Brewed from the depths of geekhack, here comes a creation inspired by the Solarized palette.
Solarized is a sixteen color palette (eight monotones, eight accent colors) designed for use with terminal and gui applications. It has several unique properties.
It has been tested extensively in real world use on color calibrated displays (as well as uncalibrated/intentionally miscalibrated displays) and in a variety of lighting conditions.
Please order here

Keyset is in SA profile and from SP
All color details and other info is available on the site prior to order
The groupbuy will last for 30 days, and i will be invoicing throughout the buy period, order and payment deadline will be the same day
Once all keys are quality checked and shipped we accept no responsibility, if you would like any specialised shipping please contact me or select custom shipping when ordering
There will be extra keys added to this gb, but the mockups indicate the minimum keys within the gb, we are working on some extra functional keys and possibly novelty keys that will be added at no extra cost
A free set will be given to Ryan Uber, for coming up with the concept of this set and for his work
Special thanks from me as always to margo, raccoon, cody and tym

This is going to turn out really well mostly because it's SA profile. Well done.

It's like some sort of never-ending high. You figure that one or two GB's was setup to provide us with SA goodness, yet it's now become about 4 or 5 sets to be unleashed onto the populace of Geekhack.
It's a real good time to be a Cherry Lover :-* .

I think ErgoDox sets are not happening, because Bunny explained that he already got too few orders for it with the Hyper Fuse group buy, and it was a higher expense than anticipated, which had to be covered.
Thanks for the update. Wonder why so few people are picking up Ergodox kits despite the massive success of them.

Once I get my hands on a 40% it would be great to have this too. I guess a board that doesn't exist yet is kind of a risk for any GB organizer at this stage? Have ordered my Honeywell though.

i have plans on what will be added when we hit certain tiers, that is something that will be added at certain points, the way i run things is i set the prices at a tier that i can reasonably hit, and i guarantee that price, so the set will be made no matter what, then if we break that point, i will keep adding to the set at no extra cost to the end user, the first thing i will be adding is the keys needed for 40% support, that will be at about 50 base orders, after that i plan on adding a sorta extras slash novelty pack, that will include arrow cluster with arrows not words, those extra geek hack keys you speak of, a penumbra eclipse novelty key, and a 1.25 and 1.5 bottom row caps lock key, that will be added at about the 100 order mark and we shall work from there
i would say we will hit that range pretty easily, but i dont like adding those things now and then having to withdraw them

outstanding! i was about to ask about a novelty key just for the set... but glad that you already have that in mind.
thank you for the added info on the keys that will be added.
looking forward to more people ordering and getting extra keys.

The GB website you're using looks really awesome, Bunny. And I love the fact that you're offering a color-coordinated cable as well -- that's such a great idea. I'm already in deep with R5 and Cherry replica, but this is very, very tempting. (drops head on desk) Why does the "Days Remaining" counter sound/feel like the counter from '24'? :D

As a random aside, does anyone else map Escape to Caps Lock?
I only ask because, as soon as I saw this set, I thought of how perfect it would look to have a Caps Lock key that said Escape instead.
Either way, though my friends may mock, and my wallet may weep, I must have this set ;D

First: I want to add a +1 to how awesome the alternate Control key is. I would not be interested in the set if it wasn’t there. I hate seeing Caps Lock in such a prominent position, even if it is remapped on the board. I also like the Super and Meta keys a lot.

What are the chances of getting legends on the ISO kit? I noticed you ask buyers to specify if they are interested in legends. I realize this will probably be dependent on the number of orders, but at the same time I don't really want to get them if there is a high chance they are going to be blank.
if you would like, in the notes on your order, you could state that you would like to add an iso to your order if we include legends, or, if you would like to add an iso to your actual order, but pop in the notes to only invoice you for your order if we get legends, that is fine to
really it is all about numbers when it comes to legends
Nice work, as always, BunnyLake. You can expect more money from my wallet soon. :p

Sorry if I missed this during the interest check thread or if this is a super naive question, but any thoughts on splitting the mods/alphas apart? $40 for mods, $45 for alphas?
I'd love the mods and the lighter alpha set, but I'd prefer not to pay $130 and get a load of alphas I'm not interested in.
people voted and wanted the more yellow alphas, to keep people happy that wanted the whiter set, i also included it, it was a case of doing it this way, or splitting up the set but only offering one color of alphas, this was the way that would please the most people, if we did each separate, we would need 2 different numpad, tsangan, iso and alpha sets, and i wanted to keep the buy as simple as possible, lots of thought went into this and how to build each kit up to keep it both simple, and cost effective

Any chances of adding a 1.75x Shift + 1x Fn/blank onto the base set to substitute the 2.75x right-shift?

We've been over this, no?
What happened to ergodox? Not enough interest?
^this. Can we expect an ergodox set Bunny?
no ergodox plans, simply hasnt been the demand, that being said, i will happily add it to the order if enough people pm me saying they will order it
so its not out, but its down to the dox users to ask for it

So I definitely wasn't interested in those alternate alphas during the IC, but now that I'm about to order... damn, they do look nice, lol. Decisions, decisions.
Yeah I know, I'm really strapped at the moment but I'm going to try my darndest to get both sets of alphas!
Post by: jefferai on Fri, 22 November 2013, 03:28:02
I know that there is concern over the multiple layouts, but two points related to that:
1) These are SA keys, which don't handle moving layouts around very well anyways. The buy at http://deskthority.net/wiki/Round_5#HONEY.2FERGO_.28ErgoDox_kit_.7C_.2459.29 is SA as well but uses all Row 3 keys. So if you want to keep customizability you'd need ErgoDox buyers to get all Row 3 -- but that would make it harder to have ErgoDox as an add-on as opposed to a totally separate buy. The point being, if you're offering SA keys and want to make it an add-on, you could just not worry about customizability of keys on the ErgoDox.
2) If you're not worrying about customizability, it wouldn't be hard to simply make an ErgoDox add-on which has the various modifier keys in nice colors. But if you do want to worry about customizability, I'm not sure it even needs letters for ED users as they're often going to be used to blanks anyways. Instead, it'd be awesome if the different sized keys were different colors from the solarized palette (as opposed to the way they are now, where there are limited key colors and the lettering is using more of the palette's colors).
(P.S. I realized too late that this thread has eclipsed the IC thread, so I posted this there originally but it more appropriately belongs here (and I've deleted it there.)
Post by: mooswa on Fri, 22 November 2013, 14:04:37
Esc row - ROW1
~ 1 2 3 row - ROW2
Tab row - ROW3
Caps row - ROW3
Shift row - ROW3
Ctrl row - ROW4
It follows the design of the 23 commando drop: http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=45655.0
Yes, there is no ROW1 for ErgoDox or 60% keyboards, but you can use same set for non-querty.
I am hoping that if ergodox kit is added, the keys will also be matching alphas i.e. ROW2-4.
P.S. You've made me thinking... wouldn't it be nice to have a blanks set, with solorized pallette, but true SA ROW1 - 4? For ergodox and 60% boards?
Post by: jefferai on Fri, 22 November 2013, 14:19:10
I could combine the alphas only with the HONEY/ERGO going on right now, but it's not ideal...and the alphas are the keys most easy to find/remember on a new keyboard anyways :-)
Post by: dorkvader on Fri, 22 November 2013, 15:51:49
As I understood, this will actually support custom layouts, because all alphas will be ROW3:
Hmm, it says sculpted in the GB page, but that might just be a quote of SP's description of the SA set characteristics.
I dont mind flat profile, and all r3 means I can do Dvorak, but I'm still curious as to if the alphas are sculpted or flat profile.

ok so i have still had very little interest, that being said, the little interest i have had, is very passionate, so with that in mind, here is what im gonna do
we will wait until we decide one the r3 profile thing or not, once we know that, me and the ergodox users can work on what keys will be needed for the dox kit, once everyone agrees on a final kit, i will get a final count on the people that want the dox kit, i will then get the quote for that number, and see who of the people still want it
just to give you guys an idea, right now i have had 4 pms about the dox kit, so i want people to keep in mind, that will make it very pricey, but once more talk happens and it looks more real, im sure more would join
i just wanted to update you all and let you know i havent forgotten about you
Post by: jefferai on Sat, 23 November 2013, 17:45:35
So if you're worried about the passionate people dropping away if the price jumps too high (not at all an invalid concern, including myself...we all have limits), then that would be a way to potentially get the number of interested buyers way up, so the price can be kept down. And, obviously, people would commit to buying the keycaps so the people that commit can't back out and leave you holding on to the bag.
What do you think?
Post by: BunnyLake on Sat, 23 November 2013, 17:54:52
If you're willing, you could do what the Galaxy Class guys are doing (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=48839.0): they're actually working with Massdrop to advertise the keyset. The obvious benefit here is that basically everyone that has an ErgoDox is probably sitting on the Massdrop mailing list.

Post by: kekkon on Sun, 24 November 2013, 01:10:36
Well, here's an attempt. I can only work off what is shown on the mock ups. The colors are correct, but not all the caps are available, so you'll have to improvise. Also I think HHKB uses a 6x or shorter spacebar--I used 7x for the mock up. There's no 1x "Fn" on the mock-ups, so I improvised one. There's also no top row |\ and a row 2 Backspace.

Just to clarify for those unfamiliar with SP's keycaps, are these are ABS double-shot?
they are but they are SA profile, if you have never seen them before, they are at a totally different league to anything else they make, they are very very thick and a very high quality, if you would like to see pics of them, look for the commando 23 gb, towards the last pages of that buy, there are some wonderful pics that do them justice

This is a very well thought out GB and Bunny is the guy to take into account as many options as possible. I think he said earlier that if there are more orders, he'll be able to add more keycaps and options to the kit and I'm sure this will be one of them.

thanks very much sir
as to what will be added to this buy and when
my plan is roughly this
and im not saying if we have hit any of these goals yet, i havent checked numbers, but...
if we sell 50 - 75 sets i will be adding 40% support
if we sell 75 - 100 i will be adding some alt arrow and wasd clusters, and a couple novelty style keys inkeeping with the set
100 + i will look to add alternate options for several other things, including win keys like mentioned above
for perspective, hyperfuse sold over 200 sets, and nostalgia sold over a 100, so all of these goals are far more than achievable and i would use the wording highly likely to happen, with about a week left on this buy, i will announce what "tier" we are at and if we are close to another, and around that time i will try have mockups for additional keys etc, all additional keys will be included in the base set, no matter what set they seemingly lean towards

this is correct, i am also waiting to finalise the ergodox set until we make this decision as it may impact the keys needed, i have a commando set being sent to me, and i have had plenty of experience with the r4 sa for comparison

Here you go. While I was making this, I noticed that the 1800 needs a 1x "+" for the numpad, whereas the set, as currently laid out, only offers a 2x "+". But the mock up assumes a 1x "+"
(Attachment Link)
does any know if this was fixed or made aware to bunny?

100 + i will look to add alternate options for several other things, including win keys like mentioned above
So there needs to be 100+ orders to add another Super key? How many are we at?
Post by: dorkvader on Sat, 30 November 2013, 18:46:13
How many are we at?
with about a week left on this buy, i will announce what "tier" we are at and if we are close to another, and around that time i will try have mockups for additional keys etc, all additional keys will be included in the base set, no matter what set they seemingly lean towards

Order the base set now. Bunny's group buys are all done through an amazing web site so it's far easier to add more stuff later as well as see what you've already ordered.

ill invoice the ergodox stuff separately anyway so if you want anything other than the ergo extension best to get it ordered

I gotta admit that the SPH profile takes some adjustment. The way the profile stands would have cause my fingers to know each other. Now I begin to see how it is not for everybody and perhaps a All row 3 would be better.

i was trying to get my hands on commando before this was over but obviously that isnt gonna happen
ill put some thought into the profile thing for the next day or so and would welcome some feedback
Is it worth delaying ordering to wait for Bunny to compare the row 3 profiled alphas to the SA set he has already? I wouldn't mind waiting an extra couple of weeks in order to feel really good about the decision.
Then again, if ergodox kits are being added on, maybe alphas all need to be row3 anyway...

And modifying his image to add row numbers:
[attachimg=1]
Standard SA profile, Round5-style (also modifying jil_jil's image):
[attachimg=2]
I kind of like the 2nd row from the top to be Row 2 for either scenario. Sticks out less than Row 1 but still has an ergonomic curve.
P.S.: someone posted this photo (they are not sure of the origin) of Round3 on the DT R5 discussion thread. The standard layout does seem more ergonomic

It's not completely flat, just the 3 middle rows. Also judging by responses, some people prefer it flat. You won't know until you try it. I don't think it will be the same as DSA necessarily.
I did say flat alphas.
Which responses are you referring too? I would love to hear from somone who have actually typed on that profile.

Also, the Filco SA set has a flat row-3 profile for the alphas (row 2 for the number row):
http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=50159.msg1145536#msg1145536
and JD's been raving about it. So like I said, definitely good to ask JD for his opinion too.
Post by: cultofjosh on Thu, 12 December 2013, 20:15:43
I'm a bit torn up on the whole profile thing. On one hand, I would love to try a standard SA profile since I've never used keycaps like this before. On the other hand, my initial interest in these keycaps was for the ergodox kit I ordered and it sounds like all row 3 alphas are better for that? Hmm. Wish I could be of more help here. I think as long as it works well on one of my keyboards I'll be happy - methinks I'm too new at this to have any definitive preferences yet.
Post by: mooswa on Thu, 12 December 2013, 22:09:40
Post by: cultofjosh on Fri, 13 December 2013, 00:10:21
I am not sure I follow why would all row-3 alphas be better for ergodox.
You know, I'm not 100% on that. nuclearsandwich mentioned it. Maybe ergodox users are more likely to rearrange their alphas a bit? I think most ergodox keycap addon kits are all blank because people put their modifiers in different locations.
The more I think about it, the more I want this keycap set to be ideal on a straight row keyboard, not my future ergodox. I still can't answer what ideal is - I'll have to trust others on that for now - but I feel like the different solarized accent colors add a lot to this set. With a likely blank ergodox keycap set, I think it loses some of its charm. Maybe instead of blanks, the ergodox mods could have something really simple on them, even a simple straight line/long dash or something, to retain some of the accents. Just throwin' an idea out there...of course, I assume that would add cost, if it's even possible.

this is seriously one of the best color scheme I've seen so far (after DSA retro of course :p ). unfortunately it collides with Round 5 otherwise I would have taken right away.
YES totally agree it collides with Round 5 and this will hurt towards 2014. Although I bought into both, the vast amount of money spent thus far - is currently top secret, concerning my mrs.

I have several spherical keybaords, and I prefer typing on the more sculpted "round5 style" but I think either will be excellent.

You could always put up a WTB in classifieds. I'm sure someone will offer. As many people know, I'm an ergo-clear advocate. 62g lubed Ergo clears 4 lyfe :D Maybe 55g too. I don't dislike any switches though; as long as you find what's right for you, it's all that matters. What's important is you try out as many switch types as possible because no matter how informative a person's description of a certain switch can be, it's nothing like feeling them for yourself.

What was the r3 issue?
Some of the modifiers were not of proper width (too short). That's why Round 5 includes some blue modifiers in correct lenghts now.

What was the r3 issue?
Whether to go with regular SA profile (all rows are different) - or `flat alphas` profile - tab caps and shift are all R3, numbers are R2.

Are you saying that the R5 set does not have correct length mods if you don't buy the blue mods? Do you have a reference.

No that's not what I"m saying. Round 5 is red/gray/black/white. The Blue modifiers are for Round 3 and are even called "repair".
Oh thanks. I understand now.

I'm sorry if this is something that has been brought up and/or resolved already but as I was looking over the mockups again and trying not to send my wallet into oblivion by ordering more stuff, I noticed that the requisite 1.25x & 1.5x capslock on the bottom row to facilitate a swap with the control keys aren't pictured? The 'Caps Lock' key in the tsangan doesn't appear to be 1.5x. Or is the plan to use some other key in place of the 'CTRL' key on the bottom row? I thought a 'CAPS' key or something would be appropriate but hey that's just me!

at some pont there is a cut off where by you would need one of every size etc, i think in the tsangan there are plenty of additional keys already that would replace ctrl, but i think it was a valid point for the 1.25
we obviously have lots more base orders then tsangan, so its far cheaper to slip the extra key in there, there are going to be many extra keys added, and there are just things higher up on the list to go in before that many variations of caps lock
this isnt a no, but it isnt a confirmation like the 1,25 one either

could the ergodox people come together and get an open discussion going as to what they need in the ergodox set, i dont know enough about it to keep everyone happy, but if someone could come up with a full list of what they would like, ill get the quotes and we can get it sorted
The existing alphas should work fine on an ergodox, especially if we go with the 23 Commando profile keys where all the alphas are row3. They'll work even better if the base set includes unscooped F and J. That's assuming there are any prospective ergodox peeps not using qwerty-ish layouts.
That leaves us with mods to figure out. Most ergodox mods are blank since the thing is reprogrammable but this set features some pretty sweet different legend colorings that really add character to it. Is it worth trying to find things to write on the mods? Again, doing all row3 would help us out because then we'd be able to put the legend'd modifier keys anywhere they fit.
Here's a very janky mockup of what a blank Penumbradox kit might look like using 7bit's all row 3 ergodox base kit a starting point.

Re ErgoDox set, I'd be much happier with ergonomics over position customizability (IOW not all R3). I'd also be much happier with beautifully colored keys and legends (as in the normal set) over blanks.
Overall I'd be happy with proper row QWERTY keys that look and feel beautiful. I can remember any layout changes in my head...
The issue with legended mods in ergodox is that almost everyone will want to put different keys in different places. this is doable if all keys are uniform profile but would probably get gnarly otherwise.
Would you want profiled modifiers even if the alphas they sit against are uniform?

I know what the issue is, and I'm saying that I value ergonomics and pretty pretty colors (including legends colors) over correct legends. Mostly I value the ergonomics but that implies immovable keys so in that case I'd rather have nice legends than blanks. So I'd rather have the default ED layout in the legends and keep my modifications in my head.

i think what a few of us r speaking to is the right color 1x "0" for the num pad to fit a 1800. i believe everything else is good to go
no they are discussing the ergodox kit, but yes i will include the 1800 1x 0 key for everyone who orders the numpad
also
im not ignoring you ergodox guys and what you are saying, i just dont have much i can input, but instead of requesting things of me, if you could discuss it between you, so i can get a final kit that as many of you are happy with as possible, and we can work from there

Bunny, based on the current orders, can you give us (Ergodox users) an idea on which extra legends will be a part of the other sets.
im working on that now, but not much of use to you, there are some extra 1.25 mods for sure, several novelty keys, some extra keys that were oversights in the original mockups, like the 1800 1 x key etc and a couple of others
we are working on some final mockups, but i would ask that none of that is taken into consideration with the ergodox addon, this needs to be made in such a way that it isnt imperative that everyone has ordered everything etc, we have reached a good amount of orders, but lots of unpaid invoices right now, so im trying to juggle things around and hope people pay so we can add even more

I think I prefer the less flexible/more ergo profile on the caps than the flat 3 rows, but in the end I'll be fine with either. The color scheme is my favorite part of this set, so that is the thing that is most important to me.
Post by: nuclearsandwich on Sun, 15 December 2013, 14:53:04
I definitely prefer generic/novelty mods to blanks. I also prefer incorrect legends to blanks as well. I really don't want to lose all those nice accents.

