She's no ST_ Aphrodite ;<
Ugh, so demanding Colin. Jeeze. There's so many orders already there's really no way I'm going to get them done tonight, plus I have a date to play 3v3s with SlayerS_Eve. Don't worry guys, if you've sent a PM, you're probably good. Unless you forgot something, like a bunch have. I'll deal with those later.
News: I got approval for the Tri Triangle keycap, and Melissa is sending me color samples. I also got quotes on red on black doubleshot 87 key sets, so I'll be throwing up an IC for that shortly. I sent her the updated NyanVGs and the SVG for Tri-angle, so we should be ready to go once orders close. Based on the numbers I'm seeing, we're going to be hitting some pretty epic price breaks. GJ GH, well done. Will probably be closing this in 3 weeks from the start day.

Yea, at least Aphrodite has won something in her career.
Lol. Dude she pretty much all killed OGS in a televised match yesterday, they were down 2-1 and they put her in... she then proceeded to tool Hero Nada and MC. She's one of the best players in the world without a doubt.
Last weak SlayerS played against IM and they were down 0-3 and they put her in... She was one extractor away from a reverse all kill in a base race vs Nestea after beating MVP, Losira, and Seed.
Funny thing is, female pro gamers get so much **** they said she was terrible because she lost to Nestea... after tearing MvP to pieces. Lol
Needless to say, I get absolutely tooled by her... when she plays one handed.
Rofl.
Also she's about the epitome of moe Asian.
TV, not internet stream. Its not like the Pro SC2 teams only play for GOMtv.net.Wah? I've never heard of this, is this DVR'd and uploaded somewhere? Also, READ PM! :D
They play various showmatches with a lot of money on the line. TL wouldn't have anything on this because they usually only find stuff already on the internet. Believe me I would kill to see some of these games. This girl has the skill to be in Code S without a doubt in my mind. I'd say more but I've learned to respect her privacy.
Fyi, I nearly got banned from TL.net for talking about this, they thought I was trolling. I'm not, but I'd appreciate it if you didn't go around bringing it up again since the condition for me not being banned was to stop talking about it there.
Ragnorock: You should totally update the confirmed order list in the first post. : D
My time is not free, I'm orchestrating this group buy because I want these keys myself, but I cannot be asked to spend the great deal of time that this requires without some compensation.
Dude, I don't need your snide comments, we've already been over that the $1 is insignificant and is actually there just for the packaging costs. Thanks for taking the quick counts, I really didn't have 10 mins this morning to do that. I feel that rather than explaining a bunch of my personal life that I don't really feel like sharing anyways, you can just understand that I'm doing this on my free time, and if there isn't any, then nothing gets done.
I know your busy and all but taking a quick count doesn't hurt and it really doesn't take too much time. After all we are paying a $1 each for your time to take counts and stay on top of this GB. Letting buyers know the current amount and price encourages them to buy more to reach a certain count. Collin's GB is a great example of this.
It only took me 10 minutes to take a quick count from all the responses on this thread.

Texas--> USA
hello, may i ask which are the correct color for the Nyancat keycap? i realize there are 2 separate color of keycap, the white and blue.The keycap will be white
can you please extend this for much longer? i wanted to start a bulk on this in malaysia, since i just finish doing the bulk for Novelty Keycap.
i myself would like to grab a few as well.
I'm not sure what you mean by much longer, but I suspect the answer is going to be no. I'm not going to leave this open for months because everyone wants these keys asap and I like to get group buys done with and start on the next one... none of this "I'll leave it open for 3-6 months while it fades into obscurity" stuff. Its going to be open for a month tops, but like I said, unless there's good reason to do otherwise, probably 3 weeks.
Hi, just wanted to add two more Nyancat Backspaces to my order, so it'll become
Nyancat:
3 x Nyancat Backspace
7 x Rainbow Up
6 x Rainbow Down
Also, when will orders close?
Yeah I'd like to get payment collected and put the order in before school gets out around the 18th of december, so lets go with a tentative close date of the 10th of December.
Nyancat:
2 x Nyancat Backspace
Triforce:
2 x Triforce Esc
2 x Triforce Modifer
Country: Germany
Shipping: Bubble
Its too bad Nyancat Backspace didn't make it to 250, would have really liked to see that.
I was thinking it would be unfair to do it by keycap over each and every order, because those that ordered more keys would be unfairly weighted in paying for it.
oneproduct, why did you delete your post? I like the idea to add $0.35 for and extra backspace key.
Who wants an extra backspace for $0.35 more? :-)
I would love to have an extra backspace for an extra 35 cents :P!

