I'm finalizing this second round that won't be a copycat of the original. If you have requests and suggestions please speak up. Also ideas for the new Nerdom kit are welcome.
Later I'll post the updated kits.

A 1.75u Escape key would be awesome, so I could use it instead of a Caps Lock key.

granted!
I missed Round 1 by a few days/weeks, so I'd be very interested to see this run again. It would be even better if RU layout did not go away :)
No RU sorry :(

Yeah, I know you stated this in the actual GB thread.
I just wanted to make clear what I meant with secondary legends. Any language that looks cool is fine ;)

- Common Kit
- Text mods
- Blue Enter
- Text Pro Mods
- Windows pack
If the space invader key were part of the nerdom kit I would definitely add that to my order as well.

Are you confident SP has fixed the quality issues? There are definitely a few kits I'd like to get that I didn't buy in R1 :)
they said they fixed the glitches, I have no reason to doubt it.
Post by: Grendel on Sun, 10 August 2014, 15:14:57
I think the only key I was missing in round one was a 1.25u TAB key (icon and text), The SmallFry 40% needs that. On my wishlist a red space invader sits on top :)
Edit: Oh, I'm also missing a 1.5u shift key (for an ErgoDox), have to check if that was available in the Dox kit.
Edit2: Nm, was in the Ergodoxian kit. Altho having that kit w/ icons would be great.
Post by: ideus on Sun, 10 August 2014, 15:20:11
Suggestions:
- Enter and control (caps lock replacement) key sets in matching colors.
- Tsangan kit.
- Arrows in different colors for PBT and legends.
- ISO kits.
- WASD kits in new colors.
- Space bars in alpha, and mods colors. In common sizes.
- Github icon in 1u, 1,25u, and 1.5u.
- A number row strip (like Skull's kit)

Edit: Actually, I've had part of my paycheck going to a separate account ever since you were cool enough to add that homing S to midnight SA. I forgot how long ago that was, so I realize now that I can participate in this too without any trouble. Any chance of making this set Malt layout compatible?

What does this mean for midnight and/or retro SA? I've been putting money aside for a few ErgoDox sets, and would rather have SA caps, but would probably go for granite if the SA kit plans have been cancelled.

Post by: Zebadule on Sun, 10 August 2014, 17:14:19
what about Malt again?
It's a really cool layout used on the Maltron, a ridiculously ergonomic keyboard. There's a full letter rearrangement, and E is shifted to a thumb-key because of it's frequency in the English language. Basically, all it would need from what you have now is a homing S key, and a 2x E key for the thumb. I've seen a few optimized ErgoDox layouts with E as a thumb key, so it'd not be just for Malt layout users either.
The positions of the Alphas in the Malt layout can be easily adapted to the ErgoDox. More info here:
http://www.maltron.com/keyboard-info/the-maltron-letter-layout-advantage (http://www.maltron.com/keyboard-info/the-maltron-letter-layout-advantage)
Edit: If having a couple extra keys for alternate layouts sounds cool, please comment in this thread with your support to make it happen!

- I would love a full light color function row. [as opposed to the full darker gray]
- cym mods [as opposed to rgb] Pantone 17-2036 Magenta || Pantone 16-4529 Cyan
- Red and green enter keys [maybe cmy colors? or orange?] (enter kit!?)
- Light gray modifiers & Blank mods for win keys. [loving that win pack though]
For old revisions:
- I would have liked the red arrows better with the V shape instead of the actual arrow.
- I missed icon pro. [still wtb]
- I would like another mono-legend.
- I would love more goodies like sapce invader key [don't hide it/add it late this time!]
and nerdom. [still wtb a kit...]
Thank you for doing R2.

I don't know yet. Massdrop surely would let us reach a different audience and make this even more successful, but of course it depends on pricing.

Thanks for the fast reply! I think it's worth trying Massdrop - in my opinion their commitment system will help a alot to reach higher tiers. But as you said that makes only sense if their part of the cake isn't too big.

Yes to Tab 1.5x. If I had my wish, I'd also request:
- 1.5x Caps Lock, Backspace, PgUp, PgDn, Home, End
- 2x Alt vertical orientation
Having a legended "Space" key in the Ergodoxian feels weird. Space bar traditionally isn't labeled. It should go without saying that a blank 2x key might be a space. I dunno, that's just me. I get that a lot of guys roll with blank mods on their ErgoDox.

I'm a Mac guy, and to complete my keyboard, I'd like the following (probably added to the Apple kit):
Really want:
* Eject
* Help (this would be used in place of Insert key)
* Mission Control, Launchpad, caret control key - I see these were all included in last Apple Kit, can these put in the new one as well?
* F13, F14, F15
* Clear (replaces Num Lock) - see attached
Nice to get:
* Apple's icon for the Enter key (caret below a line - see attached)
* How about an Apple logo key? Maybe two, an open Apple and a closed Apple (e.g. outline and filled in - attached)
* Add Pause icon with the Play button - so, you'd have a Play/Pause button like on Mac keyboards

SP has a 3x DSA profile key if you can convince them to make it in PBT, not really caring if it's a proper Spacebar. Add one 2x key that says Shift instead of Backspace, then a 1x key that also says Shift (Or I could just use one of the many 1x keys I already have). I already bought the international kit with the 1x '\' key, so few keys left before my set is complete!

How many kits would the two of us have to collectively buy to tip? If any other MiniLa owners out there are like me, we could source all the extra keys from the other kits and we'd only need the three keys mentioned, or just the Spacebar if we get a second Backspace and use any ol' 1u for the other Shift.

I would like to express my interest in cmyk modifiers being produced along with the ability to buy directly from Signature Plastics. I don't want to deal with a third party that adds excess delay and cost into the process, along with the lack of real value they provide. Massdrop does provide a large audience but I don't think the rest of us should be subjected to their downside. If anything the group buy should be available on both medium, so you get the audience of massdrop with the speed and service of PMK

- 2x "grok" key to be used in place of Enter.
- vulcan hand sign
- DEAD BEEF key
- f(x) instead of Fn for function key (italicized f in the mathematics sense)

lol ;) I wait for this round 2. In this round 2, can u change the color of keycap darker than before?
I wouldn't mind this myself - or perhaps blue modifiers? Something that makes it different enough so people who were in on the 1st round aren't just buying a few novelty kits

If we're getting a Portal & Half life logo, can I request a Team Fortress 2 logo? ;)

we have way too many video games :)
For the nerdom kit I propose:
- 2x "grok" key to be used in place of Enter.
- vulcan hand sign
- DEAD BEEF key
- f(x) instead of Fn for function key (italicized f in the mathematics sense)
f(x) is not bad as an idea.

This is so great! Can you have any android related keys? I am going to use a poker II with an android tablet and it would look bad ass with an android robot on the windows key :) or esc. On nerdom or os kit :)

SUN Microsystems for me too :D but please make it purple as the original logo, you know I'm a hardcore SUN Solaris fan :D 1u or 1.50u or both :D
SUN logo in a cap looks wicked cool , you saw my custom dyesub cap ;)
So happy R2 is in plan :D

Yes, you added text to the numpad kit :)
Even If I don't end up getting a second set of this, I hope I can find a way to get the new keypad, nerdom, and Win key sets.

If the green background isn't possible, just go for the light-grey pls, so that it will fit the f1-f4 light grey colors...

Have you considered something like the yellow and orange mods, but for icon mods this time? Oh, and some color for the numpad?
Actually yellow and oranges keys will be removed this time. I wanted to do CYMK but we don't have them in the color ring... so...
May I ask why? I was looking to pimp up my R1 set a little bit, but to be honest the sets to do so look less interesting then last time.

If the space invader key in red is the only option I will likely end up skipping the nerdom kit or wherever that key ends up being included. It was a guaranteed buy for me (since it matches my avatar) regardless of whatever else I needed to buy with it but not in red ... it just clashes too much IMO.

I joined GH too late to get in on the first round, but won't be missing the second round!
I'm a Mac guy, and to complete my keyboard, I'd like the following (probably added to the Apple kit):
Really want:
* Eject
* Help (this would be used in place of Insert key)
* Mission Control, Launchpad, caret control key - I see these were all included in last Apple Kit, can these put in the new one as well?
* F13, F14, F15
* Clear (replaces Num Lock) - see attached
Nice to get:
* Apple's icon for the Enter key (caret below a line - see attached)
* How about an Apple logo key? Maybe two, an open Apple and a closed Apple (e.g. outline and filled in - attached)
* Add Pause icon with the Play button - so, you'd have a Play/Pause button like on Mac keyboards
thanks for the feedback, the apple kit is already quite expensive as it is now, I don't know if we should add more keys
Ok, that's understandable. But, could the new Apple kit at least contain all the keys it had last time (Mission Control, Launchpad, caret control key)? If these can be included again, I'll buy this new set.

Post by: Matt3o on Tue, 12 August 2014, 12:39:29
I don't see a 1-unit \| outside of the international kits. Did you decide that was not worthwhile?
no, simply forgot. Sorry.
Ok, forget the other Mac keys I asked for. But, could we just add the caret symbol Control key as in R1? I don't care which kit it is added to (Apple, Icon Mods, L&F, wherever).
I realize this kit has the star-like symbol for the Control symbol, but I'd greatly prefer the caret symbol so all the mod keys match the icons in the menu system, documentation, etc.
I'll check the apple kit later. I might add back some keys.

JD40 enter is actually 1.75. But I'm with you. I'd really like a red 1.75 enter key for my JD40 build too. I'd also really like a colored 1x ctrl and alt added to the RGB modifiers set too! This (http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0314/6133/products/a3O5hAI_grande.png?v=1402170280) is the size chart I'm using as my reference.

Post by: taylordcraig on Tue, 12 August 2014, 17:34:40
In for 2 sets, although I do agree that this set doesn't seem to be as awesome as round 1. Totally understand the desire to not exactly replicate round 1 but still... As long as I can get in on some icon mods and keypad, and they've fixed the warping and moulding marks... Thanks for doing this Matt3o!
Sorry, agree with who, and what would you say isn't as cool?
I really enjoy the new WASD, Enter, Nerdom, and OS Kits.
The new lost and found I'll be buying just for those blue arrows too.

