{GB} Gateron PBT Blank Keysets CLOSED [EXTRAS SOLD OUT]

[Shadovved]

Oooh, good. I was getting worried I might have to order something on MD.

Will submit a bit later today. These are too sexy to pass up.

MD has over 70 orders already

If we get the ISO kit going...... *smirk*

They do have a lot of people not otherwise familiar with the enthusiast forums, this is a great price point which appeals to the mass market too.

We did plug it in the comments though

They are so gonna ban me

But hey, I rarely buy anything off MD anyway.....they don't have a lot going that interests me.

Meh they're quite good about not censoring people posting alternative places to buy actually 

Though as a group buy leader maybe they'll be more annoyed than usual 

With the included shipping, and VAT factored in. I think I'm definitely better for non-CONUS.

I'm sure they are gonna be incredibly annoyed

[Acerk]

I'm not sure that vortex has an iso enter in cherry profile. All I saw was iso oem. Let's hope :-)

You're right. There probably would've been a group buy already if they did. I think I was mixing it up with a German ABS Doubleshot.

We did plug it in the comments though

Haha. Three guys plugging. Massdrop will be annoyed, but hey, they didn't respect this was already in motion. It would be hilarious if this group buy becomes the first to be accompanied by thick PBT ISO addons. Then people would be annoyed with Massdrop. They only care about commercially available products.

Well, if I get to have the ISO mold thingy going.......I'm sure more people will hop on.

Give yall a reply on this soon, in a few days maybe?

Alright, great! You're an awesome group buy leader

There's probably more people like me waiting to order, because it's difficult to decide.

If the ISO goes through, big if, it's probably gonna be available as a separate kit.

Next time consider keeping it private before all is figured out, or make a **** IC as a bait

IC's used to be where people could figure everything out and trash out any ideas before embarking.........

Now it just becomes a place where external folks can steal a buy from under your nose

Edited OP to be clearer.

Dark Grey Mods, White Alphas


Light Grey Mods, Beige Alphas

[pokkuhlag]

Thanks for this update.  Light Grey mods / beige alphas it is.

[Frizer]

Hmm, This + JTK Topre sliders = win?

[tintomatic]

Cancelled my MD order, and ordered two sets from you

[KatzenKinder]

Oh boy. Yeah, I'd definitely much rather go with you than MD. Don't feel like waiting so many months with risk of missing keys -.-

[cwils0n]

Well, guess I'm going to cancel my MD order as well.  After that fantastic Gateron switch/clear top GB you ran I'm a lot more comfortable dealing with you rather than MD.

[vindaon]

Haha, everyone's canceling their MD order. Better to support a member of the community.

[LeandreN]

I totally agree.

[MarkRobbo]

Thanks for this update.  Light Grey mods / beige alphas it is.

I also went for this combo. Looks nice

Thanks for finding that out Shadovved

No problemo. Ask and you shall receive

[sdothum]

How quickly should we expect an email with the paypal invoice for orders placed?

[sneaky0]

Any chance of the 6u space bar having a centered stem?

[Nai_Calus]

Any chance of the 6u space bar having a centered stem?

Probably unlikely since their mold already exists. I guess if you have a winkey 1800 you finally have a replacement spacebar. XD Anyone else needing a 6u is out of luck unless they change their mold.

[melkenshawn]

Aww man, still deliberating about the color combinations. White alpha and dark grey mods looks so neat as well.

[VivaGardner]

Hi when does this end?  Maybe I missed it.. Thanks

[LeandreN]

Just started. Will last until 20th June I think.

[flamf]

Onboard, if a wild ISO enter should appear For a couple of kits

[Nikelu]

People who cannot decide on the colour, consult this picture. It's the most accurate one.

Dark Grey, Light Grey, Beige, White

[/quote]
Is the beige the same as the milk one from massdrop?

Mod Edit: Fixed image link(s).

[hkrak]

I would also buy a couple of sets if ISO was available.

[RoastPotatoes]

I think the dropbox bandwidth might have been exceeded. I am unable to load some of the images.

[dezoe]

Dropbox image links are dead     Anyone have a mirror?
I also want the ISO-kit but I will buy a set or two either way   

[Nikelu]

I am so in for this drop.Thank god I noticed it on reddit's group buys.Would have bought a set from Massdrop,which is ok,but I would rather buy this from you.The shipping to Greece is still 2$ ? Also some questions,if we can start a poll on which combination is bought more and if they will fit all ansi keyboards,what kind of compatibility does the space bar have? If I buy a future ansi pok3r or smth they will fit right? Which of you guys bought the milk one?Can't decide if milk or grey white/milk

The shipping to Greece is in included in the 28$ price point. The 2$ extra is if you want tracking

[nathanrosspowell]

Same, I can't see any of the pictures.  I suggest uploading an album to Imgur.com, which would also be a good way to drop a link on reddit.

Is it worth buying tracking?I guess for 2 bucks it is but what is it actually?The time the keycaps arrive at home and their exact destination every time?

[kaotikb]

I just came to say I cancelled my massdrop order. Thanks 

[Armstrong01]

I might buy the ISO kit as well (need only enter, shift - for 60%). Vortex does Cherry profiles too if LeandreN makes a deal w/ them?

Could someone elaborate on the Cherry profile in general (or with regards to this set), have you seen it in person, typed on it? I've researched the pics and comparisons of profiles (have only OEM and from pics I prefer its height), though not sure why would you guys go for Cherry profile vs OEM, is it just because of aesthetics that you prefer the look? Is the typing any different? Exclusivity? I feel that typing on higher caps (OEM) might feel better, what is your opinion? Objectively the same but down to personal preference?

I don't have experience with non-OEM caps and look for the best looking (white/black blank) set for Pok3r, but I'm afraid that the Cherry profile could diminish its looks as the caps are elevated from the case and the height is lower. Thanks, gr8 GB I'm tempted!

[Danboard]

In the OP picture with the comparison between the OG Doubleshot and Gateron caps, is that supposed to be the colours: white alpha/beige mods?

I am trying to talk with them, but they have a lot of stuff to do apparently.

[LeandreN]

I think our best option for ISO, is to convince Gateron that there are a demand. That way, we can get the exactly color and profile of those in this GB. I am still talking with Vortex as a second option, I don't know what they will respond.

[zarrx]

put order in
1x dark grey and 1x light grey/beige

So excited!

[Bull1919]

Cancelled massdrop order 4 u <3

[Eszett]

I have good experience (communication, accomodation, delivery time) with shadovved, so => just ordered a set!

[Shadovved]

I'll invoice a few days before it ends, so if you need to change an order there's still time.

I'll get it on imgur when I get home tonight, sorry for the lack of pics......

For the registered you get a tracking number so there's less chance of your package being lost.

But sometimes post offices in certain countries don't give a **** regarding the registered package, means your shipping status might not be updated after it enters your country until you receive it or it gets returned.

Like everything else it's a personal preference. I like typing on Cherry profile keys more than OEM, I suppose the lower-profile suits my typing style.

That's the one key that really drew me to these sets granted it'll be for a custom build...

To change an order, should we just resubmit a revised order i.e. you will disregard earlier orders from the same email address?
