The basic $80 kit covers standard TKL boards and winkeyless boards, correct?
I'm surprised how many keys get bundled into $80.00USD :o .

Yes, but with addons, this one gets very expensive very fast. (And thanx, Matt3o for the stepped caps - didn't see them in the IC layouts.)
Matt3o, are the 3 1.75x Key (Return/Fn/Stepped Ctrl) in the Pro Mods kit center-stemmed or off center?
awesome ... ive been waiting to get my hands on that set ..
what addional sets/keys would i need for the kinesis advantage ?
are there any 1.25 caps includet ?
thanks alot ..
there are 8x (23 mm width) 1.25 .. with 1.5 id need to dremel around .. not a huge problem .. but still id be great if i could avoid it .. right now is the time to think about the advantage as well .. (there is a current massdrop)

Absolutely top notch job on the design and kits, Matt3o! It's looking awesome! The only thing I have to decide now is... one set or two? For the real classics I tend to get two (one for posterity and one for use) and this definitely qualifies, but my wallet is thin this month... I know I'll probably just get two anyway, though. ;)
this could be the 18th kit... keep ordering if you want it to become a reality!Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/i3ak61B.png)Absolutely top notch job on the design and kits, Matt3o! It's looking awesome!

...Some of the kits that have been asked in the IC phase need really a lot of love (such as the intl kits, dvorak, apple, ...).
In base kit, the "shift"s are R3 and in Mods "shift"s are R4?

Hopefully the combined layout package will up the chances for it to tip. Even though all I need is the colemak caps, I'm very pleased with your decision of a combined kit.
Will you provide status here whether kit got the love it deserves or not?
I really don't need more caps but these are so tempting. :thumb:
Is there any possibility of getting a 4.5 unit space added to either the small space kit or on it's own?
Can't decide if I want the brown or red modifiers.
Think I'll go brown with the lime kit for a bit of color :thumb:

Very nice!
You must do the the PETSCII kit! That would make this the ultimate C64 set. I WILL order that.
In your mockup, I think that your � has an incorrect glyph:Show Image(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9d/Commodore64.jpg)
The rest look correct. If I were to nitpick, perhaps the quarter circles on your U, I, J, K should be a bit smaller. They should line up with the middle of each side.
Perhaps a "RESTORE" key for that set? In either 2.0u (in place of backspace) or (my preference) 1.5u (in place of PIPE) and having it in the original location? Who doesn't remember hitting RUN STOP + RESTORE?!
I have not ordered yet. You need moar orders, I will happily get on that ASAP to help show support for this set (with or without PETSCII I'm getting it). But, can I then go back later and add the PETSCII kit to my order (and not pay double shipping?)
Just a noob question. Usually the function row are R3, if it's R1 isnt it hard to replacement caps? Even SP is selling R3 for function key row.
Is the R4 Control key meant to be R3 in the Pro Mods set? Or.. if not, is there an option for switching Shift Lock for Control in this set?
Also - is the 7u spacebar R3 or R4?

there should have been both, that is an error by my part. I'll do my best to include the R3 control.
All spacebars are R3.
Wickedly sick profile caps Matt3o, much love!
Are these key caps ABS material double-shot legend printing or will CTRL-ALT-io be running this batch in PBT? Do you have a quantity expected to be produced? Thanks and please keep the runs coming.
This is such a great set Matt3o. Trying to optimize my purchase without overbuying, but I fear I'm just going to have to order both base sets. Not complaining, but I wish there was a way to get the burgundy mods by themselves.
Since I'll be rocking these on a 60%, there's no way to get a secondary color without the burgundy mods. Again, not complaining, just thinking out loud as it were and wishing I had more money so I could just buy one of everything. :p
Matt3o, in the Pro Mods kit, there are R4 1.75U Shift and R4 1.75U Control keys. If that Control key is meant to replace Caps Lock, shouldn't it be R3 like the stepped R3 1.75U Ctrl?
From my perception, it seems like the IC to GB turnover rate is about 50%, is that your experience?

I think the filco minila uses a 1.75 ctrl key. Maybe for that?

Same here, this was the first Matt3o Key-set released on Geekhack at a time when boring key-set designs was quite common.
His colour-way was almost too delicious to ignore but it's relation to the past A64 PC is simply great. The SA profile makes it more perfect than his first edition on DSA, he always goes the extra mile when it comes to designing each key.
Trust me, when this key-set passes into history you'll have desperate people pleading to us, to sell our stash of these fine pieces of Art. Matt3o is the Renaissance Artist in Key-sets today so do not ever miss out on a prime opportunity to acquire some unique pieces of art in the form of ABS plastic :thumb: .
I am placing a *huge* order right now, but I wish more GHers were Vim fans. The lime set would be perfect with hjkl keys added to it. I love the set though, Matt3o, thank you!
Finally!!!!! Now to decide what I want.
Finally!!!!! Now to decide what I want.

totally agreed.But, it sounds like you worship Matt3o :LoL:
thanks Elrick, I'm flattered... but there are so many good sets around. One thing I can tell you, I design what I like and I don't care if people don't :)
just curious, is SP able to make SA Row4 Shift key now?

I will have the opportunity to try out SA 1 or 2 days after the group buy ends, I'd like to use this opportunity to make up my mind on this set.
I've made an order but haven't paid it. Could I pay it (or cancel my order) slightly after the GB ends on the Ctrl.Alt.io site? If so who should I contact about it? Bunny or Matt3o ?

The first two things I thought after getting Hack'd by Geeks installed was, "I love this, but I wish the function row was R1", and "Wow, Retro DSA would be amazing in this profile".
What I'm saying, Matt3o, is you complete me.
I still waiting for some stats from Bunny. At the moment we are not seeing huge numbers anyway.
Hi Bunny and matt3o, I have placed the order through ctrlalt site. When I checked my order, there are three of them where one says "Paid" (which I did) and the other two says "Unpaid" which I believe caused by me adding them into the cart.
How does the cancellation goes? I wish to keep the "Paid" one and remove the two "Unpaid" orders or perhaps I just leave it there?
Thanks and I can't believe the SA Retro is happening right now!! =p
If a bonus pack happens I'd love to see a 75% support:
either pg up & pg down on r3 r4
or home & end on r3 r4 since we got them in R1 R2 in the main set.
It is very likely that we will be adding a bonus pack with side printed legends! That would make this set absolutely gorgeous!
It would be instant buy for me with Topre sliders. :)

(kidding! I'm just kidding! I'm forever grateful to bunnylake for making this possible)
On a side note. The set so far sold around 85 base sets. It's nice but definitely not enough, especially most of the side kits haven't reach the MOQ yet. We definitely need more orders...

Quick update.
SA Retro is going well and we are not overly worried, but we are still far from the target. Especially true retro needs more love. I'm sure the new bonus pack will help pushing the true retro but anyway as of now we still miss:
50-60 True retro base kits
20-30 Burgundy base kits
also both Numpad kits need more love.

I get that it's not going to fail to be made, but as one of the lead proponents of adding the Colemak kit, I want to make sure that you're not stuck with the bill if it falls short. I'd like to see more Colemak support in the future, so I really want to see this kit succeed.
oh wow, that's sexy!
you are a wizard sir, love your work
Excuse my ignorance but what keyboards do the 3u and 4u spacebars work with?
Also, any Planck support? Looks like there is some support unofficially.

I just wanted to double check -- the "true retro" main package should have all the keys needed for a WASD V2, right?
Thanks!

unless it has some crazy spacebar spacing (which i dont think it does) then yeah it contains everything you need
I think there is an error on the mockups on the ctrlalt.io site. There is only a stepped R3 control key, the non-stepped control says that it is R4 :S

I might had missed the DSA set, but I'm sure as hell not missing this SA set. Just ordered up a few days ago. Hopefully we can get the tipping point so that I can add the PETSCII set as well.Bunny said there's no tipping point. Currently trying to figure out if there are 25 people willing to purchase the PETSCII set. That brings us to 5 if my count is correct. Come on, that's close enough! ;)

This set is an insta-classic! If anyone misses out on this one, they're going to regret it when the pics start rolling in!
Having a hard time deciding between True Retro and Retro Burgundy.
I'll be going in on the True Retro when a decision on the PETSCII has been made :)
I'm prepping my wallet for destruction! Thanks guys :DI'll be going in on the True Retro when a decision on the PETSCII has been made :)
its gonna be added shortly
Really the only thing keeping me from getting both is not wanting to be left with the extra keys from the set I only use the modifiers from. I think I will just get true though.Having a hard time deciding between True Retro and Retro Burgundy.
true retro could use a little boost, so if you are sat on the fence and your decision is a coin flip, that would help out the most
hey guys
the add on kit should be up some time later today
ive had food poisoning or some awful bug the last few days, so i been running a bit behind, but its definitely happening, itll be up soon, and we will also shoot an email to anyone with a current order to let them know when its live

if you already have an order and wish to add it, simply place an order, leave it unpaid and email me using the contact form on the site, including the new and old order number, and a paypal email, and i can invoice you for the kit minus postage

Hi Bunny,
About PETSCII , what is the processing of side print? laser or molding?
PETSCII makes it worth it. Is it possible to cover a fullsize board using PETSCII for the alphas and other kits to fill the rest out. I'm not sure profile would allow for it.
Did this GB just get extended another week? It now says 13 days left.
it is indeed extended.Hi Bunny,
About PETSCII , what is the processing of side print? laser or molding?
pad printed (SP can offer only that).
Sorry to be a noob but what is the longevity like with pad printing on the front of the caps? I'm guessing it's ages because they never get touched?
the race is not mine, the picture is taken from keypuller.com
The row profile actually works very well on a race, but I'm not sure you have all the needed keys! (please double check, the race has very weird sized keys)

have you ever seen a commodore 64 (even after 30 years) with faded out side printed legends? :D That's your answer
My bad, mixed up the names (Race 2 84... lol)I ordered this one (Kailh Red Switches)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/iIZItRn.png)
That's not a KBT Race II, it's a Keycool 84.
The profile of PgUp, PgDn and End won't match correctly, but they should be usable.
the arrow keys seem 1.25 (maybe 1.5?) as well as END.
I can't imagine how anyone could resist the PETSCII set. Of course, I'm obsessed, so what do I know...
Matt3o, I meant instead of getting the base set and PETSCII, would it be possible to kit out a board with correctly profiled caps. From PETSCII and other kits I looked more into it and you are right. It is doable, but I'll probably just get PETSCII as a second alpha set regardless.
I can't imagine how anyone could resist the PETSCII set. Of course, I'm obsessed, so what do I know...
I want it, I just also want everything else so I have to make a sacrifice on something. I have cut my projected order down to True Retro, PETSCII, Lime, and Alternate Functions. That is still like 200$ so I am thinking about not getting the Alt functions and Lime. I originally wanted both base sets and the PETSCII and Lime and Alt Functions but I came to realize that I had to use some of my paycheck for food and gas. If I could combine shipping on this order with my JTK Debut order I could save a little more money but I want my sets as soon as I can get them and combining a shipment could make me wait longer.
Pardon me but what's the significance for the PETSCII? Since this is a throwback to the commodore what would make me want in on that particular add-on set for historical goodness?

Now I can see the dilemma between true retro and burgundy being more difficult.
I'd love to see just a R1 Vim key...
I'm leaning towards True Retro, but I can't asses whether Burgundy one is better, If I decide to join, I'm also going to buy the Pro Mods and the Apple Pack, so the decision is a hard one :)
For a while in the past, I enjoyed using white on black keycaps with a single white on green Esc, that's why I'm leaning towards the True Retro simplicity
The addition packs are certainly very well though, however it would have been great to be able to buy 1.25/1.75 blanks too (At least the 1.5/2's are available through the ErgoDox packs in general :)
the true retro set definitely needs some more love sir
How can I add the petscii pack to my existing order? I don't see a way to modify or add to my order. Am I just... missing something?
the add on pack is now live and on the site
if you already have an order and wish to add it, simply place an order, leave it unpaid and email me using the contact form on the site, including the new and old order number, and a paypal email, and i can invoice you for the kit minus postage
if you dont have an order yet, you can order as normal

Hey I'm new here. I really want to buy this set for my fiancee. Why isn't there a PETSCII base pack? I don't want to have buy the PETSCII set + the base set, that's a LOT of alpha keys that I won't be using...
Is there a way to buy the base set but sub in the PETSCII legends?

I'm going to give it a whole lotta love. :D

If you're going the full hog on your Retro Installed Keyboard, then I want lots of photos/videos showing all that hardcore action 8) .
Remember I'm a dirty old man wanting to see youngsters debase themselves with their keyboards here on Geekhack ;) .

How many people here would be interested in having bump home keys that matched this set? (vs deep dish homes)
People, really constructive chat but it would have been most helpful in the interest check phase of SA Retro. With less than two weeks left in the group buy I doubt such kits would get the love that they deserve.
As stated already by Matt3o and Bunny in this thread, a lot of the kits that people already drummed up interest for in the IC (international, colemak etc) are not converting into buys. So your passion for alternate homing keys is going to be taken with a pinch of salt. :)
we dont have anything like dipping etc, everything gets made no matter what
Sorry, I didn't mean to sound like I was disputing that. I just mean forum post for interest (as seen above) do not equal guaranteed sales.People, really constructive chat but it would have been most helpful in the interest check phase of SA Retro.

While I totally agree that it's too late in the game for a homing bump argument, earlier in the thread, Bunny said all sets are being made:we dont have anything like dipping etc, everything gets made no matter what

What's the point of the R3 2.25 shift?
What's the point of the R3 2.25 shift?Are you asking why it's R3 when it's clearly sitting on row 4? SP unfortunately doesn't have molds for R4 Shift keys.
Very slowly all kits are tipping. I'm a bit surprised that we didn't reach 25 PETSCII yet. It's the "raison d'etre" of this set. Get it now or regret it forever! :PFor me, I'm stuck on ISO. Wish I weren't, it would make things a lot easier.

