No grey modifiers :((
Quick question. Will the grey modifiers be darker than the grey modifiers from the original RA set? And regarding the Tsangan kit, does the pricing include all 3 colors? Or is it just for 1 color?Same color grey as the original set. Check the pictures of the actual grey in inlikeflynns pics I posted, but be mindful that they are still just a picture, I'm fairly sure the color temperature in that pic makes them look more yellow.
How about individual order for Red Enter? It will look great with the base set. I saw some guys here did it with the original set.

Tsangan kit is just for 1 color. Yes you'd have to buy all 3 if you bought all 3 options for modifier colors.
I like PBT too, however, what if PBT dyesub GB will never happen :-<.

Ordered. Waited a long time for this. 1x Base, 1x Red Mod and 1x Grey Mod.
Wish we could get the GH key separate from the Tsangan though.
It kind of sucks you have to buy the base kit and modifiers separately, if for example you were planning on ALWAYS using red modifiers, there's not a lot of point in also having the white modifiers. it makes your order like $30 more than it would need to be.
Why? are darker colors of plastic more expensive than lighter ones?
As soon as the price drops to that of 200 orders, I will take one base set and a 104 addon. (That should do for filling a complete us layout filco right?)

Right that was my point, I wish there was an option to buy the base set with red modifiers INSTEAD of white ones. If i'm never going to put the white modifiers on my board, I'd rather not pay for them.

You know, putting in your order right now will get you there faster. Saying you will order later helps nobody. I wish people would stop doing this crap.

You know it would probably be even more expensive since it would be like buying a completely new set?
Say 100 people want the current all white base set and only 4 want what you want.
Yeah, you aren't getting that 100 order discount.
Because you ask so nicely. (I thought *somethingh* it and went ahead.)
Hereby I place my order of:
1x Red Alert set
1x 104
Shipping to the Netherlands
What if the base set didn't include any modifiers, and white modifiers were an add-on themselves. That would fix that problem. Either way, I'm already waiting on more sets than I have boards, so I'm passing on this one.
I was just saying it would be more expensive than it would theoretically need to be for what I would want from this set. Not trying to threadcrap or be argumentative or have the GB change to suit my tastes. Just explaining why I said what I said.
that COULD work.. but then that's one more split in mods for those that want white
good! see, one more closer to your 200. im sorry if i came off rude but, i see this way too often and it honestly helps nobody.

