I'll see what I can dois it possible to order extras blank? 2.75u for exampleUnfortunately no
aaaaawww... you sure? just separate order of specific keys or add two 2.75 to the modifier set? I want one but I need the long shift twice... :/

We put up some great numbers today!Looks good, hopefully the alps sets will reach MOQShow Image(https://i.imgur.com/UWGD024.jpg)
Cool, I think the 2.75 blank would be very helpful for those of us that have a split space bar like the VE.A keyboard
I've got an idea, to add a couple keys if everything reaches moq. I'm still thinking about it, but I may make an announcement laterCool, I think the 2.75 blank would be very helpful for those of us that have a split space bar like the VE.A keyboard
Correct... and it sucks that I would have to settle for 2 orders with each saying "SHIFT" on it... ;)
I am in for everything!Woot!

Glad to see that alps # reaching almost 50% moq!
We had our meet up in Nashville, and I was commenting that night that there are not a lot of choices in terms of ABS doubleshot DSA sets, then lo and behold, evangs comes through with this awesome gem. Thanks for doing this!:D glad I can fill the gap
How are the numbers today?

I will post an update tonight
:D I know right XDHow are the numbers today?

It feels odd being on this side of a Group Buy...hehe.
Alps climbing steadily, as expected there will most definitely be no issue hitting the 100 MOQ. :DYeah getting a few alps orders each day. It will definitely be fine. And I'll purchase any remaining units should one of the child kits not make it

Are the stabilizer mounts on SP's DSA Alps the same (position and insert type) as their DCS Alps keys?

the stab mounts are mx in the standard position.

please can you post the numbers for today ? especially if alps reach moq ?
Yay! I remembered this in time! I got one of everything, except for numpads, as I dont like those. ;)You are welcome! Thanks for your support :)
This is probably the only international alps GB for a while, thank you for organizing this with us ISO retards in heart :-*
Alps is getting produced!
Thank you!!Alps is getting produced!
yeah, great to hear.
Order #1431, full alps/matias
Is the GB over tonight or tomorrow night?That is correct. You would have to use the caps keycap. Orders will close tomorrow night
Also the webpage for the "Extras" pack states "Various layout support (1800, ergo dox, MiniVan, JD40, JD45, minorca, sebright, Tada68, HHKB, etc)"
Specifically for the HHKB I see a small shift but no Control key where the left capslock is. Is that right?
Hi, this will be my first keycap GB (building an Ergodox.) Can you let me know which sets I need to order to have my ergo covered? I'm thinking I'll need the base and the compatibility? Thanks in advance! Love this set.
yes base plus compat... you might need the numpad as well. be sure to count the number of 2 unit keys you need. I originally had the set as one large set and I don't remember if there are enough 2u keys across base + compat.

I realize this is a little late to be bringing this up but, I just read thru the entire IC and GB threads, and it was never really specified *how* the stabs are going to work on Alps. Did SP find a way to do rectangular-mount Alps stabs on DSA keys? Last I heard the stab mounts were always cherry style cruciform.

The stab inserts on the V60MTS are alps-style and not cherry-style cruciforms. SP's Alps mount keycaps also have the stab mounts closer to the center compared to the stock keycaps on the V60MTS. All the wires work fine except the right shift. I had to bend my wire haphazardly until it worked.

Correction: the stab inserts are Alps-style except the spacebar, which is MX-style.

This is going to suck some big ass if I can't get these on my V60. Not only does it only match up with 1 mounting hole on most standard 60% cases, but now I'm discovering that I just spend $100 on keycaps I can't use? Dear lord, say it isn't so.

How can a bent stabilizer wire ever feel right? Does it feel all janky?
I also use the left shift almost exclusively, so this isn't an issue for me.
P.S. Anyone know how to go about making a stabilizer wire? What gauge the wires are and such?
All the wires work fine except the right shift. I had to bend my wire haphazardly until it worked.
Just put the 1U Shift key there. Problem solved. :))
Plan A: bend a paperclip
Plan B: buy it ready made from Matias (the set includes the plastic inserts you need for the other keys, so this should probably be option A for folks that don't already have those)
Plan C: buy the right gauge of wire and a wire-bender tool and make it yourself, but properly. The wire gauge is common knowledge but I always forget it. I remember that it can be found in the wiki at r/mk tho.
I also use the left shift almost exclusively, so this isn't an issue for me.
Same here.
As such, I would probably just elect to remove the stabilizer wire all together. If I ever felt the temptation to use the right shift key, I would just do my best to aim for its center with my pinky.

