Title: geekhack group buy - August 2011 **NEW DESIGN**
Post by: iMav on Tue, 16 August 2011, 13:37:54: For the next group buy, we will do a black key with white "gh" legend. These will be Cherry MX only. Row 1 (Esc/Fn row). The keys SHOULD look like this:

[ATTACH=CONFIG]24505[/ATTACH]

These will be a little more expensive due to the setup cost. These will likely be pad-printed due to the detail.

USA - First key $9 shipped, additional keys +$5 each.
Non-USA - First key $13 shipped, additional keys +$5 each.

Pre-pay just like always. Send money via paypal (as a gift if at all possible) to me [at] imav [dot] org . In the subject, put GH key - August 2011 - GH username. In the body of the message, please include number of keys, your mailing address, and your geekhack username.

Any chance to add this key to the group buy round 4 for those, who don't mind waiting years?

This will remain a separate group buy. I try to do these monthly.

Post by: sordna on Tue, 16 August 2011, 14:19:35: The OP should always mention the proposed specs of the key, to help new folks and avoid repeated questions:
1. Material
2. If it is doubleshot, printed, whatever
3. Key profile (which row does it go on?)

Post by: daerid on Tue, 16 August 2011, 17:35:18: I think iMav's been doing this long enough he knows how to handle it ;)

And PS: I'd want an entire "geekhack" set of these to replace my "sdfghjkl" keys. Would be legit

And how does this help an interested user who joined GH in the last couple of weeks and never participated in any group buy, that will be wondering if this is a double shot, which row it fits, etc? Group buys shouldn't assume all geekhack users are veteran participants.

Sure, if you want to. Just make sure you make things clear in the msg portion of the PP payment.
Title: geekhack group buy - August 2011 **NEW DESIGN**
Post by: iMav on Tue, 16 August 2011, 21:33:33: sordna, the GH keys almost always sell out...it's mostly the same folks that buy them. So I am typically not that detailed in the description since the folks that look for the monthly group buy know the deal.

I've stated I will continue to do these as long as there is interest. Actually, the worse I advertise the group buy, the better chance I have of freeing up some free time. ;)

Sounds like Unicomp :-) You'd fit right into their marketing / web design team!

Post by: mikeruth on Fri, 19 August 2011, 11:19:29: This is not on my list of favorite designs. I think that I will wait for the next "monthly" iMAV key group buy (but don't stop doing it).
Title: geekhack group buy - August 2011 **NEW DESIGN**
Post by: jpm804 on Sat, 20 August 2011, 04:34:05: I actually like the new design and mixing it up from just the normal "GeekHack" keycap..

Hoping some of these others in the poll get made but maybe with some color to it:

Also Payment Sent.. Thanks iMav for doing this :thumb:

That would make it triple shot. It's possible but when Webwit asked them Melissa wouldn't answer his email.

Good call Melissa!
She answered me... flat out "no way". :)

I think he mentioned whic row it fits already. As it is, if you looked up other threads, you'll notice almost, if not all GH keys are R1. take some time to read. The guy's busy enough organizing this to answer questions that have already been posted.

As for your other questions. Didn't he say pad-printed?

Dye-subbed would be awesome. Would cost more, i think.

Well, these did NOT sell well. So probably back to the old design for next month (since they sell out very quickly).
