The first Poker suit groupbuy (http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?20466-Poker-Color-Suit-Keycap-Groupbuy) was fairly successful and since there is continued interest I think it's time for a second round.
Due to overwhelming request, these will be on new mold with SOLID legend ♥♦♣♠, not outline but still 1.25 modifier keys for SP doubleshots. The colorway will be on 'white'/light beige this time, with classic red and black suit legends. Pricing will be $4.00 first key, $2.75 per additional key.
Price includes shipping worldwide by USPS first class in bubble mailer.
We will be looking at a 5 week timetable from submission of order to receipt of keycaps.
Begin accepting orders and payments as of 6 February.
Orders will close 18 February.
All payments due by 22 February.
When ordering please follow the format
Style - quantity
example:
heart - 2
PM me your order when you are ready to pay.
All payments will be made via paypal. Please send the payment as a gift. If you pay as merchandise, add 3% to your total, and be aware that you will receive a 'shipped' notice through paypal well before it actually will. This will be done to hopefully prevent paypal from locking my account. I will confirm your mailing address when the keycaps arrive.
Post your order in this thread also so I can EASILY keep count.
Thank you.

I'd go for double shots...god those are just too awesome. Not a fan of dyed keys.
-
I'm interest in CMYK set but wondering about prices first, since dyesub keys do go for a little more than DS
-
I would rather have black spade/clubs, and red diamond/heart
Brown spade and blue diamond sounds weird ;x
I'll be interested in a set also though none the less
-
The Poker ones are generally meant for the Poker keyboard, so the colors make some sense there, but I see where you are coming from. If there is overwhelming desire for a 2nd round of the SP doubleshots I did before I of course will have no problem doing those instead, but like before there would have to be a minimum of 25 of each style. All of them MUST be prepaid this time though, I won't be fronting to fill in again as it was too much out of my pocket last time. A second round from sp should be a little cheaper than the first since the setup / art fees won't be necessary again.
-
^ Cool, sounds fair.
-
I want a white key cap regardless if its dye sub or double shot lol
Should probably finalize the cost with imsto first then we can move forward to see which to go with, with imsto the good thing is there is no minimum order I don't think but the key cap has to be white, while with SP there is a minimum order but we can get it on black or white
-

I agree with tsangan! traditional poker suit colors!
-
Alright. Black or white keys shouldn't matter for SP keys as I am pretty sure its the legend style and not the colors that constitute the minimum amounts, but I will double check with Melissa about it. As soon as imsto gets back to me about pricing and specifics I will update the op.
-
I want those. Though I have no Poker. If it is still 1.25 Modifier it will fit Filco and stuff, too. So my Filco is fine.
1 set of dye sublimated modifier keys. I also take doubleshots, if available. but primarily I like the dye sub ones.
EDIT: Not shure what this is about. The link to the old groupbuy only shows a set of 4 modifier keys. I want those. Is there any more? Can we have pics or desciption?
-
1 x Spade
1 x Diamond
1 x Heart
1 x Club
-
Ooops... yes the Poker suit caps are for 1.25 modifier again. The CMYK set is for standard modern sized keys as well like Filco, Leopold, Poker, etc... I updated the op so that is clear too.
The design for the Poker keys are same for the SP doubleshot, or similar if KBC dye sub'd. The point of it is because there are no more of the first batch left and I keep getting pm from people that want them, so hence round 2.
-
Thanks for clearing that up! I updated my post above. =P
-
Still interested in both but more the PBT ones. Shipping to Germany with hopefully some more Guys that share shipping.
-
Last time the international shipping was the same as US shipping so that should'nt be a concern. Of course if one of the European members wants to handle reshipping It would be a lot of time saved filling customs forms for me.
-
I could do the shipping for Europe.
-
i'd love to express my interest in a pair of heart doubleshots, plus a pair of heart dyesubs. Experiment and see which looks better.
aw hell put me down for a whole cmyk modifier set too.
hope canada isnt a problem :)
-
If we do these, what about we fill the entire poker suit with colour, since the last one it was only the outline of the poker suit, just an idea

