All the keys have the same profile, then you can move any key around, and there will be a set with extra homing keys. Just check if they fit your preferred layout.
Sorry if I missed in the other thread, but can you show the thickness of these caps?

You may use one of the alternate 1.75u keys in the icon pro set.I can live with that. ;D
This is one great looking set. matt3o has really outdone himself on this one.
I'm reading that DSA caps are quite tight on the stems.
Anyone has any input on this? As long as I don't break my stems I'm alright I guess
I'm really into Topre and would like to minimize MX stuff but I can't resist the pull of this color and that it is PBT! Oh man!!
Thanks for pulling this together matt3o - I've been following in IC thread as well and appreciate the community input to make this happens.

hhkb option?
I've added the list of all kits (you better maximize your browser window) and cleaned up the thread a little
I really wonder how much this set will end up costing. Hopefully I can afford it... would be nice to try DSA.

yes, you need the common kit anyway. Common + cyrillic + text or icon mods. What do you mean by "other variants"?

matt, this is the first time i'm joining SP's groupbuy. i'm wondering though, seeing that the shipping charges increases per kit quantity, is there any way to get cheaper shipping via bulk order?
Still Alabama...
So the common kit is the only one that has price tiers?
Why?
bang-good?! oughtta be the best ecommerce domain name.Chinese... there are some strange people there :) Still, you can get a good bang for your money there ;D

It'd be great if the kits/packs/child sets or whatever they are called were tiered priced as well.

The Group Buy has officially started! 3 weeks to go!
Thanks to all who helped me designing the set and to Melissa (SP) and Tyler (pimpmykeyboard website maintainer).
Wow the blank sets.
That's quite a big difference in price between 15 and 25 isnt it?

You mean the blue one? I'm planning on getting Ergodoxian but won't use that Enter, so I could send it to you.
[edit]
Maybe I should add that I am looking for the 1.5u tab key on its own, from the text modifiers set.

mod prices are pretty steep, whoa :) my order is for 200+ dollars, at current tiers lolYep. Mods ain't cheap :)
How does the GB website work? Do we pay for the order first and get refund later when a tier is reached?

At 25 tier all kits are very reasonably priced. Let's see if we can meet the 50 tier for the mods and 100 for the common kit
Let's try to reach high tier on the Nerdom kit, 18 Novelty keys to feed the nerd in you.

yes, all DSA. Why? I saw that the same key is available elsewhere but honestly we started talking about this set months ago.Chill, I am not interested in making any Blue Sun logo keycaps. I am an opportunistic gentleman and will be waiting for Ivan set.
Anyway the Nerdom kit is not 100% final.What do you mean 'not 100% final?' The Group Buy has officially started, and people are placing orders...how is it not final?
Can one purchase additional kits after the initial checkout? I want to get some kits now to provide support for their tiers, but I am on the fence about some (nerdom...)

You can buy individual mods later, and we will just package your order together upon completion of the group buy.

Wouldn’t it make more sense to separate the letter/character blanks from the modifier blanks, in case someone wants legends for just modifiers or just letters?
Awesome set. Just wanted to give someone in charge of the website that when you open the link for modifiers, http://www.pimpmykeyboard.com/deals/granite-icon-modifiers/, the bottom part of the image doesn't show so it doesn't show all the 1.25 mods and the shifts. This confused the hell out of me until I viewed the image in a new tab. My zoom was at 100%, and zooming in and out didn't help the issue.
this is my first group buy
is this how the response is normally like?
The IC thread showed alot of interest. Maybe this needs more advertising or something.
Or maybe people are just being passive with their cash and waiting for other people to place the order to see the price go down to a level they want before placing theirs

Will this have a link in the group buys section? It really needs one, especially to hit the better price points.
So if I'm understanding correctly if what I want now is say $200 I need to have $200 available to be put on hold in my PayPal even if it will maybe drop to say $125 total later on?
2 common sets, 2 text mods, 1 lost & found, 1 blue enter, 1 text RGB, 1 text pro mod, 1 numpad, 1 Ergo, 1 pissed off wife.

The mods have already made it clear SP buys will go in SP subforum.

That is bull****. I hate the double standards around here. I also wish there was an easier way to commit to SP buys so more people could order and hit lower tiers sooner to promote more orders.

This set doesn't have the hype Toxic has, neither has the GB (or IC) been running anywhere near as long (Toxis was more than 12 months, closer to 18 months).
Also DSA is not necessarily everyone's cup of tea, but PBT should entice a few sitting on the fence to partake.
So if I'm understanding correctly if what I want now is say $200 I need to have $200 available to be put on hold in my PayPal even if it will maybe drop to say $125 total later on?
Correct. $200 will "disappear" (put on hold) until SP processes the correct pricing. After that, the remaining funds will be returned to your Paypal account.
The Macross set GB worked just fine, so no worries on this.

Except I missed the deadline by hours because it wasn't in the group buy section and they wouldn't let me participate after an email request. Makes me think that extras will be sold on their web site above the group buy price. I really want these buys through SP to work, but the extra hoops to jump through and lack of visibility hurt pretty bad.
The icon modifiers ($59) is the same as the icon pro modifiers ($45)? Can I just get the $45 to complete my TKL set? Or is the pro and addition to the base mod ($59)?

Someone should do a Mock up with text mods and icon mods to compare 8)
I hope it hits 50 so I can double up on base and mods!!!
Take her out for a dinner ;)
Could anyone point me to some examples of dye sublimated keycaps or sets previously made by Signature Plastics, please? If any of them are DSA--even better!
For those like me who doesn't have a Pay Pal credit, whereby any Pay Pal transaction is charged directly to my credit card, what happens if the price of the base is reduced. Do we get a refund? I believe Pay Pal will charge immediately instead of hold on, in this case. This has caused me pause to proceed with checkout. Anyone with the experience?I too have my VISA directly attached to the paypal account. I believe the funds will be taken immediately from the VISA, and the discount put back once the deadline is met. Or maybe put on the paypal account, for you to transfer back to your VISA manually.

If that is the case, isn't it better to go with minimum and then add more kits when the price changed?
Or just wait a while - but waiting means that less people order and the price would not go down.
[I am pretty sure this set orders will be in the hundreds. I do not want to compare it with other successful GBs but I think this is really special, not based just on colors, but due to the material, and design.I want to believe, but the hit to visibility this GB will have might prevent it from reaching those lofty tiers.
So if I'm understanding correctly if what I want now is say $200 I need to have $200 available to be put on hold in my PayPal even if it will maybe drop to say $125 total later on?
Is there any way to double check your order? The "My Purchases" page is basically useless. I just want to be able to track the price as more people order.

I got the email for this set today -- awesome looking, I might get into this! The only problem -- the email message doesn't contain a link to the site! *tsk*tsk* -- how are people going to impulse buy keycap sets without a link in the email? They have to type the address into their browser. Too, too, long! :p

Otherwise express interest = commit = money given?
if only the groupbuy adopts a method almost similar to Massdrop's where people get to commit their purchase at the highest tier.
their commit purchase doesn't reflect to the actual purchase until the total number of actual purchase and commit purchase reaches the highest tier.
just throwing some suggestion here.
but for this case, we know deep inside that the highest tier is very hard to achieve.
maybe SP can adopt an almost similar method where the commit option is at tier 50, seeing that tier 50 is where most kit's price drop to a reasonable price.
or another one is to have the commit option actively change to the next tier when the actual and commit reaches to the closest tier.
for eg, when actual purchase is 10, next tier is 25, the commit option lets people commit their purchase at tier 25's price. when the commit number reaches 15, the current tier price is now 25 and commit option lets people commit their purchase at tier 50's price and repeat.

The way the group buy website is organised, it does not encourage people to put in orders. I don't know about other people, but I will not take the risk of spending $200 on this set. I will only pull the triger after next tier is reached. If the website runs like massdrop, I will put in my order right away.

I think i'll order now but less than i want.I'm not sure I get what you mean?
This SP way seems to me more a gambling, where they earn without taking any risk, than a GB or a sell.
Why would be the buyer to take the risk?

What risk are we taking, as buyers?
I mean, if you're one of those that absolutely does not want to pay full price, then I guess there is a risk you might end up doing so, but if you're like me, the higher tier discounts are more of a bonus, and the only risk there is is that maybe the kits I want don't make MOQ.
So, I assume it it okay for one person (say, me) to buy multiple sets of a child kit to meet the MOQ? Because if a certain set doesn't meet its minimum, I'd make it happen. As crazy as that is, that's how much I like this design and the work put into it. :thumb:
Have any of you ever ordered small run custom parts? This is a steal even at the first tier prices. I for one have put my money where my mouth is.

THis is hard.. Do I want blank, ansi, iso, cyrillic, nordic.. eep so many good choices. :thumb:
If a child offer doesnt tip is it still made? Im a noob to keyset GB's. I only want this if the ISO gets made.

Correct if any of the kits don't make the first tip they will not get made. There is still plenty of time though. I figured the ISO stuff would have tipped by now being Matt has been showing this on DT also.
I don't want to speak for Matt, but I guys if some of the kits haven't tipped by the deadline he could ask for more time. However that is up to him to ask.

for eg, when actual purchase is 10, next tier is 25, the commit option lets people commit their purchase at tier 25's price. when the commit number reaches 15, the current tier price is now 25 and commit option lets people commit their purchase at tier 50's price and repeat.
What color of red is being used from the pbt color chart?
Untipped kits: I can't speak for SP, but if Skull Squadron has to be taken as model, I bet that if the GB goes well they won't mind adding the less fortunate kits to the manufacturing line.

Thanks, placed my order but was so happy with ISO and £ signs that I ordered the base, space bar, ISO and multi UK kit and then I forgot text modifiers (as I am an idiot).
How do I modify my order to add the text modifiers?
order can be cancelledWhere and how?

just place a new order with the mods, it will be merged.
order can be cancelledWhere and how?
Excessive and/or SPLady: It may be too soon to talk about it, but it would be a way to switch sets in the final order? For example: If someone that originally ordered the text mods, that wants instead the icon mods. Better sooner than later ;D
Yea this ist really interesting. If the international kit for german doesn't get tipped, i don't want to buy anything else... How will they handle this? I already placed my order with everything in it...

I would greatly appreciate an answer on this. The point here relates with the alternate sets, mods sets in particular, not reaching MOQ, or reaching a tier with higher prices. Then, some options may be provided for the people to choose the cheaper option, or just to change from text to icons, or the opposite.
I'm a bit surprised about the blank kits. They have been asked vehemently and nobody is taking them. Already at the first tier is a bergain ($89 for a FULL PBT set, including spacebar!), but at 15 tier is a steal!

i think the problem with SP's system is, and where others have mentioned also in this thread (i didn't check the macross thread as i didn't purchase the set, so i didn't spend much time reading it) where the buyer seems to be taking the risk, is due to the fact that when we joined early, we have our money "taken" or "put on hold by paypal" until the end of the gb period where the final price will be paid to SP or refunded, whichever applies.
these here i believe is what the reasons is that prevent people from joining the groupbuy early;
1) a big chunk of your money is "unusable" by u when u checkout, thus if there is an emergency, you can't use that money until paypal or SP refunded u back when u cancelled it and you probably don't get back your money immediately (do i get this right about the refunding part? pls correct me if i'm wrong)
2) some ppl feels that certain price in a certain tier(s) is only worth spending on certain kits. (i mean, seriously, who would want to buy the windowed kit at USD$36?)
these 2 reasons applies to myself. i'm not sure about how the others feel.
as of now, my cart is holding kits worth USD$230.00 with USD$5.00 of estimate shipping, and i'm from non-US state, which means shipping is going to be a lot more costlier.
i wouldn't want USD$235.00 to be put on hold by paypal when i still might need to use them.
this is my concern which i wish to address to SP.
i hope excessive and/or splady will consider putting a Commit feature into the groupbuy.

Unused funds are immediately released. If the order is originally $200 and the end price is $100, the remaining $100 hold is immediately removed.
Also, based on Paypal's documentations funds are only held for the first 3 days. We have an authorization to capture those funds up to 30 days after you place an order, however the funds are no longer held specifically for our order.
I think the SP Group Buy system is simply new to most of us and because it adds the wrinkle of putting a hold on your PayPal account is something we have to get used to.
Speaking of the "Commit To Buy"... one of the things that makes Massdrop work is that they only have a few price points to hit and their selection is more limited. Take the Regal Set (https://www.massdrop.com/buy/dsa-keycaps) for example. It starts at $90 and the target price is $85. Their model is to drive interest to reach a specific price point and that's it. It's simple and it works well for them and I like it, but not for everything.
SP is using a traditional group buy model. We see all the price tiers up front, like we did with Retro, CCnG and Klaxon, but money is held on the front-end instead of the back-end. Yes, if forces you to commit at a higher price point if you want to get in early, but the kits are not on a fixed price point, so you won't overpay for a set and you can always cancel. There are also a ton of more kits available, so it's a much more complicated GB and I don't think it would necessarily fit well in a MassDrop model.
Like I said, it's a new wrinkle on the traditional GB model and I don't know that it's not a step in the right direction. Too soon to tell, but if things are tight and your wallet has been geek hacked (like mine) then you'll probably wait another 15-days or so to see how the sets pan out. :thumb:
maybe fewer tiers is a good idea for the next time. Also they need a summary page where you can follow real-time the group buy status, imho.

we just need to completely ditch the lower tiers. their prices are insane.
windowed should have been set to $17.75 @ 25 as the lowest MOQ.
these lower tiers are the ones getting complaints. just get rid of them and people won't be worried about overpaying and will have less money potentially stuck in purgatory.

Would it be possible to add the rest of the number row to the Cyrillic set? Namely, I have no interest in the 6.25x spacebar or the generic alphas in the Common Kit whatsoever--I would be getting this set specifically for the cyrillic alphas, but I would HAVE to buy the standard alphas too, just for 7 remaining caps from the number row and the function row (but at least I can get 8 of the function keys and arrows in the Lost And Found kit, also somewhat redundantly).
Basically for anyone purchasing the standard kit, this set is a great deal. For anyone with a 1.5x/7x bottom row layout, looking to get foreign legends, this set is suddenly a lot more expensive (a whole additional set of Pro modifiers currently at $45, spacebar, AND additional alphas for a lot of redundancy and left-over caps.)

