No probs, just get everything sorted before a Tsunami of Orders start flooding in 8) .
No need for those who have ordered (all three of you), as I have your data currently. Enjoy!
Are all the arrow keys the same profile?
I can't say no. Any estimate on how long you want to take orders for?

You know, I didn't even think about that, or specify to SP. I'm curious what they planned on doing without any guidance.
Also, I'm waiting for updated pricing for a Row2 ESC key to be included in the mods set, for 60% people
What the hell... I've only spent about $950 on keyboards this month so far. Submitted an order for one of everything, except ISO.

Not good enough, you need to order 3 of everything :thumb: .
Cant resist temptation .
In for alpha and mods
LOL. We need a fourth set of Caps/Ctrl pair, stepped with center stem.

Pls.
Alphas almost to 25 already. ErgoDox almost to 10.
Yay!
BTW I just received my first SA caps, in the form of four 2u white SA for my ErgoDox, and now I need this set more than ever, these are great!!!!
I'm in. Here's to smooth GB.
Quick update:
28 Alphas
26 mods
12 Numpad
16 Tsangan
7 ErgoDox
1 ISO
10 Gamer packs
Although personally I prefer low profile caps (ie. DSA profile), I think this would be a nice addition to my keycaps collection. If eventually the price end up in the acceptable range, I am in.
This set probably wouldn't fit a Poker II, or would it?

The commando GB just added a row 2 profiled escape key for 60% boards. Is that something we could do if there was enough interest?

Ohhhhhhh, that's what all that escape business was about? I was so confused during that whole conversation :blank:
I've always just used a tilde key in the corner instead of an esc.

Once again, since it's the weekend, we have to wait until monday to hear back from Melissa, but as I've said earlier in this thread, I am currently waiting to hear back. It will be added to the Modifier set, and shouldn't affect the price more than a dollar or so.
Sorry I missed the earlier post. Thanks Calm!
I'm honestly surprised ergodox set broke 10 :D Maybe it can actually hit 25!

This plus the Ducky G2 Pro up on Massdrop could make an interesting combination.

Doesn't the g2 pro have the bad cherry stabilizers?
Ill go in for an ergodox set as well. Do I open another order with just the ergodox set or is there a way for me to cancel my previous order and then make a new one?
Cant seems to fill out my address and stuff, the bar is too small.

I added an ergodox kit to your order, no need to worry.Cant seems to fill out my address and stuff, the bar is too small.
Just put your country for now, and I'll send you a PM when I collect payment.
I didn't know I needed to add additional line, since I'm not overly familiar with Google docs
i ordered an ergodox kit... even if i didn't have ergodox (for now). :-X

I can go ahead and put you down for one, MOZ. We're at 46 right now, we'll definitely be hitting the 50 tier.
any chance for geekhack key being included? or other novelty design?
this might add to the desirability of the set and bring more people in.
I'm in for a set of alphas and mods for my yet-to-be-ordered Poker II! (If we hit the 50 person breakpoint for the mods, but that should be no problem)
Bloo wasn't my favorite color scheme but I just can't let the opportunity pass ;D
Now if there will be an escape key for 60% boards that would be really nice, but I think I could also somehow live without it.
I hope that an SA profile looks nice on such a small board :)

Yeah, I made my decision. Getting a custom legend done was more than I was looking to do for my first GB. If I'm missing out on some people joining up, well, oh well. Maybe if there's enough of a call I'll do a round 2 and do some fun stuff. It's just too late in the game now to go modifying 42 orders, and getting a quote for a custom legend.
Wish you had these with nordic layout :(
There's a few differences. This is what a standard Nordic Layout keyboard looks like:Wish you had these with nordic layout :(

Technically, we could get everyone who is buying an ErgoDox kit to double their order for it. Then they'd be getting 2 and be paying about $10 more.
Why are the base and mod sets at different tiers?
Don't they go hand in hand? (this might be a newb question.)

Nope, someone might want the alpha but not the mods, eg ErgoDox users. Or just any one and mix and match with some other set.

6u spacebar is the primary problem, from what I see otherwise alpha+mod+tsangan+iso has you covered.
In for Ergo, Gamer and Alphas.
Also posted links on Massdrop discussions for last Ergo buy and current DCS PBT cap drop, let's hope we can get to 25 on Ergodox.
Are there any blank 1.25 modifiers for the non-windows users? :rolleyes:
What rows does the ErgoDox set use (particularly for the thumb clusters)? Is everything just row 3?
In :)
Can we see the numbers against each kit?
Instead of saying, "we are here" could you post order counts please? So that we know whether a set is at 51/75 or 74/75.
Please :)
I will order a few ergodox set if it can't reach to 25.
You can't.
Hmmm having all R3 would kinda defeat the purpose of getting an SA set though, still having all deep dish is tempting.
Hmmm having all R3 would kinda defeat the purpose of getting an SA set though, still having all deep dish is tempting.
All of the alphas are already R3 in this GB! You'd only be losing the sculpting on the number row.
(I actually think a fully-R3 set would be kind of neat, like a better DSA).
In answer to the coming profile questions, we are doing this GB in the same profile summary as the Commando GB.
They had a good solution to the problems inherent with using SA profile caps, and we're taking their lead on it.
So, if I might borrow from their thread, here's a breakdown of how key profiles will look.

I do not own these images, and I thank from the bottom of my heart who ever thought to make them.
Ok, to be more exact I'm in for base, mods, and gamer.
Please, more ISO love!
I'll put in an order for a set. Also if you need help sorting when they come in let me know.
I don't know it is needed, but I can proxy for you in SA.

I might need your help mailing some of them out to this side of the world. If I send it through military channels, it would cost just as much as mailing from the US, and take twice as long.
Accounting for the 3 ErgoDox kits I plan to purchase for the auction sets, we're at 22!
Please, more ISO love!
Right? Who knew this would actually happen?
We're at 24 Ergo.
Who's gonna be lucky number 25?

Hey Calm, I placed an order for Alphas, Mods and Ergo like a day or two back, think you could help me add a Tsangan set as well?
Michael, I think you should update the OP.
Once closed, everyone will have two weeks to pay.
Is that normal? Or should it be shorter?
I have no board with a numpad, yet I want the numpad kit :-X
Oh well, to hell with it.
Michael, can you add a numpad and a gamer kit to my order? One of each :)

Can you add a numpad set to my order? May be getting a non-TKL keyboard :eek:
Thanks!
Oh, damnit.
Just found out I'll be in class starting the 16th. I'll have my phone for a hotspot and my wife's old crappy laptop and not a lot of time on my hands, but I should be able to still get invoices out. Just give me a couple days to get them all sorted out. And on the offchance my wife's laptop craps the bed on me, I'll let you guys know and have invoices out that weekend when I get back.
Also, Affect656, I'll be up in Yongsan if you want to link up at some point.
Got any MX boards beside blue, or Topre I could try out?
Oh, damnit.

its a shame you are closing this so early, not everyone can recover their wallets so quickly after other group buys and purchases.
really want to join in on this as i want SA profile sets but i may not be able to afford it unless i rack up more debt on my credit card. we shall see.

Oh boy, it's really tempting to get in on this. I love the color scheme, but don't know yet whether I will like the SA profile.
I want to try my Commando 23 set before I commit to another SA set :-[
Decisions man, decisions!
So, just wanted you to know I created a GH account (well, and a formal paypay acct) strictly for the purpose of buying in.
Hopefully Massdrop will have another ergodox run in my lifetime, or I'm going to feel real silly about this purchase.

What are the next price breaks after 100 out of curiosity?
Ah actually it won't change anything of your spreadsheet format, just make it easier to order. You will still receive the number of orders as before.
If you want to test you can create another form and try different types on it to see if what I said is right or not.

I'll pledge the balance of your order to Geekhack dependent on you making the GB, else I'll cover it.
Ergo, if you are still short on funds when it's time to pay up, I'll cover it.
If you are able to make the payment, I'll donate an equal amount to Geekhack.
Net, your order stays in the queue.

Really appreciate it but i think ill be better if you just cancel my order
I'm having some trouble with the form: for most of the day it's not been appearing, I managed to get it to appear now, but it seemed to break (empty page shown) after submitting. Anyone else having trouble?
Any chance of confirming whether or not I successfully go onto the list?
Have we reached the new price tiers for the Alphas and Mods Calm?
Should hear back from Melissa Monday morning regarding the new tiers. I tend to hear from her on Mondays.
Someone needs to order 11 more ISO kits... ;D

Im fine with all three options, so im curious what you guys would like.
I don't mind nay of the three for the winkey.
There are a lot of people who signed up with WIN in the mocks, though, I would be a little worried about changing things from out under them.
I would prefer SUPER, and rather dislike a blank.

Hello,
I'm both a new member and a first-time GBer.
I've just filled in the order form (hopefully making the cut :D ).
The confirmation page came up fine. Is there anything else I need to do now, or just wait for a follow-up email regarding payment?
Thanks, these are awesome looking keys.
Used mechanical KBs for years, and never even realized there was a community around it...
Should have figured... there's a weird little spot on the internet for everyone :)

Now, how do we feel about changing the "win" 1.25 key to a blank or super? Any thoughts?1st choice might be "super" but it's closely followed by 'blank' ... I suppose Tux the penguin can't be brought to the table here, can he?

