Not the win8 logo :(
5c per key is about $5 for a base n mods
hmm
Now i need a blue/white kb for this magic to shine`
Not the win8 logo :(
Wow no beating around the bush with "making stuff together" and interest checks. I love it...
Quick question about the modifiers. Will there be only one of each type as indicated in the preview images?
i.e. If I want two tux modifiers, will I need to buy 2x Mod kits?
...Because the deadline is on March 15th there's still heaps of time yet to buy in.
Any chance of a WoB Alpha set? WoB looks YUMMY!Not in this group buy, but I'd be all for someone doing a followup to fill in the blanks. :)
oh wow :) I started a trend... or to quote Automan tv serie...
Pretty nice set but I'm still puzzled,
the timing is kinda awkward imo: payment deadline will be almost the same than Klaxon and DSA retro... not to mention LZ-GH which already blew some wallets
for this exact reason I'm out, not that I can't live with it but it is what it is
Damn... wish there were something like this for topre :(

Or anything other than a few solid colors, you mean, right?
Topre users get no keycap love, other than Clacks. I feel for you guys. That's another reason I never used my Topre boards and ended up selling them.
I'd rather have cheaper prices if we hit higher tiers than more goodies. Is that going to be an option? Tsangans and mod sets can get pretty cheap in the higher quantities, or is that where you've baked in the new legend fees and other expenses instead of spread across all sets?
Even still, one alpha, two mods, two tsangans, and a numpad for $179 before shipping seems kinda pricey. Also no insight into number sold? Not comforting in my opinion on a group buy. Maybe I'm a conspiracy nut but transparency goes a long way.
Basically I'm looking at this like I'm just buying it from techkeys. So many GBs going on lately, I'm just worn out. Frankly I welcome it right now.
Alright non profit is all well and good but if we don't know how many are being ordered how can we crunch the numbers to verify?Basically I'm looking at this like I'm just buying it from techkeys. So many GBs going on lately, I'm just worn out. Frankly I welcome it right now.
In a way yes, but this is being run as a non-profit buy. I do like the philosophy, and think it will be a success.

In the mod packs shouldn't there be two windows keys for a standard bottom row or is this not normal?
John
Hmmmm
This could look good on a white rosewill.
is WFK pure white?

I thought the same thing as jc. Guess I'll be replacing the raindrops with half windows and half linux (and toss the mac) :p
I'm pretty sure double win keys are the norm as all the custom sets I have/had have had 2xWin keys. Hell, klaxon is even going to have them.
I'm pretty sure double win keys are the norm as all the custom sets I have/had have had 2xWin keys. Hell, klaxon is even going to have them.
What I mean is that THIS group buy is not normal, in that I only have one of each OS key. Not that having two windows keys wouldn't be normal. :)
But all together for those 1.25x keys, you have two raindrops, a windows, a linux, and a mac. If you want two of any of the OS keys, I'm sure it won't be too hard to do some trading with others. (I sure as hell don't want a windows key anywhere near my keyboard!)
So tempted to buy it but I don't have a keyboard to put it on :(
Is there any option for blanks?
The more I look at this set, the more tempted I am to buy one.
Quick question: are there any GeekHack keys in any of these sets?

No, not in the sets. If there's money left over I may be able to add some extra surprises to orders. (likely by adding keys to the alpha and mod packs) But highly speculative and this won't be determined until the chips are counted and order has a final quote at the end.
The order form lists a different number of keys for the different colored mod sets. I hope that's just a typo ;DThanks for pointing that out! Fixed.
Hrmm.. Not sure if I want to cancel my order for that Toxic one and go for this.. ???
Both look good but I can only pick one; guess I'll make my mind up close to the deadline..
Wish the blue was "BO" I'm worried its going to be too baby blue to match to any anodized aluminum. But whatever, still going too order a set! :rolleyes:
would be in for one but the price of the mods is just crazy in my opinion
would be in for one but the price of the mods is just crazy in my opinion
Keep in mind that this mod set contains ~15 more keys than the standard SP mod set, including a space bar and some extra 1.25x keys (which cost more). Not saying that should change your mind of course, but just FYI on *one* of the reasons it may be more than you expected.
More to come later, but here's the first sneak peek at some 3D renderings I'm having done of the set! :)
(Attachment Link)
Of course, color and font may not be exact, but pretty close to what's intended!
Me also, not trying to thread crap but is there no ESC key or somewhat typical Geek Hack key for thst spot? I hate to say this becsuse I mentioned no second Windows key and perceived it to not be taken well. This is not about colors, it just seems that you should be able to remove all the caps from a standard board and replace them with a direct equivslent.
I will definately be in but will have to buy an ISO set, maybe, to get blanks for the ESC. Now that I think about it, the profile is probably wrong. Sorry, not an ISO guy.
Just some thoughts,
John
I'd really like to see a GH cap or specialty ESC added on as well.

