All paid orders have shipped. Tracking numbers for CONUS orders are going out in PM now.

Unfortunately I've deleted my PM prematurely; I didn't save Geekhack handles listed against real identity. If you paid and you don't get a PM of tracking information within the hour, please send me your ZIP code and I'll get you a tracking number.

calavera · « **Reply #19 on:** Fri, 06 May 2011, 16:48:30 »

Got them today. I have to say this though, they're not as yellow as in the pics. It's closer to dark mustard. Anyways thanks

edit: Here's how they look guys.

I've moved the esc to my filco after this pic and love it. No pics of filco though.

reaper · « **Reply #20 on:** Fri, 06 May 2011, 18:48:42 »

He did a pretty good job of dyeing the color though. It came pretty close.

I also received my order today. Thanks ricercar! I'll leave you feedback in a minute and here's the pic comparing both yellows..

Hey ricecar whats up! Can you dye them in any color besides yellow?

RiGS · « **Reply #27 on:** Wed, 11 May 2011, 18:48:22 »

WOW. Those look great.

ricercar · « **Reply #28 on:** Wed, 11 May 2011, 19:36:57 »

I've had success with Yellow & Purple and lack of success with red. Reds come out more burgundy/dusty rose; I've never been able to get a bright stop-sign red.

I have a bottle of blue Rit to play with tonight. Photo shoot after.

YELLOW KEYS ROUND 2

Please help me by PM your orders with subject line
"YELLOW KEYS ROUND 2 "

Here's pricing based on sales from the last round; feel free to ask for exactly what you want.

$8 - yellow WASD cluster
$8 - yellow Arrow cluster

$12 - both of the above: yellow arrow cluster plus yellow WASD cluster
$12 - yellow FKeys 1-12 cluster plus yellow ESC
$12 - yellow number row includes 1234567890 plus three symbols `-=

$20 - two $12 yellow groups
$30 - three $12 yellow groups
$30 - yellow A-Z plus punctuation group
$45 - 100% complete yellow set: includes A-Z, 0-9, punctuation, fkeys, ESC, numpad, plus larger caps with MY stabilizers

First come first served.

BLUE
I'm disappointed in the blue key cap dyeing. The navy blue dye is FAR more finicky about time in the dye bath than the brighter yellow color. In this picture the darker F6 and F7 keys were dyed for ONLY TWO MINUTES more than the lighter F6 and F7.

The "+" like stem on the lighter and darker keys shows through top, as shown in the photos.
The darker coloring seems to spread unevenly on the sides, despite a cold wash.

The following pictures are the DARK sets of fkeys

I'm not planning to dye any more blues without prepayment. The existing two sets of blues are first come first served, AS IS:
$12 - for each dark blue group (2 available): each group includes WASD, Arrows, ESC, Fkeys
$40 - 100% complete light blue set: includes A-Z, 0-9, punctuation, fkeys, ESC, numpad, plus larger caps with MY stabilizers

You mean the yellow cap in the OP? Not really wanting to sell it, but $45 shipped, and it's yours.

thanks but thats a wee bit on the pricey side for me

ricercar · « **Reply #34 on:** Sun, 15 May 2011, 14:22:17 »

I have a payment from Hugo R. but I'm not sure whose order this is. Hugo R. can you please send PM to clarify?

ricercar · « **Reply #35 on:** Sun, 15 May 2011, 20:46:54 »

People have asked about fit on various keyboards.

I don't own Filco, Das, Leopold, Ducky, or Poker keyboards, so I cannot guarantee the aesthetics; I cannot guarantee shape and size match the rest of the keys.
However, since these key caps come from a Cherry G81-1800 keyboard, they will fit on any Cherry MX switch.

I suggest interested people look at the pictures posted in this thread to see if the key cap shapes appear close enough to your expecations.

ricercar · « **Reply #36 on:** Wed, 18 May 2011, 11:06:28 »

All blue and yellow paid orders ship today. Yes, I claimed yesterday, but I was wrong, so wrong, I could not have been more wrong.

Still have some yellow WASD and arrow clusters. You know you want some.

EDIT
This is what a near-Otaku set would look like

Bucky · « **Reply #37 on:** Wed, 01 June 2011, 02:50:26 »

Any yellow WASD left?

ricercar · « **Reply #38 on:** Thu, 02 June 2011, 09:05:31 »

Yes, WASD = $8

rsantos97 · « **Reply #39 on:** Thu, 02 June 2011, 21:44:55 »

PM sent for dark blue arrow keys. How about a dark blue Enter key that would fit a Filco?