1x Red Alert

it wont. just FC200r
also, by the amount of orders this will get..
i think it would have been a great idea to do blank mods (no text, just arrows) just like the real red alert.
only a few (around 6) mods to do and it can be spread evenly around everybody so it wont hurt anybody's pockets too bad.
but probably too late for that.
It's not too late. Ragnorock just needs approval from Uranium at OTD/KBD to go ahead with that. I believe sixty forwarded that request to Uranium and is supposed to get back with Rag about yes or no on the modifiers.
WHY don't we ask 7bit to re-use the symbol in his GB round 4? IMO, it looks better than original set :-)
(Attachment) 51871[/ATTACH]
Btw, still confused about the color of red modifiers kit, is it the same red as the number row in KBD's set?
I'll be moving to Japan by October. Still unsure what address I should put in the message, .... hmmm....These should arrive on your doorstep by September at the latest, you're in the states for now right? Feel free to PM me around the time they ship out so we can make sure. They should get to me by early-mid July, which gives them plenty of time to show up at your door.
And the stepped caps too. Looks like I'm going to have a massive order of modifiers in both colors and tsangsan in both colors just to get that center stem stepped capslock.That was a photoshopping error on my part. When I grabbed the image from Bavman at 1am last night I didn't notice it wasn't white. The modifier kits do not come with colored spacebars, as that wasn't part of the original scheme and it increases the cost of an already expensive add on kit significantly. Fixed the image.
I'll talk to Melissa about putting them in the modifier kits instead, and including the center stemmed stepped caps in the base set, as well as the GH esc, providing it doesn't change the price a lot, we'll do that. The whole point of the add on kits is to prevent people from buying keycaps they don't need as much as possible. If including them in the Tsangan kit doesn't achieve that, I'll change it. That may mean that the GEEK HACK key comes in red on white instead of inverse though, since it may need to be all one color scheme for the base set.
What's up with the space bar in the modifier kits? Are they going to be red and grey respectively or just white. In the Red mod kit picture the spacebar is white, but in the grey mod kit the space bar is grey.
It kind of sucks you have to buy the base kit and modifiers separately, if for example you were planning on ALWAYS using red modifiers, there's not a lot of point in also having the white modifiers. it makes your order like $30 more than it would need to be.
I'm probably just going to pass on this for now, since I'll finally have trading leverage when my CC&G, and all my R4 sets come.
Right that was my point, I wish there was an option to buy the base set with red modifiers INSTEAD of white ones. If i'm never going to put the white modifiers on my board, I'd rather not pay for them.
@ragnorockGood point, I figured out late in the night that there were actually 8 things being offered and not 6, so I forgot to update that. I did get the order counters updated though! Lol
I think you gotta modify the sample order. You missed out on Tsangan white/red/grey
I didn't see it the first time.
Actually, it would make the base sets cheaper (fewer keys), and each person could choose whether they want white, red, or grey modifiers. There would be at least as many modifier orders as base kits. The only people it might get more expensive for are people who want white modifiers, if there is reduced interest in those. But I do feel like I'm subsidizing, in a way, the white modifiers for those people that want them, when I don't.You get a discount for including them in the larger kit. Essentially if you make it a full keyset, the price is different than buying everything separate even if each one is the same quantity. Thus it would be more expensive for everyone to offer it the way you suggest.
In the first post, in the sentence directly above the three side by side pictures you state, "We will not be doing the numrow of red on white keys or the special keys though." Is that correct? Don't you mean "numrow of white of red", meaning no modifiers for the numrow. I would think the base kit would include "numrow red on white". Am I missing something here?That's another typo, thanks for pointing it out. It is supposed to say what you thought it should.
Thanks,
John
It's not too late. Ragnorock just needs approval from Uranium at OTD/KBD to go ahead with that. I believe sixty forwarded that request to Uranium and is supposed to get back with Rag about yes or no on the modifiers.This is correct. We will use the custom legends if possible.
Just sent you a pm for the followingTsangan kit comes with the 7x spacebar, which is larger and doesn't fit most modern keyboards. Its meant for compatibility with other styles (winkeyless) and not just a kit where we add on spares for commonly used keys... but since it looks like you've got those boards, you could order extra tsangan kits for spare spacebars if you want. Unfortunately there is no way to buy an extra 6.25x spacebar without buying a whole new base set.
3 x Red Alert
3 x Red Modifier
1 x Grey Modifier
1 x Tsangan White
1 x Tsangan Red
1 x Tsangan Grey
1 x 104
3 x ISO
Any chance for the ISO kit to include at least the shift key in the different modifier colors? Still just one kit but with all the shifts included.
How about spare spacebars?
Using his SVGs; sixty is not opposed, but since Uranium single-handedly paid for the RA modifier legends, he gets to make the decision whether or not we are permitted to use them for this set.
I love you!I'd do it, but the problem with that is how similar they look to Uranium's legends. Using 7bit's legends is only necessary if Uranium says no, in which case we'd likely upset him by using ones that look almost exactly the same on the keys that he has done custom legends for. If he says yes... well we don't need to use 7bit's. In any case, its not a matter of whether I'm too proud to take something from 7bit, he taught me a lot about group buys, for which I am very appreciative. Its a great idea but doesn't solve the actual problem. I could front the fees to do the custom legends myself, but I want to avoid stepping on anyone's toes, especially since we got the blessing to do the original set when we weren't expecting to.
Maybe Ragnorock is too proud to take something from me.
But if he wants them, it would be nice if I'd get 50% of the legends fees back.
should do a blue alert instead imo!Shhh, secret! That's what I'm planning for a PBT set. Just trying to figure out if there are any more creative legends that could be used that everyone will like rather than the same olds. The Diablo set is a really great example of how this could be accomplished. I was thinking of a Metal Gear Solid set, but that font actually sucks.

Unfortunately there is no way to buy an extra 6.25x spacebar without buying a whole new base set.Unfortunately I don't have a board with that uses a 7x spacebar. Just trying to cover my bases for the future.
Anyways, about the ISO kit, I could include the shift key in different colors, but the enter key would still be off color if you decided to go with one of the mod options. If the ISO kit gets decent counts I'll consider adding the JRET and the shift in all 3 colors. Those that would be interested in buying the ISO kit if this change was made please speak up. I don't want to offer it in all 3 colors, but if the demand is there of course I can do it all in one set because the discounts make up for it.Although I would love a red/grey JRET it's not nearly as important as a red/grey shift. A white JRET could go with any of the modifier colors without looking all that out of place. But one white and one red/grey shift would look mighty weird.
Unfortunately I don't have a board with that uses a 7x spacebar. Just trying to cover my bases for the future.Not very many people are fans of SP's spacebars to begin with (too sharp or something) so I'm glad you can live without.
Too bad about no spare spacebar. But it's no big deal really.
I would have bought a few if they were available, but I can definitely live without.

