Due to a mixup and out of respect I decided not to do the Cherry DyeSub GroupBuy at this time. It might be done in the future using a different font.

Sorry to all that were looking forward to these, but the VIM keys are still up ^_^

Thanks

When do you think this GB will end? I am fairly new to GH GB, so if someone could help me out that would be great.

Post by: yearn4 on Mon, 30 July 2012, 20:18:37
@limmy, it depends on how much interest the gb gets

in this case, i strongly think this gb will be a success in terms of interest so it should end in about a month and then the 3 month processing time so you should get these keys in october-november

I will assume the Vim Key is double shot. How about the RGB set? Are they thick pbt (like imsto ones). or just normal ones? And are they of cherry profile, I mean the cherry height and cherry style sharp edges (comparing with OEM's round edges)?

The vim key is 2-shot and the RGBs are dyesub.  Both can only be SP's standard profile which doesn't quite match Cherry profile.

I just did an anecdotal test.
Thick caps may sound 'lower' because they don't vibrate as much as thinner caps, but to my ears it just sounds like fewer frequencies, not just lower frequencies. In fact, removing some of the noise makes the sound HIGHER to me. Cherry DS > SP DS > Cherry lasered PBT in order from 'highest' to 'lowest'.

Of course this also changes when you change keyboards.

Your are right, MagicMeatball.  And also it's partly because the cherry double shot caps are thick ones. I am really addict to cherry original key caps and can't stop loving the cherry style :-D

A normal vim key, yay. :3

I dunno. I can definitely hear a difference between standard SP keycaps and imsto thick caps.

Different materials, completely different molds. The difference between KBC and SP PBT is similarly “huge”, by the way, without any real differences in thickness.

I don’t give a damn about key thickness, and I’ve got original Cherry dye subs.

i guess the winkeyless version won't fully fit on a Corsair K60 or K90:

the left alt is slightly shorter than ctrl. oh well. at least i'll get a set for some other boards and a VIM key!! thanks for the group buy.

You need to get a winkey and a winkeyless set to mix and match both of those sets, the Corsair K60 or K90 has a 1.25x alt but a 1.5x ctrl along with a 1x win

I would just use the shift key. It looks fancier on my keyboard, and caps lock makes me feel so dirty.

I think I need a bath.

Hey~ stop copying my idea lol 
hashbaz, boost, u guys really had to do this, huh? With the same exact fonts?
I already told you guys that I would distribute some in GH.
I put in 3 months of planning and pondering time, and this is just a simple do-it-over group buy (with the exception of an ESC key and an ISO left shift)?

Never mind, GLWGB.

Due to a mixup and out of respect I decided not to do the Cherry DyeSub GroupBuy at this time. It might be done in the future using a different font.

Sorry to all that were looking forward to these, but the VIM keys are still up ^_^

This is understandable.  I wouldn't want to run any group buy for the same keycaps that someone else is doing either.  IMO, boost did the right thing here.  Not to mention that soulfree914 said he would distribute some of those keycaps here.

GB from soulfree914 was over as far I recall. The orders are closed and no additional order is possible.

Why is it bad to remake what is already a replica? I don't understand. Please understand I am new to this GB and I don't understand how it works. More background information please?

Post by: jdcarpe on Wed, 01 August 2012, 10:53:24
Is there not one person in the entire membership of this forum who can coordinate us getting in on group buys from KBDMania/OTD? Taeyoung usually places a large order in the group buys here, so that the Koreans can get in on our group buys. Can that not work both ways? I'm sick of getting the leftovers.

Sorry, boost, it's your GB to run as you see fit. It just p1sses me the fsck off when we can't get the cool shiz they are offering on those forums.

I just wonder if the leftover from GB in KBTmania/OTD would be enough for GH/DT's demand (about 150-200 sets of each type), I worry that just some of us have chance to grab them and then re-sell them at a much much higher cost.

This is exactly what happens.

BTW, Limmy is the one that posted the link to this GB on KBDMania so that anyone there who missed the GB could get in on this one: http://www.kbdmania.net/xe/4877368

Why apologize? This was a different GB on a different forum with different members. Yes, the idea behind it was the same, but boost was making something available to us that wasn't available before. Why settle for limited amounts of a set with fewer keys, when we could easily do our own?
Title: Re: [Orders Open] VIM Keys

Could you explain how it is stepping on soulfree's toes? The orders in his GB are closed and he is no longer taking any orders.

My common sense tells me it is okay to do another GB. I believe many are confused as well.
Title: Re: [Orders Open] VIM Keys
Post by: MMB on Wed, 01 August 2012, 11:50:25
Because a group buy is happening in Korea, you cancel this? It's not like anyone here can easily go and place an order there. It's pretty ridiculous that you can't run both. Did KBD come to GH and invite us to the buy? No. So why not run out own? Makes zero sense.

I don't know tbh.  My common sense says it's okay too.  But clearly there was a miscommunication somewhere.

I understand this perspective, but I think boost did the prudent thing in suspending the buy.  Let's wait for soulfree to explain himself a little more before passing judgment.
