I worded it wrong when I said I'll order them when the keys arrived.  :-X

Multiple I think.

Yeah, it comes up from time to time.

Consensus is that Elton will NOT be swimming in the keycaps.

And in fact they will be pre-sorted at the factory (and probably provided in set bags or something), which would make swimming in them even more difficult.

But it helps to break the monotony of waiting for them :)

I know there won't be any updates until production is finished, but as soon as I get my set of samples from them, I'll scope what size boxes I'll need at this packaging company.  I'll need 328 boxes :eek:.  Maybe I'll order them and store them in my garage.  Or should I order them when the keys get here?

I'm thinking of buying 2 common sizes.
1st size to fit 1-3 sets - smaller box to keep the weight to a minimal since it has to be under 1LB
2nd size to fit 4-11 sets
and the 4 outlier orders will have their own custom box.

Also a 20 cubic ft of peanuts for protection.

Have you thought about bubble mailers for the small orders and kraft paper instead of peanuts? Also,  where are you sourcing these supplies?

I am curious about the logistics of these large group buys and working for a small company that ships stuff, we take shipping discounts wherever we can get.

I have considered it  for orders with 1 set, but given there are only 8 orders with that amount, there is no point really cause the place I'm buying it requires large orders.  For simplicity sake, I'm only going to 1 location.

The place I'm getting the supplies are here http://www.coltpak.com/index.php

If you know a cheaper place, let me know!

EDIT:

Actually I found a cheaper place and they sell kraft paper too.  I think that is a better choice than peanuts.

They're cheaper by 50%! They're a bit further, but that's okay.

Try ULine. depending on the sizes you want, their prices can be better relative to GM-Packaging.

http://www.uline.ca/Promotion/MonthlySpecial.aspx?pagename=sp000_Best_Selling_Boxes.htm

Our company always gets packaging materials delivered (costs $$$) so I don't know if they have a brick-and-mortar storefront. Their contact page say they are located in Brampton...

Have you also considered signing a Canada Post commercial account? You save a little bit more and you can use their online order form entry to print shipping labels.

Our company is on volume-based contract which requires us to ship +750 shipments a year (also allows us to use their shipping software) but even if you are not on the same contract, you still get to save about 2% per order... which does add up for +300 orders.

Check out the info at: https://www.canadapost.ca/cpo/mc/business/support/customernumber.jsf

Thanks for the info.  They seem to be a warehouse only, so no walk-ins.

I think I'll stick with GM-Packaging since I'll need to go there and physically check the size and weight of the box.  I may well have underestimated the weight of the box for shipping, so I hope I didn't screw myself!

I'm planning on printing the shipping labels from PayPal and they do offer little discounts on shipping for domestic, not sure about international though.

It works well actually, but if you just cross the border to NY or something, might be tad bit cheaper to ship all the USA orders haha. (Talking like $3-5 per order) but it is quite strenuous to drive that long. I find it is very hard to print labels for things that were not sent to me as a payment :|

Well it depends on how long you stay and how much you're bringing back.

I believe it's only strict on the way back into Canada, apparently you can cross into the USA with $6,000 in cash.. although it is somewhat sketch if it is all postage stuff >.<. Who knows, maybe its not worth the effort but shipping might be saving a lot more, would be a pain to be at the post office trying to ship hundreds of boxes :P

I crossed the Canadian and New York border a few times, in different locations. Usually I noticed they are more strict coming back to New York. Also, if you drive with a family or extra people they often don't check your car at all. If you don't cross the border often in a car, they usually don't check. Never once have I been checked while crossing the border to each side, once I even had a passenger with an expired passport and all they said was to renew it.

There seems to be much discussion on our part regarding the space bars.
Our current plans are to incorporate polycarbonate spacebars for each color(with the exception of black, having a normal black space bar or a clear polycarbonate space bar)

So red sets will have red polycarbonate space bars and yellow will have yellow polycarbonate space bars.
We will be hosting a group buy soon for the space bars once the bumble bee set group buy has met it's deadline (Aug 24th) for those who are interested.
We will also be providing standard white space bars for those who prefer not to have a polycarbonate version.

We will not be pursuing other solid colored space bars for now.

Hope this helps clear any confusion!

Thank you for presenting your plans concerning the spacebars!

I am not really sure though whether I'd like to have a single polycarbonate key on my board. Might look a bit off. Maybe it should come with a matching polycarbonate ESC key to have something else in the same style on the board.

I assume those will be made by SP and not match the Tai Hao profile right?

The Esc is a good idea and we may include that option in the groupbuy.
Yes, SP will be manufacturing them thus they will not match the Tai Hao profile but the difference should be minimal/negligible.

For the space bar, they only had 5x on hand at that time.

These keycaps will not be very backlight friendly for the Shine 3, but you might as well get both - you probably will eventually anyway.

Looks nice! Although not really fan of black in general (QFR stock caps are black)

Those who plan to use these caps for QFR, what's the plan for LED light keys? Simply cover them up or some how make a cut?

I'll probably either drill a small hole in the side, or just not worry about it. Caps lock is the only state key that really matters on a TKL, and it's quite obvious what the state is as soon as you start typing anything.

Edit: there is the Win lockout key too, which could be important for gaming. I never use it myself, but if I did I'd probably see if the light is visible without a window, and if not drill it.

Yeah I use win lock key more often than caps lock.
Drilling is one solution I guess.

Looks good.  Plain and straight-forward, but at least the legends are consistent across all the keys.

I suspect the main question is: can they maintain this consistency across 250,000+ keycaps?

I hope keypop gets on the molding for the 6.25 spacebar with SP, but would be nice if he can get SP to work on off center stem capslock either stepped or full touch, but I doubt the capslock will happen due to not enough interest to pay off the molding price. The space bar 6.25 for sure will get pay itself off and then some.

Looks like I'm gonna have to do stem mod on all color capslock's.

I don't think anyone needs to pay for any molding cost for the 6.25x space bar.  As for the off centered capslock, SP is already making them since tsangan sets includes one, so no molding cost.  Just need to reach their MOQ for reasonable price.

Not sure, but SP might sell some if they have them in stock on their site like some key caps they are selling?

If this GB goes well and lets say most of the keycaps are defect free, or all the defects that are reported by the buyers are taken care of by sending replacements I see no reason why there shouldn't be another GB down the road but in different colors.

I'm sure they can get different colors: purple,orange,coffee,cream etc etc etc, its a matter of buying the plastic in different colors.

6.25 space bar mold and off center stemmed capslock, do not have to be stepped.... as long as its off center, make the set more complete, also maeby 4 more keys x1 blanks for R1, we have bunch of 104 keyboards with the extra 4 keys above the number pad, but this is not much of an issue because there can be 4 deco keys there anyways :)

There are two different standards for caps lock keys. Most modern Cherry MX keyboards have a caps lock key that looks like any other key and the stem is in the center of the key cap like on all other keys.

Keyboards made by Cherry have a stepped caps lock though, because it makes it easier to avoid hitting caps lock accidentally. On these keycaps, the stem is in the center of the higher part, and not in the center of the whole key cap.

In short: you need the right key cap for your keyboard, these are two incompatible systems.

Correct me if I'm wrong but there weren't any white sets in this GB.
If there were I'd be well sad.

That's my bad, I meant to type red and black, not white and black.  Was just typing about white stabilizer pieces for a while and mixed those up.

Frankly, I would have been happy to pay $1 more, for $10/set, just to get the proper space bars. ABS space bars are always dying.

Everything but the spacebar, left Windows-key and FN key. Everything else will fit, but the Control and Alt keys will have a slightly bigger gap to the sides of it.

Post by: elton5354 on Thu, 29 August 2013, 21:35:14
If the Alt and Crtl keys are 1.5 then they will fit along with the 1x keys the set is coming with. You'd need to find another 1x for the Fn key. As well as the space bar as mentioned.
Title: Re: [In Production] Tai Hao 110 Coloured DS Set GB - $9/set

Right, I forgot there are two 1x keycaps included. Only a replacement spacebar is necessary then. Three 1.25x keycaps works fine in the 1.5x/1x/1.5x spot.

That's okay, I'm running a ghetto custom case so those sorts of things don't bug me too much. Even the shorter-ish left shift is okay? And what's the deal with capslock? If it doesn't fit, who sells single capslock keys?

Well I was speaking with Tai Hao earlier about 6.25x space bars. They are now willing to make the tooling for it.

Gosh, they should've told me earlier because before they were just saying no, no 6.25x space bar!

1x6.25 spacebar: USD2.00 / per unit
MOQ: Total 2000pcs
Color Option: Black/Red/Blue/Yellow/Green
MOQ per color: 400~500pcs
Tooling Time: 1 month
Lead time: 1 month after finishing the tooling

Maybe another GB? But it's going to be hard to get to that MOQ.

Why would it be hard?
we hit the MOQ for the rest of the caps

I'm willing to spend for the space bar since there's no chance i'm getting a full size keyboard which use 7x
since I'm TKL all the way now

Post by: LechnerDE on Fri, 30 August 2013, 02:18:26
I don't think hitting MOQ would be a major problem, because almost everybody would love a matching spacebar for standard keyboards.

Hell, I'd take 2 spacebars per set because they are the first thing that get's shiny. If we barely can't hit 2000 pieces, maybe keypop can come to the rescue again ;)

I'd prefer to extend this GB and wait for the spacebars, because starting a separate GB would cause so much extra fees, shipping costs etc. that it isn't really worth it for a couple of spacebars...

I think you should start a one week poll to check if the majority is in favor of getting those spacebars done and if they are ok with extending this GB or not.

I, for one, do not agree to extension.
Organizing such a mass is not easy.
Some people just shoot and forget, or rather expect a slip from the post office in roughly N months.
This would also mean a change of plans for this GB - which is statistically not a good approach to doing things.

Organize it as a second group buy rather than an extension. I am ok with either but would prefer the oppurtunity to get the space bars.

Extension could mean another few months to this GB. Also some orders wouldn't fit extra space bars due to the weight limit and would cost extra for shipping (orders of 3 sets and 7 sets).

I'll open a GB later today for the space bars and skip the IC to save time.

Agreed. This is exactly what went through my head as soon as I saw the 6.25 gb thread I would have bought more colors if I thought I could have got a matching space bar.... But, going forward, I think you have to do a separate gb as elton is doing.

I doubt MOQ will be a prob. Like someone said above, many people will buy extra spacebars simply because they wear out fast.

I told him to ask how much would cost be for the off center full touch blank, this way should be cheaper and other people who don't have winkeyless boards will stigg get them for the sake of longevity of the set.

you need to read the replies, keycaps are produced but the manufacturer is sorting them out. Its a lot of keys to be sorted so it will take some time, maeby another 10 more days till they are shipped.

It appears that the QuickFire pro has weird r1 keys around the spacebar. What keys will not fit on my board and require custom purchases from WASD, etc.?

Post by: Artichoke on Sun, 15 September 2013, 19:08:19
Looks like just the space bar wont fit. 4 1.5x keys and 2 1x keys were added to the GB so it looks like you'd be fine for the bottom row other than the spacebar.

I guess not small-scale.  I think SP is happy to work us in because of the relatively high margins they make on our oddball stuff.  My guess is that TH hasn't figured out how to make money off small-batch work.  It is kind of weird when you think about it to be getting custom orders in this line of work.  Imagine folks wanting to order white on blue appliance knobs in small batches or something like that.  I think they're not used to dealing with the "community."  I may be totally wrong on this, I'm just basing that on their behavior here.

If they were smart though, they wouldn't increase MOQ. They'd just increase their unit cost until it's worth their while.  Shoot, double what we're paying would be a pretty good deal.  And we're a great group to have around when things get slow.  It's easy to stir up interest here if you need to keep the machines running while you wait for your next big job.

2000 sets per color @ $9 is not going to happen.... but

500 sets per color (included the 6.25 uni spacebar & off center stepped CapsLock) @ $20 per set can happen, still cheap and something that Tai Hao may consider accepting.

300 MOQ is the lowest they will go for now.

If there are interests in the near future for different colours, I'm more than happy to do another group buy for new colours.  This time with the right space bar for 104 key cap set.

Got an update that the caps will be ready to be shipped by Sept 10~15.  So I'll probably get them by the 2nd week of October.

