Title: Cyan mod pack
Post by: soilheart on Tue, 19 April 2016, 06:02:43

Our up and rising eBay seller shopon854 has started selling a partial Cyan mod pack: http://m.ebay.com/itm/222090922688?_mwBanner=1 (http://m.ebay.com/itm/222090922688?_mwBanner=1). I would have gotten a pack myself if I hadn't planned to get the cyan modpack from mechsupply =)

(If anyone gets the pack from eBay and don't want the homing keys/fn/ISO enter/blanks feel free to PM me and I'll take them from your hands for a fair price)

Isn't odd for a mod pack not to include a Tab key or a ISO left shift, since other ISO keys are included?

Yeah,  agree... the missing shifts and tab is two of the main reasons why I won't pick up this over the mechsupply kit...

All I wanted form the set was a tab key D+

I took liberty to ask the dealer about those missing keys and I got a reply.

I believe it's safe to disclose it to the community, so here it is:

Hello,

Thank you for your request.
I have only the keycaps shown on the picture. That are only the leftover keycaps from older GMK buys..
So the TAB and the ISO shift are NOT included in this offer.

Best regards

Interesting. This more or less confirms my theory that these auctions are the GMK equivalent of grab bags...

Looks like all the Cyan sets were sold.
A new set might show up for sale soon.

Yeh. I may have bought one after all... (it did contain all the keys I needed for my planned CP SQ color-scheme after all).

Let's hope the next one is a smaller but more interesting pack, such as an esc pack =)