Is there not a 150 price break for nyancat backspace? There's a 150 price break for the triforces.
CLOSES TOMORROW NIGHT! I have new orders but I'm not going to bother updating them much before tomorrow night. We'll see if I find the time.Thats why. Updated now. Note that a couple people that ordered later got put higher on the list and not right at the bottom because I had a few people withdraw.
ragnorock, is there any price break for 150 nyancat backspace? Thanks.Melissa never gave me those prices at the start. I literally just copypasta'd it. I'd ask her but it is the weekend so...

It doesn't matter, at this point, with the few extras we just got, I'm probably just going to invest the couple hundred dollars and get the extra 100 or so to sell on here and other places.

So we will be at the 250 price discount, $2.96 instead of $3.78? That would be cool.
Foreword: Before reading this, know that I am not angry, I just want to go through the numbers for transparency.
Because of where the sweet spot is between 100 and 250, you'd be taking up only 29% of the orders (57/196 as shown below), not (250-139)/250 = 44% which is the nearly half you mentioned.
The amount needed to make the 250 price break is 196 keys assuming no price break at 150 (250*2.96/3.78 = 196). If there is a price break at 150 this discussion is moot since we'd just aim for 150 keys, and we probably are already at the sweet spot for it. We really should ask about this when ordering.
We have 139 orders already.
196 - 139 = 57 additional orders needed
The price at 250 keys is $2.96, so you would have to pay
57 * $2.96 = $168.72
This would give 250 - 196 = 54 free keys
and 57 paid keys which could be sold for markup
54 + 57 = 111 total for resale
If you sold them for $5 each it would be
111 * $5 = $555
Then subtract what you had to pay for the 57 paid keys
$555 - $168.72 = $386.28 potential profit with sharing the discount (emphasis on potential, i.e. not guaranteed)
The opportunity cost is -$168.72 if you manage to sell none.
Pretty high opportunity cost (this is bad) but with reasonable return. You'd have to sell 34 (not done easily) of them to break even and you'd have 77 left.
If discount is not shared
139 * ($3.78 - 2.96) = $113.98 extra from keeping discount
$386.28 + $113.98 = $500.26 potential profit without sharing the discount
The opportunity cost is -$54.74 if you manage to sell none: $113.98 - $168.72 = -$54.74
Very low opportunity cost and very high potential return. You'd only need to sell 11 of the 111 to break even and you'd have 100 left.
---
In general, if you do not share the refund it puts you in a very awesome position.
If you do share the refund it's hard to say. If none of the extras sell you are down -$168.72 but you have the potential to make quite a bit if they do sell but I wouldn't bank on it, at least not in the short term. It would really be playing the risk/reward game. You could lose a lot but you stand to make a lot if you can find buyers, but this is "normal" when trying to do business right? If you want to make profit you have to take risk.
So what's the issue? If you don't want to order up to the next price break that's fine. We get no discount and you take no risk. If you do order up to the next price break and don't share the discount, we get nothing and you get the chance to make a high profit with minimal risk because it would be cushioned by the unshared discount.
This is both good and bad though... on the one hand, since the other people in the group buy are 71% responsible for meeting the 196 orders (100% - 29%), it sucks that we don't see a discount. On the other hand, if you buy up and we don't get the discount, it doesn't really hurt us, and we can be nice and give you a chance to make money... why not give a geekhacker this chance, right?
If you do as dorkvader said and share some of the discount it might reach a nice medium where the buyers get some price reduction (for the opportunity provided and as deserved for being in the group buy), you have modest opportunity cost and modest potential return. In the case of sharing half the discount the opportunity cost is about -$100 and the profit is around $450. Not all would sell; 20 sales are needed to break even with 91 left over to try to profit with.
