There are 2 choices for 7x spacebar and ISO enter

i remember for ISO enter we should be getting the one on the right hand side, have all the stems aligned in the mid point of the larger rectangle

for 7x spacebar, before i ask for a sample of it maybe i should ask if anyone have an idea of which we should get

Those little rectangle stems on the blue space bar look like they could interfere with the stabilizers...

Naive question perhaps: What are they for?

[LechnerDE]

I think those rectangle stems are for Alps boards, but I could be wrong.

[Hak Foo]

Yeah, I've only seen that type of plug used for ALPS style boards... maybe some manufacturer uses MX switches with ALPS stabilizers, which would be awesome, but unlikely..

Perhaps, more seriously, Tai Hao uses a modular set of moulds, where they can snap in ALPS or MX steps where appropriate...

[luckynet]

when does the invoicing begins??

[GhostofHarry]

awaiting taihao's reply about our order

[Lurch]

Nice looking set.

[sonic_the_hedgehog]

Great job Harry, really stoked about this!! 

Please reply in the thread when the OP has been updated with finalized prices - might grab an extra set or two since the add-on sets are now so cheap

You want the top spacebar since the bottom doesn't fit 7x cherry stems, this was the problem in the first Tai Hao GB.

The right side ISO enter with the centered stems is the one you want.

[kakakowie]

I got this set from taobao. Is it anything like this?

[minho]

To my understanding, it should be just like that except with:

1) better looking Windows and Menu key
2) Additional add-on pack if that was ordered

we will have new winkey(which should not be in the market now)
and add on pack (which is also not in the market now)

our price is cheaper too

other than that they should be the same

[combataran]

And this?

Probably not tho.

[LechnerDE]

That looks like the GMK Olivetti Set that was sold on the originative.

It has a lower profile than the TaiHao caps.

It has a lower profile than the TaiHao caps.

And thicker keycaps, and probably slightly smoother surface (the TaiHao caps i have right now are pretty rough), and [subjectively] much better legends. Also a much higher price.

Yea the taihao caps are miserably thin D:

Hm... I wouldn't go so far as to say miserably thin. The white on black TaiHao ones are noticeably thinner than the colored ones, but the red on white and white on red that I am currently using are decently thick, thicker than majority of stock keycaps. Especially considering the $22-25 dollar price, I miserable is a bit of an exaggeration

I agree. Besides, with ABS, I don't notice that much of a difference in feel between the slightly thicker ones than the Tai Hao ones anyway.

Sure, the thick PBT's on the Ducky G2 Pro are much nicer, but they're thick dyesub PBT's, and they're certainly not going to be picked up for $25 a set.

In terms of ABS caps I reckon the Tai Hao are quite reasonable

This.

[bmak6]

Hype, getting excited already!

[bazemk1979]

ok here is my question since I have been away from this thread for a while, so far that I could gather there is better looking win and page keys and that the GB is a go since, here are my questions cause I'm sort of lazy reading 10 ppages backwards in order to catch up whats going on, here are my questions:

1. Which sets made the GB?
2. Will there   win logo for the x1 keys or they will be blank like we had them before in the colorful GB of TaiHao
3. I already placed an order for 1 of each full sets and add ons, do I need anything to confirm again or just wait for the invoice?

Hoping all sets + add ons made into the GB, but I have a feeling that only Dolch made it, just my gut feeling lol

[Harrowed]

1. Which sets made the GB?

TaiHao agreed to lover the MOQ of addons to 100 and MOQ for base sets is 100 if they have those in stock (it is not known if they have). So we are hoping to get all three sets made because those MOQs have been met but still waiting TaiHao's response.

2. Will there   win logo for the x1 keys or they will be blank like we had them before in the colorful GB of TaiHao

I think the plan now is to go with Windows 7 logo shown in starting post.

3. I already placed an order for 1 of each full sets and add ons, do I need anything to confirm again or just wait for the invoice?

There's the order confirmation link in the starting order where you can check your current order. Nothing else needs to be done before we get more information.

[Latin00032]

Uhh...