Cultofjosh, Jefferai, and Air tree y'all wanna throw some suggestions up for modifier legends? I've only ever seen ergodoxen with blanks + alphas.
I wasn't suggesting uniform alphas.
You didn't, but the base Penumbra set hasn't made a decision about whether to go standard SA profile or to do uniform row 3 alphas. BunnyLake was originally going to wait until he had a 23 Commando set (which has uniform alphas due to complaints about the comfort of Round 4 SPH IIRC) in hand before making the decision but that's out of the question at this point.
So, if the alphas are going to be uniform, do we get uniform ergodox keys to match or do we get standard profile caps?

Ah, I didn't realize that. I'm in the Round 5 HONEY buy...should I be thinking of all R3?
I think if all alphas are uniform, we should make all non-alphas uniform too.
That said I have little experience here. While I'd like the most ergonomic solution (why I'm buying an ErgoDox after all) if there is a question of comfort then uniform may be the way to go. In that case I'd suggest alpha labels and the rest of the keys should either have labels corresponding to the default ErgoDox QWERTY layout from the configurator, or alternately, fun keys like the ones you see for the HONEY buy. Hyper, Panic, various legends, that kind of thing. Then that puts everyone at an equal disadvantage while making the set even more fun. Keeps the cost down too if all sets are the same.

Or may be just keep all 1.0 sized keys on the thumb cluster blank. I wish I could do a nice mockup. My gut feeling is that outside 1.5 mods would be best to have legends on, while inside ones can be left blank.

thanks for the input so far guys, i will go over it all tomorrow and see whats what for moving forward, please be realistic with requests for it, there are a very small number ordering it so the more you ask for the more it will cost as it wont even reach MOQ most likely
Just do the best you can, that is all that's required here Bunny :thumb: .
I know I would of loved to have seen some Cherry 1800 love but like all the Group Buys I have been in, there is not enough of orders that satisfy this request. But who knows, maybe down the line 2014, 2015 or even 2016 there might be a chance to get in on a GB that will build a complete 1800 layout.

I am hoping for non-uniform aplhas. For novelty ergodox legends, how about something like this:
R1 x 1.5 (need 2) GEEKHACK ERGODOX
R2 x 1.5 (need 2) - we already have TAB and BACKSLASH keys form base set, I am content with those
R3 x 1.5 (need 6) TOP BOTTOM ONE TWO CODE HACK
R4 x 1.5 (need 2) LEFT RIGHT
R3 x 1.0 (need 10) 2xPINKY 2xRING 2xMIDDLE 2xINDEX 2xRUN/FN/blank?
R2 x 2.0 (need 4) 2xTHUMB 2xCLUSTER

I'm not sure what Elrick is talking about missing here. With these keys all being uniform profile it just needs the 1.75x right shift, 1x numpad "0, & 1x numpad "+" key to work on a US-ANSI 101key 1800
If it wasn't uniform profile caps, i.e. DCS then it would have the del/end/pgdn keys in the wrong profile which is the part that we always have to live with on DCS sets, which isn't the end of the world

Any chance of getting a 1.75 right shift for the pure layouts? If uniform profile, a GH key could be used as the Fn key. Would the Fn key in the extended kit be the right profile otherwise?
that shift is in the tsangan set is it not?

Isn't this an all SA Profile layout we have just bought into? Hence it being an SA profile they are NOT all the same (not a DSA) hence why that assumption?
Row 1, 2, 3 and 4 have all different height arrangements hence in an 1800 layout particularly in the del/end/pgdn area will have Row 2 when you really need ROW-1 style..... am I wrong here?
Plus the numpad area needs a look in. Having some spare row-4 single unit WIN keys, would be appreciative for anyone out there using any 1865 keyboards.

Awesome, thanks! I knew there has to be something like this already!
Ok, here it goes. I have tried to minimize number of unique keys, reused TAB, BACKSLASH and GEEK/HACK key form the base set. I think everyone will probably want to keep SHIFT in its normal place. And I think blank 1x sized keys look pretty as well.

Just having the accents on the far left/right might be enough for me. What do you guys think about just getting rid of the completely vertical text altogether? I honestly think it'll look a little funny no matter what we put there.Or even this http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/#/layouts/c8175e96a8519014af2341aaf7d56076
(http://i.imgur.com/jTXlwdp.png)
I would be fine with that. This is probably the smallest number of new unique keys we can get a way with. Well we could also replace LEFT/RIGHT pair two identical ANYKEYs. Like this: http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/#/layouts/c94e83a3a20ed0a5adce5d30031fc945
If I am counting right, that requires just 7 new key types.

In terms of the default ErgoDox layout (in the configurator), Tab is in the wrong place as is the \ | key; they both go on the left side.

Post by: nuclearsandwich on Mon, 16 December 2013, 11:09:01
Love it, except I'd suggest replacing Escape and |\ with something with neutral legend on it. Shifts will likely stay in the same place for most people, but I'm not sure about those two. Maybe Bunny and Lake?

I'm not actually sure if we can get new legends, even text ones, without adding drastically to the cost of our already expensive set. So I'm not sure if I'll actually get away with LUKE, BUNNY, and LAKE keys. I did the RUN LUKE RUN thing totally on accident (I was so tired) but I now love it enough that if Bunny's okay with it I think I can pay for the legend to be cut.
Here's another mockup with F numbers on the subalpha keys. If you suggest other legends, I'll make you a mockup for them. I'm really hesitant to add legends to the remaining keys in the thumb cluster because they're going to be the most heavily remapped.

Gotcha, what do you think of the current mods? The ERGODOX key got displaced by BUNNY key but there is a 1x
ERGO
DOX
key. If the ERGODOX key is preferred we just need something to go on the opposite key.

I would suggest doing a fund raiser maybe if we can decide on a standard for future ErgoDox kits with slight changes depending on each GB.

Every new legend is expensive and it's per legend per key size. (source codyeatsworld)
Plus, we can't use the 7bit shape legends and would have to cut our own. I'm down to make a couple keys (LUKE, lol) but I'd be really hesitant to use *this* group buy to create custom ergodox sets because we have so few people and a lot of us, myself included, are new ergodox users.

there was no ergodox kit in the buy, some people wanted it, so i have agreed to do it, we will come up with a final kit, and then spend a couple of days getting a list of epople who want it once the kit is finalised, once i have that number, ill get a quote and invoice people for the dox kit

Post by: nuclearsandwich on Mon, 16 December 2013, 13:48:22
I can't think of anything else, including "Ryan", I think these three keys needs to be changed, maybe just replace "Ryan" with another "Code" key, and replace Bunny and Lake with "Solarized" perhaps and keep costs low.

Post by: BunnyLake on Mon, 16 December 2013, 14:01:13
so custom legends will really add up, a couple will split between people nicely, but when you get into a situation where its nearly 1 per person, itll become too costly for most to order
jsut something to keep in mind

I like this set, with blanks instead of F keys and the 1x thumb keys, and no shifts on the pinkies - mine is on my left thumb. Why not "GEEK" and "HACK" instead of the shifts to keep the accent colors?

This set has completely re-used legends from the rest of Penumbra with the exception of RIGHT and LEFT in 1.5x. It also makes judicious use of blanks but makes sure we get the accent colors.
would people not prefer blanks to f row keys?

Not I. If there is an option for printed alphas and blank modifiers, I'd order that, even if it means missing the accent colors. :thumb:
Just a thought - what if the accent colors were found in four mod keys per hand? Maybe on the outer row? So the whole key color is the accent color, and the rest of the mod keys are the blue.

That would be too much for me. I'd want something more subtle.
What if every coloured key had a blue alternate. So anybody could choose what coloured keys they wanted to use, and put blues in where they wanted.
I guess I'm just trying to avoid keys with text on them, that don't mean anything to me.
Except "GEEK" and "HACK". You guys mean something to me :D

Would you go for the above? It's a bit tamer.
I think blank keys of various colours are missing the point of solarized - to display various accents of text on a beautiful background. It is the text vs background that I value the most about solarized, not just individual color pallette.
I agree about that, these colors look great on top of each other, which is why I've tried to add a few more splashes of color next to the dark blue. The inner mods are gonna look great next to the tan alphas too.

I'm not down with alternates. The set is already gonna be expensive because of the small size. Let's try to find one thing that suits folks or just decide to fulfill ergodox needs elsewhere.

I like that, nuclearsandwich. I'd probably look to add the magenta keys later if they didn't come in on this order though.
Magenta isn't part of the Penumbra palette and I'm not even sure which SP color would match it. Let alone what adding another color does to the cost.

Ah, of course, I forgot about that limitation for adding to this order. I was thinking of ordering it separately anyways.

I need the legends on the ErgoDox for one reason only and that is so that other people can enter Passwords and other stuff if they drop in for IT-Support.
My suggestion is to stick to the Massdrop default and only label layer 0 - I know that I will go crazy on the other layers given the time ;D
As I like to use the dark Solarized variant I would like to match my keyboard to that but I guess this could be to expensive because of the number of extra keys.

It's tough to decide on what legends go on what keys since the ergodox is a programmable keyboard - different people will have different keys! This is my crazy layout: https://www.massdrop.com/ext/ergodox/?referer=8RZKC9&hash=29885c891430eb319d45cdcb8ed144dd :D

I do agree with you - but the fact that the ergodox is programmable is going to make it difficult to come to a consensus as to what to print on the mods. If it was up to any one of us, without having to consider others, good chance is we'd choose exactly what our layouts are. I just don't like the idea of paying the cost of random text on my keys just for the sake of getting some text on the keys. I'd rather have blanks than non-sensical things like the commodore symbol or bullets. Saying that, I know there are others out there that don't mind the random text on keys - maybe a poll could shed more light on this so more people are happy?

Would you go for the above? It's a bit tamer.Sorry, to me it just doesn't have the same feel as the non-ergodox sets. I'd rather go with all blank dark blue mods. IMHO blank mods is the normal approach with ergodox kits. But since legends look so nice on dark blue and off-white solaized backgrounds we've started looking into the whole legend thing. We only need to come up with some generic legends that would satisfy everyone.
Post by: Photoelectric on Mon, 16 December 2013, 18:08:10
Bunny, what do you think the chances are of including (or making available) four blank singles? I've got a Ducky, with 108-key layout -- they've got those four extra media keys at above the numpad. I don't know how many people would want or need the media keys (Calc, Home, Email, PC) but just some blanks would be awesome, just to fill the space? What do you think?
In on this GB, and a cable as well. Would it be possible to include single unit keys for CALC, COMP, HOME, EMAIL for the extra four keys on fullsize Duckys? Or at least four blank keys?
I'll look into some options for you sir, but there will certainly be some extra novelty type keys that can fill that void if nothing else
At worst, there will be the two GeekHack caps and a novelty cap and not sure what other plans are!

How much more expensive would this be in total? With everyone preferring different layouts, if we're not going to do nongeneric modifier labeling (or just blanks), probably the only sensible/fair thing is to do something standardized, and AFAI can tell the default configurator layout is the closest thing the Ergodox has to a default.

I hope bunny can tell us prices tommorow. Let's call them non-standard generics. I don't want a legend to lie - e.g. say Tab but actually act as a left bracket. That is the reasoning behind this novelty non-standard generic legends. If we go with Ergodox default, there will be plenty of keys lying to me or an occasional user. But things like HACK should give enough of a "don't press if not sure" hint.

I pm'd this to mooswa, but think my comments might be of interest to other people thinking about picking up an Ergodox kit too:
Hi mooswa, thanks for running this poll.
I suppose I prefer (a) all blanks given the choices.
Really, and probably like most people, I would prefer to have my choice of printed modifiers, but if the discussion is any indication, it's going to be difficult to find something that pleases anyone, myself included: most of the recently proposed layouts are too noisy for my taste and anyway specific in ways I don't like (I like generic modifiers, e.g. "super", "meta", etc., but not novelty ones, e.g., "Geek", "Hack", running man, etc.), and I probably wouldn't buy an Ergodox kit if we end up with something like them. If we do go for legended keys for the kit, since there seems to be so much variety of opinion here, it might entice otherwise people so disinclined if some blanks were added (at not too much cost, since they're blanks) so that people can at least replace any of the legended keys they dislike.

Out of curiosity, everyone is aware that the ergodox kit does not include alphas right? It's designed to add ergodox compatibility to the base Penumbra set.
Yes, but I (and probably others) did not buy the base Penumbra set because of waiting on the ErgoDox stuff to get figured out (much less whether it would end up happening at all).
It would be nice if, when the ErgoDox bits are sorted out, we get a choice of the normal alphas set or blanks.

Well if you'd read the thread. You'd see that the kits are already going to be expensive due the the fact that there are only 10-15 people *max* getting them when minimum sane order quality is usually around 25. You'd also see that Bunny has already said we could realistically split the cost of *at most two* new legends.

Do you guys think that if colour-code idea was there at the beginning of GB there'd be more buyers? Perhaps we need an IC thread?
I think so, sure, especially since art that time an ErgoDox GB was on.
I'm curious what the prices would be for the sets at what quantities. Maybe enough people would be willing to speculate for future ErgoDox buyers to buy several.

Bunny is doing ergodoxers a favor by offering this kit for the buy. It's got to be sorted by tomorrow or so. There's not time to talk it out in an IC. Perhaps you can ask Bunny if he minds y'all using the Penumbra set as a starting point for a larger ergodox but it would be poor form to presume as much.

You probably can buy some keyboard stickers. So I will count you for blanks then?Wow, I didn't know what to search for.
They even have Swiss-German stickers on the market :)
The colorcodes look fantastic if I cant have those you can add me to the blanks group.

I posited earlier (in the thread or a PM to Bunny, I forget which) that the best way to drum up interest in an ErgoDox set is to work with the MassDrop guys, but he doesn't like them. That's unfortunate, as nearly everyone with an ErgoDox is getting MassDrop emails, but they don't have a proper discussion/announcement forum, and I'm sure many people getting ErgoDoxes don't find their way here.
I can say for sure that each time they have a keycap offer there is clamoring for an SA profile. And I do think that the latest mockups (with the color codes as legends) are brilliant. I think if Bunny wanted to expand the Penumbra legacy and could stomach dealing with MassDrop, there might be some serious interest there.

my interest is not in making lots of sets, but in providing geekhack with the sets they want, and massdrop isnt part of that, however, i think we can make those colour code mods happen with this buy
i will be contacting sp for quotes later today
could we start getting an informal list going of people who want to buy the dox addon, so i have an idea of numbers
Post by: BunnyLake on Tue, 17 December 2013, 06:22:42
Out of curiosity, everyone is aware that the ergodox kit does not include alphas right? It's designed to add ergodox compatibility to the base Penumbra set.
Yes, but I (and probably others) did not buy the base Penumbra set because of waiting on the ErgoDox stuff to get figured out (much less whether it would end up happening at all).
It would be nice if, when the ErgoDox bits are sorted out, we get a choice of the normal alphas set or blanks.
i have put the standard set up for order for a few more hours today, you and everyone else has had a month already if you wanted to order, and i have confirmed for a couple weeks we will add a dox kit
i think there is about 9 hours left on the buy as of now, and i will close it after that
Post by: BunnyLake on Tue, 17 December 2013, 06:26:33
Let's ask Bunny. How big of a price difference would be between these options:
i) All blank ergodox mods:
http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/#/layouts/2cc66ba22cb2091bda30e266669c6db1
R1: 2 identical x1.5, 1 extra geek/hack key from base set (or from white alphas?***)
R2: 2 identical x1.5, 4 identical x1
R3: 6 identical x1.5, 14 identical x1, 4 identical x2
R4: 2 identical x1.5
Total 35 keys, 7 new unique keys
ii) Full color-table mods:
http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/#/layouts/b55905f6c7f220f7372782f8747af660
R1: 2 differently labeled x1.5, 1 extra geek/hack key from base set (or from white alphas?***)
R2: 2 differently labeled x1.5, 4 identical blank x1.5, 4 identical blank x1
R3: 2 differently labeled x1.5, 4 identical blank x1.5, 14 identical blank x1, 4 identical blank x2
R4: 2 differently labeled x1.5
Total 35 keys, 12 new unique keys
iii) Half color-table modes (as one above, but mods are the same on left and right side)
http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/#/layouts/effabde2a344ba6d67981dbe50ab0b29
R1: 2 identically labeled x1.5, 1 extra geek/hack key from base set (or from white alphas?***)
R2: 2 identically labeled x1.5, 4 identical blank x1
R3: 2 identically labeled x1.5, 4 identical blank x1.5, 14 identical blank x1, 4 identical blank x2
R4: 2 identically labeled x1.5
Total 35 keys, 8 new unique keys
*** I guess for folks wanting to equip just the ergodox it makes sense to get solarized alphas, and not the base kit (although I am now thinking I should get both so I can highlight WASD keys on my CFR and the Dox).
Probably stating obvious, but I am assuming the standard SA profile, not the flat R3 alphas.
Please, also, can someone check if my math is right?

Yes, you confirmed that a dox kit would be added, but:
a) There was no indication whether the ErgoDox kit would come with alphas or not, since you left that up for a later decision based on the interested parties
b) The base and the alphas sets are totally different colors, and I (and I think everyone else, based on the mockups) would want the base colors for the alphas
c) A restricted alphas set for the ErgoDox people could theoretically be cheaper than the current alphas set since a lot of the keys wouldn't be needed, which would offset the cost of the new keys/legends
d) I don't generally buy things before I'm told the price
Not trying to be difficult, but the ED people were told to wait and see, and now that the ED stuff is in the process of getting sorted out, please do not fault us for waiting as we were asked...

