Shipping
Shipping will be invoiced SEPARATELY and will come from mashby (http://geekhack.org/index.php?action=profile;u=23681) after your order has been sorted, packaged and ready for shipping.
We will be using USPS Priority Mail, which provides the following advantages:
- Boxed packaging to protect your order
- Tracking number for ensuring delivery
- $50 insurance for your order
*For any order larger than a small flat-rate box, we plan on using other boxes and ship by weight. Since key caps are light, this can substantially reduce the cost of shipping.
Remember, you won't be charged for shipping fee until your order has been packaged.
Estimated Shipping Costs
The pricing table below is the MAXIMUM shipping charge, could be cheaper at the end, depends on your actual order
| Box Size | U.S. | Can. | Inter. |
| Small Priority Mail Box | $6 | $20 | $24 |
| Medium Priority Mail Box | $13 | $40 | $60 |
| Large Priority Mail Box | $17 | $53 | $78 |
How Many Keys Fit In A Box?
One set should fit in a Small Priorty Mail box. However, if you order more than one set, then you will more than likely need a Medium box. We expect that large orders will be reserved for vendors orders, like Techkeys, etc.
Additional Fees
Each invoice will include PayPal fees and a $3 handling fee at maximum.
What About Proxies?
We're looking into it, but it depends on the number of orders coming from. Additional PayPal fees and complexity may negate the benefits of having a proxy. We're still examining options though and should we choose to exercise that option, then you'll simply pay less in shipping.
===> After filling the order form, please PM me in case you want to change your shipping information.
===> We know everyone wants to get the keys timely, safety, and for a fair price. mashby and I will try to provide it.
Notes
- You will receive two invoices. One, from me, for the key caps. The other one, from mashby, for the shipping fee. The invoice for keycaps from me will be sent to everyone after the GB has closed. And you will be charged for shipping fee when your order's ready to ship to you.
- We will prepare some replacements for the missing keys. Keep in mind that those kits has been ordered as pre-sorted and pre-packed kits, so any faulty or missing key is SP's mistake, not our distributor's. So please be patient while we trying to help resolving the problem with your keyset. If anything bad happens to the package while on shipping, we're sorry but can not do anything about it.
- Same as the Valentine GB, there will be no extra set for sale after this GB closed. So please put your order in before it's too late ;) The GB for these Spherical, High profile Military themed keysets, along with all its unique legends will be run one time only - it's NOW!
- I will send invoice through Paypal to everyone, so you need a verified Paypal account to receive, and to pay. Also please check the information carefully before submitting your order. There will be paypal fee added to the price.
- If you want to make changes to your order, just SUBMIT a NEW one with the NEW numbers, also inform me through PM: http://geekhack.org/index.php?action=pm;sa=send;u=6989 (http://geekhack.org/index.php?action=pm;sa=send;u=6989) that you did it. I will replace your old order by the new one.

FAQs
Q. What is SA family profile?
A. SA family profile: high profile, spherical top and sculptured.
In the picture: usual DCS profile on the left, SA profile in the middle, DSA profile on the right
(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-eiDx8CDlkes/UdxSLMBAVSI/AAAAAAAAEIQ/oRNvBvNeHeI/w1358-h526-no/20121126_161124.jpg)
Q. Why SA family?
A. SA family keycap has high profile like the keycap from old typing machine before the 80's. It goes smoothly with the "old" colors of this set. In addition to the high profile, the SA family keycap is also thick (a lot thicker than regular DCS keycap). It's Military Grade keycap (lol) - it matches the theme of this set very well. The thick keycap makes the sound very different when typing on it. It's just BETTER!
(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-96l5wUOWynM/UeG7d7ueiII/AAAAAAAAET8/psTjGN6faUI/w1000-h667-no/thicknesscompare.png)
Q. Do we have full row profiles for this SA family set?
A. YES!!!
The set will have the row profile like this
Esc row - ROW1
~ 1 2 3 row - ROW2
Tab row - ROW3
Caps row - ROW3
Shift row - ROW3
Ctrl row - ROW4
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-x6rTdVPb5nA/Udxqt0sipFI/AAAAAAAAEK4/DxuDPsZdD6M/w1358-h265-no/sa.png)
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-hTx62yNtaFk/Ud2E-4KW0FI/AAAAAAAAEQI/EiL4rbeQVNY/w1358-h190-no/sa-mod.png)
(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-bugEkHai_II/UeQdGCtYx_I/AAAAAAAAEWc/Rq4E70iEoDI/w875-h301-no/sa-on-filco.png)
- Perfect SA set in every aspect of aesthetic: full sizes, full rows, no gap, no wrong profile in one row
- Colemak / Dvorak / Whatever layouts people like this because the main typing area (QWERTYUIOP[]|ASDFGHJKL;'ZXCVBNM,./) is in the same profile
- Main typing area in the same profile, but the function row, the number row (` ~ row) and the bottom row (Ctrl row) still have higher angle profile so it's still more ergonomic than flat profile of DSA keys ^.^
Q. Why Matte top finish?
A. Life of a soldier is tough, so I use rough keys!
Kid. If we go with the Matte finish, so almost every key will have the same finish. Only exceptions are 1.75x and 2.75x ROW3, in Semi-matte finish. You don't want the mixture of gloss keys with matte keys in a set right :v
Q. Will some keys be shorter than usual, such as 2x & 2.5x keys of the SPH Round 4 instead of 2.25x & 2.75x?
A. No. We have full sizes of key for this 23 Commando set. 1x to 7x. If you want something more special, do not hesitate to request.
Q. The Text legends of the mockup are a liltle bit stiff. How are the real legends?
A. The mockups mostly serve one purpose: gives you the better idea of the color scheme and helps you picture the real product easier. Don't believe the mockups too much, try to imagine the final keyset by your colorful mind.
The fact is I don't have the correct font that SP actually use on their SA keys. Even SP said it's very hard for them to make new Text legend looking the same as their old legend's hard copies. So well you should have a look at this photo (in courtesy of megaxpop) to see how the real legends look like (or more here http://deskthority.net/wiki/Round4_SPH (http://deskthority.net/wiki/Round4_SPH)):
(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-44XUU8vSEzs/UeTnIgN8YaI/AAAAAAAAEZU/sGbg-Qb_qU4/w1358-h763-no/1040421_10151758548798420_344646297_o.jpg)
Q. So every legend will look like those from SPH Round 4 set?
A. No. I selected several different legends. Such as:
ESC, not ESCAPE
BACKSPACE, not BACK SPACE
CTRL, not CONTROL
etc...
I prefer the short text legends because it make every legend looks uniform in size of font. To have long text fit on the top of a key, sometimes the font size will have to be smaller than usual, makes the key looks out of place.
It's a pity that SP doesn't have the legends PG UP and PG DN so I have to use PAGE UP & PAGE DOWN. Though the font is not different from the others but I'm still thinking about it. If many people want, we might end up have 2 new legends of PG UP and PG DN. I hope so.
And one more good news, the SHIFT legends will be remade. Those who have the SPH Round 4 set will understand this better than me.

LOL. i hate SPH`s wrong size and gap. i thought its going to DCS.. pass.
-
Awesome, I definitely wanna try a complete set of SHP keycaps. Is it exactly the same as those SHP custom R4 keycaps listed on pimpmykeyboard?
-
Interested, but would like to know shipping costs before commiting, also are you going to wait until you hit 75 base kits and then 2 weeks, or just 2 weeks?
Edit: Also any way of ordering just extra spacebars ? As I'd like to buy 2 extra.
-
LOL. i hate SPH`s wrong size and gap. i thought its going to DCS.. pass.
No wrong size, no gap this time. Read the FAQs for more info.
Awesome, I definitely wanna try a complete set of SHP keycaps. Is it exactly the same as those SHP custom R4 keycaps listed on pimpmykeyboard?
Yes. Those custom keys you talking about are ROW3 profile.
Interested, but would like to know shipping costs before commiting, also are you going to wait until you hit 75 base kits and then 2 weeks, or just 2 weeks?
Edit: Also any way of ordering just extra spacebars ? As I'd like to buy 2 extra.
Shipping cost - should be the same with other GBs because using the same method of shipping (USPS, or special request). But the actual amount only available after the distributor knows how many keys you order to estimate the cost.
If you want anything special, just list them in the Notes section of the Google order form.
-
Great work, I will consider buying the complete set for my upcoming military keyboard.
The LED keys are really cool, I didn't know they could be done for sph
Awesome news about the gap too, bummer about the profiles tho.
-
If the only reason bugs everyone is the profile, then I still have a solution for a near "perfect" SA set in this situation
We will have the row profile like this
Esc row - ROW1
~ 1 2 3 row - ROW2
Tab row - ROW3
Caps row - ROW3
Shift row - ROW3
Ctrl row - ROW4
It should be like this

- Perfect SA set in every aspect of aesthetic: full sizes, full rows, no gap, no wrong profile in the same row
Cons:
- The main typing area (QWERTYUIOP{}|ASDFGHJKL:"ZXCVBNM<>?) in the same profile. You might not like it, if you don't like the typing feeling over the DSA keyset
Now it's the question, are you okay with it, or the original idea still better?
-
I liked your original idea because I want to try something different than dsa.
But, I am a stickler for uniformity by a huge margin.
So, in the end I'd go for option 2 for uniformity.
-
Any chance to add on doubleshot caps and scroll locks to the standard set, and a doubleshot num lock key to the 10key set? Order submitted either way.
Edit: One good thing about having the alphanums all row 3 is colemak/dvorak/whatever layouts can just swap around keys without having to buy extra caps with the right profile (or just be SOL).
-
That profile looks pretty godawful in my personal opinion. All of the military or ruggedized industrial keyboards I've seen have very low profile keys.
-
Nice! Enter/Return should be labeled "Affirmative" tho :3
-
Kit 1.1 is that the off center stemmed stepped capslock?
-
Nice concept! Any chance we could order additional 1x blanks? I'd like a set for the keyboard below, but it uses a non-standard number block (top three keys are mouse buttons, etc.).
[attachimg=1]
Edit: And a full-set of blanks? Custom legends are okay, but I'd be more interested in this set for the key profile.

Thanks for you two comments.
About the lock keys, I think the current keys is quite special, no?
That profile looks pretty godawful in my personal opinion. All of the military or ruggedized industrial keyboards I've seen have very low profile keys.
I know this set is not for everyone.
And after this GB, you will see the first time ever military keyboards in very high profile.
Nice! Enter/Return should be labeled "Affirmative" tho :3
Nice idea, why didn't we discuss about it ealier?
Kit 1.1 is that the off center stemmed stepped capslock?
Yes, there are 2 left stemmed stepped keys in the kit: CAPS and CTRL

About blank keys, if many people want, I could provide it also.
-
About the lock keys, I think the current keys is quite special, no?
The windowed lock keys are cool, but not really necessary on some boards (and there is a certain peace-of-mind knowing that all the legends on the board are doubleshot.
Random Question: Is this GB paying for the moulds for the shift keys?

^This^ maybe only the Base part

Because I didnt know about this keyset before...

subscribed!
-
I had no idea that there were different finishes available.
Oh, and this set is AMAZING! :eek:
-
This is a VERY cool set! I like it a lot. Too bad all the fun caps have to be purchased separately in a set rather than making a base TKL set with most of them included, as the original theme went.
-
Let's rock and go.
-
It looks cool.
But I'm not sure SA Family would fit me.
-
Very nice jil_jil32, finally a full on SA key-set.
Needless to say, hooked on this like a kid with cake ;D .
Thanks for running this.
-
I knew there was a reason I kept the default springs in my MX Whites Phantom within a Filco Camo case. Perfect for the thicker/heavier SA profile 23 Commando set.

Alright alright, I understand you want to have an entire board of THICK DOUBLESHOT keys =P~ That's just GREAT! 8-> Okay I will see what I can do...
This GB can not do such a miracle thing... yet.

Yeah if many people want it, I can provide the blank keys as well. But let's say I will do it if only the main kits get good numbers okay? It's the highest priority now ^_^
If other people just want small quantity of some specific blank keys, please note it in the order form.
Nice! Enter/Return should be labeled "Affirmative" tho :3

Many thanks!!!
This is a VERY cool set! I like it a lot. Too bad all the fun caps have to be purchased separately in a set rather than making a base TKL set with most of them included, as the original theme went.
About the original origin of my ideas, the two kits form a complete kit. I splitted it because of the price. The standard kit now suites the people want to try the SA family keyset in affordable price, with the color scheme and everything that I could do with SP library of legends and tooling availabitity to have those default text legends and such...
The spirit of the 23 Commando set is still there. You just need... the spirit to order the upgrade kit ~.~
And... I've already had a guy ordered the upgrade kit 1.1, but said that he's not going to use the novelty keys... If things go well, I might post a list of things people order the whole kit but have no use of, so others can just contact the guy and discuss about it... later later...
Let's rock and go.
It's getting rolling... bro Lotus :D
It looks cool.
But I'm not sure SA Family would fit me.
You never know... till you try it bro ^_^

Oh god, I love the theme! But I am really not sure whether I like the SA profile. I can't imagine typing efficiently on those big ass caps.
I'll have to think about it a couple of days...

I had no idea that there were different finishes available.
Oh, and this set is AMAZING! :eek:
So does this mean I have a choice between having all the keys glossy and having the keys matte?

What's the significance of '23' in the name?
If I hadn't just bought the DSA set, I'd probably go for this; I really wanted SA but everyone was all "SA is missing too many keys to do anything useful on a modern board".
I like the "alternative colour F1-F4, F9-F12" part of the expansion kit.... having done my top row all one colour in DSA, it's a choice I'm disappointed isn't always available.
-

as an owner of a Round 4 SPH set i have to say the wrong profile keys and odd sized mods are not that big of a deal at all. typing on the caps is the **** too.
my only complaint is that o-rings and dampeners do not work on SPH caps. however, i am going to cut up a bunch of dampners and place them on the plate to hush the bottom out. i will let you know if it works or if i am suddenly in the market for a tube of Goo Gone...

The super-fat o-rings from imsto work fine on SA-series caps. I used two for extra weight.

Well that's good news! My "fat" o-rings from IMSTO have been laying around without use because they don't work well with any of my "normal" caps.