Fair enough, adding a couple more keys to the ISO kit shouldn't be a problem, but I'll see what she says about them being multiple different colors. I'll get quotes for 3 JRETs and 3 shifts, and another with just 3 shifts, to compare them.Thank you. That's awesome. Hopefully they won't be all that expensive.
So it is $37 per modifier set? Or is that for both?
Per color (red or grey) and if you buy more than we pay less!!!
Honestly I'd like to see them both hit about 100, but that means most everyone who orders picks up one or the other... or both. ;)
Also the reason why its so expensive is because its all of the expensive keys, which make up about half the cost of a full set.
Still, at those prices I'm pretty sure this is cheaper than the original RA set.
**as a side note, we have been bombarded by price increases from our suppliers, which means the next round of keycaps that we supply to you will have a higher unit price. I can honor these set prices, but won't be able to in the future.
Translation: This is the cheapest you will ever see a doubleshot keyset ever again!
DUN DUN DUN!:scared:
You might want to find it before this closes, I just got word from Melissa that their prices are going up after this buy.

lets hope quality control also increases
Hello, I'm interested in making a purchase, but I am most likely moving on August 1st (same city, just different place with a classmate). Would this be an issue if I have to change my address after I make my payment?
Just to let everyone know, I made the changes I mentioned earlier to the Tsangan and Base sets. I reverted the Tsangan kit to its original form, and lumped the center stem stepped caps lock and the GEEK HACK key in with the base set, with only a small increase in price. The price increase in the Tsangan kit would have been much more significant.
As discussed earlier, here are the options for putting multicolor keys in with the current ISO set.
Pricing for the ISO sets is below:
Option A: Full Red on White ISO set plus White on red and red on grey short shifts and blank JRETs in red and grey (8 keys)
15 sets $21.00 per set
25 sets $16.00 per set <- Target Price
50 sets $12.00 per set
75 sets $11.00 per set
100 sets $10.00 per set
Option B: Full Red on White ISO set plus only the extra short shifts, no extra JRETs in all 3 colors
15 sets $14.00 per set
25 sets $11.00 per set <- Target Price
50 sets $9.00 per set
75 sets $8.00 per set
100 sets $7.00 per set
Option C: Original ISO set15 keysets $13.00
25 keysets $10.00 <- Target Price
50 keysets $8.00
75 keysets $7.00
100 keysets $6.00
Okay so as you can see, the extra short shifts to match the modifier set are only a dollar more for the two of them, so we will do that at the least, and it's up to you guys whether the extra JRETs are worth the extra premium. ISO users please chime in.
I'm about to update the OP with all of the orders from the first day, I've got about 30 PMs in my inbox. Keep it up guys, hitting 300 with this would be awesome.
I also vote for Option A for the ISO kit. I don't mind paying a few dollars extra to have a matching color JRET.
Also, what would everyone think about including a center stemmed stepped caps lock in the modifier kits?
Is the GH key included in the base set going to be red on white? Just like the one from the recent GB? If so, that is fine, but can we get a color matching GH key in the modifier kits, as well?
Thanks for adding the Stepped Cap key and GH key tot he base set.Yes the keys with the base set are at the moment, all red on white. They are no longer in the Tsangan set. If anything they belong in the modifier sets, since many are only buying the Tsangan kit for compatibility, not to get special keys.
I'm sure they will be red on white correct?
In order to get a white on red do we still have to buy the Tsangan set?
... If the forum wants me to add a stepped caps and/or esc key to the modifier sets, expect about a $2 increase in price to those kits as well. Since they're pretty expensive already I'm disinclined to do that but again, I am at the will of the forum. With the exception of the last the poll results, I do actually listen to you guys. :P
Right that was my point, I wish there was an option to buy the base set with red modifiers INSTEAD of white ones. If i'm never going to put the white modifiers on my board, I'd rather not pay for them.
Red on white gh keycap? I just did that.
Why don't u do white on red?
Mmm... is there any possibility of a red alert WASD only keys purchase? I would love a keyset of red on white wasd and cursor keys...Nope, gotta get the set. That isn't what this is about.
I agree with demik...theres an abundance of red on white GH keys around..If you were paying attention, I mentioned multiple times that I'm doing that if it doesn't cost any extra to do inverted vs regular colors.
Does anyone else want 1x1 window and fn keys besides me? .__.

Tsangan kit. Star and Diamond.
WTH is Because... ?No idea, but someone not man enough to PM me if he has a problem. Just some troll obviously.
Tsangan kit needs windows/fn 1x1 keys along side diamond and star (tbh, it could replace the star as I'm not a huge fan of it anyways.)!!
For the choc mini owners to have a near full set (the spacebar is their problem lol)
Not the star and diamond, I mean the ones that have the win symbol and says fn, >< they're from the original base kit but aren't included in this gb. ;_; would it be possible to add if enough people wanted it? ._.

