Good news everyone, the order has been submitted and paid and now is in queue!
Some details about the order can be found in the transparency post (
bottom of the 2nd post in this thread). In short, we got lucky with the pricing estimation... just about a break even! (Shipping and such TBD, but going by estimates.) The drawback is that in order to meet this, I had to take over sorting/shipping, but not a huge deal.
Timing wasn't perfect with all of the group buys going on at once, but this is a decent turnout and I for one am excited for the keys!

Yes, yes, if you ordered the white mods you already have those extra keys... enjoy the extra space bar on another set or something.

All I can say is that the original pricing calculations didn't work like this... and I couldn't seem to get a lower price for the original set. So, deal with the extra keys people!
If you missed out, Techkeys.us will be selling some later, so sign up for their newsletter. If you bought a set and don't want it, I'm sure a kind soul here will be happy to buy it from you. (Just PM the address change.)
Thanks everyone for the support!

PS: Also, I hope you guys enjoy that center-stemmed stepped cap!!! SP missed the fact that it was centered stemmed in their original quote. Those ended up costing $3-4 EACH depending on the color!
