DSA Retro Set (SHIPPED!)

[Krogenar]

Here is my DAS 3 temporarily supporting my DSA sets from today until my Phantom arrives.

Nice mix of Commodore kit in there too!

Shipping Update:

I now have a box that will fit more keycaps for not much more money (at least to the US.)  I am shipping ONE of these today as a test.

Also, I am shipping the ENTIRE pile of New Zealand order as a test of Stamps.com-generated customs paperwork.

Both the US and NZ members should have received a shipment notice from Stamps.com about an hour ago.

If both leave the building without problem, I will ship more orders, probably country by country to keep me sane while generating Customs paperwork.

Also, it is possible that I can consolidate the '2 small boxes' orders into a single box for about the same shipping cost.  That seems safer, so I will investigate that as a possibility.

Just got my notification a few minutes ago. I guess it takes an hour or so for processing. I'm going to have to finish my ergo dox now so my keys have a place to live.

[The_Beast]

Hey, mine are out for delivery!


Too bad I'm not there to open them. I should have a nice surprise after finals. Phantom PCB, DSA Retro, Lysols Russian + Hangul, and a couple other things!

[boost]

Mine is out for delivery also

[tjcaustin]

Mine is not.

[Krogenar]

I received my "Errata" modifiers today, going to try them out when I get home.

[jdcarpe]

Mmmm, yummy Cranberry and Nutella set!

[tjcaustin]

Mmmm, yummy Cranberry and Nutella set!

But we'll probably never see ours because the box is too big.

[Krogenar]

Mmmm, yummy Cranberry and Nutella set!

Trying to give poor Matt a complex, are we? I heartily approve.

I just got mine when I got home (advantage of living in Memphis: Fedex also means fast USPS service).  It looks gorgeous on my caseless Phantom here.  I'm really having a blast typing on them.

Thanks so much for this excellent groupbuy.  I think you guys have spoiled me for the future.  Just excited to see what you offer up next.

Post pictures please. I'll just have to droll US guys get them before its my turn.

[salmo]

Sure (sorry for the phone quality):


Oh and yeah, I flipped the X and Z when I was messing with the stabilizer on my left shift, it has been fixed post-pic.

[Sai]

That is a Beauty.  )

no shipment notice yet, still have to wait longer ~~

[ishtob]

any extra sets?

[Hak Foo]

So jelly of this group buy.

All I want right now is a DSA set of Topre caps (never gonna f**kin happen, I know... but a guy can dream, right?)

The Hi-Pro they introduced is reminiscent of the SA profile caps.  If I recall, it's a spherical design with variable amgles per row.

[daerid]

True, but I want true DSA (the low profile ones). Unless I come into a metric ton of cash for a custom set, prolly not happenin

[ApocalypseMaow]

If anyone got a kit2 (coffee mods) I would like to talk to you.

[Matt3o]

I want to see a full brown + retro kit! c'mon who's the first?

[codyeatworld]

No notification yet. I guess my order did not fit in its box? I see people on the east coast receiving theirs 

Both the US and NZ members should have received a shipment notice from Stamps.com about an hour ago.

[noisyturtle]

Actually, they're not working. Sometimes they work, and sometimes they don't. You can still send mine Standard, but please don't lose mine, LOL!

Do you think you could "shave" a bit off the edge(s) to make them work? I mean, since you have replacements coming anyway...

For science!

Sure! After I get my replacements! The difference seems to be a little less than the thickness of one of the keycap walls, so if you shaved it equally on the sides it might work. The set still looks awesome, even with a different Shift and Enter key. Here's how it look son a G80-2100. I would need a 7-unit spacebar (any with an extra, let me know!) and there's no way I'm going to find the ba-donka-donk Enter key that would be needed, but it still looks and types great.

That right there is a thing of beauty.

Yeah... That's what I wanted to do, but I guess I didn't order kit2...

I don't think you've got kit2

[wasabah]

I wish I had ordered the numpad kit.
Where can I pick it up afterwards?

I'm on it, LOL.

Oh, and I got the 'errata' mods yesterday, and they work great -- perfect fit.

Should all US members have received a notification?  Or does it depend on that new box?

[megnin]

why the f did i not get a num pad, that looks great retro style, i could have just used it on an separate keypad.

oh well

go go retro power!

+1  Oh, putting this set on a tenkeyless and the num pad kit on a separate keypad it a GREAT idea.  Thanks, Glod.  I hope you are able to get a num pad kit from left overs or someone who got one and doesn't need it.

No notification yet. I guess my order did not fit in its box? I see people on the east coast receiving theirs 

You're in San Jose, you could have had yours Saturday

It seemed to me that it you ordered 2 Alpha or 2 TKL then it wasn't going to fit in a small.

***waits for box too small notification***

I know!!
I was planning on going, I was even ready to go actually, but things happened and I had to watch my daughter.

Yeah I ordered kit 1 and 3, I wouldof happily paid for a bigger box if I known.

[mashby]

Just got my shipping notification!

We are BROTHERS in this glorious event!

We want to see your keyboards in retro glory!

Were we supposed to get tracking numbers?

[samwisekoi]

Were we supposed to get tracking numbers?

If I've shipped your package, you got a tracking number from either Stamps.com or PayPal Shipping  .

Also, FYI, all US orders that did not fit into a small flat-rate box just left the building in a bigger box.  Also, all of the small flat-rate boxes for Australia left at the same time.  Finally, a couple of replacements for missing keycaps went out.

FYI,

[Krogenar]

I received two '6's for my numpad, Sam. No, wait, they're both '9's.

 

It's going to happen, just wait.

It had to be forklifted into a semi trailer.

Should have it air dropped by parachute to within a 5 mile radius.

Don't laugh! I got 2 "N's"!!!! WTF

Sadly, the Filco FKB22MB num pad has a 1x "0 Ins" and a 1x "00" instead of a single 2x "0 Ins" key and there is no "00" key in any of the kits.  I guess that's what the relegendable caps are for.

And, I need a Kit 7 for the 1x "Tab" and 1x "Backspace".

Are there any left over Kit 7s?

WTT: My "N" for your "Z" You pay shipping.

I didn't get anything.  Mine was a medium box so by my understanding that should have gone out with the first batch.