The GB is doing well, every day you can see more and more kits reaching the MOQ. At this pace we should reach 100 tier for the common set. That said, sales are a bit slow especially for the less common kits (those kits that have been desperately asked for in the IC and I've spent days designing).
The Skull Squadron set made 50% of the sales the last 24h so I guess there's still plenty of time, but this set will be a good test for the future GBs I will organize, I won't listen to IC too much for sure and I'll limit myself to the standard options.
matt3o, any chance for that cyrillic kit to get at least a full alpha set? (it's just missing 1, 5, 8, 9, 0, -, = keys)

Novatouch? I get tingles up my leg just thinking about it. Too much information?
Btw, this might be my first GB ever.
But I need to know, will this set fit on a QFR properly, with all the LED's?
I'm really into Topre and would like to minimize MX stuff but I can't resist the pull of this color and that it is PBT! Oh man!!

how much an internet worth these days?
Matt3o, this granite PBT and its grey scheme reminds me of tomb stones. And you know, a tie in with Bro Caps' ZomBro could result in a huge drive for this GB. I saw the relevance in theme after I saw those ZomBro's in a coffin. How about this? Would love to experience the same hype train of Toxic. That would be really awesome!So, Matt, you gonna PM Bro Caps about this because I am not sure if he's reading this thread. This will be very exciting, but on the other hand, he's just one man - I am not sure how many caps he can make. Already he's having very little sleep :-X
@Bro Caps.. what do you think?
Just a question from an interested buyer, are all the stepped capslock in all the keysets centre-stemmed? I'm planning on putting them on my filco tkl. :)
I noticed skull squadron just was done being made, do SP's sets that are run through their system get bumped ahead and produced before other group buys that don't us SP's system?

I haven't looked, because I'm at work, but is there a way to add something to an order? I'm thinking about picking up the WASD set. Would that be a separate order now? Or can I add onto my current order somehow?

This was discussed here (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=55673.msg1280859#msg1280859).
Tomorrow I'll work on the legends and on the case, but keycaps are almost there.I'll be ordering a few things a little latter today. Really want these for my Smallfry.

5 more to tip the common kit!Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/nBDYTXx.png)
Please Note:
If you purchase this deal you will only be charged the final group price, when the deal expires, and only if it reaches the tipping point (MOQ).
Here's what I'd love to see:
- Include a 7x spacebar with the pro modifier kit
- Make internetional alpha kits complete with the full number row and missing function keys
Currently the sets heavily favor standard Filco-style layouts. A 6.25x spacebar is included with the base alpha kit and everything else necessary. Those with 7x spacebar layouts have to get extra pro modifiers AND an extra spacebar (and somehow the pro modifiers have more orders than 7x spacebars, which is just confusing). And anyone wanting to get international kits has to buy a largely redundant standard kit.
Common kit only needs one more order to tip :thumb:Meanwhile, in the RGB Icon camp...

Surely it shouldn't have been too difficult to accommodate, given that DSA is all symmetrical, and extra 1x keys allocated to certain sets for dye sublimation should not be a problem.
don't feel like buying a whole modifier pro set just for a 1.75x shift... anyone wanna trade a key with me? :(

Slightly confused on how this group buy works... if a kit does not reach tipping point, is it not produced? On the pimpyourkeyboard site it says:QuotePlease Note:

I added the Cyrillic kit to my order, but it still needs 6 more orders to tip - if it doesn't reach that point, is that particular kit just removed from the total order?
I'm officially in :D
OMG, someone just ordered Icon Mods with Icon RGB. I LOVE UUU!!!Hell yeah, it's happening!

Only 14 days left. This looks very good so far. As Matt said the next stop should be 100 kits. It is interesting that some people, seven to be precise, did not get any modifiers, neither text, nor icons. It just does not make sense.

ergodox maybe? or maybe they will be adding them later.
I'm one of those non-mod 'doxers; I have enough alternative key needs that dropping the $36 for a bunch of mods that won't fit my board is pushing the envelope. Love my Pro kit, though!
Gotcha, thanks for the reply - here's to hoping they produce all the kits listed regardless of MOQSlightly confused on how this group buy works... if a kit does not reach tipping point, is it not produced?

I guess it depends on how the GB goes. The skull squadron set has been fully produced, even the sets that didn't meet the MOQ, so...
This is a bigger set btw, and different rules may apply.

Probably gonna pick a 7u spacebar and the blue enter kit, since it's right on the cusp of another price break.
This is the first set that I'm buying for keyboards I don't actually own at the moment.

Separating the 7u spacebar actually worked considering that not all pro mod buyers got the 7u spacebars. The pro modifiers kit has a kit to swap ctrl/caps lock for example.
The international kits were merged to give everyone the possibility to get their language. All international users are helping each others to meet the MOQ. This has been discussed in the IC and nobody argued at the time.
Anyway we ran the IC for months. Discussing about these things at this stage is pointless.
Anyway we ran the IC for months. Discussing about these things at this stage is pointless.For what it’s worth, that’s an exaggeration. The thread was up for just about exactly one month before the group buy started, and most of the decisions about which sets to make seem to have been made in about 2 weeks. I also thought it felt kind of rushed.

BUT! Rushed is better than the alternative, which is stalling and waffling and letting the schedule slip and slip, which is what I tend to do (and seems to be a very common problem for group buys). So I’m not complaining. :-)
Our concerns are with the kit distribution, which was discussed much closer to the group buy start--within a month of it. It is good that you will take our comments into consideration for future reference.

Oh yeaaah, please drive down the price of the blue enter key! :thumb:
HyperFuse & Penumbra were the first sets I tried to somewhat future proof, and I decided to go whole hog on Granite as well... the DSA profile looks so good imo & the feel of it is really growing on me, plus dye-sub PBT is my favorite! With Matt3o's topre MX sliders & the CM Novatouch on the horizon, I've got no regrets investing in nice keycaps for future keyboards.
Definitely interested! But as a modified keyboard n00b, I have a few questions:
I'm building an Ergodox to use with my Mac, so I was wondering what set of text modifiers would I need, 1u, 1.25u, or 1.5u on the Apple Kit?
And would this cover all of the keys I need?:
- Common Kit
- Ergodoxian
- Apple Kit
- Text modifiers
Thank you for your help & I'm looking forward to this!
I changed those kits so many times and tried to make everybody happy, of course that's not possible.

Well yeah, I get that, but I figured the novelty, and a streamlined look would attract more folks.I would've thought Mono Legend would be more popular...
The Mono Legend is fairly specific - you'd lose half of your characters on a conventional keyboard.
Lose, as in terms of not see them on the keycaps. There are few keyboard (that I'm aware of) that do only have those single symbols on any keys (the few on the numpad aside)).
one option could be to merge the two mono-legend. At the end of the GB, I'll ask SP.I wouldn't mind that.
I wouldn't mind either, but would that make much difference, considering there's only one purchaser for the international monos so far?
The mono legend set is largely made redundant by the number pad set...No quite: I was actually planning a geek edition of my RedTilt board with the following legends and was going to order the mono set:

Can somebody enlighten me why 17 international kits (9+8) are sold but people only ordered 14 ISO Enters (4+10)?
Are some people not aware they need a separate enter key or do 5 people use multiple EU layouts and only need 1 enter key?

at this stage I don't think that would be possibleI figured as much.. oh well, I'll just find something else to use as 00, like the double kittens from the nerdom kit or something.
Granite Set (PBT, dye-sub, DSA) | $37.00 |
Granite Text Modifiers | $28.00 |
Granite 6.25u Spacebar | $6.00 |
Granite Blue Enter | $8.50 |
Granite Numpad | $17.25 |
TOTAL | $96.75 |
It is very interesting to see that just under 32% of main sets included a numpad. Meaning that there are near to 70% of ergo or TKL users in the buyers group. I will get a numpad to use these caps as monolegends though.
It is good to know that most of the caps with legends will do it at the end, one way or another.
Reference set has broken the $100 barrier!
I have been tracking the total cost of a reference full set with an extra spacebar and a splash of color, and today the total dropped below $100 USD (plus taxes and shipping, YMMV.)

Bear in mind the base set already includes a 6.2u space bar. So that's $90.75.
And if you're a TKL user who doesn't want a blue enter... $65 :)

Sorry if this has been covered in the thread, I have not read everything...I think you are confusing DCS with DSA.
In the OP it shows a thick pbt spacebar. My understanding is that the SP DSA caps are not thick. Are all the keys that thick or is it just the spacebar that is that thick?
Icon RGB needs to be tipped.... please!

DCS is the normal row-specific cylindrical cap profile - the ones that SP make in this profile are indeed not that thick.
These are DSA which are spherical, low-profile and rather thick. (One way to remember is dCs - Cylindrical, dSa - Spherical)

I was not confused about that, I just thought sp dsa' where quite thin. Does anyone have an image the underside of a dsa that shows the thickness this set would have?
I love the icon mods, just need that price down. :)

Icons modifiers are in a class by themselves, and based on the low order quantities these sets have so far, they are not for all, but for those with a special taste only. They are not the average Joe item. But I think this way is better, because they will be a limited edition subset of a special edition set.

Ya, I saw that. Which is why I was asking if all the caps where that thick.
I found this thread which has some images as well (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=49485.msg1070433#msg1070433). The caps do not seem to be quite as thick as the spacebar in that image, but they do seem reasonably thick. I may have to get in on this. :)

Since it seems pretty unlikely that the (beautiful, buy it damnit!) Cyrillic kit will tip, I might just have to add on Icon mods/Icon RGB to my order :-X
Oh my god.Icon RGB needs to be tipped.... please!
I have done what needed to be done.
some of the blank kits can clearly be manufactured anyway, such as the RGB kit (being the same as the lengended ones). Others (such as the mods) I do not know yet. I'll speak with SP close to the end of the GB.It’s also a bit curious that not printing the keys ends up costing a lot more than printing them. :-P
I don't get it, sorry. It depends on quantity.Sure, of course. But as long as the sticker price on the blanks is $90 (while being only $37 from http://keyshop.pimpmykeyboard.com/product/dsa-pbt-blank-sets albeit in different colors), few people are going to bother.
At 25 tier a base kit blank costs $59.75 which is less than the legended common+mods (and it also includes blue enter)
Is the kit going to come with a keycap puller?

No. First time this one is mentioned. You may suggest that for other GB in its interest check phase.

A keycap puller option will be added to the GB.
i am surprised there are not more ergodox orders, there was more Calm Depths ErgoDox kit orders i think than this and SA is NOT the set you should be using for an ergodox unless you have a tall wrist rest and have your wrists higher up yet still level with arms/elbows (low desk). for proper ergonomics DSA, love it or hate it, is the best profile for the ergodox.
This is only the second time after retro dsa that you can create a proper ergodox where all your keys have legends, but this time in awesome long-lasting dye-sub pbt. In some ways you could call it THE essential set to get for ergodox users.
Just a heads up notice for those interested in keycap pullers: The site has now the keycap pullers available.
it's not going to be one of those 'ring' pullers is it...?
matteo, are you happier with the GB than you were earlier? I'm not sure what a GB organizer's definition of success is.

I would have been disappointed under 100 common kit.
My estimate was between 150 and 200, so it seems I was pretty close. That being said I'm really surprised that ISO enter didn't reach 25 yet.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/XoVrFj5.png)
Few more updates
- The Nerdom kit now includes both the bitcoin logo AND the MX Switch at the same price
- You can add a key puller to your order!

thanks for your input mougrim. Now it's a bit late to make modifications, you should have really participated in the Interest Check. I know very little about Cyrillic and that's the best I could do.
If there are errors I can surely correct them, though

Was there a mockup or confirmation on the final few keys for the nerdom kit? I really liked the top view Cherry switch, might have to add the kit to my order if it ended up as a final design...
I definitely want to order this but my wallet is dying. How long is it running for?7 days and a few hours more :)

So as somebody who uses the UK ISO layout extensively, loves DSA but didn't order the ISO enter key (I'm not complaining here, just highlighting why I think the ISO isn't selling as high as you'd hoped).
To get the UK layout I have to pay $31 for a set of 55 keys of which I need just 6 and $20 for two ISO's when I only want one. That's basically $51 for 7 keys - and it's a tax you pay for ISO every time you jump into a new group-buy.
Personally I'm considering switching to a US layout with either £ soft-mapped to 3 or just slapping the extra key between Z and shift to create a pseudo-ISO layout that removes future GB resistance. I appreciate that this is only really an option for Brits as we really don't have a lot of extra symbols we need mapped.
I know but you could still use novelty keys instead of language specific (and grab the ISO enter anyway).
The options were: have 1 kit per language and see only few tipped, have just 2 or 3 big language kits and have all tipped.

It might be useful to know what languages the kits break into if people want to buy one in the hope they can split it and country-specific ones off? I'm assuming some of the languages have overlap in keys used.

As someone who is interested in perhaps using these caps for a custom built keyboard, how do I know what kind of stabilizers I would need for the spacebar/shift/enter keys, etc? Even if I were just to buy these to use on my CM QFR, the spacebar in this Granite Set doesn't seem compatible as the QFR looks to have a stabilizer spring? Thanks and sorry for the noob question.
I got some cash for my b-day today, so I think I will put it towards this. I have not ordered yet cause I want the icon packs, but I don't want to pay the icon prices. Guess I will make a game time decision near the end on which direction I will go.

MD solved that dilemma via "Commit to join @ certain price". Would be nice if would SP implement something similar.
Sarcasm aside, we should encourage ourselves to join the GB earlier, that benefits all of us.

i guess the people promoting 'commit early' aren't the ones participating in ivan's black pbt or pexon's poker case gbs.I'm in for a case and a cable from pexon.
both of those got absolutely murdered by dropouts.
the best solution is 'commit'. failing that, we need a 'closing soon' notification.

I agree with you, do not buy the icon modifiers, Let them to be the limited edition they are, If you buy them now, more people may get them at a lower price, which is not fair for the finest art they are. ;)

I'm interested in buying the common kit with text modifiers, but I want to use a Visa gift card that only has $75 (caps cost $73 with shipping right now). Will the payment hold be an issue?Can't see how, as I've added to my order via gift card with no issues.

But I still can't fathom why blank kits actually cost more than printed... When you manufacture sublimated-printed keys, you basically START with blank keys, right?

Blue Enter got to next tier! Yay! Now I could only wish for another three Cyrillic set :)
Oh, and another 10 icon modifiers. New buyers - I must say to you, that in my humbly opinion icon modifiers are waaay better than text ones ;) And another ten kits save another eight bucks for us all :)
Is it just me... I'm having trouble finding the closing date...
It's just on the left side, at the startpage of the groupbuy...
Is it possible, that you use an old browser which isn't capable of showing html5?
The ergodox kit is great. While it is not 100%, and some people's preferred layouts may be different, it pretty much solves the problem that I first had with the ergodox. The only key sets available were DCS and blank.I'd go for a Poker II. I love mine. :D
I've ordered so many of the kits expecting to pay full price, that I think I may round everything out and pick up another base set too. Then I can have my choice of icon's or texts, rgb or not, and with an extra base set I can do an additional keyboard with the 'spares'.
Now, someone should point out a good 60% -> TKL board I can get off Amazon (so my job will buy it for me), I'd be set.
My subtotal is $400.
What am I doing wrong?
edit: holy hell how are you supposed to choose between text/icon/blank

It's not in this thread which is why it is confusing. You have to follow a link and leave this site to find that detail, so it is not obvious.

