These will not work for a numpad, correct?

Most numpads on keyboards have the "curved" profile, but since I prefer a flat profile to my tenkey, I imagine I may have a use for more than one set.

It all depends on your prefrence. I think having a "flat" profile tenkey is a great idea. My olivetti (RD) has that, and it's a great profile.

Just give me the word and I'll double your order :yo:

But that is actually a really good point - I'm going to try that out.

I know it's not realistic to expect this to happen I'm just throwing it out as a bit of GB math trivia, nothing more:

When the 1-15 sets hit 50 orders, everyone could change their single set order to five sets for only $17.56 more.  If that's more sets than you need you could probably sell the extras for more than the $13.76 you would have paid.  That's only $0.86 a key.  I'm just thinking out loud to pass the time between F5 presses.  ;-)

I was going to suggest doubling orders for a few dollars more, but there is a lot of song and dance to get everyone's buy in.

You're right.

But most of the one who joined this group buy are mostly here in the hope the prices goes down.

They don't want to spend 50 $ in it, they want the project to fly off.

And maybe we reach a good price even without using such techniques.

Heh, I know someone mentioned doubling orders previously for a few dollars more but megnin is going a baller on us; don't just double your order quintuple it! ;)

(judging by his old signature he actually has enough boards to use 5 sets)

Your tagline should say "Keyboard baller" instead of "Keyboard O.C.D."

...and those that really don't need 5 sets and wanted to pay the smallest amount possible, sell your extra 4 sets for $17.00 each and your 1-15 + cue set cost you a total of $0.80 for the set or a US nickle per key.  ;-)   :drum:

They are 1x1 keys so they will technically fit, but the profile is top 2 rows so they will not fit the profile of the board.

I put a lot of thought into doing these as a tenkey since IMO it would look cool, but the tenkey demand is lower and the 1-9 keys as well as the F keys fit the set so perfectly.


That's what I thought. And I agree. There should be a corresponding set to fill ou a Filco ten key pad with all matching top row keys. :)

Yes! I'm surprised how few people are ordering extra 8-balls or just 8-balls! 17 more until 100 pricing.

I haven't set a hard deadline yet,  I think part of it will depend if orders grind to a halt.

My thoughts are to leave it open for the week and close on Friday if we hit desired numbers. If we are close to a new price point I will probably leave it open a little longer.

I think the [1-15] set share the keys with the [1-9] set right? We've hit 50 orders of the [1-15] set, plus the number of the [1-9] sets so it should be over 100 sets [1-9] already?
Or did I miss something guys? ~.~

Right now there are 50 orders for 1-15 and 14 orders for 1-9

If we get 11 more sets (1-9 or 1-15) this will bump the 1-9 keys to the 75 price range

Haha I wish - 15 keys with 15 custom legends is expensive.  

We are 9 sets away from a decent drop - $21.73 for 1-9 and $41.71 for 1-15
