Orders are closed, invoices going out tonight (and potentially over the weekend. I've got a lot of them.)
INVOICES ARE DUE OCT 4th AT MIDNIGHT

To start, a bit about me and what my goals are.
I am a soldier in the US Army, stationed in Korea. That being said, shipping times may be excruciating, but shipping costs will remain at CONUS pricing, with the potential for cheap Asian shipping as well. My biggest goal in all of this is transparency. Please keep that in mind. The Army may take me away at a moment's notice for weeks on end. If I disappear, I swear it's not my fault, and I will be back. I will always do everything I can to keep you guys informed, even if I have no new information for you. I will update this thread at a minimum of once per week, and I want you to PM me and email me at phoenixcreations@hotmail.com if I am remiss in my duties.
I am not doing this GB for profit. Period. I will be charging some extra on top of each order. 2 or 3 dollars, to cover in case shipping runs high, and to order a couple extra sets. These sets are not for me, they will be auctioned off after the GB is complete. My plan is to have three extra sets after all is said and done, and hold three auctions. One you will be bidding on the keycap set for yourself, the second you will be bidding on it for someone of your choosing, and the third, bidding on for someone of my choosing (Someone who doesn't have the funds to get their own, and who is notably lacking in the keycap world. Their name will be chosen and revealed before the auction). All proceeds to these auctions will be going to GH. One again. I will be taking no profit from this GB. At every step, I will tell you how much we've raised, how much each item costs, how much shipping is coming to. There will be no hidden numbers.
Sorry about the tdlr.
Now, on to the good stuff. For those who aren't familiar, SA profile is a classic. It's a high-profile keyset, with spherical depressions. The color scheme was chosen by popular vote in the IC subforum and is something I think most people can agree on as being different, but not outrageous.
We will be holding the following sets at the following price breaks. I encourage everyone to sign up as though we're already at the 25 person price break. I would rather us shoot for it, and cancel if it's too high, over having everyone holding back and we don't get our numbers because people are hesitant.

They had a good solution to the problems inherent with using SA profile caps, and we're taking their lead on it.
So, if I might borrow from their thread, here's a breakdown of how key profiles will look.
These are the profiles for SA from Signature Plastics
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-x6rTdVPb5nA/Udxqt0sipFI/AAAAAAAAEK4/DxuDPsZdD6M/w1358-h265-no/sa.png)
Here is how we are arranging these profiles on the keyboard:
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-hTx62yNtaFk/Ud2E-4KW0FI/AAAAAAAAEQI/EiL4rbeQVNY/w1358-h190-no/sa-mod.png)
And here's an example of how it'll look on a keyboard:
(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-bugEkHai_II/UeQdGCtYx_I/AAAAAAAAEWc/Rq4E70iEoDI/w875-h301-no/sa-on-filco.png)
I do not own these images, and I thank from the bottom of my heart who ever thought to make them.

I had a chance to try the Round 4 7-bit "Space Cadet" SA's at Keycon and they were FANTASTIC - and this is coming from someone who HATES high profile keycaps.
Post by: CalmB4tehPwn on Fri, 06 September 2013, 22:10:14
The submissions are coming through, and showing up in the summary of responses, but not in the response spreadsheet, which matches up orders to names and emails.
I'll take a minute and try and figure it out, but if you've got some advice, let me know.

Gotta put orders on hold for a second. Google docs is being a pain.
No probs, just get everything sorted before a Tsunami of Orders start flooding in 8) .

Sorted now, had to unlink and relink the response data a couple times but it appeared. No need for those who have ordered (all three of you), as I have your data currently. Enjoy!

Are all the arrow keys the same profile?
You know, I didn't even think about that, or specify to SP. I'm curious what they planned on doing without any guidance.
Also, I'm waiting for updated pricing for a Row2 ESC key to be included in the mods set, for 60% people
Post by: CalmB4tehPwn on Fri, 06 September 2013, 23:06:46
I can't say no. Any estimate on how long you want to take orders for?
I'm thinking I'll leave it open ended for now. Plan on closing it a week after we get 50 confirmed for alphas and mods. If it doesn't look like we're going to hit it, then I'll make the call, and leave it open for a week after I make the call.

The commando gb had two choices in two kits for the up arrow key.
Check out the commando gb and take a look at the row profiles for the arrows in the other kits in that gb. Compare the arrows in the standard kit, the upgrade kit 02, and the gamer kit.

Although personally I prefer low profile caps (ie. DSA profile), I think this would be a nice addition to my keycaps collection. If eventually the price end up in the acceptable range, I am in.
I would strongly encourage you to sign up for these if you like them. You can always drop out should the prices not reach your desired level. Problem is the prices will never go down if everyone were to sit and wait for it to drop before joining.

This set probably wouldn't fit a Poker II, or would it?
With the alphas + mods sets, it would fit a poker II just fine (with a bunch of extra keys left over, of course).
Post by: jonathanyu on Sat, 07 September 2013, 17:50:55
This set probably wouldn't fit a Poker II, or would it?It fits, but the profile of the keycaps are different from the stock keycap that on poker 2.

the keycaps in this group buy is SA profile( in hte middle in this picture)

Once again, since it's the weekend, we have to wait until monday to hear back from Melissa, but as I've said earlier in this thread, I am currently waiting to hear back. It will be added to the Modifier set, and shouldn't affect the price more than a dollar or so.

SP Only has one font they use, this will be done in the same font as all other SP products. If someone could post an example of some SP Keycaps so we can show what that font looks like, I would appreciate it.
I want to keep this GB open to orders until we hit 25 ErgoDox, assuming it continues to look like it's possible.
Here's up to date numbers
Base - 43
Modifiers - 41
Numpad - 21
Tsangan - 27
Ergodox - 12
ISO - 5
Gamer pack - 14
I think a couple more days and we can hit that 25 for ErgoDox. I know it's a huge price break, and a few people will drop out if we don't hit it.
And I also know that there aren't a lot of other ergodox options out there, because the numbers never get up there. So tell your friends, maybe sign up for a second set.
Hell, I'm probably going to sign up for a set, on the very off chance that I might get an ergodox down the line.

This set probably wouldn't fit a Poker II, or would it?
The commando GB just added a row 2 profiled escape key for 60% boards. Is that something we could do if there was enough interest?
Ohhhhhhh, that's what all that escape business was about? I was so confused during that whole conversation :blank:

The last picture where the spacebar looks different is actually the side view of the keyboard, so that would actually be your CTRL key, the other ones above it is the cross section from the spacebar, and its rounded like that

Do you just mean pcb-mount cherry stabilizers? I think all ducky boards use them.

I added an ergodox kit to your order, no need to worry.
Cant seems to fill out my address and stuff, the bar is too small.

I can go ahead and put you down for one, MOZ. We're at 46 right now, we'll definitely be hitting the 50 tier.
Not now, I'll let you know when since I'm still confused as I will be using this set on my Edox, and won't really require the mods set, just getting it for future if I use the set on some other layout. Thanks though.

Bloo wasn't my favorite color scheme but I just can't let the opportunity pass ;D
Now if there will be an escape key for 60% boards that would be really nice, but I think I could also somehow live without it.
I hope that an SA profile looks nice on such a small board :)

Yeah, I made my decision. Getting a custom legend done was more than I was looking to do for my first GB. If I'm missing out on some people joining up, well, oh well. Maybe if there's enough of a call I'll do a round 2 and do some fun stuff. It's just too late in the game now to go modifying 42 orders, and getting a quote for a custom legend.

Oh, yeah, Row 2 esc key is coming. Soon as I head back from Melissa, I'll have the price updated. And with your order that brings us to 47 for the Modifier set. Even if we didn't hit it at this point, the 3 sets I plan to purchase for future charity auctions would put us over 50.
Maybe I'll include ErgoDox in the three charity sets. It'll add a couple dollars to each order, but would help us hit 25, and make the charity sets significantly more desirable.

Technically, we could get everyone who is buying an ErgoDox kit to double their order for it. Then they'd be getting 2 and be paying about $10 more.
This. If it came to that, I'd be willing to pony up the few extra bucks.
The same could also be said about the NumPad, Tsangan, and ISO sets. The difference in price between 10 MOQ and 25 MOQ is *huge*.

You can't.
That's not quite true -- technically, if you ordered an ergodox kit and ten gamer sets (or five if you don't mind mixed color), you could cover the alphanumerics in (deep-dish R3) blanks. Maybe you could use some of the bottom-row keys from the ergodox set to have non-deep-dish f and j keys, to still have them feel different from the rest.
That might actually look really cool, and is actually somewhat tempting now that I think about it :blank:

Hmmm having all R3 would kinda defeat the purpose of getting an SA set though, still having all deep dish is tempting.
All of the alphas are already R3 in this GB! You'd only be losing the sculpting on the number row.
(I actually think a fully-R3 set would be kind of neat, like a better DSA).

In answer to the coming profile questions, we are doing this GB in the same profile summary as the Commando GB.
They had a good solution to the problems inherent with using SA profile caps, and we're taking their lead on it.
So, if I might borrow from their thread, here's a breakdown of how key profiles will look.

If you don't really need a 2nd set you should wait until the deadline approaches. If there is indeed no further interest you could still step in and help out. Don't get me wrong: I really appreciate your effort, but you shouldn't prematurely spend money on something you don't need ;)

Once closed, everyone will have two weeks to pay.

2 weeks sounds good. It depends how fast you are trying to make everything happen.

Would it be possible to add a couple 2x R2 keys to the Ergodox set? I'm not completely attached to this idea, but I thought having a couple angled keys for backspace and space would be nice.

Just found out I'll be in class starting the 16th. I'll have my phone for a hotspot and my wife's old crappy laptop and not a lot of time on my hands, but I should be able to still get invoices out. Just give me a couple days to get them all sorted out. And on the offchance my wife's laptop craps the bed on me, I'll let you guys know and have invoices out that weekend when I get back.
Also, Affect656, I'll be up in Yongsan if you want to link up at some point.
Got any MX boards beside blue, or Topre I could try out?

its a shame you are closing this so early, not everyone can recover their wallets so quickly after other group buys and purchases.

Yeah, I know. I'm not looking to put anybody out, but I don't want this to turn into one of those group buys that drags on forever either. 3 weeks from now payment will be due, and if that's too soon, then in the coming months I may be doing another SA GB. Maybe not this color scheme, but we'll get something rocking.
Oh, damnit.

Or you could pick up an ErgoDox PCB and part the rest of it yourself.
Either way, they will be more available as time goes by, so I wouldn't stress out over it.

Could you please edit the order form? For example you can use the multiple choice type (with other option for people want more than 5 sets) instead of choosing from a list as of now.

Broke 100 for Base and Mods
Broke 50 for numpad, tsangan and Gamer kit
And it looks like ErgoDox might JUST hit 50 before we're through here.
What do you guys think? Since I'll have trouble sending out invoices monday anyways, want to push the order close until next friday? The GB would be waiting on me anyways, so maybe we can snag a few extra ergo orders?

Ah actually it won't change anything of your spreadsheet format, just make it easier to order. You will still receive the number of orders as before.
If you want to test you can create another form and try different types on it to see if what I said is right or not.
I've had too many issues early in this GB getting the spreadsheet to work at all. I don't trust it enough right now to do any changes. If you have an order that requires more than 5 of any items, please PM or email me, and I'll update the spreadsheet manually.

I would be willing to help if its a small order. If you can't pay when the money is due I'll put down the money to get the order through. If you still want it, Michael can ship it to you and you can pay me for the order. If you decide you don't want it, I'm sure I can sell it back on the forums.

I'll pledge the balance of your order to Geekhack dependent on you making the GB, else I'll cover it.
Ergo, if you are still short on funds when it's time to pay up, I'll cover it.
If you are able to make the payment, I'll donate an equal amount to Geekhack.
Net, your order stays in the queue.

I would be willing to help if its a small order. If you can't pay when the money is due I'll put down the money to get the order through. If you still want it, Michael can ship it to you and you can pay me for the order. If you decide you don't want it, I'm sure I can sell it back on the forums.
I thought about making the same offer, but I wasn't sure how it was gonna go down and I'm hella new here. Also willing to help out. Financial hard times are the worst of hard times. <3
I'll pledge the balance of your order to Geekhack dependent on you making the GB, else I'll cover it.
Ergo, if you are still short on funds when it's time to pay up, I'll cover it.
If you are able to make the payment, I'll donate an equal amount to Geekhack.
Net, your order stays in the queue.

Shoot me a pm with your order. I'll enter it manually.

See, I like the deepdish homerow idea but I type in dvorak to neither the F, nor J are even _in_ the home row. Oh, this means the angles will be all wonky but I think it'll be alright.
At this rate MD will have another run about the time the keys physically arrive. Might work out for me.

I don't mind nay of the three for the winkey.
^This would be my vote as well.
Although I like "SUPER," I have a lot of winkeyless keyboards, so I may not even use this key. (Some extra 1u bottom row blanks would be nice, though!)
Post by: ___q on Mon, 16 September 2013, 08:18:29
There are a lot of people who signed up with WIN in the mocks, though, I would be a little worried about changing things from out under them.

Not a problem, but I'm heading off to work at the moment. I'll PM you or respond in the thread when your specific order has been updated, so you don't have to worry about it getting lost in the shuffle.
Also, I swear to God I'd emailed her about extended price breaks, but I just checked my sent box and there's nothing. So I emailed her for updated pricing on the Super mod, as well as price breaks past 100. Hopefully we'll hear back today, otherwise I know she'll respond first thing in the morning.

All of you guys have been updated accordingly. Please PM me if I forgot you, either here or in PM.

We broke 200 for the base set, and are almost there for mods.
We broke 100 numpad and tsangan sets.
Broke 75 for the gamer kit.

Yes. It's included in the modifier set, price has already been adjusted to reflect that.
Though I'm about to update the OP now with NEW PRICES WITH NEW PRICE BRACKETS
By the way, this is including both WIN and SUPER 1.25 keys.

Post by: CalmB4tehPwn on Tue, 17 September 2013, 06:34:23
We are 5 orders of ergodox away from the next price bracket, at roughly 7 dollar break.
If we added 5 orders of ergodox, which comes to about $130, and split it 40 ways, each ergodox would be spending under $3 additional, but get a $7 price break, so a net of 4 dollars off
Plus it gives me 5 ergodox sets to put up for charity auction.
So either way this goes, whether we get another 5 ergodox orders or not, Ergo will be getting a few dollars off.
Post by: MOZ on Tue, 17 September 2013, 06:38:23
And you can do the same for the ISO, and they would be saving about $2.5 at given scenario.
Calm, I would suggest that you can make such decisions yourself, since at the end of the day, the GB participants are saving money on their current order, and noone EVER has an issue with that.

That's assuming that no one that ordered a dox kit cancels...by the time you added kits enough to pad the dropouts, we'd probably not end up saving that much. Not against it, but don't want to be on the hook for the extra sets if dropped orders put us back under the 50 tier.

I used to use R4 (which is also SA) on a Filco, never had any issues.
The keycaps are all pretty tall, there should be plenty of room for stabilizer wires.
Post by: Tarzan on Tue, 17 September 2013, 14:12:12
Okay, NOW the OP shows pricing with SUPER keys.
At current price tiers, if someone was to buy one of each set, they'd get 201 keys and pay $143.24. That's a fantastic deal, in my opinion, for such a neat custom set.
If we hit the next tiers for ISO and ErgoDox, the total price for one of each set drops to $127.62.
I just ran the numbers on paper, so I could well be off by a bit, but I think it's an interesting factoid. ;D

major question, will the mods say enter or return for stock mods?
Oh, I hadn't noticed the conflicting mocks.
If I had to guess it would be 'return', that's what 23 commando says. No guarantee though, I would wait for calm.
Post by: CalmB4tehPwn on Thu, 19 September 2013, 20:42:51

For most everything, the second set of mockups that MOZ did (and not the original image at the top, which was only for color comparison) is true, but I'm going to overrule the Return key here, unless there is a large and upset mob regarding my decision.
I'm confused. :p Is there going to be an "Enter" or a "Return" key? Personally, I like Return better.

Second, don't worry about the price break. I'm adding a few bucks to every ergodox order to reach 50.
However many drop out on top of that, I will cover if it's not more than 2 or 3.
We'll get the 50 price break either way.

