PRESENTING THE "HACK'D BY GEEKS" KEYSET
Price: $120
ORDER HERE (https://ctrlalt.io/buys/hack-d-by-geeks)
$13 CONUS shipping
$20 International
A full countour SA profile keycap set in double shot ABS from Signature Plastics.
Centered ORANGE (OAS) legends on GREY (GE) and VERY DARK GREY (GX) base, similar to Skidata legends on the Dolch colorway.
Row profiles will be (from top down) 3-1-2-3-4-3, as popularized by the recent PuLSE and Round 5 GBs.
I (jdcarpe) will be the point of contact for questions regarding this group buy. Ordering and logistics will be handled by the team at [CTRL]ALT.
No kits, no muss, no fuss. Alphas, Mods, Numpad, Tsangan, ISO, and JD40/45 all included. One kit to rule them all. :)
All orders will be shipped by BunnyLake (Int'l) and codyeatworld (CONUS) of [CTRL]ALT.
This GB will have a fast turnaround time, and orders will ship within 48 hours of receipt from manufacturer.
This GB will run concurrently with the Miami Twice GB, so if you plan on ordering both sets, you can combine shipping to save money.
Yes, you heard that right... All owners of the JD40 (and upcoming JD45) keyboards, now hear this! THIS SET IS FULLY COMPATIBLE WITH THE JD40/45 KEYBOARDS. If you have been looking for a set to adorn your JD40, look no further!!

Thanks for the fast reply :thumb:
Too bad, but of course I respect this decision.
Another question:
I am not an expert on SA keys, but if I am not mistaken there were always issues with the profile of the shift keys, because Signature Plastics doesn't have the correct molds.
Has this been fixed yet?

Correct, as it stands now, Shifts will all be Row 3 profile, as before. When and if Signature Plastics is willing to correct this glaring oversight on their part, we would love to have the correct Row 4 profile Shifts included. If they become available after the group buy ends, I plan to do a "Shifts-only" GB for the correct profile caps.

At a glance it looks like you'd only need to add another set of letters to populate a full size in ISO as well...

Much as I love the colours that is one hell of a lot of keycaps to do a JD40!
At a glance it looks like you'd only need to add another set of letters to populate a full size in ISO as well...
Heh, almost anyway. A few bottom row 1.25 mods would be missing, as well.
You could always sell the numpad kit to someone looking to fill a Goldtouch or Filco numpad or GHpad! :)

Why not a carpe keyboards key and a ctrlalt key then those can be used with the top row geek hack keys.
Or I'll just buy some of the blanks from SP like I did for penumbra :))

can't stand SA or ABS....but contoured SA is interesting and a JD40 is small enough to keep in storage AND it won't have the bad rshift.
will think more about it when prices come out

It looks as if there are two DEL keys on the same row and that the blank modifiers are on row 4.
If the \| key is for UK ISO then it should be on row 4. No Fn for bottom row also.

Could you reorder the image so that it better shows which rows the additional modifiers and ISO keys are on?

Sure, I'll do that for you tomorrow. Most of the mods are Row 3, because the bottom row is Row 3, and the Shift situation. And you're right about the two Del keys, that was an oversight. Thanks.

Well SP allows PMK group buys to bump other already in production group buys, which I personally find to be a bit sleazy.
So whether or not it would be quicker I can't say for sure, BUT I don't want to get this set at the cost of delaying a set I purchased a year ago (R5).

A group buy with no price? I am a bit lost here, is this a sort of secret code?
Read much?
Yeah, we are working on getting a quote for this, and trying to keep it as close to $100 or so per set as we can. By eliminating "child" kits, the base is only slightly more expensive than buying strictly alphas and mods, and you don't have to add $25 for a numpad, $15 for ISO, $20 for Tsangan, $20 for JD40, etc.

Aesthetics and comfort. I like the look of contoured keys, and how each row has differences. That said, I also like DSA, so a little bit of everything for me.

I believe most people who complain about not liking SA profile do so because they have only ever used the uniform profile (all row 3) kits. I much prefer the contoured profile, due to the feeling when typing on them. No, it's not absolutely perfect, due to the small compromises we have to make with regard to the tooling, but it's better than the flat typing experience.
I know this leaves some people out who use different layouts, and thus need to swap keycaps into different rows, but those users probably understand that group buys are all about economy of scale. There has to be a balance between the number of keys in the kit (to keep the costs low), and the number of users affected by additions and omissions.

I didn't experience a fully contoured SA set until I tried out Pulse, but now I'm addicted. It's a much better experience and I'm definitely picking up at least one of these sets. I totally respect your decision to not mess with any kits, but I'd love to be able to pick up an extra GE spacebar or three. I'm really rough on mine and I'd like to have a few backups. Is that something that can be arranged? Or would I need to contact SP and hope that they have some extras in their inventory?

I know its probably convention, but why its the "\" key always the same colors as the alphas instead of the mods? To me it looks much cleaner, especially on a 60% if it matches the other mods.
They're that way on classic boards because those keys are not mods, they are characters.
A lot of sets offer both colors to please the masses. Sets emulating Cherry likely won't.

Either way SA feels great, honestly. And if you're worried about layout, just buy a tkl to it on and use a different set on your smaller board. :thumb:

Sorry, it's been requested, but I don't encourage people to do wrong things. :P
I've actually given this a lot of thought: whether the ~ and | key should be the same color as the alphas, or mods.
At first, you think the keyboard should look better when those two keys get the same color treatment as the mods. It's more symmetrical, it's balanced on both ends, the colors match up nicely. However, upon further thought, and in practice (IMO), it looks much better with the same color as the alphas, especially if the spacebar is already the mod color scheme (but this is a different topic).
When ~ and | are the color of the mods, everything looks so claustrophobic. Everything is boxed/walled in... tense even. The mods are encapsulating and surrounding the alphas. When ~ and | get the alpha colors, there feels like there's a breakaway, an aesthetic feeling of escape. More comfortable. Like your eyes stretch across the keys more as your brain endorses the lack of symmetry, rather than focusing only on the blotchy uniformities in color. Small violations of symmetry look good. That's why there's so much demand for colored escape and enter keys (ie: GMK Dolch w/ Color Pack). Small doses of forced asymmetry is more aesthetically pleasing, and for this reason, I like ~ and | getting the same colors as the alphas (as it is in this buy).
I'll stop now, I just waxed way too long about such a minute detail. In the grand scheme of things, it really doesn't matter, but then again... what really does?

@jdcarpe I actually do think we should have some space bars available just in case we wear our old ones out since I know that I tend to wear out my space bars extremely quickly.
I was just being sarcastic on my previous post btw so I hope you wern't offended =) :thumb:
I'd say SP will have extra spacebars if you want one, they normally do, just shoot them a email once this set is made and ask.

I had no clue you can order extras by contacting them. That aqlctually makeanit quite nice.
Well I have in the past, so unless something has changed you should be able to. They used to have pdf's with extra key caps on their website but I don't see it now.

Oops, sorry Oobly. I need to stick this info in the OP somewhere.
I am not an expert on SA keys, but if I am not mistaken there were always issues with the profile of the shift keys, because Signature Plastics doesn't have the correct molds.
Has this been fixed yet?
Correct, as it stands now, Shifts will all be Row 3 profile, as before. When and if Signature Plastics is willing to correct this glaring oversight on their part, we would love to have the correct Row 4 profile Shifts included. If they become available after the group buy ends, I plan to do a "Shifts-only" GB for the correct profile caps.

Perhaps these two keys could be offered in a separate "wrong" kit so those with different preferences can enjoy the keyset and help out the MOQ in the group buy?

I think he meant to replace the "\|" key, not the Caps Lock.
FYI, in Pulse set, we have Row3 2.25x shift, 2.75x shift, but Row4 1.75x shift, 1x fn.
This. Please update the set and move the 1x Fn and 1.75x Shift to Row 4 so it matches when we do eventually get our Row 4 Shifts.

This set is... droolicious. Like my favourite DCS set (Nostalgia) met my favourite GMK set (Dolch) and made a big fat SA baby! Um.. well, perhaps I could have worded that a bit differently, but I think you get the idea. I LOVE this set.

Hmmm, you would rather have the 1.75u and 1u Shift and Fn keys on Row 4, when your left shift will be on Row 3? That would really mess with my head, I think. I haven't tried it with my PuLSE set yet, as I haven't opened the extra keys I bought, only the base kit.
I'll test it out later, but for now I think I'll leave it as is.
I just sent an email to Melissa asking when the Row 4 shift molds would be ready.
And of course, the problem with making the 1.25u Shift a Row 4 key is that the 1.25u size on Row 4 is only available in Matte finish, while the entire rest of the set will be finished in Semi-Matte.

I'd live with the difference. I only use the right Shift key anyway.
Um.. It's a 1.75x Shift, not 1.25x and 1.75x Row 4 comes in semi-matte. It will make the number of Row 4 Shifts needed later lower.
I'm actually okay with either option, really (all Row 3 with the main set, all Row 4 later OR Row 4 on these keys straight away, remaining Row 4 Shifts later), but it's a small extra cost.

I don't count the spacebars, since they are only ever available in that (row 3-ish) profile. But the other bottom row mods would be row 4.

Nope! Not if that makes it matte finish. If you can keep it semi-matte in those row profiles then yes, I like it a lot, but if not... no thanks.

Most Cherry G80 and G81 boards have offset Caps Lock (with a stepped keycap) and spacebar switches. Almost all others do not. If you take the Caps Lock cap off the switch you can see if it's centred or offset:

Middle cap has centred stem, bottom cap has offset. Usually if it's a stepped cap it'll have an offset stem / switch.

For split backspace, wouldn't you assign backspace to the 1.5u key on row 2, and use the ~` and |\ keys where the 2u backspace would be. The only real use case for a row 1 1u backspace key would be if you're using a BigAss Enter, which this keyset doesn't support. :)

I don't know if this is typical, but here's my setup: Esc has a fn layer to cover `~, and the right half of the backspace key becomes Del (left half is \|). I could use the `~ key, which I suppose is what I'll do (I forgot we'd have that key available), but I would much prefer to have it Del or blank, rather than using something I have mapped elsewhere. But again, that might just be me - not trying to shake up the set you have, just explaining. :thumb:

You got the idea, but now the set has a full touch centered stem CTRL replacement cap for the CAPS LOCK. One exception is a stepped caps lock in DCS profile made by SP in WoBlk and WoBeige that has a centered stem, I think techkeys still has them in stock. Other option is to "mod" a stepped caps lock by cutting its stem and glue it at the center of the cap.

Looks great so far! Though, one suggestion I have is:
For the benefit of those switching out the WIN keys, I would suggest doubling down on the SUPER keys (the logical WIN substitute) and you could drop the META key to keep the numbers the same, as ALT <-> META, so you would need two anyways, just one would be lopsided. One HYPER would still be fine if you wanted to put it in place of the MENU, as there really is not an analogue to it on current keyboards.
Oh, and are you going dishes or nipples for the homing keys? ;D

I think that's a good idea.
The lack of symmetry would keep me from joining this GB.
I mean I can understand that you don't like it, but adding extra options doesn't hurt anybody or does it?

Okay, this is close to being locked in. 3-1-2-3-4-3 in semi matte.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/3EnNjOT.png)
I made a couple additions for the CMD, SUPER, HYPER, META keys, and took out a few blanks. Also, I see where the Control-A and HHKB people are coming from. :)
Looks great so far! Though, one suggestion I have is:
For the benefit of those switching out the WIN keys, I would suggest doubling down on the SUPER keys (the logical WIN substitute) and you could drop the META key to keep the numbers the same, as ALT <-> META, so you would need two anyways, just one would be lopsided. One HYPER would still be fine if you wanted to put it in place of the MENU, as there really is not an analogue to it on current keyboards.
Oh, and are you going dishes or nipples for the homing keys? ;D
That probably makes the most sense. I'll make that change shortly. I will drop the HYPER and META keys in favor of matching CMD and SUPER keys.

I would just like to say that I am really in favour of this style of group buy :thumb:
To me it has vibes of the "80-20" rule going on; offering a lower amount of kits (the 20%) will satisfy a large percentage of the potential user base (the 80%). Sure there are going to be some of our friends who are missing some keys with from the main kit, but with a friendly attitude towards people running their own mini-buys those problems can be solved.
Being relatively new to the keycap game I remember being confused by the 'main kit + child kits' standard. On PMK where people go in on buying many kits with the whole order hinging on something like the ISO kit (DSA home row mods, ErgoDox legends, etc). When a buy like that goes live, and a vital child-buy doesn't drop people want to back on all of the kits they ordered which messes with the pricing -or- they are left unsatisfied and maybe have to try and sell their caps at a later date.
I can't think of many companies that would pay give the amount of attention to their audience as the GB leaders on GH. We then have to remember that it is normally only one person who is trying to juggle all of the personal preference, custom legend ideas and all the other niche requests. On top of that they do it for the love of keyboards, not for profit. I think this format will lead to less stress/hassle for GB leaser and in this case that looks like it is going to propagate into a quick turn around, which hopefully leads to a high number or orders and a low price for the community!
I hope the people who are after a few specific keys will still want to go in on this and then set up their own mini-GB and help out others who are after the same thing. These key cap sets are for the community and it feels good that the GB leaders are open to 'decentralizing' the ownership a bit so we can get nice extras like the Rad Hard pack and Out Of The Vault in Nuclear Data Green (for example). Hack'd by Geeks ErgoDox kit anyone ;)
Anyway. Thanks JDCarpe and the CtrlAlt bros, I'm in for my first full SA set :D

:lol:I am not an expert on SA keys, but if I am not mistaken there were always issues with the profile of the shift keys, because Signature Plastics doesn't have the correct molds.
Has this been fixed yet?
Correct, as it stands now, Shifts will all be Row 3 profile, as before. When and if Signature Plastics is willing to correct this glaring oversight on their part, we would love to have the correct Row 4 profile Shifts included. If they become available after the group buy ends, I plan to do a "Shifts-only" GB for the correct profile caps.
There is nothing to be fixed!
The 2 Shift keys (2.25 and 2.75 units) have been made for Diatec and they chose row 3.
You can be lucky that there exist molds for 6.25 and 7 units space bars, funded through the Round 4 group buy, which made it possible to use sphericals on standard keyboards at all!
:o
I also hope that everybody appreciates that the participants of Round 5 funded the mold for the row 1 2 units key (Back Space).
:o
About the remaining keys:
I'm so sorry, but in Round 6 I will let them make a 1.5 units hat cap, so there will be no money for 1.25, 2.25 and 2.75 units molds in row 4.
:o
So, why not just take a bit more money per kit and let them make at least one new mold, so you can contribute to the tool pool, instead of just delaying Round 5 production for another month or two ...
:o

Hey, I appreciate all the work you've done with SP for the SA profile, I really do!
And...I have plenty of keycaps on order in R5, so I don't want to see delays any more than you do.
If SP would talk to me about the damn row 4 Shifts, I might be able to work something out with them regarding funding the molds, but they haven't even answered my emails. :(

Oh, and for those who have been asking, the F and J keys will be deep dish, not homing bumps.
I don't know what deep dish is but I've done some homeworks looking on the Internet. Is the picture below a good example of it?

If you look at the F and J key, they seem deeper hence I conclude it was deep dish but I'm just guessing here.

Just needs a dark "\|" key still.
Consider a 60% use case, you put the dark Row 1 "ESC" on the top left and the right hand side has this... inconsistency. It may be against your beliefs to add this, but it offends my delicate sensibilities not to. Either that or change the Row 1 "ESC" to the lighter colour, but I prefer it darker along with the dark "\|". I can live with either option, though, and since this is your GB, it's your choice to make.
For the record, I prefer homing bumps to deep dish since it's easier to feel when typing fast, but I could quite easily live with deep dish since it does suit the profile nicely.

