SOLD OUT
So, after much ado and hoopla, I present to you the last freely available Starcraft 2 keycaps and the half dozen Portal keycap sets still available until hopefully another round is started. At least I'm pretty sure Portal will be run again lol.
As many of you already know, after the last round of SC2 orders were placed and were already on their way to us, Signature Plastics decided that they were unable to continue manufacturing them in good conscience after considering copyright issues with Blizzard. Other materials have a stronger case against being copyrightable, but these symbols are of Blizzard's original design and due to that they will never be made again. Being that every other keycap manufacturing company we are aware of outsources their doubleshots to SP, that effectively assures that these are the last of their kind. Since that is the case, their value has increased significantly from when they were ordered in the original group buy. It would be extremely stupid of me not to consider this, and I have. Given their extremely limited quantity, their prices are as follows:

All 1x (Esc) sized SC2 keys: $8.00 each
Updated 12/31/11
SOLD OUT
All 1.25x (Modifer) size SC2 keys: $8.50 each
Portal Keycap set: $40.00 SOLD OUT[/B]
I will be updating the OP as each race and kind sells out, so if there isn't a notification in the OP of a particular keycap being gone for good, then they are still available. They will not last for long.
If you want to work out some sort of package deal for a significant order, a small discount may be given... but it isn't going to be like buy 2 get one free.
Shipping is extra, but cheaper because I'm not charging the $1 fee for my work this time around.
US Options:
$3.50 Bubble Mailer (Preferred)
$5.20 For a flat rate box that may be necessary if you order a large quantity of keys.
Canada Options:
$5 US dollars. Bubble Mailer
$14 Flat rate box Flat rate boxes to Canada aren't significantly cheaper than international flat rate box rates.
I will be mailing them from the US this time, so expect them to ship out with the rest and take its sweet time through customs like every other international buyer has to deal with.
International:
$9 Bubble envelope
$15 flat rate box
Bubble mailers are cheaper for everyone and easier for me to deal with, so if possible I'd prefer everyone to opt for those.
Paypal fees:
3% + $0.30 and is calculated in the invoicing. If you must gift it, arrangements must be made via PM.
Sample Order:
1x
1 Protoss
2 Terran
3 Zerg
1 Random
1.25x
4 Protoss
2 Terran
6 Zerg
2 Random
1x Portal
Country: US
Shipping: Bubble
Paypal Email: An.email@googlemail.com (Hipster email domain)

Doesn't this belong in the Classifieds? Five posts for the same caps seems kind of excessive in the Group Buy area, Dave.
-
I looked in the classifieds section, there isn't a single one that is leftovers from a group buy and several in this section selling leftovers... So that's where it seems to belong.
-
The reason there isn't a post about selling leftovers is because nobody has a metric ****ton of leftovers.
However, you do often see people selling their RD3 sets and what not in the Classifieds.
-
1x
1 Protoss
1 Zerg
1 Random

I wouldn't call about a dozen or so of each kind a metric ton of leftovers...

PM sent.

Really wanted 2 Protoss modifiers but shipping kills it for me ($26 incl. shipping to UK) Hmm..

So expensive.... so tempting.

PM'd.

wow I feel dumb for not buying that Portal set at the group buy rate D: guess I'll wait for a Round 2 of that one
-
would love a protoss one but $11.50 shipped? wow.
just got into this whole mech keyboard thing.

Note that these are more expensive than usual because they are the last of their kind, due to legal issues. :-/
Typical single-key group buy price is more like $2-$5.

Is "Welcome to geekhack!" a motto?
Yeah, Actually I've got some relatives (not really close relatives) in China. I've asked my mom to ask them If they know any factories where we may be able to do them. (Sorry for this part of the comment, I have no idea where the original part of "Outsource to china" discussion is. Don't count on it. These are 99% probability the last batch of nice doubleshot SC2 keys.

PMed. Forgot to mention it in thread.

? Didn't get one yet.

I've got 12 Terran 1x keys left. More than that for the rest. I will be shipping paid orders tomorrow.

I had to give in. If these are the last starcraft keys I can't let them slip by me.

Just curious, did PS get some sort of warning from Blizzard's legal team? or PS simply isn't feeling comfortable about it?

Hmm, really? I just sent you another PM.

Any chance I could get just the aperture and portal falling man keys only?

I only want the cake and companion cube!

