Money sent for 2 set too. Now that I think about it, is there any additional fee as I'm in Canada?
i just noticed there is two orders with the number 1034
In for 2 sets to the US, $3 shipping is fine. My first group buy. Thanks!Congrats! You're on the list. Glad I could be your first. :smokin:
Congrats! You're on the list. Glad I could be your first. :smokin:
These should fit most Cherry MX keyboards such as Filco/Das/Ducky/Leopold.
- 1 x 2.75" Green Shift (right-side)
- 1 x 2.25" Green Shift (left-side)
- 2 x 1.25" Red Control
- 2 x 1.25" Blue Alt
Please make sure the sizes match your keyboard before ordering.
If in doubt, ask Ripster (http://geekhack.org/member.php?1574-ripster). He's the number one keyboard expert on the planet. :-p
This is a similar example to what we're ordering:Show Image(http://cl.ly/8aJX/example.png)
You have a photo of a Poker, will these keys fit a poker? I just measured the right shift on my poker and it's 2" long.
Are you sure about that 2.75" size?
Would it be too late to get in on this group buy?
so if we want priority we just add 3 more dollars to price near our order?Assuming US, yep! Let me know if that's what you want and I'll update your record. (Or I'll update it after you pay, either way.)
Just sent you an order.
Will the left shift also fit a Choc Mini?
Got your order, added you to the list. About the Choc Mini... I can't answer that. I thought I remember seeing that some of the keys are a different size than a normal Filco-style board. Can anyone help out here?
Also, welcome to Geekhack! :)
Assuming US, yep! Let me know if that's what you want and I'll update your record. (Or I'll update it after you pay, either way.)Yeah im in California and yes, i want priority. Ill pay when I get home from work. Hopefully these do fit my poker if not theyll go in my Leo and filco.
Everything up-to-date with what I have this morning. :)
I paypal'd you last night, but my name isn't showing up in the list as paid?You were on the list, but under your initials... for some reason I missed your order number in your payment subject. I thought it was a new order. :) It's been updated now. Thanks!
PS: I want to visit where that package is going. :)
Anything for my first group buy provider. :) Just give me a ping if you're ever in SF.DUDE, seriously?! :) I'll be there in June for WWDC next year. :)
How much is shipping to Israel?
is there any way to get those colors all blue and all red? let me know
Wow... same as EU? Awesome man. Would I do any customs or anything or is that not necessary?
E - Is the cheaper shipping likely to arrive in good condition?
If so, count me in for 1 set if they fit Filcos ($6 shipping).
I'll take 20 sets (priority + delivery confirmation) please

Welcome to Geekhack! Really, first post here and you are ordering 20 sets?
Really! abuseyoudna paid up! Man of his words! Are you really new here? Maybe a geekhacker by another name?His money's green. :)
OP - I think you'd need 2976-E to clear Israeli customs. Not sure though.Yes, perhaps. Regardless, I'll talk to the post office about it when I go to mail it and get everything straight. :)
He's putting them on his 20 keyboards.
He meant to say 2 instead of 20.
He's putting them on ebay for double the price.
Interesting. Probably my first buy here.
Odd that I'm buying keys before the actual keyboard...
Fixed, thanks! (Trying to keep alphabetized while manually making new order numbers... gotta keep better track!)Use Excel? (order # on 1 column then sort?)
So, i should expect these keycaps on my keyboard hopefully by early September???
Does this mean the price will go down? Because if that's the case, I just might order another set. lol
Everything up-to-date with what I have this morning. :)
I'm sorry to say that you appear to have missed my wish to update my order to 3 sets.I must have missed your earlier note, but I did catch it when you sent the money. The payment totals always clue me in correctly. :)
I have now sent you the money for 3 sets and standard shipping to EU.
I must have missed your earlier note, but I did catch it when you sent the money. The payment totals always clue me in correctly. :)
And GEEZE... it's going to take me a week to fill out all these customs forms. :)
I'll take 20 sets (priority + delivery confirmation) please
20 FREEBIES. Lucky bastard.

