Title: Tai Hao 6.25x Space Bar GB [SHIPPED]
Post by: elton5354 on Fri, 30 August 2013, 11:36:42
This group buy is for the 6.25x OEM space bar from Tai Hao.  Tai Hao is now willing to make tooling for this size space bar. 

MOQ is 400 per colour - black, yellow, green, red, and blue.

There is no more MOQ for this as long as we maintain this number.

Price:
price includes the tooling fees

You can refer to here for the original GB (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=43745.0)

Orders are closed.

Order Confirmation (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0Akw9rY8oi1o6dENheGdHQzNWaHBkMUpHUjZfVEozb0E&single=true&gid=0&output=html)


Shipping will be separate from the original GB as this will take much longer to finish.

Timeline:
- 1 month to finish the tooling

- 1 week to ship to me

Shipping will be with bubble mailers.

For larger quantities (less than 250g and around 30 space bars)

I have some bad conscience towards keypop.net who first helped make this GB happen and now probably already invested in a solution for us.

However, exact colors and profile are just too tempting.  Hope keypop.net find a way to cancel/absorb their investment.

Elton any chance for off center stemmed caplsock dude? don't have to be stepped........ ask them dude, this will make the set go way further!!!!! and you can pair the capslock keys  with the space bars!!! like ordering black space bar will come with black off center capslock, possible? if its hard for them to make it with legends they can make it without legends.... cost should not be that much me thinks. anyways we have some keys for R4 that are blanks like the x1, this wont be too different, will look unique even if its blank, but at least will match the color and the height and people can use this set for traditional keyboards and Korean or Cherry boards.

Worst come to worse if they cant make molding for off center full touch capslock, maeby we can order the regular ones and do the stem mod ourself, but at least we have 2 Capslock keys, one off center and one centered.... I'm in for 2 of these just to make this GB happen.

BTW Elton, your the best!

thanks Elton, if its cheap enough I know people will get it just for the sake of later down the road getting Cherry or Korean board. I know it wont cost much if its blank/full touch

KeyPop were going to make polycarb space bars iirc, which will look great! Hopefully their colours will match.

For $2 each I will be in for Tai Hao space bars and almost certainly KeyPop ones too! Can't have enough space bars, right? Spares for after the shining ;)

Ordered 2 for each of my colors (black, green, blue).  Thanks for following up and through with this elton.

I'm really not that miffed about this, because while it would have been nice to get them with the rest of the caps, they're still soooo cheap that it's like complaining about the quality of the pickles on a Krystal (or White Castle).  I mean, even for a 37 key set, it would have been a good deal.  And now I can get extra spacebars, so there's that.

Will get keypop spacebars as well if they still offer them.  You can never have too many spacebars.

I take the tooling is yet to be made. They might as well consider making the spacebars "universal" (100mm and 80mm stab-compatible).

I ordered 9 spacebars - one for each for my sets.

If it doesn't affect shipping prices, I'd double that order.

Elton, could you please check the shipping prices based on the 7x spacebar you already have? Would be awesome to know how much fit into in one envelope :)

Yeah I'll see how much each weighs approx.

If it doesn't fit the envelope, I'll just use a box since it's by weight, it doesn't matter if I use either one.

I take the tooling is yet to be made. They might as well consider making the spacebars "universal" (100mm and 80mm stab-compatible).

Can you give me the specific dimensions?

Here's a photo of the universal space bar (note the orientation):

http://elitekeyboards.com/proddata/images/th/sbu2_under1000_th0x0.jpg

There are 6 stems:
- in the center (for all MX keyboards except Cherry G80-3000)
- 11.9 mm (5/8 units) to the right of the center (for Cherry G80-3000 and Cherry-made Das keyboard 2) It's on the left on that photo because of its orientation.
- 50 mm (2 5/8 units) to the right and to the left of the center  (most MX keyboards)
- 40 mm to the right and to the left of the center (some Leopolds, Steelseries, Zowie Celeritas)

Maybe I should close the order for now until I finalize the group buy.  If the caps lock does go through, there will be extra cost for it and i don't want it to be the same as the original group buy where I added a dollar to the set half way through.

It is by no means your fault. Tai Hao has been known for quite some time to not produce 6.25x spacebars. This is very unexpected and nobody would have been able to predict this.

Elton its fine brother nobody knew about this, we only knew that they could of made x7 space bars, then it turned out that they can make the 1.5 and x1 R4 modifiers.... Lets make it this time final and get the space bar in 6.25 and the off center caps lock, this 2 addition will make this set fully complete excluding the ISO layout.

However there is a silver lining. All future Tai Hao buys now have the possibility of 6.25x spacebars and, if elton can pressure enough, the off-center stemmed caps lock.

UPDATE:

I will have to provide Tai Hao with an universal space bar for a sample.  I'd prefer the same profile as Tai Hao's, however I don't have one.  Can anyone sell me one?

Tai Hao is increasing the price for red/blue/yellow/green space bars to $2.50 USD.  Black will remain $2.00.  Their reason behind this is the paint materials is going to be wasted during the injection process, so they will have to factor the cost for the loss.

I am currently discussing the off centered caps lock with them. 

Good thing I removed the form before any more orders were submitted..

That's the exact same one I was referring to, but I don't really want to spend $11 shipped for it.

Well, if I happen to not get a hand on that specific one, I can always just send them one of my SP space bars for stem reference for Tai Hao.

Hey Elton,

Will you also offer a white space bar? I'm not really interested in one myself but I do remember a whole bunch of people asking in the main GB.

Will you also be organizing a local pickup for this GB?

imho $2.50 at 400 MOQ each is pretty overpriced...
Edit: We'll be purchasing some spacebars but not as much as originally planned.
We will be delaying the polycarbonate spacebar and waiting to see how this will turn out.
Our funds are currently tied up in 6 projects so we need to be careful for now.

Yeah, but that includes the tooling/molding for the space bar they don't have.

I don't think they have white.  Even if they do, we already have a handful to reach MOQ for these 5 available colours.

I agree about it being overpriced (WASD sells single space bars ā la carte in a bunch of different colors for $1.50), and the tooling and color changes are a lame excuse as I'm sure we're not the only customers and they could have totally avoided it earlier by doing it within the original GB production. The 6.25u is the prevalent space bar size in the western world, and the tooling is an inevitable investment for them, so to handle this like some kind of custom mold order is a bit sneaky.

Elton, on the other side, is handling this in an awesome way, I have huge respect for his spontaneous decision to make a second group buy for this after the gigantic first one. So I guess I'll be in for one of each color, while at the same time I'll wait for what keypop comes up with.

Can you give an idea as to how many black space bars you may be purchasing?  I am going to purchase a full Tai Hao set from you and so it makes sense for me to order the space bar from you as well.

If funds are an issue maybe put up a pre-order option on your website?

We don't mean to deter this groupbuy in any way and will try our best to help make it happen. We can't be exact as to how many we will be purchasing but it will definitely be enough to cover the amount of sets we've ordered. We just simply wanted to express our opinion on the pricing.

We should be releasing a group buy for polycarbonate spacebars sometime next week for those who are interested.

About the off-centered stepped caps lock, it seems like Tai Hao already have the mold for it.  Not sure if it fits the keyboards we have.

For the right off-centered stem caps lock, the stem should be 10mm from the left of the key cap.

It doesn't really look like that at all.

It seems like it won't fit.  Tai Hao's caps lock is 12~13mm from the left.

This one is from Tai Hao.

We will be delaying the polycarbonate spacebar and waiting to see how this will turn out.

I agree about it being overpriced (WASD sells single space bars ā la carte in a bunch of different colors for $1.50), and the tooling and color changes are a lame excuse as I'm sure we're not the only customers and they could have totally avoided it earlier by doing it within the original GB production. The 6.25u is the prevalent space bar size in the western world, and the tooling is an inevitable investment for them, so to handle this like some kind of custom mold order is a bit sneaky.

Elton, on the other side, is handling this in an awesome way, I have huge respect for his spontaneous decision to make a second group buy for this after the gigantic first one. So I guess I'll be in for one of each color, while at the same time I'll wait for what keypop comes up with.
 

We take the tooling from Tai Hao when all of this is over. We paid for it so everyone gets a piece of it... like a souvenir or something :P

And kudos to Elton for bringing forth to Tai Hao the idea of the universal spacebar. We're potentially gonna be paying extra for the tooling, so we might as well give them extra work. :D

The picture with the ruler is my picture I took with SP caps lock.

It seems like it won't fit.  Tai Hao's caps lock is 12~13mm from the left.

This one is from Tai Hao.

I don't need it, but it technically belongs to the 7x spacebar and the 1.5 modifiers so it would complete the set I guess.

Wouldn't mind paying extra for it, but the spacebars have priority for me.

Post by: elton5354 on Wed, 04 September 2013, 11:45:03
Yeah, but with most people only looking for the space bar, the additional cost may deter them from joining.

I've talked with TH about adding the caps lock with the space bar as a set. It'll be $4 for a space bar and a caps lock at 400 MOQ.  I've added it as a set because there is no way caps lock will meet MOQ at any colours.

