they have arrived! with fixed kerning!






INCLUDE WHAT SHIPPING YOU WANT IN THE PM, DONT JUST COPY AND PASTE STANDARD/PRIORTY OR YOU WILL GET PRIORITY. SAME GOES WITH NOT PUTTING ANYTHING. LEARN TO READ DAMN IT.


Well, our fearless leader gave me the go ahead to start these up again. It has been awhile since we had a monthly Geekhack DS, and I know a lot of us have been wanting one!

So, to kick it off we're going to go with red on white. Something simple, yet classy.

The exact colors we will be using are WA for white and RA for red, as seen here:
(http://i43.tinypic.com/kb2c1h.jpg) (stole the picture from hashbaz, hope he doesnt mind)

Prices are as follow:

25 keys $4.38 / each
50 keys $2.43 / each
75 keys $1.76 / each
100 keys $1.44 / each
250 keys $0.71 / each
500 keys $0.51/ each
750 keys $0.45 / each  
1000 keys $0.41 / each <~~~ we are here

SHIPPING

There will be two shipping options, standard (first class) or priority. Prices are as follow

Standard shipping: $4 to US/Canada, $8 international
Priority shipping: $7 to US, $13 Canada, $18 international

Standard/first class will not bring any tracking numbers.
Priority will have tracking, but only inside the US. There is no tracking for either first class or priority for international.


If you live in the Los Angeles area, I am willing to meet up with you.

I apologize for the high prices, but USPS recently increased their prices and a little bit of change is going towards shipping supplies.

Also, I am NOT responsible for any lost or damage packages due to the wonderful post service every country has. I will double check keycaps are in perfect condition before I send them out.

ORDERING:

To order, I need you to post how many keycaps you want and what country you are in. After that, I need you to PM me with your order + shipping info.

ORDERS THAT ARE NOT PM'D WILL NOT BE COUNTED. Also, don't come in here and say "I'll get some when we hit so and so number" that helps NOBODY. Put in your order, or not.

The PM should look like:

1x Geekhack DS
First Class/Priority

Mickey Mouse
123 Suicide Lane
Disneyland, CA 12345
USA
email@email.com


PAYMENT:

When the ordering phase is over (March 9th) I will start bothering you to pay up! All payments will be made with paypal. Gift is preferred (actually recommended, i dont want to deal with paypal like our buddy Colin did) if not, use this bad boy http://ppcalc.com/ to calculate the fee.

and I believe that is it.

also, in case you missed it.


DO NOT COME IN HERE AND SAY I WILL ORDER UNTIL WE HIT A CERTAIN AMOUNT. That helps nobody but your post count. If you wish to order until we hit 50, then post until we hit 50. I will try my hardest to update the count twice a day.

if this slows down by next week, im going to end it soon. 100 to 250 is a huge gap.


It's not going to slow down any time soon. It's only been a couple hours and we're nearly at 100 already. The gap for 100-250 is large, but so are the savings. The larger the savings, it'll trickle to even larger orders when new people want to join or the people that already ordered will increase their old orders. So I'd say wait a little longer for this GB to get more exposure.

In fact, I'd say you even ask Melissa for the 500 and 1000 price brackets just in case this snowballs to a huge single-cap GB.

At the same time, we're going to be doing these regularly.  $1.44 per key is already dirt cheap.  Maybe it makes sense to cut it off before we max out demand.

Well, if the pricing structure is what I think it is, then getting 50ct at the 1000price would only be $30. $30-50 a month is my usual keyboard budget.

one question.

would you guys be against me picking up a couple extra to sell after the group buy closes? after i recuperate what i invested, everything else will go into the geekhack paypal donation. if not, that's totally cool. figured since we're getting them so cheap it would be nice to give back to iMav for letting us start these up again

Dude, you're not allowed to get extras, or else the keycap police will go after you.

Seriously though, it's your GB, and you're asking everyone else how many you're allowed to get?

Would you be willing to take add a part to this buy where we can make a donation of $.10 for every keycap we buy to go towards the same purpose? Sort of like a choice that each person makes?

I have a quick question.
Why do people buy so many keycaps of the same kind? Do they just resell them to other people?
It makes me feel weird buying only one.

