How long after this GB hits 40 and payment is sent will these boards ship out?you don't need to send the payment to me before the boards are produced, I'll take a pic of them when they've produced :) so don't be worry
Would there be any price decrease if we can get a certain number of orders? :)may be the price can be lower for 3 dollar when we hit 3 cartons (60 boards)
How long after this GB hits 40 and payment is sent will these boards ship out?
quick question, because i just noticed this right now.haha,, I don't know, for the question you asked above, the supplier told me that he will contact their factory see how many days they need, if you guys (over 50% participant) don't accept the delivery date, I'll end this group buy.. :)
Why doesnt anyone like mx Blacks?? i got my Poker from MK.com, and it was either blacks or Tactile, so i got blacks, and i honestly dont mind them that much... why doesnt anyone like them?? :p
So late, Alu case for Poker from Imsto was closed :(I'm sure there will be more cases in the future. There is one over at DT, but it is a bit pricey. There is the Poker plate buy going on though. I'm already in for one of those.
When do orders close?this friday 2300 GMT+8

Why doesnt anyone like mx Blacks??I used MX Blacks on my first mechanical keyboard a Steelseries 7G for about a year and a half. After awhile It felt like my hands were hurting so either the springs were too hard to press down for long gaming sessions, or I was just gaming too much. Got my first keyboard with MX Browns, and then another with Reds and have not used the SS7G since and I no longer have pain in my hands when gaming. I might also be gaming less now so not 100% sure where the problem was coming from.

i foresee at least a dozen "in for one with reds" to be posted shortly.... i might be one of them as well.... lolI don't get the fascination with reds. I have a filco TKL w/ reds and they are far too soft for most uses, would dislike it for a daily driver. The problem with this GB is now we need another for a good case, lol. If only I could get this (http://deskthority.net/marketplace-f11/poker-aluminum-case-t3406.html) in a matte black (oh, and with the symbols on back in electric blue).

I'd already be in on it if it was still open.Even at that price? They have a darker one, though I'm sure it won't be matte. But you could paint it or powder coat it to get it matte. And then paint the symbols the blue you want.i foresee at least a dozen "in for one with reds" to be posted shortly.... i might be one of them as well.... lolI don't get the fascination with reds.

If this GB gets canceled im going to shoot myself in the foot >_< i've been waiting to get a poker for ages!!! common people!
Red - $100

Just buy ten for yourself and sell them to people who missed the GB. What could go wrong?
Vortex again? We saw how that went with iMav's Poker group buy...
Vortex again? We saw how that went with iMav's Poker group buy...
I tend to agree here. If it's Vortex, they haven't been very reliable in shipping a product on time, or ever, sometimes.
Can you please share some more information on past experience? i believe its important for people who are not aware of it (like myself) to have the entire picture.
Put me down for 1x Brown
From my understanding, these will be produced when we receive enough of an order. If Vortex is the one producing them, then it sounds as though this will be through Vortex. And it sounds as though, from past experiences, it won't pan out (?).
UPDATE!
The supplier told me that the production will be ready around 19. OCT-25. OCT :)
Is the delievery okay for you guys?
and 2 left :)
Im caving. In for one with redsyoure in the pending list..
well mark me down as definite. Thanks tinlongIm caving. In for one with redsyoure in the pending list..
for the question, you know what it is
http://deskthority.net/resources/image/5433
May be this is a little bit confuse for you, I HAVENT contacted directly to Vortex, because the risk is quite high for me (like the race GB from iMav). So I've found a supplier in taiwan, and he said he will settle everything for me. however, i can reduce the risk for me and you guys, so thats why you guys dont need to pay until the boards are produced (I dont want to bear so much risk, i dont want to be another iMav as well..) ;)
I just want to clarified it..
thank you for clarified my s*it english..These seem to have to be ordered in cartons of 20. Two cartons are spoken for. We've moved into a third carton, but unless 11 more are placed, this will be a pending carton.well mark me down as definite. Thanks tinlongIm caving. In for one with redsyoure in the pending list..
i3oilers order should put this right into production. Woo
Why do you guys keep supporting this company!?Seeing as I don't have to pay until they are produced I see it as very little risk to myself.
There are fellow GH'ers who have still not received anything yet from the Race GB. Plenty of complaints about QC. Vortex won't respond to iMav at all.
WTF people? Dropping the soap once not enough for you?
I just want a 60% keyboard, that isn't backlit and that has normal sized keys that I can replace easily. Is there another option?Yeah. Just buy a poker that is ready to ship, and change the switch to whichever one you want. Won't be as cheap as getting it from this GB, but you are not at risk of anything.
tinlong, just to confirm, these are still being made by Vortex, but distributed by some guy in Taiwan? I can still see some potential problems with this. First of all, Vortex is still at the very front of production line. Meaning they are in full control of when production of these will start, and how long it will take. Seeing from the past of how trustworthy their words are, I would take that finished date with a grain of salt. So is the guy in Taiwan fronting money for these since non of us has to pay first? If that's the case, make sure he take pictures of all the pokers in his hands before you send him money. That's the only way to make sure Vortex has all finished products before paying for them.I just want a 60% keyboard, that isn't backlit and that has normal sized keys that I can replace easily.

