placed 0 for the spacebars, is there any board we can use those space bars on?
If there's a 7x spacebar, will there be 1.5 mods to go with it?
Which common keyboards use 5x and 7x spacebars? Just trying to figure out what I'd do with a spacebar from this set (my current one is a 6.25)
Are there any pictures of the "blue" that they're using?
Will place an order later tonight!Can't wait!
Is there a pic of a full set that includes modifiers?
How are the keys doubleshot if they are blank?
I want a black set and a green set with 5x spacebars. What info do you guys need?
lol ohhhhhh group buy is up !! Are we shooting for the moon? Hopefully we can hit the 500 MOQ on each set and end up with 2500 sets :D
Ouch, that shipping. It actually seems like it's just as expensive to ship within Canada as it is to ship to Canada, but a lot more expensive to ship to the US. If I were to get it, could I ask to drop the spacebars if it's going to edge over 1lb?
Doh! I misordered, resubmitted with a comment saying to use that one.

For those in contact with Tai Hao, please ask if they're producing doubleshot PBT.
Are you affirmative about that? They might be the supplier to Vortex doubleshot PBT.Show Image(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v280/Furuyah/Keyboard/keycap/vortexPBT_zpsd68ea902.jpg)Show Image(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v280/Furuyah/Keyboard/keycap/votexPBTpink_zps212251c2.jpg)

I just got confirmation that they don't make PBT caps.
Pbt ds's huh. Didn't know that was possible. Nice
It is, but it's tough to do because PBT shrinks more than ABS. Not many places will do it.
Just went APE_Sheete on the orders. I'll have 2 to 4 of EVERYTHING.
Yes I'm a true Colour Fanatic. The PRICE is really unbelievable. That is why I've gone nuts for everything, wake me up when it's all over........ :p .
http://www.techkeys.us/custom-keys.php
Look at the W key - PDT doubleshot (plus dyesub).
So should we just resubmit our orders or how do we change things now?
And another question:
4 sets would ship for 13$ to Germany correct?
Do many people really want the spacebar? Not many people actually use the 7x (I understand some do) but im planning on buying a few sets and its a pointless extra cost onto of each of them for me; I don't mind paying but how many people actually want 7x ?
Do many people really want the spacebar?
I'm going to make every order have a space bar for each set as a default unless you specify for none in the comments.
I accidentally put 1 space bar for 5 sets, could you change it to 5 for me?
I'm going to make every order have a space bar for each set as a default unless you specify for none in the comments.
Hi Elton, can you please make my order without a spacebar? I wasn't able to indicate it in the comments when I placed mine in.
Thanks! ;D
Elton when all is said and done and since MOQ is so high and we don't reach MOQ. Can I encourage you to give them the final numbers of all the color orders and see if maeby they just might do it if we are between 300-400 MOQ per color. Just an idea.
$8 a set and shipped from Canada? Might have to get some of this action.
What is the closest intersection for that pickup in Toronto ?
Is my blackwidow compatible for the spacebar? >.<
Sorry, read through the posts and wasn't sure whether to put anything in the spacebar box
Is it for people that do want it? so the sets do not come with it included?
Or people that Don't? and they need to be taken out?
sorry for newb question
What is the closest intersection for that pickup in Toronto ?
A set includes a space bar, but some people doesn't need it or can't use it, so they opt out.
Why don't you order the spacebar for every set by default? You could distribute the spacebars that people dont want among the other orders with matching colors!
I mean we pay the same for a set with and without a spacebar, so why not take it? I don't think this would change the shipping costs for your initial order at all...
Space bar is ordered for every set by default. So whoever doesn't want theirs are left with me to deal with it.

I don't mind getting a few extra space bars as I am still wondering whether you can cut and glue them to fit 6.25x and would need a few unwitting volunteer bars to experiment on.

If you can get them to work, they won't be pretty. You'll have a pretty ugly seam where they meet.
What happens if we don't meet the MOQ for one of the colors we individual order. Will we have to order a second of one that reached MOQ? Or will those orders simply be dropped?

I would hope that the GB would be extended and those who ordered colours that definitely wouldn't get in (black) would have the opportunity to order a different colour.
Each set comes with space bar, blank modifier right will it fit filcoYes, each set will come with a space bar, but it will be either a space bar that only fits vintage boards (7 units length), or a space bar that essentially fits no boards at all (5 units length) except some special asian ones maybe.

By the by, does anyone know how much does a set weigh?
I want to order more sets, but I don't want to breach any weight limits and end up paying more for shipping than for the keycaps.
The whole spacebar thing is still prety confusing, despite reading the whole thread..
If I want to order 5 sets, one of each color, and if I did want the spacebars, would I fill out 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 5 in the number fields?
I am German and I have no clue what an oz is too, but Google says this:
https://www.google.com/search?btnG=1&pws=0&q=28+oz+in+lb
So yeah, 7 sets should be less than 2.2lb
Well, occassionally there are good deals on ebay.de for vintage cherry boards with doubleshot caps.
If you are find something you want, I could proxy it to you, but I assume shipping costs to Australia will be pretty high...
We're looking at about 60~70 kg per 500 sets. After the math, it's approx 139.7 grams or 4.928 ounces per set.
We're looking at about 60~70 kg per 500 sets. After the math, it's approx 139.7 grams or 4.928 ounces per set.
That means
3 sets = 13$ for international shipping
4 sets = 20$ for international shipping
correct?
This makes the 4th set twice as expensive ... I might need to reduce my order or find someone else to split shipping to make it worthwile buying 4+sets.
And I can't imagine having 350 kg of key caps in my house..........
well elton if you ever need help with packaging them. I can help you out lol
Edit: I've never done a group buy before. Is 500 for each set reasonable? Are orders closed when we reach 500? Or do you have a time in mind to close orders?

If MOQ becomes an issue, I would reconsider ordering only a couple of colors. I know we won't all agree on which colors, but then if we don't reach MOQ for each--we won't get anything anyway.
So if that becomes the case, I would pick the two most popular colors and do another set of orders for those. Should in theory result in higher numbers for those two colors.
This or even one, then do a second and a third and a fourth after each one us over. This is just my opinion, but I think it's a viable solution considering price.

Where is your order?!?! :P
elton, I don't have a paypal account. Are you able to send a paypal invoice that can be paid manually?
I'm not a fan of OEM profile or ABS, but I'll still put in an order soon despite this :)
elton, i think i will cancel my orders, please do so, thanks

ordered
1 blue
1 black
hope that helps :D
I would love to see the BLACK one hits MOQ, Elton how long will you leave this GB open, another month or so? Maeby we chose bad timing since we have so many thick PBT exotics with Lysol and Dolch with Sherry... you should let this GB run at least for another month or so.
I ordered 1 of each set, and if things get tighter towards the end, I will kick it another notch and order one more set of each :(
again i must say i am a bit surprised so little people are getting black at $8, dont you guys want to try black alpha with blue/red/yellow/green modifiers? the yellow will probably be insanely bright, it will melt your face having an entire keyboard with it ;)
Everyone probably has black OEM keys already, and wants to add some colour.
@Elton
Elton if this ever happens, you should run GB trough SP for matching spacebar colors, this way we can get really close with matching the color of the keycaps. Offcourse if you are not burned out from this GB :P
Someone in the USA should do it since SP is located there and shipping to one of you guys would be substantially cheaper.
SP keys aren't OEM though, so the height wouldn't match?
how about the DSA type 6.25 space bars instead of DCS? that can be done right?
Hey, I got black with my order ;)
you should add "$8 per set" to the title to attract those who are casually browsing and not paying much attention to the many group buys in session ;)
I wished they have grey too :(
Hi Elton,
Would you help on below questions if order release to you :
1. The key caps can be direct ship to China (PRC) from Canand or not ?
2. What express you will be use ? I'm afraid the express-man do not read English when the package pass into China.
Thank you !
I think you can type in your Chinese address at the side so that elton can print it out anyway.
I think you can type in your Chinese address at the side so that elton can print it out anyway.
yes, I can type in the address in English & Chinese , but I am not sure the shipping label have enough field.

I'm sure I can ship to China with Canada Post. It does have China listed.
If it doesn't fit the label, write your Chinese address with the English address in the order form and I'll print it out separately and stick it on the box.
please add
1 green
1 red
to my existing order
If exceed 2.2 lb, are you going to split? or overcharge?
(I want 2-sets each colors)
and what is the box's weight?
Just to make sure, are modifiers included?
Are there any better pictures of the blue set? Ordered a red yellow and blue :D
I submitted for one set of red, though I just realized that these are $8 a piece. (Suppose I should read the OP, eh?) I'd like to change my order to 2 sets of red and 2 sets of black. Thanks!
Elton, given that I've ordered a few sets (1x each + 3x black), may I request to have a few of the space bars that others don't want?
If it's too much of a hassle to sort out, that's totally fair enough, might be easier to just ship spacebars to everyone even if they didn't want one.
But I'm going to try building a few 6.5 unit ones using a sharp blade, some glue and some sandpaper, or possibly using the dremel and melting the plastic, or possibly by throwing them at each other **really hard** and hoping they undergo some kind of molecular fission and just pop out as 6.5's lol.
Either way, a few spares would certainly come in handy.
Just got the kitchen scale. I got a mix of SP DS and poker OEM keys and the weight was 111g which is about 3.9 oz
Just thinking ahead. You guys want air shipment or by sea? By sea, we will save 100-200 USD per colour for shipping.
It will take around a month by sea.

It's over by 0.3 lb. it'll cost you only $3 more up until 3.3 lb.
Yeah because the box will weigh about 0.6 lb (11.5x9x6.5 box) or more depending on your order.
8 sets will be 1.96 lb (888g)

We need moar yellow orders! ;)
Hey. I ordered 2 red sets, but I'd like to change it to 3. Should I resubmit, or can you change it?
Hey can I change my order from 1 Black, 1 Red, 1 Green, to 1 Blue, 1 Red, 1 Green.
Also random question because I don't want to start a thread, but is there any retailer that does tsangan modifier kits? I have a CM quickfire pro and the bottom row is all non-standard. Or should I just wait for another group buy? I missed the other ones.
Thanks!
For clarification, is the option for pad-printed windows and menu keys an individual thing or applied to the entire GB?
1.5 mod kits are exclusive to group buys. It's too bad that many manufacturers screw with the bottom row, resulting in the need for such kits.
Or you might search for old, used keycap sets (winkeyless mods are 1.5). You might even get a complete matching set.
We need moar yellow orders! ;)
Reminds me of gastric juices, seen it way too often
In for 3 sets. Go yellow! I must have it :D
is this going to make it? I noticed a large amount of geek hack has put in orders and we aren't even half there for the top two.
I just submitted my order for 8 sets are about 2LB right? Are they weighing over 2.2LB after packaging?
It's over by 0.3 lb. it'll cost you only $3 more up until 3.3 lb.

question about shipping: if every set is 4oz and there is a minimum of 2 sets, and the cheapest shipping is for under a lbs - then with packing material that would put it over a lbs yes?