There's a pretty good chance that we'll hit the 250 mark, so each key will be pretty cheap. I just buy more to justify the shipping costs.

Seriously, shipping is like $5 usually and that never seems worth it just to buy one key. When they're 75cents to $1.50 a key doesn't hurt to have a couple extra. Even if you don't resell them for profit they're always nice to trade around with. Never know what you might need them for.

Mainly to make shipping not seem so overpriced haha. Especially internationally, it makes me feel I should at least buy $10 worth of keycaps. And when they cost <$1 each, that's a lot of the same keycaps! Would be nice if the buy had a few other keycaps that I could grab at the same time though ;)

I don't know about you, but I have at least 6 keyboards with cherry keyswitches. This seems about average for a GH'er.

I'm going to wait on this. I know I want at least ONE, but I need to look at my bank account, and remind myself that I don't need 100.

Also, Why DS? Can't we have a PBT keycap sometime? I need something else to put on my CMstorm other than \KL blue, portal, and Nyan.

Edit: I count ~335

See, I don't look at it as hoarding. I walk into buys like this with a budget, a value that I want to spend for the product. This buy I set myself in the range of $50 because, well, its for a key style I really like and its a key I want pretty bad. What I do at this point is try and get the most for my money. SP has odd pricing structures and with the simplicity of this key I can get, at this current time, about 50ct for $50. But why stop there? Odds are I will walk away from this buy ordering 85 keys (75 for me and 10 for my paypal proxy) because the price is likely to fall to $.50 or so. Now, what I do then is not sell the keys because, well, first off I can't and second off I want them for my collection. I will probably use them in trades or bonuses for gifts and such. Now, if the price isn't $.50, then I will get less and if Demik lets me make a donation per key then so be it, I buy less but pay the same.

I guess that makes sense. I don't know, I personally feel that if I were to buy let's say even just 10 to stock up on, I'd have 1 on my board and 9 sitting around being "wasted". But I agree on making sure I get the most out of what I pay for, and justifying shipping costs. I don't know maybe I'll change up the order a bit before the order is sent in.

At the next price of $.51 at the next price's ct of 500 it costs $255. Any extras you can sell on your own for pure profit.

WRONG! Based on the way that price breaks work you can theoretically hit them before you achieve the official count. Having enough keys at the active price to equal the required keys at the next break means you have, in fact, achieved the necessary amount of keys for the next break because it becomes cheaper at that point to buy more keys.

Just busted out my Calcematater. If the current break is $.51 (Demik hasn't officially told us because he secretly wants to do less work) and the next break (at 750) is $.46 then the "Magic Number" as I call it is a 680.

I was going purely by SP's pricing structures, as bad as they are. Oh and you did say the magic number was 680, so technically I'm still half right... answering his question, at 650, the price is still the same as at 500!

I agree, to an extent.  I feel like these should be limited runs since we're planning to do them so frequently.  Also counting and packaging this many keys across this many orders is totally insane.  It should feel like a flavor of the month kind of thing IMO.

I like cheap but if there needs to be a limit next time then so be it. However, I would say top end it around 10 because I still like these for trading and putting on boards that I sell/gift.

also, how is shipping in Australia? 6 of you are from around there, would it be cheaper if somebody was a proxy and you guys shared shipping?

also, German GHers have been PMd.

Yes but then only 33.3 people can get them! I still think we should set this up to work like a magazine subscription and take orders for the whole year and then every month a new one comes



I would like to mention that i love this idea.

It would save time on having to collect orders and re compile a list every time.

Its like a cheese of the month club.

I was going to suggest becoming a proxy for this, but it really requires everyone to go along with it to make the shipping maybe $1 less (but it seems like it wont even be cheaper). Assuming I go with priority shipping for $18, the current shipping price between us is 6*8 = $48. Take away my cost to ship leaves $30. $30 to ship to 5 other people puts it at $6 per person. $1 for the cheapest padded envelope and sadly (unless I checked it wrong before), it'll be about $5 to post that padded envelope via standard postage.

This also assumes $1AUD = 1USD, but at the moment the Aussie dollar is a tad stronger.