I'm a Geekhack newcomer. Bought a Ducky Shine 3 TKL, loving her, and now I'm looking for gifting her a retro-keycap set. This one seems amazing (a C64-like would be even better :), but I've got a couple of doubt:
1) will the kit fit the Ducky Shine 3 TKL (she's got a UK layout)? (I know it should fit, but as I said I'm a newcomer, and some keys like shift, spacebars, etc... seems to be non-trivial)
2) tried to figure out how much higher is the SA profile comparing it to stock keys, but I'm not sure about it. Something like 4-5 mm?

I don't know about the profile but I'd say it should fit your keyboard. ISO keys are included in the GB so if you keyboard is, you'll have the keys needed. Someone correct me but I think Ducky keyboards have 6.25u spacebar and 1.25 modifers pretty much like the majority of keyboards hence you should be fine because it is the basic size of the keys in this kit.

Hey BL, your mock ups definitely look more color-correct than JD's. Is it also safe to assume that yours will be closer to the final font & size? In other words, is there an end product for reference that would match it closely for a better idea?
Currently looking at the same set ngt posted, space cadet round 4.

Yes, Round 4 (Spherical-Style), 23 Commando, PuLSE, Calm Depths, Penumbra...those all would match the font and size.
For accurate color representation of the greys, look at Mass Order 1 (Round 1), or Round 3, or Round 4 (Round 3-Style).

sorry noob time: I get really confused, what does the "full contour" mean? It is different to the other SA sets? :(
Row profiles from top to bottom are: 3-1-2-3-4-3.
The other common way is "uniform profile," where all keycaps are row 3 profile.
Some have done it 1-2-3-3-3-4 (23 Commando), or 1-2-3-3-3-3.

Typically after the group buy is done you can shoot Mellisa at SP an email to get one for a couple bucks.
Great tip! Thank you very much buddy.

Obviously there is no guarantee they will have them but SP is usually very helpful they usually also have extra spacebars and top row blanks.

No warranties then, any chance to add one to the set? I know, I am in the minorities' back yard.

I had no problem but I think you may be right. Bunny said he is gonna start another thread for the Miami Twice set in case anyone has any questions so I think it is best to wait to order, at least for now.

JD will this be a limited run?
Nope. The more the merrier! Feel free to advertise the buy elsewhere, if you like. If we pass the break-even mark, and get something crazy like 300 orders, additional keys will be added to the set as extra goodies.

Since GBs by Signature Plastic usually have their price reduced when more people order, I'm assuming that this won't be the case for this GB?
Post by: jdcarpe on Tue, 13 January 2015, 21:18:19
Hi asking just to clarify. (sorry if this was asked earlier)
Since GBs by Signature Plastic usually have their price reduced when more people order, I'm assuming that this won't be the case for this GB?
The way group buys work with [CTRL]ALT is that a kit is specified with certain keycaps included. A quote is requested from SP, and the price of the set is determined based on the estimate of how many sets will sell. If more sets are sold than expected, bonus keys will be included that may have been eliminated from the kit before the quote was requested, trying to save on costs.

Can't afford to spend $160+ (120 base+20 shipping+15%-27% customs) on a set at the moment which will be used on a 60% board!
I don't want more caps if the set exceeds expected orders, I want less price. I may have to wait for Retro or Skull Squadron SA. But I really want this set! :(

Ah, good to know, that actually brings the price into the "just affordable" category :D
This is such an awesome set, contoured SA, great colours, fits all boards I have and probably ever will buy. Reminds me of the Nostalgia set in many ways, that is also GH themed, "universal" (for 60% boards) and looks great!

Correct. The $20 international shipping is cheaper than having the set shipped directly to you from the US, while it also includes a tiny share of the import taxes that must be paid to ship all the international orders from the US to the UK.
And I know $120 seems like a lot. But just look at how complete the set is. You don't have to buy a separate pack for every use case, like a numpad kit, 60% kit, or tsangan kit. This covers all those. You would likely spend more, on average, for a "cheaper" set bought through PMK.

And I'd like to add that it keeps the resale value high, since it can be used on any semi-standard keyboard and the buyer won't be reluctant to buy some obscure extra pack you bought to support your oddball keyboard.

Actually, the firmware is almost ready, and prototypes will ship to beta testers very soon. After a bit of testing, you'll likely see a group buy for them.

Regarding to the price of the GB, I think it depends on what you need, doesn't it? If you just need normal modifiers and normal alpha it might be cheaper than the current price. However if you need ISO, tsangan, numpad and so on then it is worth. As there is only one kit so it is easier to redistribute the price on all the purchases instead of just a few. Am I right?

Yes, it's a philosophy we stand by. It's about the ethos of a group buy, helping each other toward a common goal of saving on costs, while making something possible for the group which wouldn't have been possible individually. I may write up a blog post about it for [CTRL]ALT.

I'll pass because of alphas font size being too huge for me but again very nice design.
If I may suggest (maybe for futur sets) adding the following caps (following 3-12343).
For ISO to US Qwerty ISO conversion
\ at R3
Planck + KBT Pure Pro support
another SHIFTx1 at R4
CTRLx1 at R3
DELx1 at R1
BACKSPACEx1 at R1
2x FNx1 at R3
ENTERx1 at R4
For other OSes support
Replace WIN with a generic term, like SYSTEM or SUPER.
Ok you already have CMD and SUPER keys but changing the label of the WIN keys allow the use of R3 x1 keys on some keyboards.
Another alternative is to add 2x CMDx1 at R3 and 2x SUPERx1 at R3 for Pure Pro, Planck and others support.
Congrats for the set ;)

Great set and well done for the bundle!
I'll pass because of alphas font size being too huge for me but again very nice design.
If I may suggest (maybe for futur sets) adding the following caps (following 3-12343).
For ISO to US Qwerty ISO conversion
\ at R3
Planck + KBT Pure Pro support
another SHIFTx1 at R4
CTRLx1 at R3
DELx1 at R1
BACKSPACEx1 at R1
2x FNx1 at R3
ENTERx1 at R4
For other OSes support

Unfortunately, it wouldn't have been possible to include all of those keys, just due to the sheer size to which the kit would grow, and the associated increase in cost.
I will address a few points:
* Planck keyboard support - the Planck is a 40% matrix design. VERY few people enjoy using a matrix keyboard. So to add support for a keyboard with so few users would unnecessarily add costs for the OVERWHELMING majority of purchasers, while benefiting literally only a handful of users, who may or may not purchase the set. GBs are about economies of scale.
* KBT Pure Pro - a very unfortunate keyboard design. As someone who designs and builds keyboards myself, I can tell you without hesitation that this is one of the worst keyboard designs I've ever encountered. If you purchased the Pure Pro, it's my opinion that the folks at Vortex duped you into buying their terrible product, which they dubbed with the "Pure" moniker in order to try and capitalize on a very good previous design. Marketing bait and switch, as it were.
* Other OS support - I did include 1.25-unit keys with SUPER and CMD labels, which covers the vast majority of users. Very few users will need a 1-unit OS key. Also, in the future, I plan on including an OS-agnostic symbol, which will further reduce the size of the kit, by eliminating the WIN, SUPER, and CMD keys altogether.

Damn, you spotted me on the Planck, I just thought it was selling ok because last PMK GB included a Planck set. The only interest I have in the Planck is that Planck sets may allow me to get a close to Pure Pro set ;) I could have say the Poincarré or anything that has R3-R4 singles =)
I know this isn't the place but now you started it I wanna know, why is the Pure Pro so terrible?
When I had to choose it came pretty on top, it has arrows, it is plate mounted (sounded like a cool idea at the moment, but not so now that I had to hack it a little and that I realize I'm a light force typer), it has backlight (which also sounded like a bright idea at first and still is in a way), it has 4 keys on the left of the space bar and these 4 lefties are vital for me, it has two additional programmable layers with possible timeout sequences (that I may use and is really fun to play with) and a smaller footprint than the Tex Beetle or the Filco Minila.
Ok it could have been better so I won't have to rely on software for 2 or 3 keys and allow layout flashing but been available and while I didn't know much about Teensy and DIY or Artisan keyboards...
I don't see, what's wrong? The PCB is a Poker one, just as the Pure should be as well, so basically the same.
Mmm oh... keycaps you mean? Right, I thought I won't have to change caps, but then... well, you see, there are these guys which are crazy about keyboards, they make incredible cool keycaps... ;P
Yup seen the universal symbol thread, great idea so with less OS keys you can add more Pure Pro keys for the same price in future sets! ;)

If you purchased the Pure Pro, it's my opinion that the folks at Vortex duped you into buying their terrible product, which they dubbed with the "Pure" moniker in order to try and capitalize on a very good previous design.
On the Pure, the good design was compromised by having CTRL-ALT-DEL short-cutted as FN+Left Shift. That was pants-on-head retarded. Don't get the key-press order wrong when doing shift-cursoring or you'll bring up the lock screen on Windows.

And this was ported over to the Pure Pro? Anyway that doesn't affect me as I'm rarely on Windows :)
For me, inconveniences of the Pure Pro are uncommon caps size and non easy hackability; on one hand you can't reprogram the layout on the other I found the PCB not easy to work with (readability, double side, too much varnish).
@JDcarpe Being a newbie I hadn't made the relation with you and the JD40, I now realize how possibly clumsy my previous posts were and hope I didn't worry or hurt you. I could have say the JD40 as well and there was not intention to play some kind of trick. The JD45 looks great!

Finally remembered to buy this set! :D This should be a good one. :thumb:
One of the rare FULL on, pure, SA Contoured Goodness available to us lot here on GH.
The colour-way is superb plus the shear amount of keys available makes it possible to deck out any type of keyboard (besides the midget deformations). It's just pure SEX, can't wait to get my finger tips upon these babies and enjoy the awesomeness connected to this particular key-set.
One of the luxurious sets currently available, that is why I couldn't ignore this for 2015.

That's just what SP calls that finish. Not matte, but just shy of being glossy. :)

They'll be replaced with these when they arrive :D
I'm still using Penumbra on my other 60%. They're Row 2, 3, 3, 3, 4: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=51026.msg1520889#msg1520889
They are all "semi-matte", which is actually quite smooth, but not shiny. They shine up fairly quickly with use, though, but don't seem to feel as "greasy" as the matte DCS sets when they do.

This choice of profile angles is simply amazing to type on. By far my favourite profile. Here are some pics of my PuLSE set, only 60% so you can't see how the top row looks, but Data's post a few above mine has pics of a TKL with them on: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=62554.msg1597372#msg1597372 (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=62554.msg1597372#msg1597372)

Does someone have a comparison of this profile with original Cherry sets? SA Caps are much taller of course, but I would like to see how the profiles compare in between.

I don't, but they will feel much different. Besides being taller, SA profile have spherical tops, while Cherry/GMK have cylindrical tops.

I noticed, by studying the info-graphic in the OP, the regular 2.25x and 2.75x shift keys are Row 3, but the 1.75x shift and the 1x FN key that goes with it are Row 4. This is what that would result in, an obvious mismatch:

I think it was stated in this thread that once SP gets hold of a mold with the right stem positions for the Row 4 shift, there will be a mini group buy for it. AFAIK the current mold of the Row 4 has the wrong stem placements.

Oh I know, I'm just pulling your chain. In reality this kit would cover most of what I need for my dox the downside being I wish I could easily just get blanks that match for the other keys. At least from what I can tell we can't just order blanks in a specific color/profile anywhere.

No harm in asking though, they may be able to accommodate.

SP has pulled the overstock section from their site. I know they sell single keys in PBT DSA in a small selection of colours, they do not appear to do the same with other profiles or plastics.
No harm in asking though, they may be able to accommodate.
thats one thing they tend to be pretty good at, accommodating requests like that, particularly with blanks

Sorry Bunny, I'd totally get one of these sets if I wasn't so low on cash currently =( I did order the Kyperfuse tho !!! :thumb:
Cash can always be acquired but missing out on this version of SA Profiled Brilliance will harm your devotion to keyboards. I know we concentrate on GMK which is admirable but this colour-way devised by CTRL/ALT, is unique and I am a fervent addict to SP's SA profile, above all others they create at their factory. Yes indeed, US of A is represented in "Hack'd by Geeks" key-set and if you really want to be known as a true Geekhack Addict, then you need these babies.
As I mentioned before they won't be re-done ever again so now's the time to start shaking some trees for extra cash and convincing your girl friends to front up with some extra money here. Do what ever you need to including submitting to any adverse positions for your master because in the end you shall own a very unique key-set that NOT everyone shall have the privilege to own.
I'm buying this key-set because it stirs something from my long distant past, a desire to remember what it's like to use older keyboards and their unique layouts. Also remembering my downloads of first pron pics of Vanessa Del Rio and Traci Lords which made life at school just that little more tolerable, yes I was a PC addict way back then simply because you could build a pc from scratch and bring it to life. You could affirm your own existence when your face was covered in pimples and looking like some giant ape escaped from a local zoo, it was really that bad for me back then.
Memories from the past wasn't all good or decent but it helps to build what you are today and I hope that everyone climbs onboard this Hack'd Geek-Set and populate some keyboards because it will look truly amazing :thumb: .

I was struggling with myself if I should get this or not. Actually I still am struggling, because it would fit my grey QFR case perfectly. But sometimes you have to think rationally.
If he cannot afford it, then don't talk him into overspending his money. There are people for which 133$ is a ****load of money. And they have to spend their money wisely. Pls don't talk them into things they might regret.

Even if you don't like it after it arrives, someone will take it off your hands through classifieds faster than you can blink. But that's not gonna happen because you will love it.

These will likely never be made again once this GB ends. This set seems expensive, because everything is in one kit. But look back at your previous GB purchases through PMK, and you will probably find that you spent as much or more on a single GB purchase, after you ordered all the child kits you needed.
So, my advice is don't miss out on this, if you have even a passing interest. Contoured SA is very nice for typing. SA keycaps are THICK and beautiful. This set was well thought out by BunnyLake and me to be one of the best sets ever made, in a colorway that both reminds you of the "old" days of computer terminals, and is representative of Geekhack forum colors.

I understand that sometimes we don't always have the money at the right time to get in on everything we want. But, as Elrick said above, be prepared to live with the regret that follows. As a personal example, I steered MiTo into making PuLSE a very nice contoured SA profile group buy keycap set. I knew I had to buy it, after I had gone through the effort to ensure it would be a great set. So I ordered a set. At the time, the Green Tea set was running concurrently, which I really wanted as well. However, I was strapped for cash, and couldn't afford both. When the sets started shipping, I immediately regretted not buying into the Green Tea GB. I was able to pick up a base set and mods later, but I am still searching for a SmallFry kit for my JD40. I should have sold something to pay for the Green Tea set when it was available.

You are not alone when it comes to choosing which key-set to buy BUT there is even a more desperate emotion known as 'regret'. When I first joined GH many years ago and heard about Group Buys and various coloured key-caps being available for everybody, I was very fearful but extremely excited. Never even had a mechanical keyboard before until I saw my first Group Buy and jumped on it, then another Group Buy was announced and sure enough it ALSO knocked me off my chair, just looked so brilliant and wanted to die because I had no money left to buy any more key-sets.
Managed to ONLY get one key-set but my disappointment in missing the other Group Buy really destroyed me, couldn't eat, sleep or even see my girl friend at the time, it just wasn't worth living anymore. So to avoid my type of experience you need to organize your finances better, meaning you take up a part time job, casual job anything at all including selling some of your mate's weed on a street corner. Even sold off one of my Valiant's at the time that I was restoring, that was how I built up my savings chest doing whatever it takes to get the money flowing into my biscuit tin (savings bank at the time).
Now I try not to miss out on any important Group Buy because being a loser is easy but being a winner is quite hard and difficult, you have to sacrifice so much but in the end it all comes together if you are indeed a true Keyboard Fanatic 8) .