Well here's a direct quote.

Quote
I have discussed with my engineer.
We can remove the stem of our current caps lock key to be 10mm from the left.
Such kind of tooling fee is cheaper. The letter and shape is the same following ours..
Just wonder if this is OK to you?
 
Please find the following offer.
 
1x6.25 spacebar + 1x1.75 caps lock: USD4.00 / per set / Ex work (Taiwan)
MOQ: Total 2000pcs
Color Option: Black/Red/Blue/Yellow/Green
MOQ per color: 400~500pcs
Tooling Time: 45 days
Lead time: 1 month after finishing the tooling

It's kind of expensive..
Title: Re: Tai Hao 6.25x Space Bar GB
Post by: LechnerDE on Wed, 04 September 2013, 12:11:26
Yeah, I think we should just stick to the spacebars. I mean 4$ is not expensive in itself, but it is kinda expensive if you consider the costs of the whole set.

I mean we started at 5$ or something and now we are at 9$ + spacebar. I think the price is the main appeal of the set, so we should just add the spacebar and that's it.

^this.

Elton, can you estimate how many space bars you can ship in an $8 international letter? I wonder if it's worth to look into combined shipping with some fellow Europeans.
Title: Re: Tai Hao 6.25x Space Bar GB
Post by: elton5354 on Wed, 04 September 2013, 13:02:42
The space bar is about 6g, and max weight for that price is 250g.

30 or so space bars (in a box).

USA is around the same price for that amount of space bars. The price in OP is only for letter size (less than 20mm in thickness).  For that price in OP, it'll only fit a few space bars if your order is small.  If US order is more than that, it'll be a parcel instead and will cost around $8 as well.

Title: Re: Tai Hao 6.25x Space Bar GB
Post by: KeyPop on Wed, 04 September 2013, 13:59:38
Including the capslock increases the minimum money required from $5,000(spacebars only at $2.50 ea) to $8,000(spacebars and capslocks @ $4).
It will be quite difficult to find enough users willing to purchase 2,000 center-stemmed capslock.
Although there is a demand for center-stemmed capslock, I do not personally believe the demand is enough to cover 2,000.
Title: Re: Tai Hao 6.25x Space Bar GB
Post by: elton5354 on Wed, 04 September 2013, 14:19:09
Yeah, for that reason, I don't think I will go on with the caps lock.  Maybe in the future group buys with TH, the caps lock can be added to the set, but for now, I'll only focus on the 6.25x space bar..

Anyway, I'll resume order and hopefully we'll reach MOQ quickly.

Maeby next GB with different colors we can have the """""6.25 space bar and proper off center stemmed stepped capslock included in the sets?"""""

Hoping for different colors in next GB's purple,pink,orange,coffee,cream.... whatever!!! awesome price for full sets.

That would be it. The closest stems from the outer sides are what would make them fit a Leopold. Knowing that this will be fitting the Leopold boards I might have to grab some more for a friend.

That would be awesome! I just got a Leopold FC700R and I love it, but the fact that it's incompatible to standard sets because of the spacebar is slightly annoying.

Will that universal spacebar be compatible with the FC700R? The universal ones from SP are only compatible with the old FC200R...

It's going to be the same one as EK as well. Not sure. I don't own any Leopolds. On EK site it only says FC200R as well.

Then it won't fit on the FC700R :(

I think it would be a good thing to produce something that fits the FC700R and the 660M since those are the current products from Leopold. I don't no anyone who owns a FC200R but many who have a FC700R. I am not even sure whether you can still buy a FC200R...

But since it's already decided I guess it's not worthwhile to discuss it any further.

Maybe next time ;)

Unfortunately Leopold changed the stem location AGAIN for FC700R, so it will not be compatible.  There isn't any custom spacebar at the moment that fits FC700R.  However the universal one will work with FC200R.  (Older Leopold models)

I don't know why they determine to make their spacebar non compatible.  It only hurts their business.

Could you measure the location of the stems on the FC700R and add them to the wiki page http://deskthority.net/wiki/Space_bar please? It seems to be missing there, while otherwise this seems like the most comprehensive collection on the web. If possible, also take a photo of the bottom side.

You can try posting over at /r/mechanicalkeyboards about this. I posted over there for the full 104 buy and I think a number of them placed orders (don't forget the community is pretty large at 15000 subs). Just a heads up to not leave them out. If you want me to do the post, let me know.

Unless they produce something different, I don't think there will be a repeat GB for a long time.

