So now that the new SVGs are done, wouldn't it make sense to do another GB for the regular colored moogle kits (black and gray) and maybe Esc?

Round 4 GB has the moogle kit option

Of course.

I'll be placing the order this week. I've decided against a second Esc prototype. We'll just go with cycloverid's new iteration (modifications based on the first prototype).

SmallFry · « **Reply #355 on:** Tue, 03 January 2012, 19:08:40 »

YAY! Perfect to go with my new Click Clack and white Leopold with Clears :GIANTgrin: <-- Meh, I guess that isn't a smiley...:biggrin:

eth0s · « **Reply #356 on:** Wed, 04 January 2012, 20:22:21 »

I hope I'm not too late. If there is still time add my order:

2x REDESC
2x RGBY-ANSI
New York, NY USA
priority shipping

I sent you a PM as well. Sry for msg bombing you, but I don't want to miss out.

Edit: if accepted, I'll send you $45.50 via Paypal immediately.

AbsurdMan · « **Reply #357 on:** Thu, 05 January 2012, 01:09:44 »

Just out of curiosity, do you have an expected arrival date?

hashbaz · « **Reply #358 on:** Thu, 05 January 2012, 01:17:17 »

A few weeks from when the order goes in. February-ish.

hashbaz · « **Reply #359 on:** Thu, 05 January 2012, 16:37:46 »

The order has been placed, and our moneys transferred to SP! Melissa says to expect shipment to me by the end of the first week of February. I've already got a good start on addressing bubble mailers, so expect prompt shipment from me to you shortly thereafter. New orders are now CLOSED. For reals this time.

Thanks everyone.

HoboBob · « **Reply #360 on:** Thu, 05 January 2012, 16:49:00 »

Good news and good work hashbaz!

cycloverid · « **Reply #361 on:** Thu, 05 January 2012, 19:22:38 »

Hashbaz decided to try the 0.018" cutter for the final. This was my first instinct after seeing the prototype (using 0.015").

Oddly though, measuring the overlay I made in Illustrator gave me results of almost exactly 0.015". At that point I left it up to Hashbaz to make the final call (whether we would do another prototype).

Ultimately I'm grateful for all the work hashbaz put into this group buy, and I think we'll all be very happy with the results.

Thanks hashbaz!

Well worth the wait hashbaz. Thanks for the dedication. I'm sure the keys will turn out great. Of course cycloverid, great work on the SVGs.

Btw, is the chosen RA Red a little lighter than SPs usual red ESC red? As it can look quite dark on a white keyboard.

The standard SP red Esc keys are also RA. I don't know what color the ones Fentek sells are, but that image looks like a more saturated red to me. *shrug*

AlleyViper · « **Reply #370 on:** Wed, 11 January 2012, 14:21:27 »

I don't have any regular SP ESC, but judging for SPs pics, the only difference in Fentek keys seems the Esc writing. Just checking if it had more yellow, as in a brighter shade of red.

Bah, it's gotten quiet in here. How anxious is everyone?

hashbaz · « **Reply #372 on:** Wed, 18 January 2012, 23:12:08 »

Melissa told me she expected to ship the keys by the end of the first week of February. That's just over two weeks from now. It's getting close..!

So how much 'lower' do these keys sit compared to Filco/WASD caps?

litster · « **Reply #376 on:** Fri, 20 January 2012, 10:59:26 »

What are keys site?

Mysteric · « **Reply #377 on:** Fri, 20 January 2012, 11:16:06 »

Sorry, I meant 'sit' as in the key profile.

Here is my attempt at photographing the profile difference of an SP shift against Cherry 2-shots. The green key on the bottom row is from WASD.

Do those just come in one huge back that you have to sort? How about the Rd. 4. Theres no way all that just comes mixed up is there. Cause that could take months to sort.

From what I know it never comes sorted

hashbaz · « **Reply #386 on:** Tue, 24 January 2012, 15:25:33 »

I believe the keys arrive sorted in separate bags, but, for example, my RGBY sets will have to be assembled by me. And SP definitely has no knowledge of the individual suborders in our group buys.

wongster · « **Reply #387 on:** Tue, 24 January 2012, 15:56:35 »

Let me know if you want some help with sorting or anything else hashbaz, since I'm close and picking up my order anyway.

lightsout714 · « **Reply #388 on:** Tue, 24 January 2012, 15:56:57 »

But hopefully like a 104pc complete set would come in its own bag? If not then thats nuts.

I know that the Round 3 sets at least did not come in their own bags. I've read in various threads that you can pay SP to do the sorting for you. Lame, I agree, but it makes sense. Each legend/color combination is produced in a batch all at once. Somebody has to assemble them together into sets from piles of individual keys, whether it's you or SP.

Ah I see. Man that really is a serious undertaking. Is 7bit pocketing money on the group buy because he sure should be. Thats like a second job lol.

So these are cherry profile? So they may look odd on a board with filco size caps.

They are 1.25x, meaning it will fit Filcos

lightsout714 · « **Reply #395 on:** Tue, 31 January 2012, 09:14:22 »

Yah height wise. Because when I put the alpha numeric doubleshots on a filco I didn't like how the modifiers were raised up compared to the rest of the keys (without a moogle.) Maybe it would be better with these since it would be opposite.

They are SP profile. Not exactly Cherry, not exactly Filco. SP-profile modifiers are more sharply angled than Cherry keys. It's not very noticeable looking from above, but if you look at your keyboard edge-on you will definitely notice that the shifts are higher than the other keys on that row. Ripster has some pictures illustrating SP profile in his GLWIC thread. Here is my attempt at photographing an SP shift against Cherry keys.
