However you guys want to do it, just let me know. I'll leave it at 29 for now.

I still have to hear back from SP about the combined Leopold/Filco spacebar before I start taking orders and getting the ball rolling...

Thanks for the offer bongoojinge but to get this ball rolling I will put my order with KL.....

Quote from: tsangan;431895

jpm804 will just buy one via the group buy and end up buying more from you Bongoojingie lol

..damn am I that predictable... I will just start with one for now. I would love to see how this turns out and then maybe we can do a black print on red or black print on yellow.

Black on red!

keyboardlover · « **Reply #204 on:** Mon, 17 October 2011, 06:33:02 »

Ok, great with jpm804 added we have 30 orders! I'm going to wait to hear back from SP about the spacebar before I start taking orders...

Sorry - updated. Back down to 29.

Updates from SP on the Leopold spacebar:

Quote from: melissa

At this time we do not currently have a 6 mount space bar - sorry!

To add in an additional spacebar, at 30 orders it's an additional $2.62 / per order. Seems like it's probably worth it and I have sent her spacing details.

Also, they always use ABS for the spacebar and not PBT.

Quote from: melissa

My apologies for not mentioning this earlier, but our tooling for spacebars is made for ABS material. PBT material has a tendency to shrink quite a bit more than ABS, which means the mounts might move in a bit. Please keep this in mind as the PBT spacebars might not have the exact fit you are looking for.

Khenra · « **Reply #207 on:** Mon, 17 October 2011, 12:44:43 »

tanooki said he'd be in if we could get the Leopold space bar in there (see last page). So that makes 30?

calavera · « **Reply #208 on:** Mon, 17 October 2011, 13:09:34 »

What color are the fonts, black or white?

Khenra · « **Reply #209 on:** Mon, 17 October 2011, 13:36:43 »

Black letters on blue keys.

I know there were some shenanigans earlier in this thread regarding the color difference between PBT and ABS. If they're different materials, will they even match? Can you get samples?

keyboardlover · « **Reply #211 on:** Mon, 17 October 2011, 15:24:59 »

I am told that they will match...

keyboardlover · « **Reply #212 on:** Mon, 17 October 2011, 16:13:41 »

***UPDATE***

Unfortunately there was a bit of miscommunication between Melissa and I. Apparently they can't match BFD in ABS

I told her a while ago that I wanted BFD but she must have forgotten...
They can only match BCT in ABS. I'll take another look at the colors tonight but unfortunately it looks like we will have to switch colors.
I'll post the new color tonight. I hope the majority of people will still like it. Sorry folks.

Khenra · « **Reply #213 on:** Mon, 17 October 2011, 16:32:08 »

Which one of the color ring in OP is BCT?

Is the final product going to be darker or lighter?

What are the options now if we want a matching space bar?

QUESTIONS!

keyboardlover · « **Reply #214 on:** Mon, 17 October 2011, 16:51:52 »

The very last one in the color ring is BCT. IMO it still looks really nice. The spacebar will match.

So, the Final product will lighter but not extremely so.

guilleguillaume · « **Reply #215 on:** Mon, 17 October 2011, 16:53:44 »

I like it!

mmm can't wait to combine this keycaps with the Blue alu bezel from imsto

keyboardlover · « **Reply #216 on:** Mon, 17 October 2011, 16:57:07 »

Yea it's still a sick color. Was actually my second choice =)

Khenra · « **Reply #217 on:** Mon, 17 October 2011, 17:00:41 »

Looks good to me!

So did you decide yet whether you will include a Leopold space bar? I just ordered my Leopold from EK so I hope we can get the set to include one!

I guess the group buy is almost finalized then, isn't it?

Can't wait.

calavera · « **Reply #218 on:** Mon, 17 October 2011, 18:36:14 »

When's the deadline to join this group buy? I'm still debating on this.

keyboardlover · « **Reply #219 on:** Mon, 17 October 2011, 18:39:58 »

I think the leo space bar will be included, just waiting on confirmation from SP. No deadline yet, but I plan to start taking orders when the space bar is finalized and I have at least 30 orders.

Bongoojingie · « **Reply #220 on:** Mon, 17 October 2011, 19:19:56 »

Glad I asked about the color matching I guess. I still like the choice in color!

Put me down for an order then if the space bar is will be included for leopold (Do we get both or just one?)

Bongoojingie · « **Reply #222 on:** Mon, 17 October 2011, 21:15:13 »

Also, from the sounds of the Leopold spacebar thread, it sounds like we might have another miscommunication on doing a universal spacebar.

RColinTaylor · « **Reply #223 on:** Tue, 18 October 2011, 00:03:46 »

Okay, so, on the basis of the universal spacebar idea:

I am working with Melissa to hammer out the final measurements for a Filco-Leopold compatible spacebar with 6 stems. Once we figure it all out she has said that SP will begin making them at no extra cost to their customers. I will try and keep this thread up to date on how it all turns out since she stated the efforts by KBL and myself being the driving factor behind SP looking into the possibilities.