I had some trouble getting my card to work with Paypal; I registered it online but I also had to call the number. No problems after that.
So just to be clear, if I want a full Ergodox set I would need to get the common kit, the text modifiers, and the ergodoxian? What does it mean eventually get a half ergodoxian set?

depends on your config, if you miss some keys you can get a half ergodox blank to fill the voids.
show us how you want to layout your ergodox and I can help you.

I guess Mono Legend just isn't in the cards... :'(I’d expect the standard Mono Legends to still make it. Probably out of luck on the international ones though.
Hi All,
This group buy looks like a great setup! There was a comment earlier in the thread about the seemingly low number of Ergodox orders, I might of found a reason. I hate to be to be criticizing your hard work Matt3o, Just hoping that there is a chance to adjust things to make the set a better fit.
I laid out the setup to figure out which key sets I would need and it seems neither the Icon/Text Pro Mod set or the Ergodoxian set have a 1.5 Tab key. You'd have to get the Icon/Text (non pro) Mod set (which is, by design, mostly filled with keys that won't fit an Ergodox) or go with the blank set. Springing for 36$ over the 115$ for the 3 base Ergodox sets for one key is a bit of a barrier. I know it's late in the game but any chance we could get a 1.5 tab key added to the Ergodoxian or Icon/Text Pro set?
At this stage I can't add/remove other keys.
Normally you'd have to take the full TKL set as a minimum, this GB is not different. The difference is that a full TKL keyboard will end up costing $62, which is pretty reasonable for a full PBT sublimated set. The split between common and modifiers is not because you can get one or another, but because you can choose between icon and text.
There seems to be quite some interest in Ergodox sets, sooner or later we might organize something specifically crafted for ergodox.

Matt3o: could you please make us a nice 3D mock-up of a set-up with Cyrillic caps? Perhaps with some other kits, like RGB or Lost and Found.Excuse me for the total noob question, but do the cyrillic caps come with the other numbers, do you know? Because in the picture it only shows 2,3,4,6,7 for some reason.
They do not. They are an add-on pack to replace certain keycaps in the base kit. Only those keycaps that would be different on a full English/Cyrillic keyboard. I do wish they were a full set of alphas.Damn, okay. Thanks for letting me know.

Can anyone give me a tl;dr rundown of all the Nerdom keycaps? I'm not familiar with the origins of many of them.
I know that I was the one who quoted the SP website, but I would like to make certain.
If I order now and then we reach a lower price point, I will pay the lower price point after the buy ends,
yes?

Paypal locked sum of kit prices at the time of your buy. But if any of those kits will reach the next tier, all money it saved will be returned to your account.
We will break 150 with my order. I will be getting icon kits as well, but I won't order till the last day because of the paypal freeze stuff. Being in canada I will pay a % for what gets converted to USD and if there is a refund, it will be in USD which I can no longer withdraw from my PP account (can only withdraw Canadian funds).
It's a bit tricky working with USD from Canadian paypal, so it is much easier to deal with if the price is less likely to change.
How much is shipping btw?

PayPal refunds to whatever source you got the money from. So if it was PayPal balance/Bank transfer/Debit card, the refund would end up in your PayPal balance. If you purchase via CC, it'll get refunded to your CC. Only downside is, you get dinged twice by unfavourable exchange rates. :( I believe you can also withdraw USD to Canadian banks, except it uses PP's conversion rate to CAD.
Shipping will depend on your order. If you fill in the billing/shipping info, and continue with checkout, it'll show you the shipping cost. When I did a test purchase, Base kit+ Nerd+ Enter+ Mods cost $17 shipping to Canada.
Put my order in:
Granite Set 2x

Matt3o, I've already ordered some caps sets about a week ago...If I wanted to add some more caps now, will I have to order again and pay the shipping charges again? Or can I inform you first so that paypal doesn't double charge me the shipping fees.

Ahhh, how did I not notice this buy until now?! I need to get all up on this! ;D I've been keen on a set with this profile and font for ages. The problem is I can't decide whether to go with icon or text mods...
I mocked up both options for a full-size board to try and decide. I'm leaning slightly more towards text, what do other people reckon?Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/ntswG3p.png)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/fdry1bG.png)
take both :D

Haha, that is tempting! Then maybe throw in some RGB mods and maybe some Apple keys... Too many things I want and not enough cash! I need to save some money to put towards a new board too... *sigh*
Considering the complete lack of interest in the international mono legend (just 1 order) I collected some interest in a different set of legends and the following is the result.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/3G7Z7xO.png)

I would trade you for the 1.25 FN and Alt Gr keys from the Text Pro Modifiers, and throw in some more from the Nerdom kit if you want.
Perhaps someone who ordered the set might not need the heart keycap, so you might see it in the classifieds. As a last resort, you can always buy the set yourself just for the heart keycap and then sell the rest in classifieds.

Few questions:
1.Which sets do I need to completely cover the WASD V2 87 key?
2. And to replace the CapsLock with Ctrl?

Yes please join! The more the cheaper, plus this will look great on a WASD 87 key!
You would need the "Common Kit", "Text Modifiers" or "Icon Modifiers" (depending on preference), and then the "Text Pro Modifiers" or "Icon Pro Modifiers". With the text option this comes out to $89 right now. The price could drop a little bit too.
Those last two include a 1.5 Control Key, that will take the place of the standard Caps Lock Key, and a 1.25 Caps Lock Key, which will take the place of the bottom left Control Key.
I would also recommend adding some color if you want it to look great. Either the "Blue Enter" or "Text RGB"/"Icon RGB" would look especially good. If you went with the RGB modifiers, you would not have a red Caps Lock Key in the bottom left though. RGB is modeled after Desko RGB, so even though it would look good, it wouldn't be complete - like this set...Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/Ej3INDU.jpg)
And if you went with the Text Pro Modifiers, you would definitely be able to sell/trade some of the left over keys (IMO, I know I will be looking to pick up an FN key and Alt Gr key).
The Ukrainian set looks great though. I assume I can get that instead of the core set? (Will that fit 87 or do I need a bigger board?)
I am a little hesitant about the font... is this a standard typeface, and does it look good in reality? Not a fan of iconography, so if anything, I will go 100% text.

Matt3o, how feasible would it be to use these on a HHKB if your Topre/MX stems get mass produced somehow? Would it be possible to get 6u ABS spacebars with this same profile and colour?
6u ABS would be doable, but color match between ABS and PBT is always a bit problematic.
Just curious why windows key (win 8 icon style for example) is not included? Seems like mac is there.
6u ABS would be doable, but color match between ABS and PBT is always a bit problematic.
Okay that sounds promising. It would be better if the colours could be the same but as long as they're close enough.
One more question: if I order a set now, and then end up liking it, will I be able to get another order in the future for a 2nd keyboard?
Or is this a one-time thing?
As of now there are no plans for a second round.

That is exactly how my order spiralled into enough for two 110% with any variation of modifiers or a 110% and egdx.
I got a second job for geekhack.

I imagine the two people who ordered the blank base sets are slightly peeved...

Designing sublimated sets takes really a lot of time. Every key has to be designed, printed, checked, corrected, re-printed, re-checked, ... It's not something I can do every day.

so to add to my order i just create a new basket and checkout right? no complicated contacting SP to alter it right?
ISO Enter finally reached 25 tier! Now I can sleep well :)I'm sad that their is no longer a yen symbol, but was still worth the price for the space invaders key. What is that symbol next to it though?

That's what people said but I did get charged a small amount of shipping for my second order ($3). It had a * next to it. I'm hoping their system is clever enough to calculate the difference to add it to an existing unfulfilled order.

Unfortunate about the blank sets. Wonder why more blank numpad sets sold than all the other blank kits (ISO excluded) put together?maybe to populate an ergodox ? I need a blank numpad to have some dark grey for special keys and to have a light grey 2u for my little space bar :)
Order placed! It contains the following:
(1) Common Kit
(1) Ergodoxian
(2) Half-Ergodox Blank
(3) Nerdom kit
Looks like I tipped the Half Ergodox Blanks! :thumb:
No modifiers? That means you are not going to use it for a regular keyboard.

228 base kits! Hmmm... maybe 250 isn't so impossible as I thought?..
any chance that i can order the lost and found and have the Y and O keys head directly to shipping instead of getting dyesubbed? I REALLY don't want text :/
also, any way we can get the RGB blanks produced at text/icon prices? it's ridiculous that it's more expensive to NOT dyesub. I mean I understand the business reasons why this happens, but it'd be great if SP was willing to help us out one more time.

Technically specking we could have the RGB blank produced at a decent price. The base kit blank and the mods blank have both an unique set up. The only possibility to have them manufactured would be to make them the same as the legended counterparts.
Can it be done? I think so, but considering the very very low interest I have very little leverage on SP.
I guess people don't like how they're almost 3x the price of the DSA sets already on the PMK website.
I could try to contact SP and see if we could lower the price, but it's really to late now.
Would anybody buying the "Granite Intl: NO, SW, FI, DK, ES, UK" kit be willing to sell me their 1U "|\" key?

Can someone please help me not screw up my order? Im new to keyboards and looking to buy a set for my CMStorm QFR.Common kit plus either text or icon mods is all you'll need. I'd go with icon if I were you. Anything else you buy will just be extra and not necessary to cover the board.

ok, let's do this. Later today I'll contact SP and see what we can do with blanks. If we can substantially lower the price making the blank sets the same as the legended you blank guys have 24h to show the world your power. (but I can't promise anything)

Just ordered two sets and ended up with $20+ for shipping. Anyone know if/when that will get adjusted?

Hey Everyone just to clarify the shipping costs. Each item has a cost applied based on it's weight and whether it is US or International. That rate is based on the weight of that specific item. In some cases the weight is so little that we have no shipping fee at all (as long as its with a base set).
When you add items to your order, you will add these additional shipping charges - if there is any. No additional shipping discounts will be applied to these orders.
Hopefully this makes more sense. Thanks.

This makes me want to add a "lost and found" kit to my order :p
Well, I have still ~24hours to decide...
The only thing I don't like about that board is the blank enter key - I looks kinda odd among all those keys with legends, but that's just my taste ;)
I went back and looked at my invoices - the shipping total for 3 orders was actually only $20. Double checked by adding all the stuff into one order and estimating the shipping -- the same.
$20 seems a bit high, but what they're saying about the by-weight calculations is at least true.

If anyone who ordered two base sets and had issue with the shipping costs - I'd recommend contacting them. The default shipping calcs don't handle multiple base sets well and cause pricing mistakes. SP was very accommodating with my shipping cost error and fixed it for me
I just wanted to confirm that the pictures are accurate to what the keys will look like.. so the regular base alphas' legends will be centered horizontally/vertically on the key, and the dual legend caps (Cyrillic set + international language packs) will have the English characters on the upper left?

The whole process took really a lot of time. Starting from the initial idea, the dozens of mock-ups, the 3d renders, the final templates. It took me more time than I like to admit, I'm so glad that the GB has been successful and all my work hasn't gone lost. It will take some time before I design another sublimated set though (gosh!).

you can't sublimate ABS (as far as I know). You can pad print it, though.
Anyway I do not want to flood with GBs. There's the midnight set (double-shot) that is already designed and I'd like to proceed with that in a couple of months. I really love that keycaps set, I'll try to make a 3D render, I bet people will fall in love with it, but I would be surprised if it goes over 100 tier.
Then there's DCS PBT, I'd like to go charcoal with that, if legend contrast is good enough.
Lastly SA PBT in HiPro style.
I'm done until 2016 I guess.

Hi can I change the shipping address after the purchase? Ex. can I change it 1 week from now?
Only one more windowed set required for $26 --> $17.75
Tipped it :)
edit: who else ordered a blank numpad?It's me and it's exactly because of this 2u key : I couldn't have a spacebar in dark grey on my G80-3000 mod (http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/#/layouts/af1d3687008f6b61664cfcf68d57838c) :D She will dress a nice cyrillic set too.
we're gonna be the only two a 2u light grey [GKK] blank.
Any idea on when SP will give back the monies that weren't needed for our final order price?
Aw nuts it looks like my last minute order didn't go through. :(
Very excited to get in on probably the coolest key set ive seen yet. Now the waiting begins :(
Be sure to get 2 Icon RGBs. Haha, so close to the next tier. The Icon Pro Modifiers were within 1. Damn...

Yeah the annoying thing is we together paid $1421 (49 * $29) for pro mod kit. 50 sets at $25 would have been $1200. Even throwing one set in the trash would have saved us each $4.51.

This is a huge chance for SP to prove it has its **** together re: sorting and shipping. I hope they don't blow it; if a bunch of people end up with missing caps, it'll be ugly :(I have faith based on Macross, but this set is much, muuuch larger, so we'll see.

Maybe Matt3o can negotiate something about this?!
Text modifiers were one short as well (199 instead of 200). Considering it's a really huge order SP might be generous enough to gift us these tiers :)

Woow I didn't know there were additional packs I could buy. I only got the base. :(The size of the challenge depends on the size of the keyboard you want to populate. I don't think I am the only one who will have unused caps. For example, I ordered a text modifier kit just to have the 1u keys and the same with two Pro kits :) It may be harder to find a numpad kit but not impossible.
Guess I'm looking out for extras when they arrive
Thanks for running this. Cool set.
I just submitted an invoice by email (thanks Melissa!) that includes 1x Text Modifiers and 1x Icon Pro, which should bump those both to the next tier.You just saved $200 to the group of Icon Pro Set's buyers, thank you.
This multi-authorization, charge for different amount is royally screwing with my PayPal. Auth was mostly funded with PP balance but remainder went to a debit card... now the whole thing is held while the bank refunds the card amount according to PayPal... I hate PayPal.
[)amien
Wow yours happened that fast?
Mine was all through a debit, which was authorized for way more than what I'm paying, and nothing has moved at all.
Also, is anyone else getting email verifications for each individual set?

I need an Icon blue enter if someone was only interested in the text blue enter.
One thing I wish to come from this set is instead of SUPER, i wish it said WINAs a Linux user, I'm glad Matt3o didn't put those in the base mod kits.