I wasn't paying attention when I did submitted my original order. Can you add one of the Kit 1 Alphas to my Ergodox kit to make a complete Ergodox keyset?
Thanks.
I prefer "SUPER" too rather than blank :blank:
btw Calm can you add more this to my order :p
1 Base Set
1 Modifier Set
1 Numpad Set
1 Tsangan Set
so the total become :
2 Base Set
2 Modifier Set
2 Numpad Set
1 Tsangan Set
Thanks Calm :thumb:
Also, Let me get some numbers and update the OP. We're... Well, we're doing kinda crazy good.
Everyone should pick up an extra Ergodox kit. These SA sets are extra thick :)
Alright guys, updated the OP
We broke 200 for the base set, and are almost there for mods.
We broke 100 numpad and tsangan sets.
Broke 75 for the gamer kit.
And look like we might just hit 50 ergodox kits (Come on guys, you KNOW those will sell)
Are these DSA?
These are SA, they're a taller-than-DSA and thicker spherical profile. IMO, they're the way-better spherical profile.
Did you figure out what to do about the row 2 profile esc key?
To make it compatible with poker type keyboards.
wow, great new price :p
Hey guys, just a thought.
We are 5 orders of ergodox away from the next price bracket, at roughly 7 dollar break.
If we added 5 orders of ergodox, which comes to about $130, and split it 40 ways, each ergodox would be spending under $3 additional, but get a $7 price break, so a net of 4 dollars off
Plus it gives me 5 ergodox sets to put up for charity auction.
So either way this goes, whether we get another 5 ergodox orders or not, Ergo will be getting a few dollars off.

guys, does anyone have this profile on a costar board? (ideally a filco) i really hope the keys don't grind on the stabilized keys (enter, shift...)
i'm really excited for this, pretty much my first GB participation :))
Okay, NOW the OP shows pricing with SUPER keys.
I'm now in for one of everything :)
The new price tiers are great!
Thinking about adding a numpad to my order - just in case ;D
btw what is a "Tsangan" set good for?
Okay, NOW the OP shows pricing with SUPER keys.
I'm running off to work, but everyone that has requested additions or modifications to their orders please be patient. Once I get off work today I'll be updating everyone's orders.
Also, I have not been updating the OP, to include the lists of what's been added. Unfortunately I don't have time to modify the images to reflect, and I didn't want it to be overly confusing for anybody.
The items are added (like a row 2 esc key, and 1.25 super keys to the MODs set.).
I'll get with you guys again this afternoon!
Can you add a gamer pack too my order? Thanks!
Hi CalmB4, I should have an order in with 1 each of alphas, mods, and numpad.
Could you please update mine to include Tsangan+ and ISO?
Much appreciated, and thanks for all the work :)
Hope you got my order!
Bro, Any update for this GB ???
Quick! Someone order 6 more Modifier sets and 4 more ergodox sets!
I already ordered one more of each, can't really afford to push these to the next tier solo.
I already ordered one more of each, can't really afford to push these to the next tier solo.
Hopefully Calm will push it over for us. ;)
Orders close in less than 6 hours and most (if not all) invoices will go out today.
major question, will the mods say enter or return for stock mods?
For most everything, the second set of mockups that MOZ did (and not the original image at the top, which was only for color comparison) is true, but I'm going to overrule the Return key here, unless there is a large and upset mob regarding my decision.

I'm confused. :p Is there going to be an "Enter" or a "Return" key? Personally, I like Return better.
You guys will have two weeks from time of invoice to pay.
Okay. Here's the deal.
I have not tested how many keycap sets will fit in a small rate box, because I don't have enough keycap sets on hand. Chances are, if you're ordering even a full 104 key set, it wont fit in a small rate. If someone has some SA keycaps and a small rate box on hand, and can confirm this, I would appreciate it.
All of these apply to CONUS shipping, and that's what I'll be invoicing tonight.
1 base + 1 mod = $6 shipping (I think that'll fit small flat rate)
1 base + 1 ergo = $6
5 base + 5 mods (or more) = $14 shipping (medium flat rate)
anything in between that will be $10 shipping. I have to purchase the packaging and ship, and it should come out to around $10.
Additionally, I have decided to get TEN sets for charitable causes. 3 standard keyboard sets (one of everything but Ergodox) and 7 Ergodox sets (alphas and ergos). This will help us reach TWO new price points, Mods and Ergos. These costs will be split amongst the entire group buy, and will come out to $4.95 per person. All of these sets will be auctioned or sold with proceeds going to cover anything I lose out on shipping costs, with 100% of the rest being donated to GH.
Just to make this clear, by my doing this charity thing, and us getting the new tiers from it, most of you aren't paying an extra 5 dollars. Those of you with an Ergodox order are SAVING 2 dollars from my doing this charity. Those of you getting an ISO are SAVING 4 dollars. The charity is saving a third of this GB more money than it's costing them, and the rest of us can just suck it up. It's for a good cause.
In addition, I will be purchasing 2 ISO sets which will put us into the next ISO tier.
Any one person quitting can pull us out of the Ergo and ISO teirs, but I will be paying out of my own pocket to pick up the slack if it's not more than a couple people, though I will ask when the time comes, if anyone wants a last chance at getting one or two extra ergodox or ISO sets to keep us in the tier and do us all a favor. For now, though, don't worry about it.
So, for the vast majority of you, expect the cost of your order to be invoiced today + $10 for shipping (unless you bought a tkl set) + $5 for the GB
Thanks for participating! Let's make this a success together.
Oh, and I forgot to mention, the 4.95 charity buy in is only a requirement if you're spending more than $50 in this GB. Most of you are, but the one or two that are just getting a couple Gamer kits aren't required to spend on the Charity buy.I was starting complaining but you read my mind :)
In each invoice, I've taken the time to include what your order numbers were, so you can confirm on your side if it's right or not.
I hope there's not too many that aren't right, because that'll be a pain, but we can fix it if it's wrong.
Also, Skuko I've got you down for
1 Base set
1 Mod set
1 Tsangan and
1 Gamer kit.
I'm already about half way through the US orders (which make up about half of the orders total)
I'll be doing this by country, as I figure out shipping to each country.
If anything, I'll be overshooting shipping prices by a dollar or two to your country, because honestly I'd rather you get screwed out of 2 bucks, than I get screwed out of 280 bucks over 140 orders. That's the breaks. If I come out ahead for this buy, it's all going to GH.
Okay, so shipping weight will be a big difference for international shipping. 1 pound shipping weight is about 17 dollars, 2 pounds is 25.
This part will take a lot more math than CONUS shipping. At least Europe, and asia, and australia, all have almost the exact same shipping cost, and Canada is a bit cheaper for me.
Oh, yeah. Before I get too far into this.
Elrick, you want to be an Aussie proxy? It'd probably save everyone some cash, yourself included.
Anyone want to step up as an Asia proxy?
EU?
Canada isn't that much more than CONUS, so I'm not worried about them.
can get you a specific number if you'd like.I don't get what you mean by that.
Is it possible to have our orders sent directly? I'd rather just pay the extra for shipping, rather than use a proxy.

Sure no worries. Anything to help out :thumb: . But since there are not too many here who have ordered from Australia, it may be a very low amount hence cheaper if everyone paid you extra for shipping to their front door, rather than shipping it all to my place here in Perth, WA.
Just to be clear, these will be prepacked and ready to forward, or do I have to sort/pack them?
Please don't decide how to ship my order yet. I may change the order and the address later...
Please, god. When you pay the invoice leave me a note with your GH name. It'll save me... lots and lots of time.

Now I feel like a jerk because I just logged in and paid before reading this =\ Would it help if I shot you a PM with the transaction ID or anything?

Nah, man. Don't worry about it.
I know people generally check their email before GH, so don't stress over it. It'll just make it easier if the info is in paypal.
This way, I have to click onto the details of every order, to get your email address. Ctrl+F to find it in the google doc spreadsheet, and Ctrl+F to find it in the OP to update paid.
It'll just save me like 30 seconds if you put it in the invoice info.

I take it you're an Opeth fan with the Demon of the Fall blurb? If so, high-five!
I know people generally check their email before GH, so don't stress over it.Exactly. And, sorry. 66.86, paid about an hour ago. Bearcat is my email, and as you see AKmalamute is my forum name. Bonus internet to you if you get the reference there but it's obscure enough I wouldn't expect it.
Also, I've decided that since so many people are paying. It'll probably be easier for me to wait a good 48 hours, and then update the OP with who -hasn't- paid. So if I don't update the paid list, don't freak out. It'll get updated when it starts becoming important.You may need to mark orders as "Shipped" in Paypal, to avoid getting your account locked up. I know some other GBs I've been part of have done this, not sure if there's a specific volume of orders or dollar amount that triggers this.
Haven't received an invoice yet... is this because I'm in Asia? :(
hey calm, any rough estimate for the EU invoices please? :)
no pressure, just curious, take your time :thumb:
I haven't got an invoice yet... Did you say you sent out the Canadian invoices?
You know, a thought just occurred to me. Since I'm doing auctions to donate to GH at the end of all of this, and we're going to end up with a good amount of Ergodox kits. I wonder if I can put together a complete Ergodox to auction off. I might just have sourced a case. If someone wants to donate a PCB, that would be outstanding. Or some switches other than black (Which is what I would be able to provide.)
Give me a shout if you've got something to donate!

