Contact Bongoojingie he purchased 4 extra sets to get this group buy rolling, he was going to post them on the classifieds after anyways, but if you message him now I'm sure you guys can set up something and just have \KL ship it straight to you

Might be image distortion but the arrow on Enter looks like it's pointing a bit down instead of straight to the left. Also the k in ScrLk seems to be too near the right edge of the cap. I'm glad we agreed on blank replacement caps for that Microsoft keys as those big ass *centered* logos will really stick out between all the other keys where the glyphs are neatly placed in the top left corner. Other than that I think they'll look great in person. Shame that SP doesn't seem to be able to afford a better camera and/or operate it at least halfway properly.

I am also quite sure the pics are way over exposed as evidenced by the glowing white cap above \|, so they'll be significantly darker in reality.

seth · « **Reply #405 on:** Thu, 24 November 2011, 04:04:22 »

It turned out pretty good.
I wish modifier keys were centred in height though.. But whatever

Good job KL. Is it shipping out this week?

keyboardlover · « **Reply #406 on:** Thu, 24 November 2011, 11:34:30 »

Production is ongoing. It will be some time before I receive them, and then there will be (short as possible) handling time.

No no = the keys are on the way. Those are empty boxes I picked up for shipping them out once I receive them =)

Btw, I'm on the east coast. Mid-Atlantic area.

Khenra · « **Reply #422 on:** Thu, 01 December 2011, 07:02:24 »

It's probably going to be a while before I recieve these over in Europe, but I am really looking forward to it. Hooray for \KL!

soulfree914 · « **Reply #423 on:** Thu, 01 December 2011, 07:18:24 »

That's awesome! Faster than expected.
Will you post any pictures of the actual keycaps, \KL?
Very eager to see the output!

keyboardlover · « **Reply #424 on:** Thu, 01 December 2011, 12:00:10 »

I will def post a pic when I get them.

Btw, estimated delivery date is tomorrow! =)

No, I figured those didn't have keys in them

Mid atlantic, cool, so mine should arrive quickly.

Make sure to take envious photos when the keys arrive, and before you ship them out.

All USA orders shipped today (OP updated). The rest will ship this week. =)

tsangan · « **Reply #437 on:** Sat, 03 December 2011, 13:28:17 »

They look solid I have to say, how to do they feel compared to Topre PBT?

Also how is the new universal space bar?

keyboardlover · « **Reply #438 on:** Sat, 03 December 2011, 13:34:59 »

Here are my first impressions:

Overall, the set is very close to what I expected. Not quite as thick as Topre PBT, but they feel solid and nice to type on. They are about as thick as the SP ABS doubleshots, but they feel more sturdy.

What I like:
1. Overall, they look and feel very solid. The set looks great overall.
2. The Universal spacebar fits my Leopold perfectly. I haven't tried it on my Filco yet.

What I don't like:
1. The Backspace lettering is not straight, as you can see in the photo. I plan to contact Melissa to ask for replacements.
2. The spacebar is a tad bit off color from the rest of the set, but not too bad. I believe that SP matched it as best they could, so this we can't do anything about.

jpm804 · « **Reply #439 on:** Sat, 03 December 2011, 13:42:53 »

Oh man...these look great. Thanks again to /KL for organizing this GB, thought I would never see a full dye sub keycap set on any of my mx cherry boards.

Can't wait to get them in and thanks on the quick turnaround on the shipping when they got to you...

\KL- any chance we use the same template but in different color schemes?

I noticed both of those things too =[ Wonder how replacements work...

Have you checked to see if they're all like that? Maybe you just opened the unlucky set of the group buy =P

Sure! Just contact Melissa. I would def be down for a "Red Alert" or "Blue Alert" Group Buy, if someone else wants to organize.

Quote from: Bongoojingie;463478

No, because I only had a half-hour or so to pack them up and get them to the post office before it closed. So, maybe before asking for replacements I'll wait to hear feedback from everyone. Shame, since they looked straight in the photo she sent me.

guilleguillaume · « **Reply #442 on:** Sat, 03 December 2011, 13:47:53 »

I rated you on the subforum, you deserve it! I will make the feedback when the keycaps are here.

They look very very nice, I like them a lot. The colour choice is fantastic and with these pics the colour looks better than expected. I'm so happy to have a set. When they get here I will compare them with the Realforce ones.

Thanks for organising this GB. Oh! And your keyboard looks suberb.

demik · « **Reply #443 on:** Sat, 03 December 2011, 13:51:12 »

Man I cannot wait to get my set. They look awesome.

Somebody start a dark grey red alert GB now!

dorkvader · « **Reply #444 on:** Sat, 03 December 2011, 13:53:34 »

Wow, looks great! I probably won't be using the spacebar, but the rest of the set looks excellent. I like the shape (concavity, etc) of the SP PBT keys, and I'm sure the feel will be excellent. Thanks!

keyboardlover · « **Reply #445 on:** Sat, 03 December 2011, 14:39:16 »

Thanks for the praise and nice words everyone. I truly hope you enjoy your sets. I know I am!

Also, thank poor Jim at the post office today. Here I come in 15 min. before close with 12 boxes and the poor guy's printer gets all jammed up. Here's to hoping that Jim doesn't "go postal". Poor guy was sweating by the time I left.

The test set's backspace looks straight, then it was screwed up for the actual run. SP needs to cover the shipping cost for their mistake. But overall looks good. Good job, KL!

And, what kind of girls comforter is that!!!

That's a nice quilt! My wife says the patterns on the fabric look old. Is it a family heirloom?

Also, the keys look good!

Haha thanks, I agree that it's a nice quilt

Not super old though...