Agreed. Order moar.
It can be an option, but so far only 1 person requested them. I'm not sure if it is worth getting.
I have to order at least 200 of each.
As in, 200 keys total with legends to be printed on them, or 200 of eah type? i.e. would we just need 200 people to want a windows printed on a keycap, or would we need 200 people to order windows legend printed on black or 200 people with menu key on blue? At this stage I doubt that we're going to get 200 orders of people wanting a windows logo on the same colour key...Is it really possible for the MOQ to be met?
probably not, but won't hurt to try :)
Away with this negativity! We will make it!! Just order moar!!!
How much will the shipping be for 4 sets?
question about shipping: if every set is 4oz and there is a minimum of 2 sets, and the cheapest shipping is for under a lbs - then with packing material that would put it over a lbs yes?
3 sets will be under 1 LB. - 111g (0.245 lb) x 3 sets = 333g (0.74 LB) + weight of box - should be under 1LB
6-7 sets should be under 2.2 LB
10-11 sets should be under 3.3 LB
Is it really possible for the MOQ to be met?
Put in an order and we will see. It's only been 6 days..
So should I get 4 sets if I don't want to pay for additional shipping?

Some people are still filling in the IC order form...well I just disabled it
again i must say i am a bit surprised so little people are getting black at $8
Finally got a chance to read through this thread. I ordered 5 sets, 1 of each color. Elton, do you realize if we hit MOQ for all colors, you're basically dealing with a quarter million caps? That's enough to swim in them.again i must say i am a bit surprised so little people are getting black at $8
Nobody likes blacksMore
KEYCAPS OF COURSE
Hey elton could I update my order to 3 sets of red instead of just 2?
Hey elton could I update my order to 3 sets of red instead of just 2?
Done.
I am also considering having a Singapore distributor to handle all Asia orders. That will make shipping significantly cheaper.
Well, here's a conundrum. What happens as each color reaches 500? Do you order 5 orders of one color a piece or 1 order of five colors at once. Just food for thought. :)
This is my first group buy, when / to whom do i paypal?
Seems to me like the shipping charge from China->Toronto is pretty minimal per set. $3500+fees for 2500 sets if we hit MOQ for each colour is $1.40/set plus share of import fees. Shipping by sea will save a bit, but are people so thrown off by <$2/set that they would rather wait a month?
I'll be ordering one of each, and would gladly not have to wait an extra month.
Sorting is done by Tai Hao.No, i mean when Elton gets them hes going to have quarter of a million keys (even if they are in sets) to package.
Finally got a chance to read through this thread. I ordered 5 sets, 1 of each color. Elton, do you realize if we hit MOQ for all colors, you're basically dealing with a quarter million caps? That's enough to swim in them.
What I'm saying is that each color doesn't seem that it will reach 500 sets at the same time, therefore, are we waiting for each color to reach 500 sets before we place an order OR are we placing an order for color X as soon as it reaches 500 sets->thus repeating that process 5 times.Well, here's a conundrum. What happens as each color reaches 500? Do you order 5 orders of one color a piece or 1 order of five colors at once. Just food for thought. :)
Confused... Do you mean whether 500 is a set quantity beyond which any extras are complicated for each color? Unsure of the meaning of your question.
For those who ordered more than one colour (most of us), sending each order off as it reaches 500 could mean 5 separate shipments to the GH members, and potentially 5 separate shipping charges.Good point. I think that one order would be a better option now. Thanks for the thoughts.
Conversely waiting until all colours have reached 500 would increase, at least in the short term, the workload of the dedicated GB organiser.
So it might come down to more expensive shipping for everyone, or more work for the GB organiser.
Perhaps the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.
You are right, rowdy.
Anyway, I'll try to get a shot of a full 104 set for you all.
$1.50 at WASDkeyboards ;) but maybe half the cost of the set with shipping ;PStill $1.50 spacebar, and I'm no fool, so I ordered 4 sets which... logically means 8 spacebars. :P
And WOW 100 guests viewing atm..
Show Image(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/05/28/2upema3y.jpg)Here is a picture of the full set we are getting
I don't really understand what's wrong with the space bar, can someone inform me?
First time buying keycaps and first post on GH!
I hope the MOQ can be met on what I ordered:

Hello guys, I'm new to these boards been lurking a bit and stumble upon this GB and HAD to make an account to purchase some. So what do I need to do is fill out the form and thats it or do I also comment here that I filled out a form. Also I noticed the thing about pickup in Toronto, how does that work? I live pretty close to the city and I'm almost always around.
Hey there, you just have to fill out the form and that's it. If you want to make changes to your order, just PM me or leave a message here.
Once all MOQ have been met, I'll send out invoices thru PayPal to the email addresses you provided.
Once I get the key caps, I'll arrange pick ups either downtown or a day at Pacific Mall in Markham.
I would most likely place an order, but I have no timeline for the end of this...
I posted an order for
1x yellow
1x blue
1x red
I will be however very sad if yellow doesn't make it, it's the reason I signed up for this :)
in for 4 sets.. one for each color other than black :)
I'll be ordering ~6-8 sets, but not sure which sets those will be yet. This price cannot be beat, and I am quite fond of OEM profile.

Er, elton, did I order one set of each (= 5 sets)?
The more I check this post everyday, the more I want them all :p
Sorry elton, I would like to double my order. So it's going to be 2 sets on each color.
Do I need to submit another form again? Sorry about the trouble ;)
Space bars: probably from WASD, if my plans to cut and glue a 7x space bar do not come to fruition.
Plastic: ABS (as are nearly all doubleshots).
Can you add one black set to my order so I will have 1 of each color.

Dunno how much the colors will actually match so I'll most likely get a white spacebar or sumfing
when is this order 500 set enough >"<
...and maybe pour a few boxes of caps on the floor to make a point..;)
I might buy more sets if needed. Red is getting close though.
What does 2500 sets look like? I can't even imagine how much that is.
Oh yeah, there are considerations for shipping a portion of the order to Singapore, where a fellow kind member here is willing to help distribute orders for Asia. So keep that in mind =)
that would be nice. i can just go and get from that member. :D
Hey elton5354, submitted the form, there were a couple of queries in the comments, PM me what you think.
that would be nice. i can just go and get from that member. :D
Benefits everyone in Asia :)
So will the CTRL and ALT key be 1.5x or 1.25x with a 7x spacebar.
So will the CTRL and ALT key be 1.5x or 1.25x with a 7x spacebar.
From the pictures at the start of the thread, looks very much like 1.25x modifiers (with 7x space bar? - odd).
I just saw this thread...why are the prices so freaking low?
As for the shipping, it's only one time and not multiple times if we reach all MOQs.
Thought I would throw this out there, to encourage more orders (or more precisely, to raise the GB's profile) maybe someone could design a cool forum sig to promote the GB that we can all display (I am not so good with such things sadly). I know I am new to the forums and my post count is negligible, but others may help us get those numbers up :cool:

I reckon this is a great idea! I've got no skills either but I'll happily stick it in my sig if someone designs it and everyone thinks it could help us meet MOQ!!
What do you want on it, text-wise? Which photos can I use? I can also try to put something together, but I'd also like to know the size limit for this site (something narrow and small enough), because I rarely see anyone here with non-word signatures.
signatures are limited to 777 x 70 pixels
I just saw this thread...why are the prices so freaking low?
lol because of the really high MOQ. Typically when you order something in larger quantity they give you better price per unit. In our case a very large quantity lol.
Quotesignatures are limited to 777 x 70 pixels
Should be within that limit. Nothing to obtrusive. Use any photos you like, like the ones in OP or in the link or whatever you think is nice.
Text wise, probably note that it is $8 for a whole set.
Thanks :D
As I said before, I'll run this for a month and see what the numbers are. We are almost approaching the 2nd week of this GB. I'll probably set a deadline 2 weeks after the one month evaluation.
Couldn't find a clear answer in the replies :confused: how much would each set be if I wanted 1.5x mods and a 7x spacebar? These look great though for the price :D

I think they are included in $8
Add another red and yellow to my order. Hopefully shipping remains under USD 20.Added

So, would you be able to tack on 1.5 mods to each order? $0.30 isn't going to break my bank. :D

Actually, it's $.30 each key. Let me talk with them again with regards to adding 1.5x mods along with the 1.25x mods. See if we can get a deal.
No clue, but you seem to have more 7x space boards than 6.25 so... Good news for you! :P
They seem to make these sort of layouts
Is there an Option for German (DE) layout that fits on a Filco Majestouch 2 Tenkeyless? The Shift Button looks much larger than on my keyboard.
i wonder if there's going to be a wsad group buy when this is completeWouldn't be a bad idea.
I already messaged WASDkeyboards about this, but no reply yet.
As for adding 2 1.5x and 2 1x mods is an additional $1.
that's not bad at all because, I don't have a board with such layout but you never know what the future brings. For and additional $1 more per set you make your set more versatile. I would be in to pay $1 more per set for all the 5 sets I ordered, problem is we need 500 sets like this, maeby you can ask people if its ok for adding these modifiers for the small extra charge.
we can certainly pickup the orders somewhere. Take Ivan's PBT buy for example.
I personally would ask people to pay the extra dollar. If they drop off, we can certainly pickup the orders somewhere. Take Ivan's PBT buy for example.

If people drop out, I don't know how long we can reach MOQ. I'm trying to set a deadline for about a month. Ivan's GB is not even comparable since his MOQ is only 20 and this is 2500...and he's still having a hard time reaching it.
Maybe it's time to make a pretty banner for his, heh :)
I think this one should work out, at least for the two top sets. Red is getting closer every day. But you should probably wait for over 500 sets per color, as I'm certain some people will go MIA / drop out when time will come to pay.

Or make me a new one if this turns into a $9/set GB :P
Yeah that works, though I can always cover some if people drop out/MIA during payment, but only so much. I already have 15 of each colour and 35 orders on black...
I have no use for the 7 spacebar any more than I need the winkeyless keys... it's still very cheap but I'd be paying for something I'd never use (basically so other people get their winkeyless sets)...

Maybe I'm just confused, but wouldn't a winkeyless / 7x spacebar layout require (4) 1.5x plus the (2) 1x caps?

I think that's why people were asking how the 1.25 and 7x were going to jive in the first place!

Right, that's been an issue the whole time, but I was referring to the fact that the added switches for a dollar don't seem to actually offer a solution since we'd need 4 of the 1.5x but only 2 are listed right now. Unless, of course, I'm wrong. :D
Certainly makes more sense.
BTW, did you have a word with WASD for a GO on 6.25x spacebars for matching colors.
The thing with SP is they have a different profile space bar, so the keys won't be the same height.
The thing with SP is they have a different profile space bar, so the keys won't be the same height.
Would an SP spacebar be taller or shorter? I personally might not mind a height difference if the colors are a perfect match. That's just me though, of course.
If you guys can match the colours of what SP have and the colours of these sets, then we can do something.
The prices are probably the same as other group buys with SP. The pricing is taken from the Retro GB.
5-9 $10.79
10-14 $5.89
15-24 $4.26
25-49 $2.95
50-74 $1.97
75-99 $1.65
100-149 $1.48
150-199 $1.32
200-249 $1.24
250+ $1.19
This has to be a separate group buy though.
New guy here. It's the OCN's fault. I put in an order for a few sets.
:) Chris
~1$ for a spacebar seems fine.
But I guess this would delay the GB by quite a bit since you had to get the real sets first and then get a SP color ring to find the matching colors.
Would be worth it though in my opinion :)
I too would prefer a color match over profile match.
elton, do you have a set for each color with you available or even a sample of each color? If yes, do you have access to the SP color rings to get a match?
In anycase, what would be the fastest way to find a SP ring color match with the 4 colors available in this GB.

Mind linking me to the thread? =)
Just found this on GH. Maybe users can use it to find a match.
According to me:
Red - RCC
Yellow - YR
Blue - BFD
Green - VA2

I think it would be better to get hands on the sets and a color ring from SP in order to get a good match. A delay for the spacebars is not a big deal to me at all. Worth it to get a match rather than have it just off and be annoyed.
Regarding the extra dollar per set, I'm happy to pay it for my sets, still a bargain price imho.me too! Go MOQ go!