It seems to be only beneficial for everyone if I could get that many keys posted via first class from the US, and/or if the actually postage costs in Australia were a lot less (I may have put in the wrong numbers in the auspost website).

I'm happy to have my own standard shipping to australia as its already been paid for. Shipping within australia is so **** its not worth shipping it all here then shipping it again. Shipping from Victoria to West Australia costs a lot as it is.

But if you want to ship me the lot and PM me the address for the other 5 i could do that, not sure how you wanted to work out postage refunds to the other buyers though as I'm guessing they also have paid for shipping?

Its cute that you guys think the lacking PM information is bad. I had 800 pm's by the end of my failed buy and all of those were people ordering more, combining orders, or asking for keycaps that I hadn't ever heard of. The problem with shipping is simple: charge one price; that is what I did.

It is actually way easier than I care to admit.

I took my 32" tv and made it my main monitor, had my excel spreadsheet (Which automatically tallied prices by count and created a mini-invoice that broke it all down) and then I would spend about an hour a day cycling through the PM's in order to keep up to date. Most of the other work was just in promoting the buy and keeping in contact with Melissa and that was easily done via my phone while at school.

on a serious note, if you don't want to have to sort through a million pms, automate the process. if people who aren't super cranky want help doing this, it would probably take me about an hour and i'd be happy to do it (and not in perl either, goddamn)

7bit tried that with r4. It's "easy" to automate, but everyone complains about it being too complicated.

the right want to do it is to write a simple webapp that hooks into a sqlite db somewhere. the problem with 7bit's thinger is that a) it seems a bit ugly and inflexible (obviously i'm inferring here, but from conversations with him it seems pretty difficult for him to reinterpret results and b) the input is free-form, there's no front-end UI.

I think the SP font looks really good for this key, and has become iconic IMO.  Not sure if any of their others would look better.

We could always do a custom legend in any font we want of course.  I'd really like to do a Cherry font GH modifier key at some point, whether connected with the monthly GH key series or not.

About combining the postage with Hazeluff's group buy and your own, Hazeluff mentioned that he could probably fit about 40 keys nicely in the standard shipping envelope. What do you think about that demik since you're doing it (I think, but I'm not actually sure). I plan to order enough keys from both sets to fill up a standard padded envelope, but would hate for it just not to fit or something :P

EDIT: Just saw your reply in the other group buy. Let's assume hypothetically I'm still going with a padded envelope :P

P.S.

Why does she have to fix anything if she is given a SVG?

i have no idea. i guess she doesn't need an SVG since it's just their regular font?

all i know is we aren't being charged for it.

I was planning on keeping a more-or-less full cherry set for myself, and making up a bunch to give out to GH'ers, or sell for $parts. The plan was to do a small PCB, and connect it to some-sort of plate somehow. That's neither here-nor-there for this GB, and I probably won't feel sufficiently motivated until the summer.

dont know, sent melissa an email asking. will post it tomorrow

enjoy it, next run will be capped. either over all or per person.

trololololol.

I say per person; capping as an overall just makes the prices naturally high. At ~10 per person it allows for good pricing and still keeps things reasonable. I do, however, want to have the option for a direct-donate to GH on the next one.

i might just charge what iMav charged and be done with it. every extra goes straight to GH/iMav. this gb basically ruined all chances of selling extras to people that missed out and using the profits to go to the site since it'll be flooded with GH keycaps now.

Hardly. What you can look at is the fact that there has never been a resell for less than $2.50. Anything bought from this buy costs $.41 or less and reselling these for even $1 or $1.50 creates a profit that can go towards iMav.

If the decision to go with a solid pricing structure is made then I would say price them at $1. That is the price at which promotion can be made and people will buy more than one, and up to ten, but profits can be made at nearly all levels. As bad as it is that people will have 15-20 extras that they intend to sell straight after it is always good to have a good number sold so that the prices of the keys are not absurd. In my opinion, any buy that does not sell 500keys is being ripped off by SP's structure and any buy that reaches a price tier over 500ct is very successful.

I dunno if I like the idea of flooding keycaps I think $2.50 per cap was pretty good with iMav as it generate constant people since $1 you might not always get the same amount of people and I dunno about people that order like 100 of them but that's just me.