Hi Elton,

All the Asia orders will be ship to proxy in Singapore direct, then proxy send to each people in Asia , am I right ?

Elton you should give another month  cool off time after people receive their space bars. Here is the question again, any chance for " Off Center Stemmed CapsLock"? no matter if its full touch or stepped, although I like the stepped one TH have, looks like Dell 101W CapsLock.

Considering that the original set was $6.50 and was bumped a couple of times (for valid and sanctioned reasons) to $9, making it $11 for something that few want would be a bit silly, I agree.

Wonder how likely it is that Tai Hao would do a run og just centre-stemmed caps locks (if they can even make them)?

Not sure, but they did offered it with 6.25x space bar for $4 at 400 MOQ.  A MOQ that won't ever be met just with those 2 keys, let alone the caps lock.

Post by: bazemk1979 on Thu, 26 September 2013, 19:16:19
Well all righty then, if just a single CapsLock will raise the price to $11 then I guess I understand. But when  we speak of the new color sets, for $9 per set we do not get the x7 space bar and the x1.5 and x1 mods right?

Cause in order to make sense to have the off center CapsLock you also need the x7 space bar and the x1.5, x1 mods which it should raise the price of the set from $9 to $13 correct?

That's $4 more for:

- 4 x1.50 mods
- 2 x1 mods
- x7 spacebar
- Off Center Stepped CapsLock

Does these keys justify the extra $4 more adding to the future sets? I would want them, but honestly I don't have to have them, TaiHao sets I can use on the WASD V2 board and not the Korean board, but was curious what other people opinion is on these extra keys and is the extra $4 charge worth it?

EDIT: BTW I'm happy at least we got the 6.25 uni spacebar

I think people accepted the extra keys this run because it was only $1 more.  But for $4 more I don't think there would be enough demand to meet the MOQ.

Oh another random idea.  If we have another future runs we can probably do inverse colour so we can make our own CCnB/CCnG/CCnR/CCnY sets.

Then they will have to do the CC keys with different color of legends, for example you will need a whole set of CC only with red legends, then a whole set red keys with CC legends.... so in order to get CC with blue,red,green you need to buy 6 sets.

Another thing is does TH wants to do any other color legend beside white?  Maeby we should see what color of keycaps they can offer for the next GB with white legends before we jump into requesting special things with them.

To me, the more keys offered, the better. BUT, instead of nitpicking over caps locks, I'd like to see legends for the WIN keys and Menu key. Maybe they have another DS mold that could be used if they can't make those keys so we'd have something there instead of blanks?

Either way, I can't wait to see these sets. I almost wish I had ordered more... Thanks for running this elton and for the updates.

They will send me items directly.

In fact, My place is very closed to them. lol

Awesome.  Show us some pictures of it when it arrives. When did they say they will deliver them?

TH sent me some pictures of my shipment.

I think people accepted the extra keys this run because it was only $1 more.  But for $4 more I don't think there would be enough demand to meet the MOQ.

Oh another random idea.  If we have another future runs we can probably do inverse colour so we can make our own CCnB/CCnG/CCnR/CCnY sets.

:P

Then they will have to do the CC keys with different color of legends, for example you will need a whole set of CC only with red legends, then a whole set red keys with CC legends.... so in order to get CC with blue,red,green you need to buy 6 sets.

Another thing is does TH wants to do any other color legend beside white?  Maeby we should see what color of keycaps they can offer for the next GB with white legends before we jump into requesting special things with them.

lol maybe I should clarify, by CC I mean just that setup of alternate modifier colors.  Yes I know CC means cream cheese I guess was just being lazy when I wrote that post earlier.

What I meant is red/blue/yellow/green on white.  Since we already got white on red/blue/yellow/green in this group buy.  But anyway it's just a suggestion I guess we'll see later.

And ohhhhhhh Elton soon you'll be swimming in keycaps.  :D

This would be excellent!

I'd be hanging out for blue on white - then I can make my WnRB (white and royel(ish) blue) set.

Nope, been closed for over a month. Keypop has many orders that will most likely be on their site when they get them. You can also be sure a couple will show up on the classifieds shortly after we all receive as well.

k just wondering cause i know personally its a PITA to deal with Canada Customs.
Also i hope you don't have to deal with GST/HST.

You can ask them which agent they're using in Canada to deal with, you'll prob need to sign over a Power of Attorney or something for them to clear customs.

Generally if a GB title says "taking orders" then absolutely, yes.

If it says "invoicing", then you might, depending on the temperement of the GB organiser, and conditions of the GB.

If it says "in production" (as this one does), then no, the order has already been placed with the manufacturer and they are producing the ordered quantity.

Anything after that e.g. "shipping" is way too late.

The only other option is if someone decides to drop out for whatever reason, and you might be able to take their place.

Or wait until after they are delivered and check Classifieds.

Or KeyPop :)

Hey Elton,

I am not sure whether you saw my post in the spacebar thread, but I'd like to combine my two orders to save some shipping costs.

I hope this is possible and you can hold back my first order until you get the spacebars from Tai Hao :)

Post by: elton5354 on Tue, 01 October 2013, 12:13:00
Yes, I saw it and I stated that some orders may not fit in their original orders because of box size and weight limit.  Especially orders over 7 sets as I underestimated the weight and cost, I'm paying the extra shipping for those.  I'm not sure if adding more space bars will make it over 3.3 LB which goes to another level of cost.

Also, my house isn't that big, so if everyone wants me to hold their sets, my house would be cluttered for months..

Some people, vendors particularly, have purchased multiple sets.  Perhaps some of them will appear for sale.

Plus some people might have grabbed sets to see what they were like, and decide to offload them at some stage - watch Classifieds.

And there are rumours that there might be another GB from Tai Hao at some stage in the future - especially if they can provide additional colours (purple springs to mind, especially after seeing tht jelly up there).

Every time I see this hint of keycap swimming, it reminds me of Dom Deluise as Caesar in "History of the world part 1". After he has a treasure bath, he removes something that got 'stuck', hands it to a slave and says 'wash this'. I just know I would end up with those keycaps :P So as Rowdy says, no swimming please.

