Are refunds transactional? I am only interested if ISO happens, and don't want the rest of stuff if it doesn't happen. Will the whole order get refunded?
Also, is it too late to have an all-brown F1-F12 stripe?
This is, what 6 or 7 active group buys? Must be a record.
Ivan confirmed?
too soon...
Needs that dark RETURN and ESC key without having to buy a whole 40s kit.
I also noticed that the dark RETURN key from the 40s pack is R4. Aren't they normally row 3? Is the R4 RETURN a 40% thing or is it misplaced?

It's for the MiniVan.
Maybe a brown one will be added in a mini color pack, we're considering it... but nothing is final except what you see in the kit mock-ups.I also noticed that the dark RETURN key from the 40s pack is R4. Aren't they normally row 3? Is the R4 RETURN a 40% thing or is it misplaced?

Still very important info considering a lot of people want a brown return key for the alpha/tkl set and the responses to that are generally "theres one in the 40s kit" , at least now more people will know that wouldn't work that well.

No problem man, of course we want to accommodate requests as much as possible, but price and MOQ gets in the way. We have already discussed a mini kit early on, but considering several people already joined with the current design I believe we made the right choice, and it is what I intended for the set, a red return key.Maybe a brown one will be added in a mini color pack, we're considering it... but nothing is final except what you see in the kit mock-ups.I also noticed that the dark RETURN key from the 40s pack is R4.

Yea sorry just edited my post right before you replied. I was thinking you guys could do a mini pack gb after this or something. I love the colorway and think it'd look great with some coffee novelties, think you'd attract a good amount of attention since coffee v2 was awhile ago and all thats been confirmed for coffee v3 is that it's at least one full year away.
I didn't realize you had MiniVan support... I looked for the r3 1.25 and r3 1.5 keys but couldn't find them. Are they in there and I missed them?I also noticed that the dark RETURN key from the 40s pack is R4. Aren't they normally row 3? Is the R4 RETURN a 40% thing or is it misplaced?

I'd wait for jchan94 to clarify, he is more familiar with the kits offered.I didn't realize you had MiniVan support... I looked for the r3 1.25 and r3 1.5 keys but couldn't find them.

Says it in the description now. Not sure when he added that
8 Kits Total
- Alpha Kit
- TKL Kit
- Non-Standard Kit
- Numpad Kit
- 40s Kit – Includes compatibility for JD40, Planck, Minivan
- Ergodox Kit
- ISO Kit
- Novelties Kit
One last question about this set then i'll stop bothering you guys. Did SP/SA ever give you any reasoning for the high prices on this kit? For an MOQ of 100 its: $111 for alphas and tkl kit on here , SA dancer/dasher is able to get a tkl kit (which for them includes alphas) at $76 . I could see some discrepancy in pricing, but what was the $35 swing for ? Our highest MOQ doesnt even go down to that. If it's on there end I think you guys should do some haggling and show them those facts and how good your numbers are right now.

I remember, we fixed the row numbering and there shouldn't be an R1. Jchan is still waiting for quotes from Melissa before updating the mock-ups, but here it is.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/T2ocjRv.png)
edit:
There will only be one |\ on R1, and I think it's the cream key.

I'm not part of the drop team, but IIRC, the high price is due to the custom pantone-matched colors (which is why you don't see SP color codes listed) and the custom molds for the novelties. I don't think Dasher currently has either of these.
Thanks man. Anyway, the great thing is there's almost a set for everyone. The bad thing is if you like them allI'd wait for jchan94 to clarify, he is more familiar with the kits offered.
The set may be a little too retro for me (I'm usually more into vibrancy than muted brown/whites), though I am still pondering buying in, I just wanted to say your renders are getting eerie at this point Camper - they are just frighteningly good, I have no idea how you do what you do but please continue to put your work out there, it's incredible.
I loved this set the first I saw it and the more I look at it the more I like it!! I will definitely be in on this!!
Looks like the 40s kit has been updated with a red novelty return, an ivory and brown |\ key and an R4 Shift key (looks like 1.75u or 2u). Any plans for some similar adjustments to the Nonstandard kit? Saaaay a brown return key and esc key??? Spent a lot of time looking at this and was thinking that an option pack for red F1-F4 & F9-F12 would be a cool addition as well. Or even red RPT, SCRLK, PAUSE. I know it's late in the game but thought toss the idea out there. Wasn't there talk also of an additional TKL Drop at MOQ 150?
(ps: In the MOQ listing of your op the "40s" is bold'ed but not yellow'ed)