Post by: Elrick on Sat, 31 January 2015, 20:25:13
Wait, you sold a Valiant to get more key-caps? I admire your dedication, but I think that went a bit far. :))
Yep, bought an old, rusty AP6 from a friend who was intending to rebuild it, but when Geekhack hit me hard decided to let go something that was so precious to me, in my pursuit of the coloured key-caps. Now I'm lucky to hold a good job that pays well, especially now and can afford to choose the very best sets to buy, as my tastes have grown somewhat from my early days of being here.
But that's part of life, the will to sacrifice an item for something better, although I am still looking for another AP6 to buy and rebuild myself.

I just thought of my own little logistical problem: since I got in on this & the Hyper Fuse set, I've paid for both of them to ship as a single order I guess. Not sure if I want to wait that long for these to arrive ..

Okay so where are you going? Curious to know because I'm an old nut-bag and I've got nowhere to go yet I'm happy to wait for these babies to arrive at my address here in Convict Town.
If I can wait, what makes you so special requiring immediate delivery of these items?

I figured I might ask for separate shipping of the 2 sets.
Sure, I could wait, but since I basically decided to get these as my first "group buy" keyset, I'd like to put them on my board as fast as possible. During confirmation of the order, I browsed through the webshop one last time to see if I could find anything else worthwhile, and I stumbled upon the Hyper Fuse set :)
By the way, why make such a reference like I'm implying I'm special in any way?

Yeah, that's all up to you. Pay less for combined shipping and wait for both sets to ship at the same time, or pay separate shipping for each and get this one before Hyperfuse.
Decisions, decisions...

although hyperfuse has a longer buy period, traditionally gmk are very fast at production, so they should arrive at a pretty similar time
but if one arrives first, and you want it asap, we can sort that at the time

Trust me our nation fell down the sewer pipe a long time ago maybe around the late 1980's when every successive government elected thought is was fine to destroy any manufacturing on home soil.

You could hack off the mounts with an exacto knife and remount them with some super glue haha.
As much I like the FC660 layout, the fact that it has two 1.75 shifts and the wonky leopold space bar mounts is such a turn off if your're into buying keycaps.. But thanks to massdrop it's popularity is surging. Don't get me wrong though it is a SOLID board in both topre and mx versions.

This is were the average Geekhacker becomes a very serious contender to being a hard-core addict. Like all addicts nothing gets in your way, absolutely nothing at all.
You've got those that do the talk and those that front up and this Group Buy exposes the weak talkers verses the hard core realists, that never back down regardless. You've got to be really serious when buying this Key-set so stand up and be proud to become an official Geekhack Keyboard collector using one of the most decent Profiles ever made by Signature Plastics 8) .

Relax Synjin you've got plenty of time, about 10 days or so left on the clock. You can still shake some money from your girlfriend (or boyfriend) they'll help out when needed, also get a loan from your parents or sister, pay them back with interest when you've sent through your order.
You can make money especially if you are willing to let go of some cherished gear in the For Sale section here because there will always be people wanting what you've got. Later if you still lament selling anything come back here and re-buy it again off the person you sold it too (but do expect to pay far more for it).

so you can just put a topre stem on the nova wherever you want a bro cap

Don't forget when they arrive into your hot little hands, you have to apply some lube to help ease them into some tight holes ;D . Ahhhh the feeling is quite exquisite..........
I'm a bit sad because I heard Bro Caps won't fit on a NT ... I won 4 of them.

A solution I thought of was to sand down the rectangular shape containing the shape so it will fit on the NT stem. I just feel bad about modifying Bro's awesome work.

You wouldn't be modifying the bro cap at all, you will be modifying the board, you will replace the Novatouch MX compatible stem with a regular Topre stem that way you can use the brobot.

yeah that isnt a particularly good solution, i think trading for a topre bro cap would be better

but if people want a bro cap on there as well as mx caps and a topre experience
that is the workaround

I like the fact that I can put my Bro Caps on my Topre board or my MX boards at will.
I think the NT just requires some mods to be as good as others Topre boards. But in the end you'll get a level of customization that other Topre can't have.

This is Full Contoured so they are different from the all same profiled Nuclear's that I have in my possession. The Nuclear's were created to fit almost any keyboard available (aka the 1800 series), these babies will provide a beautiful slope to type on with the keys angled correctly for long sessions of typing (unfortunately not on an 1800).
These are my first purchase for 2015 hence my excitement is building for this set, plus my personal love for this colour-way knows no bounds.

I'm not sure how the buy is coded to end on the site. If Bunny doesn't mind, leaving it open though end-of-day on Friday would probably be a good thing.

i can always extend it a day if need be
also
stripe money takes 7 days to clear in to my account, so i will be making the order with sp 7 days after tha buy ends, that means, that if anyone wants to order in that 7 days, and can pay via paypal, it is no problem at all

Something I think I have misunderstood. Does "contoured" reference this (http://deskthority.net/wiki/File:KeyProfile.gif) or does it reference the fact that the top of the cap is deeper than his contour?

It's the ONLY decent key-cap profile made in the United States hence always go for the BEST in that country.

i think they will end up getting made about the same time, gmk tend to be faster than SP, although ill have a better idea once the orders are placed, you can always combine, and then if one arrives earlier than the other and you want it sooner, just pay the extra shipping then

yeah i really thought gmk was the one until i randomly found some Filco SA's in tokyo for $40.
now i'm using my novatouch more than my hhkb :eek:

Typically 6-8 weeks for production.

it's random and often depends on what other group buys they have going on.
in my experience you will be waiting around 2 - 3 months but it could be longer if something special like the recent Granite R2 gb happens.

Yes, you can update your shipping address at any time before the sets ship.

How many more sets are needed? I've really been debating picking up a set but I'm hesitant to drop $120 on MX gear when I've literally barely touched my MX boards since getting the RealForce. I don't mind picking up a set though if it will help push us closer to MOQ.
I think we're right around the number we need to break even at that price, so you don't have to order, if you aren't using MX. But every order helps, too. :D

Typically 6-8 weeks for production.
it's random and often depends on what other group buys they have going on.Thanks for the fast replies
in my experience you will be waiting around 2 - 3 months but it could be longer if something special like the recent Granite R2 gb happens.
I've placed my order, this set goes too well with the board I have in transit: it has orange backlighting.

It is very unlikely that you will see any backlighting through the tops or sides of the keys - SA keycaps are very thick.
The best you'll get is a bit of underglow.

You always buy the sets then buy the keyboards later on. Still prefer to leave the key-sets on keyboards and buy new keyboards to fill out, with NEW key-cap purchases.

Any suggestions for a TKL with clear switches? I'm leaning towards the wasd code even though I don't need the LEDs or the KUL once the clears are back in stock. Was also thinking about stealth or blank keycaps, but now that I'll have this set it doesn't really matter...

What does the "full contour" mean? I tried searching in the thread but since those words are in the title literally every reply matched my search. I'm familiar with what SA profile is, but does full contour mean there is something unique about this set?
There are different row profiles, unlike most previous SA buys were everything was row 3. The only other "full contour" set I can think of off the top of my head is Pulse, and of course the upcoming RetroBlight. Full Contour is all the rage!

Too Right :thumb: .
If you haven't used or typed on a Full-Contoured Set before in your life then be prepared to be blown out of your chair.
It's the ONLY profile that is so distinctive and so retro in style yet it allows ultimate comfort when typing. When I first bought my sets of Camouflage then Pulse I knew this will be the ONLY Signature Plastics profile to buy from now on.
All of their other profiles are so under-developed compared to the meaty goodness of these babies, if these were little parcels of cakes instead of plastic people would jump on these like hardcore sugar addicts 8) .

The angle of the prop holding the keys is way too much (you should have your board close to flat in most cases for best ergonomics), but you can see the angles of the keycap tops at least.

The angle of the prop holding the keys is way too much (you should have your board close to flat in most cases for best ergonomics), but you can see the angles of the keycap tops at least.
According with research on the subject the best ergonomics in a flat single unit keyboard is when it has a negative angle. Tilted backwards, instead of the common practice to tilt it forward.

Doesn't apply to everyone and every setup though. Ergonomics is a very personal subject, more so than switch preference. There are some general guide lines though. I don't believe this to be one of them.

It appears the article conclusion is based on stress on the wrists due to unnatural flexion angle of them, the feeling is a totally different subject of course. Biomechanics against confort. Of course, anthropometric data is based on statistics, thus, individual feeling would rarely can be represented that way.

orders are only active once they are marked as paid so nothing to worry about
im going to go through paypal invoices now, and mark those as paid on the site
for everyone who paid through the site, or thinks they did, can you please check your order status, and make sure it states paid, if it doesnt state paid, please contact me, i dont want anyone to be disappointed they dont get a set because they think they paid but it didnt go through

See Bunny what you've done, you've literally became the Dr.Phil of Key-caps sorting out everyone's frustrations with ease and making them better people for it.
We need to have a syndicated show with you showing the art of ordering and what to expect during Group Buys run by CTRL/ALT and then having Geekhackers come on stage professing their problems and what not.

That's one thing to note when dealing with Bunny, he has such a HUGE heart when it comes to dealing with anyone, even the forgetmenot's that miss out on firm deadlines.
THEY eventually get their orders fulfilled so everyone gets their share of these babies, Bunny NEVER ignores those that have problems. He really is the Angel of Geekhack 8) .

I totally agree! :thumb:
It must require some good financial state to invest that much waiting for people to pick theirs afterwards. Well I guess his experience as a seller on this forum showed him that once the pictures will start to flow everybody will want a piece of theirs.

Not as much risk as you might think - [CTRL]ALT's GBs are always very popular, and a lot of people who miss out wish they had participated, so BunnyLake is pretty much guaranteed to sell those few extra sets.

Not much risks indeed but it still requires you to pay upfront. You need to able to sit on that money for a while, the time he sells them off.

so theres really no risk on something like this with the extra sets, however the previous issues with the old US proxy have sucked, because its not just orders that are delayed, again i have extras of all of those so that money has been tied up for ages
however i always like to get some extras, there are always people who either missed it, couldnt afford it at the time or werent members when the buy was live, so i like to accommodate that as much as possible

Oh well at least I paid rent this month...god I can barely afford cherry board's and caps but yet this voice in my head keeps telling me that 55g topre is what I really need. :thumb: :eek:Good guy Bunny.

Get both the Thorpie 55g and the Cherry's that way you'll have more keyboards to play with. Although Realforce's aren't available to GMK, BSP or SP key-caps but it's still a sound investment.
Before long you'll have hundreds of keyboards begging for key-caps on a rotating basis, hence start collecting as soon as possible. Also need to get a well paid job to facilitate this type of hobby as you go forth in life :thumb: .

I already know you are a nice guy. No need to convince me anymore! :D
That's definitely nice of you to invest that kind of money for other people even though you might sell everything afterwards this is still money you cannot use for something else until you did sell.

Is anyone familiar with the feel of these SA keycaps? Specifically the top part? Are the keys rough/textured like the dsa dolch keycaps or are they smoother?
If they are like the Nuclear Data Green (uniform row 3 SA) they are smooth and shiny.

SA are available in matte finish, but we chose to go with the semi matte for these, in keeping with the retro styling.

thanks so much sir
as ctrl alt has grown, we get more and more orders form outside of geekhack, yet we have only been providing updates here on gh, so we have been working hard to make the experience better for all users, so we made some fancy emails themed to each buy, and that was the first, we just sent a miami one out, and we will have a hyperfuse one out some time in the next couple days

Sadly I didn't get in on the real GB so no pretty e-mail for me, but I am liking the sound of this. Three weeks for them to get from SP to Bunny then on to me, arriving on my birthday on the 7th? If SP don't don't delay and customs are feeling friendly it might just happen :-X

i was gonna save these extras for the store, but i have about 15 spare sets, so if anyone wants one and for it to ship with the regular gb, hit me up, id like to try free up a little capital to order a few extra hyperfuse sets
Bunny if you still have spare sets I'd be interested in one for the Infinity standard layout I've got on order.
It looks like all the special keys I would need (short right shift and fn buttons) are included in this set...can anyone confirm this?

DSA yes, but this discussion from Nuclear Data Green (an SA set) suggests you're out of luck to match Hack'd, but it's worth an e-mail to check it's still true.
what about 6u?
A bloody G80-1865 uses that size, a real pain when it comes to Group Buys because SP doesn't have the molding for fitment to these brilliant keyboards :'( .
I think the current 660M uses that size as well........

I got in on the GMK Hyperfuse GB a day or two before it ended. I saw post on reddit about it and decided to check it out at CtrlAlt. While I was there I saw the Hack'd by Geeks set and that I had missed out on it. I joined this site just so I could message Bunny to see if there were any extras of this set. I managed to find a full set of Skull Squadron keycaps that I have on my WASD v1 (brown) right now. I love them. I'm going to have to put them somewhere else once Hack'd comes in. I don't have enough keyboards for all the awesome keycaps that I have on the way. Sorry for rambling, I'm just really excited about this set.

I modified enough keyboards earlier in the sentence with don't have. That imparts the meaning that I have an insufficient number of keyboards. I believe this might be a little more familiar around here.

Regarding this GB, I was mostly joking. I don't think Infinity Hacker will ever see an SA profile set, since SP only offers 6U spacebars for DSA and DCS profiles. The closest SA is 6.2 (not 6.25):
http://solutionsinplastic.com/pdfs/DCSFamily.pdf
http://solutionsinplastic.com/pdfs/DSAFamily.pdf
http://solutionsinplastic.com/pdfs/SAFamily.pdf
That said, there really isn't anyone out there making custom spacebars (besides Ducky putting animals on theirs). That might be a good way to make oneself stand out as a cap artisan...

That's really cool. And I can no longer say I've never seen a DIY spacebar.

I'm pretty sure Elrick would convince him to buy two sets instead, and radio would walk away somehow believing he made money on the deal.

I missed this one first time around. How sad will I be if I don't pm bunny to ask if there's one more set?
I ask because my wallet is hurting, amigos. And I thought,.... maybe, .... if I just don't ask, no further harm will come to my battered finances.
But I fear it might be a mistake.
Help.

I've got Penumbra and I like the look of Hack'd by Geeks far more :thumb: .
Why you might ask, simply because of it's retro look and coloured orange legends which excites me so. Hack'd by Geeks should be in every keyboard you own simply because it deserves to be admired daily 8) .

I can't wait for Hack'd by Geeks - I was planning to update my pc build to a black and gold colour scheme inspired by Deus Ex Human Revolution and think it would work really nice alongside it!

I feel your wallet pain however this is a really gorgeous set and I'm not sure if you have felt SA profile keys but people tend to either love them or hate them. I for one LOVE ThEM ! The worst case scenario you can post it for sale in the classifieds here or on mechmarket for slightly less than your initial investment (Some post them for more ) and recover some monies. I have a feeling though once you get your hands on it your gong to be very happy you did. Either way good luck and thanks again bunny for helping us out who showed up late to party you rock. Cheers !

I can almost assure you that posting it on the classifieds here or on mechmarket will allow you to sell it for at least your cost plus shipping or perhaps even more to avoid selling at a loss. This is an amazing key set.OmenFriends,

Yea, I just... Sigh, within the past 30 days, I signed up for the hyperfuse GB, 330 gateron switches/some of those are clear tops, 3x vortex pbt keysets from massdrop, the ergodox infinity massdrop, ordered a planck kit.... Still debating on the granite set on massdrop, but I like the look of this set more. I didn't sign up originally because I missed it.
Anyway, if a set is available, I'll def pick one up.

Also... paid invoice from Bunny for "hack'd by geeks" set. They'll be my first SA family set. I noticed on the http://keycapsdirect.com/key-caps.php page about SA family they don't appear to come in PBT, is this common for all SA or just the ones coming from Signature Plastics. I didn't have much luck googling for PBT SA keycaps.

