Granite Round 4 design update

[ideus]

It already has over three hundred orders, awesome. Where are the layouts for the sets?

[FLFisherman]

It already has over two hundred orders, awesome.

This may be the buy of the year.

[1deeg]

My first round. The MD order form is a pain if you want to get lots of extras. Anyway... 300$ later... Let's hope my accountant believes the "I need this for work" spiel.

So many people with accountants.. 

[Photekq]

RIP wallet once again. I think I need a proxy for this, otherwise I'll end up paying $100 in customs.

Didn't think you were a fan of DSA Photekq.

I've never tried it! If it weren't for Sindarin I don't think I would've bought anything from this GB.

I'm pretty sure the Massdrop counts 'kits sold' not orders. Still, off to a good start 

[romevi]

Is the Common Kit's space bar 6.25u?

[Zambumon]

Is the Common Kit's space bar 6.25u?

Yes

[romevi]

Is the Common Kit's space bar 6.25u?

Yes

That's what I thought but wanted to make sure before ordering one. I'll stick with just the one since it's PBT.
First Granite set = Common Kit + Elven Tongue + Icon Mods + RGB(YO) Icon Mods + Numpad + Bonus + 7u space bar.
Whew. 

[cryptokey]

Awesome, I'm in for base + text mods + pro mods + bonus pack RIP 

[thaddeus]

base + icon mods + text rgbyo + blank. Let's do it!

[Diokhan]

It's a shame that the elvish cant replace the base kit fully

[Zapheo]

Already put my order in, but thinking about putting in for more. Just to confirm, MD takes the funds once the drop ends, correct? Not when I place my order?

That's how it's worked in the past. I used to use the bitcoin option to make sure, but it looks like they no longer have that available.

Yeah, because the price might go down.

[Zapheo]

Cool. Thanks for the responses guys.

Yeah, because the price might go down.

Pretty sure the prices have hit rock-bottom by now.
Unless Md contacts SP to work out additional drop points.

[DAVYtm]

My order is at like $250 right now, need to cut some packs out...

Protip: cutting packs leads to camping in the classifieds.

That's why I decided to pick the Pro mods, homing and ISO, which cover my Spanish Ducky Mini and the Aria White Fox but you never know!

some kits might still go a bit down

[xondat]

Think my friend spent over $300 )

[VinnyCordeiro]

I really, really wanted to buy this set because of the Tengwar set. Not gonna happen if I have to buy 3-4 other sets just to complete my keyboard and end up with loads of useless keycaps.

And it is DSA, which I despise.

sigh

I hope everyone that buy this set will be satisfied. I will let it pass.

[vandread]

I did join the last drop (3rd Granite drop) and ordered lot of caps:

• RGB ICON (1x)
• ICON PRO MODS (1x)
• BONUS PACK TEXT (1x)
• EXTRA HOMING (2x)
• BONUS PACK ICON (1x)
• COMMIN KIT (2x)
• TEXT MODS (1x)
• GAMER KIT (1x)
• RGB TEXT (1x)
• ENTER+ESC (1x)
• NUMPAD (1x)
• ICON MODS (2x)

I love Granite and will ever love it! (: Due to some problems with the printing I had to send all my caps back and I am now waiting for the replacement... I was looking forward to order in this round the Secondary Legends kit, but sadly it does not match with the Poker 2... ):

Anyway... Thanks Matt3o for such a great set! I really hope this is not the last time we see the Granite set!

Welcome to GeekHack! 

[Glenmael]

Alright! jumped on quite a few kits

[cflee]

Any chance of adding the pipe/slash key to the elven set? Seems a bit silly to buy the base set for just one key and spacebar (and the function keys if you go full size), which you can buy separately anyway. Or is it supposed to go with the HHKB backspace ?

have to check with massdrop on that.

Matt3o, just to check, is the pipe/slash key still being considered for the Elven Tongue kit?

[Matt3o]

kits as set in... granite

but we'll have a price drop in few hours... and possibly another if the drop is super successful.

I might be able to buy a couple kits in that case

Would the price listing on the "Transactions" page simply change with the price drop? Doesn't look like it has yet. Here's to hoping

Or pay less customs T.T

Yes, the price will change in the transactions page and will update your order automatically before the drop closes and before you are charged the drop price.

Just keep in mind that if you paid with PayPal, your payment will be rejected at the end of the drop since the charge amount changed. It's not a huge deal since you'll be notified immediately and you'll have 24 hours to re-authorize payment with the new amount.

That's why MD doesn't charge you until the drop ends.

the payment is rejected only if the charged value is higher than the original.

So many orders! I'm thinking about picking up a second set. I sold the first one I had because I couldn't deal with DSA, but I just love the design so much I think I'll be disappointed if I don't get a set from the final round.

[Matt3o]

price drop!

[romevi]

price drop!

[BigDov]

Wow, this gb is going bonkers!!

thanks, after looking for one thousand lame WP themes I decided it was time to build my own

[Steezus]

Great read Matt3o, I'm debating now if I should pick up two sets of the Elven Tongue Kit.