Sorry, quite new here..
Will these key caps set fit in my Leopold FC700R?
When we reach the 500 MOQ, how long will it take for it to ship out?We have to wait until everyone pays up first as well.
If possible I would like to add an additional blue set to my order.
About the modifications, I would rather go with the original plan to get these quickly, and I figure I'd get some shiny metallic spacebar or something so even if it stands out it's still classy. It'd take this as it's the fastest route, and for the original key set it's probably easier to reach MOQ without creating much confusion with an extra dollar here another there till it's 15 instead of 8 and it's all delayed extra 2 months.
It's fine to ask around for different setups, however before a final configuration the logged order quantities are sort of wishful thinking so we won't see how many will actually buy it.
Just my 2c on a couple of the things being discussed:
1) Space bars - I would personally prefer the profile to match than the colour. Especially if the black ones from WASD match. Otherwise typing will feel a bit odd... and some of us do actually like to use our keyboards for their intended purpose and not just look at them lol.
Would love a group buy for WASD black spacebars, not stressed about getting coloured ones at all.
2) Modifiers - Got no use whatsoever for 1x modifiers, but I agree $1 extra is not too bad... for one set. I've ordered 7 sets, so with that and shipping it will push the order over $100. Some of the other guys have ordered 10+ sets, and it will add up for those guys.
Still, will go along with the extra $1 if it means we reach MOQ.
3) Elton, a little while ago I seem to recall you mentioned you might contact Tai Hao and ask if we could drop the MOQ to 400? Any luck with that? Even if it's an extra $1 a set, I'd rather put the $1 towards reducing the MOQ since red is pretty much at 400, and blue's not too far behind.
Thanks for all your effort maintaining this thread and running this group buy too, regardless of whether or not we reach MOQ in the end, your work is really appreciated :)
Note sure that WASD will be even close:More(Image from WASD web site.)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/J01N2wv.jpg)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/hQKAH6d.jpg)
Having the WASD Sampler Kit (http://www.wasdkeyboards.com/index.php/products/sampler-kit-1.html) (strongly recommended btw), I know the yellow is much paler than any other yellow keycaps I have. The other colours are similarly paler. WASD used to have a dark blue, but had problems printing onto it IIRC so switched to the pale blue.
So WASD space bars, although readily available in a range of colours at a competitive price, is unlikely to be a close match for the Tai Hao sets.
it doesnt appear SP has any 6.25 spacebars in their spare stock, which is a shame because that would only be a buck each plus shipping

SP is also the wrong profile. These are OEM right? ...but you guys no care?
Can I get a blue and yellow added to my order to make it 1 of each except blue and yellow, which have two?
Do you think I can pay and pick up locally? (ie, with real cash?)
Please enlighten me,
$8 / set already included spacebar + 1.25x mods ?
Can you please add another green, yellow, and blue (that makes 3 now) sets to my order. I got my coworkers hooked and now they want some keycaps. ;p
Can someone post a SP space bar with a set of oem set? For people to see the height difference.
Thanks!

I believe it is similar to a Filco, QFR, WASD, etc. Just your standard caps.
Man I didn't realize how sharp those SP spacebar are, I've heard rumours but this picture really shows it :eek:
I was thinking the same. Odd angle that SB has.

If you are referring to the last picture, the space bar is deliberately upside down.

I love the idea of paying $1 more per set but having the 1.50 and 1 modifiers to go along with the x7 space bar, brilliant add on for only $1 per set. Curiosity though, the placement for the stabs are like the original Cherry space bar right?
Can you please add 2 more blue sets to my order, should have 2 of each color besides blue which should have 4 sets now.
I need to add two more blue, two black, and one red to my order. Got a couple friends interested now. Also I'm all for another $1 for the extra keys, would there be an off center capslock too?
May I come swim in keycaps when the order comes in?

I thought some people said that the people from keypop or whatever would probably bump us up to the MOQ near the end, as they would turn around and sell them to people who missed the GB. I could be mistaken.
there's a purple?!
omg purple set...
are these "thick 1.3~1.5 mm" ??
Havent decided if I want to jump on the wagon yet...
Elton,
can you please add
1x blue
1x green
to my order!
My order is now 7 sets so it will be 20$ for international shipping correct?
Elton would have to confirm, but I would definitely believe that even a small business would want to turn these around for a quick buck, given the cost. If I didn't know the GB rate, I would buy one of these sets on eBay at $40 in a heartbeat.Seems like this group buy has slowed down. How much time left till we hit the 1 month mark?

They're gonna have to stay price-competitive, though, considering there's gonna be a large number of people with 2-3 keyboards and 6-7 sets that are going to have plenty of inverse color schemes to trade / get rid of.

The biggest problem withYep. Supplementing with aftermarket White 6.25 space bars could be a pretty reasonable solution, given the match to the legends and the bright tones. I plan on ordering a couple White & a few Black 6.25 units from WASD for my own sets.ideas like thisthis GB is the lack of 6.25x space bars., which somewhat limits the target audience for a reseller.
Think you can add 1x Green to my order thanks.
Hey guys,

We might increase our order soon but we'd like to wait out until the price finalizes $8 vs $9, spacebar options, etc.

Gogo RED!

Go all of them, but Red has really made a dash recently. I still want 2 sets of each.
I can't remember which non-black color I didn't get. Could you add that as a 4th set for me?

@Elton -- Are the pics in the OP ones you took yourself? And if not, did you ever get samples / your own sets of each of these?
Not sure, but I'll add them to your order tomorrow. Going to wake up in 2.5 hours to go fishing all day. I'll update the orders when I get home on the computer. I can't use "find" on my google drive on mobile, so it's hard to search a name through 280ish people.
Oh here is the fishing gears I ordered and arrived earlier today :PShow Image(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/06/13/yjady6up.jpg)
Is there any chance those caps are also available as blanks? I'd revise my order then and order both versions, and I'd even pay extra for the blanks :rolleyes:
I tried to express my excitement towards those keycaps as a blank version, e.g. not double shots, but in the same color, since it looks appealing to me, plus the price would allow me stock a lot of them without hurting my wallet like crazy.
The lack of a 6.25x space bar probably kills the GB for a lot of people.
Can KeyPop comment on what they are going to do with the sets? Sell for 7x space bar keyboard only? Or source 6.25x space bars somewhere? I understand if you don't want to answer this :)
What about asking SP (or WASD) for a GB on space bars to match? Even if it adds another $1 to each set, it might attract enough extra people to make up the numbers.

either him or someone else is planning to do the space bar GB trough SP, WASD don't have the matching color.
You know what add 1x red and 2x Black to my order, that should be 6 sets right?
nooo yellow is behind green, come on yellow!
If only we could get someone in U.S. to distribute U.S. orders since most people are ordering more than 2 sets which should make shipping much cheaper.

I know these are cheap and i hate to do this but i have to save as much money as i can so that i can stay within a certain yearly "keyboard budget" and i want to order a case for my GH60 without breaking that budget. I also had plans for different key caps and i have to basically choose between those and these.
on another note i hope this succeeds!

i'll sort of regret it yes but i seriously need to really be careful with my money now. i suddenly have a reduced household income and it's now conflicting with my keyboard hobby. technically i can't really afford even a GH60 case or more key caps of any kind but i will find a way...
One night with a stranger should pay for your case + keycaps. :))

Yellow is starting to look so much better.
That blue looks really nice.
Elton, could you change my current order to 2 blue, 2 red and 2 black total?
I don't remember what I originally ordered and I need to add some to my order. Could you PM me the colors I ordered and I can send you back the order change?
wow looks like it is possible to get close to matching colours for the spacebars from SP
Looks like red has hit 500! Now if we can just get more black and blue I'll be happy ;)
Elton is going to be swimming in keycaps.....It's almost hard not to just buy some, just because.

Yup, I see an upcoming group buy for green, yellow, red, and black spacebars from SP. The blue doesn't look very close to me. Maybe one of the blues in PBT would be closer? I would not be against a PBT spacebar with abs caps.
I think the closest colours are
Yellow - YCF
Green - VV (a little bit darker) or VCJ (a tad lighter)
Red - RBV
Blue - if I have to choose, BFK would be closest match..
Those colors look amazing!
Can you change my order to 2 blue 2 red and 2 yellow total elton? Thanks!
Did the counter for Red stop at 500 or do we really have exactly 500?
Awesome! In for 3.
Edit : Can you change my order to 1 Black, 1 Blue, 1 Red?
Thanks.
yellow and blue color is still 323 sets, so sad , zzzzzzzzz :(

Yellow is really the only one I care about too.
I might as well open up a GB for SP space bars if there are enough interests.
Yeah, I think I will add the extra $1 since there have been orders regardless of it. Unless they skipped that part and didn't read it.. I haven't had any messages regarding that as well..except a couple when I first mentioned it..
So I have to confirm with the colour guys..
Red - RBV
Green - VV
Yellow - YCF
Blue - BFK
Let me know.
A slightly different spacebar color will be much more off-putting than a normal white or black spacebar from SP.
I'll probably end up dropping a set if that dollar gets added.

If you still have the SP colour thingies, is it possible for you to put one or two of the sample Tai Hao key caps onto each respective SP colour thingies and take a photo, so we can see exactly how close the matches are?
That's unfortunate. Probably will be more drops if I had to guess..
Most people are probable ordering a maximum of 10 sets (e.g. 2 of each colour).Funny you should say that--I guess I just ordered the max, then. 2 of each should keep me customizing Cherry MX boards for the foreseeable future!

I'd buy one for each of my 7 sets.
As mentioned in the thread the colors probably won't match 100%.
I think a pure white spacebar that closely matches the white legends would look best. Is it set in stone that you will use SP spacebars? I mean the profile won't match and it might look weird. I know you mentioned before that WASD won't offer discounts, but I think their white spacebar would look good with all the sets and will have the same profile.

I know you mentioned before that WASD won't offer discounts, but I think their white spacebar would look good with all the sets and will have the same profile.
Yeah I can't really understand getting a "close" match with colour and no match at all with profile... I'd also prefer a couple of black WASD spacebars, because the profile at least will be correct and the black will be very close if not perfect.
Furthermore, I can't imagine a whole lot of folks decking out an entire keyboard with just one colour caps... I would've thought they'd be used for modifiers / numbers / arrows / only alpha / everything but alpha / etc, so in most cases it would be possible to get away with a black or white spacebar. But maybe that's just me...
I suspect a lot of people are planning to mix and match the Tai Hao sets. I know I am! Blue and yellow would go well together. And yellow and green. Red and yellow for a Macdonalds look? Blue and green for that special Christmas theme?
In those situations if the space bar was about the same colour, it would look fine.
The WASD colours are also very pale compared to those in the Tai Hao pictures.
Even a slightly different colour space bar stands out, as does one of a different profile.
I guess it is up to people to decide whether they prefer about the same colour but a different profile, or a noticably different colour but about the same profile.
I have no problem with the extra buck for the 1.25x modifiers, also will take part in the SP spacebars if it starts.
why do you not produce 6.25x spacebar ???????
I have no problem with the extra buck for the 1.25x modifiers, also will take part in the SP spacebars if it starts.
Actually the extra $1 will be for 1.5x modifiers and 1x modifiers.