PM and payment sent for one set. Can't wait! This group buy looks supremely organized, by the way. Nice job.Thanks!
Sold out? Ready to submit order to SP? That is F.A.S.T.!
Ill take 2 sets please and thanks.List updated!
ill pay for my 2 sets first thing friday morning. Didnt expect this to happen so quickNo rush.
Thanks! I think I did a miscalculation with something, so this may be my last. lol
Welcome to GeekHack!
Eh? You're not going to end up eating an unexpected cost are you?Nah, just got a lil trigger happy on the glow caps, but all is good I think!
Now prepare your wallet for the ravaging
worst comes worst mark up the "extra sets" you order to 15 (number feels about right lol)or so to cover any glowing key cap lossesNah, no need for that. I should be fine if I sell the extras I order... I just may be selling for a while to a saturated market. :)
I would like to get two sets with the USPS First-Mail (USA).
1+
My wallet wishes I never found this forum.
I was kind of sad that no one noticed that their orders were usually updated within a minute of them ordering. :) All that hard work wasted! J/K
I noticed. ; ) Even after midnight the updates keep going.Well thanks! Cause I'm working on a big project, so I'm up all hours and always at my desk. :) But about to head to bed now, so no one test my speed until tomorrow.
That's pretty cool! Thanks for sharing.
i could seem to find if these are ABS or PBT
should i assume ABS as i havnt seen any word of PBT Double Shots?
These are ABS. Signature Plastics doesn't do PBT doubleshots at all, from what I've read in other threads.thanks just bought an engraved PBT set for my keyboard so these may be a bit out of place then
What profile are these keys? Are they the same as the keys from the previous SP round 3 group buy? I didn't see that mentioned in the quick scan I did through this thread...
also, would the red coloring of the Control keys be the same as the red coloring used from that same group 3 order (I imagine the blue on the Alt keys will be darker)?
... Is there a way for SP to match the font thickness to the shift key at least?
SP key caps are like a box of chocolates, you'll never know what you're gonna get. lol
Yes, the same profile as the group buy 3 keys in your picture. As far as the color, you'd have to check the swatch colors for Group Buy 3. (I think it was/is in 7bits first post in that long thread) Our swatch colors are shown in the sample on the OP. The red in our case is "RR", which is the brightest they have. That photo you linked looks darker, but that may be the camera because I have those two red keys on the left and I *think* they are RR too. But check that GB3 post to make sure.
Hmm, apparently the red keys from GB3 are "RA"
just wonder if the difference is enough that they'll clash...
FYI... this is for comparison only... to my eyes in real life, these are not so bright. Depends on light I guess. They also don't look as contrasting in real life. But for what it's worth:
Hard to say. Probably wouldn't notice with red on your top row. I guess if you have a red option key or something, you might?
Indeed! The obvious solution! ;-)
I perhaps would have picked RA if I had realized that was GB3 red. But I just went with the colors Noodles256 picked originally, and now that people have paid for what was listed, I wouldn't feel right changing it. :)
I agree with this. I'll check into it to see if it will delay the order. (May not have that in stock)
ooooo, those are a lot clearer than those other swatches. OP has mafia-like connections with SP
Ha, do you mean the quality of the photo of the swatches? If so, I've got my own swatch ring... so I just took it myself.
ah, okay. Just tell me when it's the day of your daughter's wedding. I'll be coming for my favor lol
I'll take 3 sets please (priority to EU + delivery confirmation)
Justin, I just send you some more money for an extra set. Two in total please! startacked x2 Thanks!
Anyone have an idea of how well the red keys will match the red ESC from elitekeyboards?

Put the kid down for 1 set shipped via usps first class.
Thanks!
List updated... 30 minutes to go!
You are really well organized and if this is your first time handling a group buy, I think you did a amazing awesome awesome job of it.
Thank you!
Talked with SP. Everything is still on track for production. No delays. :)

Hey, due to some circumstances, I don't need the RGB set + glowcap, and I wanted to know if anyone wanted to be included in the first round of shipping. I'm #1084 on the official order list.
If you want to get the RGB set + glowcap (1 set) in the first round of shipping. I paid $19USD for one set (plus glowcap) + priority shipping. If anyone wants to take that spot over, message/PM me.

I know I'm a little late but do we have any left overs? :P
any status on these?
Should be delivered to me this week... will go out the day after I get them. :)I can't wait!
received the keycaps. the stabilizer inserts are not tight enough on left shift:( the others are perfect. thx for the group buy.
You can use a small piece of paper to make the joint tighter.
Can any one of you that already has it take a pic of the glow in the dark key in the dark?
Haha.. I didn't know South Korean's addressses are difficult to decipher. =D
Thank you aggiejy for organizing an excellent group buy. You're a pro! I loved your mailing labels too, having a color keycap design with RGB on it :-)
Here are mine, the glow cap is fun to use with backlighting, I put it as my Poker's escape. The LEDs on the Poker are strong enough to "charge" the phosphor in the keycap, so it glows for a few seconds after you turn the LED off.