Well it's finally over. Congratulations on a incredibly successful GB Matt3o! Thanks for all the blood, sweat and tears you put in. At least 367 people appreciate it :thumb:
I don't know how the stats hold up against other key sets, but I'm pretty amazed how well the ergodox set sold. Hopefully this will encourage more people to put the effort in to adding legends.
Now to just forget I ordered anything so it's a nice surprise next month.
Slightly confused about the charges that my Paypal incurred during this GB. Maybe someone can help clarify for me.
So I placed my original order for $163 (all original pricing).. This can be seen in my PayPal activity, labeled as "Authorization". I later placed another order for about $50. This order generated no "authorization" charge at all.
Yesterday, when the GB ended, I received 2 charges to my paypal: $102 & $40. I assume these are the cost of my 2 orders after the price reduction from the various tiers that were hit.
So I guess my question is regarding that initial $163 "authorization" charge.
I know that in this thread, it was mentioned that you'd pay full price and that SP would "hold" that amount. Then after the GB ended, you'd be charged the corrected amounts. So will I be refunded the $163, now that I've paid $102 & $40? or does an "authorization" not actually deduct from your account?
If anyone could clarify this, I would greatly appreciate it.
From what I can tell, I think the "Authorization" thing transferred money from my account as well (unless I'm totally reading this account activity screen incorrectly).Slightly confused about the charges that my Paypal incurred during this GB. Maybe someone can help clarify for me.

This "Authorization" thingy actually transferred money from my debit card I use with paypal - 143 usd at the time. After GB ended I was charged 120 usd - my final price, but, I think, initial "authorization" will be refunded to my card later (3 work days, I suppose).

My PayPal doesn't deduct from any debit/credit card.. so should I expect to see a refund on that "authorization" amount soon? Perhaps I should contact a SP rep directly

Ya the website is VERY confusing in that regard. It shows a full keyboard layout and has 'buy now'. So when you click that button it looks like you are buying the whole layout. It is VERY misleading...
I'm looking at the final price list.
If someone would have just bought one more Text Modifier kit.

Someone has. Read the last posts ... he ordered via email after the time was up, but it was accepted. It's just not reflected in the graphics :)
Same thing happened with Macross.
You can safely ignore them.
I got 8 of 'em.
AFAICT you are getting an email confirmations for each order, not each set (at least that happened to me.)
I made one order for seven kits. I got a email for the numpad, one for the text mods, and one that just took me to the granite page.
However I know they got my whole order because I can see it in my paypal account.

An authorization does not actually deduct from your account. If there are not enough funds in your paypal account, paypal may charge your bank account to make enough funds. However the money stays in your paypal account until we actually charge you for the items you bought, which does not occur until after the GB ends.
Well damn.
Look's like I missed this one.

Oh, but it did. As I said, first it actually deducted money from my debit card after authorization, and then, after GB was ended, deducted from it a final price.Charging a credit card has 2 parts: an “authorization” (or “hold”) and a “capture”. The authorization step locks down a particular amount of money from your credit limit, guaranteeing that the merchant can charge it, but does not actually charge you the money (some consumers definitely get confused about this from time to time though). The “capture” step actually finishes the transaction and charges the card. The authorization phase happens basically instantly, while captures are done in daily batches. It’s possible to capture any amount of money up to the authorized amount, or cancel the authorization, at any time for about a month after the authorization was made, though the exact amount of time varies from card to card. After that the authorization expires and the credit limit is restored.
I can't pay until sometime next week, but I'd love to get in on this if possible.
Also, congrats on breaking 300 Matt3o! that is awesome!

After that the authorization expires and the credit limit is restored.
Typically, in a situation like the one we’re dealing with here, SP should authorize the maximum possible charge, and then only capture the relevant amount (i.e. not actually charging you the difference). It sounds like what may have happened [though it’s a bit hard to tell without looking at your statement] is first they authorized the transaction for the full amount, and then later did both authorization and capture for a smaller amount, leaving the original authorization hanging.
If you use a debit card, instead of a credit card, then an authorization actually pulls money from your bank account (not exactly, but that’s how it often looks on statements), and the money sits in limbo until the authorization is either captured, canceled, or expired. This is one of the down-sides of debit cards. On the upside, usually authorizations on debit cards only last a week or less before they expire.
I’m sure if you contact SP directly, they’ll be willing to cancel the original authorization, which should put the money back into your bank account.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Authorization_hold for further details.
Quick question because I might have made a mistake in ordering..
I just need these keycaps for my Poker II.
I did NOT order the Pro kit. Did I make a mistake? I just ordered the main set and the text modifier kit. Will that be enough?
technically, he got even more than he needed lol.
more helpfully, the only thing you could possibly be missing is an alpha colored esc for the top left if that's your thing. this key is only found in the lost and found kit
oh yea i also forgot i bought the WASD kit. $10 for a set of 4 different colors is such a good deal
I bloody finished designing ALL the bloody legends! JEEZ!
Now I'm gonna print them and do the final revision. Later I'll post all the kits for your review before giving them to SP.
Unfortunately I can't release the source files to the public because that would mean letting anybody run the same set (including SP). Considering the amount of time needed to design this thing I don't want other vendors to take advantage of the work (ie: SP is not allowed to run a private batch unless they pay for the designs :P ).
That being said, if you are interested in the source files, simply contact me privately.
Cheerio!
Yeah I was going to say that it would be really interesting for a proper interview and documentary tracking the process of interest check through design to production and delivery. Interviews and video of someone like Matt3o, people at SP, and buyers gleefully getting their stuff. Someone should co-ordinate that collect the footage and edit it up. Boom. Global box office smash.

wow, that's actually a very nice idea :) not the interview to Matt3o that nobody cares about :) but a production video would be nice.
Next we'll need a SA set from Matt3o :)

Are the line weights going to be similar to dsa profile alphas?

granite is just a pinch smaller I believe, but sublimation tends to bleed a little. Anyway I'll get a preview before starting full production
With the example it is very easy to understand why you said that "you are done until 2015". It is really a lot of work. Thank you again for all the hard work to design the set and lead this GB. The combination of colors, materials, the nice icon work, and the legends being sublimated will make this one a very nice, unique, and long lasting set, that may allow us to type in style for years to come. :thumb:
hey there,
I'd gladly volunteer to look over all the legends and icons.
I got a degree in graphics design and hence some experience with icons, typo, layout etc.
... so if I can do something, feel free to let me know.

Looks good to me :)It's OK. No, really :)
I only wondering because I only got 3 mails but ordered 9 kits, is this normal?
You should make BACKSPACE one word. So instead of BACK SPACE, BACKSPACE.
I think it looks neater.
Any Spanish guy bought the international set? Please contact me ASAP I have some questions!
Thanks!
Please review all the legends
http://imgur.com/a/jqke0 (click on images, they are quite high res)
Those are not the kits! Just the legends (ie: no doubles or blanks). There are still some very little corrections that need to done, but we are getting really close.
Please check typos, line width and uniformity!
The source files are now all paths (no more fonts, you don't need gotham to view the file). If you think you can help working directly on the source files please let me know privately, but bear in mind that I work on Inkscape.
Thanks for your help!
I like the "BACK SPACE" as two words...Same.
So concerning the typo-mods I have this for you:
because with an obvious one you know what you got and you realize the difference right away.
So I would strongly reccomend to get rid of one of the three font sizes. I think it will make the overall appearance much calmer and more consistant. (If I had to do it, I would change "page up" & "page down"... trying to bring it so the same size as the "end" etc. by just using "up" and "down" (the spacing for "down" between letters has a little room for you to save width I think)... and everybody knows it's "page" anyways.
Maybe this also works for "print" instead of "print screen"... what you're doing right here is to have all three caps with dual lines/words... to make a variation there would make it more inconsistant.
I know this is difficult and it also doesn't make a lot of sense to make the "F"row and "Esc" smaller.
The only thing that meets my eye here is that (again) the "pageup" and "pagedown" icons appear as very long (especially compared to "pos1" and "end" (which I like a lot) and also rather heavy and a little over-present because of the horizontal strokes. I would look for a simpler solution there. (your "ins" is very elegant for example)
One very tiny thing: I would think about whether I need the dots inside the circles of the "print screen"icon. Without it should look cleaner.
the key next to space invader (don't know what it's called) could bleed in the middle... these strokes in the middle are very very thin.
Also I'd be concerned about bleeding with those white dots inside your Robot.

I know this is difficult and it also doesn't make a lot of sense to make the "F"row and "Esc" smaller.
Thank you for bringing this out. My original idea was to use just two font sizes and place all the top right legends on one line. (look at a preliminary mock-up: http://i.imgur.com/D5vz2aC.jpg ) I still think that THAT is the right way to go.
Problem is that people crucified me for that. They go in division-by-zero if they don't read the whole word and I've been vehemently asked to write everything down. That's what I did and unfortunately I have to reduce font size for that.
I tried to reduce the space between letters, but I'm not a big fan of that (look at how inconsistent the realforce legends are).
So. Any suggestions?The only thing that meets my eye here is that (again) the "pageup" and "pagedown" icons appear as very long (especially compared to "pos1" and "end" (which I like a lot) and also rather heavy and a little over-present because of the horizontal strokes. I would look for a simpler solution there. (your "ins" is very elegant for example)
Mh, I haven't thought about that. Maybe I could simply reduce the size of the horizontal lines... Thanks for noticing anyway I'll have a look at it.One very tiny thing: I would think about whether I need the dots inside the circles of the "print screen"icon. Without it should look cleaner.
I agree they are not strictly necessary.
the key next to space invader (don't know what it's called) could bleed in the middle... these strokes in the middle are very very thin.
There's very little I can do here. That is a logo and I can't change it too much. Actually I've already increased the spacings here and there. I could remove the middle strokes but that wouldn't be the same logo anymore. SP will let me have a test run, so I guess if it turns out too mangled, I'll work on something.Also I'd be concerned about bleeding with those white dots inside your Robot.
I wanted to avoid a big chunk of black, but maybe I can break it with a belt.

some more insight.
for PRINT SCREEN and smaller sized legends I had to reduce font AND increase letter spacing because I had also to add some outline to make it uniform (it would be too thin otherwise). So reducing letter spacing on small legends is really a no-no.
I could live with PGUP and PGDN, as I said, that's how it was meant, but people don't like it, I don't really know why. I'm a bit tied here. We discussed about it in the IC and very few was agreeing with me... so... I may try to make a poll but I guess I already know the result.
Do what you think will make the set turn out the best :thumb:
I like it. The "DOWN" is still well spaced.
Also the vertical space between the two words feels better now.
I am in favor of PGUP and PGDN, but I am only one person.

You shouldn't do a poll for a space, this is nonsense. Elias pointed some other problems that are way better to spend your energy.
Looking for text modifiers if anyone has an extra set or if they don't want it.I think I have what you're looking for into my unused caps (http://deskthority.net/post159043.html#p159043) I'm in France, could be a problem with shipping price :/
Can pay ASAP :)
Ok, first of all I can't make a poll for each micro change to layout. That would be insane, also considering that we don't have much time left to finalize the legends. We had the IC and nobody argued about the two words BACK SPACE then. I just tried the one word version and I will be posting it soon.
Regarding INS/INSERT, DEL/DELETE, PAGE UP/PGUP, etc.
The most important thing to maintain imho is font size consistency. There's no way we can fit the word INSERT into a 1u keycap without reducing the font size. This would mean reducing the font size for all mods.
Originally I wanted all mods abbreviated, but I've been criticized for that, so here we are. If you can suggest a viable solution I'll be more than happy to implement it.
Yep. I quite like it as it is, and GB-yers liked this set from the beginning anyway. So - finalize it, and to production :)
Best only to have filled shapes (vectors) with no outline at all... via *.eps should be fine.

Solution: don't let anyone tell you how to do your stuff. It is YOUR gb, you should do what you think is best. And i like them legends abbreviated, too.

I tried to consolidate the outlines with the shape but it really takes a lot of time. Is there an easy way to do that?
there is a rather simple way... here's what you do (should be possible with almost all illustrator versions):
(Example picture is from typing to having the simplest possible vector outline that shouldn't create any problems)
1.Type
2.select a stroke and weight for the typo (already done in first pic)
3.from menu select "type" / "create outlines"
4.from menu select "object" / "path" / "outline stroke"
now it should look a little complicated like in the pic.
5.interselect with white arrow everything inside thats not needed (like shown)
6.hit backspace
done.

Personally, I trust your judgment. You have done a great job so far and I don't want to add extra work for 'nice to haves'.
I would say that if you are happy with the art work, then go with it and don't listen to the couple voices that will complicate your life. IMO.
okay I hopefully fixed all the errors.
Please review the legends and let me know if you spot any typo or inconsistency.

I modified the page up/down like soShow Image(http://i.imgur.com/jr7acz1.png)
I reduced letter spacing of a fraction of a mm and increased font size. "DOWN" is a pinch outside the "safe area" but still in the printable area. Since I'll have a test run I believe we can risk.
Yeah dude i think the silent majority doesn't really care. Just try to be consistent and go with it. I'm not bothered about "backspace" or "back space" etc. The mock ups have been available for a long time now.

Is there any reason why the Amiga legends was changed to red? Aren't the real ones in black?Because the Cherry-made Amiga keyboards had red Amiga keys, see http://deskthority.net/wiki/Amiga (http://deskthority.net/wiki/Amiga)

Update on my mistake of buying only the base set, I emailed whoever was managing this (at SP) and asked them if they could either add me a mod set or refund me, and they just refunded me. So that was nice.

thanks to all who participated!
Quick update.
A fellow on DT kindly printed all the legends with a proofing device. Thanks to him I've been able to fix many small errors, including (but not limited to):
- bolder | and \
- bigger *
- lighter blues and reds
- thinner ^
- better line width uniformity in the mono-legend
- bigger , and . in the mono legends
- various correction in the nerdom
- better centered legends in the international kits
I'm now waiting for a print proof from SP.

This kit is going to be high quality. I wonder how many other kits have this much thought and work put into them, especially from real keyboard enthusiasts! :thumb:None at all :)

Matt - you've viewed the RGB pbt plastic in person correct? Going off the SP resource guide the red, yellow, and orange seem a few shades brighter than the green and blue

we do not have much choice in terms of shades of colors. I tried to pick the ones with the closest saturation. Anyway thanks for the heads up, I'll have one last check on them.
My PayPal account have been charged, but I haven't received any confirmation after the opt-in period ended. Should I be worried?I don't think you should be worried, but do contact SP and see if they can clarify, and send you an order confirmation.
This "order confirmation" - what sort of thing is that?
The only email I had regarding Granite is the PayPal invoice.
Am I missing something else?
I got a order confirmation from PMK listing everything I ordered.
I got a order confirmation from PMK listing everything I ordered.
Listing everything?
I got five "was Successful" mails for different parts, and I've been accurately charged via PayPal, but I didn't get a full invoice, and I definitely ordered more than 5 pieces...
tbc: I also ordered by CC.

