PHOTOS
Sorry for the poor quality... hopefully will replace with some good ones later if some group buy participates post them.  Obviously the pics with white mods have red alphas... I just haven't sorted two sets of alphas for pics.  But they are the same other than color.

Post delivery edit: Be really nailed them!  Line thickness and font aside (which we knew was off), they look spot on for renders!
I had these concepts done by the AMAZINGLY talented kaporkle (http://geekhack.org/index.php?action=profile;u=20953).  If you run a group buy in the future, get in touch with him.  He has *very* reasonable prices and is a nice guy all around.  (FYI, I'm paying for these out of my own pocket... they will not be taken from the Group Buy proceeds.)

INTRODUCTION
Like many of you, I've wanted a blue key set since I first saw the original Red Alert set.  I expected someone to jump in with a group buy eventually, but so far that hasn't happened.  Having run a successful group buy a year and a half ago (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=20058.0), I didn't expect to go through all that again… but I *really* want these! :)  Hopefully some of you guys do too.  Unlike some group buys, we're starting out with high-tier fixed prices and high hopes.  (see next post for more details)

THE GOODS
ALPHA SET
[attach=1]
UPDATE: The alpha set above is what was sold, but additional keys have since been added. (see here for more details (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=40520.msg828266#msg828266))

Update: Both Mod sets will also include a Geek Hack key in the color of the mods.

BLUE MODIFIER SET

WHITE MODIFIER SET
[attach=3]

NUMBER PAD SET

BLUE TSANGAN SET
[attach=5]

WHITE TSANGAN SET

ISO SET

PRICING
All pricing is USD and includes ALL FEES and extra costs.  What you see is what you pay, plus shipping.


SHIPPING
You'll should be pleased to know that I've arranged for Techkeys.us (http://techkeys.us) to pack and ship all orders. MANY thanks to i3oilermaker (http://geekhack.org/index.php?action=profile;u=16742) for that, he's been awesome in helping set this up. And he's quite the professional with his experience handling fulfillment.
Update: As much as I was hoping to have Techkeys.us do this, ends up we didn't have the order quantity to pay for sorting at SP, so I'll be doing the sorting and shipping to keep things in the green.  But don't worry, I'll limit my beer intake during the process.


TIME FRAME
Deadline: March 15th 18th, 2013 8am
Deadline: Passed


Payments will be collected as orders are placed, and we'll place the order with Signature Plastics soon after the deadline.
Expected keycap delivery:May-June, depending on SP lead-time. Will update after order is placed. (Update: SP says ~5 weeks when the order was placed. Note that I also have to sort and ship out after that.)


ORDER PROCESS
In an effort to streamline ordering/payment/fulfillment, all ordering will be done using PayPal.  Fill your cart with whichever sets you wish to order and checkout.

GROUP BUY PHILOSOPHY & TRANSPARENCY STATEMENT
There are a few different ways to run a group buy and none are perfect. I find that most are needlessly long.  (HUGE bravo to Matt3o's DSA Retro (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=40175.0)!) We could have a whole other discussion about the merits of interest checks, pricing tiers, order period length, etc… but my #1 goal is to get this started *and* finished quickly and efficiently.  To that end, I've chosen to do this a bit differently. 

Low upfront prices.  Simplified ordering.  Foolproof payments.  Professional fulfillment.  No extra fees.

I'm taking a slight gamble on the fact that we'll have enough interest to make this break even, but feel confident enough to try.  I can appreciate that some would have run this differently, but the beauty of running a group buy is that you're running a group buy.

While there are no rules regarding how group buys are run, I want to make my interests clear.  Though I've chosen to run this group buy a bit differently, this is in fact non-profit.  (Though, personally I don't have a problem with people making a reasonable profit on a group buy... whatever leads to more group buys!)

In the interest of transparency, the following expenses are included in the prices:
These are additional expenses:
If after the deadline:

Post-Order Recap

The final order (including vendor sets) was placed Wednesday, March 20th.  Set volumes are as follows:

Blue Mods:        130
White Mods:       65
Blue Tsangan:     56
White Tsangan:    35
ISO:              10
Numpad:           79


Total Collected (including shipping)
Collected from customers (after Paypal fees): $14,370.77
Collected from vendors: $1,442.82

$15,813.59

Total Signature Plastics Cost
Includes key caps, legends, and shipping
-$14,327.79

Estimated Shipping
Based on $7 (US), $17 (INTL) estimation
-$1,331

------------------------------

Profit/Loss:

$154.80

Edit after final shipping: Well... shipping was more than expected, packing materials added up, etc.  It was certainly an overall loss, but nothing to gripe about too much.  However, I'm officially retired from running group buys, as mandated by my wife.

Interesting country breakdown:

Saturday, February 23rd, 2013
While these are not sliding prices (like some group buys), I did make a price correct to the Tsangan kits from $25 to $20.  While volume on those isn't huge, the price was out of proportion with some of the other sets and there aren't too many extras I can add to those sets in the end to bring it in line.

Thursday, February 21st, 2013
Group buy began taking orders.

These look great! Good job.

Quick question about the modifiers. Will there be only one of each type as indicated in the preview images?
i.e. If I want two tux modifiers, will I need to buy 2x Mod kits?

Thanks in advance!

Truly amazing.  Love the setup, the Matt3o inspired buy in window with images/ prices ------ absolutely beautiful.