The problem is that in every situation, if Ragnorock buys up, he starts by going into the negatives, but this is the risk associated with potential future profit. The question, to which there is no real answer, is what amount of risk and profit is fair? And thus the whole problem and its associated drama. If we fight too hard for a discount he just won't buy up and we get nothing. If we don't fight at all we don't get the discount we deserve, but, at the cost of like $0.82 per person (times your number of backspaces), we give him the chance to make a nice return.
The further I get into this, the more I think that he should just do it and not give us the discount really, and that's coming from the guy with the most backspace orders. This is analogous to the "everybody in the world gives somebody a penny and he's rich and they don't really lose out on anything" scenario.
The actual best thing would be if there is a 150 price break, and I imagine there must be one since there are price breaks at 150 for other keycaps, unless it's different for dye sublimation.
aaand subscribed :D
Lol, back for some more fun drama? It really is interesting though because there really is no clear best way to do this. It's really up to Ragnorock to decide if the risk is worth the potential reward and, if he does, to decide how much of that risk can be fairly cushioned by keeping some percentage (0% to 100%) of the discount.
Perhaps you could help come up with a solution since you were a naysayer last time. :)
I like to think that I'm being critical yet constructive and realistic and would like to see both the group and Ragnorock benefit without him having to risk an unfair amount. There will be some risk in any situation, but if he keeps a high percentage of the discount, it's a risk that is very worth taking.
I'm just happy that i'm not the only one on here that know how to do math. You should put it in a spreadsheet to cause more fear.
I won't comment on a solution at this time.
I do know that if we hit a "magic number" where all the keys cost the same via the discount, and I share that discount with everyone, then everyone's contribution to the total cost goes down, and I have to make up for it. Does that make sense?
Anybody notice that the Geekhackers from Quebec tend to be the most obnoxious?
Va te faire foutre, trouduc. Buy it or don't buy it but knock off the threadcrapping (bannable offense in every OTHER forum I hang at).
I'n a show of Geekhack solidarity I'm buying some despite the GLWIC (http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?24707-Why-Is-The-Ripster-So-Darn-Pissed-At-Signature-Plastic-Key-Group-Buys&p=465802&viewfull=1#post465802) effect. And despite Paypal still holding my OTHER group buy money.
Even though you are the organizer, you are also one of the group buyers.
So let's start over, Rag, what is your plan for this group buy?
You guys wanted transparency and there you have it. That is far and away more information than anyone else has ever divulged when running a group buy, so I hope everyone appreciates it.
Those prices are preliminary but they're likely to be the prices I charge on GH and not on other websites like eBay and Etsy- If I do end up selling them on there.
As far as copyrighted material goes, the only thing copyrightable about Triforce is the name... and there are about a million other products out there bearing that symbol and calling it the triforce and I guarantee you not all of them are licensed.
Note, the startup fees etc have not been factored into prices yet, but they won't make a difference in quantities ordered.
Yeah sorry I forgot to post exactly what they were earlier, forgot amongst all the other things I was trying to say then.Thanks for the numbers, ragnarock!
150 $3.33
200 $3.10
hello ragnarok, how many does it need to reach 150? i think i can order a few extra more.
Btw, sorry for not posting anything, my ISP failed on me and render me no internet for like 3~4 days.
Tomorrow. All of my finals were conveniently located at the very start of finals week so I've been too busy with school. Last final is tomorrow and I'm going to rock it.

Good luck with your exams, young folks.