Did I miss an option to get the custom glyphs for the modifier keys (like in the first RA buy)? I never even saw that one go by me and I'd love it if there was an option in this buy to replicate it as closely as possible (e.g. red-on-white modifiers, all custom glyphs).
I'd eyeball 4 or 5 sets.

Isn’t doing group buys pretty much business? Somehow you have to avoid taxes on your volume, and just pay them on income.
Determining Whether Sales Are Hobby or Business
Income made from online sales can be reported to the IRS as "hobby income" if the sales activity qualifies as a hobby according to the IRS, i.e. sale without the intention of making money. For example, a recreational photographer selling a photo on eBay should report the sale as hobby income. One test is whether the seller has made no profit from the hobby in two of five consecutive years. If the income does qualify as a hobby income, sellers can deduct hobby expenses from the income but cannot use hobby losses to offset other non-hobby income.
Link. My GFs dad sells baseball cards on Ebay (thousands per year) and hobby losses is how he offsets the taxable hobby income.
Gah, want these so bad but by the time I get the keyset + modifiers + 104 + ISO + shipping, it'll end up costing more than my keyboard -__-

Guys, trust me. Get yourself a set of grey modifiers...

You won't be disappointed.
Also my set includes the \ | key that the original did not, for those that think it looks funny without it.
Noob Quiz?
Which set do I need to get for Poker & Filco tkl?
To modify an existing order have i to pm you the new total order or just the different part of it?
No unfortunately not. I figured adding the center stemmed version was enough in the base set. I suppose I could add it to them but with the number of people already committed to the sets, its a little late to make that sort of change since it increases the price. It'd add about a dollar to each of the mod kits to include it. (It would be less at higher quantities)
I know you guys love your stepped caps, but getting it in the base set may have to be good enough for now. :P
@ Inlikeflynn: ah, I never noticed it in your set, good call.
A dollar is trivial. Add center stemmed stepped caps lock to the mod kits. Don't pull an imsto...please.
All I'm saying is that I need more than 3 people saying they want it, I have a guy who single handedly has ordered 30 sets, if a couple of the really big orders want it, then I'll do it, but its a more significant price increase for them. I'll send some PMs to the larger orders later today if they don't respond on their own.
Dunno, nobody suggested it until you. Its pretty late to make changes to the legends though (aside from getting the original legends.)

I just realized this won't have the manpurse capslock legend :(
I thought it was the intention to print those on the front for every new set we do a GB for now. I would like them, also.
If we can work in the front printing, I would also be interested in that.
Going to front print sys req and break?
Turned out looking great on CCnG set.
This is the first I heard of it. Note no mention of it in the OP or in the interest check thread... I'd like to see a quote of where I said that. In the Ragnarok group buy, I said that the "Print" key would be fixed for the next round, nothing else. Again, the only ones fighting for it are you, Dan and Kyljoy. I need more than the desires of 3 people to add a dollar to 150-200 orders. The way Melissa made it sound in the email made it seem like it would be more than that but I'll ask anyways. Also since I don't want to have a set of 3 pad printed keys and the rest doubleshots they'd either have to be 3 additional keys or doubleshots that received just the side printing as pad printing. Not sure if that is even possible or what the cost difference is.uh, i just told you the cost.
@ Longweight, yeah I'm pretty sure. I don't have one though so I'm not exactly sure what the requirements are. Others will know better.

Eeeeh, that's pushin it. I like it to be clean and adding a 3rd color that's only on 2 keys doesn't sit well with my ocd. I get how that could look pretty sharp, especially since its pretty rare to see a key with 3 colors on it that isn't a dyesubbed image, but I want it to match.
I agree with this wholeheartedly. My OCD is more severe than yours b/c I think having only two keys with front printing flanking one without front printing would make me nervous LOL.All key sets have this. Or at least 90%.
It does look interesting and unique, however.
I guess I ought to STFU until I place an order though.
Sorry man, you had me doing it until I saw how big the price increase was. Decreased the prices on the base set by $1 btw everyone.
I never did get a response from Sixty. I have no means to get in contact with Uranium myself, so if anyone knows him and would be willing to translate a message into Korean for me I'd like to try that. Otherwise it looks like we're stuck with standard legends. I'll send Sixty another reminder.
Edit: Sent him a reminder.
Pretty hard to get him via PM :(
Maybe try a public shout-out as a last resort?
As this Groupbuy is closing soon:
Is there somewhere a complete list of keyboards which require the Tsangan addon kit?
I own a Blackwidow but I'm currently searching for a Tenkeyless Keyboard with red switches and ISO layout if available (prolly Filco as Coolermaster won't release the Quickfire with Reds and ISO Layout anytime soon :/)
So atm I doesn't need one but am afraid I would need one later and get angry cause it's too late :/ But shelling out 50$ preemptively prolly isn't super smart either :(

They're pretty rare. As for your question, you wouldn't need the Tsangan kit for a Filco or Quickfire ISO board, just the ISO kit.