Because the deadline is on March 15th there's still heaps of time yet to buy in.

That is correct.  What you see is what you get. So you could use one of the two raindrop 1.25x keys on one side, or buy a second modifier set if you really want two.  But honestly, I'd imagine there will be plenty of users with tux keys they don't want/need.  Might be smarter to just hit up classifieds afterwards. :)

...Because the deadline is on March 15th there's still heaps of time yet to buy in.

That way people have TWO paydays if they're running tight on funds. :)  I was actually planning to do 2 weeks instead of 3, but I'll be on vacation the week before, so figured might as well wait.

Pretty nice set but I'm still puzzled,
the timing is kinda awkward imo: payment deadline will be almost the same than Klaxon and DSA retro... not to mention LZ-GH which already blew some wallets
for this exact reason I'm out, not that I can't live with it but it is what it is

Two great minds think alike. I've had the start of that order page done for about a month now as a few people can attest.  Just been a bit lazy getting it started.  What you did with your GB is amazing though... the main reason I went all cowboy up in this ***** with the fixed prices out of the gate was to avoid all the interest checks/tier BS.  But in hindsight, with your web app, it's not so bad. :)  Regardless, I'd be tickled if every group buy moved to some kind of a add-to-cart order form.  Just because it's a group buy doesn't mean it should be hard to order!

Yeah, sorry about that.  This is a group buy I've been preparing for a month or so and am late getting it started.  It originally was going to be a 2 week order window, but I extended it because of a vacation.  Just happened to end near others I guess.  But like the others, I'm sure extra sets of this will be resold by vendors and such if you desire it later.

Post by: Larken on Thu, 21 February 2013, 05:25:21
I actually prefer these speed buys by a long shot (if you can really call it as such - considering 'fast' is about 3-4 months lead time after payment). Only in geekhack is waiting more than a year for anything to get going the norm.

Love the look of the set, love the prices, and how shipping is going to be handled by a vendor. Only reason why I'm out is because I already have too many sets of keycaps coming in.

But the set does look really sweet, so I guess I'll be tossing back and forth until the deadline is nearer. Wonderful work on the set and process in any case.

I'd rather have cheaper prices if we hit higher tiers than more goodies. Is that going to be an option? Tsangans and mod sets can get pretty cheap in the higher quantities, or is that where you've baked in the new legend fees and other expenses instead of spread across all sets?

Even still, one alpha, two mods, two tsangans, and a numpad for $179 before shipping seems kinda pricey. Also no insight into number sold? Not comforting in my opinion on a group buy. Maybe I'm a conspiracy nut but transparency goes a long way.

Alright non profit is all well and good but if we don't know how many are being ordered how can we crunch the numbers to verify?

Also why do I have to receive more than I want instead of cheaper prices in the case of higher tiers being hit?

The transparency statement also doesn't make everything clear. A lot of what is being done can't be calculated until final numbers are known, yet money collection is already taking place......

Regarding transparency, I'll post set order counts and expenses and everything at the end. Everyone can verify I'm doing what I said I'd do.

As far as WHAT I'm doing, I don't expect everyone will appreciate it, but I'm happy with the overall balance and simplicity. Participating is optional and my goal isn't to set records for the biggest or absolute cheapest... It's to be one of the fastest, simplest, and smoothest. (If PayPal continues to cooperate.!)

Lets see how many more full key sets we can crank into the first three months of 2013! I need to start collection on Toxic and do a one week SkyWyRe first 100 orders sale.

j/k I won't do that to you guys :p

In the mod packs shouldn't there be two windows keys for a standard bottom row or is this not normal?

John

This is not normal. What you see is what you get.

I thought the same thing as jc.  Guess I'll be replacing the raindrops with half windows and half linux (and toss the mac)  :p

I'm pretty sure double win keys are the norm as all the custom sets I have/had have had 2xWin keys.  Hell, klaxon is even going to have them.

What I mean is that THIS group buy is not normal, in that I only have one of each OS key.  Not that having two windows keys wouldn't be normal. :) 

But all together for those 1.25x keys, you have two raindrops, a windows, a linux, and a mac.  If you want two of any of the OS keys, I'm sure it won't be too hard to do some trading with others.  (I sure as hell don't want a windows key anywhere near my keyboard!)

No, not in the sets.  If there's money left over I may be able to add some extra surprises to orders.  (likely by adding keys to the alpha and mod packs)  But highly speculative and this won't be determined until the chips are counted and order has a final quote at the end.

Unless you have a color chain, it's hard to get the true color from photos.  It's certainly not as dark as BO, but it's darker than some other blues that have been used.  For example, in my RGB group buy, I used BFN: http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=20058.0  And BFN was also used on the KeyPop Mana keys http://keypop.bigcartel.com/product/mana-bottle-keycap.  So this will be a bit darker than that.

Of course, all anodizing is a different shade... I have a blue anodized board coming soon, so I hope it matches close too.  Though, I know the Klaxon set will look good on blue too.  (And likewise, this blue will look good on a red anodized board, which I also have.)

It's all a crap shoot. Good luck!

Keep in mind that this mod set contains ~15 more keys than the standard SP mod set, including a space bar and some extra 1.25x keys (which cost more).  Not saying that should change your mind of course, but just FYI on *one* of the reasons it may be more than you expected.