I have not tested how many keycap sets will fit in a small rate box, because I don't have enough keycap sets on hand. Chances are, if you're ordering even a full 104 key set, it wont fit in a small rate. If someone has some SA keycaps and a small rate box on hand, and can confirm this, I would appreciate it.
All of these apply to CONUS shipping, and that's what I'll be invoicing tonight.
1 base + 1 mod = $6 shipping (I think that'll fit small flat rate)
1 base + 1 ergo = $6
5 base + 5 mods (or more) = $14 shipping (medium flat rate)
anything in between that will be $10 shipping. I have to purchase the packaging and ship, and it should come out to around $10.
Additionally, I have decided to get TEN sets for charitable causes. 3 standard keyboard sets (one of everything but Ergodox) and 7 Ergodox sets (alphas/gamer kits and ergos). This will help us reach TWO new price points, Mods and Ergos. These costs will be split amongst the entire group buy, and will come out to $4.95 per person. All of these sets will be auctioned or sold with proceeds going to cover anything I lose out on shipping costs, with 100% of the rest being donated to GH.
Just to make this clear, by my doing this charity thing, and us getting the new tiers from it, most of you aren't paying an extra 5 dollars. Those of you with an Ergodox order are SAVING 2 dollars from my doing this charity. Those of you getting an ISO are SAVING 4 dollars. The charity is saving a third of this GB more money than it's costing them, and the rest of us can just suck it up. It's for a good cause.
In addition, I will be purchasing 2 ISO sets which will put us into the next ISO tier.
Any one person quitting can pull us out of the Ergo and ISO teirs, but I will be paying out of my own pocket to pick up the slack if it's not more than a couple people, though I will ask when the time comes, if anyone wants a last chance at getting one or two extra ergodox or ISO sets to keep us in the tier and do us all a favor. For now, though, don't worry about it.
So, for the vast majority of you, expect the cost of your order to be invoiced today + $10 for shipping (unless you bought a tkl set) + $5 for the GB
Thanks for participating! Let's make this a success together.

i applaud this effort and am looking forward to the invoice :)
hope i got my order right....any chance of it somewhere please? thanks :)
Post by: CalmB4tehPwn on Fri, 20 September 2013, 02:23:20
I hope there's not too many that aren't right, because that'll be a pain, but we can fix it if it's wrong.
Also, Skuko I've got you down for
1 Base set
1 Mod set
1 Tsangan and
1 Gamer kit.
I'm already about half way through the US orders (which make up about half of the orders total)
I'll be doing this by country, as I figure out shipping to each country.
If anything, I'll be overshooting shipping prices by a dollar or two to your country, because honestly I'd rather you get screwed out of 2 bucks, than I get screwed out of 280 bucks over 140 orders. That's the breaks. If I come out ahead for this buy, it's all going to GH.

Oh, and I forgot to mention, the 4.95 charity buy in is only a requirement if you're spending more than $50 in this GB. Most of you are, but the one or two that are just getting a couple Gamer kits aren't required to spend on the Charity buy.I was starting complaining but you read my mind :)
Post by: skuko on Fri, 20 September 2013, 03:18:34
In each invoice, I've taken the time to include what your order numbers were, so you can confirm on your side if it's right or not.

I'm going to take a break for a couple hours. I'm pretty wiped after that, and then start in on some of the other countries.
Thanks for the quick payment, guys. I can already tell it's going to be a bit of a nightmare tracking down who has paid and who hasn't, especially since a lot of the paypal info is in languages I don't read. So be patient with me as I get it all worked out, and if you have PAID, and I have you marked down as NOT PAID on post #3 on this thread, please PM me with your first and last name, as well as your paypal email address, so I can dig through my 140 orders and track it down. Chances are in the next couple weeks, I'm going to miss a couple payments, so PLEASE bear with me. And try to keep the PMs to me limited to vital communication, like if I've missed your payment.
Thanks, guys! Lets make this a damn successful first GB for me.

The hell is the shipping weight of 1 full set of SA keys?
Post by: CalmB4tehPwn on Fri, 20 September 2013, 04:40:29
This part will take a lot more math than CONUS shipping. At least Europe, and asia, and australia, all have almost the exact same shipping cost, and Canada is a bit cheaper for me.
I'll put through the canada invoices at least. I was hoping to get them all done today, but until someone logs in that can tell me the exact weight of 104 keys, there's not much I can do.
Post by: Elrick on Fri, 20 September 2013, 04:48:44
Okay, so shipping weight will be a big difference for international shipping. 1 pound shipping weight is about 17 dollars, 2 pounds is 25.
This part will take a lot more math than CONUS shipping. At least Europe, and asia, and australia, all have almost the exact same shipping cost, and Canada is a bit cheaper for me.
You should take a break now. Before everyone starts sending in the money then you'll get all the extra pressure as everyone expects their key-set to be delivered perfectly. Remember in the beginning everyone is cordial to one another but towards the end - it might resemble a blood bath if anything goes wrong.
Just make sure everything is accounted for and that you have a 'possible' PLAN-B worked out if anything goes horribly wrong. Group Buys are seldom without problems or delays but please make sure that everything has been worked out before hand.
Post by: CalmB4tehPwn on Fri, 20 September 2013, 04:50:22
Okay! An OEM TKL set weigh about 3.9 oz (according to my postal scale)
5 OEM keys weigh .2 oz
5 SA profile keys weigh .35 oz.
So!
An SA profile TKL set should weight about 6.825 oz.
A 104 set (with all the extra goodies that come with these various kits like Tsangan, ISO and gamer packs) should weight about the same as two TKL sets. So, shipping weight, with packaging, should be RIGHT AROUND 1 LB for the vast majority of these orders.
So, international shipping is going to be about $16, plus packaging costs. I gotta order some small boxes for this, tape, labels, insulation. So we'll say $20 for 1 set of keys. 2 sets will put us about $28. I'll figure out pricing for them large orders last.
If someone can still weight a 104 set, plus like 30 extra keys, and let me know how accurate my estimations are. I would appreciate it.

Elrick, you want to be an Aussie proxy? It'd probably save everyone some cash, yourself included.
Anyone want to step up as an Asia proxy?
EU?
Canada isn't that much more than CONUS, so I'm not worried about them.

I can do Asia and more if required, from me shipping pricing would be (Same worldwide):
$9 for one set
$14 for two sets

I can do CONUS, and Canada, as well as the especially large orders, if you want to take AUS, Asia, and EU. There's probably 50 orders total that falls under those areas, but can get you a specific number if you'd like.

Is it possible to have our orders sent directly? I'd rather just pay the extra for shipping, rather than use a proxy.
Yeah, if you're good paying more and cutting out the middle man, I can always ship directly.

I only mean that I can let you know exactly how many orders would be going through you, if we do it this way. I just haven't done the math up.

Sure no worries. Anything to help out :thumb: . But since there are not too many here who have ordered from Australia, it may be a very low amount hence cheaper if everyone paid you extra for shipping to their front door, rather than shipping it all to my place here in Perth, WA.

Oh, it's only four. I totally thought it was more.
Well, I'm going to assume people will want the cheaper option, which is to proxy to MOZ. So I'll give people 24 hours to mention here in the thread, or in PM to me that they opt NOT to proxy.
In 24 hours I'll send out the international invoices, with shipping prices reflected from MOZ, plus a couple dollars to get everything to MOZ.

Nah, they'll be packaged, labelled and ready to ship. You'll just have to take it to the post office.
Please don't decide how to ship my order yet. I may change the order and the address later...
I kind of need to know before I invoice you, Jil. Do you want to just be invoiced for getting shipped straight to you, that way you can change the address if you need to?

Nah, man. Don't worry about it.
I know people generally check their email before GH, so don't stress over it. It'll just make it easier if the info is in paypal.
This way, I have to click onto the details of every order, to get your email address. Ctrl+F to find it in the google doc spreadsheet, and Ctrl+F to find it in the OP to update paid.

So if I don't update the paid list, don't freak out. It'll get updated when it starts becoming important.You may need to mark orders as "Shipped" in Paypal, to avoid getting your account locked up. I know some other GBs I've been part of have done this, not sure if there's a specific volume of orders or dollar amount that triggers this.
Apologies if this has already been covered!

hey calm, any rough estimate for the EU invoices please? :)
no pressure, just curious, take your time :thumb:
Yep. BunnyLake has stepped up to proxy for EU orders, so 1 keycap set will sit at about 7.50 shipping from him. Plus 2 to get all the orders to him, plus another 3 for packaging materials. 13.50 for EU orders, or 19.00 USD if you have 3 or more.
For Asia, it'll be 15.00 for 1 set, 21.00 USD for 2 or more.
Please PM me if you would like to NOT go through a proxy, so I can keep everyone separate. For those placing large orders, of 3 or more keycap sets, I plan to ship straight to you, and not through a proxy.
I haven't got an invoice yet... Did you say you sent out the Canadian invoices?
I have not. I wanted to get everything square before I moved forward. The vast majority of invoices should go out today, with any stragglers coming out tomorrow (if I get burnt out)
If you're in the US, however, and you didn't get an invoice. Please PM me.

You know, a thought just occurred to me. Since I'm doing auctions to donate to GH at the end of all of this, and we're going to end up with a good amount of Ergodox kits. I wonder if I can put together a complete Ergodox to auction off. I might just have sourced a case. If someone wants to donate a PCB, that would be outstanding. Or some switches other than black (Which is what I would be able to provide.)

No worries. Worst case scenario, I'll pick up a set from Mech keyboards. Though if I'm supplying the switches AND pcb, you best believe I'm taking it for a test drive for a few days. Maybe I'll end up bidding on it, too!

Post by: CalmB4tehPwn on Sun, 22 September 2013, 07:14:56
I received the invoice, but won't pay, as I will be proxying for Asia, there will be some sum that you will have to pay me, so we can do the math and see who has to pay who, that way we don't end up paying PayPal twice.
My order total is $69.42
Also, I don't think I need to pay $9 on my order, to proxy to myself :P
I'll cancel your invoice entirely. I wasn't thinking about it when I put it all together.

Hey CalmB4tehPwn, I've just received my invoice. I saw that you charged me $14 for EU shipping. I thought you said it would be cheaper if we use a proxy. Also you charged me $4.95 charity buy (???). This was not mentioned when I signed-up for this - I still cannot find a $5 charity charge. Is there a choice to opt-out?
he mentions in the OP from the start he would be adding a few bucks on to cover extra sets etc, this is always done one way or another in every group buy, some people do what is donehere and add it on after the price of sets, some people build it into the price of sets, this is for your protection, if one of your keys is damaged or missing, they are replaced from the extra sets, once all is said and done here, calm plans to auction off the extra sets left for charity, that is why the word charity is there
it is not fair to ask someone running a gb to buy these sets from their own pocket, he isnt running a business, he is just offering his time to facilitate this set happening

How about the EU shipping? is it $13.5? is it $14? According to this, it should be $13.5hey calm, any rough estimate for the EU invoices please? :)
no pressure, just curious, take your time :thumb:
Yep. BunnyLake has stepped up to proxy for EU orders, so 1 keycap set will sit at about 7.50 shipping from him. Plus 2 to get all the orders to him, plus another 3 for packaging materials. 13.50 for EU orders, or 19.00 USD if you have 3 or more.
For Asia, it'll be 15.00 for 1 set, 21.00 USD for 2 or more.
Please PM me if you would like to NOT go through a proxy, so I can keep everyone separate. For those placing large orders, of 3 or more keycap sets, I plan to ship straight to you, and not through a proxy.I haven't got an invoice yet... Did you say you sent out the Canadian invoices?
I have not. I wanted to get everything square before I moved forward. The vast majority of invoices should go out today, with any stragglers coming out tomorrow (if I get burnt out)
If you're in the US, however, and you didn't get an invoice. Please PM me.

Bunny covered it while I was asleep.
EU came out to 13.5, and Asia came out to 14. I was pinched for time and decided to scrub the order list only so many times before I said screw it and charged a flat rate for EU/Asia/Australia. The flat rate was never more than .50 cents off the estimate, but it would have taken a significant amount of extra time on my part to try and reorganize the list to make it easy to get custom shipping quotes out.
Also, Bunny covered the charity buy in for me. Firstly, they're for covering asses. The charity buy got us into new price tiers, saving almost half the people in this buy either 7 or 9 dollars, depending on the order, and will give me extra keys to work with when sending out orders. If SP shorts us a couple keys, this way everyone still gets their orders.
And on top of that, we get to do something fun, and donate upwards of a thousand dollars to GH. Plus it gives me a means of covering my own ass if shipping charges turn out to be outrageous, which is actually pretty likely, from reading other GB threads.
I am not trying to gouge anyone, and I'm sorry for not updating the OP to make it clear. Sometimes when you're in the center of this whole thing, it's hard to recognize that there's people on the fringes, and I forgot there's people who haven't followed every post in this thread.
If, however, you would like a refund of 50 cents, I can cancel the payment and issue a specific invoice. It will have to wait, though, as I'm heading to class for four days starting... in like 20 minutes
Take care!
Michael

$14 is charged for shipping to Korea I live.
I understand you are stationed in Korea and domestic shipping fee would be charged.
Is international fee charged uniformly even for domestic, or is there something i didn't know?
Anyway, thank you for organizing this:)

Thank you!

Do your expected orders of gamer sets match up? If so, my order didn't get amended and while that's fine, I want to speak up in case "my" set got ordered and then you didn't know to bill/send it to me which would be silly for both of us.

Post by: CalmB4tehPwn on Sun, 22 September 2013, 22:59:00
I either amended it and just missed the gamer set when I invoiced, or I invoiced correctlt and made a typo when typing out the details, or I pmed you saying it was updated when I hadnt done it it.
I doubt its the last one.
I will check when I get home, and see if paypal matches what it should be, and see if my spreadsheet is wrong.
Worst case, I refund the paymeny and issue a new invoice. Not a big deal

Post by: CalmB4tehPwn on Mon, 23 September 2013, 15:04:00
Very keen to see how these turn out, just couldn't pull the trigger but I can tell I'm going to regret it later!
Don't worry, you've got charity auctions to look forward to!
Okay finally Paid Calm :p
Thanks!
Darn, I didn't get a chance to go through the invoices yesterday and check your order. Do you still want a gamer set, and is it important enough to you for me to go through the list and issue a new invoice?
Also, to everyone who has PMed, emailed, or posted here about an order change or an invoice issue, please be patient. I'm about to claw my eyes out over this class issue, they've got me going all over the penninsula because they can't figure out how to get students and instructor in the same building at the same time. I have not forgotten you, just hold tight. Also, please do not be alarmed that I haven't updated the Paid post in the OP. I've got your payments, if you sent it, and if you didn't include your GH handle, it's not a problem, just a bit of extra work on my part.
There is a good chance that I'm going to miss one. Period. When I update the "paid" portion, I will miss a payment or two, it's just the nature of the method I have to use. It's just not as clean and organized as I should have done this. Your payment didn't get lost, I've just got... a hundred and fifty of the damn things. So I ask for your patience, and if you did pay, and I don't update you to paid in post #3 with the rest of them later this week, send me a PM, with your first and last name, payment amount, and payment date. I'll double check paypal and update the OP.
Thanks for your patience. For the most part this is still going smooth, it's just invoices are a pain when you're managing this many. There's no easy way for me to track anything, at least not anymore, now that I'm knees deep in it.
Also, we've had a few cancel on us. 1 was an ergodox order, but we've had two last minute or lost ergodox orders to make up for that, so the numbers are still looking good, so long as the rest of the invoices get paid.
Otherwise I'll be buying a couple ergodox kits for myself.

Post by: CalmB4tehPwn on Tue, 24 September 2013, 08:09:23
I THINK I've got everyone's modifications done.
If your invoice is still wrong, and you haven't heard from me or received a new one, please PM me as soon as possible so we can get it sorted.
If you posted in the thread, and you don't know for a fact if I've got your sorted, PM me and I'll get you sorted.
If you cancelled your order, I probably failed to PM you back and confirm your cancellation, but I've updated my spreadsheet, and the OP. If you have cancelled, and see a Pending, or nothing, by your name in the OP. Please PM me so I can get you sorted.
If you have paid, and the OP does not have anything by your name, please be patient. This is not a quick process.
If you have paid, and the OP says "Pending" by your name, please PM me. Chances are we had an invoice issue, and the first invoice didn't get cancelled, and I haven't made it through the list to your second, correct and paid invoice. Not a big deal. We'll get you sorted.
We've had a few cancels, but for the most part we're not losing out on much, at least not tier wise. I think we've lost two ISO sets, which hurts, and one Ergodox, which I know I can sell, so I'll just buy it up. Was thinking about it anyways. Maybe I'll build an Ergodox.
Anyways, if anyone wants to donate a few dollars to help ease the ISO pain, let me know. Otherwise we are still very much on track.
Most of the bigger orders (10+ keysets) changed one way or the other (almost all of them adding to their orders) and so the numbers in the OP are no longer accurate. I will have to get new numbers for the actual SP order off of paypal itself, which is another hour or so of clicking through paypal I have to look forward to. Thank GOD I had the forethought to put order details in the notes, which I can mouse over from the history page.
Now, next week I will be going through and marking all PAID invoices as "Shipped" because paypal gets wonky if you take too long to ship a product. This does not mean you cannot dispute a charge or demand a refund, it just keeps paypal from making complaints when I sit on your order for a month and a half waiting and sorting.
Please let me know as soon as you can if you have any problems, concerns, or gripes. I'm all ears, and though I was getting frustrated and overwhelmed when I saw that I have 3 pages of PMs to go through half an hour ago, it turns out most of them were people apologizing for not adding their name to their invoice. We're going pretty damn smooth. I just keep making the admin side more difficult by not putting your username in the original invoice. That would have saved me so much time.
Learning!

