I don't think that ROUND3/ALPHA/ORANGE has been made yet, but there are some WASD sets' pics around that should look the same as this:

How can i add to my order this TOOL and that exact set of WASD ? iv tried with no success

JSchool · « **Reply #3651 on:** Sat, 03 March 2012, 08:54:38 »

That tool is not the Filco key puller in this group buy.

grik · « **Reply #3652 on:** Sat, 03 March 2012, 09:21:08 »

BLANKSPH//BLACK doesn't seem to be available, even thought the wiki suggests that it is.

For the blanks you can only order colors that are being used as part of the sets. So for spherical you can probably only grey and maybe blue since there is some blue on the F5-F8 keys and the arrow keys.

no! the colors that didn't reach moq got cut

metafour · « **Reply #3659 on:** Sat, 03 March 2012, 11:33:57 »

Some of the vim keys seem to have gotten cut but it's impossible to tell from the wiki and the order list posted earlier what is actually available. Where is the definitive list of what can actually be ordered?

JAMM0N · « **Reply #3660 on:** Sat, 03 March 2012, 11:43:56 »

i would say wait for the OP to respond or with an update with wiki

rknize · « **Reply #3661 on:** Sat, 03 March 2012, 11:53:06 »

Yes, a bunch of things just got cut. According to the thread on deskthority, he is paring things down and getting new prices from SP. Hopefully we'll get an update on Monday.

metafour · « **Reply #3662 on:** Sat, 03 March 2012, 12:06:22 »

Yeah, I understand all that. Part of the point I was trying to make was that this was supposed to end yesterday. And before that it was supposed to end on December 31, 2011. And before that...

rknize · « **Reply #3663 on:** Sat, 03 March 2012, 12:27:29 »

Yes, that goes without saying. I think that Rag's GB got 7bit thinking about prices, but for some reason he chose the same end date for his Cherry switch GB. Hopefully it will be a short delay and double-hopefully the prices will improve some.

metafour · « **Reply #3664 on:** Sat, 03 March 2012, 12:29:03 »

The concern is that he will then let it sit for a while again to let everyone make decisions on the new prices, if there are any. Rinse and repeat...

rknize · « **Reply #3665 on:** Sat, 03 March 2012, 12:41:23 »

We can only hope not.

Worst case, GB4 continues to degenerate into smaller, more focused GBs. That will probably be good (price-wise) for those of us with ANSI keyboards, but not so good for others hoping for their native language sets. Those could always be done as add-ons, but I'm being that they would be expensive. 7bit is in Deutschland, after all.

rknize · « **Reply #3667 on:** Sat, 03 March 2012, 16:24:18 »

The definitive list is probably the input to the Perl script. Too bad the bot can't refresh the Wiki, too (though I have a feeling that is where the price list comes from).

captain · « **Reply #3668 on:** Sun, 04 March 2012, 02:21:38 »

One thing that I just recently noticed is that there are sets that *replace* mod keys with RGBY, so if you want both the RGBY mods and the standard mods you'd better be very sure to order the *full* non-rgby set, and then add on the mods-only RGBY set.

e.g.: RETRO/TKLRGBYSYM does *not* include standard mod keys, or even RGBY text keys, in *replaces* the mod keys with RGBYSYM

I would have been quite annoyed to find keys missing, so I'm glad I figured this out now. Did anyone else not catch this 6mos ago? ;-P

Wow, this thread has 188K views. More than the Geekhack Mechanical Keyboard Guide Wiki.

And in for post #3747!

It's 'cause I revisit this topic at least twice a day, and I only need to read the wiki's every once-in-a-while.

Hmm, February 45'th? Of what year?

New strategy:
I will organise 4 separate group buys with just TKL and STANDARD kits
and the rest in a supplement group buy.

I will get prices like in the separate Blood (red on black) group buy for TKL and STANDARD and offer add-on stuff with these super high prices.

hashbaz · « **Reply #3679 on:** Sun, 04 March 2012, 12:52:50 »

Does this mean I get my space cadet sphericals for a reasonable price? Huzzah!

Wouldn't it be cheaper to split by style (i.e. SPH group buy, RETRO group buy, etc.) so that all the keys with the same moulds and colours get produced together?

P.S. If the spherical set doesn't happen for whatever reason I will be happy to do a separate group buy for it.

Ragnarock: 100x87 TKL in red on black please.
Melissa: $45/TKL

7bit: 75,000 key caps in 8 different colors and 2 different key families, tons of SVG graphics and what not.
Melissa: Complicated pricing with extra large buffer to compensate potential errors.

Solution:

Code: [Select]


foreach($COLORSCHEME in $COLORSCHEMES) do
  7bit: 100x92 TKL, 100x132 STD in $COLORSCHEME please.
  Melissa: $45/TKL, $65/STD
done
7bit: Add-on crap.
Melissa: $$$

Result: I can sell more of the kits the majority want and can easier compensate the high prices for add-on stuff, becuase of higher volume.

So, what is your poor bot to do? Will it replicate itself and grep -v redundant orders for the other types?

ReAzem · « **Reply #3685 on:** Sun, 04 March 2012, 14:07:27 »

Can I just have ''Any Key'' from the ROUND3/GAMER kit?

slueth · « **Reply #3686 on:** Sun, 04 March 2012, 14:10:20 »

Let hashbaz host it or someone so that she doesn't suspect and adds a complication fee the group buy. I would like the SPH for cheaper as well.

Rankrotten · « **Reply #3687 on:** Sun, 04 March 2012, 19:22:25 »

Are country specific language kits now relegated to "Add-on Crap"?

Okay..........what happens now?

Just confused about where this Group Buy is going. If you want to re-organize yourself or get people to re-order again please let us know.

I'm just so depressed about where this Group buy is going now.

ok, 7bit, can you please work with tsangan, hashbaz, and ragnarock to schedule the next few GBs then? cream cheese will be starting soon, and GBs are very likely to cannibalize business from each other (plus then we have to decide which to spend our keyboard budget on!)

i vote for cream cheese then dolch colors, then retro, personally.

Sounds OK to me… I don't subsidize your funny keys, and you don't subsidize mine.

(I would, however, like to be sure that I can get my funny keys before I order a bunch of TKLs and STANDARDs.)

mkawa · « **Reply #3694 on:** Sun, 04 March 2012, 21:15:03 »

that's another thing. there are probably orders that date back to a year ago, whose original submitters no longer are following the thread, care, or will pay when it comes time to actually order. at this point the GBs probably _have_ to be split up and re-done.