Also the details about the cable are missing and as I am new to geekhack and this groupbuy stuff I am wondering if the cable will fit the ErgoDox and by the way the ErgoDox has two cables ;)
Please tell me if I need to use this 9 hours window to order another base or alphas to have a complete set for the ErgoDox or if I can wait and see if the ErgoDox set will have all keys to outfit a ErgoDox.

sorry if i didnt make it clear before, my intention was that i would make an ergodox add on for people who wanted to take part in this gb, but wanted an option to also be able to use it on the ergodox
to be clear, i am not opening an ergodox groupbuy here, because of a very vocal minority, i agreed to make an ergodox extension kit, this kit will be open for people with pre existing orders with this groupbuy
in case that wasnt clear before, i have opened up orders again on the gb for today only
as for the price of the kit, i cant get a price on it until we have the number of people interested and until we agree upon a kit, i have sent some of the mockups for a quote today, anyone interested in the ergodox kits will pay whatever the number of kits cost, divided by the number of people who would like to buy
i should have some figures in the next 24 hours or so, just waiting on SP to reply
the ergodox kit itself, will be an extension kit, so it will not be a complete ergodox keyset without other parts of the group buy, in the same way the tsangan (or winkeyless) add on doesnt include a full set of alphas, if you want to cover yourself, pop in an order for either the base set or the alt alpha set, you can always cancel your order prior to paying the invoice if you arent happy with what the final ergodox set it
when it comes to the ergodox kit, we are hitting such low numbers, that if we included a full set of alphas with it, the cost wouldnt be justifiable to anyone
as stated before, there just isnt the demand here on gh, massdrop has the installed ergodox userbase, and im not running these gbs to make as many sets as humanly possible, i run them to give people on geekhack more options

sorry missed some question, the cable will work with your ergodox, i know the ergodox has 2 cables, the set doesnt include the cable that links the 2 ergodox parts together, but does include the mini usb cable to connect the dox to your computer, the cable is 6ft long, usb to mini b, with parachord sleeving, it is being made by theflyingracoon

Okay...sorry that I misunderstood before. Since there had been talks of blanks or not I thought that the alphas for the ED users were a separate thing.
I'll get in on the GB and if the final set/price isn't something I like I'll cancel.
Can you confirm that the colors on the ordering site are correct...the alphas set is a different color than the alphas in the base set? With all the talk of how much pricier the ED option will be I like the price of the alphas set but hate the color :-)

yeah they are indeed different, there was a vote and more epople wanted the penumbra colours, but we included the extra alphas in case people wanted to make it more solarized

when it comes to the ergodox kit, we are hitting such low numbers, that if we included a full set of alphas with it, the cost wouldnt be justifiable to anyoneI don't get that part. Why does it drive the cost up if you offer for example 3 versions of the ErgoDox kit?
- Alphas and modifiers for ErgoDox
- Solarized aphas and modifiers for ErgoDox
- modifiers for ErgoDox only
I had the impression that only the new modifiers will drive the costs up and the alphas and solarized alphas will get cheaper because more of the same keys get ordered. Please correct me if I'm wrong. I'm new to this groupbuy stuff and still try to wrap my head around the details.

i will be contacting sp for quotes later today
could we start getting an informal list going of people who want to buy the dox addon, so i have an idea of numbers
Thanks! :)
If accents happen I am willing to buy 2 sets to make it slightly cheaper for everyone else. If blanks, I'm still in for 1 set.

the less orders you have for something, the more expensive it is, anything below 25 orders, is very pricey, and the more keys you add the more expensive it is, we wont even get close to 25 ergodox orders, and splitting that order up even further is not an option
what will be offered is an extension kit for to make either the base or alpha set already on offer compatible with an ergodox
once again, this isnt an ergodox groupbuy, i offered an ergodox set before and it ended up costing me a fortune, so i left it otu from this buy, this is just me trying to accommodate the few users who requested it, this is not me trying to set up a buy specifically for the ergodox

If you're referring to the half color table mod set. I'd agree that's where I'd be leaning toward for an ED add-on set. All the ErgoDox talk has me wanting a board now.

Since I made a new order with updated info, as well as some additional kits :)sorry i havent been part of the discussion much tonight, hitting bed now as its 1am, been taking care of some other things, will go over everything tomorrow and start this ergodox process off

Small correction to current mockup. The legend on the blue is incorrect.
The blue should be 268BD2, not 268DB2
Here is the corrected version of mockup #3:

Is there a reason there is only one GH key? Is that because there is already one in the alpha set that people will be buying? I don't actually see a yellow alpha set available (only the white). How are people getting the alphas needed for this kit?

the other colour alphas are in the base set, and there will be plenty of gh keys in that

Or, if you're a little obsessive like I am, you got 1 of everything just to play is safe ;D
As things stand, if you prefer the darker alphas you'll have to order the base set. Originally, I preferred the lighter set, but now I'm not so sure, otherwise I'd offer to trade to save you money. At this point, there's no way I can tell which ones I will prefer until the set is produced and I have them in hand.

I think I start to get it.when it comes to the ergodox kit, we are hitting such low numbers, that if we included a full set of alphas with it, the cost wouldnt be justifiable to anyoneI don't get that part. Why does it drive the cost up if you offer for example 3 versions of the ErgoDox kit?
- Alphas and modifiers for ErgoDox
- Solarized aphas and modifiers for ErgoDox
- modifiers for ErgoDox only
I had the impression that only the new modifiers will drive the costs up and the alphas and solarized alphas will get cheaper because more of the same keys get ordered. Please correct me if I'm wrong. I'm new to this groupbuy stuff and still try to wrap my head around the details.
the less orders you have for something, the more expensive it is, anything below 25 orders, is very pricey, and the more keys you add the more expensive it is, we wont even get close to 25 ergodox orders, and splitting that order up even further is not an option
what will be offered is an extension kit for to make either the base or alpha set already on offer compatible with an ergodox
once again, this isnt an ergodox groupbuy, i offered an ergodox set before and it ended up costing me a fortune, so i left it otu from this buy, this is just me trying to accommodate the few users who requested it, this is not me trying to set up a buy specifically for the ergodox
I had the idea that it would be the cheaper if you would bundle a version of the solarized alphas with the ErgoDox modifiers and leave the unused keys like the numpad out.
But if this is not the case then the cost must be in the handling and packaging.
I was just thinking about the cost of new low volume keycuts and not the handling.

The lighter set struck me as a bit too close to sun-yellowed white, instead of keys that are supposed to look like that.
Then again depending on how much sun exposure you could say the same about the base set.
It is solarized after all.

time for the bad news guys
you asked for it
so now you have got it
so
costs
5 sets $90.84 per set
10 sets $55.00 per set
25 sets $33.90 per set
50 sets $25.53 per set
75 sets $23.08 per set
thats just for the sets, there are also the price of the legends being cut, which is 100 dollars total, so that cost would be divided buy the amount of people that order
those prices are based on this mockup
http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/#/layouts/effabde2a344ba6d67981dbe50ab0b29
so that being said
lets make a list of people who are in and out
realistically i think you are looking at the 10 price point, i would be shocked if we hit 25, but would be really good for everyone if we did
please everyone get back to me asap about this so we dont hold up the buy too long for everyone

Post by: jefferai on Tue, 17 December 2013, 15:27:55
as an additional note, as you can see from the pricing, its often hard to offer ergodox sets when there is always so little interest, with hyperfuse, i only charged 30 a set, and we sold 13 total, which is why i was so put off this time around
Yeah, I can imagine. I'm going to post on MassDrop on the ErgoDox page and see if we get any last minute interest. If I wasn't also in the HONEY R5 buy for far more than I meant to be, I'd consider getting 2xbase and 2xED if it'd help push the orders up, and sell one set later. If anyone else is in the mood to speculate, I think recouping $135 on the set is not unlikely.

So $25 a legend? How about this, if we reach 10 sets, I will cover the $100 to cut the legends. I do heavily prefer the all blue version I posted tho, in case I go with the lighter keycaps. So yeah, basically I'm willing to throw down around $200 to make this happen. Counting my 2 sets, only need 8 other sets really.
If we don't make 10, I will still take 1 set of blanks.
I really hope I like the ergodox keyboard, I don't even have the parts to build my first yet :eek:

Post by: BunnyLake on Tue, 17 December 2013, 15:40:04
so we can go either way
we are getting a deal on the legend cutting as it is to keep the costs down, they are normally 45 a legend
there is a tipping point between 10 and 25 where it becomes cheaper to order more than less
25 sets comes to 847.50 + 100 for legends
so if say 20 people bought in to that it would be about 47.38 each or 42.38 without the cost of the legends if that gets covered

Thanks for going through the trouble of putting this all together, especially the ergodox set that you knew had been trouble in the past. Unfortunately, I'm not a fan of the hex codes on the keys, so I'm afraid I'm out on this buy.
thanks for the kind words, because of the small amount of people, i had to go with the popular vote and that seemed to be the design, and to add more keys or thin out the order numbers by offering a blank version as well would make it impossible to hit a reasonable price

OK time for the truth - give me as much sets as I can get for $120 max.
5 sets $90.84 per set

50 sets $25.53 per set
75 sets $23.08 per set

The two sets at 25 are still a bit pricier than the one set at 10, so pushing the number of orders over 25 by buying more than one, if that is the only way that we get up to 25 (but if we'd be over 10 anyways), is a net negative for each of those people. Or are people buying two base sets and thinking of a second ErgoDox later on?

I'd definitely be in at the 25 set price point. Maybe we can reach those numbers, we reached 50 set price point on Calm Depths.
well hopefully some more people step forward, and we can get this done for everyone, i guess i will leave it 48 hours or so for the word to get out and to drum up orders, if anyone would like to get in on the dox kit but needs to order the base or alphas kit to go with it, ill allow that too to help push this along, i just cant leave this running indefinitely as it wouldnt be fair to everyone else, but lets see where we stand in 48 hours, if we are close to another price break i can make up the difference or leave it running a little longer

so this doesnt all get lost and so i can get some numbers together, if you would like to order an ergodox kit, please pm me, please only pm me if you are serious about buying one, i think a fair assumption is the pricepoint will be either 10 or 25, if you are not comfortable with either of those price points, i think it is fair to say you may end up disappointed
once again, i wanna get this sorted sooner rather than later, i saw people mentioning they wanted to spread the word to other dox users, that is of course fine, as i said, i opened up the main buy again for a couple days so people could join, but now is the time to do that, i want this all wrapped up by the weekend
thanks for everyones input, you guys are making this happen for yourselves, so lets get this done together

As of this writing, we're down for three sets, 7 committed if we reach 10, and 12 committed if we reach 25; cultofjosh has generously agreed to cover the cost for the legends provided we reach 10)If most of the people who have expressed interest are only committed if higher order numbers are reached, I wonder how that's supposed to happen.
Sets

I recall your post said "almost certain" at 10, I simply didn't want to overstate your position, but I'll update the post accordingly.
thank you for doing this, makes my life much easier

Glad to help, thanks for running the GB for this great set. :) If I'm missing anyone, just PM the names (or just the counts of people I'm missing, if you think anyone would rather remain anonymous) and I'll update the count.
(Also, I just corrected the counts.)

That post was a bit back. When Bunny asked for PMs I told him I was in, period, no restrictions. :-)

Well since we have never had an ALPS caps group buy (yet) I would say that is highly unlikely.
Also ergodox in title and the fact that SP SA profile caps are only for cherry mx should make it a moot point.
So simply put, yes these caps are for cherry mx, just like every other group buy here so far.

Point of interest but SP can do Alps stems, I'm pretty sure they can even do them on all three of their cap profiles. It's just no one's ever come up with the money / demand to make that happen.

Are we still sitting at 10? I'd be in for 2 sets to help reach 25 if we at all close to that mark.
We're at 10 committed, and 15 if we reach 25. FWIW, after we reach 16 committed to buy (outright, not contingent on 25), it becomes more cost-effective just to buy 25. I'm not sure whether the buyers would simply split the extra pieces in this situation or what, but we're six sets away from that point, so the issue may be moot.
Post by: cookiesowns on Fri, 20 December 2013, 04:17:12
Still any possibility of getting the sets shipped before February? With the ergodox delays, would this still be possible?

Bunny,
Still any possibility of getting the sets shipped before February? With the ergodox delays, would this still be possible?
the ergodox is delaying this by about 4 days or so, i will have them sorted by tomorrow, as for when they will ship out, sp normally tells us 4 - 8 weeks, sometimes they are super fast, sometimes its slightly delayed, i guess its dependent on how much they have on etc

Totally misread TravisW's previous post initially.
After reading the last few pages again is Binge in or not? Also is Balanar in for a set no matter what and 2 if we can reach 25 sets?
Edited: totally missed what TravisW said initially

if we have any money less than that we are at the 10 price point
i dont have the numbers to hand but its roughly 100 for the legends to be cut and 850 for the 25 sets, id really like to get this sorted today or tomorrow though
Post by: cultofjosh on Fri, 20 December 2013, 09:46:47
basically we need about 950 dollars for 25 sets, so however that is split doesnt bother me

Not to be pessimistic, but it looks like we're getting the 10. LMK if you are going to put the key cutting donation on my invoice or if I should send that separately. It certainly IS a gift, but I don't want paypal to think it's sketchy.

i am now guaranteeing the 25 price point on the dox kits

i will soon be popping the dox kit on the site with the rest of the penumbra stuff, what im gonna do is set the deadline to sunday night, if when you order, you could all pop your order number of whatever else you ordered in the notes section, that would help me a ton, and ill deduct the shipping charges from all the dox orders as it gets added automatically
ill post here once it is up

Awesome bunny, but you're turning what seems to be a simple order into WalletHack x2, for the better I suppose. Now ergo on penumbra, and raindrop, hnggggg.

It won't be ready in mid-January. Production itself takes 4-8 weeks, then the keycaps have to be sent to Bunny and his team, sorted (they don't come pre-sorted into sets by Signature Plastics), split into individual shipping boxes, and then sent to buyers.

So it sounds like end of feb at least... I'm planned to use my CM QuickFire keycaps at the beginning, oh boy it's whole new world but I can't wait for 3+ month...,

Last question just to be clear this GB is about ergodox specific modifiers keys only or full 76 keyset?

I have two invoices, one for the base set + shipping and one for ErgoDox + cable + shipping. IIRC I should wait on paying this since one or the other should have shipping removed from the amount (I did include my previous order number in the ErgoDox order)? Will I get another invoice for both of them combined?
When I placed the 2nd order the site always listed the shipping in both. When both invoices came in one was priced without shipping. You should notice something similar I'd suspect.

if a prveious order number was in the notes, and i hadnt been asked to cancel an order, shipping should only be charged on one invoice
if it hasnt been done, please send me a pm with both invoice numbers and order numbers and ill check that for you

Round 5 is designed to drive you to excess. Not much you can do about it unless you have some serious will power. Penumbra forced me to cut back, though. I ditched my red alphas :'(

Never ditch the R5 because you can own both the Penumbra and the R5. Together - they are unmatched in the world of key-caps :thumb: .
If you're serious about the SA Profile then you need to put up the moolah to get all that's available.

DCS is SP's cylindrical profile. DSA is SP's short spherical, SA is SP's tall/thick spherical.

There might still be extras! You should contact Bunny to check.
yeah, limited extras of everything, maybe 10 or so base sets, and a handful of everything else

These extras are sorely tempting… and I'd love an excuse to try SA!
It'll be like your first girlfriend then, never experienced that first kiss just yet then wait till the SA plants that big wet tongue down your throat, you won't forget her in a hurry :thumb: .
You need to break your virginal understanding of what that profile truly is because once you go SA, nothing else will ever do.

I'm still waiting for my Calm Depths caps to be shipped. I'm going to end up with 2 SA profile sets for my ErgoDox that is still in transit. Of course, I didn't order the blank caps with the ErgoDox - I wonder how easy it is to type on bare stems.

its gonna be row 3, same as commando, it just makes life easier for people who use other layouts and dox users

Well that's a huge disappointment. The original post says nothing about it being a single row it just says "Keyset is in SA profile and from SP". I have some doubts now because I tried a uniform DSA set from SP and could barely type. I think I really prefer a row-specific set. Can someone gently explain the benefits other than aesthetics and layout flexibility?

Does that include all the modifiers for the normal set as well? I think it would be strange to have different profiles on the mods and alphas.
Thx...

this will be nothing like dsa sir
and to my understanding not every key is row 3, i think the function, bottom and number row are different, its just the alpha non numerical keys and there corresponding mods that are a uniform profile, so a total of 3 rows

this will be how the profile looks that we went for

From the mockups I see that the base color is BED, but I notice that color codes are given on some of the keys.
Are there colored legends on some of the keys or all they all blank?
Edit: Read the thread like a smart person. The color codes actually are the legends, which is pretty cool.

Don't worry too much about it. Sets always go up on classifieds soon after they're shipped out. People realize that they don't like the profile, or need the cash, or whatever. You'll have another chance :thumb:

You probably want to get in on some group buy or another....sourcing the parts yourself can be far pricier.

I believe Bunny generally has extras for most sets he runs so he'll likely offer up spares once he's identified how many full sets are left over.

but we actually have a blog function on the site, which i am gonna start using to post details on buys start to finish, use for detailed updates, future stuff, lots of things, we are becoming increasingly aware we are getting lots of views and orders from outside geekhack, and the site needs to be able to stand out on its own without the need for people to ocme to both the site as well as geekhack
i will still post updates as usual here, but the site will have everything all in one place for people to read and get some insight into other aspects of the buys, without needing to sift through tons of posts
Post by: mashby on Fri, 28 February 2014, 09:50:56
I think that will help make things easier to track for those of us buying sets. Makes it easier than scrolling through the thread when we're looking for just a status update.

Great idea Bunny. :thumb:
I think that will help make things easier to track for those of us buying sets. Makes it easier than scrolling through the thread when we're looking for just a status update.
yeah, we built the functionality for both blog posts as well as updates (updates get emailed to people in that buy) in the update we did before raindrop launched, however ive just had a super busy couple of months
but i am gonna start using it on a regular starting in the coming days, the first post will be a sort of mission statement, and going over clearly exactly where we are at in each of the current buys, and some stuff moving forward
lots of people are in several buys with me/us and itll just be a nice concise way of finding everything, ill keep on top of it and up to date and it should hopefully be a good source of answers for some of the frequently asked questions i get via pms etc
i think the reason i have been putting off doing it is as much as i love keyboards, im a super super lazy typist as everyone here can see, but didnt really necessarily want that on the public facing site, so ill either embrace my typing style or put some time into properly formatting the blog posts etc
we shall see, but its something im looking forward to doing, and i think will be very helpful for everyone

All ABS moulded keys need to be GLOSSY. It's the only finish that enables easy typing with any key profile. Needless to say, if you go SA then you need Glossy to go hand in hand with it :thumb: .

Have to somewhat agree. I don't understand why they try to make ABS textured (we have PBT for that). ABS will eventually shine anyway with a month or two of use, and feels better anyway like that.
Hnnngg... I seriously can't wait for this set. I haven't tried or experienced something new with keyboards in awhile. This will have me typing for fun again :P

Haha, you bet! We should post some shots of penumbra on our identical flicos.
I'm also getting my 87UB 55g soon, so we'll really have very similar boards ;D

Oh man, I really like the white alphas over the cream ones. I don't know if I can afford another set of alphas especially since I've had to hold off on a matching numpad set. :'(
i think if you look at the dox pic, it better represents the color, i dont think itll be that rich i think its just the lighting

Yeah white balance is a *****, I'm sure the standard alphas will look amazing in person.

if you guys can sort it among yourselves that makes my life easier, but if you cant shoot me a pm ill see what i can do for you
Well the issue I'm raising is that the kit mock up from the site showed all dark blue keys. The kit you posted a pic of shows a yellow modifier key. Is that correct or a production issue?
Here's what I'm talking about. This post:
roy g biv it is
i have opened up the orders for a couple days until this is all squared out and so dox users can order the base or alphas etc
so this doesnt all get lost and so i can get some numbers together, if you would like to order an ergodox kit, please pm me, please only pm me if you are serious about buying one, i think a fair assumption is the pricepoint will be either 10 or 25, if you are not comfortable with either of those price points, i think it is fair to say you may end up disappointed
once again, i wanna get this sorted sooner rather than later, i saw people mentioning they wanted to spread the word to other dox users, that is of course fine, as i said, i opened up the main buy again for a couple days so people could join, but now is the time to do that, i want this all wrapped up by the weekend
thanks for everyones input, you guys are making this happen for yourselves, so lets get this done together
Referring to this layout:
Also, trying to avoid working, so here's a Roy G Biv version for no particular reason :)

i went and checked and i cant find it on the old site either sir
the wuote was done on what we received, as that was what was put forward, i know there was talk of changing it, and need to check what was sent as the final revision to sp
i would think the 2 colors contrast enough that the combo may actually look good
right now i dont have the answer but i will look into it sir

thank you, Bunny. You really are the best. If it's too much of a pain in the ass to resolve, I'll just swap with someone else. I just wanted to make sure that this was the kit that was decided on.

Reminds me of Wolverine's costume from the comics a little bit, which to me is a good thing. Really excited for this set.
Are we renaming this set 'Wolverine' or 'snikt!'?
The yellow does look a bit more saturated than in the mockups --- and I love it.
Bunny, can we get a photo of the color-matched cables as well? Also, is there any way to get some blank R1 single-unit keys? I was hoping to get four for my Ducky's extra four keys right above the numpad. If not, no worries, just wondering if they were available.

