Space bars: probably from WASD, if my plans to cut and glue a 7x space bar do not come to fruition.

Plastic: ABS (as are nearly all doubleshots).

Sorry elton, I would like to double my order. So it's going to be 2 sets on each color.
Do I need to submit another form again? Sorry about the trouble  ;)

I'm planning to cut and glue / cut and melt also, and likewise order from WASD if nothing else works.

You're a legend.

More legends in this thread than there are on my keys.

I'm also planning on ordering the spacebar from WASD.


Dunno how much the colors will actually match so I'll most likely get a white spacebar or sumfing

With the white legends, a white space bar would be the best match.

Or, while you are waiting, grab a WASD sampler kit (with or without switches) and you will see exactly what each of the colours looks like.  Hopefully someone will be able to post a comparison pic between WASD sampler and Tai Hao key caps when both are in the same place.

What does 2500 sets look like? I can't even imagine how much that is.

amazing price, I almost passed over the thread thinking the price was a typo!

I'm considering ordering one of each colour, but have a question please..

If I order one of each, will my postage be 20 dollars (for international to UK), or is there a possibility that coloured sets will be posted separately (and therefore be multiple shipping costs)? I have read the entire thread and a few posts led me to believe this may be the case so clarification would be much appreciated :)

From the pictures at the start of the thread, looks very much like 1.25x modifiers (with 7x space bar? - odd).

It has to be either with 1.5x or 1.25x mods. Since majority have standard keyboards, we will have to go with 1.25.

As for the shipping, it's only one time and not multiple times if we reach all MOQs.

@thechemist I'll add to your order :)

lol because of the really high MOQ.  Typically when you order something in larger quantity they give you better price per unit.  In our case a very large quantity lol.

Thought I would throw this out there, to encourage more orders (or more precisely, to raise the GB's profile) maybe someone could design a cool forum sig to promote the GB that we can all display (I am not so good with such things sadly).

Thought I would throw this out there, to encourage more orders (or more precisely, to raise the GB's profile) maybe someone could design a cool forum sig to promote the GB that we can all display (I am not so good with such things sadly). I know I am new to the forums and my post count is negligible, but others may help us get those numbers up  :cool:

I reckon this is a great idea! I've got no skills either but I'll happily stick it in my sig if someone designs it and everyone thinks it could help us meet MOQ!!

I can probably do something along these lines in a week or two (waiting on a new computer and backup laptop is dreadful/have exams) if it still seems like a good idea and no one else has done it?

Yeah, that is a good idea.  Unfortunately, I haven't touched photoshop in like 10 years.  If someone can do it, that will be great. :)

What do you want on it, text-wise?  Which photos can I use?  I can also try to put something together, but I'd also like to know the size limit for this site (something narrow and small enough), because I rarely see anyone here with non-word signatures.

signatures are limited to 777 x 70 pixels

Should be within that limit.  Nothing to obtrusive.  Use any photos you like, like the ones in OP or in the link or whatever you think is nice.

Text wise, probably note that it is $8 for a whole set.

Thanks :D

Okay, I'll work on it today, unless someone comes up with something sooner :)

I just saw this thread...why are the prices so freaking low?

lol because of the really high MOQ.  Typically when you order something in larger quantity they give you better price per unit.  In our case a very large quantity lol.


Well GMK has the same MOQ but their prices are nowhere as low as this

I had some free time so I gave it a shot.

Made one too--not as stylish!  Used the photos from this thread to be safe.  Words not final--basically a mockup.

Wow, nice!

SoUL's one is simple and elegant.  Perfect for a sig

Photoelectric's one looks good for putting up on the top of the OP for advertising. Something like the Rain Drop GB logo or something.

Elton

Are you just going to run these until you hit MOQ or are you going to let it go so long past like a week after or something??

As I said before, I'll run this for a month and see what the numbers are.  We are almost approaching the 2nd week of this GB. I'll probably set a deadline 2 weeks after the one month evaluation.

My apologies if the order sent twice, it timed out both times on the mobile!

Ok sorry I missed that. I'm just trying to decide if I want some of those but I'd rather wait a few week so that should work out fine! Thanks.

Add another red and yellow to my order. Hopefully shipping remains under USD 20.

Couldn't find a clear answer in the replies :confused: how much would each set be if I wanted 1.5x mods and a 7x spacebar? These look great though for the price :D