Oh I'd like one of these, thought they stopped making them... When is the deadline for this? I gotta debate on this :)GMT+8 5/10/12, 12:00 NN
Just to clarify, the production date will be ready between Oct 19-25, so does that mean they'll be ready to ship out to the buyers a week or so after that?the shippping to me may be 3-5 days, and i'll send the boards within 10 days

hmmm. Reds or Blacks for typing?
hmmm. Reds or Blacks for typing?
Why not both :P
Just recently, I used a SteelSeries 7G (MX blacks, just to give them a whirl) at a lan party and it was starting to fatiguing my fingers after two hours. When I when back to my CM with Reds, my fingers began rejoicing.
And as a side note, Reds + PBT == butter smooth typing.
Edit: Tinlong- How many more you need to fill the next carton of 20?
It just come down to personal preference I suppose. The only real niche that I have is type on pad-printed keycaps (i.e. the CM QFR ones).
hwo much is the shipping and handling?
UPDATE!
The supplier told me that the production will be ready around 19. OCT-25. OCT :)

Hey tinlong, when it comes to updates about my order on DT (I ordered as CLiB), can you send me any PMs here instead? Webwit banned me for expressing my opinion on DT, so I can't login over there...
Thanks!
-CLiB
haha, just read it!I think I just pushed it a little too far, probably why I got banned (I even got IP banned from my work PC)... it's no like I even give two ****s about Ripster's absence (it's a lot more friendly around here without him tbh) but I just don't like it when people can't defend themselves when someone is bad-mouthing them. Which was the primary reason behind my *****ing at webwit...
I shared some of my thoughts too, hope it doesn't offend anyone enough to get me banned!
This is the smallest keyboard that I have came across. Hope there will be smaller in the future. :)I think the HHKB has 1 less key than the poker.
Along with a MUCH larger price tag...This is the smallest keyboard that I have came across. Hope there will be smaller in the future. :)I think the HHKB has 1 less key than the poker.

If you need to get someone else, I'm willing to get in as a replacement for one of the orders as long as its for 1 keyboard.

If your not set on Pokers there are some similar boards here: http://attarian.taobao.com/?spm=2013.1.2-6823789855.1.daa96f
There are some Pokers if you search it here: http://www.taobao.com/index_global.php?spm=a230r.1.2.1.3e371b
They seem about the same price as this GB. When I can read Chinese maybe Ill buy a bunch and start a GB :)

THAT should go on a wiki somewhere! Thank you very much. I guessed "茶 (tea) ~ brown" and "轴 (axis) ~ switch" correctly, but I thought "青 (green)" actually meant Green.
However, Google (when asked) allows that it might mean "blue" or "blueness":Quoteadjective

Did tinlong get my updated info? Since I can't complete the order through Deskthority he told me to send in my info here too... just wondering if he took care of that whole thing or not...hi CLiB,
the boards are producing now, I'll post in the threads if there is any updates :)I'll throw my hat in for a black.Sorry, but your order was past the deadline. We can keep you in consideration in case someone who placed an order for Blacks doesn't follow through?
I just PM'd tinlong to check on how things are going. One of us will keep you posted.

I'm pretty new here at GH, but from what I've seen there are always more keyboard nerds always trying to get something cool, especially if its at all limited / hard to find. I know sometimes making money off of these group buys is looked down on, but I guarantee latecomers like me would be stoked to be able to pay $10-$20 more if we could still get in on it.
vv - MissMurder, thanks! I doubt I would be that lucky though.

That's probably what I would do I am in no rush. Standard has no tracking right?
Hey guys, any ideas what the default shipping carrier is? also, anybody has experience with EMS? seems it costs more - is it worth it?I'll use hk post service, so it's depends where you're, if you're loacte in germany, it will use dhl.. Just like that. US might be usps
Cheers,
is EMS considered a more reliable shipping carrier?

Yes, and faster. You can also track the number with USPS once it registers in the system.

I wonder how long it will take without EMS.yes, signature is needed
Does it need a signature? Don't want it be sent back all the way to HK

PS: guess whose mug is this!
Just wondering... how long does it usually take for something to make it through customs? My tracking info says my Poker has been pending customs inspection since the 13th...
Is a signature still required if I didn't pay for EMS?

Are there any plans to have another buy for Pokers? Also, what are the odds that I will be able to get one with mxBrowns? They are sold out everywhere else(that I can find) on the internet.