I like the idea of solid hearts on my board. :)
-
If done in the right time frame you could have the hearts out by Valentines Day.
-
What is the 4th color in the CMY*K* set? Just a thought, 50% gray might fit nicely with those colors.
-
Solid legends on the dyesub, outlines on the doubleshots (unless everyone is ok with having to cover new art and set up fee). But I have still not heard back from imsto, must be a very very busy person. I'm still working on some CMYK design mock ups but likely the K will be somewhere closer to Pantone black7.
-
Some changes are made, some pricing is announced. CMYK set pricing is still unknown as imsto will need to source those key sizes first. Updated OP.
-
Heart doubleshot - 1
Club doubleshot - 1
Spade doubleshot - 1
Diamond doubleshot - 1
What exactly is the CMYK set? Is it just dye-sub mods with the mod names on them?
-
Exactly, just like an rgb set but in cmyk instead.
Mock up added to OP.
-
will definitely be in for at least one set of both versions of the Pokers suit keys
-
I'm going to put this on hold until after the new year. I have too much going on right now with the holidays coming up.
-
That's good to hear...
I have too little money right now with the holidays coming up
-
For those still interested, I now am ready to start this up again since I will have the time to do so. The CMYK dyesubs set is being dropped due to high cost for such a limited interest, sorry.
Orders are open now, and will close one week after minimum order of 25 per style is reached. Send me your monies.

Yes, I know a lot of people want them solid instead of outlines... but I asked SP, and that is 'new' art... I could tell them to make their cutter fatter, for a thicker line but that is all for now. Perhaps I will do solid for round 3 for something new, perhaps as an R1. Of course anyone else is free to do so first if they want to run their own buy and not wait on me.
-
When you say white are we talking stark white like WASD's white or is it a beige like white?
Do we need to PM in addition to post? I didn't see mention of that in the first post but that seems to be the norm.
Thanks!
-

Using a different cutter is still a new legend, unfortunately. We have to do exactly what was done before or pay $35 per key.
-
LOL... more SP random prices, for different people... It's been a while since I asked (December), but since I already have them made and sitting in a box at SP somewhere or whatever they do with stuff... I mentioned that last time the lines were a little thin and they said they could go over it again with a thicker cutter, but no going back obviously. Said nothing about any extra fee, but that doesn't mean anything I suppose.
Colors is not final, but I figured something like the light beige 'white' since it will match with more stuff probably.
I don't want to see PM unless it is to send me a payment.

Hmm well maybe you have some kind of special deal, if she said that. I was told that any adjustment at all was a new fee. Maybe since you're thickening they can use the same mold, whereas what I was asking her to do maybe required an entirely new mold?
-
That may be the case, since it would just be altering an existing mold with these. Also these legends are pretty simple, just one line in a shape, so that may be a factor if it is minimal work on their end. Who knows?

The keycaps have the other poker profile keycaps? I mean they have filco or cherry profile?

Would be interested in them if they were going to be filled instead of outlined and wouldn't mind paying extra towards the new artwork fee. Maybe create a poll to see what people think about this?

+1 this.
-
I'm sure you could also get at least 35 for each key making it only $1 more expensive per key and I'm sure people would be willing to pay that.
-

They'll have SP profile, which is similar to Filco but not identical. Specifically, these modifier keys will be more sharply angled than Filco keys. It's just something we have to live with. See the wikis and ripster's GLWIC thread for more detail.
-
I'm in for filled or lined. However, I don't want to buy lined only to have someone run another GB a month later with filled. So are we definitely going with lined?
-
Very well. I made a poll, go vote (http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?27016-Poker-Suit-keycaps-round-2-vote).
-
The colorway will be on 'white'/light beige this time
I take it that SP doesn't have a "true" white?
-
Yes they have a very white white, use it for legends at least on black keys etc... but I don't think it will match with as much sets out there as the off white/light beige color.
-
I'll get 2 of each if its the filled ver.
-

Ah, because the Filco and Leopold white keycaps are off-white a little bit, right? I just have WASD and KBC PBT whites and they're pretty true white.
-
Filco's white isn't even a white lol
-
I don't understand why they would do things like that. It's like "hey guys, how about we release a white keyboard? NO! NO, WAIT... OFF-WHITE!"
-
Just voted for the filled versions! I'd get these in a heart beat if they were available.