Ar...just sold my pcb :(
Hm, I don't remember whether I put my paypal email when I signed up for this. I'll PM you it if I didn't.
Have not received my invoice yet, am from Asia (Malaysia) by the way. Have they all gone out, as you did say stragglers would get theirs by Saturday? Just assuming you are going by Korean time btw.
I received the invoice, but won't pay, as I will be proxying for Asia, there will be some sum that you will have to pay me, so we can do the math and see who has to pay who, that way we don't end up paying PayPal twice.
My order total is $69.42
Also, I don't think I need to pay $9 on my order, to proxy to myself :P

I'll cancel your invoice entirely. I wasn't thinking about it when I put it all together.
Once I send you the big box of stuff to send out (and your order in there as well) I'll paypal you the total needed to ship out packages, but minus your total order cost.
Hey CalmB4tehPwn, I've just received my invoice. I saw that you charged me $14 for EU shipping. I thought you said it would be cheaper if we use a proxy. Also you charged me $4.95 charity buy (???). This was not mentioned when I signed-up for this - I still cannot find a $5 charity charge. Is there a choice to opt-out?
Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't know about this - you're right, makes sense now.Hey CalmB4tehPwn, I've just received my invoice. I saw that you charged me $14 for EU shipping.

he mentions in the OP from the start he would be adding a few bucks on to cover extra sets etc, this is always done one way or another in every group buy, some people do what is donehere and add it on after the price of sets, some people build it into the price of sets, this is for your protection, if one of your keys is damaged or missing, they are replaced from the extra sets, once all is said and done here, calm plans to auction off the extra sets left for charity, that is why the word charity is there
it is not fair to ask someone running a gb to buy these sets from their own pocket, he isnt running a business, he is just offering his time to facilitate this set happening
How about the EU shipping? is it $13.5? is it $14? According to this, it should be $13.5hey calm, any rough estimate for the EU invoices please? :)
no pressure, just curious, take your time :thumb:
Yep. BunnyLake has stepped up to proxy for EU orders, so 1 keycap set will sit at about 7.50 shipping from him. Plus 2 to get all the orders to him, plus another 3 for packaging materials. 13.50 for EU orders, or 19.00 USD if you have 3 or more.
For Asia, it'll be 15.00 for 1 set, 21.00 USD for 2 or more.
Please PM me if you would like to NOT go through a proxy, so I can keep everyone separate. For those placing large orders, of 3 or more keycap sets, I plan to ship straight to you, and not through a proxy.I haven't got an invoice yet... Did you say you sent out the Canadian invoices?
I have not. I wanted to get everything square before I moved forward. The vast majority of invoices should go out today, with any stragglers coming out tomorrow (if I get burnt out)
If you're in the US, however, and you didn't get an invoice. Please PM me.

i am in the UK and dealing with all uk and eu orders, with regards specifically to Uk orders, shipping will cost less than stated, however to make calms life easier he marked all eu with a flat rate, in order to make the invoicing process easier for him, once orders are paid and i receive the shipping funds, if UK people would like to contact me for a rebate on the difference i would be happy to deal with them directly to make calms life easierAll right, sounds good :)

Bunny covered it while I was asleep.
EU came out to 13.5, and Asia came out to 14. I was pinched for time and decided to scrub the order list only so many times before I said screw it and charged a flat rate for EU/Asia/Australia. The flat rate was never more than .50 cents off the estimate, but it would have taken a significant amount of extra time on my part to try and reorganize the list to make it easy to get custom shipping quotes out.
Also, Bunny covered the charity buy in for me. Firstly, they're for covering asses. The charity buy got us into new price tiers, saving almost half the people in this buy either 7 or 9 dollars, depending on the order, and will give me extra keys to work with when sending out orders. If SP shorts us a couple keys, this way everyone still gets their orders.
And on top of that, we get to do something fun, and donate upwards of a thousand dollars to GH. Plus it gives me a means of covering my own ass if shipping charges turn out to be outrageous, which is actually pretty likely, from reading other GB threads.
I am not trying to gouge anyone, and I'm sorry for not updating the OP to make it clear. Sometimes when you're in the center of this whole thing, it's hard to recognize that there's people on the fringes, and I forgot there's people who haven't followed every post in this thread.
If, however, you would like a refund of 50 cents, I can cancel the payment and issue a specific invoice. It will have to wait, though, as I'm heading to class for four days starting... in like 20 minutes
Take care!
Michael
Hey hendy.
I either amended it and just missed the gamer set when I invoiced, or I invoiced correctlt and made a typo when typing out the details, or I pmed you saying it was updated when I hadnt done it it.
I doubt its the last one.
I will check when I get home, and see if paypal matches what it should be, and see if my spreadsheet is wrong.
Worst case, I refund the paymeny and issue a new invoice. Not a big deal
Very keen to see how these turn out, just couldn't pull the trigger but I can tell I'm going to regret it later!
Okay finally Paid Calm :p
Thanks!
Okay finally Paid Calm :p
Thanks!
Darn, I didn't get a chance to go through the invoices yesterday and check your order. Do you still want a gamer set, and is it important enough to you for me to go through the list and issue a new invoice?
Calm, it was AKmalamute that had the problem with their invoice and the missing Gamer setI've IM'd him, he knows to look for that. Possibly b/c I don't have an avatar; dunno. Anyway he's on top of that now. So he PM'd from his phone device earlier in the day.
Getting it up and running now, PMing you in a minute when I figure out where this slipped through the cracks, AK
So, thanks for all your help. Paypal is already being the tiniest bit wonky because Just this morning the money came out for the first, as-it-turn-out-incorrect bill. So I'm going to wait for Paypal to to catch up before paying the corrected invoice.
Partly because tomorrow is payday and it would be much nicer on my account if I don't risk paypal catching up in the wrong order! But I do have the corrected invoice sitting in my inbox with the amount I expected.
Calm, did you already received my payment ?
[...]I totally understand. It's late enough in the day I've gone ahead and told PayPal to process payment on the new invoice ... hopefully it'll all shake out correctly by the morning. And hey, I even included my GH username as a note.
So, that being said, to ensure everyone gets time to pay, and sort out their 1st of the month paycheck, payment will be due on
OCT 4th, at midnight, GH time
[...]
I don't want 10 people to PM me asking to cover them until they can get paid. I can't insure that many people.
Calm, did you already received my payment ?
Yeah, I've got you.
Let me reiterate, since I've gotten a good number of these PMs.
I have gotten a very lot of payments. Chances are like 99.9% that if you paid, your payment is among those. I have not had a chance to go through all of these payments and update the OP, so just because it's blank by your name doesn't mean I didn't get your money, it just means I haven't gotten to you yet. I'm working on it, and I'll have it updated either by, or over the weekend. If at THAT point you're showing up unpaid, then please PM me so we can sort it out.
Thanks
We're nearing the home stretch, let's knock this one out of the park (not to mix metaphors or anything.)
Whew, already getting lots of volunteers!
2 people have paid already, next 6 people to send me $10 gift to phoenixcreations@hotmail.com get an ISO kit added to their order.
THANK YOU GUYS, you're saving this GB. Or my wallet. You're allowing me to justify buying the ErgoDox kits we need to hit THAT tier break.

Calm, did I order an ISO kit?
If not, you can add one to my order to help meet the MOQ.
At some point I'll go through an ISO phase and wish I had them anyway :)
I'll take the last ISO kit
I'll take the last ISO kit
I'll take the last ISO kit
Just to be clear, you had 1 ISO in your order already, I'm marking you down for a second one.
Just a quick note, you are advertising regular sized Shift and Enter keys in the OP but if you remember from R4, they don't have those sizes. Look at shots of R4 kits... Those keys are too small

yeah i heard this was all sorted now
Also, those of you who've donated $10, we've hit our ISO goal, and I thank you very much. On top of the ISO kit, you'll be getting additional goodies in your packages (most likely chainmaille bracelets, because that's what I have to offer)

What!! Those things come in bracelet form now?!?! Where can I get one of those?
Woohoo!
Time to make some real keycaps SP!
Can I still order this? ;D
I need kit 1, 2, 3 and 4 and 5 and 7

Can I work for your company? What does it do?
Can you not just take their address from PayPal and anyone who wants it to a different address can PM you?
Don't you tell me how to make my job like eight thousand times easier.
I can make this as difficult and upsetting and time consuming as I like.

any news, michael? everything smooth?
Any 1800 users want to split the cost of adding appropriate "+" and "-" keys for the numpad? Should be around $110 total from what I talked with Melissa about. I can foot around 50% of the cost, but sharing the burden would be ideal. At a minimum we just get a 1x "+" and have the "-" in the wrong profile (I think some other keys will also be the wrong profile on 1800 layout, but currently there is no 1x +)
I would chip in for the 1800 keys (really want to use these on one of those redline alu-skinned 1800 replicas).
EDIT: and I would also be interested in any further changes which improve 1800-compatibility, depending on how things work out.
To be clear, he's talking about a $110 total, to include a 1x + key to every numpad set.
Also, it didn't occur to me until yesterday, we didn't meet the MOQ for the modifier sets, which puts us at $34.28 per mod set, as opposed to 32.83, which is what I charged everybody for.
So now we're roughly $262 short. This wont prove to be a particularly large problem until we go to ship everything out. I didn't leave a lot of lee-way, as I only factored about 1.50 per order in the shipping from SP, so everyone should have paid almost exactly what it'll cost to actually get the items to them, except for the charity buy in.
Now, we will certainly get enough to recoup my losses from charity, but then, that's taking away from the amount that ends up going to GH.
So, if anyone wants to make a relatively large donation to the GB, you'll be directly boosting the amount GH gets after the auction. If you want to buy a significant amount of extra keysets, that's another way to boost this whole thing.
I don't have a good answer here, except to pull it from the charity buy in. I'm not going to go through and invoice 139 people for a buck fifty each, so unless someone has a very intensely brilliant plan, I'm out of ideas.
Also, don't forget the numpad comes with extra blank keycaps. But I'm biased on the matter, not having the board in question. So if you want to combine an effort and get a 1x + key added, cool. You can send it to me and I'll make sure melissa adds it to the numpad set.
To be clear, he's talking about a $110 total, to include a 1x + key to every numpad set.
Also, it didn't occur to me until yesterday, we didn't meet the MOQ for the modifier sets, which puts us at $34.28 per mod set, as opposed to 32.83, which is what I charged everybody for.
So now we're roughly $262 short. This wont prove to be a particularly large problem until we go to ship everything out. I didn't leave a lot of lee-way, as I only factored about 1.50 per order in the shipping from SP, so everyone should have paid almost exactly what it'll cost to actually get the items to them, except for the charity buy in.
Now, we will certainly get enough to recoup my losses from charity, but then, that's taking away from the amount that ends up going to GH.

That sucks!
I can't contribute that much in one shot but I'd be willing to split the cost between 4 people or more. Hopefully, at least 4 other people would want to split the $262.