I took a screen capture of my order as I confirmed it. I received an email confirmation of the original order. Checking my account on the PMK page shows the order status as "Complete", although I have received no further confirmation or communication about it.I can't see why you would be.
Should I be worried?
Thanks for the comments guys and rest assured we are still working on refining the system. I have a feeling that those of you that didn't receive a confirmation email from PMK means it was either sent to your spam or blocked completely by mail server. If you have any questions at all about your order - email me directly at mpetersen (at) solutionsinplastic (dot com). We are still verifying all of the payments and making sure everything went through correctly, so you may be hearing from us. If not and you have no questions - don't worry everything is on track.Glad to see you guys are still checking this thread. ;D Can't wait to see pics.
For all the international orders, we will be sending out an invoice via email to everyone that details all the items in the package. This will happen before the items ship, but will take some time. We also have changed our packaging procedure, so every international order will have a clear envelope on the outside with invoices for customs on the inside - hopefully this avoids everyone having to go directly to the post office.
For status: Sets are in production. This is a bit massive as there are 30 kits and we want to make sure we get every order right. I will do my best to post pictures as kits start coming off the production line...
Thanks for your patience with our new system while we work the bugs out!

Damn! Now I am going to get dinged with about $50 in import charges. :(
This set just got a whole lot more expensive for international buyers.
The problem with SP shipping the caps is that they will value the package according to what we pay rather than the value of the materials in the box.
If they just valued the package according to the COST of the goods rather than the marked up value we pay, it would save us a lot of money. I hate paying import fees on a manufacturers markup.
Sad panda... :(

i'm really confused...I've never seen a company ever show their cost...much less in an invoice outside of the package.
i've been pretty lucky. not a single cent paid for duty from usps shipments. will these be sent in usps?
I am confused; have they been sent out already? People are talking about import duties and USPS shipments, but I haven't received any shipping notifications. The only thing I received was a PayPal email saying I was charged for the sets that I purchased.Nope. It's in production.

I know it sucks, but with the scale and automation with which SP is conduction these group buys they have become a commercial product. It's no longer just a few geek hackers getting together to have a few laps made. They are processing hundreds of orders. I can't expect SP to fudge with their forms and basically lie about their product for the sake of international shipping. I too will import this set to the EU and i feel your pain, but other than having a proxy i am not sure what SP can do for you.
Wow that sucks! I didn't know about brokerage fees etc! This whe tax thing is madnessWell, theoretically you can act as a broker yourself, but it involves a trip to the customs, so... no. Just... no.
How much longer until I should expect to have them arrive at my house?
No rush at all. Just curious how many more days to wait. I am just excited.

I'm pretty sure the sublimating process takes longer than double-shot

This may be a newbie question, but how is the sublimating process implemented at high volume production?
so what are the differences between dye sublimation and double shot?
also pros and cons of each?
so what are the differences between dye sublimation and double shot?
also pros and cons of each?
dye sub - the lettering is dyed into the plastic. much more durable than pad printed. basically no one does double shot (DS) PBT caps because of the properties of PBT, so this is basically the best option for PBT caps.
doubleshot (DS) - are actually two different color plastics that are injected at different times. So a first mold is shot for part of the cap and a second shot will fill in the voids left by the first shot. this means that the lettering is completely through the cap, so it can never wear out. these are most common with ABS caps.
that good enough of a description?

They do, SP have done double-shot PBT keycaps in the past, I've bought them. Please ask Melissa about them.
Vortex manufactures DS PBT caps, as it was pointed already. Also SP had produced some, what I do know for sure is a modifiers set, I have it under my fingers right now.

Really sorry for being so late to the party, but i have some questions.
1) Does this group buy appeal to TKL keyboards as well?
2) If yes, are there any leftovers left? :D
Granite set has characteristics that make it a very special set: It has a special combination of icon modifiers, that is something no other set has, AFAIK, and that cannot be reproduced with the DS molding process unless you pay for the hefty price to get the legends molds build. The profile of the caps is DSA, with spherical top, unified shape, and low height, that allows a variety of layouts to be implemented. The PBT with sublimated legends make it a long, long, long lasting set of keycaps. In my humble opinion Granite cannot be compared with any other set currently available. I challenge you to find something that matches it.You are making me more excited to receive it
AFAIK SP can't doubleshot a full set in PBT.
PBT is very durable and way better than ABS, especially for the spacebar.
Not only that but PBT doesn't yellow over time (or yellowing is very low compare to ABS). I have lego sets (in ABS) that are already yellowing after 1 year.
Dye sublimation is also very durable (look at Model M keyboards) and you can design the legends exactly the way you want them. With double-shot you are confined to the available molds.

The PBT with sublimated legends make it a long, long, long lasting set of keycaps. In my humble opinion Granite cannot be compared with any other set currently available. I challenge you to find something that matches it.
AFAIK SP can't doubleshot a full set in PBT.
PBT is very durable and way better than ABS, especially for the spacebar.
Not only that but PBT doesn't yellow over time (or yellowing is very low compare to ABS). I have lego sets (in ABS) that are already yellowing after 1 year.
Dye sublimation is also very durable (look at Model M keyboards) and you can design the legends exactly the way you want them. With double-shot you are confined to the available molds.Granite set has characteristics that make it a very special set: It has a special combination of icon modifiers, that is something no other set has, AFAIK, and that cannot be reproduced with the DS molding process unless you pay for the hefty price to get the legends molds build.

basically what you guys are saying is
PBT Dysub Granite DSA is for ALL DAY, EVERY DAY
this is essentially the "end game" set for many. especially ErgoDox Users I am really looking forward to it and hope that if it works out more SP dyesub DSA is coming :)
my poor hyperfuse dsa set, i used it so much that half of the keys is really shiny and slippery (same thing happened to one of my retro dsa set as well) really hoping this set doesn't shine easy. My HHKB, also PBT except the space bar, lacks any shine and i used that hardcore for 6 months.

I do not see any reason for that but some cash back and staying away from KB mania :p . If there is one set I may not consider to sell it would be this Granite. I may sell my already semi shiny original Cherries instead. LOL.
Quick update.Thanks for the update, Matt3o :thumb:
Production is ongoing but I won't be receiving the print proof before late next week. My unproven impression is that PBT/sublimated are a little bit longer to manufacture.

Hum, that means I must have those caps after the RMLL2014 in July :( That sucks a lil bit, I couldn't pick up girls with those splendid sets until the 2015 reunion :D
I had no idea keycap sets could help you score with women.
Woman (swooning): "Mmmm.... you smell like comic books."
was a joke : RMLL means "free software worldwide meeting" in french so most of people will looks more like Richard Stallman than Felicia Day :)
It's hard to seduce with keyboard even if the Valentine set can be a nice gift.

Nearing the one month since group buy close. Any speculation/updates to report?
The sublimated set may need more time than the DS due to the printing process.

It shouldn't be that long because it's done by machines. The reason it's long is because they have to make a test set, send it to Matteo, then Matteo has to give them the confirmation to start production. Since he lives in Italy, it will take 1-2 months for them to send it to him and him to send it back. It's all communications and logistics. The actual production can be easily done in one day.

sorry, this is not the case. I'll review the key caps from pictures, not optimal but faster.
the reason it is taking longer is: 1) the GB is HUGE with really a lot of kits, 2) it's a two step process: mould the key caps first, sublimate then.
Oh, SP sent a mail - they are almost finished all molding :)In case anyone missed it:
First let me start this email with a apology for taking so long to send out a status report on this group buy! We are so pleased at the response we received on this group buy - it definitely exceeded our expectations!! Many thanks to Matteo for creating such a great design!
We are currently finishing up the molding of the last few keycaps needed for this set, we will then move into sublimation. We are also in the process of testing and tweaking the first few sublimated sets - once ready, we will send them to Matteo for his final stamp of approval - this should happen next week, then we move into full sublimation production. Once I have Matteo's approval, I will send out a few pictures of the sets as they come off the press (I will also be posting these to the GeekHack thread as well).
For shipping, when sets are completed and packaged up, you will receive a tracking number from Stamps.com - we won't be emailing these directly to you, so be sure to look out for the email from Stamps (may end up in your spam or junk folders). We are still a few weeks away from getting these out - this set was so much larger than we anticipated (but are grateful for this!).
Should you have any questions about your individual orders, please feel free to contact me directly - I am here to help!

DSA is not for everyone. Expect sets for sale when im they start coming in. I'd camp the classifieds as soon as you see pics.
If you really want one of these sets, be patient, and stay on-line. I am afraid you are not alone waiting for some sets to go on sale, though.
In my experience after I have been using cherry profile for three years, the use of the DSA profile did not give me an instant gratification, however as I have been using my Macross set for some weeks now, I would not go back to the cherry profile anymore. So this upcoming Granite set would be my daily driver for some years to come.
I really like the look of the Macross set, the large and clear legends, the way the set looks on my keyboard, the colors. I just hope the legends in the Granite were as bold, and nice as the Macross ones are. Of course sublimated legends will be different than DS ones, but I'd like to see them to come as nice as the DS ones are. Besides, the nice icons the Matt designed for the modifiers are way too cool to let this set passes by.
Just curious.. is DSA easier to adjust to than SA profile? I've never used anything DSA yet.. but very much looking forward to this set.I got used to it really quickly, but everyone is different.
DSA more closely mimics laptop keyboards than any other profile. So your love of dsa will be at least a little bit related.
more so than any other profile wouldn't you agree?
it's the lowest of all profiles AND it has uniform rows.
sort of like a chiclet board. they're short and their heights are uniform on all rows.

Overall I'm satisfied by the end result
The legend reflects the grainy texture, but consider that this is a super close up. The numlock was one of the "problematic" legends with lines close to each other and still it came out really really well.
if you look at it at 1:1 is simply fantastic.Show Image(https://i.cloudup.com/l2Hl06_6qp.jpg)

Have you installed those you received onto a Cherry keyboard yet only to see if all the keys are correctly spaced from one another?
Always with dye-subbing the keys get re-heated to accept the print applied and that is when they lose their shape somewhat (BSP key-sets all exhibit that behaviour). Only way to tell if the dye-sub process was successful, if all the keys fit perfectly onto any keyboard first and you could see if it all worked out.
The keys seems indeed slightly warped, but that is to be understood with PBT.

it's alright... I figure you don't have a problem unless you have to refresh so many open threads that when you're done with the last one so much time has passed that you can seamlessly start over checking the first again ;)
My favorite is the escape icon key. It is super cool.
Man they look so good.
WTB ALL YOUR GRANTIE
Legends look great - hoping keys are a bit darker than recent pic suggests - they're so light they don't look as unique/bold as the mock-up colors.
Update: Messing round in photoshop pasting the pics into the render - I think the recent pics just have a yellow hue/cast from the camera :)

Any new pictures?
Granite UPDATE!!
I know I am full of excuses and I really must thank you all for being so patient with us on this group buy! To start off, this is the first time we are actually using the DSA Sublimation fixture, which means that while it is ready for use, there was still some tweaking that needed to be done. We had to print, measure, adjust, print, measure, adjust, and so on... I HOPE to have all the sets to Matteo to approve by tomorrow, which means we can actually begin full scale production. We plan to be shipping full orders as they are complete and coming off the press line, so please be patient if someone says theirs has shipped and you haven't heard yet. We will get everyone's order out as soon as possible.
We have also sent out all of the international invoices - if you haven't received yours, make sure to check your spam folder. We will be shipping to the addresses listed on the invoices, so if you notice any discrepancies or have moved since your purchase please let us know.
Thanks again for your continued patience!

Created an account. Also contacted Melissa a few weeks back, asking why I didn't get any updates (as I had seen some reported in this thread), and she said she put me on the mailing list. Something had happened with my mail address somehow. But I was wondering if they send these information mails to all at once (mailing list) or in waves to a select few at a time.. It seems a little like the latter.

My only problem with the Icons (even though I ordered a set because they are beautiful) is they don't instantly conjure meaning as to what they are supposed to represent.Just put whatever you want wherever it looks nice.
Though I figure I'll get a hang of it once I use them for a while. (Is there a cheat-sheet for them somewhere?)
Otherwise, I'm so stoked for this set. I can't wait to find a place for those kitties.

Matt is saying that there will not be a round2 of this set unfortunately.
I do know what you mean though. When I first signed up there were 2 or 3 group buys starting to ship out that I would have loved to been in on.
Luckily Feng had a decent selection of IMSTO PBT sets on his eBay store, and I just started buying those. Which is why now I'm mostly addicted to Cherry PBT keycaps.
guys, I will try to grab from SP the print proofs, if that would be possible I might be able to share some spares (no promises).
That being said here's the Россия-МатушкаShow Image(http://i.imgur.com/2JTTfpw.jpg)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/nKQ0wFT.jpg)
that yellow redefines the meaning of yellow.
The only coloured ones we haven't seen is the blue Enter - would it be the same blue as these (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=56354.msg1339976#msg1339976)?We haven't seen RGB Icon either, iirc.

Is the blue enter a different blue from the RGB mods?

Hoping to see another run of this group buy. A little sad that I didn't find this website/forum until after this buy was all said and done.
I'm kinda cheesed about the Amiga A's going red at the last minute but I understand the Cherry connection on the A2000? i think, so meh I'll survive, it looks great.
Also perhaps not the best place but just putting it out there -
Any of you 20 people out there who ordered the mono-legend international kit, If you want to trade your space invader cap for almost anything in the Nerdom kit, I'd appreciate your PM. I would have bought it for that cap alone had I realised, but it's too late now... Or if anyone from SP is paying attention, you can slip one in my order, i won't mind :P
The yellow is superb - there is no other way of saying it.
Thank you again for including these :D
The orange is a bonus :)

I just get more and more excited with every photo... when these finally arrive I'm going to spread all my keys out in a giant pile and just roll around in them for a bit :p
I was tempted to get the Cyrillic kit. I'm now depressed that I didn't.
Again, I'd like to thank Matt3o for this. This is a great set with an amazing attention to detail.

Just built my Ergodox, and man, I could really use the Granite + Ergodox kit right now WITH LEGENDS. Using the blank keycaps right now and it's like learning to type all over again.
we picked them from a document I can't find right now. they are pretty standard apart from FN, alt gr and pause/break
mass production has started.
All legends have been reviewed apart from the international kits.
That's great :) If i understood correctly - cyrillic kit was already reviewed? ;)

Yep, I saw it. It was great, truly great - this nice and clean print, colors... ;)
And as I don't have any international kits in my order, I could get it slightly earlier ;)

nope, sorry, AFAIK all orders will be shipped together.
How will they be calculating who they will ship to first?