-
Looks like SOLID is winning by a landslide. If going for new molds, increase the per key cost to $5.50 each, still includes shipping.
Questions: How many of you want these for a Poker keyboard? In my original intention the suit colors makes sense, but not so nice looking all together maybe with red, blue, tan, black. You using them more on other board? Maybe do proper red and black only?
-
i'd say either black/red or this like this
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b8/4coloraces1.jpg)
-
Well thats almost what it is now, with tan (MX brown color) club instead green...
-
I don't think that most people are getting them to match their switch colors since most people seem to be ordering one of each. I think there's really two ways to look at it:
1. Use black and red only. The two red keys would serve the same purpose, such as both being control, and the two black keys would serve the same purpose, such as both being alt.
2. Use four different colors. You'd then probably do a running suit of cards on the right alt, meta, right super and right control keys.
I think I like the second way a bit more, which is more for looks than for function. You could do the second way with just black and red too, but I think the different colors would be more eye catching. Regarding the color for the club, brown is good to match the switch color but if we aren't going for the switch color match then I think that green is better. Green is the color used in four color decks of cards (as pictured above). Green is a also just a nicer color than brown and the club is also sometimes referred to as a shamrock/clover so it suits it well in that regard too.
-
Good thoughts. I would like to see some more opinions, but I don't think another poll is necessary. Need to make sure it's what people are wanting, since I am already taken care of from round 1, this is for you guys. I'm just the coordinator.
-
Just black/red please, no more RGB :P
But if you decide on the colour one, do it RGBY instead of the black
-
a yellow spade? i don't think that will look too good....
-
black/red still has my vote
-
I don't think yellow will look so good on off white either. Light color on light color is usually not too nice to see.
I think it's best to either stick to the original black, blue, red, tan; or black and red classic only, no other different colors.
-
Black and red like proper cards!
-
I've got a Poker I'm planning to use them on but as long as the keys come out looking good I don't really care if they match the original colors used by KBC.
-
Simple legends nearly ensure they come out looking good. I think the last round looked pretty good asides from the blue and brown being darker than I wanted. Looks like we might be going with classic red and black then, unless a bunch of people tell me they hate that idea. I think some people wanted that last time too... where you people?
-
I'd rather the coloured ones personally but would still be happy with black and red if it came down to it.
-
I'll take:

Please PM me :-)
-
PM'd. Please confirm that large order with a payment. I'm not going to count it until then, no offense.
-
About the $5.5 per key including shipping. An extra key still costs $5.5?
-
There are a few reasons for this, first it makes my life easier to have 1 price for caps, includes shipping, cost of packing materials. Second, some places cost more to send than others for whatever reason. Third, if there is a gross overage, I will refund it and did so last time for some people that had larger orders. I feel it's easier for me to give a refund, than get people to give me more money if it costs more.
I hope that makes sense, and answers your question.
-
I'm not too okay with that, guess I'll skip out on this then
Without an order of any sort knowing how many keys are being ordered, and charging $5.50 a key and $5.50 for an additional key is kinda overpriced?
It definitely could be that price, but at the same time, it could be a lot less
-
I'm gonna pass, I like the keys. But I can't agree with the way you are running it.
-
Hey, that's fine. I'm just trying to make sure I don't loose money doing another buy. I did last time, not a lot, but I don't want to again.
-
I can understand that, but I also cannot agree that this is the way to fix that
-
If you don't want to participate, that is fine. If veteran GB organizers have some tips for me, I am more than happy to listen. If someone else wants to take this over, they are more than welcome.

That's unfortunate. Maybe you should go to bed before your day gets any worse? (sorry, it was a good quote I've been meaning to use.) In any case, I'd relax with a bear, and read a few chapters in my book, then re-examine the issue.
Firstly: I don't see anything wrong with charging a flat rate per key. It keeps things simple. Were I interested in poker-suit keycaps, I'd probably be happy getting some. Still, I think there are better ways:
1. get shipping figured out ahead of time, and include in pricing.
2. have the individual keycap cost from SP figured out, and make that the cost per additional
3. Have the expensive shipping an "upgrade" option.
Here's an example:
$6.00 for one keycap
$1.00 for each additional keycap
+$5.00 Shipping upgrade
---
That way it's easy to figure out costs/pricing.
One thing you can also do is add $1.00 handling fee for your time buying, setting it up, sorting, etc. This would be included in the "$x.xx for the first keycap" cost.
---
Anyway, I've not yet run a GB, but this strikes me as a logical way to go. Even if there are slightly different pricing on the different suits, I like having it all one price, with it all averaging out, or being absorbed in the handling fee. I think this makes it easier for you to keep track of (for example, if the unit cost per keycap is $.25 for hearts, and $.30 for all the rest, then just say each additional key is $.28 or something.)
Anyway, I hope your day tomorrow goes better! I'm sad when other GH'ers are grumpy.
edit: bears are quite relaxing indeed, but I'd rather have a good read over a good beer.
They tell me that bears beats battlestar galactica ,though.

