Very happy with how these turned out as well.

Cheers to hazeluff for the great imagining work! What a pro for factoring in SP's limitations.

Hrm, they really cropped that "skinny" edge Melissa mentioned by quite a bit. I thought she said it would simply have to be cut thicker? That along with the overall drop in thickness really changes the overall shape of the original legend...

I dunno. I hate being the naysayer, but that's a pretty dramatic difference. If it's too late to get it tweaked, then I just hope the colors make it pop :P.

I Designed it slightly thinner to compensate for the drillbit's thickness, which has been making some legends thicker. But I think the thickness might just be angle/perspective. But the tip is obviously missing/shorter.

Imo looks good still.

So they are done..........

Kind of....

Well you see SP likes to make mistakes so I arrived home from my vacation and got these instead

But wait! You might think they are correct, until you see this!

So now I am waiting on SP to redo them, and no we do not get to keep these for free, SP is willing to sell them at a discount price but i need to fork the money up front so dunno about doing that, I might offer this in a GB for like 2 days with instant payment and those will only be the ones we're keeping. Something along those lines, please please please do not buy like 200 and go and sell them for $8 a piece I don't really want to see that.

It's the wrong row, it's ment to replace the ?/ key which is Row 4 and instead they made it to replace the Esc/Function/Numeric row which is Row 1

Just shipping is a problem…

tsangan · « **Reply #425 on:** Tue, 27 March 2012, 14:47:57 »

That's why when i placed the order I stated I wanted them in the ZXCVB row profile

Reptile · « **Reply #426 on:** Tue, 27 March 2012, 14:50:08 »

So what happens?

As long as tsangan's order was correct they take the loss?

thegunner100 · « **Reply #427 on:** Tue, 27 March 2012, 14:50:35 »

Uh oh... another example for Ripster's GLWIC?

Well atleast they look decent on the function row, now we'll just wait and see the price for these keys.

ekw808 · « **Reply #428 on:** Tue, 27 March 2012, 14:52:27 »

For those aware of profile meaning; the tilt on the keycaps are different and the top of the keycaps are slanted more/less depending on its profile.

Playtrumpet · « **Reply #429 on:** Tue, 27 March 2012, 14:54:03 »

LOLZ. Forgot these were for Row 4. Certainly a mistake on their part since they clearly show row numbers starting from the top on their website. I guess it's not the worst mistake they could've made since there will be people buying ESC row question marks anyway but wow. They ought to melt them down and start over..

Those still look really nice even up there in row1. that really shows how nice a green-on-black or black-on-green full keyset would look.....

The keycap profile. It is supposed to be the ZXCV row so it can replace /? key, but they made it for ESC row.

No time frame but replacements usually are super fast, they are ahead of schedule anyways so can't fault them there

Their QC might be sub-par but customer service from Melissa is top notch

Indeed. She had the replacement shifts from my group buy on my doorstep in just over a week.

jellowiggler · « **Reply #440 on:** Tue, 27 March 2012, 19:53:54 »

In SP talk the esc row is neither 4 or 1. It is row 5 in the DCS family! It always throws me for a loop.

mickd · « **Reply #441 on:** Tue, 27 March 2012, 19:57:20 »

More keycaps at a discounted price? THIS IS A BLESSING!

i3oilermaker · « **Reply #442 on:** Tue, 27 March 2012, 23:28:34 »

My 2 cents - I think you should offer the discounted top row riddlers with a cap at 10 per person and then those who ordered original riddlers can have them shipped all at once (unless they want to pay extra shipping)

Of course I would defer tsangan who clearly knows what he is doing.

I'd actually prefer the esc-row keycaps, as it's only one row off in Dvorak, and it has been noted that the esc row for SP in similar to the QWERTY row, so it actually rather fits.

I'd buy some of the esc-row keycaps, especially at a discount.

Wildcard · « **Reply #444 on:** Tue, 27 March 2012, 23:54:56 »

I say this might be a happy blessing. I actually might like to use a bunch of these for the esc row. Tsangan any idea when you might be doing these as a quick GB for the error caps or can we buy them from sig plastics directly?

Gawkbasher · « **Reply #447 on:** Wed, 28 March 2012, 11:54:22 »

Yeah if the discount is decent enough and they can be shipped together, I'm totally in for 10 of each...and I don't even have a keyboard that can use them.

But there's SO MANY keys that ultimately it'd be hard to say if it's worth buying em from SP.

tsangan · « **Reply #448 on:** Wed, 28 March 2012, 12:10:32 »

Sorry for the lack of reply! Been quite busy after my vacation!

Alright so heres the deal, it will be a HUGEEEE pain for me to start an order thread and take money from each and one of you within 1-2 days as SP either wants money or the keycaps, so instead I will purchase a set amount I don't think buying all 5xx is a smart idea so I was thinking of buying 200~ and selling it.

I hope everyone understands why I can't just start an order thread and take money separately, GB are quite tedious to say the least and there's 2 other GB I promised to handled that's coming up so with those and my work, I am not left with a lot of spare time

If someone has a better idea please post

captain · « **Reply #449 on:** Wed, 28 March 2012, 12:16:20 »

Do we get the option of discount buying as many of the error keys as we originally ordered? e.g.: if I ordered 5 ?, then I have an option for 5 errors. That seems like a fair way to divvy them up.
