Only 10 people left to pay and the deadline is August 10th. Want to get these ordered soon.

danielucf · « **Reply #51 on:** Tue, 07 August 2012, 23:08:16 »

Keys are in production, 9 more to pay up.

Also there will be extras, maybe more than I'd like if people don't pay.

xcrx · « **Reply #52 on:** Wed, 08 August 2012, 06:00:35 »

I have never taken part in a group buy before. How long does production usually take?

It really depends on what you order, and who it is from. I'm the first to do this big of a group buy from QWERKeys so I really have no idea on production. Hopefully they are done in a week or two and I get them a couple days after that to ship out to everyone else.

Cool! Thanks for the heads up.

Is it possible for me to grab one if there are any leftovers?

danielucf · « **Reply #56 on:** Wed, 08 August 2012, 22:02:42 »

There will be left overs, just need to wait and see how many and if I have to do any double shipments due to loss in the mail.

Casai · « **Reply #57 on:** Thu, 09 August 2012, 05:30:47 »

I would also love to order a leftover. I guess I'll keep checking this thread for updates.

I'll probably do the left overs in the classifieds section.

Casai · « **Reply #59 on:** Thu, 09 August 2012, 15:40:24 »

Roger that, I'll look there. Thanks!

danielucf · « **Reply #60 on:** Thu, 09 August 2012, 21:14:36 »

6 more to pay, sent PMs out to those left.

DaClownie · « **Reply #61 on:** Thu, 09 August 2012, 23:19:12 »

Any chance of still getting in on this? If so I'll take 2

danielucf · « **Reply #62 on:** Fri, 10 August 2012, 16:53:50 »

Only 4 orders totaling 10 keys unpaid. Not too bad by payment deadline and one of those orders may trickle in any day. The remaining three I have not heard back from yet but am still not sure when the keys will get to me from the UK, or when Hoggy will get his keys for the Europe orders.
Going to start getting shipping labels ready so as soon as the keys arrive I can get them out ASAP.

longweight · « **Reply #63 on:** Fri, 10 August 2012, 17:19:51 »

I will take two of the unpaid caps if it comes to it

Same. Help fill the gap and all

danielucf · « **Reply #65 on:** Sat, 11 August 2012, 02:22:24 »

If people still want to get in on this group buy just send me a PM with your paypal email, name, and shipping address then I will send you an invoice. I'll still charge group buy price because I don't have the keys yet and I wouldn't want someone charging me more just because I was a little late to the party.

hi is there a eta on this?

placebo guy · « **Reply #67 on:** Sun, 19 August 2012, 13:48:17 »

Any updates?

danielucf · « **Reply #68 on:** Sun, 19 August 2012, 23:34:47 »

Sleabo has the money now and I believe he said that in the next week or so he hopes to get the keys. After that we have to hope that customs doesn't rape me on taxes, I'm a little worried because of another group buy that taxes torpedoed the profit that was going to go to donation.

danielucf · « **Reply #69 on:** Mon, 27 August 2012, 20:17:23 »

Keys are finished and should be getting to myself and hoggy any day now.

cliffooord · « **Reply #70 on:** Mon, 27 August 2012, 22:21:43 »

niice!

DarkShot · « **Reply #71 on:** Wed, 29 August 2012, 01:55:16 »

Any open spots?

I wouldn't mind grabbing one if they are!

damorgue · « **Reply #72 on:** Wed, 29 August 2012, 02:04:53 »

They are available on QWERkeys if they won't let you in on this:

danielucf · « **Reply #73 on:** Wed, 29 August 2012, 03:56:03 »

I'm going to sell left overs after this that will most likely still be cheaper than the QWERKeys price considering conversion to pounds, and shipping over seas.

DarkShot · « **Reply #74 on:** Wed, 29 August 2012, 04:25:44 »

Great.