Apart from the multiple sets that various individuals have bought (including me), a vendor or two have bought lots too, so these will be available from various GH sources for a while.

Elton can later down the road ask about possibility for different color sets besides this GB + the off center stemmed capslock stepped capslock can be added along with the 6.25 uni space bar. There can be other colors such as: orange, purple,brown, grey etc etc etc....

Some people might not like this but I'm just going to copy/paste what I wrote Elton. I just never understood people that are aware of GB that's going on and then when the GB is closed they come in a week later complaining that they thought that they had more time to play around, or they forgot, or they got too busy ( sure not having 5 minutes to open GH, click on the forum form and fill it up?)

Full sets are in production, numbers we reached with full sets were crazy, the only reason we never reached those numbers faster is because people were insecure because there was no 6.25 space bar in it. WTF is going on now?!?!?! We don't have just 6.25 space bar, we have a universal one that will fit any board that uses 6.25 including the wako Leopold one.... This is pure laziness guys, so this is what I suggested to Elton, its up to him what he wants to do.

GB MOQ

You already sent all those emails letting peeps know that there is a GB for uni spacebars, what I noticed that people like to do is come week or 2 after the GB is closed and complain that they thought that the GB was gonna be open for around a month.....

Do not forget, tooling takes a month, then another month for production, then mailing to you maeby 10 days until u receive them, then you mail them and that takes time too maeby for some peeps up to 2 weeks until they receive them....... that's 3 months after closing the GB, my opinion is ask Taio Hao so we can have a soon closing date and do not depend on those peeps that they like to drag their asses and come at the last minute thinking that the GB will be still waiting on them.

Let's hope so :)

They might not be another SP (who go out of their way to cater for GH's small and random orders), but if they will at least drop MOQ or consider different colours or new keycaps, at this price I suspect there might be a GB every year or so, so that all the new members can grab a couple of sets of cheap DS sets.

I've added the shipping cost to the spreadsheet, but I'm not 100% sure how many space bars is the limit to ship with the cheapest option.  It probably has to be flat with a single file of space bars.  As for Canadian shipping, it was estimated to be more than US/International shipping with the same specs for some reason (US/Int: $8.50 inc. materials, Cdn: $10.XX for shipping alone).  So I'll have to stop by the post office to double check the shipping cost in person.

Regarding Shipping:

I hope it's possible to ship the spacebars along with our original Tai Hao order. Or do you want to separate those two GBs?

I'd prefer one shipment for everything I ordered from you. I know I'll have to wait longer to get both, but I wouldn't use the sets without the spacebars anyway ;)

Some may and most won't because I've already bought the boxes for the key cap sets and I bought each size to fit the max sets (3,6,11).  They're almost over weight by a hair on orders for the max number of sets in each box.

You can talk with the other Singaporean members to see if they want to pull theirs together up to 30ish space bars for $8.50.

Also, just an aside, you might want to update the OP with the info about the MOQ no longer being enforced.  I was getting ready to navigate away from the thread and give up on the idea after seeing how low the counts were -- it was complete luck that I first went to the last page and saw the news.

Either way, thanks for the follow-up GB, and looking forward to having the complete sets.

How many mounts do these have? Are they equivalent to 6.25 universal spacebars?

Yes, they made them so they will fit Filco, Cherry, and Leopold. :thumb:

I've sent them a space bar from EK for TH to replicate the mounts, so 6 stems.

So are they creating a mold, or whatever, in response to your request for a 6.25x space bar?

You must have been very persuasive ;)

With their MOQ I imagine a container full of keycaps would be the norm.

Hey Photo, a little off topic, but this is the first time I see your pic with all-white Shine caps and was wondering if you were able to find a new set sometime in the past few months?  Or is that just an old set?

I've been periodically checking in on MK.com but doesn't seem like they ever restocked them like ShakeR said they would.

It's from one of the limited edition full-sized Shine IIs that has a black case and white caps.  I don't believe white Shine caps have been on sale in the U.S. yet--only through eBay and trades (and qtan).

Yeah, might be just the prototype. They never told me they would make white.

The edge looks a bit jagged?

Specifically the top edge in the potato, about 1/3 the way in from the right?

Or looks dirty. The EK space bar looks bent.

Last chance to update addresses if needed otherwise I'm not responsible for lost/returned mails..

I'm going to write the addresses down instead of printing off PayPal, so I'm only using the addresses you've filled in the beginning.

Got my spacebards today. No sets yet.
Was a bit disappointed with how flimsy they feel compared to my old pbt spacebar. But my old pbt bar had extra inner walls for stability.
I do like the texture on top it. More traction haha