I'm in for an 1800 kit
Don't order 194 mods at $34.28 ($6650.32), it is $84 less to buy 200 at $32.83 ($6566). Unless fewer than 194 people actually paid.
Here's the final numbers for the order:
Modifier set: 181
i am going to need to cancel my order. Sorry guys.Calm already cancelled unpaid orders so fortunately for us this doesn't ( / shouldn't?) affect the numbers right now. But as he said elsewhere you gotta eat first. Try not to feel too envious when we start posting phone-photos of our colorful new keycap-equipped keyboards :)
I assumed the ergodox kit was row 3.
I'm in to assist with the $450 overage.
But, I am hoping enough people help as well. Fingers crossed!
We're missing mod sets? Instead of chipping in $25, why don't I just buy another mod set for myself? If that's OK with you Calm...

We're good on Ergodox, I put up the money to hit that MOQ, but we are 19 short on Mods.
If we can manage 19 extra mod orders, then that will work equally well. I figured it'd be easier to get 8 people to chip in $25, than have 19 people chip in $32, and still be down because of the numpad and shipping (which would come to about $200)
Also, I don't know where I fudged some numbers, Daniel is right, numpad addition comes to an extra $55, not an extra $110. But we're still over by the same amount. I'm at work, which hates PayPal, and today, Hotmail, but anyone that wants to chip in can gift me $25 through paypal, and include your GH name in the notes, and I'll make sure a bracelet or pair of earrings makes it your way.

Ok. I think it's a better idea to get the people in agreement first before you have anyone randomly making it rain on your Paypal.
Agree/Disagree??
Like I said before, I'm on board to chip in.

sir how much are you down on the gb, ill make a donation, shoot me your paypal and let me know how much your missing so i can work out a good percentage
So, you said in passing something about everyone paying a dollar ... I know it'd be silly to invoice that, and someone above said something about not making it rain on your paypal account, but ... it sounds like the crack is wide enough to recommend some filler?
IOW if everyone who isn't jockeying for your favor sends one $USD, you'd be about a third fixed up, right?
Okay, guys. I need to make a decision on the numpad thing, so I'm calling it. We will not be including the 1x "+" in the numpad set.
This will make it easier for me to move forward with the purchase, as well as give you guys the opportunity to run a GB specifically for the 1800, so you can get an accurate set for it.
If Daniel, or anybody else wants to use the info from this GB for any sets in the future, feel free to. I'll tell Melissa that as well, as they're always concerned with stuff like that. I just can't hold up the purchase any further for this. Sorry, folks.
I'm still a bit short from the Modifier MOQ, and would appreciate a couple more donations to get us back on track, but I'm going to make the purchase as soon as possible, now.
Have you seen BunnyLake raising funds for your losses?
Jewelry, it reminds me, those chainmaille cables, what happened!
Cool, am stil waiitng on your solution for the ends, before I start making my first chainmaille. Excited.
Just letting everybody know, since Bunny has decided to help out I'm confident I'll have the $$ to ship these to you when the time comes, so I'm going ahead with the purchase, but without the 1x "+" key for the numpad.
I'm glad we can finally push forward with this, and get some product moving!
Also, Melissa updated me with more accurate production times. She said they don't have the raw materials on hand for this big of an order (go us!) so we're looking at closer to 6 weeks, than 4 weeks.
Alright, folks.
Payment has been sent to SP, so we are officially in production! 6 weeks starts today.
Over the next two weeks, I'll be gathering and organizing shipping addresses from you guys, or confirming the ones I already have, then printing off shipping labels so all I have to do it sort and ship.
Hopefully the rest of this will go nice and smooth.

Well, guys. With the donations that came through, and now with Bunny's raffle, we're entirely back on track cash wise. There should be no further issues regarding this GB.

Though maybe I could ask them to sort into three packages. One to MOZ, one to Bunny, and one to my wife. That way the only people held up are those in the states, but MOZ and Bunny would need to sort them into individual packages.
Alright, I'm going to tap out for the day. I'll update you as soon as I have anything for you.
I'm unfortunately in a situation myself and thus looking to wrap my own current GBs in Nov.
It's a unique and sticky situation, where I would be available online in Dec and Jan, but not offline, so none of that sorting, proxying, making acrylic stuff for those two months.
I've PMed Calm regarding possible solutions.
I live in Minnesota. YGPM, Calm.
I'm not a "reputable" member of the community but another option I can offer is to just send it to me and if it shows up before you leave we can sort and ship together, and if it doesn't I can undertake the task or from there forward it somewhere else? Just an option, not the best but possible.
Just an update here, everything is on track with one major exception.
I have been living with a back injury since my deployment to Iraq in '08, and very recently the injury has become unmanageable, leaving me unable to propery perform my duties in the Army. That said, my near future may be a mess. At some point within the next few months I will begin the process of ending my service to the military, and the first step of that process is to have a change of station to be located with a WTU (Warrior Transistion Unit) a unit set up for people like me, all of which are located within the US. This means that this time next month, I might be leaving Korea.
My biggest fear is to have been assured I have say, a month left in country and tell SP "Oh sure, I got plenty of time, send it through" and it ends up on a boat, instead of a plane, and I leave with all of our keycaps in limbo.
That being said, this is a pretty ****ty situation and I'm sorry. I did not expect to be processing out this early. So, until I'm certain I am either staying put, or get moved and have a new mailing address, I plan to tell SP to hold onto the package until I am sure of where it needs to go without ****ing everyone, include myself, over.
The other option here, is that we could send it to a reputable member of the community that is alright taking on the burden of shipping this GB.
Or, if someone in the Minnesota area would be willing to hold onto it, when I do make it stateside, when my wife comes to visit me at which ever post I end up at, could pick the boxes up and deliver them to me.
None of these options are great, but I will have more info on my circumstances in about 3-5 weeks, and it all depends on what they find, and what they say. That's about the time production should be completed, so hopefully I have a better answer for you than "I don't ****ing know"
I just realized. I could just ship it to my Wife.
Anyways. All of that bad news out of the way. This GB will be completed. We are on track, we've just got a delay potentially waiting down the line. Stick with me and everyone will be getting their keycaps. And I could see what it would cost to get SP to sort and ship, but that would be a bit of a nightmare, because they'd have to price every single order's shipping cost, which might differ from my shipping cost, and could end up with another big cost added onto what everyone has already done to help out.
Though maybe I could ask them to sort into three packages. One to MOZ, one to Bunny, and one to my wife. That way the only people held up are those in the states, but MOZ and Bunny would need to sort them into individual packages.

Podcast?
Plenty of useless info about this group but in the recent podcast.
I hope everyone is doing well and has a happy thanksgiving. I'll update you all as soon as I have updates to give, and will definitely be checking in every week.
Plenty of useless info about this group but in the recent podcast.
For those wondering what "useless info" was in the podcast. It was basically a recap of the end of thread. Here's another one in text:
Calm, the group buy organizer, was in Korea with US Military and was planning to have SP, the plastics maker doing the set for us, ship to the him on the base. Even though this adds time, it still only costs US shipping. However, Calm found out he was leaving abruptly due to medical issues. In his last posts he mentioned either having SP hang onto the set until he sorts his situation out or shipping them to his wife. (source) (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=48214.msg1096717#msg1096717)
He's been on the forum a few times since October but hasn't yet clarified where the caps are. An update's probably coming soon.
Thanks you both for the information. Seems this podcast was childish, over-reacted and not empathic at all, I'm glad to have missed that.Plenty of useless info about this group but in the recent podcast.

Oh you made it sound so much better.
Them calling it calmderps and basically saying OP had no business running a group buy and insinuating it was going to fail seemed to be the focus. :/
If anyone stateside would like to volunteer to take over sorting and mailing entirely, we can talk about it and work something out+100 with this. I think if we want things to run smoothly and avoid our caps travelling twice around the world it would be a reasonable option. But then someone has to volunteer to do it.
Sorry to ask but what's « derps » ? Is it slang ? I didn't find a translation.
Thanks for the update Calm. I would be glad to help people ship everything if your situation doesn't get better. I think there's a bunch of GHer's in the Silicon Valley and we could get a packing party together.
It's distressing to hear my character was played upon in this podcast, but I can't control the breaks in this particular deal. Anyways, BunnyLake has volunteered his crew to step up and take over the shipping on this GB. I hate to put all of this on him and his people, but it's a better alternative than a 6 month wait.
Thanks, nuclearsandwich.
[...] Part of this is due to my work schedule kicking up, and part is due to my feeling guilty that I started this, and it's now in limbo. [...]
Thanks for the kind words, guys.
Honestly, since I started this GB, and invested a significant amount of money into it. Plus, the fact that I have two project boards that I've made no progress on (despite having a whole set of brand new clears waiting for me to get busy with) I've found little interest in spending too much time on the forums. I can't afford to join any GBs besides my own, there's nothing I can afford on the classifieds that piques my interest. I can't spend all day looking at info and opinions on switches and keycap materials when I've either got it on the way, or couldn't afford to try anything new.
It's just frustrated to be so interested in Mech keyboards, but being unable to do much else beside dip my toe in this ocean.
I'm not going anywhere, that's not why I'm saying all of this, I'm just in a weird place in my life right now, and GH isn't an exception for me. I'm just losing interest in things.

I know that feel, my own GBs have been stalled due to real life issues, but stay on the forum and keep communicating. I have found that this community is very forgiving, and communication is essential, they understand when we the GB organisers run into roadblocks and things get delayed, just stay with them and give them updates, even if it is "Nothing new to say this week except that I am alive and this GB will be eventually be fulfilled".
I can't abide wasting time, I need to be moving, accomplishing something. I get in a weird place when I can't.
Anybody know of any IT positions in Minnesota?
I can't abide wasting time, I need to be moving, accomplishing something. I get in a weird place when I can't.
Yep been there done that. You feel absolutely USELESS when stuck in that type of rut. But there is always a new day with opportunities presenting themselves to you. The trick is tuning in on them. I was arrogant as hell when I finished Uni all those years ago because when you get a degree you think you own the world but when you hit REALITY - walking the streets looking for work, it hits you harder than any drunk in a pub fight.
Just persist because something will always present itself, it might not be the optimum job with a huge pay-packet but it ties you over till you find another job and so-forth. Build up that resume and before long you'll get that job you've been wanting in the first place.Anybody know of any IT positions in Minnesota?
I'm sure anyone here from GH would know someone from Minnesota? It's a big town hence more opportunity, never been there hence my huge guess on what's possibly available.
Haven't checked in on this thread for a while.
Calm, I hope you get your health and a job sorted out.
Kudos to you in handing this over to Bunny and kudos to him for stepping in.
waiting。。。。。。。For what?
Just a quick question about the modifiers in this set, since there is some conflicting data. The concept picture shows two Win keys plus a menu key, but the mods kit lists the following:Quote---- 1.25u Win
---- 1.25u Menu
---- 2x 1.25u Menu
Surely it wouldn't have only one Win key and three Menu keys? That leaves one naked Win switch and a couple extra menu keys floating around.
I will volunteer for shipping before waiting 6 months. There are some other geekhack members in or near Florida that I am sure would come over to help sort/ship.