Possible that unpaid-combined orders don't show until paid? I know I'm still waiting for my invoice for the petscii add-on to my original order.
(Bunnylake, take my money!)
If ctrlalt.io wasn't blocked from my office i'd be tempted to go add to my order (unless it's too late? I don't recall when the last day is..)

I heard that SP finally has row 4 for the shift key available? Any confirmation on this and would SA Retro be moving toward that?

Going over the child buys before I finalize my order, and a couple questions arose:
- The Big Spacebars set comes with 6.25u and 7u bars, but aren't those included in the base set? Are they intended to be extras?
- The Lime set comes with a R2 Esc. Where on earth would you put that?
Last time I checked (a couple of weeks ago) the shifts were still in R3.Going over the child buys before I finalize my order, and a couple questions arose:
- The Big Spacebars set comes with 6.25u and 7u bars, but aren't those included in the base set? Are they intended to be extras?
- The Lime set comes with a R2 Esc. Where on earth would you put that?
1. yes, they are extras. The spacebars are already included in the base set
2. I'd be damned if I remember :D The JD40 maybe?
I'm probably going to end up ordering True Retro with a lot of mods, I've tried to resist, but I probably won't be able to
What's the surface type by the way, is it glossy again?
I'm probably going to end up ordering True Retro with a lot of mods, I've tried to resist, but I probably won't be able to
What's the surface type by the way, is it glossy again?
I dont think this was answered but...
Is the 3u spacebar concave or convex?
YES, you can not resist this, it's the Ultimate RETRO key-set to furnish any keyboard on the planet.
Even young Catholic Schoolgirls will note your prowess in showing such a HUGE key-set to them. Never deny the young an opportunity to experience something truly "SPECIAL" in their lives 8) .
YES the surface type is Glossy like Scarlett's Lipstick.
2. So lets say a JD40 was I dunno out there somewhere. I was wondering about the Return key... Would you, I'm simply throwing it out there, need a R3 Return key from the Pro Mods group?
last 4 days of this guysCould you give us some stats (how many of which sets are ordered, and what were the MOQ that you need to order from SP), pretty please?
order now or forever hold your peace

I just meant that when you order from SP, they have MOQ - I was curious about that.
sp dont really have MOQ'sDidn't know that - thanks!
they have price tiers, which start at 25
however, they are more that willing to make smaller amounts assuming you are willing to pay a premium to do so
Not sure this has been discussed so thought I would ask
Is there any way is blank ergodoxers could buy a set of blanco homing keys? Presumably we would need 4 blank packs and 1 ergodox pack but, we will be sans homies. Is this a possibility?
sp dont really have MOQ'sDidn't know that - thanks!
they have price tiers, which start at 25
however, they are more that willing to make smaller amounts assuming you are willing to pay a premium to do so
So I suppose your prices are based on 25 tier for the add-on things...
I hope the last day sales will boost most of them to the set pricepoint...sp dont really have MOQ'sDidn't know that - thanks!

some we priced that way, some we didnt
right now, there are only 2 kits that sold more than the price point we set, and neither of those kits hit the pricepoint after that
that being said, everything is set to hit about where we wanted it to land by the end of the buy
with the exception of perhaps the numberpads and the true retro base kit, which look like they will fall 2 and 1 pricepoint away from what we thought respectively
this doesnt mean the buy is doing badly, we just had high expectations for this set
I can't believe true retro is behind burgundy. I'm normally all for differently colored modifiers, but the true retro is just so right for this set. Do people really like the burgundy modifiers better?
I'm going through some personal issues right now and I probably shouldn't be spending $200 on caps, but I know that petscii set will haunt my dreams if I skip it. I just need to sell some junk on ebay I suppose. :)

Number one boobie right here...I like colors...besides...having true retro around would cause me to seek further purchase of said original Commodore 64...I really do miss mine, even though practically every game I had on 5.25 floppy disk took 30 minutes to load. Those were the days
Haha loading from the disks was such a nightmare, even from the 1571. Now you can get a SDIEC II (https://www.c64-wiki.com/index.php/SD2IEC) or a 1541 Ultimate (http://www.1541ultimate.net/content/index.php) along with a JiffyDos chip and games load almost instantly. Never been a better time to be a C64 owner :).

I'm new when it comes to mechanical keyboards for the most part, I just got a Quick Fire Rapid, and a Poker 3 and I just had one (newbish) question, the base set will fit both of those fine right? They look like they have 1.25's but its not a small amount of money so I just wanted to be absolutely sure before pulling the trigger.
Is it possible to get 1.25/1.75 blanks in TBN? (I'm guessing not, but asking just in case - I'm not even sure yet whether I'm going to join, it will probably be a last minute call for me)
Two questions:
1: How does one go about increasing one's order?
2: Is it correct, that the ISO set only contains one enter key, which is Lime?
Thanks. As I'm not certain what my desires will require, I had better secure myself for all possible lay-outs ;)
I'm trying to decide if I need this or not
After seeing TBN here: http://www.pimpmykeyboard.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/absblackbrown.jpg (http://www.pimpmykeyboard.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/absblackbrown.jpg) I'm also having a hard time resisting the True Retro
Is there any guarantee the molding is going to be better with this GB compared to the Hack'd by Geeks one? (The row1's are beasts, tilted row1's draw too much attention, tickles my OCD)
OK, you guys convinced me :) I finally jumped off the fence. In for a True Retro, Lime, and Dvorak set. First GB! Can't wait.
Just paid for the True Retro and the Green Modifiers, can't WAIT!
Its probably been asked, but this is my first time doing a group buy like this, whats the average turn around time after it ends? I assume at least a month or two but just curious.
Picked up more stuff for SA retro:
Big Spacebars
Blanks x4
Burgundy Numberpad
Alternate Functions
Pro Burgundy Mods(for some reason I don't think I'll need this though)
Retro Burgundy
I contacted the store to combine orders but now I'm wondering if I'm missing something vital in my order list.

I just tried to place my order and it said something about not being able to charge an account without an active card. I went to look at my account profile and I see my order # with an animated blue processing icon next to it. Does this mean my order actually went through? Could someone help double check to confirm? I don't want to miss out on these keys lol... I used the same username as my GeekHack name. Thanks :)

I had a similar issue, I contacted them through support and just did it via paypal, haha my only worry is one says unpaid and the other says processing, I'm hoping its because when you pay with paypal they have to manually mark it.
Thanks, I will try to contact them through support.

Anything touched by Matt3o goes GOLD :thumb: .
He's a gifted individual and knows how to apply it easily hence his key-sets are always to die for. Retro has severely gaped my wallet and it's now permanently bow-legged as it resides in my pocket.
Not easy to be a Geekhacker now because there is so much on offer it's like some huge harem of delectable choices, you have time to only go for one or two at any given time frame ::) .
I can't seem to let this one go, considering getting a GON 75% to go with this #FOMO #YOLO
I've taken on jobs I wouldn't have otherwise just to finance keycap stuff, I feel like a changed man. No longer lazy :D
Why do I fear this? Well.. I've seen this discussion and comments all over the place. The community shouts for ISO kits in their native language but when the GB finally happens, only few kits get ordered. I fear that great members like Matt3o will stop making language kits available in future GBs. I am very new to the community and my statement might be wrong. Still I've seen this discussion hence my fears.
So to ALL of you who crave ISO kits in your native language. Beg, borrow, steal... Well, maybe not steal but sell some **** on eBay and buy this set! :thumb:
Hi all!
When the IC for this keycap set got posted I was dead set to go all in if an ISO Nordic kit would be available, which I requested in the IC thread. Then the Orion V2 GB happened and I had already committed to the Granite set on Massdrop. The dark reality slowly started to set in that I would not afford the SA Retro set with the ISO Nordic kit :(
Last night i re-visited ctrlalt.io to give it yet another thought. Slowly I started to realize that it would probably be a loooong wait before a great set like the Retro with ISO Nordic kit would be available again. So I decided to pull some money out of my savings account (which is only intended for emergencies and vacations) and placed my order.
Reason for writing this reply is to encourage others to do the same and pull the trigger on ISO language kits in this GB. If only a few orders on ISO language kits get placed we might not see any more kits at all in the future! :eek:

I also similarly ordered Granite's that I probably won't use
The main reason is SP's ****ty molding, with dark keys you don't notice issues much, yet with white keys like Granite, they are amplified significantly, I noticed this when I was using one of my Eve sets, they all had different footprints and W key was side molded for some reason which messed things further
It's really hard to pull off white keys
It's going to cost 278$'s - but I will probably join this GB too
I also intend to start selling some of my keycap sets, otherwise I can't justify the costs
I really really really hope you push SP on this drop to let the keycaps cool off properly after molding, on the Hack'd by Geeks set some R1's are slightly tilted, it becomes an issue if the plate is stainless steel or white, the imperfections/tilts are easily noticable from the shadow lines - if the plate is black, the shadow blends in with the plate and the imperfections are suppressed
Just paid my PayPal invoice for True Retro, Lime, Alt. Functions, and PETSCII. Can not wait to try out the SA profile! I was going to get a number pad set too but none of my keyboards have a number pad, and I do not have a standalone number pad either, so they would go to waste with me. I will probably regret it later when I buy a separate number pad though.

I was in the same predicament as well, but I actually have a number pad. I choose not to get it cause I rarely use the number pad and it seem more of a waste to get it. Plus, the original Commodore never had a number pad, so it seems fitting to just leave it out.

i went through tons of sets looking for your issue sir, what i think is this, there are tiny imperfections on your keyboard, very small marginal differences in the mounting of the switches, which im sure would be within manufacturing margin of error, however with taller keys, like the sa row one, that nominal difference is magnified to the point that its noticeable
ive seen the issue in your pics, and having now gone through about 10 sets, and having nothing similar, it seems strange that you would have so many incorrect keys
I could not resist PETSCII, I tried, and failed :(

I'm wondering whether I can resist a secondary True Retro set :)

I'm wondering whether I can resist a secondary True Retro set :)
I'd love to grab the PETSCII set, but it's just too expensive. I understand that the side-printing probably adds significantly to the cost, but I just couldn't justify it, as much as it deserves to be part of this set. I'll just have to watch from the sidelines as the rest of you guys enjoy your authentic keys :) I'll enjoy my plain True Retro, though. I think I'll be picking up a Pok3r in the next few months, to house these keys when they arrive.
Yeah, I'm really looking forward to it. At another time, I might have picked up PETSCII too, but I finally managed to snag a set of EVE (my first love) over in the Deskthority classifieds just a few days ago, and it's hard to shell out for two keysets in the same week :)Once you stop thinking about it everyday it goes by pretty fast.
I think EVE will be my primary set, on the KUL at my home office, once it arrives. But like I mentioned, I plan to pick up a Pok3r for more portable use -- working on the couch, or at a coffee shop -- and I think SA Retro is going to be amazing for that use. And if it turns out I don't like EVE's DSA profile, they can always swap places.
So yeah, I think SA Retro will be great even without PETSCII. I'm not a very patient person though -- this whole "wait a few months to get your new toy" thing is going to be rough :)
Finally placed an order yesterday. It feels wrong to spend the same amount on a single set of keys as I paid for my last three keyboards combined, but I know I'll be kicking myself every time someone posts a picture. :) Went with true retro, pro mods, petscii, colemak/dvorak, lime, small spacebars, and 2x blanks.
ok guys, i believe im finally caught up with all invoicing, if you are expecting one and dont have one, please contact me
So I might just go for a humble(?) 1x True Retro, all extras and no PETSCII
However, an instinct urges me to have backups, so I'm seeking that secondary True Retro, in case there are minor imperfections with the first set that bothers me, so I will be able to switch them etc.
Such first world / superficial dilemmas :)

What will you be using the pro mods for, i.e. what keyboards demand that kit?

What will you be using the pro mods for, i.e. what keyboards demand that kit?
I have a tex beetle and a filco minila and an infinity on the way. The only standard layout I have is a cm qfr. If I'm able to get a 4.5 unit space from sp I think the retro set will go on the beetle which is my work board. If not it can fit any of the other three.

Don't hold your breath for a 4.5 spacebar, it would be a small miracle, I'm not even sure whether I will be able to get R4 1.25/1.75 TBN blanks
Ugh. So bummed I may not be getting this. The disposable income I had been hoping to use for this won't come in time.
This would've been my first group buy; what is the likelihood of me obtaining a set after today? Would there be another round?
In my rarely-humble opinion, you should get PETSCII. If you are worried about manufacturing errors bothering you long-term, just think how you'll feel when the first pictures of retro side-printed goodness are posted.

Speaks the utter TRUTH here.
When PETSCII rolls out and they're shown to the world, those that hesitated shall be reaching for their razor's to start inflicting damage upon themselves.
This Retro Key-set offers so much, foreign languages which everyone was complaining to Matt to have available which he has done, huge amount of extra mods also available for anybody wanting extra special customizations on what ever keyboard they have in their possession PLUS the huge availability of extra space-bar keys in all their sizings.
This is why Retro has been offered here for those that requested, all these extras and whatnot. You shall not see another Group Buy such as this with all these offerings in keys, for nearly every sort of key-cap addict out there.
I know a few are thinking they will be hanging around the classifieds section hoping someone is deluded enough to sell theirs off, but be aware you shall be entering a shark's cage only this time you'll be swimming with them in that cage with no protection whatsoever. No mercy for the slow and cheap because the owners have every right to bleed you severely here as a major lesson in life, don't avoid Matt3o's Group Buys otherwise face the vicious consequences of that ill fated decision.
This would've been my first group buy; what is the likelihood of me obtaining a set after today? Would there be another round?
How many did you buy by the way?
Why the burgundy pro mods tho?
I was trying to slow down the amount of group buys I participate in but after getting my set of Hack'd by Geeks last week I think I'm gonna pull the trigger on this.
I'm thinking Burgundy, PETSCII, Lime, and a couple sets of blanks.
Any thoughts on what the must haves are?