Not sure i'm following you, If I compare this to a standard GB (taking the Toxic set as an example), than the alpha+white mod kit would essentially be a standard base kit correct? that would be $70 for 105 keys which is usually around $55?. if i add a mod kit im at $115 for 154 keys which is usually ~$75 no? I think what makes this slightly more difficult is that most of the price is on the mod kits instead of the "base" which means for people who want two mod kits its more expensive then standard GBs.
Not trying to threadcrap or anything like so im sorry if it comes off that way, i have several friend abroad who asked me to buy them a set if i think the price is reasonable so i'm just trying to make sure i understand,

I wish it was a real base set because now if I want to have white F1-F4+F9-F12, tilde, and | \ with blue mods then I have to order both mod sets. Maybe it was designed this way to force more mod sales? Doesn't seem necessary with a nice set like this though.

Me also, not trying to thread crap but is there no ESC key or somewhat typical Geek Hack key for thst spot? I hate to say this becsuse I mentioned no second Windows key and perceived it to not be taken well. This is not about colors, it just  seems that you should be able to remove all the caps from a standard board and replace them with a direct equivslent.

I will definately be in but will have to buy an ISO set, maybe, to get blanks for the ESC. Now that I think about it, the profile is probably wrong. Sorry, not an ISO guy.

Very sorry, I didn't mean to dismiss the lack of a second windows key. It's the only key that is missing from replacing an ASCII layout I suppose. I thought giving the other 1.25x keys would fill the void, but perhaps I'll add a second one just so we have a "stock" set.

The geekhack key is something I thought about too, but it would be an "extra" if possible at the end.

If you are considering adding extras (e.g. the Geek Hack key), I'd suggest you consider some of the following:

- WoB 'G' and 'H' keycaps
- WoB "traditional" mods
- BoW 'F5' through 'F8' keycaps
- Solid BLUE 1.25 R4 modifier (no Windows, no Penguin, etc.)
- Solid BLUE 1x R4 keys for people with odd keyboards
- Solid BLUE 1x R1 keys for people with odd keyboards
- Solid BLUE 1.5x R1 keys for people with Race keyboards

If you are not considering adding extras, then please consider the above not even suggested!

What about everyone else? Now everyone has to buy a $42 set of keys when we only need 10 of them if we don't want white modifiers. Maybe add a kit of F1-F4, F9-F12, "~`", and "\|". It would already be cheap since those keys are included in the white modifier set and would not get their own tier.

If you added "1!" through "=+" in WoB that would be a really cool option and people could do a blue accent stripe in conjunction with some of the WoB modifier set keys. Also the alpha set seems a bit expensive, base sets for Klaxon that include 8-10+ more keys were $23. Unless you are not over the 150 count yet, but If it happens then more discounts are always a good thing.

What about everyone else? Now everyone has to buy a $42 set of keys when we only need 10 of them if we don't want white modifiers. Maybe add a kit of F1-F4, F9-F12, "~`", and "\|". It would already be cheap since those keys are included in the white modifier set and would not get their own tier.

If you added "1!" through "=+" in WoB that would be a really cool option and people could do a blue accent stripe in conjunction with some of the WoB modifier set keys. Also the alpha set seems a bit expensive, base sets for Klaxon that include 8-10+ more keys were $23. Unless you are not over the 150 count yet, but If it happens then more discounts are always a good thing.

Thanks for the suggestions.  I'll consider some of those things.  Regardless of what I do, the sets and prices as they are now won't change in price.  (Though, more keys may be added as I'm comfortable that they can be.)

I had these concepts done by the AMAZINGLY talented kaporkle (http://geekhack.org/index.php?action=profile;u=20953).  If you run a group buy in the future, get in touch with him.  He has *very* reasonable prices and is a nice guy all around.  (FYI, I'm paying for these out of my own pocket... they will not be taken from the Group Buy proceeds.)


Because you put out your own money first in this venture, then I will have to buy some keys from you.  Anytime an Organizer pays out of his own pocket to see his vision materialize for everyone else to see, deserves our support.

Good job on this and thank the talented kaporkle for his efforts, makes it a lot easier to see what we're all going to buy.

I wish it was a real base set because now if I want to have white F1-F4+F9-F12, tilde, and | \ with blue mods then I have to order both mod sets. Maybe it was designed this way to force more mod sales? Doesn't seem necessary with a nice set like this though.

This is one of those minor things that an interest check stops from occurring.

Looking at the renders I've decided I do need a second mod (white) set.

Do I just use the order form and order 1 mod set, aggiejy will you be able to combine my order with previous one?

That's how GBs used to be run? What does "old school" mean exactly? I've only been here like 2 months and it seems like there's been a few smooth GBs (Klaxon, Toxic, LZ-GH).

Well, I'm glad you brought this up.  I could have sworn I added a shipping option early on (in my testing) for "Pickup" which would allow you to pick free shipping to add items.  But I guess I didn't... at least via the PayPal settings if you offer a cheaper method, it defaults to it 100% of the time on checkout.  This would be super confusing.  I'm working on a fix on the HTML side of things.  So webs0r, if you'd like to hold on a bit, I'll ping you when it's done.  Or I can manually bill you, but I'd prefer to have it all in PayPal the same way if possible. :)

You'll need to contact kaporkle (http://geekhack.org/index.php?action=profile;u=20953).  Up until I asked him to, he hadn't done a Filco-like frame or DCS profile keys.  It took a lot of time for him to get to this point, but I suspect it's fairly easy for him to render out different colors for future group buys assuming no additional modeling is required.  (or much anyway)  It takes him time, so I wouldn't ask him to do it for free though... but as I mentioned in the OP, his rates are very reasonable now that the hard part is over.  One of the hopes I had in contracting him was that more organizers would do the same.  I think a lot of great group buys get looked over due to hard-to-imagine descriptions and mockups.  (I know I passed on the original CCnG and wouldn't have with mockups like these!)

