iMav · « **on:** Wed, 02 February 2011, 19:02:42 »

For the next group buy, we will do a blue key with white lettering. These will be Cherry MX only. I have plenty of orange on black Alps keys left, if you want some of them.

USA - First key $7 shipped, additional keys +$4 each.
Non-USA - First key $11 shipped, additional keys +$4 each.

Pre-pay just like the last batch. Send money via paypal (as a gift if at all possible) to herzog [at] uhhh [dot] org . Please include number of keys, your mailing address, and your geekhack alias/username.

are we still doing the "Geek Hack" GH key?

I was hoping for some other letters or figures on the key, any possibilities?

Sorry, I'll leave it to other GHers to organize such group buys. I'll do a monthly GH key order for as long as there is demand...switching up color schemes for variety.

bakageta · « **Reply #5 on:** Wed, 02 February 2011, 22:06:43 »

Yay for my suggested color scheme! In for 2, I need to just set up a monthly recurring payment to you or something...

db_Iodine · « **Reply #7 on:** Thu, 03 February 2011, 07:44:23 »

Just sent the money for 2 blue Cherry MX, and one black ALPS key. Thanks for doing this!

ironman31 · « **Reply #8 on:** Thu, 03 February 2011, 15:34:04 »

I'm still kicking myself for missing last month's buy. Didn't realize it was a different color. I think I'll skip this months, but how about white lettering on orange for next month?

jfaulken · « **Reply #19 on:** Sat, 05 February 2011, 23:25:09 »

Paypal sent, thanks for being awesome!

+1 for white-on-orange next.

Hak Foo · « **Reply #20 on:** Sun, 06 February 2011, 14:12:14 »

While you can't dye white, what stops them from, say, dying an inverse pattern - dye a design that's the entire cap minus the desired white areas? It might be clumsy, but I could see it at least doing "top is black with white text, sides are white" - painting the sides black is trivial

Got shipping notification from SP today. Should be able to start sending these out towards the end of the week.

Just counted up the payments and we are SOLD OUT!

Everyone that paid to date is covered...barely.

iMav · « **Reply #27 on:** Thu, 10 February 2011, 06:49:28 »

White lettering on orange keys sounds like a good option for next month. Anyone have s strong opinion about a different color scheme?

bakageta · « **Reply #28 on:** Thu, 10 February 2011, 07:21:13 »

Wow, those went fast. White on orange sounds good to me for the next order. After that I'd love to see something light-ish on white, like a lilac to match the popular WASD keys. I need something that won't look out of place on my white ML-87.

db_Iodine · « **Reply #29 on:** Thu, 10 February 2011, 07:24:24 »

I would actually like to see an opposite color scheme of the first geekhack keys that were white lettering on red keys. So I'd like red lettering on white keys. This could be done in the later group buys though, since I think the orange key sounds like a good one too.

Twitchy · « **Reply #30 on:** Thu, 10 February 2011, 09:32:43 »

Stealth geekhack keys please? White text on black.

Kacee · « **Reply #31 on:** Fri, 11 February 2011, 09:32:20 »

how long will this group buy last? I want to ask my friends if they want some.

cgoldberg · « **Reply #32 on:** Fri, 11 February 2011, 09:35:48 »

Ugh I just read this thread and find out they're sold out

I def want in on next month for the white on orange though.

Now that I think about it, I may go with a light key color with darker letting for March.

I know I replied in PM already, but posting here just in case anyone else was curious. You can order them, but shipping will make it fairly expensive unless you're already making a taobao order. You can see my order threads here and here.

Hot pink on white, pardon my horrendous PS skill:

bakageta · « **Reply #49 on:** Thu, 17 February 2011, 21:57:02 »

SP doesn't have a decent pink they can use for doubleshots, sadly...

I believe they only have one pink, and it's kind of a dingy pastel.

The last was Black with Orange legends as of "HACK.ORG" from your Sig, how about Orange with Black legends as of the left side the same Sig "GEEK" ?

It may be a better match for my Mini :biggrin:

The previous "Red GEEKHACK" key was just a little too red in place of my "Tilde"

You can tell a lot about someone by their keyboard.

1. Doesn't like Redmond
2. Spends a lot of time on 4Chan (although I wouldn't wear out my F5 ClickClack art).
3. Makes Way For Ducklings in the Boston Public Garden

wow.
1 and 3 are spot on!

but no 4Chan. however the f5 does take a lot of abuse (its the run/compile key in my editor)

Well, if you two don't have your hearts set on white text on a blue key, there's bound to be another color combination in a couple of days, for March. I think we're looking at black text on an orange key, or unknown on a white key.