Blue Alert sounds nice, yeah : DShhh, its under wraps still. I'm working on something really cool but it might require that I actually start up a business and make a website n shiz. We'll see. I can probably do it without, but with the amount of money running through my paypal this year, I'm going to have to start paying taxes on its income if I keep this pace up.

PBT dye subs on WFJ
Please don't forget us ISO people PLEASE.
I forgot to say "PAID" when I paid. :thumb:
Good thing you caught that, because if you didn't post 'paid', the payment wouldn't count ;)
Also there is no need to come up with silly names like "Blue Alert," they're already named. :evil:
There will probably be some form of ISO compatibility, but the JRET can't be PBT since SP doesn't make them, so it'll likely be an ABS blank in WFK (what I believe is the WFJ equivalent for ABS) or whatever matches WFJ the best.
Also there is no need to come up with silly names like "Blue Alert," they're already named. :evil:
There will be even modifiers sets?Something better but no probably not.
Why do people wait until the last minute (or after) to try to place their order? To wait for prices to drop? If everyone did that, the GB would never get any orders, and the prices would NEVER go down.
Hey Dave,
I keep getting an error when trying to pay my invoice. Keeps saying "This recipient does not accept payments denominated in MYR. Please contact the seller and ask him to update his payment receiving preferences to accept this currency."
Edit: The stupid Paypal is having problems processing my credit transaction anyway :(
What parts do I need to buy if I want to have this Red Alert set on a Pure or a Poker (most likely a pure)For the Poker just the base set. For the Pure it's tricky because the right shift is not standard. Simply comparing pictures would have brought you this conclusion.
....See my CCnC set on my Pure as an example.
Apparently Fentek Industries makes them? Just not for us.

TG3 Electronics BL82 Keyboard uses double-shot PBT for their backlit keyboards. So yes, it's possible. Finding a company to produce them, on the other hand, is nearly impossible.
For some reason I thought Fentek made the keycaps for the BL82.
iirc, those keycaps are abs/Pbt hybrids. As they are two piece keycaps.
Removable two piece? I think not
If i wasn't on my phone I'd pull up ripster's picture of his deck keycaps in two pieces.
How are we going to break the fingers? Hammer smashing? or nail into a board, put finger against nail and then hammer the finger in a way that doesn't bend? Slam into door? I could go on :evil:
I prefer to use nutcrackers. Pay up! Tired of these annoying ABS keycaps that I'm using.
But use only Model Ms :D
The right shift on the Pure is 1.75 units. If you want to put this set on a pure, you need the "1800" shift included with the Tsangan kit. You will also need a 1-unit key of that same profile, for the "~" tilde key to the right of the right shift on the Pure. The star and diamond keys in the Tsangan kit work quite nicely. See my CCnC set on my Pure as an example.

How does it look with the back lighting on? Also did you memorize the function layer or just keep it nearby written down until you do?
To be honest, I hardly ever use the backlighting. So, I really don't know. I have since taken those keycaps off, that was just for one picture.
Really, the only things I use on the function layer are the directional arrows, which I memorized (OKL;), and delete, which is fn + backspace.
Well these are abs also.
So uhh yeah. Sending in the order tomorrow, and not a single invoice was paid today. Still 18 left. Sigh.Yeah! +1 for Pink on White! That would be a great Valentine present for my GF =]]
Also just bought one of those pink Filco tenkeylesses with the lotus on it for the GF. Who's up for color adjustment in PS of the RA set to make a super sweet pink on white set?
Too many key cap sets, not enough keyboards :(
Man, I wish I could do this, but I'm really tight on money right now. Guess I'll wait for Round 3 ;)
Is it possible to take Changdrew's payment for the Red Alert set?