I know, I just wanted to give you crap for using the word gay to describe something negative.
Wonderful time for Paypal's invoice tab to stop working. No not all of paypal, just the part I need. FFFFFFFFF.
I haven't paid because I don't have an invoice yet!Show Image(https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/icon/icon_load_roundcorner_lock1_186x42_withlock.gif)
The reason I haven't paid yet: I'll sort it out after work.
I got my $134.50 back from the other illfated group buy so have plenty to spend on Paypal.
:D Can't wait to get it, ETA on when it gets to me?They get here on the 29th so i'm guessing the first week of January
@ Hawkwind. That price has been the same since always. Not just since the start of this group buy, but since my first one. The cost isn't just to cover the postage, I have to fill out customs forms and stuff too, so sorry if you didn't order enough keys to make it worthwhile.
I've had keys sent from the US for under $5 USD in bubble envelopes, keys inside baggys and custom forms filled out. Just saiyan.
I've had keys sent from the US for under $5 USD in bubble envelopes, keys inside baggys and custom forms filled out. Just saiyan.Maybe you shouldn't have ordered anything at all if you had a problem with the shipping charges.
Okay, all invoices have been sent out. Managed to find another window tonight where it was working, it really must have something to do with the traffic on the website.
Here's the important part: I need the following information from the following users. Please send it to me in a PM.
Need shipping recipient names from:
Ishtob
TopazPie
DoomSheep
Peptobiscuit
Slueth
Kick
Need a shipping address from:
DreamingFTW
NguyenAdam (To make sure the address is still the same and I don't have to go find it)
Paid. Please don't forget to send the SC2 leftovers I bought with my order. I left a reminder for you in the special instructions box on Paypal as well ;)
20 left out of 86 or so, so about 1/4.
i paid yesterday can i keep my legs
Time to bring my leg breaking stick!~ ^_^Kneecapping stick!
I doubt they will be ready by then, highly doubt. Your invoice will tell you exactly what you ordered... does everyone just pay it without looking at it?
I went WTF when I saw my invoice...it was like $60...Then I realized how much I actually bought. ><
You can transfer 3 keys over to me! :D
I doubt they will be ready by then, highly doubt. Your invoice will tell you exactly what you ordered... does everyone just pay it without looking at it?
I double checked your PM and it was the same as what I billed you. That should be enough to ensure you that everything is correct without spoiling what you ordered. :)Oh, thanks man. I trusted you either way, but I'm impressed you went above and beyond.
^Because I'm too lazy to go and find each email out of the list and correlate it back to their Usernames lol.
Okay so here's a couple of things.:
Zlfle's payment to Paypal got reversed, either he said something wrong to Paypal or they didn't believe him. Which is funny because when I spoke to them on the phone it was only flagged because they were concerned his account might have been compromised. The guy on the phone told me they would release it no problem if I had him call and say it was authorized. Need that payment resent ASAP. Everyone else has paid. (YAY!)
I forgot to charge everyone the $150 in fees and the $17 in shipping, which sucks. I guess in my frustration getting paypal to work and how busy I was at the time with the end of the semester I forgot to make those changes in the prices of the keys. Its my mistake so I won't be sending out additional invoices all over again to collect ~$1.75 from everyone. If anyone feels overly giving (lol Christmas is over so fat chance) you can feel free to gift however much it would be per keycap you have. There were 1600 Nyancat keys ordered, so $80 over 1600 is $0.05 per key ordered and for triforce there are 350 keys so $70/350 is $0.20 per key ordered. Since I screwed up I'm including my extras ordered in that cost (I wasn't going to before if anyone else remembers.) I don't expect even half of the buyers to contribute, but whatever you want to contribute helps. I was going to do the shipping charge per buyer, so $17/82 is $0.20 per order. So anyone who wants to contrtibute can figure out how much was their burden and paypal me at my email, which everyone should have. If you don't then its the word the, then an underscore, then american with a c in front of it at hotmail.com (I don't particularly want my email grabbed by a web crawler lol.)
SP reopens Jan 2nd so I'll get the order in then, I've already sent a request for an invoice to Melissa. Merry Christmas and Happy New Years to all.
Dave out.
Dorkvader, yours would be $2.90, which is high. Hint: You ordered a fair number of Triforce keys.
Sorry guys, I had issues with my car and didn't make it home tonight, sending the payment tomorrow. Still looking for those willing to chip in for their share of the cutting/artwork fees, see previous posts. :PHope everything is okay!
Payment sent, expect them at the end of the month, early Feb at the latest.
just FYI (i work in the logistics/import/export business), China will be closed from January 21st till January 30th for Chinese New Years, so these orders may not be processed until Feb.
During this time, literally all of China "closes", there's no ships/airlines services.
are these still up for sale?