Sounds like I'll hold out and wait 'till then.

bnitch · « **Reply #75 on:** Wed, 29 August 2012, 13:36:42 »

I'll take 2 if any left over.

danielucf · « **Reply #76 on:** Thu, 30 August 2012, 16:43:01 »

hoggy got his bulk of keys for European shipping first because he is in the UK and QWERKeys is in the UK. I expect to get my bulk of keys this week or next week and start shipping right away. A couple days after everything is shipped I will start a left overs sale.

DarkShot · « **Reply #77 on:** Thu, 30 August 2012, 16:45:59 »

Sounds good.

If you could reserve a key for me after all the orders are filled that'd be awesome.

danielucf · « **Reply #78 on:** Thu, 30 August 2012, 17:00:23 »

With how many orders were placed I imagine there will not be many fighting over what remains.

DarkShot · « **Reply #79 on:** Thu, 30 August 2012, 17:17:50 »

Awesome. Nice to know that those who were late (like myself) would be able to grab a key.

hoggy · « **Reply #80 on:** Sat, 01 September 2012, 14:07:50 »

Shipped almost all of the UK/European orders this morning.

kaen · « **Reply #81 on:** Thu, 06 September 2012, 05:42:10 »

Got mine yesterday, look amazing. Thanks!!

My batch of the keys just arrived so I'll spend tonight getting everything packaged and hopefully shipped tomorrow.

poco · « **Reply #84 on:** Thu, 06 September 2012, 16:41:10 »

Are there any extras of these up for sale?

danielucf · « **Reply #85 on:** Thu, 06 September 2012, 16:57:38 »

Yea I'll open the extras thread later tonight probably.

I'll ship the key I owe you asap as well.

cant wait for mine

danielucf · « **Reply #89 on:** Thu, 06 September 2012, 22:51:52 »

I may have overestimated the speed at which I can pay and pack for shipping. I'll probably get all the domestic stuff done tonight, and the non European shipping done by Saturday for dropping off at the post office Monday. International stuff takes even longer since you have to fill out a customs form by hand.

lime · « **Reply #90 on:** Fri, 07 September 2012, 08:05:34 »

my keys arrived today, thanks

danielucf · « **Reply #91 on:** Sat, 08 September 2012, 22:01:07 »

Dropped off all the US orders at the post office. Will crank out the remaining 19 international orders throughout the week, these are a major pain in the ass to do over regular orders that can be printed through PayPal. Have to do them all by hand

Extras will go a little at a time as well. Hoping to have everything done being shipped by Friday 9/14.

Ragnar · « **Reply #92 on:** Sun, 09 September 2012, 16:53:22 »

Tracking says I should get mine tomorrow. I am looking forward to getting them. Thank you!

bnitch · « **Reply #93 on:** Sun, 09 September 2012, 18:13:21 »

I'm still hoping for 2 of the extras. Anything I have to do?

sweet. got mine today. i pushed it in my Esc and it got stuck. it broke my keycap puller.. sigh. but yeah.

side note: not sure if this is normal but the key is not centered into the Esc hole. its shifted to the left. is it my pcb or is it the key. (thats why i tried taking it out again but i broke my puller)

edit: does anyone know how to get it out LOL

danielucf · « **Reply #96 on:** Mon, 10 September 2012, 19:30:00 »

Something crafty with paper clips or small screw drivers? Hard to say without pictures. I've put it on and off my FC700R a couple times without issue, I can tinker with my KBT Pure and SS7G when I get home.

rowdy · « **Reply #97 on:** Mon, 10 September 2012, 20:05:12 »

Perhaps insert a thin flat blade screwdriver just under the key cap, and while holding the cap steady so it does not tilt or twist, gently rotate the screwdriver from side to side to ease the cap off. Important to not let the cap tilt or it might damage the stem.

ryan92084 · « **Reply #98 on:** Mon, 10 September 2012, 20:06:30 »

Mine arrived today. It's quite a hefty cap and looks great.

DaClownie · « **Reply #99 on:** Tue, 11 September 2012, 12:32:48 »

Mine is my new escape key and it looks great. Going to use the spare one on my work computer's keyboard