so, no not a deal. it should be part of it
you're very picky with your prices. and you get mad because we're picky with the product?
It'd be min 15 @~$35 each. No megusta.
Yeah its not meant to be rude, its just that it should be obvious I'm just trying to keep everyone happy, including our supplier. If SP keeps losing money doing these group buys for us, they're going to price it out of what we can afford, which I'm sure nobody here wants. We're already looking at $100 per PBT TKL set @ 100 orders, even after I negotiated a reduced price increase... because it was going to be $120-130. Pretty sure doubleshots are going to be in the $60-70 range @200 orders now too, but I haven't gotten those numbers recently.
well to be fair, CCnG has been pretty good so far.
I also dislike the tab arrows. To much space between them, for me it doesn't look so good.
Either like Cherry where the space between the arrows is filled with Tab like in DanGWanG's pic: http://i.imgur.com/qHhUb.jpg
Or like the KBC tab where the space between the arrows is much less and are aligned to the Tab like in detto87's (DT) pic: http://www.abload.de/img/img_00391hryj.jpg
[...] but it amazes me at how anal geekhackers can be with keycaps.Funny. GHer here, DTer there, redditor over there.
And ofc, I'm not anally knocking you, AKIMbO.
Holy crap those red modifiers look so good. I hate to be that guy, but if there are extras of just those I totally want some. I don't know why I didn't order them in the first place.

Just used your words in one sentence.And ofc, I'm not anally knocking you, AKIMbO.
Lol...I hope not. XD
I for one don't really give two poops :). I'm really looking forward to the set getting to me.
Probably because he isn't anal.....thank you thank you...I'll be here all night.I for one don't really give two poops :). I'm really looking forward to the set getting to me.
Why you always have to mention poop :<
I don't know how to say this, but a mockup isn't a mockup if it isn't like what the real product will be.
Maybe we should start using a different word for the image used to show the likeness of what we are buying. Especially if it won't look like the final product.
Maybe call it a rough approximation of what it might look like?
I for one don't really give two poops :). I'm really looking forward to the set getting to me.
Coolio. Just got word that they've shipped, but I have to wait for the White on Red Esc keys anyways (which will ship monday) so they'll be shipping out on schedule rather than early.
Holy crap those red modifiers look so good. I hate to be that guy, but if there are extras of just those I totally want some. I don't know why I didn't order them in the first place.I agree. I had originally ordered the gray modifier set, but ultimately decided to change it to the red set, and I'm glad that I did.
****, now i regret not getting the red mods.Me.too
I only got the gray, and I don't regret it for a femtosecond :). Really looking forward to getting this set. Maybe this will be one I will keep for a long period of time. I always end up changing my keycaps for some reason. Maybe I need more keyboards? :))
That also likely means that if you don't catch a mistake, you may be SOL, as the burden of correctness now lies on you once you give the go ahead.
Seriously, has any GB gone smoothly the past few months on here? This, CCnG, RACE kbs, all having issues. I'm not pointing fingers, I'm just kind of raging in general right now, lol.Yeah, most of i3oiler's novelty keys, the geekhacks, hieroglyphics... **** happens. Raging over GBs is like blowing in the wind.
Nono, Melissa/SP owned up to their mistake. They're willing to just replace them and eat a multi thousand dollar loss, but its generally good business practice to take care of your supplier whenever possible. I guess that's the Supply Chain Management class I took talking. There shouldn't be any problems with what she proposes, every manufacturer I've ever studied does it that way because its simply the right way to do it. Why check for mistakes after things are made? Obviously if a key is manufactured wrong and QC didn't catch it they'll still be fixing that- that isn't what I'm talking about. I'm talking about major inconsistencies with what we've ordered such as this. So they missed an arrow on a backspace key? Yeah they'll fix that like they always do? Crooked S? Yeah no problem. What you mean you wanted purple legends instead of orange? Well on the image we sent you they were orange and you said it was correct, so that's what you get.That also likely means that if you don't catch a mistake, you may be SOL, as the burden of correctness now lies on you once you give the go ahead.
Cool so rather than own up to their mistakes they're going to take even LESS responsibility from here on out?
Time to start a GB for injection molding equipment and keycap molds...
I was under the impression the red mods include a red 6.25 space bar. I might be wrong.
I sort of regret it.....but the grey modifiers are still gonna look sick.
rag, not speaking as an admin or moderator, do you mind telling us how much you will be paying to SP per extra red mod set you sell?
i would like to pitch in to support SP and melissa, but i would, if possible, like all my money to go directly to SP/not getting melissa fired.
What I got from this is there are extra red modifier sets available right nowish. I want one, please. Any way you can sell and ship them to me without waiting for other stuff to shake out? I don't have an order in the GB, so I wouldn't be waiting for white keys.
Oh and I need to unpack and shower still, been going non-stop for the last few days trying to get here to get this done and... well now most of the urgency is gone. *sigh of relief/dejection* (does that even exist?)
Uhh yeah, 80% to SP. Because of course I'm sure you realize that it takes a lot of work to take all of the wrong keys out of 200 keysets and put all of the right keys in right? I find it hilarious how you guys think I'm just sitting over here doing nothing but rake in cash. That will take me ages to do, and not to mention packing up and selling all of the extras with most/all of the benefit going to SP. Keep vilifying me if you want, and I'll just stop doing nice things for other people?
Dude come on. People expect you to be transparent when they give you their money... nobody is vilifying you or jumping down your throat, they just want clarification.
And as far as being clear goes, you're NOT directly doing something nice for other people. You are running profitable group buys that people happen to appreciate. I don't mean to piss you off or give you a reason not to run group buys, but you sure as hell need to be comfortable stating that you make profits from these (which I believe you are) and clearly/concisely answering peoples' questions about distribution of funds (which you don't seem to be doing without a lot of prodding), or they will stop buying your services.
I still don't care.I would say you have a point if I had already shipped the keys and then put the leftovers on sale like a retailer would. When you go to a store, you buy whatever if the price is satisfactory, and though you might be irritated if you come back a week later and its on sale, but the sale wasn't happening when you bought it so meh right? I mean if you were really butthurt, you could return the item if possible, and then buy it back at the discounted price. The difference here is that nobody's gotten the stuff yet. If we were all pre-ordering Starcraft 2 Heart of the Swarm, and Gamestop thought the price was going to be $60, and everyone put that down as a deposit, but it turns out Blizzard is releasing it for $30, then Gamestop would be expected to refund the difference. Make sense? Like I said earlier, I won't be discounting the last sets I'm having trouble selling further than the $20, even though everyone will have gotten their keys by that point, but that's a personal choice since the goal isn't for me to make money off of SP's mistake, its to be as pragmatic and fair as possible to all parties.
Even if you sell those false red mods for 10 bucks. It doesn't make any difference for me.
I paid the price, the money is gone anyway. I settled with that...
i don't know why you guys are being so silly.
ragnorock is not obligated to give back any money to SP since it was their mistake to begin with...
technically ~85 red mod sets are rags and he can do whatever he pleases with them.
he is choosing to sell them for $20 and is being nice and is offering to donate some of the proceeds to SP since he feels bad.
lets THANK rag for being a nice person and donating any to SP at all...
i don't recall any of previous GB errors by SP getting bailed out. (this may not be entirely true but PUBLICLY it is)
now lets understand that the error made by SP this particular time is more harmful than the previous errors but this is probably also the SAME REASON that rag is even offering to donate proceeds in the first place...
and something to think about: rag could have been a douchbag and not said anything at all to us and just gone to another forum to sell these mod sets
But let me know if you end up selling some extra red mods. I'll surely grab one for my set :).
I suddenly seem to need them with my new keyboard ;p.
The petty BS in the last few pages is just sad.
The petty BS in the last few pages is just sad.