Making stuff together, compressed cocaine keycaps to be smuggled through the Canada border. Overall a good plan, but they make an unsatisfactory clunk when bottomed out.

I'm going to start printing those shipping labels from PayPal on the weekend, so if you get an email that says your order is shipped, it's not.  I'm just going to print all those out beforehand.  I'll update on the google doc whether your order is shipped or not.

Can I get a refund if you didn't order enough sets?   :'(

Don't worry! I guess it's just a minor mistake and it was not updated in the spreadsheet.

I think Elton ordered so many sets himself to be prepared for cases like this. I am convinced Elton will make sure you get the sets you already paid for :)

They look like stabilizer mount spot for ALPS stabilizers.  At least on Matias, the stabilizers are similar to Costar where you get a plastic piece to insert to the side, except on ALPS the stems are squared.

Maybe try it clip it off like people said.

I dunno if it's been mentioned....but the blank caps are doubleshot....which is pointless but neat!

I'll update the google doc as I'm shipping these out. Well if you want to confirm your address with me, you can always PM me.

@elton5354

I already boxed the first 100 down the list. Probably ship them all out by a week or so.

I think that could be troublesome for the post office to scan that many packages, many of which are identical, from the same customer.  I'd minimize potential errors on their part and ship in smaller batches.

Just got a shipping notification! I can't wait!

edit: should have one of red& yellow too, but I'll be very happy with my sets I think.
I wonder if one could carefully dremel their own design into the mods. That would be kind of cool!
I have a keyboard that did this on some of the keycaps. It works a lot better on thick first-shots, but may still be possible here. You'll have to etch it pretty deep and you may as well infill it at that point.

I weighed each box for each sets and I only have 3 different sizes, so I don't need to weigh every box. Some people's address are different than their PayPal so I'd have to change it. Asia's addresses are confusing lol

Just letting some of you know that I'm having the first 100 down the list picked up by my local PO on Tuesday.  I would do Monday, but they only pick up from 12pm-5pm and I'll be busy that day.

Next pick up will maybe be Thursday or Friday.  Yeah, I think this will take a bit long than a week I guesstimated.  Maybe 1.5 weeks to ship them all out, so some time next week.

The 7x spacebar, after cutting alps mount, is not mountable at all.
It seems like the stem of the spacebar is not properly aligned with standard 7x spacebar.  :(
The stem of the spacebar is about 1-2mm away from keyboard mount.

Wow, that sucks.

The 7x spacebar was the only reason we actually agreed on adding 1,5 mods and increase the set price 2$ and now we actually can't use these extra keys properly.

But actually I am not really mad. At these prices there is no complaining  :p

But we should be aware of this issue if there is another GB with Tai Hao.

You know there was a GB for a 6.25x spacebar.

But like Defying said, I really hope the 6.25 spacebars don't have the same problem. That would be a complete waste

Post by: rowdy on Mon, 28 October 2013, 14:09:30
Now those that ordered sets BECAUSE they had a 7x space bar are feeling the same as those who did not order because there was NO 6.25x space bar.

Wonder if anyone should do an IC for matching 7x space bars?  Tai Hao might come to the party if they realise that the space bars cannot be used and enough people want them.

Post by: Photoelectric on Mon, 28 October 2013, 14:30:48
Doh.  Well, at worst, you can buy a 7x spacebar from Signature Plastics directly, even if the color/profile won't match--could try to make it work.  I got one for my LZ-GH, since I only have ANSI sets.

84/86 key winkeyless layouts are still considered ANSI. I know what you mean when you say it, but technicality and such. You mean you only had 87 key ANSI or winkey sets.

The 6.25x space bar shouldn't be a problem since it's a copy of the EK's one.

That's very unfortunate with the 7x space bar. I should've asked for the dimensions first. I assumed that the size of them were universal. Not sure what I can do at this point.

well now we know for future GB's we wont include 1.5, x1 and x7 mods :) keep it simple 1.25 layout with the x6.25 space bar, also we don't need to try and get that off center stepped capslock

The caps come pre-sorted by Tai Hao--it'll be difficult and very time consuming for one person to determine if one in a dozen sets has a missing cap.

So long as customs doesn't hear the rumour that all these key caps are actually going to be crushed and snorted.

Wow, only 8 days? That is top tier!

Kind of unrelated, but where should I buy the appropriate spacebar for my CM Quickfire Pro? I do not know the form factor, but the spacebar sold on WASD keyboards is listed as longer than what I measured my own spacebar at.

And eventually there may well be another GB, especially if Tai Hao can provide different colours, and/or include a 6.25x space bar in the base set.
Title: Re: [Shipping] Tai Hao 110 Coloured DS Set GB
Post by: legodt on Thu, 31 October 2013, 14:08:31
I don't think 6.25x is the appropriate scale either, nobody has any details on the QuickFire Pro's scaling because of how ****ed up its bottom row is.

Honestly probably just going to either leave the spacebar black or do a trashy spray paint job on it. I dunno.

Got my shipping notification today, too! Whee!

Indeed! Definitely a big fan of the yellow and green. I think I'll be replacing the rest of the front facing black key caps and replace them with the green for a seamless look. Also not sure how I feel about my red with yellow modifiers.... Hurts my eyes, lol.

Now's a good time for USPS shipping because Fedex and Passenger airlines sell their empty cargo space to the post office. It's a pretty slow time for both so there's lots of extra room to be sold.  In about 2 weeks, those same packages would be going by truck when those airlines start hitting peak volumes for Thanksgiving -> New Years.  Valentines and tax time are the next major bumps in shipping for the year.

In case some of you are wondering why there's a "MANUAL" beside your shipping status, it's because I couldn't print your shipping label for some reason.  I have to go to the PO to ship it.  Good thing there's only a handful of you..but your orders are going to be shipped last.....

Got my sets:
Blue (with miami spacebar)
[attach=1]   [attach=2]

And green on my Pure with white vortex and sp rt shift.  The green from sp is a bit brighter.  Not as noticeable until the lighting is good. 
[attach=3]   [attach=4]

Thanks again Elton. 

Also, just a note to others, these are quite tight on the stems.  I used a small screwdriver in the cap to manually open them up an tiny bit (not enough to whiten the plastic, just a tiny nudge), and they fit much better.  Be very wary of pcb mounted stabs.

