So if i "forgot" to pick up some extras, would i be able to order them from mykeyboard.eu after the initial orders have been shipped out?

I'll say that for me, you can send me a DM and I'll update your order or somehow find a way to take your money (or refund you if absolutely necessary).  I have enough extras to handle reasonable requests.

I don't know how mk.eu handles this, but I do know they ordered extras too.

Hi fireworm,

Is it possible to get my delivery address updated, i'd like it to go to my work address instead of my home address if possible.

Thanks :)

From my own tests, the weight of a single row type of SA cap can vary quite a bit, ±15%. You'll have a probability curve on the accuracy if you rely on this.

/shrug, I will see what the most effective way is.

For smaller kits, probably just need to count...

I think I could find some more hands, but let's see how this week goes first.

Small update: I've got '25%' of the caps sorted (measuring by quantity). 

Mostly the smaller kits (wk mods, wkl mods, numpad, etc.) are sorted as I didn't realize that my bags were super tiny and can't hold all the alphas...  I ordered 300 more bags, and boy, are they taking their time to ship to get here.    Alphas and dox are like 60% of all the caps I ordered, so I'm hungry to start sorting them...

Small update: about 80% done sorting the caps.  I have probably two more days to get through the remainder of caps, then I'll be labeling / packing orders. 

I'm estimating shipping domestic orders on Monday April 29; shipping invoices for int'l will go trickle out after.

Done sorting caps.  :cool: 

Dox and 40's took the longest, because they had so many types of caps in them...  :(

Now to verify I sorted correctly (re weighing all of them) and label them.  And to organize my orders into packing lists...

Fun fact: Black caps weigh less than white caps.

White pigment is typically titanium dioxide. Black pigment is typically carbon.  By volume, TiO2 is almost twice as heavy as C.  Although the volume of the two pigments is probably not the same, so...

Update:

Dropped off most Shopify orders today.  There was a weird issue 4 packages: 2 labels didn't want to print, 1 is an unusual int'l, and 1 needs a bigger box.
I'll work on those, and start packing PayPal orders tonight, too.  Expect shipping invoices within a day or two.

Packaging took a little longer than I expected, due to building boxes and taping them, etc.  So, I'm learning how to estimate time better.   ;)

I'll work with you over email; thanks!

Edit: Made a mistake where I was invoicing orders in EU, but they didn't order through me (I just had their info before the EU proxy was up).  Some folks got invoices, but I cancelled them.  Let me know if I made two mistakes (invoicing you, cancelling it, but you actually did order through me.)

Yea, I didn't double check the invoices I sent before sending the shipping invoices.

...........In other news, I'll have more extras than I anticipated.   :p


Edit: Int'l shipping invoices are all out.  When you pay, I'll ship.  Let me know if I missed you, or accidentally sent you one.

Working on sorting / counting extras now.  (And hoping there are no 'missing-key's in current orders)

Small update: Got most of the extras sorted, so I'll be double checking and making an announcement for extras 48 hours before they go on sale, later this week.

Only my shopify will have extras: https://missing-key.myshopify.com

EU folks will have another chance at extras when MyKeyboard.eu actually gets their caps.

Just making sure but if I get a TKL set, that should cover a 75% board correctly right? Also, if I get the white version, is it just white alphas and black everything else, or is everything going to be white?

TKL set will cover 75% perfectly.  White is as the images show: White alphas and white deep dish keys, black mods and everything else.