So, thanks for all your help. Paypal is already being the tiniest bit wonky because Just this morning the money came out for the first, as-it-turn-out-incorrect bill. So I'm going to wait for Paypal to to catch up before paying the corrected invoice.
Partly because tomorrow is payday and it would be much nicer on my account if I don't risk paypal catching up in the wrong order! But I do have the corrected invoice sitting in my inbox with the amount I expected.
No problem. To be explicitly clear, the intent was for payment to be 2 weeks from the date you were invoiced, so no matter if I got your invoice out the first day, or 2 days later, you still had 2 weeks from then to pay. But it's clear this wont work, because of invoicing issues, if I, say, didn't get a new invoice out to you until today, we can't wait on just you to use all your payment time.
So, that being said, to ensure everyone gets time to pay, and sort out their 1st of the month paycheck, payment will be due on
OCT 4th, at midnight, GH time
I've got no problem working with you if you have a special circumstance. Cover you until you can work out the money. We can sort that out, but it'll have to be a specific circumstance. I don't want 10 people to PM me asking to cover them until they can get paid. I can't insure that many people.
Post by: CalmB4tehPwn on Tue, 24 September 2013, 16:40:16
Calm, did you already received my payment ?
Yeah, I've got you.
Let me reiterate, since I've gotten a good number of these PMs.
I have gotten a very lot of payments. Chances are like 99.9% that if you paid, your payment is among those. I have not had a chance to go through all of these payments and update the OP, so just because it's blank by your name doesn't mean I didn't get your money, it just means I haven't gotten to you yet. I'm working on it, and I'll have it updated either by, or over the weekend. If at THAT point you're showing up unpaid, then please PM me so we can sort it out.
Thanks

If you remembered, to knew, to include it, great. If you didn't know, don't worry about it. I still got your payment, I've still got your email in the details of the payment, and I've still got your GH id linked to your paypal account in the google docs. It's not a big deal, don't stress out over it, just be patient as I update the OP with paid orders. If, when I say the OP is updated, and it's wrong at that point, then shoot me a PM.
Until then, don't worry.

If there is anything wrong with post #3 regarding your order. Please do not post it here, please PM me. We will get this sorted.
Plus, once I sat down and get working, most of the invoices were sent in order, and most of you have your names listed in the google doc. It wasn't too hard to figure out.
Thanks, guys! We're nearing the home stretch, let's knock this one out of the park (not to mix metaphors or anything.)

That leaves me with $90 in keys that I will never use or be able to sell. This is still the most viable option, because eating the charges for a lower MOQ would be $8.47 x 17 keys, which is significantly worse.
Now, I still plan on buying these 8 sets, but I'm already buying 6 ergodox kits on top of the 5 from the charity buy in to hit that MOQ. The difference is I can warrant $120 on ErgoDox kits, that I know I can sell in the future. I cannot warrant $90 on top of that for ISO kits that I can't sell.
So, I'm asking for a couple heroes to step up and save my ass on losing out hard on this GB. I need a couple people to donate $10 or $20 to the cause. Just 2 or 3 people will help make it possible to explain this to my wife. Either way, I wont be going back and sending out new invoices to the ISO users, because that's not who I am. I set a price and I'm going to get you that price, even if it comes out on my side, but I'd like some help. And if you donate, and would like an ISO kit or two added to your buy in (maybe for trying to sell a set in the classifieds at a later date? Versatility?) I'll happily toss one in.
Thanks for all of your help this far, and hopefully a couple of your guys will step up to help out. I knew we expected 20% to drop out, but literally half the people to cancel were ISO buyers, so now we're hurting.

Just a quick note, you are advertising regular sized Shift and Enter keys in the OP but if you remember from R4, they don't have those sizes. Look at shots of R4 kits... Those keys are too small
I thought there was some fix to that solution, perhaps courtesy of the commando group buy?

Melissa has stated all keys are proper fits, starting with the commando group buy.
It's one of the major reasons I wanted to follow them on their profile setup, just to ensure we also got properly sized keys.
Got a few payments last night, moving to update OP.
Also, those of you who've donated $10, we've hit our ISO goal, and I thank you very much. On top of the ISO kit, you'll be getting additional goodies in your packages (most likely chainmaille bracelets, because that's what I have to offer)

Updated the OP. Everyone who is paid up is marked paid. I even put each invoice sent, to make sure they were still pending payment. If there is an issue with your payment status, PLEASE let me know. We were waiting for one check to clear, and one payment that I apparently missed. Both are updated.
I will be sending out payment reminders through paypal tomorrow. If you have no paid, expect an email.
The night of the 3rd, I will be sending PMs to anyone still pending. Don't take it personal.
If you have a special case, and need a couple days, and SWEAR TO GOD you will pay up, please PM me. We can work something out.
If you want to CANCEL and have decided not to PM me because you don't want to, PLEASE CANCEL YOUR INVOICE so I know not to expect payment from you.
If you cancel your invoice, I will mark you as cancelled. If there's a problem with your invoice, PM me, and don't cancel the invoice until I tell you to. Otherwise I might forget and mark you cancelled.
After all is said and done, I will be spending my saturday scrubbing the paid invoices against orders. If there is a problem with your invoice, and it doesn't match your order, and it's not fixed by friday night. I WILL BE CHANGING YOUR ORDER TO MATCH YOUR INVOICE.
I say again, if you paid for something you didn't order, or didn't pay for something you thought you ordered and DO NOT TELL ME AND GET A NEW INVOICE you will be receiving what is ON YOUR INVOICE.
There was one exception, Thebeargentile? You had two invoices sent out, with the same price, but the one you paid was missing an item in the invoice comment. I'm tracking that, what ever you're missing (I think it was tsangan, or something) I'll be following your GB Order, and not your invoice.
Anyone else, I'm not tracking it, so your GB order will be updated to reflect your invoice.
Don't raise issue with me if you swear to god you ordered something, but your invoice did not reflect it. You have three days to check your invoice and resolve your issue.
Thank you, guys. This really is turning into a smooth GB. I was worried with the rocky start, but now that I've got Paypal under control, and recognize where I've made extra paperwork for myself, this is going smoothly. A hiccup with the ISO orders, but thanks to those who stepped up to help on that side.
Keep an eye on the thread saturday. I may have a call for a couple extra ISO or a couple ErgoDox buyers. Depending on how many people pending payment don't pay up.
Thanks for sticking with it. I just emailed Melissa yesterday, she says Production time is about 4 weeks from receipt of payment, which should be Monday, assuming all the numbers match up once payments are complete, or we get people stepping up to help out for what ever sets we're missing (which SHOULDN'T be much at this point.)

On another note, if your name is Steven Ward, and you just paid your invoice, please PM me. I apparently sent you an invoice, but I cannot find your order in google docs, which means I have no way of matching your email to your GH handle. I'll have to re-enter your info manually, which isn't a problem, just shoot me a PM!
Everybody else, pay yo' ****.
We have had a couple ErgoDox drop out, if you'd like to add one to your order, please do. I will be buying any short of 50, because I know I can sell 'em, and having them on hand will most likely convince me to buy an ErgoDox. But there's still time to modify your order, if you want to tack on one.
I'd prefer to not make huge changes to orders, so it's easy to match invoices to google docs, but we can make it work.

Waiting right now for a final price from SP, which I will double check against my numbers, and then pay.
I had to add in my own funds for a few, but the Charity buy in came to
2 full keyboard sets (Alpha set, Mod set, Numpad, Tsangan, ISO and Gamer Pack)
and 4 Ergodox sets (2 with Alpha sets, and 2 with Deep Dish Gamer packs for alpha keys)
All of these 6 sets will be auctioned. They will first go to recouping any losses on my end (which may very well happen, seems we might have underestimated shipping from SP, given how much heavier SA caps are) and every cent past covering my own ass goes straight to GH!
On top of that, I bought 5 Ergodox kits for myself, all of them with blank Deep Dish caps, which ensured we got the 50 mark in Ergodox, as well as the 100 tier for the Gamer Pack, which will help to cover shipping from SP.
Once I pay (which should be within the next 24 hours) we wait 4 weeks for production, and then shipping, sorting, and sending back out to you guys.
2 months from now everyone should have keycaps in hand!
Here's the final numbers for the order:
Alpha set: 204
Modifier set: 181
Numpad set: 121
Tsangan: 104
Ergodox kit: 50
ISO set: 25
Gamer pack: 100
Now. We need to find an easy way for everyone to send me their shipping address.
This'll be messy, with 118 orders in, but we'll sort it out. Chances are I'll just post here next week for everyone to PM me with an accurate shipping address, and update it as I get them. Then, after most people have sent me them, go back and PM the stragglers.

You're on the home stretch buddy. Plus the comments here are ONLY interested suggestions and nothing more. Because no one's done a Group Buy themselves you will get every type of advice from what their Grand-mothers told them down to their local Grocer, letting you know how easy it can be done ??? .
Please don't take offense because ONLY the person running the Group Buy knows what needs to be done. In regards to finding out everyone's delivery address, no worries just send out an email/pm requesting that. I know you've got well over 180 customers here so that will become one of the major headaches matching every order up to the addresses coming into your pm box.
You can always ask Matt3o on how it was done, he's a good sort always willing to give valid advice relating to G.B.s

I'd argue that popping popcorn -is- making popcorn. To draw a distinction between the two, you would need to redefine what "Making popcorn" is, if it is not synonymous with "popping popcorn"

any news, michael? everything smooth?
Just nailing down specifics with Melissa. Making sure we aren't missing any keys in the order, and that the numbers all match up. Should have the order paid in full tomorrow or the day after. Unfortunately having email traffic from opposite sides of the globe is hindering us here.

Any 1800 users want to split the cost of adding appropriate "+" and "-" keys for the numpad? Should be around $110 total from what I talked with Melissa about. I can foot around 50% of the cost, but sharing the burden would be ideal. At a minimum we just get a 1x "+" and have the "-" in the wrong profile (I think some other keys will also be the wrong profile on 1800 layout, but currently there is no 1x +)
I might be willing to help with this, but I don't fully understand what you mean by the $110. Is that the price to include it in every order or just the few that would want it?
Post by: ___q on Wed, 09 October 2013, 00:15:50
EDIT: and I would also be interested in any further changes which improve 1800-compatibility, depending on how things work out.

I would chip in for the 1800 keys (really want to use these on one of those redline alu-skinned 1800 replicas).
EDIT: and I would also be interested in any further changes which improve 1800-compatibility, depending on how things work out.
Most definitely. I'll be in this if it HELPS to improve cap compatibility on our 1800's. Till now, this golden keyboard always gets ignored when it comes to a key-cap fitout, lets hope it finally gets noticed here.

Also, it didn't occur to me until yesterday, we didn't meet the MOQ for the modifier sets, which puts us at $34.28 per mod set, as opposed to 32.83, which is what I charged everybody for.
So now we're roughly $262 short. This wont prove to be a particularly large problem until we go to ship everything out. I didn't leave a lot of lee-way, as I only factored about 1.50 per order in the shipping from SP, so everyone should have paid almost exactly what it'll cost to actually get the items to them, except for the charity buy in.
Now, we will certainly get enough to recoup my losses from charity, but then, that's taking away from the amount that ends up going to GH.
So, if anyone wants to make a relatively large donation to the GB, you'll be directly boosting the amount GH gets after the auction. If you want to buy a significant amount of extra keysets, that's another way to boost this whole thing.
I don't have a good answer here, except to pull it from the charity buy in. I'm not going to go through and invoice 139 people for a buck fifty each, so unless someone has a very intensely brilliant plan, I'm out of ideas.
Also, don't forget the numpad comes with extra blank keycaps. But I'm biased on the matter, not having the board in question. So if you want to combine an effort and get a 1x + key added, cool. You can send it to me and I'll make sure melissa adds it to the numpad set.

That sucks!
I can't contribute that much in one shot but I'd be willing to split the cost between 4 people or more. Hopefully, at least 4 other people would want to split the $262.

So, if anyone wants to make a relatively large donation to the GB, you'll be directly boosting the amount GH gets after the auction. If you want to buy a significant amount of extra keysets, that's another way to boost this whole thing.
I don't have a good answer here, except to pull it from the charity buy in. I'm not going to go through and invoice 139 people for a buck fifty each, so unless someone has a very intensely brilliant plan, I'm out of ideas.
Also, don't forget the numpad comes with extra blank keycaps. But I'm biased on the matter, not having the board in question. So if you want to combine an effort and get a 1x + key added, cool. You can send it to me and I'll make sure melissa adds it to the numpad set.
That sucks!
I can't contribute that much in one shot but I'd be willing to split the cost between 4 people or more. Hopefully, at least 4 other people would want to split the $262.
I want to see this buy go off as planned. Put me down for at least part of the cost. I'm assuming this also includes the two G80-1800 keycaps mentioned above?

No worries count me in. Let's get this finished once and for all.

Also it was about $56 ($55.66 to be exact for 121 numpads) to add the 1x "+" key to the numpad for everyone, so I assume it'd be close to another $56 to add the appropriate "-" as well.
These are the following keys we would need to have an exact profile compatibility with Cherry 1800 layout probably totaling close to $400-500 to all numpads and mod kits
Row 2 - Delete, End, PgDn
Row 3 - 1x "+", "-"
Perhaps a "separate" group buy to just piggy back off the quantities of this one and ship with these keys? I can do it in a new thread to alleviate confusion and for more people to see it.

I'm in for an 1800 kit
If we're thinking of an extra kit, any chance I could ask for a Row 5 1x Enter key? ;D
I know, not a lot of people would ever use this, but the Marquardt keyboard has a really non-standard number pad.

Don't order 194 mods at $34.28 ($6650.32), it is $84 less to buy 200 at $32.83 ($6566). Unless fewer than 194 people actually paid.
Here's the final numbers for the order:
Modifier set: 181

i am going to need to cancel my order. Sorry guys.Calm already cancelled unpaid orders so fortunately for us this doesn't ( / shouldn't?) affect the numbers right now. But as he said elsewhere you gotta eat first. Try not to feel too envious when we start posting phone-photos of our colorful new keycap-equipped keyboards :)
Post by: CalmB4tehPwn on Wed, 09 October 2013, 18:47:55
So the final price came to $17,435.99.
I haven't gone through and tallied the shipping costs, but I'm estimating about $1500 for shipping total, which is roughly $10 per order, plus 5 large orders.
Now, we're about $450 short of that number. Most of that is the added 1x "+" and the Mod MOQ (at $110, and $262) but some of that is my forgetting to include a charge for shipping from SP to myself for about half the invoices (those following along will be able to decude that it's the first half, which was the US orders). Now again, I'm not going to go through and invoice everybody for a dollar, because that's insane, but if we got 8 people to tip in $25, you could keep me from getting yelled at by the missus.
I'm going to push ahead and pay, because as I said, I'll even up either way, after the Auction, but donating $25, or more, to the GB will make it much more likely that I'll be able to do more GBs in the future, as well as boost the total GH gets after the auctions.
If you would like to throw down $25, it will go towards the 1x "+" as well as our missing the MOQ.
And yes, Daniel. We're short 19 orders, not 6. Not reasonable to order a few extra sets, unfortunately.
Also, and this is important. We have come to a crossroads. Turns out I never told Melissa what profile we wanted for the Ergodox set. I thought I had told her all Row 3, but I hadn't. So if you want anything different, let your voice be heard now.
Tomorrow I will be paying for the invoices and confirming the order, so if you want to do a separate 1800 set, or have opinions on the Ergodox set, speak the hell up. Now is the time.

Same assumptions here. And in as well to help with the deficit, I think I said that already.
Post by: AKmalamute on Wed, 09 October 2013, 19:36:58
Ergodox - all row 3 sounds fine I never have strong opinions other than "sheesh I have to keep the blanks ordered by profile somehow?"
I wish I could order one of the un-ordered modsets but I have no Cherry kbds right now. I'd have to buy a TKL to justify it so it'd be $100+ out of my pocket for a backup keyboard !

We're missing mod sets? Instead of chipping in $25, why don't I just buy another mod set for myself? If that's OK with you Calm...

We're good on Ergodox, I put up the money to hit that MOQ, but we are 19 short on Mods.
If we can manage 19 extra mod orders, then that will work equally well. I figured it'd be easier to get 8 people to chip in $25, than have 19 people chip in $32, and still be down because of the numpad and shipping (which would come to about $200)
Also, I don't know where I fudged some numbers, Daniel is right, numpad addition comes to an extra $55, not an extra $110. But we're still over by the same amount. I'm at work, which hates PayPal, and today, Hotmail, but anyone that wants to chip in can gift me $25 through paypal, and include your GH name in the notes, and I'll make sure a bracelet or pair of earrings makes it your way.

