[GB] Ragnarok Red on Black 87/104 Keyset: Order Thread [Shipped]

[lightsout714]

You want it.

You know you want it.

Join us, damn it.

Lol I probably will. But if rd4 ends soon (lol) I have a set I prefer from there. But hopefully that lags and I just do both

[hazeluff]

Didn't realize there was so much money to be made in a group buy. Not saying you don't deserve it. Gotta see if I have the funds want to get in on this.

You mean the person running it? Or people reselling after the GB?

I agree.

[jonnybastard]

Order placed for 2x Rag sets, cheers!

[mkawa]

the hilarious thing is that they're running in series

lol

[tsangan]

What kind of font is going to be used?

good question, no Ariel please. SP has like 5 or 6 fonts that doesn't cost anything.

I'm an fan of the Wyse font but dunno what rag wants

[Marclgw]

Hey Rag, will there be an order count on your first post?

[balanar]

Rag, you got a tally count of each so far? Page 7 in 1 day looks pretty good.

I made it halfway through my pms before I got sidetracked with family stuff. Will post a list tomorrow.

I think he'll update it tomorrow.

I asked for an image of her font and she sent me this:
[ Attachment Invalid Or Does Not Exist ] 41059[/ATTACH]
She said it was from the pre computer era, I'm assuming typewriters. If this is WYSE great, because I don't have to figure it out with her but if not I will. I don't mind this font, but I'm curious as to what this WYSE **** is. Pics would be appreciated. I will update the list tomorrow, and Lightsoul714 not everyone is cut out to run a group buy, if you can do it well it can be worthwhile, but there have been more failures than successes and it requires a lot more time and effort than you generally imagine it does. Its a job, not a free check. This group buy is going to be a very small check too lol.

Anyways I'm out for the night, expect me to finish recording orders and responding to PMs tomorrow. Those wondering why their PM hasn't been replied to yet should probably just chill. This just started and it isn't going anywhere.

Edit: Lol after reading all the question PMs (Works great if you put "question" in the title somewhere so I know its a question and not an order) I still have 26 unread PMs after inputting like 11 orders earlier. Not bad for day 1.

So we're good with that I have then? Sweet. Yea those look good to me.

[demik]

Thumbs up from me!

[captain]

Diamond over win key!

+1

And +2 on the big, centered, WYSE font!  :-)

[demik]

No, not centered. Left hand corner.

[Ragnorock]

Yeah, it isn't going to be centered, it will look just like those keys.

[demik]

Rag, on the shift keys, will the arrow be on the left side as normal or on the right like in the mock up?

[Ragnorock]

Btw everyone, this is my current situation at the moment:
>12:36 AM
>7% battery life on the laptop
>Brought my BX8as home with me to see how loud they actually are when I don't have to worry about disturbing my neighbors.
>Dubstep playlist cranked
>Extremely runny nose and semi conscious state
>Staring at this group buy going lololol because 7bit was saying I would have trouble hitting 25 unless I offered ____ ____ and _____


Dubstep coma incoming. >.>

Edit: It will be on the normal side. I got lazy with the pshopping because its just a mockup.

Here is a picture of one of my Wyse sets, minus the front row.

[captain]

No, not centered. Left hand corner.

Ah. Right. I can't have everything my way. ;-P. What I'm seeing here, called WYSE, looks good.  I want that keyboard litster!  :-)

I asked for an image of her font and she sent me this:
(Attachment Link) 41059[/ATTACH]

I think that pic is showing two fonts... look at the numpad 4 on the 5th row and F4 on the first row and the big 4 on the third. Also, the bottom three rows are thinner (or maybe just darker) than the top three. The 4 towards the bottom looks like WYSE to me, but the ones towards the top don't.

Another vote for WYSE, btw.

[dorkvader]

So we're good with that I have then? Sweet. Yea those look good to me.

While I think WYSE looks really sharp (especially compared with ariel) I'm sort-of curious as to which other fonts SP has. Maybe there's another really good one?

Thanks for the pic, Demik. It wasn't showing up for me before.

I understand and have no issues with how your doing it. It looks like a ton of work and I always thought people should be getting compensated but wasn't sure how it worked out.

[hazeluff]

Either adding a small "tip" onto the shipping + handling. Or selling some extras at the end. Anyway Its not very profitable. But, I really like purdy keycaps and that's totally worth running the GB.

It sounds like Ragnarok has made some decent cash. Which is great because its incentive for people to keep getting us sweet keycaps. Its win win.

[alaricljs]

Decent is a matter of perspective.  He hasn't made enough for me to want to bother doing it myself

[Ragnorock]

Yeah the only real money is in selling leftovers, but with full keysets it is very expensive and risky to buy enough extras to make a significant profit. Even with single keys you can run out of buyers, I still have a couple zerg mod keys and about ten or so random keys that haven't sold. I'm too busy atm to list them elsewhere so there they sit in my drawer.

[lightsout714]

Do it like Ebay.

$1 key.

$18 shipping and handling.

For real lol.

Hey so whats an estimate for Sp to complete a GB like this.  I saw on the novelty GB it was estimated at 6 weeks.

[tsangan]

Usual turn around time is 5 weeks

[demik]

Should be the same

[Ragnorock]

Could be shorter now that holiday demand is done, I'm thinking a month or less since it is so standard. I don't get the real estimate until I put the order in though. I'm surprised at how many orders we have already, so if we get to like 75+ and it starts to stall out, I may get it going sooner so I can collect money and get the order in even faster than initially planned.

[lightsout714]

Thanks for the quick replies guys. I think I have given up hope on Rd.4

[delgo]

the Phantom kit should be compatible with the http://deskthority.net/wiki/File:Phantom_7BIT_002.png imo, the point of its layout is to get rid of the old fashioned long spacebar, right?

Or make a hybrid Phantom set compatible with either the layout posted in my pic and the more common layout with the long spacebar? Should't be too expensive I think..

That layout requires A LOT of 1.25 Row 4 modifiers, besides those, left shift, enter, backspace, function row are all different

The current add on key is targeted to winkeyless keyboards such as Phantom 1.5x modifiers, Dox, any winkeyless boards, and Cherry 1800 boards

[litster]

I gave Rag a hard time last time, but he has been very transparent on the process and money he makes.  Running a group buy is not easy work and involve risks.  I appreciate Ragnorock's effort to bring us some nice keycaps.

Yeah, quite happy for money to go to the people who do the work!

I thought that layout was being referred to as the 7bit layout and not the Phantom layout?

That is indeed 7bit's super wacky layout

First post updated and all PMs read and tallied. Questions have been responded to. If you do not see your name on the list, as I suspect some are still only posting in the thread, then be sure to send me a PM!

Already at 48 base set orders lol. ISO needs to step it up but we should have no problem at least getting to 15. I will have additional information on Tuesday when Melissa gets back in the office. ISO prices, and some revisions on Phantom. Turns out Tsangan realized that the Phantom add on is 11 keys and not 9, so we need to revise the pricing for them. Shouldn't make a significant difference in the price though, its just 2 1x keys. Here is his handy little mockup:

I'm not sure if this applies to all phantom buyers but it gives a good idea what the keys you will be getting are, aside from colors of course.

[korne]

I just posted the info on the biggest gaming comunity @ Spain more than 2000 users online usually.
Maybe if people show interest we will buy a nice pack.