PBT is overrated. Thick ABS is where it's at.
In all honestly, people go nuts for PBT because it's more wear resistant and feels better than stock ABS caps that come with most keyboard. But a quality double shot ABS set is my preference, and is also MUCH better than any stock keycaps to me, including most of the stock PBT options.

I'm having a play in layout editor to see what I can do with this set and noticed the ISO short shift is in row 3 - is this due to the same mold problem that plagues the standard shifts or is it just wrong in the mock up?
It's because semi matte finish is not available for R4 1.25u keys.

AFAIK SA is only a profile name by SP. If you look at the stock key caps set sold with the RF HiPro it is similar but it isn't called SA. :)

SP only make ABS SA profile.
PBT has different thermal properties to ABS, so the molds have to be made differently, so you can't just run PBT in ABS molds unless they were designed to handle both materials. Even then, the resulting PBT keycaps would be a little smaller due to more shrinkage when cooling.
I wouldn't mind a set of dyesub PBT semi-matte SA profile caps, though :)
[EDIT] Penumbra has 1.25x semi-matte Row 4 caps as I mentioned in the Retro SA thread, so I'm sure they're possible, no need to avoid them AFAIK. [/EDIT]

I am surprised, they look pretty shiny. I thought semi-matte would be less shiny.
Looking forward to have it on board! :D
If everything goes smooth should we expect a delivery by the end of the month or the beginning of the next?

hey guys
really sorry for the poor quality pictures, but i think they are enough to surmise this came out greatShow Image(http://i.imgur.com/6X6P3Qo.jpg)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/KINIca0.jpg)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/lEfKuVk.jpg)
shipping to us tomorrow
ill take glory shots as soon as we have them on hand, and they will be shipped out immediately
Good to know, thanks Bunny!
I am surprised, they look pretty shiny. I thought semi-matte would be less shiny.
Looking forward to have it on board! :D
If everything goes smooth should we expect a delivery by the end of the month or the beginning of the next?
everything is prepped for these, so they will go out as soon as we get them
also, semi matte you can basically read as the word gloss, they are very very glossy, i voted for matte but was overruled
all that being said, the poor picture and light are causing the shine in the pics, they have the same finish as penumbra if you wanna check out some pics of that
this is the only pic i have to hand sadly

Usually I never get amazed when visiting here aside from hearing some newb whining about their order or what not, BUT these really took me by surprise.
SIMPLY perfect as is, who would think Grey-tones supplied with Orange Legends could be so SEXY beyond belief. You've done good here CTRL/ALT designed them to be essentially the BEST looking thus far released from SP's factory.
That is why any CTRL/ALT key-sets are this good to own because at your fingertips you'll have the most stylish key-caps ever made and presented to the public, so if you've got spares - start selling the extras on your website soon.

Getting a brand new Das 4C Professional Keyboard in TKL format so these babies should fit nicely :thumb: .
Never thought of ever getting a Das Keyboard but this current version is actually quite okay looking, although I will have to replace the springs with some Korean 85g's.

Excitement overload, waay better than the renders, jesus o.0! Must touch them
what you trying to say about our mockups bro
hehe
I'll admit, I wasn't impressed by the renders for this set either. But the finished product looks great. It makes me wonder why anyone would choose to make an SA set with all row 3.
Post by: suicidal_orange on Thu, 16 April 2015, 02:19:52
...See those 4 Geek Hack keys? On a row 3 set you only need 2 as you can put them anywhere. That row 4 1x FN key? Won't be perfect on the bottom row. Row 2 backspace alternatives? Won't fit on the number row...
It makes me wonder why anyone would choose to make an SA set with all row 3.
If you're playing about with custom layouts an all row 3 set gets you complete flexibility without duplicating keys which is great, but contour feels better. I (will) have the keys, now I'm going to design a board around them. Seems the best way to do it!
Thanks JD and all at [ctrl]alt, can't wait to get my fingers on these. I'm still hopeful for a birthday delivery :)

Wish I bought 3x infinity's, I bought 2x, now I have like ~5 gorgeous sets, but only 2 candidate keyboards, it would've been fun to build each of them with unique properties for different moods
Is the row4 extra shift 1.75x? (otherwise I need to get some blanks, but as far as I see, the keycaps support the infinity layout too)

I'm thinking completely custom, something like this (please excuse inaccurate colours and legends :p)

Was hoping for perfect symmetry and straight columns but if I go ANSI I'll have to use a row 3 shift, and hybrid leaves me with an unused traditional backspace key...

Well the offset the same as on a standard board so it should be familiar, if a little strange looking. But the arrows? You're right, not good. But they're no better embedded in the bottom of a numberpad so I can't see any way round it :(
I wasn't talking about a lack of molds but duplication - on closer inspection this kit has 5 geek hack keys and 3 escapes, these 5 duplicate slots could have been used to make 2 1x ctrls and a second 1x alt and shift adding matrix support at no extra cost to the buyer. More layouts covered = more buyers = lower cost (in standard PMK group buy format) so I can see why people are tempted to do it.MoreRenders are flat and completely uniform in colour while the real thing is 3D and reflective.

I do not. Still need to put my planck together as I just received it this week and have some other projects that I need to finish first.

The SA keys are smooth and they are made from ABS.

Nothing wrong with the mockup, the colours do look pretty damn close to Cody's pic - if the mockup was bad we wouldn't have bought it! But a top down drawing will never look as good as a pic of the actual caps with shiny corners, shadows and a reflection from the plate :)What was the problem with the mockup?

This is my current wallpaper. What a day for keyboards. Penumbra looks like it was designed for Swill's brass/wood keyboard that he posted in his plate builder thread today. And Bunny posted Cody's Gon that makes it look like Hack'd by Geeks was designed for Cody's board. I can't imagine that set looking better on any other keyboard, but I look forward to people trying to convince me otherwise.

I was thinking I'd put them on my TeX Yoda, but I don't want t to cut the keys for the trackpoint. Any suggestions? Are there any junk, blank or defective keys I could use for the trackpoint keys?

Hard to speculate from the online pictures: http://imgur.com/a/3yroA - in my case, the plate is going to be stainless steel, so I'm not entirely sure how the setup would turn out :)

Take the risk; it could be awesome. If not you can de/re-anodize it, sell it, etc.

Even with the flexibility of the hack'd by geeks set, it seems I will have to mix some rows, probably only the Esc/Del at the top row, so it could turn out interesting, they will both be row2 instead of row1 (there is a row1 esc, but it seems like a good idea to use the row2 one to accompany the row2 del :)
Honestly, I'm buying a 3rd infinity just for this keyset, questioning my decisions regularly
I would make it much simpler for myself If I was able to skip this set, as I have a lot invested in DSA keycaps, the sculptured and thicker SA's might ruin the thin DSA's for me :)

Isn't this row mismatch what the Geek Hack keys are for? :)

Orange Tex case looks good with raw stainless plate.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/BBB5nSG.jpg)
Case, caps, and rest are three different shades of orange, but still look nice together. :)
That indeed looks very beautiful, thanks for the picture, I was intending to get a silver case instead, but after seeing that picture, it's most probably going to be an orange one

suicidal_orange, for some reason I'm obsessed with keycap labels, can't get myself to use incorrectly labeled keys, I think it might be nice tho, since the keys are functionally different, the difference in height could be even beneficial

It's not like you're asking to ship next day air it in a wooden crate full of Build-a-Bear dolls for protection.
Just use a different shipping option. Not a big deal.

cody has a fire up his butt with this stuff sir, he is super keen to get it all out, so if he can get back to the office tonight he will, it only needs one more short session to finish it off

The 2.25/2.75 shifts seem to be row3, yet the additional 1.75 shift looks like it's row4, is this the case?

I missed them, but there seems to be Row3 1.75 Ctrl + blanks, so there seems to be more than enough keys to experiment / find an optimal selection/alignment
I really like Ctrl Alt's keycap selections (Ivan's too, although I haven't joined one of his group buys yet), I just wish you guys included 1.25 CMD's or blanks with the Hyperfuse GMK too :)

BunnyLake - I purchased one of the extra sets you had. I'm all paid up. Am I also part of this batch shipping? Super excited
sorry guys, havent been around all day and im a bit backed up on pms
about 70% of this has shipped, and has already been dropped to the post office
the remainder of the orders made on the site are being packed and shipped now and should all be completed tonight, and pm orders will follow shortly after
the above post should answer the question adequately enough, however cody didnt get to finish the other 30% last night in the end
so as with the posts i made a few above, thatll either happen tonight or this weekend

I just received my set. Looks great! However, it seems as if the right shift key's stem has an issue. The shift key is slightly tilted in the plane of the keyboard, about -2 degrees tilt. Small but enough for me to notice. Possibly a manufacturing defect?
hey sir
sorry to hear that, if you could please take some pics of the issue and pm them to me, i dont have a set o nhand yet but ill get cody to compare it for me to what he has, if its a single key fault ill get it replaced for you, if its a more widespread issue ill speak to sp and see what can be done

just occured to me to mention that the shifts are r3 and the rest of the keys on that row are r4, im assuming you know that and it isnt the issue, but just throwing it out there as something so you can check it against the other shift

Left column is Novatouch, Middle Column is Royal Kludge, Top Right is Royal Kludge with stock shift keycap.
Unfortunately I don't have any other MX-compatible keyboards to do more comparisons. Anyone else with multiple SA keysets can test out and compare the long shift keys to see if it's not just me and my keyboards.

I had a suspicion that it could be due to SP's SA molds causing the misaligned stem, so I grabbed the long shift from my other SA sets (Pulse and Calm Depths) and compared them on my Novatouch and Royal Kludge. It seems my suspicions may be correct. See for yourself:Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/Yv1JVSN.png)

That's such an extremity, I've noticed that people just don't pay much attention to keycap alignments / mis-aligned switches/keycaps etc. But obviously the pictures you posted are extreme and very hard not to notice
Very curious what the result is going to be
It's only quite noticeable if one looks closely at near top-down angle. I only noticed it because I happened to put just the Enter and Shift key on first.
In any case it's a minor quirk and it doesn't detract from the SA sets as a whole.

Could be an SP manufactured defect :o . Usually when they pop the key out without waiting for the ABS to fully solidify and remain structurally stable. Maybe due to the vast orders they started ramping up ejection times from the molds so they could finish the job quicker. Seen this type of defect before at a factory in Sydney when they made up for lost time by just throwing out the pieces quickly into a collection bin and before you knew it hundreds of pieces had been deformed in some way.
Get Melissa to speak with the Q/A supervisor to rectify it, by re-making the keys again with stable curing times for each piece.

Yeah that's the thing. I don't have any MX boards on me. I'm hoping someone else who receives their Hack'd set can verify.
What Elrick said is a possibility. The right shift key is very long so maybe there's a problem with the manufacturing process.

I also have the same impression, happens with 3d-printing a lot too, whatever the plastic type is, if you rush to remove the piece, it definitely gets warped if it's not entirely cold
Yet, they have been molding keys for quite some time, they obviously experienced these issues at extreme levels with the Dolch spacebars etc. so it's extremely illogical for them to re-make the mistake, since they mold plastic for years, one would expect the end result to be perfected 10's of years ago

It's entirely possible my keyboards are the issue. I'm also thinking it might be possible that one of SP's molds have the misalignment such that only certain batches of SA sets have this problem, and I just happened to have sets all made from that mold. Whether other people have this issue with their sets will determine if it's just me or SP.

I don't know if this is helpful or not, but I checked my Varmilo TKL with Pulse installed and it does show a slight angle on the right Shift but not nearly as extreme as in your photo. Could be a combination of SP's manufacturing tolerance AND something in your board(s) conspiring to mess up that key.
Post by: ghostjuggernaut on Fri, 24 April 2015, 21:49:49
Have you checked any other keys in that position? Not that they will fit perfectly, but you could see if the others are offset as well. That way you know if it is the key or the stem on the board.found a pic i had of calm from ages ago, which also doesnt seem to have the issueShow Image(http://i.imgur.com/ICAZOxU.jpg)

Probably just some gnomes that come into your house at night and mess stuff up for the sheer fun of it
Damn gnomes messing with my keyboard stuff. Is nothing sacred?

BunnyLake - I purchased one of the extra sets you had. I'm all paid up. Am I also part of this batch shipping? Super excitedsorry guys, havent been around all day and im a bit backed up on pms
about 70% of this has shipped, and has already been dropped to the post office
the remainder of the orders made on the site are being packed and shipped now and should all be completed tonight, and pm orders will follow shortly after
the above post should answer the question adequately enough, however cody didnt get to finish the other 30% last night in the end
so as with the posts i made a few above, thatll either happen tonight or this weekend
Thanks Bunnylake!

Have you checked any other keys in that position? Not that they will fit perfectly, but you could see if the others are offset as well. That way you know if it is the key or the stem on the board.
That's a good idea, not sure why I didn't think of that. I just tested out the left shift and enter on the right shift position and they seemed fine. I then tried putting the right shift keycap on the spacebar position, and the skew is still apparent. So this confirms that it's the shift keycap's stem that's the issue, not the keyboard.

Interesting. So the stem itself is rotated, not the stabs. I doubt the mold is the problem, but it is strange that you have 2 nearly identical misprints. Maybe the cooling/setting process is the culprit of random deformation...

edit: mine was also on a novatouch

however, I am missing a row 1 "1" key and have an extra row 1 "0" key
otherwise, set looks great :thumb:

thanks very much sir, ill get that replacement key sorted for you, and forward this shift info on to sp and see if they will replace them for us
sp are normally good at rectifying issues for us, although with the guy who found it first, he seemed to have the issue with every SA set some maybe its just a mould issue, either way ill get on to them and see what they can do

I also possibly have two extra arrow keys? A down and a right.The arrows are good but you have them both upside-down - one's a backspace and the other is a different row up arrow as it's more comfortable (try it and you'll agree :) )
p.s that USB cable is perfect - where's it from?!

Connecting the dots, he makes the cables himself
I'm going to receive the set in 2-3 weeks, it will go through relatively a painful import process, these issues really demotivate me, If I have a missing key, it would probably delay my setup ~2 weeks more

On another note are the F and J keys meant to be deep dish? Mine are not but I can't remember if they are supposed to be.
The mockup on CTRLALT would lead me to believe they are supposed to be deep dish. Can anyone confirm? Is there a chance that it is very sleight?

fwiw -- i love this set more than anything. good bye dolch dsa.. you've been real.
Going off topic, I'm also using a Clear V60 currently, the default keycaps are supposed to be bad, but they are actually very good, they somehow absorb the sounds extremely well
The V60 has very crude cherry stabs, even with modding + clipping + lubing, they are pretty harsh, the friction seems high, I've tested a DSA keycap on the backspace, and ran back to the original keycaps, with the DSA keycap it was impossible not to hear the friction / the stabiliser slide
The question: How are the SA keycaps from this perspective, do they absorb the sounds well, are bottom outs thocky / enjoyable? :)

The question: How are the SA keycaps from this perspective, do they absorb the sounds well, are bottom outs thocky / enjoyable? :)
So I didn't even try the stock keycaps. I switched from the DSA Dolch immediately (from a Poker 2.) The DSA Dolch's have WASD blue o-rings. I didn't have any desire to take the rings off for these keys, and surprisingly enough, they are more quiet than the DSA and have more thock. Maybe all the extra space in these keycaps helps with that sound. These keycaps have me rethinking my plans. Might sell my Infinity order, my Pexon 60% case and just buy a new case. v60 + Hack'd + Green or Orange TEX case = happy feelings.
I am also digging the smooth texture of these over the Dolch, as well as the profile. Scattered wine-addled thoughts.
PS. After rereading your question.. the backspace, enter and shift.. still sound a little loose.. but its not as bad as with DSA, IMO.