$2-$2.50 I think is good, definitely promotes the cap to be more unique, lowers the amount being produced while still bringing in donations to geekhack instead of this mass flooding of plastics

$1 doesn't really do much as it's still quite low you can still buy 100 of them if you want

The discussion was originally to have it be 10max, at $1. The way I look at a price like $2.50 is that generating enough people (100 is about the best number you can hope for in terms of having the necessary amount of people to achieve price breaks) becomes difficult. It is far easier to justify a $1 cap than a $2.50 cap for most people. The rarity solution, then, comes from the cap on orders rather than the price pushing people away.

Post by: tsangan on Wed, 29 February 2012, 00:47:07
People here can justify $15-$100 for a cap, I don't think $2.50 would drive anyone away, what it will do is drive people to not order a boatload of them.

Side note, you wasted you 1337 post on that :fish:
Title: (SHIPPING)Late February/March Geekhack Doubleshot GB
Post by: RColinTaylor on Wed, 29 February 2012, 00:50:40
Oh, I thought of something else as well relating to this. If say the price is $1 and the cap maximum is 10 then each person's ceiling price is $10 for caps. If 100 people order 10 keycaps then the overall will be 1000 (easily achievable under such circumstances). With the price breaks where they are the cost for 1000 keycaps is about $410 ($.41x1000) but the price charged to the group will be $1000, per the standard rate. This leaves $590 to go towards the operation of geekhack.

This option leaves a few things which I prefer over the $2.50 method:


Of course there are other ways but under the format of $1 capped at 10 I think things can be run the way we all want them without changing from the newer group buys too much where prices are stupid low.

Edit: I would never consider this type of post to be a waste of my 1337 post. I was anticipating doing something in regards to the Novelty buy for my 1337 post but I feel that something like this falls well under the category of what my posts have gone towards; my niche is in the group buys.

1000 caps is far too many is what I'm getting at. It becomes something so common that you will not get the same kind of interest. There's a fine line between making something limited and sought after and something that will cause people to lose interest. If this was a one time thing sure, but you're looking to do this once a month, there will more so many GH caps that people won't know what to do with it.

At $2.50 a cap you won't get as much orders definitely but at the same time it's not expensive, and the donation to GH could be less also but it will create a want for these keycaps instead of just mass producing plastics that people won't want.

What I want to see out of this project is something that's limited and sought after and people want to collect instead of having 1000 of these floating around with people having tons to spare

They have multiple versions of these that are included in sets also but also stand alone ones like this.

While on paper, yes, 1000 keycaps is a large amount for something being done once a month but that is both a ceiling amount at 100 people (there are a lot of people in this buy right now who even with the price at $.41 have limited themselves to under 5) the thing that should be examined is where these caps are going. A lot of people on this forums, and especially those who would be interested in representing it through these types of keys, have multiple keyboards on which to put them.

I also look at these caps a bit differently than everyone else because while some people may intend on selling them later on I do not because, well, I can't. The best that I can do with keycaps these days is buy them or trade them but there is no way for me to have money coming in (even money going out is a ***** to handle because I have to proxy). Having ~10 of each kind, and in turn about, if not under, ~5, to trade later on for other keycaps is a cool thing.

Finally, the rarity of these keycaps is protected whether or not we limit the production. If you look at the SC2 buy, which ended about three months ago, the resell on those keycaps is nearly naught in the forums because people frankly do not want to sell them. Having limited colors like these GH keys means that when people get their hands on them, whether they cost $.41 or $2.50, a majority of people will want to hold on to them.

There are obviously dissenting opinions on this process but from my point of view having a lower price but modest maximum is a strong way to go.

The thing with this is, at what point does it go from "I want this because I like it" to "I want this because it's cheap" which IMO ruins the feel of these keycaps and (to me) what they stand for.

I think that this group buy, and in a lot of ways the Novelty Buy, are indicative of the line between "like" and "cheap". Once the special levels of price cuts were reached, about $.70 or so, the number of orders and order increases skyrocketed. In the past 24 hours there have been page after page of people increasing their order simply because the price was put in the title and people were shown that "Hey, look here, this is cheap". Before we started flashing price cuts and boasting progress the orders were in the 500 range and that is a good number to consider when the forums has 3500+ active members and 400+ on at any one time.