IOW if everyone who isn't jockeying for your favor sends one $USD, you'd be about a third fixed up, right?
It's not exactly reasonable to expect everyone to even be checking the thread at this point, let alone go through the work of sending me a single dollar through paypal.
Lots of people are stepping up to help out, and if I'm still short on the other side, I'll just pull it from the auction money, if I can't sneak it past the missus.

This will make it easier for me to move forward with the purchase, as well as give you guys the opportunity to run a GB specifically for the 1800, so you can get an accurate set for it.
If Daniel, or anybody else wants to use the info from this GB for any sets in the future, feel free to. I'll tell Melissa that as well, as they're always concerned with stuff like that. I just can't hold up the purchase any further for this. Sorry, folks.
I'm still a bit short from the Modifier MOQ, and would appreciate a couple more donations to get us back on track, but I'm going to make the purchase as soon as possible, now.

Yeah, bunny contacted me asking if I thought it would help. An outstanding gesture from him, as always. This should definitely help recoup any losses, and keep us straight on track.
I'm not sure how much he'll be raising, so I don't want to rely on him entirely. If he raises more than we're short, I'll definitely only be accepting as much as we need from him. So the rest will go to the other causes.
I've also offered up some of my jewelry for his raffle as well, so keep an eye out for that. It's one of my favorite pieces.

Just letting everybody know, since Bunny has decided to help out I'm confident I'll have the $$ to ship these to you when the time comes, so I'm going ahead with the purchase, but without the 1x "+" key for the numpad.

I have been living with a back injury since my deployment to Iraq in '08, and very recently the injury has become unmanageable, leaving me unable to propery perform my duties in the Army. That said, my near future may be a mess. At some point within the next few months I will begin the process of ending my service to the military, and the first step of that process is to have a change of station to be located with a WTU (Warrior Transistion Unit) a unit set up for people like me, all of which are located within the US. This means that this time next month, I might be leaving Korea.
My biggest fear is to have been assured I have say, a month left in country and tell SP "Oh sure, I got plenty of time, send it through" and it ends up on a boat, instead of a plane, and I leave with all of our keycaps in limbo.
That being said, this is a pretty ****ty situation and I'm sorry. I did not expect to be processing out this early. So, until I'm certain I am either staying put, or get moved and have a new mailing address, I plan to tell SP to hold onto the package until I am sure of where it needs to go without ****ing everyone, include myself, over.
The other option here, is that we could send it to a reputable member of the community that is alright taking on the burden of shipping this GB.
Or, if someone in the Minnesota area would be willing to hold onto it, when I do make it stateside, when my wife comes to visit me at which ever post I end up at, could pick the boxes up and deliver them to me.
None of these options are great, but I will have more info on my circumstances in about 3-5 weeks, and it all depends on what they find, and what they say. That's about the time production should be completed, so hopefully I have a better answer for you than "I don't ****ing know"
I just realized. I could just ship it to my Wife.
Anyways. All of that bad news out of the way. This GB will be completed. We are on track, we've just got a delay potentially waiting down the line. Stick with me and everyone will be getting their keycaps. And I could see what it would cost to get SP to sort and ship, but that would be a bit of a nightmare, because they'd have to price every single order's shipping cost, which might differ from my shipping cost, and could end up with another big cost added onto what everyone has already done to help out.
Though maybe I could ask them to sort into three packages. One to MOZ, one to Bunny, and one to my wife. That way the only people held up are those in the states, but MOZ and Bunny would need to sort them into individual packages.
Alright, I'm going to tap out for the day. I'll update you as soon as I have anything for you.

Hey look after yourself first, okay. Hope your country looks after you especially since they caused all that suffering you've experience. Never let the bastards off the hook no matter what, they owe you now for what they've done to you, don't ever let them forget that.
I'm sure MOZ or Bunny would step in since these guys are the current "good guys" here on Geekhack and should be able to sort the stuff out.
Just let SP know where they'll need to ship all the key-caps once they're completed. Hope you get better over time, because your back is going to hurt for the rest of your life (speaking from experience).

I'm not a "reputable" member of the community but another option I can offer is to just send it to me and if it shows up before you leave we can sort and ship together, and if it doesn't I can undertake the task or from there forward it somewhere else? Just an option, not the best but possible.
Either way, you and I still gotta link up at some point before I leave, and I'll keep you in mind once I get a better idea of where I'll be once the caps are ready.

1. Get a standing desk, it's tough for the first couple of weeks but you adjust, it also helps keeping weight down.
1.1 Get a wireless headset to go with the standing desk, a proper digital one, I really like the logitech G930 but to each his own.
1.2 Get a good pair of indoor shoes to use while standing, my personal favorite is Crocks (look at what hospital staff that work on their feet all day wear, 90% wear Crocks even though they are fugly as ....)
2. Walk, every day take at least a 30 minute walk, wear good sneakers, this really helps a lot
3. If you like swimming it really helps, no breaststroke though.
Just an update here, everything is on track with one major exception.

So, until I'm certain I am either staying put, or get moved and have a new mailing address, I plan to tell SP to hold onto the package until I am sure of where it needs to go without ****ing everyone, include myself, over.
The other option here, is that we could send it to a reputable member of the community that is alright taking on the burden of shipping this GB.
Or, if someone in the Minnesota area would be willing to hold onto it, when I do make it stateside, when my wife comes to visit me at which ever post I end up at, could pick the boxes up and deliver them to me.
None of these options are great, but I will have more info on my circumstances in about 3-5 weeks, and it all depends on what they find, and what they say. That's about the time production should be completed, so hopefully I have a better answer for you than "I don't ****ing know"
I just realized. I could just ship it to my Wife.
Anyways. All of that bad news out of the way. This GB will be completed. We are on track, we've just got a delay potentially waiting down the line. Stick with me and everyone will be getting their keycaps. And I could see what it would cost to get SP to sort and ship, but that would be a bit of a nightmare, because they'd have to price every single order's shipping cost, which might differ from my shipping cost, and could end up with another big cost added onto what everyone has already done to help out.
Though maybe I could ask them to sort into three packages. One to MOZ, one to Bunny, and one to my wife. That way the only people held up are those in the states, but MOZ and Bunny would need to sort them into individual packages.
Alright, I'm going to tap out for the day. I'll update you as soon as I have anything for you.

Plenty of useless info about this group but in the recent podcast.
For those wondering what "useless info" was in the podcast. It was basically a recap of the end of thread. Here's another one in text:
Calm, the group buy organizer, was in Korea with US Military and was planning to have SP, the plastics maker doing the set for us, ship to the him on the base. Even though this adds time, it still only costs US shipping. However, Calm found out he was leaving abruptly due to medical issues. In his last posts he mentioned either having SP hang onto the set until he sorts his situation out or shipping them to his wife. (source) (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=48214.msg1096717#msg1096717)
He's been on the forum a few times since October but hasn't yet clarified where the caps are. An update's probably coming soon.
Post by: CalmB4tehPwn on Thu, 28 November 2013, 05:14:44
Let me make a few things clear, but I'll start with an apology. I stated from the very beginning that I would give you an update every single week until everyone had their caps, even if I had nothing to report except that I'm still alive. I have, however, not been on GH for the past couple weeks. Part of this is due to my work schedule kicking up, and part is due to my feeling guilty that I started this, and it's now in limbo. I am sorry, and I will move forward with weekly updates from here.
Speaking of which: Update!
I have requested an appointment with orthopedics, and am waiting for a phone call back for a date. Unfortunately army medicine is not fast, so we all have to wait together.
Once I have this appointment (which was originally scheduled for next week), I will have a better picture of what we need to do next. I haven't lined up anyone else taking over shipping quite yet, because I still don't know if that's entirely necessary. I don't want to make promises without incomplete information.
Additionally, I haven't heard from SP since I pushed the payment through. I'll email Melissa when I'm done with this update, asking for an update on progress.
I have had a number of volunteers, wishing to help, so no matter how this goes down, we will figure out a way to get everyone their caps. At the VERY worst case scenario, I am out of the Army this May, we just have SP hold on to it for six months, send it to Minnesota, and I knock it out there. If anyone stateside would like to volunteer to take over sorting and mailing entirely, we can talk about it and work something out. I have purchased 7 additional Ergodox kits, to reach our numbers, and we can work out getting you a set or two for your troubles. Before I agree to send it to anybody, I'll post it here in the forum to ensure nobody has any objections. I wont put a post limit or join date on it, but I will ask that you're a well known and active member of the community.
Thank you again, Nuke, you PMing me and pulling me out of me reverie. I hope everyone is doing well and has a happy thanksgiving. I'll update you all as soon as I have updates to give, and will definitely be checking in every week.

All the organisation of this GB is very clear and strictly run (some military service habits ? :p ) and the communication is near perfection. The only bad thing that Calm did was to share his logistic concern and asking some help to keep this alive. If he didn't revealed this information and turns the communication of the GB in the opaque way, nobody doubted about his trustfulness in the case that he solves it by himself. But if it goes wrong, everybody will complain about not telling us earlier some help : So IMHO what he does was the best reaction ever.
Sorry to ask but what's « derps » ? Is it slang ? I didn't find a translation.

I think if we want things to run smoothly and avoid our caps travelling twice around the world it would be a reasonable option. But then someone has to volunteer to do it.
Yeah I thought the "calm derps" was a bit out of line too.

In her case, actually, not a small one either.
As to the GB, I doubt the keys are made yet anyway. Though they should be really close to done.
Fair to middlin' chance I could proxy for folks on the I-5 corridor ... make a motorcycle trip of it on a dry day off*. Assuming SP is okay about splitting the "shipping" that early, and that yes indeed the keycaps are three hours north of me.
*Wait, what? Oh, n/m. Forgot where I lived.

Thanks for the update Calm. I would be glad to help people ship everything if your situation doesn't get better. I think there's a bunch of GHer's in the Silicon Valley and we could get a packing party together.
Totally down for a Santa Clara Valley sorting party if that'll help.

Let me get my appointment, and see what the verdict is. It sounds like as people are standing up to help, a six month wait is probably not the way this will go.
I'm a bit disappointed, as this will probably end up a burden on somebody else, which is the last thing I ever wanted, and I had so many ideas for sorting, and I was eager to try and put them into practice.

Thanks to Bunny for offering to help us all out.
Post by: Elrick on Fri, 29 November 2013, 05:15:27
It's distressing to hear my character was played upon in this podcast, but I can't control the breaks in this particular deal. Anyways, BunnyLake has volunteered his crew to step up and take over the shipping on this GB. I hate to put all of this on him and his people, but it's a better alternative than a 6 month wait.
That's Bunny for you, when you're down on your luck he steps up to help. Very decent individual, so don't worry about all this stuff and concentrate on getting better. Your health has to always come first :thumb: .

[...] Part of this is due to my work schedule kicking up, and part is due to my feeling guilty that I started this, and it's now in limbo. [...]
I feel like this statement takes balls to admit. Thanks Calm for being honest about your situation and your feelings. I imagine losing control of a GB must suck but its time like these, a post from you is extremely relieving... (not to mention that you are still alive and waiting to see a doctor instead of potentially dealing with chronic pain)
Post by: Halvar on Fri, 29 November 2013, 16:02:13
But also: a lot of respect to Calm for doing this GB in the first place, and coming forward so openly about these personal things so people could help find a good solution (if it should become necessary). Takes a lot more balls than e.g. shooting fast judgements with friends in a podcast.

Honestly, since I started this GB, and invested a significant amount of money into it. Plus, the fact that I have two project boards that I've made no progress on (despite having a whole set of brand new clears waiting for me to get busy with) I've found little interest in spending too much time on the forums. I can't afford to join any GBs besides my own, there's nothing I can afford on the classifieds that piques my interest. I can't spend all day looking at info and opinions on switches and keycap materials when I've either got it on the way, or couldn't afford to try anything new.
It's just frustrated to be so interested in Mech keyboards, but being unable to do much else beside dip my toe in this ocean.
I'm not going anywhere, that's not why I'm saying all of this, I'm just in a weird place in my life right now, and GH isn't an exception for me. I'm just losing interest in things.

I know that feel, my own GBs have been stalled due to real life issues, but stay on the forum and keep communicating. I have found that this community is very forgiving, and communication is essential, they understand when we the GB organisers run into roadblocks and things get delayed, just stay with them and give them updates, even if it is "Nothing new to say this week except that I am alive and this GB will be eventually be fulfilled".

Yep been there done that. You feel absolutely USELESS when stuck in that type of rut. But there is always a new day with opportunities presenting themselves to you. The trick is tuning in on them. I was arrogant as hell when I finished Uni all those years ago because when you get a degree you think you own the world but when you hit REALITY - walking the streets looking for work, it hits you harder than any drunk in a pub fight.
Just persist because something will always present itself, it might not be the optimum job with a huge pay-packet but it ties you over till you find another job and so-forth. Build up that resume and before long you'll get that job you've been wanting in the first place.

Haven't checked in on this thread for a while.

Kudos to you in handing this over to Bunny and kudos to him for stepping in.
Bunny's a good guy, and I know he'll take good care of the GB if we get there. I still want to hear from my doctor before any decisions are made, but if I hear from SP before I hear an answer, then I'll probably make the call at that point, and pass it off to Bunny. I'd rather feel guilty for putting the burden on him and his crew, then feel guilty for holding up product to hundreds of eager, waiting hands.
This isn't the first time he's stepped up to make sure this GB is a success, and you can bet that I'll be sticking around this community through the worst of it, if for no other reason than to find an opportunity to make it up to him.
Thanks for the support, in every way that you've given it. I'm glad to know that either way, this will still come out smoothly.
Hopefully I have another opportunity in the future to actually complete a group buy, if only to prove that I can do it.

Just a quick question about the modifiers in this set, since there is some conflicting data. The concept picture shows two Win keys plus a menu key, but the mods kit lists the following:Quote---- 1.25u Win
---- 1.25u Menu
---- 2x 1.25u Menu
Surely it wouldn't have only one Win key and three Menu keys? That leaves one naked Win switch and a couple extra menu keys floating around.

Well. That is... Wrong. It should be 2x 1.25u Win and 2x 1.25 Menu.
Unfortunately, you're the first ones to catch it, to include Moz, the deisgner, and myself, the approving authority.
SP is already deep into production, so there's no chance of changing the order now without extra cost, but with any luck they saw it was probably a mistake and corrected it (why would we list 1.25u Menu and 2x 1.25u Menu right next to eachother in the same order?) But there's also a decent chance that they'll just adhere to the letter what the order states and we might be making due with a Menu key on the right side.
It's personally not a problem for me, and I'll even give you my win key if it's that big of a problem for you (Though I can't offer that more than once!)

Just a quick question about the modifiers in this set, since there is some conflicting data. The concept picture shows two Win keys plus a menu key, but the mods kit lists the following:Quote---- 1.25u Win
---- 1.25u Menu
---- 2x 1.25u Menu

Ah, it will be interesting to see how it plays out. At the very least, there would be plenty of people interested in a Win key group buy. ;)

Well. That is... Wrong. It should be 2x 1.25u Win and 2x 1.25 Menu.Maybe it's a good idea to notify them anyway (in case you didn't do that already). We don't know where they are in production, there could still be a chance that they can correct it without too much effort. How much would it cost?

Oh, no. I've already sent up a flare for Melissa. Hopefully we'll see what she's got for us (Both a production summary, and an idea on what we can do to get a second Win key in the order)
I'll let you guys know as soon as I do.
Plus, my appointment is Friday. Hopefully it holds good news for me (which isn't good news for this GB, unless you consider it getting handed to Bunny and his team good news, which I suppose it is, because it'll ensure that the rest of this GB goes as smoothly as possible, whereas if it came to me, where I'm still evening out wrinkles and figuring out how this whole thing works. I mean, I'm not saying it'd be unsmooth, but I doubt I can compete with Bunny's operation.)

Hey just take it as it comes. Don't fret because BunnyLake has put his hand up (bless him) to take over and run this. Just don't know how exactly how it will effect his other Group Buys which he is currently running, but the guy is a hardcore professional and knows what to do (far more than you or I).
Just concentrate on getting better and working through all the issues that come your way. Not a lot of help gets handed over to returning service people these days but do know this, that everyone at Geekhack will support you in every way possible :thumb: .

The base mod set was always for 1x 1.25u Win and 1x 1.25u Menu keys. We added 2x 1.25u SUPER keys, and on our side, they got added as "MENU" keys accidentally.
Sorry about the confusion, and I hope having a single Win key isn't a disaster for everybody.
If it is, I guess we can discuss where to go from here.

So the order as it was submitted to SP had 1 Win key, 3 Menu keys, and no Super keys?
Post by: CalmB4tehPwn on Wed, 04 December 2013, 15:11:16
1x 1.25 Win key
1x 1.25 Menu key
2x 1.25 Super keys.
After MOZ and I talked about the design, that's what we came to the decision of. Neither of us really thought people would begrudge having 1 Win key instead of 2. And when I added the 2 Super keys to the list, I must have blanked and typed out Menu keys here in the GB thread.
Additionally, SP Quoted me at 2 weeks from product completion. They had a hold up with materials, people trying to charge something other than what they were quoted. Sounds like they got it squared away, though, and are nearly done.
Post by: nuclearsandwich on Wed, 04 December 2013, 15:38:42
No, the order as submitted (and currently in production) is
1x 1.25 Win key
1x 1.25 Menu key
2x 1.25 Super keys.
Sweet. Love me some super.
Post by: CalmB4tehPwn on Wed, 04 December 2013, 16:42:05
It seems a much better option than trying to fundraise to get another one added to the order.

