[SHIPPED] Tai Hao 110 Coloured DS Set GB

[Jokrik]

Well I was speaking with Tai Hao earlier about 6.25x space bars. They are now willing to make the tooling for it.

Gosh, they should've told me earlier because before they were just saying no, no 6.25x space bar!

1x6.25 spacebar: USD2.00 / per unit
MOQ: Total 2000pcs
Color Option: Black/Red/Blue/Yellow/Green
MOQ per color: 400~500pcs
Tooling Time: 1 month
Lead time: 1 month after finishing the tooling

Maybe another GB? But it's going to be hard to get to that MOQ.

Why would it be hard?
we hit the MOQ for the rest of the caps

I'm willing to spend for the space bar since there's no chance i'm getting a full size keyboard which use 7x
since I'm TKL all the way now

[LechnerDE]

I don't think hitting MOQ would be a major problem, because almost everybody would love a matching spacebar for standard keyboards.

Hell, I'd take 2 spacebars per set because they are the first thing that get's shiny. If we barely can't hit 2000 pieces, maybe keypop can come to the rescue again

I'd prefer to extend this GB and wait for the spacebars, because starting a separate GB would cause so much extra fees, shipping costs etc. that it isn't really worth it for a couple of spacebars...

I think you should start a one week poll to check if the majority is in favor of getting those spacebars done and if they are ok with extending this GB or not.

I, for one, do not agree to extension.
Organizing such a mass is not easy.
Some people just shoot and forget, or rather expect a slip from the post office in roughly N months.
This would also mean a change of plans for this GB - which is statistically not a good approach to doing things.

Organize it as a second group buy rather than an extension. I am ok with either but would prefer the oppurtunity to get the space bars.

[elton5354]

Extension could mean another few months to this GB. Also some orders wouldn't fit extra space bars due to the weight limit and would cost extra for shipping (orders of 3 sets and 7 sets).

I'll open a GB later today for the space bars and skip the IC to save time.

Fair enough. I really appreciate all the work you put into this GB! Awesome job so far Elton

That would be awesome!

[Techno Trousers]

Damn you Tai Hao!!

I'm in for the space bar GB, unless Keypop works out something better in the meantime.

Keypop will probably work something out, but it won't be as good as the original from TaiHao concerning matching profile and color.

[elton5354]

Just made a GB for the space bars.

Thank you for doing this. Awesome job with the group buy.

[heissler]

Sold!

Tai Hao really screwed up on the spacebar thing, having had this as an option from the start might have gotten even higher number of orders for the set, a proper pricing, less time wasted, less deliberation, and alot of other things

[whiskytango]

Agreed. This is exactly what went through my head as soon as I saw the 6.25 gb thread I would have bought more colors if I thought I could have got a matching space bar.... But, going forward, I think you have to do a separate gb as elton is doing.

I doubt MOQ will be a prob. Like someone said above, many people will buy extra spacebars simply because they wear out fast.

hope Elton will consider at least full touch off center Sapslock, even without any legends on it....

I told him to ask how much would cost be for the off center full touch blank, this way should be cheaper and other people who don't have winkeyless boards will stigg get them for the sake of longevity of the set.

[mapple]

6. So all in all, I'll get the caps maybe end of September or early October.             this date is still achievable at all?

[elton5354]

Probably mid Oct.

[concept73]

Is this still open>?!

(im new and would love to get me some keycaps!!!!!)

[Galaxy]

Sorry, this group buy is closed and in production.

Once everyone starts receiving their sets you'll probably be able to buy these from the Classifieds section.

[Photoelectric]

Keycap review here:

[bazemk1979]

they look good

[Photoelectric]

Yeah, they really do!  I love the red set.

[sonic_the_hedgehog]

Damn, the red looks nice. If only I'd had some more $ 

Will try to pick up a few sets once they come up in the classifieds I guess.

[Halvar]

You won't have to hope for the classifieds -- keypop.net will sell them regularly.

Okay, thanks for letting me know 

[mapple]

does the review means that all of us will recieve keycaps shortly?

[elton5354]

Depends on what's your definition of short

[elton5354]

Okay some disappointing news this morning.

Due to sorting and bagging over 2200 sets, the shipping time is delayed until Sept 20~25. It's taking them longer than expected to bag each set.

[Artichoke]

That's too bad, so we will hopefully be getting them late October/early November then?

[elton5354]

I'd rather they took a bit longer and got it right than rush everything through and then someone (elton?) has to deal with all the mismatched sets.

[ImaMoFoThief]

I can only imagine why its taking so long to sort 2200 full sets of keys

[Sifo]

Wait, Elton did you get t hem to your house?

[Flamingchook]

Tai Hao is doing the sorting. Hopefully we don't get too many mismatched sets.

[Sifo]

ohhh okay. wow have fun taihao

[elton5354]

Wait, Elton did you get t hem to your house?

I will be..will you be coming to help out? Haha

Not really disappointing, now that the caps are actually finished and in the packing stage.

Sorry for the TC Elton but Tonari no Totoro is definitely one of the best Ghibli works to date.

[last_sd]

Let me know if you find any extra sets left over!

[Sifo]