The other caps are from WASDkeyboards, I'm using the yellow dome keys for FN.
Here's a photo demonstrating the glowing keycap (LED turned off this time):

Love the yellow Windows keys. They go great with the RGBs.
I am deeply offended by the above statement. They are both FN keys. I don't want any windows stuff :-)
Haha, I chose the dome for "tactile" identification of the Poker FN keys without looking.
Probably need to replace the Menu key with an Orange blank, and the Enter and \| with white and blue for symmetry.
Thank you aggiejy for organizing an excellent group buy. You're a pro! I loved your mailing labels too, having a color keycap design with RGB on it :-)i like the yellow keys. thinking of replacing my windows keys with white caps. i use mine as command since im using it on my mac

going to have to steal your idea, but going with white instead for my command keys (using my poker on a mac)

EDIT: Forgot to mention, the red doubleshots are the reddest red I've ever seen. PERFECT! My pics don't do it justice. Anyway, good thing the color got changed while this was being organized, it's awesome.
Thought the blue was gonna be darker though.

I was also thinking this.
Did they really use BFN? The color tabs you have posted look spot on with the red and green but the final blue color looks at least a few shades lighter. BFN, in your picture, looks almost perfect compared to the real deal.
Here's a side by side comparison of the the group buy Alt next to the real Cherry Corp Dye sub cap:

got my caps! Totally unexpected it's like getting a gift on christmas morning :D
I just went with the colors noodles256 picked originally, except to adjust the red to match round 3 group buy reds.
i haven't gotten mine in the north east yet, was it usps?
nvm, housemate didn't put in on the table, found themmmm, they look great!
Wow, I'm in Canada and still waiting for mine :(
^ Yup, I've been keeping an eye out for the CP guy at work. Should be this week.
Does anyone know where I can get the KBC Poker keycaps, engraved with the side Fn lettering, seen here in the OPs post?
Thanks in advance!
What's up with CP? I'm getting reports of people getting theirs all over the world, but no one yet from the next door neighbor. :-/
^ Yup, I've been keeping an eye out for the CP guy at work. Should be this week.Im from the left over group buy, still waiting too. Hope fully when i go into work tomorrow theyll be there ( took a couple days off )
My caps came in today (Rotterdam,NL)! Here you can see them on my PLU87:

Hello?
There is only ONE Dude at Geekhack. Duderino. His Dudeness. THE Dude.
Otherwise it makes monitoring Forum Spy difficult.
Sorry for redoing your most excellent sig artwork. Time for a change.

Please stay on topic or I'll have to report you.
Argh, no luck this week.
Now I'm fearing the possibility of them being lost :(
Did anybody in Germany already receive the package?

Thanks Justin!
I'm actually not using my PLU ML-78 with blue switches anymore. I like the MX browns on my Filco better.
Build quality is fine. It's pretty heavy, feels solid with no flex. I also have a Filco 104 (browns) and a Steelseries 7G (blacks) and all are build equally well. Caps are not better or worse than those on the Filco. The cable on the PLU is a little bit thicker but the spacebar, shifts, enter and backspace on the PLU rattles more and don't sound as nice. I will try to get some grease and see if that helps. The PLU is a nice board and I like the white version.
Thanks. For some reason, my favorite board is the Choc Mini reds. I prefer this one over my Leopold reds because it sounds and feels to my taste. It's weird because they're both plate mounted and they're both cherry reds but the Noppoo just feels so much better imo.
Has it to do with the fact that the Noppoo has much ticker caps? I like the layout of the Choc mini and I have seen a white version on eBay. I hope a white one with MX reds will be released.
Did anybody in Germany already receive the package?

Nope.
Got mine too, but both my shift keys are the same length :( They look fantastic, and I'm excited about the set. I just hope there is an extra right shift key sitting around for me. I was sooo looking forward to this. It's gonna look great with my dolce set.
I blame the wife! ;) Replacement key on the way.
Still nothing, even called the local customs office but they couldn't tell anything. Hopefully the keys are still on the way.
Finally my sets were in the mail this week.