Well. That is... Wrong. It should be 2x 1.25u Win and 2x 1.25 Menu.
Unfortunately, you're the first ones to catch it, to include Moz, the deisgner, and myself, the approving authority.
SP is already deep into production, so there's no chance of changing the order now without extra cost, but with any luck they saw it was probably a mistake and corrected it (why would we list 1.25u Menu and 2x 1.25u Menu right next to eachother in the same order?) But there's also a decent chance that they'll just adhere to the letter what the order states and we might be making due with a Menu key on the right side.
It's personally not a problem for me, and I'll even give you my win key if it's that big of a problem for you (Though I can't offer that more than once!)
Well. That is... Wrong. It should be 2x 1.25u Win and 2x 1.25 Menu.Maybe it's a good idea to notify them anyway (in case you didn't do that already). We don't know where they are in production, there could still be a chance that they can correct it without too much effort. How much would it cost?

Plus, my appointment is Friday. Hopefully it holds good news for me (which isn't good news for this GB, unless you consider it getting handed to Bunny and his team good news, which I suppose it is, because it'll ensure that the rest of this GB goes as smoothly as possible, whereas if it came to me, where I'm still evening out wrinkles and figuring out how this whole thing works. I mean, I'm not saying it'd be unsmooth, but I doubt I can compete with Bunny's operation.)
Okay. I figured out where the confusion lay.
The base mod set was always for 1x 1.25u Win and 1x 1.25u Menu keys. We added 2x 1.25u SUPER keys, and on our side, they got added as "MENU" keys accidentally.
Sorry about the confusion, and I hope having a single Win key isn't a disaster for everybody.
If it is, I guess we can discuss where to go from here.
No, the order as submitted (and currently in production) is
1x 1.25 Win key
1x 1.25 Menu key
2x 1.25 Super keys.
If bunny takes over will I have to pay more for international shipping?
Hello hello.
Just wondering if there are any updates.
Thanks!
Hey guys, update time.
My doctor wants me to go get acupuncture before he recommends a medboard. So I'm still in limbo out here.
Haven't heard of a final date from SP yet, but since SP and my Meboard date keeping getting pushed back, I'm almost certain that I'll be moving when it's set to come in.
So, that being said, I'm going to spend this week getting the shipping addresses straight, and sending PMs for confirmation when I have questions, then passing the whole thing over to Bunny and his team.
Thanks for sticking through on this ride, everyone will have their orders soon!
Thanks for your update Pwn. Did SP delay the date again? Really surprised/glad that you're getting acupuncture. I didn't know that US medical doctors are considering acupuncture as a valid alternative to painkillers.
trust me
Just, not here please.
but everyone here on GH is quite patient and understanding!
Okay, guys. Here's the first actual update in awhile.
PRODUCTION IS COMPLETE.
that being said, Bunny has asked to put shipping to his crew off until Jan 6th, so they can finish up the HyperFuse GB, and not get bogged down.
So, SP will be shipping the package to Bunny's US side guy in two and a half weeks. Sounds a lot better than 6 months, eh?
Once again, everyone give Bunny and his team a big round of applause, as they're the ones making this happen.

Where is Bunny located? I'm in central Florida but will probably be going out to LA/Pasadena for the BCS Championship. I would love to help if I can.
Thanks for the news, Calm. You did a great job for organizing your first GB, so thanks for that. Bunny will no doubt take care of the rest of things for you and the rest of us.Well said. Thank you Calm and Bunny for doing this!
So thank you Calm, and thank you Bunny + minions for this GB :D
Alright, guys. No new info. You know what I know, which is that SP will be shipping it to Bunny's guys on the 6th of Jan.
Plans have not changed, but I have been remiss in getting shipping info and stuff to Bunny.
Lucky me, I've still got a week and a half before it's even a concern.

Did SP ever send photos of the set during production? I'd love to see some images of what this came out like.
She said she'll take some pictures Monday and email them to me.
I'll pass 'em on as soon as I have 'em.

The Military is miserable about appointment wait times. It's usually at least a month between setting up an appointment, and getting seen.

I am not doing this GB for profit. Period. I will be charging some extra on top of each order. 2 or 3 dollars, to cover in case shipping runs high, and to order a couple extra sets. These sets are not for me, they will be auctioned off after the GB is complete. My plan is to have three extra sets after all is said and done, and hold three auctions.
ok guys, this has been transferred over to me now, ill be contacting sp in the next few days to sort it all out and get it moving again
Thank you both for your hard work. Bunny, let us know if there's anything we can do to help.
Calm, please keep us updated on your treatment.
At this time Bunnylake is handling the shipping, you should PM him too.

On that note, I still haven't had my acupuncture. My physician had a family emergency, his son in a serious car accident. I'm on the cancellations list, and should receive a last minute phone call when a spot opens up.
And another hat's off to bunny.
Thank you Calm and Bunny!
This is my first GB for my first mechanical keyboard, and this is my first post. :p
I have a barebones WASD board with browns that has been sitting around for a few weeks now as I wait for this set.
One step closer. This is the one set I've been crossing my fingers for :)

thats the short right shift
Also I don't recall if it was mentioned, but you showed the stepped caps lock with the iso set which had me paranoid at first, but the off-center stepped caps lock is definitely part of the modifier set.

seems to be from the OP good sir
Also, an update on my back injury.
There is no update on my back injury. Since I'm now processing out of the army, they don't seem interested in actually helping me anymore.
Army medicine was weak to begin with, I don't know why I thought they'd take care of me before I was out.
Calm, will you be eligible for military disability after you leave? That may be something you want to investigate now before you're fully processed out.
Quick update. After checking the original order with SP, the fault lays with me, and not with SP.
As I was still fairly new, I was taking advice from a few sources on what keys belong in which kit. When this GB started, it was brought to my attention that stepped capslock were excluded entirely, and we took steps to remediate that. I brought it up much earlier in this thread, stating that it was going into the ISO+ kit (kit 4), and I placed the order as such. When it was brought up again (as I had failed to update the OP), I then updated the OP incorrectly, placing it in the Modifier kit. This was an error on my part, and anyone who is short a stepped capslock, because they expected it in the Modifier kit, is short because of me.
So what we're going to do, is sell off the 9 ErgoDox kits that I purchased (half with alphas, and half with blank deep dish keys for the alpha keys) and put that money towards a new GB through SP for anyone that needs a stepped caps lock.
Don't be shy. If you bought this expecting one, speak up. If you don't care one way or the other, Bunny has no reason to hold on to your keyset, and can ship it to you. However, if you want a stepped caps, it'll be easiest for bunny (and the funding of the GB) to hold onto your order until the stepped caps come in. I'm sure SP can pump out a few keycaps to complete the set pretty quickly.
So speak now if you have an opinion on the matter. Bunny and I will do everything we can to get the keycap set that you want to you as quickly as we can get it to you.
The keys look really nice!
I agree that I should wait till you guys can get the off-center stem keys. It's really a big problem to me without those. Hope it could be fixed quickly.

Ahh crap, seems like it was foreshadowing on my part. Glad to hear you guys are working through the issues regarding the stepped caps lock keys :)
what about orders that did not have modifier kits? Are you going to wait to ship those as well, or get them out when they are ready?
Let's hope so.
I wouldn't mind donating a few € to help with the process, let us know if/when this is necessary.
i think what is best is im gonna message sp, and find out a quote and time frame to get this resolved and we will work from there

i am here to help and facilitate this buy as much as possible, but as it isnt my buy i cant make any further financial investment into it, i raised and donated several hundred for this buy as well as participated, but i do wanna make clear the financial possible shortcomings i cant cover as i would on a personal buy of mine, luckily as calm says, we have some extra stuff which we can use to make up the costs of the additional keys needed and to help towards some shipping
yup
its a much more expensive fix that we thought, im in talks with them and once we resolve something i will post an update

i will most likely be selling mine (don't know what i ordered exactly, but TKL is there at the very least) since i don't really fancy SA (too high for me - tested with the Filco spherical set). i'll decide when i receive it.
I'm so sorry bunny , but could we have a visual description of what is wrong with the caps and what it should normally look like ? I really don't know if I'm affected and I can't make any decision :(
Sorry for the inconvenience as I'm just starting out with keyboard collecting hehe.

As someone who needs those stepped keys (especially the control, heh) but not the rest of the ISO kit, I'd be willing to put up $50 (perhaps more but that's the most I can do without running numbers) toward completing the set as intended.I'm so sorry bunny , but could we have a visual description of what is wrong with the caps and what it should normally look like ?

