Thanks guys!! From the pic they look awesome - I'm anxious to get my hands on them.

If the rest look this good, this set could be pretty legen...wait for it...dary

Now I'm really glad I added four more sets to my order. They look fantastic. :hail:

Wow, they look better than I expected. Can't wait to see the full set!

where did your awesome production advance bar go?

Didn't you do it in this GB?

i3oilermaker · « **Reply #407 on:** Thu, 24 May 2012, 16:03:55 »

I'll put it up when everyone pays up. Gave the offenders a deadline of tomorrow.

Soarer · « **Reply #408 on:** Thu, 24 May 2012, 16:07:07 »

Me? I gambled $750 to save myself* $15... and won :-p

Then ordered two extra sets anyway!

Shame on those who haven't paid up...

* - and everyone else :-)

snowboarder3 · « **Reply #409 on:** Thu, 24 May 2012, 16:57:10 »

Nor are the other two. If you haven't paid by now, you are a deadbeat. That simple.

A "**** list" would make things easier for GB organizers to avoid those who can't pay on time.

megnin · « **Reply #410 on:** Thu, 24 May 2012, 20:15:20 »

Those keys are just freaking awesome looking. I've already got the function keys pulled off of two keyboards waiting for them. :hungry:

RtOaNn · « **Reply #411 on:** Thu, 24 May 2012, 21:22:51 »

Is it me or is the yellow off from the one in the color swatches?

i3oilermaker · « **Reply #412 on:** Thu, 24 May 2012, 21:24:27 »

Melissa has a terrible camera. I will double check color when I get the prototype.

Thanks!
Other than the color, the protos look great!

Shapes are great. Thought they weren't able to do the 9 that good.

Good to have it confirmed!

hashbaz · « **Reply #416 on:** Thu, 24 May 2012, 23:18:05 »

Just want to state again how excited I am for this set. Awesome idea, boiler.

I'm also serious about coating these in something shiny to make them look more like billiard balls. Anyone have any ideas?

Unicorn tears?

I bet there is some kind of model paint sealer/coating that would work well.

muguts · « **Reply #418 on:** Fri, 25 May 2012, 07:38:42 »

nail polish?

dorkvader · « **Reply #419 on:** Fri, 25 May 2012, 09:02:06 »

How about fine sandpaper or my personal favourite heavy use.

Yeah, just some Krylon clear coat for plastic should work. I have used the triple coat before on my mouse and it is holding up well.

I agree 100%. Maybe i3oilermaker could test on the prototypes?

Sorry, I was thinking the prototypes were unusable.

Zehkul · « **Reply #424 on:** Fri, 25 May 2012, 09:31:40 »

You can test it with any SP abs key. Every group buy with full sets leaves you with plenty of unused keys, so go ahead and destroy some, if you think it’s worth it ;P

snowboarder3 · « **Reply #425 on:** Fri, 25 May 2012, 13:45:25 »

Maybe some sort of wax/polish?

Agree. It's the OP's call though.

OT: MagicM, how do you like the FC700R? I'm jelly and want a gray one, too.

kiczek · « **Reply #429 on:** Sat, 26 May 2012, 12:33:47 »

I am interested in the 15 + cue ball set how would I go about ordering or is it to late?

Djuzuh · « **Reply #430 on:** Sat, 26 May 2012, 12:35:34 »

Maybe you'll get to pick up the orders which seem to have been dropped.

i3oilermaker · « **Reply #431 on:** Sat, 26 May 2012, 13:28:51 »

I am dropping the 3 non-payers from the buy now.

There will be some extras, but they are not for sale yet. If you are interested keep an eye on this thread and I will post a sale date and time once all orders have shipped.

i3oilermaker · « **Reply #432 on:** Sat, 26 May 2012, 13:57:36 »

Prototypes are here and they look amazing!

Damn. I first bought two sets thinking about those who'll miss this GB, but now I'm pretty sure I'll keep the two sets for myself \o/

I’m rather unsure about my second set as well. It might end up framed on the wall.

I'm pretty sure I can find a suitable home for six sets. ;-)

Djuzuh · « **Reply #438 on:** Sat, 26 May 2012, 15:09:22 »

when looking at your sign and at the fact you ordered 6 sets, I don't know if I should congratulate you Megnin, or feel sorry for your wallet, or even both !

But I want to know something:
1) What do you do for a living ?
2) Is your compagny still hiring ?

megnin · « **Reply #440 on:** Sat, 26 May 2012, 20:38:45 »

Yeah, that. But I'm a web developer and the only programmer and database administrator in my company. It's kind of nice when your boss has no idea how you do your job, so he can't tell you ... how to do your job. I get to do projects the way I think they should be done.

I do feel sorry for my wallet, but my wallet will recover eventually and I'll still have all these keyboards. ;-)

Motherfuc*er - I discovered today, that I didn't charge ANYONE for shipping. I don't know how my spreadsheet got borked.

This is my mistake, I know, but if people could PLEASE submit a payment for the shipping that they selected, it would help me not loose enormous amounts of money on this buy.

I will update OP with people who paid shipping and their Orders will ship first.

MAJOR FACEPALM :doh::doh::doh::doh::doh::doh:

mayhemw1ns · « **Reply #448 on:** Thu, 31 May 2012, 09:39:36 »

Just sent shipping money.

*Edit - canceled payment. Looked like mine had shipping added to final invoice. Waiting for clarification before re-sending.

Soarer · « **Reply #449 on:** Thu, 31 May 2012, 09:42:52 »

You sure? My total seemed to include shipping.