Dressing a JD40% with Granite Round 2
There is no cheap way. A Pro Modifier kit is short by two 1.25u keys. A blank kit has no 1.75 key (you need two).
You'd need a common kit, modifier kit [icon, text or RGB] and Lost & Found. (for enter and tab and pn)
With those three kits (common, mods, lost and found) you could cover your whole board.
You'd have wacky legends on two 1u keys in the bottom row and backspace, which would be found in a pro modifier pack.

It seems we will have a Granite R2 sooner than expected. For those who don't know it, this is what we are talking about http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=56354.0 (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=56354.0)
I'm finalizing this second round that won't be a copycat of the original. If you have requests and suggestions please speak up. Also ideas for the new Nerdom kit are welcome.
Later I'll post the updated kits.
Matt3o will you be making this Granite R2 in ABS or PBT? Please say ABS it's vastly preferred due it's lack of deformity which was common on your first version set.
Would genuinely like an all ABS set done because I feel for SP because it will go faster with manufacturing and result in far less returns. Please let us know soon.

I don't suppose extras to fully equip a RACE I/II would be possible? I don't really know how many people are using them except me so it probably wouldn't be a popular suggestion. The most major difference would be 1.5x keys for escape and delete, everything else is reasonably easy to get around with a DSA keyset just from spares...Show Image(http://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/images/products/large_763_T2vDeYXsJaXXXXXXXX_!!1749873883.jpg)

You're in luck! 1.5u Escape and Delete are both in the Ergodoxian kit.

The kits look good to me :thumb:
But could you please move the text enter key from the numpad to the red enter kit?
It's the only difference to the R1 numpad kit and I don't wanna buy the whole kit again for a single key...
Matt3o, can you please comment on that :thumb:

There is no cheap way. A Pro Modifier kit is short byonetwo 1.25u keys.
You need 5x1.25u and 2x1.75u ... so aren't the Pro Modifier kits short by 2 1.25u keys? (Even tho the keys it does contain have legends that don't make sense for how they'd be used!)
Note: Edited as requested.

You are absolutely correct. Please change my quoted text in your post. [on my jd40 I use "nm,./" down in that corner so there's a little gap and no 1.25 :rolleyes:]

Otherwise we are a bit more free to do what we want with the kits.

I'm waiting for pricing from Massdrop (possibly today), if we can do this via Massdrop I have to make bigger aggregated kits (which will be probably cheaper than the sum of the subsets).Awesome! :D

If you want the correct legends yes, if not it'll be pretty easy to get loads of 1.25x keys with this set. If I join this GB I just plan to use some of the spares that haven't gone elsewhere.

you wont find printed 1.25 arrows, but you can buy a blank set and you should be good.

Yeah. I should have gotten the blanks for the ergo's mods, but in the end I decided not to because the colours are also available in the PMK store. You can also include CTRL into the 1.5x list, but I guess it might be a little redundant, but what the heck.
The 1.75x are more for the tsangan/1800 kit.

Still wondering. Will look so much cooler :)Sounds good! :DIf this GB is going to go through, about when can we expect it to start? There's a lot of keyset group buys going on and I have to be very picky now or else I will have little money left for living expenses. :rolleyes:
The Granite is a sure buy for me since it looks nice but is not too flashy or gaudy.
hopefully a couple of weeks
One question, will it be a gray/white iso enter key kit?

key would also be nice (at least a blank one). Are those ISO Enter keys still
DCS or is DSA now an option with SP?
Also, not a fan of the current "Nerdom" Kit. Personally I'd like to see a
black on gray Flask, Sun Logo and/or Lambda key in there. And I'd prefer f(x)
instead of the normal function key.
Anyway, big thanks for R2 @Matt3o :)

I thought that I'm the only crazy guy who likes that :P I even use Solaris at home and own a couple of SUN machines :D

Post by: neverlast74 on Thu, 14 August 2014, 11:10:26
Background: I just bought the double shots from Filco for my Majestouch2 Filco and realized I can not silence & O-ring them (easily) because their female cap stem has no cross inside of the cap. Which means I need 4-5 rings per cap to which makes the O-ring mod a bit uuaaaargg - if you need 400 rings.
Like this...

Post by: Oobly on Thu, 14 August 2014, 13:40:58
SP DSA caps don't come with cross bars so you will need to stack O-rings. It's possible to buy much thicker O-rings (http://imsto.cn/index.php?route=product/product&path=61&product_id=78).
Or do the trampoline mod <- Oobly starts to sound like a stuck record...
IMSTO sells some little silicon balls you can stick inside the little tube in the switch (or you can make your own "trampolines" by cutting orings into pieces or using a 2mm hole punch on a rubber sheet). Does pretty much the same job as properly sized orings, but since it's inside the switch you can use any keycaps without worry. Feels better, IMHO, too. Also can be adjusted to taste (thickness, length and hardness of the rubber piece).
Post by: taylordcraig on Thu, 14 August 2014, 14:22:37
With 4 small soft red orings from WASD I can't even depress a cap.
With 3 the cap feels very hard. 2 produces a softer feel and silences the clack of the keys quite a bit.
It feels softer to bottom out on just 1 oring, but the sound and actuation feel is very similar.
I personally don't like the feel of orings on DSA, but might use them if sound was an issue.
Post by: drrtyrokka on Thu, 14 August 2014, 15:22:06
Now I'm modding the whole keyboard to ergo / panda clears to bottom out less and get a better feel than with browns (and got totally crazy after desoldering all switches, now I want to get me a custom plate with cutouts lasered and a wooden case made with cnc :D :geek ).
I kept the double orings on every key except the alphas to remove the clack because I often bottom them out for shortcuts and stuff.

ok some news. this will most likely go through MassDrop. To me this is a great news since: a) at the monent Massdrop GB system is better than PMK; b) pricing will be probably better than R2 (but please bear in mind that we will hardly reach the 380 tier of the first GB).
Tomorrow I will be posting an updated set of kits, we will have the weekend to make few updates, Monday I'll get the final pricing and hopefully somewhen next week we could start.
I believe you underestimate yourself. I know I'll be buying a R2 even though I participated in R1, and with MD we have an even larger audience.
Since MD doesn't have a vendor sub forum, AND with Nuclear Green being in the GB thread, I find it entirely appropriate that Granite R2 also appears in the group buy sub forum.

I see you also added back in the keyboard brightness keys. Personally, to make this a perfect kit for me, I'd rather not have those but get the caret 1.5u control keys. I would think that'd be more popular with most Mac users as not everyone has a keyboard with backlighting - especially one they'd want to put non-backliteable (is that a word?) keycaps on.
Sorry to keep bringing this up, but I figure best try getting the keys I want before they keys get finalized. Never hurts to ask, as they say. ;D
And, I'm not sure from your post if you are thinking of not including the multimedia keys. If so, let me say that I'd very much like to get that and if you could add an eject key to it, even better. :D
Post by: blockdevice on Fri, 15 August 2014, 13:35:18
personally prefer a monochrome version matching the default font color if
possible. This would fit the overall color scheme better IMHO. Opinions?
Anyway, big thanks for adding it! :)
Also, I do not like the absence of a gray ISO option (especially since it
looks like every other layout can get one - provided they buy one or more
additional kits) :(
So, done complaining :) Thanks for all the effort! :)

I'd much rather have the colored gamer keys separate from the novelty keys and have orange be included in the gamers as well - loving the blue arrows and escape. Also is looks like the light gray F-keys are gone completely with the parting up of lost and found, not too broken up about it but others might be.
Other way around with me, I'd like the gamer kit without the nerdom. And I miss the orange WASD. I liked it better before to be honest.

Dressing a 60% or TKL requires: Common, Text Mods or Icon Mods.
- RGB mods can replace modifiers for sub TKL keyboards.
- For 1.5 mods you need a Text Pro Modifier or Icon Pro Modifier kit.
- For a 104 layout add a Numpad.
- For ISO add an ISO Enter key.(don't see a couple symbols right now)

Is there any chance we could get 1x RGB versions of ctrl, alt, and shift, please? I can see them coming in really handy for the JD40 and the non-standard upcoming Massdrop keyboard.And any chance to include blue Enter like in first GB? RED and BLUE totally different look.

I have a question. I'm an amateur at group buys, as I am about to get my first mech kb (TKL). During the first round of these keycaps, they were sold for ~$35. Is this for only the base set? Would I need to purchase the common kit AND modifier keys-- which would double the cost to ~$70?
Thanks!
Yes you are correct, common kit and modifier kit to cover a tkl.

That depends on the price tier we reach. But yeah, that's a realistic estimate.

we have to make some compromises... I still have a couple of days to make some modifications but I can't make everyone happy.
Definitely understood, and will absolutely be pumping some funds into a common kit+extras for the other KB.
Just still weird to have non-dish F and J opted out of the common kit this time around for a Homing Kit. Is there a big market for that? I rather like the even feeling of full DSA, but I'll buy what I need regardless.

the "homing kit" would be pretty inexpensive, I might be wrong but probably 90% of people looking for standard F/J also need other homing keys.

I guess I don't mind purchasing the gamer set for the red escape, but would liked to have seen orange WASD keys as well.
The red enter looks great but I'm sad there isn't a blue one too. I might have to see if SP has any blank blues in that size.

One red ESC came in the common kit, yes.
The gamer kit has a **** ton of stuff and should only be like $20.

This could be the Gamer kit:
(http://i.imgur.com/YXEjksf.jpg)
Blue enters, no red because it seems red is too communist.
The 3 community logos are in the common kit now:
(http://i.imgur.com/4bZxSPC.jpg)
ISO Enters are back to gray, so people don't go in division by zero.
Ergodox now includes a blank key
(http://i.imgur.com/yxzuAV7.jpg)
Extra OS Kit is now super awesome
(http://i.imgur.com/mPepmo9.jpg)
Multimedia also includes the extra function keys

I just miss the international kit at this point. Hope everything else is fine.