Am I looking at the mockups wrong? Looks like an Esc key there at the bottom of the mods set. And with the umbrella, lightning cloud, and raindrop, you have 4 Esc keys, right?
Aggie are you redoing any of the symbol-only mod keys or are they going to be identical to the Valentine set?

I wish it was a real base set because now if I want to have white F1-F4+F9-F12, tilde, and | \ with blue mods then I have to order both mod sets. Maybe it was designed this way to force more mod sales? Doesn't seem necessary with a nice set like this though.

this his making me feel the pain of being broke!
what 3d software did you use?
If you are considering adding extras (e.g. the Geek Hack key), I'd suggest you consider some of the following:
- WoB 'G' and 'H' keycaps
- WoB "traditional" mods
- BoW 'F5' through 'F8' keycaps
- Solid BLUE 1.25 R4 modifier (no Windows, no Penguin, etc.)
- Solid BLUE 1x R4 keys for people with odd keyboards
- Solid BLUE 1x R1 keys for people with odd keyboards
- Solid BLUE 1.5x R1 keys for people with Race keyboards
If you are not considering adding extras, then please consider the above not even suggested!

I never liked the look of the alternating keys and such.What about everyone else? Now everyone has to buy a $42 set of keys when we only need 10 of them if we don't want white modifiers. Maybe add a kit of F1-F4, F9-F12, "~`", and "\|". It would already be cheap since those keys are included in the white modifier set and would not get their own tier.

If you added "1!" through "=+" in WoB that would be a really cool option and people could do a blue accent stripe in conjunction with some of the WoB modifier set keys. Also the alpha set seems a bit expensive, base sets for Klaxon that include 8-10+ more keys were $23. Unless you are not over the 150 count yet, but If it happens then more discounts are always a good thing.
Yea the raindrop is growing on my for the mod, but I'm definitely going to use the Esc key instead of the umbrella :)

I had these concepts done by the AMAZINGLY talented kaporkle (http://geekhack.org/index.php?action=profile;u=20953). If you run a group buy in the future, get in touch with him. He has *very* reasonable prices and is a nice guy all around. (FYI, I'm paying for these out of my own pocket... they will not be taken from the Group Buy proceeds.)

New renders up on the original post! :) Thanks to kaporkle (http://geekhack.org/index.php?action=profile;u=20953), who is still working on more. He's a bad arse.

The whole deal with this buy is to go old school -- these are the sets, this is the price, in our out, done and done. No fuss, as quick and simple as possible.

Looking at the renders I've decided I do need a second mod (white) set.
Do I just use the order form and order 1 mod set, aggiejy will you be able to combine my order with previous one?
Well, I'm glad you brought this up. I could have sworn I added a shipping option early on (in my testing) for "Pickup" which would allow you to pick free shipping to add items. But I guess I didn't... at least via the PayPal settings if you offer a cheaper method, it defaults to it 100% of the time on checkout. This would be super confusing. I'm working on a fix on the HTML side of things. So webs0r, if you'd like to hold on a bit, I'll ping you when it's done. Or I can manually bill you, but I'd prefer to have it all in PayPal the same way if possible. :)
All the group buys are getting better, it's a good time to be a Geekhacker! :) Hopefully we have the support to do more and more as a community, thus more options. Not all of them have to be hugely big to be successful. Especially exciting is all of the keyboard building projects going on. GH60, Phantom, ErgoDox, Korean kits, etc. That's pretty awesome if you think about it. :)
According to this thread (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=40520.msg806665#msg806665), the prices aren't changing. They are what they are.