I hope to add tricheboars and Photoelectric to the order list very soooon! ^0^
Here's a pic comparing the thickness of 3 kinds of keycaps: DSA, DCS and SA for those who doesn't know about them yet ^^
As you can see, the SA keys is SO thick! And both its first shot part and second shot part look so clean, very nice just to look at it.
The mordern key like DCS is thin. It uses less material because of cost cutting purpose.

And, order MOREEE, people!!! <3
-
I'm thinking about it... Problem is that while I really like the set, I probably won't have a free board to use it on, color-match-wise. It's definitely one of the most interesting sets I've seen though, on par with DSA Retro.
-
I see you're so skillful that you can paint the metalic copper case...It's so cool... Let's do something with the military theme then ^o^
-
Thank you! That one's getting Lysol's "Ural" dye sub (orange / charcoal)! I've got all my keyboards already "assigned" with sets =( But maybe I'll come up with something before this GB closes!
-
Not a huge fan of the color combo but it's SA so I probably have to take it. Anyway I would take it only if we go with all ALPHA in ROW3, I don't like the other solution much. How would you handle that? I place my order now and cancel it later in case you go mixed profile?
-
best of wishes!
this is not the type of keyset I want, but it really looks nice!
-

Same here, don't mind the colour because it will go hand in hand with a Filco Camouflage keyboard so easily (very little love for that product anywhere).
Just loving the SA profile and having SP finally pour the plastic into these babies instead of giving us the 'sh!t-poor' DCS thin wall standard (too much of that everywhere now). Anyway it's time for the SA to stand up and be proud of it's luscious heaviness. Just like some fat kid in a corner deli wanting all the lollies on the top shelf, and getting them 8) .

Maybe Jil will do survey on here and then depending on the vote, decide the profile.
Anyway, we need to reach at least 75 kits haha.
If the only reason bugs everyone is the profile, then I still have a solution for a near "perfect" SA set in this situation
We will have the row profile like this
Esc row - ROW1
~ 1 2 3 row - ROW2
Tab row - ROW3
Caps row - ROW3
Shift row - ROW3
Ctrl row - ROW4
It should be like this

Yeah I strongly agree your opinion :) That's why reason I joined this GB.
-
also consider that the all-alpha-on-row-3 solution should be cheaper.
PS: order placed!
-
Kit 1.2 has the 1.75 shift?
didn't read 2nd post, my bad. will be orderinig soon.
-
So which profile are we using for this gb? SA standard or the alternate SA?
-
@Rendom: I'm waiting to add you into the list ^.^ If you have any question just ask...
@Elrick & chaosstep: making something different is exactly what I want to do in this GB. I've seen too many DCS sets, even Cherry old style sets everywhere recently. They are nice keys, but since everyone uses them and they are in every picture threads here and there, I like them less ~.~
@berserkfan: thanks ^^
@Matt3o & Latin00032: I will let people decide the route to go after we reach 50 orders of standard kit. I will post up a vote for people in the GB to choose what they want. After that, you still can modify your order in case you're not happy with the result.
The more I think about the all-row3-alphas solution, the more I like it hahah :3 It will be a perfect 23 Commando set in appearance if it goes this way!
The all-row3-alphas SA family is nice on a Filco board, eh? :p

That looks better. The OCD inside me won't be able to look at that keyboard with 3 or 4 keys looking out of place. Granted, the ergonomics would be better with a normal stepped key set but the 3 or 4 oddly angled keys would stare into my soul.
It also sucks to say that we removed the original setup and ergonomics of most of the keys on this set just to make it "look better".
I still might jump on this gb anyway no matter the final vote.
-
I would make a decision now about the row layout so you do not risk to receive too many order cancellations.
IMHO the alpha-on-the-same-angle is a better choice, but the GB is yours, pick one and stick with it :)

-
You guys have a good point. I was put off initially because I didn't know how the keys were going to lay out since there was no "official" commitment to the stepping of the keys.
You might need to commit to a layout now or at least put it to a vote very soon while people have this gb on their radar.
-
Oh... I need some time for re-listing the detalis of the kits, making the new mock-ups. Maybe some keys will be added because of the change, so the price would be adjusted a little...
-
You did a really great job jil_jil32 with this set. I don't understand why it is not receiving more consensus, this is probably the first SA set done right.
Maybe it's the color combo that is not very SA related... Usually SA is associated to retro colors, this is a bit too playful, but still it deserves more success.
-
Thanks for the compliment bro...
I know the colorway of this set is quite new, but let's think it just the first SA family set running by me and I want to have something fresh and unique with the modifiers for the first completed SA set...
Next time we will have an upgrade modifiers kit that I'd also like to have to go together with this Brown on Beige base part. Most likely will be Tan/Beige on Brown... That would look more *related * I'm sure :cool:
@ everyone: this 23 Commando keyset will officially have the profile like this
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-hTx62yNtaFk/Ud2E-4KW0FI/AAAAAAAAEQI/EiL4rbeQVNY/w1358-h190-no/sa-mod.png)

The reason I did it because I want to have a completed SA family keyset that does not have any different profile in one row, and still remain the ergonomic of the set as much as possible.
So in the end of this GB, we will have a perfect SA family set with no gap, no wrong profile key in same row and still be a full row profiles keyset!!

Thanks for the change!

saturated market, expensive toy that almost none has really seen before
first run a simple "cheap" fast gb with classic "safe" colors then you will see a ton of real life pics
after that you can run a fresh style gb like this, maybe with 3D mockups, with many options and sell a lot
Anyway if THIS is the time i'm IN
-
I'll take 1 of everything, might bump it up to 2 if this GB takes off
-
how the hell did you get sp to produce correctly sized mods?!?! i didnt think that was possible.

This may be a noob question but, what is a Vietnamese Lotus kit?

How many orders do you need before you know you are going to use the UV coat?
The VL kit contains 7 keys, 6 of it have the Lotus icon in various color combinations. You can see the details in the 1st reply ^^
The UV coat for some keys of the kits, I already have the price but they are a bit too high now... We should collect more orders before thinking of adding the coat or not.
Clear coat added to 2 keys in the Standard kit:
50 kits - $4.04 / kit
75 kits - $3.00 / kit
Clear coat added to 3 keys in the Upgrade kit 01:
50 kits - $6.06 / kit
75 kits - $4.50 / kit
Clear coat added to 1 key in the Numpad kit:
25 kits - $3.60 / kit
50 kits - $2.02 / kit

I was over optimistic that people've already seen a lot of SPH Round 4 keys ~.~
Here's a photo from a friend of mine - megaxpop - of the SPH Round 4 for anyone that has not seen it. Imagine of a set like the SPH Round 4 with lots of upgrades, especially the correct size modifiers, matching profiles in same row, the colors and the novelty keys ^.^

Very cool set. I wish I had funds free.
Since the keys are all the same profile, any thoughts about adding scoops to allow dvorak/colemak layouts?
-
I really hope we hit at least 50 of each, they are MUCH more affordable at that price point. I am biting the bullet and getting 2 of each so that we can hopefully pull this off. Everyone BUY BUY BUY!!! ;D ;D ;D
-
In for one (standard + upgrade1).
Not excited at all about the colors, but I've always wanted to try SA profile, and maybe it will look good on the right color of board (bright blue?) ;).
Let's hope we hit the 50 mark!

I'm trying not to add things in the middle of the GB, so maybe in the end if so many people want it, I will ask for a quote for a pack of those keys for people who need it. If anyone does not order because of any reason, do not hesitate to say, I'll see what I could do ^__^
@Everyone: Order list and quantity updated in the 1st post & 2nd reply. We are only need 06 more of Upgrade kit 01 and 01 more of VL kit to reach the next price tier!!! Price break for everyone! Go go go soldiers!

In for a standard kit, ISO set, and ten-key set.
Still hoping we get enough interest to get 1x blanks in matching colors...
-
This set is going to kick all kinds of ass.
BTW, there are 2 different green color chips. Which color is being used where? Is the darker green being used for the legends? Thx

In the next days I will ask for quotes of the blank keys, a small kit of doubleshot CAPS LOCK & SCROLL LOCK and NUM LOCK. Then people can add it separately.

The darker green is the ABS plastic color code VV. It's roughly matches the color of legends on the CAPS and SCRLK and NUM keys.
The green in the center of the photo is the green of the modifiers part of the keyset, code VF.
-
For the Upgrade kit 01 you can already buy at lower tier:
46.90 × 50 ÷ 46 = 50.98 < 64.05 :) (and you get 4 spare sets you can resell or use to cover production errors)
the same is true for other kits. Of course it would be better to have more orders, but consider that before placing your order!
-
Sorry Jil, I will have to cancel my order.
Thanks for making an awesome set! Hope to find an extra one later.
-
The more I look at this set the more I wanna buy it :D
Im interested in the standarf kit + upgrade kit 1 + upgrade kit 2

I'll place my order once shipping prices are announced. Then we can figure out the cheapest shipping option within EU and who would be the ideal proxy.
Are there any other guys from EU that would join us?

I would like to see how SP can make small windowed Caps Lock/Scroll Lock/Num Lock keys. Never seen any example of SP's work concerning small clear windows for leds to shine through.
This Group Buy is getting better and better as time goes by. Please let us know if you've changed anything significantly during the order process hence we need to re-order again to include any EXTRA's that you might provide.
-
If anyone wants to cancel the order, please PM me instead ^________^
@ApocalypseMaow: It's fine. I hope you can find one, or join us later if things gonna better with you.
@Matt3o: Thank you. Your calculation does make sense. I agree that we should think about it. But as you can see, people can change their minds. Before receiving the money from everyone, I'm not sure how many kits will be ordered.
It's a step just before placing the order, not for now IMHO. We must collect more orders, and reach the next price tiers by new orders. Step by step is the most stable way to go I think.
@LechnerDE: I'm still waiting for the answer of a guy. The best is there will be a guy in the US takes care of distributing for people of this GB.
In the worst-case scenario that I can't find anyone willing to do so, I will have the shipment from SP shipped directly to me, then I will take care of everything then.
I think the shipping fee, from the US or from VN, would be around $15 - $25 for one or two full kits, to you. The shipping fee of VN post is not too bad, just we don't have the flat rate box so it should be many work to do.
I want to have the shipping information listed after this weekend if at all possible.
@Elrick: Sure thing. Not only do I post the update info here, but I also send an email to everyone's email address. So you will be noticed if there's any change with this GB ^_^
Has anyone here gotten the Ducky camou board yet? I'd like to have more pics of it ^o^

Thanks a lot for your kind offer, mashby! I feel a sense of relief here ^_____^
I know people are busy, and the shipping work is a real problem to everybody.
I will contact you and let you know in the next couple of days bro!

Possible to get a 76-key Ergodox blanks set?
I would like the SA profile for the Ergodox.

Finally we break the tier of 50 set, Standard kit and Upgrade kit 01 :) !!
-
I did not read the entire thread but will there be geekhack keys??
And if so can they be purchased separately?
-
No GH key in the set, SpAmRay. You can read the 1st post & 1st reply to see what's included in the kits ^_^
@everyone: How do you think about the following kits?
#1: contains 3 keys: CAPS LOCK, SCROLL LOCK, NUM LOCK - doubleshot, TBN on VF
#2: contains 5 keys: E, H, N, T, U - deep-dish, doubleshot, TBN on GAW for other layout users
And not a kit, but separately 1x BLANK key in VF and GAW. Should we have BLANK 1.25x, 1.5x, 1.75x and 6x keys (6x in SS family), 6.2x and 7x also? I need your comment here!

#2: contains 5 keys: E, H, N, T, U - deep-dish, doubleshot, TBN on GAW for other layout users
#3: contains BLANK 1.25x, 1.5x, 1.75x (the set for those who want the Commando colors/profile without the Commando logos)
#4: contains 5 keys BLANK 1x, GAW
#5: contains 5 keys BLANK 1x, VF
That way people can order as many 5-key sets of blanks as they like, without the headache of counting x number of single keys per order.
-
Thanks for the input, Greystoke...
And of course, do not forget the row profile. Just all ROW3 keys or?
I have a headache already >"<
-
How long are we waiting for orders? I hope we hit top tiers :D
-
as a GB organizer myself I wouldn't suggest to offer spare blanks. They are really a pain to sort and they would delay shipping.
the sets as they are now look fantastic I wouldn't change them much (if any).
-
How about a pre-packed kit of blank keys?
-
Ergodox kit, please!
-
What's included in that "Ergodox kit" bro? And may you make a guess how many ergodox user will join?
People who interested in this set of blank keys please show up and let us know your opinion. This might be your only chance to have the blank keys added into this GB. If we do it, make sure to to it so simple and quick, easy to sort everything so the distributor will not have much problem with it.
The current kits are highest priority, so if there is only a small need of the blank keys, or adding the blank keys will slows everything down, I'm afraid I can't please you all and have to drop the blank kit :(
-
60 1u keys.
12 1.5u keys.
4 2u keys
All blank.
I can't comment on estimates, as to how many users of Ergodox would take part.
-
How about a pre-packed kit of blank keys?
you could pack them, but honestly I don't think you'll get more than 10 orders considering that we just hit 50 for the core set. Might be wrong...

