[GB] 1976 - Flashback to the Colors of the 70's (SA Row 3) --- Shipped

[hermith]

Just got a mail from them now, apparently 3/4 have been shipped to Engicoder, and 1/4 have been shipped to me. Though I only got a tracking number for the one shipped to me. I think the one that has been shipped to me was only one (of two) of the Nordic sets. So if all goes well I should be in the clear.

Good news!!

[Steveenn]

Mine are out for delivery today, and I'm so excited!

[mashby]

My order arrived this afternoon and I couldn't resist putting them on my board. This set ousted my beloved Penumbra (at least for now). Have to say I'm really digging the scoops!

[hashbaz]

That looks amazing, might have to put mine on my Poker.

I didn't want to waste more time dawdling at the house to put mine on the board.  I'll show off mine tonight probably.  Or maybe I will wait.  I just got a notification that the hydrodipped case I got to match this keyset is on its way. 

[hashbaz]

Mine unexpectedly arrived in the mail! Will find some board or other to put them on later.

Thank YOU my good sir. Such a creative design and like nothing I've seen, so thank you for putting this group buy together.

My only hope is that we can get some excitement for the Add Ons GB  that you're running.

+1 for the Add Ons GB... 

[FingerPunch]

I got mine as well.

The colors are even better in person. They are quite impressive to look at. Very rich and vivid contrasts. Just beautiful.

[meirish]

Got mine this afternoon and put them on my QFR:



Thanks for much for running this!

[Jolikki]

Looking good Mine's in LA now.. it has a looong way to go.

[Steezus]

Looks like I'll add this set to my want list, pictures of the set on a 60% look so nice.

Looks like a super nice set!  Thank you for sharing the photos.

I loaded up the set and took some pics.  I had to take a couple, since all of the colors wouldn't come out correctly at the same time.







I blame the dim lighting in my apartment.

I was also messing around with color balance, trying to solve the afore mentioned problem, when I accidentally stumbled on this, and it looked cool.

[Steveenn]

I got my sets in the mail today.







I haven't seen an Ergodox set here yet, so here you go.







This is my first SA keycap set. I really love the feeling of the smooth caps. These colors really work well together, much better than I had imagined with just the renders to ogle.

[kittykatmax]

According to the U.S.P.S., mine are due to arrive....yesterday. /sigh  Really, they have the worst tracking ever. 

My keycaps supposedly left Washington State on the 12th (received on the 11th at the post office), so hopefully I get them at least by Saturday.

Friday Update:

This morning, still hasn't arrived anywhere or been scanned since it left Washington.  Having driven from the West Coast to Illinois more than once, and knowing it is a two day drive for non-truckers, I can only conclude they decided to drive it around the world West (amphibious truck?), perhaps stopping in Hawaii or Europe along the way.......or perhaps they went back to using the Pony Express, using miniature ponies (short legs, so trip takes longer).  Also still showing it should have arrived two days ago.

I would rather pay more for UPS and get reliable shipping.

Hang in there. Maybe mine on the same truck/aircraft as yours, because my tracking says the same. Called USPS and the conversation with their crack technical staff went as follows: (BTW, was a callback because expected hold time was 25-37 minutes.)

Me: I checked the online tracking and my package was last scanned leaving Washington on the 12th with and expected delivery on the 13th, but it hasn't arrived.
USPS: Can I have you tracking number:
Me: Oh, sorry, let me get it. I though you would have it. I entered it when I called before and requested a call back. I thought your system would have it for you.
USPS: Went we are passed the call, we don't even know its a callback.
Me: Ah, nice system....(give her the tracking number)
USPS: Hmm....(typing)... It left Washington on the 12th..
Me: (after she says nothing else) It hasn't arrived, do you have anymore information?
USPS: No its not due until tomorrow.
Me: But its marked Priority 2-Day.
USPS: 11...12...13...Oh well sometimes they take an extra day.
Me: Yes, today was the extra day, it still hasn't arrived.
USPS: Sometimes it takes a little longer. Wait another day.
Me: Ok, thanks for your help.

So basically online tracking is much more useful than calling.

I just realised that the slash is actually a backslash on the ISO 7 key. Not a big thing, but anyways.

[hermith]

Oh.. I kind of wish you never said anything, can't un-see that!

Always.  Those people are just sitting in front of the same website you're using.

I hate to break it to ya, but I'd put down good money that they lost the package.

My fear too....worse than just mine, I am proxying for Swill and hermith. 


Update: Tracking finally updated. Says out for delivery today...disaster averted.

[Data]

1976 received rather unexpectedly yesterday.  I was thinking it would be another day at least.  I haven't even had time to put them on a board yet, but I can already tell they are amazing.

Thanks for putting this together, engi.

Edit:  If you paid for USPS Guaranteed 2-day Delivery then you can request a refund and USPS has to honor it.  The only catch is, SP has to request the refund (they are the shipper) and then you can haggle with them about getting it credited back to you.

Thanks for the info..I think it was their Priority 2-Day which in the fine print essentially says " 2 days....probably, may take longer"

That is my fear.  What good is tracking when it's pretty much a black hole between departure and arrival?  Fed Ex Ground can be like that, too.

[hashbaz]

Haven't seen a lot of full-size shots. I'm loving the numpad. 

[absyrd]

I thought this was unicorn puke at first, but it is just too organized with the contrasting then matching legends. Kind of has a flow to it, if you know what I mean. Not bad at all!

JUST got an update.  My shipment bypassed my state and is in Indianapolis.  So I should (hopefully) get them no later than Monday.

[Ngt]

It is indeed prettier than I thought it would be. Well done all of you who purchased it!

[engicoder]

Good news! Caps finally arrived.

[cuongcan2020]

If anyone ends up not keeping this set, please pm me.

[FingerPunch]

I'm so excited to see more pics of people's setups! Especially the people with custom cases planned.

I bought extra blanks for a split matrix/planck style keyboard, where I plan on using an alternate horizontal color scheme. It might take me a while to get pics of it up though.

Is it just me, or do these keycaps look way better in person than in the photographs? It's like my eye can pick up a wavelength that the cameras can't. Maybe my monitor is the problem.

It's more likely than you might think.

I'm acting as proxy for a couple people, ordered a few and got a free set for every deal that reached 25 orders.

It is actually a limiting phenomenon of all displays.  It's called colorfulness.

I spent entirely too much money on this groupby (already), so a bunch of that is me...

[IMBoddy]

If anyone has a set including color numpad PM me I will totally buy!

[FingerPunch]

If anybody just happens to have an extra set of blank home keys (unlikely), or an unused set of blank bump homes, I will buy.

I have a custom arrangement color mismatch issue I didn't predict (need homes of same color).

[Glod]

this was not a set for me but i am really happy you guys pulled this through, its very unique, good job everyone

[tom.smykowski]

put mine on a v60 mini. alternate gradient. The brown goes well with my wrist rest.

Great photo. It does look great with that wrist rest!

[swill]

gotta get my ass in gear and build my new board so it is ready for this set.  im too damn slow.  haha...

edit: that means there is no rush to proxy for me engicoder, i am on vacation for the next week and the board this is going on is not even built, so im not stressed about these right now.  get some rest and think about it in a couple weeks. 

[kurukato]

I'm loving it