We won't be adding the extra keys you've asked for. The set was intended to be as such and we want to respect the designer, Thesiscamper. The accents plays very nicely IMO.
I'm new to a GB in keyclack, most of the time I've spent a lot in MD. I've got several question to ask:
1. When will this GB end?
2. In MD, payment will be charged after the GB deadline end. Will keyclack do the same? or,
3. Payment will be charged right after we checkout? Means if prices get lower due to MOQ achieved after we pay, we lost the opportunity to get that lower price.
Thank you

No offence but including alternate F-Row kits in the base kit is BS in my opinion. Alternate colour F-rows is a way more obscure request than standard colour RETURN and ESC, common to most sets with alternate colours for those keys, the RETURN and ESC key thing was already brought up way early in the group buy.
I'm not trying to dictate the artistic direction for this set as I know the idea of brown enter and esc keys was vetoed by the designers but I AM paying money for the set and I and several other voiced a desire to have the standard brown colour for those keys, so why is it such a big deal to allow them? Having some other random request added to the base keyset instead of being included in a child kit for other specific layout needs without any kind of vote is lame.

Is it still likely? Inverted F-row would make the whole board look like a yellow submarine:

Also any chance of making novelty rings to be of equal thickness:

Can we get the updated numbers, please?
I'm waiting on updated numbers from the Taobao GB to update everyone.
What is the ISO kit number at the moment? Taobao is not likely to improve it and it's already evening here in Europe... and then the GB will be over by early morning. Crossing fingers for a UK-themed keyset to have UK keycaps!
no numbers update ?
so no big changes ?
iso, ergo, 40s failing ?
it looks that way.

Updated numbers soon as we are closing the GBs and need to fix all these current orders with failed kits.

40s kit is all good ;). Don't worry.
Oh no.. on ISO left:(
Why prices are now $68? Why not $48 as it says there on website?
Why ISO is out of stock?
There will be extras of course so you can grab it when it comes.
Hello First of all thank you for the 1965 key caps deduction
Ordered December 15th
Congratulations on achieving MOQ
I have not yet received a refund for the MOQ.
When will it be?
Any news on that? Family first, no worries.Hello First of all thank you for the 1965 key caps deduction

I have not yet received a refund for the MOQ.
When will it be?
This week. I've been a tad busy with family recently.
Refunds are starting to roll out this week.Thanks for the update! (Y)
I've calculated all of the totals needed to be refunded to each order already and just need to spend a day refunding them to individual orders.
I will send out a mass email to all participants to check the order total of their orders to see the properly reflected amount.
Has anyone received the promised mail and/or refund yet? I got neither until date
NiceHas anyone received the promised mail and/or refund yet? I got neither until date
Hi, still working on it x.x there are about 200 I have to go through... Slowly... Each one takes a few minutes because I gotta double check the prices and tax if applicable. It should finish tomorrow.
HI
MOQ achievement Is the refund work still far?
Will we receive email notification of the refund or do we have to check our own Paypal from time to time?
Hi, newbie here! Is it still possible to order this kit?
The group buy closed quite awhile ago so I'm gonna guess no.
Has anyone yet received his/her refund? I hope your family member is getting better!

hi,
I'm going to resolve this when I finish hydro on Monday. Sorry for the delay. You'll all see it soon as I have to sit down and track backwards.
In the future, we won't have this "refund system". We'll have something much better.
Hi everyone,
70% done. Last 30% at noon. 6am now. gg.

I haven't seen anything specific mentioned yet, but do we know if the recent delays in other SP production has impacted 1965? Getting stoked for this to go on my champagne RAMA M65!
Hello everyone,
SP has given us a confirmation month for when manufacturing will be done.
Due to the backlog and such, we're estimated to get this in September 2017.
I'm very sorry for the news.