Aha! Didn't realize they sold them. Is this what I would need: https://matias.store/products/stabilizer-and-hook-set (https://matias.store/products/stabilizer-and-hook-set) I guess$10$15 isn't a deal-breaker by any means.
P.S. Shipping was $5 for 5-8 day shipping. WTH? $5 for a padded envelope going standard mail?
That will get the wire. I cannot confirm whether or not it works as I just bent my existing wire. You will still need to get MX-style cruciform stab inserts though since that's what SP's Alps mount caps use. WASDkeyboards sells them: http://www.wasdkeyboards.com/index.php/products/keyboard-parts/cherry-mx-keycap-stabilizer-insert-2pcs.html (http://www.wasdkeyboards.com/index.php/products/keyboard-parts/cherry-mx-keycap-stabilizer-insert-2pcs.html)
I don't see how buying a stabilizer wire from Matias helps here.The problem here is that the stock 2.75u stabilizer wire of the KBP V60 mini is the wrong width to fit the post spacing of SP keycaps, right? The stab wire in the KBP is already a Matias wire (after all, the KBP has Matias switches in it). How does buying another one help?

I see what you're saying, unless the KBP has some proprietary wire (surely not the case), I don't know that this is going to help. Maybe we'll be able to mod an MX wire on it somehow? I guess we won't know until we get the caps and get to the dirty work.
I went ahead and bought the pack so that I could have a wire and inserts in case I needed them. I don't have any extra on hand. I guess worst case scenario is that I can bend up the extra one as my practice wire and perfect it on the second attempt.
Gentlemen, choose your weapons: paperclips & pliers, or music wire & a Du-Bro.
You'll need 8 cherry stab inserts since the spacebar on the V60MTS already uses cherry inserts. For the wire, it's not really a width issue, strictly speaking. The issue is that the wire isn't long enough such that the ends that are bent towards the switch don't extend far enough inward to hold the stab inserts.

The issue is that the wire isn't long enough such that the ends that are bent towards the switch don't extend far enough inward to hold the stab inserts.
So for the remaining stabilizer wires, not including the 2.75, they will fit fine with the cherry mx insert keys? I thought that since the alps stab wires are decently bigger than the mx ones, and the alps insert is a bit more forward than where the cherry mx inserts are located on the keycpas you would have to mcguyver something with all the wires in order to get compatibility.
I don't have a KBP60 nor a mx insert key (save my spacebar but I don't have a full length spacebar on my keyboard so I can't test), since mine is a custom which is why I'm asking.

Yes, they all fit fine. On my V60MTS, which this response was typed with, I used all the stock wires with the Cherry inserts from WASD without any issue, barring the 2.75u right shift, of course. The Cherry inserts may have a loose fit in the keycap stab mounts, but that's an easy fix with some Scotch tape or Saran wrap.
There is a special bonus that I will just leave as a surprise for when people start receiving their sets :D
I'm new to keycap sets and DIY-kits. Using mechanicals kb since 30 years, but just fully build factory stuff.
All this stabilizer talk is confusing for me.
I ordered the Alps version of LightCycle.
Just did an ergodox build.
Please see my attachments, will match LightCycle the stabilizer-kit from the latest massdrop ergodox infinity ?

Regarding bending stabilizer wires for the V60. I still haven't received my SP Alpine Winter set, so I don't yet have any first-hand experience with this. But I did come across some very relevant discussions which I have not seen mentioned here.
Badwrench held the first community GB for SP Alps. He had a few things to say about adjusting stabilizer wires for the V60, including the ANSI right shift:
https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=70817.msg1917032#msg1917032
When Alpine Winter came out, jbondeson also wrote a tutorial for bending stabilizers for the V60:
https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=75515.msg2044488#msg2044488
For the ANSI right shift, Badwrench reuses the existing stabilizer by turning into a trapezoid shape. But jbondeson does not consider that possibility, and suggests starting with a longer stabilizer wire.