My bad. Point is, even for $1 extra for something I have no idea about, this is a great buy.
Yeah, I don't really want to do another GB...ok forget about the SP space bar then! :D
Nothing to stop you from ordering another couple of sets of yellow, if you want ;)Sorry to say, but yellow is my least wanted, since I'm afraid the legends will blend in too much, but I went ahead and ordered two for the team!
so its 8$ for 104 keys? Where in toronto?
Sorry to say, but yellow is my least wanted, since I'm afraid the legends will blend in too much, but I went ahead and ordered two for the team!
Going to be $9 per set now for the extra 6 keys. So 110 key caps for $9.
Will the GB be extended? We've reached the red quote but I do vaguely remember Elton mentioning that the GB would only go a month.

How old do you have to be to have PayPal?
can you bump me up to 4x blue and 4x black?
Thinking on it, throw 2x yellow in that mix for me as well. I believe that should put me at 10 sets.
Okay lads, one more push for home.
Everyone that said they were waiting to see if the extra keys would be in or out for the extra dollar, they're in, so start placing orders.
Anyone who wants to be a ***** and not pay $1 extra...
You'll be getting 110 keycaps (or keyfaps as I originally typed lol) for $9. That's 8.18 (recurring) cents per keycap. CENTS PEOPLE.
Seriously, there probably isn't a better use of ~8.2 cents in existance. You cannot buy anything as useful and/or as cool as a doubleshot keycap for ~8.2 cents these days.
BUY MOAR!!!
so we cant chose whether we want to add those keys for $1 or not? Also becoz there blank i don't think i have a use for them. all the 1.5 are going to be blank right?

Come on, guys, let's step up these orders. It's nine freaking dollars a set. Isn't that just about the same price as the venti super macchiado latte cappuccino you buy at your favorite overpriced coffee joint every morning? Buy a bunch of sets--think of the customization possibilities for your current and future keyboards. And do not forget to go back and order that set of black that you neglected to order your first time through. You may think you can mix and match another color in with your existing black keys, but think about the font mismatches, people... Think. About. The. Fonts!
So many possibilities! And using the keyboard color chooser, I couldn't even make the Esc or arrow keys a different color.

Yeah those mockups look awesome. They should be copied to the OP to attract new buyers.
But it must be made clear again that these sets won't come with 1.25 modifiers and a 6.25 spacebar.

Someone asked me how I generated these mockups. I used the online keyboard color chooser: http://lab.cubiq.org/kbcc/ (http://lab.cubiq.org/kbcc/). I found this link in the OP of the "Simple Questions, Simple Answers" thread here: http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=40501.0 (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=40501.0).
Also, it's a great point to mention that these mockups are not 100% accurate since we aren't getting the correct sized space bar. But it's mostly right.

But will the profiles match up between the two different sets of keycaps?
Would it be correct to assume that this is only for a standard U.S. qwerty layout, hence not much use to someone who wants colemak letters and a U.K. number row, and would only be able to find a home for a couple of the other mod keys as it's for an ergodox?

Seems like orders have slowed down quite a bit.
Green, Black and Yellow seem to stagnate at ~320 orders. Maybe we should drop one of them by voting.
I have ordered 7 sets. If one color is dropped I'd fill up my order to 7 sets again with one of the "unpopular" colors to help them reach MOQ.
Yes, the green looks a bit "washed out". Looks like the top part is very thin and is showing small spots of the white shots underneath.Show Image(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/06/26/ahynuvyp.jpg)

Oh thanks, anyone know where I can get matching color spacebars? or at least close to them. especially within Europe.

Before dropping a colour I would perhaps ask Tai Hao if they can reduce the MOQ on the other colours, and let them know we'll do 500 on some colours as it is currently anyway. I reckon we could push for 400 orders on the others, that's still worth it for Tai Hao to manufacture.
EDIT: If that fails, I would also be happy to fill up my order of 7 sets if we drop a colour. Unless it is black which is dropped as I really only want coloured modifiers / highlights with the other colours. If black is dropped I'd have to bail on the whole GB which would be a shame.
Ok, I just made my order of 1x Black and 1x Blue, but after reading the struggle with the MOQ in the comments, I'd like to add 1x Red and 1x Green to my order. Christmas is going to be nicely themed this year.
Appreciate it.

By the way, has any decent solution for the spacebars been thought of yet? There's no way to make the 7x fit, is that correct? Is there any way to organize a Group Buy for colored spacebars that match the colors of this GB?
If someone can organize another group buy for 6.25 spacebar of matching profile and color, woudl be lovely! and ill definitely get a few more sets.
Does SP sells single spacebars with custom colors? Or would it have to be a Group Buy? I don't think I've seen the option to do so.
I don't think I'd mind the slightly different profile, as long as the colors match.
do not forget to go back and order that set of black that you neglected to order your first time through. You may think you can mix and match another color in with your existing black keys, but think about the font mismatches, people... Think. About. The. Fonts!

First of many, I should hope.
Hope you ordered some yellow!I most definitely did. :D
I hate to see the greens neglected... please add one set of green keycaps to my order.
My full order would now be one set each of blue, red, and green.
Thanks!!
How many orders are we shooting for?
I think it wouldnt be such a bad idea if everybody has to order 1 set of each color as a minimum.
Then I shall start, please add 1 set of black to my order so I have one of each color.
Thank you.
It's the lack of a source for matching 6.25x spacebars that's preventing me from ordering more.
Is there a comparison of the signature plastics profile and the Cherry OEM profile I can look at? A side by side of the spacebars would be even better.

Signature Plastics and Cherry OEM are about the same. The Tai Hao keycaps are Filco/Ducky/Cooler Master/WASD Keyboards/most keyboards OEM profile.

I think I could live with the SP spacebar. Does anyone know if it's possible to order singles from them in multiple colors or would we need to have another group buy?
How long does it normally take for a confirmation email to be sent out regarding an order?This isnt a purchase it is a Group Buy, everyone orders, when you reach MOQ (500 per colour) all the invoices are sent out, then paid. Then the keys are ordered, sorted, and shipped out to you.
This isnt a purchase it is a Group Buy, everyone orders, when you reach MOQ (500 per colour) all the invoices are sent out, then paid. Then the keys are ordered, sorted, and shipped out to you.
So do we wait until the order form per color reaches 500 orders before shipments go out?
Man, both of my colors are just a few past 500, it's going to be months until keycaps ship!
Wait, so what happens if we order two sets, but only one of them hits the MOQ? Does that result in my order being cancelled, or do I just receive one set in the end?
This has to be decided once we decide to establish a deadline. This is up to the OP of course.
Right now we are assuming all colors will reach MOQ over time, so just order more sets if you want this GB to succeed :)

Take the savings from this gb and throw it at one of those fancy titanium spacebars :P
Blargh! I caved and ordered one of each :P
So each set will have all the 1.25 mods and the 1.5 mods? Hence the $1 increase?
Sorry to be a flip flopper, but if I could change my order again that would be sick (buying a set for my brother now). So since it will be more than 3, might as well get 6! If I could add a yellow back on, add another red, and a set of black it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again!

- 2x 1
and x7 matching color stock space bar for cherry and Korean boards
This is A LOT of people that ordered. You should take into account cancellations and non-payments, so barely hitting the MOQ won't be enough.
by the look of things, invoicing should start by the end of July/early august?
invoicing done by the end of august - production done by end of sep, ship to the US for distribution and start shipping around end of October?
would this be a more or less accurate forecasting?
Please add a green set to my order (total should be 1 black, 1 blue, 1 red, and 1 green).
If some of them don't make MOQ or people back out, I think you should consider a "tax" to bring the order up to 400. Say 380 people want black, add 20 orders to make 400 which is $180. Each person would only owe 180/380 = ~$0.48 extra to meet the minimum. I'd much rather pay an extra 50 cents than not get a full set of caps. Just something to think about. The extra sets could be sold and the proceeds donated to geekhack.
i'll come in for 1 set of Yellow and Blue.
Was trying to skim the thread, any USA proxy?

I'm also assuming once we've hit MOQ the proxy for each area will also be listed? Anyone mention wanting to be a proxy for Asia? Last I heard we have someone from Singapore?
Lastly, at the current pricing, I ordered 4 sets (blue, black, red and yellow) plus international shipping how much would everything cost?
Thanks in advance guys!
Sorry I forgot about the shipping fee from the supplier to you which will be distributed to everyone right? That's the amount we'll find out when you get everything correct?
Thank you for being patient, just trying to get my ducks in a row here!
;D
anyone else in Switzerland?? I could help with proxying.

We'll cover any cancellations or changes to orders that put us below MOQ. :]

Let's do this!! :D

Nokcha with 225 sets, holy crap!
You don't have to have any money in your Paypal account as long as it is linked to your Checking Account or Credit Card. I've never had money in my Paypal account but I use it to buy stuff pretty often.
I'm going to close it on July 12. I need to finalize the shipping costs from the supplier.
For large orders, I'm going to send invoices without your shipping fee. When the key caps arrives, I'll get a better idea on how much it would cost and how big of a box I need..
Oh and the production will take 6 weeks.

Are the qunatities in the OP currently up to date? I guess I can go in for a couple more to help out lol

I believe this link: http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=43745.0
shows the up to date orders.
Only 1 more yellow to meet MOQ - come on guys!!!
Elton, you'd still be taking in orders until 12 July even if the MOQ is met.
Or would that change now that KeyPop's covering for cancelled orders?
Thanks!
[/quote
I'll close the order form. A GB is better with deadlines. Hopefully after July 12, there would be a 5% overhead on the colours.
ONLY 11 NEEDED FOR GREEEN!!!!!!!
Yup, people dropping because they see the shipping cost, but it was already shown on OP from the beginning. People don't read, eh?
Well, I made a spreadsheet to organize the payment and shipping process.
Take a look...it should have your total cost minus the shipping fee from the supplier.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0Akw9rY8oi1o6dHNERFE5dVNKOGRpazJBVHhRNXo3VWc&output=html
if these came from SP you'd have to sort, what, 200.000 keys. :eek:
Yup, people dropping because they see the shipping cost, but it was already shown on OP from the beginning. People don't read, eh?I don't see that amount in op or sheet yet. And we already pay for the select few to get their 101 sets... easy to comment on someone else's pocket.

Can you add 1x yellow to my order? Thanks a lot.
Hi, could you add 1 yellow set to my order please?
Thanks a lot
If you want local pick up and there's a shipping cost on the spreadsheet, let me know and I'll change it.
SP does offer sorting service for like $.05 per key or so. Tai Hao sorting fee is already included in the price.SP did a pretty terrible job with Klaxon, far too many errors to justify the $5 per set sorted.
Can you change my order to just one of every color? Wasn't planning on this ending so soon and I need to buy my girlfriend birthday gifts haha. Thanks.
Since this is going to have 1.5x modifiers and 7x spacebar will it also have an offcenter stemmed capslock?
elton, do you know what color code these colors are? Maybe we can set up an interest check for 6.25 SP space bars?
Or will these colors match WASD colors?

No off-centered stemmed caps lock is offered, unfortunately..
None of the colours will match perfectly as discussed before, but there might be a person that is going to do an IC on that..
Actually I think only red match really close to RBV, but still the profile difference is still there.

Okay thanks guys
Or, if profile is more important then colour matching, you could go for a black or white WASD space bar (white would better match the Tai Hao white legends).

