Double shot replacements ROUND THREE: Vote for Kits & Quantities!

[manfaux]

I need the SP color code for black Cherry keyboards. Sixty has no black on his color sample thing.

Is there anybody who could help with the color code?

does this have what you are looking for?

I'm ready to send the money to iMav by Paypal as a Gift but they tell me I have to pay 5$ as a tax even if it's a gift. Is it normal? I don't mind paying but want to know about it

EDIT: Ok. I read that if you use a Credit Card in the Paypal Account you have to pay this tax but no if you use your Bank Account.

[7bit]

@7bit, I don't know how many people are ordering the blanks from the SP inventory, if there aren't many people ordering it then, couldn't we just calculate the cost ourselves?

for example I could look at how many 1x keys I'm getting and just mutiply by $0.26, come up with a total and send payment, it's a simple, fixed cost so I don't think anyone could possibly mess it up. So you don't have to do write another script just for the blank keys.

grep ",\([[:digit:]]\+\)," | sort -uk1,1 -t','

leads to

42.tar.gz,211312,1
manfaux,210225,22

Maybe you are right and the script will be overkill. But maybe I will write it anyway ...

I sent a PM to 7bit_vote yesterday to place an order, so I hope it's not too late.  If I understand correctly, I should get a PM back at some point to reply with my email and shipping info?

Thanks for putting all of this together by the way also!

[JinDesu]

Hey 7bit, I want to ask if you can send me my payment. The email is jsoong86@gmail.com

I replied to the invoice with my address, but heard nothing since.

Did you specify your address, or is Tempy well enough known in New York that a specific address is not necessary?

In other words: reply to your invoice with your shipping-address and you will receive a new invoice with shipping costs and payment info.

I sent another pm, i never got a response to the first one, that is what i was referring to.

[Fwiffo]

Just sent an order - the post says March 7 for the deadline, so I assume I'm not too late?

[Ekaros]

Hmm, so is it better to pay now the final part or wait for final prices?

[speakeasy]

Is it alright that I sent my payment in two batches? I use disposable debit cards for online transactions like these so I wanted to clean up the remaining balance that I had on one.

[heedpantsnow]

So the clear caps are like Clackfactory's "ICE" (without the skull)?  They are literally made out of clear plastic?

Not too late, no.

I don't know what you've ordered but I guess we won't absolutely know final prices until all payments are in.

Send a PM like this to 7bit_vote:

EMAIL your email

...where you replace "your email" with the email address you'd like your invoice to be sent to. Don't put any other text in the PM as it could mean that your email address isn't properly registered.

Hmm, possible to have only alpha-num(the alphapeth and numbers, including special characters(for iso)) redblank kit? So, not the whole kit, but only part of it. Would cut the price by some?

[7bit_vote]

Plan to come forward:

I will order most of the kits right now. SP will not start production until they got our money.

If there are some latecomers who want to order kits, they still can jump on the train during the money collection phase.

We simply tell SP that we will order even more and they'll be pleased.

From Tuesday, 8 March 2011, 00:00 GMT on, there will be no opportunity anymore, to reduce your votes made before that deadline.

After that moment, you can only add more kits until the next deadline when we got the money together to make the payment, which should be in 2 weeks latest!

[Koeitje]

I'm the only one to have voted for AWESOMEORANGE  it seems. But $15 is too much, I only want it if we have enough people to make it $6 (thats 15 people I think). So, anyone with gamer kits that want a cooler esc key :0?

[Lpb45]

So I got a revised invoice last night but it registered the first payment I made but not the second payment I made a week ago.  Does it lag a little or something?

iMav runs this forum and has also some real work to do. I hope he does not regret he volunteered to help with the group buy.

I'm waiting for the update.

This may take a while ...

[====>................... 17% done .............................................]


BTW: No reason to jump off. Some of the kits in the list of kits which I will not order now, will make it into production. But I would like to wait until iMav received payments for them to order these.

[Ekaros]

Saddly had to jump ship with Redblans, I can do the price for clears, but for reds bit too much... Still intrest in fillers for gaming kit...

[Fwiffo]

A couple questions, forgive me if they've been asked before, but the thread is many pages.

1) If I want to add to my order, do I just send another PM with the addendum?
2) If I want a complete set of black blanks, do I just order 1 each of BLACKBLANK and BLACKBLANKMOD?
3) Do the BLANKMOD sets have domed windows keys, or flat style, or both?

[British]

The Frensh kit will make it,
but maybe you need a French layout
and help others to lower prices:
FR.......................5 (French Language kit) ($40/5 #29)

What's the magic number here to lower the price ?
I haven't voted for anything, thinking there wouldn't be enough french sets :/

[gilgam]

oh no

i have bought 4 to lower the prics but if you want to buy one or two ...