So sorry to hear this Evan! It's clear you put a lot of work into this set and no doubt tried every way possible to pull it off without selling organs.
Hope to see it back sometime down the road.
Evan... I'm so sorry. It's a shame for us buyers that it turned out this way but I'm sure for you, as the creator, it is much more painful - I know I speak for many when I say I understand the decision and that you'll have my full support if you get this back on its feet some time in the future, it's a lovely, lovely set and you deserve to see it succeed. I ordered a blue WhiteFox case and a tron wrist rest to go with it after all, I'm not giving up that easy! :blank:Thanks for understanding. I feel really bad to have left you guys down
Glad I ordered a set with your Van kit, would be way sadder if I'd not - guess Granite will have to do as my "full sized" set for a little while longer!

Have you considered just running this through PMK's website?
I fear that small scale group buys are slowly becoming a thing of the past due to pricing. SP's prices will only continue to climb over time, and eventually the only viable way to get a set made will be to get MassDrop levels of participation.
Now I've got to either find some other way to get a decent DSA set made with Alps stems, or sell my brand new KBP V60 mini on eBay.
So while we wait for LightCycle to rise from the grave, who's up for Dolch DSA with Alps stems in the mean time? I already have a quote from SP for kits identical to the current MX-based set. We could run it through PMK's site along side the existing (MX) set.
At least you had the decency to refund everyone, and write an official post about it.It will reboot eventually
Truly a shame - I even planned a new build because of this keyset. Hope it gets rebooted in the future.
My RS68 and cyan half-shell will be waiting :)At least you had the decency to refund everyone, and write an official post about it.It will reboot eventually

refunds are complete. Once again I apologize for any inconvenience. I am working hard to bring you guys some awesome things. It is unfortunate that this had to end this way, but I won't let it keep me from moving forward.100% support from the community dude <3
Got a full refund, thanks for the quick processing. Hope this doesn't stop you!I am sad with how this turned out but if anything it will only refine my focus and push me harder
This is nuts, did the GB price change for the base and jumped kits?

Just wanna say, I never joined this group buy because it was just not 100% my style, but I will be paying attention to anything you do in the future, vans, cause the way you handled this and handled the refunds was just classy and professional. Sorry it didn't work out, but from how I see, you didn't let anyone down, just took a risk and, when it didn't pan out, you protected everyone else in the community. Kudos.
What's this? A group buy that was unfulfilled for honorable reasons? Funds immediately returned to buyers? The only "victim" is the organizer's own aspiration to have his keyset made. You're a trailblazer. That's a pretty strong show of character. People are going to remember this. I'm really sorry to see this GB not succeed. While Dolch is not my thing and I was reluctant to spend $150 on a profile I never experienced, I almost joined this GB a couple times. I keep coming back to this thread to look at this set and to see its progress. I was really looking forward to seeing the real thing on keyboards. I'm still looking forward to seeing LightCycle on people's keyboards. Maybe next time, my keyboard will be one of them. It's just going to be a longer wait than anticipated.This month I've had a seller send me an acrylic case in an envelope, and refused to refund me when it arrived in pieces. A 'prestigious' keyboard company send me a defective product and try to pull a slick one and only refund the item's price and not refund my initial shipping cost. And I'm involved in a GB that's supposed to ship tomorrow, but the seller has been silent since Sept. 29th.

I'm not a fan of DSA so I was also on the fence about Light Cycle. In the end I decided not to join the GB. After seeing how evangs has handled this, the next time it runs count me in for a minimum of 1 set.
Any idea of the outlook for a full set Evan? Are we talking years, months, weeks?Next year. I've got some ideas to make it even better

Put my KBP v60 with Matias switches in a Royal Glam today. You know what this looks like? Dump. It looks terrible. But you know what would make it right? Light Cycle DSA alps, baby.
This will sit unused until it can have its rightfull caps installed.