I'll leave individual key sales to everyone else who bought extras/doesn't want those keys. Many members have gotten their keys by now so if you want a particular keycap or to I suggest throwing up a WTB thread in the classifieds section.
5 of my original 8 Portal sets left btw.
To new orders for keys, I have class in a bit but after I will be sending out invoices. If you pay in a timely manner today, I will ship them out with the other orders I've gotten so far.
-
Scratch mailing them out today, way too much homework and stuff.
I'll get them out tomorrow. Sorry guys.
-
I don't think 1 day delay will hurt that much ^__^;;
-
I'll take
1.25x
2 Protoss
2 Terran
2 Zerg
US shipping

If Blizzard knew about this, they would almost certainly sue. They sue anyone, for anything they can, and usually win. SP is smart not to push their luck, as they are probably not making much money of this and stand to lose a lot.
-
Can I have order information, like a tracking # or estimated time of arrival?
-
Us orders next wed to thurs, international next week to the week after. Everyone that has paid has had their orders mailed.
-
PM Sent
-
All portal sets have been spoken for. Barring anyone failing to pay, they are gone.

Just in case you're checking your mail on Thanksgiving, it probably won't be there until Friday or Saturday :)
-
Do you have something like tracking numbers or can you tell when I can expect the delivery? I will be at work I think and need to tell my neighbour to pick up the parcel.
-
do you still have the portal keycaps ?
-
Tracking numbers on mass orders is really difficult to keep track of since I'd have to link the address to the number and there are several orders that have the same city and stuff. The parcel is small enough that they're just going to put it in your mailbox unless you straight up don't have one.

You shouldn't be ashamed, but proud.

Are there any more on sale and do these work for all keyboards?
-
There are more SC2 keycaps for sale, and they only work on Cherry MX keyboards.

Ragnorock did you get my pm?
-
I'm on vacation for Thanksgiving so I've gotten several PMs that I haven't had time to send invoices to collect money for, sorry about that. I will be getting to that when I stop being dragged around the Canadian countryside by my girlfriend while we see family over and over again. >.>
I will make a post saying that I've sent out invoices to everyone, if you do not get one by that point, then feel free to harass my inbox some more. :P

Sry about that man haha. I was just wondering. Have a nice trip
-
I'd like to buy
2x Terran 1.25
And 1x Terran, zerg, Protoss, random esc size
edit* sent pm with this info. Sorry I think I may have sent two pms. By mistake.
-
I'm interested in
1x
1 Terran
1 Zerg
1 Protoss
I've sent you a PM.
-
How many extras did you get? clearly it was a lot more then you originally listed on the front page, while that has been edited I have an overall idea of how many you posted.
I had no problem with you selling the keys at a higher price, and still don't. You were justifying it because they were rare now and it's not like you got that many extras.
EVEN if you did get a ton extra I would have no problem with you charging a premium, but now I just feel like i've been lied to sadly.
-
I had between a dozen and 20 of each kind for the most part. I'm running out obviously, but I'm just now sending out invoices for the second run of them since I was gone all last week and I have all the other gb stuff going on too.
-
Okay, 1x Terran, Zerg, and Random keys are all either sold out pending payment, or have 3 or less left. There are people that have expressed interest in them but have not paid. In order to avoid multiple people paying for keys, I am not accepting new orders for those keys until that has been settled. Everything else has ~10 or more.
I need paypal emails and the other info from the following buyers:
Tapk69
Crezai (Needs to tell me what he wants too)
Expired (Same boat as Crezai)
Th3st (Same boat as Crezai AND Expired)
-
pm sent for x1.25 1protoss and 1zerg caps if they're still available :>

^ at the 2 last posts, I'll get you invoices out later today, and if you pay them by Sunday I'll get them shipped out on Monday with the most recent wave. I got my new box of bubble mailers in, so they will ship out on Monday as planned.
-
Paypal invoice comes by email and i click on it and then it's the usual paypal process? if yes, i'm pretty sure i'll pay them by sunday :D
-
Yep. :3
-
Just sent invoices to byFd and Obsidian, the only ones aside from them that haven't paid are Monja and Creizai. Need payment by Sunday night or you don't get yours shipped on Monday.
FYI Monja ordered a Portal set and Creizai a Terran keycap... meaning if they don't pay then there will be one of each of those freed up for others to buy. If I don't get a PM or payment from either of them by Monday then their keys go back up for grabs.
Oh and Expired you haven't even told me what you want yet or any of your info.
-
Received my Portal set today. I am pretty happy now :). Thought about keeping them in the bag instead of using them but can't resist.
-
Sorry guys, didn't get to the post office today, I have everything packaged and ready, I just was too busy with school to get there. Taking it there tomorrow around noon. Should be there sometime next week for US, and sometime this month for International. XD
-
Still haven't gotten mine its been 3 weeks, and I'm located in the US ugh :|
reaper sent me something last Thursday and I got it on Saturday.
-
Bummer. I'll send you some replacements tomorrow.
-
Okay everything mailed out today, USPS said they'd be there by Friday, but that seems a bit optimistic. Anyways, get your orders in now, I'm running out of keys. I still have a fair amount of modifier keys but almost no Esc keys now.