Khenra · « **Reply #224 on:** Tue, 18 October 2011, 05:41:14 »

That's great news. A universal space bar would be better than two seperate space bars imo.

keyboardlover · « **Reply #225 on:** Tue, 18 October 2011, 07:02:36 »

Sorry didn't get the color pic up...will do so tonight.
I must say though, it's a great color. Slightly lighter.

Sounds like good news on the spacebar situation...I will let you all know when I hear back from Melissa...
Thanks for driving that, RColinTaylor!

keyboardlover · « **Reply #226 on:** Tue, 18 October 2011, 11:02:59 »

Good news: they can do the combo spacebar!

Updated pricing:
30 sets $96.58 / set
50 sets $83.89 / set
100 sets $79.66 / set

I will update the OP and add tanookie (where are you located - USA?).
We have hit 30 and I am now officially taking orders.

***IMPORTANT***
To place your order, please PM me your GH username, country/location and order quantity.
I will reply to you with your total and my PayPal email address.

In the paypal transaction, please include your full name, address and GH username. Please DO NOT send as a gift payment!

Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!

keyboardlover · « **Reply #227 on:** Tue, 18 October 2011, 17:18:51 »

Please be advised:

***ORDERS WILL CLOSE ON FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 2011***

COME GET SOME!

noodles256 · « **Reply #230 on:** Tue, 18 October 2011, 18:13:26 »

with the new leopold clears, I am definitely in for 1

demik · « **Reply #231 on:** Tue, 18 October 2011, 18:20:11 »

\kl I'll send my payment on Monday. Something came up regarding my dogs and they are first in line when it comes to my spending. But I will for sure pay Monday.

keyboardlover · « **Reply #232 on:** Tue, 18 October 2011, 18:23:25 »

Cool, thanks for the updates guys. Hope the pooches are ok demik.

calavera · « **Reply #233 on:** Tue, 18 October 2011, 18:31:39 »

I might get in on this....

noodles256 · « **Reply #234 on:** Tue, 18 October 2011, 18:37:26 »

i was going to wait for payment because we might hit more orders

No need, I'm capping it at 30.

Two reasons:
1. To keep things simple
2. To take some of the weight off Bongoojingie

calavera · « **Reply #236 on:** Tue, 18 October 2011, 20:23:28 »

Deadline is Nov 4th, but you're not accepting more orders then?

Quote from: calavera;434072

I am accepting more (new orders) until Nov 4th, but I will cap it at 30. With each new order, I will remove one of Bongoojingie's.

I want to get our order into SP as soon as possible. No sense in wasting more time...

My goal is to get people their keys before Christmas!

(No promises though)

demik · « **Reply #238 on:** Tue, 18 October 2011, 21:53:29 »

you should put in OP that there are 9 open orders (from the 10 Bongoo is willing to buy) so it won't confuse people

RColinTaylor · « **Reply #239 on:** Tue, 18 October 2011, 22:05:18 »

Demik, I think he means that there won't be any price reductions with quantity because as each new order comes in one set is removed from Bongoo's order. I am certain that the order itself isn't capped at 30, just the price.

demik · « **Reply #240 on:** Tue, 18 October 2011, 22:49:59 »

no, he said it's capped at 30 orders. he's just taking some off Bongoo's order so he won't have to pay so much.

at least that's how im taking it.

Khenra · « **Reply #241 on:** Wed, 19 October 2011, 03:55:12 »

You're going to have to pay the price mentioned at 30 sets, because more orders will just be deducted from Bongoo's order until he has 2 sets left. So right now there's about 6-7 sets you can still order.

Maybe an update of the OP would be in order where you remove the price for 50/100 sets?

keyboardlover · « **Reply #242 on:** Wed, 19 October 2011, 06:53:01 »

Updated the OP, let me know if it's not clear...

noodles256 · « **Reply #243 on:** Wed, 19 October 2011, 10:13:24 »

I definitely did not know you were capping at 30... Just go ahead and count me out... again

What is the problem with being 30 people?

If we wait until we are 40 this will never ship since Bongoojingie is already paying for more than he needs just to make this happen (A lot of thanks!!!)

Anyways PAYMENT SENT for 1 set.

If we need at the end somebody to pay the set that noodles256 has left I can pay for it.

the price

Sorry, but for most of us, the $6 difference isn't worth the 2+ months additional wait. I'll have 10 sets (maybe less) that I'll be reselling in the marketplace. If I still have any left months from now, I'm sure I'll start offering discounts to recoup some of my money. Keep your eyes open if you'd still like a set.

noodles256 · « **Reply #247 on:** Wed, 19 October 2011, 11:05:44 »

that 6 can buy me a 5 dollar footlong.
