If they can get the boards to iMav by tomorrow night, hopefully he can start handling the shipping payment over the weekend, and start shipping them to us on Monday!

EE637975015TW - Through Customs in O'Hare and shipped, yesterday!

This package showed up today! It contains one poker keyboard and miscellaneous replacement parts (in case there are any issues with the other 'boards).

So, I expect to see the rest of them either this week or the beginning of next.

Once I receive them and evaluate what will be needed to ship them individually to you (boxes, packing material, etc) I will determine shipping costs to you and be in contact with you individually for payment (some non-US folks will have options for shipping as I told you we would work on the lowest possible shipping options).

Seeing as how it costs $12 to ship me two keycaps I'm not so sure about the lowest shipping options this time around. :I

Are you referring to the Round 3 group buy? I'm just the laborer...there are no shipping options. Everything goes out USPS Priority. With the poker orders, I will send out via the carrier you choose.

Since the keyboards are coming in BIG boxes, I have to buy smaller boxes for shipping individually. Once those arrive and I can weigh the packages, you can shop around as well as I can. I will ship via any method you request...as long as the package can be dropped off at a location within 40 miles of my location (or a pick up can be scheduled).

If no preference is stated, I will use USPS.

I have received the following two packages:

EE637975038TW
EE637975015TW

Unfortunately, one is the key caps and the other is spare parts (loose switches and so forth). The BIG boxes all appear to be held up in Chicago (customs, perhaps).

Spare parts, eh? I might be interested in a few of them, if you have any left after shipping out the boards.

The two small boxes were FAST. The big boxes have been hanging out in Chicago for quite a while now.

iMav, how is communication with KBC? Do you think they will be able to do a firmware improvement and make the top/left corner key output backtick/tilde in Escape-lock mode when FN is held down?

Does it only output escape after the escape-lock key combo? I haven't received mine yet, so I'm just curious.

noodles256 · « **Reply #581 on:** Mon, 18 July 2011, 20:44:25 »

they do look very nice

sordna · « **Reply #582 on:** Mon, 18 July 2011, 20:46:52 »

In regular mode, it outputs ` or ~ normally, and Escape with the FN key.
In escape-lock mode, it outputs Escape always, even with FN key pressed. For vi/unix users, who rely on escape a lot but still want easy access to backticks/tilde, it would be very convenient to reverse the behavior in Escape-lock mode, and have FN+the escape key output `/~

Oh that sucks, I use ~ and esc all the time. I was assuming it would behave the way you described it.

But then it wouldn't be escape-LOCK!

Same here, I turned on Escape-lock, and sacrificed the Menu button to make it `/~ (using xmodmap). iMav kinda dodged my question though. I still wonder, will KBC entertain enhancement requests for future revisions?

That engraved set looks beautiful. I was of the impression that they were similar to the ones imsto were selling when the pre-ordered started, looks like I was wrong.

I'm totally in round two if only for a set of those keycaps. I had no idea what I was passing on when I placed my order. Very nice.

The vendor ("VorTex") had submitted an official inquiry with EWS to find out why the keyboards have been sitting in customs for a week. How we get movement on those packages soon!

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #593 on:** Wed, 20 July 2011, 11:11:12 »

Probably being held for inspection. Hopefully all the customs paperwork and import duties were in order. It would suck if customs rejected it and sent it back.
I had that happen to me when I ordered a large quantity of the same item to give out. Customs decided it was for commercial use and rejected it since the declaration wasn't filed as commercial merchandise and no import duties had been paid in advance.

If the item value is properly declared, you can imagine how $Cost + keyboards would make most people gasp. "This box of keyboards is worth how much???"