There's no defect with the caps. Most modern keyboards are made with the caps lock key's switch centered, the same as the tab key above it. However some boards, particularly Cherry and Korean custom boards use an off-center caps lock key designed to have a stepped. For example this image has a stepped caps lock key (http://oi45.tinypic.com/25qc1hf.jpg).
The stepped keys allow those of us with boards that have off-center caps lock keys to use the set and future proof those that have bought the set but don't yet own a board that needs it. (It'll happen to you)

You've inspired me!
I'm not a part of this group buy, but I'm certainly invested in the success of group buys in general, and I want to see this one succeed. Bunny has also helped me out in the past out of his own pocket, and I don't want to see any more burden placed on him. So I'll donate $30 towards seeing this set completed, funded by this sale (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=54824.0). (I'll donate regardless of whether I make the sale before money is needed.)
I'll fund $30 towards the set :thumb:
I should also add, I'm fine with dropping both stepped keys if it ends up being a problem. I think the set looks fine without them. Additionally, because of the profile and height of SA, I think the stepped caps looks a little odd anyways.

right but they are the only off centre keys, again, its not jsut that they are stepped, but for many people the set wont be functional without them as they dont make full touch off centre stemmed caps locks in sa, thank you very kindly for your offer sir
to be clear once again, dropping the keys altogether isnt an option, but dropping the number of them might be if we cant raise enough
I'm ok with a $30 donation
I'll happily kick in $30. This set is a present for my brother, so I won't even get to enjoy them :'(
That way anyone who was looking at putting in 30 still can (100% of the proceeds going to Bunny to complete the GB) plus you can get something extra from it, and it encourages other people to put in.
I think it's awesome that you're so committed to seeing this group buy through, Calm, but a raffle isn't necessary. In less than 24 hours half the needed money is already committed. I don't think anyone wants to see you throw a bunch of personal resources at this either; people make mistakes, and the point of a community is that we can share the burden.
Anyways, just my 2c ;)
@MOZ: Add me on to the list buddy! I would like to donate $100 to the cause. I may not have the biggest foot in many of the group buys I join, but I really would like to help out this GB. Calm did quite a good job for this being his first group buy. And, let's be honest, anything with Bunny's name on it will get finished with flying colors.
I agree with everyone here though: You don't need to offer more stuff to us just to get this thing finished, Calm.
I can really say that I'm proud to be a part of this community, and people just come out of the woodworks to help when it's needed.

I'm guessing spam. They've since been removed...except for the one that SpAmRaY has in his signature (http://geekhack.org/index.php?action=profile;u=26496). :)) :))
These pics are making me so jealous!! I want my set :(
i may be selling mine when they arrive, tested SA profile meanwhile, not truly loving it....

Yeah, the colorway is fantastic (I had a few in my crap bag). Too bad about the profile. Some people love it though.

Why do you not like them? Is the tall profile?
Elrick, why are you always so condescending to those who disagree with you?
As for the success of this group buy, it could have been the colorway, it could have been the profile, it could have been many things. In this case I'm guessing it was the color way that sold it. Commando only hit numbers in the upper 70s or 80s and different SA sets do better and others do worse than that. Bunny never released specific numbers on Penumbra, but I don't think it did as well as this set either.
My comment was just saying that I personally dislike the profile and commiserating with skuko over the profile because the colorway is great. I love seeing any group buy successful, regardless of the details and my own personal preferences. I fully acknowledged that some people love the profile. I don't get it, but everyone's tastes are different and I was glad to see the GB succeed.
the quality of these caps is no different from dcs or dsa, the moulds are different but the same material is used and the same standards are met, sa caps just happen to be thick
i like thick caps, but i dont like the height profile of SA, and i dont like a cap just because its thick
not trying to sway any opinions etc, everyone has different tastes, and i can certainly see why this style of cap hits home with many people

After using SA profile for a month now I can't go back to using the dreaded DCS rubbish ever again. That is why now I have to pull out of all DCS Group Buys because I'm not in love with them anymore.
For myself I found my sweetheart and it's BIG, large and very beautiful to me. Couldn't care less about any other adverse opinions because it's just that and nothing more. Sorry for those who seem to like DCS so much but your choice is rank and shouldn't be promoted in any way.
Even if this is the LAST SA profile ever made (which I know it isn't because Honeywell is still coming for me) I am content to never buy another key-set again, which means the moolah goes into other interests in my life which is wide and varied.
Life's too short to make apologies any more, about anything. Hence none shall be given 8) .
Just tried the set with a white case. It is glorious.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/J0RsE6u.jpg)

I was confused by this until it clicked that you probably didn't buy the set for that board! I missed the GB, were there options for 7x space and 1.5 mods? Looking good though :)Yeah no there was no such option, I was just curious to mix and match.

Awesome! Everything about this set is oversized and unapologetic. Dem arrows!
You better believe it. This key-set is only for those that appreciate BIG, overly shaped fingers that need something to hit hard when typing. If you're limp-wristed then look elsewhere these are not for you.I'm seriously considering redoing my ergodox plan thusly: Buy the 120g springs from Spirit's FaceW gb, and some blues from MK, and thus make super-greens to match these keys.
This is what the SA Profile brings you, Cadillac Sized Keys for Maximum Enjoyment .

Bro if you have extras I'll pitch in $10 for one in case you have any extra costs to cover from taking over etc.
You can throw it in with anything you might send my way.
BunnyLake -- after you've shipped everyone's sets, you should really list the Geek Hack key caps on your web site so that we can buy them. It would be a great way to make yourself whole and I know that the community would rally behind it.
If I'm not mistaken, you've lost money on pretty much every group buy. Giving us an easy way to repay all your hard work and everything you do for the entire GH community would be a welcomed opportunity.
Any pics?

Was mine in the first shipment TFR? :D
Are all packages being shipped from US or you'll be shipping some of it sir? Just super excited to know when mine will ship :D
My set arrived and looks like all keys are present and accounted for as long as the numpad 9 and 6 are actually the same key. My only small gripe is the tsangan 1.75x shift is the wrong profile. Other than that the set looks awesome and I am excited to use it.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/nALjMo5.jpg)

that sucks about that shift, that means i cant use it with the layout i wanted to use it with, would look too funky.
commando didn't have that issue and obviously given there is a caps lock key it couldn't be a manufacturer limitation. not bunny's fault though, i guess I should just be happy to get the set in general.
----
one thing i notice about this set that is very obvious compared to commando is that commando has texture on almost all the keys except just a few where it was not possible and it calm depths and others like prenumbra do not have any texture, all the keys are slick. I'm sure the lack of texture makes a difference for some people, maybe even me. never heard this brought up or any reason given why commando has texture and all other SA sets even the Filco-run SP SA set is slick all over.
the fact that there is a caps lock, also 1.75 key, is the correct profile (row 3 spans 3 rows in this setup) means the shift could have been the correct profile, obviously something happened

so the texturing is an option you can choose with sa
as for the shift key, im not sure what the deal is with that
i really cant use SA, so i didnt really use the set at all when i got it, what i did notice right away is a bunch of really odd things, keys that should be there that werent and keys that i cant imagine anyone wanting that were
i picked this buy up after production had finished, like all of you i was just someone who bought into it, i really have done my best to fix this up and get it into a usable set and we are now getting it out to people
the buy has already cost me a fair amount of personal money, and its gonna cost me more than i was given to ship this buy out
i think when calm started this buy he didnt realize it would get so big, on top of that, i think he was trying to take input form everyone and he just didnt have enough experience with both groupbuys as well as keyboard layouts, i dont think any of the errors with this set are intentional, and calm clearly put a ton of work into this, i think perhaps he just listened to and took advice from the wrong people during several stages of this gb
let me get these sets out, and in peoples hands, see what issues come up, if its just the 1.75 shift, ill get that fixed, ill just order them with whatever i next order from sp
again i wanna clarify, i think calm put a ton of work into this, some inexperience and bad advice have led to some issues, and im doing my best to work with what ive been left with, this was literally meant to take a few days of my time, the idea was to have it sent to us so we could quickly ship this over a couple of days, thats what i signed up for and took on, and its become a ton of work and is holding up other buys and projects we are working on, we are doing our best guys

Awwww, I didn't get the laminated paper showing the different keys that daniel apparently got. All I got were bags of keys in a generic cardboard box.

I have to ask - what's with the blank keys on the home row? Are those the deep dish gamer keys?
I thought bunny didn't officially start shipping these, yet?
They are the deep dish gamer keys. At the end of the ordering period, they were like 5-7 bucks for a set of 8. They do feel pretty deep compared to the regular flatter keys. Another user said he was using them because they reminded him of the home row on the Kinesis keyboards (I think, god it was a long time ago). So I went with his idea and got a set too. Feels really nice to anchor the fingers after typing words/sentences.

Yeah, I figured that's why they were the home row keys. I think I ordered a few for similar reasons. It's been too long ago for me to exactly remember why I ordered what I did :). It's just that with your photo, it was hard to tell if they were deep dish compared to the other keys. Thanks for the info.
Definitely looking forward to receiving my set.
I thought bunny didn't officially start shipping these, yet?
we just started to officially send them
Got mine! They look great. Now my only issue is figuring out which arrows are which because I'm an idiot.

Hi would like to know when shipping to Asia would start? Thanks!
I paid ~$35 for shipping & handling when I received the invoiced from CalmB4tehPwn, do I have to pay for shipping fee one more time Bunny?
Anything new from those Paypal apparatchiks?
not yet, i called them yesterday, and they just said no update as of yet and they would contact me as soon as they could, they said normally these matters are sorted within 7 days and its been 4 business days.
do you have a secondary paypal i could pay you to ship out my order before this is fixed up?
the shipping hasnt stopped because of lack of funds
taking over this group buy put stress on him and i think if he did this he could recoup some cash for the people that actually want to see these keys sooner rather then later. I am sorry its taking longer than expected but if people are willing to throw cash his way, why not especially since its taking longer because of paypal being a bag of crap...

Bunny will take extra payments for faster shipping, but the payments are at least a couple thousands dollars and they need to be routed through my paypal. Then I will forward the payment to Bunny. Let me know when you are ready to proceed.
I also know this Nigerian prince that would like to split his inheritance with you, but he will need your bank account numbers. Just send those to me, and I will forward them to the prince, who is a close friend of mine.

