Wow, that's A LOT of Spacebar kits. I wonder if it's due to XDA keycaps often being put in split/ortho/weird-layout keyboards.

dr_derivative · « **Reply #102 on:** Mon, 06 August 2018, 05:16:18 »

We're waiting on final numbers from everyone now, I'll post them when I get them. From the numbers I do have we sold an imperial ton of kits yesterday though

I would guess it is because the 7u spacebar was only in that kit.

AH ****

How can I add this kit to my order? Contact mykeyboard.eu?

Edit: Never mind. Luckily I bought it because of the 3u keys...

Will there be any extras available? Should have bought the compatibility + spacebars kit when I made my order

Waterrmelonn · « **Reply #108 on:** Sat, 11 August 2018, 20:59:41 »

I'm also wondering if there'll be any extras because I missed out. Hopefully there'll be katakana, mods, and Compatibility kits available.

Yes, I think all vendors will be buying some extras to sell after the GB

Sorry about the radio silence since the GB closed, I'll post the final numbers soon.

Also, people keep PMing me here with questions and stuff, and geekhack's PM system kinda sucks. So if you prefer you can also contact me at dr_derivative#3618 on Discord.

Here are the final sales from the GB:

Base Alphas	397
Katakana Alphas	146
Base Text Mods	240
Base Icon Mods	186
Accents	237
Numpad	133
Compatibility	197
Spacebars	161
Homing	46
40%	59
Ortholinear	131
Ergodox	31
UK	15
International	14
Novelties	204
Blanks	69
Total	2266

In addition to this the vendors will be buying some extras to sell after the GB, so we're at >2.5k sets including extras.

I'm really happy with how well this GB has gone; I had never thought we'd sell this many kits, especially considering we were running alongside DSA Milkshake (which also sold >2k kits). A week before the end we'd just hit 1k, but the numbers crept up very quickly after that. We sold nearly 500 kits on the last day alone.

Thank you to everyone who joined the GB and made this set possible

And do you have the final prices (with the price drops) for everyone (only the sheet in USD was displayed on dixiemech)

nguyenhimself · « **Reply #118 on:** Wed, 22 August 2018, 10:09:23 »

Considering how an OG Japanese AEK set tends to go for $150 these days, I actually thought more people would pick the Katakana Alphas ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Meh, no big deal. MOQ =

Huge congrats, man. Great numbers for your first GB. While waiting for November to arrive, I bought a placeholder XDA set for my weird board, and its stellar dye-sub quality allows me to be very optimistic for XDA Oblique.

They bought extras for all the kits that sold reasonably well, so getting a spacebar kit shouldn't be a problem.

@dr_derivative could we get an update on the status?

I emailed Dixie inquiring about price drop refunds and was told they would be processed after the invoice has been paid. I don't know if it's a normal thing for the invoice not being paid after almost a month of the buy period ending, but just a quick update on the situation would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Hello everyone - noob here,

This is one of my favorite sets I've ever seen, especially since I'm a mac user. I'm purchasing my first mechanical keyboard soon and I'm bummed I missed this. Does anyone know if there will be any shops selling these after the group buy? I'm in the US. Hope this goes smoothly for everyone.

Yeah, I've been waiting for a set like this for most of my MK journey! I haven't seen any names mentioned, but it's been said in this thread that some vendors have bought up stock so you should see some pop up not long after the sets start shipping. Keep an ear out at the end of the year, I'd say.

If you're in the US, dixiemech.com is where a limited number of sets will be available. These won't show up in their shop though until after they've shipped everything out to the group buy participants though. I'd recommend signing up for their mailing list to keep up to date.