Hi there,
I've been lurking for awhile but this looks so awesome I have to get some.
I placed an order in haste about an hour ago but now I find I'll be needing extra sets.
What's the most convenient way to add on to my order? Should I just state it here or post another order? :)

I may be dense or overlooking the obvious, but how or when do we pay? Is there a paypal address I missed or will we be billed later? I see the cost on the running total.
Where can i see whether i'm on the order list or not? I think i ordered some time ago, but i'm not sure about what exactly i ordered. Maybe i want to order even more.
Orders up to date..2 more days to go!It'd be really nice if all of our addresses weren't up for display..
I agree. Google spreadsheet be damned. :mad:Orders up to date..2 more days to go!It'd be really nice if all of our addresses weren't up for display..
Hm..they're not showing for me
No doubt that 2 of the sets I've ordered will sit in my keyboard drawer forever, but the more the merrier :D
Ok, new link here..updating OP with it as well..Holy hell what're you gonna do with 95 sets?
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Akw9rY8oi1o6dEcxQUoxR1VfaW1lNm1lQXpEek5kUWc#gid=0
Eek, on the new spreadsheet, it shows I ordered 1 set of Red, Blue, and Black. I updated a while ago to one of each color. (1x Red, 1x Green, 1x Yellow, 1x Blue, 1x Black).No doubt that 2 of the sets I've ordered will sit in my keyboard drawer forever, but the more the merrier :D
You ordered 3 sets, sir. Red, black, and green
PLEASE tell me if there's anything wrong with your order. Google spreadsheet kind of screwed up on me when I transferred it over for public view..I have 1 discrepancy between my spreadsheets..and I have no idea where the problem is..

Hi Elton,
I'll like to add order of 1 of each set.
1 Green
1 Blue
1 Yellow
1 Black
1 Red
Thanks or setting this up.
What is my current order?
I'm thinking of adding a set but I forgot what I've already ordered.
Noticed that just after I posted, I edited my post. ;DWhat is my current order?

You can check your order from the link in the OP.
I appear to have accidentally double ordered. Mind cancelling my earlier order? ;D
edit: Just to be clear, I want 2 of Each. Sorry!

You gave me 2 different addresses for the double order. Please confirm which one is the address you want. 2300 or 2301?
Has green reached MOQ?
Too bad I can't afford to order more than one of each color...
Every color reached MOQ.
might sounds stupid and i'm sure it is, i'll not cancell my order but what size are those and material which are made of those keys? i mean like R1/R4 size and ABS/PBT? any1 knows?

The caps are ABS double shot and they are OEM profile, so they are the same as the stock caps on a Black Widow for example. It's all in the first post :D
You registered for geekhack on my birthday :)
Ok, I'm going to cut this short and end the GB here and now.
I have good man marcglw from Singapore to help ship Asia's orders, so the shipping cost for you guys will change while I update things these couple days. I'll start invoicing on Sunday night after I get the shipping cost from Tai Hao.

I had just heard about this a few hours ago but noticed that the ordering period just ended. I still had the order form open so I submitted it anyway. If it really is too late then you can just disregard but if not I had put in an order for 1 black and 1 red.
Thanks for doing this.

Don't know if you guys had the Toyota ads on TV where at the end a car is parked in a scenic spot, and the driver jumps into the air with arms raised with joy and the jingle reaches a crescendo with the lyrics "Oh what a feeling! Toyota!!".
Immediately made me think of "Oh what a feeling! Tai Hao!!"
:))
can you add an extra green, red, blue and yellow set to my order please? thanks! its okay if you cant though.
Paid.
Also I'm guessing you will tell us but just want to make sure it there will be a notice about picking up in Toronto.
Thanks for doing this.

I'm sorry to do this again, but can you cancel my order of red, black and green? My paycheck was shorter this month.. :/
If you will allow it, maybe someone else can just pick up my order.
I know you can't get exact, but when do you think these would be available for pickup in Toronto? I'm going to be back and forth between Toronto and my shipping address and it might be easier/better for me to pick them up locally.
Thanks!
How long does it usually take for the invoice to show up on Paypal? I just checked and didn't see one.
Elton, whoever ordered green, do we need to pay extra? since it can't meet the 400 MOQ? Just wanna make sure. Might be I missed some posts, been busy :D
I may change addresses in mid-September. Would it be okay to change my shipping address if/when that comes?
Elton, whoever ordered green, do we need to pay extra? since it can't meet the 400 MOQ? Just wanna make sure. Might be I missed some posts, been busy :D
If you check the order confirmation link on the first post, it takes you to a spreadsheet that shows the totals, there's 418 green listed so it looks like its safely over the 400 mark.
Is it really too late to get in on this? (or ask a friend to possibly adjust his order for me?) D:. I really can't believe I let this slide since I didn't have a keyboard yet
Or if I can take over someone elses order
So what kind of shipping did you get for $1800 for 300 kg keycaps? :eek:
Is it by ship?
I think you should let me know the shipping fee sooner, because I have to collect the money from many people.
Paid.
I'm just posting to be in-line with the apparent trend -- didn't see it specified anywhere in the last few pages / since closing that we were supposed to confirm here in the thread. Elton, you might want to cut it off if you don't want 20 pages of "Paid" entries mixed in with actual comments.
Many thanks for your work, looking forward to these.
Elton,
Have you begin invoice for international guys ? ;D
I wish there were 6.25 space bars too :( I just bought 5 QFR to try out each cherry switch type. CURSE YOU 7x SPACEBAR! :P
paid and hi, first post :)
small Flat rate internationals - starts $20 - fits 1 set
medium - starts $30-40 - fits few sets
:(

What about shipping by weight? I stopped doing flat rate shipping for all but the heaviest stuff since it would end up being about twice as expensive.
Paid.
> 5 sets of keycaps
> 1 keyboard
hmm... :D
Now you need to embrace your inner GHer and get another keyboard (or two) ;)
Is it too late to order?

Wait till folks start getting massive bags of caps, it's all too easy to order two, three, four sets of something at this price. I'm sure there will be job lots for sale in Classifieds once they arrive.
I've got at least five sets on order I have no clue what I'm going to do with... :rolleyes:
What's the deadline for payment?
i payed my invoice.
Could you please add a bill at the outside of the package for my duty office? Otherwise it would mean a long travel for me.
i'm getting hit with multiple group buys at once (may have bought multiple sets from lysols gb >_<)so if Elton is cool with it I'll let someone take over my order. I ordered 1 of each color set.
lemme kno

Hi, I didn't get my invoice? I'm not sure what to do. I want to pay!
you're still sending out the invoice, right ?
Sweet, payment deadline is 3 days before my pay check. Nicely timed. Guess I have to bail.

I hope this GB will be faster than some different GB :)
Occasionally a "turbo" GB takes place, where orders are taken and payment collected within a couple of weeks. But for the most part, expect a GB to run for at least 2 - 3 months.
Sweet, payment deadline is 3 days before my pay check. Nicely timed. Guess I have to bail.
You only get paid once a month?
Seems like you just want to cancel from the start and the paycheck is just a convenience excuse. If you want to cancel from the start, just say so. No hurt feelings.
I think if the people running the GB are enthusiastic with great communication and prompt response also organized, then people would appreaciate the hard work. so payment and things would be much more efficient.
Elton fits those bills, I believe that is why this is going smooth.. I personally have total confident this GB will be a great success! :-*

Still waiting for the Asian proxy to reply?
So today I received a courteous call from PayPal inquiring about the large amount of payments into my account. BUT not to worry, if everyone pays by the deadline and I get Tai Hao's invoice to show them then all is good.

He said he's still on it and is finding himself a Korean proxy since a lot of them are from Korea.,
But I have a suggestion. What if I invoice you all first and once he gives me the cost of him shipping to you guys and it's less than my shipping cost, I refund each of you the difference? Let me know.

Yeah, no problem. Just let me know.
Anyway, I checked Singapore Post SpeedPost for estimates, and it's more expensive to ship out to Asia than it is for me. So I'm just going to do Asia myself unless he wants to just to do the Singapore and its surrounding.
I'll be invoicing Asia's orders today
Elton!! you are awesome!
marry me :)) :D ;D :eek:
Elton!! you are awesome!
marry me :)) :D ;D :eek:
Uh, overreaction to a GB?
IIRC Poom, you are a gorgeous lady, so I'll gladly say yes! :P
THis is becoming an interesting GB ;)
Well, you can pay after the deadline. No need to be dramatic..:)
I will pay Tai Hao regardless of late payments if I get enough orders in on time. Just that if people don't pay, they don't get the caps! :)
P.S.: Updated the OP with the breakdown. Check it out.

I'm not being dramatic, and I'm sorry if it came over that way. I just thought I'd put a reminder out there with all the "please pay quickly" thing going on.

just think of it as an European way of showing appreciation! :))
Not to scare you... but elton this group buy is for 283,360 key caps, holy sheeeeeeeeet.

You should take a photo of the box this comes in. Or take a picture of yourself swimming in key-caps. That would be an awesome photoe
I want to be transparent as much as I can with the time frame of getting these key caps. I don't want anyone to screw me with PayPal and do a chargeback or whatever because they feel it's taking too long (it happens). So if some people that never reads the OP, here it is. I may post this in every last page. These are just estimates, I'll update as much as possible as I get them.
The Schedule:
- Invoicing: Deadline will be July 31st, 2013 (May extend few more days for people with monthly paycheques)
- Payment Submission to Tai Hao: 1-3 days after payment deadline after I sort everything out
- Production Lead Time: Around 6 weeks for them to produce and pack each set into individual bags
- Shipping to me: After production, shipping to me will take around 4 weeks. Some may get it sooner because I'm sending some directly to some people with large orders (>100 sets)
- Shipping to you: After I received the key cap sets, I will start packing and shipping them out. May take a week to ship them all.
- So all in all, I'll get the caps maybe end of September or early October.
so that means I have until october to think about which boards would these caps go to....
or rather have until october to think about where to store these caps, doesnt seem like ill have any boards to use these with... with other GB caps also incoming.
or another option, i have until october to think about who to sell these caps to! :eek:

When was the payment delayed again and again? This isn't a store where I have the product in hand that I can ship everyone's order right after I receive payment..
My first deadline is July 31st and still is. I said I may allow late payments few days after August for people with monthly pay cheques. I will go ahead and place the order with Tai Hao either way.
Yeah, my calculation is a little optimistic.
NOTE: I will place an order with Tai Hao after deadline as long as I have enough orders paid.

i'm waiting for the update, as someone who just got into gb, doing a calculation on this is quite a shock.---not only is the payment delayed again and again till maybe August, the production time+shipping time ends up being more than 3 months by themselves, far from my wildest imagination
i came back to this thread expecting to find no time frame info, so i should have been calm when i do see some, but I am not--I'm used to 2 day shipping at Amazon and the most I had to wait was a month and a week from a seller in Hongkong, and he refunded me after the shipment never showed up, Amazon rule. Cultural shock, but still shocked.
and by the way, are you sure your calculation is right at the end? it's at least october, the 6 month production time already drags you to mid september, then the shipping to you drags you to end of October..everyone is getting it from you Mid November that was my calculation
My first deadline is July 31st and still is. I said I may allow late payments few days after August for people with monthly pay cheques. I will go ahead and place the order with Tai Hao either way.
Yeah, my calculation is a little optimistic.
NOTE: I will place an order with Tai Hao after deadline as long as I have enough orders paid.
well i don't remember when you said first so i can't quote..either way i am still shocked as i said it take so long to get a groupbuy done. especially these aren't highly special stuff, they are just highly cheap

Why are people even complaining? If you don't want to participate in the GB for whatever reason you dislike, don't join or drop out. This is a deal that probably won't be surpassed for a long time, so enjoy your dirt-cheap double-shots.if you know better then good for you, I don't know as much about what I am getting into, I would be an idiot to not ask questions

Sorry if you feel this way, but there is nothing I can do about that. The only thing I can do is ship everyone's order as quick as I can.