I'm going to have so many extra keys... I bought an entire international kit in R1 just for the 1u backslash/pipe key and this round will be no different.
I need the same keycap but I did not buy the set just for one. I suppose there is no way to provide all of us exactly what we actually need.
Post by: cjhard on Sat, 16 August 2014, 18:38:01
And probably extra OS kit. And for sure a few of the specialty board kits for the 3u spacebar, maybe up to 3 for spares and to encourage them to tip in case only me and Matt3o have the MiniLa.
Also Gamer Kit for the blue arrows. Wish ESDF was the standard, but I can live with WASD.
Also I missed the numpad last time, and even though I don't have a numpad on any of my boards, maybe someday I'll get or build a standalone numpad?
Ok so I'll get a common kit too. I didn't reach out to get any of the fixed 1u keys and the pics in the R1 thread look really nice.
Are we going to see 7u spaces again? I don't yet have a winkeyless board.. but I want one...

Depending on the key you can sometimes buy individual caps from SP and they aren't always listed in inventory.

I just wanted to buy 12 nerdom kits for Space Invader keys,
don't think I'll want to shell that much cash for 12 gamer kits.
I am still however very excited for round 2, [kinda wish that red enter happened],
and will spend all sorts of money on more beautiful granite caps.

Dressing a JD40 requires: Common, Text Mods or Icon Mods, and the Speciality Keyboard Kit.
It still seems like something is missing if you only use those 3 kits. The Text Mods kit has plenty of 1.25u ctrl/alt/super/etc. keys and also the 1.25 Right Shift. The Specialty Kit has the 1.25u Tab and 1.75u Enter keys covered, but what would you use for the 1.75u left shift, or a 1u FN or 1u ctrl/alt keys for the bottom row? It seems like you are almost required to buy the Text Pro mod kit as well.
The RGB kits also have the 1.75 and 1.25 shifts covered, but not enough keys to cover the bottom row. Still trying to figure out what to do!

for 1u i was thinking you could use the DT/GH keys
you got me on the 1.75 shift though, it would have to be your other enter key.
it sucks that you have to buy more kits just to cover your jd40
but in all fairness you paid $200 for a 40% keyboard
I'll go edit my post as to not spread misinformation.

I have a few requests in the Mono Legend Kit (All these requests are for the GDE color),
Can you include 1.5u \ key and | key
Also the 1u ` key and ~ key
Next these might add too many keys to the kit but here goes,
5 6 7 8 and % ^ & *
For people with no F-Row to get that Light, Dark, Light look to their top row.

I'm okay with that too, but maybe it should be rolled into the RGB set? Are people opposed to that?
Actually, my ideal would include an icon yellow/orange set as well. But now I'm just getting greedy.
Post by: DanielT on Mon, 18 August 2014, 14:42:52
I can live without orange, but I would be really sad not to get the RGB just because it was too expesive due to the orange/yellow.
Just check on PMK which were the prices for the sets in R1 and you will see what I mean.

you can buy blank GDE sets on PMK, they come with the PBT spacebar.

np, I also love the spacebar to be modifier color when the function row is alternating.
if the function row is mod color the mod spacebar looks funny, like a weird box of color around your alphas.

Would need 13 keys on number row, and the @^ key, I think.
Either way I'm super excited for this, so thanks!

I won't be taking any profits, but you might not save that much depending on what the sets end up costing and shipping.
It is however something I would like to do, and I will be reviewing it's viability when sales commence.

The splitting service is a nice idea, but I wonder if SP itself may offer that service for a flat fee per key size. In that way S&H cost may be optimized. Well, in case the set were ran with SP.
It would be wonderful if they did, but in my experience they won't.
It would mean having to produce X amount of individual caps, and especially with the legends on this set being sublimated, they would have to order that many from the company providing their paper.
Also I'm fairly certain the set is being run through MD.
If Matt could get in touch with SP about requesting one offs, that would be awesome.
I fear their response would be similar to my guess though.

That gamer set really needs something unique for it to stand out. Some unique set of singles keys will definately trigger sales and not generic keys which users can buy from another vendor. Is there something you can add that is leaning toward cute for female users. For example some user added cats to the gamer set which i thought was cute and an attention grabber for me.
Those were novelty keys from round 1 which Matt does not want to redo.
I'll concede the Umbrella Corp logo should maybe be the cats again. >.>

I read the whole thread and saw a few users requesting the cats I bet that was very popular. I'm pretty sure if that's included it would trigger some people to buy the keys.
Personally I would buy the set if it included the cats its just so cute.
A lot of the single keys are turn offs and most of them can be acquired through a different vendor. The only nice one is the space invader this needs more cute to make this great. :-*
We should petition the cats :p
I just got my poker 2 being my second mechanical so Im glad I stumbled across this thread.
I plan on buying this set and the hyper fuse if it ever comes up again.

Yes, agree with you. Aesthetic is most valuable in keycaps.

Let's say that you don't like any (or some of them), you guys understand that it's impossible to like equally all novelty keys right? The cat-key was exclusive of Round 1, that's a present I do to first-rounders. Sorry you didn't get it. If you have other ideas for fancy novelties I'm more than happy to add or change some caps. I'm not adding other SI keys because we risk to slip on copyright infringement. We are lucky that I've been able to sneak one.

The Heart and Space Invader keys are pretty awesome.
The others just aren't my style, but I can see they're designed well.
Except for the & logo. I just don't get that one. What does it stand for? Is this a key a lot of people are asking for?
As for keys that I'd like to see included and haven't seen mentioned yet,
How about a Marijuana Leaf key!
Post by: Mooby on Tue, 19 August 2014, 03:44:56
as far as we do not jeopardize the main kits I'm positive on adding more keys. Eg: no "red enter" kit because it would split the sales between blue and red. I'm not adding red enter to the esc+enter kit either because 2.25 keys are expensive and I want to keep that kit low priced. Hope you understand.
Are yellow and orange mods as an extra kit an option? This would not influence other kits in any way and I'm sure that there are quiet some people arround who would like that. Adding icon mods to the potential set would even increase interest I think.

Seems like they would fit in the nerdom pack pretty logically, and if you are just wanting all the novelty key options, that is kinda painful :(

Hey Matt3o, what do you think of this change to the Mono Legend Kit?
It adds a few keys in the GDE color and gives the option to have Medium Grey covering each side and the 4 middle keys in the number row for that Light, Dark, Light look.
First wild suggestion of theirs I think is actually noteworthy.
would let you mock a function row on 60% or other keyboards with only 5 rows
edit: also that gde back-slash/pipe would be killer if nothing else, I used a blank on my TKL to match my mono legends better.

A color variant!
Make a Kitty Key on the GDE background!
Companies who make limited edition collectable products do it all the time. (e.g. Mondo Posters)

As nice as it might be to have the extra colours, I think it's more important to have the icon versions as well. Perhaps there could be another kit for the icon versions but that might be a bit much and both might not reach MOQ.
Matt3o's red ESC+blue enter pack with text+icon still has my vote.

What is the Mono Legend for?

Everything looks awesome! just new on the keycaps world, Sorry for extremely stupid questions ;)
The u is for units. It indicates the size of the key cap.
The typical key cap is 1u. These are your alpha keys. Other sizes are usually a factor of 1u. So a Win/OS key in a Tenkeyless (TKL) layout is said to be 1.5u, or 1.5x the horizontal length of an alpha key. The spacebar is - I believe - 6.25u. This is a rough standard used in the keyboard enthusiast community. You'll notice some keyboards (especially something like the MS Natural Keyboard line) don't adhere to any particular standard.
Edit: For your other questions...
DT is Deskthority, a web site similar to geekhack (/ducks). http://deskthority.net/
Monolegend is just for people who don't want top & bottom legends printed on their keys. They know that the $ sign is on the #4 key, so they don't need to see a "4" and a "$" printed on the same key. It's a personal preference.
Pro modifiers are for people with special boards like HHKB and Pure -- I don't have sufficient knowledge of these to give you an accurate list.
Extra home row is for people who use a non-QWERTY alpha key layout like Dvorak. The F and J keys are typically made with a homing "bump" or a deep dish -- the key cap is different so your fingers can find the home row easier. So guys with a Dvorak layout need different homing keys because F and J are not on their home row!
I can't really answer your last question. ;)

Actualy Pro Mods is the next generation of Tsangan in GH language :D but is more complex and contains caps to cover custom keyboards. Very nice kit a must have I would say if you like custom boards.
Thanks, I may have oversimplified it a little.
I guess this applies to Mono Legends too. If you want to be fancy (and have a fancy keyboard) you could have an & key that was separate from your 7 key in the number row, etc.

Assuming you're also picking up a common kit, you could substitute one of the GH/reddit/DT keys. That would probably be the most cost effective solution.
Yeah I will definitely pick up the common kit as well. I suppose I could use one of the community keys, I just really like the esc icon. I might want to get the Multimedia set, and then I could use the power icon as well, but I was trying to go no RGB.
Edit: nevermind I just realized that the Mono Legends Set has a grey ~ key, and I was going to get that set anyways for replacing the top row on my 60% with just symbols (!@# etc), so the esc icon can go to the numpad. Brilliant!

If you're referring to the mockup from Keyzus, that's just a wish from another user (who has been hurling abuse at my inbox for having a different opinion), not the real deal.
The most recent version of the gamer kit from Matt3o is at http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=61612.msg1439994#msg1439994 and it does have an invader and a heart but no Nerv (and is better than Keysuz suggestion imho).
I believe the Nerv cap was part of R1 though so you might be able to get it from the classifieds.

Right now AFAIK there has never been a DSA numeric set that actually has those labels (arrows, page up etc) because SP didn't have the DS moulds with them. Given this set is dye-sub and that isn't a limiting factor.
Would be awesome for the TK keyboards and right now DSA users have no other choice but number-only pads.

So, Massdrop today added a listing for 4 doubleshot ABS sets, including black on white, Olivette, Dolch, and something called "Granite." Go figure.
On top of that they also have a listing for "Doubleshot ABS Sculpted Keycaps". I hope interest for this set isn't going to be spread too thin.

I usually swap caps lock and left control or just map both to control, would rather either blank them or or swap the label.
The text pro modifier has a 1.75 control in it in, but just measuring whats shown in the blank pack I don't see a 1.75 blank.