Looks great! So these will ship when you receive the 'red on white' modifiers for base kit and the 'white on red' geek hack esc key from SP?
I personally don't have a problem with him making a small margin
No joke, I told the guys in the trolling thread to screw themselves because I simply don't have time to put up with their conspiracy theories and bs anymore. They can say what they want, I've got keycaps to ship.
I've been separating red mods from the base kits for the last 6 hours, my brain is mush! Judging by the difference in pile size it looks like I'm about 10% done. Gotta get hot if I'm going to have time to get all the rest of the prep work done in time for Friday!Let Dan help you. Let him bring along some friendly plants and the sorting will go much smoother :D
Have you received the red on white modifiers?

Quit showing of your uber 1337 red on white biohazard escape key!11!!1!
i keep thinking that biohazard is dark red on light blue, because of the white balance. That color combo would be ****ing incredible for a doubleshot set. I would do such things to make that happen.
GOT MY SHIPPING NOTIFICATION.
Thank you!
Dave can mine be.... marked at a reduced value please?
International takes a while anyways and that way I can spend the night filling out the customs forms/dealing with stamps.com's cumbersome interface. No promises on getting EVERYONE today, I decided this just recently after giving up on dealing with internationals at the moment.
Speaking of that. Yours needs a bigger box! PM incoming.Replied to your PM. Yes, you are right. Thanks!
Rag, just use your own or the number for dunkin donuts. I always just use my own phone number.
If I don't make it back to those remaining international orders, they will ship out Monday.
Dave out
Uhh, this is the Red Alert thread buddy, not CCnG lol.
Anyways, everything has been labelled and paid for, and is ready to go out tomorrow. The only two left are Prava and Korn1009, whose orders ran into a couple of small issues. Korn1009's order is too large to fit into a small box (I tried really hard to get them to fit because the price difference is pretty big,) but they just aren't going to fit without running a very high risk of damaging the keys or the box exploding. So, I have yet to ship it because I'm waiting on a response from him on whether he wants to pay for a medium box or two smalls. If someone sees this and knows him tell him to check his PMs please! Prava on the other hand was a bit less fortunate. Either I mistakenly put an extra grey mod set in somebody's package, or SP shorted me one. Either is likely, probably more likely that I screwed up, but hey never count SP out. Either way, Prava if you could check your PMs I did send you one asking what you'd like to do, whether it be a refund, or we wait until SP makes a new set for me to ship to you or the honest recipient of the mistakenly shipped set steps forward and I'll pay for them to ship it to you.
Cheers,
Dave out.
PS: To all the guys saying I don't work hard enough for all of this supposed money I'm rolling in, I've been working 18+ hour days for over the last week on this group buy, for which I am greeted with rude slander and libel in return. Haters gonna hate, but they can all kiss my ass because no matter how hard this is or how much work it ends up being, its worth it to see these projects brought to life. This summer was extremely fun for me doing this instead of slaving away detailing cars. For that everyone, you have my thanks.