Just came. So many possibilities. This red and yellow match my school colors perfectly.

All of these colors look really good. Gonna be fun mixing and matching over the next few days.

I wanted to keep the original pink keys that came with this keyboard but I don't see a good way to keep them on there. Does anyone have any good design ideas?

No tracking for international shipments.  You should've received an email from PayPal that the shipping label was paid for and printed.

Tracking is only available for US orders that have 7 sets and over, but people should already know that since they received emails from PayPal.  All Canadian shipments have tracking.

Got mine today.  I'm actually surprised at the quality.  The stems are a little tight, but they're about SP thickness.  The texture feels worse than SP to me, but the plastic itself feels better than SP.

Those pink caps would look good with the blue Tai Hao caps, in my opinion.  As in, pink and the rest solid blue.

Nubbinator can I see a pic of your board, how is it paired with the black on white?

I'll have to try out the blue, I'm not sure why but I just felt like the blue wouldn't work due to the red base instead of black or whatnot, so I was planning to save blue for when I get a 2nd board. Putting the blues next to the pink keys, they do work together.

I somehow lost my keycap puller and have been using a paperclip and it's kind of a pain since it's not that sturdy so I'm done experimenting tonight lol

For now I put some red and yellow on for my school colors. Go ISU! I'll test out the blue this weekend.

Man... this is the first set of key caps I've ever purchased, and I'm really digging everything about these keys compared to stock QFR's.  While red is my favorite color, I wish I ordered all the colors.

Then again, I'll need to have purchased more spacebars...

probably not too long, hey my Dolch is showing some light shine on the caps, do you really think I'll get rid of the set cause of the shine? never!!!
 Tai Hao and GMK's are bought to stay for good, waiting on Elton to be done with the space bars, and hopefully he can gather some patience to try and run 2nd GB with different colors + white legends.

I'm not saying I'd get rid of them... I'm just trying to savor the moments of typing on these nicely textured keys.  Even when the keys' textures do begin to wear out, I expect to be pounding away on these double-shots for years to come.

I've never thought of the possibility of a second group buy.  I guess I'm too new here to have made out that prediction.  A second group buy does make me a lot more hopeful for future keyboard customization.  However, I feel that Elton should take a big break before deciding to host a second group buy.  The orders for this particular group buy must have taken loads of work and perseverance.

There is talk of seeing of they will do a second GB with different colours, and perhaps integrating a 6.25x space bar into the standard set.
Title: Re: [Shipping] Tai Hao 110 Coloured DS Set GB
Post by: bazemk1979 on Tue, 05 November 2013, 01:25:29
6.25 space bar will be in the new color sets and the x7 space bar , x1.5 and x1 modifiers will fall out because the x7 spacebar stabilizer stems are not in proper place + we don't have mold for off center stepped nor off center full touch Caps Lock ( kind of kills the Tsangan kit purpose).... Most likely will be straight up ANSI modern bottom row layout and looks like we  will keep the $9 price. Elton will most likely want 2-3 months break after the space bars are delivered, I freaked a bit when he posted pics of the keycaps boxes  :eek:

Why disappointing?

The white legend shot shows through the yellow just a bit, but not really noticeable when installed on a board.  Downside to having a light base colour too is that the contrast between the legend and key isn't nearly as strong.  All of the other colours are great, the legends are sharp and easily readable at a glance (if necessary).  If the yellow keys had a black legend it'd be easier to read, but then you'd see it through the key easier.  :-\

It's a lot of work to do a massive GB like this. Maybe somewhen else can make Round 2 happen - I don't think Elton would mind.

I wouldn't say the WASD kits are horrible, pastel colours do have their place. I'm referring specifically to the red (which isn't pastel) but it's more due to the fact that I live in the UK so I need to find a matching ISO enter from somewhere :P Might just end up getting white mods if the red match is bad and the white isn't though..

Compares to WASD sample kit. Hope this help.

Thanks a lot for the photo :) how would you say the legend of the keys matches up to the white WASD caps?

I decided to stick with school spirit for now and will try out the pink with the rest blue very soon as was suggested!

P.S. What are the opinions on ~ and | keys? I've seen them go every which way(either matching letters/#'s or matching modifiers or mix/match both ways). Should my | key be red too!?

Keep an eye out - there might be a few floating around Classifieds, or maybe even certain vendor forums, at some stage.  Also KeyPop had some polycarb space bars made up - some of those might become available too.  If those are anything like the BumbleBee space bar - they are great!

Received mine today. They look awesome, thanks again elton. This was my first GB and it was incredibly smooth.

Congratulations!

Not all GBs are quite as smooth as this - thanks to Elton for this one :)

Our opinions don't matter - just do whatever you like most  :p

Technically the "~" and the "\" key should be the same color as the rest of the alphas, because they clearly are not Modifier keys.

Personally, I'd use the yellow caps for those 2 keys for perfect symmetry, but as I said that's totally up to you  :)

If you're the sort that worries about those things, you can always try what I do: only alphas one color, everything else (numerics, punctuation, and modifiers) another. Once my set is here I'll be posting pics :) Can't wait!

I guess this proves that they DO take custom colour orders.  Hmmmmmmmm lol.

And the ETA on Sherryton's site says January, I guess he's waiting on spacebar too.  Maybe Tai Hao finally realize there's a market for this layout.

I've ask TH about it and have a price and MOQ already. I've posted this a month ago I think.

For the spacebars. That's why they let me to go with that low MOQ because they said they have another project for it.

Oh I remember seeing that post, but I guess I just didn't know what colour options they're willing to do.

lol yeah I kinda suspect as much about the spacebar when I saw this.  Now I wonder if they're willing to develop proper mold for window and menu key.

Very soon the market will be flooded with Tai Hai keycaps.  :P

The major selling point when THIS GB started was a full set of DS (minus space bar) for $6.50.

If they accept custom colour orders for an extra price, we might not have made the MOQ.

Even with the couple of little additions, $9 for the sets in this GB - people could hardly refuse to join in!