I'm pretty certain it's number of sets, not buyers. Hopefully they can add another price drop? I'm having trouble deciding between text and icon modifiers because I want both but it's very costly.
What situation is the specialty kit for?
confirmed with MD that that is the number of kits sets, not buyers.
I'm also trying to add an additional price drop.
The specialty kit is for the JD40 (I seem to recall), the Filco Minila and few others.

Yes, it will be as on the mockup.
The extra spacebar is just an option to have a replacement, since the spacebar is the most used key.

Common kit is the default selection when you add. Then you just add more kits on top of it. The different kits have subtracted costs since they cost less than the common kit. Unfortunately the international kit tries to encompass every possible key - a solution might be to find a buddy who needs the keys in the international kit that you don't need.

Unfortunate that this set does not pass on the savings of the huge volumes that have been sold. The nature of the MD system is its lack of pricing tiers. Especially as this is one of the only few high volume sets of the year, hope a deal can be worked out to bring the price more in line with the volume of production. Happy for matt3o to do well from this, just want to see the price lower to help bring in more sale. At this stage I am not in :(

I can understand that the pricing tiers are based on early estimates on volumes. Lets hope MD can make the numbers work for another tier price.
If you want blank ergodox kit then just order some color combination that you like from SP. Its the same material and profile. And it will be cheaper at the end of the day, because you wont buy tons of keys that you dont need.

If you want blank ergodox kit then just order some color combination that you like from SP. Its the same material and profile. And it will be cheaper at the end of the day, because you wont buy tons of keys that you dont need.
SP don't have that colour grey (GDE) available as blanks - which is the problem.

I never used MD before. Is it possible to add kits to your order later? I was hoping for better prices tbh. But would like to add some stuff if the introduce some better tiers.Yes, go to transactions page and choose "edit order", then you can add or delete what you need.

Have anyone some experiences with MD about "requesting" to state a smaller value of the goods on the shipments label? I wish to cut out the customs and taxes. I will delete this post later. PM me please If you tried it or know the answer.
Pretty sure they won't do that.

From the pictures it looks like the common kit comes with grey 6.25u space bar. But you want a 7u or a blue 6.25u you need to add them on separately right?
That's correct.

Are you adding more spacebar because you need a spare one or do you need the other sized once?That's how I got my GDE spacebar. :)

Actually, I got confused and forgot that I got a spacebar in Round 1. :-\
However, I added a 7x and an extra 6.25x since I'm not purchased the Common kit in this round.

the blue spacebar is 6 units! (not 6.25) and it's ABS (not PBT).

I have purchased an ISO set and will only be using one of them so you're welcome to the other. I'm thinking I'll use the icon one so do you want the text enter key?

Post by: mdf on Mon, 25 August 2014, 19:05:26
I really just need the standard 87/TKL keycaps and to swap caps and left ctrl, literally everything else in the pro set is a waste for me.
Not slamming the options by any means, its a TON of work to set this up. Just feel like a lot of people swap left ctrl and caps or just delete caps and replace it with ctrl, but caps is usually a 1.75 key so you get screwed trying to just blank it or similar.
I'm sure plenty of trading will go on here too, in a perfect world there would be a 87 kit with a few common extras like caps/ctrl swap, and then the options begin. I'm sure the ergo people have a different request, the poker ii legion a different, etc.
Props for setting this up, can't wait to see the keys.

I don't use ISO. I was just saying some people want to split there's, so you might not have to buy the kit yourself. It is worth checking out.
I really just need the standard 87/TKL keycaps and to swap caps and left ctrl, literally everything else in the pro set is a waste for me.
I'm in the same boat. You could do the RGB mods if you wanted a red control, it will save you $10. I ended up getting the pro mods just incase I ever did an exotic layout in the future.
Post by: taylordcraig on Mon, 25 August 2014, 21:03:13
I saved $4 or about 2.7%. Yeah...I was imagining the common kit would have a price drop, so that everybody saves some money. I guess that would take away too much of MD's cut.
No, $30 for a common kit of dye-sub PBT is just already an insanely good price.
The gamer kit and egdx were the two most overpriced kits.

• 1u enter is now dark grey, thank you!
• backspace is now written “BACK SPACE”, while it was “BACKSPACE” before. Can you explain, please? Is it historically more correct written as two words, or do you like it just better this way, personally?

Wow the prices of the extra kits are so high compared to R1.
Welcome to having an additional middleman in the group buy process. No quantity tier decreases either for anything outside the base kit will certainly make this more expensive than it would be through PMK.
I don't think Matt would get a cut going through PMK. Hard to say he doesn't deserve it though.

Yes, for German people who need international kit and ISO enter, and who pay high taxes, the pricing is tough, I would say the pricing is more worthwhile for US citizens. Allein 10 Thaler für ’ne ISO enter is’ schon ’n Ding, ums mal diplomatisch zu formulieren, dann kommen noch die Wegelagerer vom Zoll dazu, und wollen für den Plastikkram auch noch ihr Haus abbezahlen, da muß man schon leidensfähig sein ;-) Das krasseste is’ aber die Vorstellung, daß wir 150 Thaler auf den Tisch legen müssen, wohingegen die Produktionskosten für ein komplettes dt. Tasten-Set bei industrieller Massenfertigung um die 10 € beträgt :-o

I don't know in which forum area we can create a trade thread for Granite R1 and R2. On DT we have one active with a lot of activity.
We would want to create one in the Classifieds subforum similar to the GMK Spacebar trading thread (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=57124.0). After the orders ship, of course. Unless people are already trading R1 caps? If that's the case, we can create one now.

I made a spreadsheet estimating the number of individual sets sold based on the distribution of the sets sold in Round 1, and also comparing the prices of Massdrop to PMK had this second round gone through them. I realize that with Massdrop you can reach a much broader audience, and the buy might not have been as successful going through PMK again, however I thought it would be an interesting comparison nevertheless.
For me, getting only the Icon Mods and Text Pro, I would currently save $7.23 with the PMK prices. However if you take the total cost of all the sets currently sold it's very comparable to Round 1.
Here's the spreadsheet if anyone is interested: clicky (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1HlrhewFE1n1n_6Rv77wV-eMJ9G9P-3IjT0e69RIJaFY/edit?usp=sharing)
It should be fully editable if you want to add or change anything.
TL;DR: boring spreadsheet stuff
Post by: Matt3o on Tue, 26 August 2014, 10:28:48
- distribution of sets sold in R1 and R2 is not the same
- almost all kits are different from R1 and R2 (some have more keys, others less)
- there's basically no price difference between tiers when you reach 150 (meaning once you got there, that's the best price you can get no matter if you sell 150 or 400)

There are diminishing savings with more and more units. I'll quote AndrewLekashman from the MD comments thread:
Quote
The delta in cost for the most popular option in the set (Common Kit) is as follows.
If we reach 50 units it is $3.76 cheaper than the 25 unit price.
100 units is $1.88 cheaper than the 50 unit price.
500 units - $1.50 cheaper than the 100 unit price.
750 or more units – $.12 cents cheaper than the 500 unit price.
That’s 12 cents of savings between 500 and 750 units.
So we will probably not see another price drop. Hopefully there's a chance they'll decrease shipping costs since it's higher than usual.

As someone returning from Round 1 to get some extra keys, I've got to say that I'm a little bit disappointed with the prices. My plan was to this time get the Icon Mods, a Pro Kit and the Windows kit and I would have hoped for the prices to at least be comparable to round 1. I'm not complaining, and I'm still going to get the sets I set out for, I just might not get anything extra. I do have to say that splitting a set of Intl keys does sound really tempting, however.
I made a spreadsheet estimating the number of individual sets sold based on the distribution of the sets sold in Round 1, and also comparing the prices of Massdrop to PMK had this second round gone through them. I realize that with Massdrop you can reach a much broader audience, and the buy might not have been as successful going through PMK again, however I thought it would be an interesting comparison nevertheless.
For me, getting only the Icon Mods and Text Pro, I would currently save $7.23 with the PMK prices. However if you take the total cost of all the sets currently sold it's very comparable to Round 1.
Here's the spreadsheet if anyone is interested: clicky (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1HlrhewFE1n1n_6Rv77wV-eMJ9G9P-3IjT0e69RIJaFY/edit?usp=sharing)
It should be fully editable if you want to add or change anything.
TL;DR: boring spreadsheet stuff
I'm not sure where everyone comparing prices between rounds is getting their info:

*claps violently*
I think you just showed the whole world that a properly made set with a interesting specifications (DSA PBT for example, pretty rare) can bring lots of sales. Maybe just because of your actions will we have more inexpensive quality sets group buys on Massdrop soon.
What's your next idea can we have a little scoop in here? ;)

In round 1, 367 common kits were sold for $35. In round 2 we are at 2645 sold common kits for $29,99, shouldn’t the price much be lower for that many sold kits? I would expect something like $19,99 ... Or is there a fault in my reasoning?

It's total kits. Not 2500 common kits. 2500 kits altogether. Each addon counts as a kit.
Also, Andrew already gave us the profit delta explaining there are no further price breaks after 500 of any given set.
Individual price MOQs are for each set from SP. MD gave us the lowest average.
Everyone complaining about the price literally has no idea what they're talking about.