DAMN, it looks so nice in the Kmac mini, despite some saying that SA profiles are no good on smaller keyboards, how wrong they were. I'm typing in mine with the older Retro key-caps BUT these look so much better.
You also have the same colour case as mine, sweet aluminum silver.
I also noticed your main spacer key is a little short, is that normal?

the only thing i think i might change about this seutp would be if i could get the F keys on the left to match the row profile. i've thought about trying to get round4 blanks that would match.

I don't have that board personally, but at first glance it looks like you have a 7x spacebar, right? Have you tried a setup with 1.5 1 1.5 7 1.5 sized keys? I'm guessing that that might be causing the gap, and what looks like a gap on the left and right sides as well.
I'll have to check that out. I'm used to doing same size mods across the bottom, never occurred to me to stick a shorter one in the middle there. thanks for the tip!
Hey, I've been away for quite some time but I preordered this group buy a long time ago and never received my set. I've lost track of who is organizing this now. Who do I contact to find out what happened to my set?

Thanks for letting us know. Just in knowing, has that abysmal continent known as Australia been addressed yet?
If you have mentioned it before please forgive my lazy-arse attitude in not flicking back some web pages to see.
I'm in bed now but I'll check tomorrow, Australia will be sent from US and those are literally just going out in order, I'll shoot you a pm tomorrow to let you know roughly when it did or should go out

I received mine five weeks ago in a pretty little box, thank you Bunny !
The cyan letter aren't as flashy as on screen. For me it's a good surprise since it fits nicely with 7bit's SPH. So thank you too Calm, I hope you're fine.
Sorry no picture, I need to buy a new Li-ion battery for my Lumix. :(
How are the US orders? ~,~
I've got my little box yesterday. Thanks again Bunny & Crew! :cool:
Anyone have an extra ergodox set they'd like to get rid of ? ;)
However, I don't think we should ask Bunnylake to split orders, best to hold off until deliveries arrive.
Days, I meant days :-[ I'm not a time traveler, if I was I certainly tried to seduce Rachel McAdams.I received mine five weeks ago in a pretty little box, thank you Bunny !

5 weeks ago, time travel, they were only sent a week or 2 ago
so, how's going?
i sent pm to bunny, but there's no response.
heres korea.
Have read that Bunny's Paypal issues have now been sorted in a separate thread. Any word on shipping for rest of the world? Apologies if I missed any update posts.
damn that's unfortunate. i already have mine, but do you want some donation?
to be honest i dont really know, right now im funding it myself, im not sure whats best with this its been a bit of a nightmare start to finish
but in short, the US orders are making there way out slowly, eu orders are shipped, and we are working on ROW

Wow. I was hoping my eventual return would be to good news.
Wow. I was hoping my eventual return would be to good news. I'm sorry this has been a light for you, bunny. I really don't know what happened. Aside from the issues with my math that I brought up as soon as people paid, I didn't drop a decimal point or anything, so I don't know how we ended so very far off the mark, even after multiple cash raising events.
I'm sending you a PM.
This isn't yours to bear alone, here.
I hate doubling up on posts like this, but now that I'm done reading through the last month or so, I'd like to open up about this ride.
I love keyboards, but I am.still new, and with that comes excitement. I saw a lack of sa profiles, and as bunny said, I pushed hard and we were among the first to fill that gap. A large part of the crazy success on this gb was the fact that the color scheme was crowdsourced
Every one of you had the same attachment that I had. We were all partially responsible for the way it turned out and it was the set that spoke the the largest.percentage of us. So even those of us who didn't get the set they wanted, still felt an attachment. And people.definitely stepped up in joining this buy. It was too big of a project for me, nd I turned to people for advice on keysets and profiles and texture, and not all of that advice was sound. I don't blame anyone for bad advice, because that's not how I operate. We wouldn't have a keyset at all if I didn't get that help, but some mistakes were made because I'm just too fresh to the keyboard world and my excitement made this a quick process, not a patient.one. my eagerness to get it.produced caused errors and ultimately added to the need for patience from everyone else. I have learned an insane amount from setting up this group buy, a.d getting it through production. My errors held experiences for me, but I think for the foreseeable future, I'll be leaving this to the pros. Maybe one day I'll start over and head up a gb with a 30 man cap to ensure I don't get overwhelmed. And I'll definitely be waiting until I'm on my new house. But for now, bunny and hit team are.obviously the guys who should be doing keycap sets. They've got the process down to science.
Thank you everyone for supporting a newbie through trials and.errors, and being an environment where even after I made this long and.difficult, that I felt comfortable returning to.
I don't know how active I'll be in the future. I tried to get a taste of keyboards and bit off more than I can chew. I'll probably be scaling back to a nominal involvement.
I hope we can close out this gb and move on. I'm glad we came this far, but I'm definitely ready to push through this and put it behind us.

Thanks for the support, as always. Simply being out of the military and in an organization that legitimately values me and my input has taken so much stress off of me, my health has already begun to improve. It's been an insane ride for the last month, and I could not have been more fortunate. I've been hired into a position I don't actually meet the qualifications for, and that's insane considering how hard it is to get a job these days. I'll be around, and you'll see a nice small group buy from me at some point.

yea with all this group buy has been through I needed to source a set of caps sooner for my ergodox. So I ordered a new set of keys... but then I needed a reason to use this set, so i ordered a second ergodox.

That's the spirit!
I think I am partly responsible for some screw up. Sorry from my end too. I don't have much time to explain a a lot due to exams and RL, but I think some of my bad luck rubbed off onto Calm :(
FYI still waiting patiently for my keys to arrive in AUS.
don't encourage me, that v60 looks amazing
Thanks Bunny!

Bunny disregard my anxious cravings to have these in my immediate possession ::) . I will be willing to wait for another 8 weeks to see if they will arrive, hence don't send anything extra out from your collection because you never know I still might get my BIG package 8) .
Besides I paid for 4 complete sets with all the extras and I can't let those Postal goons lose them completely. With a little luck they still might be in transit or sitting in some warehouse waiting for delivery.
Hi Bunny, did you send the sets bound for Asia? Or is Raccoon sending them instead?
Bunny is from Britain, where they're all, like, refined, and quiet, and stuff.
who's raccoon?
asia soon?
it's about a year..
raccoon is a GH user called theflyingraccoon. He does the US shipping for CtrlAltStore, Bunny's GB service. I can't answer the other questions definitively, but I do know that the people involved here are not slacking and are working to get your order shipped. :) I'm also waiting, but these things take time. You'll get your caps soon enough! :D

You'll get your caps soon enough! :D
All I can add is that imagine if you were in Raccoon's shoes meaning you have got (don't know exactly how many orders) say 300 individual orders to sort and post. Hence how long would it take you to do it?
Once you start walking in their shoes all of a sudden it isn't easy anymore to do something like this when you get constant questions asking "where are my key-sets" being thrown at you every single day. Not only will the pressure start mounting but don't forget you are also doing the sorting and posting FOR FREE meaning no one is paying you to do all of this in the first place. Plus you still have to go to REAL work and also school, doing assignments, studying and sitting tests, shopping, paying bills and accomplish everything else as well.
That is why it's easy for the rest of us in comfort to start whining and complaining that we haven't seen our paid for key-sets have a little compassion, for the single person doing all this work on his own, with no help from anyone else out there.

And that's why trust is a very valuable commodity in GB circles. Also why I have said nothing. Me buying by proxy because I missed the original buying period makes it even more lame, since I haven't even paid anything yet. I'm just sitting tight and waiting for the US orders to get shipped out so the extensive forwarding process can start.
and not only that, he also manufactures the cables, if i'm not mistaken. that's a LOT of work to do, i really don't get why people get their panties in a bunch.It's a labor of love. Emphasis on labor.
Oh hey thread, has my **** shipped yet?
Oh hey thread, has my **** shipped yet?
At this point, about half of the orders have been shipped. They should be arriving shortly. Thank you everyone for being patient and I'm sorry for the wait!
Oh hey thread, has my **** shipped yet?

after putting in more effort to find an answer to your question than i feel it deserves, yes your **** has shipped
Oh hey thread, has my **** shipped yet?
I hate to ask again and again.
But I really want to know when or any schedule to deliver Asia orders?
Is this GB over than one year?
if you are one of the people who got a second package (they are starting to show up) please pm me so we can work something out about either getting them back to us or forwarding them along to somewhere else
its gonna be a bit of a logistical nightmare but im working on it
It will ultimately come down to personnel character if you decide to do what's right instead of stealing from someone that has done their best to deliver a Group BuyI'd just like to point out, that that's not even who you'd be stealing from. These were a limited run thing; if you conveniently "keep" the extra, you're stealing from a fellow GH'r like yourself who will now never get their caps because you "didn't see them".
I got my set of the blue and grey yesterday (in Virginia, which has a certain topical synchronicity). Beautiful. Typing on them now, on a Ducky Pro, and it's pure bliss.
Thanks so much to everyone who pitched in to make this GB a reality!
I want to pay for re-routing 5 of those 15 orders (maybe more if it's cheaper than I'm anticipating). Whatever additional costs may be incurred due to the error. I know that might not be a whole lot, but it would at least help take the burden off you guys. Let me know how much that amounts to, please.

I'm down to take another 5. Just let me know how best to do so Mr. Bunny.

