My tracking number finally started working.  It shows that it was just picked up for delivery today...

For those of you who have already gotten yours, does your tracking information say the same, or does it indicate that it has been delivered?

I wonder if it's a delay in the tracking system, or if my keys just got sent out with a different batch.

I ordered on 5/31. Tracking# wasn't working this morning. But it's now working - status="Picked up".

I wonder why they don't do USPS Priority with the mailman picking stuff up at their place. That would have been a lot faster. $11 for shipping should be more than enough. They're just trying to make bigger profits I guess...

Same thing here, tracking didn't work until this morning.

Ahh!  That makes more sense.  So I guess the people who've already received theirs placed their orders on or before 5/30.

I should say "Monday must be Fedex pickup day for tankguys" and not Fedex pickup day in general.

So I got my caps in.  Gold (er white?) on black.  The inconsistencies in the font for the symbols is a little disappointing but otherwise they are great caps.  The $ and & are huge looking.  It seems they alternated between bold and non-bold according to random chance.  The spacebar curves up a tad at the ends.  Haven't fitted them yet, waiting on a lull in my work.

ETA also Friday... Can't wait to put these on my browns. Installing the keys with the stabilizers are a ***** though... any tips?

Put them on my Filco tenkeyless brown just now.  I don't have the case-top on the KB, but there is a distinctly lower pitch and possibly less volume to the bottoming out.  Yes I bottom every damned key because that's the way I likes it!  Also like not having that silly bubble on the windows keys.

So one shot with flash and one terrible handheld no-flash 1/6sec shutter with a desk lamp glaring across it.

Ripster's guide is pretty good..  with pictures and all.  It helped me with removing the keys and spacebar on the Filcos.

Wow, thanks... I'm such a total noob. I removed the whole stabilizer from the mount with the key attached... shouldn't did a little more research. Glad I didn't break anything though.

Goddamn, these keys feel SO good.  I didn't think keycaps could change the feel of a keyboard by so much.  I should have ordered two sets...

I'm just flabbergasted how different the keyboard feels.  The only word I can really think of to describe the feeling is that the keys just feel more...substantial.

I'm nerdgasming pretty hard right now, aren't I?  The packaging is awesome, too.