According to tracking, mine seems stuck in an international mail sorting facility in Chicago. It's been there since Nov 9th; it's supposed to head for New York. They're over 50 sets, therefore, the possibility of the box not being noticed is far out. I've read stories about missing or lost mail/packages as they land in the Chicago ISC though there have been positive ones, as well. I hope it's a case of their tracking system not being updated and that the caps are actually on the road to its final destination.

C'mon guys - tight is better than loose... Unless you're a girl :D
As for keycaps, that was one of turn off from SP DSA's I've got recently, stabilizers were not holding them tight and it was just crappy experience to use them - I had to put bits of paper to keep them tight, then ended up breaking a white stab under one of my shifts when removing it. Not cool...

Got mine today.  :)

Unfortunately I am not as impressed as I was hoping to be.  Don't get me wrong, the colors are awesome, but there is more variance in the thickness of the keycap walls than I would like.

Edit: After further inspection, it is not as bad as I thought.  They are not all perfectly uniform, but once they are on a keyboard I doubt I will notice...

Here is a potato...

But, for the price, I'd say the quality is there.

Is there a correlation between the difference in thickness of the caps and the feel when it's being typed on?

The space bars however I have a problem with. It's too thin and there are no support on the underside like they have on the 7x. You can easily bend them with a slight touch. I'm afraid they will break during shipping...that's why I'm trying to pack these in a single file in the bubble envelopes.

I am used to typing on thick pbt keycaps, so I am spoiled.  Yes, I feel that there is a difference when typing on high quality thick keycaps.

Yeah, Clears will have a very tight fit with most keycaps, in my experience.  Thick PBT has been the easiest to remove, but everything else locks on tightly.

So it turns out that typing on anything other than thick pbt is too much of a departure from my comfort zone.

This means that I have 5 sets (one of each color) that are available for purchase.  My sets also include the 6.25 spacebar.  Check for details in the link in my signature.  I am selling these for less than I paid for them (assuming you buy them all).

Edit:
My preference is to sell all the sets together.  I will give someone till Wednesday (Dec 4th) to buy all of the sets together, after which I will start selling the sets individually.  I already have interest in the Blue and Red sets.

The original idea was to cut a bit out of the middle and glue the ends together to make a 6.25x space bar.

Anyone tried that yet?

Probably a waste of time now as we have 6.25x space bars.

I have never been drawn to white keycaps but considering the price + the overall quality I' would be so in for a set of each!!!!

Me thinks if the sets are all white, then maeby we should have the legends in same color as the 5 sets we received, that way we can mix and match the colored sets with the new white sets with the matching color legends and have retro style look to it.

Not crazy about white but I'll be in for 1 of each if the legend colors match out current color GB keycaps ( black,red,green,yellow,blue)

As these are advertised in the Tai Hao GB thread, are these also from Tai Hao?

They are Tai Hao's key caps, so OEM. 

I'm still negotiating the price, but they have increased it due to various reasons.

Me too and I am saying this before I have even received the first batch.

I love the idea to create my own Tai Hao CCnG, Red Alert, Raindrop sets with these reverse color schemes :)

They are Tai Hao's key caps, so OEM. 

I'm still negotiating the price, but they have increased it due to various reasons.

If I do this, it will be 104 key cap set with 6.25x space bar.

Thanks!

Damnit!  I'm going to end up with more keycaps than I know what to do with.

Oh, wait, I already have :confused:

A few more sets won't make any difference then :))

Very nice. I'd be happy to get any of those bar the lime green. It might just be my monitor/eyes but I can barely see that on the white.

Would there be any chance of Tai Hao developing an ISO enter btw? I understand that the cost would probably be quite large, as with the 6.25 space bars but quite a lot of the participants in this GB were EU/ISO users so there could be a market?

TH is supporting the suggestion of coloured modifiers with white alpha key caps, but it's kind of redundant now if people want the inverse colours of their original colours.

They also have made the tooling for the window and menu key caps to be double injected (1.25x).

I'm not sure about ISO enter key since you'd need a short left shift as well and some other 1x keys to be included to have a fully supported ISO layout.

True, I plan to just use one of the 1.25x's from the bottom row (same size/profile) and keep the windows keys I already have and then just make up for the extra 1x's with a numpad key and one of the 1x blanks included for the bottom row. I think the only difficulty in implementing it really would be making the mould for the ISO enter as all the other keys already exist and given the wide variety of ISO layouts, blanks would make more sense for the 1x's.

If you really run a Round 2 could you get those keys made to replace the blank ones from Round 1? Would make these sets perfect (for their cost).

If Tai Hao's next step is Cherry profile thick ABS keys there is nothing to improve ;)

1 of each at $9 each is not that much.

Just wait until you have a dozen keyboards in your collection, a handful of Clacks, dozens or hundreds of random novelty keycaps, a spare box of switches, a couple of custom cables and then look at your wallet ;)

Hey Elton if we go for the 2 tone color, maeby just maeby we should go with different colors than round 1? It would not make sense to have the same keys made all over again, pretty awesome that they have made the tooling to be DS for the menu and win keys, that's great news. If this turns into GB and people vote for all white keys sets with the same color legends of round 1 keys, maeby every set can include the 2 win keys and page key 1.25 to replace the blanks we got with the round 1? if that's not too much trouble and people want this and prices don't skyrocket crazy, then this will be another interesting GB for sure.

This +1. Those white ones look sick for a bit of contrast, assuming they're using the same red plastic for the red lettering as the original red keycaps, they'll look mint  :thumb:

Matching these up with the last ones would be awesome.  And maybe even mixing colored legends on the same board could be cool too.    And that orange and light blue look awesome.  And a windowed caps lock would be awesome.  I'm really going to miss my money.

Not sure if anyone else had any issues like this (78 pages is too much to look back through :) )- but on 3/5 of my caps lock keys, there is excess white plastic along the rear wall of the cap that makes contact with the back of the switch housing. For me it was immediately noticeable, but nothing a little Dremel action couldn't fix. Just dremel out the excess plastic, or cut it out with a utility knife.

Really it's not too bad.  If you take the $9 sets plus the space bars, plus the shipping they paid on both, they're not exactly making a killing on them.  I mean I don't know where else you can get a full set of doubleshot ABS for <$25.  Even a blue set sans 6.25 spacebar on ebay is listed at more.