That is correct.  You don't need any tsangan kits for a Filco/QFR.  You can pick which mods set you want (white or blue) or you can get both if you want to mix and match.  You need the ISO kit and obviously you need the alphas.

I forget who does these amazing renders, but if she/he is looking to make a bit of keyboard money from doing them for people (which is awesome and totally legit), then I wouldn't be surprised if he came up with a full-size model, a 1.5x model, etc.

Maybe add a kit of F1-F4, F9-F12, "~`", and "\|". It would already be cheap since those keys are included in the white modifier set and would not get their own tier.

I really like that idea! I'd like it even more if you add a white space bar to that extra set :)

I would totally join that group buy if you offer this extra set.

There are so many awesome group buys right now (CCnG, Klaxon, Toxic) that I simply can't afford to buy two modifier sets just to get those 10 keys I want. I hope you reconsider and add an extra set for all the people that like the "normal" color scheme :)

i'd consider "normal" color scheme to be the flat color all white or all blue.

Yeah, it's interesting how trends start and persist. I find the alternating colors on the F row strange. Other than the nostalgia of the 80s ad 90s, seems like a pure color scheme should be dominant. Maybe different mod color, but even then... Seems like it's only normal because its normal.

Solid F-row Wyse style.  Alternating F-row Cherry style.  Pick your nostalgia.

Maybe add a kit of F1-F4, F9-F12, "~`", and "\|". It would already be cheap since those keys are included in the white modifier set and would not get their own tier.

I really like that idea! I'd like it even more if you add a white space bar to that extra set :)

I would totally join that group buy if you offer this extra set.

There are so many awesome group buys right now (CCnG, Klaxon, Toxic) that I simply can't afford to buy two modifier sets just to get those 10 keys I want. I hope you reconsider and add an extra set for all the people that like the "normal" color scheme :)


i'd consider "normal" color scheme to be the flat color all white or all blue.
dunno why people consider alternate colors to be "normal"

Well, it somehow got the norm (at least for me) because all group buys of the last months have this alternating color scheme on the F-Row.

But no matter what, OP decides what the set looks like and that's totally fine. I am just saying I'll probably pass this one :)

I know, I feel bad it's so much.  Though, keep in mind that it's $17 instead of $20-something of a small flat rate box or $40-something for a medium flat rate box.  So depending on how much you're shipping, it's a great deal.  :)

Yep, when you live in the land of convicts, you just about get use to being raped by postal charges on everything you buy from overseas.  You just need to harden up.

If I have to add up all the postal charges on everything I have bought for 2012, I could buy a brand new "Geely" the ugliest car you could buy here.

Haha, not your fault ;) Yeah, $17 ain't too bad for postage. We've definitely had worse!

BTW, I know this probably won't happen, but just thought I would put this out there: center-stemmed caps lock. Maybe if you get a crazy amount more orders than expected, you can put some thought towards that.

Already included! If you take a look at the mods set, you'll notice a stepped caps lock on the bottom row.  That *is* center stemmed.  (Off-center is in tsangan kit)  So you'll have two center stemmed caps... stepped and not stepped. :)

Yeah, I think there will be at least a couple of last minute buyers.

I am struggling with myself as well ... if there weren't so many awesome options (klaxon, toxic, CCnG) out there, this group buy would be a no-brainer for me. But since I also want all of the above I have to spend my money wisely ;)

If it helps you make your decision Toxic will not start collection for a month or two while we figure out Cherry legends. I'm also delaying because with Klaxon, Retro, CCnG round two, and RainDrop if I started collection any time soon I think I would have a ridiculous amount of cancellations. That doesn't even take into account any of the stuff selling from Originative, or about to go on sale there (KMAC2, Beige, Ollivetti, Dolch, geekhack SkiData, RGBs, springs, stickers, etc), or techkeys.us stuff like GirlDC caps and their normal goods, or LZ-GH and LZMXSE. Wallet hack indeed 2013 has turned out to be.

No.  Raindrop is SP profile, which is pretty close to Cherry profile.  FC700R uses a different, taller profile that we call "OEM".  Leo and Filco use OEM, and Ducky is pretty close also.

They'll be as shown.  I suppose I could add a return symbol to the top of the return key, but other than that they are the same.  Sadly, I only have like 6 ISO sets ordered so far, so they're going to be sold at a loss.

Hmm, sad to hear that you are selling ISO kits at a loss.

For me it makes a huge difference whether the Enter key is blank or not. If it's blank it ruins the whole symmetry of the set for me. I would really appreciate if you checked if it is possible or not. Or would it be even more of a loss for you if you add a legend?

Yeah luckily i think ive got 2 from valentines and maybe a couple from klaxon.

pending on my phantom r2 kit, once thats sold ill get in on this weeeee

Might be the wrong profile but WASD sells white spacebars.