No more escapes? Time to make some money... muhahahaha
-
Actually I still have a decent number of Protoss 1x keys (9), but only 2 Zerg and 0 Terrans. That guy who bought 14 Terran keys should sell his like now lol.
-
lol indeed.
-
<3
-
Find out anything with the post office?
No package here today still, I'm no longer hopeful for it :(
-
double check the address you sent him?
-
We did, I sent out replacements to him already. LMK if they turn up ofc.
-
excuse my n00bness, you can scold me after this post lol, as i don't completely know all the terminologies yet.
i want to buy a terran, zerg, toss, and random key cap for the F5, F6, F7, and F8 keys at the top for a leopold tenkeyless mx blue. those F keys are 1x and not 1.25x correct? the last post says that you ran out, but the OP says that you still have a few in all sc2 races and sizes. if you still have them, i'd like to buy those 4 i listed :)

The F row are 1x. The 1.25x would be keys such as Ctrl and Alt. I'm pretty sure Rag is just too busy to sort out the OP. Take the last post, it's probably most updated, in which case he ran out of some of them. Try asking in the classified sections. There are people with extra sets, willing to sell at the right price ; p.
-
Hazel is correct, sorry I forgot to update the OP.
-

You're beyond awesome!
-
Hazel is correct, sorry I forgot to update the OP.
I'm always right, unless I'm wrong. Then I'm incorrect.
-
You're beyond awesome!
I'm just glad I still had leftovers of what you ordered!
-

-
Ragnorock, you didn't mention anything about protoss or random, you only listed zerg as available and terran is out. do you still have protoss and random in the 1x size?
-
If I haven't said it is out or nearly out, I have some to go around still. The only ones I'm completely out of are Portal keys and 1x Terran keys (Escape key size) As of this five mins I only have 1 1x Zerg key, and the rest I have a decent amount left. I particularly have a good amount of modifier keys left.
-
Got my keys today, thanks!
Look even better in real life :)
-
Got my keys today, they came nice and quick :D
-
Thanks Ragnorock, got my keys and my new filco ninja tkl on the same day :D
The contrast on these keys are amazing! Look so much better up close!
-
Got my keys as well a few days ago. They're very nice!
-
Bump, going to be posting these elsewhere soon, as well as letting Reddit know about it. Get them while you can.
Paid orders will ship out tomorrow.
Those would be:
HPOT
GenkiGavin
Bastii
WhiteFireDragon
Currently have
8 Protoss Esc
4 Random Esc
5 Protoss Mods
8 Terran Mods
14 Zerg Mods
17 Random Mods (Lol nobody wants random)
Its funny because Random is by far the rarest, oh well.
-
If the International delivery wasn't $9, I would've snapped 2 Protoss modifier keys up.
-
so $8 for esc and 8.5 for mod?
+ 3.5 for US shipping?
got any protoss left? and I just send the payment to your paypal email?
thanks!
-
Send me a PM with what you want as per the instructions in the OP, and I'll get you some. I do have Protoss in both sizes left.
That's pretty much it with the prices though. Paypal fees aside.
-
17 Random Mods (Lol nobody wants random)
Its funny because Random is by far the rarest, oh well.
Ill still buy 2 T mods and 2 random mods for 5 ea ;). Help ya get rid of randoms
-
Latest round of orders have just been shipped out, expect them hopefully before Christmas in the US, and Sebastian yours probably won't get there till Jan. lol.
-
Would the shipping to the UK really be $9 for 2 keys? I was looking to get the 2 Protoss modifiers for around $20-$22 shipped.
-
Received my keys. They really do look better in the flesh! Cheers Ragnorock.
-