If bunny takes over will I have to pay more for international shipping?
Do you normally in a ctrl alt group buy?
He has US shippers that normally handle US distribution.
I will assume the answer is no, unless you just want to.

Calm said that SP said that they will be done in 2 weeks a week ago. Translation: SP will most likely be finished with them next week.

My doctor wants me to go get acupuncture before he recommends a medboard. So I'm still in limbo out here.
Haven't heard of a final date from SP yet, but since SP and my Meboard date keeping getting pushed back, I'm almost certain that I'll be moving when it's set to come in.
So, that being said, I'm going to spend this week getting the shipping addresses straight, and sending PMs for confirmation when I have questions, then passing the whole thing over to Bunny and his team.
Thanks for sticking through on this ride, everyone will have their orders soon!

Thanks for your update Pwn. Did SP delay the date again? Really surprised/glad that you're getting acupuncture. I didn't know that US medical doctors are considering acupuncture as a valid alternative to painkillers.

Thanks for your update Pwn. Did SP delay the date again? Really surprised/glad that you're getting acupuncture. I didn't know that US medical doctors are considering acupuncture as a valid alternative to painkillers.
I had to go all acupuncture on my lower spine some years ago when I suffered an injury whilst at work and it worked better than being overdosed with painkillers. I found out that eventually over time like say 3 to 6 months the painkillers lose their potency and you will feel the pain even sharper than before - because the body requires a higher dosage to settle the same amount of pain.
After about a year and a half of acupuncture, the ligaments and filaments rebuild around the damage that has occurred, you feel a lot better rather than being a drug fiend, on the look out for another hit. When you're on a prolonged diet of painkillers all manner of serious problems start to affect you.
Better to man up and go the course with acupuncture..... asians had figured out that a few thousand years ago, hence stick with their knowledge and experience :thumb: .

PRODUCTION IS COMPLETE.
that being said, Bunny has asked to put shipping to his crew off until Jan 6th, so they can finish up the HyperFuse GB, and not get bogged down.
So, SP will be shipping the package to Bunny's US side guy in two and a half weeks. Sounds a lot better than 6 months, eh?
Once again, everyone give Bunny and his team a big round of applause, as they're the ones making this happen.

Oh yes, thank you for letting us all know what's happening with this. So glad it has all been finished, now comes the long wait till January 6th 2014 - but we're tough guys here who can wait that long 8) .
Looks like SP is really on the ball here getting through lots of orders before December 25th. Nice touch from these guys.
I hope you'll get some rest after running this GB, and thanks for being honest about your situation because all too frequently some here refuse to engage with their fellow GB participants. That leaves the ones who forked out the moolah, feeling less than confident about joining - but not you. You have been extremely informative and you keep letting us know what happening at every junction of this Group Buy.
You deserve some relaxation at your local strip club and enjoy what's left of 2013. Merry Christmas buddy :thumb: .

Welcome to Australian medical care wait times. Although I haven't been in a public hospital for years my place of work sends me to a private hospital for any repairs, hence it's always quick due to having me back making money for them as soon as possible.

She said these pictures are of the set they made for themselves for their records and future reference.
That being said, they're missing a page down because they made exactly as many as needed for the group buy, and had none left over for themselves. It is in the purchase, and was included in the order.
They also didn't keep a set of the gamer keys and ergodox kits for themselves because they're blank keys. They were included in the purchase and are in the order that's shipping.

Bloody beautiful stuff. I still think they would have looked better with my original white alphas though hahaha
Personally, I thought they looked best in beige, but hey, we aren't the crowd apparently.

Post by: tbc on Fri, 03 January 2014, 16:08:17
normally I totally hate legends, high profile keys, and colors (flat black blanks ftw) on my main board (and always will). But I would totally be willing to go the opposite way on a numpad and this set would have been spectacular for that. there are actual colors used without going overboard like miami does.
I did see this GB in the beginning, but the OP renders looked horrible. hopefully the numpad is sold separately for at least one of the two auction kits.

Don't worry the youngster's here can't believe their monitors as to how good they look, that's why when they receive them that will put them straight. Some here may even have forked out their money for the first time and don't know what to expect, all I know with every new Group Buy the results are always surprising and in a good way. SP are the BEST US manufacturers and they have nothing to be embarrassed about.
The SA Profiled caps are indeed the most beautiful to me because I have always loved big and meaty key-caps for any MX-based keyboard. Plus it's too nostalgic to ever ignore.
Can't wait to get mine, there's some Cherry and Filco boards itching for these :thumb: .

I am not doing this GB for profit. Period. I will be charging some extra on top of each order. 2 or 3 dollars, to cover in case shipping runs high, and to order a couple extra sets. These sets are not for me, they will be auctioned off after the GB is complete. My plan is to have three extra sets after all is said and done, and hold three auctions.
When is this auction taking place?
Post by: CalmB4tehPwn on Thu, 09 January 2014, 04:13:15
I will be posting on here a week prior to the auction taking place to announce when it will be.
Also, I have been scrubbing the paypal addresses against what was sent to me. Anyone who didn't give me an address in the order form, I am using your paypal address. 90% of people have the same address for both, but for those few people who have a different paypal address than the one given me, expect a PM tomorrow asking you to confirm the address you'd like this shipped to.
After tomorrow, once I've got the form looking nice and neat, I will officially be handing this over to Bunny. Feel free to respond to the PM tomorrow, and I'll update the form as I get them. If you have any specific questions about the GB as a whole, feel free to contact me, but if you have specific questions about shipping, like a shipping change, inform bunny.
If you know for a fact that you do not want me to use your Paypal address, and didn't mention so in your paypal order (like Plater did) then please PM me, so I can take care of it now, before it's an issue.
Anybody that just for the hell of it wants to double tap, feel free to PM me your address, and I'll happily double check it for you when I have time.
I'm sorry it's taking this long. It's a more involved process than I'd hoped. I just want to make sure it's done right, since it wasn't done right the first time, and we got a new platoon sgt that's not giving us much time to live our lives.
This will be complete this weekend.

Sorry to hear that. While you're waiting, take it easy and try to do a few things you enjoy - it's important to pay attention to the 'mental game' during these things.

As this is your first time in a Group Buy here on Geekhack, one BIG word you need to adjust to immediately is 'patience'. Because most GB's here take considerable time before you get to receive your paid for key-set.
So just keep the faith because with these guys, Calm and Bunny, they will not let you down :thumb: .

Also I don't recall if it was mentioned, but you showed the stepped caps lock with the iso set which had me paranoid at first, but the off-center stepped caps lock is definitely part of the modifier set.

Yep, I just saw that photo of the recently manufactured caps titled ISO and other bits, saw the stepped caps locks and got worried for a second.
It's all good, modifier set will still have the off center caps lock as I expected :)

Welcome to the real world of Government Involvement. They're happy to supply the bullets, guns, vehicles, transport to and from a war but forget you ever existed, once you're wounded and expelled.
That is why no one should risk their life for any regime in the 21st century, just not worth it at all. Funny how the world over they keep playing that same old "WWII hymns" when they decide on invading a place and making close comparisons. Yet after they get what they want everything just goes quiet......like an abandoned ghost town in the wild west.

so i have some good news and bad news
i have the sets im sending out on hand
here is a pic
(http://i.imgur.com/OsybojD.jpg)
the set came out nice
however
there is a pretty big problem with something pretty essential that should be in the mod kit that isnt, so i have shot a message to calm to get back to me next time he is online, we are gonna need to check his order to sp but basically more of the missing keys are gonna need to be made before this goes out
essentially all the off centre caps/ctrls have been made with the iso set not the mod set
there are 212 mods sets, and only 19 isos, so we are nearly 200 off centre ctrls short and the same again for the off centre caps
as soon as i can get an update on this and how we are gonna resolve it ill get back to you guys with the info and timeframe
Post by: input on Wed, 05 February 2014, 06:26:16
On the upside the caps look gorgeous will be worth the wait.
Post by: CalmB4tehPwn on Wed, 05 February 2014, 06:39:03
As I was still fairly new, I was taking advice from a few sources on what keys belong in which kit. When this GB started, it was brought to my attention that stepped capslock were excluded entirely, and we took steps to remediate that. I brought it up much earlier in this thread, stating that it was going into the ISO+ kit (kit 4), and I placed the order as such. When it was brought up again (as I had failed to update the OP), I then updated the OP incorrectly, placing it in the Modifier kit. This was an error on my part, and anyone who is short a stepped capslock, because they expected it in the Modifier kit, is short because of me.
So what we're going to do, is sell off the 9 ErgoDox kits that I purchased (half with alphas, and half with blank deep dish keys for the alpha keys) and put that money towards a new GB through SP for anyone that needs a stepped caps lock.
Don't be shy. If you bought this expecting one, speak up. If you don't care one way or the other, Bunny has no reason to hold on to your keyset, and can ship it to you. However, if you want a stepped caps, it'll be easiest for bunny (and the funding of the GB) to hold onto your order until the stepped caps come in. I'm sure SP can pump out a few keycaps to complete the set pretty quickly.
So speak now if you have an opinion on the matter. Bunny and I will do everything we can to get the keycap set that you want to you as quickly as we can get it to you.
Post by: BunnyLake on Wed, 05 February 2014, 06:45:54
Quick update. After checking the original order with SP, the fault lays with me, and not with SP.

just to clarify this, its not just the fact that its stepped, the only off centre variants are in the iso kit, so if you state you are happy without the stepped key, please be aware that also means off centre stem
i think what is best is im gonna message sp, and find out a quote and time frame to get this resolved and we will work from there
what i dont wanna be doing is shipping a percentage of orders, and not others and making this messier than it needs to be
hopefully we can find a quick and cost effective fix to this
Post by: jil_jil32 on Wed, 05 February 2014, 06:59:04
I agree that I should wait till you guys can get the off-center stem keys. It's really a big problem to me without those. Hope it could be fixed quickly.
Post by: CalmB4tehPwn on Wed, 05 February 2014, 07:10:35
To make things clear, Bunny is in charge of the GB now. Anything he says, goes. I am here to advise, and that was all I was trying to do in my last post. We are in communication and discussing the best way to handle this and move out so everyone gets what they expected.
I am sorry that my error has put another delay in this GB, but luckily my decision to put in for those extra ergodox kits are going to pay off.
It sounds like Bunny will be posting them in the classifieds, and they will ship with the rest of the orders when everything is together.
I had some fun auction scenarios planned, and if we can hold on to three of the sets, maybe I can still do them. But they're all being put up to help the completion of the GB.
In case anyone's wondering, I wanted to do 3 auctions. 1 auction to buy. 1 auction to buy for another of your choice (if you know somebody that's hurting for an ergo keycap set, you bid, and if you win, you decide who gets the keycaps aside from yourself) and 1 auction to buy for another, to be decided by the group after the auction is complete. We decide as a group who needs the third ergodox kit the most. Maybe have a separate competition where people who need the set post pictures of their ergodoxes with a mottled accumulation of keycaps, or a paragraph describing their circumstances and why it would help them.

The keys look really nice!
I agree that I should wait till you guys can get the off-center stem keys. It's really a big problem to me without those. Hope it could be fixed quickly.
Same here, I can wait till SP makes some off-center keys. Just let SP know as soon as possible.

the set came out nice
Damn right it did! Regardless of delays due to issues with the mod kit, people are going to be happy with this fine looking set :thumb:
Post by: BunnyLake on Wed, 05 February 2014, 07:40:49
just so everyone is clear i just wanna go ahead and put a few points out there
i didnt start this buy, and it isnt mine, that being said, i have stepped forward to help out and get this by back rolling due to calms unfortunate circumstances
the way i look at my objectives, is to be as efficient as possible, i think splitting orders into people who care and dont is gonna cause extra work and lead to possible mistakes, i also think it is key for later down the line to have a uniform set, you dont want sets coming up for resale with keys missing and them being declared or not and causing problems, i also dont want people saying they dont care and send it and then later deciding they want the cap
what i think is best is to get the set as advertised, so what i propose is this, we have the missing caps made and sent, and then send all the sets out complete as advertised together
sadly the down side to this is the delay it will cause, but i think any other option has more negatives
i am here to help and facilitate this buy as much as possible, but as it isnt my buy i cant make any further financial investment into it, i raised and donated several hundred for this buy as well as participated, but i do wanna make clear the financial possible shortcomings i cant cover as i would on a personal buy of mine, luckily as calm says, we have some extra stuff which we can use to make up the costs of the additional keys needed and to help towards some shipping
sorry for all the bad news, i was hoping this could be turned around quickly, but the set looks great in person, i will try and get some nice pics of all the kits for you guys soon, and itll be worth the wait

1 - For $N extra ship out 10-15+ sets with the existing off-center caps and ctrl keys. I'd personally pay an extra $10-15 to get it early. This could total up to $225+ dollars to help pay for the extra keys that need to be made.
2 - Since more keys need to be made anyways, now would be a great time to add on 1800 compatibility for the numpad which would be a row 3 1x "-" and 1x "+" keys and/or Row 1 (Insert, Home, and Page Up) plus row 2 (Delete, End, Page Down, Scroll Lock, and Pause). Looks like as few as two keys, or up to roughly ten depending on desired profile compatibility. I am not sure what profile we would want that strange row of Delete through Scroll Lock to be. Maybe SA profile isn't good for 1800 layouts *shrug*

I'd rather have the full correct set.
I can wait.
Post by: BunnyLake on Wed, 05 February 2014, 13:02:33
having gone over lots of options, what i come back to is just get the extra keys made, and send the sets out all correct and as advertised
this wasnt my buy and i need to minimise the workload on this as much as possible, we were hoping for just a quick turnaround on this to help everyone out
Post by: Wildcard on Wed, 05 February 2014, 13:06:49
Also I don't recall if it was mentioned, but you showed the stepped caps lock with the iso set which had me paranoid at first, but the off-center stepped caps lock is definitely part of the modifier set.
Ahh crap, seems like it was foreshadowing on my part. Glad to hear you guys are working through the issues regarding the stepped caps lock keys :)

yeah, because i didnt order this i was just going off the kits in the OP, apart from maybe the numpad kit i cant think of a stranger place for the off centre stuff to be
apparently somewhere in the thread its stated as being in the iso kit, but im sure nobody took that in when ordering, aand a set without off centre caps or ctrl for me is completely useless and im sure it is to the bulk of people in the buy
i could have just sent these sets out as i got them, done what i agreed to do which was ship these out and washed my hands of it, but i imagine i want what everybody wants, and that is for the set to be correct, it shouldnt take long to resolve this issue, and it will be better for everyone once it is fixed

what about orders that did not have modifier kits? Are you going to wait to ship those as well, or get them out when they are ready?
im gonna wait until everything is ready, and ship altogether
to be clear, we arent gonna be talking about a long wait here

Let's hope so.
I wouldn't mind donating a few € to help with the process, let us know if/when this is necessary.
basically i have been given whats left in the pot for the gb
im just going ahead and ordering the missing keys with sp, and will take that out of the pot, once we start working through the shipping money, as it gets close to running out, we have a few sets we can sell to try and cover the remaining balance, so hopefully nothing is needed, but if we do find we run short on funds for shipping, itll be towards the end
once again, im sorry for any inconvenience, this just fell in my lap and i can only work with what has been given to me
Post by: Halvar on Wed, 05 February 2014, 14:21:50

Yep. I showed the stepped caps with the ISO kit, originally. Then when I went to update the OP, put it in the wrong kit. We'll get it sorted, just a bit more patience is what the doctor's prescribed on this one.