I think the profile of the spacebar vs SP caps would be different.
Title: Re: RainDrop™ - Blue & White Key Cap Set (< 1 DAY LEFT!)
Post by: metalliqaz on Sun, 17 March 2013, 20:01:47
It will be, but by the nature of the space bar it is a variation that anyone can probably live with.  I'm using a OEM space bar with my SP profile keys.  As it turns out, some people do it on purpose because they don't like the "sharp" profile of the SP space.
Title: Re: RainDrop™ - Blue & White Key Cap Set (< 1 DAY LEFT!)
Post by: aggiejy on Sun, 17 March 2013, 20:06:07
Yeah, I use whatever space bar I find most comfortable... looking around the room, I don't think any of them match the profile of the keys. :)  The space bar is kind of a unique beast IMO... doesn't need to match.  (And some OEM sets don't IIRC.)

So close to being the perfect white/blue set but I'm not ordering two $42 sets just to get F5-F8 and "`~" + "\|" in the contrasting color I want. I hoped it would be added or tweaked but it never came together. Consider this constructive feedback so more people can participate in the future.

Just a question for clarification:

Are there no legends on the ISO Enter Keys?

They'll be as shown.  I suppose I could add a return symbol to the top of the return key, but other than that they are the same.  Sadly, I only have like 6 ISO sets ordered so far, so they're going to be sold at a loss.

IF the ISO key looks like the one in the Klaxon Group Buy

Show Image
(http://i978.photobucket.com/albums/ae270/tjcaustin/Klaxon/ISO_zps0a083dd8.jpg)


I would place my order now.

I would buy

1x base
1x mods blue
1x mods white
1x ISO

Can you confirm you will put the legend on it?

Well, in the case of the plastics company that this (and most) group buy uses, they seem to have a perpetual 5-8 week lead time.  I imagine the actual production doesn't take very long, but they do a lot of stuff.

Sorry zello, but I'm not taking any more orders right now.  However, Techkeys.us will be reselling some once they come in I think.  Best bet would be to signup on their newsletter so you get notified soon as possible.  (I bet they go fast)

Post by: aggiejy on Wed, 20 March 2013, 14:10:16
Good news everyone, the order has been submitted and paid and now is in queue!

Some details about the order can be found in the transparency post (bottom of the 2nd post in this thread (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=40520.msg803860#msg803860)).  In short, we got lucky with the pricing estimation... just about a break even! (Shipping and such TBD, but going by estimates.)  The drawback is that in order to meet this, I had to take over sorting/shipping, but not a huge deal.

Timing wasn't perfect with all of the group buys going on at once, but this is a decent turnout and I for one am excited for the keys! :)

One little surprise... after submitting the order, SP updated the pricing a bit and it turns out what they were quoting for my *very* limited alpha set was actually a few dollars more than their previously published prices on the now-defunct custom set ordering page.  Well, they graciously agreed to honor the old prices.  Not only would we have been in the red without that change... it also means you get:

[attachimg=1]

instead of

(http://geekhack.org/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=40520.0;attach=13959;image)


Yes, yes, if you ordered the white mods you already have those extra keys... enjoy the extra space bar on another set or something.  I'm also aware that had some of you known about these extra keys, that may have influenced you to buy a set when you otherwise didn't.  All I can say is that the original pricing calculations didn't work like this... and I couldn't seem to get a lower price for the original set.  So, deal with the extra keys people! :)  If you missed out, Techkeys.us will be selling some later, so sign up for their newsletter.  If you bought a set and don't want it, I'm sure a kind soul here will be happy to buy it from you.  (Just PM the address change.)

Thanks everyone for the support!

She says ~5 weeks in production. :)

PS: Also, I hope you guys enjoy that center-stemmed stepped cap!!! SP missed the fact that it was centered stemmed in their original quote.  Those ended up costing $3-4 EACH depending on the color!

No no, he's just talking about the newsletter email.  There is no order email.  I thought about automatically subscribing everyone who ordered, but thought that might be a bit spammy.  (I'll never post something on email that I don't post here.)

Yeah, I have a feeling the resell market on these will be tough given how few are being made. (162)  Techkeys will have a limited number of alpha+bluemod sets for sale.  If they turn out good and demand is there, perhaps someone will run a followup group buy in the future similar to after CCnG and RedAlert.  (Won't be me though!)

FYI, 7bit posted pictures of the (infamous) Round 4 group buy, which finally shipped.  I believe the spherical used the same color as we did, if you want to get a better picture of what to expect:

Also, Melissa says they're still on track to ship (to me) by the 5 week mark (April 24th).  Actual production of the keycaps hasn't begun, but they've cut a few of the new legends and no problems so far. :)

I have lost keeping track of what I have been ordering in this keycap buying stupor.

Here it is at least for my own cognition.
1   Alpha Set
1   Blue Modifier Set
ordered on march 18th.

down goes 74$ more to the ever expanding keycap sinkhole.

The Group Buy ordering process is over and they are now currently in production. Once the keycaps are made, they will be sent to aggiejy, who will sort and ship them to those that placed an order.

For those that missed out on the opportunity to purchase these key caps will either find someone selling theirs in the Classifieds section, or you can buy them from vendors such as TechKeys (http://techkeys.us).

As of right now though, no body has them yet.  ;D

Hope that helps!

Alright, in interest of getting pictures to you sooner than later, these are the blue mods, but note that these are not the white alphas.  I haven't unboxed those yet, these are the off-white alphas from my Originative cherry set.  (So the font won't look like that.)  Will post with the actual alphas when I get them unboxed.