Wow, bummed I missed out on this, very clean set.. anyone suffering from buyer's remorse :P
We'll have extras for all the kits when it comes around, but it seems that SP is delayed "again".
I'll have to confirm the date with SP again.
Also, to note, we'll be adding all our previous buys onto the new site as "inactive" or "outdated" buys. The buys will be up there as archival information, and will be used for updates. Following that, I'll be adding everyone to a specific product mailing list so people can keep up with the updates via email, therefore streamlining the flow of information.
Well, with Penumbra and Hyperfuse coming in soon-ish, my hefty bill that I received and looking at the September shipping date I think I don't really need my order anymore:Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/Vs8Dr9Q.png)
So if anyone wants my spot (MOQ adjusted price) then I can contact jchan and we can transfer the whole order as splitting up will be a logistic nightmare

September still the ETA?
I've just been recently informed that there are changes that need to be made, and I am currently reworking the novelties to SP's specifications.

updated all novelties and sent them to SP, hopefully they're all workable now.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/F7lU74p.png)

Cool TY for the heads up
Thanks for the update! Looking forward to my first SA set.
Now this a pleasant change, definitely could wait a little while longer since adjustments need to be made. :thumb:
Looks like the legends got a little bigger, and went from 1965 to '65. Looking good! Now just hope this means we're close!
According to Melissa, production will probably be finished by the end of the second week of October.
Trying to decide if I want a black or silver case for this.
Has anyone ever made cases with chocolate or coffee colored anodization?
Ahh excellent I'll look into that. Already planning a wood and brass build for nautilus so didn't want to do wood again. Love filcos!Trying to decide if I want a black or silver case for this.
Has anyone ever made cases with chocolate or coffee colored anodization?
Been lurking this thread for nearly a year after joining the GB and finally decided to join the forums.
Not exactly anodized, but this is the case I decided to pair with this set: https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/filco/images/kobo/woodred/08.jpg
It's one of the Kobo frames available for Filcos called "Classic Wood Brown" - it's Japanese style hand-lacquered finish made with dripping pigment to get the burl-wood effect... it's gorgeous. They also have some other color / finish options that might go well with the set.
There are actual wood cases available for some boards on occasion, but I'm not sure anyone sells them consistently. Those are usually limited to small form-factor boards.
I know brown anodizing is possible, but I haven't seen it on a keyboard yet, though you could get a bare-finish aluminum case and have it powder-coated pretty much any color you like.
Hi everyone.
Just a quick update: We're still waiting for SP, but we should hear word soon as it is coming up to the end of September
yeah hopefully since dasher dancer is out, this one is next.
So bummed I missed this. Hopefully it gets produced soon.
Hi all.
So I probably shouldn't have said anything here, as a lot of people have been asking me about the kits and what I plan on doing with them.
Short answer:
I don't really know.
Long answer:
When the set arrives, the first thing I intend on doing is posting to /mechmarket looking to trade for a Dasher set with Dvorak. I predict this to be extremely unlikely to actually be successful, and should it not be, I will then sell the kits as a full set. This is because I have already received requests for it, so it will just be easier for me to do it that way.
As for price, I have no idea. In past transactions on /mechmarket, I have always charged what I paid for a particular item be it new or from a trade, and in some cases given things away for free. However, I have never dealt with a brand new SA set that I have personally waited +10 months to receive. This is unknown territory for me and I haven't figured out how I'm going to approach it.
Obviously on a moral level, I want to charge what I paid. But on the other hand if other sellers establish a price that appears to be agreed upon by the buying community, do I have a right to do the same?
Please feel free to offer words of advice, as I am quite stuck. I don't want to blatantly profit off of jchan's work, but if this set does indeed hold a higher market value, am I then disadvantaging myself by not doing the same? Or am I still just an a-hole for doing it?

