im unsure what to expect when you say lavender...any chance we could have a photoshopped key to see the approximate look?

I don't have time for Photoshop right now but you can imagine, if you look at this thread:

Of course! Unicomp orange looks a bit ugly to me (looks better in skcheng's photos).

What do you say about Baby Blue (light blue)?

Post by: iMav on Fri, 04 February 2011, 04:17:29

I'm in for 5.  Has unicomp confirmed they can/will do this?

Title: IBM geekhack key group buy - Mar 2011
Post by: Half-Saint on Fri, 04 February 2011, 04:46:17

Yep, here's the reply I got:
"We can do the Geek Hack on one button but it would be costly. 1 button would be $5.00."

Just in case they can't actually do an all caps text would that be a big problem?

i would buy 5 of them if they were red with black text.  lavender.  gross.

Will only buy if they get print right.

Post by: Half-Saint on Sat, 05 February 2011, 03:02:18

I wrote Chuck to confirm 100% that they can do it in all caps, same layout as the existing GH keys. I'm still waiting for the answer. These could be both 1-piece or 2-piece, up to us.

So, let's make them red for starters and then we can follow up with other colors.

Cheers

I have some colored blank and clear keys from Fentek-Ind already.
It would be cool to get a GEEKHACK key for my Model M though!
Let's hope Unicomp can do the lettering.

Post by: zirrow on Wed, 09 February 2011, 13:15:03

I'm in for four(4) of them, as long as we're still talking about red/black.  I'm a bit new here (first post, but been lurking for a bit), how do I go about paying for this?  from OP, Unicomp directly, or some other arcane system of beads & shells involving the wind?

Title: IBM geekhack key group buy - Mar 2011
Post by: lootbag on Wed, 09 February 2011, 13:38:20

They picked up my phone call on Monday, said they would call me back about a small order, never did.

Didn't pick up the phone today or answer emails.

Typical.

Anyway I'm in for red!

As soon as I get confirmation from Unicomp, I'll let you guys know so you can start sending payment directly to me. I'll handle it from there.

OK, just talked to Chuck on the phone and they can do the custom print. I'll order the buttons shortly.

Title: IBM geekhack key group buy - Mar 2011

Order has been placed for 50 GH keys. As soon as I get them, I'll start collecting orders :)

i wish chuck printed white on colors.  even if it wore off after awhile.  

a black keyboard with white on red keys would seem like it would look good.

Quote from: kishy;297436

It still has not been clarified exactly what colours there are, and in what way the orange keys are inferior to the way SKCheng's photos show them.

On the contrary.. in post #15 it was stated that I will be ordering red keys (black text). This is now a done deal.

If this goes well, I don't see why we couldn't order orange, blue or whatever :)

I'd like one, I think -- just one question. I type on a 122-key Unicomp with two-piece caps. Is one single-piece cap going to: a) look different, and/or b) feel any different?

Cheers.

Actually I have no idea whether this is going to be a one-piece or a two-piece cap. It won't look different and shouldn't feel different.

Lavender would be like this, although I think they make a darker one as well

(http://geekhack.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=10738&d=1275854559)

There's a chart somewhere of all the colours they offer and pictures of them.

The coloured keycaps are usually two part.

Also can you give some quotes on shipping?

Post by: Half-Saint on Fri, 04 March 2011, 00:45:40

Red. I will post pictures when I get my hands on the package.

Here's a better picture. As you can see, most of the caps have "weak print" in the center, beats me why. The worse samples will not be distributed. It's certainly not perfect but also not too terrible.

I'll also speak to Chuck on Monday as he wasn't at work today.

If you still have a few left, maybe I could get two off you instead of the one I signed up for? By the way, is shipping still the same to New Zealand ($9 for first key, $5 for additional including shipping)?

Many thanks, sorry to piss you around.

Cool. Sent that off now. My first time doing a personal Paypal transaction, looks like it screwed up the format of my address in the message, but hopefully you can figure it out.

Thanks heaps for this man!