[attachimg=1]

Sorry for the poor iPhone shot, skewed, etc.

All of the keys look great, except that silly tab key with the thick lines.  I just saw 7bit mention that about Round 4 keysets too.  That's their legend though... it matches the thickness of the \ key and such... it is what it is.  In the future, hopefully a group buy will do a custom legend for that to make it the same thickness as the enter/shift/caps lines.

No, but just looking at the legends they do.  If you flip one of Sherry's over, it's a very bold and bright blue. (Like a primary color)  IMO, it'd be TOO blue for mods.

Hmm... I think I'm going to have to sell my modifier sets. I'm going to be getting one white and one blue. Let me know if anyone is interested.

EDIT: unloaded the white set. Still trying to find a home for the blue mods.

ANOTHER EDIT: Bah, I should probably sell my set completely. As much as I would love to keep it, I could really use the extra cash to fix up my RainDrop road bike. If anyone who missed out on this GB wants in, I'm selling my white alphas + blue mods at GB price: $74 shipped in the US. or an extra $10 to Aggie if you need it shipped internationally.

FINAL EDIT: My RainDrop sets have been passed on. I will be buying a pair of blue and white road tires with the money. Thanks guys.

You are getting ONE GH key per mod set.  It's basically just another key in the mod set, same color as the set you got.

This picture shows exactly what you get per set (which is the same as my mockups, except with the additional bonus keys).  This shows a blue mod set and the alpha set.

Just blue, i'm trying to work out a deal with khaangaaroo to buy his white modifiers too though. If you can add the modifier from his order to mine after I pay him then we can swap for both modifiers. Let me know if you can adjust our orders, sorry for all the trouble  :(

I take it they are just in bags all on their own so you really have to sort everything?
I'd say use some little Tupperware containers on your desk or counter and just unload 1 of each key into each and go through them somewhat "quickly"

I had that legend made (to this size, 7bit did a huge one before too).  PLEASE consider adding it to your group buys.  In fact, I'll even give you the $45 to make a different sized legend if you want.  It's just nice to have something other than a windows key every now and then.

Yes but a command key is worse! :p

But imagine being surround by all those beautiful keycaps... :P It'll be painful to see the majority of them go but it'll be worth it. It's like having a dog and then he/she has puppies but you have to sell them :))

He considered that, it was way too expensive.


In the interest of transparency, the following expenses are included in the prices:
  • PayPal: 3.9%
  • Fulfillment: 3% (paid to TechKeys.us (http://techkeys.us), who I picked to pack/ship)
  • Sorting: $0.05 per key (paid to Signature Plastics)
  • It turns out that sorting from SP would be $800+, which we don't have. So I'll be sorting myself. JOY! :)  Since I'm sorting, I'll ship too.

Post by: aggiejy on Sat, 11 May 2013, 08:41:33
The first post has been updated, but repeated here:

You should have received a Stamps.com shipping notice to your PayPal email address.  All US and Canada orders will be shipped today. (Turns out you can't split a SCAN form, so they all have to ship together... Monday.)  Because Stamps.com did some reformatting of international addresses, I've decided to hold all other international packages until Monday.  PLEASE CHECK TO MAKE SURE THE ADDRESS IN YOUR CONFIRMATION EMAIL WILL GET THE PACKAGE TO YOU.

Otherwise, expect to see either a brown box or a small flat rate box soon!

[attachimg=1]

If anyone has missing keys OR extra keys, please email or PM me ASAP.  I individually weighed EVERY set as I packed, to the nearest 1/10th of a gram.  So I know for near certainly you should have the right number of keys in each at least, but errors are still possible.

I love those RainDrop stickers you put on the shipping boxes! This is why I wanted you to run a GB, you so pro! :P

Seriously, though, thank you for organizing this AND for doing the tedious work of sorting and packing everything SO quickly. It is very much appreciated. <3

Hopefully the USPS doesn't think that sticker means there is liquid inside...

Post by: aggiejy on Sat, 11 May 2013, 09:13:24
I jumped the gun a bit.  I had planned to ship US and Canada today, but unfortunately I already printed the SCAN form last night for the whole batch.  Turns out, Stamps.com/USPS doesn't let me cancel that one and make new ones.  Without it, the post office would need to scan each package individually. 

Long story short, I've decided to hold ALL of the shipments until Monday.  I apologize for getting hopes up for US/Canada folks. :(

Hello--Thanks for all of your effort the keys are great.  it so happens tho I am missing a '5' key on the num pad x.x   if you or anybody happens to find they have an extra it would be extra great.

thanks..

I weighed every bag to ensure no missing keys except a handful of the num pads.  So if any have a missing key (without a matching extra key), those would be it.  Do me a favor and double check to make sure it's not hidden in there somewhere, and that you don't have any extra keys of something else.  I'll check through my extras and get you a new one in the mail if not.

Weighing the keys... genius!

I had to buy a new scale to be precise enough.  A 1x keycaps weighs about 1 gram.  I made sure all sets that I weighed were within a couple tenths of a gram.  I could even tell if I left the spacebar wrapper on or not inside of the bag.  (Or which brand of bag it was, even though they were the same size/thickness-rated.)  That little scale is cool! :)

I was looking at one almost like that, but found this little guy (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0012N1NAA/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) for super cheap on Amazon Prime with good reviews.  It's much smaller than in the picture, but I just tare a cup on it or something and put whatever I want on the top.  It's only for really small stuff.  I think over a pound and I have to use my other scale.  (which only does .5 ounce increments)

This new one will be my new hop-measuring scale for my beer brewing. :)

In the mean time, imagine me ditching all the goodies so I could enjoy 20 minutes of Ball in a Cup action. I plan on upgrading to Kendama eventually too!

Sure did. No choice if I wanted to get the keys.
Though it actually was not more than the keys.

The picture might be misleading. There is multiple sets in that pile.
My keycap addiction is very severe. I almost always buy more that one set.
That way it don't feel as bad when using them. I always have a set that is in mint condition.

Yes, I am waiting for them too and I also believe customs has them.

I can almost guarantee you they will tax it as they got shipments to at least two different people in the same city coming from one person which reeks commercial, and god help us if the customs form is marked the original price as thats easily another $20.

Also, I asked for the customs form to be marked down a few pages into this thread but aggiejy never responded which I should have followed up on.

Now I see people receiving it in a box instead of a large bubble mailer which is the preferred method to ship internationally.
You might as well just put a sign on it saying TAX ME.

Hopefully I am wrong and CP is just taking its usual sweet time but now that the Tai Hao GB is $8 for a 104/DS set, it will really sting if we get zapped at customs.

Received them about a half hour ago at work.

PHEW  ;D  :eek:  :p

Inspite of the box being marked with the full US$87, it managed to not get taxed.
Hopefully, the other person from Toronto has the same to report.

FYI for future group buys being shipped to Canada, mark it less than US$20 [use cent values as well] and they cant legally tax us and it looks a lot less suspicious.

Will advise if any missing keys found.
Didnt clue in to what it was from the pic on the first page but the sticker on the side of the shipping box was a nice touch ;)

great looking set.

unfortunately, i wasn't able to join this gb.
fortunately, i was able to grab a set from techkeys.
need to be more vigilant on new sets.

Tell me about it! Note through the door on Saturday saying they won't deliver the parcel until I pay taxes - £23.68!!! Next group buy hopefully I can convince the sender to put it down as a gift because that adds like 30% to the cost of the set, and sets aren't exactly cheap to start with.

Now I just have to wait for my second Filco to arrive and I'll see what they look like on a real board. Obviously I've already had them laid out on the table deciding where to put all the different special keys :D

My wallet hurts, but thanks Justin, really well done. I got some glow in the dark vampire teeth with my set :D

If history repeats itself, it seems like popular sets (in high demand) repeat themselves a year or so later.  Just takes someone with the means and desire to run a group buy to step up.  (Not for the faint of heart, people lacking in time, or people worried about the possibility of losing money.)  But surely someone will come along eventually if demand is there.  If so, hopefully it's not an exact copy, but instead some improvements to keep things fresh.  Maybe a slightly different shade, etc.

I was not on the board when this set came out for group buy and I guess techkeys is already out. I am interested in purchasing any part of your order that is left over. I particularly need a return key, umbrella, both control keys, spacebar -blue or white, 2 windows keys, a function key, and both shift keys. I prefer blue but will take either. Alpha sets are also welcome. Thanks.

That is true, but doing everything only once would just lead to insane prices in the classifieds. There shouldn't be an elitist group of people who own certain sets because they were lucky enough to be around / have enough funds when they happened.

I think the best approach is to redo the most popular sets with little changes: Keep the color scheme (for which most people buy a set) but change the special keys. Like in this case replace the raindrop with a wave or something :)

That's a good idea on the wave. And I agree with you on the classifieds part, this community is only going to keep growing and it's already pretty competitive picking up rare sets in the marketplace.

I agree with you bunny
A compromise could be having a re-run for only the alphas;
It would let those who missed out still get a piece of the action while maintaining some charm of the set (scarcity of the unique mods)
That being said, if enough people get money together and throw it at a supplier (GB), I doubt they would say no to the $.

nobody is denying you anything, i was offering my opinion, the same way you are so keen to offer yours, im sorry i disagree with you, and i am not about making elitist groups, i dont wanna cap gbs at a certain number, but i think by constantly rerunning gbs, it doesnt encourage people to order while they have the chance, which is the lifeblood of any groupbuy, the goal is to hit as high of a number as you can, the trouble with it becoming common place to continually rerun gbs is that when a gb comes up, its easy to think i wont take the risk this time, ill see how it comes out and jump on the next run

I don't think anyone is denying anybody, like I said if you give your money to the company making it you can get a set (except for the copyright protected images)
The reason people do group buys is because it's cost prohibitive to get a single set made, but again if you throw a couple hundo at SP I bet you can get any set they've done before made special for you
Clacks and all other copyright keys are under their control like you said

yea, a $100 clack would be rare, it'd have to be all beat up to be that cheap :-p

I personally don't mind re-runs of GBs, sure it will lower the value of my set but who is in here to buy and sell for profit? I rather have the love spread so everyone can enjoy/show off their awesome boards and help grow the community.

Post by: aggiejy on Mon, 26 August 2013, 13:06:31
I don't mind re-runs either, but as I stated previously, I'm not going to do another group buy.  So if someone wants this set made, step up and get prepared to lose money and time! ;-)

That said, some Chinese company wanted permission to use my logos and such to do a reprint.  I told them no (since it wouldn't be a group buy here) but that of course doesn't preclude them from doing the set with other legends.  I don't know if that progressed, but the point is that perhaps you'll see copies start showing up on ebay or taobao eventually.
Title: Re: RainDrop - Blue & White Key Cap Set (SHIPPED)
Post by: audukent on Mon, 26 August 2013, 13:15:31
I guess I would agree with BunnyLakes here.  I'm sad I've missed several group buys (this one included) at this point (due to financial reasons/timing), but I guess that's what makes the classifieds section, group buys section, and the community as a whole so appealing to me.   

With the classifieds, I've seen sets up for sale and typically at cost or even less.  Sometimes, yes they will be at a premium, but that's the cost for not joining the GB and showing your dedication for purchasing that set.  Yeah, you might not have been a GHer when the gb was active, but now you are. There are plenty of sets to be had in the future and I think providing options allows for a more diverse community. So if your interested in a old set, check out the classified section - someone might be willing to part with theirs.

In terms of the group buys, I'd really like to see different sets coming out versus repeats.  These group buys take a long time to put together and frankly, if you go for something because it catches your eye, that's your choice.  Your rewarded with having the set.  The point of the gb's aren't to create envy or to sell at premiums.  If you didn't join the group buy and decided you want the set later, refer to the classified!

Tie all of this together and you'll realize this is exactly the reason why some people are a part of this forum. (not necessarily me)

After a GB with a set like this, some sets appear in classifieds for sald, or mostly for trade.

Then everyone who wants a set has a set, and everyone who missed out are sad pandas.

A re-run a year or more later would allow the new generation of keyboard enthusiasts to share in the joy of owning that particular set.

Adding Cherry legends on top makes it that much more desirable, even for those who managed to get in on the first GB.

Plus some of those who purchased the first set might sell them cheaply in order to obtain the second Cherry-legended set, making an entry into collecting slightly more attractive for new members.

Yeah, if this set is done again, I hope whoever does it finds a better blue.  This one was a bit dull.  But, it was the least dull of the blues on my color ring except for the solid blue color, which seemed a bit too much.  The perfect blue would IMO would be something like the GMK blue arrow keys that EliteKeyboards has sold.  Not sure if that would require getting SP to do a special mix or what.  (And cherry legends!)

I don't get why you guys won't grant everybody the chance to enjoy a beautiful set?

The idea of having something others aren't allowed to have is so childish in my opinion. Shouldn't we share as a community?

If you wanna have something rare buy a 100$ clack but leave the sets to us poor users :D

nobody is denying you anything, i was offering my opinion, the same way you are so keen to offer yours, im sorry i disagree with you, and i am not about making elitist groups, i dont wanna cap gbs at a certain number, but i think by constantly rerunning gbs, it doesnt encourage people to order while they have the chance, which is the lifeblood of any groupbuy, the goal is to hit as high of a number as you can, the trouble with it becoming common place to continually rerun gbs is that when a gb comes up, its easy to think i wont take the risk this time, ill see how it comes out and jump on the next run

correct me if i'm wrong, but i don't think this is a valid concern. the GB followup (or round x, if you will) is never certain (at least not from what i saw in my short stay here so far) and even if it is, there's no way to tell WHEN it's happening. this leads me to think that it's ok to have additional rounds, if they're not too frequent (which hasn't happened so far, has it?)

take me as an example. only into the whole mech boards thingy last year, got here only a couple of months ago and there's a ton of stuff i missed out on during 2013 so far (ccng round 2 pisses me off the most) and i'd love to have next rounds, but i'm in no hurry by any means and willing to wait. if there's no additional rounds, so be it, i'll keep an eye out on the classifieds :)

I don't mind re-runs either, but as I stated previously, I'm not going to do another group buy.  So if someone wants this set made, step up and get prepared to lose money and time! ;-)

That said, some Chinese company wanted permission to use my logos and such to do a reprint.  I told them no (since it wouldn't be a group buy here) but that of course doesn't preclude them from doing the set with other legends.  I don't know if that progressed, but the point is that perhaps you'll see copies start showing up on ebay or taobao eventually.

Yes it does progress. You can't imagine how pricey this set is in China. I didn't join this GB just because the F1-F12 keys were all blue initially and now I hate myself for not grabbing three or even four sets.

It's WYSE font. IIRC the lily set, ccng, Valentines, and klaxon sets also use it.

Will R2 be the same lighter blue?

If it was a darker blue, like royal blue for example, it would be closer to this:

pretty much is the cost of a full set of custom keys.
Unless you're spoiled by Massdrop's cheap prices, or Tai Hao keysets.
Or the cheap EK pad printed ones.

IMSTO, Feng, and Qtan sell like basic sets at $50+, special sets are $90+
From my experience, pretty much a full SP set is always going to be around this price, if not more

You don't need to insult me. I just find that it's a lot for a set, when non-custom sets which are still quite good can be found for better prices. I completely understand that the custom puts o premium on the keys, that's not an issue that you need to discuss with me considering that I mentioned it already.

You don't need to insult me. I just find that it's a lot for a set, when non-custom sets which are still quite good can be found for better prices. I completely understand that the custom puts o premium on the keys, that's not an issue that you need to discuss with me considering that I mentioned it already.

where am i insulting you???
i was informing you this is pretty much the going rate for a full keycap set.
Unless it was a mass production set.  Dunno why you think im insulting you.

He thinks spoiled is an insult  ^-^