Yeh, that's precisely what I'm worried about :(

you wouldn't need 60 1u blanks unless you were going for all blank and that would just jack up the cost and given one of the attractive things about this group buy is the base kit. I think it would be nice to have all blanks but trying to get orders would be hard with high $$
your also forgetting that its not all the same profile that would have to be ordered, this isnt DSA, thankfully there is just 2 profiles that would be needed for ergodox
My SA "ErgoDox add on" of blanks would consist of
4x2u row 2 GAW
4x1u row 2 GAW
16x1u row 3 VF
10x1.5u row 3 VF
2x1.5u row 2 GAW (is that even possible?)
I would def join up for this if you added ErgoDox kit because SA sounds appealing for heavy typing and would look great on my aluminium ErgoDox, But i doubt you could get any more than 10 ErgoDox kits sold though. I think its cheaper to buy them by # of individual blanks unsorted but that would mean having to sort all blanks like Ron had to do for Retro DSA.
ill probably sign up even if you don't offer a ergodox add on.
-
Yes... 2 weeks passed already, and we are over 60 standard kits now. Not bad, I can say that.
I'd like to wait untill we reach 80 kits, then I will start invoicing people.
One good news, a cool guy accepted to be our distributor in the US. It's decided. I'm waiting for his estimated shipping fees, then I will let you guys know everything about shipping.
@Glod: Yes an add-on kit for the ErgoDox users is good. Is that everything you NEED for the ErgoDox kit already? Are you sure about the color yet?
I would appreciate it if you could get some feedbacks of other ErgoDox users for this option of the 23 Commando - ErgoDox add-on kit. If there are several people happy with this, I will get a quote for it.
And, thank you for the reply.
-
I've taken the plunge, and ordered two ErgoDox PCBs, so I'd definitely be interested in a set of these. Still interested in blanks, though, in addition to the ErgoDox set. Hope those make it to production!
-
Glod's recommendation makes more sense.
-
Nice set, really like that the uniform row 3 for the main area means you can change layouts. The only key missing to do Colemak though is the 1.75 row 3 back space to replace the left caps lock.
-
I'd go for the ErgoDox add on as well as described. I am not a fan of blanks but understand. I simply like doubleshots. Plus it's like taking the lettering off the tires to me. I mean I don't see them unless I look at them and during normal use they are not seen by me but when I go out of my way to look at it I want it to look nice. If it was just function we wouldn't need a color choice. :D

i mean yeah i would like to get more feedback from ErgoDox guys about what i suggested, its too bad im not good at mock ups because i bet a mock up of it would sell it. The mock up may show my color choices are bad but im 99% sure i have the units correct.

I just want you to make sure about the Row profile of the 16* 1x Row 3 in VF (green). You don't want those keys have higher angle for better typing experience, do you? Just my thought.

I'm agreeing with the layout from Glod although the center 4 1u keys would be better as row1 and the next ones down that pair would be best as row2 and the bottom 2 1u caps as row 3.
That also is just about the way my Kinesis boards are. This set as described should work on those too. I'd get a couple sets just for that. :)

thumb cluster is the best it can be. the bottom blank 10x 1u keys could be row 4 you have a point that being higher would be better and look better.
mock up looks amazing,
-
GLWS. I wish I could just buy the enter key. I don't care much for the color otherwise. I'm not much into camo or military themes.
-
This is that I was suggesting:
[attach=1]
Row 2 and 4 are identical as a blank right?
-
I see what you want, madderoftime. And yes, for blank keys, row2 and row4 are identical.
Because I don't have an ErgoDox, so I have no comment which one is the better for actual usage. Now it depends on you guys, choose one kit to go then I will get a quote for it early next week.
Only one thing, I think Glod's option will be easier for producing & sorting, should be a little bit cheaper also.
The ErgoDox kit is an add-on kit I provide to attract more people to get the standard kit. The standard kit is always my highest priority, and I don't want the distributing guy have much problem of sorting the stuffs, so I would like to have the ErgoDox add-on kit ordered as pre-sorted and packed kit. In case we have only few kits ordered, I might think of ordering those as separately blank keys for cheaper, but I have to get the agreement from the distributing guy before I think about it.

I'm ok with how I had suggested it being that I intended to use on 2 different Ergo boards. If the cost is too high though it would be better to just go with the other options entirely. The real pull here is the base kit and if you can't use the legends it is sort of a mute point to go with it.
-
69 Standard kits - 99 VL kits ordered!
Very close to the next price tiers, go go go guys!
-
Any chance of having an extra (esc or icon) key in row 2 in the update kits?
Reason being I am going to build a GH60 and I need an esc/icon key to replace the tilda/backslash key, but there are such keys in row 2's profile.
-
I was curious why 10 keys in the gamer set is $31 @ 25 kits and 22 keys in the 1.2 upgrade kit is only $1.40 more AND it includes larger than 1x keys which are normally more expensive? Ten 1x keys should always be cheaper than nineteen 1x keys, one 1.25x key, one 1.5x key, and one iso enter key with printing on the front (front printing costs additional money).
The gamer set seems like it should be closer in price to the VL kit if not cheaper since it uses only two colors instead of 12-14. You may want to get new quotes from Signature Plastics based off of the kit images.

News and Updates:
Deadline
12-Aug-2013
Shipping
Shipping will be invoiced SEPARATELY and will come from mashby (http://geekhack.org/index.php?action=profile;u=23681) after your order has been sorted, packaged and ready for shipping.
We will be using USPS Priority Mail, which provides the following advantages:
- Boxed packaging to protect your order
- Tracking number for ensuring delivery
- $50 insurance for your order
*For any order larger than a small flat-rate box, we plan on using other boxes and ship by weight. Since key caps are light, this can substantially reduce the cost of shipping.
Remember, you won't be charged for shipping fee until your order has been packaged.
Estimated Shipping Costs
The pricing table below is the MAXIMUM shipping charge, could be cheaper at the end, depends on your actual order
| Box Size | U.S. | Can. | Inter. |
| Small Priority Mail Box | $6 | $20 | $24 |
| Medium Priority Mail Box | $13 | $40 | $60 |
| Large Priority Mail Box | $17 | $53 | $78 |
How Many Keys Fit In A Box?
One set should fit in a Small Priorty Mail box. However, if you order more than one set, then you will more than likely need a Medium box. We expect that large orders will be reserved for vendors orders, like Techkeys, etc.
Additional Fees
Each invoice will include PayPal fees and a $3 handling fee at maximum.
What About Proxies?
We're looking into it, but it depends on the number of orders coming from. Additional PayPal fees and complexity may negate the benefits of having a proxy. We're still examining options though and should we choose to exercise that option, then you'll simply pay less in shipping.
New add-on kit
ErgoDox add-on kit (38 keys)
25 kits - $23.50
50 kits - $20.00

@Lumune: Sorry, I'm afraid I can not add anything more than that. Before adding the ErgoDox kit, I was planning to add some separately kits for the deep-dish keys and doubleshot Lock keys. But there will be a mess if I add those very small kits so may be next time I will provide it at the first place.
@danielucf: The Gamer kit also has 4 front pad prints keys and those keys are expensive at the low quantity already. And the gamer kit has the new legends fee and art work fee baked in (not the Upgrade kit 02 because it contains many keys already). I think it will be much cheaper without the front padprints & with regular legends.
@pasph, Elrick, TheSoulhunter: To be honest, I don't have the absolute answer for you guys yet. I need mashby's help here for measuring to see how many keys shoud fit perfectly and safety inside one Small Box, because he's the guy handle it directly. But I can let you guy know these:
- After the GB ends, I will send mashby everyone's order info. He will have an idea how large your order is (how many keys etc.). Then he can estimate your shipping fee, based on the shipping info. document I sent him and his measurements with the actual box on his hand.
- The actual amount of shipping fee can be calculated only after mashby got the keys, sort it and pack it. But, because our GB is not much popular (sad), mashby's willing to use different box (not the flat-rate ones) and ship by weight for any order larger than a Small Box, so the price would be as low as possible for large order. You still have tracking number of course.
So please keep in mind this:
The minimum amount will be the small flat-rate box + handling fee + paypal fee.
The maximum amount will be the other flat-rate boxes + handling fee + paypal fee.
The actual shipping fee of the large order would be cheaper than the maximum amount. As low as possible, but still safe.
If anyone like TheSoulhunter wants to split the order into two boxes, let's decide it after you got the shipping fee calculated by mashby.
And if anyone prefer the order have shipped by flat-rate box to different box, no problem. I believe mashby has prepared very well for the distributing process.
I will ask mashby to see if you guy's order fit the Small Box or not. If you want to know, just post here. I'll be back to you later.

Not particularly worried about the cost between the Medium and Large Sizes, it's not that much more.
I would like just ONE box with all my key-caps because if I choose having two or more separate boxes with my luck, I'll lose one or both during transit. I'd rather only have one box to worry about.
Thanks for getting Mashby involved, although he may regret it in time ;) .
-
Sorry, but I'm not going to ship two small boxes. If your order doesn't fit in the small box, then you'll be getting a medium box. The medium box is 6" x 7" x 7" and can be found here (https://store.usps.com/store/browse/uspsProductDetailMultiSkuDropDown.jsp?categoryNavIds=catGetMailingShippingSupplies%3asubcatMSS_B%3asubcatMSS_B_Free&categoryNav=false&navAction=push&navCount=4&productId=P_O_BOX4&categoryId=subcatMSS_B_Free). Unless you are placing a vendor sized order, I doubt that you'll need a Large Box (https://store.usps.com/store/browse/uspsProductDetailMultiSkuDropDown.jsp?categoryNav=false&navAction=jump&navCount=6&productId=P_O_BOX7&categoryId=subcatMSS_B_Free).
As far as how many key caps fit in a box, it's really hard to say at this point because I don't know of any other SA sets that have been shipped in this manner. I found a thread where Ragnarock estimated about 300 1x1 key caps could fit into a small box, or approximately 3 TKL sets. I discussed this with tjcaustin and samwisekoi and both felt that was on the high side. Given the size and thickness difference of SA over DSA, I've dropped the estimate to 200 keys, or 1 full set. However, we won't know for sure until I have the key caps in hand.
A key thing to remember is that all of the shipping information is an estimate and we've erred on the high side because we don't want any surprises when your order is ready to ship. We are shipping by weight for anything larger than a small box because it will be much less expensive. Remember, key caps are light. It means more work on the shipping and handling end, but substantial cost savings so it's worth it. The only downside to shipping by weight is that it's hard to estimate because we don't have your order in hand so that we can weigh it.
Hope that helps and keep the questions coming. :)
-
If you will ship by weight we, now, can't know how much it will be but can assume less than $60 for a medium box, right?
-
In my opinion you really need to split the legends fees into all the kits they are included in. If you don't then I won't be ordering the gamer kit.
Look at it this way, why should a person buying the 22 key kit without the gamer kit get a free ride and all of he benefit of new legends without paying for the new legends at all.
-

That is correct.
I wish I could be more specific, but all I have to go on is anecdotal examples. The most expensive DSA Retro International order was 7bit's and it was less than $50. I don't know how large his order was, but it was the biggest and the most expensive to ship and it's less than the price quoted for a medium International box. ;D
The only way to give hard numbers was to use the flat-rate pricing, so that's what the estimates are using.

SA are huge keys, if we can fit 200 DSA I believe we can hardly fit 120 SA in a small box. I hope to be proven wrong.

Yikes. Does anyone have a set that we could test? I'm going to ask those that got the SP Crap Bags if they can test.

I've got a set at home, probably 60+. And lots of USPS Small boxes. If no one else volunteers, I can pull them off their keyboard and stuff them in the box, see how many fit.

DSA vs SA... FIGHT!

SA should be the short caps. Then DSA would be like Doubled SA :) Or I suppose you can think of ithem as the Dwarf SA, in the current naming convention :D
-
Here is a small box full with 99 SA keys:
(http://i.imgur.com/AAqGdTD.jpg) (http://i.imgur.com/EgMarHL.jpg)
I would say it is around 75% full. Also there were a decent number of 1.5x size keys and only one or two 2x size, everything else is 1x size so not a very good representation of a real set.

So a Small box might fit about 65-75 of the larger caps? Pretty sure I have about that many on the board at home, I'll post pics once I can test my guesstimate.
-
Is there a photo of SA caps on a Filco that anyone's aware of? I'd like to see how tall they sit along the front and back of the keyboard.
-
Thanks for the photos Daniel, that is a huge help. SpAmRaY is doing a test for me as well, both with and without bubble wrap and then Greystoke is going doing his test, so we should have a good sampling between all three.
Based on Daniel's photos, I think Set 1 will fit in a small box, the question is wether or not any other sets will fit in there as well.
-
Yup, would be nice to have a sense of how much space 1 standard kit + 1 upgrade kit (probably many will get that) + 1 VL kit will take.
-
zip 'em!
-
How much would shipping be to Germany for Set 1 + Set 1.1 ( + maybe ergo dox set) ?
Would this all fit in a small bubble?
-
Okay, so I used the keys from an old Wang terminal board. If I counted right, the alphanumeric set totals 65 keys.
[attachimg=1]
All these keys barely filled a USPS Small box halfway.
[attachimg=2]
I added all the modifiers, plus the top row relegendables (which are really more like DCS profile...) just as a test.
[attachimg=3][attachimg=4]
Still plenty of room.
One note; these keycaps have a stem that protrudes from the keycap, so they probably take up even more room than a MX-compatible cap would.
-

We are only shipping in priority mail boxes and we won't know exact costs until after the keycaps arrive, but at most you'd be looking at $60. No guarantee, but I would suspect that it'll be closer to $40.
Details are posted in the OP.
-

Ragnarock said 300 1x1 DSA would fit, we lowered it to 200 originally, but now it's looking more like 150, or there about.
-
Just some observations...
All single SA profile keys only, no modifiers or space bars, just tossed in a small flat rate USPS box.
I got 215 in their but it was really full and no packaging.
If you were to lay them out in columns and rows roughly 70 key caps is the size of the box with a little room left.
I'll try with some baggies and bubble wrap, probably tomorrow.

Thank you SpAmRaY! So it's somewhere between 150 and 200 keys depending on modifiers and packaging. If I add up the Standard Kit and two upgrade kits, we're at 154 keys.
My recommendation is that if you're concerned about what will fit, be sure to add up the key count from your order. If it's over 200 you will more than likely need a medium box.
-
I'm not sure. My order for DSA retro had 203 keys which includes 2 sets of TKL mods, 1 alpha set, 3 space bars, and some blank keys and it didn't fit a USPS small flat rate box.
These SA are almost double it size, so..

Thanks Elton. All of this is speculation, but getting input like this helps provide at least some insight into what we can expect. Based on everything we've seen thus far, I think it'd be best to lower the key cap count to 150 for the small box. Even that might be pushing it.
-
Looking at Kit 1 and 1.1, there are 4 space bars altogether. That equals to 30 1x keys, so I'd watch out for that as well.
-
Thanks!
-
Put in baggies with some bubble wrap I only got about 120 single caps with a little room left

Thank you everyone for the test with Small box and SA keys!!
We need some more orders to officially get to the next price break...
AND solem2308 please provide me the correct information!