I don't really need any of the caps until the GH60 arrives, and it doesn't look like it's happening any time soon (and that's fine, I'd rather wait and get a well made board instead of a rushed buggy thing), so I don't care how long the caps take to make it half way around the globe. I'll post some pictures in the beach sand so you get something exotic for the collection.

I picked up my 7 sets from the post office yesterday. The box sounded like a box full of legos :)

I also noticed that the caps fit very tightly on the stems, but that's not a problem if you remove them carefully. I really like the rich colors and I would love to get reversed sets in Round 2.

I was really impressed that not a single key was missing or wrong across my 7 sets. Very good QC by Tai Hao!

I'm not sure what day-9 is, google tells me he is a pro Starcraft player but that's as far as I got! The caps feel really nice to type on, it's probably just because I'm so excited to get them, but they feel better than the stock Poker 2 keys. They are tight to fit, but I got them on without any problems at all. I've been wanting to do a stripe since I got my Poker, looks great imho and really suits my corner desk set up  :thumb:

He was a professional Starcraft player, but that was a while ago. He's a caster and event organizer now. See this screenshot (http://day9.tv/site_media/media/images/aloha-uploads/day9-daily-529-polts-tvz-beat-the-imba/image.jpeg) from his online show "The Day[9] Daily", and look at the colour scheme used in the logotype and the episode title. That's what I meant.

There is a 7x space bar in the set, but it has really weird stems.

Something I spotted the instant mine arrived — the massive asterisk symbol (which I love). I recognised it immediately as matching the corresponding keycap of my Oriental Tech OK-100M keyboard from 1991 or 1992.

Here's a comparison — NIB 1991/1992 keycaps top, group buy keycaps below:

[attachimg=1]

So there we have it. 22 years of double-shot production! I've since realised that a lot of keycaps match exactly, including the Focus FK-2001 and at least one OmniKey. Other keyboards match sufficiently to suggest the same keycap OEM.

Looks like we've been using their doubleshots for a long time without realising who they are.

Of course, it could be that another company set up doubleshot tooling with the exact same font, symbols, spacing etc, but that seems rather unlikely. Most keys match, including the exact size and shape of the arrows on the arrow keys.

That would go some way towards explaining their surprisingly high quality - that they have been going for years and it is not (necessarily) a new startup.

I knew about that — as far as I know, it was my sample photos at DT that (directly or indirectly) tipped off Elton that he could arrange a group buy ; ) I was investigating Alps clones and discovered that the company that made the switches in question, also made doubleshot keycaps. Felly at Tai-Hao offered to send some sample keycaps along with my sample switches, so I made sure to demonstrate them. I was not seriously expecting anyone to even notice, so I was really surprised when I found out that there was an interest check running for them!

I'm really glad how well this worked out for everyone. Elton's done a great job with this — I'm really pleased he picked it up.

I just didn't realise how widespread their keycaps were at one point. Another little nugget of knowledge to write up on the wiki when I get chance.

BTW, from what I understand, they do have Mac tooling too.

That's interesting, Daniel.  I've also been wondering for some time whether Tai Hao can also produce keycaps for alps, since technically they make some alps switches, and their 7x spacebars that originally came with these MX sets also include alps stabilizer parts.  Given that there is a scarcity of Alps caps--could Tai Hao become a source?

Yes, but there's been a long-standing Alps cap set thread started by Calavera.  When we have this company that already makes alps caps and doesn't charge a lot for their sets.  So  say instead of $9 a set, you paid 3x as much to meet the MOQ for Alps caps--it'd still be cheaper than anything from SP.  Even 4-6x as much.  Now divide their MOQ by 6, and you might have enough people ordering some shiny new Alps sets.

And everyone would get 6 sets as well, not just pay 6 times as much for a set.

This becomes especially interesting with upcoming customs which are compatible with Alps.

On to the bad news, now I have to wait until the 26th to pick it up... crap! Postal office is too far away and I'm just doing too much stuff for the holidays!

I finally got what was waiting for me in the post office but it was the space bars and not the key caps. Oh well the sets should arrive in a week or so. . . I guess...  ;D

We just conducted a Tai Hao group buy here in the Philippines. There were 18 of us in the buy; everyone got their sets three weeks ago through a meetup. Now, we are all just waiting for the spacebars. I wish you'd have joined us, though. ;)

If you guys are ever planning to do another round PM me dude!

Received my sets earlier this week (1x black, 1x blue) in a very roundabout fashion via Germany (had to bail on the original GB basically due to lack of funding) to Melbourne, Australia. Very happy with the quality I must say!

The off-centre stem on the caps lock is no good with my Cherry G80, and the space bar is no good with my Ducky, but aside from that, everything lines up great.

Is there any further progress / interest on the sets above (white DS caps with coloured legends)? Really keen to get some :thumb:

Elton what you think of this 2 sets for the next GB? Color combos shouldn't be huge problem since looks like 100% Tai Hao caps. I would love to have 2 tone retro style sets as in the pics below, white/beige & look alike Dolch

Another Aussie reporting in. I picked up my caps yesterday (they arrived at the PO a few days prior). My red set was perfect, but my black set had two F2 keys and no F12, its not a huge a deal though.

Post by: rowdy on Fri, 10 January 2014, 17:41:46
Is there a thread somewhere that people can list the mistakes in their Tai Hao?

Although unless not everyone is reporting omissions/duplicates, there seem to be very few errors, especially considering how many sets were ordered.
Title: Re: [SHIPPED] Tai Hao 110 Coloured DS Set GB
Post by: elton5354 on Fri, 10 January 2014, 18:40:06

Title: Re: [SHIPPED] Tai Hao 110 Coloured DS Set GB
Post by: rowdy on Fri, 10 January 2014, 18:48:08
Actually I have not idea!

The Keycaps section would seem to be a good place - but who would think to look there?

A new thread in Group Buys is not really appropriate, as it is not a new group buy.

And anyway, the few with erroneous sets is generally only one key duplicated, and many if not most people would have posted here.

BTW I put some of my blue Tau Hao onto my KeyCool and took it outside for a photo shoot.  I noticed that some of the legends are a bit smeared, and the plastic on some keys is not consistent (the right Shift, for example).  I hadn't noticed either of these while indoors, either sorting through the keycaps or fitting them on the keyboard.  Might just be under brighter light it shows up.

