[SHIPPED] Tai Hao 110 Coloured DS Set GB

[rowdy]

Seems like this group buy has slowed down.  How much time left till we hit the 1 month mark?

Do we have to do operation "Everyone-Double-Your-Order" soon? 

I thought some people said that the people from keypop or whatever would probably bump us up to the MOQ near the end, as they would turn around and sell them to people who missed the GB.  I could be mistaken.

Elton would have to confirm, but I would definitely believe that even a small business would want to turn these around for a quick buck, given the cost.  If I didn't know the GB rate, I would buy one of these sets on eBay at $40 in a heartbeat.

They're gonna have to stay price-competitive, though, considering there's gonna be a large number of people with 2-3 keyboards and 6-7 sets that are going to have plenty of inverse color schemes to trade / get rid of.

The biggest problem with ideas like this is the lack of 6.25x space bars, which somewhat limits the target audience for a reseller.

The numbers you see are the numbers with our order included.
10% of the order numbers are from us.
We might increase our order soon but we'd like to wait out until the price finalizes $8 vs $9, spacebar options, etc.

Yep.  Supplementing with aftermarket White 6.25 space bars could be a pretty reasonable solution, given the match to the legends and the bright tones.  I plan on ordering a couple White & a few Black 6.25 units from WASD for my own sets.

[Exoverture]

About to submit an order, but what is the profile for these keycaps?

Like the SP doubleshots were? shorter? or like the Filco stock keys?

[Hyde]

They're closer to OEM profile (Filco Stock Keys).  But yeah it kinda sucks with the situation with the spacebar, otherwise would've been perfect 

Though like people said, WASD Keyboard will be the best choice for profile match and SP will best for colour match.

Think you can add 1x Green to my order thanks.

No worries! We didn't take any offense to your message.

[SmallFry]

Gogo RED!

[tgujay]

Gogo RED!

Go all of them, but Red has really made a dash recently.  I still want 2 sets of each.

Two sets of each sounds like the right way to go.  If I submit a new order, does that just over-write my earlier order, or is it tracked as a new order? 

[reverkiller]

I can't remember which non-black color I didn't get. Could you add that as a 4th set for me?

[elton5354]

It'll be a new order and I'll have to delete your previous order manually.  You can PM me the change or post here.

Or submit a new order and leave a comment that this is your new order

I can't remember which non-black color I didn't get. Could you add that as a 4th set for me?

It's red. I'll add that to your order.

[tgujay]

Why the hate for Blacks?  Haven't they suffered enough?

I'm sorry - I meant which non African American set I ordered.

[raspiguy]

@Elton -- Are the pics in the OP ones you took yourself?  And if not, did you ever get samples / your own sets of each of these? 

[elton5354]

They're pictures Tai Hao took for me.  They're sending me sample of each colour.  I don't think they're sending me a whole set..

[AcidFire]

This is fantastic, I was just digging around looking for DSA in blue. Also, unless it's already decided, count me in for the $1 extra for the extra keys please!

[genericsauce]

You know what add 1x red and 2x Black to my order, that should be 6 sets right?

[elton5354]

Not sure, but I'll add them to your order tomorrow. Going to wake up in 2.5 hours to go fishing all day. I'll update the orders when I get home on the computer. I can't use "find" on my google drive on mobile, so it's hard to search a name through 280ish people.

Oh here is the fishing gears I ordered and arrived earlier today

I'm expecting a nice fishing tale once you're back! Good luck!

[rowdy]

I hope this GB won't be the one that got away.

[heissler]

Is there any chance those caps are also available as blanks? I'd revise my order then and order both versions, and I'd even pay extra for the blanks

Wat.

[heissler]

I tried to express my excitement towards those keycaps as a blank version, e.g. not double shots, but in the same color, since it looks appealing to me, plus the price would allow me stock a lot of them without hurting my wallet like crazy.

We already have 5 varieties we have to reach 500 MOQ for, adding more variants is the last thing we need at this point.