What ever you think is fair and decent because Bunny we all trust that you will get everything sorted as best you can. Sorry for putting all the pressure upon you but you have a rep for getting things done. Hence that becomes your mills-stone around your neck to carry evermore :thumb: .
As usual BunnyLake, we are more than willing to wait for your excellent service in the key-cap business. Thank you for doing this, you didn't have to yet you stood up in a crowded room and took all the responsibility. Don't forget to ask for extra money because it's needed here, don't take any out of your own pocket for this, okay.

i will most likely be selling mine (don't know what i ordered exactly, but TKL is there at the very least) since i don't really fancy SA (too high for me - tested with the Filco spherical set). i'll decide when i receive it.
Don't worry about it, put it in the classifieds and it'll sell faster than a rat up a drain pipe :thumb: .
Post by: BunnyLake on Mon, 17 February 2014, 11:27:18
so we have been going back and fourth on how to sort this issue
what it comes down to, is in order to get the set as advertised its gonna cost 600 dollars, that is to replace the 2 keys in the main set that are in the iso set
that is the off centre stepped ctrl and caps lock
600 is basically 60% of the entire budget i have to complete this buy for calmb4, which leaves some issues
im not convinced if we go ahead and order the additional keys, we will have enough to then cover shipping the sets out even after we sell the leftovers
i would like to stress this is the stage i have taken on this buy in, and unlike the buys i start that i am responsible for financially, i simply cannot cover all of this one with my own money, i have already raised over $300 dollars for this buy, as well as donating my, and my teams time
i think what this comes down to is, if anyone would like to contribute to getting this buy out of the weeds, that would be great, what i am hoping for is between some donation, as well as the sale of the few extra sets there are, we can cover this 600, and get this set finally shipped out to everyone
i think if we cant accomplish the fix this way, we may have to look into having a form where people can opt in or out of the keys, to see whoo needs what and what numbers we really need, but as discussed earlier, i really think its a bad idea to have the set split up differently and having some complete and some not floating around
another alternative is to possible drop the off centre ctrl, however, just because this halves the amount of keys ordered, it doesnt half the price, but it would significantly reduce it
really im here to facilitate all this happening, but essentially, im just a buyer in this gb like everyone else, and just want the set to be correct
i would appreciate any and all feedback, im not gonna be on the forum very much this week due to some personal circumstances, but will stop in as much as i can as i would like to get this sorted sooner rather than later

Sorry for the inconvenience as I'm just starting out with keyboard collecting hehe.
its both the off centre stepped keys sir
if you dont know what they are they most likely wont affect you, but basically some people like a stepped key where the caps lock is and some keyboards are set up with the switch off centre for the caps lock so the stem therefore has to be off centre also for the set to be functional

There's no defect with the caps. Most modern keyboards are made with the caps lock key's switch centered, the same as the tab key above it. However some boards, particularly Cherry and Korean custom boards use an off-center caps lock key designed to have a stepped. For example this image has a stepped caps lock key (http://oi45.tinypic.com/25qc1hf.jpg).
The stepped keys allow those of us with boards that have off-center caps lock keys to use the set and future proof those that have bought the set but don't yet own a board that needs it. (It'll happen to you)

As someone who needs those stepped keys (especially the control, heh) but not the rest of the ISO kit, I'd be willing to put up $50 (perhaps more but that's the most I can do without running numbers) toward completing the set as intended.I'm so sorry bunny , but could we have a visual description of what is wrong with the caps and what it should normally look like ?

right but they are the only off centre keys, again, its not jsut that they are stepped, but for many people the set wont be functional without them as they dont make full touch off centre stemmed caps locks in sa, thank you very kindly for your offer sir

That being said, I am going to host a fundraiser in the next couple days, featuring my jewelry. Necklaces, Bracelets and earrings. My goal is to keep anybody from needing to donate straight into the GB, and instead, donate into the fundraiser for a chance at some nice gifts.
Bunny has taken over logistics, but the GB, and it's success, is still my responsibility, and I plan to see it through to the end, so give me a couple days to get some prizes together (Expect a good amount, and in several price categories)
Here's my question. I'm thinking of doing a 3 ticket system. Class 1-3. Class 1 tickets cost 5 dollars, and you have a chance to win one of 3 different earring sets valued at 30-40. Class 2 tickets are 10 dollars, and you have the chance at 3 different stainless steel/titanium bracelets, valued at 40-60 each. And finally, Class 3 tickets cost $15 each, and have a chance to win one of 3 sterling silver bracelets, valued at 90-150 each.
What do you think? Is this a better option than say, an auction? Give everyone a shot at getting something while still raising a good bit of cash in the mean time?
That way anyone who was looking at putting in 30 still can (100% of the proceeds going to Bunny to complete the GB) plus you can get something extra from it, and it encourages other people to put in.
And if anyone has anything they'd like to add to the raffle, or do an auction alongside it, we can take donations of that sort as well.

Don't worry about this, we all knew what we were getting into here and paying a little more moolah won't bankrupt anyone here. You don't need to worry about anything other than to get better and make sure that lousy government of yours pays you what you're owed.
Nothing to feel guilty about because we all appreciate the effort you went through in getting this done at SP and we are only now fiddling around in getting a couple keys done and that's all. No ones at fault here certainly not you, because you came into this as a complete newbie but came out as an honest individual who had done his best. We are all grateful that you did this and are glad to have you here on Geekhack keeping us all informed every step of the way. You can stand up proud compared to a few here who just disappear and fail to keep anyone informed in their Group Buys. You are certainly not one of those creeps. Maybe because of being in the military that highlights the honour we all have for you in doing your duty to the utmost of your abilities and that's all that can be expected.
Thanks for running this show, just sit back and take it easy, remember you need to get better and able to confront everyday life out in the cold harsh world of us civilians.

I think it's awesome that you're so committed to seeing this group buy through, Calm, but a raffle isn't necessary. In less than 24 hours half the needed money is already committed. I don't think anyone wants to see you throw a bunch of personal resources at this either; people make mistakes, and the point of a community is that we can share the burden.
Anyways, just my 2c ;)

Calm did quite a good job for this being his first group buy. And, let's be honest, anything with Bunny's name on it will get finished with flying colors.
I agree with everyone here though: You don't need to offer more stuff to us just to get this thing finished, Calm.
I can really say that I'm proud to be a part of this community, and people just come out of the woodworks to help when it's needed.
wow! 100$ thumbs up Sir!

Thanks bunny! And it's the least I could do since I feel like I've found a new home ever since I joined. (plus I'm also financially involved now due to all of the awesome group buys -_-)

Listen Calm, don't you dare, keep the money in your pocket because this is covered by us easily. Bad enough you risked your life in the service of your country that you think you need to owe us anything here on Geekhack. We are not that selfish nor nasty to insist you to hand over your own hard earned cash for this Group Buy.
It's basically us who owe you for keeping this world safe and secure, so no hand outs from your pay packet allowed here :thumb: .

Bunny, let us know how you want us to pay you so that we don't waste time on this. Paypal maybe?
EDIT: btw, if there is an extra alpha set available somewhere, I'd be most interested in getting it. Didn't realize at the time that all alphas were R3 and could actually adapt to any layout.

Damn Bunny, never bought an all blue and grey key-set before and this one really is NICE. Didn't I tell you that the SA profile is the number one sexiest profile to ever grace a keyboard.
It just makes the keyboard a lot more fun to type with. Plus it just looks so cool sitting on your desk as you walk away from it........
Just jelly of the ones getting their babies coming in, looks brilliant on their keyboards. Who would of thought just some plastic keys can transform the look and feel of a simple CherryMX board.

The colors are exactly what I expected them to be, so blue, so pretty. I'm finding it a little harder to type on a full SA board, the keys feel closer together than on Cherry profile. But given the difference I'm willing to admit I may need a little time to adapt.

Poor child, little does he know that there were more people who signed up for this than current Group Buys running :thumb: . Hence it means this Profile and Colour-way has struck a chord with people's interest. Of course you'll have moaners but that's life in general. You can't expect universal love for this but you definitely won't get any hate either.
Just waiting patiently for mine to turn up, because they will be framed beautifully into some choice Filco's. Thank you BunnyLake for making this happen buddy ;D .

As for the success of this group buy, it could have been the colorway, it could have been the profile, it could have been many things. In this case I'm guessing it was the color way that sold it. Commando only hit numbers in the upper 70s or 80s and different SA sets do better and others do worse than that. Bunny never released specific numbers on Penumbra, but I don't think it did as well as this set either.
My comment was just saying that I personally dislike the profile and commiserating with skuko over the profile because the colorway is great. I love seeing any group buy successful, regardless of the details and my own personal preferences. I fully acknowledged that some people love the profile. I don't get it, but everyone's tastes are different and I was glad to see the GB succeed.

i thin ka lot of the success of this buy had to do with the timing, SA was the hot word for a couple of months, and this snuck into the early part of that window perfectly
as for penumbra, it did about 150 sets, which i think did good considering it was launched in a sea of other SA buys at the time as well as sharing a buy period with round 5
my personal feelings on SA are it isnt for me, i think the quality is great and all, but its just not my thing, but i totally see why others like it
i guess i just fell into this trap myself but i think too many people associate thickness and quality being the same thing
the quality of these caps is no different from dcs or dsa, the moulds are different but the same material is used and the same standards are met, sa caps just happen to be thick
i like thick caps, but i dont like the height profile of SA, and i dont like a cap just because its thick
not trying to sway any opinions etc, everyone has different tastes, and i can certainly see why this style of cap hits home with many people

After using SA profile for a month now I can't go back to using the dreaded DCS rubbish ever again. That is why now I have to pull out of all DCS Group Buys because I'm not in love with them anymore.
For myself I found my sweetheart and it's BIG, large and very beautiful to me. Couldn't care less about any other adverse opinions because it's just that and nothing more. Sorry for those who seem to like DCS so much but your choice is rank and shouldn't be promoted in any way.
Even if this is the LAST SA profile ever made (which I know it isn't because Honeywell is still coming for me) I am content to never buy another key-set again, which means the moolah goes into other interests in my life which is wide and varied.
Life's too short to make apologies any more, about anything. Hence none shall be given 8) .

You better believe it. This key-set is only for those that appreciate BIG, overly shaped fingers that need something to hit hard when typing. If you're limp-wristed then look elsewhere these are not for you.

Hold on, SP is doing grab bags again? Do they list them on their site?
They sold out fairly quickly.

the quality of these caps is no different from dcs or dsa, the moulds are different but the same material is used and the same standards are met, sa caps just happen to be thick
i like thick caps, but i dont like the height profile of SA, and i dont like a cap just because its thick
not trying to sway any opinions etc, everyone has different tastes, and i can certainly see why this style of cap hits home with many people
After using SA profile for a month now I can't go back to using the dreaded DCS rubbish ever again. That is why now I have to pull out of all DCS Group Buys because I'm not in love with them anymore.
For myself I found my sweetheart and it's BIG, large and very beautiful to me. Couldn't care less about any other adverse opinions because it's just that and nothing more. Sorry for those who seem to like DCS so much but your choice is rank and shouldn't be promoted in any way.
Even if this is the LAST SA profile ever made (which I know it isn't because Honeywell is still coming for me) I am content to never buy another key-set again, which means the moolah goes into other interests in my life which is wide and varied.
Life's too short to make apologies any more, about anything. Hence none shall be given 8) .
I feel the same way. I like my keycaps how I like my women. Big, thick, and tall, with plenty of space to put my fingers on.

Geez, running the TOXIC behemoth, Geekhack Key EXTRAVAGANZA, PENUMBRA and RAINDROP (sorry if I missed any out) and you're also running this train as well.
I can't believe what you've done to yourself here. If everything goes to plan you actually might be the FIRST person to achieve the MOST amount of concurrent group buys running at the same time, here on Geekhack.
How do you do it BunnyLake without taking any extra pick-me ups (legal or illegal)?

If I'm not mistaken, you've lost money on pretty much every group buy. Giving us an easy way to repay all your hard work and everything you do for the entire GH community would be a welcomed opportunity.
Post by: BunnyLake on Tue, 01 April 2014, 18:33:11
BunnyLake -- after you've shipped everyone's sets, you should really list the Geek Hack key caps on your web site so that we can buy them. It would be a great way to make yourself whole and I know that the community would rally behind it.
If I'm not mistaken, you've lost money on pretty much every group buy. Giving us an easy way to repay all your hard work and everything you do for the entire GH community would be a welcomed opportunity.
ill just give any of the extra gh caps from this to people who want them, ive paid for them now so its cool
that being said, i am gonna be running a little fund raiser of sorts shortly to get a ctrlalt maker bot to be able to help with some community projects, so if anyone ever wants to give back, then will be the time

My set arrived and looks like all keys are present and accounted for as long as the numpad 9 and 6 are actually the same key. My only small gripe is the tsangan 1.75x shift is the wrong profile. Other than that the set looks awesome and I am excited to use it.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/nALjMo5.jpg)

that sucks about that shift, that means i cant use it with the layout i wanted to use it with, would look too funky.
commando didn't have that issue and obviously given there is a caps lock key it couldn't be a manufacturer limitation. not bunny's fault though, i guess I should just be happy to get the set in general.
----
one thing i notice about this set that is very obvious compared to commando is that commando has texture on almost all the keys except just a few where it was not possible and it calm depths and others like prenumbra do not have any texture, all the keys are slick. I'm sure the lack of texture makes a difference for some people, maybe even me. never heard this brought up or any reason given why commando has texture and all other SA sets even the Filco-run SP SA set is slick all over.

The commando set was textured even though it meant inconsistent finish across keys because the organizers felt that the texture added to the ruggedized, military grade style of the set. The other SA sets are gloss or semi-gloss because those are the only finishes available from SP for the entire keyboard in SA profile.

the fact that there is a caps lock, also 1.75 key, is the correct profile (row 3 spans 3 rows in this setup) means the shift could have been the correct profile, obviously something happened
Oh, yeah I was addressing your latter remark about the finish and not the profile disparity. That looks like a genuine mistake either when placing the order or filling it.

so the texturing is an option you can choose with sa
as for the shift key, im not sure what the deal is with that
i really cant use SA, so i didnt really use the set at all when i got it, what i did notice right away is a bunch of really odd things, keys that should be there that werent and keys that i cant imagine anyone wanting that were
i picked this buy up after production had finished, like all of you i was just someone who bought into it, i really have done my best to fix this up and get it into a usable set and we are now getting it out to people
the buy has already cost me a fair amount of personal money, and its gonna cost me more than i was given to ship this buy out
i think when calm started this buy he didnt realize it would get so big, on top of that, i think he was trying to take input form everyone and he just didnt have enough experience with both groupbuys as well as keyboard layouts, i dont think any of the errors with this set are intentional, and calm clearly put a ton of work into this, i think perhaps he just listened to and took advice from the wrong people during several stages of this gb
let me get these sets out, and in peoples hands, see what issues come up, if its just the 1.75 shift, ill get that fixed, ill just order them with whatever i next order from sp
again i wanna clarify, i think calm put a ton of work into this, some inexperience and bad advice have led to some issues, and im doing my best to work with what ive been left with, this was literally meant to take a few days of my time, the idea was to have it sent to us so we could quickly ship this over a couple of days, thats what i signed up for and took on, and its become a ton of work and is holding up other buys and projects we are working on, we are doing our best guys

Sorry for the bad lighting in the photo, I get back from work late.
I have to ask - what's with the blank keys on the home row? Are those the deep dish gamer keys?

They are the deep dish gamer keys. At the end of the ordering period, they were like 5-7 bucks for a set of 8. They do feel pretty deep compared to the regular flatter keys. Another user said he was using them because they reminded him of the home row on the Kinesis keyboards (I think, god it was a long time ago). So I went with his idea and got a set too. Feels really nice to anchor the fingers after typing words/sentences.

Yeah, I figured that's why they were the home row keys. I think I ordered a few for similar reasons. It's been too long ago for me to exactly remember why I ordered what I did :). It's just that with your photo, it was hard to tell if they were deep dish compared to the other keys. Thanks for the info.
Definitely looking forward to receiving my set.

Sorry for the crappy photo but my camera is real cheap and only comes with 7 megapixels. But I don't really think that the deep dish keys are that different from the regular ones. I feel as if the dish is only carved in by a couple of millimeters. When I'm looking at the keys, they really don't appear to be that different. But the couple of mm really do make a difference on tactility and my fingertips can definitely tell the difference.

I want to use it on my poker as well. But, if the profile was row 3, I probably wouldn't use it since it doesn't match the number row.
This sounds better and better.

If Paypal told you exactly 7 days then you won't hear anything from them until 7 to 8 days later. That's how they operate, never finish anything within any time period that's given, always on or later to the date that's mentioned.
They work just like a bank, only they aren't one......... ::)

the shipping hasnt stopped because of lack of funds
taking over this group buy put stress on him and i think if he did this he could recoup some cash for the people that actually want to see these keys sooner rather then later. I am sorry its taking longer than expected but if people are willing to throw cash his way, why not especially since its taking longer because of paypal being a bag of crap...
:confused:
so you think that your need to have these key caps so quickly, as if not everyone really wants their caps, is greater than bunnylake unfreezing his paypal? offering to throw more money at bunnylake to a separate account so that you can receive preferential treatment out in the open for everyone to see is a pretty **** move and i think bunnylake would rather speak for himself on how this is going to proceed.

Bunny will take extra payments for faster shipping, but the payments are at least a couple thousands dollars and they need to be routed through my paypal. Then I will forward the payment to Bunny. Let me know when you are ready to proceed.
I also know this Nigerian prince that would like to split his inheritance with you, but he will need your bank account numbers. Just send those to me, and I will forward them to the prince, who is a close friend of mine.