so it's 45 for both blue and white or just one of either?
Damn this site, it just won't let me leave! With this, CCnG round 2 and Toxic, I might end up buying more keycaps than boards all over again. Plus I've been having dreams about the KMAC 2 I sold away..
Here's some red anodized aluminum like you might find on a Vortex or Korean custom:Drafting up what this may look with your boards aggiejy? :P
(Attachment Link)
I think the real thing will look better with red and blue than this even... the blue is a bit off probably. But still, I'm a fan of red and blue together. More aluminum renders coming soon! :)
there is two stepped caps lock keys, on i the modifiers kit and one in Tsangan. Are both left stemmed or is one center stemmed stepped?

Yes, the mods have a center stemmed, the Tsangan has an off center.
can anyone confirm is these will work on
Ducky DK9087 Shine II TKL Blue LED Backlit ?
A little question here,
do you have optional spacebar to order ?
Let say 6.25x / 7x and stems option.

I ordered a blue mod kit....but I wish I could order a white space bar seperately without buying another kit. Plz? :-[
Renders look fantastic -- they really help these groupbuys. Any way we could get this rendered with the tenkeys? Not everyone is a TKL fan!
Just ordered -- my first GB! Here's hoping this is the beginning of a beeyoooootiful friendship :-*
Might be about to jump on my first group buy, but can someone just absolutely confirm for me?
For a UK layout TKL Filco or QFR do I just need alphas, mods and ISO? Thanks!

Haha, sorry! I blew my funny money already on those. I tried not to ask him to do anything that would require more modeling.
I forget who does these amazing renders, but if she/he is looking to make a bit of keyboard money from doing them for people (which is awesome and totally legit), then I wouldn't be surprised if he came up with a full-size model, a 1.5x model, etc.
Maybe add a kit of F1-F4, F9-F12, "~`", and "\|". It would already be cheap since those keys are included in the white modifier set and would not get their own tier.
i'd consider "normal" color scheme to be the flat color all white or all blue.Maybe add a kit of F1-F4, F9-F12, "~`", and "\|". It would already be cheap since those keys are included in the white modifier set and would not get their own tier.
I really like that idea! I'd like it even more if you add a white space bar to that extra set :)
I would totally join that group buy if you offer this extra set.
There are so many awesome group buys right now (CCnG, Klaxon, Toxic) that I simply can't afford to buy two modifier sets just to get those 10 keys I want. I hope you reconsider and add an extra set for all the people that like the "normal" color scheme :)

dunno why people consider alternate colors to be "normal"
just after I dropped £100 on the Klaxon group buy, you show me these sexy kits, fml :<
Just a quick update:
The Mod sets will now include the standard-ish "GEEK HACK" key. The key will be the same color as the mods you buy.
Glad to do it, though I think the majority of orders have been from South Korea. :)
10 days to go. I need to put a reminder on my phone so I don't forget to order...
I just got a $2k tax refund ;D I just want to give myself plenty of time to decide.
Easy. 2 of everything! LOL.
If you're international you kind of have to buy two of everything... the postage prices seem insane just for one set. But then when you buy two of everything.. the total price becomes insane. It's a lose lose!!

