Caffeine or other stimulants should bake it go faster.

Still, there's gotta be something I can do with all the alcohol I somehow have.

Bytheway, I revisit this topic every day (several times a day) to check on the status. KL's gonna be a popular guy if he can ship out the orders fast.

demik · « **Reply #352 on:** Mon, 07 November 2011, 06:34:56 »

I'm surprised he hasn't gotten sample pictures yet. The portal and nyan cat both got pictures a couple days into production

dorkvader · « **Reply #353 on:** Mon, 07 November 2011, 09:28:55 »

Maybe the worst happened: He has pictures, and isn't sharing!

keyboardlover · « **Reply #354 on:** Mon, 07 November 2011, 09:42:29 »

I emailed Melissa asking for photos...we'll see what she says. She had initially said "in a few weeks once production begins" which I believe was around Oct. 20...

keyboardlover · « **Reply #355 on:** Mon, 07 November 2011, 14:58:24 »

From Melissa:

The keycaps are being molded this week,but I don't expect sublimation to start until the end of next week. I will be sure to take a picture once sublimation starts.

Woot! can't wait to put em on.

Guys! Pictures to come on the 17'th or 18'th!!!!

So excited!

Hey guys, I was wondering if I could take a set off Bongoojingie's hand.

or are they all gone?

demik · « **Reply #361 on:** Mon, 07 November 2011, 20:28:39 »

you might have to wait until he puts them up for sale, which im sure it'll be as soon as he gets them.

You should PM him directly, I dont think he would mind selling a set now and have /KL ship to you straight.

Okay goodie. Thanks for the reply

EDIT: Thanks jpm804. I'll send GB organizer and Bongoojingie both a PM.

dorkvader · « **Reply #364 on:** Tue, 08 November 2011, 08:38:14 »

Is the reason they got the portal ones done so much faster because there's 87 different keycaps in this set, and only 13 different ones in the portal one?

You start a new job and you miss like 5 posts! I also haven't been doing my share of the F5ing...

Can't wait!

Got the PBT portal keys in: They are AWESOME! I think I really love SP's dyesubbing.

This is going to be epic.

BiNiaRiS · « **Reply #367 on:** Thu, 10 November 2011, 14:00:11 »

Eventually, for a second round, do these get any cheaper like they do with doubleshots? I'm not sure what kind of setup work goes into getting dye dubs ready. Or would they still be the same price?

Just saw the $2/set setup fee. I assume that is it?

Double shots are a lot cheaper to do

keyboardlover · « **Reply #369 on:** Thu, 10 November 2011, 16:27:16 »

Dye sublimation has a one time setup fee that I divided by the # of sets ordered. Actually it was a bit more than that but I gave everyone a break

seth · « **Reply #370 on:** Sat, 12 November 2011, 07:57:52 »

What's our current ETA on these bad boys?

I want mine to arrive before I get my hands on my first custom keyboard

demik · « **Reply #371 on:** Sat, 12 November 2011, 09:22:16 »

Week of dec 1st

Quote from: keyboardlover;441728

Melissa said "manufacturing lead time (not including transit time) of 6 weeks starts after we receive payment". They received the payment on Thursday, October 20.

From that, I discerned that it should be in the week of 1 Dec.

I HOPE I'll be able to get these before I go home for winter break, because if not, I'll be the last one to get them it (I only get back to my apartment at school halfway through January)

Why not just change your shipping when you find out where you will be at delivery date?

slueth · « **Reply #374 on:** Sun, 13 November 2011, 03:42:49 »

Is there tracking numbers, ETA or something yet? I am seeing dates.

keyboardlover · « **Reply #375 on:** Sun, 13 November 2011, 14:29:30 »

The keycaps haven't been manufactured yet, and I have no idea when they will be finished, aside from what Melissa said in dorkvader's post above. As such, I can't make any promises other than I will get them out as soon as is reasonably possible once I receive them.

Once you get them in, and announce it, can you hold mine until I know where I'll be at the time of delivery?

Anyone want to buy my keycap set off me? I could tell TKL to change shipping information over to you.

Pretty sure it's an ABS Filco/Leo one, but I don't know the exact SP color used for it.

Hmmm okay, the OP reflects their OLD image-design for the spacebar so I figured I would ask.

@Sleuth; pm me about the price you want for the set and we can open up a dialogue.

Nice colour, I thought it was going to be darker then that. Looks very close to the blue on the Realforce topre ones

Looks familar....=P still a bit darker than the RF's ones but looks good since the lettering looks visible still.

hashbaz · « **Reply #394 on:** Tue, 22 November 2011, 20:26:17 »

These are looking beautiful. What font is it?

keyboardlover · « **Reply #395 on:** Tue, 22 November 2011, 20:29:03 »

@hashbaz, it's Helvetica.

The photos look a tad overexposed to me, so I suspect the color is a bit darker in RL. Still, they look great!

MrPhil · « **Reply #396 on:** Tue, 22 November 2011, 22:00:43 »

It's also a little lighter than i expected as well but it still looks awesome

demik · « **Reply #397 on:** Tue, 22 November 2011, 22:09:23 »

i think they look better than the baby blue RF uses.

I think you're right \KL about it being over-exposed a bit. I'm excited to get them.

guilleguillaume · « **Reply #399 on:** Wed, 23 November 2011, 03:40:49 »

I think the second pic may look more similar to colour in real life. They are a bit darker than Realforce or Round 3 ones and I like them that way because the Realforce one are too light.

Those are going to match in a perfect way with the Blue shell my Poker is going to use! :hungry:

I like the font used and the Enter, Shift and Tab having arrows.
