I just pushed the Granite Bonus Pack. Did you miss that one key from the granite set (R1 or R2)? Fear not! It is probably in the bonus pack. You get both Text and Icon fragrances and a pack full of novelties.
This is the official GB page on PMK (http://www.pimpmykeyboard.com/deals/granite-bonus-pack/)
Please note that you have just one week to place your order. The kits are relatively inexpensive so it's a no brainer, if you need any of them, make up your mind quickly. This way you should receive your order not long after Round 2.
Kit 1 - Bonus Pack Text
(http://www.pimpmykeyboard.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/bonus-text.png)
Kit 2 - Bonus Pack Icon
(http://www.pimpmykeyboard.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/bonus-icon.png)
Kit 3 - Novelties
(http://www.pimpmykeyboard.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/bonus-novelty.png)
Kit 4 - Blue ISO Enter

must have that cherry logo key :eek:
-
Will have that grab that bonus pack tomorrow - yay
-
Why only seven days? We might hit some better tiers if it will run longer.

so you get it together with Round 2.
If we really don't smash the tiers I'll see if we can postpone the deadline.

Est. Shipping $19.50
This ^
First time with SP.
Is it always like this ? :(
-
Can we get MD to send out a notification to participants of R2 so they don't miss it? I can't imagine how many people are going to come in a week later and complain they didn't know it was going on
-
I got the text pack and the novelties ordered. Hopefully I can stop buying kits and be happy with the way my daily driver is for once. ;D

Shipping costs to Europe double when I add the novelties to the mod pack. So it's nearly 10$ per set. Bit too much If you ask me.

Guess I'll just pick one between these two (mod pack or novelties).
10$ per set is way too much.

It will stay 20$ if you add more sets. But for two sets it sucks. I'll pass on the novelties this way.

Website took forever but order placed. Thanks again for this, Matt. Good stuff.
-
how is the shipping going to work for this?
we'll get our R2 shipped from MD and this shipped from SP?

I will definitely buy one.
Just as soon as the site lets me. :rolleyes:
-
ok, at this point let's hit 50 tier for both bonus packs :P
-
Why am i getting charged shipping charges? Shouldn't this be free shipping if we are purchasing a bunch of sets from Massdrop already?

The main kits ship through MassDrop and the Bonus kits ship from SP.
-
So we would have to pay shipping either ways?

There is literally no way they could ship as one order.

I forgot that the original set will ship to MD then to us and not directly from SP

Wow, I was expecting this to be tipped already.q

It has tipped days ago.

What?
The numbers I'm seeing on PMK's site are 6 of the text, and 7 of the icon kits purchased...
-
Showing 45 for the text pack and 37 for the icon pack. Pretty damn close for the text. Hoping some more people grab the icons. :(

Wow, what the hell?
Why is the site out of date for me lol
-
Their site's always been wonky for me. I had a hell of a time registering the first time around and then it took me three tries across two computers to actually even order the Granite packs. I'm not surprised it's acting up for you.

I had to register an entirely new account in order to grab the bonus packs.
It was silly.

the kit tipped the first day I believe

I've noticed that the site tends to be out of date for me too until I force a full reload of the page (ctrl+shift+r on my linux firefox)

I hope so too! I'll order one for sure, but it would be more convenient for me if it reached next tier before I order!

I should jump on that bonus pack. Funds are tight thought.
Must resist

I just saw this in Signature Plastics section and sure enough bought 4 of everything here. Matt you sneaky devil, putting this up here and keeping so quiet about it.
Just 2 more days to go as well, if you love DSA's in PBT's then what's stopping everyone from getting these ?
-
Yes! We hit the 50 tier!
sorry if this GB was a little sneaky...
... but I'm trying to make a little surprise to all those who participated.
-
50 tier, yay.
And...suuurrrrpppiissseeee??? :eek:
-
Awesome.
So glad the icon kit hit 50.
Matt3o, do you realize that you've created the perfect DSA set?

Wait a minute! Elrick ordered SP dyesub caps? What the hell! Does a grumpy old man not stand to his word anymore?!
When I saw the photo it looked like it was some body's lame attempt at making key-caps in their back-yard but Yikes it's a Company's Attempt at doing very bad PBT dye-sub.
Even the cheapest CHINESE attempt at making a complete Key-set is FAR SUPERIOR to SP's. What the HELL?
Another thing too, we also happened to have paid far more for these than any Chinese Made Sets. I'm still waiting for my Imsto's BSP version and I suspect theirs will be far better in quality than what's currently distributed here. Who would of thought that the Chinese now would make better quality PBT sets than the US of A.
Everyone is tip-toeing around too scared to say what every one is clearly seeing with their own eye's, like the hell I will be forced to play around with a fvcking HEAT-GUN to fix SP's mistakes.
As you can guess I'm no SP Fan-boy here when it comes to basic quality with key-caps, WHICH THEY HAVE FAILED in this attempt at making a PBT set. Imagine (me) sinking over $396.00USD + Shipping for CRAP looking key-caps such as these. Boy, got sucked in like a noob here.
Don't give a crap about any fan-boys opinion here, just had to type what I see here, especially losing so much money over these horrible quality key-caps that have ever come out of their factory thus far......... Word of advice for SP just stick to ABS leave PBT alone, for the sake of future land fill sites please.
just kidding :p :p :p
-
Wait a minute! Elrick ordered SP dyesub caps? What the hell! Does a grumpy old man not stand to his word anymore?!
Matt3o said they FIXED their earlier problems relating to distortions when it came to PBT manufacturing. Hence I take him at his word - he's never lied to me before and I take his word as gospel when it comes to anything related to SP.
Hence why not give them a second chance to deliver fixed PBT key-sets because then we can see if Round 2 could be truly spectacular, with no distortions whatsoever 8) .
Being old means you can re-adjust your preferences due to time running out quickly, hence we don't have the luxury of waiting unlike you youngsters.

