Oh, and what kind of plastic did you use sixty?
I'd like to order some Red GeekHack caps with "black" lettering :-))
9 PM EST
Please note that the maximum order is limited to a total of 6 keys per forum member to keep things balanced. Let's try to make everyone happy and get a set to everyone interested.
3 am my and your time? Hate you. Keep in mind I know where you live before telling me I was too late tomorrow. ;P
Following that Korean Leopold link I'm getting $67 a full 104 key doubleshot set for the Korean lettered ones. That's not too bad. Well, all things considered. After all, a Topre keyset for only 60 keys goes for $68, one dollar more.
Still not sure why Google does this translation:

Iowa enthusiasts also released a double injection in a rare show of kikaepeun Hangul
Indeed, what about us, european guys who need to sleep at night ;)

And because I feel cynical tonight (you can blame paypal) the 'G' and the 'H' don't line up...almost like the 'A' is taking up too much space.
But yeah, I still want some :D
I'll order up 3 sets. Sick, infirmed, and financially paypal-less can go to bed and PM me later.
So kerning is how they adjusted the spacing between "m" and "y"?
Just asking.
I like the key the way it is. Revision One will be the collectible version.
That key is awesome. You are right. Kerning is how the space between two characters is adjusted to achieve more uniform spacing. E.g., WA will look horribly separated if no kerning is applied. AC is a somewhat less important pair and often unavailable in a font. Auto-kerning works most of the time but not quite perfectly.
I'll try to get a set, too. I hope Sixty doesn't get mad at me for complaining about kerning :)
sixty, will you fix the kerning in the next run?

Human emotions. Quite illogical...
I know, I know. But considering that most of the members on the forum are from the state I had to be fair and base it a bit around their schedule. I highly doubt that all sets will instantly sell anyway. You should hopefully all be fine.
Unless i counted wrong 100 keys went to 29 people. That's not very fair. Only way i could be in time was to wake up at 4 am. Didn't make it.
I disagree. It is quite an investment to have a custom cap made. What you say he should have taken an even bigger financial risk by limiting sales to one set each. I don't see it, and think you should be pleased with the three set limit and the fact a geekhack member took that risk. Considering the success, I wouldn't be surprised to see a second run.
I bought three. One for a sick dude. One for an Paypal refugee. You don't get the last one.
Members who bought more than one set should be willing to consider reselling (at the rate they paid, perhaps plus the "next-hop" shipping) to deserving veteran members if any have missed out and a second batch will not happen.
Just to be clear, any implication that I'm somehow not grateful would be the result of a misinterpretation...I am indeed grateful for the efforts that went into this and still are in arranging the shipping and so forth.
Perhaps a better way for me to voice what I'm trying to say is this:

Like I said I think it'd be awesome to see a second batch happen, but if ultimately this is the last of this particular variety of key(cap) which is made...
It was just a test. If you can't type in "I want one", set your alarm, go to bed, wake up, click on "Post Quick Reply" and go to sleep again to have sweet dreams about your new geekhack cap, you failed to proof how much you want it.
For the next test, I propose starting at 11 AM Central European Time, which will be very convenient for Europe and 2 to 5 am for the Americans: :sleep:Americans will stand outside a Best Buy at 3am, the day after thanksgiving to get $50 off a $2000 tv they can't afford. I don't think it will be a problem.
So, let's see a "show of hands". Who wanted to purchase a set, but missed out?

Anyway, I'm glad for sixty they sold so quickly. And it is a nice test/show of demand for anyone else considering this stuff.
Exactly. You didn't really want it.
If a geekhack member sells their keycap on a keyboard they ought to be banned indefinitely...
IMHO, of course.

AWESOMENESS! Now I can say to my dad - LOOK FATHER! I am a True Geek.
Too bad I don't have any Cherry keyboards.