I say charge what other people are willing to pay for. On that note, I believe jchan has extras so if you're looking to sell them quickly you'll have to match his retail price, at least until his stocks run out. I don't think morals should be a great concern, when we're talking about people buying plastic they don't really need.
Surprise!
It arrived.
Looks amazing. Photos later this week.
Here are the photos. I took a few more, but these BEST REPRESENT the colors of the set.
Now, I want to make sure there is little - no confusion on the colors of the set because I understand 1st impressions.
Originally, the set was rendered out as a "red" accent, but after much talks with Thesiscamper, we agreed that the color was misrepresented in the original renders, and the orange-red is more accurate to the original inspiration in which this set was drawn from.
Lastly, here are my personal notes about the set. The alphas are a beautiful yellow, and match amazingly with the dark brown mods. The Orange, while I personally wish was a tad more red, is beautiful and accents the set surprisingly well.
And one last note: you will receive an email with your unique tracking from no-reply@keyclack.com ; this email is NOT monitored. So please do not reply to it.

And one last note: you will receive an email with your unique tracking from no-reply@keyclack.com ; this email is NOT monitored. So please do not reply to it.
Shipping commences next week as it was a little unexpected for this to arrive.
Here are the well-anticipated photos.Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/RlohtnH.jpg)Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/WlDD73O.jpg)
Am I the only one not happy about this?
That ivory is spot on, the brown is spot on, they look really nice. Not too thrilled with the orange though, pretty disappointing actually and it kinda kills the set for me. I much preferred the original reddish color from the original renders, but I was ok with the change to 166-C, but that doesn't even look to match Pantone 166-C, I mean that's like Reese's orange. Were there no samples for approval before final production? I've been so excited for this set and now I'm just kinda sad and irritated.
Am I the only one not happy about this?It is 166-C, and I approved the samples myself. I decided, with jchan, to follow the reference album image colors I initially based the set on.

I have had this gem since last December. One lucky winner from the Keyclack GB will be getting it.

This is what I decided the set will look like, it is unfortunate that you disagree but I made the best choice for what I wanted the set to be, and we informed everyone of the changes.

maybe my monitors are calibrated wrong, but that looks like a pretty close match to 166c
also consider the color grading of jchan's photo isn't perfect, you won't know what it looks like until it shows up to you
On my color calibrated Eizo monitor it looks pretty close to 166C

First, let me apologize. I'm sorry, I should not have questioned whether or not there was approval of samples prior to final production, and was not questioning your vision of what the set should or should not look like. I had a bad day yesterday and should have just kept my mouth shut. Thank you for the clarification on the samples. I know everyone was informed of the change, and I appreciate that, some group buys would not have done that.
I'll eat my words and wait for when the set arrives and I can see it in person.
I do want to say thank you to you and jchan for running a great group buy. Overall the buy has been a pleasurable and well communicated process.
we've added 2 keys to the TKL set. 1x Brown Return + 1x Brown ESC.
Also, did this addition actually happen?

Yep, brown esc added to base and brown return added to TKL kit.
I shall take a photo of the Pantone next to the keycap today so everyone can see :).

It has been said that images from the internet of the album covers vary a lot in colors, so I'm sharing this image which is the the one I used as reference.

Just realised that ISO kit didn't reach MOQ so I wonder what color the modifiers have. Is it a standard SP color or a custom one? I guess it's darker than the Chocolatier mods?
Guess I have to try to get some blank ISO Enters in that color from SP.
Here are some photos. The room is dimly lit, apologies for the potato shots.

What board is that and where can I buy one?
Tiny Update.
The boxes all arrived this week, but they mistakenly only gave us 100 vs the 250 (that are needed) to fulfill this.
The boxes are already ordered - we'll getting them on Monday. The 100 or so should be going out tomorrow, thanks!
All packages have been packed, and we're waiting for USPS to pick it up.
Tracking to roll out today.
JChan, I received my novelties and nonstandard kits today but not my alphas+tkl+numpad.
Since those 3 kits were actually a separate order does that just mean it didn't make the cut for the first 100 sent?
Colors look great! The brown is a perfect charcoal shade, almost looks black unless you really study it.
Got my caps today. I love the ivory against the dark brown with orange accents. The ivory caps are especially nice, like well-aged piano keys. Thees caps have that silky smooth finish that SP does so well. Can't wait to get this on a board...a board that's not finished yet. Great job jchan!
Here's some of my kits on a Team Ace 40XT for a few test shots.
Sweet caps, totally digging the orangey accent. Really matches the bone colored legends.Show Image(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171028/9c8c24dc6d21682e3d22aa498837d788.jpg)Show Image(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171028/165e2643e711bad70a2d62bf2f5d20ea.jpg)
Nice seeing the mods against a black board for some perspective. They look really great! Can't wait to get mine!I'm afraid it's probably in-house customs from Massdrop. Requesting for reruns is like never gonna happen.
BTW what cable is that? I'm wanting to get something similar like an old school amp cable.Here's some of my kits on a Team Ace 40XT for a few test shots.

