I am very excited to launch my new site: http://www.techkeys.us (http://www.techkeys.us)
I am still working on some final touches, but would gladly entertain any feedback or suggestions you guys have.
There are some new keys that have never been sold available for purchase, and the first 5 orders will get some free surprises thrown in with their orders!
There will be more products coming soon so please check back often!

Oh I am definitely going to continue to do group buys!! I am just going to sell leftovers and some side projects on the site.
-
Just placed an order with SP - Get excited for new keys in 4 weeks :)

Can't wait to see them! You might wanna consider starting an email list for all your customers to let them know when there's a new keycap available. I'd sign up for one. =P

Considering picking something up for my esc key. Would be my first key cap purchase ever ^_^. If I ordered something would you throw in a keycap puller? :P
-
I would if I had one to spare. Paper clip works in a pinch

Just ordered the Billiards keyset and several single keys. Hope I had more options to chose from. Keep up the good work!

Wait, I'm not 100% on how USPS works, I just assumed that $3 postage was the amount you had to pay. If I'm wrong disregard that comment :D

Okay ^^ That's fine haha was just wondering
-
Bubble mailers, Tape, Labels...That stuff adds up. Also the international packages require the customs forms and takes forever at the post office.

Yeah wasn't thinking about all that :\ feel kinda silly now. I'm enjoying the keys nonetheless and will of course buy more in the future :)
-
Received my first order today, and as expected: They look AMAZING!

Looking forward for new cool keys on your website.

I ordered a Billiards 15 key set plus one Russia key and one 8-ball key. I've received the keys (a few weeks ago). There was 2 Russia keys and 2 8-Ball keys in the mail! Thanks, that was a nice surprise. Would definitely buy again from you!

Larger orders often come with surprises :)

When was the second version of the weezer keycap made?
-
First batch was too thin of lines so they were remade with thicker lines.
-
I spy something new on the site!

Postman hates me. Hoping he delivers my keys tomorrow.

Damn that was quick.
I bought the Green one myself, because I figured I should at least own one piece from the CC&G key-set. Even though it looks like never, ever showing up, .....so depressed. :'( :-[ :'(

I think the postal service hates me :P I ordered back on the 28th my order isn't here yet. Probably stuck at an Aus Post somewhere.
-
I just received an email notice to NEW keys on your site.
Fell in LOVE with the Green "REFRESH" key. Perfect for F5 replacement, just bought a couple.
Geeze you guys are great at making vital keys available to everyone.
-

Trust me, we are stuck with the WORST postal system on this planet...... probably on par with Zimbabwe or Nigeria when it comes to reliability and trustworthiness. >:D :( >:D

Three business days, still not shipped? :mad:

Your our was placed on the 6th and shipped on the 7th.
I must have missed triggering your shipment notification.
All orders except the ones placed today have shipped within 1 business day.

Oh... never mind then. :-[

Ah just looked at what I paid for the group buys... looks like i am breaking even at those prices anyway :)
-
Just noticed the creeper key. I hate you :( Any chance that you will be doing free shipping again any time soon? Lol. Shipping for it is nearly the cost of 3 keys for me :(
-
Probably not for a while...sorry.
-
Low stock alert! 2 White on Black Pi keys left - then they are gone for good!

Dear i3oilermaker,
The Stepped Caps Locks came in today, and they are so beautiful to look at.
As I'm wiping away tears of joy, I noticed your fantastic, highly unique business card - VERY nice. It looks like it will survive anything including a mushroom cloud.
It all arrived undamaged in their insulated envelope, and I'm glad you sold these items because I am so embarrassed for pulling out of that Group Buy you held when it came to getting these babies.
I certainly won't be pulling out of any Group Buys you are running in the future.
Again, thank you for selling me these caps, it's much appreciated. :D
-
Hi Everyone,
I just created an account with geekhack to tell you all how happy I am with the keycaps I ordered from TechKeys. These are my first keycaps and they are awesome. In fact, I was so impressed I just ordered some more :D Even my wife likes them and she is sending pictures of my keyboard to her friends as I type this - usually she thinks I am just a freak.
I also wanted to advise that I was not charged any duty or import fees for shipping into Canada, as many people are reluctant to order from the US for this reason. If that changes with this most recent order, I will update this post. I will be adding my email to your website distribution list so I don't miss out on any future offers; I will definitely be ordering more.
Thanks i3oilermaker!!!

