Ummm, I'm not really understanding why you re-posted that picture. Was there meant to be something more?Maybe to show the underlying structure and thickness of the caps?
Yes, exactly!Ummm, I'm not really understanding why you re-posted that picture. Was there meant to be something more?Maybe to show the underlying structure and thickness of the caps?

How exactly do these differ from DSA Keycaps, are they flatter ?Based on what they said from the GB page, they use the DSA spacebar, i assume the hight should be similar. The difference i can tell is the finish of the surface and their keys are significant thicker.
It seems the height is not exactly similar. Here (http://imgur.com/gallery/wOrtx) you can find some detailed comparisonThere we go, thats the kind of keyboard science we're looking for. ;)
What is the expected ship date for the US?

Skidata & Rad-Away Group-Buy Update
Thank you all for making the first Devlin keyset group-buys a success!
Before giving an update on the status of the group-buy I first would like to offer my apologies for the lack of communication over the last 3 weeks, The Christmas and New Year break was a turbulent time for the future of UKKeycaps and MechSupply and the business is now starting to recover.
Unfortunately, due to these internal pressures and external delays (Devlin & Signature Plastics) the estimated shipping date has been delayed by 6 weeks to the 21st of February. This shipping date is an estimate and is not guaranteed (such is the nature of group-buys!) and I offer my apologies for this delay.
Additionally Devlin has let me know of some issues during the manufacturer of the keycaps to the original design, unfortunately after the order was placed. The K-Series Rad-Away Planck keyset will NOT have homing bumps, according to Devlin this is due to a lack of tooling, simply meaning they do not have the mould to create these keys. The keyset will be supplied in full, however the F and J key will not have homing bumps.
Devlin have also informed me that they do not have the moulds for 2.25u and 2.75u keycaps in Q-Series, and instead these keycaps will be produced in QS-Series for the Skidata set. QS-Series is essentially Q-Series but with a slightly profiled bottom edge. Therefore this change will make only a slight visual change to the keyset and no functional change. An image of the two profiles is shown below - the QS key is on the left and in use the raised profiled edge is on the bottom of the keycap. Please note the Q-Series Skidata set WILL have homing bumps.
Taking into account these changes and the delay, if any customer would like a full refund you can reply to this email requesting so. You can also do so via the contact form on the website at anytime. Apologies again for any inconvinience.
Changing Q-Series to QS-Series profiles is "only a slight visual change" and "no functional change"?

...Are you sure about that?
Sorry I'm a noob. So this effects both shift keys and the enter key?

It only effects the shift keys. The ISO enter is another profile; ANSI enter should still be Q.
This is hard. Basically I don't know if it is going to look and/or feel strange with those different profiles on those keys. Hard to find any pictures of those profiles side by side on a board as well.

That's becasue this is the first keyset in this/these profile(s) :D
With all the disappointments with Devlin I am considering cancelling the entire group-buy and offering the sets once they're actually available, with representative images that I have taken myself.

I was referring to the Rad-Away keyset, apologies for not making that clear. They are technically 2 separate group-buys
I'm interested in SkiData, please post some pictures when it arrives.
[...] but I dont feel confident/safe in purchasing without seeing some actual pictures of them first (especially because of the rad-away incident)
[...] email update here: http://us12.campaign-archive1.com/?u=7ec8feb8af5335d32906c9f46&id=dcbc8bb5de
Rad-Away has been cancelled - full refunds will be issued to all customers. An email will be sent around shortly.
So is everything okay now? March 3rd is definite shipping date?

Any news regarding refunds? They should have been completed yesterday but i haven't recieved it yet.
The skidata colors ARE also off (compare the photo with the renders and you notice the black is grey and the orange is pretty desaturated) and no I didn't get some kind of notification.
Shipping of Skidata will start tomorrow or Thursday!Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/yJRCTlf.jpg)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/FiCFyfH.jpg)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/Kqzc3k6.jpg)

Never fear! It's now shipping!Are there any leftover of Non-standard kit of Q series Skidata? I would add order thus ship with my TKL set together.
Will the shipping be like DSA Royal Navy where we need to wait to request shipping information?
Someone on reddit has received their Q-Series SkiData (https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/609vpg/review_devlin_qseries_skidata_review/?ref=share&ref_source=link).
Will the shipping be like DSA Royal Navy where we need to wait to request shipping information?
Yup, tracking codes can be requested via email from the 20th onwards.

I requested my code through the contact form on mechsupply.co.uk on the 20th. Do I have to do something else to get a tracking code?

Yea, kind of. While I admire your courage to deal with Devlin, this constant delays and your non existent communication about it are reason enough for me to never buy something from mechsupply again. The keycaps should have been shipped on the 24th February, then March 3rd, then a lot of tiny uncommented delays and now we have March 24th and still only a few sets seem to be send. I bet it is some hustle to do these group buys, especially problematic ones like this, but constantly posting shipping dates, which didn't work out, to be non responsive after doesn't seem like the best way to handle it.
Compared to other group buy runners he has had better than average communication. If you want an example of "non existent communication" check over on Feng's POM group buy that has been running since August 2015. I bet less than 1% of the posts are his.
If there was any perceived lack of communication or delayed shipping please at least consider Devlin totally boned this guy, HARD. If I were in his shoes I'd probably have a nervous breakdown.