How will they be calculating who they will ship to first?
I think it is based on which orders are ready based on the order things are produced.
So if you only bought what was produced first, your order will go out first.
If you bought lots of different options, your order will not ship till the last component is produced.
Granite UPDATE!!
I know I am full of excuses and I really must thank you all for being so patient with us on this group buy! To start off, this is the first time we are actually using the DSA Sublimation fixture, which means that while it is ready for use, there was still some tweaking that needed to be done. We had to print, measure, adjust, print, measure, adjust, and so on... I HOPE to have all the sets to Matteo to approve by tomorrow, which means we can actually begin full scale production. We plan to be shipping full orders as they are complete and coming off the press line, so please be patient if someone says theirs has shipped and you haven't heard yet. We will get everyone's order out as soon as possible.
We have also sent out all of the international invoices - if you haven't received yours, make sure to check your spam folder. We will be shipping to the addresses listed on the invoices, so if you notice any discrepancies or have moved since your purchase please let us know.
Thanks again for your continued patience!
I don't know if this is prior the email I got from Melissa. Anyway, yesterday she said mass production has started for the sets that have been reviewed. So we will soon find out.
Is it possible to get one?

I follow the IC thread forever, disappear for a few months, then miss the GB. One day I'll get some blank DSAs.
Any news, anyone? ;)
do you think they'll be shipped out before the end of may?
I believe mid of June (just my guess)
I believe we are still a couple of weeks afar from delivery.
no news yet, sorry guys. I still need to see the international kits.

VERY curious to see these new Granites in Matt's possession. Of course we need to see a host of potato shots for us to salivate over, like perverts in a strip club :thumb: .
But it still won't be as good as when we get them in our own hot little hands!
yeah sorry guys for being a *****, but I'll get the set before anyone else :P I'll post pictures as soon as I get them.
mass distribution will happen hopefully in 5-10 days from now.

Soggy, oily brown paper bags.Just as God intended.
plot twist: it's not water that makes them soggy...
5-10 days for the orders without INTL, add 5 days for INTL. Please note I've been pretty pessimistic in my forecast

damn i want this set so bad, hard to be patient
my hyperfuse DSA and retro DSA are both really shiny and slippery, my greasy sweaty fingers seem to destroy expensive ABS sets, i need me some dyesub PBT to bring the texture back! my HHKB never shined up the way these ABS and POM sets I have did.

This was a very successful GB, therefore, I think SP will be very careful to not leave a bad impression with a cheap package. While the nice TY box that was included with the very first GB may be only for the first one, I think that due to the high demand and unique characteristics of this second set, they may want not to drop the ball at this last detail.

oh yeah, POM feels wet after awhile, at least the set i grabbed from my G80-11900
PBT ftw
I wonder if SP will be opening up certain sets for purchase later on?
Keep an eye out in the next round of Crap Bags for PBT DSA Granite-like keycaps ;)There will probably be a lot of the light blue legends from the INTL and nerdom kits in there.
PMK setup a lot of new processes for this GB, AFAIK.
Which might suggest some trial and error.

Did you not get a discounted rate? The rates I get are very reasonable - - far cheaper than FedEx and UPS.
Amazon's rates are even more amazing with DHL...

I finally got the Granite, I still miss the international legends, but what I have is simply CAPSTASTIC!
The print resolution is better than I expected and the legends are all perfect in both thickness and position. I totally love this set. It is great to type on and to see.

and cyrillicSo glad I got these. They look so great! ;DShow Image(http://i.imgur.com/1ZPjkD6.jpg)
Indeed the cyrillic set looks really nice.
So, overall the set is fantastic, with few very little problems. The kitty-cap is a bit too complicated, I had to make the legend as large as possible and it didn't turned out as cute as I wanted, but it's nice nonetheless. Same goes for the cherry MX switch from top. Too complex graphics don't come very well (noted for the next time).
Everything else is perfect. The legends are well sized and thickness is good. Legends alignment is good overall but I'd say 1 over 50 legend is slightly shifted on a side (not my fault but due to the sublimation process).
Anyway the legend definition is really good and as I already said better than I expected. To me this is the definitive DSA white/gray set.
PS: thanks Mooby
Damn, I'm really kicking myself for not getting in on this when I had the chance. Those keys look phenomenal! Is there any chance that a vendor like techkeys or someone else ordered some?

There will be a second round. But it won't be within the next few months. If you're patient you will get the chance to grab your granite set.
there will be a round 2 sooner or later (like there will be a round 2 of DSA Retro), but don't hold your breath AND please note that it will be slightly different from this one.

Did any vendors buy many sets? Happens sometimes.
These look better than ever, I just hope I like typing on DSA :p
Thank you very much for sharing the progress so far, Matt3o!
If you plan to make more of those plates, I would definitely buy a couple. I could use the Enabler to hand wire it which would probably make it a bit more affordable to build. A PCB would be good too. :) I am very interested in that layout. If you ever plan to make more plates like that please PM me. :)
I think I love that layout. I've been on the market for a programmable 60% and universal plate, but I haven't been able to come up with a layout that has dedicated arrow keys [or a function set that feels like arrow keys] the bottom row never works out with 1u and I hate 1.25 arrow keys. [thats kbt race -.-]
I would love to at least try that layout.

What set do you have to buy to get the "FN" key that is the same size as the CAPS LOCK?You would've had to get the Text Pro Mods for that key, I believe.
Because I use a Poker II, and I used the dip switches to change my caps lock into a function key instead. I only ordered the basic set and text modifiers. I hope the FN key is included in those :\

Oh and the caps look great too. :) Looking forward to getting mine.
that would be my custom 65%. Wood sides, alu switches plate, steel bottom plate. A thing of beauty :) Here it is with another DSA keyset (http://i.imgur.com/G3NEB7a.jpg)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/1OsTxY6.jpg)
Heh, nice coaster ;D
glad someone noticed. for the records, it's a microsoft mouse drivers disk. Prehistorical.
Also, still wtb all your granite. plz pm me :)You ain't gettin' mine, sucka :cool:
But that way we can get something unique ;)
And more importantly, at a reasonable price. Bulk buying power = substantially lower costs.I have the impression you didn’t understand my argument?
I think something is odd with the whole GB concept. At first we try to get a high amount of orders to hit the MOQ and reduce prices. Then, after deadline, tons of people want to order, but they can’t anymore. We all lose money this way. I guess alot of people want to see a prototype in a nice presentation before they’re getting in, isn’t it?

It's the chicken and the egg. Some won't invest until they've seen a prototype, but without investors a prototype is unaffordable.
The cons I see are that we may have to commit sight unseen, and wait much longer than most of us are used to.
but is not in such high demand that sustained production can be justifiedWell, I don’t think so. When we speak economically, demand of luxury goods is’nt “there” beforehand, it is generated, and how high it is depends to a good degree how many people you’re reaching with your marketing. We need keycaps as much as jewelry hanging around our necks, it’s about appetite which has to be be roused. First you need to reach many people. For example it would be sensible, if the admins allowed Groupbuys to get an icon on the main page of geekhack.org. Then you have to make a good ad (photos, prototypes, explanations why someone should buy it). And then demand gets sky high. Not the other way around.
They are final. I believe shipping starts next week
almost forgot this is an intl forum. by "next" week I mean this week for those funky countries where week starts on Sunday.
Even better!
Although it will be a good 3 weeks or so before they actually arrive over here.

Is this not the case?
If people could order past the deadline, that wouldn't be a deadline... :) When the GB closes, funds are taken from your paypal account and production starts. You can't take more orders. The only thing you can do is run a round 2.
Well, the granite looks popular enough for SP to make some extra sets and sell it on their site if they wanted to.Matt3o has said a gorillion times that he hasn't given SP permission to use his designs, so I doubt that will happen.
Of course maybe this isn't a good enough reason and especially since there're so many sets to produce and not all of them will sell..

People may say they want to buy something after the GB dead line, but that does not necessarily mean they would actually had bought it if it was available. They may just be expressing some frustration due to they had not done their minds on time.
Good news is that dispatch may start really soon (today or tomorrow).

People are so quick to say "oh man I just missed this group buy" or w.e and then when the opportunity comes back they don't buy into it.
Like this listing for PBT keyset: http://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/28f5ef/buyingnavy_blue_15mm_thick_pbt_leopold_keycaps/ciae9gu (http://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/28f5ef/buyingnavy_blue_15mm_thick_pbt_leopold_keycaps/ciae9gu) I check the listed days after and it was still 3 left in stock.
This is not what we paid for.
I can live with red but this kind of approximation and improvisation is not a good attitude for a vendor or a maker.
The worst is put such a sour note on the monumental work Matt3o has made.

I may be biased since I didn't order an international set, but...
let's look at the big picture...
This is a pretty minor issue. So many group buys (Redline, GH60, $60 60% case) have incredible delays or shenanigans. Overall, this group buy has been well-executed, timely, and well-run. Production issues do happen. I don't think this one needs to spoil the entire GB.
In my opinion there are two options when a production issue occurs.
You either try to fix it (in this case make them red), or say tough luck and don't make them at all. While people may be upset because "that's not really what I ordered," and I totally understand that. Would you rather A: Have something that is ugly (and still isn't what you ordered) due to production issues, or B: not get it at all?
At least the Red has a precedent based on the Cyrillic set.
SP is still trying to make blue work, so there's still hope. But red is a more than acceptable alternative (and our safest bet).
In the meantime... this is monologendShow Image(http://i.imgur.com/BvEZlJM.jpg)
Agreed however unless it was stated somewhere that the production colors may differ from the mock-ups (not just slightly different, but entirely), the best way to handle to the situation would be to allow refunds on sets to those who do not wish to have the red option, or credit them for sets in the future.

It boils down to what PMK wants to do, because like it or not they're one of the few platforms that runs keyset groupbuys on their site and this only impacts a small portion of their buyers. Until there's real competition this might be a drop in the bucket issue to them.
Signature plastics has sent you a package :), I've been waiting for that email.Eh, seriously?

Oh my god people are making such a big deal about the international legends. I've got them ordered as well and I don't care if they are red or blue. I prefer blue but totally accept red or even green. It is how it is, we are such an entitled bunch here.Even as someone who didn't order the intl legends, I don't think that's very fair to say.

Bhaaa i'm in a dark mood because Italy lost at world cup.No problem, as long as you don’t live in Uruguay, because I’m sure matt3o canceld shipping to Uruguay, har har har.

My ErgoDox is ready. :)
Matt3o, you've been posting a lot of lovely photos, but you haven't told us how the key caps feel.
Are they glorious?
Haven't gotten mine yet. Has anyone in the US gotten their shipping notification yet?
Hmmm.... I wonder... when I'll get mine? :)

If you are referring to the keycaps (and not the shipping notification), maybe before me, as packages usually take around 3 weeks to get from US to Australia.

it's the third legend that is colored, the main 2 are black. We need to use a color because our layout is centered and the off-centered "alt gr" legends need to have a lower visual weight. Blue would be perfect, red will work anyway.Oh, that makes sens (about the centered layout), my ducky shine 3 use centered layout and the third legend do seems out of place. My, keycaps design sure is a science by itself ;)

We are back on DEFCON 5, blue has been mastered. Legends will be as advertised, sorry for the false alarm.

Ehhh...Exactly what problems are with cyrillic? It looked fine on your set, so what the big deal?
it's really a small thing. I didn't even notice from the pictures, but I did notice when the keys arrived.
No big deal, really. A pretty minor issue and anyway all main alpha legends are fine.

It could be that those who have had their order shipped only ordered a few sets and those sets finished production first. I ordered 6 different sets and have not gotten a shipping notification yet either.

This set comes together very nicely!! Even without the colored mods (WTB colored mods). The enter key I got from the SP grab bag from earlier this year. I have a couple extra but they have some imperfections on them.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/gV4RH1s.jpg)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/CmtnZbh.jpg)
Now for the one downside I found, not sure if I just got unlucky or if this is a known problem. For some of the key caps that require stabilizers, in one of the stems part of the mold keeps a co-star white clip thing from going all the way into the stem. For you guys rocking cherry stabilizers, I don't think this will be an issue. When I actually use these keys they are fine but I figured I would go ahead and point it out. I tried to get a picture of it but it didn't come out too well. I hope you guys can see what I mean.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/DM32Wdz.jpg)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/2Fyvu9o.jpg)
On a completely off topic side note, can the next set be based around Jet Set Radio/Jet Set Radio Future? This definitely doesn't have anything to do with listening to the sound track while I put these caps on. ;D

Glad you like it... something is a little off about it for me... the ergodox internals seem to compete, visually, rather than complement. not the fault of the granite, of course.

Pretty happy with how it turned out on my Ergodox, though I do wish I had ordered a few more options. I somehow managed not to get a Tab key (oops, got text pro modifiers and not text modifiers -- should have bought both) for instance and would have liked a few other options to mix in. All in all, though, very happy!

Any interest to see this on a white Ducky Shine 3 with white back lighting? Its a full size(there are dozens of us!) but should still help out if anyone wants to see it on a keyboard that has a white case.

If you don't do it, I will. I assume you were a part of the recent massdrop order too? :D
When I got my order, I realized I completely forgot to order an Ergodoxian kit -- only got the blanks. Did anybody pick up an extra? I can trade Cyrillic or something else you need.
I believe I do have an extra ergodoxian kit. I had an ergodox when I placed the order but now that is not the case. I'll check it out when I get home today after work and make sure everything is there and accounted for.
Love it. Here is mine!
I thought maybe I hadn't received my shipping confirmation because of the colored mods or the novelty keys but it looks like you received both of those.
Maybe it's the text colored mods?
Just a quick update on the Granite Group Buy shipping:
We are still producing keycap sets and are shipping them as they are completed. We are trying to get these all out this week, but with the holiday at the end of the week (we are closed both Thursday and Friday) are not sure if it is possible. You will receive a tracking number from Stamps.com as soon as your order ships.
Thanks!

I just got mine this morning. I hope you get yours soon. If not I think there is no reason for worrying though.

Looks like I've ordered wrong set, don't have enough keys for my ergodox, this is what I've ordered: Common, text modifiers, ErgoDoxian
And I still missing 1u 2xCtrl, 2xAlt and few more keycaps you can see from screenshot.
Probably I've should order Text Modifiers pro instead :( or some blank keycaps.

If you want something that matches the mods you could try buying one of the blank grey kits on pimpmykeyboard. They have the same color code as the granite mods(GDE). I just ordered a numpad kit to have some extra 1u blanks and it already shipped. It should be here by saturday; If you want I'll let you know if they actually match before you put in an order.
It would be great if you can check if they match, thanks for pointing me to this set!
Just checked on their website, and it looks like numpad set will not fit since it have only x1 and x2 keys, but I also need 1.5.
The one I need is "ErgoDox Modifier set".

