My last day of school is tomorrow, sans graduation next week, so I'll start sorting the kits, invoicing for the new spacebars, and picturing probably Wednesday. Working on moving my Grandfather into a new house this week too, so progress might seem slow at first.

Dear sweet Jesus, I just started going through all the keys, and SP botched this all to hell. I don't have any addon kits, I'm short 50 backspaces, 50 |\s, 50 enters, and 50 ISO shifts. I'm going to have to delay this whole buy until this is fixed. i just emailed her. I'll keep you guys updated.

She got back to me within minutes and is going to ship me the replacements ASAP.

Has anyone ever considered any alternative companies to SP? Do they even exist? I know of one, Fentek Industries. I ordered some caps from them before. Seemed to be pretty good quality, although they also had spur marks on the front face of the keycap =/

Quarzac · « **Reply #455 on:** Wed, 06 June 2012, 13:07:52 »

I think Fentek has been looked at in the past, but there was some reason we keep coming back to SP. I think it was cheaper, or Fentek doesn't offer the same level of customization or something. Melissa said they should be shipped out by the 21st, and she'd overnight them. At least this way I won't have to double ship a lot of you.

No, there isnt any alternate company because most of them source from SP anyways. Other companies don't have the machinery or capability to make customized keycaps like SP does. For now, our options are SP, imsto, or qtan really.

Fentek goes to sp for doubleshots. The uk company (can't remember name) is limited to what they can do.

The geekhack community should invest in a machine that can do double-shots...then we won't have any more sp problems

hashbaz · « **Reply #463 on:** Wed, 06 June 2012, 14:20:59 »

The alternate manufacturer thing comes up at least once a month around here. We've looked. For doubleshots, the only feasible option is SP.

We can't even adopt a new legend set from SP without members dropping out because $45 per legend is too high.

Will the new keycaps and spacebars arrive at about the same time?

OddOne · « **Reply #468 on:** Wed, 06 June 2012, 19:58:26 »

Anyone have an extra base kit they'd be willing to part with? I just picked up a Wyse PCE board and could use a Moogle kit to complete it.

Thanks in advance.

The keys will theoretically get to me on the 22nd. You should have them by the end of the month, if all goes well. I'll take pictures once I can get/find a good camera.

Just use any camera. We just want pics so we can see the keycaps, not a master piece from Ansel Adams. Use the camera on your phone, even if this is your phone:

To clarify: I love Black and White pictures as much as the next guy, but I'm also used to seeing colour. I'm amazed at how well my pictures come out when I go outside with a piece of white paper. Even the cellphone images are nice.

Y U HAZ WIN3.1 LOGO?

litster · « **Reply #481 on:** Sat, 16 June 2012, 00:20:13 »

In some way, it is kind of fitting to have the very old school Windows logo to go with the very old school Wyse keycaps. Just that the old logo is unexpected. Why would SP choose this old logo for this order when all the previous GH orders used the newer Windows logo? That makes no sense at all. Does SP roll the dice before they start each order to see which random part of the order they want to mess with?

DanGWanG · « **Reply #482 on:** Sat, 16 June 2012, 00:25:48 »

Yeah that's hilarious. But you're right litster, I like that it's fitting for this kit. Very nice actually.

Quarzac, I hope you enjoyed your parties, 'cause the anticipation was pretty intense there for a bit. I'm loving the pictures, and my excitement is neigh uncontainable.

Also: The legends look dark: Just like WYSE should.

kaiserreich · « **Reply #485 on:** Sat, 16 June 2012, 02:51:20 »

Would have preferred win95 type logo, but since it's here already, that's ok

I'm digging that old Windows logo.

Melissa actually asked me if I wanted old or new, and I said to go with the old one, since the WYSE kit is old. Made sense to me at the time. I'm glad there's not enormous backlash. In retrospect, I probably should have asked you guys, but I wanted to get the dang order placed after all the enormous delays.

jdcarpe · « **Reply #488 on:** Sat, 16 June 2012, 12:41:32 »

I like it, also. At first, it was a shock seeing the old logo there, but it fits.

The old logo is loads better than the new '4 squares with a limp'.

Quarzac · « **Reply #492 on:** Tue, 19 June 2012, 15:38:16 »

Melissa just sent me an email that she's shipping out the spacebars and missing keys today, so I will hopefully have them tomorrow. They will all be shipped out by the 27th, because I leave for San Antonio for a couple days then. If you haven't payed your space bar invoice by then, you're not getting them until you do, and if I've already shipped your original order, you're going to have to pay for shipping.

Denonic · « **Reply #493 on:** Tue, 19 June 2012, 17:09:27 »

For the space bar order did u mean only for those that ordered the universal or for everyone?

Quarzac · « **Reply #494 on:** Tue, 19 June 2012, 18:51:39 »

Only the universal. Everyone gets the spacebars that initially came in their sets.

It is documented that I am terrible about pictures. Maybe I'll snap one of all the ziplock bags when I'm done sorting.

For the record, the G80 looks fantastic with a WYSE set. I'd imagine it would look even better with matching mods.

Quarzac · « **Reply #499 on:** Fri, 22 June 2012, 11:18:46 »

[STRIKE]Alright, I am officially going to avoid dealing with SP as much as possible after this. I sorted all the addon kits, and they sent me 49 controls, alts, and menus instead of 50. They did get the correct number of spacebars though, so if there's someone who needs a 7 unit spacebar, PM me. If one of you guys has two addon orders and only needs one, PM me, and I'll refund you for one, since I only have the keys to make 24 sets.[/STRIKE]

EDIT: I'M STUPID