Thanks for sharing your experience, V60 stabs are ..., however they are easy to get used to
I'm also experiencing similar dilemmas, but I've invested a lot in infinity's, so not backing down :)

Haha! I'm at a very similar place, V60 is lovely, it's a keyboard to settle with, yet the keycap sets complicate things a lot
I was ready to use infinity's with DSA keycaps for some time, the sculptured and thick SA's will likely ruin me

Yeah... I kinda love the SA after typing on it for a bit. Also quality wise, the Hack'd doubleshot is so thick. Couple random keys but showing the thickness + finish compared to the SP DSA Dolch.

non-sculptured seems easy to get right in terms of aesthetics/keycap variety, yet from a usability perspective misclicks are more common, from my limited experience with DSA sets
That's why I'm a bit concerned this set is going to bind me to sculptured/thick SA's :) (It's hard to degrade once your standards are elevated)
A swift Penumbra re-run would be perfect at this time :)

This A-hole has been waiting for this with great enthusiasm and the package is making it's way to this arse-pit country known as Australia.
Should of known that CTRL/ALT always deliver their key-sets before anyone else on this planet. Love them for being so efficient and quick and showing everyone else how it's done :thumb: .
Now comes the great wait through our shipping services especially here in Australia where everything that's shipped to me is thoroughly inspected and checked like I'm importing drugs or illegal implements, the customs rat-bags who seem to target me as their Number One person to harass simply because they can do it.
Despite living here I still get all my CTRL/ALT packages which goes to show no matter the difficulties, nothing stops them from actually sending your keys to every 3rd world nation on the map.

Imports are always painful, the wait is excruciating, the customs visits are soul-sucking, here, they also manually delay packages from some countries, luckily US isn't one of them
I decided to take extra risks this time and ship the package with Fedex/DHL with avoidance routines, worst case, it would get shipped back and I could retry with USPS instead, best case, I will have my hack'd by geeks set / case / infinity plate/pcb in a week
Sometimes I get the urge to hop a plane and manually retrieve items myself by shipping them to an intermediary/free/relaxed country, not logical tho, better pay 100 bucks to UPS/DHL etc to handle the customs - some time ago, UPS handled customs for free, those were the days (they would ask for documents online, handle the procedures and bring the item(s) to your doorstep in 1-2 days)

How does sculptured SA's compare to all row 3 ones?
non-sculptured seems easy to get right in terms of aesthetics/keycap variety, yet from a usability perspective misclicks are more common, from my limited experience with DSA sets
That's why I'm a bit concerned this set is going to bind me to sculptured/thick SA's :) (It's hard to degrade once your standards are elevated)
A swift Penumbra re-run would be perfect at this time :)
This is my first SA sculpted and wow it's quite satisfying. I think if the deep dish f and j keys get sorted, I would have less misclicks. Definitely agree with SL89 about all row 3 feeling like a tall substantial DSA profile.

quick update
sp are replacing the shifts and making the scoops for us
they said they are working on it now so they will be ready soon, how we go about distributing them i dont know yet, but they are being made and replaced and that is great
i have also noticed several orders already with the odd missing key, we also messaged sp about this as it seems a little more than the odd key here and there that we usually get
they said they are of course happy to replace these, however we really need to do the missing keys all at once, so when you get your set, please let me know if there are any keys missing, if so ill be making a list, and once all the sets have arrived, ill get all missing keys ordered from sp together

What about shipping costs for the replacement keys? Does Ctrl Alt have to eat that?

Round 5 has me conditioned to be patient. So no rush, I feel like i was the last of the PM orders so I am likely dead last lol. Also +1 on Elrick's cat idea :p
there are 7 pm orders, 2 have been sent so only 5 more to get out
cody has tentitively said he will be going to the office today to get them out, but if not today he should be there tomorrow

My Hacked set came in yesterday with my shirt and key chain. Everything looks so amazing I haven't gotten a chance to put it on a board or check the set yet but I took a couple of quick pictures. First off JD, Bunny and Cody thank you so much guys the set looks and feels amazing! I am really impressed on how good it looks. Bunny thank you for the extras ;) I've been working alot and I have had recent car trouble so I have been a little down and out but I just wanted to let you know when I pried open that box and saw the ctralt shirt(love the colors by the way) key chain and most of all the key set I had a grin from ear to ear! Thanks everyone at ctralt and everyone who had something to do with this GB I can't wait to put It on one of my boards :thumb:

That'd be nice if they could fix the shifts. I always thought it was just an issue with their molds or something they couldn't fix. All of my SA sets have the same crooked shift issue. As I mentioned before it seems to be barely noticeable on Cherry stabs though.

Yeah it's impressive how well the Cherry stabs hold it in place correctly without adding friction. The Novatouch stabs do nothing to hold it straight. Costar is somewhere in between.

LOL... I've been thinking Orange Dolch the whole time...
Centered ORANGE (OAS) legends on GREY (GE) and VERY DARK GREY (GX) base, similar to Skidata legends on the Dolch colorway.

Question to Bunny/anyone else in my position: I ordered both GMK Hyperfuse and this set in the same order. Will they ship together (after GMK Hyperfuse finishes) or separately?
Since Hyperfuse isn't ready yet, I believe Bunny mentioned you could ask him for seperate shipping of the 2 sets. You'll end up paying for shipping twice, though.
ps. I'm in the same boat, and I might ask for seperate shipping as well.

this is correct, if you have both sets on yoru order, that is to combine shipping, if you would like them shipped seperately, this is possible but you would need to pay the additional shipping charge

lulz :D
(A much better set than DSA Dolch in any case, I find the lack of CMD/SUPER alternative's of the DSA Dolch unacceptable, It's especially frustrating that MassDrop got them pulled out of the keyshop to run them as a drop but they refuse to improve it the slightest)
I think this crooked SA shift issue of SP should especially be bad for the Cherry stabs, it probably stresses/warps the stem on those applications although there aren't visible clues
Post by: Oobly on Wed, 29 April 2015, 08:39:17
I suspect the rotation of the centre stem is fine, and it's the positions / angles of the outer ones that's causing the issue, which is why it's less noticable on Cherry stabs.

When they're born you are their whole world, she shall need her father but during those teenage years to come, you cease to be even an after thought in her mind.
So enjoy the early years when they actually listen to everything you say and watch everything you do because these are the BEST times in your life, that will never again be repeated.
Don't miss out on being a real Father now rather than a Drop-in-Dad between appointments, every child hates being "the waymire".

Your daugther is very cute! I've been telling my wife the keyboards I buy are for my daughter - she doesn't believe me.

Thanks a lot for sharing that picture, I was wondering how the two looked together
How's the lipped 60% tex case for typing/aesthetics, does the lips bother you, does the aluminium freeze your thumbs or sth?
Thinking of buying some myself

Now I know what case to get. Thank you for the pic!
And cody, thank you for your dedication, but keycaps can wait. It really sucks when little ones get hurt. Hoping for a fast recovery for your daughter.

My tracking number is still on the "Shipping Label Created" state since the 26th. Shall I pm you to give you information in order to receive the new tracking number or should I just wait? I just wonder if any further actions are required on our side. :)
You have a cute girl Cody. What's her name?

One other question: which way do the arrow keys go? I have mine all lined up to resemble the DEL/END/PAGE DOWN orientation. Is that correct?
Post by: BunnyLake on Thu, 30 April 2015, 13:26:02
I put these on my Noppoo Spyder 87 Lolita, and they sound (what a difference) and feel great. Only problem is the spacebar; it is sticky on here and I had to go back to the stock spacebar. Anyone else with this keyboard having the same issues? I didn't see any interference with the other keys. I think it's because of the Cherry style stabilizers. Maybe filing the plastic around the tabs that go into the stabilizer would help?

if you take the space bar off sir, and pop 2 little squares you cut out from the baggy the caps come in, a bit smaller than a centimetre square maybe, pop them on the top of the 2 stabs, then push the spacebar down, this normally fixes any space bar issues i have, i actually do it on all my boards now just out of routine more than anything

A little piece of scotch tape works great too, but I also had to do this on my costar stabilizers (quickfire), and didn't have to apply any tape for cherry stabilizers.

I have done this with loose costar stabilizers, but these kailh stabilizers seem to have a different problem. I'll look more closely to see what's up, but I don't think it's an issue of the tabs not fitting tightly enough in the slots, but of the rectangular stabilizer box not being quite wide enough to let the key move freely.

My order arrived but I am away, so will open it Sunday, but what's with the shifts and "scoops"? Was there a problem with these? What's a scoop?
The big right shifts are slightly twisted (lots of pics a couple of pages back) and the F and J keys are supposed to have scoops (big dents in the top sufface) so you can find them by touch, but the originals didn't have them.
SP have made replacements and sent them to Cody but how they're being distributed is still up for discussion - I think they will probably wait until everyone reports missing keys/full set received to avoid sending three packages :)

its been posted in the thread a few times now, but codys daughter broke her leg during the last packing session, so some things hadnt been dropped off

Actually, those are vintage blacks, lubed, with 65g gold springs from sprit, and pink switch stickers from TechKeys. I stole the idea from jwaz, who had me build up his Viper with those. :)

Can't decide between Clear's and Green's tho, Clear's are risk-free, silent, soothing, yet I have a growing desire for Green's/clicks
It's going to be my daily driver for at least a month, so clears are the safe-option, yet after using them for a month, they started to bore me a bit with their perfection :)
SA keycaps are long, yet the stem holder isn't recessed, if the stem holder was recessed a bit, they would be the perfect keycaps with their thickness and profile, in terms of sound dynamics, oem/cherry keycaps are a bit better in this aspect, while DSA is the worst (I'm a bit surprised no-one grind'ed the stem holders on D/SA's as a potential mod yet) (the greens are sometimes too strong, so it's good to have the sound isolation/thickness)
I guess I will try and assess when they arrive, in the meantime, I'm open to suggestions :)
(I'm also thinking of using the keyboard to send mouse commands, with the tmk firmware. from this point of view, hysteresis of the greens might not be preferable)

You're right, it does, you made me look at the numpad again, it's totally fine, just the picture... ha ha..

I guess I see a tiny bit of a wider gap on one end, but honestly I would literally never have noticed that if you hadn't pointed it out.
I've seen your posts about Infinity boards looking crooked, and I've seen your posts about chasing down ping in multiple boards. I think in both regards your tolerance is much, much lower than average. This is what it is, and I hope I don't sound judgmental or anything, because that's not my intent. Everybody's different. But most people don't notice/aren't bothered by this kind of stuff.

Haha, Indeed my tolerance is low, I'm aware, I generally do my best to minimise these issues and move on/settle later on, the switch placements for example are easily fixable, both during and after construction, same goes for the ping, the initial struggle is painful, yet it pays later on
Going to receive this set and the infinity tomorrow if everything goes according to plan, I'm very excited

Is that the third infinity you scrounged for or your two from Massdrop? I think we were both part of the last Massdrop buy but I haven't heard a peep from MD yet.lol, that 0 also looks tilted

It's a V1 I bought from /r/mechmarket, I couldn't wait for the drop2, bought the V1 + a silver vortex case to combine and use with this keyset, couldn't risk going for an orange case :)
I went all in on infinities, I had 2 on this drop, bought an additional 2, going to build them with different switches, put on the DSA keycaps I collected and go silent for a while
Sculptured keycaps doesn't mix well with non-sculptured ones in my opinion, so the V1/hack'd by geeks complicated things for me, I was planning on settling with DSA keycaps, now I'm not sure what my plans are, if the SA keycaps prove to be far superior, I won't be able to use the DSA's anymore

Oh, and I obviously need a numpad....Ugh, I need one of those Lambda keys.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/vJ3TdMo.jpg)
Post by: KHAANNN on Mon, 04 May 2015, 10:13:55
1) ABS SA is pretty similar to ABS DSA, as the stem holder is levelled with the keycap, the sound isn't absorbed at extreme levels, a good thing in my opinion, as they are on par :)
2) Row1 keycaps are huge, the sculpture is most prominent on row1, the other rows are at similar levels, only their tilts are different, I might be ok. with buying all row3 SA sets in the future
3) I was intending to use row2 Esc and Delete at the top row, however this is not logical, row1/row2 difference is pretty high, I ended up using Row1 Esc and Row1 "-", looks great
3.a) On the other hand, row3 and row4 mixes very well, the difference isn't noticeable, row2/row3/row4 is pretty much at the same height, while row1 is distinctly longer
4) Tested SA keycaps with multiple switches, fall in love with MX Blues + SA's, the softness of blues go really well with the bulky SA's, the combined experience is very mellow and soothing
5) As the keycaps are very long, o-rings, trampoline mods should be avoided, they really shine when they are free to travel all the way
Couldn't decide between Clears or 62G Green's yet, I don't have Blue's on hand, otherwise I would definitely use the blue switches

I was not complaining as I did not expect a shipping notice. I was just trying really hard this whole time to be patient and not to bug you busy Ctrl Alt folks, and I'm just encouraging others to do the same.
Anyway, when I picked up my packages this morning (I usually get several a day) and I saw the name "Cody" on the return address of that little square box, I squealed like a schoolgirl.

Exactly, using federal Postal Services will always take more time to arrive at any destination or sometimes you get lucky and receive the package as soon as possible.
Would only worry when three or four months pass and nothing has arrived from your email postal details or when Cody let's you know it's been shipped on that date. Remembered in the past a certain 'someone' had said to me personally via pm here on Geekhack he sent it, six months went by still nothing then a year went by still nothing, yet the scumbag pissed off from ever running another Group Buy which was good for everyone here nowadays.
Some people are born lying scumbags but NOT Cody or Bunny, these guys say it's been sent on that date and you can literally count on an analog clock when it's due to arrive. Everything I have ever bought from these guys has been delivered to my residence here in Sh1town, Nowheresville, so everyone can count on shipping when dealing with CTRL/ALT. 100% trustful and decent compared to most others that I have ever dealt with here on Geekhack.

There are plenty of good, honest people on here who far outnumber the scumbags. But where Ctrl Alt seems to stand out, in my limited experience, is that they have their acts together. They are experienced, organized, and good communicators. This is the other part of trustworthiness. An honest person who is a bad administrator can be just as untrustworthy as a dishonest person, the only difference being they cost time/money/frustration by accident instead of on purpose. This is all especially true when dealing with large orders.
So congratulations and thanks to all involved for being part of something great.

it has been shipped sir, cody has already posted that all pm orders have shipped
and i had posted we dont have a way to send shipping notifications to pm orders, cody has posted that if pm orders contact him he will be able to get them tracking

Loving my set, but weren't the F & J supposed to have a slightly different homing profile? At least, they're different looking in the mockup image.
might be worth you reading through the thread a little
however the short version is
sp didnt make them
we found this out when the sets arrived
we had them made
we now have them
we are working out a way to distribute these

You've lost your soul here on Geekhack Central. You shall never be normal once you taste that forbidden fruit known as CTRL/ALT Group Buys. Everything shall be dull and boring, nothing will feel the same again plus you shall always be hooked to every word and comment related to certain key-sets.
As you wipe your tears away with certain desperation and the urgent need to get these babies, just know that our supplier here known as the 'Bunnyman' shall be dispensing even more tantalizing sets within the near future.

They feel really nice. The Topre-clones aren't as tactile as the genuine article, but overall I like the feel of the board. And these caps feel as good as the thick PBT dyesubs that came with it. The profile took a little adjustment but now I really like it.