SP just have plain keys.

Thanks for your order and sorry for your Round 2.
It was not my intention to kill it.

Just order more keys.

At these low quantities any additional set would help.

To make that clear: I will order the FR kit, but I don't want to order it until all 5 had been paid for. So we will wait for those kits until somewhere next week whan we collected the money and do the payment to SP.

We can add keys to the order until they start production, but I don't want to reduce the quantity we ordered.

I'll probably take something like 3 sets.

Prior to that though, I'd like to know if you intend to make another round of double-shots, but with regular font placement/size (aka "no big-ass-centered font").

The font-placemet and size are regular!

Do you mean this totally outdated, 1985ish tiny-ass-off-center font?

[Tempy]

all right so i'm just going to redo my order and hope it goes through this time, because i still have not received any payment info, after having sent a pm to 7bit twice with my shipping address quoting the invoice he sent me

[Lpb45]

7bit,

no problem,  I appreciate all the work you guys have put into this and will be sending some extra money once all of the billing has been completed for you guys who orgnazied this.

I just wanted to make sure that my second payment was recognized because that was the one for my standard set which is the set I really want.  I will keep my eye out for an update.

Thanks!

Sorry, but you are not in the mailing list and I had forgotten to send out those manual invoices, which will take me 10 minutes, because of this stupid restriction ...

I will do this later in the evening.

Please send msgs to 7bit_vote with the following line:

EMAIL your email address

Thanks.

[Ekaros]

Hmm, sorry to bother again, but smaller blank kits doable? Might increase order amount for lower price, as there realy is only 3 or 4 different keys to produce?

[JinDesu]

Payment sent! Had to cover the fee myself as apparently paypal adds fees if it pays from amex

What do you think would be a good mini blank kit?

[kachaffeous]

I thought the font was a tad big myself.  Really don't care if it is centered or off centered but a smaller font would be nice.  I'm not blind.  Guess the larger font is easier to make?

[Ekaros]

What do you think would be a good mini blank kit?

One for function row and one alpha/num, meaning normal single sized keys. I thought ripster atleast was intrest in smaller clear kit, and I could live with cheaper and smaller red-blank set.

So:
XXXXBLANKFUNCTION 16 keys (profile function row)

XXXXBLANKALPHANUM :
13 num-row keys
11 qwert-row keys
11 asdf-row keys
11 zxcv-row keys

In total: 46, which is half of normal blank kit.
There is two overhead keys for ISO and lack of that beastly ansi key

Congratulations! You are the winner of the "who posts first on the 100th page?"-contest!

Sadly, there is no price to win. I'm so sorry!

Off topic: These are very long lasting keys.
These where made for the future!

When you can't read the keys on your genuine IBM/Cherry/Alps-board anymore, you will be thankful to have these replacements!

Like I posted earlier $32 was a bit spendy since I only want a few for lighted numlock and stuff like that.

I will look into this....

When you can't see the letters on your IBM or Alps keyboards, just hand these over to your grandchildren and take your Cherry-keyboard with those Round 3 keycaps.

PS: Maybe imsto's laser-engraved keys would alos be helpful, because you probably can feel the letters on them.

[heedpantsnow]

I will look into this....

Yeah, maybe more people will go with clear blanks and mods if there were a half order available...but then maybe you have to get twice as many people to bite to get the minimum...wow making my head spin!

[noodles256]

I would buy 3 if they came in singles. (depending on price ofc)

[Ekaros]

Anyway getting full 1-sized set of clears... Or should I bleed and do the special keys too...

[Ekaros]

Go for it!    I wanna see pics of a keyboard with a full set.

Won't be entirely full set as ISO-return is out of my league...

[Ekaros]

PS: Maybe imsto's laser-engraved keys would alos be helpful, because you probably can feel the letters on them.

So, should next replacement round be for Braille-keys? Real "touch"-typing...

[7bit]

Just had to make the 1500th post myself!

I will see what I can do about those clear keys. Full sets will be available for less than smaller versions.

Same for blanks. Seems some really want only a few blanks and the original idea to get these from the stuff SP has in stock seems only to work for 2 people.

[Ekaros]

Just had to make the 1500th post myself!

I knew I should have triple posted

[British]

"Regular", for me, is what I see on every single keyboard, even nowadays.

So, any plan for such a thing, or, as it has been put by Mr 100th-page: with smaller font ?

[Fwiffo]

Don't feel bad, it needed to be euthanized.
