This is the official order thread for the Billiards Group Buy this Cherry MX key will be a Row 1 key (Numbers or F keys)  I have gotten initial approval from Melissa and price quotes below.  I would like to skip the whole IC and start orders.  If we do not make 50 sets I will cancel all keys that do not have 50 orders.


*Key colors TBD (I have a brand new ABS Color swatch to match against a real billiards set)


**Full disclosure - those are mockups. According to SP - "The area that you have created the SVG in (0.356" x 0.427") is the legendable area, where the top surface of the key is 0.470" x 0.557"

Pricing and Options:
Option A: 1-15 Ball + Cue
This set would fit perfectly accross the F1-F12 + PrtScrn, ScrollLock, and Pause Break.  Pricing will vary since individual ball sales will effect the set price but here is the worst case scenario pricing if zero individual balls are sold:

[strike]50 - $41.71 [/strike]
[strike]75 - $31.49 [/strike]
100 - $24.14 <-- We are here
150 - $21.78
250 - $13.76
500 - $9.32
** $45 new legend fee per key is baked into these prices!!

Option B: 1-9 Ball + Cue
This set would be ideal to replace the numbers, and the Cue ball would be 0.  If we get 50 orders this set will be a go. Pricing will vary since individual ball sales will effect the set price but here is the worst case scenario pricing if zero individual balls are sold:
1-15 Set

[strike]50 - $31.26[/strike]
[strike]75 - $21.73[/strike]
[strike]100 - $17.33 [/strike]
150 - $12.08 <-- We are here
250 - $8.42
500 - $5.72
** $45 new legend fee per key is baked into these prices!!

Option C: Individual Ball Keys
Individual ball keys will be available and will help decrease the cost of the sets. Only 1-9 + Cue balls will be avaiable as a stand alone key.  10-15 must be purchased with a set.  Pricing for individual keys is as follows:
1-15 Set

[strike]50 - $3.33 ($1.29 for Cue) [/strike]
[strike]75 - $2.36 ($0.96 for Cue) [/strike]
[strike]100 - $1.89 ($0.80 for Cue)[/strike]
150 - $1.41 <-- 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,9 Ball Here ($0.63 for Cue <-- Cue Ball Here )
250 - $0.89 <-- 8 Ball Here ($0.41 for Cue)
500 - $0.60 ($0.32 for Cue)
** $45 new legend fee per key is baked into these prices!! (Except for Cue which has no legend fee)

[net2522]

First!!

[elton5354]

It doesn't stop coming, does it? Lol

[Nighted]

Don't you mean row 4?

[lROOl]

interested in the 1-15 if enough people order

[i3oilermaker]

Don't you mean row 4?

SP calls it Row 1 - http://www.keycapsdirect.com/images/faq/FamilyProfilesLG.jpg

[i3oilermaker]

You can order a 1-15 and if there is not enough interest you will automatically get downgraded to a 1-9 set.

[mmmty]

First!!

Somehow you're 2nd on the list.

1x Option A: 1-15 Ball + Cue for my row 5

[Zehkul]

F*ck that’s awesome. And expensive. Notsureifwalletwants.

Set prices will get cheaper as people like boost order individual keys

[Djuzuh]

The high quantity prices are very very attractive.

But the low quantity prices are so unattractive.

If someone whats to post a pointer to this thread at deskthority.net that may help!

[fohat.digs]

I agree.

That 250 price point looks great.

[snoopy]

mmhhh... only want some 8balls :-) but I have to sleep over that

[Netdewt]

I'd also like an 8-ball.

[dko2o]

Do the sets decrease the price of individual balls as well?

[Djuzuh]

yeah, suppose so.

[i3oilermaker]

Do the sets decrease the price of individual balls as well?

Yes

No, we need Koreans!! :-) Koreans rock.

:laugh: Wake them up!!

[i3oilermaker]

I would say this is on topic

[hashbaz]

Nice!  These looks sweet.

[i3oilermaker]

Thanks :tea: I put a lot of time into them

[reaper]

In for option A. =P

[hazeluff]

Are you getting them as a set from SP? They charge less for grouped keys instead of many individual keys. You'll probably lose the option to pick keys. But you'd save quite a bit of money for everyone else.

I tried, but Melissa's response was: "Pricing below is per keycap (since these are all different color combinations we won't be able to combine them to maximize the discount)"

I'll send a follow-up to double check.

ahhh. that makes a bit of sense. i don't know the specifics. but i made a difference to my LoL set.

QWER + LoL Addon was more expensive as them combined.

[snoopy]

The more I look at the awesome colored balls on the first page the more I want a complete set.... Ah damn it i3oilermaker... :-D

[telepete]

These are as nice as they are expensive. I filled the form in the hopes that it stays a 15 key set.

Confirmation from Melissa that a set is not possible - "No making them a set would not reduce the part price since they would all be run separately anyway."

[dorkvader]

I hope so, too. This is one of the best non-PBT keycap sets I've seen.

I want at least one set.

[kwang2009]

One set of 1-9 gogogogogo. . .

Register your wallet, this isn't an interest check.

edit: I wasted my 3000th post on snark

[sth]

Is that cue ball a doubleshot with the ENTIRE face of the key being a different color?

Because if so I want that for weirdness' sake.

[hashbaz]

If so it'll look funny since the entire surface of the key isn't legendable.  I think it's just a blank off-white key.

Bummer. I think a 'legend' consisting of the largest possible surface area would be really cool.

Hahaha No, this is just a blank key

[metafour]

It sure does! Where's all those peeps with the OTD logins? They need to do some marketing...

[sth]

Hahaha No, this is just a blank key

Damnit. GLWGB!

UNLESS

What about double-shooting a bunch of small blue flecks to simulate chalk marks?

[emptyk]

Many cue balls I see these days have a small red open circle printed on it for some reason.

:tongue1: For the $45 legend fee, I would rather just dab the key with a real pool cue

[emptyk]

I'd only be interested in the full 15-key set.  If we don't reach the desired numbers, then I would not want to be "downgraded" to the 1-9 set.  Is this do-able or problematic for me?

That is fine, but you would need to send me a PM to cancel your order if it is announced that the set will not happen.  I am optimistic though since in 9 hours we have 12 sets already and I have a feeling OTD is going to get a handful of them

[Nighted]

i3oilermaker, put me down for at least one full set. Either way full or half I'm in.

You really think I'm that motivated? lol

Yes, I will do it, probably not tonight. I'm too burnt.

I can fill it out for you and order you 50 sets, I'm sure the rest of the GH'ers would appreciate it :biggrin1:
