[Order Sent on 8/17] Nyan Cat
« on: Sat, 12 May 2012, 22:12:51 »


The Nyan Cat Up and Down keys will start at the 1000 tier.  The Nyan Cat Backspace will start at the 100 tier.  I'm that confident geekhack can reach these prices with the amount of interest we had in the past few months.

I will confirm the prices for PBT Dye-sub on Monday with SP.  PRICES MIGHT BE LOWER!

We will be redesigning the legend for a new backspace to fix the left alignment.  A small legend fee (~$45 to $80) will be added which will be divided into each order.

1 FULL SET consists of:

1 x Backspace
7 x Up
6 x Down

A full set means all the keys behind the backspace which is from ` to = or ~ to +. 

Prices

Nyan Cat BackSpace

25 tier - $7.90 / key
50 tier - $5.15 / key
75 tier - $4.25 / key
100 tier - $3.78 / key
250 tier - $2.96 / key
500 tier - $2.69 / key

Nyan Cat Set (1 x Backspace - 7 x Up - 6 x Down = 14 total keys)

25 sets          $29.51 / set
50 sets          $24.98 / set
75 sets          $23.47 / set
100 sets        $22.71 / set
150 sets        $21.96 / set
200 sets        $21.58 / set
250 sets        $21.36 / set
500 sets        $20.90 / set

+$40 setup charge (not $80)

The fee would be divided into each set as well which has not been added yet!

Shipping

If you reside in the Los Angeles / San Gabriel Valley area, then you can save on shipping by picking up the keys.  I will be glad to save you guys extra!

Bubble Mailer
$4 US
$6.50 Canada
$8 International

Flat Rate (might be needed for 1 whole set or more)
$7 US
$15 Canada
$20 International

Prices for invoice will be sent after the group buy is done!

Guys,


Sherryton and I are both doing this together. You may or not know we both are running KeyboardStory together. This won't be a sale and there is no profit to be made. Just offering this group buy again, since so many people missed out.

White,

We tested a very light blue before, and even then it tainted the color of the legends. Believe me, it will not be as nice with non-white keys.

Perfect! Just wanted to make sure. Ordered two. One just in-case the little bro back at home wants his own.

No, you do not have to buy a full set.  Just sent order at the end of the message as

1 x Backspace
3 x Up
1 x Down

Actually, you do not even need to buy the backspace!

It might be
7 x Up
6 x Down
1 x Backspace

depending on how you perceive the trail!

This order is silly. Should probably want 2 down. But w/e Sherryton just rolls this way.

It's the "orientation" of the rainbow "bits" at the edge of a key. On the up key, the bits on the edges are higher "up". And similarly for the down key.

Meh, now that I've found a set !

Would be nice that it is a bit different than the other set, to motivate those who have the old set, and also to have something new

 But I can't think of a modification that would be as awesome as this one, since another backgroud color doesn't work apparently, and there is no variation (metal nyancat, troll nyancat, etc…) as known as this one, and we can't really change the direction or whatever.

Djuzuh, that's no reason not to order more! =p

I was thinking maybe one of the keys could have some sort of geekhack text on it, but I'm not too artistic so I wouldn't know how to do that.
