[GB] Granite Set ~ Sublimated Full PBT (spacebar included)

[jacobolus]

I guess Mono Legend just isn't in the cards...

I’d expect the standard Mono Legends to still make it. Probably out of luck on the international ones though.

[Matt3o]

I'll be working on the final legends this weekend. I'm redesigning the whole thing with illustrator to reduce chance of error with the printing process (SP surely uses Illustrator). I'll post everything here when done.

[mougrim]

And Nerdom is almost reached next tier... one left

Hi All,

This group buy looks like a great setup! There was a comment earlier in the thread about the seemingly low number of Ergodox orders, I might of found a reason. I hate to be to be criticizing your hard work Matt3o, Just hoping that there is a chance to adjust things to make the set a better fit.

I laid out the setup to figure out which key sets I would need and it seems neither the Icon/Text Pro Mod set or the Ergodoxian set have a 1.5 Tab key. You'd have to get the Icon/Text (non pro) Mod set (which is, by design, mostly filled with keys that won't fit an Ergodox) or go with the blank set. Springing for 36$ over the 115$ for the 3 base Ergodox sets for one key is a bit of a barrier. I know it's late in the game but any chance we could get a 1.5 tab key added to the Ergodoxian or Icon/Text Pro set?

At this stage I can't add/remove other keys.

Normally you'd have to take the full TKL set as a minimum, this GB is not different. The difference is that a full TKL keyboard will end up costing $62, which is pretty reasonable for a full PBT sublimated set. The split between common and modifiers is not because you can get one or another, but because you can choose between icon and text.

There seems to be quite some interest in Ergodox sets, sooner or later we might organize something specifically crafted for ergodox.

hmm...putting a tab in ergodox kit or text pro mod kit seems to make sense.

i was actually trying to find a way to buy 1 set of each to utilize the kits so that i can put them on my ergodox and a tkl board.
i find it that it will be almost perfect for me if the cyrillic doesn't have the *7 missing keys to fill up a full alpha.
then i can have tkl and ergodox with 1 missing Tab (which right now i have to get Half Blank to fill it up)
by ordering,
Base Kit,
Text Mod,
Text Pro Mod,
Numpad,
Ergodoxian,
Nerdom,
Blue Enter,
7u Spacebar,
Half Ergo Blank,
*Cyrillic <-- refer to earlier paragraph

edit: really need to trim my order... can't decide between text and Icon so I want both but my wallet can't handle it right now.

Go for the icons, you may spend a few dollars more now, but you will have a one-of-a-kind set, the legends are just too common. You may get them somewhere else, but the icons are fine art you will only have this chance to get.

All Mono will make it, we are some guys on DT working to have the Mono International

Current status:



We need 2 more Numpads, 7 ISO Enter, 1 more Nerdom, 3 more Cyrillic and 6 more Windowed!

Remember that if you can help spreading the word by adding a link to your signature. Here's how. These are the results so far http://lab.cubiq.org/granite/result.php

Also, we are running out of time! Just 4 days and a bunch of hours remaining!

If you were holding back, now it's the time to act!

[taylordcraig]

I might take out a loan to make this happen. 

[ideus]

If I want to add a couple of kits to my original order, how should I proceed? I know I can just add a second order, but that will require to pay an additional shipping, right?

[tbc]

hehe.

window set is tipped now

order more!  because it's freaking expensive

[Photoelectric]

Matt3o: could you please make us a nice 3D mock-up of a set-up with Cyrillic caps?  Perhaps with some other kits, like RGB or Lost and Found.

[minho]

Can anyone give me a tl;dr rundown of all the Nerdom keycaps? I'm not familiar with the origins of many of them.

Excuse me for the total noob question, but do the cyrillic caps come with the other numbers, do you know? Because in the picture it only shows 2,3,4,6,7 for some reason.

[Photoelectric]

They do not.  They are an add-on pack to replace certain keycaps in the base kit.  Only those keycaps that would be different on a full English/Cyrillic keyboard.  I do wish they were a full set of alphas.

Damn, okay. Thanks for letting me know.

Order is in for numpad and spacebar! Thanks Matt3o

I wish it had a dark mod color for the |\ so that it would work on the ergodox.

it takes some time, I'll do my best but I still have to finalize all the templates.

[mougrim]

Hmm... 150 tier already almost here... I'll keep praying for 200 tier... even if it's a liiitle far from reality

[taylordcraig]

I know that I was the one who quoted the SP website, but I would like to make certain.

If I order now and then we reach a lower price point, I will pay the lower price point after the buy ends,

yes?

edit: i went to c/o with paypal and it seemed as though I was paying.

Paypal locked sum of kit prices at the time of your buy. But if any of those kits will reach the next tier, all money it saved will be returned to your account.

It does. It's in the alpha kit.

Thank you for clarifying. I will add more money to my account later this week and make my purchase in a day or two. [or more likely in the last 24 hours]

[mougrim]

[Matt3o]

Nerdom finally hit 25 tier! Now we need more ISO!!!

1 more for 150 common kits!

[swill]

We will break 150 with my order. I will be getting icon kits as well, but I won't order till the last day because of the paypal freeze stuff. Being in canada I will pay a % for what gets converted to USD and if there is a refund, it will be in USD which I can no longer withdraw from my PP account (can only withdraw Canadian funds).

It's a bit tricky working with USD from Canadian paypal, so it is much easier to deal with if the price is less likely to change.

How much is shipping btw?

Hmmm... Can't you pay from some debit bank card through Paybal NOT signing up?

PayPal refunds to whatever source you got the money from. So if it was PayPal balance/Bank transfer/Debit card, the refund would end up in your PayPal balance. If you purchase via CC, it'll get refunded to your CC. Only downside is, you get dinged twice by unfavourable exchange rates.  I believe you can also withdraw USD to Canadian banks, except it uses PP's conversion rate to CAD.

Shipping will depend on your order. If you fill in the billing/shipping info, and continue with checkout, it'll show you the shipping cost. When I did a test purchase, Base kit+ Nerd+ Enter+ Mods cost $17 shipping to Canada.

If you build it, they will come....

[Matt3o]

The final nerdom kit.

[mougrim]

Cool! That'll be Empire for the Pn and Republic for the Fn keys

...Or maybe Empire symbol will replace my Windows key. Because it's Dark Side

[TBone]

TAKE MY MONEY! Just put in my order, so psyched. Now I have a reason to buy a Poker II ... like I needed a reason before!
All of my monies.

[Matt3o]

150!

You are amazing guys!

Now head to 200!

I think you have to sign up, but yes you can pay from a debit card. When you do, it will transfer the funds to USD and I pay a fee on that (and the exchange rate). Then if there is a refund, it will be in USD which can not be transferred back Canadian dollars, so they will not let me transfer that back to my bank. The only way to then use that money is to pay for something else in USD from PP. It's not a huge issue, but I would like to limit what I am forced commit to USD in PP.

Not sure if that all makes sense.

[swill]

Thx for the shipping details zeal.

Ya, just trying to limit my losses.

I want the icon mods to get to the next tier, that is the only one I am concerned about. Pretty sure the rgb icon set won't get to next tier, but I would be stoked if it did.

Just do it.

[ideus]

How many base sets do you think will the GB reach by its end?

[MrClaus]

Matt3o, I've already ordered some caps sets about a week ago...If I wanted to add some more caps now, will I have to order again and pay the shipping charges again? Or can I inform you first so that paypal doesn't double charge me the shipping fees.

I dunno about the international, but there's stunningly few blank sets sold.

Wonder why ...

[Ronnn]

How is the color of granite set compared to wyse dsa set( http://i.imgur.com/SddZHKx.jpg ) ?  Is the wyse's whiter than granite set? Anyone know the color code of wyse dsa set?

[Matt3o]

Last 3 days! Order now or regret forever!

TKL Keyboard:
Common kit + Text mods = $62

Full keyboard:
Common kit + Text mods + Numpad = $77

I'm also glad to announce that even 1.50u keyboards (and less common layouts) are sub $100 now:
Common+text mods+pro mods+7u spacebar = $95

Any ISO layout:
Common kit + Text mods + ISO Enter + Intl kit = $113

Add $6 and you also get blue enter.

we need at least 5 more ISO Enters!

At this point our target is 200 common kits, so price will be even better!

[StylinGreymon]

Wow, we're really gunnin' it now!

Dis gon' be gud...

[mougrim]

It'd be nice if Cyrillic set tipped next tier...