I've decided to get True Retro, Retro Burgundy and almost all extras, decided True Retro+Burgundy is better than 2x True Retro's - it costs ~400$'s and covers 2x keyboards with extreme diversity
However, I still couldn't pull the trigger, tho one thing is for sure, If I don't pull the trigger on this set, it would mean that I settled with what I have for the near future :)
I would suggest getting the pro mods etc. too, I know I would regret later on not getting them, even with the Granite set for example, I don't intent to use it, but I kind of regret not adding the "Speciality Keyboards Kit" - which seemed excessive as I already got all the other extras, now I feel like I need that 1u Shift too :)

Hmm was thinking about the Pro Mods but my cart is already $167 without them.. Not sure whether to get rid of the lime or not considering I'm probably going to be limiting myself to 60% boards in the future

I have almost all the additional packs of the Deep Space set and although I don't use any of them, I'm really glad I got them, they are great when I'm trying new layouts, new keyboards etc.
I also decided to settle on 60%'s - now I'm having second thought about going for a 75% etc.
Long story short, you're already paying a lot, 35$ will cancel out a lot of future regrets - even not joining might be better than half joining

Hey guys, how likely will SP agree to molding R4 blanks for me?
This is my last remaining concern, I really want/need those blanks in the Retro colors ;)
I'm re-considering all my keyboard choices right now, those blanks will cast the deciding vote for me, otherwise I might settle on DSA's
Yeah I think you're right. The incremental cost of some of the add ons is really nothing compared to the main set.
I guess in the words of Ron Swanson "Never half ass something, full ass it"
Aargh! Couldn't resist, added Petscii and Pro mods. Wallet is pooped, but the set will be complete.
Is the 1.75x Control key in the Pro mods kit really Row 4? Shouldn't it be Row3?
Very sad I couldn't grab the PETSCII set :(

Thanks matt3o for allowing inter folks to get keycaps :)

Why do I fear this? Well.. I've seen this discussion and comments all over the place. The community shouts for ISO kits in their native language but when the GB finally happens, only few kits get ordered. I fear that great members like Matt3o will stop making language kits available in future GBs. I am very new to the community and my statement might be wrong. Still I've seen this discussion hence my fears.
So to ALL of you who crave ISO kits in your native language. Beg, borrow, steal... Well, maybe not steal but sell some **** on eBay and buy this set! :thumb:
thank for your post. unfortunately it is very unlikely that I will release more FR-IT kits in the future. DE/Nordic might still work, but there simply not enough interest for other languages.

matt3o none of your keycap sets are 1.75/1.25/1.25/1.25 arrow cluster compatible :(
I'm a bit bummed, the granite comes pretty close at 4 1.25's - one 1.75 arrow_up and it would have been perfect :)
...Is the 1.75x Control key in the Pro mods kit really Row 4? Shouldn't it be Row3?
We included both! Bunny didn't update the image because he's lazy :P

40 minutes to sell 25 true retro :D
all done! thanks for making this a successful GB! (especially Elrick and potatowire :) )
I'll contact SP later today and see when this set will be produced.
LAST 2 HOURS!This would've been my first group buy; what is the likelihood of me obtaining a set after today? Would there be another round?
no round 2!
but you'll surely find some in the classified (and maybe bunny will have some spares).

Lol, welcome!
Are we going to be able to buy the Vim key separately? I wanted it but I didn't want to buy the whole PETSCII packThe easiest way would have been to buy the whole pack then sell the caps you didn't want - breaking even. Now, it's going to very hard to find someone who will part with their Vim key. Your best option is to convince someone to run a GB for them

By the way, I heard back from SP, blanks will be available in the keyshop after the keyset is shippedThat's what they announced (http://www.pimpmykeyboard.com/a-new-pmk-is-on-its-way/) for the upcoming changes to PMK:
I think they are planning to make this a regular thing, as I interpret from the reply, which is just great for people like me
Child Deals for blank keys and space bars will be eliminated. We intend to produce those during the production run and make them available as key packs through our Key Shop.

I'm already having second thoughts about not ordering the Lime and the Alternate Functions :)
Just in case I decide to use 75%'s one day and seek those colors, it's a distant possibility, and even if I bought those packs, I would probably use the True Retro keys, however it would have been great to have the option :)

you might still be able to grab 'em
Anyway, better get them instead of rambling too much, should I PM Bunny to ask whether there are any available? (as far as going for extras go, I'm also still itching for a second True Retro/Pro Mods combo :)
I might have missed it but how long does whole process takes before the caps reaches me.
8-12 weeks thats what bunny told me
DSA Retro took 3 weeks (just saying :) )I think they are still knee-deep in Granite production :p
I just had confirmation from Melissa. They are swamped, lead time is 8 weeks.
matt3o any chance the final order numbers are going to be published soon ?

if you read about the keyshop items carefully .. they need to have permission from the owners .. if matt3o does not sign the royality deal they cant do that ..
legaly thats just for the groupbuys they do ..
not a lawyer but the creative rights are still at matt
I think your keycap sets will probably still retain much of their value despite PMK's new system. What I bet is likely to happen is that new interest checks for different keysets will be produced initially, like Carbon. Keep in mind they only produce a certain number of sets still with each run. They will consider reruns though, they have not specified on what sets. Part of me thinks that they will only rerun the new sets that include the royalty agreement.
edit: unless you're just sad about the DSA/SA profiles becoming more available

I'm also surprised True Retro only sold half as much as Retro Burgundy.
Isn't True Retro more loyal to the C64 look? :)

I would be extremely surprised if it was the other way around, if you're using a standard layout, having the modifiers in a different color is visually pleasing, likely many of the buyers are in it for the keycaps rather than the C64-likeness

I prefer having only a few keys colored differently, like enter and maybe escape. I went with true retro, lime, petscii, and the alt. functions.
I also asked SP for a 1.75/1.25 R4 printed arrow cluster quote, if it turns out to be feasible, I might end up using the Retro set for a long time with all my prospective 60%/65%/75% layouts
-----
Well the quote just arrived this moment, it's quite hefty, very hefty, I was thinking of going for 5-6 alternatives to select from, it seems I will have just one shot at $100+ for 4 keys :) (which is not unreasonable, but hefty)
- One possibility is having "UP"/"LEFT" etc. - another one is arrow/nudges similar to the original 1u arrow keys - I used to enjoy the text versions with the Dolch DSA - but with an 60% usage, the arrows could be better - as it would better distinguish the arrows from the other 60% keys
- Another option is the color, http://www.pimpmykeyboard.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/absgray.jpg - GTM is an official color but it seems a bit risky, GY seems firmer
This is the layout http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/#/layouts/85b9345f838e66e59e9769302b9d9a0c - it will be all True Retro, with VAV Esc, and maybe VAV Enter too - the arrow cluster will have a different color to distinguish itself
I would really appreciate ideas to help me select, and maybe if there are other 60% right arrow cluster users out there, we might get a micro-GB going on
I said I won't run SA Round 2 (or DSA Round 2) and I stick to that. Actually none of my sets got a round 2 except for Granite (that got 3).

If you end up starting a group buy put me down as interested. I've got an infinity coming from the most recent massdrop and if I end up using it at home I think I may end up using those keys as arrows too.

MassDrop owns your Granite's now Matt :o .
Good to make your key-sets highly rare so that it doesn't become another boring key-set that was made a million times over.
Agreed. The rarity adds to the excitement of the actual set.

That's also a bit how I feel, which makes it a (small) issue only having the Lime Enter key for my ISO True Retro set.
Now, I gather there is a bit of interest in having some special keys made separately following this, any chance of including the missing Enter key(s) in that, in order for us few ISO folks to complete the True and Burgundy looks?
So if I understand correctly, 100$ + ship would buy me the ISO-enter key straight of the manufacturer? That's expensive, sure, but by no means unreasonable and I would definitely consider that.
And excuse my ignorance, but would that be alright with the designer, Matt3o?

Would it be possible to do a mini group buy for iso enter in true retro?
Would 25 iso enters be too few for SP to consider?
Also check if it´s ok with Matt3o.
For the sake of getting this done, I wouldn't mind pledging for a couple. Assuming they would then be less than 100$ each.I don't think you'll have a problem meeting that price point, but it might be a little high for widespread support!

After seeing this rendering(?) of a C64 replica: http://hothardware.com/news/living-fossil--new-commodore-64-trades-on-nostalgia
I guess I might go for TBN-only arrows with arrow nudges in 1.75/1.25 - diluting the keyset with another color seems like blasphemy and arrow nudges look great :)
It might have been good if a TBN R1 Esc was included too - I'm sure I would've used the VAV one anyway, yet it would be great to get a full retro thing going on with 60%'s
FuriousGeorge, I don't think I can gather enough interested parties/handle the logistics for a group buy-ish thing, yet if you would be willing to spend ~100$ on a 1.75/1.25 arrow cluster, let me know, we can order together and handle the logistics later on, same applies for anyone else ($100+ is for 4 keys one set, I'm not sure how lower it gets with increased sets, but it gets lower as I'm told)
hey guys
i just paid for this gb with sp
it ran a bit over budget but not too much, we knew some kits would struggle but wanted to present a very complete gb

Woo hoo!
Can I ask, for curiosity's sake, what the total amount was? Other aspects of this run have been pretty transparent...
Nooo, I’ve been wanting the original Retro ever since I first saw it, and now I missed this deal – by 10 days!:(
Well, my fingers are crossed – maybe there’ll be a new Retro set in a couple of years?
I said I won't run SA Round 2 (or DSA Round 2) and I stick to that. Actually none of my sets got a round 2 except for Granite (that got 3).I think you'll have to get lucky by stalking this thread for someone giving away their order or checking the community markets.
For the real classics I tend to get two (one for posterity and one for use) and this definitely qualifies, but my wallet is thin this month... I know I'll probably just get two anyway, though. ;)Hi, I am posterity. Can I buy that extra keyset of yours? ;D
even if someone sells it suspect it to be with a 100% markup

It's been my experience that most simply sell the sets for what they originally paid if they even sell them at all...
I just got a letter from my card company, they put a hold on my account for the SA Retro purchase... Hope this didn't affect my order, I just got the holds lifted :-X

i can take the burg. base set and the burg numb block if you still have it
Is it too late to order this set ?
Btw at what rate are kits with ISO-AZERTY options proposed here ?
Just saw episode 3 of Halt and Catch Fire and seeing the C64 made me a little bit more impatient to get this set. :)And I just saw a documentary about retro games in Sweden. Making me regret that I didn't order the PETSCII set also. On the other hand it would look weird together with my Nordic ISO kit.

anyone missed out and willing to take my burgundy base set and burgundy 10 key and willing to do a PPG for the balance I paid (so $124) i'd be willing to do so.
just be aware that the original owner of the order can change the delivery address at any time and you cant do anything against that
even if you payed for it .. there is no way for ctrl alt to controll that stuff ..
its a transaction between you and the "owner" he is still the owner even if you pay HIM for it ..
( contract law is very fuzzy about stuff like that )
i recomend to wait till they are shipped and purchase spares on ctrl alt or via ebay ( if someone sells it after they are shipped) where you have some protection.
i merly statet that the risk of buying it from anyone expect bunny.
special with new accounts .. ( trust gotta be earned )
I just so happen to be an Ethiopian Prince. But I have run into some problems in my kingdom. You see we were given computers by an International Aid group but alas they had to give us second hand keyboards for which we don't have all the keys. So if all of you could help my people so they can use the computers. All we need are your spare key sets.i merly statet that the risk of buying it from anyone expect bunny.
special with new accounts .. ( trust gotta be earned )
If you're worried about being ripped off just buy any order off the oldies on this forum, the newbies you should watch out because they haven't established themselves yet, so handing over hundreds to someone who joined yesterday, might be like handing over all your money to a fake Ethiopian Prince ;D .
Good luck.........

on a side but possibly related note, the day i move in to my new house is august 1st, at this point, i have no idea how long itll take me to have internet set up, ive had moves before where its done in a couple days, and moves where its taken a couple of weeks, hopefully closer to the time ill have a better idea but its possible when these land with cody in the US i wont be around for a few days or more
Starting to worry about if I should have picked up some blanks. Too late now, but I think I have my bases covered.
@dog i ordered 13 sets of blanks .. if you realy need some and ctrl alt does not sell them .. let me know
What time frame are we looking to be receiving these beauties?
sp said these should be done and shipping to us at the end of july
we will use the same model with this as we have for recent gbs, and get them turned around within a couple of days for everyone
they normally take a few days to get to us once they have shipped, and as soon as sp let us know they have either myself or matteo will advise it here
don't hold your breath...
don't hold your breath...
yeah ... :)
worst part is, all these SA/DSA group buys are clouding/delaying Cherry/OEM/DCS ones, after using D/SA's for some time, I have an extreme thirst for some decent sculpture
Unless when this set comes in I get hooked on SA...

Trust me when this set comes in, you'll be hooked like a crack-ho in a toilet. All you will ever want from that day forward is MORE SA profiled caps, nothing will stand in your way, nothing........ 8)

uv-printed wasd keycaps (going to matte coat them)
...
The Cherry/OEM profiles are like all-row-4 SA's - each row has a height difference, all of the keycaps are tilted
Comparatively, the row-1-2-3-4 is like a slide, each row connected to one another

Well, not exactly.
OEM, DCS and Cherry are angled away from the user due to tradition, with typewriters and old terminal boards made with quite a tilt to them. This creates a "step" between keycap edges. SA is based on a "flat" starting point. They're both contoured, with Row 3 being lowest and angled at the base angle and the extreme top and bottom rows taller and angled more towards and away from the user.
I use my boards close to flat for better ergonomics, so I really like the SA profile. I find the "edges" of tilted profiles requires more effort to type on, can't quite "glide" across the caps like I can on SA.
I really do hope SP put some money / effort in and make the Row 4 Shift molds, but like Matt3o says, I don't think they will without a big push from the community.
Now that I've seen some pics of 7bit's Round 5 Honeywell caps I'm disappointed that I didn't join in on that buy. The classic black on whitre and white on red colours look incredible on SA caps. So glad I scrounged enough money together to join in this one in time, though :)
I know the recent Granite run was a big undertaking by SP, and Massdrop missed their original target ship date by over 2 weeks. Are we still expecting SA Retro to ship in the next few weeks, or will the delay be passed on? Or was the delay all on Massdrop?

