IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #453 on:** Wed, 24 October 2012, 11:17:56 »

185 count is current, getting closer. For vendors, just the 2 that post in the thread here keypop and keyboardstory.

I don't know if you have done it but you could talk with Bruce and Keyboardco. Maybe they are interested in selling those sets to European people.

Placed an order late last night for one set of Item #2. I'm guessing the procedure is that I'll get an invoice from Paypal at some point.

Hyde · « **Reply #456 on:** Wed, 24 October 2012, 19:05:32 »

Yeah lysol will bill you on paypal. Good job guys keep the orders coming

anthropornis · « **Reply #457 on:** Wed, 24 October 2012, 19:32:14 »

Please consider changing the Dvorak legends to blue. I'm sure that would make the set all the more appealing and wouldn't offend anyone with a current order as their primary concern is having a set with Dvorak legends.

gbohn · « **Reply #458 on:** Wed, 24 October 2012, 20:53:57 »

gbohn · « **Reply #459 on:** Wed, 24 October 2012, 21:05:10 »

> AND the wost part is that most of them had obvious indication of improper sprue remnant removal.

I recently got a Red-Alert 2 set (red on white from SP). I was a bit disappointed in a few things (even though I like them overall).

I really like the color scheme/look, and the thickness/thinness of the caps doesn't really bother me (at least so far

).

But, I did find the little missing 'divots' from where the sprue's had been removed a bit annoying.

And when I added O-rings to the stems, it would have been nice if the stems had reinforcing webbing at an ideal/consistent 'height' (to form a consistent backstop for the rings).

tjcaustin · « **Reply #460 on:** Wed, 24 October 2012, 21:13:04 »

One more for number 2

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #461 on:** Wed, 24 October 2012, 21:25:37 »

All orders invoiced, only 1 unpaid from yesterday. Very nice.
Yes, some may be more inclined to order if option X was available, but there needs to be a lot of interest to add anything else. Dvorak is already such a minority, only about 8% of the order, it would probably be the last to get any other options, sorry.

Hyde · « **Reply #462 on:** Wed, 24 October 2012, 23:58:50 »

Now if only we can find 1 vendor to order 100 sets or 2 vendors to order 50 sets each then we're gold LOL

Umm... how about qtan and feng?

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #464 on:** Thu, 25 October 2012, 00:53:30 »

feng made an order, but not super big. I don't approach qtan about it since they were supposed to have handled the production originally and there were... problems.

balanar · « **Reply #465 on:** Thu, 25 October 2012, 01:56:18 »

Put in an order for one! Can't believe I totally forgot about this.

MMB · « **Reply #466 on:** Thu, 25 October 2012, 02:15:54 »

What about Patrick? aka p.s. ?

balanar · « **Reply #467 on:** Thu, 25 October 2012, 19:50:42 »

Aaand paid the invoice.

Hyde · « **Reply #468 on:** Fri, 26 October 2012, 00:18:28 »

Gahhhh I really hope we reach 300 soon, ideally I want this before / on christmas. Which would mean hopefully we can get the order out before mid November TT___TT

Oh did the merging with korean group buy thing went through? or did they not want white keycaps >____>

Acetrak · « **Reply #469 on:** Fri, 26 October 2012, 00:51:08 »

I thought current number is including Korean merge?

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #470 on:** Fri, 26 October 2012, 08:25:48 »

No nothing is confirmed with that Hangul buy proposition yet. Current count is only for this buy.

Acetrak · « **Reply #471 on:** Fri, 26 October 2012, 08:31:43 »

Ohh got it. I'm willing to hang on for a while for this buy, there really is no other GB that offers Cherry (font+profile) thick PBT's like this.

MMB · « **Reply #472 on:** Fri, 26 October 2012, 10:40:18 »

I hope we can merge with the hangul buy. I want a hangul set

Hyde · « **Reply #473 on:** Fri, 26 October 2012, 22:19:53 »

Do you know how many people are on the hangul buy so far? I hope they have at least 50 lol.

yuiop · « **Reply #474 on:** Sat, 27 October 2012, 01:12:46 »

credit: KBD
Hangul GB at KBD started a week ago and there are about ~80 sets ordered so far. There's no mention of MOQ so I'm guessing they already have a deal with imsto to produce these sets.
The problem with merging is that the KBD Hangul sets will be made with gray and blue caps, not white. It probably won't help us with our MOQ.

IlikeGravy · « **Reply #475 on:** Sat, 27 October 2012, 04:13:34 »

How thick are these?

Very thick like Cherry keycaps.

fruktstund · « **Reply #477 on:** Sat, 27 October 2012, 05:06:31 »

I'm about 99% sure sets in other colours than white don't count towards the MOQ of 300. I don't think a merge as such would be possible, but rather it'd be more like "add an option for white hangul sets" at KBDMania/OTD.

If white Hangul sets were to be added, PM me, email me, call me and call my grandmother.

chaosstep · « **Reply #478 on:** Sat, 27 October 2012, 09:10:16 »

How is going on?

not yet 200 set? I think we need to negotiate with IMSTO.
300 moq is really hard tough now.

jdcarpe · « **Reply #479 on:** Sat, 27 October 2012, 11:31:43 »

WTB white Hangul set.