[heissler]

This is why I was asking if there was any chance they might get produced in the first place.

[TD22057]

It would be interesting to see a plot of the number of orders for each color vs time to see if things are progressing or slowing down.  I'm still hopeful that black and blue are going to make it...

[BobThompkins]

Just put in an order for 1 red, 1 black, 1 green.
My first group buy, oh my!

[bazemk1979]

I sure hope so that even the colors that wont reach MOQ they will be willing to produce them at slight price increase, wonder if the x7 space bar has the same placement for stabs as the Cherry one, if that's the case I will build the Trix with center stemmed capslock and 1.5-1-1.5, this way I can take advantage of all the sets from this GB. That's why we need the extra 1.5 , 1  modifiers especially since they are only at $1 extra cost.... $1 more in this GB takes you long ways!!!

ORDER COUNTER: 1749 sets total
•Red - 456
•Blue - 409
•Green - 298
•Yellow - 301
•Black - 285

The lack of a 6.25x space bar probably kills the GB for a lot of people.

Can KeyPop comment on what they are going to do with the sets?  Sell for 7x space bar keyboard only?  Or source 6.25x space bars somewhere?  I understand if you don't want to answer this

What about asking SP (or WASD) for a GB on space bars to match?  Even if it adds another $1 to each set, it might attract enough extra people to make up the numbers.

either him or someone else is planning to do the space bar GB trough SP, WASD don't have the matching color.

But the SP space bar is a different profile?

So WASD = same profile but different colour, SP = same (similar?) colour but different profile.

[bazemk1979]

I would rather take color match over different height and sloap

[Hyde]

I'm guessing keypop will sell it as 37 key set (only alphas).  Unless someone will start a group buy on spacebar later.

Though I guess we can wait till Elton gets the same set to make the verdict. 


EDIT:  I meant sample set, somehow I typed "same" lol fail.

[elton5354]

What set am I getting? I'm only getting sample of each colour.

I hope they're sending me whole sets though haha...

[Topre]

Is there any chance of getting these keycaps with red/green/yellow printed on white? It would be much easier to match using a white spacebar. I'm sure a good amount of people will also order at least one color printed one white just for the spacebar itself.

[Hyde]

lol yeah my bad I meant sample set.  Also no there isn't other colour options I've asked them before. 

[elton5354]

You know what add 1x red and 2x Black to my order, that should be 6 sets right?

Yup, that's 6 sets after your order update.

[xpistalpetex]

nooo yellow is behind green, come on yellow!

[Jocelyn]

Sorry if I missed it, but is anyone in us by chance having tons of sets shipped to them? It's okay if not, because I can order through someone in particular, but I was still curious. Thanks

[rowdy]

nooo yellow is behind green, come on yellow!

Well done, that man!  Come on yellows!!1!!111

[nubbinator]

If there's anyone in the U.S. who wants to order some, but is scared off by shipping costs, I can add three or four to my order.  We can then split the shipping based on the number you order (assuming 7, it would be ~$2.50 per set, assuming 6, it would be $3 a set) and reshipping cost should be ~$2.50 (probably a little less) for one set in a bubble mailer or small box via USPS First Class. 

So, shipping cost should be $5-6 for a set and $7.50-8 for two.  If you're intested, shoot me off a PM and I'll add some to my order.  More established users and people with great heatware can do it on credit, but I'd prefer others to send me the money when invoicing takes place so I'm not paying for your caps out of pocket.

[Thechemist]

If only we could get someone in U.S. to distribute U.S. orders since most people are ordering more than 2 sets which should make shipping much cheaper.

If we can get some shipping estimate for larger orders, I'd consider doing reshipping to 50 or so people in the U.S.  I don't imagine it would get all that much cheaper than the rates I mentioned though.

Hi!

Can I use these in Ducky 2108 Zero?

[Photoelectric]

Hi!

Can I use these in Ducky 2108 Zero?

Yep.  All but the spacebar.

[elton5354]

We're almost there! Keep up the orders
