First and foremost, let me say how excited I am about this.I had to bail somewhat on the last GB for Tai Hao and only ended up with two sets, but I'm fully in for this one (got more boards now than I did then, and more $ too!)
Especially the Caps Lock!! I just posted in the old thread to see if anyone has a solution for it because the Caps Lock that came with the old set doesn't fit my Cherry G80 boards at all (the stepped or not stepped doesn't bother me, I just want it to fit!!)
I will vote in the poll shortly. Now, some thoughts:
The shape of the windows logo is bugging me though...
is the windows key going to look like that?
Looks abit ugly though
I agree, it looks terrible. If we are going to do a tsang / ISO add-on set, or bundle those keys in together, can we also bundle a couple of blank 1x, 1.25x and 1.5x keys please? Considering it should only be an extra few cents per key lol.
At the cheap price of taihao just put everything into one package to hit MOQ super easy
U spoke my mind
Good plan
I think the price of the add on pack that I have stated will be around 4 dollars
And I think if we want easier hitting of moq of add-on pack
We should keep the ordering colour within 4
Last time, Elton's gb is at $8 usd for each set which is a extremely cheap price
And barely hit moq of 500 and 400 for each sets
And this time the price had risen for 75% for the ANSI set only
Therefore I expect there will be less orders
If we only go for the 4th generation
The possibility of successfully running this gb will be much higher
Or an alternative is that
We only accept orders for 4th generation at first
And if it goes right and smooth , we add additional colours
Hang on. Yes, the price is more expensive, but haven't the MOQ's reduced? From my understanding of your OP, for every generation on offer, for anything in stock the MOQ is 100 sets, and for anything out of stock, it's 300 sets.
The price may have risen by about 50-75%, but the MOQ has reduced by nearly 50% in the case of MOQ=300, and has reduced by like 80% in the case of MOQ=100.
As someone else mentioned, as long as the ballpark price is still sub-$15, this is a great deal. Not to mention:
- a lot of people missed out on the first GB. This time, they will snap them up quick cos they've seen how fast they're now selling in the classifieds.
- there is a dolch set, which will hit MOQ in like 20 minutes. It's already way out in front in the poll.
- these colours are much more enticing. The first gen was fun for $8, but aside from the black, and for special projects, the colours were a bit useles.
- the fact that there is a possibility of tsang / ISO means a lot more people will go for it.
- DOLCH SET AVAILABLE!
- many of the glitches (space bars / stepped Caps Lock etc) from the first gen have been ironed out.
- did I mention... dolch set?
- KeyPop might go in for a few sets again, based on how many he ordered last time? Maybe contact him to see if he is aware of this GB?
and we are only going for the 4th generation at the first stage of the GB.
Please please please don't limit to 4th gen initially. That Azure set is simply beautiful, especially when you see the other pics of it. Go with whatever the top 4 are at the end of the poll?
Or is there a really good reason to limit to 4th gen that I missed?
Anyway thank you so much for your effort dealing with Tai Hao so far, I'm confident this is going to be a huge success!
