I really wasn't going to go ahead with this one but njbair made me do it.
Some may call it hype, but I meant every word. And I'm positive you will not regret it.
The future of Alps keycap options is a little brighter thanks to you and everyone else who pitched in. That's the really great thing about getting in on the ground floor. I believe there will be many more successful Alps keycap buys to come in the months and years ahead, but there will never be another
first successful Alps keycap group buy. You and I and everyone else here will always be able to look at these teal beauties and remember how
we made this happen.
Badwrench, our fearless leader, you will be seeing "post your Alps" threads for years to come, and know that your perseverance made our shared success possible.
Thanks, also, to jdcarpe and nubbinator for contributing designs and funding for the custom legends. You guys made sure this keyset will stand unique well before someone pulls a keycap and inspects the stem and switch underneath.
And finally, thanks to everyone who helped promote the buy by sharing links on other sites, or helped keep the thread alive with your comments. Your efforts to spread awareness helped push this buy over the tipping point and beyond, even onward to a further price break at 50 units!
I hope everyone here appreciates the wonderful sense of community and cooperation manifested by this group buy (even more so than most). In a way, I'm sad it's almost over, because I love that sense of anticipation and I really enjoyed being a part of this thing. I mean it when I say that every time I look at these modifier keys I'm going to think back to this group buy and smile.