Yeah, really when you think about it, it's pretty amazing how these groupbuys work here. It's not like buying a product off Amazon because we don't just buy off-the-shelf stuff in bulk. We're essentially acting like most of the brands you buy from.
The product is specified and the manufacturing is sourced. We do our market research by gathering orders, and establishing pricing levels. Then we gather the capital, and place the order. The products are manufactured and shipped to the organizers who then distribute them often times to a 2nd level of distribution.
All things considered, it's pretty amazing for a company to bring a new product to market for someone to buy on Amazon in 6 months, and they don't do this on the side.
So don't feel irritated. Feel proud to be a part of it!
I understood the first part, but What do you mean by "All things considered, it's pretty amazing for a company to bring a new product to market for someone to buy on Amazon in 6 months, and they don't do this on the side. "?

I mean it usually takes a company more than 6 months to bring a new product to market (from an idea to sitting on shelves). Elton's on track to beat that, and this isn't his job. He's organizing this for free on the side. In fact, some times the folks running GB's take a bit of a loss due to people flaking out, unexpected costs they have to absorb, etc. And they have jobs and families and lives and stuff. It's easy to forget that when you're paying money for something, but he's really doing a solid job here. And he's very open and responsive.
But when this is all done, you'll have some cool stuff (for cheap) that you can't buy off the shelf anywhere and you contributed to make it happen. That's pretty awesome.

Just curious - will you be making/sourcing 6.25x space bars with matching profile and/or colour?
Given the number of sets of Tai Hao that have sold, just selling the space bars might be a profitable undertaking ;)

thanks to all. I hope there will be a group sale again then I will give up my order early enough.
So long must my old Filco keycaps still standing. ;D

i submitted an order yesterday without realizing the orders were closed.

how long have u used them? which model?
sorry, but can you refund my order? my friends decided not to buy the keycaps as they said it was too long. im really sorry for the inconvience
Ok
Finally checked my other email address and saw the invoice, paid now! I forgot to change the shipping address within Paypal, will you be using the addresses we submitted instead?
sorry it was a little late, but you are now paid.
I paid... a while ago. Not sure if I need to confirm this, but everyone else did.
The Schedule:
- Invoicing: Deadline will be July 31st, 2013 (May extend few more days for people with monthly paycheques)
- Payment Submission to Tai Hao: 1-3 days after payment deadline after I sort everything out
- Production Lead Time: Around 6 weeks for them to produce and pack each set into individual bags
- Shipping to me: After production, shipping to me will take around 4 weeks. Some may get it sooner because I'm sending some directly to some people with large orders (>100 sets)
- Shipping to you: After I received the key cap sets, I will start packing and shipping them out. May take a week to ship them all.
- So all in all, I'll get the caps maybe end of September or early October.
Am i too late to order 2 sets of blue?
I have the cash to pay right now.

Is it worth listing, maybe in the first post or two, the quantities of each colour that people have dropped out from buying?
So that anyone who arrives late to order can still grab someone else's commitment?
Or would that be too much of an organisational headache?

Right now, I'm just highlighting those who have cancelled their order and then erasing their orders so I don't mix them up with the current ones.
I guess from now on I can do that, but there is only 1 day left..so no point really unless there are a mass of late comers coming by the last day of payment..
No problem, but what about the 4/7 that were'nt his? ;)
I want a black set and a green set with 5x spacebars. What info do you guys need?
Where did you do that if I may ask?
1. All colors will be produced. Those numbers are not up to date. If some people don't pay, their orders will be covered by keypop.net.
2. Yes, 7x space bars are the only option in this GB. You could always get a 6.25x spacebar from wasdkeyboards.com. These will match the profile.

But the color is unlikely to be an exact match, based on what I've read.
Correct. I never said anything else ;)
Only black will match. Personally I'll use white WASD spacebars because all the legends are white - I think this will look decent enough.

Or you could get one from SP, where the colour will be much closer, but the profile will be out.
All read keys with a black spacebar, would it look weird?
I'll start composing a new spreadsheet for those who paid and see how many sets are paid for each colour. Green is looking bleek though..
Unless someone knows a code for Excel to easily organize this on the same sheet..

Updated with new order confirmation form. Thanks to mohitgarg with his awesome job on it. :)
I think we might just need to give it some time. Hopefully all the unpaid order will pay soon. If not we can try re-open order temporarily to get more orders in.
Or worst case scenario we might have to bargain with Tai Hao. But let's wait a bit to see if people pay up. :)
I'm expecting this one large order to pay soon. Not sure what he's up to right now....
But as of now, all colours except black have not met paid MOQ.

didn't keypop vendor guy said he will cover orders that will be canceled?
Great!
We now need only 2 yellows and 32 greens to get the ball rolling.
I'd imagine it will take less than the estimated 6 weeks to produce since that estimate was for over 2500 sets.
If everything goes as planned, I will ask Tai Hao for an invoice on Sunday night and pay them by Monday or Tuesday depending on how fast PayPal transfer the money to my bank account.
...
It's not bad at all. 69/424 didn't pay. That's about 16% unpaid orders.
That's about 16% unpaid orders.
Okay, orders officially closed now. We have met all MOQs. Will let you know when I paid the invoice.
Paypal sucks! We all know that but it sucks even more if you don't play by their rules! Orders have to be flagged as delivered. If you fail in that it may work for a few dozens but as soon as you reach hundreds of transactions they will likely close your account. Don't blame Paypal, blame yourself.

Just copying that here from matt3o's thread, maybe it's worth considering.
Update: Just paid. Now we wait for production...
So glad it's officially a go for all colors! And I'd like to echo the thanks to Keypop.net for stepping up on this one. I hope those who missed out on this GB will go to Keypop.net to get their sets. I'll definitely be recommending them whenever I can.
Thanks to Elton for all the work so far, and it's really just begun!
I am getting a full set of reds from them for a sample. Hope they come in a week!
But it's only Tuesday.I am getting a full set of reds from them for a sample. Hope they come in a week!
We we we so excited.
Did they give an ETA for full production time?
I will need a 6.25 spacebar for my poker and pure. Wondering if the colors will match with WASD spacebars.
So when is the group buy for spacebars from Signature Plastics start?
That's a lot of packing material :eek:
If you've got the space, I'd say to order it now. Nothing worse than ordering it later only to find that it is not sufficient or delayed or something else goes wrong with it.

Please post closeup shots when you have the samples. That'll sweeten the wait. :)
As for packaging (wow) I'd buy something, not all at once. Shipping will take some time for you anyway.
But all depends on the various timings and space that can be held hostage.
Who wants a bunch of leftover boxes? ;)
Elton gonna swim in a big box of peanuts before diving into keycaps :))

Rubbing of ones naked parts against key caps really doesn't sound like something one would do intentionally. Does this imply if he wears a swim suit its okay?

Déjà vu..... I think this was already discussed in this thread at some point :D
Yeah, it comes up from time to time.
Consensus is that Elton will NOT be swimming in the keycaps.
And in fact they will be pre-sorted at the factory (and probably provided in set bags or something), which would make swimming in them even more difficult.
But it helps to break the monotony of waiting for them :)
I know there won't be any updates until production is finished, but as soon as I get my set of samples from them, I'll scope what size boxes I'll need at this packaging company. I'll need 328 boxes :eek:. Maybe I'll order them and store them in my garage. Or should I order them when the keys get here?
I'm thinking of buying 2 common sizes.
1st size to fit 1-3 sets - smaller box to keep the weight to a minimal since it has to be under 1LB
2nd size to fit 4-11 sets
and the 4 outlier orders will have their own custom box.
Also a 20 cubic ft of peanuts for protection.
Have you thought about bubble mailers for the small orders and kraft paper instead of peanuts? Also, where are you sourcing these supplies?
I am curious about the logistics of these large group buys and working for a small company that ships stuff, we take shipping discounts wherever we can get.
md
Thanks for the info. They seem to be a warehouse only, so no walk-ins.
I think I'll stick with GM-Packaging since I'll need to go there and physically check the size and weight of the box. I may well have underestimated the weight of the box for shipping, so I hope I didn't screw myself!
I'm planning on printing the shipping labels from PayPal and they do offer little discounts on shipping for domestic, not sure about international though.

It works well actually, but if you just cross the border to NY or something, might be tad bit cheaper to ship all the USA orders haha. (Talking like $3-5 per order) but it is quite strenuous to drive that long. I find it is very hard to print labels for things that were not sent to me as a payment :|

It would be interesting watching the customs agents trying to understand why someone would have so many key caps.
Smuggle them in your pants? Oh wait, never mind, Rowdy will freak out again if his caps are stored anywhere near your twig and berries!
Then I'll have to pay a ton of tax just to get through! :eek:
Oh wow my girlfriend told me about like $300 per person to get into Canada if they had purchased things in the USA.
Didn't know it was for the same out >.<.
But hey, you could just say that its all packing peanuts ._.
Do you really check for it?
I hate handling customs!

Pretty sure they'll check if my car is packed full of cardboard boxes and key caps ;)
Also US customs officers are pretty strict..
This looks real cool.
Would've been nice since it's not real expansive and I am new to the mech keyboards and clueless :D
elton5354 are you from Toronto?
Do you think you will have extra sets I could buy off from you directly once they ship it to you?(Maybe someone will back out?)
no-one does back out, it is quite possible that KeyPop might have a few sets for sale.Nice!

Although I would rather not deal with international shipping, it seems like it is almost impossible not to with mech keycaps.

There seems to be much discussion on our part regarding the space bars.
Our current plans are to incorporate polycarbonate spacebars for each color(with the exception of black, having a normal black space bar or a clear polycarbonate space bar)
So red sets will have red polycarbonate space bars and yellow will have yellow polycarbonate space bars.
We will be hosting a group buy soon for the space bars once the bumble bee set group buy has met it's deadline (Aug 24th) for those who are interested.
We will also be providing standard white space bars for those who prefer not to have a polycarbonate version.
We will not be pursuing other solid colored space bars for now.
Hope this helps clear any confusion!

Thank you for presenting your plans concerning the spacebars!
I am not really sure though whether I'd like to have a single polycarbonate key on my board. Might look a bit off. Maybe it should come with a matching polycarbonate ESC key to have something else in the same style on the board.
I assume those will be made by SP and not match the Tai Hao profile right?
Yes, SP will be manufacturing them thus they will not match the Tai Hao profile but the difference should be minimal/negligible.

As mentioned let me know if you got extra that you are willing to sell locally(Toronto) :)
Elton, flip some of the caps over and take a picture of that?

What do you guys think?
Those who plan to use these caps for QFR, what's the plan for LED light keys? Simply cover them up or some how make a cut?

I'll probably either drill a small hole in the side, or just not worry about it. Caps lock is the only state key that really matters on a TKL, and it's quite obvious what the state is as soon as you start typing anything.
Edit: there is the Win lockout key too, which could be important for gaming. I never use it myself, but if I did I'd probably see if the light is visible without a window, and if not drill it.

I hope keypop gets on the molding for the 6.25 spacebar with SP, but would be nice if he can get SP to work on off center stem capslock either stepped or full touch, but I doubt the capslock will happen due to not enough interest to pay off the molding price. The space bar 6.25 for sure will get pay itself off and then some.
Looks like I'm gonna have to do stem mod on all color capslock's.
hopefully we will get the space bar and the stepped capslock in matching colors to buy after this GB is delivered

It's factory sorted. I'll be dropping by the shipping supplier store tomorrow and if all is good, I'll be bringing home all the goodies.
Got an update that the caps will be ready to be shipped by Sept 10~15. So I'll probably get them by the 2nd week of October.