Why do you have to pay taxes if Canada is part of the NAFTA?
You need to register a certificate to declare something as NAFTA. (Quite a lot of pages to declare/sign/provide for every shipment)
100% of the materials would also have to be sourced within North America, including plastics, dye, box, etc.
Anything above $20 is subject to customs fees, but many items usually pass when they're declared under $200. Taylor had quite a large order, so the tax collectors decided to jump on his package.

Just received mine here in Australia :D
Mine is apparently "Missed delivery - Scheduled for another delivery attempt today" at about 8am today.
I thought they only did one delivery per day, and not on weekends. So looks like I won't get to play with it this weekend, a shame 'cause I have today (Friday) off work too.

He is in Australia, not America. Very different gun laws. I doubt he owns a gun.
Man really wish I would have also gotten Cyrillic, Blank RGB's, & Lost and Found.

Good your package has arrived and you have everything you had paid for. So now we want to see some decent keyboards filled with these new works of art ;D .

I have noticed a bit of uneven spacing - the gap between K and L, for example, is much wider than elsewhere on the keyboard. The 3# seems to be slightly closer to the space bar than the rest of the number row. Nothing that glaring, nothing rubbing against anything else, but for the perfectionist or OCD sufferer it might be noticable.

I'm still looking for any granite I can get my hands on.
Namely common kit, mods, icon mods pro, nerdom, any Space Invaders keys I can get.
Will consider everything else!
In regards to the spacings. I've noticed the on all my DSA sets. It's extremely noticeable if you shine back lights beneath them, you can see the warp on the sides of some keys.
Set up another board, a CMS QF XT:
(http://s27.postimg.org/55bxbpg2n/MG_1313.jpg) (http://postimg.org/image/55bxbpg2n/)
I was noticing the legends on the Cyrillic set looked rather grey than black so I took a closer look:
(http://s27.postimg.org/5xelawk9r/MG_2413.jpg) (http://postimg.org/image/5xelawk9r/)
My Cyrillic set is not as sharp as the base set... the 'B' 'H' & 'O' keys most noticeably show the same kind of slight fade towards the top of the legend - I'll try to take some example photos if I get a chance today or tomorrow. IMO it is not very noticeable unless looking *very* closely in person, or if comparing both key sets side by side.
There are also keys that are slightly warped; if you look at my photo* the spacing between keys is not perfectly consistent, especially around the 'F' key on the Poker II & the 'E' key on the Rosewill. None of these tiny defects bother me really and I still think the set looks amazing, but if you are the type that can't stop seeing little defects once you've noticed them it might make you crazy. Good for those that want to pick some up on the classifieds I guess :p
edit: p.s. really cool chair you've got!
doubt edit: just realized my O key was on sideways thanks to your photos, lmao - DSA so sneaky!

I'm wondering if this is a bad set (and I have to contact SP for a replacement) or if it's an inherent problem w/ the process -- if you own a Cyrillic set, does it look the same or is your printing up to par w/ the other sets ?
I have noticed a bit of uneven spacing - the gap between K and L, for example, is much wider than elsewhere on the keyboard. The 3# seems to be slightly closer to the space bar than the rest of the number row. Nothing that glaring, nothing rubbing against anything else, but for the perfectionist or OCD sufferer it might be noticable.

Has anybody from Germany got the set yet? I am not really afraid something is wrong yet, but since guys from Australia already got their sets I am kinda curious ;)
I never got a shipping notice, but that seems to be mean nothing. I had a rather big order with the international kit among others...
I got a sachet of extra keys in place of my mono legends. Some of these aren't part of any set in particular, so far as I can tell. Does anyone have some insight into where these came from?

Regarding orders with international kits.
I believe orders with international kits will be processed last.
No, the international sets will not cause a delay in the order, they are being printed today and we are still printing many of the 'common' kits to fill orders.
International sets will have blue legends as illustrated in the picture on our website.
I hope this helps!

I really don't understand what you mean. The PBT color codes are fixed.
Well, color codes don't really mean anything if they can range between any shade of the primary color in that color code :-)

All PBT colors are the same all along the whole set. I still don't understand what you mean.

Regarding orders with international kits.
I believe orders with international kits will be processed last.
Regarding the Cyrillic set and sublimation in general.
It seems that the only way to have a very sharp and dark legend is by placing the legend straight in the middle. Legends that are near the edges might come out a little "blurry". This is something I didn't know and SP never mentioned.
Also, my Cyrillic set actually came out pretty well (not as bad as the pictures above at least), so I believe it's just a set up problem. Some kits might come up worse than others based on how well the sheet wrapped the keycaps during sublimation. In fact my kitty cap (the closest to the margin of the legends) is pretty much perfect, meaning that it mostly depends on the skill of the machinist.
Now, please note that a little color variation or blurriness is understand and should be considered within the error margin of the technology. If you feel that you received a flawed kit, send the pictures to SP and ask if the your set is within acceptable margin. Don't be and áss when asking, kindness will be awarded.
Regarding bent/warped keys.
DSA PBT is very well know to be less "flush" than ABS, there are a lot of pictures around of blank PBT DSA kits. Sublimated kits have to be heated again to print the legend, so warping is even more likely to happen. Again a little shape variation is understood. I prefer a set that is slightly warped to one that shines after 2 months of usage.
I don't think the stem could come out off center or at least it would be very difficult. It is more likely that it is just bent on a side.
Little imperfections can be actually fixed with a heat blower (I'm not sure a hair dryer is enough) and lot of patience. I'm not sure anyone can do it at home. If you look at my pictures none of the sets I have are noticeably (or unbearably) distorted, but if you fell that some of your keys are really too warped --again-- take a picture and ask SP if the error is within margin.
If you want an opinion before asking SP, send a picture of the culprit together with an OK cap here on the forum.
I'm in southern England and got "Attempted Delivery - Item being held, addressee being notified" on the Stamps tracking site.

I got my Granite set and a wire puller. At first I thought F5 - F8 were the same color as the modifiers. I guess I can't tell the difference between GDE and GQT. :)) I do wish that I got more than just the common kit and text mods, but I only had $75 to spend towards this group buy.

Got my order! These keys are beautiful!
But...
I think mine got packaged right before lunch or at the end of a shift, haha.
Got quite the goof in my package. My packing slip is correct though.
No scooped "F" or "J" in common kit
Mono Legends missing but probably because they were switched with International Mono, which I did not order (although I love the Space Invader key).
International Mono missing "É" also looks like some ink made it onto the edge of the 1x enter key.
These will go back in the box until it gets figured out.
great shots, naasfu!

When I saw the photo it looked like it was some body's lame attempt at making key-caps in their back-yard but Yikes it's a Company's Attempt at doing very bad PBT dye-sub.
Even the cheapest CHINESE attempt at making a complete Key-set is FAR SUPERIOR to SP's. What the HELL?
Another thing too, we also happened to have paid far more for these than any Chinese Made Sets. I'm still waiting for my Imsto's BSP version and I suspect theirs will be far better in quality than what's currently distributed here. Who would of thought that the Chinese now would make better quality PBT sets than the US of A.
Everyone is tip-toeing around too scared to say what every one is clearly seeing with their own eye's, like the hell I will be forced to play around with a fvcking HEAT-GUN to fix SP's mistakes.
As you can guess I'm no SP Fan-boy here when it comes to basic quality with key-caps, WHICH THEY HAVE FAILED in this attempt at making a PBT set. Imagine (me) sinking over $396.00USD + Shipping for CRAP looking key-caps such as these. Boy, got sucked in like a noob here.
Don't give a crap about any fan-boys opinion here, just had to type what I see here, especially losing so much money over these horrible quality key-caps that have ever come out of their factory thus far......... Word of advice for SP just stick to ABS leave PBT alone, for the sake of future land fill sites please.

odd i have no obvious alignment issues and the legends are crisp and black, if i read my emails correctly mine is part of a second batch. I'm thrilled mine is almost flawless but that does make me sad others were not as lucky.
edit: let me stress that im not implying that my set was perfect, if you put a ruler to the legends then there are alignment issues but you have to really want to see them to notice.
Most of the sets seem to be fairly right.
Only nayr's are way out of alignment.
Mine are not as bad as nayr's - I have only a few caps that are misaligned.
Looks like X is too far to the left - can you try putting the gray `~ where X is, but leave the Z and C in place.

I have batch-0 and they are very good (no blow gun, I could work on some keys a little but honestly they look quite good to me).Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/XLCh7Z2.jpg)
So the problem is not keycaps quality BUT quality control. It seems the keycaps can come out in span that goes from meh to gorgeous. (of course I hope all of you have fully pushed the keycaps down).
Regarding keycaps thickness they are ALL the same. Simply some pigments are more covering than others. White and blue are covering, yellow and red not so much. But of course this is not a backlight set!
Honestly this is one of the best sets I own and I'm not saying it because I designed it, if it turned out crappy I would have been extremely disappointed and I would have cursed SP forever. I am really sorry that SP can't guarantee a constant quality along the whole production and some of you might receive a not so good set.
inbefore 'dsa caps stuck on mx clears'
Not on clears but my right green shift is definitely stuck on my board with browns. Too scared to rip out the stem or stabilizers so its still on there. Wiggling doesn't seem to help.
I'm also pretty disappointed with this set. The set I received has alignment issues, the sides of the keys curve inwards slightly, and some keys have pretty nasty sprue marks. I'm surprised that imperfections like these came from a company that specializes in making keycaps. I've never seen these kinds of problems in any other keys I've ever used in my roughly 20 years of using computers. I participated in that TVS-e Gold keyboard group buy. Even the keys on that keyboard have better quality control than Signature Plastics keys.
However, matt3o's legend design is amazing and the dye sub is very crisp. It's quite eye catching from a distance until you sit down and see the imperfections in the plastic.
This thread went sour quick *gulp* I should be thankful mine looks ok and I absolutely love itSame.
The biggest offenders I have for warping are the shift keys. They don't sit flush on a flat surface in any direction (bottom edges curve in towards the middle and the left and right edges both curve up). Also num pad numbering seems off center. I'll try to get some decent pictures tomorrow when I have better light. I'll try to grab some close-ups of the various nicks/rough edges I have as well. I should also mention I don't mean any of this as a dig at SP - simply trying to gauge overall quality of these sets and putting my data point out there for people to compare to.That numpad alignment is unforgivable.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/ST2h59E.jpg)
I am really considering a keycool 84 now though. RGB/lost and found look much better on a white board, pure granite fits better with the black.
Would really be great if we can get someone from SP to comment on this...Yes. Ask SP if these misalignments match their quality standard, and please post their e-mail-replies here.
This misalignments are a mess, right :-X How come that a company like Signature Plastics plainly overlook something obvious. It’s their job to produce keycaps, and they don’t take notice?QuoteWould really be great if we can get someone from SP to comment on this...Yes.

We have discovered that one of the molds used to produce the single space keys for the Granite set was misaligned resulting in the mount being slightly off center.

Melissa is the nicest person and SP proved once again that is always willing to do the right thing. It happened with DSA Retro (with the wrong modifiers), it happened again with Skull Squadron (by making all the kits tip) and again with Granite. I don't understand what else the haters need to shut the **** up.
That being said. I suggested SP to send me a sample before going mass production, this would be the easiest to avoid these kind of issues. Probably it's too expensive/unpractical for them to run just one sample. I don't know. All I can suggest to SP is to improve QC.
Anyway I'm glad this will be solved. Some of the pictures I've seen here were admittedly pretty alarming.

I've been looking at painting one of mine.
Some of these caps aren't pressed all the way down. After I put a DSA set on my board I go over each key with both of my thumbs one at a time, pushing really hard twice to seat them propperly.
Period of sun today, so I took some more photos.
Gaps - only a few, and I don't really notice unless I look at the keyboard, which I usually don't:

Gaps - only a few, and I don't really notice unless I look at the keyboard, which I usually don't:
I use to work as a fitter hence for me seeing unorthodox gaps between anything, throws me off from using that instrument. Because I can easily see everything at a glance as to whether it is all lined up correctly or not, maybe the OCD in my feature set tortures me beyond anything else hence my sadness in not being able to use any keyboard with these installed.
I suspect you will need to re-design the pcb and reattach all the Cherry switches so that the keys SP produced will all line up correctly with no excessive gaps.........

Why do you keep your order when you know you won't like it?
Why do you keep your order when you know you won't like it?
I only received my order on Monday 7th of July 2014 (this week). When I first opened the package I was impressed with SP's presentation (as always) BUT when it was installed into my 1800, Filco and then a spare GON (regret doing that) that was when I freaked at their malformations in every keyboard.
I didn't really see a thorough example of anyone else's till I saw another person who photographed it head-on with no filters applied or led effects to cover up the distortion of the keys. But always when we FIRST paid up for these key-caps there was no mention nor any photo's showing these horrible misshapen keys at all. Plus you keep hoping that YOUR own order would arrive perfect, like with every order you conduct on PMK's website in the past.
So before everyone gets on their HIGH horse and start dispensing fantasy versions of what was released onto the customers here know that it happened AFTER all the money was paid up and not before, because frankly I suspect Granite would hardly reach tipping point if SP bothered to show the manufactured keys up front first (which I suspect they wanted to avoid at all costs, just my own personnel viewpoint here, because I don't work or run SP).
I am just glad Melissa agreed to refund the full costs I paid for this hence no damage to my bank account just yet. But I remembered when PMK started she stated clearly to everyone out there if you (the customer) is unhappy with your key-set then send it back to them and you shall receive the full refund plus all shipping costs as well.
If a Manufacturer is true to their own standards then they need to stand behind their own product when it comes to quality. Need to see if this will be carried out as to their email statements to me and as usual I will keep everyone appraised here on this forum with my current situation regarding, receiving a full refund :thumb: .
They avoid to show samples, so that they can send out flawed products only to be able to gladly offer refunds and exchanges. That makes perfect sense. Maybe group buys just aren't for everyone. Especially not for those who want to see the finished product before paying for it.

Maybe the quality needs to be stepped up instead of finding useless excuses to protect them from any responsibility. Because it's their first run with PBT plastic then some will forgive them but know that I am in dozens of Group Buys (currently) thus far this was the ONLY failed one for me in over 3 years of purchases. Hence this will be my absolute first refund with SP concerning their quality issues.
Maybe you should know your facts first before trying to apply your own fantasy version of what should be done here because frankly you have no idea of what's going on, so don't try to rack your brain in applying some of your own home-spun recommendations, because it isn't wanted here 8) .

