Yes. Not a bad price considering that Unicomp charges $30 for a set of caps. I wish these things had LEDs.

I'd buy it for the key caps, but I don't really like the labeling on some of the keys like "line draw" under backspace. Might be good for the alphas though.

Post by: aref on Tue, 11 February 2014, 16:03:24: I agree. It's worth the price for the key caps alone.

Post by: fohat.digs on Tue, 11 February 2014, 20:11:40: Teensys are like $20 and shipping is lightning fast if you are in the US.

How much more time and money can you expect to save?

Payment deadline is February 21st, and I'm keeping the order form open until everyone has paid, or that date.

Time is never saved with a group buy, it's true. But I'm saving people over $2 per unit. If I can get some people in to buy Teensy++ 2.0 for the Kishsaver controllers before the payment deadline, I might be able to save people a dollar or more on those, too. Those are a little pricier at $24.