I'd love to see that.:rofl:
Seriously though, dorkvader's suggestion is pretty good. Take a break and have a look at this problem another day.
That being said, if the $5.50 prices remain, I gotta pull out of this one. Perhaps other GB organizers could help lysol out with more advice?
-
I've only just run my first one. But I would say that If you spend a good hour making a nice spreadsheet for this to keep track of people's info and orders, it will mean you won't have to individually calculate the prices of each order. I have one and would share it if Lysol wants it (it's somewhat of a mess tho). Basically once its set up. Just put in the user's data and order and you're done.
By calculating the prices before hand we avoid his point of having to do refunds. I'd assume that would be quite a time consuming process.
The main thing left is the shipping prices. If the problem is just because packages vary in prices. I'd go for flat rate shipping rates or calculate a "maximum" value that it would cost to ship to certain regions (split maybe Local/International). It will need some time obviously if he wants to do shipping rates for different destinations, but if he uses a good estimated value to "balance out" shipping it will still work.
Lysol don't be grumpy. I ruff you rong time too = 3.
tl;dr: Spreadsheets may be able to help out.

Just so you guys are aware, They were $5 ea last time, and that was actual cost due to legend art, mold, keys, envelope, shipping. I only dropped the price at the end so I didn't have a bunch of them sitting around. This is mostly where I lost some money. I also didn't mean to make it sound like I would be purposely overcharging then refunding. That is far from the case, and I understand what started the comments now after I re-read some stuff here...
So to break it down, it's $35x4 /100 =$1 per key for the new legend molds so many of you wanted, $2 for the key, a minimum of $1.88 for shipping, plus the cost of a bubble envelope. Hey thats the correct price per key. I know what I am doing maybe?
So, then $5.50 for first key, then how about $4 for each additional key, that way I should still be able keep the shipping from being more than what you paid. I feel this is reasonable, and likely as good as it's going to get unless we can hit serious volume prices from SP.
Sorry for being all cranky before, it is cold and I was hungry and bears with spreadsheets were after me, and Whitney is dead!
-
Whitney is dead!
Such a sad world sometimes... =(
-
With the other custom key group buys, it seems that there is a clear indication of what the price of the keys is with the legend fees. Shipping should be separate from the cost of the key, honestly. There are some estimations of cost to different regions in some of the other group buys.
It's actually fairly easy to calculate shipping costs to different locations based on weight at USPS's website. You could even just take pre-payment for the keys and then charge shipping at the time you ship. No money at all is lost that way. Stuff within CONUS should all be a flat rate with a bubble mailer or priority.
-
You could even just take pre-payment for the keys and then charge shipping at the time you ship.
From my **very** limited experience this seems to be a fairly common way of going about things and seems to keep everyone moderately happy.
If someone pays for the keys and then doesn't come through with the shipping costs then, in my opinion, after a reasonable period (3 months? 6 months?) you get to consider the keys as defaulting back to you and can either keep them or auction them off on GH or whatever seems right.
I don't think you should be shy of rounding things up a bit and getting a little bit of rounding error as your reward for your time being the organiser of the GB. I very much doubt you could ever make what your hours are worth at work and only the most childish of people really think people should work for free (or lose money as you seemed to have before).
If you are really squeamish about keeping the rounding-up errors then donate it to iMav for site upkeep or a charity of your choice or buy your partner or kid or whoever a little present to compensate for the time you spend on this you could have spent with them.
Extra key caps are total luxury items for those with spare cash and I am confident that most of us are very happy to pay a bit over the minimum to those who enable our habits in this regard.
Don't burn yourself out being so fair to others that you are unfair on yourself.
Anyway, peace and love and heaps of kudos for be a Group Buy organiser lysol
-
It looks like we are going to make it to the next price tier since we are pushing 50 per style, I need to doublecheck with SP and make sure I have the right pricing. No payments accept until I know for certain.
I've also pushed the order end date out a couple more days, so I have time to make sure everything is in order.

I would like to take 2 of each Poker key cap. Thanks a lot!

I'll trust you on your numbers. It's not very transparent. But I feel if you've made additional keys cost less than the first one + shipping, then we're at least alright. The thing was Ordering more than a couple felt like I was being overcharged on shipping. Plus if we're breaking a price break, The price doesn't make me feel bad for my wallet. Hitting 50 is big...almost 50% discount on the keys themselves (obv excluding shipping + legending fee). I reckon we can hit 75.
-
New pricing will be $4.00 first key, $2.75 per additional key due to volume discount.