Order came in today, but unfortunately I got the full SP bonus pack (aka tilted shift and no scoops!). It has been a while since I have used caps that are generally untextured, but I really love the clean feeling of thick smooth ABS. The sculpt is very extreme, but it is very successful at creating a comfortable experience. Currently have them on a Novatouch and literally everything has a nice weighted smooth feeling to it. Much more so than the stock ABS on the nova. I'll put up some pictures soon, but first I have to swap some stems around for my artisans :p
sure you have seen, but we have the replacements for those keys from sp now and we will work out getting them to people shortly

Loving SA sculpted. Dare I say it feels better than gmk...
ARghh.....another SA feels better than gmk ignorance on display here ::) .
No such thing as one being better than another it's like making comparisons between Scarlett Johansson and Keeley Hazell, it can't be done.
Each key-set profile has it's strengths and weaknesses but instead of making newbish comparisons between them, why not simple ENJOY both of them at the same time?

There have been a lot of orange caps on this thread but that Volcanic is damn near perfect! Is it super rare and/or old or do I have a tiny chance of getting one? I guess most orange fans will be in on this buy so probably not...Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/L9nzOR9.jpg)
In other news, my Hack'd has departed the third place in the US so maybe it's actually on it's way here to sit in customs for another week or two. That would be nice!

Exactly, when they finally arrive get someone to take a photo of your face, I bet it's like a 5 year old getting his the present he always wanted 8) .
My Mrs says I look like a child when rummaging through the boxes of stuff when I arrive back home. The first boxes opened are always CTRL/ALT and after that extreme contentment, coupled with my true love, it doesn't get any better than this :thumb: .

Thanks for the key holder. It is much appreciated! It joined my keys right when I opened the package. :)
Regarding the keys are receiving I didn't get the scoops J and F or if I did I don't really see difference with the other key in the same row. I'll just wait and see how it goes once everyone received their order. :)
For the right shift, it doesn't seem to have problem, what do you guys think?

I got 3 differents profile esc key as well, is this normal? (I don't remember the final composition of the set ::) ).

Thanks Bunny, Cody, the rest of the Ctrl Alt team and JD. The key set is awesome! I just love it. I didn't expect it to change the feel of my board that much. The "Thock" is deeper and I don't hear the noise of the caps hitting the plate or (the switch housing). The noise is just pure love. The set is beautiful as well.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/HAyS67Q.jpg)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/NC8MOFe.jpg)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/P0by24S.jpg)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/gwsIpIb.jpg)

your set was sent prior to us getting the replacement keys from sp, so you dont have the fixed shift or scoops yet
and you are indeed meant to have all those escapes, they are in the mockup, its so people can use one on a fullsize board, 60% or jd40

If you refer to the shipping fees, personally I don't mind paying them. There are no reasons that you should pay them guys especially considering it is bubbled mail hence it is going to be cheap (I think) for people to pay them. However a cheap amount * 300 is not cheap anymore. :D

yeah that is really the decision
once cody gets the mailers, he is gonna weigh up the packages and gimme price on both conus and international, and then based on those figures ill either decide to eat the costs or ask people to chip in

Agree. No need to take a bath on this Bunny.
rather than waiting im actually being proactive today (guess im in an uncharacteristic mood lol)
putting together a google form now
basically just asking people order number, gh name address, if they want the scoops and shift, then asking if they would be prepared to cover shipping costs and if so what their paypal email is
whatever happens they will get shipped to anyone who wants them, regardless of whether or not they opt to cover shipping, but anyone that does it will be greatly appreciated
im sure it wont cost much to ship them, but even if its only a couple bucks for conus and a few more for international, its certainly gonna add up across all orders
ill post the form in a sec when its done

Done! No problem paying the shipping, it wasn't your fault so there's no reason you should have to eat all the shipping costs. My address is different than the original one the set was shipped to. I have the new one in the form, not sure if I still need to PM Bunny/Cody about it though.

Thanks for offering Suicidal_Orange BUT when you have people living here in Convict Town down under, you'll soon have a heart attack trying to foot the shipping bill for us lot here ;D .
Relax most here have no probs in paying for their own shipment because this wasn't CTRL/ALT's fault and SP were happy to provide the fixed keys so quickly.

I feel you too! I have been trying really hard not to spam him either. I had some confusion of having a PM order plus the comment regarding sending him a PM with address if you had a PM order. Then there was a comment about Hack'd being held if you had Hyper Fuse which I had, but I thought they might have meant the Miami Nights GB. Then I noticed my ZIP code was wrong on my Hyper Fuse order....
Cody is probably still trying to sort out the novels I have been sending to his inbox. However I "think" everything should be good (You can modify shipping address for Hyper-Fuse on Ctrl.alt and I'm under the impression my Hack'd set is just waiting for Hyper Fuse after seeing more than a few comments on this). :thumb:

Unfortunately it's not perfect as I'd hoped, I'm missing a couple of keys and one of them is a must have - the 1u backspace arrow. The other is the light grey Geek Hack row 3 which would be nice to have, but I could live without.
On the plus side I got an extra down arrow (or alternate row up arrow? Is there even a difference??) which I'd have tried to buy an extra of.
Guess I need to fill in the form after all?

My Hack'd has arrived and it looks just as good as the pics; the legends are clear even in low light which is awesome - I'm giving it a bit of a type-in period to ensure everything's down tight before posting pics :D

My first impressions so far:
* They look great and I love the smooth textured feeling
* The typing feel is excellent too: very heavy and very "thocky". I think that they complement a heavier switch type like mx black very well.
* I'm not 100% convinced about the sculpting, or at least with some particular row choices made on this set. I like that the alphanumeric section is (mostly) curved, but I'm less a fan of the function keys in Row 3 profile. It feels like they are hiding behind the numrow and I would definitely have preferred them in Row 1 as well. I also feel like the bottom row in Row 3 profile clashes with the zxcv row in Row 4 profile, the smooth curve from the 1-q-a-z rows suddenly stops and drops off, like you're coming at the end of a ski ramp.
At the risk of going off on a tangent here, I think my ideal row distribution for an SA set would be as follows:
Function row: R1
Numrow: R1
qwerty row: R2
asdf row: R3
zxcv row: R3
bottom row: R4 (*)
This way you have a completely smooth transition between every row, and as an added bonus, there's no weirdness with the shift keys being the wrong profile.
(*) I'm not sure if an R4 space bar is possible.

The reasons I chose those profiles are these:
1. Many people like to use artisan caps on the F-row, which look better with Row 3 profile than Row 1 profile. However, if I had it to do over again, I would probably make this Row 1.
2. The bottom row 1.25-unit mods were supposedly not available in Row 4 profile with semi matte finish. That's why they had to be made in Row 3 profile, so the other bottom row keys were done in Row 3 profile to match. However, that was bad information given from SP. They actually do have the molds for Row 4 semi matte 1.25u keys.
So, had I known this at the time, the profile would have been 1-1-2-3-4-4. Just like SA Retro is going to be.
* Spacebar is always Row 3-ish profile, and 2.25u and 2.75u shifts only exist in Row 3 profile, not Row 4.

But why make the zxcv row in R4 profile, when:
1) it clashes with the shifts that are only available in R3 profile
2) it makes a non-smooth transition with a bottom row that's also in R4 profile.
Wouldn't 1-1-2-3-3-4 be better?

Because you don't type on the bottom row very often, and it's more important to have the sculpted area be the alphas section. That's why you see X-1-2-3-4-X.
And unfortunately, there isn't much we can do about the shifts, unless we can come up with $8000+ to pay for new molds.

Even if just 5 with 100 of each sold it's only $16 for the mold, plus maybe $4 for the actual caps - $20 doesn't much in this hobby, I know I'd pay it. But then I don't have all 5 sets...

really its not something we should be paying for
its been something both long requested for and promised by sp, and its a piece of tooling as a business they will make money from
when privately funding tooling with sp, the people buying it (us) would have 2 options, firstly, you can make it private, so only the person paying for it can use it, unless they grant permission to someone else to use it, or you can make it public
both options suck
nobody wants to hold this as there own, it should be available to everyone, but with it being available to everyone, we shouldnt have to pay for it

Sure, we could do that. Two shifts at $4000 per mold is $8000. About 100 orders for a set of shifts, let's say $5 per pair.ok guys, could anyone missing the scoops and with the crooked right shift'Cos it's not on this page yet :thumb:

Your total for an order of two shift keys is $85 plus shipping. Everyone good with that?

Especially since I feel that the difference between the row keys and the shift is unnoticeable in terms of feel and in terms of aesthetic noticeable only if you at the keyboard profile and focus on that part. I don't think it is worth the investment IMHO.

I got the bubble mailers Saturday.

I have not received my set yet, and thus have no idea if anything is missing, or if I need scopps, replacement right shift or anything!
Post by: SL89 on Sun, 17 May 2015, 22:41:18
Sure, we could do that. Two shifts at $4000 per mold is $8000. About 100 orders for a set of shifts, let's say $5 per pair.ok guys, could anyone missing the scoops and with the crooked right shift'Cos it's not on this page yet :thumb:
please fill out this form

also, if you fill out the form, could you please quote this post and say you have done it, not for my benefit, but to maximise the chances of people seeing the form
What about if SP knew there were sales to be had - have enough sets been done to do an IC for row 4 shifts in all previously run colourways and get a significant order?
Filled out the form! OHHH ROW 4 SHIFT
Can there be a separate GB for Row 4 shifts? I think there'd be enough interest :)
Your total for an order of two shift keys is $85 plus shipping. Everyone good with that?
Sorry, awhitedev. I don't mean to be sarcastic toward you at all. It's simply a situation we can't really comprehend.
Surely they know the demand is there for them right? Maybe they will invest in the tooling themselves at some point. Though if they have not already then I guess that speaks volumes. This same issue comes up with every SA groupbuy it seems.

Not sure if this is the proper place to ask this but I had ordered an OG shotty cap along with the hackd buy and have received my keyset some time ago already, in the packaging was a note saying that not all items were shipped (assuming they meant the cap) and would be sent out when available but on the website it shows as both items shipped.
My question is will I be waiting much longer for the cap and am I going to be responsible for shipping costs again?
sorry about this, some of the store items were on hand with me instead of cody, rather than add waiting time to your order whilst i shipped stuff to cody, he sent orders along with that note, i had totally missed this one
if you pm me your order number ill get that shipped out to you at my own expense this week good sir

Inside I found the key-sets perfectly wrapped by Cody and it included every type of key to install into virtually any keyboard. Instantly installed the first set into an all Blue Filco and the Grey with the bright Orange had raped my eyeballs into oblivion. Perfect colour-way had been chosen by JD. I always wanted the key-set to stand out even at night and this baby delivers in spades, you can easily see the legends and the neutral grey background of the keys thrusts them into your field of vision easily.
CTRL/ALT has delivered BIG time on this set, if no one has bought into this yet, I truly feel sorry for you because you have no idea what a decent Colour-way can do for your visual and typing perception.
This is what makes Geekhack so great, implementing something truly special in the area of designing rare Key-sets..... Thank you CTRL/ALT 8) .

Personally the row1 and the glare was too much for me, especially in night lighting, where the glare from the monitor shines onto the keys
I promised my set to my brother, I tried to lure him to one of my DSA sets, as I think they would be easier to type on, however he was taken away by the hack'd by geeks set, I'm hoping, once his keyboard is complicated, he will use the set/keyboard for years, and keep it later on as a keepsake

Hoping that I am not the only one still waiting for my order. Haven't had a reply from here or the support page at all. Just wanted to clarify if my PM order is coming and not going to be held up with the Hyperfuse GB.
I also have PM order, and mine is in the post, although I don't expect to see it for another coulpe of weeks due to the usual international postage speed.

Bunny's collecting all the data from us relating to crooked keys that need to be re-ordered from SP so don't think it's ONLY Right Shifts that are in trouble.
He will send it all to SP requesting lots of extra keys to be re-made and when he receives them, he shall ship them all out to everyone who needs them. In BunnyLake everything we require shall be provided hence patience is the key here.
Even though I've got the crooked Right Shift and another sloppy key hanging low, I can still use the keyboard easily. Know SP has forgotten about basic Q & A issues relating to our key-set BUT they are obliged to fix it all quickly and hope they finally got that aspect of their business fixed before the next range of keys are made.

Enlightening, thanks, I was under the impression that the F/J/rshift's were already received
I unfortunately tested the keyset on a keyboard with crooked switches, I didn't re-tested them after I re-soldered the keyboard, at this point I'm hoping the right shift is the only crooked one :)

ALWAYS have a spare keyboard from a recognized manufacturer like Filco, Leopold, WASD or Cherry because you can easily see how they all look when installed.
SP use to be known as a 'dodgey' manufacturer in the distant past, hence you need to quickly see what you have received from them and when to contact someone, to repair any possible mistake(s).
For some reason they dropped the ball on this particular key-set release, hence I'm not going to light my flame and pick up the trusty old pitchfork just yet...... ::)

Haha :)
That's indeed a very very good advice
I actually have a WASD V2 that I use just for testing, but I'm too lazy to put on all the keycaps to test right now
As an example, I thought even after I fixed the keyboard, the switches were mis-aligned, turns out it was the Eve set I was using, 1u keycaps had varying footprints that made the switches look mis-assembled, I could only verify after testing them on the V2
Indeed the SP quality is questionable, the Dolch set is perfect, the Eve set is ..., to make the matter worse, they side molded the W key while they bottom mold every other key, which makes it an odd one out in the group, I think every key should molded from the top, so their molding points are hidden, yet I just don't understand SP

Sorry, awhitedev. I don't mean to be sarcastic toward you at all. It's simply a situation we can't really comprehend.
The crazy part here is that if they have in-house CNC machines for making the molds, the cost should really be minimal, it's just the labour time to do the design and the material cost and I suspect they could use the 3D model of say, backspace and update it to 2.25x and 2.75x size on the PC easily enough. After all, Row 4 are the same as inverted Row 2.
If they outsource their moldmaking to an external engineering firm, then I can understand how a mold costs more, but $4000 per mold? That's a bit steep. How did they get the proper molds made for the Row 3 Shifts? IIRC, the Round 4 Sphericals had incorrect sized Row 3 Shifts and Enter.
Post by: KHAANNN on Fri, 22 May 2015, 02:24:22
Again on DSA's, I don't get why they use smaller fonts on some extra keys, on the Dolch set for example, the "Caps Lock" uses the regular font, which covers the entire key, however for the same size, the "Control" key has a much smaller font, creates an unnecessary irregularity
I'm guessing the answers to all these problems is that they are pretty lazy and they don't give too much damn
Post by: Elrick on Fri, 22 May 2015, 03:11:31
A signature plastics bashing thread would be awesome, there are so many things I want to complain about :)
I'm guessing the answers to all these problems is that they are pretty lazy and they don't give too much damn
Also don't forget we are dealing with individuals here hence the Q & A changes with who's on tap at the production line. Can you imagine the absolute boredom of looking at each key out of millions to determine which ones are de-formed ? If this was in Japan they would assemble computers and lasers to measure each key and compare each one's dimensions via a laser, as it rolls by on a conveyor belt.
The failures get removed or dumped and recorded so that the lost keys can be re-made to make up the shortfall of the deformed (removed) stock. Hopefully one day in the future SP could afford such a set-up and avoid such losses in time and stock.

I spent 8 years as a CNC machinist, tool & die as well as moldmaking. $4,000 is a cheap mold. But you have to spend money to make money.

You should be able to take the stabilizer inserts out of the old keycaps and put them in the new ones.

