Double shot replacements ROUND THREE: Vote for Kits & Quantities!

[tjweir]

Umm... Canada consists of more than just Toronto and Montreal.  There's also this little place called Vancouver (ya know, the Olympics, the Canucks riot, etc) which hasn't received their keys yet.    But I'm still patiently waiting.

Vancowhat??  



I kid, I kid.

You should definitely check the front garden.

[pipedream]

Have the order(s) to Sweden shipped yet?

[Exoverture]

My order #134 is still not here

I think it's been shipped since Monday last week. Hopefully it gets here soon.

[shugix]

I'm in Toronto and still haven't received my keys. Waiting is painful.

We can start a support group together.  I'll print all the pictures and we can pretend we have the keys.

Invoice #251 revived on Tuesday in Toronto Canada. Hold out fellow Canadians they are on their way!!

Everything I ordered was there, but I have an extra red F nub key.

Dammit Oxblood, gimmie my keys!

[Kairxa]

While I thank iMav for his hard works.. But I'm still curious with my order. Any updates for #031?

Just checked, nada.

You're in BC too?  We might get it the same day then.

I'm actually typing on the Round 1 doubleshots so I'm not in as bad/desperate situation as you guys.  The Round 3 doubleshots (as well as clear keyset) are for my backup Filco tenkeyless board.

[Exoverture]

Yeah, not quite Vancouver, more so the suburbs, but still.

Wishing my damn keys would come

[jfaulken]

I'll jump on the bandwagon: I'm order #073 and I haven't gotten any update in months.  I live in TX, US so I'm not on the long shipping list.  Help!

All these are in route.

EVERYTHING I have been told to ship has shipped.

[litster]

Sweeeeeet!  If I don't receive mine in a week, I can blame 7bit!  haha!  Actually, if I don't get it by Saturday, I won't get it for another week due to vacation.

[zaerst]

What's the word on people who had missing keys?

[7bit]

What's the word on people who had missing keys?

 
All missing keys (which are available) will be sent out on Monday, along with the last shipments.

[Roasty]

so... shipped / not shipped?

7bit, any chance #192 has shipped?

[Kelsin]

I'm assuming #220 is in this last shipment going out on Monday? Can that be confirmed?

[7bit]

Yep.  All pepople who paid for their keys will get them (hopefully) within this or the next week depending on how quick mail-service and customs are.

Is this for real?

[shugix]

Got them!

[tarc]

Received and installed!

The noppoo keys are now visible, very sleek.
Will post some pics.

Some blank keys and a red escape is missing.

A big thanks to Mr. 7Bit and Mr. Imav.

[tjweir]

Received!

[NOMiS]

Where can I check if my stuff was shipped? I'm order #277 I think.

[Exoverture]

SWEET ZOMBIE JESUS!

My girlfriend just texted me that the keys arrived at her house, she was at work all day (got them shipped there since I was moving).

WOO! Tomorrow will be christmas. Filco wrist wrest + keys on the same day, whoda thought.

EDIT: ARGH! Looks like my spacebar arrived damaged !!!!

[digitalleftovers]

In reference to the discussion about the inclusion of a floppy disk key in round 4 (a real floppy, no a 3.5), I just noticed that there is a wingding for one that is quite nice.
Also, we totally should have used the tape reel wingding. (see top right)

Does anyone located in Europe/Germany receive his  order? I'm still waiting. I hope my order isn't stuck in the customs -__-

[CeeSA]

7bit got his order...

i am still waiting.

I have not received mine yet in the UK, shouldn't be long now I suppose.

[HungryPillow]

Still waiting as well... #023

[nathanscribe]

I'm hoping so.  I don't think I've seen a UK recipient yet, but I haven't been checking that hard.

[Twitchy]

Still nothing here. I think someone in the UK has received their standard set but I'm guessing that you guys ordered blanks too?

[Exoverture]

The keys feel extremely nice, and the lower profile is nice compared to the Filco's, I always felt like they were a tad bit too high for some reason. These feel perfect, especially with the Filco wrist rest in combination.

The holes for the stabilizer caps weren't very flush at all, they were infact very very lose compared to the Filco keycaps. It was a tad disappointing, and took a lot longer than necessary to install the stabilizers with the new keys because of them keep calling out all the time.

Other than that, it's pretty perfect. My left shift key (main shift for me), feels a bit clunky, maybe a bit more so than my Filco ones... it sounds like it has a lot of chatter once pressed compared to the other stabilizer keys... any suggestions? It did this with the Filco keys as well, but it may sound a bit more enhanced with the new keys. Would some lube fix this? It's hard to explain, it just doesn't sound nice when depressed, and feels a bit clunky (it's installed correctly though).

Like, my return/enter key feels the best, and the rest of the stabilizer keys minus space bar sound a bit clunky and they aren't fast to come back up when depressed on the sides. Lube?

[noodles256]

i agree with stabalizer comment. mine kept falling out

Put some piece of a plastik bag between stabilizer mount and key cap. I think you stbilizers are a bit loose.

Like 7bit said, put a small piece of plastic bag or saran wrap into the cross-shaped hole and then put the white plastic piece that holds the wire stabilizers into it and it should be more snug.  The original fix was to use a piece of scotch tape (which I did with my GB1 keys) but it's a tad too thick and sticky.  A piece of thin plastic bag or saran wrap would work better since you could layer it if it isn't thick enough and it does not leave a sticky mess.  

As for lube, my Filco already had some white lube anywhere the plastic meets the wire stabilizer and I managed to keep enough on the wire that I did not have to add any to my GB1 double-shots.  If yours are dry, then it may slow down the key rebound.  Maybe try some white lithium grease.  BTW, I'm still waiting for mine to show up, are you in the lower mainland or farther inland?  Fingers crossed for Monday.

[Exoverture]

There was actually two separate problems in my post.

The loose stabilizers were fine, I got them to work for the most part, and will try the plastic bag/tape method if it bothers me in the future.

However, my shift key has felt clunky since before these keys, even compared to other keys with stabilizers. I took out the white caps and put the key on by itself (stabilizer not being used then) and it feels SO much better. There's no clunk/cheap feeling to the keyboard anymore on my shift key. Any repercussions by doing this?

So basically, the problem lies in the bar I'm guessing, it sounds very, very clunky, they all do but none are terribly bad except my left shift key which I use a lot. I wish it could sound/feel like it does without the stabilizer being used, with it being used lol. A bit confusing I know. I was wondering if it was acting like this because of lack of lube, it seems like there's a lot of friction and noise. It feels and sounds a million times better without the stabilizer being used.

These are all out of my hands (and in the hands of the postal service).

[guilleguillaume]

iMav can you tell me if the Invoice #139 has been shipped yet?

[Culinia]

Also, could you please tell me if #12 has shipped? Thanks.

[7bit]

All orders shipped. Its just that the customs like to play with your keys at lunch time.

Imagine them touching your keys with their butter fingers and laughing about those idiot guys who order 'key caps'!

[NormaJean]

^^^

That's pretty funny

I'll be bleahcing my order once it gets here... thanks for the kind advice

[Culinia]

I prefer to think of the guys who, after putting the key caps in the dishwater, laugh at the fact that they have not paid customs duty :bounce:

PS: Thanks 7bit

[myndzi]

More people have keys now, I'm repeating my appeal for blank black "oddball" keys for the right half of the keyboard... anyone have some spares they won't use?