Thanks for remarks about the pricing. I did not complain, at least not much, I’m just investigative ...
Didn't mean to call you out.
Just a lot of people remarking about the prices which are actually quite good.
Post by: ioMar on Tue, 26 August 2014, 13:14:47
few notes:
- distribution of sets sold in R1 and R2 is not the same
- almost all kits are different from R1 and R2 (some have more keys, others less)
- there's basically no price difference between tiers when you reach 150 (meaning once you got there, that's the best price you can get no matter if you sell 150 or 400)
You're right, the distribution between kits are not going to be the same. I just used R1 to get a rough estimate.
I did overlook the some sets being different, or I didn't think it would make much of a difference, but I see now it's likely that is the reason the sets are priced differently. I just looked at the modifier kit; we get two more 1.25u keys at the cost of one 1u. The 1.25u keys probably cost more to produce so that might be the reason the set is priced higher.
Massdrop already reaching their lowest prices would not make much a difference for sets that have already sold over 150 as you said. Where it could make a difference is for sets that haven't reached that 150 point yet. However MD seem to have already have decent prices on the sets that were less popular in R1 (e.g ISO Enter), sets that might not be at that 150 point yet, meaning they anticipate those sets to reach higher tiers and have set their price accordingly.
Overall I think the prices are very similar. And since they come so close a comparison like mine might not be the best thing to do, as it's probably more likely to throw things off because as you say the sets are different.
Can't deny that the price for the common kit is great, compared to R1. And the Blank kit now at $10.99 compared to $27 before. I just wish that I could get my extra mods for cheaper.

you guys can't be serious.
I tried to estimate based on R1 the distribution of sets purchased in R2. Then compare that with the pricing tiers from R1 and see where the prices would land had this second round gone through PMK and been as successful. So I'm not using the final prices, but the prices this might have gotten on the PMK website. If that makes sense.
My intention was not to complain about the prices or anything, I just wanted to get something objective too look at when comparing.

secondly the problem here is mainly SP. As you can clearly see with the common kit massdrop price is generally better than PMK. The problem is SP price that won't go lower than that. Not blaming them, at 500 we probably reached the raw cost of plastic and the only way to go lower would be by ordering 5000 or more... or make simpler designs... or go China possibly.

Yeah. I think the main point to stress is the profit delta.

common + icon OR text modifiers for a poker 2.
choc mini has a custom spacebar, you can't cover that. Apart from that you also need the pro modifiers.
You can take a keycool84 that is more standard, though.

Ditto. Although I was just procrastinating since I thought I had 2 more days. Luckily I did get in on R1, but I wanted a few more sets (Mono Legends, Specialty, etc.)
It seems to me that MD was not really set up for a this kind of "drop" with multiple kits. One thing I don't understand is how their operation really works. Do they just collect the money and the orders and then pass on to SP the order list and their cut of the money? Or does SP actually manufacture the caps, send them to MD and MD ships them out? The second scenario seems kind of unlikely and I'm sure SP can handle an order of any size. Although maybe there is a limit for the PMK side of the operation. Just really weird or maybe it's just a glitch and we can all stop complaining soon :)

Hi Everyone!
Sorry for the confusion on this drop, here’s a quick explanation:
When we (matt3o and massdrop) launched this drop, Signature Plastics (SP) gave us production and shipping times for a couple thousand kits.
When the drop exceeded 2000 sets earlier this week, we spoke with SP and asked for an updated production and shipping estimate. Based on the new quantity, SP is estimating fulfillment times will increase by roughly 10-15 days.
In the interest of those participating, we closed the drop. However, based on the demand and limited nature of this drop, we have decided to re-open the drop at the request of matt3o.
In an effort to decrease production times, we’ve already asked SP to start producing keycap sets.
Shipping times will increase for all existing participants, but your fellow enthusiasts appreciate your patience.
Thanks for supporting the world’s largest keycap group-buy (calling Guinness...) and we’ll do everything possible to expedite fulfillment.
TLDR: Buy has reopened, but production and shipping times will increase due to the buy exceeding SP production limits. MD ended the buy early because it will take 10-15 days more to produce more than 2000 units.

Oh good, its the Poker 2 with clears all over againWhat happened with that?
Originally MD offered Poker 2 with clear switches, a completely new combination never seen before and people went crazy for them. Later it turns out it was a miscommunication and the producer couldn't make any at the time, so MD had to cancel everybody's orders. However, they made good by finally having a group buy with Poker clears, and made hundreds of sales. So it all worked out in the end, but there was a mishap that first time.
Post by: Mercury7 on Fri, 29 August 2014, 14:47:24
Post by: Heliosphere on Fri, 29 August 2014, 15:24:16
Saying it all worked out is a big disingenuous; it was a total **** show. MD managed to create a genuine poker with clears group buy but didn't mention anything about a manufacturing cap, just that it was an exclusive one time only way to get poker with clears from the manufacturer. Turns out they had a 300 unit cap which they kept quiet until the buy sold out. After much complaining they then went and upped the cap to 600 units, and in turn increased the lead time by 3 weeks or so, which wasn't taken nicely by those who bought the original 300 expecting a fairly quick turn around. Then recently Massdrop decided that the exclusive one off thing got in the way of them making money so they quietly removed it from all of the pages related to the buy and started hinting at selling more of them. The lack of communication and haphazard/change of direction decisions made on that buy left much distaste in many buyers mouths. This granite buy seems to be no different.
Ah, well I missed all that nonsense then since I got a poker with browns before that buy. At least in this granite buy Matt3o decided to continue with the buy.

Estimated shipping date: November 7th, 2014.
Extremely disappointed that Massdrop wasn't upfront about the manufacturing cap and the delay on shipments due to it. Would have much rather seen 2 batches ship rather than pushing back everything. This is the same thing they pulled with the Poker 2 clears and it really does a disservice to those who bought in early expecting to get what Massdrop is offering.

QuoteEstimated shipping date: November 7th, 2014.
Extremely disappointed that Massdrop wasn't upfront about the manufacturing cap and the delay on shipments due to it. Would have much rather seen 2 batches ship rather than pushing back everything. This is the same thing they pulled with the Poker 2 clears and it really does a disservice to those who bought in early expecting to get what Massdrop is offering.
Anything to increase the bottom line right?

TLDR - Matt3o is the ****ing man :cool:Matt3o saves the day!
So... who wants to trade me the /r/MK key from the common kit for something from the Gamer kit? Space Invader maybe??
I'm not positive which direction your asking to trade but if you're asking for someone to trade you their /r/mk key and you will give them a space invader key I am definitely down for that :cool:

Exactly! I have a GH key and two base sets from round 1 so I didn't want a third just to get the /r/MK key. Now we just have to wait for November :thumb:TLDR - Matt3o is the ****ing man :cool:Matt3o saves the day!

Saying it all worked out is a big disingenuous; it was a total **** show. MD managed to create a genuine poker with clears group buy but didn't mention anything about a manufacturing cap, just that it was an exclusive one time only way to get poker with clears from the manufacturer. Turns out they had a 300 unit cap which they kept quiet until the buy sold out. After much complaining they then went and upped the cap to 600 units, and in turn increased the lead time by 3 weeks or so, which wasn't taken nicely by those who bought the original 300 expecting a fairly quick turn around. Then recently Massdrop decided that the exclusive one off thing got in the way of them making money so they quietly removed it from all of the pages related to the buy and started hinting at selling more of them. The lack of communication and haphazard/change of direction decisions made on that buy left much distaste in many buyers mouths. This granite buy seems to be no different.
Amen on that. They are a new platform but a number of recent drops have left a bad taste in my mouth. Super annoyed that they delayed shipping for the entire group just to re-open the orders, but then again I was procrastinating and would've been super pissed if I had missed the GB.

Will do if I ever get the chance! Just placed an order, that said, none of the 1.25u keycaps for the right side (+= |\ "' keys) will have legends on them, so I ended up ordering two of the blank keysets, which should give me enough 1.25u to cover those.
Hopefully there will be a trade thread later on, or a Kinesis modifier-pack for the next groupbuy (I'm almost sure there'll be a 3rd round given the popularity!)
Looks like I'm all set, for now!

What about a dark grey mono 1u backtick?
Also, it might be nice to see a dark grey spacebar and number row.. but that's a whole lot of keys to be adding.
I'm still very keen on the dark grey 1.25 arrow keys, and also liked the suggestion of a red 1u PANIC key that I saw requested somewhere.

I can guarantee that in the three months from now until people get their kits you'll be able to find enough people willing to trade, considering like 900 people bought sets.
900 common kits, no clue on the gamer kits.
Also my idea was to buy less than 11.
I'm sure I'll be able to find some trades but I want 12 SI keys, no matter what.
I have to secure that position.

No, but if they agree to trade me then I can cancel one of my 11 gamer kits.
I'd say 6/10 smart aleck.
I'm not a mind reader. I was just providing information. :/

I hate sounding like a broken record, but if you could do that, Granite would be the last set I'd ever use.

Oh well, I got my Sun Microsystems keys in, so I should be happy.

Count me in, 1.75 Esc would go well on that theoretical keyboard I don't have. I usually have Fn or Ctrl there, but Esc could be good too.

For now, I'm just into the yellow/orange mods. (And hopefully the ISO Enter in blue as an extra kit)
The rest isn't interesting for me...
Again, here is what I would really love to see in this crazy little kit:
- - Flask, color: red/green/black on light gray
- Additional RGB (Lavender + Mint + ? )
- 1u RGB keys in RGB or in the alternative color (I really need 2x 1u shift for my minila ISO. I would freak out, if this is possible. :))
- F5-F8 in light gray
- More novelty keys
- 1u mods in light gray for small keyboards like the minila. (The ones which are mapped with FN, so I would like to replace the mapped alphas with the mods: Arrows (one with homing), the whole control block(print,ins,pgup,del,etc..), backspace)
Everything of course in text and icons ;)
++ ISO Enter in blue in additional kit
Many thanks for your attention.

Damn I hope you'll get this sorted !
Mark said this earlier :
Quote
Your first charge will be voided/lapse with Paypal. Once the first amount was authorized, we can't charge you "more" than what you authorized. We also can't charge you that "Full amount" and then "top it off" with another transaction. So the first transaction does/will get voided and the second transaction will go through. Just takes a couple days for everything to settle.

Looking great. I can't think of many 1u suggestions. Maybe a code key to go with the "any key" and "panic"? Ohh, and maybe a "SysRq" key for the mono legend users who want to be a little more nerdy than print screen. If you are running Linux then the key actually has a use - forcing a disk write + shutdown, etc in case of an otherwise frozen system. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key)

Where are the bonus kits being sold? Massdrop? GH? SP?
I think matt3o hasn't made a statement about that, yet.
For novelty keys it's still the flask...
Come on matt, what's wrong with that key? :/
Other suggestions for novelty keys:
- Python Logo
- Trashcan
- Ubuntu Logo
- Stickman
- GNU Logo
- Linux Eyes
- Coffee
- Ying-Yang
- Medipack
- Peace
- Four color deck (one key each): black spades|green clubs|red hearts|blue diamonds
Another two points:
The bonus kit lacks icons. I only got icon mods on all ordered sets and there is just too much text for me in the bonus kit...
And how about more light gray keys? Is this an option?
Post by: Tindron on Thu, 04 September 2014, 02:59:43
But "Any Key" is kind of the joke.
The joke is that it's an "Any" key. An "Any Key" key is like having an "Enter Key" key.