yay raising my hopes mine will be there when i get home =]
-
Got mine too! Thanks mate :)
-
yeah, mine came in today too =]
-
Received my keys, thank you.
-
i sent payment on Dec 8, still haven't gotten it yet as of the end of today :(
is there some kind of tracking number for my package?
-
From what I heard from USPS, your stuff should be there tomorrow if you're in the US, who knows when for the one international.
-
PM Sent.
-
Received my keys in the mail yesterday. They look great!
Happy holidays everyone!
-
it looks like mine wasn't shipped out until after some people already got theirs, but i did finally get them. and yeah they do look great!
-
That isn't possible. I shipped the latest round all at once, it was just that it shipped on Monday because the post office was closed Saturday. If someone got them before the ship date it was because they bought them in an earlier wave.
-
So you still have Toss ESC keys right?
-
A couple I think, I need to double check stuff tomorrow to make sure before I commit to any more. I'm now out of modifier protoss though for sure.
-
i'd be interested in what the current inventory is, may buy some that you can ship with my triforce buys
-
Yeah I think I'll purchase a Toss ESC key. I need a third toss ESC to complete my collection. :P
-
Updates tomorrow. Will let everyone know in here and be dealing out keys in the order I've gotten the PMs in. I had one guy order over $100 in keys so I'm significantly lower in counts.
-
Any updates?
-
Didn't have time to post earlier but I sent out invoices to everyone in the next round. I'm now out of toss mods and have 3 toss esc left. Low on terran mods too but not sure exactly. Next round will ship out tomorrow or sat with more updates then. I have a fair number of unsold randoms, particularly mods, so new special, buy 2 randoms of either size mix and match for $14!
-
OP updated, leaving to go mail the current round of orders now. See the yellow text in the OP for currently remaining quantities. Almost out of everything except Randoms guys. get em while you can!
-
Noob question: do the keycaps fit on a Leopold keyboard?
-
Yes they do!

got my keys today, thanks!
Great to hear, I get really stressed with international orders since they take so long to get there.
-
I don't get it how it takes so long for some peoples orders. I got mine like 5 days after the shipping date D:
-
Hi Ragnorock,
Any news on whether the latest round of keycaps were shipped on Friday or Saturday?
-
Saturday, not sure how shipping to Hawaii goes though.
-
Awesome, thanks for the confirmation. Seeing as how Monday was a holiday, they should be here by the end of the week. Will let you know how it turns out!
Saturday, not sure how shipping to Hawaii goes though.
-
I'm new to this so I just want the 3 races where prtsc, scroll lock and pause go. II guess that's the 1x?
-
They're all gone. All I have left are modifier keys and random 1x keys. I got one more buyer so I'm shipping the latest round out tomorrow. Should be there early next week.
-
Got my set in today. They're gorgeous, all of my friends are quite envious. Thanks for the great opportunity, Ragnorock!
-
pmed
-
Oh, just wanted to say that I mailed them out as planned today. And I got my red keycaps for my 91UDK-G Pictures soon, its gotta be the only set in NA. :D
-
do you still have any 1x sized terran or protoss keys left?
-
Nope. Check the OP for the most up to date quantities.
-
I havent received the keys , its been a month and a half since i paid this ... got keys from other places in a week , but america is always special..
-
PM sent :D
-
Noob Question: Besides giving you my paypal email what do I have to do to pay?
-
Send me all the info requested in the OP, such as your name and address so I can ship it to you, as well as your preferred shipping method. You did everything right, sending you an invoice now.
Edit: So I've sent out invoices to everyone I haven't already shipped stuff previously, and will ship some stuff tomorrow or Sat if everyone pays... but for some reason I seem to be thinking that there was someone who wanted a couple of Zerg modifiers that I can't find in my PMs... if you wanted some of them but never received an invoice then please send me another PM please.
-
Another noob question. I'm Sorry for being such trouble, but where should I receive my invoice? I checked my Paypal email as well as my forum email, and that's not in either of them. Maybe on the Paypal account itself? Thank you for the speedy response to my last question.
Edit: through a little google searching I learned that all invoicing is done through Paypal and should show up in my Paypal email. I will wait patiently for my invoice to arrive.
-
Usually it'll end up with a email in the email of your paypal account. I never went to check paypal first, but it might show up there as well.
-
Sorry looks like I forgot you when sending out all the invoices last night. I knew I forgot one! Just sent it.
Thanks for letting me know, that is what I was looking for when I posted that!
-
Thanks, the invoice has been received and payed.
-
I now have 1 random esc key left, the only keys remaining are that and some Zerg and Random modifiers. 7 Zerg mods and 13 Randoms to be precise.
Sorry about the delay fishfood, have been waiting for some more keycap orders to ship out so I don't have to drive across town to ship just one or two. Should be shipping them on Monday.
Dave
-
Don't worry about the delay. I've been busy with school so its not a problem. Thank you for the update.
-
Just received my key, and I am very happy with it. Thank you.
-
Yay! Thank you!
-
What keycaps are still left, if any?
-
Random modifiers only, please see this thread, its the current one:
