Double shot replacements ROUND THREE: Vote for Kits & Quantities!

[noodles256]

what does the solutor think of your new xarmor

[7bit]

AFAIK Signature Plastics is the only modern outfit that insists Back Space is two words.

This was my intention. On keyboards from the good old times, it is usually BACK SPACE and not one word.

From Group Buy One

At least we know the godawful font they use now.  It's in the Key Reference Wiki.  Never heard of it and a search for a sample set was fruitless.

Round 4 needs to have a BACKDATASSUP key. If iMav's kids are helping to sort, he can tell them it's a Back Datas, sup key.

 ^^^ What should BACKDATASSUP be good for?

Yeah, they actually are a bit thicker than the rest of the keys. Its not really that noticeable though, imo.

 
I've told her to make them all the same, except where the text won't fit.

Good point.

What's going to happen with these reversed ones?

 
I actually like the disapproval guy to be the other way round.

They will be awesome.

Except for those dyslexia problems.
ಠ_ಠ

 
I don't like the reinforcements of the clear keys.

Seems SP can't get ANYTHING right or the way it should be!

ps: Luckily, I gave my clears away. :evil:

Well, I assume it's even more noticable in real life than in the photo.

For the price we're paying, there really are a very disappointing number of errors :-(

 
I aggree.

If your are dissatisfied with your keys, you will get a replacement along with the keys from the next group buy.

- the UNIONJACK will be for free (was my fault)
- Look of disapproval looks OK. Don't see here a reason to complain.
- CAPS LOCK^-1 is not OK, I try to get a replacement as fast as possible!
- too large Text on BACK SPACE and CAPS LOCK is intolerable. There will be a replacement. If SP says no, there will be a replacement along with Round 4 keys.
- I will ask about the clear keys, but I'm afraid, these are not done with the same tools as the other keys, for some tehnical reason.

[Soarer]

SP cannot say no to replacing at least those BACK SPACE and CAPS LOCK keys, due to the font!
(And of course the stepped CAPS).

I think: compile a full list of errors and present it to them, if we then back down and say that just those keys that are way off need replacing, they should be grateful!

[alaricljs]

Don't know what sort of plastics SP uses, but Lego clear items are reinforced due to the clear plastic not being as tough as the colored stuff.

ABS same as Lego.

[noodles256]

what is wrong with the clear keys reinforcements? they look fine to me

[Evil_Spork]

- Look of disapproval looks OK. Don't see here a reason to complain.

If the LOD key was some abstract made up concept from us, perhaps, but it is a well established shape and character. It can't just arbitrarily be reversed. We sent them the proper graphic as well.

I bet they made it up with O's, J's and .'s, rather than using some non-existant, obscure, futuristic UTF-weirdness.

[NOMiS]

I'm actually glad I didn't get look of disapproval keys because of that. Maybe the next group buy they will be fixed and I'll get some.

When can we expect orders to be shipped to Canada?

Just got my prepared to ship email still, no shipping confirmation.

Thanks

^^^ Is that a Canadian calendar? If so, I bet today is more on the top left and delivery date is somewhere on the bottom right.
 

How about if they redo that Reddit batch and toss these in for free as compensation?

 ┌─┐

 ^^^ should fit on a numpad + or Enter key.

ps: or on one of these big-ass returns.

[noodles256]

I remember seeing this calendar when i firsts registered.

i haven't looked back since

[Lpb45]

pretty disgusted at the shear amount of mistakes SP has made with this order.  Really though printing a key upside down and not even catching it?  I would be fired from my job for mistakes much less.  If they refuse to fix these errors I dont think I will be participating in the next round,  I refuse to give my money to a company like that (If they will not replace the mistakes).

[noodles256]

yea, its very disappointing see how many mistakes they made

[digitalleftovers]

I think the caps lock is the only egregious mistake.  Anyone who used or even looked at a few old keyboards would see that and say "Something is off about this."  So, for a company that makes keyboard keys to just print them upside down is pretty silly.

Hoping round 4 goes a bit faster.

Me too, spherical cap are hot.

[manfaux]

so we'll get a final shipping notification after everything has been shipped ,  ?

Yes, you get an email. Look at your final invoice, it should contain your invoice # and give you some idea of how long it will take your package to ship. Think 36 have shipped so far, i'm 190 or so which means it will be by the end of next week at the earliest for me, or maybe even 3 weeks.

[xbb]

you are lucky I'm 261

[hottrout]

Well I am #153 and I live in Ireland so I guess I cant expect to see keycaps for weeks yet

nice, that makes sense.

im #83, looks like not too far away! yay!

[explicit]

Ok i was not entirely correct, the first orders that have shipped were simple orders to people in the US. So us international people with alot of stuff in our invoice might get served last regardless of invoice #. I'll just assume another 4 weeks for my own order and be pleasently surprised if they arrive sooner:p

Do the moogle kits have the same defects?

Hmm, atleast I should be head in in larger EU orders :)

Fixed for SP ;D

[DaemonRaccoon]

I still have yet to receive my keys. This is ridiculous, I live 3 hours away from iMav, and have received the confirmation of shipment.

[DaemonRaccoon]

ಥ_ಥ

My kingdom for answers!

[daerid]

I've purchased a couple VIM keys and 3 of the GH keys, and haven't received any info other than "you're all good". Don't feel too bad.

[calavera]

Do the moogle kits have the same defects?

I'm wondering this too. I would guess since they're all from the same batch, the messed up capslock and backspace is the same for the moogle kit.