Just wondering, why use small flat rate box for overseas shipping?
More often than not, it is much cheaper to ship with a custom box. The raindrop GB was proof of that, a bigger box with a $17 shipping worldwide. I am not sure about cost for a box, but I would bet that adding the cost of the box ends up having a lower total cost, and a bigger box.
You can't track them after they have left the US. Not at least for my country anyway.
-
I am really tempted to buy Set 1 + Set 1.1 + Set 1.2 but with those huge shipping prices and possibly 19% import tax I'll end up with ~200$ for it. This would be by far the most expensive set I ever ordered.
Was the Europe Proxy idea discarded?

If it was cheaper if we combined our orders and shared shipping I would totally do it.
Do Italian Customs believe that a bag of plastic only costs 25$ or do they want to see the real invoice?
-
I just checked, currently we have 6 orders from Romania, Sweden, Italy and Germany. The total quantity is 6_6_5_2_3_4, quite large order.
-
Order placed. It should be 75 of the main set, and one closer for the first add on. I hope the main items can all reach 75+.

That is exactly what we're doing.
We are using non-flat-rate boxes and shipping by weight for anything that doesn't fit in the small flat-rate box. Based on the tests performed thus far, it would appear that most orders will be in a medium box. Unfortunately, since the shipping will be based on weight, I can't provide exact pricing for how much it will cost to ship.
All I can do is refer to past GBs to provide a ballpark. As I stated earlier (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=45655.msg982704#msg982704) "The most expensive DSA Retro International order was 7bit's and it was less than $50. " In other words, a large box shipped from the US to Germany cost less than $50. That's a great deal cheaper than the flat-rate pricing listed in the OP ($78).

The proxy idea is still on the table, but as Matt3o stated, we may not have enough ordered to make it worthwhile. We'll make the final decision during the shipping phase when we can calculate the exact weight.
Thank You For Your Patience
I know this is very frustrating for everyone outside of CONUS to have to take the leap of faith that we'll do our best to get you the least expensive shipping costs available to us, but there are just too many unknowns at this point.
Since the sets aren't produced, we can weigh them, or test the packaging like we could if we were doing the standard DSA sets. Thanks to the SP Crap Bags, we've been able to make some rough estimates, but it's never going to be the exact. All I can do is point to the flat-rate pricing as a maximum and indicate that it will be less expensive than that.
-

they 99% take the value declared (if the description is made right). Sometimes they inspect the packages, but we have just pieces of plastic inside, so it shouldn't be a problem.

Had no idea how you guys suffer with such draconian import tax charges. Years ago, before the "Great Howard" took office we too where rogered for taxes if any goods were over $100AUD.
But the "Great Howard" scrapped that bullsh*t tax levy and updated it to over $1000AUD before you got bent-over and reamed heavily by Customs.
Again we are going to get a change of Government in September and it looks like this new "Moron-Abbott" wants to scrap the Howard initiative and force us all to pay tax on imports again around the $100AUD mark.
Christ I hate democracy now it just plain sucks for so-called freedom and your wallet.

I understand what you mean, really don't like what Tony is doing at the moment, it totally destroys the shipping even more. (at least that's my concern.)

Import taxes are not the worst thing, here taxes are around 55% of the GDP (for reference in Australia is around 26%)...

Yes that is what you are doing for orders that don't fit into a flat rate box, that's what I read.
What about orders that do fit into flat rate box?
Any considerations being made to get a custom box anyway? For keycaps, using flat rate boxes for any amount of keycaps often ends up making shipping more expensive.
I do agree that it is more work to use a custom box, but if it saves money, I don't think anyone would mind paying the organizer(s) for the trouble.

The only flat-rate box that we're using the small flat-rate box (https://store.usps.com/store/browse/uspsProductDetailMultiSkuDropDown.jsp?productId=P_SMALL_FRB&categoryId=subcatMSS_FlatRate) because of the price point that it offers. Using a custom box for something that size doesn't provide any cost savings. Based on the tests thus far, only 100 - 150 keys are going to fit in that sized box. Anything larger than that gets a custom box and will shipped by weight.
-
6 days to go and we will make it! We also need more orders!
-
I am definitely interested, but the price and shipping :O. I`d be getting kit 1 and 1.1, but that might not likely fit in the small flat rate box.

A small flat-rate box to Canada is $20, but I wanted to test and see what the pricing would be to ship to you at various weights, so I did the following:
1. I went to https://www.usps.com (https://www.usps.com)
2. Chose to ship to Canada
3. Select a "package" at the bottom and came up with the following pricing
2lb = $28.76
5lb = $35.39
Unfortunately, I just don't know how much your package will actually weigh, so it's not exact, but the flat-rate price for a medium box is $40 and I don't think your package will weigh 5lb.
Hope that helps!

Do you need to ship via Priority to Canada? First Class International should be cheaper, and when purchased online, it comes with delivery confirmation / tracking as well.

any reason this GB couldn't be extended so that better tiers can be reached? just curious

It's sort of a niche offering. It's an unusually strong theme, compared with "oooh, cool colours", and the profile is in and of itself unusual.

With some of the recent buys with a concrete price and adding extras if cheap tiers are met, I think I'd prefer the cheaper prices than wondering what I'm going to get. Most SP buys are going to be smooth as far as the production and shipping is concerned, people are just becoming impatient and want it ASAP. I think since this is the first SA set besides what was in R4 people are waiting to see how it looks and hoping to snipe off of classifieds when they turn out really nice. I still don't agree on one kit paying for the new legends while another kit is ridiculously cheap in comparison, and maybe that is why some people are holding off.
Also this has only been open about a month, I'm not sure how many more people will sign up. Although with a lot of the recent sales some people might simply be strapped for cash and unable to participate :-X
-
I like the look of this set and I'm one of those who are really close to ordering, but yeah - it's just a little pricey for me given that I don't completely love the colour scheme (and I'm a little broke!) :(
Shame though, I am wanting something spherical.
-
For me, it's "I've spent too much on keyboard stuff lately" combined with "SA sounds appealing, but I don't like the colour choices."
Also, to cover a typical 104 board is two kits, costing about $100 plus shipping, assuming we hit the next tier. To do it exactly how I'd want, with solid colour function keys, I'd need to go for three kits, running the tally up to over $150.
I'm hoping that this GB serves as a learning experience for us and Signature Plastics, which resolves all the issues of SA caps fit and legends) for the future.

$100 for a 104 keys layout set is not a bad price, if you compare it with other regular DCS key GBs at the same price tiers, and SA keys are cooler!
About the solid color function keys, the certain way to get those is that you order the kit.
However, you could note those in the order form then I might find a way to help you. Or, you could find someone willing to part with those later.

Generally that is bad if you cancel once invoices are out and you pay. So you should decide before the payments close here.
-
if the ergodox doesnt reach 25, it will be dropped if that is my understanding is correct
which is unfortunate because really would have liked an SA ergodox kit and i doubt there will be a rush of 20 orders in the next 4 days
-
@Slavfot: Please just put your order in!
@ErgoDox people: I just confirmed with mashby about the ErgoDox add-on kit's case.
If we can not reach the MOQ of 25 kits and end up with only few kits ordered, I will ask for quotes of the separately blank keys (maybe I should ask for it already). mashby is nice to agree to sort those blank keys and pack them for us (thank you ^^)
I can not guarantee about the price yet, but I think it's good to let you know that there's still a chance for the ErgoDox kit.

Placed my order!
This will be my first SA set. I hope I can get used to the profile for actual typing.
Would be a shame if it only looked pretty and never gets used ;)

@ Everyone:
I'm collecting the money now. There will be a Paypal invoice sent to your Paypal address. I will sent invoices in batches of 20-30, so if you have not received the invoice yet, please do not worry. Your Paypal account need to be a verified one.
The invoice this time is just for the keycaps. There will be another invoice for shipping fee later coming from mashby.
Everyone will have 2 days to pay after receiving the invoice. If you can not pay in time, please let me know immediately (through email, PM...) I will cancel your current invoice and resend another one later.
People ordered the ErgoDox kit will receive the invoice after I got the quotes for separate blank keys from SP.
*I also sent everyone an email about this. So if you didn't received any email from me about this Groupbuy, please PM me and give me your correct Paypal email address!
-
@feng: thank you for your big order. It helped us much!
@Greystoke: your board will be so cool! Can't wait to see!
@Rendom & anyone interested: You still can join us! Fill the order form and be ready to pay the invoice as quickly as possible!

I got an email reminder. Good thing, too. I almost forgot about this GB.

Are the pad printed keys still going to get that extra UV treatment so they last longer?
Also, if I want to add an extra set, can I just full out a new google form since it looks like orders are still being taken?
-

We don't have blank set. There would be only the ErgoDox kit with blank keys.

There is no UV coating this time.
If you want extra set you can fill another form. I can combine your orders for shipping.

Any update on the ergodox kit?
Also is there anyone willing to part out his iso enter?

I will post any update if I have it ^^

About 60% of the amount had been collected. Everyone should has received the invoice and please pay as soon as possible so we can have this GB moved to the next phase.
And I still WELCOME NEW ORDER to take the places of those who canceled. I don't want the price got affected because anyone got problem after receiving the invoice!

Just paid my invoice,
I didn't receive any notification from Paypal that I was invoiced, just randomly was checking my account when I saw it. would have missed it otherwise :eek:
For people trying to use this with non-QWERTY layouts, how would the homing keys with bumper/deep sphere work out?

Mostly because not everyone has a Poker, or a Poker 2. ;D
As an alternative, I have tried to get Shadovved to create metallic stickers, but he hasn't showed much interest, plus they are rather small. Below is a photo of the stickers that came with the Duck Poker case as an example:

Hey Jil,
I added Upgrade Kit 02.
I filled out the Google form.
I want this to be added to my existing order.
Can this be done?
-
Yes it's easy, no problem. I will send you an invoice soon.
-
I just noticed something.
In Upgrade Kit 02, don't the escape keys needs to be in row profile 2?
If the kit needs to be similar to a hhkb layout, I would think it can not be in row profile 1.
-
No, not every key is for HHKB layout.
-
No, not every key is for HHKB layout.
Oh, ok.
-
It was my bad not including one Esc key in Row 2 for mini layout at the first place. I'm sorry.
/ If I add one Esc in Row 2 to the Upgrade kit 02 now it will affect the price... so how about this: I take one Up arrow key off the Upgrade kit 02, then add one Esc key in Row2 in??
-
/ If I add one Esc in Row 2 to the Upgrade kit 02 now it will affect the price... so how about this: I take one Up arrow key off the Upgrade kit 02, then add one Esc key in Row2 in??
I didn't order kit 02, but I don't think it's a good idea. If you remove 1 arrow key you basically make the 3 other arrow keys useless, because they would never be used seperately.
People ordered what you showed them in the mockups. You shouldn't change things after the GB was closed or others might get upset who don't need that ESC key.
Maybe you should make a little poll for the people who ordered this specific kit?
-
Oh actually the kit has 5 Arrow keys, and there are 2 Up arrow keys in different profiles so I just suggest to remove one then add the Esc in Row 2.
Of course if the idea gets support from people I will send a poll to those ordered it.
-
I've only seen one board where all 4 arrow keys were on the same row. Who is this change going to upset?

It has my support.
How is removing an arrow key going to affect the kit?
-
Oh actually the kit has 5 Arrow keys
Oh, I didn't see that:D
In this case I agree with Dan and think nobody would get upset about this change. But nevertheless this should be decided by the people who ordered this set.

Hopefully, if you do a poll, most people will respond.

May be someone wants the Realforce style for Arrow cluster...

Oh.
Is that what people were expecting?
Maybe we can do a poll.

c'mon you have 5 arrows in kit 2, I bet 90% of the people were not even aware of that. Remove one and add the ESC key :P
-

I didn't notice the 5 arrow keys! :)) I'd rather the ESC be added.
-
I sent people ordered the Upgrade kit 02 a link to vote for it. Please check your email ^^
-
don't think this really needed a vote. Anyway, voted!
-
But I've already received a No -_-
-
Voted.
-
Voted.
I also just paid for the 02 upgrade kit.
Let me know that you received payment.
-
why do you want to replace the "Up" arrow key in Row 3 profile and not that in Row 4 profile?
-
Because I think people are familiar with the same profile Arrow cluster of many keysets already.
-
Because I think people are familiar with the same profile Arrow cluster of many keysets already.
I have keyboards that use both arrow key profile sets, I'm fine with whichever option garners the most votes.
-
It makes more sense to replace the row 4 arrow key so your rows look uniform on mx mini and 1800 board layouts than for some rare realforce layout. Maybe just add the escape so that set has one more key, then everyone is happy because they get more keys and everyone is a little pissed paying a bit more :p
-
If anyone does not agree with the change please give me some notes in the form, I will consider everything carefully ~.~
-
Your intention is to change some keys in the kit right? You should let people who ordered upgrade kit 02 vote, instead of everyone. That would just screw up the polling result. I did not order upgrade kit 02, yet I receive the polling email.
Secondly, I did not even know that there was 2 UP keys. Maybe you can circle the one that you want to replace?
Thirdly, just my opinion, but why are you replacing the UP key in row 3? Shouldn't you replace the Row 4 UP instead?
Does anyone know what row is the SP PANIC key in?

There are two esc keys of the same profile in set upgrade kit 02. Can't we change one of them to the other profile if we don't change the arrow key as a worse case situation if people don't want to lose the arrow key?

I think he can filter

My guess is that it's easier to e-mail everyone and then filter only those that ordered the kit. Just a guess though.
-
Yes I will filter the vote later, but I want to hear from everyone so just say it.
-
People, look at the keycaps you have on your keyboard right now. All 4 arrow keys are the same profile. The Row 3 arrow key is for certain cherry boards that use the arrow keys in a cross pattern, with a key in the middle.
No one loses anything by dropping the Row 3 arrow, and some people who use mini layouts will gain a correct profile ESC key.