I know, I feel bad it's so much. Though, keep in mind that it's $17 instead of $20-something of a small flat rate box or $40-something for a medium flat rate box. So depending on how much you're shipping, it's a great deal. :)
BTW, I know this probably won't happen, but just thought I would put this out there: center-stemmed caps lock. Maybe if you get a crazy amount more orders than expected, you can put some thought towards that.
That *is* center stemmed. (Off-center is in tsangan kit) So you'll have two center stemmed caps... stepped and not stepped. :)
Already included! If you take a look at the mods set, you'll notice a stepped caps lock on the bottom row. That *is* center stemmed. (Off-center is in tsangan kit) So you'll have two center stemmed caps... stepped and not stepped. :)
Unfortunately, it doesn't look like it. Numbers aren't great (at a slight loss currently when all is said and done) but I'm hoping things pick up now that we have a week to go.
If it helps you make your decision Toxic will not start collection for a month or two while we figure out Cherry legends. I'm also delaying because with Klaxon, Retro, CCnG round two, and RainDrop if I started collection any time soon I think I would have a ridiculous amount of cancellations. That doesn't even take into account any of the stuff selling from Originative, or about to go on sale there (KMAC2, Beige, Ollivetti, Dolch, geekhack SkiData, RGBs, springs, stickers, etc), or techkeys.us stuff like GirlDC caps and their normal goods, or LZ-GH and LZMXSE. Wallet hack indeed 2013 has turned out to be.Unfortunately, it doesn't look like it. Numbers aren't great (at a slight loss currently when all is said and done) but I'm hoping things pick up now that we have a week to go.
Yeah, I think there will be at least a couple of last minute buyers.
I am struggling with myself as well ... if there weren't so many awesome options (klaxon, toxic, CCnG) out there, this group buy would be a no-brainer for me. But since I also want all of the above I have to spend my money wisely ;)
Im sure this question was asked throughout the thread but the mod set includes only 1 winkey? as in, i will have to use at least 1 raindrop key? >_<

What's the last day to order?
Will these keys fit alongside Leopold Fc700R profile? - i.e. no taller or shorter.
no,FC200R use OEM ,and the FC700R use Cherry profileWill these keys fit alongside Leopold Fc700R profile? - i.e. no taller or shorter.
No. Raindrop is SP profile, which is pretty close to Cherry profile. FC700R uses a different, taller profile that we call "OEM". Leo and Filco use OEM, and Ducky is pretty close also.
Ordered and paid, thanks. We don't need to manually fill in delivery details? Will you be automatically using our Paypal delivery addresses?

Such a pity that the alpha set only contains the alphabets and modifiers include all F keys and space bar. I love the feel of Blue & White but I don't feel like spending so much $$ just to get the combination like classical CCnG.
So I really can't get this set, but I have an almost GeekHack cap collection going (as some of you may know). So I'm just wondering if anyone ordering mods can sell/donate me the GeekHack cap? Or maybe I could work something out with you aggejy?
If anyone can help, I would be most gracious, cheers.
Hey everyone, I won't have time to update the countdown clock or send an email until later today, but:
Deadline will be extended until 8am CST Monday morning.
I'm on vacation with the wife and kids for spring break and won't be back until this weekend. So this doesn't affect the timeline as far as ordering to SP, but hopefully gives a few people extra time as I've had a few requests.
Thanks!
Damn... wish there were something like this for topre :(
Just a question for clarification:
Are there no legends on the ISO Enter Keys?

They'll be as shown. I suppose I could add a return symbol to the top of the return key, but other than that they are the same. Sadly, I only have like 6 ISO sets ordered so far, so they're going to be sold at a loss.
just a little curious why the blue space bar. looks a little weird to me

so finally submitted one just in time
Well, first run though the numbers and it looks like if I sort myself, it will break even. We'll see!Well that's good. Also, could you put your website code up somewhere so that i can take a gander at it for if I run a GB in the future?
Hmm, at risk of sounding completely unaware, if it is in production, won't these keys be ready within a few weeks?
Hmm, at risk of sounding completely unaware, if it is in production, won't these keys be ready within a few weeks?
Well, in the case of the plastics company that this (and most) group buy uses, they seem to have a perpetual 5-8 week lead time. I imagine the actual production doesn't take very long, but they do a lot of stuff.

aggiejy, we don't want you losing $$$ on this GB. If you need more sets ordered, let me know and I can order more like we talked about long ago on IRC
I am in late and would actually like to order a set.

Shoot! Looks like I just missed this. Didn't get enough money together on time.
Do you need anymore sets ordered?
Thanks for the update email and the link back to the post that describes the change. Very professional. Very excited to see the pics and receive the keys.Update email? Now you've got me worried my order hasn't been picked up! :) I got the newsletter ones, which always looked awesome, but nothing confirming an order other than the PayPal receipt.

Depending on what happens with my ducky, I may be selling mine as well. I'll contact you in a couple days if I have a definite answer.
i meant either someone who doesn't want their order, or i'll get it from techkeys
Someone sell me the GH cap from each of the mod sets >.> Or I suppose I could just sell off my collection....

I'll very likely have mine up once I get them.