DAMN, it looks so nice in the Kmac mini, despite some saying that SA profiles are no good on smaller keyboards, how wrong they were. I'm typing in mine with the older Retro key-caps BUT these look so much better.
You also have the same colour case as mine, sweet aluminum silver.

yeah, it seems like the spacing between the spacebar and the alts on either side is slightly wonky. i didn't assemble it so i dont know if thats how it was designed or assembled, but it works fine so i'm not upset.
the only thing i think i might change about this seutp would be if i could get the F keys on the left to match the row profile. i've thought about trying to get round4 blanks that would match.

Don't worry it's just my stupid sense of proportions that bug me so. As long as it works nicely for you then it's the keyboard for you. I always liked the Kmac mini and having the F keys on the left side, seems much more appropriate than having them placed up above everything else.
The Kmac mini is the perfect internet keyboard, small enough to use all the keys without requiring any FN initiation. I always hated using two keys pressed at the same time to get something to work. Besides it's even better than a HHKB calculator.

I don't have that board personally, but at first glance it looks like you have a 7x spacebar, right? Have you tried a setup with 1.5 1 1.5 7 1.5 sized keys? I'm guessing that that might be causing the gap, and what looks like a gap on the left and right sides as well.

Let the guy finish his studies but your statement has me wondering Bunny, has ctrl/alt bought out EK and you will soon be running that retail outlet yourself?
Or have you decided to finally make a better keyboard to house your own key-caps from mulitple Group Buys?
Or did you make a deal with some huge conglomerate to distribute all your wares cheaply across all continents, everywhere?

The cyan letter aren't as flashy as on screen. For me it's a good surprise since it fits nicely with 7bit's SPH. So thank you too Calm, I hope you're fine.
Sorry no picture, I need to buy a new Li-ion battery for my Lumix. :(

Anyone have an extra ergodox set they'd like to get rid of ? ;)
I'm pretty sure I have at least one awaiting shipping (I'm in the US), and no use for it as I've sold all my ErgoDox bits. However, I don't think we should ask Bunnylake to split orders, best to hold off until deliveries arrive.

YES, wait for yours to be delivered first. I'm in now way ever giving up on my Calm Depths, in fact you will have to prize them from my dead lifeless hands when it comes to separating me from this key-set.
I'm no traitor for giving up on this and will never be one. Just urgently waiting for the Mrs to phone me when my BunnyLake package finally arrives :thumb: .

That's totally unfair to you and the [Ctrl]Alt team. I understand that since your team has the sets now you'll catch the frustration of folks who don't have it yet. But you shouldn't take the fall. Especially with all the other hell you're catching right now. I'll send you a PM with some thoughts.

Aside from the issues with my math that I brought up as soon as people paid, I didn't drop a decimal point or anything, so I don't know how we ended so very far off the mark, even after multiple cash raising events.

I'm really glad things have worked out and that I'm in a position where I can help make this an eventual, if not timely, success.
And for those who have their sets already.
Where are the pics?
Post by: CalmB4tehPwn on Tue, 03 June 2014, 09:01:55
In fact, when the order was placed, we defined the row in question as the 'shift row' so all shift keys should have come out the other end the same.
If there is a discrepancy, SP should put out keys to cover.

I love keyboards, but I am.still new, and with that comes excitement. I saw a lack of sa profiles, and as bunny said, I pushed hard and we were among the first to fill that gap. A large part of the crazy success on this gb was the fact that the color scheme was crowdsourced
Every one of you had the same attachment that I had. We were all partially responsible for the way it turned out and it was the set that spoke the the largest.percentage of us. So even those of us who didn't get the set they wanted, still felt an attachment. And people.definitely stepped up in joining this buy. It was too big of a project for me, nd I turned to people for advice on keysets and profiles and texture, and not all of that advice was sound. I don't blame anyone for bad advice, because that's not how I operate. We wouldn't have a keyset at all if I didn't get that help, but some mistakes were made because I'm just too fresh to the keyboard world and my excitement made this a quick process, not a patient.one. my eagerness to get it.produced caused errors and ultimately added to the need for patience from everyone else. I have learned an insane amount from setting up this group buy, a.d getting it through production. My errors held experiences for me, but I think for the foreseeable future, I'll be leaving this to the pros. Maybe one day I'll start over and head up a gb with a 30 man cap to ensure I don't get overwhelmed. And I'll definitely be waiting until I'm on my new house. But for now, bunny and hit team are.obviously the guys who should be doing keycap sets. They've got the process down to science.
Thank you everyone for supporting a newbie through trials and.errors, and being an environment where even after I made this long and.difficult, that I felt comfortable returning to.
I don't know how active I'll be in the future. I tried to get a taste of keyboards and bit off more than I can chew. I'll probably be scaling back to a nominal involvement.
I hope we can close out this gb and move on. I'm glad we came this far, but I'm definitely ready to push through this and put it behind us.

Don't leave us now Buddy. Everyone makes mistakes, and we grow as a community and individuals through it. Look how many people have come together to make sure this works, and even before, to create the design. This is one of the most advanced communities I have ever been a part of in terms of community involvement, and help.

Thanks for the support, as always. Simply being out of the military and in an organization that legitimately values me and my input has taken so much stress off of me, my health has already begun to improve. It's been an insane ride for the last month, and I could not have been more fortunate. I've been hired into a position I don't actually meet the qualifications for, and that's insane considering how hard it is to get a job these days. I'll be around, and you'll see a nice small group buy from me at some point.
Remember Dunning-Kruger effect and Imposter syndrome play a huge role in how we view ourselves. I'm so glad you're doing better Calm and that you've found a place you can grow and learn in. That's the smurfing dream right there. <3

Nobody is.blaming you, Moz. As I said, we never would have made it this far without some of your input. There was some confusion over which keys belong in which set, but the financial miscalculations and other downfalls are on me

Hence relax and take a chill tablet with a bottle of Bundie, then sit down and enjoy because the caps will arrive eventually to your front door.

raccoon is a GH user called theflyingraccoon. He does the US shipping for CtrlAltStore, Bunny's GB service. I can't answer the other questions definitively, but I do know that the people involved here are not slacking and are working to get your order shipped. :) I'm also waiting, but these things take time. You'll get your caps soon enough! :D

All I can add is that imagine if you were in Raccoon's shoes meaning you have got (don't know exactly how many orders) say 300 individual orders to sort and post. Hence how long would it take you to do it?
Once you start walking in their shoes all of a sudden it isn't easy anymore to do something like this when you get constant questions asking "where are my key-sets" being thrown at you every single day. Not only will the pressure start mounting but don't forget you are also doing the sorting and posting FOR FREE meaning no one is paying you to do all of this in the first place. Plus you still have to go to REAL work and also school, doing assignments, studying and sitting tests, shopping, paying bills and accomplish everything else as well.
That is why it's easy for the rest of us in comfort to start whining and complaining that we haven't seen our paid for key-sets have a little compassion, for the single person doing all this work on his own, with no help from anyone else out there.

And that's why trust is a very valuable commodity in GB circles. Also why I have said nothing. Me buying by proxy because I missed the original buying period makes it even more lame, since I haven't even paid anything yet. I'm just sitting tight and waiting for the US orders to get shipped out so the extensive forwarding process can start.

Maybe we group-buy organizers should go on strike until we can form a union.
... of course ... some one will have to be in charge of the union-dues. Sounds like a lot of hassle to me; count me out, I get nervous enough handling random mook's money.

Sure enough it came in from Nathan, aka The Flying Raccoon :thumb: . This is my 3rd set of SA Profiles and I feel like some kind of Virgin, ready for some rough action....... 8)
Have already placed some into my G80-1800 GON-made keyboard and it simply is too beautiful to behold (mrs doesn't know about this one). He installed Clears with Vintage Browns and it's like typing on firm clouds (way better than any thorpie junk).
BunnyLake and Co you have delivered the perfect CalmDepths Key-set into my home. I wish SP could of made some Cherry Caps-locks to go with these but I am too happy in seeing and using what I have already. So glad that at least these came into Convict Town unmolested (very rare but it will happen sometimes) ;D .

I hate to ask again and again.
But I really want to know when or any schedule to deliver Asia orders?
Is this GB over than one year?
asia is shipping from the US and they have started going out
i know everyone is fed up
believe me, i am too, i shipped all my orders out long ago, but a lot of the delays are not jsut that the US proxy is busy, the keysets were sent to us in an unusable state, we had to order more keys just to make the keyset usable, we also didnt have nearly enough money to ship the buy, we have only just got all this on track so it is now moving out
everything will get out, its just taking some time
Post by: BunnyLake on Mon, 14 July 2014, 19:36:52
to add to the colossal ball ache this has been, because these orders werent on our site, the US proxy sorta lost track of where he was in shipping, and has accidentally sent out 15 orders that were already sent
apart from the fact this is gonna cost a ton of money to fix, i understand its also an inconvenience for everyone who received a second set
if you are one of the people who got a second package (they are starting to show up) please pm me so we can work something out about either getting them back to us or forwarding them along to somewhere else
its gonna be a bit of a logistical nightmare but im working on it
on a side note, there are also about 50 other order which are about to show up to people that havent already got there order
so thumbs up for that

If you happened to have sent a SECOND set to me, I fear I will be engulfed in Blue and Grey for years to come. I shall send the second package back to you pronto (if) when it arrives. I know the personal cost of spending money on items you can't afford hence I won't be ripping you off here when it comes to this.
It will ultimately come down to personnel character if you decide to do what's right instead of stealing from someone that has done their best to deliver a Group Buy, set up by some outside stranger. Remember Bunny and his crew didn't have to do this yet it seems this venture has cost him personally beyond what anyone else has ever expected. I'm sure Geekhack isn't filled with money grubbing, scumbags only interested in themselves and they will all return the extra sets if it was delivered to their front doors.
Courtesy and respect is something BunnyLake and his Crew deserve due to all the hard work they put into this and didn't make any profit out of it for themselves. Maybe they represent the true meaning of Geekhack, getting out key-sets to everyone all over the world no matter the cost to themselves - especially the time and effort it took.

These were a limited run thing; if you conveniently "keep" the extra, you're stealing from a fellow GH'r like yourself who will now never get their caps because you "didn't see them".
But as Elrick points out, we've got a pretty good crew, by and large, here an GH.

I got my set of the blue and grey yesterday (in Virginia, which has a certain topical synchronicity). Beautiful. Typing on them now, on a Ducky Pro, and it's pure bliss.
Thanks so much to everyone who pitched in to make this GB a reality!
For some reason, I thought this GB was for a 60/75% keyboard, so no number pad. Which is why I wasn't surprised to get no number pad.
But there is a numpad kit in the total package, right? I see images of it on the first page of the thread. I got two sets of assorted blanks, probably the ErgoDox kits, so I was able to piece together enough caps for the number pad, and three (?) ISO kits.
Anyone want to trade? Or am I just out of luck? I could have sworn I ordered one of every option, as I usually do.

I want to pay for re-routing 5 of those 15 orders (maybe more if it's cheaper than I'm anticipating). Whatever additional costs may be incurred due to the error. I know that might not be a whole lot, but it would at least help take the burden off you guys. Let me know how much that amounts to, please.
I'm down to take another 5. Just let me know how best to do so Mr. Bunny.

you can sell you set once you receive it, as far as refunds go, you arent purchasing something from a shop, calm facilitated collecting money to purchase sets as a group and that has been done, so your money was spent to do that, so that money is now gone, and in its place is a keyset, im sorry you dont have your set yet, you could have had it ages ago, but we were sent the sets incomplete with missing keys, myself and others spent time and money so you could have a working set, so this has caused a delay, sets are moving now and will conclude once raccoon gets back home as he is out of town right now

Yeah, man, I'm sorry you're upset. Waiting sucks sometimes. This is how it is with most group buys. I remember waiting so long for R3 (or was it 4?) that I totally forgot what I ordered. The wait for the GH60 has been forever. That's just the way these things work. There are almost always unexpected events, delays, etc bc most of these are run by normal folks and don't have the backing of a company with a bunch of backup people and resources.

If any help is needed with shipping these sets from or in the United States, I can help out. I have the time, dedication, and shipping know how to get the last of these shipments out to their buyer. I am confident that various members here can vouch for my integrity and reliability.
I'm tired of waiting and I am tired of other people having to wait. This is getting ridiculous.
raccoon is back now we are working on it, we are now just working on getting the double shipments back from people so we can conclude shipping
this isnt late because of lack of effort, it was missing keys, and then we didnt have enough money to ship it, myself and calm together have now put enough money in to conclude shipping, and the person with the sets was out of town for a month
he is back now, and this will be going out, this has been a nightmare for me and im not getting anything out of it
if you would like to pay to ship the remaining orders yourself, you are welcome to
Post by: BunnyLake on Thu, 28 August 2014, 18:55:24
calm put together this buy, when putting together the kits he took some advice from someone who made several mistake, and calm being new to the keyboard world, through no fault of his own didnt spot them
due to personal circumstances, calm couldnt conclude the buy, the sets were made, but stuck at SP in limbo
i agreed to step in and help, under the impression the sets were ready to go, we had an order list and the money to ship them
when the sets arrived, we realised there were missing keys and things in the wrong kit
myself and others raised the funds to produce the keys needed, and i paid myself to have a gh key made to match the set for every order
this took some time
once we had those keys, we began shipping, due to several large overseas orders, the money we were given for shipping ran out fast
i started to subsidize the cost of shipping this buy myself
when we took this buy on, we allotted some time for it, based around our schedule, that time long since expired and we were busy with our own projects and out of money to ship this
me and calm spoke and he kindly added some of his own funds to continue shipping
another 50 orders were sent
sadly due to a mistake our end, dealing with the spreadsheet we were given and not our usual system, raccoon mistakenly shipped 15 orders that had already been sent
as this happened, raccoon was out of town, for an unknown length of time
i didnt want the additional orders being shipped back to his house whilst he wasnt there
he is back now, and as soon as he arrived home, i posted in this thread for the double orders to contact me so we could continue shipping

So, do I read that correctly, that we're down to just those 15 folks who haven't gotten their set?
no
that is not correct
we sent a run of 50 orders out before raccoon went away, and 15 of those were duplicate orders
if i had to put a figure on it, id say that we have roughly 50 sets left to go, we will get all orders out that we have the keys for very soon, and we will turn around the duplicate orders as soon as we get them back

If any help is needed with shipping these sets from or in the United States, I can help out. I have the time, dedication, and shipping know how to get the last of these shipments out to their buyer. I am confident that various members here can vouch for my integrity and reliability.
I'm tired of waiting and I am tired of other people having to wait. This is getting ridiculous.
raccoon is back now we are working on it, we are now just working on getting the double shipments back from people so we can conclude shipping
this isnt late because of lack of effort, it was missing keys, and then we didnt have enough money to ship it, myself and calm together have now put enough money in to conclude shipping, and the person with the sets was out of town for a month
he is back now, and this will be going out, this has been a nightmare for me and im not getting anything out of it
if you would like to pay to ship the remaining orders yourself, you are welcome to
Ok, thanks for the response. I would only pay to ship if they were in my possession, as I know that I would get them out in a timely manner and make sure they are correct.

almost all the remaining orders will be sent this weekend
minus the double order issues, which we are working on getting sent back

still waiting on round 2 :P
How quaint. An uncomfortable number of us are waiting on round 1.
Having said that, I wouldn't mind seeing this in, say DSA profile. Then my 40% for-the-laptop would be still small, and look cool, while my stainless steel ergodox would be color coordinated and stately to type upon.
Pretty sure my AbuStudios PCB is in ... no sign of my keysets yet. *crosses*fingers* soon, though...

ok
i managed to speak to raccoon today, he is getting better from his stay in hospital
and we have set out a full roadmap to completely clear everything
im sorry if not everyone is happy with the order this is happening in, but we have laid stuff out like this to make sure we get things out as best as possible, without making deadlines we cant keep, that being said, this is a forecast, so it may deviate slightly, but me and raccoon spent a long time discussing timelines and make almost worst case scenario projections
so
there are 10 nostalgia orders left to send, these will be going out today september 25th
all raindrop non cable orders will have gone out by october 3rd
most of what is left of calm depths will be out by october 3rd (minus the double orders which i can now sort out as raccoon is home)
so, by october 3rd, a little over a week from now, we will conclude nostalgia, all of calm depths than we can do, and every raindrop non cable order
after this
penumbra cable orders will go out, this will be done by october 10th
so by october 10th we will have penumbra and nostalgia behind us, as well has almost all of calm depths concluded, or potentially all of calm depths if the kits come back in time
after october 10th, all that will be left is raindrop cables and toxic, now, instead of planning these out, we just spoke roughly, the plan is, on october 10th i will hook up with raccoon again, and lay out a plan for these in much the same way we did with everything else listed above
the rough guide is we will have the raindrop cable orders shipped by around the 20th, so that we are then only left with toxic with raccoon, again as a rough guide i would suggest non cable toxic will take a week, then cable toxic will take 10 - 14 days after
thank you to everyone who has shown support and patience over this bottleneck period

you can get away with a lot of *****ing and moaning about groupbuys, but Bunny has to be the most transparent and responsive GB runner on the site and he LITERALLY laid out a timeline for this buy just above. you're not going to find any support from anyone here trying to dump on bunny just in general and especially not in this context.

you think so?
some other country's people sell their calm depth keycaps in our country.
and raindrop keycaps are sold in techkey. before we received.
i don't know where you live in.
but, no one in our country people who participated in ctrl alt groupbuy think like you.
i know, some groupbuy takes so long time.
but, this situation is not so good as you feel.
and you have to know, running gb is not sacrifice.
ps.
actually, i'm not good at english.
so, i'm not sure a nuance of whate you wrote to me.
there's a big happenning in our country.
you know, about dsa dolch.
and some gb what i participated in geekhack got some problem.
so, my money is just gone.

i understood you well enough, and i got hosed on dolch dsa too. i just don't think it justifies giving bunny a hard time. this isn't even his GB. he took it over to help the community. i'm mostly just suggesting that perhaps you should show some more respect to bunny and his team. they're doing their best and being very transparent about it. which is more, in my experience, than can be said about a lot of group buys in the past.
I know, i'm so agressive. sorry about that.
and running GB is not easy. i know this too.
but, if you know what is meaning of part in GB, you can understand me.