Wrong....
If you look at the row layout for these keys in the op the zxc row is row 3 so for a maching up arrow it would need to be row 3 too...
the row 4 up arrow is the unusual one... its for keyboards like these...
[attachimg=1]
and i say change the up arrow for the esc key...as long as its the row 4 one...
-
one more question/sugestion.... why dont we just offer this cap as a single? it would please everyone... if sp will go for it...
-
SP will sell you one doubleshot for something crazy like $50-100. You might as well order 25-50 for the same price though.
I still stand by just make everyone pay $2 more for the extra key in that set. I am part of that set and who cares I'll pay $2 more :p
-
Because NOW the original design has changed from what was offered before, will the OP offer refunds for those that do NOT like the new design being offered?
I remembered before when Jil ran the 1st Valentine Group Buy and everything was perfect no deviation from the original design, but he included extra's later on.
But now he is changing something to suit a minority here, and if that's how it's going to be then he needs to offer an escape card for those not interested in the latest design change. If he offered this late change earlier on, then I would of probably opted out of this.
Please clarify jil_jil32, what are you going to do next with this Group Buy?
-
I will let everyone knows what I'm going to do after I'm done collecting the votes from those ordered the kit. Then people will know that what I do suits minority or majority. That's why I let you vote for it instead of deciding it myself.
Because I'm the one who made the mistake not including the Esc in Row 2 at the first place, so I will try to fix it now. This 23 Commando set will be run one time only, so if you don't have the key you want now, it would be very hard for you to look for it later. So I care about the Esc key in row 2 as much as the Up arrow key in Row 3, if you think you might need it in the future, just give me the notes.
I myself don't want to make any change at all, just more work for me to do. Even one person does not like the result of the poll and don't want to pay for what he does not like, I undestand and I will refund you if you want.
Offering the Esc key in Row 2 separately surely is a solution. I've thought of it before I made the poll. But if all the people ordered the kit are happy with the replacement, we can have what we want with no extra money.
And you guys don't forget the "Anything else do you need?" in the order form. At the end I believe I can try to provide what extra keys you need. Of course SP may cause a little trouble.
-
the impact cost of 1u over the whole set would be so small. Can you ask SP? Maybe they would even add it for free.
-
I will ask for it. The problem is our order is not so big. I tried to ask for some keys before but the prices were not good (doubleshot lock keys, deepdish keys...)
Anyway, because some people promised to pay after the first Friday of next month, so the deadline of payment is September 9, I will cancel the unpaid invoices after that so we can go on.
Yes you guys should pay me quickly...

Hey, who said I'll bail if I don't get what I want? Regardless of my earlier typing, I will still pay and wait for whatever comes out of SP here.
I just got miffed when I read about the beautiful ESC key, but that's just ONE key that will go missing with the top arrow. As long as you don't go deforming any MORE keys I'm still happy with getting your current design of the SA profiles.
So please bring it on :thumb: .

Can I add another standard kit to my order please?

Okay, now that you have clarify that I get it.
All keys should be Row 4.
@jil,
While it was an oversight that you did not include the Row 2 Esc key, I think you shouldn't beat yourself over it.

Actually, as someone pointed out, the row profiles are different for this set than a standard DCS-profile set.
Thinking about the row profiles for SA makes my head hurt. I checked the wiki on Deskthority, and the images for the Round4 SPH set show most keys are Row 3 profile. Is this correct?
-
Of course JD, I will send you an invoice for the extra standard kit soon :)
-
Don't change anything, just add the extra escape and if people don't want to pay the extra $2 then I will cover them. Worst case scenario that is like $100, but I think most on this kit will not have problem with $2 more and then nothing needs to be removed.

Will make some changes to my order (adding kits) but not before the weekend (need to look some stuff up first) so hope the ordering doesn't close until then.
I also support adding the key and paying the extra $2. It's only a bonus and a small cost to pay for making this set more awesome.

Yes, I believe I did send PMs / emails / Paypal reminders to those who hasn't paid several times. Some answered, some didn't. Takaki is one of them who didn't tell me anything. I will wait untill the deadline comes then cancel every unpaid invoice. And those who doesn't bother to reply me please join GBs run by others from now on, I'm afraid I can't serve them anymore.

Jil_jil32, all they will do is rejoin Geekhack under another 'name' and probably do the same thing again in the future. Remember this is the internet, home for scumbags and liars - that can change their identity as easy as changing their socks in the morning.
Sad but true >:( .

I think a 10% no-show rate for GBs is pretty standard, from what I've heard :(

Order! waiting for your request

now i see why feng requires payment upfront.....
-
now i see why feng requires payment upfront.....
Different kind of group buy, this uses tiers so commitment has to be measured before final quote and invoice.
-
Payment upfront > Partial Refund?
-
Payment upfront > Partial Refund?
That might be a solution, but some people wait until a certain price tier is reached.
If you do it this way, these people might not participate, because they'd have to gamble and hope a certain price is met.
I guess there is no perfect solution ;)
-
the perfect solution is to set a tier based on the IC and set that fixed price point. You pay upfront, if you don't reach the tier you close the GB and send money back. If you reach a higher tier you make a partial refund. pretty easy actually.

NEWS & UPDATES
I have some tweaks to the final kits. Don't worry please, I just want to make it better.
1/ Firstly, about the Standard kit
(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-bdnFDXgvFu0/Uisoa152h3I/AAAAAAAAExk/vGd3AErD_lE/w1358-h430-no/1_standard_kit.png)
- You must notice the new legends PG UP and PG DN will be used for this set instead of PAGE UP & PAGE DOWN.
- The SHIFT legends will be re-cut for proper looking purpose (the current ones are not good enough)
2/ Secondly, about the Upgrade kit 01
(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/--m5KnK0ftF0/Uiip9zbFsvI/AAAAAAAAEwo/oF0yLRlMJAY/w914-h720-no/2_upgrade_kit01.png)
- Some minor details of the artworks of symbol keys (23 symbol, commando skull symbol) had been removed so the legends now are doable. I can say every new symbol key is good to go now, the Eagle return key is a bit hard though.
3/ Thirdly, about the Upgrade kit 02
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-yLdB9yF-Cj4/UisobO3QWkI/AAAAAAAAExo/aeQ1918vGys/w554-h480-no/3_upgrade_kit02.png)
- I've decided to add the ESC key in ROW2 into the kit thanks to the poll results and the supports of many generous guys here.
=> I need only $75 more so any previous generous guy who can give me a hand please say it :thumb:

=> I need only $75 more so any previous generous guy who can give me a hand please say it :thumb:
Well that doesn't sound bad in regards to the extra $75 for the esc key.
Depends how you want to split it. I'll pay the $75, but I hope some of the previous people who offered to help can help.
It would be great to get at least 2 more people so we can split it as 3 x $25=$75.
If about the same people offer to help as before, it will cut the cost down between us.
-
like I said, if you need help covering expenses, just let me know.

You can put me down for an extra $25, if we're that close.
-
I think 2 more then each of you can help me with $10 I will cover the rest how's that :D
-
do you send an invoice? or do we send you the money directly?
-

Sounds good.
Invoice? Or just send to you.
Should we wait for 2 more people to offer help first?
Hopefully, they see this post.
-
Probably way too late for this, but you know what would be great for this set? "[" and "]" keys in row 2, and "+" and "-" keys in row 3. If you had that then you could make a Dvorak layout board with this perfectly. All the letters are already the same profile but those four keys also get switched for Dvorak.
There are enough spare keys with the right profile to do it anyway, if you don't mind the legends being a little wrong, which is what I plan to do. But still.
-
Yes I think 2 more people then I will send you guys an invoice then. It helps much thank you!
@randrews: yes I welcome your input, I will note that down now! For the next GB!

He's just trying to spam every thread so he can get his 60 posts and sell whatever it is he came here to sell.
Don't feed the troll. Away with you, spammer.

Yeah, I want to reach my 60 posts and at the same time show some support on the groupbuy. Does "interested" means anything not good to you? You can share it with me my friend

As long as I consider, "interested" means I think the stuff is good but it is not an offer my friend. Sorry if you guys take it in another way. I will try another method in future. But "faith in people" is really too big deal for this kind of stuff

Thanks to the following guys:

We appreciate your generous help!
One more day for payment, then the GB is ready to go to the production stage!

Not quite sure how your a spammer with 0.8 posts per day, but Jdcarpe presumably knows something I don't, he's having a go at you because there is no need for you to say you are interested. You like it? Join in, there is figuratively no time [barely any] left to place an order. Your interest would be useful in an Interest Check. No need for it here.

Yeah, what I want to say is this groupbuy is good! I dunt want cause any one any trouble but I'm not a SPAMMER in deed! I do reply a few simple words such as "interested" but do not aim to cause you guys any trouble. I will use another method to reach my posts if that is such a big deal

Yep, just paid. Now lets get this baby moving......... :thumb: .

Hey Jil,
I paid that $10.75 invoice for the extra esc key.
Let me know that you got it.

Because he joined on 29 July, but only started posting things 2 days ago. The stats are kept from the day you join, hence the low post per day stat.

So this is how you thought it best to "reach your 60 posts?"
(http://i.imgur.com/gSDnCgf.png)
Do you really think this was the intent behind the 60-post requirement to post in the classifieds? Or is it more likely that the admins of the forum want you to introduce yourself to the other members here (New Members forum (http://geekhack.org/index.php?board=109.0)), maybe get involved in some discussions (Keyboards forum (http://geekhack.org/index.php?board=31.0)), before you start asking people to trust you by sending money for whatever wares you came here to sell?
Edit: Sorry for the thread derail. This is the last I will post about it.

Yeah, I know this is not the best way to reach my 60 posts and I'm sorry for that. But I did not mean to do anything to harm anybody by all means. I know this record might seems bad but my intention is not to bring anyone any trouble. To sum up, I will try use another way, going forward. Thx for bring this up! I dunt think we have any problem on each other. By any way, I just want to buy some stuffs here and I can not post.
Sorry if this cause trouble to anyone here, and this is the lat time I post this.
-
please bring the discussion back on topic. tonyl0822, you'll be able to buy this set in the classified a couple of months from now. It always (I mean always) happens that someone doesn't like his set and place it in the classified right away.

He joined a while ago, posted once then had about 30 posts yesterday morning and started up again last night posting lots of one and two word posts.
Not complaining just highlighting the issue.
Perhaps the 60 post classifieds rule needs reworked.

OK！ Back on topic my friend. To be honest I would like to buy something but I can not post in the classifieds. Thus I choose to speed up a little in these two days. No 2 word comment anymore. But I indeed do not want to hurt anyone that's for sure.
End of topic~ Thanks for everyone's advice and kind attention! :p

today ís the last day for this GB. Let's join with us asap :P

Did anyone else get a tracking email for this last night? Thought it was a little weird since the keys haven't even been made yet.

I figured it was due to marking the orders as "Shipped," to avoid Paypal from locking up the account. Pretty sure 7bit did the same for the gigantic switch GB he was running.
-
Ah, makes sense.
-
Any update on this?
-
Now we're waiting for the prodution. I will post any update if I have.

It's happening!!!

Brilliant jil_jil32. This would be the first SA Profile I have bought, can't wait to see how it turns out :thumb: .
Of course when they (SP) have finished running some practice pieces, have them mail them to you so that we can get some pics on how these babies will look when they get delivered to our front doors.
-
October Any update？
-
The kits have been in production for about 2 weeks, I will be back with some updates in the next couple of days.

What's the ETA from SP?

At least we have to wait for about 2-3 more weeks, so be patient waiting for the update email from me.

Two to three weeks that's nothing. Before you know it, it'll race past and you'll have them in your hands. Just eager to see how they look and of course all the relevant pics including the backside (need some real dirty shots there) :thumb: . Just need to see how thick and juicy it looks with all that ABS.
-
didn't jump in on this one, but i'm really curious about these, especially the SA profile on a filco, since i got into the calm depths one ;)

over 1 week past. Cannot wait :D

This would be my first SA Profiled key-set and I'm glad it was with jil_jil32. Thank you for keeping us informed about their progression and completion.

This is really good, gonna match the FILCO CAMOUFLAGE very good >_<
And will be great for my Counter Strike session lol.
I also need to see the windowed capslock with LED in action :)
-
Wow, the actual caps look even more military-like than the mock-ups. Definitely a great match for the Camo!
-
I can't wait to be typing on SA profile! and on these fantastic looking caps!

These look like the perfect Fallout-inspired keyset. Gah, should've bought into this GB -- damn my cheapness!

This is the BEST bit of key-cap pron I've seen in a long time being here on Geekhack. Please make sure you get them soon so we all can get them into our keyboards :thumb: .
I'm now putting in an order for a Multicam model..........
-
Wow! The set looks amazing on the Camo Filco :eek:
Looking at this pic makes me regret not having ordered the WASD cluster as well.
(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-FbtrVF-Dcu0/UoHGy5cUhjI/AAAAAAAAFEk/FB07WaK1FKI/w1000-h667-no/237.png)
Does anybody of you guys want to get rid of these 4 keys for a fair price?
-
I should have gotten that gamer set. The yellow of the wasd keys are cool!
-
Regrets...I have quite a few,
But then again...there's gonna be round 2.
Right?
Set looks great. Congrats to you guys.
-
No, there won't be a Round 2 according to the OP.
The GB for these Spherical, High profile Military themed keysets, along with all its unique legends will be run one time only - it's NOW!
-
Oh well. Still looks fantastic.
-
should have got that gamer set, wow! set looks great!
-
should have got that gamer set, wow!
Seriously, I could punch myself for being to cheap to add it to my order. I would kill for the WASD cluster :p
Anybody wants to sell this WASD cluster? Or are there any extras?

Nice pics, Jil! The profile and (lack of) gaps between keys look great. :)

Hey, it's a Jil_jil32 Keyset Groupbuy, hence always expect the BEST from that individual. That is why he's one of the main goal kickers here on Geekhack when it comes to running successful Group Buys.
Anything he runs always finishes perfectly :thumb: .

again, great.
but, I think arrows are too big.

If you aint BIG - time to go. This key-set is perfect as is, no changes required.
-
One thing that is really good about this set is that the fonts look bolder.
Future sets using this font would be better off.
A colored font would be more noticeable.
The lilac dcs key set has this problem. The text on the alphas is practically difficult to discern as purple since it has such a thin line weight. It almost looks black.
Hopefully the font is as thick as it looks in the pictures.