We're probably missing some updates from the times geekhack went down, the gray color changed for example
It would be great to know what additional keycaps are available but not in the mockups, is the R3 1.75 Control the only one?
Bah, I only just now realized that the only row 1 brown escape key is in the alternate functions which I didn't order. Any other possibility of getting one or anyone willing to sell one they won't be using? I'm sure I can live with a row 2 brown or one of the colored ones if not.
This is my first set of SA so I'm not familiar with how the different profiles line up. Oh well, if I can't find one I'm sure the colored ones will look great. If not I can use a blank.

You can have mine!
I got the Alternate Functions for the yellow functions and gray nav/control clusters.
Which sets did you buy? I'd love to nab something in burgundy for an accent (True Retro here) or a blank.
Very badly would like a R3 control if anyone is feeling super generous, I'll have plenty of extras from the Lime and Alt Funcs to trade.
Thanks for the offer! I didn't pick up any burgundy, unfortunately. Is the R3 control stepped or is there a centered one I'm not seeing? I don't have any use for the stepped one and I don't think I'd use a centered one. Will probably be using backspace from colemak and the regular shift lock on another board.

Think the only one is stepped. Brown esc for that would be awesome :D
I'm also looking for the R4 1.25u shift lock, is there anything else you'd like?

There is a R3 1.75 Control that's not in the sketches
Thanks, then I don't really need the stepped one
Still want the shift lock, though

I won't be using mine at all so I'm good with trading for the esc if that works for you.
I had 2 orders, one big one small, went with small, manually upgraded with paypal to the big one later on, however, on ctrlalt.io the small one is paid and the big one is unpaid
I'm afraid, when this set launches, I might receive the small order, import it, realise the issue, cry a bit, contact bunny, get the missing sets, re-import it, cry a bit more (this time joy)
I would like to make sure I got everything I ordered in the first shipment tho, is anyone else in a similar situation? (contacted bunny a while ago, contacted ctrlalt more recently, but no replies)

All joking aside, I am really looking forward to typing on fully sculpted SA (except for Shifts, :) ).
Unfortunately I've been informed that production has been pushed by at least one week.Really???
Well, I'm not expecting them until September I have to say :D I still need a keyboard to go with my set too. Mahaha. :x
Putting my order up for sale at cost ($231) + paypal fees. I'd like a buyer from the US since that's the shipping method that is payed for.
Set includes:
Retro Burgundy
Pro Burgundy mods
Nunpad Burgundy
Alternate functions
4x blanks sets
Big spacebars
filphil, you should even be able to sell these with profit once the sets ship, likely in 2-3 weeks, so I suggest you endure :)
I know it isn't, but it's generally hard to sell unlaunched keycaps, but the moment they launch, you can even sell them before they reach you :)
as soon as people start seeing pictures you won't have troubles selling. hold tight, we are almost there.

There were no blank homies provided as extra in any kit? We're any of these made for the folks who went blanks plus the ergodox kit? Just wondering if the availability exists. If not I picked up some 1942 blank homies
My extra keycaps seem to have shipped, so I'm guessing we should see some production photos of the actual set soon
your extra caps? you mean your independet group buy ? or actualy parts of THIS SET ?
Next wednesday!
the keycaps will be ready next wednesday and shipped to the proxy. it will take few more days to be distributed to all.

if anyone is in the UK, and would like their set sent to me with mine, and for me to then ship their set, that isnt a problem

Get BOTH profiles, the Original GMK Cherry beauties and the SA Retro Profile.
That's what I've been doing for some time now, never regretted it for one second because both profiles have found room in a variety of keyboards with such ease 8) .
Plus, SA Retro is a masterpiece no matter what the profile. Be at peace and bask in the glow of Matt3o's creative genius.

Compared to you guys, I'm extremely confused
But I'm guessing we are looking for different things too, I'm looking for "the one", one keyboard, one keyset; to lock the muscle memories with
"The One" is whatever I wake up in the morning feeling like using. Today's a Cherry MX Clear day. Yesterday was a Topre 55g day.
However, with so many keyboards, I've found it immensely helpful to pick on one standard layout. TKL is my favorite here.

I even have a couple of PBT SA spacebars actually :) but they will deny having made them :)

Could be they were made by Comptec, before they became SP. I suspect they had a lot more molds in use back in the day, now perhaps warehoused, sold or lost.

Totally off-topic at this point, but I keep flipping back and forth on Carbon, currently running on MassDrop. I really like the set, I really liked it when the initial IC hit. But it would be my fifth SA set, fourth sculpted. Do I really need that many? Plus, I can't bear the thought of skipping the numpad, Dvorak, and novelty child deals for any set I buy, even though I'll likely just stick it on my Pok3r. And that generally puts me over the $150 mark.

Wasn't a huge fan of Jukebox but I definitely regret not getting in on 1976!Yeah, the 1976 mockups didn't convince me, but when the photos started coming out, I managed to grab a set from the keyshop during the couple days they were actually in stock.

SP refuses to do doubleshot PBT. I guess they haven't perfected it yet (or they're just not interested). Since every SA cap set (so far) seems to have doubleshot legends I wonder if that's not the biggest factor for a lack of SA sets in PBT -- if they can't do the legends then they just won't do them. But I find it really hard to believe they can't inject PBT (blanks) into the same molds they use for ABS. The wear on the tooling might be higher because of the higher temps required for PBT, but that's hardly an excuse. It's not that they can't do it, but that they won't.
Edit: I forgot that shrinkage is a bigger factor with PBT, so maybe they really do require new molds/tooling. Now I'm not so sure.
I even have a couple of PBT SA spacebars actually :) but they will deny having made them :)
Lol! They can't deny making the 1x items they sell on PMK store, though ;)

Well, they can and do make 1x and 1.5x SA profile blank PBT keys which can be dyesubbed, but AFAIK they don't have PBT molds for the larger modifiers, so they can't do a FULL set in PBT (and yes, the different shrinkage rate and temperature requires different molds). But I think they could do alphas in dyesub PBT, mods in doubleshot ABS. At least technically. They seem to be reluctant about offering this as an option, though.
Obsessive? You? Is not like you went out and ordered custom-printed keycaps to fit a very specific arrow layout or anything... ;)I even have a couple of PBT SA spacebars actually :) but they will deny having made them :)

They should probably produce the R4 Shifts before all these :)
I was really on the edge about SA's, the shifts cast the deciding vote for me
Practically they are not much of an issue, but on an obsessive level, it's annoying
SA's are pretttty tall compared to DSA's, Cherry'sIndeed! 1976 was my first foray into SA, and the height was indeed very surprising. I can't wait to get my grubby hands on SA Retro, my first sculpted SA set, with Modern Selectric and Jukebox tailing close behind.
I have Retro and Selectric on order too - kind of regretting not ordering Jukebox now that the SA Out of The Vault sets are on the horizon.
I'm in the same boat, two great SA sets on the way and now Carbon comes up and I have to decide if I need even more SA in my life. I only have two MX boards! I hear once you start purchasing boards specifically for extra sets that's when the real wallet hack kicks in ;)
Wasn't a huge fan of Jukebox but I definitely regret not getting in on 1976!
Next wednesday!
So... did this happen? I'm dying to see some photos of PETSCII.I am very excited to see how it came out as well.

Carbon got very expensive for me. I was just going to get a base and novelties, but then I realised my one really custom layout could be filled out using keys from both the Planck and ErgoDox sets... so I added those. Ended up buying Base, Orange Alphas, Planck, ErgoDox, Novelties, Warnings, Forums and some spacebars... Almost also bought the Mod and Flex kits...
Just look at the stats on it... over 400 base kits sold! Impressive: http://www.massdrop.community/
If you're still interested in 1976, it's selling on PMK store again: http://keyshop.pimpmykeyboard.com/products/full-keysets/1976-keycap-set
I regret not participating in this so badly...

Just looked base is out of stock
I have bad news, guys.
SP ran out of brown plastic and they need to restock. This will lead to some delay. I'm waiting for a new ETA, but it won't be pleasant.

Wtf? Did they spill all of it? Lose a pallet? You think they would notice before they get halfway through a run.
We should emphasize that variations in the color will be rejected.
Thanks for the update, sorry for the headache on your end.
I will not accept color variations. If they can't guarantee 100% color matching I will demand the whole batch redone.

Last I heard the set was going to ship a few days ago, so is most of the production run done and sitting in their warehouse? Or did they wait to communicate this for some reason?
I have a fair amount tied up in this set, so I really want to understand what's happening.

It would be nice if SP invested in some R4 Shifts as apologies :)
There is a naive part of me that hopes this set is secretly the first set with some R4 Shifts, and it will be a huge surprise

Yeah, wow, no kidding. Matt3o's update coincides with when the set was supposed to be shipping. So is most of the production run done and sitting in SP's warehouse? Or did SP wait to communicate this for some reason?
They told me that they had little brown remaining, but they thought they could make it. They couldn't.

Presumably by now he has been sacked, and the people responsible for sacking him have been sacked.
Most likely correct.They told me that they had little brown remaining, but they thought they could make it. They couldn't.

Or, more likely, they take most of their orders from companies, and these hobbyist-level orders just fill in the gaps between big runs and they really couldn't care less if a bunch of internet nerds get a little upset that their retro computer caps are late.
I'm not very chatty about this manner because if I talk I'd say things that I'll regret.
So let's keep it calm. Let's say that **** happens. Let's say "first world problems".

Man I wish I could get in on that Carbon buy, but I just bought a house, sooooooooo yeah... not gonna happen :(

Fantastic.
At this point I've got three SA profile key cap sets on order: Round 5a, SA Retro, and Carbon. Let's see which one shows up first. Maybe I'll get them all on Christmas day.
They told me that they had little brown remaining, but they thought they could make it. They couldn't.
I suppose that makes sense why it only came up in the 11th hour. One would think that they would weigh the pellets to confirm the amount, but I guess they're a small facility that may not have a very sophisticated process.
new ETA is end of next week.
Well that was a lot less dire than it sounded. Glad to hear it's all back on track so soon!

I agree that these keys do look amazing and while noted that 2 and 3 differ from a C64 keyboard they do completely match the mock-up posted here and on the CTRLALT site.

It would be CtrlAlt actually shipping individual sets to us, after receiving the bulk shipment from SP. It was Massdrop, not SP, that caused the whole Triumph Adler fiasco.taa-daaShow Image(http://i.imgur.com/XbCFqPB.jpg)
Another thing of note here is that the side graphics of these caps are plastic injection molded or printed on?
If printed on, how is SP going to ship them without damage occurring during transit to people's destinations, throughout the world?
Damnit, wish I would have anticipated my want for an ergodox with SA's when this GB was available...now I'm full of regret and jealousy.Yeah, I really envy the crazies that spend $500+ on every set just to get multiples of every child kit in case they get a Planck, switch to Dvorak one day, etc.

Somewhere in the hundreds of posts in this thread, the probably lies an answer. :) Buy I'm too lazy to look.It would be CtrlAlt actually shipping individual sets to us, after receiving the bulk shipment from SP. It was Massdrop, not SP, that caused the whole Triumph Adler fiasco.
CtrlAlt is in the UK. My understanding is that US orders would be fulfilled from the US. Is SP shipping those directly?

and now Junktown Novelties - row 1 goodness for my media keys!
So much regret that I didn't have the funds for this while it was open.
Dear God let it hurry up I'm coding on inferior plastics.
thank you for keeping us posted .. i suppose sp did it, and the order is on route to cody ?
lime is very vibrant, looks amazing! .. are there pics from the burg. red already?
thanks
Thanks Bunny for the update.
Hmmm... Little scared that this, hyper and JT gets shipped around the same time. Lots of explaining to the Mrs. If that doesn't work, go with plan B -> shoes or bag. ;D

Do we know if there will be any chance of extra space bars? I only ordered an extra set of the small spaces and now I'm thinking I may need an extra 6.25. At one point I thought it was mentioned that SP was going to be producing extra spaces and blanks to go along with group buys, but I haven't seen that recently.
On the bright side I ordered limited edition stickers for all retro orders and they'll be ready in the morning.I love you. :)
I also have all the packing supplies ready, I'm planning out a very fast turnaround for this group buy.

Thank you Cody for tossing in the sticker I am super excited to finally get these caps. It's my first gb and the anticipation may have given me an ulcer. It's probably all the red bull but still I have a sneaking suspicion the anticipation dwarves started it -_- sneaky bastards.

Superb effort in the light of SP's logistic error with the plastic and their heavy schedule for SA caps (all SA sets are seeing delays).
This is great!Yeah, and my crazy ass bought FOUR!
Cody, you rock! (and Matt3o and the rest of the Ctrl|Alt team of course!)
Superb effort in the light of SP's logistic error with the plastic and their heavy schedule for SA caps (all SA sets are seeing delays).
Four retro sets, or four SA sets? Cause both seem perfectly logical considering the market for sets here and on r/mechmarket
Looking forward to these! I can not wait to see how True Retro and PETSCII look on my keyboard
That is great to hear! I kind of feel bad for the guy though, sorting and shipping Hyperfuse, and now this. I truly appreciate all the work Cody and the other members of [CTRL]ALT are doing.

Beautiful photos, thanks.
If I were still in the Bay Area I would come help sort and pack in exchange for getting my order that much faster. Ah well.

its all sorted other than the blanks for some reason, not sure why sp chose not to sort those, but itll be super quick to have this buy knocked out
im going for dinner and cody is going for lunch as he has been waiting in the office since 8 waiting for these to be dropped off
he is then picking up the special stickers we had made just for this buy and we shall hopefully get some more pics to people
I am pretty determined to start shipping these sets tonight too.

CTRL/ALT is the BEST organization for making a key-cap dream, a reality.
I'm okay to wait. It's always with mixed emotions waiting for new cap sets to come, 'cos I know I'm going to get reamed by customs before I get my hands on them.

