Sorry no language options...
Looks like we do have a few germans interested, I will inquire about a german set. This is the last option I will add/consider. This kit should work for Austria, Germany, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden and Slovenija.
Options
Base set 78 keys (alt shift ctrls not incl also arrow keys not included)
Stepped and unstepped caps lock
ctrl alt shifts matching dark gray with light blue
ctrl alt shifts RGB (red ctrl green shift blue alt on matching dark gray)
darker yellow arrow keys on the dark gray
light blue arrows on dark gray
separate numpad addon
German 87 layout
waiting on prices
Prices of the same set will differ dependent on the quantity ordered.
It's pretty interesting to see the keys that I ordered for OTD group buy. Yeah I'm 찌니 of OTD...
Hmm german set going to be pricey... Maybe we can just do the "nordic" kit? Does this work fine for the germans?

BREAKING THE LAW! BREAKING THE LAW!
Are there any laws on the internet?
Not a bad price for shipping!
Well on our way to 50 Base sets at least. @33
Almost at 40 base sets. Also would someone PM me the EXACT keys needed to make the base set (ANSI) ISO compatible, thx!
That's not easy at all.i didn't knew ..
<> row 2 is fine for most languages, but not ISO UK.
And each layout has different symbols on the right of P, L and M.
Also, the symbols on the number row can be different from language to language (for example on italian layout I got "&" above the 6).
So it's actually a mess. Blank keys could be an option, but to fit every symbol we should get 10/12 of those. And a number row with the numbers only? I don't know. It seems a bit nonsense to put so many blanks on a double shot set!
another question
the numpad will be light blue on gray ?
not the multi colored one on the picture, of course ??
just cancel E, D, A if they don't get more orders
Hopefully in 2 weeks we will have enough orders, if so I will place order. Currently lead time is 4 weeks for SP to manufacture plus 2-3 days to get to me. Finally depending on where you live 4-7 days to get to you.
So lets say I order on the 20th of may (the plan), you could expect to get them the week of June 26th.
does this come with the light blue ESC key too?
Maybe get rid of the options and set a fixed base 87 set with an optional 10key? this way if the 104ers want in they might have to be willing to pay the up cost of the 10key set.
i'm in but only if i can get the 10key.
No ISO option. ESC will be normal dark gray with light blue, like rest of site.
Probably because too many options turns this thing into a monster like Group Buy 3.Thats why I suggested to integrate some keys (4: small left shift, L enter, |\, and key near the left shift) to the base set, so it's usable on both ANSI and ISO layout.
just keep it simple, tenkey with rgb mods

Can't win 'em all guys :) I agree with keeping this simple ~ we should be going easy on zaerst....
I think he split it up originally to give people the options of different colored modifier keys (RGB vs grey/blue). Personally I'd just want him to go RGB/yellow arrow keys and match the picture in the first pic so we can all get the lower 50 person price, but that's because those are the options I want and I'm selfish. :-)
Just to be annoying and talking about that ISO thing
Why not ordering for future MO an ANSI/ISO keyset with ansi base and these 4 keys included in the price ?
it won't increase the total price so much and you'll get more order so a lower price due to the higher number.
What do you think about this ?
I approve.i can note some kind of irony, Am i wrong ?
Very Sorry to do this, but this GROUP BUY is officially CANCELED!
This did not work out as I planned, mainly the way I tried to do it with a few different options.
However future group buys should go much smoother, I've learned a lot more this time around than my first single key buy.
Just because this did not work out doesnt mean I won't be trying again soon (although a diff colour scheme).
Look for a diff MO from me soon. It will be ONE option, with maybe a numpad addon.
I'm thinking black on very dark gray, something Harrison was considering doing.
Also I've gotten @10 canceled orders last 2 days, another reason this is done.
Awww.
I'll be watching for your next group buy. +1 for a numpad option!
Rawr! *thinks about just opening a new thread for a modified version of this buy*
If you do it this way, I believe the most popular options were the base set + B + C, I think you will get enough interest to keep prices low. And it would make me very, very happy.
Sorry for canceling 4 orders. :( I will look forward to the next MO. New design sounds nice.