Some photos I've just taken, please have a look and let me know if you notice anything strange :)

Hot damn, great set, great colourway.
I'm sad to have skipped this groupbuy.
Nice work.

Someone have mercy and sell me that yellow WASD cluster - pretty please :p

Wow! The set looks amazing on the Camo Filco :eek:
Looking at this pic makes me regret not having ordered the WASD cluster as well.

Does anybody of you guys want to get rid of these 4 keys for a fair price?
Ditto! I might by those keys for an unfair price. Sadly enough. Lol!

Mashby hit me with the shipping bill .........now :thumb: .
Make sure everything is packaged safely and securely for their trip to Convict Territory as soon as humanly possible.
-
if anyone is interest and mashby agrees I'm willing to give away my set since I'm participating in the Round 5 GB that is also SA but has more arcane key sizes that I need for custom keyboards. If interested PM me. Cheers!

Did you order the Gamer Set? I'd take it :)

Forgot to mention. I have:
1 standard
1 upgrade kit 01
1 upgrade kit 02
1 VL kit
I'd prefer to pass the whole order and not split it (to make things easier for me and mashby)

They are not flat-rate boxes, just Priority Mail boxes to be used for larger orders, which we're shipping by weight to save on shipping costs.
-
so excite!!!!
-
I don't suppose there are any extra of these? Looking for a full keycap set for an ErgoDox and I love this scheme.
-
- Same as the Valentine GB, there will be no extra set for sale after this GB closed. So please put your order in before it's too late ;) The GB for these Spherical, High profile Military themed keysets, along with all its unique legends will be run one time only - it's NOW!
your best bet is to keep a look out in the classified section for people wanting to sell there order and im not sure the ergodox add on ever got made...
-
- The price for ErgoDox add-on kit is $25 though we have only 9 orders. I will send ErgoDox people your invoice soon ^^
just found this...

Good one Mashby, looking forward to seeing these babies soon. Make sure everything is accounted for, meaning don't send out less/more keys than necessary, if it means we all wait for everything to be itemized and accounted for then that's fine.
Plus of course pace yourself, don't end up working 24/7 all day and night - for this Group Buy, you'll drive yourself insane.
-
If anyone would like to take over my order before shipping invoice go out please PM me. My order consists of one of everything except numberpad. Ergodox kit is also included in my order. :)
Bunnylake and another member were kind enough to help me out. Big thankyou to Mashby! :-*

Because you happen to live in Vietnam then I suspect it probably won't happen. I know for a fact if Mashby summoned super-human skills to sort and package thousand's of key-caps to everyone on the list then he'll truly be the KING of sorting and postage.
But because the poor guy is by himself then everything will happen slowly particularly the 'sorting' phase. I feel sorry for him because in the end all he will get from most here on GH would be abuse and slander as time goes by. Only speaking due to dozens of previous Group Buys that I have experienced close up. Geekhackers can be a real mean and nasty bunch when their caps are not delivered on time....... only speaking from real life experience here, not making any fast or loose accusations.

I don't think there is any way possible I could unseat King Klaxon, even if I had an army of smurfs to aid my efforts. :))
I'm going to do everything I can to get these orders out as fast as possible and my dining room stands at the read to receive the caps. This will be my first order fulfillment, so I do ask that everyone be patient as I sort through the process (pun intended).

Mashby should pour all the key caps into a huge pit then swim in it like Scrooge McDuck in his money pit.
On a serious note, I don't know how Mashby can do it.
I'd check each order like eight times before I sent it out because I'm so anal.
Good luck mashby

You need to have a powerful force of will to even attempt counting, sorting and then packaging correctly EVERY order that was paid for. That alone would put me in Shenton Park :thumb: .
I'd be screaming blue murder and scratching the walls for several months after doing this type of work. Everything I look at will remind me of going through that horror, even when I sleep at night, the dreaded chill as it comes over you. In the US, I'll be clutching an Ares-16 - climbing the local church tower to seek my revenge on what I suffered through.
Needless to say, I will never be 'normal' ever again........

Looks like the boxes are due to arrive this week. :eek:

Your keyboard collection must be epic at this point.
Mostly connected to PC's around the house. I thought of only supplying a couple mechanical keyboards around but the Mrs enjoys using them hence my mission is too fit out all the comps in every room of the house - with them keyboards :thumb: .
The cousins, aunts and uncles all like using them as well. They like how each room has a different keyboard with keys attached that they have never seen before. Amazing how the little ones always get excited when they see some colours before them.

that looks freakin awesome man! :)
one thing bugging me about the SA profile, since i never had those. do the stabilized keys grind on a filco or is there enough clearance for the stab wires?
also, did you have to do the plastic bag mod to the stab keys or do the standard filco stab stems fit tightly enough?
my experience with cherry profile and stock filco stab stems wasn't good so far - they were not tight enough and were falling out even with a plastic bag mod and i really didn't want to superglue them, that's why i'm asking.
-
@skuko: I can tell you that the stems of the SP's SA keys are not so tight, so you might still have to use the plastic bag / sticky tape mod if you're having problems with your cherry / SP's DCS keys now. And the longer keys that need stabilizers can be used normally, no problem.
-
I'm happy to report that I've completed the receiving process. Everything has been unboxed, counted and sorted to ensure that everything that has been ordered has been received! No drama, no missing keys or sets.

DAMN this guy has it all worked out :thumb: . I didn't know you had this in you to organize everything so perfectly. Looking forward to receiving the invoice for shipping.
Just another note here for all future Group Buys that we Australian (Convicts) get involved with, you organizers need to place onto the Customs Forms that we are receiving an RMA part for our "broken keyboards", not worth more than $20.00AUD (never include the true cost of what was paid onto the package). That way we avoid getting Abbott-raped in taxes for the new year.
YES we have now joined the UK in getting screwed over for our paid for items, you see when a new arsehole, gets elected into power over here how everything changes for the worse. Our days of true freedom disappeared on September 7th 2013, it will always be remembered as the day we start to pay more for everything in this foul convict settlement >:( .
Sorry to let the world know of what is happening here - but the truth has to be told, from within.
-
I finished creating and printing the "Check Sheets".
Packaging Test
I also tested packing in the small flat-rate boxes. This is only for those with small orders that include only 1 or 2 sets.
With bubble wrap, I can package a single standard kit and nothing more. Without any packaging materials, I can get a standard kit and a numpad kit, or an add-on kit. The tightest fit is the Standard Kit with Upgrade Kit 02. Those are packed night and tight, which is how SP sent the 20lb boxes to me -- no padding. Granted those were much bigger boxes will less risk of getting crushed, but I could package your order something like what you see below.
(http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5550/11393845124_ee9b4e1a00_z.jpg) (http://www.flickr.com/photos/compactkey/11393845124/)
Packaging Test (http://www.flickr.com/photos/compactkey/11393845124/) by cpkey (http://www.flickr.com/people/compactkey/), on Flickr
Bear in mind, I still need to test the shipping by weight option will be, but personally, I would want bubble wrap just to make sure everything arrived safe and sound. For those orders that I think will fit, I'll PM you and give you the option to choose before I invoice you for the shipping.
What's Next?
I've done all I can do for today, but now that the "Check Sheets" are printed (and a beer consumed :p ), I'll begin boxing up everyone's order and put together the Ergodox Kits tomorrow.
1. Create the Ergodox Sets from the bulk blanks
2. Assemble everyone's individual order
3. Send invoices
4. Receive payment
5. Ship Orders
6. Handle exceptions & errors

I think SA keys are extremely durable. I have received regular DCS in a bubble mailer via international shipping several times with no issues. Obviously a little extra care goes a long way keep doing what you are doing.
Very excited for this set, looks absolutely amazing on camo boards and probably everything else.

Sorry for the lack of updates this week. Work just dumped a truckload in my lap on Monday and just got out from under it just now.

For me please don't package the receipt from SP inside the box because Customs Scumbags will open and inspect every key, nook and cranny of that box.
If there is a separate receipt showing who made the caps+payment, then please send it in a separate envelope to my address (I'll pay for it of course). Anyone who opens that shipping box MUST not know who made the caps.

Oh YES, those GOOD OLD days have now disappeared. Since the NEW Abbott (arsehole) got elected into power he vanquished away Howard's brilliant over $1000.00AUD tax rape.
Now, beginning 2014 - we the poor convicts of Australia will have to pay TAX on anything imported into this desolate dump which is over $20.00AUD. So imagine a country that makes nothing at all and totally relies on everything to be imported into it, now decides to tax everyone individually, for buying anything overseas.
I still wipe away tears when I think about Howard losing the election some time back :'( :'( :'( :'( . To us, he was the "Ronald Reagan" of this miserable convict settlement.
-
why would there be a receipt??
Just any sort of mention in written form that the key-caps came from SP has to be avoided. Absolutely nothing has to be in the box other than the key-caps because the Customs Parasites are not that smart in determining the true value of these items.
Just need Bunny to note, that all future dealings with Australia has to be like that so that the customs forms that are filed need to be accurate and can not be refuted by those arseholes.
Sorry for being so mean to them but they are the taxing agents for a regime that shouldn't of been elected in the first place....so easy here to lose our basic freedoms, just beware you don't head down our track any time soon (our US friends especially).

There is no receipt, nor any indicator that these came from Signature Plastics, much less a company. :thumb:
Status Update
ErgoDox sets have been assembled, bagged and tagged. For those of you that ordered a set, I've added some pictures that illustrates how they were packaged. Start Here (http://www.flickr.com/photos/compactkey/11497528064/in/set-72157638707498086).

ErgoDox Ready For Shipping (http://www.flickr.com/photos/compactkey/11498816614/) by cpkey (http://www.flickr.com/people/compactkey/), on Flickr
I'm assembling everyone's order now and I should begin invoicing later today. I plan to ship US orders first only because it takes less work and represents 60% of the orders. Not to mention that it will clear out some space in my office. ;D
Once I've e-mailed you your invoice and then received your payment for shipping, I'll print your shipping label, provide you with a tracking number and then drop off your package at the post office.
What's Next?
1. Assemble everyone's individual order
2. PM those with small orders to confirm packaging
3. Send invoices
4. Receive payment
5. Ship Orders
6. Handle exceptions & errors

Status Update

Just notice this, there are 16 (instead of 12) 1x Row 4 VF keys in the Assembling The ErgoDox Sets photo sir ^o^
That's not what your instructions were to me via e-mail and if I do the math, that doesn't add up. I'll send you a PM.

I sent all the PM's out to everyone that qualified for small flat-rate box and asked for their preference on which shipping method they'd prefer. I've also send e-mail and PM's to jil_jil32 to confirm a couple of small details. Once I have responses, I can begin invoicing everyone for their shipping and get these boxes on their way!

My bad. My post was not clear enough :D Take your time

Sorry for the lack of updates, but the end-of-year stuff for my business just buried me and I'm only now just coming up for air.
I will begin sending out shipping invoices tomorrow and my goal is to get everything out that I can over the next week. I'll be shipping as I receive payments and I will update as I go through the orders, but below are my next steps.

1. Send invoices (2014-01-04)

This is one invoice worth waiting for :thumb: . As soon as I get mine you'll get the moolah straight away.
Remember Mashby we all appreciate the effort you've gone through to get these out to us here, thank you so much for putting in the effort and keeping us appraised of what's happening.
-
Hey Mashby, should I have received an invoice yet? SO EXCITE!!!!!!

Were invoices ever sent?
Not trying to rush you if they haven't been sent, just double checking since they were supposed to go out on the 4th and I haven't received one.
Thanks!

yeah, a little worried, mashby hasn't been online in almost a week and he said invoices were going to go out early last week or the week before. Mashby probably just got caught up in something, still concerned though.

It is a bit of a tease, but unpredictable delays are to be expected when everybody is working in their spare time. It's the price of getting such a small run exclusive set.

He must be super busy with his business... I'm finding a way to contact him now.

So sorry guys for not giving a proper status update and falling off the radar like that. I hate it when I've seen other organizers do it in group buys that I've been involved in and I certainly didn't want to fall prey to the same behavior -- alas, I did. So sorry.
So What Happened?
No sooner did I say that I was going to start sending invoices, then Winter Storm Ion (http://www.wunderground.com/news/winter-storm-ion-state-state-impacts-20140105) hit the Midwest and East Coast here in the US. Based in Nashville, we didn't get hit quite so bad, but the bulk of the customers in my day job are in that area and we were just deluged with work. I already work 12-hour days, 6-days a week, so there just wasn't a lot of bandwidth to absorb the extra demands.
Uh huh, uh huh, that's great, so where are my key caps?
Still safely boxed up in my office (http://www.flickr.com/photos/compactkey/11503499914/in/set-72157638707498086) and ready for shipping. I will begin sending out the shipping invoices today. As I've stated before, I'll be doing the US first since they are easier and faster to process and then moving to International. I'll post updates as I get the orders processed.
Again, I'm very, very sorry for dropping off like that, but I plan to work very hard to get as many orders processed this week as I can.
-
No problem at all Sir. Thanks for the update!
-
No problem at all(2), always thanks for your efforts
Anyway, don't forget that I changed my shipping address ;)

Damn, Mashby why live in a place so cold? You should come here amongst us convicts and enjoy our current over 100F temps, where you only have to worry about the flies crawling into your gullet/nasal cavity during the daylight hours. Since you already work 12 hour shifts then you'll enjoy our 7 day rosters for two weeks at a time, when you first start.
Good everything is okay with you, I hope the weather eases a little where you currently live. Thanks for dropping by and letting us worry-worts know whats happening :thumb: .

OK, I've run out of a couple of packing materials, so I'll be going to pick that up now, but I've done all the final packaging I can do for today. :-[
However, I am proud to say that 40% of the orders have been invoiced and are packaged and ready to ship. Once I receive your payment for shipping, I'll print the label and drop it off at the Post Office. Thank you to everyone who sent in their payment so quickly today.

Yes. My wife had other plans for me yesterday, so I didn't make it into the office to wrap up the US orders. I did make it to the Office Depot to pickup more packing material though, so I'm boxing up and sending out invoices today.
Also, an update for everyone that paid yesterday. I've processed your shipping label and you should have received your tracking number. Today is a holiday for the USPS, so I won't be able to drop off the packages until tomorrow.