Dear Matt.
If the price of the set is to high at it is, it may be splited in icons and text keys subsets, and that may allow a great reduction in the price of each one. Besides, users with no icons would not have use for them, and Vs.

splitting in text and icons wouldn't half the price (just to be clear). Also, I will probably handle this personally and I'm not sure I want to handle too many options.

If the split kit opens up more room for additional keys I'll suggest my two ideas again. A SysRq key for monolegend people would would prefer that over PrintScr (which actually has a use on linux systems) and maybe a few other geeky keys, but I can't think of much beside the classic "Code" key. I laughed at the idea of a "I'm feeling lucky" button that was bound to your compiler (since it never works the first time), however, I am pretty sure that it is too much text to fit on a single 1u cap :(

That's pretty rough. If it was part of the bigger GB I wouldn't mind paying another 35$, but since it's an extra buy there will be shipping & taxes again.

This granite buy has made me think of the cost of an ergodox to be pretty small, I'll probably just order one soon.

"ANY KEY" generally suits the joke better since the instructions are usually written "Press any key" instead of "Press the any key". If they instructions were press the any key, then having an "Any" key would make sense.

Unfortunately you just missed R2. It ended last week. The set currently being discussed are just lost and found keys for it, which will be distributed separate from the rest of the granite.

Hi Matt3oAny info about adding XDA developers icon key?
With the Android os logo it would be awesome to have that key next to it :D
I would need permission to use that, wouldn't I? Isn't it a forum community?
Mailed XDA today and just got a mail back.
They told me that it was okey to use it :)
If you want i can send the mail conversation to your email.
If you can include this icon I would be insanely happy :D
Kind regards

The mask itself is from V for Vendetta, the original comic and later the (superb) film adaptation. So the symbol has some genuine geek roots. Anonymous stole it rather recently and their use of it has been dubious at best. If you still can't disassociate armed with this knowledge, well... that sucks. :(

I would be in for the text pack. I really want the 1.75u escape and the hyper/meta keys people mentioned before - but some novelty keys would make it even better.Call the key just 'try'
If the split kit opens up more room for additional keys I'll suggest my two ideas again. A SysRq key for monolegend people would would prefer that over PrintScr (which actually has a use on linux systems) and maybe a few other geeky keys, but I can't think of much beside the classic "Code" key. I laughed at the idea of a "I'm feeling lucky" button that was bound to your compiler (since it never works the first time), however, I am pretty sure that it is too much text to fit on a single 1u cap :(

I'm Feeling Lucky fits more in place of Enter/Return
That's a pretty great one.
Unrelated to Granite, this gives me an idea for a retro keyboard inspired by a soviet missile launch computer. Think Metro 2033. The enter key could be "Launch" and esc "Abort", and all the keys that annoying pseudo-cryllic for latin alphabets (and maybe real Cyrillic Russian if anyone is into that)..

I don't mind parting it, though I'd prefer to trade it with some of the novelties from the text pack. I'm basically not much interested in the novelties in the icon pack, but want gnu/git/vim from the text pack. panic/any key and some of the compose/meta keys would be nice too.

I might have found a distributor, the problem is that I hardly see this selling more than 25 items per kit, making this an expensive toy project. I believe the best way to handle this is through PMK website.

You hardly saw R2 coming anywhere near the sales of R1 either ;) Perhaps you don't give yourself enough credit! I am still interested and PMK sounds good to me, as long as the MOQ is low enough in case you are right about sales.
I'll put all the 1u novelties together.
Does this mean there will be three kits now? I would be down for icon + novelty if such things exist. Can we see the latest revisions and rough price updates if anything has changed?
I'm still keen to see a 1u mid grey DON'T PANIC key too, but there doesn't seem to be any other Hitchhikers fans around :( I was thinking of using the red PANIC as my escape key, and the DON'T PANIC as my 1u backspace.

Otherwise, any suggestions? Would any other other Aussies be interested in combining orders? The shipping cost doesn't seem to increase no matter how much I increase the quantity of the kits in my cart.
Edit:
Melissa won't combine the shipping with my other order due to the high likelihood of making a mistake, but she did say:
Quote
Jess-
Unfortunately we have to add individual shipping to each of the small
Granite orders (9.75 each) - we can refund this though when the group buy

I have a very basic - n00b question. I am owing a Filco Majestouch2 105 keyboard and I ordered the granite set from round 2:
common kit,
text modifier,
numpad,
iso enter,
internation DE package,
Now my question is will I be able to use this granite set on my Filco as spacebar, shift, backspace has these little metal stabilizer (Costar) ?

Yes. You will have to transfer the stabilizer clips from the stock keys to the Granite ones. With DSA keys it's possible you will have to use a little piece of tape/saran wrap to get the clips to fit snugly.

So is my interpretation right?
This little white bolts have to much play in the new caps stem so I have to stuff the hole a bit? Is that how it works? (why not glue?)

Yes, you might have to stuff the hole a bit. Try it without any stuffing first. Glue works, but you generally want to be able to take them out so that you can still use the caps on a keyboard with Cherry stabilizers.

Shipping to Australia is nearly $20 for novelty+icon! More expensive than what they've previously charged for a full keyset to be shipped. Hopefully a mistake. Going to see if they can combine the shipping with another order I am waiting on.
Otherwise, any suggestions? Would any other other Aussies be interested in combining orders? The shipping cost doesn't seem to increase no matter how much I increase the quantity of the kits in my cart.
Yes!

The reason you don't use glue is so that you can use the caps again later on a different keyboard. :)

yep.. already bought in on those. I was just mentioning additional ideas. Recently, I was looking to get some WoW key caps, but there were no US source. The one ebay seller I found was in Malaysia. I was thinking about putting together a set submission with some of these key caps.

Yup, round 2 was another run of the whole shebang with some different keys and what not. It's currently being manufactured, I believe. Who knows if there's going to be a round 3. O_O

Massdrop did warn us though that as a consequence of taking more orders beyond their initial order closing would cause manufacturing delays. PMK simply can't produce such a volume and deliver on the schedule they originally planned so in the end everyone has to wait.

And this is another consequence of everyone running GB's every other week. It's great that there's so many new sets and products...until you realize what it really means. Raped wallets and manufacturing delays are never fun.
Couldn't agree more. With so many awesome sets coming like the Hyperfuse GMK, the new Feng GMK, and Booper's Deep Space it's going to be hard to fund all of those in such a short time span.
Essentially Granite round 2 has been pushed back almost 2 months right? They did mention though that there might be multiple shipments. I posted on massdrop asking about it.

Yeah this was a known issues with the manufacturer. I'd be more annoyed by right now I'm waiting for *everything* since everything has been delayed. So I'm kinda kinda twiddling my thumbs at this point, but I ain't even mad.

Am I the only one who doesn't think this is a big deal? Is 2 months extra really that long to have to wait? My only hope is that they aren't rushing things to try to meet arbitrary deadlines. I would much rather them take their time and churn out a quality product than rush to meet demand and receive a box of ****.
It doesn't bug me all that much but I just don't see why we can't start spacing GB's out to give everyone a little breathing room. If every GB gets delayed...well, I predict a lot of not so nice posts and more drama. Would be nice if we could just preemptively avoid that.

There's more than enough people on GH any given day for there to be a significant diversity of people, ethnicities, and genders. It's certainly not a monoculture here.
However, significant others of any sort tend to be the ones who have to deal with the quirks of their mates more than anyone else. But unless they're really boring they have their own obsessions and quirks too. (attempting to generalize the statement)

It would be brilliant if it was ONLY for these items alone but it's not. Also include holidays, furnishings, cars, jewelery, hair care, manicures/pedicures, you name it.

If you have a needy materialistic girlfriend / you can’t see eye to eye on fashion or budgets, that’s between you and her; it’s not okay to defame 50% of the people on the planet on account of your own unhappy relationship(s).
And it’s especially not okay on a forum that is about a totally unrelated topic; it creates a hostile and exclusionary atmosphere, when we want to be welcoming of everyone.
[If you really want to have a discussion of gender relations and relationships, make a new thread in the off topic subforum, though I would recommend against it as I don’t expect you’ll get very productive feedback.]

Elrick I admire your dedication and passion for mechanical keyboards and this great forum but that attitude is a very negative one. Mechanical keyboards and keycaps are not just for guys they are for whoever finds joy in them. I don't think it is a good reflection upon yourself or this community to be saying chauvinistic things such as that. If what you said is truly your belief than fine, but I would prefer you not say things like that out in public.

haha same here! my girlfriend doesn't understand why i put so much money on keyboards ;DThis is the Geekhack way - just order so much crap you never know what's going to show up in the mail! My finances have been a disaster since finding this place :))Am I the only one who doesn't think this is a big deal? Is 2 months extra really that long to have to wait? My only hope is that they aren't rushing things to try to meet arbitrary deadlines. I would much rather them take their time and churn out a quality product than rush to meet demand and receive a box of ****.

Just order more things, youll forget about this :) And get a happy surprise
Yes, women can't understand this obsession we have. Although keep reminding them of their own infatuation for clothing and shoes :thumb: .
In the end it comes down to what can be provided for her (as well) to accept your hobby, hence everything shall be kept discreet and cordial around your own home.

Yeah, it's condescending in addition to being bull****. We're worse off as a community when people spout off worthless crap like that.

That is a bit harsh, in MOST cases it is actually true, a woman will ask you why you need so many keyboards, and you will ask them why they need so many purses or shoes. It can also be the other way around, but again MOST cases are not.

Doesn't matter. It's a stupid generalization that women will ask you why you need so many keyboards. Most men wouldn't understand why we need so many keyboards either. Limiting the generalization to women and bringing in clothing and shoes is totally chauvinistic.

Why do you even start talking about this? It is just waste of time! Women can like keyboards, tech, games etc and men can like shoes,jewelery, hair care, manicures/pedicures etx.

