I wonder if this shipping method.
International Mail? or International Small Package? (International Parcel?)

What happens is roughly the size and weight?

Thank you all for ordering the spacebars! Every little bit helps  :-*

This will be shipped using Malaysia's International Post.

I have not gotten the dimensions of the box yet, but it depends on order quantity.

How badly do you still need people to order more space bars? 

I am planning on getting a few but if you're still in dire need of selling more I can order a couple extras that I don't really need.  I'm sure I could find something to do with them.

Edit: Okay I am in and with 9 packs of space bars.  :thumb:

How do I enter this GB for a spacebar? Also, which base colour spacebar comes with the GMK Beige set? I've got the set but I'm a tad colourblind.

This is my KB for reference, and I need to replace that exact spacebar

What is your case? You should get the third spacebar shown in the image on the first post. I think the order page calls them white, but as far as I know it is not white but the light beige colour that the rest of the alphanumeric keys are.

Appreciated, so to confirm that would be the L9? Case is the top right one in this GB

Great, thanks! Looks to be L9.

EDIT OK that still doesn't help. In the order form lists beige or white, without stipulating which of the two is L9.
This form needs to be consistent with either using colour codes or colour names for ALL choices.

I'm assuming L9 = beige?

When you select a different colour, a different spacebar is highlighted. It's not very obviously because when the "white" one is greyed out, it appears to be more white, but when selected it is L9. An additional confusion is the fact that the list for spacebar colours is reversed when compared to the render. I am pretty sure it's white though, as there are only two colours that it could be and since they are "white" and "beige", I doubt very much that the lighter colour would be called beige and the darker colour be called white.

Since there are only two of the colours to work out, I'm pretty sure that white is L9. There would be no reason to call the lighter one "beige" and then the darker one "white". When you select the colours from the dropdown, it highlights it on the image, which is confusing because the L9 one looks more white when greyed out, as well as the dropdown being reversed when compared to the render.

To clarify, I'm almost certain white is L9, which is the colour you're after.

Could always just buy one of each to make sure I guess.

I need the same color space bars (L9).
Since there are only 4 colored spacebars offered I assumed it was the ones being called "white" since L9 is the closest color to white out of 4.

That's for clarifying. I do see that your selection is highlighted however when picking white, it doesn't appear to change/highlight anything which confirms it for me. White - ordered!

Coupons are for orders over $100, meaning full sets only, does that mean that orders for small kits, like spacebars and leds, should be paid in full upfront? It is not that bad really, just asking.

sorry that i didn't reply earlier! :(
if you need extra orders, just re-order from the site.
if there's additional shipping charge (assuming if you have made at least an order before this), we'll refund this extra shipping charge to you as we work on the site's ordering system, BUT please make a remark on your order so it's easier to keep track of all your orders :)

Sure!

The GMK Classic GB uses R5 for some of the extra modifier keys, which messes up the layout I want to use on the bottom row: 1.25,1.25,6.25,1.5,1.5,1,1.  The keys to the right of the sidebar would be R5 and the left including spacebar R4.  They did this for classic Cherry boards.  I don't have one, don't want a bottom R5, and don't care or need Cherry themed caps.

This GB doesn't mess with R5 and has interesting color options, plus even more additional keys.  The only thing I'll miss is the Win 95 logo, even if it was pad printed.  :cool:

I am also planning on getting a ZZ96 and beige set. Could you educate me how this fits better? I'm a noob

Sure!

The GMK Classic GB uses R5 for some of the extra modifier keys, which messes up the layout I want to use on the bottom row: 1.25,1.25,6.25,1.5,1.5,1,1.  The keys to the right of the sidebar would be R5 and the left including spacebar R4.  They did this for classic Cherry boards.  I don't have one, don't want a bottom R5, and don't care or need Cherry themed caps.

This GB doesn't mess with R5 and has interesting color options, plus even more additional keys.  The only thing I'll miss is the Win 95 logo, even if it was pad printed.  :cool:

Which Win98 key size do you need?

Yeah, I really want those Win95 keys.  :(

I really wanted the symbol mods in Classic Retro, but this is a much better set, so joined it instead!  Maybe I can find someone to trade with when both have shipped.  I have Caps remapped to Ctrl, so I won't have to use the handbag!

Just as a way to balance the opinions, you guys should consider that for modern keyboards that have R4 only bottom row, the approach of 9009 makes sense; however, the Classic Retro, as its name is, offer both R4 1.25u mods and R5 1.5u mods, being a classic set it should have an R5 bottom row. The problem is if you want to mix them, then this 9009 may fit your needs better, but I would not say that one is better than the other, or that Classic Retro mess with something. Just my two cents.

Ugh I am such an idiot I wish I knew what I was doing. I am getting the ZZ96 (hopefully, I am in the second run) and find the retro set to be a bit more aesthetically pleasing, but I never even considered this R4 R5 bottom row business. Thanks for the heads up.
The dream would be: Classic beige with the retro mod legends, Win 95/98 win keys, 9009 colour accents and row profile. Alas, I can't have it all.