If anyone is looking to pass on their Blue Text on White modifiers, please let me know! :D

aggiejy, I am actually just looking for the GEEK HACK keycaps for my collection. I was just putting the entire order out there in case I would have to buy full sets :).
So if you are reading this and you can part with the GEEK HACK keycaps to a collector like me then let me know :).

Sure, remind me when they come out and perhaps I'll give you mine. I seem to have most of the GH keys, but don't collect them religiously or anything.
Not yet. It's only been a bit over 2 weeks so far, and she estimated 5. But I'll post as soon as I hear anything at all. :)

Calling DIBS!!!!!
I have lost keeping track of what I have been ordering in this keycap buying stupor.
Here it is at least for my own cognition.
1 Alpha Set
1 Blue Modifier Set
ordered on march 18th.
down goes 74$ more to the ever expanding keycap sinkhole.
Hi i'm new to forum and came across this thread. The key caps are beautiful!!you'll need to either see someone sell you their set, or wait for techkeys.us carry them
Is there no other way i'm able to get my hands on 2 sets of those anymore now?

The Group Buy ordering process is over and they are now currently in production. Once the keycaps are made, they will be sent to aggiejy, who will sort and ship them to those that placed an order.
For those that missed out on the opportunity to purchase these key caps will either find someone selling theirs in the Classifieds section, or you can buy them from vendors such as TechKeys (http://techkeys.us).
As of right now though, no body has them yet. ;D
Hope that helps!

Considering how many people want them and didn't order, going to assume they are going to sell out just as quick as the Brobots and GirlDC did :P
Should probably sign up for the newsletter haha :D
My prediction is that techkeys will sell out FAST, depending on what he sells them for. Lots of late interest in my PMS. Signup up for their newsletter if you really want to get in on it.

Signature Plastics says they're still on track to ship to me this week. :) I'll do my best to block out some time when they come to get them sorted and shipped as fast as possible. All shipping supplies are ready to go.

Today is officially the 5th week since the order was placed with SP and they quoted a 5-week turnaround.
just wondering is this your 1st GB with us?

normally GB's usually have some sort of setback/error from SP lol.
So i wouldn't get all giddy yet =)
FYI, they were shipped out yesterday. I should receive four boxes next Wednesday. I'll attempt to cancel work on Thursday and have a lonely keycap sorting party.

Btw. I love you for including meta keys other than windows.
The blue from Sherry's set and the blue of the RainDrop set looks very similar, if not the same?
Can you please post a picture of the ISO set if you find the time later :)
Thanks!

Couple potato pics of the white mods. (Skew is bad, sorry!) Note to collectors of GEEK HACK keys... only 69 of those blue on white keys were made. Better cozy up to one of the few who got white mods. ;-)

Deal! What color mod(s) do you have? I'm looking to trade for both a white and blue one.
If anyone who missed out on this GB wants in, I'm selling my white alphas + blue mods at GB price: $74 shipped in the US. or an extra $10 to Aggie if you need it shipped internationally.
ok in that case......
anyone want to trade a white windows 8 winkey for the linux or mac 'command' key?

Thanks! And to all you future group buy organizers... I had that legend made (to this size, 7bit did a huge one before too). PLEASE consider adding it to your group buys. In fact, I'll even give you the $45 to make a different sized legend if you want. It's just nice to have something other than a windows key every now and then.

In the interest of transparency, the following expenses are included in the prices:
- PayPal: 3.9%
Fulfillment: 3% (paid to TechKeys.us (http://techkeys.us), who I picked to pack/ship)Sorting: $0.05 per key (paid to Signature Plastics)- It turns out that sorting from SP would be $800+, which we don't have. So I'll be sorting myself. JOY! :) Since I'm sorting, I'll ship too.