Anecdotally, as someone in the software industry I know a fair number of women who are enthusiasts and appreciate mechanical boards. Generalizations don't go over well with them and some of the things said in this thread would actively drive them away from this community. I just think it's important to point out that not all of us share that line of thinking here.

Same. The timing was just slightly off for me. I thought I got everything that I needed and then the Planck interest check dropped just a few weeks after Granite closed. Now I'm going to have to wait for a round 3 so that I can pick up a second specialty keyboard kit to get all the 1u legends that I need!

Sorry if I'm missing something here, but the system of tracking group buys is super confusing. Is there one place I can see what's coming and put my vote / purchase order in in an organized way — vs. just trolling through threads (some of which have weird sexist tangents, yikes) and trying to figure out what's going on?

Is there a way to get a 6u (preferably PBT) spacebar from anywhere for the infinity or other HHKB inspired layouts?
I am afraid that the best way to go is to get the Infinity in standard design. From my humble point of view, there is no advantage in the Hacker design vs the Standard design, and the first has the issue of the special space bar size.

As one of the first 50 buyers I really hope I get sent one of the first orders. if Mass Drop sends out CONUS first then International I'll be super pissed.

So many people are going to be butthurt if they aren't sent their keysets in this first batch. I think the best thing for them to do is to simply wait until all the keycaps are finished production.

Why isn't Signature Plastics just cranking out a bunch of these and then selling them? Is it a copyright issue? Is there really some gigantic threshold they need to reach before it becomes profitable to sell these keysets? Someone help me out here, because I'm really surprised at the amount of friction here...

Ah, right. As a newcomer, this "group buy" model is real cumbersome. Sounds like SP needs to just contract with Matt3o and handle everything else themselves. My 2¢ anyway.

I don't think that's the problem. I rather think SP's production capacity is limited, and they have other things to do at the moment, and also Massdrop has done a drop just a few months ago that hasn't even been delivered yet. If you ask for another Granite round now after there were two rounds this year that you both missed, I think it's not asking too much to wait for next year for the next round. I'd rather have a full-blown new GB next year with all the great options like international, colors and novelty keys than a small afterburner round right now with only the basic sets.This seems like such a weird lapse in supply-and-demand.

If anyone has an extra Core set and Pro mod set they are willing to part with I would love to buy :-[
Hopefully someone has an extra text mod pro kit they sell me once all the granite ships. I'm an idiot for not picking it up :(

6.25u spacebar warped badly enough it causes Cherry plate stabs to hang

Caps lock keys are a good average for the level of warpage, some keys are worse than this and some keys are better

I don't think I'll be ordering anything manufactured by SP ever again and I'm about 2 seconds away from cancelling my Deep Space order. For the amount of money these keys cost I'm pretty disappointed. I didn't have anything like this from the $20 BangGood PBT set I bought and the Granite set cost 5x that much.
Also, I thought these keys would be packed in that nice little black and blue box from SP with the DSA "thank you" keys on top, but the bags of keys were just thrown into a brown shipping box.

My granite set arrived today. However, I'm not very happy with it. Virtually every key bigger than 1.25u is warped to the point of being unusable without working it over with a hair-dryer. Essentially all the stabilized keys are warped enough to cause Cherry plate stabs to hang. Many of the keys have visible cruciform mold irregularities on the key face. Almost all the keys have some level of light scratch marks from rubbing against other keys (during shipping?).Show Image(https://imgur.com/4DXgVsD.jpg)

That is really disappointing.. It is going to look really bad on SP if a lot of sets turn out like this. PBT is different than ABS plastic so the properties are a bit different but some of those keys look like garbage. Also the fact you can see the stem molds through the top...

If it were just any one of the three issues I wouldn't be that bothered, but it hardly seems worth the effort to spend a few hours burning my fingers with a hair dryer to fix keys with cruciform molding marks and scratches. :'(
Post by: Lubed Up Slug on Fri, 28 November 2014, 19:49:02
I truly expected and would have been fine with warped space bars. With the material being PBT and as big of a key as the space bar is some warping is tolerable. However, I was very surprised to find all my 2u and bigger keys are warped badly enough to cause brand new Cherry plate stabs on stock clear switches to hang. Even my 1.5u keys don't sit flush.

Can you describe this process of using a hair dryer to fix warped keys in case any of the rest of us need to do such a thing?

It's possible that someone has a better method for this because mine involves a lot of trial and error.
Basically you take a hair dryer and point it at the back of the key heating it up until it's almost too hot to touch then gently flex the key in the direction needed. Sometimes you end up tweaking a little too far and have to heat it back up and go the other direction. Other times if you haven't tweaked it enough you'll have to heat it up once or twice more and keep working on it until it sits flush.
If you're working on stabilized keys then throughout the entire process you'll have to wait for the key to cool down and test it to see at what point it starts behaving as expected.
The space bars are the easiest to correct because you can get some serious leverage and use their length to your advantage. The smaller keys like 1.5u and 1.75u are an absolute PITA not only to heat up (burns your fingers way more) but they're so short it's hard to really tweak them that much.

Though these costar inserts are suck, there's not grip to them at all. My 1.25u Fn from Text Mods got mixed up with a 1u Fn from someones Text Pro Mods though. I used my only 1.25u Fn from R1 Pro Mods and put a Pn in place of left Fn.
If there was anything else missing or incorrect, I haven't noticed just yet. Though, I have so many Granite caps, I don't know if I ever will notice o_o;
One thing I noticed is the sprue marks are all top-aligned this time around. One thing that bugged me from R1 was they were often sprued at the sides or the bottom in relation to the legends orientation.

Here's the underside of the 0 key from my numpad set
[attach=1]
As you can see, it's clearly not thick PBT... which I sort of expected anyways. Maybe this is why it bowed and warped... as you all know PBT, especially thin PBT, has a way of doing that.

It's the last thing I need to make my incoming Granite kit work with my keyboard(s).
I can either pay you for the spacebar or can trade you some extras from my following kits:

This might be a stretch, but does anyone have an extra 7u spacebar (or maybe ordered one but don't need it?)
I will have one that I'm happy to trade. I know that I'm looking for a couple caps, but need to figure out which.

I also noticed a slight bow on the left and right side of the longer keys. It won't really be a problem.. especially since I'm using costar stabs... but thought it was strange none the less. I've never seen that happen before.

A lot of my keys were bowed similar to that as well. It kind of corrected itself as I was bending the keys with the hair dryer since the direction I needed to bend them caused the middle to bow back out.
Do many of your keys have the cruciform deformities on the key face? The deformities on mine are prominent enough I can feel them with my fingers. It really makes the set look and feel cheap :'(

This is honestly a shame. I was really hoping for improvements from R1 and the pictures I'm seeing so far look like setbacks. I feel for you strict. If mine shows up like this, I'm going to be really disappointed in SP. Their ABS sets are awesome, but for the life of me I can't figure out why they didn't try to fix the PBT problems more before allowing R2.

+1. I think in total my entire granite order between Massdrop and PMK is somewhere around $250 and that's a lot of money.. Quality shouldn't be an issue at that price point.

Yes, unfortunately, mine also have cruciform deformities. I had to really feel for it though... otherwise I couldn't really tell.. but maybe that's just me.

I didn't get a grey iso enter or the UK international keys. Anyone have any of these to trade/sell? (can't post in classifieds yet)
Also I don't want to cut the G, H and B keys to use them on my Tex Yoda, but blanks weren't offered. Any recomendations on where to get suitable keys (blank dsa) to cut so I dont ruin the set?
The built in track point is great but while no kits offer special 'trackpoint keys' its a pain in the ass.

Last time I did this I used a heavy book on a hard flat surface to press the key, then circled it with a hair dryer. Saved my fingers and made sure it was more or less level.

Just be careful when doing it. I ruined a IMSTO spacebar using this method. Think I added to much weight.

Unless sp steps their game up I don't think I'll be joining very many of their group buys anytime soon. Also thin abs kind of sucks on the dcs sets.

I assume that is referring to delivery to Massdrop from SP, not delivery from Massdrop.
Useful to know but not all that insightful.

Does this suggest they printed all/many keys from international sots backwards? :O
Post by: Lpwl on Sat, 06 December 2014, 14:09:14
What I was able to noticed:
- UK set : no problem.
- DE set : 3 keys are missing.
- ES set : 1 key is wrongly printed.
- FR set : 1 key is wrongly printed and 4 keys are missing.

Bonus set didn't go through MD at all, it went through PMK, so it'll be shipping directly from SP.Matt3o said :last time they told me "as soon as Granite R2 is fully delivered"

I got mine today... I am still looking to trade for:
1 2u Icon Enter (I think just the numpad kit had that)
1 1.5u icon delete(or backspace) key
2 (yes, two) 1.5u Icon FN keys (Horizontal)
Once the PMK GB (PMK Granite Bonus Icon Pack (http://www.pimpmykeyboard.com/deals/granite-bonus-pack-icon/)) ships, I'll have a 1.5u icon delete. Would love to trade for that for a 1.5u Caps Lock.
P.S. Renton, WA? I'm in Bellevue. Shipping wouldn't take very long. ;-)

I think it's reasonable to assume the people who joined later will be getting their kits later as well. I'm the 172nd who joined so I'm probably at the end of the delivery list.

In the MD thread, it says that they are expecting the RBG kits to start shipping to them on 12/11 -
Quote
I did manage to get ahold of the vendor and they let me know the following:
"The green material for the last two Granite sets is due in tomorrow. We plan to mold the remaining keys this week then start sublimating next week."
Currently they plan to have these finished and shipped out to us on 12/11. I am trying to see what my options are for getting these in sooner and will let you all know what I come up with.

They changed the way they do order numbers about a month ago. They changed it from a number of people in the buy, to number of items. So if person one buys 3 of the item (kits for granite) person 2 will be number 4.

