Now.. if only I had a keyboard to put it on, or it fit the Granite set.

Best of luck with the GB!

Nice work! I especially like the language in the description for the flipped spacebars.

"For those looking to throw Reavers off yer trail by using your spacebar backwards, and still wanting the words to come out right, this set of two flipped front side printed spacebars who like to type comfortably and dangerously."

Actually its a little embarassing...the wording could be better, lol. I do have an English degree, but that should say "this set of two flipped side printed spacebars if for those who like to type comfortably and live dangerously."

Not worth the trouble of having to resubmit it to do it all over...chock it up to me being a GB newb, lol.

Based on your question, the group buy has been changed to inform the general public about the spacebar sizing. Thank you very much!  :thumb:

That's the beauty of this set. They are novelty keycaps, so you can either put them all on the number row, F row, or just one at time on the escape key. How novel!

I think a lot of people have issues with SP's checkout system and give up.

And maybe there aren't that many people interested in this.

You'll find lots of people are interested at the IC phase but balk when it comes to GB phase.

Sorry that your efforts came to nothing. I ordered a set without any real SP problems. Mainly it was for Jayne's hat which someone wanted from it. I was hoping a few more would be sold once the end of the month payday showed, but I guess not so. I doubt non-DCS would have sold many more though.

Good luck with future themes :)