Bunny, I've seen you mention extras a few times in this thread (I've been following it obsessively since I found it, but alas I was too late to get in on the buy). Any chance there are extras of the ergodox and alpha sets? And if so, how would one go about purchasing them?

Post by: cultofjosh on Fri, 28 March 2014, 12:48:24
I have completely fallen in love with the SA profile. These key caps look fantastic and since most of my coding apps use the Solarlized color pallet, this is going to look perfect in my office!
The instant they arrive, I'm removing Commando 23 and putting massive shine on this key cap set. :p
Agreed. I'm contemplating trying to get some of the extras when they're available despite the fact that I already bought 1 of everything and 2 ergo kits "just in case." Can always use a backup set :)
Not that I've been here all that long, but I do spend quite a bit of time reading the classifieds and group buy threads and this is definitely my favorite set as far as looks go. I haven't actually tried typing on SA profile yet though.

I really don't want to seem impatient but it looks like SP sent bunny some pictures a while back. Does this mean that the keys have all been manufactured and will be shipping to whoever's parceling them out to send to us, or were those just test shots to review before they made the whole order?

Thanks for the update Bunny...I was refering to the MassDrop Ergodox kit I picked up on the most recent round from a month or so back. I know you and the rest of your crew have a lot going on without the added technical trouble that cropped up recently. Maybe I should have been more clear on that in the previous post. I appreciate all that you guys and look forward to the new wonders you will create in the future. Thank you very much for all that you do.

I think the many of us that have been waiting weeks for the chance to purchase a light alphas set are all rather miffed that we didn't figure out that all we had to do was state how sad we were that we didn't order them in the first place and they'd be ours for free.
Seriously, Bunny...not cool.

I can't tell if you're being serious.
If you aren't: hah! I appreciate your sarcasm, because people totally shouldn't care about this.
If you are: hah! You aren't entitled to anything, and bunny is free to give out freebies to whomever he wants, whenever he wants. Bunny loses money on every buy he runs; that free set is coming out of his pocket, not out of the community's. Please don't make bunny feel bad for random acts of kindness.

Yes, you can give anything you want to whoever you want. I'm not being self entitled, though. I'm not asking for a free set, I'm saying that everyone ought to have to play by the same rules.
I did ask, via PM, for a light set to be added to my order and you said that you weren't queuing requests for extras, that the extras would go on sale at some point and that it would be first come first serve. So I've been watching the thread like a hawk since...and if that is what happened, and I didn't get my request in fast enough, then so be it.
So now you're saying that all I had to do was ask for one to be added to my order, which I did weeks ago. Either what you told me before wasn't correct, or what you're telling me now isn't correct.
I'm honestly not trying to be a pain, but please understand that when information being given keeps changing, it causes confusion, and that turns to annoyance if it seems like following prior information and trying to play by what you understood to be the rules ends up causing you to lose out on things.

At the time before, we either hadn't yet or just received the sets, we need time to go through orders and the sets, see exactly what's left etc, our intention was and is to put all extras up on the website so all orders are logged correctly etc, that function is now built in but wih my paypal frozen it's on hold, now we are further down the line I know the numbers of all the extras, once my paypal is up and running I'll be able to add extras to people's orders, the reason I state I can't reserve things before we are ready to sell is you have no idea how many people pm me, if I did that, the extras would have been long gone before you messaged, and out of all those people, who send me a message like hey can you hold that for me I'll pay on such and such date, tons never come through, it just becomes a pain, so I just make it fair for everyone, however, me giving a set away doesn't affect that, and that's my choice, once my paypal is fixed I will make sure there is a set available to you if you still want one at that time
Sorry for iPad message

Sure, that's what you told me when I put in my request earlier. I'm totally cool with that. So I've just been watching the thread waiting for extras to go up.
and out of all those people, who send me a message like hey can you hold that for me I'll pay on such and such date, tons never come through, it just becomes a pain
Didn't know that was such a big problem. Does indeed sound like a pain.

I do want to apologize, I have not meant to dictate what Bunny does with his caps. It's my first group buy, and I have been thinking of him mostly as a vendor (since his GH tag said so earlier, although now it says Maker), and so ascribing more of a commercial philosophy than a personal philosophy to him. They are indeed his caps, he bought them, and (for those that haven't been paid for already, at least :D) can do what he wants with them.
:thumb:
It's easy to fall into that trap of thinking that GB organizers are vendors first and community members second. Click Clack has a great post about this in his FAQ that I think applies to a lot of the people who provide cool stuff for this community.

As there are some commercial vendors in the forums it can be hard to know who's just a guy running a GB cause he likes it and from whom you should be expecting a more commercial approach to things.

Is there anything we can do to help? Would a bunch of us telling DoughFoe "Hey, we actually bought this stuff, give the guy his money" possibly speed up the process of getting them to pay out so you can start shipping?
no its all in hand sir
basically what they wanna do is set a reserve on my account, as goods are being shipped outside of the dispute window, what im not trying to argue with them is the correct amount, they initially want to set it at a level which would make it impossible for us to operate, so im just really going back and fourth with them about numbers right now,
but we will get something sorted soon

That is why anyone who has dealt with Paypal as an organizer knows the misery you are now facing. They make it difficult due to the idea that everyone who uses their services are potential money launderers and crims. The stupidly complicated process of settling upon agreed amounts so Paypal doesn't freeze your account during a Group Buy is what a majority of people here on GH will never face.
Hence they don't understand what is involved and think that everything should arrive fast and quickly to their addresses. When you are forced to deal with Paypal in running a group buy here, then you will know the 7 stages of hell before you arrive into it.
Take your time Bunny and maintain the faith that most of us here will wait on our key-caps because you are the one running this. Just hope everything comes through for you and your team.

Yep. I actually have my account frozen now for similar reasons. After a lot of talks with them I compiled a list on how to avoid this problem...the last two bullet points are especially important: http://deskthority.net/viewtopic.php?t=7312

Many people such as myself have ordered the base set as well as an extra set of solarized alpha keys.
There will be a slew of extra alphas and solarized alphas as soon as everyone gets their keys on hand.
I'm probably going to sell my entire order but I want to check it out in person first.

Hmm, I'm debating on letting my order go, as well.
I love the colorway, but I'm too much of a fan of DSA.

I don't know Ryan Uber but he nailed it. Half the time software/terminal implementations of Solarized are wrong in either absolutes (wrong colors) or spirit (misunderstanding color relationships). The fact that this set not only has accurate color rendition but also comprehends the spirit of Solarized and implements it in plastic blew me away. Well done Ryan, bunnylake, and anyone else that was involved. Love the large type as well.
I know that I'm late to the show and the buy is done, but I'd love to purchase a set at some point. Is this the best place to post a WTB or should I just pm whomever is listing them for sale in this thread? If none available, should I WTB in the general classifieds forum? This is secondary to my main intent posting here, however, which is just to say "great work."
Seriously, I'm speechless and very happy to see Solarized in keycap form.

I'm the designer of the Solarized colorscheme (http://ethanschoonover.com/solarized) and an occasional GH lurker (mechanical user/fan) and my jaw hit the floor when I came across these in a recent keycap search (randomly searching for DSAs, new keyboards, etc... I seriously hollered out loud and my wife looked askance). Seriously. Amazing. I love it.

Good sir, cheers to you for coming up with an awesome theme such as this! It takes a lot to get me spending over $100 on keycaps, and is probably the first time I've done so for Cherry MX. Absolutely beautiful! We're all looking forward to grabbing our sets with great anticipation!
Regarding the acquisition, I would PM BunnyLake about this and I'm sure he'll work something out for you, but I do not speak for him :P Otherwise, reaching the required post count will allow you to post a WTB in the classifieds.

Ethan, thank you for your work on Solarized! It's a theme I use every day for my work. It's the only theme I can comfortable toggle between light and dark on a regular basis without a significant context switch.
I'll make sure that BunnyLake sees your note, and I'm confident that he'll be able to hook you up with a set.

I use a Solarized theme in Eclipse and ADT and it makes long coding sessions so much easier on the eyes.

Solarized will be one of the most decent colour-ways created and sold here on Geekhack. I'm sure Ethan that BunnyLake, will take care of you with regards of acquiring this ultra beautiful key-set and remember it's not how many keyboards you collect it's how you decorate them with the right key-set that counts :thumb: .

This is so cool to see you posting here and being a mechanical keyboard fan!! Your theme is very beautiful, and it's only fitting that it was finally applied to keycaps. Welcome to geekhack :)

Ethan, thank you for your work on Solarized!...
Nice to know that the GH community uses Solarized. It was a work of many months and a real obsession with detail, which I think the GH community as a whole can relate to more than most... I suppose this is as much a part of my tribe as any (obsessive aesthetic perfectionists)...
...remember it's not how many keyboards you collect it's how you decorate them with the right key-set that counts :thumb: .
That's good to hear! But I'm still not returning the two new keyboards I just ordered today :) Going to try some MX Clears to see if I like them, and some blacks for comparison since I've never used linear before.

Yeah, I'm a pretty obsessive mechanical keyboard fan. I'd be building some DIY if I had more time (and even *without* free time I'm still considering a build). Looking forward to catching up on my GH reading. Seems like a lot is going on that I've missed recently. I can't believe the number of drop in custom controllers available now, for example, let alone the keycaps that have proliferated. All amazing.

Awesome stuff man! I didn't start coding until recently, but I feel in love with the solarized palette because of this group buy, and the instant I started coding in sublime, I flicked the theme to solarized light. I really can't wait till these keys arrive!

How is Sublime's implementation of Solarized btw? I usually prefer Paraiso in that editor as Solarized seems to turn out very dark, at least when working with Python.

Thanks so much for Solarized! Like many here, I use it daily and it my eyes are much happier for it. If you haven't seen it, check out what was done with the ErgoDox set...ED users tend to remap things so we (meaning ErgoDox users like myself) needed something generic from the GB. I don't remember who came up with the final design for the modifier keys but when they proposed it it was immediately obvious that that was the way to go...I think you'll like it.

I can heartily recommend Ergo Clears. I really love them. Once I got used to them I basically never bottom out, and the feel is fantastic. If you do tend to bottom out, though, they will make you pay for it. And you have to be sure to get lube and a stiff enough spring so they don't stick.

Just did an ErgoDox myself recently, and it was awesome. My first DIY project of that magnitude, and the feeling of typing on something you built from component parts is like nothing else. Feel free to ping me if you are thinking about an ED and want or need any help/tips/pointers.

I saw those yesterday and thought the color values were a clever option. I tend to use blanks or at least blank modifiers for the same reason (heavy remapping). I usually find pictures on keycaps too twee (not all but most) so this seems like a great non-specific-text solution that retains the visual interest and rhythm that a purely blank keycap lacks.

not that i am aware of, ive sent shipping money to raccoon, as well as split all the orders into US and not etc as well as split them all in to ones with and without cables, so he has everything he needs to get them moving, i just havent managed to get hold of him for a few days for a catch up as to where we are at, dont get me wrong, there is no cause for concern, i just need to catch up with him to find out where we are at and when we are moving, as soon as i have my order of penumbra i will have all the uk and eu turned around that day
the cables were really stalling things for a time, he had a lot of school work from my understanding and recently was sitting his finals, last time i spoke to him we went through everything with all the buys and what needed to be done etc, once i next speak to him ill update everyone and be able to give a good idea of whats going out and when

he has been mega busy finishing up with school
he says as of this weekend he will be getting back to normal, and this will be a priority to him and the penumbra orders without cables will all go out shortly, and the one with cables will be out shortly after

ok i just spoke to raccoon,
he has been mega busy finishing up with school
he says as of this weekend he will be getting back to normal, and this will be a priority to him and the penumbra orders without cables will all go out shortly, and the one with cables will be out shortly after
Hey Bunny,
Think he would be able to send out my order without cables first? And then just group the cables with the Rain Drop? Or would it just be more efficient to keep things the way they are.
I'm not in a huge rush.

having spoken to him, from what i gather he will be shipping the non cable orders next week, and the cables should all be finished a week or 2 later, so i would advise to just keep the order as is, it wont be much more of a delay and it may save some possible mistakes occurring

Thanks Binge! Great set & fast shipping :D
Awesome pics.
How do they feel on the red switch?
I was thinking of putting them on my red filco but thought that the caps might too heavy for red.

Awesome pics.Thanks! I'm trying to improve my photo taking skills so I tried a bit harder than normal on this one.

They're great on reds! It's kind of nice actually, WPM is about the same (70ish...) since they have a tad bit more weight (probably only like a 1-2g force different tops if even that from normal keys, could be wrong but that's my take) and also the profile is much taller than the stock Leopold caps so it's as though there is less travel distance. Definitely a interesting change from the cherry profile I'm used to.

Rock on. I have a keyboard sitting here dying for new Penumbra caps.
You and I both :thumb: . I set aside those keyboards that desperately need them and they have been gathering dust sitting on the shelves waiting for these Penumbras.
Ah well you know how Group Buys are here, a lot of waiting and praying goes on till they arrive on your doorstep.

I'm going to be moving in the next couple weeks so hopefully these get shipped out in the next couple days.
Any chance TFR could post an update here for CONUS orders?

Glad that everything is finally coming together with this order, hope you send out everyone's soon. Thanks for everything BunnyLake :thumb: .

Absolutely! I now regret that I didn't pull out my color calibration card to balance the color on this. Maybe I'll do that in a moment.
And man oh man... these SAs are so great. The only downside is my WPM has temporarily dropped while I stop to feel the keycaps or stare at the colorscheme again.
Typing on Penumbra keycaps while coding in Solarized is recursively awesome. ;)

The 0/1 combo worked out to be the correct SA profile for the respective rows (SA2/SA3) - I use these for volume, with modified presses acting as play/pause, mute, next/prev track, etc.

Here's Penumbra on my Leopold FC660M. I had to modify the spacebar to fit the leopold stabilizer positions and the right shift is obviously from the numpad keycaps (and has a slight gap around it, though not the deal breaker visually that I feared it would be).

Thankies!
The yellow isn't as bad as people made it out to be. I actually really like it (looks really soft), and it looks great on that keyboard also. I like how it contrasts with the white. I can't wait to have it on my Dox, which also has a white PCB, so it should look as great! And yes, that geekhack key is awesome.

Not sure where in the USA you are but here in Boston I have increasingly been able to find Australian imports in larger (and not even upmarket) supermarket chains in the "World Foods" section...including quite a selection of candy.
As much as I love Australian candy, nothing will make me eat Maltesers again. As much as I respect the idea behind their Roller ad (http://youtu.be/UcraY0ZkyTI), it ain't good candy.

Not sure where in the USA you are but here in Boston I have increasingly been able to find Australian imports in larger (and not even upmarket) supermarket chains in the "World Foods" section...including quite a selection of candy.
As much as I love Australian candy, nothing will make me eat Maltesers again. As much as I respect the idea behind their Roller ad (http://youtu.be/UcraY0ZkyTI), it ain't good candy.
You take that back right now! Maltesers are the bomb :P
It's okay...Whoppers suck too :D
Whoppers are SO bad.
I loved them as a kid but they taste like plastic to me now.
I thought people just went to Australia for Tim Tams and Vegemite. Oh, and did anyone get Arnott's teddy bear biscuits? I went for three weeks in 1999 to set up an ancient refurbished machine for their teddy bears.
Ugh... missing Australia pretty bad right now... I ran out of Vegemite like a month ago... the prices on Amazon are absurd. I think I was posting and talking to people on here in another thread on cheaper ways to obtain some... LOL.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/H333Qk3.jpg)

The old Tim Tams were pretty good but now they're made in Indonesia so they are not Australian anymore. Plus they now taste quite foul with what ever ingredients that are being used now.
Vegemite isn't Australian owned anymore, but it's still tastes like salt when eaten by anyone. Only the strong can eat it from a spoon only, still my all time favourite :thumb: .
I remembered Teddy Bear biccies from my era. Also don't forget Milk Arrowroot biscuits that were good and cheap, plus we always had them at tea time. Also don't forget Wagon-Wheels because I use to walk for miles to the deli up near Kalbarri when I was young, for that tasty treat.

Shame on them ruining Tim Tams,as I recall they were a bit like british penguin bars but way better quality and more varieties. Mind you I also recall Natalie Imbruglia (or some other neighbours actress) explaining how to bite opposing corners off them, use them as a straw for coffee, then eat the biscuit after (godly). Wagon wheels are a firm favourite and my local shop 20 yards away sells 6 packs, so no walkabout here to get them. Vegemite has cult status all over the world, not just because of Men at Work. I think its possible to buy it direct from some UK stores these days.
Maltesers seem to be mostly marketed in the UK as chocolate for girls. A few adverts about women sat together discussing how crap men are over a bag of them.

Watch out for wildlife when you put that Vegemite on the spoon. Animals are naturally attracted to salt licks.

From what's being said so far, The rest of the orders are waiting on cables?
we have an asian proxy who will send the other orders out, we just need to finish off all the cables to get that order out
I'd imagine AUS is included, we're pretty much the same area of the globe.
Don't worry, I'm sure these beautiful caps will make it to our island eventually.

For a lot of Bunny-led group buys I understand that BunnyLake distributes the European orders, and the Aussie ones ship directly from the US.
Not sure about this Asian proxy, whether that includes Australia.

it works out abotu the same to ship from here to australia as it does form the states i think, it costs me about 20 dollars, but then i also have to factor in shipping form the states to me, however, this is what im gonna do, it takes some of the load away from raccoon, and will most likely result in sets going out faster, so as of raindrop, i will be shipping the sets also to malaysia, indonesia, australia and new zealand

I'll just buy second hand from Binge next time.
ok, so although im gonna reply to your comment in particular, you are really gonna get the brunt of a bit of built up stuff regarding your point
firstly, your attitude really pisses me off, whether or not you are trying to be funny
so, for a start, binge has his sets, because i got them to him
next, all of the sets i was sending, with the exception of 2, were sent in under 24 hours of me receiving the sets
i spend literally 4- 10 hours of every day working on this stuff, i dont know what you expect me to do, i dont ship canadian orders, we have a conus and canada proxy, he has the order numbers, he has the shipping money, and he has the keysets, i try and contact him frequently, last i heard from him, he packed up a ton of orders and sent me a pic of it, i havent been able to contact him since, im sure he is busy, this isnt a job, this is a hobby, we all work on this during our personal time, i just happen to have more leisure time than most people
we are all here because we want these keysets, your input was click a couple buttons and sit back and wait, we build and maintain a website to facilitate that being easier for you, design the mockups of the sets, get quotes, assume all the risk, collect all the payments, deal with chargebacks, order transfers and changes, late orders, constant questions, split the set between different proxies, do the sorting, pack the orders, ship them, deal with missing keys and orders
i am doing all i can, whilst you make snarky comments at me
my sets are out, raccoon has your set, they are packed, they should be out soon
in short
feel free to buy second hand next time

Given the overwhelming contribution Bunny et al., has made to the keyboard enthusiast community, this comment is underserved and petty.

Agreed. We all get impatient sometimes and snarky -- I know I do -- but wether it was intentional or not, your comments are really uncalled for.

