For some reason during manufacturing, the keycaps often come out smelling like maple syrup.

If there are any questions, feel free to ask. This is my first GB so obviously I'll be missing something.
Orders and payments closed. Shipping begins soon.

Why on earth is shipping to Canada more expensive than to USA and to other countries around the world? Aren't you based in Canada?The cheapest option for air mail inside Canada comes with tracking, so that bumps up the price.

I wanna get the cotton candy one in Topre, but there doesn't seem to be an option for that on the google form. I'm guessing Miami actually = Cotton Candy? :)Yes and yes

Any reason a normal 3$ letter isn't available for worldwide. I sent some keycaps for 3$ from Norway to US.
I don't send them as letter, because the packets end up barely too thick for the mail slots, and that obviously raises the shipping costs. If I do another groupbuy I'll definitely be looking for some proxies for Europe, Asia, and the US.

So the issue is that theyre to thick to send as letter? I am pretty sure the worldwide standard thickness for thin letters are 2 centimeters and 7 centimeters for thick letters.
If you just put a couple in an envelope and send, it will be lower than the price you have now.
I suggest you check up with your post office, i think the shipping price is keeping many from buying.

There's a few other issues, but mainly the MEGATRQNs and bubble mailers bulge up too much. As well, I first tried sending some orders in regular mail and 3/4 were lost/broken, so I'm trying to mitigate some risk... Next time I do something like this I'll be having a few people help out by being proxies, lowering shipping a ton.

I will give a few days for late orders and those who haven't paid, but after the 20th I'm moving to production, and those who have not paid will not receive any caps.

Hello there. Which profile would go best on a Leopold FC660C? I honestly don't know what key profile that board uses.The closest match would definitely be OEM profile, but I don't guarantee it's a perfect match.

Awesome, thank you. I was thinking about the Candy Cane replacing the insert key on the gray dye-sub keyboard.

In production right now. All of the caps have been printed, and I'll be finishing them on the weekend when I go in to work. I'll try to have them all sorted by Monday, and get them shipped as soon as I can after that.

Everything has smoothed out recently so I have all the international and CONUS orders shipped (Except for a couple corrections). My switch sticker GB will likely go a lot faster than this.

You can try treating them with a aceton vapor bath (do a lot of research with that), alcohol, and sanding. Clear coats and enamels work fairly well

I got my caps a few weeks ago and have been playing with them since. I actually like the rough textured feel to them. The DSA cap was a bit snug though, I had to file out the hole a bit so it would fit on the switch, other than that I really like them.
I'll make sure to reduce shrinkage issues in the future. Some alcohol must have gotten on the stem (which causes it to slightly expand)
