[GB] Maxkey SA Calm Depths (shifts being made)

[r4wromg]

I would second the color sample requests, I've been hearing weird stuff about off colors :/

Agreed, would rather be safe and have to wait a bit longer to get a color accurate set

Same here, would much rather wait longer vs getting an inaccurate set

[ye_cole]

Fuuuck, that's bad.

OK, no way I'm going to send the full payment before I receive color samples then. I've only paid for the molds thus far (an advance of sorts), and they're still in production. After those are done, theeennnn i pay for all of the sets.

I'll keep you guys updated, but the process of obtaining samples may impose some delays.

Although I missed this GB, I feel like delays are usually okay for the most part, as long as the runner is transparent. Which doesn't seem like it'll be a problem here

Yea dude, I'd rather wait a few extra weeks\months than get something that's ****ed up. Take your time and don't let a few loud people get to you. Thanks again for doing this.

[Puddsy]

no delays > good delays > bad delays

i'd call color samples a good delay

Words to live by when it comes to GBs. Too often you see people go for no delays regardless of standard quality control and lately you're starting to see the outcome.

[alveeno]

I support getting color samples. Hope they fix fix SA Nuclear. That stuff can't fly.

[euphxenos]

Agreed.  Any delays caused by waiting for color samples are well worth it.

[The_Boom_Boy]

Make it right rather than fast

[boogiemanspud]

I'll gladly wait to get accurate colors also.  That nuclear sa set is messed up...

[euphxenos]

I don't know when it happened, but the final layout render shows the 1U Fn key in R3 instead of R4.  Is it too late to correct that?

Where are you seeing that? This render doesn't show that and neither does the mold file on the previous page.

Here are the mold files!

Sorry -- I said the exact opposite of what I meant.  That render shows the 1U Fn key in R4 (the row with the shift keys and zxcvbnm), instead of in the bottom row (with the spacebar), which is R3 in Maxkeys.  I believe earlier renders showed that 1U Fn in R3, which would make sense for 65% layouts looking to use it along with 1U Ctrl and Alt in the bottom row.  I think the intent was to have 1U Fn, Ctrl, and Alt all available for the bottom row.

Many people need it in row 4 though since it’s quite popular to use a split right shift/fn combo on 60% boards. The layout you want to use it for is certainly valid but switching it from row 4 to 3 would upset the many people that use it in row 4.

Oh well.  At least now I don't have to worry about whether the colors turn out right.

[Atredl]

Why not just use one of the “code” keys?

[LevelSteam]

I'm willing to wait longer for more accurate colors as well.

[SakeJams]

Anyone have any matching artisans reserved for this set? I haven't seen too many that match! :B

[ye_cole]

Samples and molds should be done in roughly one month from now. I apolgize for the delay.

Thanks for the update! And getting samples.

No trouble at all, thanks for the update!  Better a bit late and right than early and junk

No worries, thanks man!

[ye_cole]

We're getting samples, and I'm going to make sure they're correct before proceeding with the second payment.

2 weeks!

Expect mediocre comparison photos then, and you'll get good comparison photos in around a week or two after that (i'll have access to a studio then).

[Vadurr]

Any chance for extras here?

[shensmobile]

Any chance for extras here?

Would you be interested in taking my spot?  I've come under a bit of financial pressure and would be happy to transfer my order.

Yeah, this is fine. I'll take care of it on friday!

Also, posted an update to r/mm, but nothing that hasn't been said here already. :/

Is that for the caps or the samples?

[ye_cole]

samples! I apologize for the delay, I know this is taking longer than expected.

[SakeJams]

Nice! Stoked to see some colors

[ye_cole]

Unfortunately, we have to wait a bit longer. Soon^tm, i guess.

Honestly, i'm really sorry for the delay, but it's completely out of my control.

Also, i don't know if i mentioned this, but i'm going to be going there to make the final payment myself. I think i only said this in the r/mm update.

anyway, that's it for now. hold tight, guys.

Ah damn, no worries I suppose. Delays are to be expected! You have a set date on when youre going to make the final payment?

[ye_cole]

Pretty much as soon as I get the samples. I'm going to request that the other vendors transfer the sums, and then head on over and complete the final transaction in person.

[Vadurr]

Thanks for always keeping us updated!

I don't have the samples on hand at the moment, so there are photos the agent sent to me.

The samples look good! I hope it's goes in production soon!

I'd like to compare them to the actual keys from the set, though.

[The_Boom_Boy]

Yes! it is coming along, so excited

Me too man!

The delays were kinda getting to me. Whew.