Noticed on my Unicomp 122-key, that occasionally the printing is a little iffy, much like the keys you got. For example, my `Control' key (spelled out, not `Ctrl') is a little crooked and faded in places.

In any case, no big deal, get street cred for having a faded Model M! That's some serious typing!

Cool, got home from work and there were two nice keys in the mailbox.

The ones I got actually look very good, the printing is not really all that bad. Nice red too. Brilliant, thanks very much Half-Saint!

Will post up a pic of them on my aircraft carrier when I get to work tomorrow.

Was happily surprised (although obvious now I look back at this thread) that they have the keystems as well! So now I have a couple spare. Which is good because I'm about to receive a very crappy Model M with a keystem missing.

Big thanks to Half-Saint.

If possible, I'd like 4. Didn't read the entire thread, so did you settle on just red?

I still have 18 quite decent caps left and 11 that have crooked or smudgy labels. Anyone interested in getting the keys, please follow the instructions from the 1st post. Thank you.

Sending payment for 1 key soon. FYI Half-Saint, unless I'm missing something I didn't see instructions in your first post, had to go to post #60 at the bottom of page 4 for instructions.

Title: IBM geekhack key group buy - Mar 2011
Post by: Half-Saint on Mon, 25 April 2011, 08:23:03

Thanks for letting me know. I was pretty sure that I updated the 1st post ages ago. It's fixed now :)

The 11 worse keys will not be distributed unless someone wants to try sand-blasting them.

Awesome, can't wait to get my key! Just needed to add some color to that keyboard, for some reason it always feels like just one red escape key gives a keyboard 10x more personality. :-)

@Ink'Eyes: Sorry about the delay, your key will be shipped today. You'll get one extra key to compensate for the long wait.

I wrote Chuck to confirm 100% that they can do it in all caps, same layout as the existing GH keys. I'm still waiting for the answer. These could be both 1-piece or 2-piece, up to us.

Wait, Unicomp can make the two piece keycaps? For some reason I was under the impression Unicomp's keyboards all had one piece caps. Special order only?

They do a lot of their keyboard with two-piece keycaps. My 122-key terminal emulator, for instance. I didn't ask, it just came that way.

Post by: Half-Saint on Tue, 17 May 2011, 04:38:43

UPDATE: I only have 2 or 3 keycaps left from the first batch. However, Chuck sent me about 15 replacement caps to replace the bad ones which didn't get shipped out anyway. Different font, much much better printing. If anyone is interested, just follow the instructions.

Cheers,
SainT

Post by: xwhatsit on Tue, 17 May 2011, 04:53:39

Do you have any pictures of the new batch, Half-Saint? Might be keen on another couple if they look much different :)

Thanks for doing all this by the way, must be a lot of small trips to the post-office!

Hello

do you still have some GH key left ?

Thanks

I've been very busy for the last few days. I will be posting photos of what I have left this weekend.


@gilgam: I have a few keys from the 1st batch and should have at least 10 keys from the new batch.

Cheers

Post by: Half-Saint on Sun, 22 May 2011, 02:29:13

I have more caps than pictured. Those are just samples for you to see how they came out. I'll sort them out today and see how many I have of each.

Post by: Half-Saint on Sun, 22 May 2011, 05:35:46

I'm sorry but I can't fulfill wishes like "top row, 3rd cap" simply because I tossed them back in the plastic bag with the other keys. I can however promise that you will get the best caps on the "first come, first serve" base.

Since more people are expressing interest and I only have 7 GEEK HACK and 5 Geek Hack keys left, I'll have to set a limit of 2 keys of each type per person.

If there are keys left, by the end of the week, I'll let you know.

Title: IBM geekhack key group buy - Mar 2011
Post by: Calvero on Mon, 23 May 2011, 04:14:10

Payment sent for two ALL CAPS keys.

Title: IBM geekhack key group buy - Mar 2011

Currently all the ALL CAPS keys are either sold or spoken for. A few "Geek Hack" keys are still available.

To everyone that already paid for their keys, I'll be going to the post office today.

To everyone else: there are 5 keys left from the first batch and 3 "Geek Hack" keys as well.