Hi Elton,
All the Asia orders will be ship to proxy in Singapore direct, then proxy send to each people in Asia , am I right ?
If there is a second round we should add 1$ per set or something to pay for a mold for 6,25 universal spacebars!
But let's not get ahead of ourselves here :D

6.25 space bar mold and off center stemmed capslock, do not have to be stepped.... as long as its off center, make the set more complete, also maeby 4 more keys x1 blanks for R1, we have bunch of 104 keyboards with the extra 4 keys above the number pad, but this is not much of an issue because there can be 4 deco keys there anyways :)
There are two different standards for caps lock keys. Most modern Cherry MX keyboards have a caps lock key that looks like any other key and the stem is in the center of the key cap like on all other keys.
Keyboards made by Cherry have a stepped caps lock though, because it makes it easier to avoid hitting caps lock accidentally. On these keycaps, the stem is in the center of the higher part, and not in the center of the whole key cap.
In short: you need the right key cap for your keyboard, these are two incompatible systems.
Wow Elton I really feel for u dude when I think about the amount of caps u have to handle :(
If this GB goes well and lets say most of the keycaps are defect free, or all the defects that are reported by the buyers are taken care of by sending replacements I see no reason why there shouldn't be another GB down the road but in different colors.
I'm sure they can get different colors: purple,orange,coffee,cream etc etc etc, its a matter of buying the plastic in different colors.

Boxes I picked up today. ;) missing some Kraft paper as they were sold out.
I really regret not ordering those white and black sets now that I've seen how opaque they are over LEDs. They look great!
I wish I lived closer so I could help with all that packing--it's going to be crazy for you for a while: you should hire some helper gnomes :D

no, how can u have white keys when the legends are white....
Oh boy, just 2 months more!
Frankly, I would have been happy to pay $1 more, for $10/set, just to get the proper space bars. ABS space bars are always dying.
So, uh, which keys are not going to be compatible with the QuickFire Pro?Show Image(http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/CM_Storm/Quick_Fire_Pro/images/keyboard.jpg)
Well I was speaking with Tai Hao earlier about 6.25x space bars. They are now willing to make the tooling for it.
Gosh, they should've told me earlier because before they were just saying no, no 6.25x space bar!
1x6.25 spacebar: USD2.00 / per unit
MOQ: Total 2000pcs
Color Option: Black/Red/Blue/Yellow/Green
MOQ per color: 400~500pcs
Tooling Time: 1 month
Lead time: 1 month after finishing the tooling
Maybe another GB? But it's going to be hard to get to that MOQ.
I don't think hitting MOQ would be a major problem, because almost everybody would love a matching spacebar for standard keyboards.
Hell, I'd take 2 spacebars per set because they are the first thing that get's shiny. If we barely can't hit 2000 pieces, maybe keypop can come to the rescue again ;)
I'd prefer to extend this GB and wait for the spacebars, because starting a separate GB would cause so much extra fees, shipping costs etc. that it isn't really worth it for a couple of spacebars...
I think you should start a one week poll to check if the majority is in favor of getting those spacebars done and if they are ok with extending this GB or not.

I, for one, do not agree to extension.
Organizing such a mass is not easy.
Some people just shoot and forget, or rather expect a slip from the post office in roughly N months.
This would also mean a change of plans for this GB - which is statistically not a good approach to doing things.
Extension could mean another few months to this GB. Also some orders wouldn't fit extra space bars due to the weight limit and would cost extra for shipping (orders of 3 sets and 7 sets).
I'll open a GB later today for the space bars and skip the IC to save time.

Damn you Tai Hao!!
I'm in for the space bar GB, unless Keypop works out something better in the meantime.
Tai Hao really screwed up on the spacebar thing, having had this as an option from the start might have gotten even higher number of orders for the set, a proper pricing, less time wasted, less deliberation, and alot of other things

Agreed. This is exactly what went through my head as soon as I saw the 6.25 gb thread I would have bought more colors if I thought I could have got a matching space bar.... But, going forward, I think you have to do a separate gb as elton is doing.
I doubt MOQ will be a prob. Like someone said above, many people will buy extra spacebars simply because they wear out fast.

Sorry, this group buy is closed and in production.
Once everyone starts receiving their sets you'll probably be able to buy these from the Classifieds section.
does the review means that all of us will recieve keycaps shortly?
That's too bad, so we will hopefully be getting them late October/early November then?
Okay some disappointing news this morning.
Due to sorting and bagging over 2200 sets, the shipping time is delayed until Sept 20~25. It's taking them longer than expected to bag each set.
Wait, Elton did you get t hem to your house?

Yeah, that would make sense.
I just saw the post count and thought he is another one who can't read the OP and thinks he can still join this GB :p
does the keycaps are already in ur house? or still in production?
- Why did you buy this many sets?
No! Reflecting on my impulse buys will only lead to sadness and self-loathing!
As for my next keyboard, hmmm...
Hey, Elton, I just changed my shipping Address. What would be the best way to relay the change to you?
Do they not want any more business?
Aww, this means this is gonna be the last tai hao group buy
Aww, this means this is gonna be the last tai hao group buy
Yeah but its gonna be hard to hit the MOQ which is 4x more
We're still discussing about this right now. I will let you guys know if it's good news ;).
But for now, shipping of these sets should be sent out by this week.

Also some more news regarding new colours from TH.
2000sets – USD6.50
1000 sets – USD7.80
500sets – USD8.50
300sets – USD9.00
300 MOQ is the lowest they will go for now.
If there are interests in the near future for different colours, I'm more than happy to do another group buy for new colours. This time with the right space bar for 104 key cap set.

Not anymore. It didn't work out, so I'm handling them.
Nearly a month sea - interesting.
Maybe this (http://www.marinetraffic.com/ais/shipdetails.aspx?MMSI=636014223).
Also some more news regarding new colours from TH.Elton that's great news and prices are good for the MOQ of 300, I think that's our sweet spot for sure and 500 MOQ is already pushing it. Any chances for the Off Center stepped or full touch CapsLock with the new color sets?

What other colors? Any possibility of doing any color combo besides white on color?
Well I haven't gone into much details with TH about the different colours and colour combos. I'm not going to make any IC/GB any time soon. At least not until this and the space bar GB is over.Elton you should give another month cool off time after people receive their space bars. Here is the question again, any chance for " Off Center Stemmed CapsLock"? no matter if its full touch or stepped, although I like the stepped one TH have, looks like Dell 101W CapsLock.
You really want that, don't you? I just don't see enough interest in it to add $2 or so to each set. Especially for future GBs, as I'm not going to add the extra key caps as I did for this one.

Seems kind of silly to increase the cost of the sets by 20% for just one key to me.

Considering that the original set was $6.50 and was bumped a couple of times (for valid and sanctioned reasons) to $9, making it $11 for something that few want would be a bit silly, I agree.
Wonder how likely it is that Tai Hao would do a run og just centre-stemmed caps locks (if they can even make them)?
I think people accepted the extra keys this run because it was only $1 more. But for $4 more I don't think there would be enough demand to meet the MOQ.
Oh another random idea. If we have another future runs we can probably do inverse colour so we can make our own CCnB/CCnG/CCnR/CCnY sets.
:P
To me, the more keys offered, the better. BUT, instead of nitpicking over caps locks, I'd like to see legends for the WIN keys and Menu key. Maybe they have another DS mold that could be used if they can't make those keys so we'd have something there instead of blanks?
Either way, I can't wait to see these sets. I almost wish I had ordered more... Thanks for running this elton and for the updates.
I received the call from Tai Hao HQ.
They will send me items directly.
In fact, My place is very closed to them. lol

:P
Then they will have to do the CC keys with different color of legends, for example you will need a whole set of CC only with red legends, then a whole set red keys with CC legends.... so in order to get CC with blue,red,green you need to buy 6 sets.
Another thing is does TH wants to do any other color legend beside white? Maeby we should see what color of keycaps they can offer for the next GB with white legends before we jump into requesting special things with them.

I have not been on the forum all that much till recently. I am guessing there are no left overs on this GB that can be purchased are there?Nope, been closed for over a month. Keypop has many orders that will most likely be on their site when they get them. You can also be sure a couple will show up on the classifieds shortly after we all receive as well.
hey elton, just curious who you using to clear customs on this shipment??
or did the factory give you DDP terms on this (delivery straight to your door)?

Can we still get in this buy or no?
Yes, I saw it and I stated that some orders may not fit in their original orders because of box size and weight limit. Especially orders over 7 sets as I underestimated the weight and cost, I'm paying the extra shipping for those. I'm not sure if adding more space bars will make it over 3.3 LB which goes to another level of cost.don't give ur self headaches and just ship everything as u planned in first place.
Also, my house isn't that big, so if everyone wants me to hold their sets, my house would be cluttered for months..
I'll help you out with space elton if you need rofl wouldn't mind having 10000000000 keycaps to hang out witih

I was not able to get in on this GB, but I am interested in these keycaps.
If anyone got extra sets and is willing to sell me a set (or two), please PM me. I am most interested in Blue and Red, but I would also be interested in a Green set.
Thx
I received the BIG shipment today - 20kg package! Will start the sorting tomorrow.
Thanks elton for this amazing GB.
And by the way, the Green sets look very good in person, just saying.
I'm glad I ordered 1 of every color and then some. Now all I need it the spacebars for them.

Oh I placed the order already (and then some extra). My only worry....when does the purchasing of keycaps stop when you have over 10 sets already.

Every time I see this hint of keycap swimming, it reminds me of Dom Deluise as Caesar in "History of the world part 1". After he has a treasure bath, he removes something that got 'stuck', hands it to a slave and says 'wash this'. I just know I would end up with those keycaps :P So as Rowdy says, no swimming please.

Worth $9 a set it sounds like? :D So excited to receive these.
Need more picture updates. ;)
I dunno if it's been mentioned....but the blank caps are doubleshot....which is pointless but neat!Show Image(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/10/26/a9ymy6ag.jpg)

Dat yellow! :cool:
so what we do is just check the doc for shipping info and await it? i remember you mentioned in the summer we had to do something with the shippping address confirmation or whatnot?
@elton5354
What is your schedule for send out the caps ?
I wonder if one could carefully dremel their own design into the mods. That would be kind of cool!I have a keyboard that did this on some of the keycaps. It works a lot better on thick first-shots, but may still be possible here. You'll have to etch it pretty deep and you may as well infill it at that point.
I do a lot of shipping for KITEAID, so I feel ya on the label printing. It is really annoying, especially if you have to weigh every box. I am assuming you are guestimating on weight and dimensions?

I weighed each box for each sets and I only have 3 different sizes, so I don't need to weigh every box. Some people's address are different than their PayPal so I'd have to change it. Asia's addresses are confusing lol

Printed about 90 labels today.. Took longer than I thought it would. Even packing boxes seemed easier ;)It's meeeeeeee on the label

I had low hopes for these caps, so all these posts had better stop because they're building them up. They just look killer. Now only if I could remember what colors I ordered...
Just letting some of you know that I'm having the first 100 down the list picked up by my local PO on Tuesday. I would do Monday, but they only pick up from 12pm-5pm and I'll be busy that day.
Next pick up will maybe be Thursday or Friday. Yeah, I think this will take a bit long than a week I guesstimated. Maybe 1.5 weeks to ship them all out, so some time next week.