I'd be honored if you'd allow me to pay for the last 5.
ok
to add to the colossal ball ache this has been, because these orders werent on our site, the US proxy sorta lost track of where he was in shipping, and has accidentally sent out 15 orders that were already sent
apart from the fact this is gonna cost a ton of money to fix, i understand its also an inconvenience for everyone who received a second set
if you are one of the people who got a second package (they are starting to show up) please pm me so we can work something out about either getting them back to us or forwarding them along to somewhere else
its gonna be a bit of a logistical nightmare but im working on it
on a side note, there are also about 50 other order which are about to show up to people that havent already got there order
so thumbs up for that
Ha, still waiting on mine in the US. Prob one of the 15 as well. Thanks for keeping this going everyone. Looking forward to my caps!
Hey on the bright side guys, we're coming up soon on our 1 year anniversary! :thumb:

if anyone still wanted to help cover the costs of the mistaken second sets, please contact me also

How to contact with raccoon? all of the news are updated by you, Bunny.
I want to make sure the shipping information.
If any help is needed with shipping these sets from or in the United States, I can help out. I have the time, dedication, and shipping know how to get the last of these shipments out to their buyer. I am confident that various members here can vouch for my integrity and reliability.
I'm tired of waiting and I am tired of other people having to wait. This is getting ridiculous.
So, do I read that correctly, that we're down to just those 15 folks who haven't gotten their set?

raccoon is back now we are working on it, we are now just working on getting the double shipments back from people so we can conclude shipping
this isnt late because of lack of effort, it was missing keys, and then we didnt have enough money to ship it, myself and calm together have now put enough money in to conclude shipping, and the person with the sets was out of town for a month
he is back now, and this will be going out, this has been a nightmare for me and im not getting anything out of it
if you would like to pay to ship the remaining orders yourself, you are welcome to
so i will finally get these soon? for reals?

yeah a ton of these went out this weekend
no refund
no response
no shipping
what is this?
still waiting on round 2 :P
Having said that, I wouldn't mind seeing this in, say DSA profile. Then my 40% for-the-laptop would be still small, and look cool, while my stainless steel ergodox would be color coordinated and stately to type upon.
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
so, can i have keycaps next month?I mean, you could read the post 3 up from yours.
really?
or, not?
i mean, you guys always said 'shipping soon'
and
it's not happened
i mean, you guys always said 'shipping soon'

you can get away with a lot of *****ing and moaning about groupbuys, but Bunny has to be the most transparent and responsive GB runner on the site and he LITERALLY laid out a timeline for this buy just above. you're not going to find any support from anyone here trying to dump on bunny just in general and especially not in this context.
i understood you well enough, and i got hosed on dolch dsa too. i just don't think it justifies giving bunny a hard time. this isn't even his GB. he took it over to help the community. i'm mostly just suggesting that perhaps you should show some more respect to bunny and his team. they're doing their best and being very transparent about it. which is more, in my experience, than can be said about a lot of group buys in the past.

Hi Bunny,
Could we have status table to review our orders are shipped or not?
Just like other GB did.
I think this can help and prevent asking for your feedback.

For those that have received their orders, would you be interested in selling your Calm Depths GEEK HACK key? :cool:

What area of the country does Raccoon live in? I've been travelling quite a bit and I'm wondering if I could stop by and help him finish this up. I already received mine, but just want to help if I can.
sent pm bunny
Hey Bunny,
Thanks for the heads up!
Just curious, and not to be rude, but why doesn't Raccoon stop here to give an update? Not trying to break balls, but some communication/transparency in where he stands would help those of us that haven't received our caps.
I know from experience, sometimes you have to commit yourself to a timeline to get a project done. Maybe a public announcement of who's owed what and shipping eta's would help to sort this out for good. We all want this over! :)
Thanks again for the communication, Bunny.
he just doesnt really come here anymore, his interests have changed since committing to this
i speak to him as regularly as i can and post constant updates when i do
i posted an eta about this, that i was given by raccoon, but he couldnt stick to it
i spoke with him sunday evening, and what we arranged was, instead of me having to chase him up all the time, that every sunday night, we will catch up with each other, we will go over whats been done that week, and make a plan for the following week, that is starting this sunday, so in 3 days time, the way we left it last we spoke was get as much done from the old schedule as he can this week, which included calm depths, ill find out on sunday whats been done etc, and make a plan for the following week, and update people accordingly
im doing all i can and being as communicative as possible on this, and will continue to do so
It's hard not to be angry at raccoon at this point not having this still. Sorry to say this but ugh it sucks.
Sorry
Bunny, could you let me know if I am on the list of duplicates that got shipped out? I still have not received mine and I live in Texas, just wondering now if I am even still on the list.
This is ridiculous. 14 months and no keys.
Thanks for trying to make this happen, Bunny; you've been the only reliable person in this, but it looks like a bunch of clowns started this mess and don't know how to finish it. I'm sorry you have to pick up the pieces of irresponsible and unmotivated people.
Keep my money. Goodbye Geekhack.

Well,
Unfortunately I'm finding it harder and harder to find my way back to GeekHack. I know all of this fell apart, and half the people in the GB are still waiting, and we've all put more into this financially than anticipated (myself and Bunny particularly), but being called out as a clown every time I log in to see how things are coming along really makes it hard to convince myself to log in.
I don't know how people still stand on this, as we get further along and people become more sour on the GB as a whole, but I'd like to apologize again. I set this up with only the best intentions, and the plan to complete it myself, but as things became close to time for the keys to ship to me, it was made clear that my life was about to change drastically. Thanks to Bunny and his team, and an absurd amount of financial support from Bunny himself (which still has my incalculable thanks) we were able to see a light at the end of the tunnel. There's no reason to demonize him, or his team, or their efforts. Ultimately, no matter how hard it is for me to hear this, the fault lies with me. I started the GB, and no matter what else happens, I'm the responsible party. If Racoon and Bunny hadn't stepped up, EVERYONE'S keysets would still be sitting in a SP warehouse. Progress has been made, and we've closed in on that finish line because Bunny and Racoon have tried to cover the hole left by my needing to step away from the GB. Don't be upset with them that they can't focus 100% of their efforts on this GB. Be upset that I had to step away and drop it in their lap in the first place.
I know this GB feels cursed, and I know nobody thinks it'll ever reach a finish, but if we just hold out we might just be surprised in the end.
Hopefully Racoon can just push through and get this behind us and I can start showing my face again without feeling like I'm the pariah here. I want so badly to be an active member of this community, but I just feel like "That guy who ****ed up the GB and left us all hanging"
It may not be my fault, but this group buy is my responsibility. I started it, and anything that resulted was due in course to that action. It's not your fault either, nor is it raccoon's for getting saddled with this mess. Ultimately, I got into a group buy before I knew enough about keyboards and keysets to know the finer details, and so details were lost causing major holdups and money sinks. Which is my responsibility.
I hate that the ctrl alt team is taking the brunt of the heat for this, when all you've done is try to salvage this mess.

we're nearly done, I'm pretty sure. Oh, and happy veteran's day, Calm.
ok guys, i got hold of raccoon
because of whats going on and the delays and such going on right now, im gonna pay to have the remaining sets sent to either cody(havent spoken to him yet) or if not me, so we can get this gb out and behind us, this wont be instant, but itll be a faster and a more reliable solution, im really sorry for these delays, but we cant sit and wait on this any longer, some action needs to be taken, and regrettably, i see this as the best option
raccoon is very sorry this has taken so long, he has both school and a job he is doing each day, and he is really struggling for time
I think all the organizers so far have been pretty good with keeping everyone in the loop. My order is still outstanding but even if I did get it, I wouldn't know where to put my keycaps...
What do people do with all the keycaps that they order?!?!?!?!

Bunny: I got one of the duplicate sets, and if you provide me the address of the intended recipient I'd be more than happy to just send it myself. I don't know if that's easier for you.
This is just a thought but what if we just organize some big friggin party on a weekend where we can get some members from surrounding states to drive in and have a big sort/pack/ship party? Those who don't or can't come can pitch in a few bucks.
That way this gets done in a fast, fun, community-building way. I'd be happy to help with organizing or finances or actually come.
hello
ok i finally got hold of raccoon
it had been a long time
everything is packed
he has told me his winter break starts next week, and he will ship it to myself and cody as soon as his break starts, we will turn everything round right away
id like to apologize for the delays, this has been totally out of my hands
Any good news?
im hoping to have a good news update in about 2 days, for this and everything else

I think raccoon's post office must be 1000 miles away and he has no car or shoes. This should be a life lesson to him; don't accept responsibility for other peoples property if you will not honor your commitment. Good intentions pave the road to hell.If you would bother looking above and going a bit back, you would see that racoon actually shipped them...
That said, please just go drop off the caps at the f'in post office will ya, raccoon?
I'd love to know if I still to expect to even see caps at this point. A list or something...
Don't take this personally bunny, you're the good guy.

in fairness, i forgot to update this thread but did all the others, so thank you for jumping in but sadly i missed it in this thread, here i just put that there was about to be some good news, but forgot to clarify it happened

sorry cody must have missed adding that kit in, ill get one sent out to you
thanks as always, i'm excited to finally see the whole set togetherI just got some keys from this set from grab bags, the colours look even better in person so I came here hoping to find info about spare sets. If there are any I'm interested!
it didn't sound like you had problems with missing keys but i do know there are plenty of calm depths (and other CTRL.ALT sets) keys in last years junk bags from SP in case some keys are missing, i doubt people threw them away.
I haven't gotten mine yet either, Bunny could you tell me when my set was shipped please?

Sorry to pop in like that, but if it can help: I got one off centered CAPS key here (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=69208.0), look in [FS][EU]SA keycaps then in SA Modifiers & Specials (third pic).
Bunny, I PMed you!

I still have not received my set as of today. :(
I still have an extra set that doesn't belong to me. I'll cover the shipping cost to get it to someone now that I'm working again.

I've PM'd codyeatworld about my order and he responded that he hadn't sent it out yet. He said he would get it out to me in the next day or two and PM me with tracking information. He hasn't sent me a message back and I've sent a couple to him asking about it...

Can someone update OP title to "Please claim any unreceived orders".
We have some extras here that will be put up for sale if they are not claimed soon. I'll give it another few weeks - month.
I think i got everything calm depths related on gb-support.

I still haven't got a reply back from Cody. Now it appears that their GB support website is no longer working.
I've been looking forward to getting my hands on this set for a long time. I hope my order hasn't been lost or forgotten...
round 2 please?
The link now is somehow for Dolch SA? I had it saved but it redirects to another set nowround 2 please?
If you can get a proxy/agent/friend, I know there's a GB for it on Taobao, with SP actually running the order. I don't recall if the GB is already live or when it'll go up, though.