Doubling my initial order...it is now
Diamond - 4 (up from 2)
Club - 4 (up from 2)
Heart - 4 (up from 2)
Spade - 4 (up from 2)
(I will delete/edit out the earlier post)

I'm sorry but I'm still not clear on what colors the legends will be since it was discussed at one point but I don't see a final decision mentioned in the thread.
Red/Black only or Poker coordinated?
-
Sorry, I missed your question... Classic red and black on off white/light beige seems to be more wanted.

Yep, I'm definitely in now, I just need to run some numbers to see how many. This is going no be a good groupbuy I can tell.
-
Wow looks like we passed the minimum order quantity of 25 per key by quite a large margin (nearly double). Looks like prices are still the same though, so what quantity tier do we have to reach for it to be cheaper per key?
EDIT: oops, I didn't even noticed we already hit the next quantity tier so price already dropped :D
-
If we hit the next price tier I may get even more = 3

Put me down for 1 of each. Thanks

1 of each. Thanks !!!

lysol, a suggestion: you should put payment instructions in the OP, so whoever wants it can just automatically order/pay, instead of PM'ing you for every payment and you giving instructions via PM to everyone. It would be easier for all buyers to pay via paypal, then in the paypal note section, put your forum name and what was ordered. That's how I did my group buy.
I'm ready to pay, I'm sure several others are too.
-
I don't want my email to be out in a public view. PM is only one extra step, and it gives me another copy of the order.
I have my standard form PM all ready to go :)

Sorry, a bit confused... do you want pm orders?

Just because it wasn't really asked before, how do people feel about the pure white vs off-white/beige for the background color? I kind of like the pure white myself but apparently there are other sets which better match the off-white/beige.
I'm guessing these would be the stock caps on Filco and Leopold white keyboards, since the PBT caps from KBC seem to be pretty white. Would just be curious to see how many people are trying to match to an off-white set.
I'm fine with off-white but I like the pure white that was used in the Nyancat and novelty key (white lotus) group buys as well.
-
I'd rather a more pure white myself, to match the KBC white poker keycaps from iMav's group buy that are oh so nearly here. Still ok with an off white though..
-
I quite like the creamy white. But then again if I got myself a white cased board i'd like the pure white.
-
Yes they have a very white white, use it for legends at least on black keys etc... but I don't think it will match with as much sets out there as the off white/light beige color.
Not sure if you guys saw this.
-
Not sure if you guys saw this.
Right, but that's why I'm asking. What sets are we trying to match to that are this same off white? Filco and Leopold white stock sets are pretty much not white at all, so it wouldn't match them that great either and considering that they're stock sets they might even be replaced. WASD's white is even more pure than SP's pure white.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]40862[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]40863[/ATTACH]
Here's a PBT KBC white, which is not as pure white as SP's pure white. Is that Portal key the off white from SP? Looks a bit darker than the KBC, so it's a question of being lighter or darker.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]40864[/ATTACH]
In any case, I was just wondering what exactly SP's off white is trying to match and how many people that are ordering are actually trying to match. I'm fine either way in the end, but all the whites that I have personally are pure white, so I have a little preference in that direction of course.
-
I have no preference personally, so it is up to the general consensus. My thoughts were for the off white SP color WCK to be specific, as you say Filco, Leopold, and of course all of those vintage sets out there.
-
Whats the next price break? 75 pcs?
-
Orders close tomorrow, so I think we are set at current price. Just need to collect the rest of payments, and I will get order submitted.
-
2 of each for me

Since my preference is more towards pure white than off white, I'm going to take up that general consensus argument to try to push things my way if I can. >:]
So far:
jonnybastard and I both voted for pure white
hazeluff voted for off white

Unfortunately I'm going to have to vote for off white since I have a Cherry doubleshot set coming in and I think it will be a better match.

The pure ones <3

i want off white please!

Really, off white?
Should make this black again so there's no complaints :P

I thought the argument against black was that it had been done before.
-
How about grey then, it won't match anything but the upcoming retro set! I'm not serious. They are going to be on some white or another. All these nice people have paid for their keys expecting white.
If all of those PAID people would sound off on off white or pure white especially TaeYoung (has nearly half the order), that would be the way to go.

I don't think black would work too great either with half the suits being black tsangan, but I'll assume that your "really, off white?" means that you want pure white!

Oh yeah, TeaYoung where are you? :D
-
Ideally it would match the modifiers in this pic:
and off white is closer than pure white.
-
Cherry white!
-
Should have a "shareholder's vote" where your vote is weighted based on the number of keys ordered. Where's TeaYoung when you need them!?
-
^Yes, that was more or less what I was alluding to. Only seems fair to me.
What is the Cherry modifer color in SP, WAS?