I presume I was among the initial 20 of this groub buy, since this message is crafted by caps this buy is all about. SA RETRO ARRIVED!!
My first SA experience, so right now I am basically just smiling and understanding what the SA-fuzz is all about. Holy cow it's a delight!
Regarding the design itself, you guys just HAVE to see this baby with your own eyes - so I won't share any pictures.
I am extremely happy with the result and I'm certain I won't be the only one.
... Owning more SA Profiles is like an addiction, in which too much is never enough :thumb: .
Looks great ! I am starting to think I should have gone with burgundy instead of True Retro with PETSCII. I can not wait for my set to arrive, I am sure it'll look good!MoreI just got mine and filled one of the Leopolds we have in our showroom.

This is my first time owning SA profile keycaps, and they are better than I imagined. Thanks to Matt3o, BunnyLake, and codyeatworld for making this happen. If I had one complaint, it would be the 'G' key seems just a tad out of place, and I am not sure why or what it is. Maybe you can see it in the picture?
These keycaps are definitely worth every farthing, my only regret is that I didn't pick up the Burgundy NumPad set...so if anyone has one, or if there are extras please PM me. ;D

I would never have noticed it, but the "G" looks slightly elevated than the other letters, and maybe even a bit smaller in font.

Is it that important to have Row 4 shifts? They are so close to the right tilt, but it doesn't really bother me. If you all make up a petition, I would sign it, but I ain't waging this war...

this is a community composed of people that pay hundreds if not thousands of dollars for doubleshot keysets each year... I wouldn't doubt that quite a few people are pedantic about it

glad to see they are arriving
once a few more pics show up, we shall see if they all have the issue or if its just your set, if its just you, ill get the odd keys replaced, if its everyone, ill speak to sp and see what if anything they can do for us
no complication, essentially i just missed updating it on the site but i spoke to cody about that very order this morning
1 thing went wrong tho, but surely no game-breaker for the majority of this buy:
The colemak + dvorak kit has the row 3 backspace meaning to replace the capslock. The size is off I'm afraid (same size as the R1 backspace).
For me it doesn't matter, but maybe somebody valued this alot.

Bunny/Cody, I have two down arrows, and no right arrow. Unless I'm an idiot which is entirely plausible.Row four and two have the same tilt but upside down. Could your second down arrow actually be the extra up arrow that is included in row 2? I'm not sure about your right arrow.

Which board is that? That might be my favorite layout.
This is glorious!
<is it just me, or does the stepped "SHIFT LOCK" key have the wrong line thickness on the font?>
So this is actually using smaller legends than most SA sets? Looks like a similar size to the standard DSA legends. It does seem to exaggerate the vertical displacement of the G a little / make it more obvious, which makes sense. I wouldn't have noticed it (and in fact didn't) on the usual sized font.
That angled shot looks awesome! It does, however, highlight the Row 3 Shifts, but fear not... "steps are being taken".

I've noticed the swirling on all SP caps. I have it on my Nuclear set, on the '76 set, and now this set. It's minor, and kinda pretty IMO.SCIENCE!!!!
The pearlescence is especially evident on larger caps. It reminds me of shampoo.
I'm guessing either the plastic is partially crystalline, or the pigment particles are consistently morphic, and that the flow causes particles to allign.

same thing happening to mine... WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
I guess it's time to bring up the quality issue of "swirling." Not sure if it's related to the ran-out-of-brown-pellets situation or not, but a lot of my keys look like the color was distributed unevenly, like there's a swirl of unevenly-mixed shades. Almost all of the keys in this photo exhibit it:

It's really only noticeable in certain lighting, I'm imagining it's not just my set though.

Mine came in yesterday. All the ones I've checked look great with the exception of the 2u Colemak backspace. Did SP make that wrong or did the wrong size get ordered? A little disappointing, but certainly not a deal-breaker.
Did the blanks win?
Which board is that? That might be my favorite layout.
It's an LZ-SQ!
This is glorious!
<is it just me, or does the stepped "SHIFT LOCK" key have the wrong line thickness on the font?>
So this is actually using smaller legends than most SA sets? Looks like a similar size to the standard DSA legends. It does seem to exaggerate the vertical displacement of the G a little / make it more obvious, which makes sense. I wouldn't have noticed it (and in fact didn't) on the usual sized font.
That angled shot looks awesome! It does, however, highlight the Row 3 Shifts, but fear not... "steps are being taken".
The angle makes it look a bit more extreme than it actually is, but the SHIFT LOCK text is slightly larger and more bold than the other modifiers. The kerning on LOCK isn't the same as the SHIFT either, so I guess it could bother someone who is looking really hard...but probably no more annoying than the main "SHIF T" keys we currently have on SA sets.
As for smaller legends, I compared my Round 5 caps to SA Retro. It looks like all of the text on Retro's alpha keys are slightly smaller than Round 5's. The modifier text (including the num row and character mods) are the same size between the two, though Retro's num row text looks slightly more bold than Round 5's.
And well, the Row 3 shifts...I guess I'll stick with head-on frontal photos of the board for now. :pShow Image(http://i.imgur.com/5IWaFjU.jpg)
So I thought that the burgundy mods would totally trump true retro - boy was I wrong!
There's only one way to Retro and that is all brown (with green or yellow or gray accent)

Then I say thank you very much for offering Burgundy mods. :thumb:
The burgundy mods are what make this set interesting. The all-brown look works great for 60% boards but is too much brown for anything larger IMO.

That is one sexy board, sir. Good job. Already finished wiring and programming? Let's see the guts of that baby.
BTW, did your standoffs work well? The holes in my old Ortho board are nearly the same diameter of the standoffs, so they want to sink in/tilt.My standoffs worked perfectly, because the holes were perfectly M2-sized (thanks to jackhumbert!)

I may ditch the bonus keys on the left side for version 2 (even though I like them (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=71636.msg1746326#msg1746326)), so it fits in a standard Poker case.

Woot! Got mine today, and that was incredibly fast shipping both on CtrlAlt and USPS!
Haven't had a chance to open the caps and can't until tonight, but one question:
I took over someone's order of the Burgundy and Burgundy Numpad, and wondered if anyone who ordered the numpad too got their sets placed in one bag. I got just one bag and, after about ten seconds of turning it over, didn't spot any numpad keys. Is everything supposed to come in only one bag?
Again, I'm going to take a better look tonight, but wanted to know before I started getting worried.

if you took over someones order, that isnt attached to your account, so we would have no way to know to combine orders
instead, the person who made the original order, will get a shipping notice when it is sent
Got mine the day before, but only had the chance to take a pic now. The tall profile is pretty great with the full hand case.
Oh and the caps themselves are gorgeous. :cool:

Sorry, that was confusing. I took over someone's entire order, which was the Burgundy Set and Burgundy Numpad, but unfortunately it seems I received only the Burgundy set, no numpad. I'm going to check again tonight to confirm, as well as contact the person from whom I took over.
Edit:
Sneaked away for a few minutes. Spilled out the bag, and there's definitely no numpad. Contacted the person who made the original order just to make sure both were ordered.
In the mean time, this is my first full SA set and it's absolutely gorgeous. The colors are far more pleasing to the eye in person.

I really want to start using this set, but I'd rather not put these keys on a black board which is all I currently have available. The 1976 doesn't look very charming on a black board. It sorta ruins the effect.
I'm seriously considering giving my CODE a spray-tan.
If you aren't interested in a retro scheme, perhaps you're in the wrong thread ;)
Different colors match different colors. Black has its place.
Maybe your hatred towards anything "BLACK" has to do with your own discrimination towards anything being in that colour and we all have to ask why would that be?

Did you know during that time period many (me included) wished for all Black Keyboards instead of the pedestrian beige/cream garbage that was readily available?
Time to grow up sunshine, all black keyboards are here to stay and would rather stay with that standard colour than the glaucoma creams and other nauseous colours of the late 70's and early 80's.
i do have some limited extras, but im going to wait until all the orders are sent otu to list them
they will be gb price, no extra percentage will be added on
Oh, and here's mine on a KUL with the white case. I think the black KBs look fine, but I do prefer the contrasting look of this set with a lighter-colored case :)

Oh god messy desk so embarrassing. Too busy at work to take better photos :)
Wasn't trying to contribute to the keyboard race war. :p (I, too, remember when beige was boring. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beige_box)) Darker browns just tend to better complement warm or muted tones. Keyset looks great, regardless.

as matteo says, its not like we are making money on this, and im sure matteo will be happy to confirm, but i actually took a hit on some kits, purposefully charging less for some kits to encourage the purchase of some of the more irregular kits, so the prices werent super lob sided

I think it's because the (current) CTRL[ALT] website actually looks professional, better than *a lot* of websites of actual online stores. So if one doesn't know it's not an actual business but a kind of community initiative, it's kinda deceiving.I don't know if I would say "deceiving" so much as those making that assumption are ignorant and rude. There is no deception on ctrl alt's end.
Yea, sorry, <insert the usual english not my first language lame excuse>. I didn't mean that the CTRL[ALT] team tries to deceive anyone. Maybe the word I was looking for is deceptive/misleading? Again, no ill intent on the CTRL[ALT] side implied, of course they try to make look and work the best way possible ;)Confusing. The word is confusing.

Smaller Commodore symbols.
The smaller size really made me happy. I was not sure whether or not to use them, seeing the DSA set. With the shrink, even tho i didnt realize it at first, the keys just fit in so well. Well played Matt3o!
@TheCowGod: they look lovely on a light coloured board! But your board seems to have acquired an interesting medical condition... inverted colon.

In base kit, the "shift"s are R3 and in Mods "shift"s are R4?
yes.
...Some of the kits that have been asked in the IC phase need really a lot of love (such as the intl kits, dvorak, apple, ...).
Hopefully the combined layout package will up the chances for it to tip. Even though all I need is the colemak caps, I'm very pleased with your decision of a combined kit.
Will you provide status here whether kit got the love it deserves or not?
I will!

And yes it should have been clearer on the site, it should absolutely not be advertised as an R4 Shift when it clearly is not, and pointing me to a single post on a forum not even backlinked by CTRLALT.io except a 'geekhack.org' link at the bottom of their page page is far from sufficient.

And yes it should have been clearer on the site, it should absolutely not be advertised as an R4 Shift when it clearly is not, and pointing me to a single post on a forum not even backlinked by CTRLALT.io except a 'geekhack.org' link at the bottom of their page page is far from sufficient.
Dude. Chill.
You are buying very niche stuff and you a mistake. Don't have a meltdown about it.
It's not some corporation who purposefully tried to screw you over - it's a bunch of people trying to make cool stuff for us. If you've got a beef you can PM them or just sell your kits. End of.
I want the public to know that so other people don't 'make the same mistake' as I did
QuoteI want the public to know that so other people don't 'make the same mistake' as I did
the set isnt for sale anymore it was a 1 time groupbuy ..
its a group of guys not a company !
there is a difference between voicing an opinion and having a rant :)
+ cut them some slack, nothing they can do .. IF SP DOESNT HAVE A MOLD FOR 2.25 R4
we are talking about 1 ****ing cap not a whole set .. so relax

And this other guy tells me I need to chill, haha.
I know these are just guys doing cool things, and thats great, but what I didn't know is that there are no R4 Shifts from SP, and that, I learned by posting here, so ultimately it's a good thing.
I think this thread has had enough of me for a while, so if anyone wants to shout in my face feel free to send a PM, hopefully I made an impact to the sellers so that they can label the sets perfectly in the future, cheers!
Edit:
Still curious about the whole period/colon cap thing though.
I hope this doesn't sound condescending, but I can't imagine someone spending $300 on a keyset and not being "in it" deep enough to know that there are no SA R4 Shifts.QuoteAlso seems like my shift cap is the wrong profile or am I missing something?Show Image(https://my.mixtape.moe/ywjlxd.jpg)
that looks like a pro mods R3 shift ..
SP doesn't have the molds for big R4 shift keys. So all SA sets from them had R3 :(
Would've been nice to know that before I dropped almost 300 bucks in caps from this groupbuy.
It was mentioned quite a few times... :/
In OTHER NEWS, my set is HOME but TOO MUCH WORK to put them on my only MX board atm, a Minila. Meh. :/
I saw no mention of this when I purchased it, albeit I didn't lounge around here and read every post, but when I see a product picture defining a cap as R4 when I was purchasing, I truly did think I was actually getting what I ordered.

I believe I understand why the Ctrl|Alt order page did not have the information that these would be Row 3 Shifts instead of Row 4, but I'd rather that Matt3o explained it himself. In normal circumstances I think it should have been mentioned there, but these were not quite normal circumstances. I'll simply put it this way, Matt3o / Ctrl|Alt are not to blame for the confusion, SP are.
The current situation on the Row 4 Shift molds is that SP is telling us the same story it has for about 10 months now, that they are making them, but can't say when they'll be ready. We're on the case and hope to have some clarity on the issue soon that we can share with everyone.
It's "common knowledge" in the community for those who follow SA sets, but we can't expect a new member / normal person who joins their first fully sculptured SA GB to know about the Shifts issue.
Usually SP will replace any wrongly made caps as I believe these ".:" ones are. They're good at fixing mistakes like this, especially with a GB leader like Matt3o at the helm.
- As soon as SP will release the shift keys in R4 (if ever) I'll run a mini GB just for them
- This is a community effort. This thread is the official page. ctrlalt is not making money out of this. Actually Bunny put his own wallet to make some kits tip
- The first post clearly tells you that shift keys are in row-3, but I did that just as a courtesy, because that's how SP sell all their SA family keycap sets
- If any of you is not satisfied by the final product I'm sure we can find a solution but keep in mind this is not a business, we do know have a margin, we do not have a "customer care", you are just relying on other community members' time and money

hah that be amazing .. anyway do we know if cody shipped all orders out or are there still some pending ?
The only thing I don't get about the R4-shift is why the designers make the set with a layout where the shift keys are a different profile than the other keys on the row. Why not just go with the flow and make the shift keys fit in?
bam!No, I mean why isn't the entire row R3?Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/D1rlrQK.jpg)The only thing I don't get about the R4-shift is why the designers make the set with a layout where the shift keys are a different profile than the other keys on the row.

