[SSIPAK]

Can you offer 6u spacebars? I know SP can make them.

[SpAmRaY]

So many interesting group buys happening, I'll be keeping an eye on this.

Indeed!

Plus Bunny's announcement thread didn't really help to calm down my wallet

[jdcarpe]

Awesome, DSA. My wallet remains safe.

[taylordcraig]

Awesome, DSA. My wallet remains safe.

I am the opposite. 
Ordered one of each kit.

[Arcoril]

Man, I love the palette on this one! Is there any chance of getting a blank ErgoDox add-on kit?

[DanielT]

I'm broke otherwise DSA and this color combo......
GLWGB 

[Vaii]

Really digging the looks of this keyset, participated!

[LechnerDE]

Is there a reason why there is no stepped capslock key in the Tsangan Kit?

[BunnyLake]

Is there a reason why there is no stepped capslock key in the Tsangan Kit?

somebody else owns the tooling for it, and they dont let people use it to make a profit, or that is my understanding at least

I think he's talking about the non-centered one.  That's usually included in typical tsangans.

i was talking about off centre, when i have used it in the past, i have to get permission form someone outside of sp

I didn't know that.  That's odd. Every Tsangan I can think of came with an off-centered caps lock.

as i say, i could be wrong, but its a dsa specific thing, a  guy on otd owns it i believe

[yuiop]

I see. I hope something can be done about that. Not having an off centered caps lock is a deal breaker for a lot of people including myself.

[Kakkun]

Purchased!

[Hanni]

The lack of ISO pack could be another deal breaker.

Yeah if possible, we need to add an iso pack to help our EU friends out.

[LechnerDE]

Yeah, apparently an ISO set is possible for 8$ so why not add it?

At least it is an incentive for ISO users - it doesn't even matter if it reaches MOQ in the end...

[yuiop]

Would it be possible to add off-centered, non-stepped caps lock to the Tsangan? like the one that came with DSA dolch set.  I think SP has their own tooling for that, so no permission issue. But I could be wrong.

It's an incentive to wait till the end to see if it reaches the moq...same old story

[taylordcraig]

so few orders :<
go team go!
[will this be produced under the 50 mark?
I'd like to know if my money will be available or not.]

It will be produced if it reaches the MOQ of 25 (tipping point).  First price break is at 50 orders. 


Come on people, you know this set is going to look killer

Yes it will.  I may be able to swing up to 5 sets of each if MOQ is close but not met, but I can't swing any more than that.  I will be buying several sets to try and help this tip once we get a little closer.

[codyeatworld]

Interesting color scheme, I keep coming back to it. I really like the Harp legend.
I hope you don't mind, but I popped the colors into one of my mockups to get a better idea.

I'll place an order if I can, I'd like to see this happen.

I don't mind at all.  I tried getting Bunny to run one of the typewriter sets, but never heard back.  One of them would actually work great with GMK and I'd like to try it in the future.

[taylordcraig]

cody's mockup looks great
gets me excited that I ordered it

[-blind]

Hey man these caps look freaking amazing.  I was wondering are they double shot molded or dye-sublimated?

i would have been happy to do it for you sir, i havent got a pm from you about it that i didnt reply to

[pasph]

Ordered

[okwchin]

I understand that these should be doubleshot.

Closer to tipping!

What happens to the sets that are not even half way to tipping? Like tsangan.

[BunnyLake]

ok guys

this is someone who is actually part of our community, trying to run this set

these are the people we should be supporting, with such a huge influx of these buys right now, all competing for everyones attention, thinning the number of buyers and making it harder for every gb to be possible, as a community we should be supporting each other, ensuring that we can push through ideas from within our community

there is a day left, 6 orders are needed

please dont make me order 6 mx sets

the same for me? You know what i want

[nubbinator]

At this point the child deals are really hurting too.  I could probably swing 5 of the TKL, numpad, and 60% stripe kits and two of the main sets to help get them closer to the tipping point, but I won't be able to get them to tip on my own.

Thank you, that's a very good offer, but it would still be ~80$ for a TKL set after shipping and import taxes.

Simply too much considering I want Hyperfuse GMK, the unannounced GMK set, the leather wrist rests and probably all the other surprises you still have in your sleeve!

its my understanding nubs you only need to get the main set to tip, that way, everything else will get made no matter what number they are at, so you just need to get that base option to tip

[nubbinator]

On the child deals it has this:

If you purchase this deal you will only be charged the final group price, when the deal expires, and only if it reaches the tipping point (MOQ). - See more at: http://www.pimpmykeyboard.com/deals/royal-apollo-gt-10-numpad/#sthash.WP6BxLrM.dpuf

So I assumed that each has to hit MOQ.

[LechnerDE]

Yes, these are the official rules, but SP has been very accommodating in the past (see the Midnight Set for example).

So I guess Bunny is right. As long as the base set tips the child deals will be made!

[nubbinator]

In that case, I can probably swing 3-4 full sets (depending if I include Tsangan) to try and make it tip.  I'll just have no keyboard budget for the next couple of months if I do so.

[codyeatworld]

I haven't placed my order yet but I will soon.

I could create some more mockups if you think it'll help or anybody wants to see.

ill toss you the money for a base + 60% stripe via paypal for you to giveaway to someone of your choosing after it arrives, i dont really wanna order through the site myself because of the shipping and import charges etc, but happy to help YOU get there

Thanks man.  PM me if you don't have my Paypal info still.

[Spopepro]

I wasn't gonna--I'm kind of on DSA overload... but I've been talked into it. 

[pasph]

Come on!  There's some serious research behind this, try to imagine this on a gold GON.
And i don't want to compare this with someone else "efforts"...