@Octane: Welcome to Geekhack!
Now that you are here, please stay a while :)
-
I still need to get myself a Vim cap. I love Vim.
-
There are not too many left!
-
I just recently made an order with split shipping, and forgot to grab one so I probably won't be getting one any time soon :\
-
I love mine. It was my first custom key. I should have ordered another when I bought those crystal keys. Next time.
-
Brad, will you please send a notification email when the "empty heart container" dyesub keys are restocked? That's all I'm missing now.
And I want to second whoever it was that said the techkeys dyesubs go well with the RA 2.0 with grey mods. They look great!
-
NOTIFICATION
They are back in stock :)
-
Ordered...thanks! Can't wait for more dyesubs from TechKeys!
-
Lightning Bolts are back in stock!
-
Zelda Full Hearts are BACK!
-
Hey Brad, are you all out of stock of the stepped caps locks? Just noticed they weren't on the site anymore.
-
They are gone :(
-
Oh ****. That'll teach me to procrastinate.
-
Now the ones we have are worth more. Let the bidding commence!
:D
-
Will the extra Valentine's keys be on the custom key page or the GeekHack page?
Thanks!

-
I want a ten key valentines set! :D And more Vim keys :\
-
Awesome site! Thanks for sharing.

I am thinking of creating a new page for full sets. Either way, it wont be hard to find them.
Sign up for the newsletter if you want a direct link as soon as they are available!

Yes, please.
I much prefer to be able to obtain a set through a distributor rather than a group buy for two reasons: simplicity and speed.
-
I'm looking forward to the comeback of the zelda heart keys!
They're up!
I just ordered $42 worth. :)
6 full hearts, 1 half heart, and 4 empty hearts.
and 1 creeper key and 1 key puller.
I am *so* excited for these. :)
-
BTW it looks like the newsletter is getting caught in a lot of SPAM filters.
I am looking into resolving this.

Yay! I missed out on Bro caps because GMail thought you were a spammer. I think it doesn't like .us domains, which is silly at this point.
-
It seems like most were getting delivered fine until the last 2 newsletters.
I am looking into alternate solutions.
-
Working fine with gmail for me.
-
I have gmail and mine went to spam...very discouraging. I looks like about 40% of them are going to spam :(
-
Mine went to my inbox, hotmail.
-
Which message are we talking about? I'm on gmail and I got the newsletter about the green keys but that's the last one. Was there a new one?
EDIT: Just checked SPAM folder. I did miss the Zelda message.
I've read about this problem before for smaller companies. Lots of people don't bother unsubscribing, they just start using the "SPAM" button. It can be a real pain in the butt to convince the big boys you're legit.
-
Hotmail and they're going to inbox.
-
I actually haven't got any, and they're not in the spam box... So you may have a problem with newsletter signups on your site as well.
-
I checked again and the Zelda keys did actually go to my spam on gmail. That is the only one that's done it as far as I can remember.The 420 smilie keys and creeper keys went right to my inbox. Maybe you hit a trigger word in the Zelda newsletter?
-
I got the Zelda email in my inbox (Gmail). Emails from TechKeys are flagged by Gmail as "important" when they arrive for me. I think the trouble may lie in the remailer service you are using. Gmail popped up a phishing warning when I first opened the email, saying that it may not have come from your email address. Your remailer probably got flagged by Gmail recently, so people are getting them sent to the spam filter.
-
I am in the process of changing over providers.
-
[troll]
my aol account showed the email just fine
[/troll]
Jk, spam in my gmail as well. I've already added a label in gmail to never mark you as spam :D
-
I used Thunderbird and everything is correctly filed by filters. None have gone to spam.

Same here. Thunderbird is awesome :)
-
I got both emails today in inbox, no spam, using GMail.
-
I tried re-signing up for newsletters and I'm still not getting them, so I don't know if the signup is down as you're switching providers, or if maybe there's an issue with it (maybe exclusive to Chrome)
Also, my keycaps should be arriving next week I think! :)

Stoked on the January pack, WYSE addon, and GH fund raiser!