Hi guys, exaclty same problem here. Anybody willing to trade for the missing keys? Please check my trading chart. Keys marked with an X are not available. The ones marked with a circle are either missing or missprinted. I'm really looking for those two. Also take a look to the other attached image for other keys available for sale or trade. And finally I'm looking for an extra backspace key since mine broke while mounting. Thanks in advance.Just got my R2 sets.
No missing key so that's good. but I noticed my text modifier set came with a 1 unit FN key instead of a 1.25 unit one (https://d2qmzng4l690lq.cloudfront.net/resizer/908x549/r/MD-3318_20140823133748_455d6461815482f5.jpg) Anyone with the same problem?
Should I contact SP directly for things like this?
Same problem, the FN key is 1u instead of 1.25u.
... I'm also missing ten keys from one of my International kit and one key was printed inverted (like a mirror).Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/01j8kV2.jpg)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/HAHvUNG.jpg)

The bad news is that in both the Massdrop as well as the Bonus Pack, Signature Plastics seems to have misaligned quite a few of the Icon Keycaps.
The poor "pause/break" keycap is probably the worst.

But its still apparent with many others.

I hope this do not prevent you to proceed with your upcoming SA kits, after all, the quality issues were related with SP learning curve for PBT injection molding and die sublimating for the legends, nothing to do with double shot SA in ABS, as far as I know most SA kits have been manufactured with no issues.

I am personally pretty happy with how everything turned out. O love PBT and the texture and the colors look great. Sure some keys had a little blemishes on the back (no enough plastic?) but it doesn't really show when put on a board. If I didn't read about people having (slightly) off centered legends I would have never noticed them. For the price everything should have been perfect, but I am still very glad that this but happened and that I have this kit. Thanks Matt!

So we have
10 missing keys in the international set,

warped enter and Space keys,
the , ; key is vertically flipped,
so quite a lot things did not work out as expected.
Just received my 2nd order (+ bonus pack from SP) and yeap I can confirm every single issue you have.
Massdrop sent those international sets knowing that a complete row was missing since the beginning of December (see my post (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=61612.msg1552731#msg1552731)).
Sadly - as Matt3o explained (here (http://deskthority.net/vendors-f52/preparing-granite-round-2-t8575-630.html#p199047)) - MD does not really give a f*ck about European customers.
Not cool.

I really hope we'll have the missing and faulty keycaps replaced , the main selling point of this keyset to me was the possibility to create a Azerty Keyset . At least I got a notification that the keycap puller was being sent , it wasn't in the original package .So we have
10 missing keys in the international set,
an FN key that is only 1u,
warped enter and Space keys,
the , ; key is vertically flipped,
so quite a lot things did not work out as expected.
Just received my 2nd order (+ bonus pack from SP) and yeap I can confirm every single issue you have.
Massdrop sent those international sets knowing that a complete row was missing since the beginning of December (see my post (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=61612.msg1552731#msg1552731)).

I'm also aiming to compose my own Azerty keyset but between SignaturePlastics mistakes and Massdrop laziness, it is becoming a headache.

Massdrop just sent me another shipping notification, even though I haven't heard back from them about the misprinted keys yet. So I can't tell if they're shipping me replacements or if its just a faulty message or what. :-XIt's the rgb keys. If you check the massdrop discussion thread they got massdrop to send them their incomplete orders because the rgb keys were taking too long.
Post by: neverlast74 on Sat, 27 December 2014, 07:55:07
SP produced faulty products - MD did not check the international packages properly or they did but sent out anyways - as everyone was already waiting for their caps.
I would not know what MD could or should have done other than - send out knowing it is not perfect. At the same time MD should go back to SP tell them they to do some of the stuff again - and send the faulty/remaining in a second swing/attempt. But the production capacity of SP is probably not flexible enough to cover these extra compensation/reparation production. Looking forward how they deal with it. Given the fact that for MD this shipping represents a lot of customers. They hopefully care about the group of customers of keyboard afficionados - but even if they care the question remains is SP willing to MD to do so because m a y b e SP wants to damage MD as a distribution channel and push their own... pimpmykeyboard?
All this is based on my fictitious ideas and I have no real info!

You probably won't be able to see it because this is a shot of the top of the caps, but the 1.25 caps have a slight warp to them.
Not too bad. About as much as the ones from my R1 set. I will have to wait until I put them on a board with my R1 caps to see for sure.Show Image(http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd490/CurtisandCrystal/Curts%20Pcs/20141129_234336.jpg)

Regarding the case I opened for my Granite order, I got pretty much exactly the same answer as you, azhdar. I was never asked to ship anything back (I would not be too happy about that, if I was). I'm pretty okay with how MD is handling it. Clearly the situation is a mess, I think they are doing the best they can. I'm sure I'll get the correct keys eventually. I'm not in a rush.

Yeah, I'd be livid. Henry needs to check his ****, because that's not how this works.
Offer to ship him the wrong/broken/warped(?) keys only. He can send you the replacements plus the missing keys. This is how SP will handle it on their side, so he should be able to make it work on his. Those are the breaks when you decide you're going to be the middleman and do all the sorting on your own (and consequently **** it up).

If Massdrop got more of those they might straighten out their order fulfillment. ... Or eventually lose the ability to process credit card payments, which is probably 99% of their business.

Unfortunately a lot of keys are missing/wrong printed here and there, especially in the International Kit. But we knew that, right?
I hope Massdrop/SP can handle this. Did everyone write to Massdrop?
I mixed Round 1 and 2 and created two new setups. I'm sharin':

Also my RGB kit wasn't in the set arrived a few days ago. Shouldn't the ones with RGB get it late, but get it together?
Can anyone just summarize what's happening over there in the discussion over on the massdrop website, and what do we have to do now. Clearly.

You should email Massdrop about the issues with your set. They need to work with SP to get everyone affected replacements. The reason your RGB set didn't arrive with the rest of your order is because after more than a month of pressure to just ship what they have, they finally caved for orders still waiting on the RGB mods. My understanding is that for most people these are arriving about a week after the rest of the order was received. I would imaging that will vary some based on your location and your order number, so it could be more than that. I'm not sure if they send a second shipping notification - I got mine all in one shipment.
The trouble is that SP is saying that Massdrop didn't tell them about QC issues until January 7th, when they were reported to MD *long* before that. Why they would have waiting until the 7th is a mystery to me. Furthermore, SP is saying that MD has been non responsive in their attempts to resolve this issue. MD has also been very quiet with the customer base on how and when this is going to finally get resolved. Basically, everyone is stuck waiting for an update from MD.

I had to shorten (= sanded) one of the two stabilizer inserts so it would fit nicely into my 2.25u and 2.75u modifiers keycaps (green SHIFT + blue ENTER).
Am I the only one ?Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/NmObQB3.jpg)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/gJCOe4T.jpg)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/Xb2gH1d.jpg)
I had the same issue with my space bar and some other modifier.

I am a idiot. My set just arrived from Massdrop and it's missing some keys. The thing is, I included the "Text Modifier Pro" set but I did not include the "Text Modifier" set and now my Poker II is missing the Shift, Alt, Ctrl, Super, Fn, Etc.
Is there anyone willing to sell/trade me this set? Please PM me.
Thanks

Just a suggestion - if you can't find a seller for what you need, you might consider buying the DSA PBT blank "Modifier Set" (Gray - GDE) from the PMK keyshop. They are blanks but at least you'll have keys of the same profile+colour.

i have a lot of warped keys that is not too bad but still warped. I would like to know if you guys would just be ok with it or try to fix it yourselves or report back to MD? I havent done any detailed inspection but some of it even 1u caps are a bit warped. Ill try to check later and get some pics of how warped it is.
The keys that are long like enter, right shift or backspace are the most warped. I will try to put them in hot water and try to get them straight. I really do not like the way they look because the gap between enter and right shift looks wider as both keys are warped.

I've posted there, but I need a ?/ key ASAP, please, if anyone can help.
It is not included in your base set already? It would be difficult to get it standalone, unless someone wants to make a set incomplete.

Post by: magicsam2015 on Tue, 31 March 2015, 12:57:55
I already posted it on DT but just to be sure I maximized the views I posted here too.
I am trading some of my Granite keycaps!
Please see the pictures.
Please also note that for the moment I only accept trades and might sell some later, because I am looking for specific keycaps to complete my set. Of course I am willing to buy any caps that I am looking for.
The caps I am looking for are squared in purple in the pictures, which are mainly Apple kit, the orange 1.25 Menu key from Lost&found kit, sound and play keys and some Nerdom kit. Top priority to 2 Japanese ¥ mono legend (I'm sure most of you don't need it^^)
Thanks a lot!

I'm wondering how they are running it if Round 2 was the 'final' run... :confused:Because making money trumps everything else.
Post by: dante on Sat, 04 April 2015, 09:05:33
Just a got mail from Massdrop that yet another Round of Granite DSA has started.
Are there really guys who don't have a set yet? :p
I haven't. I've secretly always wanted a TEX Beetle - and the Granite takes care of nearly everything except that space bar!! Really TEX??? :-X

I suppose MD chosen not to run it because it was a low runner, only 116 packs were sold, including icon and text ones.

Dealing with Massdrop was not a pleasant experience but I guess we don't have a choice.

On the massdrop thread for the Granite GB (which I am convinced I have to join now): what keyboard is that that is being used to model the caps?
It looks like the varmilo VA87M they had a buy for sometime earlier.

So is this run going to have properly aligned icons? Massdrop said all the keycaps were like that and it wasn't their responsibility to do quality control.
I suggest asking massdrop as the group buy is on their site.

Hey everyone,
As requested by the community we've added the Blue ISO Enter kit, and the Bonus kits for the TEXT modifiers, ICON modifiers, and Novelty keys.
Thanks all,
Cheers

Did anyone pick up the blank kit? I could use two 1.5u ones, and a 1u if anyone has them. Thanks :)
Yes sir. If you can't find anyone else in the US, ping me a message around the drop time and I can cut you a deal :thumb:
Post by: Smasher816 on Tue, 18 August 2015, 14:02:28
I've been playing around with the planck recently and it's been a good experience. I was hopping that I might be able to use my granite set on it but I would need the 1u enter and shift from the specialty kit. Anyone know someone with them? Thanks :cool:
Post by: skuko on Tue, 25 August 2015, 04:59:40
on second thought, they may have been like that since the start, i honestly couldn't say.
just saying because the other keys dyesubbed with red colour may be affected?
will edit later.