SA family was originally Row-3 only. SP and the community added row profiles over the years. The shift keys are still missing.
The row profile is up to the set designer. It's kinda odd, but OEM/DCS/Cherry have their profile pretty much set, but SA only has 4 profiles (and really only 3 if you consider that R2 and R4 are just flipped) to fill 6 rows. Some designers go with an all-flat 3-3-3-3-3-3, Matteo went with a "full sculpt" of 1-1-2-3-4-4. I also just got my Modern Selectric set, which is 3-1-2-3-4-3. I suppose you could make the Shift row flat as well, and do something like 1-1-2-3-3-3.

Anyone else who bought the International DE-NO-SE set have the misprinted colon/period?
Well I will never go back after using these SA's.
Unfortunately:Anyone else who bought the International DE-NO-SE set have the misprinted colon/period?
Yup... I join the group of people suffering from inverted colon. It looks like SP just put the first shot mold in upside down when making these. On the bright side, perhaps these will become something of a "special" rare, collectible cap... like misprinted stamps or something...

I'm still waiting for mine to be delivered. Mine will probably be misprinted as well. I however do not share the same enthusiasm. Not really interested in a "rare collectible cap". I want them all to be correctly printed. In my opinion SP should replace all the misprinted ones. So this is defiantly an issue I will address with the GB organizers.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I don't mean I'll be happy to just use the wrong cap. I definitely want the fixed version and SP should make them and send them out, I was just speculating that the cap could become a collectible item, more out of humour than being serious.
@nrp: That Planck looks spectacular! Beautiful use of the profiles.

Hey everyone, This is my first time joining GB with CTRL.ALT.
My order is #299139,

its not done via order number
cody is however working through orders
he did a huge amount of packing last night
and to finish this gb there is only 1, maybe 2 more sessions work
you will get a shipping notification once your order ships

The more I see the pics posted here, the more anxious (or excited rather) I get. :p
Cody must have been very busy now as I'm still waiting for his reply of my address changes. But well, It seems like it can be done on ctrltalt.io now. Cheers!
BTW, apropos of nothing, now that I've gotten a few days of typing in on these fully sculptured SA keys, can I just say how amazing they are? It's my first SA set -- before this I had been using the DSA eve set, and before that always just DCS etc. These SA Retro keys are by far my favorite profile. The heft of the keys have a good sense of momentum, the spherical tops really cup your fingers pleasingly (particularly the deeper F and J), and the smooth finish feels so nice. Once I tracked down the EVE set, I considered stopping there, but I'm really glad I also decided to participate in this GB. Now if only I'd gotten the PETSCIIs :)
Yeah, my first were the Hack'd by geeks set, I put them on my poker II with the low profile CNC'd acrylic case from massdrop and reversed the feet so it has a slight negative angle, which seems to be optimal ergonomically (for me). If you haven't tried a negative pitch with sculpted SAs, you should. The downside is that I ended up having to use some upside-down DCS keys for the bottom thumb row as I started getting a callus on my thumbs from the edge...

I'll go ahead and chime in to say that I actually wouldn't be interested in joining that GB. I have True Retro with the Dvor/mak keys and PETSCII, and to me it's one or the other. Having the Dvorak keys with the PETSCII labels would seem odd to me.
Now...... I'd totally be in if you wanted to run a buy for an extra set of just mods so those of us with PETSCII had enough keys to fill out a second board (maybe even limited to 60%)

I'd be in for that, but I don't know it there would be enough interest. It would be nice to at least have the , . / ; ' keys to fill out two sets of alphas. In hindsight it would have been nice if normal aphas, full alpha petscii, retro mods, and burgundy mods were all separate so you could mix and match, but I can understand that would have been more difficult to organize. With the weird key sizes on my Minila I'm able to use it on both that and a standard layout with some blanks and other keys filling out the missing keys, but if there is interest in a petscii to 60% conversion set count me in.

BOOM. That little thing just became SO SEXY. Most satisfying sound & feel since my Topre 55g (nothing like it, but it's perfect for change of "scenery" ) I love that set on my Minila Air and I'm considering buying a BIGGER MX board to not let so many leftovers rot. I have a filco Numpad to dress too btw. And I bought too many space bars...
BTW, my mini spacebar is not perfect : 2 bumps, from the molding I guess? No big deal but meh. I'll try to make a better pic of that prob. And yep, I have NO IDEA of the way it should be fixed. :x

Is it the lighting, or the material / color of the space bar is a little bit different than the key caps'?

Nah it's the orientation but it's not "perfect", but it's hard to take a "good" picture to show the "problem". Well, I'm whining a bit here, it's still VERY good and anyway ➜
A BIG FAT THANK to Matt3o and all the people involved in this GB. <3 <3 <3
Enjoy it buddy, and whining, from time to time, is not always a bad thing.
Speaking of whining, it does look like SP miss-cut some legends, and Bunny mentioned they would do corrections if the issue was widespread. The smaller G was mentioned earlier, but I also have a "wavy" D and scooped. I can live with all of these things and none of it diminishes my love for this glorious set. That shouldn't necessarily let SP off the hook, however.
Enjoy it buddy, and whining, from time to time, is not always a bad thing.
WE all do it fairly well here on Geekhack and that sometimes can be a blessed thing 8) .
Helps everyone to pick up their standards and accomplish more than what they had been previously dishing out.

Urgh, what a very unpleasant sight, seeing Matt3o's beautiful key-set being so blatantly crapped on by having that awful Jobsie creation sitting behind it.
Please first step in your recovery as an adult, get rid of that iMac as soon as possible and build yourself a real PC that accentuates your keyboard and not make it look so terrible.

nope we have one session left to ship on this to wrap up the rest of the sets, hopefully itll all be finished this week
thank you for you patience

It's been hard to wait while seeing everyone else's pictures, but I understand since I waited until the last minute to order. Looking forward to receiving mine.

on another note, sp have agreed to replace the 2 incorrect caps
2u Colemak backspace (should be 1.75u)on another note, sp have agreed to replace the 2 incorrect caps

It looks like more are about to go out. My order changed to shipped this morning.Just got shipping notifications here. Woo hoo!
Bunnylake - I received an email but the tracking number is the same as my prior order... which was delivered in Sept. Can you let me know if this was sent in error?

I was double checking orders/tracking numbers and mistakenly marked one of your orders as shipped but reverted back already. You'll receive a new one when its ready.
I haven't been following this set, but has there been mention of a re-run?

Cant wait for mine too :p. Any news when would the final shipment be?
knowing that after getting the tracking (none yet) i'll have to wait another 3 - 4 weeks :( then the hype will be over....
I have not heard anything for my order.No one yet, we will get a heads up when Cody has finished shipping (se above). If you haven't heard anything by then, open a ticket at ctrlalt.io
x1 SA Retro.

Here's my set up at this time. This is my first SP SA set and Im loving how these feel
This looks very good with the orange leds and orange arrows. I like it a lot.
What's up with the shifts? Are they getting fixed? (or has that been addressed yet)

My shipment seems to be in limbo. At the moment it seems USPS has mishandled it and marked it as delivered. Still trying to figure out what happened before I involve Cody.
I love it :DShow Image(http://i.imgur.com/bt5fUMr.jpg)
Yeah, the numpad is all wrong because the layout of the filco but I DON'T CARE :D
Caps came! But... I got Burgundy when I ordered True Retro...
Just received mine and they look wonderful... but I'm missing the lime set (I added them later and was invoiced for them).
Package arrived minutes ago.
Thanks [CTRL]ALT and Matt3o for providing international layout support :thumb:

Haha :p
These feel FANTASTIC! Not only that, the fact that they have some heft to it and also how solid they feel. Now it makes me wish I got in on the symbiosis set.
Who do I contact if I need my tracking number?
I have a package stuck in customs and need to know if it is this.

it would be at the top of your order, as well as in your shipping email
it will say paid or shipped, if it says shipped and there is no tracking number send me a pm.
~20 orders left, wrapping up retro right now. (some of you might have till wait till Wednesday cause I need different size boxes.)
Once all orders have gone out, I'll be sending out an email to everyone with a form link for damaged/missing keys.
If I sent you the wrong item or you are missing an item, you may contact me via PM or email. (if you already sent me one I should be following up with you in the next week or two.)
Hmmm so I have an issue... a rather large one. My main order which I paid for said processing for the longest time on the order page and I constantly check because I'm excited about the shipping... today I look and the order that said "processing" is no longer there. Sent a request via the contact link heh if I miss out on my order I will be pretty damn heart broken (in addition to being out $90-something)

Sent you a message about KHAANNN's order that I took over, he nor I have received tracking info. Plz help. I'm anxious to get it sorted as it's a $450 order.
The last batch is still waiting to be dropped off as I packed most of them on Saturday and a few yesterday. I will making a trip to the Post Office in about an hour.
Hey Cody or Bunny, I sent you guys a PM.. not showing up in my sent items though on the site just wondering/making sure you guys got the PMs and my email confirming my paypal invoice number, and making sure I'm going to receive the set,
Thanks!

Sorry for the delays. I had a killer toothache which finally went away yesterday. I had a piece of floss stuck in my gums/teeth!
A few orders were left hanging but I dropped everything off Friday. There are still about 10 outstanding orders on ctrlalt.io so if your order isn't shipped it's probably one of them.
If you PM'd me about Retro (or anything else) sorry I haven't replied yet as I like to reply/ship or fulfill any request at the same time. I have all of tomorrow to wrap thing up.

did you manage to wrap things up ? my orders still show "payed" .. thanks
Finally got mine. Very beautiful indeed.
I have some extra caps that I don't use for my TKL or was sent by mistake.
If anyone wants them. You would just need to pay for shipping.
Thanks again for the great work guys.
The ARROW cap should be a DOWN.

I'd love to have the 1u mods - if you prefer to ship them all together I'll find the others a home if you want.
A little panic is striking me right now!
I logged in on the Ctrlalt.io website and looked at my Order History page, it is empty as before there was my Retro order!!!! please tell me my order is handled and I only have not yet received my shipping code.
I have a order number noted somewhere if needed.
:eek:
cody could you please give us a update on the last 10 remaining orders ?
not to push but can you give a realistic turnaound time ?
thank you

When I decided to sell my order, I had no idea the wait time for the buyer would be this long, If I knew, I wouldn't condemn another human being to this kind of unknown and torturous waitingYeah, I would appreciate some communication. I understand Bunny was going through a scary moment, but I would appreciate an update and shipment from someone on the rest of the orders.
It seems there was an update on 24th October, however harlw/I still haven't received any updates
2 months is just such a long delay, I also pm'ed Bunny after I initially sold the order to harlw and noticed my PM's were blocked, a person who is acting as a Vendor shouldn't block those who support their business / buy stuff from them
I could've sold my set and forgot about the rest, yet I feel responsible for harlw, please feel a fraction of this responsibility for your customers and either update them properly or ship their orders, thanks
Hi,
I’ve just registered an account at geekhack just to write here. I’ve followed this thread since day one and I also placed two orders for this incredible Retro set.
Both orders have been in status ’Paid’ since May, for a total amount of 470 $.
I’ve sent the CTRLALT folks several emails. Some go unanswered, some they reply to. But they never provide any real info about the status of my orders.
I’m starting to get a bit worried (but maybe I shouldn’t?). :(
Completely unrelated to recent posts/drama, I never followed up on my post a few pages back, but I do have an answer. If anyone is interested in filling out their PETSCII kit with the 6 missing "normal" keys - so your almost-complete set of alphanumerics can actually be reused in a different context and doesn't just go to waste - I got Bunny's and Matt3o's blessing, and a quote from Melissa:Awesome. I'm in.
20 orders would make it ~$18 per.
Not amazing, but $3/key is not unreasonable for only a small number of buyers. I've been waiting for problems with my order to be cleared up and to see if CtrlAlt was going to buy any to go with their extras, but I figured I'd at least post the information now. When the final kits ship, I'll pimp this a little harder.

I have also contacted both Cody and Bunny and not had a response about my order, just an update would be helpful.
I should get some more labels in the mail today, and I expect to finish shipping most orders within a week from now.
...
I will be wrapping up this group buy shortly and will be continuing Hyper Fuse shipping right after.
I only have 20-30 boxes left. 200+ boxes will arrive on Thursday.
Depending what time UPS comes I'll have the group buy wrapped up same day or Friday.
I might amazon prime some boxes to finish it up sooner though.
UPS came around 8:30 last night to drop off the boxes so I didn't really get to ship anything yesterday.
I should be completing retro today or tomorrow tho.
Taking the night off and going out. Retro will be completed this weekend and dropped off Monday. If you don't receive a tracking number by monday you may contact me.
oh for anyone with missing parts to there order
as soon as cody wraps up the main orders this weekend
we will get those sorted for you
we also have the replacement keys from sp so will get those out to people soon
anyone with missing individual keys, once shipping concludes we will put a form up for you to fill out, ive spoken to sp and they will replace any missing keys all at one time
we will also have some extras available, which we will put up in the store by halloween
it will say paid or shipped, if it says shipped and there is no tracking number send me a pm.
~20 orders left, wrapping up retro right now. (some of you might have till wait till Wednesday cause I need different size boxes.)
Once all orders have gone out, I'll be sending out an email to everyone with a form link for damaged/missing keys.
If I sent you the wrong item or you are missing an item, you may contact me via PM or email. (if you already sent me one I should be following up with you in the next week or two.)
Sorting out final logistics, I've had a few PM's. I'll have another update on Wed.
10 orders remain.ff

Yours in one of the 10, you'll receive a tracking number tomorrow.
What frustrates me is both accounts have been active on the forum during this period, to include today.This.
my son was born on october 21st, i spent over a week in hospital due to birth complications and i only jsut got home, and full updates were posted about this
I saw nothing about this, it was mentioned in a message on Oct 18th you would update my order when returning from the hospital. I had no idea what the reasoning was, or the date you would return. Congratulations on your son being born.
I have still not received a confirmation that I will receive my order, a tracking number, or an update on any of the various sites dealing with this. In fact the site I ordered from I am no longer able to access my order history since it is being migrated.
I personally did not know why he was in the hospital, and did not see a full update on this. My last reply was on Nov 3rd where I stated.

