perfect thanks

[nathanrosspowell]

 

Appreciate all the work you bros have put in. Not long left now everyone 

[kokokoy]

Thanks Bunny for the update.

Hmmm... Little scared that this, hyper and JT gets shipped around the same time. Lots of explaining to the Mrs. If that doesn't work, go with plan B -> shoes or bag.

happy 7000 posts, it's such a behemoth of a number

----------

I was supposed to sleep 10+ hours today but waked up at 5 hours with the urge to get some custom R3 bottom row keys for optimal thumb keypresses with Retro SA, I was intending to let go off my Retro SA set, yet it seems my sub conscious really really wants the set for some Retro/SA goodness

I'm really torn, practically speaking, through experience I know that Cherry profile is my optimal profile for typing and anything else just hinders my ability to type, yet I can't seem to stop wanting these keys

Do we know if there will be any chance of extra space bars? I only ordered an extra set of the small spaces and now I'm thinking I may need an extra 6.25. At one point I thought it was mentioned that SP was going to be producing extra spaces and blanks to go along with group buys, but I haven't seen that recently.

They said they would make blanks available with all the keysets they produce with the impression that it will also include public but external GB's like Retro SA, however I wouldn't hold my breath, they don't even have blanks for Dolch/Eve etc.

[BunnyLake]

they attempted delivery today earlier than expected and cody was running an errand, so delivery has been rescheduled for tomorrow

[XMIT]

Oh sad.

Are you sure this isn't just the usual UPS ding-dong-ditch behavior?

Last week I was supposed to receive a UPS package "between 1:45pm and 3:45pm". It showed up at 8:30pm.

There's a reason I always ship FedEx or USPS.

[codyeatworld]

On the bright side I ordered limited edition stickers for all retro orders and they'll be ready in the morning.

I also have all the packing supplies ready, I'm planning out a very fast turnaround for this group buy.

Cody deserves a fan club here on GH  .

Talk about making ready for his next shipment way before anything arrives on his doorstep, look up "Codyeatworld" in the dictionary and it means Superb Organization and Logistical Support  .

Thank you Cody for tossing in the sticker I am super excited to finally get these caps. It's my first gb and the anticipation may have given me an ulcer. It's probably all the red bull but still I have a sneaking suspicion the anticipation dwarves started it -_- sneaky bastards.

Well it looks like I don't know how to use the quote button.

This is great!

Cody, you rock! (and Matt3o and the rest of the Ctrl|Alt team of course!)

Superb effort in the light of SP's logistic error with the plastic and their heavy schedule for SA caps (all SA sets are seeing delays).

No sweat, there is always GMK and JT being available to supply key-sets for hard-core GH collectors  .

Yeah, and my crazy ass bought FOUR!

[tofgerl]

Four retro sets, or four SA sets? Cause both seem perfectly logical considering the market for sets here and on r/mechmarket

Lol... 4 SA. Retro, Modern Selectric, Jukebox, and Carbon. Did I miss any other SA sets that popped up in the meantime?

Although... part of me wishes I could have invested more in each set for resale. Stupid me resold my Granite set at cost and it was snatched up in five minutes. Should have marked it up.

[nickheller]

Looking forward to these! I can not wait to see how True Retro and PETSCII look on my keyboard

cody is sat in the office right now eagerly awaiting delivery

[nickheller]

That is great to hear! I kind of feel bad for the guy though, sorting and shipping Hyperfuse, and now this. I truly appreciate all the work Cody and the other members of [CTRL]ALT are doing.

Seriously, though, I'm glad (well, hopeful too) that I'll have SA key caps in hand before the end of 2015.

[codyeatworld]

Currently sorting through SA Retro... All 10 boxes of it! Everything is looking good tho..

[SpAmRaY]

I didn't participate but those caps are going to look awesome.

[XMIT]

Beautiful photos, thanks.

If I were still in the Bay Area I would come help sort and pack in exchange for getting my order that much faster. Ah well.

[nickheller]

Oh yeah! These are gonna be great!

[BunnyLake]

its all sorted other than the blanks for some reason, not sure why sp chose not to sort those, but itll be super quick to have this buy knocked out

im going for dinner and cody is going for lunch as he has been waiting in the office since 8 waiting for these to be dropped off

he is then picking up the special stickers we had made just for this buy and we shall hopefully get some more pics to people

[codyeatworld]

I am pretty determined to start shipping these sets tonight too.

[snapdarty]

Have we seen a shot of the burgundy modifiers yet? If not, could we get one now that the sets are in?

I am so excited! The stickers tip it right over the edge. I'd better hurry up and finish hand-wiring my new board...

--Dancing a Jig in my Office, have closed the blinds and sent the sec out for coffee--  so now can truly feel happy at work without anyone else knowing about it  .

CTRL/ALT is the BEST organization for making a key-cap dream, a reality.
