By the way let's say that as always IMSTO's packages are the best. Nothing arrives damaged or broken even if the box has been beaten up. He put separated keycaps from the set in different zip bags and everything wrapped with buble plastic around.

Damn, now that's what I'm talking about. EXCELLENT packaging because that determines what shape they turn up on your front door.

Maybe I will never get mine

, ......but I'm glad someone here is fanatical about shipping something so perfectly. You guys that have them, treat them with care and admiration because they are not easily available to everyone.

It's because costar stabilizers suck.

I don't know if scoops would be possible. Actually on most of my Cherry dyesubs there is nothing. F J just have a regular flat key like D K. No scoop, nub or anything at all.

Mine's going to get delivered today! I'm so excited for Dvorak.

It arrived! Box was in horrible shape: almost 1/3 the volume had been crushed in. That said, all the keycaps were safe.

Dyesub isn't perfect. Here's a closeup of some of the harder legends:

Wow, wait, I was on that last list. How have I missed that? o:

Does anyone know how long after "Status: Collection" one has to wait before something happens? Seems nothing has happened in like six days, so I'm getting impatient. Or well, I'm never patient when it comes to post stuff to begin with anyway. :>:>:>

Post office is playing games with me. Attempted delivery on Monday and left a slip. Filled out the slip to leave on Tuesday and went to the USPS website to schedule delivery for Tuesday as well, but the tracking information hasn't been updated since the attempt on Monday!

They better hurry it up - I want my first thick PBTs

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #1660 on:** Wed, 20 March 2013, 15:11:05 »

I don't know about your post office, but since the rates change they only make one attempt around here. I would suggest you go try and collect it at the post office before they send it back.

Should be trackable in local post site, like usps.com for example.

Funny, about 15 minutes after I posted that, my tracking information was updated to show it delivered at 10am this morning!

Here's another picture to tide you over

It sounds great, the greens make a completely different noise now on my KMAc than my QFR.

About Dvorak, I was really surprised that there were only like 10 sets made. I'm glad I was able to get two of them.

After looking at the keycaps closely, some tones for R2 (If there is a a R2).
I think it'd be awesome if we could do the sublegends on the tenkey like IBM: have them be light grey, brown, or blue.
The hashmark (on three) looks really odd. My cherry doubleshot sets are both at work, so I can't compare. ^ and * (on 6 and

also look a little low or something. Not sure what's up or if it's just me
I know everyone loves windows, but having blank modifiers looks really spiffy. How much would this add to the cost to include them? Technically, there's not usually an alt graph on Dvorak, and I prefer a blank bottomrow anyway.

Ofcourse, these are just ideas. I'm pretty much garunteed to buy a set (or however many I can afford) no matter what

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #1666 on:** Wed, 20 March 2013, 19:33:43 »

The layout map in the OP, which is what imsto went off of presumably to make sure the legends were on the correct rows shows Alt Gr, so I guess it ended up in the Dvorak set.
Indeed some of the legends are not the typical ones, as I did model some of them off of more esoteric versions I have from older Cherry keysets for fun, or I simply did not get some of them right lol in some cases.
I can check with imsto, but I don't imagine adding some alternate blank or some other legend 'super' key for non Windows users would add too much, maybe a few more dollar. I was thinking to have some with Cherry logo for example.

The gray is darker than the original olivetti set, and the white might be lighter, but they're still pretty sexy

I was afraid you were going to offer 2 Tone in R2. I would have to cop against better judgment.

Missed delivery yesterday, will have to pick it up during lunchtime. Then going to put it on my Multicam @ work!

I promise not to take long on the ones I am shipping out. Once they arrive to me I intend to have everything done within 3 days. Assuming you pay your shipping invoices prompt you would have them pretty quickly.

My order even worst. I paid my shipping fee couple months ago. I am at Asia region which "should" be send out few weeks ago. I been chasing Ivanivan on when to ship out and what is the tracking number for more than 1 months. Just yesterday, I got a reply said ship out but no tracking info yet.
Not to complaint. Just to vent out the frustration.