Printed shipping labels for everyone that paid since the last update and I have a big batch that I will be dropping off at the main Post Office this evening.
Also, a couple of packages have been delivered thus far and many more due to arrive later today. When you receive your package, please post a note that everything delivered safely and that its complete, so that I can mark it off my list as complete.

One backspace broken......these keys are tighter than a dolphins butthole. I even put Krytox on the stem so in theory it would release easier.

I did a test and put the backspace on to test one key with a stabilizer before doing the entire board, and when I went to pull the key off it pulled the entire stem and upper switch housing with it. On the MX white there is a little tab on the left and right side of the stem that keeps it from exiting the housing, one of them broke. I had 3 spare MX Whites, now I'm down to two and I'm testing the other keys on a non soldered MX Black first.
-
I tested vintage black and the keys are not too tight on it, MX Whites are pretty tight, and MX Clear is like a death grip. People should be cautious with the switch type they use these on. I'll probably put them on my Phantom in Camo case and never remove them.

I had that happen to me three times while putting on and taking off R4 SPH set on MX whites.

Haha, same, Ray, but then I'm not planning on swapping that set out for a good long while :D

It's sad to hear that. I did try those SA caps on MX Blue and vintage Black ones and found out it's not very tight so it's really unexpected that the MX White and Clear ones got problem with them. :(

I'm rocking commando on mx whites, they are a bit tight, but I don't feel like its gonna break the stems. They make the whites sound nicer than dcs too.

The non matte shifts, caps, and return threw me off a bit but I don't really mind.
Just out of curiosity, was this the most complete finish available?
-
Yes that's the most complete matte finish I can get for the set, unfortunately SP does not have mold for matte finish of some keys, just semi-matte.
It's interesting to see how you use the arrows keys ^^

Got mine last night, looking great on my Poker!

Thank you to everyone that is posting about receiving their order and confirming that everything arrived safe-and-sound. I can't tell you how much that means to me.
Yesterday I dropped off a ton of packages at the main post office here in Nashville and it looks like they should all be delivered on Friday.
Also, I began invoicing the International orders and those that have paid should go out in the mail today. Thank you to everyone for the fast payments and I'll be printing your shipping labels later today and you'll have your tracking shortly thereafter.

Thanks Tym for the comment and thank you Irisviel for your patience.
More international invoices will be going out this afternoon after I process the ones that have paid. It's my first time with International shipping, so I want to make sure I do it correctly before I batch out the rest.
I've been grouping them by country so that it's easier to estimate shipping costs as I go. The batch for your county should be going out late this afternoon.

I probably will, but I don't know how helpful it'll be. There are people way more automated and dialed in on this process than me. My guess is that I did it the slowest and most tedious method possible. LOL! :p

It's sad to hear that. I did try those SA caps on MX Blue and vintage Black ones and found out it's not very tight so it's really unexpected that the MX White and Clear ones got problem with them. :(
I keep hearing how some people getting their SP keycaps for their beloved keyboards and breaking their caps putting them in or taking them out. All I know I have heaps of DSA's, DCS's and some SA's and they all go into Filco's with Red, Blue, Black and Brown switches so effortlessly.
The LH-GZ I have has all Ergo-clears and they will accept all these profiled key-caps despite it being tight somewhat (good one Cherry Corp) >:D . Not SP's fault because if their caps all fit the other coloured switches comfortably why would you blame them for not fitting easily onto Clears/Whites?
For myself, I just lube the caps (very pornographically) that need to go into the LZ-GH and they work :thumb: .
-
oh snap looks like im getting mine a day early, they reached my post office. i am excited!! will i be the first to show these or any SA set ever on a ergodox? maybe....

Yesterday there were some technical issues with Java and my printer which ate up a good bit of time to resolve for printing the labels for International packages. For this reason, no additional invoices went out yesterday. :-[
The good news is that all payments that have been received have been processed and shipped. The first of the International orders went out yesterday and everyone should have received your tracking numbers.
More invoices will be going out this afternoon now that I'm more adapt at the International side of things and I apologize for the delay and thank everyone for their patience.

Have you received the keys bud?

hmm USPS saying delivered but i go out on doorstep and its not there. mailbox is far away in my townhouse complex and haven't checked it yet but im hoping that either usps marking it as delivered early (which is f'd up but they have done it before) or its small enough to go in a mailbox (which i doubt). hoping its not a address thing
-
It may well mean that it went back to the Post Office on the truck. Sometimes my local postmen are so busy that they don't actually deliver though it says "delivered" on the tracking page. I've called my post office about it before, and they just tell me to wait for it, that my package should go out the next day. I'd see if your tracking updates in the evening. Even if it doesn't, you might get the package tomorrow.
-
Maybe the postman is running over to your house at this moment! Hope you receive it safe n sound Glod!

Glod there might also be a usps key in your smaller box. If you have the larger lockers there.
Got mine. Now to decide which wasd cluster to use!

right after i wrote that post i heard a loud THUD at my door. i assume it was that my package was thrown at my door out the mailtruck window (no **** they do that, drive by thrown packages)
Dude Mashby, holy **** man you went overboard on the packaging, like you took it to a level ive never had before when it comes to key cap orders
But i have to thank you, just look how my box arrive (no joke)

we dont do lockers here, its odd, they just throw packages at my door, my other apartment complexes did lockers and i loved that stuff. i guess its because i live in a townhouse apartment, so i have an actual doorstep.

Loving these caps with the MX Green switches, the combo makes for a really nice typing experience. I used the dished F and J keys in the home row (and dished 5 in the number pad), adds that extra bit of vintage feel. Did I mention how much I'm loving it? :thumb:

The boxes that we chose for shipping by weight were pretty large, so I opted to go a bit overboard. Looking at the condition of your box, I'm very glad that I did.
Thanks for the pictures!

No payments came in today, so no trip to the post office for me. Yea!
I did get out a bunch of invoices though. I didn't get to the Asian countries yet, but I'll get to that either tomorrow, or over the weekend. I know you guys have been waiting and I'm sorry that I couldn't get to all the invoices today. I do see light at the end of the tunnel though! :eek:

Ok i got these on my ergodox and i have used them for the past 5-6 hours
one thing is that they are really tall on the ergodox, and if you have a full hand you cant rest your hand anymore on the case unless you add some padding, i anticipated this but i didn't imagine it to require i double do it on kenesis pads (using my used ones from a long time ago). so far so good, awesome stuff. it would probably work better on my other ergodox with the wooden rests but that ergodox is pretty much out of commission.

oh snap looks like im getting mine a day early, they reached my post office. i am excited!! will i be the first to show these or any SA set ever on a ergodox? maybe....
No!!! I think I posted a pic with white SA keys on the 2u thumb keys. :P

Got my invoice today and paid it right away :)
Was a little shocked that it said ~40$ for international shipping, as IvanIvanovich was able to send me 4 complete dyesub PBT sets plus the purple GMK Mod set for 20$ plus fees.
But looking at how careful Mashby apparently packed everything it's probably worth it :thumb:
In total this might be the most expensive set I bought here on GH but looking at these pictures I don't regret a thing ;)

Was that shipped Priority, or First-Class?
Also, USPS quoted a higher price than what was actually generated through PayPal for a few of the European orders. Yours was quoted at $35.67, but the actual was $31.06. I'll be issuing the refunds for those that were affected over the weekend.
More Payments Received
Received more payments this morning and I'll be dropping off your orders to the Post Office today. Everyone who has paid as of 9:28 AM CST should have a tracking number for your order.

Mine said:

It's really expensive
Your actual price turned out to be $35.27, so yours is one of the invoices that is due a refund of the difference.
That being said, your package was 2lb 10oz and shipped from zip code 37013. If we had gone flat-rate, the price would have been $59.95. By shipping-by-weight it was $24.68 less. First-class shipping would have been $26.73, but as we discussed at the start, Priority Mail was chosen as the method of shipping. Please check my math at http://postcalc.usps.com (http://postcalc.usps.com).

I'm sure you have choosen the best option :-)
nonetheless $45 seemed expensive to me

I love how well protected my shipment was.
Thanks Mash.

I would give it a ":thumb:" for the one on the left.

so ive been typing on these all day on the my ergodox
pros:
- the high profile is great for typing comfort and even gaming, feels like my model m in that aspect
- makes cherry MX feel more sturdy and less wobbly and cheap,
- the quality is higher than GMK in my opinion.
- The color on these is much better than i thought they would be, my wife doesnt like them but they are very manly, im wondering how it would have been though if instead of green, a darker tan be used, in the case of the ergodox i actually could snag some replacement keys in different color from SP if they ever appear in inventory.
cons:
- not really enjoying them that much with my lighter mx reds, too much impact. i can see that blacks would feel better with these. I'm tired of mx red in general and plan on doing a switch swap to ergo or stock clears with these. i put one of these on a stock clear and felt really awesome and super tactile.
- like mentioned below the height is just a tad too tall for a ergo dox, you have to realize SA sits higher on the switch mount than DCS and DSA so height+mount leads to a really tall key cap. look at a model M and see how much the key cap is sunk in. So resting my wrist is impossible on the full hand style case. Once i transplant this to the classic case and use my wooden wrist rest (ergodock) which sits higher then this problem will be solved,
-those with full hand ergodox or anyone with a normal keyboard and thin wrist rest should keep this in mind that the caps are too tall to be used with thinner/short wrist rests.
- final con is that because its R3 for all 3 main rows, it has the same problem DSA users or scissor switch keyboard users have and that is you can accidentally wonder off if you are a touch typer like me, sculpted keys usually prevent this. If you are new to the ergodox and a touch typer i would not recommend SA
ok thats all for me in this mini-review/rant

Time for my usual morning update!
All orders that have invoices paid have been shipped. No new payments have been received as of this morning @ 11:18 AM CST. With no shipping duties today, that leaves me with time to complete the invoicing process.
I have 22% of the invoices left to generate and those should be completed by the end of the weekend. Again, I thank everyone that is still waiting for their invoice for their patience.

I really have to commend mashby on a fantastic packaging job. I am genuinely shocked that shipping and handling only cost as much as it did with the quality packing job these caps received.
Here's a few pictures of the set on a full size board while I try to find my camera charger.

Also, are there any extras of the VL kit? I feel pretty dumb for not having ordered one but this keyboard could really use the accent colors it has.

There aren't any leftovers, but I think there will be a few people selling them given how many they ordered.

mashby.. I received the caps yesterday. Excellent job on the sorting, packing and shipping!
Jil.. Hell of a group buy. Awesome job, man!
A few comments on the key caps..
* They look really, really nice. They feel great.
* I love the matte surface! All GBs should go that route. :-)
* It's nice having the full size backspace and shift keys.
* The caps do fit pretty tight on the switches, as others have commented. SP's Round 4 SPH caps are not this tight. Just have to be careful when removing the caps, use a puller and lift straight up.
* I didn't realize the windows would be green. Thought they'd be clear. No biggie.
* Great colors on the lily caps
* I slightly miss having the full sculpted profile, but this is a good compromise.
Thanks again for the amazing GB!

I love your keyboard, mtl. It's perfect :)
-
I just put these on my red-switches QFR, and they look nice. :)
The only problem is, for my board, they're actually kind of loose. Not like fall-off loose, but definitely not too tight. Also, the stabilizers fall right out, I had to glue those in place on the space bar.

Ouch, glue was probably not the right choice... Usually a small square of tape will do the trick.
-
Well, it hasn't dried yet, I can try that. I just did the spacebar, none of the other keys really need stabilizers.

Very high efficiency! :thumb:

The keys really look superb, the US-style military key-set is to die for. I couldn't understand something like this wasn't done earlier on, the graphics and colours make you want to head down that jungle again with your M-16's and AK-47's.
-
I'm excited to know that people also like the keyset like me. It's also very helpful and interesting to know your thoughts about the keyset :thumb:
There still are some details I wish I could do for the keyset but if only SP was capable to do so :(
It's amazing to see the keyset on everyone's keyboard... It make me happier than only looking at it on my own board.
!!! mashby, you're doing so well! Great job! :thumb:

Teflon tape (aka plumber's tape) works pretty good.
I first tried to put them on my browns, but they were so tight I decided not to risk it after a few keys.. I ended up installing them on blues, which were still pretty snug, but looser than the browns.

I have 2 camo-Filco's itching for this key-set. They need these urgently.

The last of the international invoices have been sent! :thumb:
I have two more invoices to send out for the two massive orders, but I need to do a recount to make sure I'm not missing anything and I need a bigger scale to calculate the actual weight. Those will go out next week.
However, for everyone else, your invoice should have already made it to your inbox. Double check your address and once I receive the payment, I'll print the label and ship it ASAP.

Yeah, the price for shipping was surprising but it is a well packed box. It seems to be a bit overkill tbh but better than broken keys. Hoping to get them soon.

Hair extensions and hairpieces really can help to improve the looking of people and help to change them a lot hair extensions and hairpieces if choosing the right type and right style of hair wigs for you, of course that you will look and become more and more attractive and also buy cheap hair wigs now is easy as you can just get the ideal style that you want online at online shops now.

Back to commando, I really would like to thank jil_jil32 for this group buy and mashby for the sorting and packing.
I know mashby is a busy dude but he is a fantastic distributor and if ever possible i would love for him to do another. I hope im not jinxing the international orders by saying this.
jil_jil32 did fantastic planning this, the colors were unique (and a little bit risky in my opinion) and row arrangement was on mark; and making it possible for ErgoDox layout to be included at a reasonable price even though the orders were low on ergodox.
I mean i could complain maybe a little bit on how long this took but its not entirely unusual for a 6-7 month SP group buy, especially considering some of the unique things SP had to do.
SA is awesome quality, though i worry about the long and non-reinforced stem. Like i said earlier it doesn't exactly work well on a full hand ergodox because of height. Maybe i can get MOZ to cut me some spacer layers some day, I'm going to try DSA again later and figure out which i like better on the ergodox. Commando will most likely be going on a different keyboard than my ergodox in the end just because i think want to make a themed keyboard with it due to the unique military colors.
-
Finally, I received them with the huge box!
Really Thanks Jil and Mashby. ;)
-
OMGGGGG. The packing is just stunning. There is no way to harm those keycaps. Great job mashby.