I am surprised you even responded to that crap. We love you Bunny, don't let a few impatient people get under your skin. Don't get me wrong, it would piss me off if I had to put up with that crap...
To add some perspective for anyone who is *****ing... I paid for Round 5 before this GB even started and that GB is not even in production yet (from what I can tell). I will be receiving my Penumbra sets long before my Round 5 sets.
There is no other GB organizer who gets GBs turned around as fast and cleanly as Bunny. He is BY FAR the fastest, most responsive and generous GB organizer on GH, so everyone needs to CHILL THE **** OUT... Yes, we are all excited for these sets because they are epic, but cool your jets and show some ****ing respect for the hard work these guys are doing for you...

i can promise everything done on my end is very fast and efficient, i am painfully aware we got a bit backed up on the US side of things, but people understand nobody is twiddling their thumbs on the job here, raccoons time was very limited for a while, and he took on a lot of stuff, he has to send the orders to both me and asia, receive everything of course, pack the US and canada stuff ( which is always by far the most orders) and make a ton of cables,
the cables aare what caused us most of the issues outside of raccoons schedule, because of the price point we sold them at, we sold way more than we anticipated, and the number grew bigger with every buy, we didnt wanna stop offering the cables as they were popular, nor did we wanna artificially increase the cost to thin the numbers, so here we are, playing catch up, but the catching up is happening, we have the sets, most are packed and out or about to be out (still waiting on hearing back from raccoon as to the status of that)
he assures me everything is in hand now and i have every faith in him, if people could just be a little patient, we will have everything out to you soon
its not like we are keeping people in the dark here, or not responding, im always here, and if anyone ever has any concerns you can always pm me

As always Bunny is making it happen day by day. Considering how many Key-sets [CTRL]ALT is responsible for sending all over the globe now, is something so nightmarish I wouldn't wish it upon my worse enemies.
Yet Bunny still keeps a sane disposition despite the enormity of the tasks that have been set and it's being done even as we speak (type) 8) .

I have a phantom keyboard in a CM QFR case and I'm having a slight problem with the keys that require stabilizers (both Costar and Cherry plate-mounted). When I put these keys on my keyboard, they tend to stick a lot (if not completely). All my other keycaps seem to be working fine -- tried OEM and Cherry.
Any ideas?

Curious what switches people prefer with these SAs. I have tested for about a week each on blacks and clears. I love the sound of the blacks with these caps, but I'm coming down solidly in favor of clears ultimately. For general typing/coding obviously...
GREENS every time, just no comparison with any other when using these superb coloured switches :thumb: .

Other question, from where i can get the 89 Base Layout? (the sheet of paper under the Penumbra set) so that I can arrange the buttons.
Need TKL and Iso 105 Key.

I love the feel of the SA. The caps feel so buttery smooth and I really like the spherical tops. The profile is a pleasant change from OEM. I miss them already now that I'm at home and on my stock Ducky caps. I will have more SA caps in time.

Received my set today! Looks much nicer in person. The light cream color is very nice and neutral, the yellow is an interesting yellow--like melted butter--and the dark blue is a teal-ish rich navy blue.

It's hard to tell from the photos but, do the F and J keys feel different? I don't see a nub on them but I remembered someone saying they were domed differently or something.
Post by: VesperSAINT on Mon, 07 July 2014, 20:51:51
Also, I gotta say -- this is my first set of keycaps with SA, and WHAT A DIFFERENCE. Gone is the high-pitched clickety-clack of DCS; in its place a nice, deep click. The feeling under my fingers is phenomenal...they're just a joy to feel and type on. The greater separation between key tops is great too, both aesthetically and for feeling around when typing.

Quite nice to type on with stock MX Clears!
Sigh. I made a huge mistake in not buying these :(

They are only very dark in dim lighting. In daylight, they are a nice marine kind of navy color. In yellow indoor light they almost look teal-navy.

I seem to be missing the Home key. I'll drop you a PM, Bunny.

It's hard to tell from the photos but, do the F and J keys feel different? I don't see a nub on them but I remembered someone saying they were domed differently or something.
To me, the F and J keys do not feel any different. For the moment, I've put a little square from a Ptouch label on the F and J keys to add a bit of roughness to those keys. When my Calm Depths set arrives, I may swap out the F and J keys with some of the deep dish keys that's part of that order. The colors won't quite fit, but I'll see how it goes.

I'm really sad to hear that. I depend on F & J feeling different quite a bit. Set looks great but I swear I read somewhere that they were supposed to be different =(

Sometime with SA then are just deeper indents of the F and J keys. The SA-ish profile on my hi-profile Realforce has deeper indents for the whole home row alpha keys.

Post by: swill on Tue, 08 July 2014, 08:07:30
Yeah, this is what I had been asking about - the number pad set includes a deep indent 5 key, but the only F and J key I found in my set are the regular ones. I'm not angry about this, was just wondering if I was missing a couple keys, but it sounds like it's everyone.
It is kind of too bad there is no way to find f and j with distinct caps. I use that pretty extensively. We will see how I adjust.

I was sorry to see that scoops weren't included, but I haven't really missed them. Been typing for two days without incident, so it's more of a preference than a requirement I suppose.

i was unaware of this, the set was meant to come with scoops, all the mockups that were sent indicated scoops in the same way we always would, and in the same way it was indicated for the numpad
so no idea how one could happen and not the other
ill try find out what the deal is
Post by: nomaded on Tue, 08 July 2014, 11:53:22
Any recommendations on oil/grease/compound that I should apply (after carefully pulling off all the keycaps again)?
Post by: BunnyLake on Tue, 08 July 2014, 11:56:26
This might be off-topic, but these keycaps seem rather tight for the Clear keys on my ErgoDox. I've already ripped out a couple of stems from while trying to pull off the keycap. Luckily, I was able to keep track of the spring, and re-assemble the key.

that happens a lot with clears as they have an extra little bump, i find sorta wiggling the cap as im removing it helps

Yeah, that's pretty much what I've been doing after the first couple that I ripped out. If that's all that's needed, I'll just continue with the wiggling.

Alright Penumbra scoops groupbuy, lets start one up. Otherwise I'll have this long enough to mail it to someone else.I very heavily depend on f & j being different as well. I'd be in for a scoop groupbuy haha.
Once I get my set, I'll try them out and see if I can adjust but I have a bad feeling that I'll be putting mine on the marketplace =(

Hopefully it was an oversight on SP's part and they'll remedy the situation. However, I have no issues doing a separate GB for them if necessary. It would appear that others are of the same opinion. :cool:

The 5 on the numberpad does have a deeper scoop, or rather: there's an option for both.

For those of us that got cables where they haven't shipped yet, maybe delay shipping a bit longer. I wouldn't mind if it means much less hassle and cost on your end.

yeah, there were a couple eu/uk/orders im sending that i didnt have cables for yet, so for people i knew i decided to osend the sets anyway and ill forward the cables once i have them at my own expense

Here's Penumbra on my Leopold FC660M. I had to modify the spacebar to fit the leopold stabilizer positions and the right shift is obviously from the numpad keycaps (and has a slight gap around it, though not the deal breaker visually that I feared it would be).Do you have any picture of the spacebar mod? I tried doing it once and I just ruined a spacebar.

Dremel, superglue and some sacrificial keycaps is all you need. Unless you are some sort of dremel wizard you'll destroy the two stems in the spacebar that overlap the location of the new keycaps, so the sacrificial keycaps will be used just for the stems. I know some people use white-tack or similar gummy/sticky material instead of modding the spacebar like this. YMMV.
There is some crazing on the blue spacebar from, if i remember correctly, superglue accelerant (just don't use it or test in a small spot first). It's not visible from the top in this case, so it's a non issue.

OMG I have never laid eyes on a more beautiful set of keycaps. These things are gorgeous. I have been so excited for these for months and they are every bit as good as I was hoping. Super happy right now.
Still getting used to the profile. I am switching from IMSTO Cherry PBT, so I can't really think of a bigger transition than that. It will take a moment to get used to, but I will manage. ;) I don't think it is possible to o-ring these caps (just looking at them anyway), so that is probably going to be the hardest thing for me to get used to.

I have to say the wait was worth it! Only thing I'm kind of curious about now is standard SA profile. The alphabet letter rows feel slightly tall compared to the rows above and below it, and I feel like I probably would've preferred the lower and more dish shape of the standard SA profile, but this still feels absolutely amazing!

These are going to go soooooo fast.
Guys... anyone who owns a set... run your fingers along the top of the number row... I'm running my fingers across between the number row and function row... and it feels so butter smooth... I sound like a pervert but if you do it, you'll understand... Trust me... TRUST ME.

The only TINY issue I have found so far is that the little coster stabilizer inserts are super loose and can fall out. I have a fix for that though (cause that can also happen with IMSTO pbts). I take a lighter and wave the end over the flame for like 1/2 a second, then press my finger against it. It deforms the end of the insert just enough to make it tight. Problem solved. Careful with the lighter, it is VERY easy to over do it. If you mess it up, you can trim it down a bit with a sharp knife.
Scotch tape squares on the stem of the stabilizer inserts works perfectly for me every time.

Arn't you worried about stuff getting stuck in the keycap when you take them out?
I found the lighter technique to work perfectly for me and I never have to worry about them again. :)

Hehe. I did initially but if you put the sticky part on the stabilizer inserts, it'll never get stuck in there (at least from my many experiences doing it the past 2.5 years). It just comes out stuck on the insert, and it's comes off very easy, not that you'd need to, because you just throw it into another cap afterwards.
Your lighter technique sounds very interesting! I'll definitely have to give it a shot next time. Thanks :D

The original color scheme had an off-white color for the alphas. During the Interest Check it was changed to more of a cream color, but some of us still pined for the original color so BunnyLake was kind enough to produce both. They're called Solarized Alphas (https://ctrlalt.io/buys/penumbra-solarized).
Post by: TravisW on Thu, 17 July 2014, 08:45:15
The shipment was well-packaged:
(http://i.imgur.com/y29QFfb.jpg)
I ordered three kits (base, tenkey, Ergodox) but there were just two bags---my Ergodox kit was missing, which I suppose is just as well, as the Ergo kit I ordered from Massdrop was delayed because they had to source a part, the MX clears I imagine. (
(http://i.imgur.com/V1sKFVb.jpg)
Speaking of Ergodox, I never heard anything about the misprinted caps in the Ergo kit (per this post: http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=51026.msg1273380;topicseen#msg1273380 ), so I assume we won't be getting corrections, which is disappointing. Bunny, is there any chance of a kit with corrected versions of the two affected cap designs being tacked onto a later group buy, or even a round two?
Eager to test drive the keys, I put them onto my daily driver, a SteelSeries 7G, which I hadn't cleaned thoroughly since picking it up seven or eight months ago.
(http://i.imgur.com/U9oiG9w.jpg)
(I cleaned it before putting the new keycaps on.) I knew that the big enter was going to a be a problem, but (not having planned to use this set on this board) I hadn't realized before now that the set didn't have 1x backspace and backslash keys. (Incidentally, I wish I had known when I bought the SteelSeries that its enter key was nonstandard and hence was tough to customize, so at some point I'll sell it and pick up a tenkeyless with a standard layout.) The DELETE key is a nice bonus, too, though I'm not sure when I'll get to use it.
(http://i.imgur.com/ZDH0O1M.jpg)
Dealing with the 1x backspace/backslash spots is no problem with this stopgap, though:
(http://i.imgur.com/I5YZEGu.jpg)
A few more thoughts: (1) The height of the profile combined with the black switches makes for a really (maybe too) smooth typing experience, so I think I'll like typing on the set (even) more once I get my MX clear Ergodox built. (2) The yellow is (to my delight) rather mellower than they look in the pics posted (mine included), close to the color of fresh butter. (3) The white alphas look sharp in the photos posted so far, and makes me regret not having picked them up.
Thanks again!

They look and feel great!. As I mentioned previously, I stuck some little squares of tape (not pictured) on F & J so I could figure out where my hands are. Anyone else having trouble adjusting to the num row being the same profile as the alpha rows? It's not really impacting my typing much, it just feels a little off.

Ya, I love this set. It photographs so well too. It is just a beautiful piece of work. There are so many little things that I just love. The extra keys are great. Both novelty, and tick and pipe in both colors. The fact that the lettering on the alphas is like a charcoal blueish grey, it just fits the pallet so beautifully. Really loving this set so far. Even getting used to not using o-rings, but I am looking forward to using silicon balls to see how they feel.

It's an idea from the 'trampoline mod' thread. Here is where mine are coming from:
http://imsto.cn/index.php?route=product/product&path=61&product_id=88
Basically you put a soft ball in the center of the bottom switch housing. This causes the stem to hit the ball first when the switch is depressed.
I believe clicky switches have a slightly longer stem than non-clicky, so there will be more travel reduction with them. I have not tested to verify this, but I will include these tests in my o-ring guide when I write it...
Since o-rings can not be used with SA caps, I am hoping this is a way to completely avoid o-rings on my boards while still getting soft dampening.

Don't sweat it, because SP had lapsed when producing some keys so Bunny is making sure it all goes out to everyone with what they ordered. So that means waiting will be inevitable for all concerned.
The US crowd isn't the only ones still waiting for their key-sets so just trust in Bunny and his crew to finish shipping everything out. I've never been ripped off by CTRL/ALT because they have delivered everything I have paid for thus far.
Although I am still confidently waiting for my Penumbra Set to arrive here as well.

I love seeing your posts, beautiful photos as always! This makes me so excited to get my set, it's gonna be a super sweet surprise when they show up and then I panic trying to figure out what to do with my granite set because I *need* these on my Poker II!

Thanks for the high compliments, breh <3 I'm glad you enjoy them.
Yeah, dood. Get hyped because these don't disappoint. You think they look smooth in the pictures, wait till you get your hands on them... they will surprise all your expectations.

You're not the only one here, I still am salivating for mine to arrive at my address.
The Penumbra will be the most desired key-set for some time to come, I don't think you'll see many being sold in the classifieds unless the seller is a complete moron to give them up.

This set has helped me realize the awesome that is the SA Profile. I also have had people stopping by my desk asking about my keyboard daily since I got the Penumbra. I wasn't sure how I was going to like them at first but now I want all the keyboards to be decked out with "all the SA!" Thanks Ctrl Alt for the awesome key cap set. :thumb: I'm very glad this was my first GB! 8)
You lucky devil, getting in on the ground floor of Excellence here :thumb: . Nice to see another SA Lover who has seen the light of perfection when it comes to this particular profile. Of course the SA profile looks spectacular when placed into a full sized keyboard like any standard Filco, Ducky or Cherry G80 3000 series.
Seeing all those beautiful keys lined up for your impending use is like a Concert Pianist getting ready to perform a fantastic musical set. They make a perfect sound when used on any standard Ergo-Clears, Greens and the God switch, all Greys 8) .
Over time as more of your keyboards start furnishing these brilliant profiles you will know what true nirvana is like, when it comes to using your keyboards to type anything.

Hey guys, have the left overs from this buy been sold yet or are they waiting till after everyone's has been shipped from the actual buy? If not, does anyone know roughly when they'll be going up?
Shipping is still on going. Bunny will update the thread when we get closer to selling the extras. There will also likely be a message on Ctrl Alt when they go up for sale as well.

I'd HAVE to have the white alphas instead though. Don't really care for the base alphas, they look to yellow for me (wish they were more of a tan color).

I love how we always seem to be in the same GB's, whenever I'm worried a package might have disappeared I just check to see if you've got yours yet haha
Is it just me or is US post to WA taking way longer than usual? Seems like my last 5-6 packages have all taken over a month to arrive when they used to arrive in less than a fortnight.

i'm going to sell mine, because i don't like the SA profile. i have bought into the GB and while it was going on, i bought the filco sphericals SA caps and used those. SA is not for me and i will be selling the penumbra set.

elrick is just passionate sir, he is certainly eccentric (hope he doesnt mind me saying that) but he doesnt mean to cause offence, he just strongly believes in his own opinions , behind the scenes and in private, he is a very kind and understanding individual and i have dealt with him many time
there are many people on geekhack who are down right nasty pieces of work, but elrick isnt one of them, as i say, he is just a super passionate individual and although you may take offence to what he says, i dont believe his intention was to offend you, but that he was just using language he believe expresses his points

Geez when I have Bunny defending me to another person here, it's like a mate paying for a pint when not asked for. Bunny is first and foremost a 100% decent individual here on Geekhack and I won't have him defending me to others here who think I am being 'rude' and 'offensive'. It's not in my nature to apologize for anything because it aint a Convict's Demeanor to ever say sorry.
When you spend time in prison there are no instances to ever say sorry because it's usually sorted between the opposing parties, very quickly. Time to harden up 8) .

Hey guys another quick question on this set since I'm getting really keen on them. I just noticed that they're ABS. Now I'm a bit of a keycap noob but the impression I had was that ABS was of lower quality to PBT, in that it shines relatively quickly and can suffer from discolouration over time. Can anyone help me figure out if these concerns are well founded or just stigma?
People hype PBT wayyy too much around here. These caps are actually already shiny so that's not a problem and I wouldn't be worried about discoloration on a colored set, it's really only noticeable on really old white sets.
As for PBT being higher quality, I think it depends on who manufactured them. Personally I think the pinnacle of keycap manufacturing are Cherry doubleshots, they're far nicer than any PBT set I've ever used. I would like to try a Cherry dye sub PBT set but finding them at the right price is tough.

Okay, awesome. That's pretty much what I was hoping to hear :). I just didn't want to risk buying into a set that wouldn't last without checking first. Thanks for your help! (if anyone else has their 2c to give on the matter I'm more than happy to hear it!)

I personally prefer the feel of PBT caps, but that is just a texture thing. If you compare high quality ABS vs high quality PBT, you can't go wrong with either. I hated ABS until I got this set, and I love this set. The market is flooded with crap quality ABS caps, which is most likely where the PBT hype comes from.

What bueller said. The shine thing with ABS (which is still an issue with PBT) aren't really a problem with double shots because the legends will always be visible even after lots of use. The style of keycaps/manufacturer also makes a difference. GMK Cherry ABS doubleshots are thick (1.2-1.5mm) which is comparable to thick PBT caps (Ducky's blank keys, Vortex (poker ii's) keys). These keys are the thickest keys Signature Plastics makes. The DSA/DCS profile keys they make are less thick than these which are SA profile. Also as mentioned by bueller these have a smooth/shiny finish already.

I'm still waiting, but that's because I got a custom cable -- I think all other U.S. orders may have been shipped. I'm not sure what the status is on the scooped keys -- maybe holding off on shipping until those arrive?

i spoke to him a few days ago when he told me he would be back late the next day
i havent been able to catch up with him since but his last words to me were
"I'll be working in overdrive until I'm caught up with everything"
he assures me he is committed to getting this all sorted as soon as possible
as soon as i hear from him i will update the thread but things will be moving again soon
sadly this has been out of my control

It's been quite a while since I have been on GeekHack, but I wanted to drop by and say a HUGE "thank you" to everyone who made this set a reality. This is an outstanding community and the keys came out really great!
I ran a tiny group buy ~1 year ago and couldn't believe how much work was involved in getting it done. This buy is on a completely different scale, and I'm very thankful we have had such a gracious host as BunnyLake, ctrlalt, proxies, and anyone else helping to see this through to the end. They have undoubtedly poured quite some hours into making this happen.
GeekHack, you are the awesome.

The Penumbra is finally making it's way to my sh1tty place here in Western Australia. This is one key-set that has been lusted after for such a long time until Toxic, Bro Set and other delights start rolling in. It's good to still be alive and enjoy the Bunny and his crew's excellent service and products.

