Title: [In Hand, Taking Orders] O-Ring Sampler Kit
Post by: n00bca3k on Sat, 23 June 2012, 22:35:41
I have purchased all three types of O-Rings offered by WASD, as well as the soft and firm landing pads from Elite Keyboards, and they all finally arrived today.

I am selling 23 sample packs of 5 of each type of key dampener, so 25 pieces total, at $3.65 + shipping. Shipping is just a standard envelope with the orings enclosed, by regular post, and is thus $0.45 for domestic, and $1.05 for international (or so it seems).

To order please send me a PM with how many sets (otherwise I will presume 1), your paypal email, and your shipping address. I will PM you my paypal email once I verify that I still have stock and that shipping is correct to your location. This also ensures that people don't send me money after all sets have been accounted for!

Sets left at time of edit:

Boy wasn't expecting that much response that fast! 6 left! I'm sending out invoices atm, decided I had to put it all in a spreadsheet first to keep track. Wasn't expecting more than 5 or so bites in the first week. I've put a list of people and quantities in the first post. Let me know if you don't see your name, don't get a PM, or if I got the wrong number!

I'll take a set, though I think your price is a bit low.  Pretty generous.

I'm not making a profit, just covering costs!

You can run a GB for full sets later if you'd like.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news for the early payers, but I got roped into something tonight! I'll be putting together the envelopes tomorrow after work for everyone that has paid by then, and will try to see if I can drop it off before 6PM down the block for late pickup. If you sent me a PM, but I haven't responded, hold on! Trying to setup some show for the fam, then back to work on my many projects...

Just finished the last of the invoices - sold out. If you didn't get an invoice, it is because I didn't have any left - sorry! I'm waiting on 5 more people to pay, and will give them a week to do so before opening up their samples to those that have sent me PMs after I ran out. Off to go ship all this stuff. Will be in the mail tomorrow.

Wow those sold fast, sounds like you will have to offer more of these sampler packs in the future.

Kudos on the great idea! ^_^

Just put them in the mailbox for pickup in the morning. All but one who hasn't payed yet (I believe, might have missed it).

Gotta say, I'm happy I didn't do more. Although if I did more it would probably be a lot quicker per envelope.... Perhaps someone with more time on their hands will do a big GB.

Also, I apologize in advanced if you received only 4 40A-L instead of 5. I ended up with 1 more than I should have, so either I messed up or WASD messed up. Also, the 40A-L and the 40A-R can be distinguished by their size. The 40A-R is noticeably thicker.

I mean if I could get even remotely what I could earn doing other menial work, I might. I just wanted to do the minimum needed to cover my costs. Also, perhaps we can spawn off a sample sharing program? I honestly wouldn't be upset giving away my $3 in samples once I decide which one I like best, provided the next person in the chain tries to do the same.

I had been waiting for the verdict to come in on what size is best but this is an opportunity to try them all at once.

Man... I still haven't even tried mine. Too little time for keyboards when I have all these other projects going on!

Sorry for disappearing - didn't realize GH recovered after the end of June hacks.

Hope everyone got their kits! Seems quite a few did.

I got mine! Thanks again! :)

Turns out I'm not a fan of any of them though. I'll stick to my keyboard as is ;)

If anyone wants to give them a shot, let me know and I'll pass them on!

Sorry! They got claimed fast. Going out to oTurtlez. Hopefully he/she will do the same and pass them on once he/she has tried them out.

So how did all participants feel about the o-rings and landing pads? I was considering getting some O-rings for my work MX Blue keyboard. That way it has all the great tactile and click, but without the loud bottom out noise that comes along with it... Just no idea which one to go with lol

As I stated myself, I preferred the feeling of the reds on their own without any O-rings/pads. :S