FYI, sorting is moving along. I'm well over halfway done. Once done, then I still need to pack orders and ship off. My goal is to get that done by the end of the week.
You're playing beer pong at a time like this!? People need caps... :p
Yay, sorting is complete! Now on to packing and shipping these out. I am hoping to drop them all off at the post office on Friday. If I'm unable to finish by then, it will be early next week at the latest.(http://i.imgur.com/UNHJYV1.gif)(http://i.imgur.com/b14qTzs.gif)

Mine have arrived, now i've just got to pay for them u_u £19.42($29.37).Tell me about it! Note through the door on Saturday saying they won't deliver the parcel until I pay taxes - £23.68!!! Next group buy hopefully I can convince the sender to put it down as a gift because that adds like 30% to the cost of the set, and sets aren't exactly cheap to start with.

i think its a shame when we keep doing multiple rounds of stuff, there is something special about things being a 1 off, continually recycling the same idea makes it lose all its charm
continually recycling the same idea makes it lose all its charm

That is true, but doing everything only once would just lead to insane prices in the classifieds. There shouldn't be an elitist group of people who own certain sets because they were lucky enough to be around / have enough funds when they happened.
I think the best approach is to redo the most popular sets with little changes: Keep the color scheme (for which most people buy a set) but change the special keys. Like in this case replace the raindrop with a wave or something :)

I don't get why you guys won't grant everybody the chance to enjoy a beautiful set?
The idea of having something others aren't allowed to have is so childish in my opinion. Shouldn't we share as a community?
If you wanna have something rare buy a 100$ clack but leave the sets to us poor users :D

i think by constantly rerunning gbs, it doesnt encourage people to order while they have the chance, which is the lifeblood of any groupbuy, the goal is to hit as high of a number as you can
Sorry, I didn't mean to come off rude. English is not my first language...i think by constantly rerunning gbs, it doesnt encourage people to order while they have the chance, which is the lifeblood of any groupbuy, the goal is to hit as high of a number as you can
That is a good point though. But it has to be stated in the OP. This "one time only" thing actually made me buy a set in the Commando 23 GB.
Simply stop buying (what you think are) overpriced items in the classified, don't feed (who you think are) the greedy people
Will there ever be a round 2 of this GB? Please let there be one...

nobody is denying you anything, i was offering my opinion, the same way you are so keen to offer yours, im sorry i disagree with you, and i am not about making elitist groups, i dont wanna cap gbs at a certain number, but i think by constantly rerunning gbs, it doesnt encourage people to order while they have the chance, which is the lifeblood of any groupbuy, the goal is to hit as high of a number as you can, the trouble with it becoming common place to continually rerun gbs is that when a gb comes up, its easy to think i wont take the risk this time, ill see how it comes out and jump on the next run

Need a blue cable sir ;)
I don't mind re-runs either, but as I stated previously, I'm not going to do another group buy. So if someone wants this set made, step up and get prepared to lose money and time! ;-)
That said, some Chinese company wanted permission to use my logos and such to do a reprint. I told them no (since it wouldn't be a group buy here) but that of course doesn't preclude them from doing the set with other legends. I don't know if that progressed, but the point is that perhaps you'll see copies start showing up on ebay or taobao eventually.
WONDER IF THERE IS ANY WAY TO GET A SET OF THE RAINDROP 104 KIT ?
Those are some really nice legends. What other keysets have the large/skinny font?
really hope there's a round 2 for this awesome set
this was gonna be a secret a bit longer,
but i spoke to aggy, and i am doing round 2 with cherry legends after penumbra

its all ready to go, but im a bit cluttered right now after taking on penumbra
as soon as that is ordered, round 2 of this is my next buy
cherry legends, and original novelty keys, we will be doing the classic blue mods and white alphas, but instead of offering white mods this time, we are gonna offer blue alphas, so you can have an all blue set instead of all white

how so?
Alphas + Mods are $75 with round 2
Alphas + Mods were $77 in this GB.
The Deluxe set comes with extra keys and a display case too, hence the $13 dollar extra in cost

I'm not comparing it with the previous buys, but with keycaps in general. $70+ is a tag that I haven't seen on most anything besides GMK and thick IMSTO PBT.

pretty much is the cost of a full set of custom keys.
Unless you're spoiled by Massdrop's cheap prices.
IMSTO, Feng, and Qtan sell like basic sets at $50+, special sets are $90+

You don't need to insult me. I just find that it's a lot for a set, when non-custom sets which are still quite good can be found for better prices. I completely understand that the custom puts o premium on the keys, that's not an issue that you need to discuss with me considering that I mentioned it already.