Thank you Glod and chaosstep for both your patience and your kind words.

A Note About International Shipping
I'm probably just being a bit defensive and overly sensitive on this issue, but I'd rather err on the side of over explaining than just assume that everything is "OK." So if you'll indulge me...
When we finalized the shipping arrangements, we used the Flat-Rate pricing as the estimated amount and then promised that it would be less. Given that we were shipping by weight and not flat-rate for orders that did not fit in a small flat rate box, this made it impossible to provide an accurate estimate. All we could say is, basically, to trust us that we'd do the right thing to keep your cost as low as possible.
After the pricing was established, we then discussed the fact that this set is a larger key cap than most sets from SP and most orders would not fit in a Small Flat-Rate box. We recommended keeping the Medium Flat-Rate box pricing (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=45655.msg955882#msg955882) in mind when it came to shipping for International orders, in other words $60 in shipping would be the maximum.
Now that we are invoicing and shipping, I can understand that there is some sticker shock at seeing $30 - $40 shipping fees, but the costs are still less then we estimated and please know that we've done everything we can to keep the price as low as possible.
But Those Boxes Are Massive!
Are the boxes a bit overkill? You bet they are, but none of that added any real cost to your shipping. We're shipping by weight and not by the box type, so we chose a larger box than necessary and used bubble wrap and peanuts, which are lightweight. Granted, a smaller box would have made it easier for me, but it wouldn't have impacted your shipping costs much, if at all.
Now The Good News - REFUNDS
The USPS International Calculator (http://postcalc.usps.com) appears to have incorrectly calculated the shipping costs for International orders. I'm keeping track of both what was estimated and paid and also what the actual cost to ship your order was.
Case in point, a shipment to Taiwan was estimated to be $43.13, however when the shipment label was printed the cost was actually $37.17. This means that this order was overcharged by $5.96. I will be gifting back the difference, and thereby paying the PayPal fees to do so, once I go through each invoice and shipping label to determine the exact difference. Right now it's averaging around $5, but I'll provide you with an exact amount when I send your refund.
I don't know why there was a cost difference in the estimator and the actual shipment cost, but that calculator was the only thing I had to go on and it worked quite reliably for all of the US orders. I know their may be exchange rates involved in your refund and I know that this method is less than optimal, but it's the only recourse available I'm afraid.
Man This Guy Is Long Winded
As I said at the beginning, I'd rather err on the side of caution (and verbosity) than just assume that everyone is on the same page. I've never done order fulfillment before and you guys have been ever-so-patient with me. It's with that appreciation that I wish to give you as much detail as I can on the process and to be as transparent as possible.
So What's Next?
1. 15% of the invoices are still outstanding. Once those payment are received, those orders will ship.
2. Two large orders are still awaiting invoices and I should have those tomorrow.
3. 34% of the orders are enroute to be delivered
4. 19% of the received orders have not been confirmed as complete. So if you've received your order and you having posted to this thread, or PM'd me that your order is complete, you're on that list. :rolleyes:

Better safe than sorry for sure.
But let's doing some simple math:
Standard kit + Upgrade kit 01 = $110
Shipping = $35
VAT 22% of 110+35 = $32
Shipping + VAT = $67 the price of a Standard kit...
We've got a problem here, my simple solution is to choose wisely the sets i'm going to buy
and this one is well worth!

Daily Update
I sent out reminders to those who had invoices for over a week and found a payment that didn't get processed. Doh! :eek:
All invoices that have been paid have been shipped, so I'm standing by for more payments so that I can ship the remaining 14%. In the meantime, I brought a larger scale in and I'll be recounting and packaging the final two orders so that I can invoice them and get them out.
I'm also going through all the paid invoices to calculate the refunds I mentioned yesterday. I don't expect those to be complete until the weekend.

The board is great, sir. I love your board too. It looks just like twin of mine =P
Can't wait to see the pics of someone's full-size filco camou with this 23 Commando keyset on it.
Also thank everyone for the kind words. It's thanks to all the participants that we can have this amazing set done. And I'm lucky that mashby handle the most troublesome part for me.
The keyset is worth the wait and I'm happy. I hope everyone will be happy too when you receive the keys.
@Latin00032: good luck with your find, bro. Keep looking for it! I will let you know if by any chance I can find a kit for you. Your board sure will be incomplete if you don't have it.
/Read back in the thread and saw this post of Elrick, I smiled ;D Thanks man, again, for the encouraging words back then.
And, I have full faith in my color choices :p It would look great!!!
If anyone has the color chips from SP, you will see :thumb:
Cmon, we all already know that by now jil_jil32 8) . I think you're the one to run a successful full SA Key-set and that is why I am in this Group Buy.

Shipping Refunds
I just completed a full audit of everyone's payment and compared it to the actual shipping costs and then issued a refund of the difference. I sent it as a gift so that if there were any PayPal costs, they would be incurred by me and not you.
Some refunds were only $0.25 - $0.65, but many of the overseas orders were $5 and $6. Regardless of the difference, if you were due a refund, I sent it. The total amount in refunds was $102.40.
Next Steps
1. Just a couple of huge orders to recount and package and that will result in the last of the invoices to go out. Thanks to those of you that have been waiting so patiently for your invoices.
2. Only a handful of payments are outstanding, but the hard work of double counting everyone's order, packaging, weighing, estimating and invoicing is complete. Once your payment is received, I typically get it out the same day.
3. As those new payments come in, I'll be issuing refunds immediately since I'm now tracking all the information necessary to issue a refund properly.

How I Keep Track
For those that are interested, I've been keeping a multi-tab spreadsheet in Google Docs that I shared with jil_jil32. Below is a screenshot of the main tab that I use to track everyone's shipping and payments. Clearly, I'm using all 27" of my display to view this spreadsheet. :))
Note: I blocked out the GeekHack username and tracking number columns to maintain everyone's privacy.

My mrs just called me, that a BIG white postal box from the US has arrived :o .
I got her to read the address label from the sender and sure enough it's from M..... T. Ashby. Thank you buddy.
Didn't think it would arrive this early but my place here in Convict Town doesn't seem all that isolated anymore. Talk about a well sorted execution of everyone's key-sets and constant updates here in this section, I think we need to say to Mashby that you need to take a bow because you've shown all what it should be like when distributing a Group Buy key-set.
I LOVE you heaps :thumb: .

It's a custom build made with help from matt3o, muirium, and others at DT. :-) There are a couple other pics earlier in this thread with the Commando caps on it. Pics of the build are here: https://imgur.com/a/wBI0y

Is there a thread anywhere that discusses the build? I'd also love to know which OLED display that is.

Very interesting to have that little screen there! Can we see the entire length of the 'board with 23 Commando on it? Looks like it could have been ripped from a UFO console. :thumb:

Information is scattered about at the moment. The build thread is here (http://deskthority.net/marketplace-f11/laser-cut-prototyping-mini-gb-t6102.html). Details about the OLED and other parts are here (http://deskthority.net/wiki/User:Mtl), though that page links to the display's manufacturer, although it is often available on eBay (where I bought it).

Hey guys,
I picked up my set from the customs office today.
Box-Ception
The keycaps were in a box that was protected by an even bigger box. Kinda overkill in my opinion, but I guess better be safe than sorry ;)
(http://i.imgur.com/Yoa4MOH.jpg)
Not a single key was missing, but I didn’t expect anything else from Mashby :thumb: Thanks for all the work you put into this! I liked your constant updates and your well organized approach to handle everything.
(http://i.imgur.com/IF5MaD3.jpg)
(http://i.imgur.com/l9s7qhj.jpg)
My naked board waiting for its first SA keycaps. As expected they are not really good for typing. I lost 30 WPM compared to typing on Cherry profile. But I think they are fine for gaming, because you rather have to tap than type.
(http://i.imgur.com/gGAqRGR.jpg)
Ready for action!

Sorry Krogenar, this is all I could get out of my potato. I just suck at taking pictures :(

The 23 Commando keys on a black keyboard look also amazing!
Oh and I love how you use the ArmyMan bot, bro ;)

Yeah, thanks!
Now I just need to find the Gamer WASD Cluster to make it perfect. I could kick me for not ordering it when I still had the chance :mad:

Box-Ception
The keycaps were in a box that was protected by an even bigger box. Kinda overkill in my opinion, but I guess better be safe than sorry ;)
For sure, Mashby had packaged these key-caps to be dropped safely out of an airplane traveling at 40'000 feet hence he really lived up to the Military Code of this key-set :thumb: . It's been a long time since I've seen such a well-packed key-set such as this.
Like I said once to him, you have to do more of these in the future, if Matt3o or Bunny needs someone of your vast experience and know how in distributing these items quickly then we the PEOPLE here would be more than happy to pay you in doing this. It basically gives Matt3o and Bunny some breathing space when it comes to running future Group Buys if Mashby is in charge of distribution.
Not trying to pressure the poor guy into being our permanent distributor but it's been so perfect and how could you not want faultless delivery of goods such as these, within the near future?

I'm Irish. Me and Potatoes, we go way back. :thumb:
EDIT: Is it just me, or is the profiling on this set insane-looking -- as in, really, really curved. What's that feel like to type on?
-
Got all key sets today！ Thx Jil and mashby！
-
Just put these on and it's strange to change profile. Haven't thought much of it before but now it's noticeable. The deep dish F & J are also something to get used to but this set is jsut gorgeous. The huge font gives a special look to the keyboard. Still waiting for the first colleageue to come by to see what they think of it. :)
Horrible quality on images but can't get any better with the phone:

EDIT: Is it just me, or is the profiling on this set insane-looking -- as in, really, really curved. What's that feel like to type on?
Yeah, the profile is really different. That's why I wrote I dropped 30WPM with it, but after forcing me to use it a couple of days I am back at my normal ~100 WPM. So like many things when it comes to typing or switch types it's basically personal preference.
I have to say it feels more exhausting to type fast with these keys, but that might also be a placebo effect or me overreacting to the profile (like lifting fingers higher than I need to, etc.).
Nevertheless, I am still pretty sure that this will be my first and last SA set. It's just too much of a change when you constantly use different keyboards that have Cherry profile at work and then come back home to type on these SA monsters :p
EDIT:
Especially the ESC-Row seems really steep. Look at jil_jil32's pics:

With 90% of the orders delivered and only one invoice outstanding, we're in the final phases of this Group Buy. jil_jil32 (http://geekhack.org/index.php?action=profile;u=6989) has been ever so patient waiting for everyone else to receive their orders and we've finally pulled the trigger to ship the organizer's order!
If you've received your order and not confirmed that it's complete, I'll be sending out PMS's just to verify and mark it as complete.
Lastly, once the final invoice is paid, I'll publish the costs associated with the shipping to show how everything came out in the wash. *hint* there wasn't any profit. :))

Talk about a supreme effort here on distribution. You've set the standard here on keeping everyone informed and I still use your name to encourage others to follow your example. When anyone is thinking about running a Group Buy here on Geekhack, try and do a "Mashby" when sending out all the orders because it will always prove highly successful for everyone concerned :thumb: .
Have to admit I am now a rampant Fanboy for this individual and the way he's run this :-* .
-
Packages delivered. I haven't got them in my hands though, but I know it got warped & packed so carefully. Thank you mashby!

If I'm ever having a bad day, I'm going to post an update to this thread just so I can get a pick me up. ;)
You guys are too much, thank you.

Finally got around to actually putting my set on a KBT Pure and giving them a test drive. I thought the profile would be too tall, but I really like this set a lot! jil_jil32 you really outdid yourself with this set. :eek:
There are so many nice touches and now that I've been trying them out on different boards, I can see just how much work went into those upgrade kits. It makes the set so flexible to use. Thank you! :-*

Oh yes, the ones who never participated in this Group Buy will never know this feeling of contentment. Knowing the we have in our Keyboards the very best of what SP can produce is always reason enough to just let them do what they do best - make key-caps.
I just pity the rest stuck with cheapo DCS profiles and trying to fool all of us on how happy they are with that choice, poor suckers.
What made this GB so special was the involvement of Mashby for sorting and distributing everything, which he has set the golden standard of how it should be done. Maybe you should contact SP here because I hear they're trying their best to organize distribution of their key-sets. If in doubt they should always contact the professionals here on Geekhack that have run highly successful Group Buys.
Thank you Mashby for handing me my key-caps, a few weeks ago. I shudder to think if I had to rely on someone else like SP to deliver them.
-
I love your board, mashby! The shotgun key is really a nice touch. Excellent!

Agreed--the bullet cap is a great touch!
Whoever did not pay their shipping invoice should really do so soon, so the thread title can finally move off the "99% Shipped" mark :)

I'm finding for me one of this awesome keyset. Hopefully, I can get my hand on it soon.
BTW, Can you guys please tell me the experience with SA profile keycap? I have read some thing about its issues of taking out ( too tight), and it might damage the stem of switch.
Cheers.

The answer is yes for Cherry MX Clear stem, very tight. For Cherry MX Brown, they are tight and for Cherry MX Red and Black, they are fit. However, everything has a solution. You can work around by slightly lube the stem with normal viscosity oil before plugging the keycaps in. When you pull them out, use your hand instead of the keycap puller.

Thanks for your experiences. What about blue switch? You haven't mention blue :D. I have had experience with Silicone as lubricant for rubik cube, so it would be fine, rite?

For Cherry MX blue, it is just like Brown. You can use any kind of lube but it should have good viscosity, food grade, safe for plastic and safe for human use. If you are in America, you can find them easily like Lubriplate fmo-350-aw oil (not the spraying one).

Very sad I missed on this one. :(
I did not have a keyboard to use this set when the group buy was still open.
Only recently got a MX board.
Wonder if there are anyone willing to let me purchase their TKL set, as long as there is Tsangan that comes with it.

Unfortunately, there weren't any leftovers, but I'm surprised that I haven't seen many sets up for sale in the Classifieds. I know Halverson sold his pretty quickly, but other than that one set, I can't think of any others.
Just keep your eyes peeled on the Classifieds, there's bound to be a set or two down the road. Good luck! :thumb:
