We should set up a wiki page to keep pictures of all the round 3 keys so we can reference them in future rounds.  I will start it when I have time with a desktop computer unless someone get to it first.

You're welcome.  Now go post some pics to validate your claim.  

I got several delivery confirmation emails today...there will likely be a steady stream of them for a while (no delivery confirmation for the international shipments though).

I concur! Pics or it didn't happen!

Pic is in the pics thread.

[DaemonRaccoon]

I too have received mine, a picture is in the pictures thread. Also: I HATE FILCO STABILIZERS.

[steeef]

Here's my standard set:
http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?18818-Geekhack-Group-Key-Buy-3-from-Signature-Plastics-Post-Your-Pics!&p=365521&viewfull=1#post365521

I don't currently have a keyboard for the custom sets (onehalfmod, colemakbackspace), but I could just lay the keys out if you want.

[Lpb45]

Please send mine out Imav, mines a really simple order!!

[litster]

OK, I don't think I did a very good job because I am not very familar to the wiki tags.  I did get the full list of orderable sets and put it here:

http://geekhack.org/showwiki.php?title=GeekHack+Round+3+Double-shot+Replacement+Group+Buy+Keycap+Picture+Reference&redirect=no

If you have received your keycaps, please take pictures and put them under the correct heading.  It would be great if you have clear, close up of the keycaps as well as with the keycaps on your keyboard.  I understand there is already a thread on the round 3 pictures.  But it would be good to have all the pictures in one place that you can scroll and see them all without the thread conversations.  Thanks.

So.. maybe these legends instead of the centered ones? Just to give out some idea.. (picture source: OTD.kr)

[Brodie337]

As awesome as that looks, I dont think I want white keys on a black Filco. Maybe to a red on black set too?`

That's perfect! Thank you for doing this. Finally we all will know, what this Round 3 was all about!

I have added a few pictures to the wiki page as I see people post more pictures on the picture thread.  But not all of them a sized small enough because the wiki page doesn't auto resize oversized pictures.  I try to link pictures back to the original post in the picture thread to give credit to the photographer, except ripster, since he is already watermarking all his pics.  And his pics are always sharp and bright, you can tell they are from him without seeing the watermark :-)

[pederlol]

So can anybody say something about when next group-buy is coming up?

[7bit]

It will officially start on Friday, 1st July 2011.

Expect the key caps to ship by end of January 2012.

[pederlol]

Oh thanks!

And round three is closed, right? :/ 2012 seems far far away...

[keyboardlover]

I want AWESOMEPANDA in round 4!

[daerid]

Dang, these rounds take a long time

[7bit]

First round took 5 weeks.

The key word there was FOCUS.

We can do it quicker if everybody agrees upon what to order  within a short time and no more and more extras are added.

[Tempy]

I got an idea.

Make a Cherry Corp clone doubleshots set in White (and pick a color for lettering) (as best Signature can do it) and call it a day.

+1 for this layout and idea

[iMav]

+1 for this layout and idea

That would look nice on a white PLU87.

[pederlol]

Definetely a good idea. Just remember to include different country layouts

[pederlol]

From my POV US is international...

ÆØÅÆØÅÆØÆØÆÅÆØÆÅÆÅÆ =)

[7bit]

International?

Well, that just went that focus part.

 
Add-ons for different keyboards and layouts are always necessary, but maybe I give up my previous plan to offer lots of color combinations.

The Moogle kit keys came out quite well, except that they not accurately match the Cherry colors. But if we go for a different color, that will not be too much of a problem. If SP hasn't got the arrows or ther symbols we need, some few SVG graphpics for that purpose won't kill us.

[7bit]

ÆØÅÆØÅÆØÆØÆÅÆØÆÅÆÅÆ =)

 
Right, so no need for foreign layouts!

[litster]

International?

Well, that just went that focus part.

 
I want a Chinese kit with Chinese glyphs on keycaps!  (just kidding!)

[pederlol]

Exactly! =)

Dont give too many options, do some polls to set everything up ahead of time.  Make the polls simple only a couple choices per so they dont get watered down with stuff that we all know isnt going to win.  Include extra but just dont go hog wild like last time at the last second, I think at one point you were ready to order but then you started having everyone submit the SVG's and it was just like 2 months straight of a new key being added every day with the SVG's which honestly is really cool to have unique keys but we should have all that on lockdown this time and should run nice and smooth(maybe even open a thread for new SVG's so you have everything ready ahead of time).  Even Imav has the sorting down pat now(God bless him).

Eithor way(long group buy or short) I am with you on this buy and will be buying a good amount of keys, kind of mad at myself for not getting a couple things with the last order (Moogle kit, Orange gamer kit)

I like the cherry doubleshot clone set with red legends the best, but thats just like my opinion.

 Good point!

I really gave in too many times, so we shuld pull the trigger earlier this time.

If you want red on white, why don't you get the OTD red alert kit (170 keys @ $68 + shipping from Europe) offered at deskthority.org?

[jil_jil32]

7bit, has my Round 3 #183 order been shipped to the moon yet?

Did you pay the shipping costs?

Oh yeah I did! :sad:

I posted in the thread on DT but never heard anything after that, guess I should go check the thread.

It's happening, check again

[Lpb45]

Yea,  I just went on and secured my set hopefully

Me too! Could not figure out what the 18 experimental keys will be.

Oh yeah I did! :sad:

 
You still have to pay $49,998 !

[Bucky]

I think the idea of less is more is probably a good approach, simple is good.

Pretty excited for Round 4 to get rolling.

[Ekaros]

International?

Well, that just went that focus part.

US is so over done, not needed  anymore, ISO it is then

We should realy focus, and not get more ANSI sets...

[manfaux]

@iMav how many orders have you shipped so far? getting close to #100 yet?

[daerid]

Damn... and I'm #278. Ugh... looks like it's going to be a while.

[iMav]

@iMav how many orders have you shipped so far? getting close to #100 yet?

By tomorrow, all orders that have been cleared by 7bit AND don't contain blank key sets, POS sets, numeric sets, and/or destined for Canada will have been sent.  The remaining sets will be collated this weekend and then I will start sending those orders out.

Damn... and I'm #278. Ugh... looks like it's going to be a while.

Not so long for you.  

[soulfree914]

Me too! Could not figure out what the 18 experimental keys will be.

12 keys in R1 (number row, not the function row) & the Enter key will be WHITE on RED like the scheme above..
Plus some additional keys...

[Exoverture]

...and/or destined for Canada...

So Canada orders will be shipping sometime next week or?

[alaricljs]

So Canada orders will be shipping sometime next week or?

When USPS allows Canadian addresses to be on labels printed via their website.

[reaper]

Can we do something like this for round 4 or has it already been done (pic coutesy of bakageta's Counter-Strike keys):