Elton you said that's Tai Hao will be responsible for errors with their keys, are they still standing behind their promise? or you waiting for everybody to receive their sets, check them out, and add a note to this thread for keycaps replacements, or open a new thread for that?

I would be so impressed if Tai Hao takes care of it, I will be in all TH GB's down the road if that's the case.

looks good men, but having GB for one set might not justify the shipping costs after all.... We need GB for bunch of sets like the first GB such as the set you posted, classic,Dolch look alike,coffee and cream.... Since u say shipping cost have gone up, then would make sense to run GB for 4-5 sets at once agree?

Post by: elton5354 on Mon, 13 January 2014, 00:18:44
Yeah, I'll try along side with the white caps as well.

No what I meant by shipping cost is a problem is me paying for missing keys especially for international orders. They're like $5-$6. US is about $3. Domestic is about $2. That is including cost of bubble envelopes.

It doesn't seem to be the same key each time. Someone F2 * 2.  Someone D * 2.  Someone < * 2.

Is it worth finding an extra set somewhere and just break it up to send individual spare keys around?

If you can find a proxy for each country, or along the same line see if you can send all replacements to one willing person in that country, and have them distribute within the country.

Elton I think is fair enough that you offering replacement keycaps, and nice enough that you give that option + TH is willing to help. The guys who need those keys replaced they should pay for all the shipping charges, When I received the set from Feng it had a double key, men would I wanted to have the proper key and I wouldn't of argued with Elton who should pay for shipping...

That was never the option I couldn't even get replacement key... But when I bought keys from Imsto and they arrived broken, Imsto replaced all broken keys but I had to pay for shipping, at least he offered option for replacement.

Post by: mark_thaddeus on Mon, 13 January 2014, 11:18:21
Yeah I agree that shipping should be shouldered by the people who want t have keys replaced.

It's pretty standard fair and not Elton's fault. I know I'll be paying for my shipping if there are any that need replacing. My keys haven't arrived (Philippines here!) so once I get them hopefully they're good, if not I'll ship them.

But those people aren't responsible for missing keys as well. I think the fairest thing would be to split shipping costs between the customer and the seller. Shouldn't be that much anyway for single keycaps in an envelope...

They're the same as this group buy's materials; ABS double shots.

They already have 700 sets of interest, so the MOQ is already met, unless we break it into the 1000 MOQ range. :D

I am basically interested, but I wanna know the details first. I assume the mockup is not accurate and it will actually have win and menu keys right? Also will the "´" and the "\" be in mod color or alpha color?

Honestly, if there is a Round 2 from Tai Hao I'd prefer straight one colored sets for easy mix 'n'match :)

My sets finally arrived this morning after 4 months (shipped November 3). It was stuck in local customs.

Thank you Elton! :thumb: I'll check later if there are any missing keys.

That would look pretty much like most OEM sets.

The Koreans have done something like that already, in similar colours.

Koreans have done it but we haven't, I'm sure we will be able to hit MOQ and most likely if you run that Dolch look alike + the Classic with black legends its will be only 2 sets and shouldn't be problem reaching MOQ here on GH.

But question is are you willing to, maybe your still feeling burned out from the first GB and you need more cool off time?

EDIT: Windows logo looks fine with me, better than blank + its DS

Both Dolch and I guess light Dolch look good, I think the classic would look much better with black legends and they have done that previously with alps DS caps. We already had colorful GB, lets do some throw back and go with some retro style keycaps both Dolch and Classic hopefully with black legends.

The thing that makes me really happy about Tai Hao is that they have already made this available:

1. Off center stepped capslock
2. x7 space bar
3. 1.25 windows  DS key
4. 1.25 page DS key

Not sure if they have made x1 R4 window,page and Fn keys, but blanks will do the job for them. It would be shame to miss out on a full blow set now since they already have moldings for these keys and they offer them at a slighter price bump.

I would love to see next GB for Dolch,light Dolch and Classic hopefully with black legends, if not then I bite the bullet and order the Classic with blue legends just because Tai Hao has showed great support along the GB communities.

I realise this is really late to the party, but I only just got around to actually putting the Tai Hao caps on a Cherry G80 board.

They don't look or feel as nice as my Ducky Thick PBT's, but they're 100% better than the dirty old lasered ones that came with it. With a quick scrub and the Tai Hao caps, the board looks pretty much brand new.

I've missed quite a bit of the backstory but did anyone manage to find a suitable capslock key solution for use with Cherry boards?

I'm not stressed about it being stepped (in fact I'd prefer if it wasn't stepped) but having the stem in the right place would be great  :))

The only solution I can think of at this stage is to cut the "stem hole" off the Caps Lock key and move it over and super glue it back on.

If I seriously mess it up, I can get spare stem holes off the blank keys (my set came with 4x 1.5, 3x 1.25 and 2x 1), as long as I don't cut through the top of the Caps Lock in the process.

But surely there has to be a better way?

Also what size is the Caps Lock key? It seems to be slightly larger than my blank 1.25x and smaller than 2 1x keys side by side...

Well, sorry for the delay for those with missing key caps. I had Tai Hao agree to ship each person their missing keys for free. I'll be providing them the info tonight when they're back to work.

It was their error since my excel sheet I sent them for the missing keys has the 1x blank under your name.  I hope they reship that key as their expense as it was their error :)

Not sure if they will do the same with your group buy Harry.  They said it was a "special" circumstance for me

Elton May I ask you something ?
Did u tell taihao you are getting the keycaps for gb purpose?

I didn't tell them about the gb stuff cuz I fear they wouldn't give us the lowest price as all of us are direct consumers. But for your case I suppose they actually know that was a gb? Or they wouldn't sent missing caps directly to customers I guess

I'm considering to tell them directly about this. Maybe they would notice about our needs

Yeah, I had them know that I was doing a group buy. 

It might be different now since they are getting a lot of orders for their key caps after my group buy, so they jacked up the prices and have a lot of buyers from businesses.  They might not give their lowest prices now because of businesses might complain to Tai Hao about not maintaining the retail cost and what not to keep competitive..