Orders closed; awwwww. I've joined the Mech Community too late. If anyone is reselling Nyan and/or TriForce these and willing to ship to UK, PM me!
PMed you, I should have a some spares when they get to me.
London as well ; p arn't you lucky.
I know this is over, but if any one has any extras I'd love to buy them. Preferably the whole set. I guess you could say I'm a huge nyan cat fan and I'd love to have these.
EDIT: As you can probably tell, I'm new, so don't get pissed if I don't understand how the buying and selling of these work. :)
Ragnorock will have some left over that you can buy from him once they arrive. I don't know what he'll charge for them, though.
Welcome to Geekhack. You made a good decision starting at the group buy forum.
Just realized I'd been spelling his name wrong this whole time. :p
Edit: as a last resort I'd offer to sell you one of mine, but I don't know what I ordered. It's a big secret for me!
Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you, the "Tri Triangle" keycap!

Obviously it isn't on a green background, but that's just a test mold.
Still accepting preorders for them, they'll ship when everyone else's ship if you preorder! $4 per Esc $5 per mod.

Yeah. Green keycap color with that legend color I'm assuming. It was just their test mold so I'm sure they're just using what they had on hand. I emailed Melissa to be sure though. :P
The black one looks pretty good. Wonder if we can do some of those for a future group buy...
Yeah that black looks really good. I hope we don't regret going with green. :O
I would buy another, heck, I'd replace all my Function keys with triforces if I had them.
I've bought quite a few extras. Still haven't figured out what I'm going to do with them....Sell them, cover my keyboard in them?
You know you can give somw to me... haha
Hmm, my name wasn't added to the buyers list.
Does this mean I won't be getting one?
Can't believe I missed out on Nyan Cat :(
Okay, so since my spreadsheet is now full, and I've collected enough money to cover the costs I bore for the setup fees, I'm thinking of closing off preorders until the leftovers thread goes up in a couple of weeks. Thoughts? I could always make it longer, or open up a new one, but lol.
Anyways, its not that much work so if people still want to preorder that's fine, but just to let everyone know there are only 3 full Nyansets left. I have tons of leftover Nyancat backspaces and triforce keys of both kinds, but ordering the Nyansets was expensive, so I only ordered enough rainbow keys for 15 total. I would prefer to have a few of those available when the leftovers actually get here, but I dunno, looking for some input on that as well.
There is also the question of the prototype Nyancat keys that are pictured in the OP. I'm not sure what I actually want to do with those, as they're all one of a kind. They don't really go with much but they are very collectable. I may auction them off or something if lots of people are interested in having them.
Dave out. They should be done soon.
I have tons of leftover Nyancat backspaces and triforce keys of both kinds
Noo, damnit, I really wanted that set :/There will be leftovers. There are always leftovers, and people selling on the classifieds. No worries!
Keeping my eyes open if there will be any leftovers.
MmmBacon and GeorgeStorm, I am still showing neither of you as paid. There are people that desperately want these keys, so if you do not pay very soon I am canceling your invoices and giving the keys to someone else. If you have paid please contact me immediately.
The bubble envelopes ship first class, while the boxes ship priority. In your case it makes sense to switch to priority, but because it is an APO they are going to charge international shipping. That is going to be significantly more expensive if you want it. Send me a PM and we'll work it out.
Yeah not sure where that post went
Turns out the keys are here. Going to go get them now. No promises on getting them out this week though. If I do that means I have to sort them all and get them all packed by the end of tonight pretty much, since I don't plan on doing that while I have a friend in from 8 hours away. Pics shortly, stay tuned.
This is the last addition to my Quickfire, next week will feel like forever. :bounce:
I'll post some of it on my keyboard tomorrow. Till then, cheers!