Anyways good job elton, everyone loves you :)
The 7x spacebar, after cutting alps mount, is not mountable at all.
It seems like the stem of the spacebar is not properly aligned with standard 7x spacebar. :(
The stem of the spacebar is about 1-2mm away from keyboard mount.
Hopefully that's not an issue with the 6.25x sized spacebar...

since I only have ANSI sets.
The 6.25x space bar shouldn't be a problem since it's a copy of the EK's one.
That's very unfortunate with the 7x space bar. I should've asked for the dimensions first. I assumed that the size of them were universal. Not sure what I can do at this point.

been counting the caps at work, no missing caps! I did find a single strand of curly, dark hair on the inside of the 7x space bar but that didn't bother me too much :p :p :p
no screens yet as I am working atm... sort of, lol.

The caps come pre-sorted by Tai Hao--it'll be difficult and very time consuming for one person to determine if one in a dozen sets has a missing cap.

I guess it's just fun to rag on the canada post. Americans have overnight shipping and cool **** like that but it takes 2 days for the post to get something 5 hours away.

There will be plenty of these in the classifieds and some vendors bought some as well. They are just shipping out so expect to see them soon.
Ladies and gentleman, sorry for the lateness in reply.Thanks! I really like how all the colors turned out. Green seems much better than in the preview, yellow, too. Looks they they reviewed the colors a bit before making these. Looking forward to getting these, and hoping the space bars will be exact matches.

Yeah, USPS has been on it the last few months. I have seen packages sent from the west coast to the east coast in 3 days (cheapest shipping option).
Now's a good time for USPS shipping because Fedex and Passenger airlines sell their empty cargo space to the post office. It's a pretty slow time for both so there's lots of extra room to be sold. In about 2 weeks, those same packages would be going by truck when those airlines start hitting peak volumes for Thanksgiving -> New Years. Valentines and tax time are the next major bumps in shipping for the year.The More You Know

Those pink caps would look good with the blue Tai Hao caps, in my opinion. As in, pink and the rest solid blue.

Tai Hao and GMK's are bought to stay for good, waiting on Elton to be done with the space bars, and hopefully he can gather some patience to try and run 2nd GB with different colors + white legends.

Why disappointing?
Elton will most likely want 2-3 months break after the space bars are delivered.
[...] looks like we will keep the $9 price. Elton will most likely want 2-3 months break after the space bars are delivered, [...]
Can anyone tell me how these colors compare to the WASD colors? Perhaps pictures? :-)
I need to get some colored space bars that fit my board and wondering if any of the colors actually match or if I should just go with white since white matches everything.
Elton will most likely want 2-3 months break after the space bars are delivered.
Did Elton ever say he is going to do a Round 2 in the future?
It's a lot of work to do a massive GB like this. Maybe somewhen else can make Round 2 happen - I don't think Elton would mind.
Elton can then comeback with Round 3 and extravagant colors :p
I have space bars coming and I don't have sets. Pm me to discuss.
You missed my space bar group buy?Yes, I've been MIA as I've been extremely busy with school and also some family stuff. :-[ :)) It's okay I WILL survive.
Oh, and I won't be shipping the rest until Thursday...sorry
Group buys are stressful, so I wouldn't be surprised if he took a year off. I'm just amazed that he's been as awesome with it as he has. He must work in logistics or something.2nd This. I'm extremely pleased. Want to thank you Elton. Also these keys are extremely nice. My WPM is at least 100% of what it was before I got them :thumb:.

If you are wondering if they match, I can tell you that they don't. The TH sets are very rich in color while the wasd keys are more pastel in color and also horrible in general.I wouldn't say the WASD kits are horrible, pastel colours do have their place. I'm referring specifically to the red (which isn't pastel) but it's more due to the fact that I live in the UK so I need to find a matching ISO enter from somewhere :P Might just end up getting white mods if the red match is bad and the white isn't though..

Isn't this more to do with the clear switch than keycaps themselves? I've heard of this complaint with other keycap types as well.
Got mine today. :)
Unfortunately I am not as impressed as I was hoping to be. Don't get me wrong, the colors are awesome, but there is more variance in the thickness of the keycap walls than I would like.
Is there a correlation between the difference in thickness of the caps and the feel when it's being typed on?
The space bars however I have a problem with. It's too thin and there are no support on the underside like they have on the 7x. You can easily bend them with a slight touch. I'm afraid they will break during shipping...that's why I'm trying to pack these in a single file in the bubble envelopes.
Here are some better quality pictures of all of the sets:

I suspect he just picked up the 6.25x space bars directly from Elton.
I agree that for the price, you can't get better keycaps than this...

Does this set include two space bars as in the photo? Are they one for winkeyless and the other for winkey?

They are Tai Hao's key caps, so OEM.
I'm still negotiating the price, but they have increased it due to various reasons.
If I do this, it will be 104 key cap set with 6.25x space bar.

They also have made the tooling for the window and menu key caps to be double injected (1.25x).
I'm not sure about ISO enter key since you'd need a short left shift as well and some other 1x keys to be included to have a fully supported ISO layout.

depending on the price.... i might just want 1 of each.... dear lord, my wallet... i will have way more keycaps than keyboards o_O
TH is supporting the suggestion of coloured modifiers with white alpha key caps, but it's kind of redundant now if people want the inverse colours of their original colours.Hey Elton if we go for the 2 tone color, maeby just maeby we should go with different colors than round 1? It would not make sense to have the same keys made all over again, pretty awesome that they have made the tooling to be DS for the menu and win keys, that's great news. If this turns into GB and people vote for all white keys sets with the same color legends of round 1 keys, maeby every set can include the 2 win keys and page key 1.25 to replace the blanks we got with the round 1? if that's not too much trouble and people want this and prices don't skyrocket crazy, then this will be another interesting GB for sure.

If you really run a Round 2 could you get those keys made to replace the blank ones from Round 1? Would make these sets perfect (for their cost).
If Tai Hao's next step is Cherry profile thick ABS keys there is nothing to improve ;)

Got mine today! will check for completion later.
Can't believe this GB went by so fast as it did, major thanks to everyone involved.
Well mine said 'Surface' so I'm assuming it went by boat, that would mean it would most likely go through Rotterdam.Got mine today! will check for completion later.

Also those who missed out keypop release their sets to the public for purchase
Ugh. That keypop price.

Sad i didnt have the money to join the GB :'(

Really it's not too bad. If you take the $9 sets plus the space bars, plus the shipping they paid on both, they're not exactly making a killing on them. I mean I don't know where else you can get a full set of doubleshot ABS for <$25. Even a blue set sans 6.25 spacebar on ebay is listed at more.
I got my spacebars today, but still not the rest of the caps... Is that normal?Yes, seeing sets were shipped by ground and bars by air.
BTW, the spacebars look great!

I can't say I am that bothered but my blue set has 2 'D' and no 'S' :))

oh whoops. thought the 7x was a 6x...my bad
Something I spotted the instant mine arrived — the massive asterisk symbol (which I love). I recognised it immediately as matching the corresponding keycap of my Oriental Tech OK-100M keyboard from 1991 or 1992.
Here's a comparison — NIB 1991/1992 keycaps top, group buy keycaps below:
So there we have it. 22 years of double-shot production! I've since realised that a lot of keycaps match exactly, including the Focus FK-2001 and at least one OmniKey. Other keyboards match sufficiently to suggest the same keycap OEM.
Looks like we've been using their doubleshots for a long time without realising who they are.
Of course, it could be that another company set up doubleshot tooling with the exact same font, symbols, spacing etc, but that seems rather unlikely. Most keys match, including the exact size and shape of the arrows on the arrow keys.
Yes, they seem to have done this for a long time:

They do produce ALPs key caps. From the beginning they gave me an option of either MX or ALPs.
do i hear an alps GB?
Yes, but there's been a long-standing Alps cap set thread started by Calavera. When we have this company that already makes alps caps and doesn't charge a lot for their sets. So say instead of $9 a set, you paid 3x as much to meet the MOQ for Alps caps--it'd still be cheaper than anything from SP. Even 4-6x as much. Now divide their MOQ by 6, and you might have enough people ordering some shiny new Alps sets.And everyone would get 6 sets as well, not just pay 6 times as much for a set.

Much keys, so color, wow.
Elton, I have received my spacebars, but not my sets (they were shipped in November to Spain), is that normal? I guess that the surface mail is a bit slow and probably I don't have to worry about it.
BTW, the yellow colour of the spacebar has surpassed all my expectations!

I think that's perfectly normal. Nobody in EU got his sets before the spacebars.
I got mine a week after the spacebars so just be patient :thumb:
Hi,
I have just received my sets and I seem to have a missing top row "*8" key and two top row "%5" keys in yellow.
I would appreciate it if any thing could be done, otherwise, I am very happy with them!

I just wanted to confirm for people in the Philippines in this thread that the key caps have arrived. I received a notice from the post office about a parcel that arrived from Canada. It's the only thing I'm expecting (that's coming from Canada), so I'm sure it's my 4 sets!
On to the bad news, now I have to wait until the 26th to pick it up... crap! Postal office is too far away and I'm just doing too much stuff for the holidays!

We just conducted a Tai Hao group buy here in the Philippines. There were 18 of us in the buy; everyone got their sets three weeks ago through a meetup. Now, we are all just waiting for the spacebars. I wish you'd have joined us, though. ;)

Hopefully early next year.
Anyone else in Australia got theirs yet?
Yep, still waiting for mine as well.
Annoyed I didn't get in on the space bar GB. My QFR space bar will look awfully out of place. :rolleyes:

Oh yes. Would definitely go for either.
Yeah, I only had a handful reporting to me about missing keys. If I make a thread, where should it be?
If anyone is interested. News on TH in Chinese.
Yeah, I'll wait until February then I'll contact TH for replacements. The only problem is shipping cost...looks good men, but having GB for one set might not justify the shipping costs after all.... We need GB for bunch of sets like the first GB such as the set you posted, classic,Dolch look alike,coffee and cream.... Since u say shipping cost have gone up, then would make sense to run GB for 4-5 sets at once agree?

No what I meant by shipping cost is a problem is me paying for missing keys especially for international orders. They're like $5-$6. US is about $3. Domestic is about $2. That is including cost of bubble envelopes.
Yeah I agree that shipping should be shouldered by the people who want t have keys replaced.
Sure, the looks awesome as well. But my main priority are reverse Round 1 sets so we can build the poor man's CCnG, Red Alert, Raindrop etc. sets.

I haven't received any detailed information yet. I've talked to True Custom (the one running this) about this yesterday and asked him to send me more information. Right now I'm reading off the poor translation from Google.
I'm sure they have double shot windows and menu keys now though.

Well, sorry for the delay for those with missing key caps. I had Tai Hao agree to ship each person their missing keys for free. I'll be providing them the info tonight when they're back to work.
Received my missing caps but instead of getting 1x blank red I received 1.25x.
It was their error since my excel sheet I sent them for the missing keys has the 1x blank under your name. I hope they reship that key as their expense as it was their error :)
Not sure if they will do the same with your group buy Harry. They said it was a "special" circumstance for me
Elton May I ask you something ?
Did u tell taihao you are getting the keycaps for gb purpose?
I didn't tell them about the gb stuff cuz I fear they wouldn't give us the lowest price as all of us are direct consumers. But for your case I suppose they actually know that was a gb? Or they wouldn't sent missing caps directly to customers I guess
I'm considering to tell them directly about this. Maybe they would notice about our needs

Yeah, I had them know that I was doing a group buy.
It might be different now since they are getting a lot of orders for their key caps after my group buy, so they jacked up the prices and have a lot of buyers from businesses. They might not give their lowest prices now because of businesses might complain to Tai Hao about not maintaining the retail cost and what not to keep competitive..
Can't see myself on the new spreadsheet. I was paid on the old one :/ ... Any news Ghostofharry?