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #480 on:** Sat, 27 October 2012, 11:33:09 »

Right, I asked if they wanted to have a white option... nothing. 300 sets was accomplished once, but then all those people didn't pay it. Yes it is hard, but maybe not impossible to get there again.
If went with grey or blue there is not moq, as those are in stock already. We could do the same thing right now and have sets in production within the week if everyone want to switch keycap color.

If you guys want the white Hangul, keep telling the KBD organizer. I don't want to run basically same thing in competition.

jdcarpe · « **Reply #481 on:** Sat, 27 October 2012, 11:38:00 »

Personally, I don't mind having the Cyrillic's on grey or blue. You could take another poll.

Or grey, with blue modifiers. Like my RF 10th AE.

Or blue, with grey modifiers. Now where have I seen that before...

poopmat · « **Reply #482 on:** Sat, 27 October 2012, 11:48:13 »

ill take whatever colors can be made to make this happen
id like white but blue or gray would be awesome too

asura · « **Reply #483 on:** Sat, 27 October 2012, 11:56:14 »

My personal preference would be white or grey. In fact... blue, I think I'd ask for a refund...

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #484 on:** Sat, 27 October 2012, 12:08:18 »

Just looking at what the options are, not suggesting anything. It will be up to the participants to decide to either 1. keep waiting and see if we can get back to moq, 2. pick alternate keycap color, 3. cancel and have a refund.

kmiller8 · « **Reply #485 on:** Sat, 27 October 2012, 12:30:48 »

I'm with asura. I'd be ok switching to grey, but big red X from me for blue.

Hyde · « **Reply #486 on:** Sat, 27 October 2012, 13:08:34 »

Well I'm trying to ask Lysol to check if imsto or the factory has these in stock. Because if they have these in stock and has a much lower MOQ, I'd much rather go with this colour.

http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z10.3.0.90.IAyLk1&id=14265953713&

Let's see if we hear back anything.

*cross fingers*

But yeah I joined in around early October and at the time our number was at 160/300, now it's 188/300 and it's been like 2-3 weeks?. So unless there is miracle I think it will take a long time to hit 300/300.

You mean colours? White keys/grey mods with lasered legends? Unfortunately, you can't laser coloured legends (meaning no go for the for Cyrillic/ US int'l sets).
Seems I'll be looking forward to the Cyrillic caps on grey keys (they'll hide dirt better, right?)

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #488 on:** Sat, 27 October 2012, 13:18:20 »

Lasered stuff is old stock from long time ago. Presumably stuff that didn't sell so good.

Hyde · « **Reply #489 on:** Sat, 27 October 2012, 13:43:23 »

Noooooooo that sucks, if only they realize the same keycaps but colour dye sub would sell muchhhhhh better. Also why didn't they stock white? I thought black/white is the most popular colour

So looks like we really only have blue / grey as our choice eh

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #490 on:** Sat, 27 October 2012, 15:42:14 »

If you recieved a shipped notification from paypal, nothing is shipped. This is only done to prevent paypal from locking up the account.

pasph · « **Reply #491 on:** Sat, 27 October 2012, 17:48:32 »

I'm not interested in grey\blue

Caaaarrrt · « **Reply #492 on:** Sat, 27 October 2012, 18:38:00 »

Is this white colour similar to the white/beige filco case, or would it be whiter than this?

Hyde · « **Reply #493 on:** Sat, 27 October 2012, 19:29:14 »

From what I know seems like it's whiter than filco's white/beige, but also not pure white. So kind of like a tiny tiny tint of grey but close to really white.

=================================================================================================

Should we set up a poll see what people want? Maybe like a 2 stage poll each is like 1 week apart.

Stage 1:

Grey or Blue and Keep Waiting or Purchase Now

Stage 2:

Stay with winning color or refund. unless Keep Waiting Wins

Stage 3:

Send order. Everyone's happy.

=================================================================================================

Since now it's weekend we can probably run the Color/Go/No Go poll till next weekend, then do the buy/refund contact the week after.

Good thing about this is that since blue and grey has no MOQ so it should be easier (in theory).

chaosstep · « **Reply #494 on:** Sat, 27 October 2012, 21:32:04 »

I'm not interested in Grey or Blue either. I prefer like Cherry original two-tone style. But white is Ok.
Unfortunately, I told the KBD organizer about this GB. But he doesn't want to run with our idea. lol

I know there aren't many Dvorak orders, but I'd prefer blue legends, too. Maybe if a majority of Dvorak'ers want to switch, we can affect a change.

I might be able to grab another set, to get us closer, Let me think about it.

limmy · « **Reply #498 on:** Sun, 28 October 2012, 08:26:39 »

Are you open to suggestions? I would think the following will attract some interest.

How about English black, Shift green letters, Alt blue letters, Control red letters, and Esc red letters.
It would look similar to the following, except base color would be white instead of grey.

pic source: AKIMbO's sale thread http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=36881.0

If additional colors are no go, all black will also do. We have seen many dye sub keys, but we haven't seen a lot of black legend keys. The only black legend keys I saw were on grey caps. I wonder if there is some kind of technical difficulty in getting black print on white keys.

What do you think? If you are willing accept my idea, I would advertise it for you at KBDMania and put in a order myself.
