[IC] Switch Stickers from winkeyless.kr

[sethk_]

Hi, I was planning on ordering switch stickers from the winkeyless store, but when I saw the shipping, it turned me away, so I thought that I would mitigate the shipping cost by maybe running a GB for them.

There are 66 per sheet, so you would need 2 sheets for a full board.



Colors available:
Red
Yellow
White
Orange
Pink
Sky-Blue
Green

I already have the pricing and logistics sorted out, so after I get enough interest, it would be very fast to go into a GB, and then turnaround would also be fast.

[Heliosphere]

Definitely going to get a few sheets. Always wanted some but thought the same about shipping.

Edit: For colors I would probably get two sheets each of orange, red, and blue.

[Want]

I'm not sure if it would go through, but you could ask for a different shipping method. I recently ordered 6 sheets of stickers, and 2 sets of stabilizers. The shipping turned out to be $30 USD, but a day later I was contacted, and was offered another option for shipping which was at a significantly lower cost. I took the offer, and I was refunded my cash within a couple of days. Reason being that they usually ship keyboards - relatively big packages, and my small order did not justify the big cost.

I may have been an exception, but maybe it would be something for winkeyless.kr to look into? Great customer service, highly recommended! They probably don't mind a little talk back and forth about solutions.

Stickers are scarce these days, unfortunately.

[tjweir]

I'd take a couple sheets of pink, yellow and white.

[mashby]

I'd be interested in a couple of the sky blue and orange

[nubbinator]

Depending on price, I'd be down for white, green, and sky blue.

3 is what he sells them for, I will be charging 3.75 so I can cover some of the shipping to the U.S., and then shipping is around 4$, but I know I can get it cheaper, so that will change

Yeah, I talked to him about this, but not specifically the shipping, but once I get a final count of sheets, I will see if at that point shipping will be cheaper.

[heedpantsnow]

I'll order 4 sheets

[n7]

I'd be in for a few sheets.

[Ouro]

Ill buy a few different colored sheets

[Evo_Spec]

Would it be more efficient for me to get it from you or directly from winkeyless since I'm in Japan?

[sethk_]

Would it be more efficient for me to get it from you or directly from winkeyless since I'm in Japan?

It would be cheaper to go through me, but to my current knowledge, I wouldn't be able to give an accurate pricing on tracked, but it would be probably around 2 dollars more for shipping, without tracking.

[beehatch]

I would be interested for some sheets as well. I was in the same boat as you when the shipping costs deterred me, so this is a favorable alternative.

[FrostyToast]

I would be in for two red and two sky blue.

[jujubii]

I would be in for two red! shipped to the US 

[HTN47]

I'd be interested in 2 sky blue and 2 green 

[ph3nomzlol]

I would be in for like 4 x White 

[effectiveduck]

Is there any difference in feel between the colours?

[MileyBIGBOY]

love the idea of red, yellow and orange or so !

[sethk_]

Is there any difference in feel between the colours?

Nope

[effectiveduck]

Is there any difference in feel between the colours?

Nope

Your not really going to see the colour of the stickers while keycaps are installed right? So what's the point in having different colours?  Sorry if this sounds rude, I really just don't get it.

Perfectionist or capless board photography.

Actually that said, with the new influx of milk clear/clear gateron switches/tops it makes more sense than ever to have color coordinated stickers.

Not really, but I think it does reduced some wobble, but I also like the aesthetic of it when the caps are off

[Phinominal]

Count me in for 5 sheets! Still working out what colors though.

[hjc1710]

I'd be in for 2 red, sky blue, and orange (6 total).

Keeping tabs on this for sure.

[hwood34]

I'd be in for a few sheets

[sethk_]

Small update about current quantities; I have the current amount available, but Monstermask also said that he can make more, which might possibly extend the GB when I run it, which will probably only delay a day or two, if we even go past the quantities of each color.

4 sheets of blue 4 sheets of white

[radio_killah]

Is black not available? But I'm interested.

[sethk_]

No, but I could ask him what's the lowest amount he will do for black

[sethk_]

I asked him and black can be added

Awesome. What is the tentative pricing per sheet of 66?

[suicidal_orange]

How much would shipping to the UK be for a couple of sheets?  Significantly less than the $44 quoted on the site I would think )

[Prankk]

Been wanting to try some switch stickers. I'd be in for (1) skyblue, (2) white, and (2) black.

[Fnzzy]

I'll probably grab a few sheets.

[hjc1710]

Is black not available? But I'm interested.

On that note, I'm also down for 2 blacks. So, for me it's:

* 2 Sky Blue
* 2 Red
* 2 Orange
* 2 Black

8 in total. Thanks Pwn (and I hope this first GB goes well for ya ). Also lol @ Bunz order. Just a casual 100.

Yeah, figure start with something small, so I can get a basic feel of it.

[pr0ximity]

If somehow purple (the lighter the better) becomes available then I'd be in for a few sheets.

Also highly interested in purple. Would buy a few to help hit a MOQ for purple.

Definitely a good way to go. Don't want to get in too far and have tons of people's money on the line. Lotta responsibility.

[sethk_]

Before I ask about purple, are there any other colors that people might want?

[azhdar]

The shipping should be reasonnable right?
Considering a few green sheets.

[wlhlm]

3 is what he sells them for, I will be charging 3.75 so I can cover some of the shipping to the U.S., and then shipping is around 4$, but I know I can get it cheaper, so that will change

[sethk_]

Yeah, international orders won't have tracking though, and it will be 2$ more USD

[Giorgio]

What are these stickers used for?

[LXXXIX]

Before I ask about purple, are there any other colors that people might want?

Clear, yellow-green, black, and grey. Just throwing some colors out.

Grey is a good idea, black has been added, clear is probably doable, but I don't think many people would get it, but lighter green is also a good idea.

[sethk_]

What are these stickers used for?

They go on the switches, improved aesthetics and reduces switch wobble. You put them in between the switch bottom and switch top

[azhdar]

lime green:

[hjc1710]

I don't know what the other color options are, but I'd also buy some dark blue (to match RainDrop) and some teal. I also might buy some grey.

I'm also down for any type of purple, not just a light purple.

I literally can't think of any other colors....

[Giorgio]

Thanks, these are quite nice actually.

Cookies I'd want: lime green, magenta, violet, hot pink, teal, burgundy/port, neon yellow or blue, and that's all I can think of right now.

There we go! Here's a man who gets colors. Seconding magenta/violet (in addition to teal and regular blue as I mentioned). I'd probably go in for a good burgundy or port, if it turned out pretty damn good.

[sethk_]

Cookies I'd want: lime green, magenta, violet, hot pink, teal, burgundy/port, neon yellow or blue, and that's all I can think of right now.

From this list I will inquire about:
Burgundy
Lime green
Electric blue color
Hot pink
Purple/Violet

[tjweir]

Lime green

Hot pink

Oh yes, I'd change my order if these we're offered.

Thanks for asking.

Actually, electric blue is already a color, which I might have called teal, so I will inquire about a regular blue

[sethk_]

Okay, I sent him what I think covers the general spectrum, except gold. Colors currently we can have: OP + black, and I sent an email about burgundy, lime green, a darker blue, hot pink, purple, and silver. Other than that, suggestions on colors will be taken lightly

[MassiveAggresive]

I'd be in for 2 sky blue and 2 orange.

[CaplockJack]

Isn't the sticker under the key so color should not matter?

[FrostyToast]

Isn't the sticker under the key so color should not matter?

You're talking to people who would buy gold springs and coloured switch tops.
We all know that the colour for stickers is highly irrelevant but we still want it.
Besides, it looks nice when you take off your caps when soldering or just taking glamour photos.

[wlhlm]

I like the general self awareness here

[CyriusG]

I would be interested in four sheets of green.

[sethk_]

I will probably give the IC until Monday, and go live on Tuesday, since I see enough interest as it is, and then keep it up for a couple of weeks at least.

[sethk_]

The only other color he can do without testing & using a lot of money is black, so there will be 8 colors in total

Can't we do like a buy from winkeyless altogether? Like now we have a seperate buy for stabs and 1 for stickers?

GON was too busy so we chose to work with Winkeyless.kr

Are you planning to send those stickers inside cardboard-backed envelopes ?

Idd, seems pretty pointless to have 2 seperate buys from the same website I guess I could proxy some orders, depending on the time they arrive

Ohh, I just re-read what you said, and I honestly would rather not,with his already under way.

[TheMamaMafia]

I think I could be interested in a couple of white sheets. Thank you for fixing this GB 😊

[FoC_Tow]

Looking good pwn! 

I would be down for a few white, lime green and hot pink ones if those happen!

If you look up a bit, you will see that the only color that was added was black, as Monstermask said that the other colors would be very expensive, as they would need to test colors or something, but maybe in the future I can find them.

[FoC_Tow]

Sorry been a long night pwn... xD

The green already looks pretty bright and lime like to me actually!
Black actually sounds tempting aswell... So many decision =D

[sethk_]

The price will change from 3.75 to 3.80, to cover individual shipping costs, as I need to purchase the proper envelopes. The black ones will be 4.00 since they were a custom color. Any final questions/suggestions should be asked now, as I am launching Monday, April 27th

[TheMamaMafia]

Will this GB ship to Europe? If so, how much will it cost?

Kk thanks @wlhlm. Apparently I can't read

The actual price will be sent with your invoice, but it won't be more than 6-7$ as I am sending them in the document envelopes

[TheMamaMafia]

Yes ok, thank you for the reply

[Lpwl]

I did some maths :
- One sheet of 66 stickers weighs ~6g.
- One cardboard-backed envelope (like these ones) weighs ~22g.


So here is what I can do from France (packaging costs & postage included || PP fees excluded):

1-4 sheets (< 50g) :
• shipping within France : 1,50 €
• shipping within Europe : 1,80 €
• delivery in other countries : 2,40 €

5-13 sheets (< 100g) :
• shipping within France : 2,20 €
• shipping within Europe : 2,30 €
• delivery in other countries : 2,90 €

Shipping option available :
- Tracked (+3,20 €)
- Registered (+4,30€)


Of course, I'm just offering my help.

Pwnnarwhal may want to run this GB on his own !   

[awhitedev]

I'd  be in for about 6 sheets or so of different colors. Definitely in for teal or sky-blue.

[heedpantsnow]

OK please put me down for white, black, red, and sky-blue.  1 sheet each.  I might not be online when you start the GB.

[TheMamaMafia]

[doodersbrother]

Do you just put these on top of keycaps? If not, what's the use for them?

[sethk_]

Do you just put these on top of keycaps? If not, what's the use for them?

You have to take off the switch top, which is part of the switch itself. You then stick these on, and put the spring, stem, and top back on. They help reduce switch top wobble, but are mostly used for aesthetic
