Do you ship to Turkey? And at what cost?

Orders are closed now, but yes group buys here typically ship worldwide.  Shipping cost is shown in the OP. ;)

Where did I say anyone owed me money or that I had a patent on a star shape? I just think it's lame when people can't come up with their own ideas.  I was nudging someones lack of creativity, not saying that I felt entitled to anything or that I own the design, that was not my point.

Here's some trivia for you: I was the first person to have signature plastics create non-standard doubleshot keys and I worked with them to figure out how to do it with svg files.  You're welcome.  And the star key was more of a test than anything, we didn't know how it was going to turn out.  Yes, I did design the shape if you're curious, but I wasn't hung up on that or claiming rights.

Demik, Your troll reply is unbecoming of a moderator.

Demik, Your troll reply is unbecoming of a moderator.

To be completely honest the GHSS didn't come in my mind when it was first suggested in the red on black DS set, reason for the suggestion was to have a shape key for Row 4 for winkeyless keyboards other then the diamond key, also the square, circle, and triangle ones were pretty ugly so the star was suggested and used.

This set was made because of how scarce winkeyless black Cherry DS are and many winkeyless users needs 1x keys so the exact same SVGs were used.

If this star key has upset you in anyway I want to apologize I did not mean for this to happen.

It's a kinder response, but you don't deserve an apology for someone putting a star on a key cap. A star is not an original idea. You didn't invent the shape. You may have traced it into an SVG graphic but who cares? You could have also drawn a square, a circle, or pile of poop. Take that stuff back to drama island where it belongs, there's no reason for you to come in here and start spouting off about a generic star being "your" idea. This group buy doesn't even have stars included.

Just like the RA legends that nobody from GH wants to TOUCH because somebody else paid for them? Even though they're pretty much exactly the same as every other keyboard with very minor changes? Get off his back. We wouldn't have anywhere near as many choices for keycaps as we do now without that 'generic star'.

Of course it is, they can't physically make a center stemmed, stepped capslock. I wondered about this when I first heard mention of it because of how the cap interferes with the switch housing itself. I'd assumed it wasn't a 1/2 stepped capslock like on Cherry keyboards and more of a 1/4 stepped capslock as found on some cheaper keyboards (HP, Dell, etc...)

Oh well, at least we'll have them and they can be modded on our own.

Yes!  We're very lucky to have caught this now.  I've already been in touch with Melissa and have cancelled the stepped Caps Locks.  Expect a refund soon if you ordered.  Sorry about this guys.

For the record, tsangan and I were both very careful to always refer to these as stepped, center-mount Caps Locks in emails with Melissa, but it seems that we were still talking past each other. :-/

Please see tsangan's post and subsequent discussion in the Cream Cheese set thread as he is the one who discovered this and has been discussing it with Melissa extensively.