I just looked at the order confirmation sheet.

Is anyone concerned with all that info being so obvious?

[absyrd]

Uhh...

I just looked at the order confirmation sheet.

Is anyone concerned with all that info being so obvious?

Yeah... all that probably shouldn't be so public.

[kle5635]

so when will invoice be sent to us?

[animaliaparadoxa]

Yeah, sorry but addresses need to be stored on a separate, private, spreadsheet. Only the users country at most should be public.

[GhostofHarry]

Yeah, sorry but addresses need to be stored on a separate, private, spreadsheet. Only the users country at most should be public.

broken google doc sharing...

i turned off the sharing of the form to have final review of the orders

but seem it still poped out in other's view

it should be fixed now


had just finished verifying and some of order has to renew their info
orders will be closed now and invoice will be sent soon

[jorgenslee]

I remove my info after seeing it in public. Since you close the form, how should we modify our order to put the info?

[GhostofHarry]

btw

taihao has replied me that they are going to accept ALL of our orders

price of add-on will be revised to $6 including the shipping cost from taiwan to me

i will ask taihao for the centered stem ISO enter and spacebar will be confirmed later as taihao will tell me which one would fit cherry 7x spacebar

invoice will be sent out soon via email

[MAR82]

taihao has replied me that they are going to accept ALL of our orders

The best news I've heard ALL day

[GhostofHarry]

taihao has replied me that they are going to accept ALL of our orders

The best news I've heard ALL day

that will be the case if all the add-on sets are over 100 (as the MOQ now is 100 and all of our add-on packs are over 100)

[Canis-X]

  FANSTANDING!!!!

Final Order Confirmation
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1UydoIJ3lIzLmZun3cgDIy6cPixTQD46Mky8OvrW1NGA/edit?usp=sharing

Please check your order information (and also the total sum needed to be paid) before I start sending out invoices.

The total sum is calculated this way:
ANSI = No. of ANSI ordered * $15
ANSI SHIPPING = $5 for the first ANSI, $3 each for the rest
ADDON = No. of Add-ons ordered * $6
ADDON SHIPPING = No. of Add-ons * 1.5
TRACKING = $3 if Yes, $0 if No
SUBTOTAL = ANSI + ANSI SHIPPING + ADDON + ADDON SHIPPING + TRACKING
TOTAL SUM WITH PAYPAL FEE ADDED = SUBTOTAL * 104.4% + $0.3

If your row has been highlighted GREEN,
I have changed your order information according to your PM.
As there are too many PMs, I might have missed some messages,
or have misunderstood some messages, or have forgotten to change your order.
Please PM me again if there's any problem.

If your row has been highlighted RED,
There's something missing or wrong in your order. This happens because one of the following reasons:
 1. your address is not detailed enough for international shipment (according to my local postoffice's standard).
     normally, it's because you didn't include your country.
 2. you have submitted an empty form (i.e. you have ordered nothing)
 3. your forum ID is wrong

Please PM me your amended personal information or amended order information.

I have deleted the rows of those who have dropped out. If you still find yourself in the list, please let me know too.

I will start sending out invoices soon and that will be another (and the last) chance for you guys to confirm the personal information.

Glad that finally we can proceed to the next stage of the buy!
Thx for everyone's support 

[Latin00032]

Yea. You gotta watch for the dropouts.

There is more likely to be more dropouts the longer a GB goes it seems.

[LechnerDE]

Great news!

Hit me with dat invoice!

[HoffmanMyster]

Yay!  Glad to see this hopefully wrapping up soon. 

[niklfc83]

Great news that's everyone is getting what they want. Thanks for sorting this out Harry

[bazemk1979]

thanks Harry my order is as is should be just waiting on invoice from you, hopefully you will run another GB for the rest of the colorful DS such as apple green, pink salmon, baby blue and purple one. We can find those elsewhere but those sets are not as complete as your GB, we pretty much have everything figured out and we just need to copy/paste ANSI and add on pack to the next color sets GB. Thanks for running this GB

[feizor]

Awesome, looking forward to the red scarf 77 GB starting