Sorry about the file size. Was in too much of a hurry to resize them.
Hazel had made a new SVG to accentuate the pixelated nature of the image, but I guess they didn't think to left align the new design like the old one was, mildly annoying. :P
Just curious, how much did people pay for a Nyancat backspace and the 13 keys that followed?
Was it really $112 with the bubble mailer?
lolwut? I don't remember what I paid but it wasn't anything near $112.
That's just what I concluded from the price rates in the OP. I would love to get the Nyan set if it wasn't over $50.
Somebody needs to reread the op...
It's a group buy. The price breakdown shows what is paid per key for the TOTAL quantity of everyone's orders.
Ah, my apologies, being the first group buy I've ever participated in I was unsure of if those rates were measured individually or by the group as a whole.
Thanks man, much appreciated. I explained the situation to my friend so we might get them done and all sent out by Friday or Sat or something... depends on how fun the girls find it lol.
Till then, here are a couple more pics.
blood set? when was this discussed?
Yeah blood set is next. Expect it to happen the week after Nyan ships and the leftovers thread gets put up.
You're right I do need a white keyboard with all these PBT keys lol. However if I did I would want to do a full set of dyesubs on white... maybe that red on white one you guys like so much lol. This Leo has just become my crazy "everything" keyboard and I love it lol.
too expensive.
lot of people don't want to pay 90+ for dye sub pbt
Should emulate something like the Red Alert set and add in some keys that are white on red. (Eg. WASD or the number row)
TKL!
(I really don't care for that name tbh, trying to come up with something else,)
provide everyone else with a MUCH CHEAPER set of doubleshots than you can get in Round 4.
Yeah, looking to send the order in at the end of the month, so only a couple of weeks, maybe 2.5 to get orders in. Lead time from SP should be shorter as well because this is very standard for them... so I'd probably be getting these keys shipped out mid to late March. There also shouldn't be any cutting fees etc, but those prices aren't final.
i support his original idea of a blood set, and cant wait until the GB happens.
i like the second option best. with both execute and enter keys.
Lmao that would be amazing. Sadly I'm not too sure they would want them posted. :P

I'm thinking the main letters may be a bit smaller than that.

What in the hell are you talking about? Why in the world would they care about that?
Are you going with arrow keys or up/down/left/right?
Arrows. Pretty sure everyone prefers that right?

Red on Black looks great.
Could it be possible if we have some keycaps in Black on Red (Esc, Execute, Ctrl, WASD, Arrows)???
int'l addresses are a pain to write in customs forms.I do the same, or stamps.com just fixes it for you :DDDDD
i usually just google the address and see how google formats it and just copy it.
All done. Everything has been sent. Some might get theirs as soon as Wednesday! I'll get a leftovers thread and the Red on Black set up soon.
Dave out.
At the post office right now, yours just went in the bin. :P
Oh god I just read that post about wrong addresses, checked mine, and sure enough my zip was wrong because I've moved three times in the same city over the past six months. I hope USPS isn't dumb like me and knows what to do.
Damn, that's one I would never have caught anyways since obviously it looked correct. What will happen is that it will get to your city, but go to the wrong post office within it, hopefully they can forward it to the right one and get it delivered. USPS said that it should get returned to me if it doesn't get delivered, but that hasn't happened in the past. Fortunately your order wasn't huge so even if anything does happen I can send you a new Nyancat and Triforce key- I'm out of rainbows.
I had someone send something to my work address paired with my home zip code recently by mistake. It went to my local post office, went out for delivery, back to the post office, then to the correct post office near my work. Took a couple of extra days is all.

Edit: Added more pics on keyboard
Dan, I need that keyboard for my girlfriend, where can I get one?
Also thanks for the feedback guys, I really appreciate it. Its often pretty time consuming to go and write on everyone's feedback lists, so if ever you need me to vouch for you, lmk.
those are the limited edition pink filcos, so they are discontinued. only place that i found them is at taobao and armygroup.

The armygroup ones have chinese characters on them though
Before I forget, does anyone have the PBT white with grey legend keys that Qtan sells? I'm curious how the color of the keys compares to the nyancat/portal keys.
I has lots leftover, but more escapes! Too busy playing SC2 to get the thread up though lol.
Is anyone else having difficulties with the Nyan backspace? The plastic pieces that attaches to the stabilizer are loose.
i was the one pushing for triforce mods and never got any lol
haha - forgot I had a Porn version of this:

Thanks Ragnorock - so far the keys look great! Nice bright colors.
Hey Rag, got the keys, thanks for putting in the effort. Don't know what to say though, my Backspaces sure as hell won't correctly fit any of my keyboards with Cherry stabilizers. It looks like there's excessive curvature on the entire key. Any way to get an RMA from SP?
Wait... what? What keyboards do you have? These fit most boards out there, but not all. If your particular key has a curved base, then it could be a problem, but I didn't notice any that were bad... and for you to have 2 that are defective is simply not possible.Pics in a minute. Did not fit my Poker, G80-8200HUMUS, Dolch 18XX.
Edit: Pictures please.
In psychology we call that "catharsis".
Psychology, not gastroenterology.
Has anyone else had fitment issues?
Revenge, my Nyan backspace fits flush against a Cherry backspace. Looks like you got a bum key. :(
My Protoss key collection is now complete! Oh yeah and the keys are nice too. :D

It looks like there's excessive curvature on the entire key. Any way to get an RMA from SP?Whenever I got my SP PBT set in from \KL (where did that guy go, anyway?) I thought the same. The backspace looked super curved. It still worked fine, though. I've only tried it on costar stabilizers.
To be clear, I can "force" it on, but the key will bind and be stuck halfway depressed. Makes sense if you think about the design of Cherry vs Costar stabilizers.
As an aside, this is the first time I've managed to rip out a Cherry stabilizer while removing a keycap. Damn you SP, I guess you're only Cherry-stem compatible!
Huh, yeah that sorta makes sense, I'm going through them now and looking. There is definitely some variance in the curve. That is why they don't make PBT spacebars, because they can't get them to not curve often enough. I'll send you some straighter ones if you want to do a swap. The ones you have should fit some Leopolds etc.I'm down for that. Just make sure you find some that are as straight as possible, would be great if you had a Cherry board to test with.

Looks like my first mistake this time around, sent everything already. I'll get em out to you soon. Pretty busy this week.
Indeed, send me a PM or post it in here whenever, no real use for this thread anymore other than pictures. :P

Huh, strange thing to see in the list of replies.
Yeah I thought so too. Its funny I posted my pics on reddit and they got zero attention.
I was thinking, if I made a post in that thread would you guys upvote it so people could be directed to the leftovers for sale thread? I read a bunch of the comments and it looks like people really want them but don't know where to get them.
let geekhackers get some leftovers first!
Is it too late to get on the group buy?
Is it too late to get on the group buy?yes, and no.
Nyansets are gone yeah. Plenty of backspace and triforce keys for now.
I only got 6 of each key, but I ordered a full set. I'll pm you as well
I also ordered Triforce modifiers but got single sized keys
Huh, well that sucks. Are you sure it is an "up" key that is missing? I have one, and I mean exactly 1 leftover down key. I can send that with some correct triforce keys if you want to send those keys back. I would double check exactly which ones you have since they look so similar, but even if you do only have 6 of each (and not 7 up and 5 down.) You could just alternate them the opposite way and it would look pretty much identical. I just tested it myself and you really can't tell.
You know I got all down keys despite ordering 2 up and 2 down. But I was polite and didn't complain.
You want me to send 2 down keys back?
Impossibru. Pics?
Yeah I can do that Noodles. Give me a bit though, family is in town.
Oneproduct fellow canadian, wanna sell me a set? >_>
Sorry buddy, I keep checking my mailbox but I haven't gotten the keys yet. I'll just take it on good faith that you have and send them out then. The reason you got escapes and not mods is because I put the 2 in the wrong column. Only time that happened this round, so my bad.
By the way, leftovers are up for sale here:

Okay, here are the people I've got replacement/missing keys ready to ship out for:Awesome! Btw just to clarify it was 4 triforces total. Two were 1.25 and two were normal 1 size.

If anyone else has had fitment issues or missing keys, please contact me, as I may have misplaced previous PMs amidst the deluge of Ragnarok orders. Likewise I won't know until you say something if you haven't come forward with a problem.
Waiting to see if Cancelx wants to exchange his, I suppose Diji too, though his problem doesn't necessitate an exchange.
I will get these mailed out tomorrow hopefully, if not Monday at the latest.
Again, leftovers here:

Keys arrived a couple of days ago.
Everything is great, except a small scuff mark on one of the triforce modifiers. But I consider that a non issue.
The nyan keys goes rather well with my rainbow poker.

I'm terribly sorry for the crappy picture. I usually don't like it when people post blurry cellphone pictures, so I'm really ashamed of myself right now.
Sorry you haven't gotten them yet, but it doesn't surprise me. I had to wait over 2 months for my TL.net keys. If they never do come in another few weeks, I'll send you a full refund.