We don't worship any deities in my house but if we did you'd be top of the list :)

Have all the sets shipped out in the USA? I'm still waiting for mine and the site said it was shipped well over a month ago.
just checked the site
your order doesnt say shipped
not sure how you could have gotten a shipping notification
penumbra usa orders will continue and conclude shortly

I guess I'll continue to wait and wait.
Number one preoccupation here on Geekhack is to wait, because what else is there to do 8) ? Even I may lose my cool over a Group Buy due to outside influences, which isn't the fault of GH or the Organizers here. Hence you need to develop a very high tolerance of being extremely calm and patient.
I think it's an ancient British character of always being Calm and Carrying On regardless to everything else that might happen to you in real life. Bunny exemplifies that strong tradition with extreme ease and composure :thumb: .

Still a no show on my end, looks like Aus Post have lost another one of my packages.
You and I both. Australia Post are like idiot thieves who steal without knowing what the items are for. Not unless someone at their depot is a possible Geekhack member and suddenly decided to collect our key-sets for their own keyboards?
Hey guys is this a pattern?
I just peeked here - I'm also one of those in Australia, I never received the package.
I actually didn't pay much attention to it, and after all that time, I even wasn't sure if I purchased into the GB or not. But I finally got around to logging in and seeing that I did, and it shipped out to me in Sept 2013, and was marked as successfully delivered?
But nothing ever came :(
As it is now almost a year later I just left it.
I don't suppose there is a chance that mine hasn't actually shipped after all??
Pity... the set really looks awesome. I have keycap envy :(

This buy hadn't even started by September 2013. If it's meant to be September 2014 then that's only yesterday or today so I wouldn't have expected it to arrive so quick.

Oh yeah, I've been waiting nearly a year for this group buy so I can wait a while longer. It was just the confusing information that I saw in my support ticket that threw me off. But man it's so close I think I can taste the new keys lol.

the profile is quite nice and brings some classic feel to the keyboard.
however, it does dampen the 'bump' on the mx clears.
thanks BL and CAS. TFR's usb cable is superb.

You're lucky you actually got two key-sets with your order, I paid for 2 sets of each item but only received one of each. Hence I appreciate receiving them but again [CTRL]ALT will have to resend the rest out to me again.
Hence it will cost them. To BunnyLake here, despite getting the order amounts wrong on my list can I at least pay for the shipping, for the rest of my key-sets, to my address?
I know what it's like to run a business hence getting the order amounts wrong can hemorrhage the bottom line of your organization. Please at least let someone foot the bill in shipping because Australia is the MOST expensive place to send anything too ?

raccoon was taken ill about a week ago and was taken to hospital, he got back home last night, and will be able to continue shortly, i dont know all the details but he assures me he is ok and will be on this soon
Look what we've done to him, he's falling apart with all this immense pressure being applied upon him here. Bunny you've got to help him out with the remaining orders because I fear the poor kid could die after what we've done to him with Penumbra :'( .
I have to admit his construction of the USB cable is great, first class effort from him and the colour matches the blue of the darker modifiers perfectly. Tell him he's done brilliantly there :thumb:

ok
i managed to speak to raccoon today, he is getting better from his stay in hospital
and we have set out a full roadmap to completely clear everything
im sorry if not everyone is happy with the order this is happening in, but we have laid stuff out like this to make sure we get things out as best as possible, without making deadlines we cant keep, that being said, this is a forecast, so it may deviate slightly, but me and raccoon spent a long time discussing timelines and make almost worst case scenario projections
so
there are 10 nostalgia orders left to send, these will be going out today september 25th
all raindrop non cable orders will have gone out by october 3rd
most of what is left of calm depths will be out by october 3rd (minus the double orders which i can now sort out as raccoon is home)
so, by october 3rd, a little over a week from now, we will conclude nostalgia, all of calm depths than we can do, and every raindrop non cable order
after this
penumbra cable orders will go out, this will be done by october 10th
so by october 10th we will have penumbra and nostalgia behind us, as well has almost all of calm depths concluded, or potentially all of calm depths if the kits come back in time
after october 10th, all that will be left is raindrop cables and toxic, now, instead of planning these out, we just spoke roughly, the plan is, on october 10th i will hook up with raccoon again, and lay out a plan for these in much the same way we did with everything else listed above
the rough guide is we will have the raindrop cable orders shipped by around the 20th, so that we are then only left with toxic with raccoon, again as a rough guide i would suggest non cable toxic will take a week, then cable toxic will take 10 - 14 days after
thank you to everyone who has shown support and patience over this bottleneck period

May I ask how you will be planning to sell the leftovers? Im a newbie mech keyboard enthusiast who wished to have found your store a few months earlier, and would love to get my hands on this set or any of the sets you've produced since I love them all. Hopefully your mate raccoon gets back to top shape and the whole ctrl alt team can go back to full throttle because all the work you guys have produced are amazing imho.

Bunny, according to your update that Penumbra cable orders are going out on the 10th, does that mean all normal order should be out? I haven't heard anything regarding my order yet. Do you mind taking a look? It was a standard set with white alphas. Thank you.
anything outstanding will be going at the same time
im still on vacation but when i get back ill catch up with raccoon and check we are still on track

SCHWEET :thumb: . I knew the Bunny has been moving mountains to get our caps out as soon as possible. Again, thanks for doing all this extra stuff on our behalf even though you didn't need to.
This is what we're talking about here the way [CTRL]ALT still goes way above anyone else in getting everything for this key-set. We're not worthy, we're not worthy........ :p

Does it look like Penumbra Sets that included custom cables will ship today, or close to today?
any time i have updates ill post them
last time i spoke to raccoon, we laid out that timeline and he promised me he could and would stick to it
i have been trying to contact him for the last few days and havent been able to get hold of him to get an update as to whether this has been done or if he is running behind
as soon as i speak with him, i will update everyone right away
i am as keen as anyone else to get this sorted, there is a ton i wanna do with ctrlalt that we are ready for now cody is shipping with me instead, however i dont feel comfortable moving on until this is all behind us, as i dont think its fair to everyone
i can promise ive offered all the support and alternatives i can to raccoon, and cant wait for the outstanding stuff to go out so we can move on
i really appreciate everyones patience and i really am doing everything i can
as stated above, as soon as i have contact with him, i will update each thread as well as the updates thread in the ctrl alt sub forum
and once i have confirmation these have rolled out, we have 2 very nice things to announce which im itching to do

Bunnylake said he will let the community know that the extra sets are going up on CTRL[ALT] so no fear :thumb: Knowing him he will give people ample notice. But as for the current status it is still shipping from Raccoon. If you check the CTRL[ALT] subforum you can see an update thread that Bunny updates often.

Brilliant, looking forward to seeing mine completed because the first set looks so lonely sitting inside a keyboard it desperately wants it's twin brother to join him in another board. Again thanks for the detailed updates because they keep all of us calm and patient when it comes to receiving any more [CTRL]ALT goodness :thumb: .

Well, it's good to know that I should check that other thread for status, but it doesn't actually answer my question. From your other thread;
Quote
...what we have agreed to is to have a weekly chat, every Sunday night, each Sunday we will go over what he got out that week, and the plan for the next week, and ill update this thread accordingly...
I'd understood the plan was to get all remaining Penumbra packages out the weekend of 10-October, and now it's Halloween week.

and in that thread ive posted all the info i have about the delay and where we are at
i did speak to him briefly last night, but we have agreed to have another chat tonight to sort plans for the coming week as he had a ton of stuff thats going out yesterday and today, and would be better to see wheree we are tonight rather than last night and work from there, so ill be updating again shortly
im doing all i can to assist him and structure getting this stuff sorted

wait two weeks again, 1 year anniversary :p
That's nothing wait till you join the 7bit Round Series Group Buys, those can last more than a year easily :thumb: .
Remember that everyone involved with [CTRL]ALT are doing it for FREE that means no one is being paid to sort, package and ship items out to their local post office, hence a lot more patience is required. Imagine if you got hit with orders for 200+ key-sets that have to ALL be counted, sorted, packed and shipped to every customer around the world. Plus carry on with everyday concerns such as working, education, paying the bills and keeping your significant other from leaving you (due to all the boxes piled up ready for shipping).
I could never do it because I'll go insane and if I happened to have lived in the US, grabbed a local AR-15 and climb a tower for some skeet shooting ;) .

Yeah. With Penumbra, they keys are made. Just need time to sort.

I suppose they would love to produce for 7bit because hey, he has TONS of orders right, compare to these smaller GBs. I am not buying it. But anyway, we should take this discussion over to Honey thread and not in this thread.

Yes. Yes I do. I collected 30k of funds for the buy and dealt with SP invoices so I had a pretty good bead on their status throughout. They needed to make new tooling for many of the legends which took them far longer than anticipated. Then various people there went on vacation for several weeks over the summer without backup, so coordination over the summer took a very long time. Then they had to actually produce well over 100k caps (IIRC was more like 130k), which isn't actually their fault but did take them far longer than most GBs.

we have them, ill be putting up something soon to get those out to people
Bunny, if I still haven't received your notification on my Penumbra keysets, does it mean you are still working on them and pending for shipping?
i know for a fact a bunch of them are going out today
not all, but we are working through this and raindrop in alternate sections each week until it is completed

To build some hype and anticipation for those who still haven't received their sets yet, here are some pics of my version of the set on my KBT Pure. Thank you, Bueller for the trade! They feel amazing, really thick and heavy, high quality caps. The semi-gloss finish feels superb on the spherical keytops. The big font makes them look huge, but I love the effect. I want more SA profile sets now (which is a good thing since I ordered both Nuclear Data Green and PuLSE).

Yup, me too. Considering so many terminal boards with similar keycaps were 60%-like I think it really suits 60% size. Even early PC systems like Commodore64, BBC Micro, Apple II, etc were 60% size with tall spherical caps. Not to mention many electric typewriters. I'd say it works better on 60% than TKL or full size, actually.
Possibly needs a bigger border to really look like most of those old gadgets, though.

sooooooooooo
ill type this up once and post it in all relevent threads, so not everything in this post may be relevant to this thread directly, but will affect each thread
as most of you im sure are aware, this gb has been held up by raccoon having to clear the backlog, when he first committed to this, his schedule, both professionally and personally were very different, between his personal, work and educational ties, raccoon has been struggling to find time to commit to this, but had been doing his best as and when he could
regrettably because of the delays and his lack of time, we have taken the decision to restructure how each outstanding order will be shipped and who by
me and cody are gonna take on the bulk of what is left between us
its always hard when making decisions like this, raccoon committed to do it and plans were made around that, and i know he wanted to see it through to the end, however, it has become increasingly obvious over time that it is both unfair on your guys and overwhelming on him
so what we are gonna do moving forward is this
raccoon has the rest of the non cable raindrop orders packed but not shipped yet, he is gonna ship those shortly, and send myself and cody the end of calm depths and penumbra and a few other fiddly bits, whilst me and cody crank out calm and penumbra, he is gonna do his best to get the end of raindrop out, anything left of raindrop a the time me and cody finish calm and penumbra, will get sent to us, and we will conclude raindrop, whilst this is happening, raccoon will do his best to make a start on toxic, anything left of toxic by the time me and cody conclude raindrop, will be sent to us and we will get it cleared
after a lot of thought, this seems like the fasted and most practical solution to this problem, itll be a financial and time strain at this time of year for me personally, and something i wasnt expecting to take on, but ultimately, im committed to getting this sorted, and there comes a time where we have to draw a line and move on, and this is the best way to do that
i want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has been so patient and understanding so far, and will continue to be as we get the logistics of this new plan sorted, i really appreciate it, and to anyone who is disgruntled and unhappy with the delays, i hope this solution is helpful to you

Thanks for keeping us in the loop. I'm very much looking forward to getting my keys, but I think I speak for at least most of us here when I say that I appreciate all of the hard (and in part unexpected) work you've put into this GB (here, you = Bunny, Raccoon, and everyone else involved), including keeping us informed about these shipping delays. Please do let me/us know how we can contribute to, e.g., shipping costs for the scoops. I hope everything is well with Raccoon, too.

yeah, me and cody have all supplies and everything ready to go
just waiting on the sets from raccoon
i havent been able to contact him for about 10 days (nothing to worry about this has happened several times before, the reason this is happening at all is his busy schedule)
but i have worked out whose whipping what, just waiting for raccoon to confirm shipment of them to me and cody
we plan to turn almost everything around in about 48 hours of getting it

I am guessing that would be the default. He is getting the scoops at the same time as the rest of the sets which he will be shipping out to you guys, so I think that makes sense...

I'm sure this has been said a few times before but please make this set in DSA at some point.
Its such a beautiful design but I'm not into SA
I sometimes wish that there was a contoured DSA profile that came in semi-gloss finish. I like low profiles, but I love contoured SA. This set is still my favourite, although it may be in jeopardy when my Pulse set arrives, despite the fact that I prefer these colours. Full contour feels awesome.

Relax Penumbra still rules over most others, including Pulse hence enjoy the SA abundance because you never know when eveyone swings back to the gawd-awful DCS, that's when it's time to walk away........

I too am curious how they go about this. I definitely don't want to miss out on these yet again.

i can't imagine why they'd go up in classifieds, unless you're talking about people turning around their own sets. the extras should go up in the ctrl alt shop, i would imagine. that being what its there for.
Although IIRC, Bunny did make a classifieds for extra GH extravaganza keys.

Hey bunny I was just wondering if you could give us an approximate date of when the extras will go up on [CTRL]ALT. Sorry for the pestering but I just can't miss this set again. My insurance company won't cover breaking my Poker II on my forehead....again.

Now you know not to miss any more when they arrive here on GH, you have to always be on your toes when one is announced otherwise you'll be those sad bastards begging someone to sell theirs.

So hyped. I hope I am at a computer when they go up! Also bunny, I sent you a pm, but it probably got lost in your busy inbox. Would it be possible to save on shipping if I get a penumbra set by sending it with my toxic alphas?

Awesome! So, you will have two kits with alphas and mods?
The original which is cream alphas + mods and another kit which is solarized alphas + mods? Or is it just solarized alphas + mods and the cream alphas are separate now?
Gonna have to agree with byker, huge hype on this. Really hope I'm ready and waiting to hop in and grab the few sets left right after you guys throw them up! Not sure who is going to get the left over Penumbra's to sell, but if it's Cody, I would love if he could combine them with my Raindrop R2 order. If it's not, or if that causes issues for you guys, then sending separately is also cool :D.
Thanks bun!

I assume mini buy will also be SP SA? Since it's one set are they gonna be the cream or solarized alphas (please say cream!)?

You were just unfortunate in getting this exquisite colour-way BUT now you know don't ever leave Geekhack because you have things to do, BECAUSE you shall miss another BRILLIANT Group Buy and be camping out in the Sale Forum begging people to sell them to you (very difficult and it's embarrassing).
Avoid that desperate situation simply by buying in early and then planning which keyboard to impregnate with your new babies :thumb: .

we should have all penumbra orders ordered through the site sent out this week
about 20% went out this weekend, we just need to put tracking in to the site to give you notifications, the rest of this gb will be shipping between thursday and saturday
once this is done
we will put the scoops and extra sets avail;able on the the ctrl alt store
the scoops will be listed as free, and a postage cost/donation will be optional on these, you will just need to provide an order number in the notes
For those of us waiting on cables and ErgoDox caps, will the scoops be included when those are sent?
I believe you said something about that a long time ago but I may be misremembering.

Also my first time trying the SA caps... and I'm really loving it. Although I'm not sure if that's just because they're much thicker than the standard set that came with my WASD. I'll have to try some heavier cylindrical caps to be sure, I suppose....

Did you speak to Noko yet about getting one made for you?I have not yet purely because I know I want a custom one (or two or three) from her & I don't yet know what to get on it :)) I've resisted the urge (perhaps stupidly) to get in on a couple of massdrop buys because I want something custom, but my indecision is ensuring I'll have an increasingly long wait once I get on the list, so I suppose I should figure it out sooner than later :-X

The demand far exceeds the supply. Really hope you run a Round 2 for this sooner rather than later, Bunny. And while we're at it, maybe a HyperFuse SA w/ a sculpted profile. After using SA keys on my NovaTouch, it's hard to use anything else.
Wouldn't be surprised in seeing a shrewd business man selling his Penumbra's in the classifieds soon 8) .
YES once you try SA then there is no other profile you want to use (except GMK's of course).
You use SA's for style BUT the GMK's are for pure speed across any keyboard.
Just wait for further CTRL/ALT news within the future because they will release something very interesting which will have every Geekhacker cream their pants for ;) .

Put me in for 3 sets of whatever it is; I'll go throw my wallet in the trash.

I noticed that I now have a shipping notification for the Penumbra set, saying that a label has been created. Since I also order the GH60 set, can they be combined and shipped at the same time, saving postage/packing/time?
Assuming the GH60 set is ready to ship, that is.
id imagine that was already combined in your order, cody has been doing a good job on that, we added something in to the backend of the site so if you are on someones order it shows all their outstanding orders as well
Well, I did get my Penumbra order today. Thank you for seeing this GB through to completion!
No GH60, though.
I couldof sworn I put a gh60 set in your order! Sorry! I'll get that out to you asap!
Thanks, guys. No super rush, as the GH60 PCB is still pending delivery, perhaps you can bundle it with the cables and make it just one package.

Put it this way. If it is gmk then it would replace a bunch of SA sets. A lot of people bought this set not knowing if they would like SA. I think we would probably see more SA sets in the classifieds.also missed this one and would like to know if there will be a round2.

I missed out on penumbra since I don't really fancy the profile
But I didn't expect the color combination to be that good
If it's still below $180 I would still surely get it

Is there any ISO user out there who'd be willing to part with their unused 2.25u left shift? I would need it (and a couple other tweaks besides) to make this set work on FC660m, which is only MX keyboard I have. It'd be nice to find the extra key I need before buying the set, either for the spares or the R2.

I just noticed that the topic title says "shipped" not "shipping". That's not really true is it? I know cody is working hard to get toxic sent out, but what about USA no cable penumbra orders?
there are like 6 orders left to ship on this
i cant find the picture but all the bags are split on whats left over, so cody needs to go through each set one by one and go through all the keys and sort them for the last few, and has been putting it off shipping other stuff, hes got out over 100 orders since thursday so plenty moving, and ill get this to become a priority

I was actually thinking more of a nice hoppy IPA or maybe a single malt scotch instead, but that's another story for another thread.

Yeah, it is just 323. I really feel bad for even asking about it. I know you guys have been putting a tremendous effort into getting all the orders sorted and shipped. I am not in any hurry, all the talk of r2 and seeing the "shipped" status just got me a bit worried that someone may have snatched it out of my mailbox.
Thank you guys so much for all you have done and continue to do.

