^ I'm still waiting for that smiley myself. =P

The keys will ship soon, I promise.

I'm waiting to hear back from Melissa before I send any out.

Ok, Melissa is rerunning the ISO shifts. No word yet on a time frame, but I asked her in a follow-up email.

She pushed back on the diamond keys, which I expected. She says they're only 0.005" off, which sounds insignificant. But in person, when viewed at a normal typing angle, the difference is clearly visible without measuring. I told her that if she can verify that our keys came from the same mold as the diamond key from R3, I'll be satisfied to keep what we have.

hashbaz · « **Reply #553 on:** Mon, 13 February 2012, 15:07:20 »

Melissa says they only have one 1.25x diamond mold, so the old keys must be off-center too. The new ISO shifts should be done in about a week. So unless ISO people tell me otherwise, I'm going to hold off shipping their orders until I have the new keys (and I'll include both the original arrowless keys and the new arrowed ones).

Non-ISO orders should go out tomorrow morning!

Heh, don't get too excited. I'm going to wait until people start receiving their keys to post the sale thread. The extras are also insurance in case stuff gets lost in the mail.

I just got back from the post office. If you're outside the US and didn't buy an ISO shift, your package is in the mail.

That's HoboBob, Zoop, Brendan, Dox, infamouskid, AlleyViper, Hakhu, 7roi, bongmist, dux, Kaiserreich, nerfredux, laggy-gaga, Torgee, jinzo.pk3, michaelgasser17, and malik17th.

Fun facts: We have both a Dox and a dux at geekhack. And two of these people live in the same city in Ontario.

The color is off but that's close enough for me. The original's orange-red is a bit off in comparison. I like the color we picked

I just got mine today and they look great! Only thing I'm having trouble with is the Shift keys. The inserts are falling out of them and the key itself gets stuck. I had to go to work but I'm going to try some different inserts later tonight.

Yeah, SP's stabilized keys can be pretty loose. Just place a small piece of plastic or paper over the holes before you push the inserts in. That'll keep them nice and tight.

Just to be clear, I'm not respecting anyone's dibs. There will be a sale thread, and it will be first come first served.