Or it's just your gap-phobic neurosis that doesn't apply to anyone but you around here.
Received my set on Friday, but didn't have time to put it on til today. I've got quite a lot of pbt warps. :-\
I think the 5 key is also missing some meat from the sprue mark ripping the side off.Show Image(http://puu.sh/a9N0f/da9aa630e4.png)
Is it also normal for the right shift/enter to have a bit of indenting on the surface? (around the stabilizer stem area)
So..... when's round 2? :-*

Even if they dropped the ball like Razer Corp does on a routine basis, they still make fine key-caps.
I just wish they made your design in ABS because they have excelled from 2 years ago when they first started dispensing key-caps throughout the world. Your Granite shouldn't be killed off due to faulty PBT molding but to upgrade it to ABS and make it available once again.
Like I said before every company makes mistakes, it just depends upon how they will address it in the future when it comes to producing fine examples of key-caps. They have done it before and I hope will return to their highest standard, that I know they can produce 8) .

I have to admit, I have not been impressed with any of the caps from SP other than their SA molds. I don't think I will buy anything else from them other than SA.
SA Granite. Panties-dropper. Doo eet nao.
Can all the guys who want to repetitively complain here find some other thread for it?
The griping was cute for the first few posts, but now hearing the same 2-3 people just writing the same negative comment over and over again is getting pretty boring.
(Note, I’m not opposed to complaints in general: New people wanting to gripe would be fine, or new categories of complaints that we haven’t seen already.)

this is geekhack...we are literally as close to keyboard warriors as it gets.
I promised myself that I would stop buying keycaps at some stage, but an actual SA set that looks halfway decent would be bought in an instant.better camp out the Penumbra GB thread / [CTRL]ALT.io then, that set is stunning from everything I've seen (soon I will have pretties of my own!) - Bunny has said there will be a few extras for sale once all the current orders ship.
I suppose no one else that ordered an international kit (blue legends UK, DE Etc) along with an Iso enter key has heard anything yet either. I haven't seen any pictures here or have heard anything from anyone else yet.

I got my international set last Saturday. Don't have a keyboard for them yet, but I can snap a photo of just the set if you're interested.
They forgot my ISO enters, however.
My kit wasn't perfect but I'm still tickled pink with it. Here are some more pRotatos :d

not perfect but it looks pretty darn good. i can only see a tiny spec on the 3.
Cons (matter of opinion):
- I would have prefered this set done in DS ABS like the skull squadron, feels more precise (the legend as well as the shape of the keys).
Does someone have the problem of shiny keys? It's not that ABS kind of shine, more like a small layer of some transparent coating. I have this on the right half of my tab key.

That's been my experience with international shipments in the past. Have you tried searching on your local postal service with the USPS tracking number?
My Granite package to Europe has been in LA for 6 days. It took another 2 weeks after customs clearance before it finally arrived.

At least Norwegian customs have gotten a lot faster in the last years. So there's that.
Mine was stuck in LA from 13-7 to 17-7.. It's now in Denmark. Been handed over to Post Danmark and i can track it further on their track and trace system.

granite has "raison d'etre" only in PBT.
@jlor, can I use one of your pictures on http://keypuller.com/granite/ ?
I would be pretty disappointed if R2 went through Massdrop when SP took the risk on creating their own group buy website. No need to introduce another middleman and even more delay into this whole process. If people on Massdrop want Granite why didn't they and/or why don't they buy it through PMK like everyone else
I'll try here as well.
Someone wants to trade some keycaps? I'll need:
1u Pipe/Backslash, 1.25u 3 layer mod, S and D of the red on white WASD (for convenience the whole WASD set, if needed).
Pic of what I need:Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/hHTbyjw.png)
I have several keycaps up for trade, I had ordered Common, Icon, Icon Pro, Nerdom, and Blue Enter.
I'll gladly exchange my |\ key (and other that aren't French if you want it) for a Nerv key which I couldn't order :-[Ah, sry, I've already found a guy whose \| I trade for.
That is, if you're not using it of course.
I don't have the other keys you want tho.
I have a question about this keycap: (Attachment Link) When I type and compare the underscore with the hyphen, the underscore is the longer line, e. g. (Attachment Link) , why does this legend show it the other way around?

@swill Yeah, I can mount the cap vertically flipped. I am just curious how it is “ought to be”. My Filco standard keycap set has the same oddity: the hyphen shows the longer line than the underscore. In almost every font the hyphen is the shorter line.

Yea, maybe because today is the hottest day in this summer, and my brain melted down.
Yes, I scratched my head while trying to mount the “X”, “I”, “H”, and “O” keycap too. I guess “O” is the same from any direction, and “X”, “I”, “H” is the same from upside or downside (vertically). The arrow keys also seem to be the same from any direction, isn’t it?
I haven't seen or heard anything about the blue dye sub international kits yet. Has anyone that has ordered such a set heard anything about shipping yet?
omg! saw this set today! to bad i missed it ;( i hope there will be a second chance to buy it! :)
I'm afraid I'm in the same situation. Just starting to really get interested in messing around with my board (planning on getting an aluminium case for my Poker II when it eventually gets here) and these caps would've gone beautifully with it. Here's hoping for a second run, until then I'll be scouring the classifieds for someone selling a full set and then some. Both the text and icon modifiers sure look slick...

DSA Dolch (http://keyshop.pimpmykeyboard.com/products/full-keysets/dsa-dolch-set-base-set-110-total-keys) is another set you could consider, although they are ABS, not PBT.
Has anyone gotten any word on the status of the single space replacement keycaps for the common kit?
Did anyone else send an email about it?

It will be a few weeks before we have replacements ready, but we will make sure you are added to the list.

put the enter in a vice (with some heat-proof padding), do not tight too much of course. Try to blow some hot air with your hairdryer or heatgun. Proceed at small steps. Heat / cool down / heat / cool down. It might help
I got my package today and do a few pics with my smartphone: http://abload.de/gallery.php?key=j7DS56y3
As you can see some of the Caps did have some nicks like ISO-Enter and some are not correctly centered like Ä, but I dont think that it is possible to get replacements for these keys or is it possible?
Here we go!

I fixed a bent PBT spacebar by dunking it in boiling water for ten seconds then putting it on a flat surface with a heavy book on top for a few minutes while it cooled down.

Boiling water is hot enough to shape PBT without damaging it or making it too soft.

I had the luck to receive no or not much warped keycaps. However if I had bad luck, I would first test this method with some worthless caps I don’t need. Excellent for this purpose are the blue extra keycaps Signature Plastics sent with each package. They are for the garbage can anyway.
If I am not mistaken those are ABS doubleshots, so they are they can't function as test caps for PBT ;)
Unfortunately my iso enter sticks (both of them, icon and text) because it is bend too

I managed to fix it by dumping the warped part in boiled water and applying force with a screwdriver to the stem. Try it, it worked fine. I also got cherry stabilizersUnfortunately my iso enter sticks (both of them, icon and text) because it is bend too
Anyone else got this problem?
I got the same problem on my icon iso enter (the text one works fine). Well, it doesn't stick, but it's hard to depress since the cherry stabilizers are so delicate to torsion.

Poker II (blues, 2 o-rings per keystem). I type on Colemak; this board's program layer is Colemak and the program/function layer is the HHKB layout. This keyset is very pleasing.

I might be wrong but I don't see real CMY colors in PBT.

Unless massdrop reaches a very (very) high tier, I don't see how massdrop could make a better price than SP.

@Grendel Non-alphas should be homogenously dark grey, don’t you agree? There are exceptions, spacebar for example, I can live with that. And there is this weird exception with the keys f5 f6 f7 f8 in light grey due to some historic reasons, however, you can replace them by dark grey ones available in the lost and found. A light grey 1u enter doesn’t fit in this color logic, too.

It would have a bitter aftertaste if the Geekhack community got these sets with little flaws and now random guys could buy the fixed sets via Massdrop...
In R2 there will be international kits?
Re Massdrop: it turned out that they can actually have nice pricing. They will let me know their tiers for Granite and see if this is feasible.
Re exclusivity: I don't like round 2s. I don't want people to think that there will be a round 2 for every GB I organize. That being said there's such a huge demand for Granite that I might make an exception, at the end it's a service for the community and if the community wants it, I can't deny it.
Round 2 will be slightly different so who got round 1 will still have some exclusive keys and also get a chance to get more keys. Also there won't be Cyrillic but maybe Japanese or Korean instead.
Re 1u enter key: It should have been dark gray. I don't remember why it ended up light gray sincerely. Probably because I replaced a key that previously was light gray.

Personally I've always hated the two tone function row and love buys that offer alternate colors for them.
Not a fan of another middle man being introduced into this whole process. If 400 people on Massdrop want to buy granite why can't they do so via PMK like everyone else? It keeps control in Matt and Melissa's hands rather than possible power struggle with a 3rd party. Their money goes right to the manufacturer rather than having a middle man skim profits and increase even more lag time into the process. Can't imagine the introduced hassle for people who had issues with their order as well. The process works as is, I think it does a disservice to this community, Signature Plastics, and even you Matt to have the next run go through Massdrop.

Posted a short review of this set on my website. Here (http://www.vibex.info/rev/sp-granite-set6/8/2014) it is if anyone is interested. :thumb:
Will it have iso layout and åäö keys?In R2 there will be international kits?
yes, but probably some language will be dropped.

As long as you keep the German layouts, we're fine 😉Qwertz? Üäö? Seems to be the best for me(Sweden, qwerty åäö) just switch Z and y :) i will do that when my poker II iso de comes :)
+1 for another round. Will be perfect for my upcoming Ergodox build and I unfortunatelly missed the first GB.

That being said there's such a huge demand for Granite that I might make an exception, at the end it's a service for the community and if the community wants it, I can't deny it.
Round 2 will be slightly different so who got round 1 will still have some exclusive keys and also get a chance to get more keys. Also there won't be Cyrillic but maybe Japanese or Korean instead.
Re 1u enter key: It should have been dark gray. I don't remember why it ended up light gray sincerely. Probably because I replaced a key that previously was light gray.
Please have a look at this http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=61612.0 if you need more granite...Great news! :D

Wish I could just get the Windows, nerdom and the set with the blue arrows.
Do you think that will be possible if this goes through MassDrop?
Received an email with tracking info, believe its the granite replacements they were planning on sending, unless galaxy class is magically done already :)
Ditto. I should have whatever this is by the weekend, will post comparison pics if it's the replacement caps.
Edit: I do have the Galaxy Set on order, but not the DSA Dolch.

So have you guys received anything yet?
I am REALLY curious what it is, because I didn't order any replacement keys for granite!
Received my replacement caps today and I am very happy. Thanks, Melissa! :thumb:

So did you guys simply get a new base set or did you specifically have to list the single keys?
How does the replacement process work? Did you have to send in your original set?

You do not have to return in the "defective" caps and they will replace all of the 1u keys in the kit(s) you are not happy with.
mIng . what sexy keyboard are u using ??
I think maybe you should contact SP about the replacements.
I also would like to thank Melissa for all the help in this.

For me they actually replaced every set that had single caps in them.

I have a Poker II, what set should i buy? I'd like the wsad keys (gamer set?) aswell. Pretty new to they whole mechanical keyboard scene so not sure on the names of certain keys and such.
@Matt3o:
Hey, any chance for the Ergodoxian in icons instead of text in the current drop? Or maybe the next one?
Edit: posted this message in the relevant thread.
I have just received my Granite round 1 keys (via a proxy, so took a while longer). I am afraid I will have to get some replacement keys as well due to misalignment, but most of the board looks fantastic.
I have one major gripe.
The ISO enter key and the DSA spacebar key are very mushy after putting on the granite keys. Putting on the previous keys feels normal again, so the switches themselves are still OK. (Its a ducky 9087g2 with cherry stabs). Did other people have this problem? Do they wear in or is that just how they are? If not, i may ask for a replacement.
Is there a preferred lube for spacebar stems? I have problems with the spacebar from my DSA Dolch keyset sticking down on my keyboard with cherry stabs. The spacebar doesn't seem warped, but it always sticks.

It's already over :(Oh man, I just missed this! There wouldn't happen to be somebody willing to resell me an ergodox/colemak set, would there?
Fear not! Round 2 (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=61612.0) is on the way.
nnnnooooooo i just found this today :( any way to know if there will be another round? I absolutely love these.
1000 kits just sold in r2.
You should be able to find some resales.
Who said Granite R2 is over?
As far as I can see, the IC thread is still just an interest check - nothing has even started yet.
Ah, ok, my bad then.
I bought Granite R1, and wasn't following the R2 thread closely enough to see a post on page 17 :p
@Matt3o:Round 3 maybe :)

Hey guys,
I just put my ROUND 1 granite set (I was 6months abroad...) on my Vintage Peacock Board with MX Blues.
Can you please take a look if you can spot faulty caps?
In my opinion some legends are misaligned, but I might be seeing things, because I know there were production issues...Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/S0ugc9c.jpg)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/qtHBFvn.jpg)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/7Jova80.jpg)

Just received my package a moment ago. $71.94 in taxes.
Currently unboxing and doing webcam photos cause the good camera is in use.
Will report back in an hour or so when it's on board.
Why do you have to pay taxes if Canada is part of the NAFTA?
You need to register a certificate to declare something as NAFTA. (Quite a lot of pages to declare/sign/provide for every shipment)
100% of the materials would also have to be sourced within North America, including plastics, dye, box, etc.
Anything above $20 is subject to customs fees, but many items usually pass when they're declared under $200. Taylor had quite a large order, so the tax collectors decided to jump on his package.
I understand, it is a shame though. More than $70 on an order of $200 sounds excessive.
$520 order. :p

I hope this approved by Matt3o!
Did anyone else notice that the current banner picture MassDrop is using has different arrow keys? The arrow keys in their banner picture are "classic" arrow keys but the only arrow keys available for purchase are the one that are basically just greater than (>) symbols. None of the kits in the drop have those "classic" arrow keys for sale. I actually like the classic ones better and would love to buy a kit that included them.

Those "classic" arrow keys came in the bonus pack, precisely. I have them.
No bonus pack included?
The bonus pack is not included.
Any news from SP regarding re-running the Bonus Pack ?
My brother needs moar color in his life.
EDIT : forgot to ask in SP's subforum :confused:
yeah, granite is actually one of two sets i have kept (the other one being Macross), even though i've sold everything else :) doesn't get as much credit as it deserves.

I must admit I've not been following it, not having an Alps keyboard.
Although I do have an Alps keycap set on the way, which shows my dedication. Or lunacy.

i am gonna be building a 60% soon with AEK2 caps, but i'm SURE i'll want to swap them out at some point if more caps are available. i can't stand DCS but DSA Granite might actually convince me not to use the AEK caps :)