Hehe, of course it's perfectly reasonable to change your mind about things.
I always enjoy reading your passionate posts with thorough explanations, hence I had to tease you :p
-
Ok, I think we have to hit 75 Tier now. Taht should be realistic for both text and icon with 2 days left.
-
Last day guys.
Act NAAO!
-
Mmm.
Dem numbers are tasty...
-
remember to grab the novelties... just saying...
-

I wasn't gonna, but I figured why the hell not?
Besides, that Cherry cap was nigh irresistible.
-
Don't forget that there's some kind of error with the shipping costs duplicating when you add a second set. Melissa confirmed this will be refunded, so there's no reason to not grab the novelties.
-

Everyone needs to grab at least 4 of them without haste because once this finishes then that's it. There won't be a Round 2 of these, will it Matt?

Definitely thinking about grabbing some more novelty packs...

Looks like both modkits will end up in 100 tier. Not bad. I think the formula of the outcome of Matt3o's GBs is something like:
Matt3o's expectations x 4 = kits sold
-
with round 2 it was more matt3o's expectations x 10...

Man, I can't believe I'm gonna have both Sun Microsystems keys AND a 1.75u icon Escape key...
There's a 99% chance I'll never willingly use another keyset again.

Ahhh I bit the bullet and picked up an Icon Bonus Pack since it's only $16 ...

Last few minutes to grab the bonus pack!

It's true, though.
No other set hits all my buttons.
-
I know the trading thread hasn't been made yet, but I figured I would still throw this out there.
I'v been on a crazy road trip from Missouri to California and haven't been online much in that time. Somehow I thought the buy was going later into this week and managed to miss it - yeah I know, I should have got in before I left... Anyways, if anyone bought the text kit for something else and doesn't want the text arrows or the hyper+meta I would be glad to pay/trade for them. It always sucks to miss out on a buy :P

You're on GEEKHACK home of ever more NEW key-sets being designed, developed and made for hard-core addicts such as us. I still refuse to mention anything about "FINAL" purchases of key-sets.
It's like saying you shall never buy another pair of shorts, or shoes, or cars, or boats, or even motorcycles.........it's just not real world expectations anymore deciding to drop out of buying anymore key-sets.
-
Elrick knows what's up!
You will always be on the hunt for the next keyset :p
-
I missed it, but I had been waiting for Hyper key.
I hope to start Round 2!

Bonus pack round 2?
The Granite round 2 has already happened...
-
Pretty sure Matt3o already said no R2 for this bonus pack.
-
The Granite round 2 has already happened...
That really pissed me off, was hoping that we'll have a normal PMK run Granite R2 but missed it. Hence missed out on it altogether, that's how it is when you don't live here on GH 24/7.

With this success (I believe it was) on Massdrop, We will see another round of Granite group buy on Massdrop within a few months. Unless Matteo will be against. But hey there might be some completely different keycap set and no-one will even remember Granite set.. :)

we are working on skull squadron round 2 (in double-shot DCS because DSA was limited edition)

I didn't hear about round 1 until I started seeing everyone posting their pictures when it shipped. I was pretty mad that I missed it even though I had been on geekhack at that time, but I'm glad I followed every closely and got a chance to get my own set with round 2.

I'm surprised you didn't hear about round 1, considering how hard we were plugging it via signatures and whatnot.

I'm not really sure either, lol. I'v never done a PMK buy before and I don't stalk the SP sub forum - so that probably has a lot to do with it.

Anyone have any idea when the bonus packs will be shipped? I know they're still working on the R2 MD stuff but it'd be at least nice to have some idea.
-
last time they told me "as soon as Granite R2 is fully delivered"
-
Does anyone want to trade their 1u and 1.5u caps from the icon set?
-
Oh god why did I not see this :'(
-
Just got my shipping notice.
-
Just got my shipping notice.
I haven't even gotten the first part of the granite buy and you already have your shipping notice for the bonus pack. :( I hate you, Ray.

-
I just got the shipping notice a few minutes ago. Awesome.
-
Just got both - Granite R2 + Bonus Pack - shipping notices within 15 minutes.
:-*
-
Got my shipping notice... to the wrong address. :(
-
Why did i miss that completely?
There is a blue ISO Enter... Arrrrgh
And the yellow SUPER caps.
Nevermind, i DID order these kits ;D
Got a shipping notice too, but forgot about the bonus kit... Too many group buys to get lost.