I wanted the set however the customer treatment is extremely poor for the last of us waiting on our sets. I understand life happens but are you really telling me there is no reason to update the customers on the forum? I see there has been enough time to update and migrate ctrlalt.io.. but not a single peep about our outstanding orders? In all honestly updates should have been done via email from ctrlalt.io because its a bit unprofessional to assume all customers will get on a third party forum for communication.

Quotemy son was born on october 21st, i spent over a week in hospital due to birth complications
I understand it's frustrating but in front of issues of this magnitude I would be a little more accommodating, also considering that ctralt.io might look a pro site but it's still community based and bunny did not make a dime on SA Retro, on the contrary he spent of his own money to make it happen.
I know bunny, I'm sure he'll make this right as soon as wife and son are 100% well.

They are a group of geekhack community members running group buys. Yes they have a website but that's just to give a better platform versus running Google spreadsheets.
I know they don't plan on getting behind but it happens, they are always working on improving the process.
Filing a PayPal dispute will only cause problems for everyone involved.
These guys have a proven track record, you will get your stuff.
I also recommend checking out there artisan subforum for updates.
https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=76707.0 - one example
ok so here is my side of events
i will try and answer as many of the queries and posts as possible without quoting walls of texts
firstly with regards to the guy who issued a chargeback
he sent me an email, to which i replied i was in hospital and to message me at a later date
he then goes and issues a chargeback, in my eyes a real scumbag move, given the fact i informed him where i was and id sort it when i could, and that we always update this thread
in the chargeback he asked what we could do to move forward, i told him to cancel the chargeback and to email me and ill get it sorted for him
he didnt do this
i informed him where i had been and what i was doing, and informed him that i had clearly posted about it on gh
im sure most of you know where i have been
he has still not cancelled the chargeback, leaving my paypal account at risk, and therefor other peoples money because he couldnt wait a week for an email
with regards to other outstanding orders
firstly there are sub 10 orders left
most kinda large
cody needed specific boxes for each
there is also one other problem
when packing orders, on a couple of sets, cody sent the wrong kit, as in sent a true retro instead of a burgundy or whatever, this has left us 2 sets short, and we were waiting on the returns of those sets to conclude one big order
cody is on holiday for 4 more days, and has posted he will conclude this as soon as he is back
as to a couple of other points
im sorry you cant view your orders right now, we are migrating them form the site, you will have access to that soon
with regards to the couple of orders that vanished
this can happen after time if it was left at processing, nobodies order is lost and that can be easily sorted
there is 2 orders i think that arent on the site, they will be dealt with as soon as these last few go out, then there are a couple people im told with a missing kit or 2 from there order, this will also be dealt with right away
there were 250+ orders for this gb
there are like 10 to go
sorry for the delay
What frustrates me is both accounts have been active on the forum during this period, to include today. I will never be ordering from them again and will recommend others do the same until they fix their communication practices. I've opened a Paypal dispute, I feel I've been patient enough. My order disappeared from the site and I received no verification that I would actually receive my original order, on top of that very little to no communication within the forums, or via their support email.

when you join a community gb, you are not paying the gb leader, your money goes to the manufacturer, when you issue a chargeback against that gb leader, your arent reclaiming your money, you are attempting to steal theres, that is theft
not only did we not make money on this buy, i actually subsidized the cost of some kits to make them happen
90% of this gb was shipped in a super timely fashion
constant updates have been posted
the issue you had on the site, was one where if you paid via paypal, and it didnt get marked as paid on the site, it sits at processing, i had previously asked everyone to check there order and make sure it was marked as paid and to contact me if it was,t to which you didnt do, when you did contact me, i replied as soon as i saw it, stating i was in hospital, and to contact me later and id get it sorted
as you know you ordered this set through ctrl alt, we have a sub forum, and in that sub forum, i posted the reason for my absence and updated it when i could
yes my account may have shown online at some points, that is because i came on to do that, not browse the forum, i came on, made an update post and left
and had much more important things to deal with
we mark all paypal orders as paid on the site at the end of the gb

What frustrates me is both accounts have been active on the forum during this period, to include today. I will never be ordering from them again and will recommend others do the same until they fix their communication practices. I've opened a Paypal dispute, I feel I've been patient enough. My order disappeared from the site and I received no verification that I would actually receive my original order, on top of that very little to no communication within the forums, or via their support email.
when you join a community gb, you are not paying the gb leader, your money goes to the manufacturer, when you issue a chargeback against that gb leader, your arent reclaiming your money, you are attempting to steal theres, that is theft
not only did we not make money on this buy, i actually subsidized the cost of some kits to make them happen
90% of this gb was shipped in a super timely fashion
constant updates have been posted
the issue you had on the site, was one where if you paid via paypal, and it didnt get marked as paid on the site, it sits at processing, i had previously asked everyone to check there order and make sure it was marked as paid and to contact me if it was,t to which you didnt do, when you did contact me, i replied as soon as i saw it, stating i was in hospital, and to contact me later and id get it sorted
as you know you ordered this set through ctrl alt, we have a sub forum, and in that sub forum, i posted the reason for my absence and updated it when i could
yes my account may have shown online at some points, that is because i came on to do that, not browse the forum, i came on, made an update post and left
and had much more important things to deal with
Actually I contacted you in June about the processing issue and was told it would be taken care of a while back.Quoteyeah no problem sir, we are just doing some updates to the site and itll
be sorted shortly

I did not issue a chargeback either. I opened a case via paypal, completely different than a chargeback. After 2 weeks of not hearing anything what am I supposed to do? Just hope and pray? Don't try and paint me as some evil person because I was concerned where my money went after not hearing anything.
These were emails from ctrlalt.io's site I assume any correspondence is public.
I didn't want details, just some sort of status, like myself and others in the thread were asking for. Even a "Hey we are getting orders sorted, no timeline as of yet, but we are on it".
There is no point in arguing, you've responded and gave an update, thats all myself and others have asked for.

perhaps read the thread then, where there are constant updates, and tons of people receiving sets on the previous page to here, so not only can you see we are updating, but you can actually see the movement happening

Right, but my order was (and still is gone) and no one had heard anything for over 2 weeks. Are you honestly trying to say I was out of line for asking on a status update when none has been given for weeks and my order was completely gone? I've read the thread..
Could you guys do this via PM or a court of law?

i would just like to say this, until reading this thread, all i knew about this was i had asked someone who emailed me to give me a little time as i was in hospital, and that they had gone and issued a chargeback, something i was already stewing about, then seeing this thread all came as a bit of a shock, i should have thought more before i spoke, but from my point of view what i said was justified, taking the time to read things properly and think from his point of view as well, id chalk this all down to a breakdown of communication
its been a very long and incredibly tiring and emotional few weeks

Thanks for the refund I appreciate it. Would have rather had the set, but its fine. I just want to make it clear I never issued a charge back, a charge back (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chargeback) is something done via credit card companies and I would have been refunded immediately.. however charge backs are pretty damaging.
thumbs up for the update bunny, and thankfully you made it throw that rough time.
as far communication goes .. its not your fault and i doubt someone is blaming you,
the majority here knew oneway or a other that YOU had a terrible time
cody could have been a little more "communicative" about the situation at least thats what the most of us "last" guys where hopeing for .
last status was "youll have a tracking id tomorrow"
a simple " we are waiting on sets comming back due to 'mistakes', will update in 2-3 weeks" would have been sufficient to put at least my worries and questions to rest.
call it a recomendation to consider for improvement
+ beeing a little worried at the first groupbuy, i guess everone felt that way at least once.
looking forward to get that awesome set to my doorstep
I understand frustrations with the delays but with someone like Bunny I'd feel pretty safe I wasn't getting scammed or screwed out of my money.
+1 on this - only make commitments you can fulfill ("these will go out today" type stuff) and if there is an issue just give us a simple heads-up, no need for lengthy explanations if you don't want, just a bit of communication goes a LONG way.
Thanks for jumping in Bunny.
Some internet guy trusts another guy on the internet +1. Definitely enough for me to be at ease with sums of money.

If you were so skeptical or had any doubt... why did you even join in the first place...? Either way, I'm just glad you got your refund so I can have your base set :D thanks!
there will be no round 2 :)
Could you guys do this via PM or a court of law?
i had been dealing with this privately, i hadnt seen the thread in a while, but as he chose to come and make all this public when i wasnt here to defend myself, its only fair that i get to respond now i am here
cody gets back from holiday late today/early tomorrow
this will be a priority to get wrapped up for the few outstanding orders
if anyone has any concerns or special requests
please pm me, i may be a bit slow to reply as its hard to get online with teh baby right now, but i will as soon as i ever can
thanks
spoke to cody, this should be being wrapped up or at least as close as is possible tonight or tomorrow
Cody: does this include my missing kits?
no return . it might pop up with a different profile(in a year or 2..) but certainly not saI vote for SS! ;)
I don't think we will have any more Retro in our lives.
i hope you packed the correct key in the last orders already ..
got my tracking id
thanks cody, bunny
Hot diggity dog!!! I got a tracking number. This is shaping out to be a awesome week.Well written! I totally agree. So once again I say thank you to all parties involved.
I too can seriously only imagine the amount of work that goes into every single one of these group buys. Imagine if just two boxes of thousands of pieces broke open and plastic bags were mixed together. Now imagine, just for a moment, you are the ONLY ONE in this sorting mess and you're still working your 50-60 hours every week, coming home beat and exhausted, now staring at boxes upon boxes of caps in big plastic bags and you're sitting there sorting out 200 pieces for ONE order. Now doing that 400 times! I think of that and then I think of the AMAZING CODY, working through this for FREE and then having to THEN deliver 200 boxes in his own car using his own gas and time to most likely hit up the post office on his Sunday and stand in line to get that one group shipment out the door.
So yeah, I get it, and I'm FOREVER GRATEFUL to CODY and BUNNY for taking this on each and every group buy. Seriously, I just hope these two gents don't ever grow old and feeble because I could never have the drive these two guys have.
Props and much RESPECT.
Peace
ctrlalt.io orders are 100% shipped.
:)
PM me and copy bunnylake if you had a PM/direct message order.
There will be a way to request missing keys via ctrlalt.io shortly. Your order history will be migrated soon too.

Can't wait to get the rest of my set!
Im going to post the following because it's been clawing at my back, and I want to post from a buyer's perspective. It seems we're getting complaints only from buyers. The thing is, SA Retro has been shipping for *months*. I've placed only a few orders through CtrlAlt, so I can't remember correctly, but you don't have to be a GH member to have ordered this set. Place the order and you're done.
Then some people start seeing sets on here, DT, Reddit, and elsewhere, and then they think, "Sweet! It's shipping!" A month or two passes and they still don't have anything. Judging by the post count of those who have been vocal about it, they may not be accustomed to long waits. A few months may not seem long to us, but to newer members that's a pretty long time.
Yes, keyboards are material, disposable things; Bunny has FAR more important things on his mind. But because it's his PP account that accepts payments, and he's sort of the face of CtrlAlt, some people probably don't know whom to file claims against, etc.
I bought someone else's order and received part of it. I'm just waiting for the missing pieces, but there are others who've bought hundreds of dollars worth of this stuff and haven't gotten any of it.
Then, when they're told to PM someone, they might get a vague answer or none at all. (Only going off what people have said.)
Nevertheless, the last sets have been sent and we can all calm down.
I have nothing against Bunny, Cody, CtrlAlt, etc. ;* I get that running a side business can take a toll. I sell things on eBay on occasion and just that can wear me out sometimes.
Just wanted to give a different perspective from the other side of the coin.
I get that running a side business can take a toll.
One thing though, related to this:I get that running a side business can take a toll.
This *really* isn't a business for them. I wouldn't be surprised if they are often (or always) in the hole money-wise. In this particular case, Matt3o needed someone to run the GB, and Bunny offered CTRL[ALT] to help. Without Bunny subsidizing many of these kits, they wouldn't have happened.

This is true, and I should have worded it differently. I just wanted to emphasize that they're not really doing it for profit--as you and several have mentioned, they're really not making money off this--but doing it as part of a community endeavor. They, like most of us, have jobs, families, and other activities that take precedence. I wanted to give my eBay experience as an example as I know how much effort it takes to have to sort and organize stuff to mail, and all that's doing is taking away what little personal time they have left.

Got my sets yesterday :D
Haven't had time to check everything yet but I did throw the Burgundy set on my Novatouch. Love it. Can't wait to get R4 shifts for it.

*sigh*
So I finally got my keycaps, but it seems Cody/Bunny made a mistake somewhere. I ordered two ISO kits, but got only one.
I have sent PM's and emails, but no reply yet. :-(

Hey any word on that key replacement form?
If this set would of had 1.25u keys for . / (and I thought to get a PETSCII kit :-[ ) it would have been perfectShow Image(http://i.imgur.com/CLNLfwP.jpg)

@codyeatworld : Could you please respond to my question about my missing order. sent pm's on Nov 3 and 23
Done :thumb:
Just shoot me a pm so I know what's going on and I'll talk to him about it and get back to you
So what case and plate colors do you guys think works with these caps? I'm having trouble deciding.
It was a long painful road but it sure is pretty :DShow Image(http://i.imgur.com/INF6PA6.jpg?1)

You got that right! What case is that? Is it made of bamboo?
Got a link?
Also, just wondering how long it'll take to have replacement and error orders fulfilled. I'm just waiting on a Burgundy Numpad.
Yes, yes, I know--PM Cody. However, I haven't gotten a response from my last two PMs, and I know others haven't either. :(
So posting this here as well to see if anyone has gotten their orders fixed. :)
Any updates on replacement caps for those that got misprinted, for example inverted semicolon in the Nordic ISO kit?
I have some extra kits for sale after picking out what I wanted from everything - message me if you're interested in any of it. Just looking to recoup costs but I did pay some extra taking over KHAANNN's order.
Pro Burgandy Mods
Colemake/Dvorak
ISO (maybe keeping this one, not sure yet)
2x Blank packs
Small spacebars
Apple kit
*sigh*
So I just got info from Cody that they don't have any spare ISO kits. I ordered two, but only got one.
Basically, I bought two of everything in order to use these keys on two keyboards. But now 50% of what I bought is basically useless.
Anyone got one ISO kit to spare? I'd like to buy one.