I'm down for whatever colour the Cherry Modifers are, that's like a grey more then a white
TaeYoung is sleeping :P it's like 4am there

If this can't get resolved, I suppose I could order proofs in a couple colors... then decide. That would cause a delay though.

So whats this debate about now?
White vs Offwhite vs Cherry modifier grey?

Payment sent!
I vote for pure white.

Since I dont own a set of cherry doubleshots, i vote for pure white.

Yes, too many different 'white' people want to match. We have people that want to match KBC white, Filco/Leopold, and Cherry... if you all keep arguing I will make them all on pink with teal legends... LOL.
-
if you all keep arguing I will make them all on pink with teal legends... LOL.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUU
I'm still buying them if it comes to that!
-
I'd take them if they were all teal on pink xD

Lined or Filled?
Red and Black or Poker colors?
White, off white, cherry modifier colored?
Damn, we're an indecisive bunch...

Pure white!
OR
PINK + TEAL LEGENDS! /jk

Pink on teal is awesome
-
I think this is the point where the organizer makes an executive decision.
-
RCQ on WCK for heart and diamond, (whatever black is, i can't see the letters on it) on WCK for spade and club was what I was going to order.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]41042[/ATTACH]
I actually would like a pink on teal set... or vice versa, but I was not being remotely serious about those colors for this buy.
-
That combination sounds fine! I'd be up for something that has the colour RCU in it in the future, looks pretty neat.

Sorry for my late reply.
I like off white rather than pure white.
I vote for WCK what lysol mentioned above. :)

-
Doh :pout:
-
Yes, that settles it. RCQ on WCK for heart and diamond, black on WCK for spade and club.

^ Nice. How many more payments due before you can submit the order?

Looks like there are 11 people that have pending unpaid orders.

10 or less now. I just sent payment.

i sent pm for payment details :D

Order has been submitted to SP and paid.
For the 3 unpaid people, I did order enough for your posted order, so if you still want them you can still pay for them. If not I will have a few sets to sell AFTER the order arrives for anyone that was late to the party.
-
Can i pay for one of the outstanding orders??? I really want the set but i only bought my poker yesterday and.just got wind of this groupbuy yesterday. PM me today if allowed and i will pay today via paypal and all that jazz!! thanks.
2 spades would be even better :)
-
I say sell those unpaid sets out from under them! (i.e. hook up Bertross) ;)

Received shipped notification from SP today - ahead of schedule, very amazing. Should arrive to me end of week.

That is correct, I was not able to borrow a digital. I have all my film cameras but those are not as convenient obviously. I should be finished sorting and packing by tomorrow at the latest. Freaking customs forms...

No phone camera? Webcam? I can think of like 8 devices in my apartment that have cameras...
Regardless - excited to get these!

Nope. I don't even own a cell phone and never saw appeal of webcam. I love my film which is why I don't have a regular digital either.

Thanks! I'll be adding some things to it I think. Maybe some of the meme keys or riddler ?s...but honestly I don't exactly want to spoil the rainbow keys...so maybe I should look into replacing just my white keys.

Yeah, it looks good as is now.. if you add more keycaps then it just gonna look too cluttered and ruin the raibow keys like you said. =P

My keys didn't show up today. I'm a little worried at this point since I've received stuff from Canada in a shorter timeframe. I'm wondering if maybe the address got recorded incorrectly. Do you have a receipt that lists the destination zip codes or an electronic record you could double check?
-
Do you have any kits left over?
-
Just received the package = ) Keys look amazing.
-
Well that sucks. If they've made it to Europe before they made it to Colorado they probably won't ever get here.
-
Haven't received mine either ...

Canada and Colorado. I'm sensing a trend here. Maybe as a money saving measure the USPS no longer delivers to destinations that begin with the letter C. Anyone from Connecticut order a set? ;)

Yeah in Canada our mail service is by dog sled. I don't have mine either.

They are really good caps but IMO the first round are much better, I like the outline and the shape of the suits is better. But these look good on my white filco
-
Got mine yesterday. Very nice, though I would have preferred pure white, I think it matches all non-OEM keycaps (SP, WASD, PBTs from Asia) as only the OEMs seem to make these creamy colored keycaps instead of pure white.
-
when you put them on a white filco they look like pure white, shame the rest of the board is brown

Whoa really? Dang, white Filcos must look /really/ creamy then.