Post by: tsangan on Wed, 29 February 2012, 01:11:55
At $2.50/cap I don't think you need to cap it and if you want to do all those things you listed you definitely are free to stock up on them still.

SC2 buy is different in the sense it was well the last of its kind for now, while this we're looking to do it every month, sure it's in an another colour but its the same thing over and over and over again.

I honestly don't think $2.50 vs $1 is a huge difference but I do feel $1 is too low

People now are buying it because it's cheap and not because they want it, at least that's how it feels like it to me

The amount of active members does not correlate to the amount of buyers, even if the price was at $2.50 people that want this keycap will still buy it instead of oh, its cheap why not.

As a note of curiosity, about 60 people of the 98 who have ordered in this buy have ordered under 10 keycaps.
Title: (SHIPPING)Late February/March Geekhack Doubleshot GB
Post by: mkawa on Wed, 29 February 2012, 01:17:57
looking at the data from the buy over the last week, it seems like people want to spend about 4$ and have a need/want of about 2 caps. ie, initial orders were 1-2 caps/person, and now with prices at rock bottom they're ordering around 10 caps/ea.

what i would do then is each month plan to buy 500 caps of that month's design and resell for 2$ each. sell each design until it runs out. then, each month the proceeds of the first 150 caps sold go toward purchasing the next month's inventory. all further proceeds to go imav for site maintenance and other cool stuff that helps the community eg prototyping money for new keyboard designs (RISE FROM YOUR GRAVE DOX)

ps, fulfilled by amazon.

I would like to make a post clarifying the increase in my, and other orders. For us international members, shipping is always the largest part of the price we are actually paying. My original order was 5 caps, which I increased to 10, then 20 caps. Yes, this was done because the caps got "cheaper". But, there is no way I am paying 10+$ to ship 5 caps valued at 2,50$...that just wouldn't make sense. This way I have extras to sprinkle around, hand out with keyboards, etc. Do I need 20 caps? Nope.

 If this end up a limited run after all I will be glad to reduce my order to 5 caps to give others a chance to get one.

1000 keycaps is gonna be quite a hassle to sort through.

The price per keycap is very cheap, and yes, I did increase my order after the prices dropped. What people do when they get their keycaps is up to them... but I'm looking to use them as part of trades for the newer members who were not able to get in on this group buy.

For the next group buy, I think we should limit the individual orders or make the pricing stop at a certain point and then any discounts after that will go towards GH donation. For example, at 250 keycaps the price is .71 and if we hit 500 keycaps(.51), then we can donate .21 per key to GH. I think it seems fair and the lack of discount at that level isn't too significant.

This.  When I was new I lusted after a GH keycap, and when KeyboardLover gave me one it made me extremely happy.  I support returning to the old pricing structure and donating proceeds to GH, or even mkawa's idea of buying a fixed number and selling them after the fact (rather than buying in beforehand), with each round funded with the proceeds from the previous.

It's probably too much hassle at this point, but there's no reason you couldn't set a cap now. I'd actually be interested to see how many people stick with the order if they were limited to fewer caps. Just so long that everyone who wanted a few could get them.

It's always a viewing party in my Classifieds thread. More than anybody else posts around here. Also, due to frequent kidnapping attempts I have desensitized myself to chloroform.

I have a hammer.

I have a titanium pen.

But I'm kinda antisocial.

Plus if a RipsterHater is there he'll take it from me and stick it in my eyeball or some orifice.

I have a set of four titanium cups for those frequent social occasions.

If you buy 10 then the price is cut by 43%. It helps make the shipping hurt less.

This.  When I was new I lusted after a GH keycap, and when KeyboardLover gave me one it made me extremely happy.  I support returning to the old pricing structure and donating proceeds to GH, or even mkawa's idea of buying a fixed number and selling them after the fact (rather than buying in beforehand), with each round funded with the proceeds from the previous.
btw, i would be happy to help with the latter. i think it would be cool, and a great way of building the community.