Hm, OK. Cody sent me a PM today, telling me that you didn't have any ISO kits left (even tough I paid for two, but only received one).
Hi everyone,
I waited very patiently for these keycaps and eventually got mine delivered in December, I was very excited when they arrived and started to put my keys onto my Poker II, I got to the second to last row to then find that the letter 'N' was missing. I finished putting the rest of the keys on and found there are a couple of duplicates and a badly moulded key (seems like these were thrown in as the last few as a sweetner for the missing key). I contacted Bunny a few times in December and he said that he would get a list together for the missing keys. I messaged him a couple of days ago and not heard from him.
I have waited patiently and it is really annoying that I have paid so much money and waited so long to have one missing key.
There doesn't seem to be any urgency to resolve this problem.
Does anyone have a spare 'N' key?
Cheers
Eddie
Just another friendly bump. I'm still waiting for the True Pro Mods that were missing from my order :rolleyes:

Hopefully Bunny's tease about February 20th will be a update to CTRLALT's support section to handle replacements etc.. ? :)
Or maybe i'm completely out of the loop on what that was all about :-[

I hate to beg but I am completely bummed I missed this.PM'd!
If there is any chance anyone has a True Retro or Burgendy set and want to sell or trade please let me know. I was on the c64 design team and have some neat goodies I could sweeten the pot with.
Really love the effort that went in to this and it would mean a lot to have these for a project I am working on for myself. Thanks!

Nah, totally worth it.

Yeah anything involving Cody has been marked for him in the support system, he's sick right now but will be on top of it as soon as he is better, if you haven't logged a support ticket do so as that is where we are doing all support from now to keep it in one place
....and I regret so much I didn't sell my my house to raise funds for the petscii set... :-(
If anyone, although highly unlikely, would like to part with their petscii set, please let me know. Cheers!
i need to check we have them all accounted for codys end, but if we do, i have a spare here i can part with
Only one spare? :-[

Am I one of those guys? Still missing whole order...support request already in place, and waiting to hear back. Wouldn't want the spares to be sold before it is taken care of though.. :(

Anyone heard anything about the inverted colon/period in ISO yet?Create a support ticket on ctrlalt.io and you will get it replaced. Received mine a couple of weeks ago.

I was just wondering if anyone would be interested to let go of their any of their PETSCII, Burgundy, numpad etc? You could drop me a PM and we can work it out.
As long as this message is not edited, I'll be accepting offers : D Thank you in advanced~

I can let go of my num pad...when I get it... :-*
Damn... the moment you realize that no one, including yourself, didn't realize all through the IC and GB that a key is in the wrong row...
(JD45 has landed - pro mods 1.25 tab is accidentally R2, and there is no 1.25 R3 key of anything in any kit... AND SP is out of R3 TBN blanks).
Did anyone ever grab one of these I could buy??
Were row 4 shifts ever ran for SA Retro or is Chocolatier going to be my best bet?

Not yet, but I heard they will be offered in the future by SP directly. At least, that was the latest when the molds were made.
hey guys, i know there are a couple poeple missing some replacement keys and the odd kit here and there
bro caps has received the keys from cody, and we have made a spreadsheet of all the odds and ends that need to go out, he will commence shipping on these once he has concluded shipping his current bro sale, so wont be long finally
sorry for my lack of updates in this thread, i didnt have it set for alerts in my tapatalk so has been out of site out of mind
if anyone is outstanding anything that hasnt made a support ticket on the site please do and i can get it added to the sheet
thanks
Is there any, even a slightly chance, that this set would be re-run?
We tentatively set a release date for round 2 in Summer 2018. It might very likely be postponed but at least you should know that we are in the right state of mind to re-run it.

I agree that the side-print SA Retro looks amazing. Just not a fan of typing on such a tall profile.
I do wonder if JTK could be the answer: they could maybe even do custom centered legends to match the original.
SA Retro is a (fabulous) tribute set for the C-64 keyboard and its spherical keycaps. Cylindricals are all wrong for that. They would just be a waste of good plastic.

can confirm - I have about a third of the alphas in my last grab bag. Its in production, and i suspect, like Nuke Data will go on their site directly. Just like Hana did in DSA recently.

Well **** me... 2018 is going to be a good year!
Dark red CA66 no the way... Hopefully I can pick up a set of these ooooohhh man that'd be perfect.
I think I'm already signed up for PMK's newsletter, but I'm signing up again anyway...
Nuclear data, too? I almost dropped a couple hundred bucks on someone's set the other day. Count me in for that, too!
Well **** me... 2018 is going to be a good year!
It was nowhere near $200... I misused "couple"...
I think Nuke Data at $200 is still super cheap for R1. R2 will likely be a similar cost anyway knowing PMKs recent prices for full sets and how much value will R1 really lose?

Could also be very old leftovers. Until half a year ago or so there still popped up some Danger Zone in the bags. Matt3o said SA Nuclear Data is in production now, and Retro will follow in Summer, I trust that info more for now.

Yeah, now they're past 3rd base I think it'd work too
I agree that a base kit with a "extras" novelty kit, spacebar kit, and ergo/planck kit is the way to go. The second, in my opinion, much more real reason the GMK drop flopped that has been all too common with Massdrop is when for whatever reason why, MD decides not to issue a pre release announcement or any notice at all and just expected the community to flock in and buy 250 MOQ.Interesting insight. I haven't been around long enough to witness the gmk retro flop, but this may also explain the mint dolch flop as well.
My opinion but, in general 250 is a pretty low number, and the community is still not big enough to buy in on custom sets that nobody knows is coming.
Be rational and let the community know what's expected and give us the courtesy to review the set and help it reach MOQ before the "drop". Group buys need support to be successful.
the problem is the double burgundy/brown options that doesn't let us group kits very well. GMK don't like that and I'm not willing to pick one. Retro is originally brown, burgundy should be just an accent (like arrow keys) but that option wouldn't be very popular.

...and also for some silly reason some people feel the need to say that this set must not be made in any profile other than spherical...
When all you're doing is copying a colorway, like say Dolch, it doesn't really matter what the profile is (cylindrical or spherical). After all, the profile of the original doesn't play a part in what makes it interesting or distinctive. But in the case of sets like Space Cadet or Retro, which are much more than just colorway exercises, then things like profile and legend style/placement take center stage, and it makes little to no sense to diverge from the original while still claiming to be in tribute/honor of it.
Yeah, the GMK iteration didn't really feel likeSA Retrothe Commodore 64. SA Retro has the profile and shape of the caps to make it feel like...GMK Retrothe Commodore 64. The PETSCII mods, all of it.

I prefer Cherry profile any day, but to me the only true version of the set is the SA profile. DSA and GMK are a no-go for me on it.

Isn't that beside the point though? Artistic freedom is already exercised even with the Retro set, so what makes it *require* a certain profile? What about people who just want that colorway and look but on Cherry profile and don't care that it's not perfectly original? Technically you can say that you must only put these on a beige keyboard too, or else it's not authentic enough. Might as well also toss all the burgundy and green accents from previous runs, because they aren't in the original colorway.

Anyone remember the prices? Trying to calculate in advance to ensure the proper funds are set aside.
I recall selling my Burgundy set, Lime extension, and extra spacebars for around ~$115, so that's what I'm targeting right now.

people who say that Retro must be SA seem to forget that the burgundy+brown+green colorway is actually inspired by the OPD PC (circa 1984).Show Image(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/5b/MerlinTonto.jpg)
that has a profile more similar to cherry than SA.
That being said Retro started as a C64 tribute (we even have the logo), that's why burgundy makes little sense.
Wow, thanks for this--I was wondering where the green and burgundy came from!
I'm going to continue campaigning for a burgundy/brown/PETSCII legends GMK set until it someday, maybe will make it on my keyboard. The very first set I wanted--and still want--since I started reading geekhack, back when the first DSA Retro GB was going on. Turned out I didn't like typing on DSA. However I'd rather type on DSA than on the wobbly, awkwardly tall SA on Cherry switches, even if they look all cool and retro.

Dixiemech did an awesome job on the GMK 9009 R2 just few months ago.
It's a very peculiar set, it always has been. DSA Retro did exceptionally well mostly because DSA was a novelty at the time.
I'm pretty confident that a GMK set wouldn't oversell, but if anyone is seriously interested in the endeavor, please contact me privately and we can discuss.
I believe that on GMK the color scheme should be something like the OPD PC I posted above. Mainly brown with burgundy splash and green accent (and no side legends).
DSA Retro is already booked and will be released in summer.

Hmm, can’t unsee the side print on the first GMK attempt on Massdrop...
Yep, it was part of the base kit:Show Image(https://massdrop-s3.imgix.net/product-images/gmk-retro-keycap-set/MD-31228_20161115110312_9be5930b6d8f1986.png?auto=format&fm=jpg&fit=crop&w=473&dpr=1)
I'd still love to see the kits before they go into production if all possible. Assuming the current plan is to rerun the old kits and the only change being PETSCII alphas only, I would suggest the following changes:I support this idea as well.
R2 Page Up and R3 Page Down added to pro-mods to accommodate modern 65% layouts, such as your whitefox.
FUNCTION instead of FN on 1.5u and 1.75u keys
CONTROL written out on 1.5u keys
IMO Space for legends should be used whenever possible and does not result in cramped text.Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/sZlyucB.png)
SA Retro is still gonna happen. I guess around the end of summer.
GMK Retro is under development. I don't think we can run both color ways so we are trying to come with something.
SA from pimpmykeyboard

Then, would it be FCFS for ready made keyset?
Like SA nuclear?

Yes, it's not ideal. They will never meet the demand :(
I'm not sure why we can't preorder the kits? This way they will produce enough kits for everyone.
We don’t want to do the pre-order thing again, that was too much for us to handle as our system isn’t set up properly for it. We know there is a ton of demand for SA sets. Right now we really just can’t commit to running stock stuff in SA, as we have too much in the backlog – pre-orders would require a commit date and that just isn’t possible right now.

I'd really just like the mods in the dark brown and the function keys in the grey as an option like the picture :). My personal preference would be to make it as close to the colors of the Commodore 64 breadbin. I'm sure everyone wants burgundy too though.
Does anyone have any idea's for Gray/Beige manufactured keyboard cases that could house the SA Retro Keycaps? It would look really nice I bet!

Stock Sets
Please do not email Melissa to find out when additional sets will be available. She will no longer be answering these emails. We will announce, either through an email or in "What's New", when sets will be available prior to putting them in inventory.
Contact form doesn't mention any Melissa (whoever that person is) and just says they are happy to answer questions. I am guessing people were spamming her direct e-mail with something annoying?

Interesting but no PETSCII codes. I think i'll wait on SP. I did however, pre-order the Western set a while back. I'm not fond of the novelties, but the brown and tan in the base set is something that I've wanted since day 1 of finding custom keycaps. Sure wish someone would do it in GMK as well.

So this just came up https://kbdfans.cn/collections/maxkey/products/maxkey-restor-sa-keycaps-set?variant=22092556730416 (https://kbdfans.cn/collections/maxkey/products/maxkey-restor-sa-keycaps-set?variant=22092556730416)
I’m tempted even though the kits aren’t great. Who knows when we’ll get an actual SP sale…

I hope Matt3o will make a rerun for Retro (and other his designs). Everyone deserves a chance to get a legit version. I appreciate your decision ;)
The page @Oblotzky linked got updated recently. A "retro" is happening but more of R3 uniform 1976 kind:

Sort of off topic, but is there a chance for an MT3 Retro? That would be pretty cool now that doubleshot ABS is a possibility.Yesssssss!!! That’d be freaking awesome!!

Still waiting for my Burgundy Num Pad from the original GB.
Has anyone heard anything new about R2 yet? Also just wanted to chime in that MT3 Retro with PETSCII would be amazing.
I'm a little late to the party, but is it possible that the SA keycaps that were manufactured were for this instead? https://retrogames.biz/the-c64

Not retro but check out snuci’s https://deskthority.net/viewtopic.php?t=18941
Any other news on this? I recently got this response which disheartens me a bit since we have been waiting a long time
"Thanks for the email! While this is still in production, we are a bit back logged in SA right now, so we still don't have these complete.
Sorry! "
I wonder what they are backlogged with :S

Well my interest was expressed, but the SP rep emailed me back with the sad news that they aren't planning to include the PETSCII keys in the run anyway TT_TT

Post from Drop discussion by u/kevinhb :then why not MT3 Retro?

The set you linked to is Maxkey not Signature Plastics. Very different!QuoteWell my interest was expressed, but the SP rep emailed me back with the sad news that they aren't planning to include the PETSCII keys in the run anyway TT_TT

Wow really? That's been on the market for a while now. I could buy them right now.Show Image(https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0097/4264/7347/products/O1CN013aURFM1aWqZ0gYwAG__2459583338_1200x1200.jpg?v=1566625618)

Different, but very comparable in my opinion. SP ABS SA keys are a tiny bit smoother.The set you linked to is Maxkey not Signature Plastics.

MT3 Retro now that doubleshot is fully up and running? :p :p :p
Just wanted to revive this thread and post this here, seen on Drop! There needs some support for brown modifiers and alphas to replicate a proper C64 breadbin colorway. If anyone hasn't seen this, please let it be known that this set looks like is going to happen!

Where has this comment to upvote been made? Can't find in the main product discussion for some reason.
Does anyone have any proof of this round 2 talk?
Just received my order from signature plastics. Haven’t ordered from them directly for a couple of years, when did they start packing the keycaps shrinkwrapped like this instead of in bags like they always have done before?

I've been wanting this set since I got into keyboards, but, now I don't even know what I'd put it on. I already have more keysets than keyboards.
