Wow. GMK Dolch and Soware. Last time I checked they don't take paypal as a payment. It's gonna be hard for someone from outside of the states to make a purchase.

I don't understand....isn't visa/mastercard everywhere?  I have no problem from Canada

I actually prefer that to paypal.

I guess it's easier to file a Paypal dispute if goods aren't delivered? -shrugs-

I wanted to buy the orange on charcoal set but i'm not sure.

I've seen some sets that look really good on it and some that don't so I'm torn...

Bacon lol.
For the Dolch, Ivan would be running it as well. Just like to have a look at the price difference and Soware set. :D

i would say definitely tai hao, i think many people per-ordered those not sure if they were refunded or not

And at this point, you will probably be able to get them for the same price shipped off of Taobao.

Yeah the whole no paypal thing is rather odd.

Ordered two keycap sets on Sunday and no updates, still awaiting fulfillment.

It's because he's done enough semi shady and outright shady things with enough chargebacks that paypal has locked his stuff.

That RGBY mockup looks remarkably similar to feng's group buy (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=54442.0)

Yeah. Actually, if you wait for Feng to stock his ebay store, you'll get a couple of extra keys including a yellow menu for around the same price.

If I just want standard size RGB, it's cheaper for me to buy the keys from EK, right?

Anyone who has gotten an orange on charcoal set from him can advice on whether to get them?

thanks!!

What are your qualifiers?? Plenty of people bought them when they first came out and some more recent.

What exactly is it you want to know?

Also they show up in the classifieds every once in a while.

EK don't carry the windows or menu keys.

Also, I think the EK green and blue are a lighter shade. It looks like the GMK colour codes for the EK keys are AE/N5 whereas feng (and Sherry) used N7/V4.

I wonder if Feng will split them up like Sherry is doing. Looks like Sherry is also selling them for the GB price Feng had them at. Weren't they also $50?

I want that cyrillc set.

I still don't have my purple keys from him. :(

The other problem is the hhkb support. The 1.5 unit backspace key and the 1 unit backspace key look the same.

At least one should have been a backspace key and the other should have been a delete key. :/

Is there like a link to a thread with all the **** that Sherry has done etc anywhere? I feel like I only ever caught the end of that drama and never really knew why people hated him etc (when Originative first launched)

I am actually going to self-lock this topic. I thought about it a bit, and I don't want to give free advertising to Sheraton while you guys are waiting for orders. (And, I am debating whether to continue ordering from him on principle. So far I have continued to do so since he's fulfilled my orders, but it looks like his recent announcement that he would make things right with you guys is hollow. Not sure I want to support that, as cool as his products are.)

Someone else can create a different topic to continue the current discussion.