Unfortunately they are glued in, I'm not sure how well and i dont want to trash the caps.
Post by: KHAANNN on Fri, 22 May 2015, 20:32:08
Even though I fasten them with paper, It's generally a good idea to use new ones with new keys
It feels like new ones are stiffer, while used ones are worned out, lubed, harder to fasten in place
I think it's a good idea to cache both cherry and costar stabs and parts, for DIY projects they prove to be very handy, they also go out of stock temporarily, which boosts the prices, the spacebar wire was out of stock at WASD a week ago, and they started being 5$ instead of 0.5$'s on mechanical keyboards immediately
One useful on topic information, as far as I remember, SA was loose similar to DSA, I recall fastening them in place with a small piece of paper similar to DSA's

I generally use double sided tape. But besides MK.com and WASD there are zero options. I'll bite the big one and wait it out i guess.
First time I'm hearing of double sided tape, does it render keycaps as non-cherry stab usable?
I haven't had any problems with paper-strong-fastening yet, it's very hard to pull them out and none got out during regular usage yet

Is this the Filco doubleshot SA set by any chance?
I was able to remove the glued in stabs by putting a kitchen knife under them and gently applying upwards pressure, using the keycap edge as leverage, and they came out easily.

Yes - I wasn't expecting that!
I have 2 large right Shift and scooped and non-scopped F and J.
Is there anything else I should be looking for?

Same thing! Was thinking I'd have to get them sent separately but pleasantly surprised when I see two shift keys in my bag of goodies :)

I put the set on my QFR at work today. I brought both right Shift in, fitted one, and it seems ok, so I'll leave it at that.

This is what I have always been saying, BuunyLake and his crew makes sure everyone get's their key-sets despite the extra costs that it entails upon them.
Any reasonable Geekhacker would of course done the decent thing and helped out with paying the small shipping cost so that CTRL/ALT isn't savagely buttraped by SP's mistake here.
If you want to receive the correctly made key-caps to complete your order then please pay the tiny shipping cost to your address because it's only fair.

I've noticed that many of the row1 keys are slightly tilted, similar to the tilted right shifts (I've actually noticed this before, but it was on another keyboard, I thought the issue was with the keyboard, I'm now now testing them on a factory built WASD V2)
Have anyone else noticed this?
Might post some pictures later on but I'm too lazy right now
(I also put the numpad keys on a leopold numpad with cherry mx blues, it's such a beauty right now, I'm convinced cherry mx blues are the optimal switch type for SA's after testing them on many switch types :)

YES, I have noticed one key on the Row 1 line being slanted downwards which is the ") 0" key alone.
The rest is alright (my batch) despite the right shift being askew in position, so SP had really fvcked up here. The truest sense of testing the straightness of your rows is to install them all into your Filco or WASD keyboard then looking down the individual rows with our eyes. You will notice if any keys are disjointed from the rest in line, and you must notify Bunny as soon as possible because SP is absolutely obliged to re-make a fresh batch correcting their mistakes.
Remember you don't pay anything for a re-make at all.

YES indeed, the MX Blues are nice when the SA's sit upon them. Also LOVE Green and Grey switches as well but all Clears with beefed up springs, can be a delight when used :thumb: .

I decided to test the SA keycaps once more before investing a significant amount on True Retro's

I was hoping to test HBG out before the last day of SA retro to see if the profile fits me. I'll have to debate on ordering the Retro set on the last day if my HBG set doesn't arrive by then.
Have you noticed if the sculpted profile makes any difference with keyboard angle?
Does the tilt on the keys affect its functionality much or is it just aesthetics?
Just wondering since I've never typed on SA before.

I was actually going to test that too, I will report once I do some testing, I will also inspect the tilted row1 issue further, as it is, most of them seems tilted by -5degrees, so it's not just one key, which would simplify things a bit
The sculpture is definitely extreme, for example, with DSA's, I use my 60% cases with bumped adhesives, with SA's, I might need to switch to non-bumped adhesives, which would complicated things a bit, it's not easy to replace those adhesives, the row1 is very sharp from the top, so a flat case might be optimal

YES when using any sculpted SA profile you need to always use a flat based keyboard surface otherwise you'll go insane typing uphill, when everything is suspended towards you ;) .

1) SA is very fun to type on, even on a WASD V2 with a built-in slope, the sculpture wasn't disturbing - +1 for my True Retro desire
1.1) I can't use cherry stabs with DSA keycaps, there is this plastic rubbing sound that disturbs me, however, cherry stabs shine with SA keycaps, similar for costars, SA keycaps are very stab friendly
2) On a white page, the illumination from the monitor glares too much on the glossy keys, is HBG glossy and Retro semi-matte // different?
3) The row1 keys look too excited, they are all tilted at random x/y/z directions, this seems like a major issue for those who care about this kind of stuff
Here are some photos:
Beauty:
[attach=1]
Beast:
[attach=2][attach=3][attach=4][attach=5]
I couldn't capture the row1 issue well, the sheer height of the row1 really amplifies any displacement, I'm guessing the length of the stem also amplifies molding/cooling issues a lot, and SP rushed these a bit, causing the issue

However, since it takes a while to get a group buy, I'm compelled to shop for more group buys because it takes a while before you get an order.

I am one of the nine. I have patience for days with this stuff; I'm a buy it and forget it kind of person. Then when it shows up I get all excited again. I am dying for them to arrive though. It will be a good day indeed when they do. I gave more of a donation rather than paying for shipping twice, so I think it is a win-win. :)

Yea, that's quite a wait. I must admit, I have to build a boards as well. I don't think putting these on my rk-9000s will cut it... Although hyperfuse might look alright on my white board.

Question... I have been using my hack'd set since I got it on my KUL. All is working amazingly fine except for the space bar... it seems to stick, and I think it's sticking on the stabilizers... this is weird, and I am relatively new to SA profile caps. Is this normal?
this is just general advice, but ive got in the habbit on all my spacebars of putting a little piece of either tape or a baggy on the top of the stabs, i do this on all my spacebars as a kinda quick fix for everything
whether i have a sticker or loose spacebar, it seems to be a 1 stop fix for everything with me, may not be the issue without me having more info, but certainly worth a try, as i say i do it to all my boards now just as standard whatever set im using

64rky, stick the tape/baggie on top of the stab stems, but cut it small so it fits inside the housing around it (crudely marked in red in my photo) or the tape will get hung up on it. I can't explain it, but so far so good in my 2 minutes of testing, no stick even if I really mash the spacebar all the way down.

Why do I always miss the best group buys, Any spare sets kicking about?
Highly unlikely, very interestingly, I haven't seen any Hack'd by Geeks sets change hands after the sets were shipped (not saying they didn't, yet probably the satisfaction rate is high, most people are keeping their sets)

I understand why, it's a beautiful set, being new to the scene I've missed out on a lot of great ones. There's bound to be someone though needing a bit of cash and is willing to part with their set

Not sure if Bunny ordered extra sets for the store or not with this one, those will likely go up once it reopens if he did. Otherwise, keep an eye out on the classifieds. You can't post a WTB until you've met the 2 months + 25 posts requirement, but you're able to post in other people's threads and buy from members.

Just got my scoops... but the full set still hasn't arrived... is this normal?
nope haha, ill get it mentioned to cody, i think i remember you saying you already filled in the form so he should be on top of it
I'm waiting on Hyperfuse, to combine shipping. Should I still fill in the form, just in case?

One other thing, and I don't know if anyone else has this issue, and this is not isolated to these keys, i've had them on many thick PBT caps as well. On the Ducky 3, the + and Enter on the keypad always sticks as the housing gets in the way, it's kind of like you have to sand down the side of the key. Anyone else had this issue?
Post by: KHAANNN on Sun, 07 June 2015, 09:39:28
So I have had these keys on my KUL with MX Clears for about a month back. I am new to SA profile keys, and got to the point where the keys were too hard to press (compared to OEM profile keys on Clears). I just put these on my Ducky with browns, and oh my god what a difference... I was really worried that I wouldn't like SA profile and was going to sell them off... glad I tried this first, as I love this color...

I was recently going to test DSA keycaps on a KBParadise V60, the spacebar had this issue, which rendered the keycap unusable, I think it's the fault of the keyboard* design
On my Leopold Numpad with Cherry stabs for example, this issue doesn't exist, the keycaps really shine
I also noticed that SA keycaps are pretty selective in terms of switches, the best match were blues, red's were meh, clear's were meh
I'm planning on using them with 60g clears at this point, they go better with lighter switches
Might be a good idea to sand the keyboard instead, as the keycap sets' value is currently greater than keyboard's value
------
With KBParadise V60, I was also unsure whether it's stabilisers or the keyboard housing was the source of the rubbing, it might as well be the stabs too, but one thing is for sure, the default keycaps didn't have this issue
Comparatively DSA had it worse in my case

The Ducky utilises Cherry stabilisers,which are somewhat unforgiving of even slight imprefections in stem positions under the keycaps. I found the same thing with my Ducky - some of the larger modifiers were sticking.
Although my experience in general is the opposite of yours - on lighter switches (blues and reds) the thick SA keycaps are way too heavy and really dampen the keyboard. On blacks or greens they are just fine.

Word of advice here, ALWAYS get either Black, Green and/or Grey switched keyboard when it comes to using any SA Profiled beauties :thumb: .
Reds and Blues are basically for newly born bubs or limp wristed tally-wackers, that don't need to use any keyboard.

Stock blacks? I see some of them modded to be a bit heavier. Is that personal preference or is there an actual spring weight that has been proven to be better than stock?

Stock Blacks are basically at 60g and out of the famous ones released in huge numbers - the Red, Brown and Blue Cherry MX switches that comes out of the German Factory would be less in spring weight.
The custom and rare editions such as the Clears (55g), Whites (80g), Greens (80g) and Greys (105g) which are my faves come in with those spring weights. IF you are talking about swapping out the standard spring and putting in a stiffer one, then you have a customized switch ready to be used by you in any keyboard.
If you're a cheap bastard then simply buy a budget Red switched keyboard then pop off the black switch tops and replace the softer springs with something that shall snap your lazy finger off. You can buy 150g Korean Springs from a supplier here on Geekhack.

I just noticed it while I was trying out some alternative keycap placements while I get ready for the Retro SA set
A similar issue exists for the 1.75 DSA "Control" keycap for example, it always bothered me - while it's possible to match the regular font-size and width, all the 1.75 DSA "Control" keycaps use an inferior font sizing/style
------
SP probably re-uses these phrase molds until eternity, so It might be a good idea if future keycap sets avoid "Enter" and use "Return" instead

Once again, I apologise for bringing stuff up like this, as far as I inspect the keycaps, only the 2.25 Enter has it, likely because it was a newly printed keycap type

I think it's too late to get this fixed for the Hack'd by Geeks keyset, maybe if I noticed this earlier something could have been done, if it's indeed an issue, but it would be great if we could at least get these kind of issues fixed for future keycap sets - I think the font style and size should be uniform wherever possible, the 2.25 Enter definitely has a slightly lower font-weight

Looking at the photo now, it was probably the glare from the left side that gave the impression of a crooked keycap, after testing various keycap sets after that judgement, I wouldn't point it out
I should learn to tolerate minor issues like these myself
(As a note to myself and others, selecting dark keyboard cases/plates and dark keycaps suppresses issues like these, otherwise even the slightest displacement is noticeable)

Just make things clearer, the spring weights quoted by Cherry are actuation weights, the weights of "Korean" springs are bottom-out weights. So a 60g Cherry spring is heavier than a 60g Korean.
People seem to find Korean 62-67g the sweet spot for MX Black / Red and Clear switches, they actuate with around 50 to 55g, so they're lighter than the stock springs, but heavier than Cherry "light" springs.

To be honest, I'm a little disappointed. They look fine in decent light and absolutely fantastic in sunlight, but in slightly dimmer conditions the contrast isn't high enough and the legends become hard to read. I was expecting them to be more like the Nostalgia set, with the grey much darker and the mods almost black.
Either the orange should have been lighter, or the grey darker. Now I'm looking forward to the Carbon set. Maybe that will be my SA set with orange in that I'll actually use on this board. This one just doesn't have legible enough legends for long term use.
Penumbra with white alphas remains my favourite set. I think it's going to take something TRULY spectacular (like perhaps fully sculptured Penumbra with white alphas ;) ) to dethrone it.

I agree with Bunny on this. Mine seem to be very accurate to the mockup. Under artificial light and direct sunlight. With incandescent light it is a bit closer to the orange tinge you filtered it with but only just so.

...
the reason we dont use the colours from the link you provided, is because they are inaccurate
we use the actual colour chips to match our colours for this
...
The DT colours are photospectrometer scans of the plastic colour chips, so they're the most accurate representation of the actual plastic colour you're going to find anywhere.
The pics I posted are in very good light and the camera sensor picks out the orange nicely, in real life it's not as clear and the contrast is not as high as I was expecting. Could be the fact that the legends are thinner on the actual caps than the renders, too.
To my eye, even the photos match my render more than the original (particularly the lighter grey). If you have a calibrated monitor you can see that the DT colours match the actual plastic very very well.
Anyway, I don't mean to cause offense, I'm just a little disappointed. The rant about the colours comes from this being just one of MANY mockups using inaccurate colours, with PuLSE being a particularly bad one due to the delicate differences in hues of blue / tourquoise. I have eyes very sensitive to relative contrast. The greys in the original render had too much blue. I'm surprised designers aren't more careful with selecting accurate colours, but I guess many keycap designers are not professionals, so it sort of makes sense.
The replacement Shift look fine to me, perhaps a little less shine to the surface, but that will come right with use :) They're definitely not matte, since SA matte has a textured surface, with little bumps, etc.

Sir, I am sorry for my attitude. I discovered I have flu and I am perticularly grumpy at the moment. You've run a good GB and the mockups are close enough not to really matter. My disappointment at the visibility on my home PC with poorer lighting conditions appears to be due to the closeness in colour intensity between the orange and light grey and the relatively thin legends on the keys.
It is acceptable at my office in better light. I need to lighten up a bit in general (IRL too).

Hey, it takes a very grounded individual to apologize on the internet. Hats off to you, sir.
I for one appreciate the effort you made with your alternate mock up. I (personally, to my eyes) think it does match up with some of the pictures of the set in lower light conditions. Maybe it would of been better received in the interest check phase though.

my point wasnt about the alt mockup not being accurate in certain lighting conditions
just that i cant make mockups for all lighting conditions, where would it end
the mock up is obviously meant to represent the set properly lit
it is there to show the set in the best possible light
obviously everyone knows if you throw it in bad lighting on incandescent light that will cause it to look different
the only part of the posts that bothered me is the insinuation of 2 things
that we tried to be misleading with the mockups, and that we didnt act professionally
in response to the comment about colour calibration
i have a regularly professionally calibrated panel, and i also regularly use this on all my other panels
http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0055MBQOM/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_S_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=251GNFHC05EOF&coliid=IK5X3HHQUQK77&psc=1
on top of that, i actually have the colour chips in front of me, as well as sample keys in almost all colour chips
we aimed to match these colours exactly, and certainly across all my set ups and screens, the mockups match the physical keys sat in front in me
that being said, i also dont think its fair to judge a mockup based on poor lighting or incandescent light, the only way this would be a fair comparison is i guess if you intentionally drastically lowered the brightness of you panel, or added a yellow tint to it or something, which i guess, if people wanna see how a set will look under worse lighting, they are more than capable of doing
this next comment is directed just at oobly
sir you dont need to apologise and what not, you are welcome to your opinion, however, based on yoru comments what i will say is this
you clearly have had issues with what you consider misleading mockups on several occasions judging by what you said, we clearly posted the colours and reference numbers we used on this gb, if you personally prefer the deskthority scans, they are always there for you to cross reference, it may take a couple of minutes, but then at least you dont end up in a situation where you are disappointed, and im sure it would take a fraction of the time for you to do that than to make the above posts after the fact
we used to use those scans for mockups, however i wasnt happy with results on certain sets, with the final product not being accurate to their scans, however accurate their method is, so we take steps to make sure we conveyed this gb as accurately as possible, and personally, i think we did that, im sorry you feel differently

The contrast is acceptable in normal lighting conditions, but in my case, the lcd glare was rendering things unreadable for me
So I decided to only buy keycaps with white legends from now on, have high hopes for SA Retro, if that doesn't work out either, I guess I will have to wait until SP rolls out fully sculptured matte SA keys, if Hack'd by Geeks could have been matte for example, the contrast wouldn't be an issue with these colors
Anyway, I just wanted to ask people how they use their Hack'd by Geeks keyset
Do you guys use them with flat keyboard or angled keyboards?
I'm guessing the regular minimal keyboard angle should work nicely, yet I'm not too sure about the Row1, since row1 has a pretty steep angle, a completely flat keyboard could be the optimal way to use the SA set
I'm just trying to decide which kinds of adhesives to use on my 60% cases, the DSA keycaps definitely need the stepped ones, if row1 SA favors flat keyboards, I guess I will have to reserve a case just for the SA keycaps (I tested things myself a bit, yet didn't use the keycaps for actual typing, therefore I couldn't conclude)

Did you fill out the form for requesting them?
If so, then you just have to wait for them to arrive via mail.

