It's quite common for international shipments tend to require a phone number. Even shipping stuff from Canada to the US requires the buyers phone number.

Roger that—makes sense. Thanks!

Also if you're worried about them sharing it, just get a Google Voice number and hand that out. I only give trusted sources my real phone number.

Wanna order this, anything special other than follow the order link and put my username from here on it?  I really like this set, it would be my first, I really hope we can make 150!

P.S. Noob here, what would be a good board to put these on -- do they fit anything or only certain boards?

Just put in all the info and wait for the invoice! After that it's waiting for a bit if we hit MOQ (let's do it guys!) 
As for special boards, they'll fit anything. IMO, they're really nice on tilted boards

not sure how new you are... but to be sure, these are mx-stem caps. that means that this will work on keyboards that use cherry switches, gateron switches, kailh switches and outemu switches. the underside of the keycaps have a little plus sign insert that fits into a matching shape on the stem of the switch.

also note that the first picture in the first post notes "r1", "r2", etc. those are row orientations. these keycaps have different shapes for each row orientation and are generally only used in those configurations. so if you have a dvorak layout, you wouldn't be able to orient the keycaps in a way that the shape profile of the keys would match the row orientations perfectly.

these keycaps will orient correctly on  full size keyboards (104/108 keys), tenkeyless keyboards (84, 86, 87 keys), and 60% keyboards. i think the additional keys included in the set also covers other keyboard types but i'm not sure which ones exactly are covered. you can ask here if your particular keyboard would be properly covered and i'm sure someone can help you out.

What do you NEED my phone number for? I get enough cold calls as it is.
In some countries (like China, where MAXKEY is from), post service NEEDs phone numbers to deliver stuffs. I think that's why OP marks this compulsory.

Calm down, he won't make expensive international calls to you.

I'm calm—just struck me as odd. I'm obviously not worried that OP will call me, that would be dumb. Without explanation, I was worried that he would sell my phone number.

Don't worry about it.  She said is right.

Thanks guys (Sparkyman215, bciamny)! I have a CM Storm QuickFire Rapid MX Brown and currently typing on a Logitech G610 MX Brown. I ordered all sets but seems unlikely that we'll hit 150 on anything other than the main set at this point, we'll see.  As far as a keycap puller, I'll have to find one of those on my own somewhere right?

Are there some blank (keycap-less?) boards you guys buy, or do you buy the usual suspects and just change the keycaps?  I much prefer Cherry MX Brown and not really interested in switching to anything else at this point (I also have MX Reds on a couple of boards but don't like them for typing).

the quickfire is a solid keyboard and it has standard key sizing so it should work well with this set. i think the g610 has a nonstandard bottom row and may not work cleanly with this keycap set.

you can check out massdrop to see the various kind of enthusiast keyboard options there are. a lot of the group buys on this forum don't come with keycaps. kind of the norm really. cherry mx browns are considered tactile switches so they have a little bump when you press them. if you like that, there are bunch of other switches by other companies that offer a similar experience for various prices and with small changes to the feeling of the bump and how hard you press to actuate a switch. it can get overwhelming with the variety we are begining to see.

you bring up a good point... tehao, for those that have already paid invoices that include kits that don't make moq, are you planning to issue partial refunds?

gotcha. I can see what you mean, the keys are a little smaller on the G610 than on the quickfire. just as well as the G610 is backlit which wouldn't really work with this set.

q: a few years back I got a corsair tkl w/ mx reds, at that time rings seemed to be a popular option (especially for reds, which are billed as being for gaming). is this still a thing, and does it apply to typing-oriented switches like the mx browns?

excellent, thanks -- makes sense. seems like cherry mx is the brand name, I'm very happy with the quality and don't mind paying a little extra, hope to be able to find boards with them. I will start getting into alternatives slowly, I wish modular boards where you can change out the switches were a thing.

hey, looks like we did it! feels great that my first kc buy will happen! because I really like it too (I actually lived in Miami for a number of years and it's a bit nostalgic).

i don't know much about rings but from what i know they're generally used to quiet  the downstroke of keys to make an overall quieter typing experience. is that why you'd want them? they also shorten the distance traveled by a key when pressed as well.

there are a few keyboards that offer "hotswappable" sockets. this means you can plug in and remove mx-type switches (cherry, gateron, kailh, and outemu). for example. massdrop ran a drop with  input club called the k-type that had a lot of great features like hotswapping, rgb leds, aluminum case, usb-c, etc. there are other options available too.

feel/shape wise they're identical.

the only notable difference for Maxkeys is they don't have all the molds that SP can offer as well as the fact that their kerning is a little wonky on some keys like SHIF T & BACK SPACE but besides that they're a completely comparable alternative.

MaxKeys have a matte-smooth finish... It's not as smooth as Signature Plastics SA, but it's not super rough either.

GBs are commonly either on doubleshot which is on ABS and dyesubs on PBT (most of it anyway). There are few exception though but they are on their infancy. But there's no mention on the OP, so just based it from the manufacturers previous buys and since this light legend on dark keys then its doubleshot (again there might be exception).

try to search about "Maxkey SA" on geekhack or r/mk and read about what people tell about it.
Or you can try to search on taobao/aliexpress/kbdfans for other Maxkey SA keyset. the specs will be exact same (unless the color combination ofc)

Hi, guys

After I asked, modify the mold done in September. I do not want this because the timeline will be delayed.
Miami night has started production and will soon be shipped.
If you can not accept it, you can apply for a refund before 8/10.
I'm very sorry.