Just curious but why is this set so scarce? What's to to stop someone from contacting SP and requesting a set?Welcome to Geekhack! I'm sure as you spend more time here the Group Buy process will become clearer for you. I too was confused on how to get involved and track these events.
The answer is simple: money.
To do a run of custom keycaps you need to meet a MOQ (minimum order quantity) because the molds and colours have to be set up in a factory. The overhead for doing this for only one set of keys would make it ridiculously expensive. That is why it's called a 'group buy'. The order is placed for the whole group by some kind (crazy) souls and then the orders sorted are redistributed back to individuals. Sometimes there are production delays, shipping delays and personal life stuff that slow these things down. Group buy leaders go though all that to benefit the community and they don't make any money from doing this; so even if you had crazy amounts of money it would be a bit of a lame move to 'just order a set' without consulting them first. (I have no idea what legal ownership the designers of the set have, but I'm sure that Signature Plastics would not want to screw over their previous customers? so maybe it's not even possible)

nothing, you would just need to buy 25 sets and they would be very expensive, and maybe the common courtesy of not ripping off someone elses set, but that doesnt stop most people
however we will be doing another run of this late april
as mentioned before, and itll be my last sp buy

Because it's very expensive. It's around 700 dollars if you want an individual order. It's much cheaper if the community buys it in bulk.
$700 is tempting, are you sure?
They are selling a Dolch set for $90+ / I'm sure a custom double shot set would be well beyond $700, on the other hand buying a self group buy would make sense, you could just order and sell the extras if you have the initial resources
Some time ago, they misunderstood one of my emails and gave a quote, it was $500 for a full blank set
I want a Penumbra too, It's generally possible to buy sets from people after they just receive them, yet I think I'm going to skip this window, too many keysets already

I was desperate for a Penumbra and asked them how much for a single order. Melissa replied and said it was around the 500-700 range I can't remember.

around the 500-700 range I can't remember.
I'd pay $700 for Penumbra... j/k. But knowing R2 might be sculpted I'm desperate for a R1 set.

From what I can tell it looks like it should be possible to do a 1-1-2-3-4-4 profile set like GMK Cherry or DCS row profiles, just with Row 3 Shifts until the Row 4 Shift molds are ready. Anyone else like this idea?
r1 on the top/FKey row makes more sense to me that r3 as some other sets have used. Not sure about r4 for bottomrow mods. Got photos?
n-1-2-3-4-n seems like a good idea to me, but I've never even seen a single SA keycap in person so what do I know?

Any objections to trying for full sculpt like Cherry, OEM, GMK etc sets: 1-1-2-3-4-4?
I know the Shift keys will be Row 3, but all the others will then match. Quote from JD about SP being able to do Row 4 bottom row:
.... If I would have had this information at the time, I would have run Hack'd By Geeks in 1-1-2-3-4-4.

Yep, so true, I've learned the same thing, grab what's available and it pleases your eyes :) I've rgreted so much not joining Ivan's Dolch GB and when the spare sets were made available I grabbed one with my eyes closed, and even with 2 caps missing that set is one of my favorites. So now if something shows up in a GB or Classifieds I grab it if I like it :DI just hope I haven't been waiting this whole time for the original set for something I might like more to come out =/

yeah, it sucks there has been a bit of a wait, and must suck even more if another iteration comes out at about the same time
we are only doing another run because of the huge demand we have and the amount of requests for extras we get
its only gonna be a mini buy, so short buy period and a very first turnaround, so i think its only fair to offer anyone straggling it as an option so the bad situation isnt made worse for them

Is there any ISO user out there who'd be willing to part with their unused 2.25u left shift? I would need it (and a couple other tweaks besides) to make this set work on FC660m, which is only MX keyboard I have. It'd be nice to find the extra key I need before buying the set, either for the spares or the R2.
(I'm assuming the shift keys will be R3 no matter what SA profile R2 uses)
ill be able to sort you out with a spare
Hi BunnyLake, if I wait for R2, will I still be able to get that extra 2.25u Shift key you promised me?

Apologies if this has been asked before, but will the buy include an option for non-standard sized keys, for example keys to fit a Leopold FC660M?
I'm getting a new keyboard for work, but I don't want to buy one this set won't be compatible with.

Well the original buy had everything for Fc660m except the 2nd 2.25u shift and the wonky-stem spacebar. Bunny mentioned that the new buy will include the extra shift, so that just leaves the stem-mod to the spacebar that you'll need to do yourself. Or find someone to do it for you. There are plenty of good guides on how to do it, here and on r/mk

I apologized if I missed an update somewhere but the last update here was end of March and the other thread that was supposed to track status shows up as deleted or inaccessible to me.
Just wanted to see if there was any update since a month ago.

I'm as stoked about the new set as anyone, but I'm wondering: what's the status on the cables from the first buy?

no bother at all sir,as soon as they land ill post here, we of course didnt receive cables for this, raindrop and penumbra, so the guy making them has to order stuff in and make a ahuge amount of cables
whenever i get any updates though i always post them immediately
Post by: Mormur on Sun, 03 May 2015, 16:30:45
Apologies if this has been asked before, but will the buy include an option for non-standard sized keys, for example keys to fit a Leopold FC660M?
I'm getting a new keyboard for work, but I don't want to buy one this set won't be compatible with.
Thanks!
Well the original buy had everything for Fc660m except the 2nd 2.25u shift and the wonky-stem spacebar. Bunny mentioned that the new buy will include the extra shift, so that just leaves the stem-mod to the spacebar that you'll need to do yourself. Or find someone to do it for you. There are plenty of good guides on how to do it, here and on r/mk
Thanks for the info!

Worth it though. :rolleyes:
Post by: zombimuncha on Mon, 04 May 2015, 03:25:29
I'm conflicted.
I've never tried SA "scultped" or all r3, so IDK which I would prefer.
Apparently Bunnlylake prefers sculpted, now that he's tried it on the Hack'd set.
Bunnylake is smart.
So maybe I should wait for Round2, rather than jump on the spares from R1?????????
round 1 isnt all row 3
just 3 rows of it are
but after having hackd in my hands for a bit, its definitely the way to go, well IMO
Ok i guess ill be altruistic and leave the spares for colemak / dvorak users who wouldn't be able to use r2
Post by: slickmamba on Mon, 04 May 2015, 20:28:50
they are about to wrap up, its only a handful
or if any of the few who are waiting would prefer the new set (its gonna be a bigger and better kit) im happy to upgrade them for free
For the handful here, you lucky devils getting in on the ground floor of the Second Coming of Penumbra :o .
Bunny is the ONLY person able to make this happen for you people, if I was one of you lot I would wait for the Second Onslaught of this Key-set because it shall be stupendous.
late reply sorry, I'd love to move to the new one, but I've never tried SA before so I don't know if I'd prefer sculpted or all r3 tbh.
Maybe I will take up that offer since its "bigger and better" xP

Also, is there any official word yet if round 2 will be fully sculpted or not? Hacked by Geeks has arrived in peoples hands by now hasn't it?
Post by: BunnyLake on Thu, 07 May 2015, 16:44:39
So will the sale of the extra sets and/or round 2 of Penumbra have to wait until after the other two current group buys on ctrl.alt are done?

I am sooooo excited for this! Do you have any ETA for when those will start shipping out? Also, do you have an ETA for when extra sets will show up on the ctrl alt store? I'd like to pick up the numpad kit, different alphas, & maybe tsangan kit if there are extras of those

Hey hey Bunny don't mean to be a pain, but had a question. I ordered an ergodox set from Binge w/white alphas - is there any hope of getting scoops? I'd be more than happy to cover shipping (even for a couple of orders). If not that's fine too - just thought I'd check.
Thanks!
submitted the google form just in case

cody will be posting a thread shortly, which offers a good way to contact him, with statuses of queries and things shortly all built in to the site, it should be up tonight
and this will allow him to tie up these little loose ends easier and more efficiently, as itll keep all info in one place, without him getting overwhelmed and missing things
hes taken a couple days off from shipping to get it finished, he should be deploying it tonight and posting about it shortly if deployment goes well

totally understandable, we will make sure everything gets sorted, its just taken some time with the state everything came in, cody in particular struggles with dealing with having so many people message him across different services, and getting overwhelmed and missing or forgetting things
from what ive seen, this new system allows people to submit any query, that query then provides the user with a custom url, to check the status of that query, whether its been responded to for more information, or resolved or being worked on, while providing a back end for cody to keep everything together, sort things out in to groups of priority, and work through them
what it also means is we can both have access to what is being said not only by each of us, but to each of us, so things dont get lost a long the way, and we can keep up better

This set was never all Row 3. Original was 1-2-3-3-3-4, new one will probably be 1-1-2-3-4-4 like all other sculptured profiles (Cherry, OEM, DCS, etc).
For those who've got your scoops, were white ones included?

I'm not trying to start ****, just trying to figure out. Because I purchased the order from another board member I felt it would be taking advantage to take up the offer to upgrade to the newer sets (and I was told my sets were ready to go). I created my new service ticket and was told 18 days ago that they'd go out on Monday (which was 15 days ago). I followed up a week ago and the ticket is still open but I haven't heard back.
I really do appreciate the work from Bunny and Cody around here - I'm just unsure if I've slipped through the cracks.

Love the yellow-tinted scoops, because I chose the only Correct colour version of this Key-set 8) .

Bunny already stated a page or two back that it'll be one big uber-set, with no child deals. Just like Hack'd, but maybe slightly bigger.

Hi Bunny, any updates on the status of the remaining few?
Did you submit a ticket? I just checked mine today and there was an update from Cody from 2 months ago. I dont think the ticket system emails you when it has been updated.

Will those of us waiting get our orders before round 2 launches? I've been trying to be pretty patient while the Hyperfuse stuff is going on, but it appears as if that led straight into Retro.

firstly due to a huge effort by some members, we are making progress on the row 4 shift keys
secondly, we are having some one come in and piece together the last few sets remaining in this
and yeah also im having a baby
i also wanna launch this as one of the first big buys on the new ctrl alt
but the main thing that pushed this back was a combo of sa retro happening as well the progress on the row 4 shift keys

Post by: andCoffee on Sat, 24 October 2015, 17:06:10
Just registering here that I never received my base set (thats all i ordered and paid for), without reading 50 pages is back is there something I have missed? I am in Australia, I also paid for another set on Cntrl ALt store back in April last year and have not received anything. ORDER #0795 was the order number for that one. Maybe its just my luck :(

I can do my best to update you with what I know. From what I understand, all of these keys are in the possession of CodyEatWorld, not Bunny, but the keys are also loose and unsorted because of a previous GB partner who ****ed up a lot of stuff (there's more detail about this in the Raindrop GB thread). Though I have no details, I've read around the boards that Cody had some personal problems this summer, which set him back a bit in catching up with GBs. After that was sorted, he moved on to shipping SA Retro and Hyperfuse. Those seem to be mostly done, and I think Bunny posted last week that someone's been hired to help sort out the the straggling orders that need to be hand sorted. That's the last I've heard. Sorry if I have any of the details wrong, but I figured I'd give it a shot piecing the info together since Bunny has more important things to tend to at the moment.
Hope all is well with Bunny - that's definitely more important than keycaps.

Also, from my understanding, the SA production lineup is already booked through February with Danger Zone, Carbon, and whatever else. Even if it launched tomorrow, it wouldn't be done until March/April.
SA is only getting more and more popular and the wait times are only going to get longer - the sooner it gets into the production queue the better

Yet another SA keycap set being appended to the production line. If nothing is done soon it will very likely be 2017 before anyone receives round 2 Penumbra in their hands.

I think it's pretty safe to say 2017 is the case man. Most likely Ground control, Dasher/Dancer, and Nantucket are all in line well before penumbra V2- and I'm probably missing 1 or 2. Troubled Minds is eta March, so we can assume April or May is more realistic. I'd be really hard to convince penumbra 2 will be here in the coming year

Retroblight, greenscreen and dusk also. Classic space, although that has to deal with custom legends too. Then there's earfbound, rebel and yuri being developed, all with SA being a major option.

about 250 received round 1
about 10 didnt
of those 10, about 5 have opted for a free round 2 set
we have a huge box of mismatched keys to sort in to sets, someone volunteered to take that off codys hands and go round and do it, im not sure what happened with that
r2 got delayed as we were waiting on the fixed shifts and a few other reasons i listed above somewhere and itll be sorted soon
ill make sure everyone gets there set sorted asap
Post by: BunnyLake on Fri, 13 November 2015, 11:21:33
Still missing 2 sets of Round 1 as well. I'm actually not sure what to do at this point. Bunny has replied to messages, but he always says that I need to message Cody. Cody hasn't replied to a message since May, despite telling me in public threads to PM him. I'm beginning to worry that it's just money lost.
ill have it sorted for you, the sets exist, all jumbled up in a box, its a horrible task to do, its far worse than just sorted sets that are put in to individual keys, you are talking about trying to make sets out of a box with maybe 8k keys in or something like that and whilst it is a job that needs doing, its one that takes a lot of time per order, when that time could be spending sorting out 15 + other orders, we have just cleared a ton of recent stuff with only 30% of one buy left to do, thatll be complete soon and our full attention will go to fixing the legacy issues that were passed on to us from raccoon

Still missing mine and raindrop. Close to $400 IIRC.
i know you have had the runaround sir, the raindrop sets are sorted and bagged, just gotta get a grip on this box of penumbra, ill personally make sure it gets ton, and i know it isnt deserved, but we just need a little more time to get on top of things

If I were in Socal, I would gladly help sorting out the remainder sets. I don't think shipping them to SC would be a feasible option sadly.
its really just about allotting some time to it, we had a ton of stuff to clear, and it has just been about prioritising things in such a way that we deal with as many orders as possible per hour
between me and cody, we shipped over 400 packages in the last 3 days, so we should be lighting up the mail thread soon
everything is now clear apart form between 150 - 200 hyperfuse orders, thatll be done and dusted very soon and we will then concentrate on these loose ends

Hey bunny, I'm not angry, or upset or anything, just was really curious to see the state of everything. I know he who shall not be named really complicated things for you guys.

I never knew why some of our penumbra orders were on hold for so long, I had thought it was the cable holding everything up, but this makes more sense. Thanks for the update bunny. Also sending that many packages indeed feels amazing.

Kind of in a predicament though, the longer we wait the more possible sets that could jump ahead and further delay Penumbra r2. Or if the SA hype dies down and SP isn't getting flooded with more sets than it would be nice to wait and start Penumbra r2 GB later on. We also need to take into consideration the previous SA sets that will want a second production as well such as Jukebox, possible Danger Zone, etc. because they will be occupying SP as well.

Yes, there's a pretty decent SA train going right now so Penumbra R2 will just need to jump on at some point and ride it out. While avoiding the list of SA sets, there are a number that are in various stages of successful group buys with several more in the IC phase and trying to figure out when they should go. At some point it just becomes drawing a line in the sand and going for a certain date.

This is still the set that i use for my daily driver. My only regret with the set is that scoops for the Solarized Alphas didn't get made. Otherwise it's been a fantastic set. That being said, I'd jump on a R2 set if it was sculpted just to be able to compare the two properly.

Yeah I'm feeling the SA fatigue too
Would be cool if it were run in both profiles ala Hyperfuse

Am I the only one who's been holding off on SA sets for Penumbra? I guess the high amount of SA sets right now would impact sales from the mass populous, but I'm ready and waiting for a GB, whenever it may be. ^-^
I jumped in on Troubled Minds as I've wanted to try SA sets out and currently have none yet have funds ready to use. If the Dasher/Dancer sets go up, those get priority money from me. At the rate this one is going, I'll have hopefully refiled the beer money funds by the time this set goes live.

I jumped on Carbon and Modern Selectric after waiting for round two of this one... But when this does go live, I'm in!

someone very kindly donated there time to sort the broken sets so the last few will be out soon

Thank you for the response
Post by: BunnyLake on Tue, 26 January 2016, 10:49:46
First of all for the people waiting I'm hugely sorry
It's totally not acceptable
I've commented in this before but having all the bags split and having to go through a huge box of keys is an horrific and time consuming task, and one where such an amount of time, having lots of orders across various buys to fulfill, this time seemed better spent elsewhere, not that that is acceptable, but we were trying to maximise fulfillments
That being said we are on top of it now, and ready to get the last few of these out
Given how old some of these orders are, I would like to confirm addresses with folks, so if you have an outstanding order, please can you pm me, either to say that your order has he correct address and give me the order number, or to give me a change of address
Please do this even if you think you already have, the last thing I want is these sets going to the wrong place
Thank you to everyone for your patience in this matter, and you incredible understanding of the circumstances we were left with on this buy

Awesome news, Bunny. Wasn't on this buy, but glad the final orders are going out and that the next sets will be tackled.
In the event there's leftovers (I doubt it, but hey, you never know), will they be up for sale by any chance?
Dunno about that, but I do know they want to get Round 2 started after this is done.

I hope both sets of alphas will be included.... doesn't sound like that will be the case though. "All in one" set with 1 additional alpha option would be nice.

would be nice, but I don't think so either. I wouldn't mind paying the extra so that it'd include both alphas, but we'll have to wait and see... (if just one, I'm hoping for the yellow alphas, since it matches the whole solarized theme better imo)

I have a special place in my wallet where I keep cash for penumbra and hyperfuse, just in case they ever get finished up and run again. Hopefully we can get a new IC thread when the time comes... [in the meantime, I prefer white alphas, even if yellow is more "solarized"].
I second the white alphas. I've been dreaming about Penumbra ever since I got in this rabbit hole!

Fully sculpted, since we now have Row 4 Shifts (1-1-2-3-4-4)? Or same as Round 1 (1-2-3-3-3-4)?

By ISO I mean not only Enter, but those £ '' and \ caps too.

Here is hoping round two goes fully sculpted (and fully shipped). Maybe it is time for a "round two" pneumbra thread to be started?
God I hope so. I keep having little heart attacks thinking "OH crap! Did I miss the penumbra drop?!" It's like the only set that I want from the SA, even more than jukebox (shocking, I know).

This GB happened right before I got into mechs and I've been drooling over it ever since. I'm planning on building 2 customs and this is what I want on one of them.

+1 for second round with ergodox
I feel like this is one of the premiere Ergodox keysets. It'd be a shame if it didn't get a round 2, but, as I've never run a GB, I don't mean to make light of the logistics that come running a GB with multiple child kits.

Hey guys sorry I've been out of communication for a while
We shipped some more recently, literally a few to go, we are working brought support tickets as fast as possible, done about 400, about 60 left, if you have a set outstanding and haven't put in a support ticket please do so
I'm not around much at the moment, a pipe in the top floor of my house burst when k wasn't in for about 13 hours at the end of last week so it just destroyed everything, all my computers etc and really did a number on the house, so my access and time on the internet is spotty at best right now
Next time I can get on a computer I'll go through all the remaining support tickets, find anything with this buy and have it pushed through
Thanks

Well I guess cybergenx is not a native English speaker as am I and this kind of humor does not translate well and works bad in written form.
Still I see some truth in his comment about the curse, as my luck in the last Months wasn't up to my standard but still it seams I didn't had it as bad as BunnyLake.

yeah i wasn't aware bunny even had a son, so I am not sure how i could make a joke about it, it was aimed at all the issues that this group buy has had but anyway people will take things how they want to on the Internet. Personaly I think for bunny to bring that up to make me look like the bad guy is disgusting... but Im leaving this thread be until the group buy is sorted, its driving me nuts thinking about it.
**** you turning that around
Firstly I don't believe you for a second, but what am I supposed to think, none of the issues with this buy have had anything to do with me, but i publicly posted in this thread about the flood and posted publicly about my current lack of time in the forum because of my son in the Ctrl alt sub, both of those events are recent, so when you start playing mr wise guy talking about my supposed string of bad luck and needing a witch doctor, you tel me what I'm supposed to think
So playing along for one moment, supposing you didn't mean that, in finding out that's how I took your comment, you turn around and call my statement disgusting
It took everything in me to reply to you with the limited restraint I had
That restraint won't be shown again
Im more frustrated than anyone about what's going on, it's not in my hands, but i can assure you insulting me isn't gonna expedite the process for you

Yes, waiting is frustrating, but throwing insults at the people who brought us this amazing keyset isn't productive, especially since there are many of us, myself included, who missed this group buy and would be gladly pay to take your spot in the wait, even if it ends up taking another couple of months.

After exhausting every last avenue of trying to buy this set through the normal channels (here, Reddit, ebay, etc) on the daily, I was eventually asking Signature Plastics to make me a one-off (yes I went that far and that's how much I want the set!) but since it was prohibitively expensive to do so, I inquired about trying to set up a group buy as there are many like myself who want the set.
However, I was told I need to obtain permission from Bunny who is currently on for running round 2 and from messaging with Bunny I was told it would be soon but no definite timeframe. So naturally I can't take any more action. Bunny, I'm still willing to help run the buy or help out with the one you plan to run in any way. Best regards, I hope we can all get this set soon! Cheers

It has nothing to do with the colorway, but that guy asking for the actual Penumbra set (colors, legends, profiles--everything). Since the actual set already is in the works, it can't be done otherwise.

Dude that isn't how it works. I'm guessing you missed the original buy. Tough luck.
Expecting to get special treatment or have a set made just for you is a little ridiculous. If you want to have a set produced, come up with your own idea. Trying to make an already established set like this or Hyperfuse will NOT go over well with the community.
Post by: canigetanipa on Fri, 08 July 2016, 19:32:09
I'm not trying to work against anyone or run my own GB or expect anything special, not sure how that came about in what I related? If so, my bad for the misunderstanding.
I was just trying to reach out to those involved to try to get some info and hopefully move it along as there are many of us who really want a round 2 to happen.

$700 is surprisingly reasonable... if you're well-heeled that is.And that's only for the first one. If someone got SP to make five or ten and fronted the money, the eBay proceeds might get that person his board free after sales proceeds minus fees minus the cost of having them made.

There will be Penumbra SA and GMK sets for sale at some point in the future courtesy of CtrlAlt working with a vendor.
The sets shown are being sorted by nerdly to fulfill the original group buy.

It's got nothing to do with SP but with the designers. The designers decide if they wish to run another round and then talk to SP about timing, manufacturing, etc. The same for GMK.
That said, I am not a fan of Jukebox at all either. :-X

I just imagine you saying, "Look what you did! Do you see that?! You did that! This is why we can't have nice things..." *smacks designer with newspaper*
All kidding aside, there really does seem to be a demand for the set despite our personal preferences. Or maybe people are just desperate to get their hand on an SA set.

It is the only solarized theme with the sidebar and tabs matching the color scheme for ST3 (I know because I searched high and low before I gave up and built it myself). https://github.com/swill/Theme-SolarizedSwill Enjoy...

Just posting a quote from another thread that is relevant
spoke to cody a few days ago, he confirmed everything is checked and packed and quoted and he jsut needed to either arrange to borrow a car or have them collected as its 3 very large packages
i havent spoken to him since but im going to leave a message now, just wanted to keep people up to date as best as i can even when the update is limited
also just to let people know, its my birthday weekend (birthdays on monday) but i have a very busy schedule the next few days so my availability for replies or contact will be fairly limited until tuesday, sorry for any inconvenience this causes but i have tuesday set aside to get completely on top of any pms or support tickets etc

Hyperfuse, Penumbra and other misc sets have been shipped to MomCaps. These sets will not be sorted and shipped until all of the last orders from the Invasion Pt II have been shipped. MomCaps is doing this to help ctrl alt and will do it just as quickly as possible once the Bro Caps stuff is done. A realistic expectation would be January for when those sets will start shipping.

I would say the difference between semi matte and semi gloss is just semantics. Every set I've ever used has been the same, and could fit both of those descriptions. I have not tried the two you named though, so I could be wrong, but doubt SP has two sets of molds for SA.I was under the impression that SA Commando and Amazing Chocolatier have a semi-matte finish?

I would say the difference between semi matte and semi gloss is just semantics. Every set I've ever used has been the same, and could fit both of those descriptions. I have not tried the two you named though, so I could be wrong, but doubt SP has two sets of molds for SA.I was under the impression that SA Commando and Amazing Chocolatier have a semi-matte finish? So there is difference?No solarized alphas, not sure whether I like or dislike the move to keep that an R1 exclusive. Also, KBDIST says R2 is semi-gloss, is that any different than R1?All SA is semi gloss.

Post by: BunnyLake on Thu, 12 January 2017, 17:27:06
how long is this going to stay open? i assume it closed earlier because they sold all their pre-ordered stock.
and if that is the case, are these orders now just going toward a GB that will run sometime later this year (ship 2018)?
it sold out because we only put a percentage of the stock up, to ensure people in all time zones had a chance, the full stock is now up, and wont last long
its not a gb, the order was put in and paid with SP quite a while ago, so when its gone now its gone

Is the profile the same as Nantucket Selectric? Maybe people could mix Nantucket alphas and Penumbra modsI believe not. Selectric is full sculpted 1-1-2-3-4-4 but this Penumbra round is "retro" 1-2-3-3-4-4 which I haven't seen on any other keyset before.

That would definitely explain the estimated ship dates given SP is currently listing SA doubleshot sets as booked through 10/2017. Smart move to get a quick R2 in sooner than later.

Hmm, is this actually round 2 or just leftover of round 1? I missed out again.This is round 2. Originative fronted the money for a set amount of kits, so this is technically a preorder, but still. I didn't have the money this time around (thanks JChan and Rama) so I'm going to sit and wait for the GMK run of this (if it's still happening?)

Geez, that reading through that Reddit post was cancerous. Everyone there is always looking for a way to crucify Bunny. Its a shame, the way that GMK Penumbra announcement went down but I am really looking forward to it.I'm in for both sets, I really don't like the pricing and think it's at least $75 overpriced, with that said I know if I decide to resell it I'll make at least my money back. So I got over it. But I would've much rather these were ran as group buys for a cheaper price with more people getting in on it then jacking the price up and screwing over a bunch of people. Plain and simple it was not handled properly. Do I think it was bunnys fault? Not in the slightest, it was out of his hands he just gave permission to run it, and everyone ****ting on him needs to take a step back. Do I think this was done completely wrong and just shows the greed of ctrl.alt and originative? Yes completely, they've ran group buys before and opted out of doing that because they knew this would make them a ton more money and they didn't care about the people, and if you think all those people that bought penumbra sets this last week for $600+ because a lot of people randomly started selling them weren't completely screwed and were just unlucky you're wrong, there is absolutely no way those sellers didn't know that penumbra R2 was coming, they were given a heads up. What went down was completely wrong, and I get as a business you want to make money, but it was handled completely wrong and I know many people are angry and won't do business with them again. You might've made a ton this time, but you lost a lot of continuing clients. Everyone in the business world knows keeping a continued client is much more important and financially sound then working to get a new one. Anyway end rant, I don't think bunny was to blame, but this was not handled right at all.

I'm sorry, but I really don't understand where people are getting their figures on the supposed cost of SA keysets. You think the same thing could be made and sold for $150? Please go fetch a quote from SP for a set with the same compatibility and number of colors. I understand that it's fun to look at Massdrop and extrapolate, but you're simply incorrect here and have nothing to back up your numbers or the even more ludicrous numbers thrown around in that Reddit thread.
Yes, there is markup on the sets. Is that screwing over a bunch of people? In exchange for that, the entire order was paid for months in advance to move up production and you get to deal with a business with professional fulfillment and support.

This is another simply baseless accusation. I have a bit of inside knowledge here and know for a fact that Bunny & Sherry were not "tipping people off" to sell their sets. Bunny has been publicly stating in his Sophomore JTK GB thread that Penumbra R2 was imminent. If folks saw it and chose to sell their sets right quick, that's fine, but please stop spreading this ****ing nonsense about tipping people off.

Do you mean all the people making alts on Reddit to wail on Originative and [CTRL]ALT? Or the hundreds of customers who now get a set they really wanted months in advance of when they thought they'd ever be able to? I'm pretty sure that first group was going to stick to Dasher & Dancer, and I assure you that the majority of the second group is going to end up happy. Would it have been nice if the set was cheaper and available to everyone and their dog? Maybe, but it can be run again in the future, and I'm sure it will be. You were given a bone, stop trying to take the damn arm along with it.

Smh just another one of you guys trying to bully people making valid points. Many SA sets have sold for below $150 very recently with the same compatibility. And yes they fronted the money and therefore we get the set sooner, but most of the people I've seen/spoke to wanted a group buy for this and had no problem waiting some extra months for the pretty big discount it would've had and the larger availability that would've came from it. Stop using the "oh hey fronted the money so we could have this sooner" thing as an argument when most people did not want that and wanted the group buy. You're treading on dangerous territory here with this, because now more companies will see **** like this and then this is what it will turn to. No more group buys and just companies offering "preorders" and jacked up prices. Keycaps are already overpriced because of the niche market they sell too. This set would've had completely zero problems hitting every moq that would've been set in a group buy , so please stop saying well x and x fronted money to get this sooner when everyone knows the money would've been there no matter what

If you look at the situation with MassDrop currently, it might be a while before the drop could even run. MD has been ineffective in their communication of drop slots since early 2016 or so. Just look at Dasher/Dancer. We had zslane not getting any full confirmation until quite near the December drop time and that was with submission back in... was it March or April? If I'm not mistaken, Pwner is in a similar boat with MD with Rebel and nothing one way or another. That with a proper MD poll as well as the large IC thread here which MD has used in lieu of a MD poll in the past for sets like Troubled Minds.
I'm all in favor of having additional vendors running buys. It does mean higher prices but with MD running things the way they are lately, I think the community needs to start taking a more serious look at alternative companies that can handle this and I fully admit to being a MassDrop proponent. Still, it can't be the only game in town. The PMK system faltered as SP really doesn't seem to quite know how to do submission-based direct sales well. Another vendor is definitely needed.

Which recently run SA sets contain all those keys or similar at $150? Dasher/Dancer would probably be one answer but it got the benefit of the Massdrop discount to reach that price point.

This I agree.. I bought in to Nantucket after the group buy, after the 1st extras stage. I am one of the last guys to get a set and I paid $99 (without shipping) for the TKL which had extra colored space bar and alternate ~ and \, alternate F5-F8 and alternate caps lock
I paid total $150 (without shipping) for base TKL set + amity and cape add on novelties

It's something that bothered me too but definitely not enough to give up my spot. :)) I've been waiting too long to get my hands on one of these sets.

There was some brief mention of possibly adding more sets (wouldn't rely on this) and people have been canceling orders as more keysets come out (would rely on this). Just keep an obsessive eye on it and you may be able to get in anyways. Hope is not lost.

I do find it strange that it wasn't advertised and kept so secretive that there was even an order placed at Signature Plastics months ago, and then suddenly the key set goes on sale at Originative. Very weird as I would have expected there to be a lot of hype when round 2 was going to finally happen.

R2 had always been 1-2-3-3-4-4. They just included a row 2 esc key in the recent update.
Sadly, the purple on cyan Enter shown on the renders is not included in the HyperFuse SA set. :'(
The GMK versions have it. They could have went with 1-1 for the top two rows and ditched the two extra R2 Esc keycaps in favor of the accented Enter. It would have been a real treat, IMO.

Surely it'll be included; why put in the render at all otherwise?

It's just in the "artistic" renders but it isn't shown in the render that shows all included keys.

LOL that's such bull**** if that's the case. Someone run a group buy for the cyan enter keys and maybe the 1.25 coloured keys or something.

Might be interested also if theres any spares. After seeing the GMK version, SA looks better in my opinion.
SA usually looks better in photos, especially for certain colors, but it feels awful. Cherry > SA.

If comparing with OEM\Cherry, of course those two are on my top list. If possible, since I dont have any Sa's, I would like it to be this one =P

Doesn't necessarily feel awful, people just put them on the wrong boards.
SA on a Koala feels awesome. I would imagine it does so as well on the Abel.
Just need a board with a lower angle.

I hated SA on my Novatouch. I love it on my KUL with MX Clears. I think the switch & keyboard case makes a bigger difference with SA, in addition to the angle.

The board I used it on was a case-less b.face with Vintage Blacks. Since I didn't have a case yet at the time, I used some foam underneath but created no angle, so it was as flat as it gets.
The caps had a nice crunchy sound on the vintage blacks, but found them just too high for me.
To me, Cherry height is perfect. I even prefer it over Topre profile, though I prefer Topre switches.

If you somehow can't get that time machine, the R1 Penumbra keysets can sometimes be found on the secondary market (e.g. reddit's mechmarket). The R2 GB has already closed, but you may find people willing to part with it once R2 is shipped out. Though, I think R2 won't be shipping out anytime soon.
If you want, you can also get the GMK version of this set on originative's website.

R2 should be arriving to you this Spring. Originative placed the order to SP before selling the spots.

Is there an update on the shipping date?
for the few old orders, bro caps is currently sorting through a box of loose keys essentially making sets out of them towards the inventory, penumbra was in by far the worst state out of anything but is one of if not the first priority to get clear
for the new orders with originative, i believe there will be an announcement very soon

box to the right at the end are complete and about to go out
Hey, not trying to be a **** about this, but I feel like we've been told multiple times that this order has already been sorted and is ready to ship. You said back on July 25th that they were being sorted "last night" and then posted pictures of them being sorted, then said they were passed off to Cody for shipping, who then passed them off to bro for shipping.
Now you're saying it's still just a box of loose keys?
I get that everyone is very busy and this isn't a profitable endeavor, but how has it been so many years, with so much misinformation, and no one has been able to find time to sort through what you're saying is just 4 real orders and some add-on sets?
I've been trying to be quietly patient, but the idea that it's still just a box of random keys makes this seem pretty hopeless.

Right, those are he pics I was sent, and that was the update I was given
I'm in a different continent
The keys have now gone to bro caps and once again I'm passing on the information of the state he has received the keys in
I will note they weren't all loose in the box, but they were just all bagged up together
I'm not sure what you want me to do, what I'm doing is giving an honest account of how it is told to me, the alternative to that I'm guessing would be to just either not update or give false updates, and I don't see how that is preferable
but point taken, i wont update again until shipping resumes from bro caps, and if it gets to a point where that cant happen in a reasonable timeframe, ill have stuff sent direct to me

Thank you for this update. I'm by nature rater curious and want to know every detail of what happens to my keys but if it gives you to much grieve, I can understand if you don't what to give updates any more.
@andCoffee
Looks like we are in the same boat.
Have you considered that both information could be right? Some of the sets could indeed have been sorted and shipped as the pictures show and the reminder could still be in an unsorted or partially sorted state.
I learned to be careful with conclusions and try to think the logic backwards before posting.
If I remember correctly and the information was right, there were a lot more then 4 real orders and some add-on sets - @BunnyLake please correct me if I'm wrong on this.

I believe there are 12 orders to ship, a mixture of complete orders and some mis packs, I would need to check that info is still up to date though as last I went through it was a while ago, and as it hasn't been shipping I haven't had to touch it in a while, I have a feeling there are a few more that slipped through the net
But everyone will be confirmed and taken care of
I have no problem giving updates but I'm not gonna bang my head against a wall and get spoken to like **** because of it, I'm doing all I can from afar to resolve it and all I can go on is the word of others, and can relay the updates as they are given to me
I was given some story about some box spilling between the hand over from nerdly to Cody but no info as to what sets that affected or to what extent, frankly it doesn't matter, what does matter is what is real right now, and that is the state bro has received them in, which is bagged up but in no real order, my guess would be he has that box in the above pics basically as it was, and then everything else you can see was just shoved in bags
Bro sent me pics of how he received it but I'm on my phone right now and can't locate them
I appreciate the people waiting, I can't wait for it all to be over and I promise there is no part of me trying to delay this in anyway, the sooner it's out the better

I paid years ago for tons of extras, and I don't have ****, so I'm in your boat, although I have had one set, but I purchased extras in all these outstanding gbs which I've never gotten as I wait until the end to see what's left etc and cover replacements and whatnot

I also know that I could have gotten and still could get out of this at any time and sell my orders probably even for profit, with interest and corrected for inflation - wallet hack indeed!
This is why I don't like to complain but still am desperate to know what is going on. I will be a very happy buyer on the day the keys arrive.

Hey man, I just want to stay that I'm really not trying to talk to you like ****. I get that you were given misinformation, but there's no way for us in this thread to know that. It'll be 2 years in May since Cody first told me that my 2 sets were bagged and shipping out "tomorrow", and since then I've been trying to piece together any info I can between this thread, the Raindrop thread, and the Hyperfuse thread.
I understand that you're frustrated with the situation, but it should then be reasonable that those of us still waiting are also frustrated. It was just a bit of a shock when we went from sorted in July, to preparing to ship in November, back to square one with a box of unsorted keys this week.
I understand that this isn't in your hands and you're not happy about having to ship these keys all around still (and FWIW I've offered to re-pay for my shipping if I could get a solid shipping estimate), so I apologize if it sounded like I was personally attacking you. I'm just concerned that after being hopeful of forward progress that it's now back to being unsorted.

They received Honeywell before Penumbra/Hyperfuse has shipped so I guessed it'd be May. Read here (http://www.kbdist.com/updates/).

I'm just curious if there will be (shipping/order) updates on the originativeco SA Penumbra here as well?
Or is it better on just check on http://www.kbdist.com/updates?
This and the Originative buy are seperate, so there won't be any Oco updates here.

Just got an email from Originative today saying that Penumbra has been shipped! Finally
That Penumbra buy is distinct from this one.

Yes I know, however people have been using this thread to talk about the Originative buy, which is why I posted here.

@bunny lake I've sent you a pm about my order.
I'll be in and out of the country the next few weeks, so my responses may be delayed.
at any rate glad youre still around and I hope you are well.

I’m back, bro was just busy as I returned preparing and then having his 4th of July sale. As soon as that is shipped this and the other buys will get wrapped
I’ve got the last of everything now in a spreadsheet for him and I’ll post here as soon as it’s done and dm people their tracking details as I did with the last batch

Hey Bunnylake, how are things looking now?
Great, we got the legacy ctrl alt site back up yesterday which was a bottleneck on my part as I couldn’t keep track of any of the progress or check orders etc
I believe bro is close to wrapping up his shipping from his recent sale so we can get the loose ends wrapped up
Tonight or tomorrow I’ll contact him, get a timeline as to what’s going on and report back here

He’s nearly done shipping, sorry for not reporting back yet I’ve been waiting for my paypal to be fixed, so I could update on when things will actually happen, however I got an email from them yesterday stating I should have it resolved finally within 72 hours
Basically some dude ripped me off on eBay for a couple grand, it’s a long annoying story but I basically haven’t had access to my paypal for the last 4-6 weeks which is relevant to here so I can send bro shipping money, but thankfully I’m finally close to having it back, it’s shocking how reliant you realise you are on a service once it’s taken away
I’ve started writing up action plans and progress for each outstanding buy, and I’m hoping to post those this weekend once I can use my paypal again and can get back to some forward motion
It’s been super frustrating but seems like it’ll fall inline timewise nicely with bros sale shipping, so in actuality shouldn’t really have delayed anything in the long run

Glad they arrived safe, I know it means nothing at this point and I’ve said it before but I’m so sorry for the delay and incredibly grateful for your patience in waiting to get your order, it’s been a long road with some of these older bits and I’m over the moon we are getting it all taken care of

infinity keysets
It's definitely a nice set of keycaps. Solid, smooth, quiet... I use them on a Ducky keyboard for my work PC.
