Help sort, package and post?

Yeah, that would make sense.

I just saw the post count and thought he is another one who can't read the OP and thinks he can still join this GB

nar nar nar, you r totally wrong.
I am from TO and i got 3 sets

Thanks for helping Elton with this GB!

you need to read the replies, keycaps are produced but the manufacturer is sorting them out. Its a lot of keys to be sorted so it will take some time, maeby another 10 more days till they are shipped.

Enough time for us to ask ourselves the questions:

Why did you buy this many sets?
Which keyboard next?

No! Reflecting on my impulse buys will only lead to sadness and self-loathing!

As for my next keyboard, hmmm...

It appears that the QuickFire pro has weird r1 keys around the spacebar. What keys will not fit on my board and require custom purchases from WASD, etc.?

Artichoke · « **Reply #1714 on:** Sun, 15 September 2013, 19:08:19 »

Looks like just the space bar wont fit. 4 1.5x keys and 2 1x keys were added to the GB so it looks like you'd be fine for the bottom row other than the spacebar.

legodt · « **Reply #1715 on:** Sun, 15 September 2013, 19:09:07 »

Really? That's great news!

Flamingchook · « **Reply #1716 on:** Mon, 16 September 2013, 09:17:35 »

Spacebar and one of the 1x keys for the bottom row. This GB only includes 2 blank 1x keys for the bottom row.

legodt · « **Reply #1717 on:** Mon, 16 September 2013, 13:53:15 »

Cool, that's about 8 bucks shipped from WASD, I hope the colors match well enough

nourathar · « **Reply #1718 on:** Wed, 18 September 2013, 15:39:14 »

i'm not sure their colors match very well, the yellow in this groupbuy seems warmer and the red green and blue seem deeper. But that is hard to judge from pictures...

Wait did I miss the picture of the gigantic pile of keycaps? I wanna see the picture of the dude with a snorkel cheekily bathing in the ballpit full of keycaps. Don't tell me no such picture exists. You took that picture right?

elton5354 · « **Reply #1722 on:** Wed, 18 September 2013, 17:37:45 »

I haven't received them yet. Shipping was a bit delayed.

nullstring · « **Reply #1723 on:** Sun, 22 September 2013, 13:26:42 »

Are we going to do a second group by those folks that held back due to lack of 6.25 spacebar?
I wonder if we can get the MOQ a second time..

Artichoke · « **Reply #1724 on:** Sun, 22 September 2013, 13:31:42 »

Keypop and Feng both ordered a bunch, so you can probably buy some off of them once this is over. I know keypop ordered enough spacebars to cover all of their orders.

nullstring · « **Reply #1725 on:** Sun, 22 September 2013, 13:36:48 »

Ok. That might work.
HRM, I wonder what the markup will be

elton5354 · « **Reply #1726 on:** Sun, 22 September 2013, 21:44:08 »

Not recent news, but I've asked TH about different colours for future GBs, this is what I was quoted for.

2000 sets MOQ per colour.....yeah, you read that right..

le_doosh · « **Reply #1727 on:** Sun, 22 September 2013, 21:49:54 »

Do they not want any more business?

I guess not small-scale. I think SP is happy to work us in because of the relatively high margins they make on our oddball stuff. My guess is that TH hasn't figured out how to make money off small-batch work. It is kind of weird when you think about it to be getting custom orders in this line of work. Imagine folks wanting to order white on blue appliance knobs in small batches or something like that. I think they're not used to dealing with the "community." I may be totally wrong on this, I'm just basing that on their behavior here.

If they were smart though, they wouldn't increase MOQ. They'd just increase their unit cost until it's worth their while. Shoot, double what we're paying would be a pretty good deal. And we're a great group to have around when things get slow. It's easy to stir up interest here if you need to keep the machines running while you wait for your next big job.

bazemk1979 · « **Reply #1729 on:** Sun, 22 September 2013, 22:23:52 »

maeby Elton can ask them if possible for them to keep the MOQ but raise the price?

The last one for a while.

Give it a year and a whole bunch of new members will join up and hear about a legendary $9 keycap set, and eventually another GB will take place.

terran5992 · « **Reply #1733 on:** Mon, 23 September 2013, 06:35:31 »

Yeah but its gonna be hard to hit the MOQ which is 4x more

meiosis · « **Reply #1735 on:** Mon, 23 September 2013, 14:03:00 »

I think with a 2800 MOQ the price would be even cheaper? Maybe just a $25,000 investment that will most likely pay off in the long run

bazemk1979 · « **Reply #1736 on:** Mon, 23 September 2013, 14:07:27 »

2000 sets per color @ $9 is not going to happen.... but

500 sets per color (included the 6.25 uni spacebar & off center stepped CapsLock) @ $20 per set can happen, still cheap and something that Tai Hao may consider accepting.

We're still discussing about this right now. I will let you guys know if it's good news

But for now, shipping of these sets should be sent out by this week.

Also some more news regarding new colours from TH.

2000sets – USD6.50
1000 sets – USD7.80
500sets – USD8.50
300sets – USD9.00

300 MOQ is the lowest they will go for now.

If there are interests in the near future for different colours, I'm more than happy to do another group buy for new colours. This time with the right space bar for 104 key cap set.

Got an update that the caps will be ready to be shipped by Sept 10~15. So I'll probably get them by the 2nd week of October.

Hi Elton,

All the Asia orders will be ship to proxy in Singapore direct, then proxy send to each people in Asia , am I right ?

Not anymore. It didn't work out, so I'm handling them.