I'm sure SP loves the orders. Prices should be a bit higher to compensate those running the GB. I know everyone's time is in limited supply these days.

Personally, I know several other friends/colleagues who like mechanical keyboards who might enjoy a cap or two. I don't plan on selling these caps, trading maybe, giving away perhaps.. But these caps are mostly mine.

LoTR is okay imo. Some people think it's a masterpiece while others think it sucks. I'm in the middle. It wasn't the best but good enough for me to watch the whole series.

Including the new legend fee, how much am I paying? I don't remember seeing an invoice recently.

Thanks!

Edit: I have the extended LOTR movie at home, which is almost 12 hours (IIRC). Well worth it, especially since I've read the books. True, they do bog down a little in places (He spends more time talking about legolas picking up arrows than the actual battles sometimes) but they're good.

Also, what was the longest film? Wast is that 8 hour sleep one or I think there was one showing 24 hours of the empire state bldg in realtime, but it's less boring, as you can see airplanes fly by and stuff. Then there's the famous "Origami box destroy" one on youtube, which is like 14 days: Something like 260 hours.

Watch half of each per sitting. It's more like reading the novels which are split into 6 'books'. That's how I watched it last time; I want to try cutting the movies up sometime and putting them in book order like the Star Wars re-edits that are floating around on the net.

Okay, no worries, I just don't want to miss out by mistake.

About LOTR, I like to watch them all in a row, but then again that's sort of what I do. I did the same thing with firefly: Just spent a weekend watching it all. Still, Splitting the extended versions up into 6 "books" is an excellent idea, as LOTR is 6 books contained in 3 volumes.

Now that they're making the hobbit: When the Silmarillion documentary come out? I have a good idea who can do the soundtrack (or at least trailer music).

Thanks HEAPS demik. Awesome group buy. I'm sorry i can't help with the sorting... that's going to suck later! Paid.

My sorting advice is to dump a huge pile out onto a smooth surface and count by twos.  I used my ridiculously large mouse pad.  It goes pretty quick, especially when there's only one type of key.

Post by: demik on Mon, 05 March 2012, 00:33:52
yeah, one key isn't that bad. plus a good chunk of orders are low numbers so its not bad.

the bad part is writing addresses. but i have a month to do that (chances are ill do it same day keycaps come in since i love to leave stuff till the last second -.-)

I wrote addresses out by hand for my RGBY group buy, and I'll never do that again.  For the extras sale I bought a 100-pack of Avery labels for < $10.  There's a web app at avery.com with pre-built templates for all their products.  It's not fantastic software, but for pasting in addresses it worked fine.  Prints directly from the web browser.  The hardest part was figuring out which way to load the label sheets into the printer.

How about a matching key for the Exocet key set? If we could make it actually in Exocet that'd be awesome but I'm guessing it's not doable to squeeze onto a single keycap. Or just GH?

if you ordered from both group buys and it was grouped (which all were) then everything has been sent. priority and non priority.

if you only ordered from THIS group buy. i still need to sending those out. this group buy had a crap load more orders so it'll take maybe a day or two longer.

Never let tradition stand in the way of a better design. ;) What I don't like about "Geek Hack" on a key is that it feels like its beating you over the head with the brand name instead of just letting the mystique draw you in and seduce you with   brand recognition. Look at the OTD guys, theirs is just a symbol. Same for KBT. It's cool to have something that you need to be "in the know" to recognize and understand. :thumb:

In the top left corner of the screen, under the "geekhack" title bar, click the "Wiki" dropdown, then click "All About Keys".  You will find your answer there, along with answers to many questions you will likely have in the near future :)

There's a wiki explaining it.

But just for you. Doubleshot is a way of creating the legends (letters/symbols) on top of the keyboard. It's done by removing the letter from the keycap and then injecting a different color to form the legend. These unlike most stock keycaps (e.g filco keycaps) is that the legends will never wear out.

Sprue marks on these are very minimal and aren't noticeable. Some nice keys. I'm surprised everybody rags on the thickness of these but don't say a thing about the KBC PBT caps. They seem to be about the same thickness (or thin, lol). Thickness doesn't matter to me though, just an observation. There is virtually no practical difference aside from look IMO.
