Going to pick up some of these, what are the chances of Titanium in the future?Theres definitely a chance, however it is much more expensive to mill and manufacture titanium.
Hey man. I will have a quick chat with my manufacturer and see if some can just be set aside. It shouldnt be a problem since anodising is usually last.
Hey man, I talked to you briefly over at reddit, but I'm curious if I buy a few caps, could I arrange for my orders to be un-anodised? (from the Reddit thread, these were to be anodised but the oxide layer will not be dyed i.e. just clear anodise).
Asking as I would like to try and get a few and find a local coating shop to anodise them in different colours to match the SA sets I have, and I'm not sure if caps can be re-anodised without abrading away the factory-anodised layer.
Let me know! :thumb:

Okay I had a chat and that's no problem at all! Just PM me when you have placed your order and the quantity ordered (just to confirm) and I will leave a note for the manufacturer.
MoQ Has been hit :eek:
Thanks everyone who joined in to the sale! For those who haven't, dont worry you still have about 6 days left.
Alright, the store is functioning again. Sorry about that everyone.

Hey Zisb I'm the one who asked about getting some of the caps in my order in a raw non-anodised form, I think I sent you a PM but wasn't sure, could you confirm?
Thanks! :thumb:

That's a hell of a thock. Didn't realise it would make such a difference!
Just noticed you're in Melbourne, where about's?
Could show you in person if you want :) Or come around to whenever me and a few other Melbourne GH'ers meet up :D

Yep I'm in Melbourne, well, SE Suburbs anyway. Didn't realise there was a Melbourne GH group - details? Would be keen to come along at some point. I have a newborn to contend with right now though, so spare time is scarce. Anyway, I ordered a few of these though, so if timing is right I'll grab em at the next meet, so you don't have to post em.

Very excited for this Zisb.
Zisb sent me one of the prototypes and I can confirm that it feels amazing.

Let me know when the next catch up, I'll try to make it down and say g'day.
£13 for a singular keycap? I must be metal.FTFY :))
Ordered.
The buying period is now over. A great thanks to everyone who participated. ;D
Payment will be made to the manufacturer within a week. ( Transferring money takes time)
From there it will be a 3-4week manufacturing time.
I will keep you updated!
Any update? :)
Any update? :)
A tad soon, mate.
I hope you were able to withdraw the money from the account before they shut it down.
so after PayPal protection ends. That's assuming if paypal doesn't **** around with the account.
I'm seriously in shock. I've heard about BS like this, but I've never really seen a recent instance of it. I'm shocked they didn't try and shut me down while I was collecting for 7bit. I love their arbitrary behavior and enforcement.
This also happened to the guy who runs the monthly geekhack keys GBs (forgot his handle) such a shame, I hope you get it sorted out sooner than 180 days!jdcarpe?
Manufacturing is now complete. I should revive them early next week, from there shipping can commence.looks pretty dull compared to the renders. It doesn't have a gloss finish?

DONE
Phew, everything has now been 100% shipped. Thanks everyone.
Unfortunately it doesn't seem that I was able to get tracking numbers for this shipment. Auspost is fairly cryptic sometimes.
Thanks everyone for your support and I really hope you enjoy.

Yee-Haw. Thanks for doing this.
Really looking forward to these... I have a Planck waiting for them.

Did you also send out shipping confirm? I didn't get any.
got shipping confirm from japan post..is this you? else i haven't seen anything
Mine arrived today :>. Here's a crap photo of them on my Filco:Show Image(https://www.dropbox.com/s/zepmj0p8l4o71wg/2016-10-17%2020.10.24.jpg?raw=true)
They're a little less blindingly shiny in person, heh.
Overall: They're damn nice. The sound, feel, and heft of them are all amazing, infinitely nicer than the cheap zinc metal caps you can find around.
I do have some slight gripes, in that the anodizing isn't quite perfect: there's some definite surface colour/visible texture changes and banding in places, but it is only visible at certain angles & lighting conditions and doesn't affect the tactile texture, so not a big deal. One of the texture changes is a thin band around 1-2mm up from the bottom of the caps, which is present on each of the four I have... I actually kinda like it, as it adds some character to them, but annoyingly it is much less noticeable on one of them than on the other three.
Keycap wobble is more than GMK but about the same as other SA R3 caps, although it does feel a tad more noticeable due to the significantly greater cap weight. I'm OK with it.
They'll probably end up on my Duck Black Bird once that arrives and gets built.
I'm really sorry about the anodising on that Cap, I tried to sort out everything but since it's only at an angle it's easy to miss some.Nah, don't worry about it. Like I said I'm pretty happy with them, and the anodizing difference is really only noticeable if you're staring closely at the cap while angling it back and forth under a bright enough light.
I can send you out a replacement if you would like.
As for the wobble, it's just the profile and weight. If it were, say, DSA there would be significantly less issue. I'm considering a fully custom profile in the future to eliminate this issue.

Hello! I have two quick questions:
1. Are these the hybrid topre/mx stems that are circular which fit both switches?
2. Will there be another group buy for these?
Hello! I have two quick questions:
1. Are these the hybrid topre/mx stems that are circular which fit both switches?
2. Will there be another group buy for these?
Yo,
1. These are designed for MX. They will 'fit' into a topre stem, however they wont really function properly, although I do belive you can jury-rig it to function with bluetac or something silly like that.
2. Maybe however I have a significant pickle: I can get a simmilar price again, although the quality wont be as high as I want it to be, or I could raise the price a bit and have a significantly better cap quality wise.
If there is anything else let me know :)

Yours doesn't have the line at the bottom of the cap? 3 of mine have a line 3/4 down the cap that goes all the way around. I actually thought it was part of the design. Anyone else have that?
I just got my 4 in, and they are amazing. I just need to figure out what to do with them!

I know see two comments from other folks in the Bay Area having received theirs... I'm getting worried now. That wasn't a cheap order.

How many did you get? If you got a whole keyboardsl's worth, I want to bask in it!

:eek: I hope it gets there soon! It might be a bit longer for you though, everyone else got it in like small satchels whereas your order was in a decent sized box.

Yeah mine have the lines near the bottom too but I don't mind. For this price point, I'm perfectly okay with this.
I think it's important for the keyboard community to have affordable artisan keycaps; its the best way for us to grow and increase the diversity of offerings.