You bet, don't ever stop running anymore Group Buys Dave.........never stop. From now on I'm buying anything you are running, to me this Group Buy was fast, professional, always informed about what's going on and basically you told the truth. I like that a lot.
You will still have a lot of people who trust you and are happy in dealing with you no matter what happens.

Who hasn't gotten their sets yet? I'm looking to put in the replacement keys request to SP soon, so there will be a deadline for reporting missing keys... and it seems almost everyone has gotten it so that could be soon.
Well the odds are low that something will be missing, but that sure is annoying how one package has arrived and the other hasn't. I mean identical addressing and everything.

@ Metalliqaz, its not impossible to clean out, just pull the keycap and use some degreaser on it. If you want to be extra careful you can always cover the visible sides with packing tape or something so you don't get any degreaser on it, but most degreasers are harmless to plastic.
are these still for sale? I am new to this website and I am VERY VERY interested in buying a set of these.

First Post!
I've been looking for these sets based on some of the posts in 'post your poker'. I got my Poker2 yesterday and I'm loving it! I'm really new to the process, how would I go about rallying buyers for another order?
J.
Produce 57 more valuable posts (to reach 60), then start an IC (interest check) thread in the relevant section.
I'm pretty sure between this, Klaxon, and Klaxon round 2, GH may be a bit saturated with Red Alert at the moment... if you're looking for one your best bet is probably looking in the classifieds, as I'm not sure there will be enough interest to run another group buy soon. However, if you generate the interest and want me to run it, I'll certainly do so.
Thanks for the response, I'll certainly keep an eye on the classifieds. Here's hoping someone would like to sell. I've PM'd a few users offering there RA sets in the marketplace but I'm yet to hear back.
What sort of order quantities would you need to warrant a third round?
To be honest I'm not really sure. If I was to say an arbitrary number like 30 or 50, that isn't even enough to make it affordable for everyone, yet only a fraction of group buy participants actually show up in interest check threads. Basically anything where the interest accumulates quickly and the thread stays on top of the section. If you were to go about posting it you can send me a PM and I can contribute my input/info.
Note* I'm assuming that because you're relatively new some of the following may not make sense, so let me know if you need clarification on anything.
If we were to do a rerun, I've gotten permission from 7bit to use his custom legends, so it would be different from the 2.0/Klaxon, and much closer to the original Red Alert. I'm thinking that's something a lot of people would be interested in. Also I would run it exactly the same way I ran the last one, since I would want it to be the same custom colors I picked out... the new ordering system that some organizers are using doesn't apply to colors outside the limited set that they have for that system... however comparing prices between Klaxon and this group buy, the prices should still be cheaper if we merit enough orders.
Also, you can certainly throw up a WTB thread in the classifieds if you haven't. Not sure if you need more posts to do that, but expect sellers to ask for a gifted payment on your end since you have no reputation.
Thanks for the response, I'll certainly keep an eye on the classifieds. Here's hoping someone would like to sell. I've PM'd a few users offering there RA sets in the marketplace but I'm yet to hear back.
What sort of order quantities would you need to warrant a third round?
There are probably 1000+ white and red sets floating around in the wild by now ... your best course of action is to post a WTB (want-to-buy) thread in the classifieds when you reach 60 posts. I think the userbase is pretty much done with Red Alert knock-off group buys.
Interest check with no interest right away hoping to drum up interest later => no interest => failed group buy.
I started up one for some super legit PBT sets knowing it would take a very long time to drum up enough interest for them... they got almost none because I didn't have a set schedule.
There will probably be room to do another run come Spring/Summer '14. Till then, there's plenty of sets floating around out there, enough that they aren't even commanding a big margin.

Good point.
Depends how desperately HackJoe wants them, I guess :)
