I don't like light keycaps, yet I'm definitely getting at least one set, can't resist the hype

The variety is also incredible, it's hard to find keycaps for the infinity keyboard's layout and possible alternative placements, yet all my ideas are possible with Granite's

Off topic, the only difference between the SP ABS and PBT's seem to be their side-shine, the abs ones shine more, the pbt ones look better, but the keypress/texture is indistinguishable for me, so I might even skip the Granite's and use the existing DSA sets I have, yet I am obviously not gonna do that

I concur they, the ABS and PBT, DSA sets feel different; originally, I prefer the first, but I forced myself to use my Granites - I have actually two of them - for more than two weeks, and now I am happily typing on it with no issues whatsoever, even enjoying its roughness.

drool... this is one sexy set of keycaps... just sad that I don't have an additional 100+ $ to spend on keycaps these days - hope another GB/Massdrop or the like will happen again in the future

If I wouldnt have picked up a Deep Space set that ended up costing me more than I expected, I would be all over this. But damn, like $130 for a full ISO set, that is harsh even if its PBT

Off topic, how's the contrast of the deep space set, is it as bad as the pictures show them to be?
I also picked up a deep space set, it's probably going to clear customs next week, really excited to see the colors irl

I got them second-hand unused, <2 weeks before the full release, it was a small shock

it seems they are not going to add http://www.pimpmykeyboard.com/deals/granite-bonus-pack/ - although the creator of the set was supportive of the addition
I assume they would add it already if they were going to

Delayed response, and OT, but I was a bit disappointed with the contrast of the blue on purple caps =/. The purple on grey caps are sexy as **** though.

I will hopefully receive mine this week, maybe even tomorrow, if there were no issues with customs

Good to hear about the alphas, I'm very curious

nope, double shot: http://keyshop.pimpmykeyboard.com/products/full-keysets/deep-space

I got mine second-hand/unused, 1-2 weeks later this popped up

Thanks! Link won't load on my moblile but I'll take your word on it.

Even if each buyer bought 6 sub-sets, that's 1000 purchased so far.

Surely there will be people wanting to sell secondhand after they decide that DSA is not for them.

I await the secondhand market.

I think we need a Granite Therapy thread. I think I have a problem. I'm back again to buy more Granite goodness and I'm not even sure what keyboard I'll be using them on.

I'm really kind of glad they didn't include the Cyrillic granite set this round; I would have had to buy it then, even though I currently have more MX keysets than MX boards.. I can't resist the look of Cyrillic or Hangul sets.

ideus · « **Reply #22 on:** Sat, 18 April 2015, 18:27:19 »

I may getting a few more keys, just in case; however, I already have more than enough.

6903 purchased

That number directly from SP would mean something more than a small discount that quickly disappears in EU shipping costs, let alone upmarked taxes because of upmarked declared price, and is proof that humanity likes to screw itself. Good thing Granite colour scheme doesn't lay with me at all.

Good thing for everyone else there will be a load of full sets for sale in a few months time when people don't actually use them at all

Can confirm

Bought a set on the off-chance that I decide to get a POK3R, otherwise will resell at cost at a later date.

Well, I wanted to replace the heavily-yellowed ABS keycaps on my right-handed Maltron, so I signed up for five complementary sets (sigh): Common (main keys), numpad, extra homing (so I can play with the layout), mono legend (ditto), and multimedia . Sadly, my Maltron takes 109 1x1 keycaps and 1 vertical 1x2, so some of these caps will go in a drawer for awhile.

Oh well, it's a nice, understated, professional-looking set that wouldn't look out of place at work. And if I give in to temptation at some future time and join an ErgoDox buy, I will have keycaps to try.

And the DSA profile should work -- that looks like what is already on there, except in ABS -- so I'm happy there.

I wish I could find a set of 1x1 low profile non-sculptured cylindrical PBT keycaps (what Signature Plastics calls LP Family 11, but for MX rather than ML switches. Though I might be reading their PDF file wrong, and they actually offer PBT for MX in low profile).