Hi Bunny,

I believe Bunny is implementing a system where you can view your order at ctrlalt.io in the foreseeable future, not sure of timeline though... but don't quote me on that, just rumors.

if there's delay, gb runners have to tell us about reason.
and tell us about next schedule.
i think it's right thing.
am i wierd?
actually, i pm to tym about refund.
because, i cant trust this gb anymore, and GB's merit is already gone.
no answer for 2days.
this delay is not my fault at all
and there's no merit as GB.
i can't trust this GB any more too.
need some more reason?
i want to shipping
or
refund
or
at least fast response.
Post by: LechnerDE on Thu, 23 October 2014, 07:22:13
Don't forget that Bunnylake wasn't the GB starter and volunteered to finish this mess. Without him people would probably never get their sets in the first place. Yes, there are still people who didn't receive their sets yet. As far as I know this was caused by a shipping mistake (some people got their sets twice and had to ship one back).
Of course all these problems are not your fault, but after waiting so Long, waiting a little longer won't make a difference in my opinion.
By requesting a refund now you are only hurting the guy who is not responsible for all the problems of this GB. Bunnylake promised to finish this so please have some faith :thumb:
Post by: lewi on Thu, 23 October 2014, 07:55:46
you are so good man.
but, this is something wierd.
all ctrl alt's gb never shipped to my country.
raindrop (valentine) <- confused- and this one.
and delay so many times.
i never seen managing like this in any field.
our country, promise is so important.
GB runner's never managing like this.
except jackass who is runner of dsa dolch.
Post by: LechnerDE on Thu, 23 October 2014, 08:05:10
The valentine set wasn't run by CTRL ALT but by jil_jil32 so maybe you should ask him about an update.
I am sorry that you made bad experiences with GBs, but you have to keep in mind that it is almost guaranteed that you'll have to wait a long period of time :thumb:

i like to modifing, but u already pointed it.

i cant refund you for this set because you never paid me for this set
i cant ship your order on this set because im not shipping the rest of the orders

i have no idea what you are talking about
i have done everything i can on this gb
i committed to shipping the eu sets, which has been done, with the exception of one package that didnt show up, which admittedly still needs to be sorted
there are still some orders that need to be sent from the US proxy, and he is working on getting those out
this gb has nothing to do with me, other than it was in tatters, and has cost a fortune to set right, im not responsible for the US proxies schedule, i do all i can to offer support and set a schedule with him, im not sure what else you want me to do

Post by: BunnyLake on Thu, 23 October 2014, 09:00:43
thats no excuse, but it is what it is
but this is where this stands and whats left of my involvement
i had nothing to do with this gb
i then agreed to ship the UK/EU orders
then, the OP couldnt commit to any of it because of work and health reasons, so myself and raccoon agreed to ship this out
we were under the impression it was all ready to ship, so made time in our schedule to do it
then the sets came, they were wrong, had keys in the wrong sets, and totally missing keys altogether
myself, and with the donations of a couple of others, paid to have the missing keys made
once these were made, we werent given nearly enough money to ship this gb, i added funds towards the shipping when i could
later, the op also add some funds, and with that, plus further help from me, we have enough funds to ship the gb
i shipped all the sets i agreed to ship
raccoon shipped about half his orders, then he went away from town for a while, when he got back, he continued shipping, but had forgotten about the sets he sent before he left, as this wasnt our gb, and wasnt in our system, he jsut had a document of orders
and this is where we kind of sit
this gb is nothing to do with ctrl alt, i have shipped what i agreed to do
my only part in this now, is that im contributing some funds to make sure this reaches its conclusion, all that is really needed now is time on raccoons part, which is something that is at a premium right now
for everyone patiently waiting, i appreciate it, but we are at a point where there is little to nothing i can do, its in raccoons hands, and aside from offering him any support he needs, thats where it is, i do my best to chase this stuff up, and juggle it with ctrl alt stuff

What area of the country does Raccoon live in? I've been travelling quite a bit and I'm wondering if I could stop by and help him finish this up. I already received mine, but just want to help if I can.
i believe raccoon is in texas
ive been told he has someone to help him now
i made a post in my subforum
but basically what we are doing now together is a weekly check in, every sunday night we are gonna talk, starting this sunday, so we can plan each week ahead so we can get everything behind us and move forward
but i really appreciate the kind offer sir

Thanks for the heads up!
Just curious, and not to be rude, but why doesn't Raccoon stop here to give an update? Not trying to break balls, but some communication/transparency in where he stands would help those of us that haven't received our caps.
I know from experience, sometimes you have to commit yourself to a timeline to get a project done. Maybe a public announcement of who's owed what and shipping eta's would help to sort this out for good. We all want this over! :)
Thanks again for the communication, Bunny.

Thanks again for the communication, Bunny.
he just doesnt really come here anymore, his interests have changed since committing to this
i speak to him as regularly as i can and post constant updates when i do
i posted an eta about this, that i was given by raccoon, but he couldnt stick to it
i spoke with him sunday evening, and what we arranged was, instead of me having to chase him up all the time, that every sunday night, we will catch up with each other, we will go over whats been done that week, and make a plan for the following week, that is starting this sunday, so in 3 days time, the way we left it last we spoke was get as much done from the old schedule as he can this week, which included calm depths, ill find out on sunday whats been done etc, and make a plan for the following week, and update people accordingly
im doing all i can and being as communicative as possible on this, and will continue to do so

It's hard not to be angry at raccoon at this point not having this still. Sorry to say this but ugh it sucks.
perhaps in the meantime, you could use the keyset i purchased for you after you got let down in someone elses gb, and focus your anger at the person who let you down there, rather than the person who is trying to save someone elses gb (albeit slowly) given the mess it was left in

Bunny, could you let me know if I am on the list of duplicates that got shipped out? I still have not received mine and I live in Texas, just wondering now if I am even still on the list.
i dont have such a list
raccoon is working through orders now, anyone who ordered a set will get a set, so you have nothing to worry about, just a little patience, its nearly complete

Thanks for trying to make this happen, Bunny; you've been the only reliable person in this, but it looks like a bunch of clowns started this mess and don't know how to finish it. I'm sorry you have to pick up the pieces of irresponsible and unmotivated people.
Keep my money. Goodbye Geekhack.

This is ridiculous. 14 months and no keys.

Well,
Unfortunately I'm finding it harder and harder to find my way back to GeekHack. I know all of this fell apart, and half the people in the GB are still waiting, and we've all put more into this financially than anticipated (myself and Bunny particularly), but being called out as a clown every time I log in to see how things are coming along really makes it hard to convince myself to log in.
I don't know how people still stand on this, as we get further along and people become more sour on the GB as a whole, but I'd like to apologize again. I set this up with only the best intentions, and the plan to complete it myself, but as things became close to time for the keys to ship to me, it was made clear that my life was about to change drastically. Thanks to Bunny and his team, and an absurd amount of financial support from Bunny himself (which still has my incalculable thanks) we were able to see a light at the end of the tunnel. There's no reason to demonize him, or his team, or their efforts. Ultimately, no matter how hard it is for me to hear this, the fault lies with me. I started the GB, and no matter what else happens, I'm the responsible party. If Racoon and Bunny hadn't stepped up, EVERYONE'S keysets would still be sitting in a SP warehouse. Progress has been made, and we've closed in on that finish line because Bunny and Racoon have tried to cover the hole left by my needing to step away from the GB. Don't be upset with them that they can't focus 100% of their efforts on this GB. Be upset that I had to step away and drop it in their lap in the first place.
I know this GB feels cursed, and I know nobody thinks it'll ever reach a finish, but if we just hold out we might just be surprised in the end.
Hopefully Racoon can just push through and get this behind us and I can start showing my face again without feeling like I'm the pariah here. I want so badly to be an active member of this community, but I just feel like "That guy who ****ed up the GB and left us all hanging"

It may not be my fault, but this group buy is my responsibility. I started it, and anything that resulted was due in course to that action. It's not your fault either, nor is it raccoon's for getting saddled with this mess. Ultimately, I got into a group buy before I knew enough about keyboards and keysets to know the finer details, and so details were lost causing major holdups and money sinks. Which is my responsibility.

whatever happened man, that is in the past, the fast is, even with the issues, this should be out by now, we just need to get the last 20% out from the US, but im on it and ill restress the urgency to raccoon as soon as i can catch him next

because of whats going on and the delays and such going on right now, im gonna pay to have the remaining sets sent to either cody(havent spoken to him yet) or if not me, so we can get this gb out and behind us, this wont be instant, but itll be a faster and a more reliable solution, im really sorry for these delays, but we cant sit and wait on this any longer, some action needs to be taken, and regrettably, i see this as the best option
raccoon is very sorry this has taken so long, he has both school and a job he is doing each day, and he is really struggling for time

I think all the organizers so far have been pretty good with keeping everyone in the loop. My order is still outstanding but even if I did get it, I wouldn't know where to put my keycaps...

sooooooooooo
ill type this up once and post it in all relevent threads, so not everything in this post may be relevant to this thread directly, but will affect each thread
as most of you im sure are aware, this gb has been held up by raccoon having to clear the backlog, when he first committed to this, his schedule, both professionally and personally were very different, between his personal, work and educational ties, raccoon has been struggling to find time to commit to this, but had been doing his best as and when he could
regrettably because of the delays and his lack of time, we have taken the decision to restructure how each outstanding order will be shipped and who by
me and cody are gonna take on the bulk of what is left between us
its always hard when making decisions like this, raccoon committed to do it and plans were made around that, and i know he wanted to see it through to the end, however, it has become increasingly obvious over time that it is both unfair on your guys and overwhelming on him
so what we are gonna do moving forward is this
raccoon has the rest of the non cable raindrop orders packed but not shipped yet, he is gonna ship those shortly, and send myself and cody the end of calm depths and penumbra and a few other fiddly bits, whilst me and cody crank out calm and penumbra, he is gonna do his best to get the end of raindrop out, anything left of raindrop a the time me and cody finish calm and penumbra, will get sent to us, and we will conclude raindrop, whilst this is happening, raccoon will do his best to make a start on toxic, anything left of toxic by the time me and cody conclude raindrop, will be sent to us and we will get it cleared
after a lot of thought, this seems like the fasted and most practical solution to this problem, itll be a financial and time strain at this time of year for me personally, and something i wasnt expecting to take on, but ultimately, im committed to getting this sorted, and there comes a time where we have to draw a line and move on, and this is the best way to do that
i want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has been so patient and understanding so far, and will continue to be as we get the logistics of this new plan sorted, i really appreciate it, and to anyone who is disgruntled and unhappy with the delays, i hope this solution is helpful to you
Post by: BunnyLake on Sat, 15 November 2014, 06:50:35
Bunny: I got one of the duplicate sets, and if you provide me the address of the intended recipient I'd be more than happy to just send it myself. I don't know if that's easier for you.

This is just a thought but what if we just organize some big friggin party on a weekend where we can get some members from surrounding states to drive in and have a big sort/pack/ship party? Those who don't or can't come can pitch in a few bucks.

That said, please just go drop off the caps at the f'in post office will ya, raccoon?
I'd love to know if I still to expect to even see caps at this point. A list or something...

Post by: sethk_ on Sun, 11 January 2015, 10:32:59
I think raccoon's post office must be 1000 miles away and he has no car or shoes. This should be a life lesson to him; don't accept responsibility for other peoples property if you will not honor your commitment. Good intentions pave the road to hell.If you would bother looking above and going a bit back, you would see that racoon actually shipped them...

they were dropped off at the post office several days ago, and we have the tracking
so sit tight, we are coming to a close
as a ps
i can understand your frustrations, but i would like to keep any attacks to raccoon to a minimum, i cant justify the length of time this has gone on for, but what i can speak to is the fact he at no point had any ill intentions, perhaps he could have made this stuff more of a priority, but to him, he had personal commitments that trumped this that he didnt have prior to taking this on
whatever happened is in the past
between this and everything else he had, it has cost me an insane amount of money to have it shipped back, but its finally on the way, and i can promise we wont be sitting on anything

Is that Toxic and Penumbra in the pic too? :P
By the way Bunny, I forgot to mention this in my PM but I also have Toxic, Penumbra, and Raindrop kits ordered. I'm sure you'll get it all figured out on your end, but I don't mind waiting longer and having them all shipped together if that'll save you some cash.

thanks for all the pms guys, these will be going out all week, i really appreciate the kind words through the pms, i can only imagine how frustrating this has been for everyone, i can only apologise and stress i have really tried the best i can to make sure this happens, and im so happy its about to conclude
I didn't adopt Mechanical Keyboards as a hobby until after these group buys started but it's cool to see the dedication to the community you have (you and 7bit over at DT seem to put 110% into your projects for the community). It's a shame that it didn't go as planned but it's nice to see how much you cared about the situation and tried to resolve it.
That being said, I look forward to your future SA group buys... HyperFuse SA?...

Hi bunny. I pmed u and suggested you ship my order along with the penumbra. However I got the penumbra but not the calm depths set. Is mine shipped separately ?
yes
all calm depths sets were shipped separately
just to be clear on a few points once more
everyone who pmd me to confirm their order has been shipped
notifications werent sent out because we have no way to do this, you didnt order through us or pay us
if you sent a pm and didnt get a reply, dont worry, i just got lots and couldnt reply to them all at the time, the only reason you need to contact me about your order, is if you didnt pm me, in which case, please do, we have about 5 orders unaccounted for right now

it didn't sound like you had problems with missing keys but i do know there are plenty of calm depths (and other CTRL.ALT sets) keys in last years junk bags from SP in case some keys are missing, i doubt people threw them away.

This is the GB that got me to create a paypal account in the first place ... although in the interim I've acquired some TaiHao sets whose bright colors seem to have supplanted this colorway's former place in my heart. But I'm still a fan of the centered legends, and combined with some keys from rad-hard my ergodox looks pretty spiffy.

Sorry to pop in like that, but if it can help: I got one off centered CAPS key here (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=69208.0), look in [FS][EU]SA keycaps then in SA Modifiers & Specials (third pic).
we literally have a bag of hundreds of them
they were missing from the sets calm ordered
so we ordered and made a special 3 or 4 key pack, with a gh key, and the off centre stuff etc
one was meant to go in every order but in the rush to get stuff moving it looks like it didnt go in to them all, anyone who didnt get one jsut message me and ill put it on the list to get sorted
really happy to see them start showing up to people

I swapped out Nuclear Data Green set for Calm Depths on my home ErgoDox.
(http://i.imgur.com/zkFq2zKm.jpg) (http://i.imgur.com/zkFq2zK.jpg)
I decided I liked the deep dish arrow keys on the right hand, which is why I'm not using either of arrow sets that came with the base.
One thing I did notice was that the grey is not as translucent as the green from the Nuclear Data Green set. The 3 LEDs on the ErgoDox do not shine through as well.

cody doesnt check his pms very often right now, a bunch of people were being pretty rude to him
if you shoot me your address and order, ill forward it to him today and see that it gets sorted
and that goes for everyone else as well
anyone with a set outstanding, dont worry, ill get it sorted for you, just shoot me your current shipping address and your order, ill get a list together, and go through it with cody and get them done

We have some extras here that will be put up for sale if they are not claimed soon. I'll give it another few weeks - month.
I think i got everything calm depths related on gb-support.
If one goes unclaimed can I grab a spot? :cool:
Edit: First!
Some of us PMed :)
No clue. I also wouldn't be surprised if they just go up on ctrl alt or something like that.

I've been looking forward to getting my hands on this set for a long time. I hope my order hasn't been lost or forgotten...

I still haven't got a reply back from Cody. Now it appears that their GB support website is no longer working.

round 2 please?
If you can get a proxy/agent/friend, I know there's a GB for it on Taobao, with SP actually running the order. I don't recall if the GB is already live or when it'll go up, though.

A Calm Depths DSA buy might be an interesting alternative. There's already a set with alphas very similar to Calm Depths for a GMK buy as well.