Nope, I wasn't aware there is a form. The OP doesn't mention anything about it. I assumed since no one got dished keys we wouldn't need to request them, they should just go out to everyone. Can someone provide the details? Digging through 45 pages isn't exactly realistic.

Do you guys use them with flat keyboard or angled keyboards?
Most of Hack'd lives on my Ducky with the legs tucked up so it's at a slight angle, I have not needed to write anything significant since it arrived so can't really say if it's perfect but It seems pretty comfortable.
Out of interest I just tried with the legs up for a greater angle but that really wasn't comfortable - I did not finish this line before putting them down again.

Anyone else still waiting on scoops and shift? I filled out the google doc the day it opened and the bubblers mailed almost 2 and half weeks ago. I live in the continental US so I can't imagine it taking that long to get to me.
I got my scoops and shift but still waiting on the full set. I didn't opt to have it ship with hyperfuse either, still not sure whats going on. Whatever the problem is, I wish that there was something I could do to help.

I don't think anyone opted for it if you bought both. I think bunny said there were 9 people who ordered at least both kits and are waiting. I agree it's frustrating, but at this point I need to make a new build for them anyway, but yea... I'm not used to group buys and being patient. I imagine when the 9 of us get them, we can have a group therapy class or something. ;D

Having not used this set yet, and having not looked at the thread in a long time, I only just found out about this. My set does indeed have the missing scoops (took some digging to find out that was refering to the F and J keys that are supposed to have deeper dishes than the other keys in that row) and has a shifted shift key, so I filled it out.

Very interesting, thank you
It would be great to hear other keyboard/typing experiences too, this is the first set with the Row1 number row as far as I know
I guess I'm finally going to build the keyboard for my brother this week, I was just considering whether I should build it into a flat Tex case, but I'm guessing the Vortex Alu. case with the default angle might be better
I only tested the set with a WASD V2, which has a higher angle than the 60% Vortex case, I have to say it seemed pretty comfortable with V2 too, doesn't make too much sense, but it was comfortable regardless of the higher angle of the Row1 (the V2's default angle is higher than the 60% cases)
(Just tested them a bit more on the V2, I would rate them default-keyboard-angle-safe :)

with this set, like all other sets, the only logical path now is to stalk the classifieds and mechmarket, as most sellers just post a listing and sell things in 5 minutes
I always dismiss the idea, but one of these days I might write a local bot that does these tasks for me, check the mechmarket for my favourite sets, check whether SP has released some extras etc.

I imagine that the 9 or so people waiting on Hyperfuse will receive Hack'd set, as well as the corrections (contours) within the same package? I didn't fill out the form earlier since I figured that'd be the simples thing to do on Cody/Bunny's end.I am one of the 9 and I did the same thing you did. I think we are good. :) I'm pretty sure up there in the thread somewhere that was the direction we were given.

Still no scoops for me.
Same here. Starting to get a little frustrating. Filled out the google doc first day it was out. Never received anything after waiting for that.
Used the ctrlalt.io support page a little over a month ago and told that it would ship out, and still haven't got anything.
Tried PMing codyeatworld a couple weeks ago and never heard anything.
Used the support page again a few days back haven't heard anything back.

we didnt send the scoops tracked that i know of
in the end i paid for all the shipping myself and didnt charge anyone
i know cody sent them all but got something like 5 sets back as undelivered, whose those are i dont know

firstly, it wasnt as much as i was expecting to ship them, i think including international it cost me sub $400 to ship all the scoops out
so its partly that its a ton of work to invoice like 150 people for $2-$5 and partly because its not peoples fault sp left them out of the original buy and i dont like people having to pay more than they expected through no fault of their own

Well it was not your fault either. I've never invoiced anyone but I understand it becomes a burden when you have to invoice hundreds of people.
People who want to pay their share could also donate through ctralt.io on the next sale they take part in.
I don't feel good knowing you spent so much money for us. :/ that's nice of you of course but I guess you would need it as well especially with your child coming.

I apologize if my last post came off as angry at all. Like I said it's a little frustrating, but I understand life happens and this is just a side thing for you guys. I'm just looking for some sort of update.
I still would like to pay for my part of shipping as well. Like others have said you shouldn't have to bite the bullet on that one since it was SP's fault.

This Group Buy has cost him dearly BUT he still makes sure everybody gets their orders and if there is a mistake he shall correct it. He's the ONLY one who cares if you are happy about your order, so you have to love someone for doing that these days.
That is why when there is another key-set being sold and made by these guys, you have to jump in because they simply do amazing colour-ways that few can mimic or create.

Did you receive your initial caps, or are you referring the scoops? I know that CtrlAlt waited to ship Hack'd* set if you were in another Group Buy like "Hyperfuse."
I believe there was a group of 9 of us waiting for Hack'd set because we happened to also order other group buys.

I still haven't heard anything back from Cody. I filled out the form to offer my payment, sent Cody a PM as well. Radio silence, what's the deal?
If you refer to the payment for the shipping of the scoops, they didn't invoice anyone so far. I'm not sure they will as Bunny told me it was not as expensive as he expected.
Yeah I mean both. I haven't received an invoice OR the caps.
if you are talking about the scoops, i didnt invoice anyone, in the end i paid for it
cody sent them all out, he told me 5 were returned, i dont know what 5
i think what im gonna do as a few people seem to not have them, is ask cody to send whatever he has left to me, then i can ship them out to people
if you are talking about your set, i can send you the tracking number, but usps tracking says this
Your item was delivered at the front door or porch at 1:27 pm on April 25, 2015
it then says your town and zip code but i removed that for the sake of privacy
the tracking would have been emailed to you but if not you cn view it by logging in to ctrl alt and viewing your hackd order

Were there many people with missing keys? The ticket I opened was updated a while ago with a response that said missing caps were being counted and they'd all be ordered at once. I'm only missing the .> key.
I'm missing a couple of non-crucial ones and my Delete is damaged, got the same message as you back on my form then no reply to my follow up just before Hyperfuse arrived and took over all Cody's free time.
Hopefully he'll survive that mammoth sorting task and can get back to this :)

BunnyLake is the ONLY one that self funds postage of items that were not included in the original shipment from SP.
Now we know who the Saint is here on Geekhack Central, that sacrifices everything in getting people their products despite the mistakes created by other companies (molders and couriers).
IN the end Bunny will walk over hot coals and broken glass so that you will get your order, so everyone can relax because if you haven't received your order just yet it shall arrive soon.
This is why I shall always be in every Group Buy CTRL/ALT runs because they get you your product no matter what else happens........

Sorry, I received my set of keys. Just no scoops or fixed shift. I filled out the form, PMed both you and Cody but never heard anything back. I'm 100% willing to cover the shipping cost.

Do you know if he ever got the missing keys from SP? I was going to reach out to SP to see if I could get the 1 key I'm missing but I didn't want to cross streams so to speak.
I don't think Bunny would be pissed if you speak directly with Melissa, in regards to getting the key(s) not received.
She is quite helpful and a delight to deal with but then again SP wouldn't exist without her, she is the front face of that company.

Followed up with Melissa. She said she hadn't received any replacement request from CtrlAlt and since the order were done through CtrlAlt the replacement would have to be done through them as well. Makes sense. I guess there's no way for her to validate an individual order.
Cody/Bunny, just want to make sure the missing cap replacements aren't forgotten. I'm not personally in any rush but don't want to speak for everyone... (2 of us?, maybe more?) :)

YES they shall all suffer that rare condition known as CTRL/ALT chernobyl key-cap meltdown, your skull bursts forth as your brain heats up from all your expectations, then you simply disappear through the floorboards into the earth.

If anyone is tired of their set yet, I'm looking to nab one at retail price?
I've got a set that I'm no longer using. I'll pm you pics when I get home. They were in use on a 75% board, so the numpad keys are as new. Also have the scoops and corrected shift key.

I did too and I am still waiting on both sets. My Hack'd ticket indicates they are waiting on more keys from Signature Plastics. I have no idea when that time frame will be/if an order was placed etc. I was going to wait until I receive my Hyperfuse set before pinging them again because I don't want to the communication overhead as they are pretty swamped based on what I read in other threads.
That being said, I'm right with you in being a little worried.

I talked with Bunny over PM's about my hackd ~6 weeks ago and he said the set is with him (in the UK) so I don't think they are waiting on more keys.
I'm sure there will be a response soon enough. Even if these 'bundled' orders have slipped through the net, we will get them at some point :) ... Unlike some other GB's I've been in :p

In the same boat as you, omen7288! Ordered both, waiting for both. Unlike nathanrosspowell, Bunny had told me that cody had all my orders, though that might be because I'm in the US?

Last I heard was 'give me a week' from Bunny on December 1st.
Not trying to bust your bronads. I know you guys are busy and other GBs have priortiy, but this whole problem came from me bundling my order with hyperfuse to save on shipping... But I've had my HF for months (I know, lucky) yet no HbGs.
Post by: nathanrosspowell on Sun, 17 January 2016, 00:12:09
I understand the whole deal with evreyone being busy and not being a business but as far as I know the only thing stopping me from having my set is that it's never been put into the post.... :-\

Sorry to be a downer and bump this again, but I saw others in the HyperFuse thread getting promises of their bundled sets (HyperFuse and Hack'd By Geeks) getting sent out. Any chance of an update on mine?

For those wondering about Hack'd, it did not get included in this shipment. :(
For anyone in this boat, pm me your order number and I'll get it sorted once we have this last batch out and we can catch up on the awkward bits

It would be helpful to us if you could so we can keep it all in one place
You should probably send a notice to people, or something. Not everyone's going to see this. I'd contacted you about my missing keys before, been assured that it was going to be taken care of, and now find that that was not accurate.
I'm not trying to give you a hard time, just making sure you're aware that this is the sort of thing that will anger even patient customers so that you might proactively do something about it.

Also, the contact form doesn't seem to actually work. It just sits there, at "Sending...". Checking the console I see that there was a server side error ("the server responded with a status of 500 (Internal Server Error)") when it tried to submit.

I was under the impression that Hack'd was with Cody and already sorted since it was supposed to be shipped with my HF order. It doesn't seem like that would have ever been possible if the sets are still with you.

cody was short a handful of sets after doing some replacements etc, i however still had some on hand, but as the buy was before i moved, they were still packed away, as we have just got around to the end of hyper, the issue has just come up so ive been sorting it this week

I know that this won't be looked upon fondly, but I'm really not happy that I have to wait even longer because my set was used to provide replacement keys. I didn't order it any later then anyone else, or any differently. The only mistake I made was combining the order. It really sucks. I feel like I'm getting the short end of the stick because I combined my order, when I was told that specifically wouldn't be the case.Bunny/Cody -
Do you know when shipping of Hack'd might continue? I'm waiting on my set.
Thanks.
im working on the last couple now, need to unpack em from my move
went through a complete set for unisyptical and user 18 this week

i never said it was about replacing missing keys, sets go missing or lost in transit, we order extras to account for these kind of eventualities, which i pay for
we only just found out cody is short a few, so ive been sorting it out
if you are not happy about that im happy to refund your set and save myself the time of going through and checking it and shipping it, and paying the additional international shipping charge

That is fine with me, you can refund it. I honestly don't think I'll get it anyway.

I own Hack'd and didn't know scooped were even an option xD
IIRC mine was shipped slightly later and scoops were included in the one and only shipment.
If yours was shipped later in the cycle, you might already have them.
If it was shipped earlier, I believe that scoops were sent out as an extra small shipment to those who wanted them.

If anyone else is in my situation (Hyperfuse + Hack'd combined order), I received Hyperfuse but not Hack'd today. Support ticket is in, but just an fyi.Yep there are a few of us, so hold tight! I got my HyperFuse in September, still waiting on word from the ctrl alt crew on what the situation is for Hack'd.

Yeah, unfortunately I ended up selling the board I was going to use the set on so I'm kinda hoping for a refund at this point. Either way, I've waited over a year so a few months give or take doesn't really matter a ton to me anymore.

I created a ticket initially regarding 3 different sets -- JTK, Hyperfuse, Hack'd. You asked me to create a separate ticket for JTK (which Bunny responded to), and then told me that Hyperfuse would prob be shipped out soon (which it did!), but you didn't respond to my question regarding Hack'd so I closed that general ticket and opened one specifically for Hack'd.

Any updates? This is the last I heard on my ticket which says 'two months ago':
Quote
The current plan, as I've been told is everything is in hand except for Hack'd, as soon as Cody gets ahold of the sets he's been told to dig out the Hack'd sets and make sure theyre all there and get them out so we can wrap up another buy.
I think something was said in slack #support but it got purged, or I can't find it.

In case you haven't received a response, I was reading through my own ticket history, and so far something about a house flood and potentially lost sets (read: refund). But also another statement a month later that it may be with Bro who should be shipping it out. Apart from that, I have yet to receive my set and I'm currently waiting to be approved to join the Slack so that I can actually maybe talk to someone in real time instead of getting monthly updates!

Today on Slack Brocaps said he does not have the caps, and that they are still with Cody :( I never got any kind of confirmation on how many Hackd sets were in this giant package. Hopefully enough for all of us to get a set.

Yikes! Thanks for the concrete update. So strange that Tym would say "Keys should land with Bro next couple of days, there were shipped last week" in my ticket about a month back. Seeing as how that contradicts Brocaps, it's kinda sad to see that there's just as much misinformation internally as there is externally.

and that they are still with CodyCody has sent them. That's what has been said all along, what brocaps said sounded like they still haven't arrived. I'm not sure what kind of shipping method takes a month though.

Seeing as how that contradicts Brocaps, it's kinda sad to see that there's just as much misinformation internally as there is externally.
basically when tym said that, we were under the impression it had shipped, cody picked up the caps, got em all boxed up, purchased a label and sent us tracking, so at that time we gave tym the info they were en route, so he could update support tickets
the tracking didnt move for a while and i didnt chase for while because we had tracking and i assumed it was being dropped off
once me and cody caught up about it, it transpired he needed to change the label and amount of packages that were to be shipped (its a lot of stuff with the remnants and extras across several buys)
at this time cody then had a family trip, and bro had a short one almost concurrently with each other
they both got home early this week and i spoke to cody on either monday or tuesday, and he told me he would set a reminder for the next day to get it taken care of, im yet to catch up with cody in the last couple of days but wednesday through saturday he looks after his kid so its not abnormal for that to happen
what i do know for a fact is everything has been picked up from n3rdly, packaged up with cody, and just needs to be dropped off (that last part being slightly harder than it seems due to physical size)
once i have further news i will update again for the few people still requiring a resolution
ah and with regards to the above flood comment, i had a few extra sets here, but when my house flooded basically everything got trashed, tons of stuff got dried out and packed away as we got the house sorted and back to normal, and as a result i didnt have immediate access to a bunch of things, ive since found a couple sets that i just need to check have all the correct keys and arent damaged from storage
