Has anybody on the US east coast received their caps yet? I'm kicking myself it didn't spring for tracking

in NYC and havent gotten mine yet. Patiently waiting.

Received mine today! Thanks a lot for the GB Shadovved!

Need to arrange all the keys now.

lucaslink · « **Reply #502 on:** Mon, 10 August 2015, 14:48:28 »

Received mine today as well, but I think I got the wrong colours.

Ordered:
1x Dark Grey mods / Light Grey alphas
1x Light Grey mods / White alphas

Invoice:
NDual - Dual-Tone w/Normal Shipping: dark/light, light/white

What came in the mail today:

One bag is white/dark grey, the other is one solid colour, looks pretty beige to me.

The bag on the left is the light grey Mods and Alphas. Split the mods and alphas up and you got the 4 selections you chose

i figured these 'light grey' were really beige. they really don't look light grey at all. then i went back and looked at the OP and saw the picture of the 4 different color ways. haha. geez. sorry. :facepalm:

thanks!

zarrx · « **Reply #506 on:** Mon, 10 August 2015, 16:43:00 »

Shadovved to help you out I put my dark grey set and my beige and light grey set together

From what I can tell I'm missing nothing from the beige and grey but the dark grey is missing:
x2 tab keys
x2 home row keys
thanks

Thanks for a quick and painless GB!

I asked for a similar thing some posts above. Since some people seem to be missing keys, I guess Shadovved is willing to salvage extra sets. This way we should be able to buy singles

Yes, most of the keycap. But it on the back, so it didn't bother me.

cwils0n · « **Reply #516 on:** Tue, 11 August 2015, 11:51:23 »

Yes, almost all of mine have small markings (more noticeable on the dark grey keycaps), but this one was significantly more pronounced that the others.

I feel the same way as you though and don't mind since they are on the backside. I didn't even notice this one until I looked at the photos I took for my current build.

Entirely possible. I'll have to wait, I guess.

waterform · « **Reply #518 on:** Tue, 11 August 2015, 17:14:03 »

Received my sets today, looking pretty good. As other posters have mentioned, sprues are pretty hard to see even from behind, no problems there. Caps look and feel great. My only regret is that I didn't buy more at the original price.

As for inventory, I'm missing 2x dark grey R1 1u, and everything else is in order. I would also be interested in buying single keys, besides the two that I'm missing. For example, my atomic would really benefit from having one more light grey R4 1.25u.

Overall, good stuff. Thanks for running the GB, Shadovved.

Something has to hold me over... and I've been having a really hard time not putting keycaps on this guy... so these arrived at a perfect time!

first time putting in custom blank keycaps. there's some numbers on the back of each of them so should I follow that?
Whats the proper way of knowing which keycap goes where?

I didn't understand the way it was labeled either, so I just eyeballed everything. Mine seem to have hella numbers and the whole alphabet lmao.

user 18 · « **Reply #523 on:** Tue, 11 August 2015, 18:43:04 »

You need to just eyeball them. Anything that matches your 1.25u keys is for the bottom two rows, anything matching your homing keys in profile is the home row, anything matching the 2u backspace (which I found easy to tell apart from the other 2u numpad keys) is the top two rows. The remaining keys are for the one remaining row. The numbers do not seem to have any meaning, as far as I am aware.

asdfjkl36 · « **Reply #526 on:** Tue, 11 August 2015, 21:09:09 »

I used the picture in the OP that shows the profile of each row to see where everything should go.

Although I feel like I'm missing some keys.

Also a quick question, I ordered a 2 tone set, so I get a full set for each color?

Also seem to be missing a full set so I'll PM about that.

nathanrosspowell · « **Reply #527 on:** Tue, 11 August 2015, 22:34:05 »

All my caps were there for all three sets. Thanks Shadovved!

In my excitement to set them up, I actually broke a few of the stems

Never happened to me before. I have MX Clears some it normally takes a bit of extra force and some wriggling to get the caps on, but I've never broken any before. I have been working out... but not that much.

Luckily I didn't need the full kit and went super slow after the 2nd one cracked. I am NOT complaining here. I just wanted to share. Be careful yo.

Ordering a 2 tone set means you get one set consisting of two different colors, e.g. grey modifiers and white alphas.

So no, you aren't missing a full set, you just paid for one.

I thought that, which is why I was confused, when I read this in the OP when looking for answers:

"Each set is a single color and includes the following"

which is in the More information at the bottom of the OP, and then under the first photo.

I paid for a 2 tone, and revived those two colors as full sets

I also ordered a separate color a a full set, which was not included.

So to be clear, I ordered:

Light Grey Mods, Beige Alphas
Dark Grey Mods, Dark Grey Alphas

Received:

Light Grey Mods, Light Grey Alphas
Beige Mods, Beige Alphas

Got my keycaps. The best combination is by far Dark Grey mods/Light Grey alphas. It's really good looking. Looks extremely sharp. I highly recommend it if anyone is thinking of buying the extras.

Do you have a picture of them on a board? I'd be interested to see the difference with the beige/light grey combo.

pickyaxe · « **Reply #534 on:** Wed, 12 August 2015, 05:49:54 »

my camera sucks but here you go

compared to the light gray/beige there's more contrast. it's kind of a cream/yellow-tinted twist on the classic beige combo.

(spacebar is from a different keycap set because I still have to mod gateron's spacebar to fit the Novatouch

)

by the way Cherry profile feels way better than OEM, I should have bought Cherry keycaps years ago.

You need to sand it down, see here

also I take it back, Light Grey mods, Beige alphas is my favorite

but my previous combo is also quite nice and looks pretty unique as far as keyboard colors go

I had the opposite problem pulling them off my hefy aluminum board, they *almost* pulled the entire switch top off. (clear stems). after really giving her i saw the switch top begin to lift off the switch base and was a little more careful. thankfully all the switches still work, but be careful when removing these.
