I PM'ed livingspeedbump again. Hoping to hear from him soon.

Probably a lot easier if you just PM'd me. Although Livingspeedbump is also awesome!

Yep, I have.

SA Dasher/Dancer is in the hands of MassDrop now!

Tentatively scheduled for a late summer run.

I will update this thread whenever I get new info from MassDrop.

Good point.  We probably still need to get used to the fact that the MassDrop keyboard team is here.

My first thought as well.  Especially since I'm going to pick up both sets.  Several good sets in various stages right now that I'd be tempted to pick up.

Odd, looks like Dasher isn't showing on the status page any longer.  They've quoted a few others that don't seem to be showing any longer as well.  Guess I'll just keep putting money aside for now.

From what I can tell, MassDrop and SP are busy getting all their ducks lined up. Sounds like both are inundated with keycap projects and it is taking some time to sort them all out. Keep the faith!

Yup, there's many sets that have at least gotten to the pricing from SP or GMK stage and I think at least a few are in queue with MassDrop already.  Right now, SP is saying August so we'll have to see what happens as there are still a lot of buys looking to push forward that haven't yet received pricing from SP.

Welcome to Geekhack!

Make sure you have some patience - most group buys run for several months, some lasting as long as six months.  A well run GB will have regular updates from the GB organiser.
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

In the case of SA Dasher/Dancer, the group buy will only last for 15 days, or whatever the standard duration is over on MassDrop. The good news is that nobody has missed out on it yet. The bad news is that the group buy won't go live on MassDrop until late summer, at the earliest. Lots of time to save up your pennies for it!

The kits are locked as far as I'm concerned. This set is out of my hands now. In order to expand the offerings at this stage, you'd have to convince MassDrop (Yanbo) to do so.

Honestly, as much as part of me is complaining at the delay, the saving pennies part is nice.  Especially with me seriously considering picking up a VE.A keyboard.  I'm just glad it's moving forward.  I'll have pennies set aside for this.

I'm not seeing any mention of it on SP's schedule, but I don't know if that is due to their web page not reporting far enough into the future to show us SA Dasher/Dancer, or if there is some other hold-up. I sent an e-mail to Yanbo yesterday asking for an update. Stay tuned.

Yeah looks like SP had trimmed their build list down from some of the sets that were originally there.  Hopefully we hear back soon from Yanbo.  He's been a helpful resource.

So I heard back from MassDrop.

The good news is that we're still in their pipeline.

The bad news is that their pipeline is more backed up than SP's (thanks to non-SP group buys like GMK Carbon), and at this point they're hoping to put SA Dasher/Dancer up by the end of the year.

I prefer to focus on the good news...  ;D

As a Mac user, I prefer to use CMD and OPT keys, so I was excited to see them in this set... but I understand that if most people feel like they're not wanted/necessary that it makes sense to cut them.

I'd love to see a decent Mac kit, too.

If it's one thing I've learned about custom keycap group buys it's that you have to be willing to wait a long time for these things. Patience is not merely a virtue, it is a survival trait.

YES, Group Buys are one of those, plant it and leave it to grow type of ventures.

They are the only sets I am interested in post-Round 6.

I think they would have been perfect to follow after Jukebox round 2 because the colors are so different. But not everyone appreciates the Dasher colorway to the extent we do.

I wish MD could get out some better information.  Always helpful to those needing to budget for these things, particularly when other surprises can pop up along the way.