Have the rest, or any more, of these gone out yet?
Was looking for / hoping for extras to go on sale when the GMK Oblivion extras came out but it looks like that might happen after the GB inventory gets shipped out 100%? Thanks again!
The extras should go live next week, yes
Could someone please post a side-by-side comparison of 1965 mods and Amazing Chocolatier mods? I'm really curious to see how much of a difference there is between respective dark browns.
SA Filco is slightly darker than 1965 modsCould someone please post a side-by-side comparison of 1965 mods and Amazing Chocolatier mods? I'm really curious to see how much of a difference there is between respective dark browns.
If possible would also love a SA Filco cap next to it.

I guess I could do that when I receive my 1965 :) To whomever received their set, did you get a tracking number or did it just appear in your mailbox?
Honestly, I'm ok with this. Makes it a fun surprise.

Here's a potato pic of my minila with SA Filco. The entire bottom row is SA 1965 mods except for the TBN spacebar from SP since that and black were the only 3 unit SA spaces I could get a hold o until carbon comes next year. The 2u shift is the brown key from my Rama M10-A, not sure of the color code.

Extras will go live Wednesday.
There are about 30 packages left to be packed, and it should be done tomorrow night for a Monday pickup.
Thanks everyone!

Hi Jchan, I haven't yet gotten any order updates. Could you please look into my order? Order #4478 which had TKL + nonstd + novelties and later had a numpad kit added.
Honestly, I'm ok with this. Makes it a fun surprise.
I would be as well, if it weren't for the fact that customs here in Norway tend to ask me for my social security number to process my package (since i had it shipped to my office and not to my residential address) - which they may or might not do unless i check the tracking and see that it is needed - not doing that tends to delay delivery.
By the way, who's transporting the international packages? USPS?
Hmm, $280 for a 40% kit? Is that right? (just curious)
TKL Set includes Alphas Kit + TKL Kit
40s Set Includes Alphas Kit + 40s Kit
Nonstandard, Novelties, and Numpad are standalone kits
ooh okay, the costs include the Alphas - this makes a lot more sense, thanks!

Anyone else's tracking not updated yet? It's been nine days, and still says USPS is awaiting drop-off.

Tracking finally updated last night. Left City of Industry distribution center. Nine days for USPS to even get it on its way out of the state is completely bonkers.

Jchan, November 23rd I got an email saying the shipping label was created on November 8th, but FedEx has still not received anything. Are there any troubles?
We've shipped it all out already :). Anything taht we have pending for "outgoing retail" was ordered this weekend.

In the same boat. This is what support told me yesterday. But I still see no movement on FedEx.QuoteWe've shipped it all out already :). Anything taht we have pending for "outgoing retail" was ordered this weekend.

Did someone get the Lego set?
I’m wondering if the nonstandard set will be up for grabs again.. ordered the tkl set for my ca66 but figured later that I need some nonstandard keys to make it fit :-(
Is there any chance of another round being run? It looks like everything is sold out on KeyClack except the novelties & numpad. IMO this is the most attractive keycap set I've ever seen.

There was a stock error, but I'll the TKL/Planck+40s kits back up in July.

What about the Non-Standard kit? Had to cancel my whole order and give up the then in stock non-standard kit due to stock error for the TKL Set, under the advise that all sets will be restocked in June/July.
If there are no plans to bring back the Non-Standard Kit it would seem that I was deceived in giving up my set... :mad:
