I honestly don't quite understand the reaction here.  In the US, unless someone is asserting a copyright, design patent, or trademark, then everything is fair game as long as he doesn't claim to be the author.  This is generally true in most countries I think.  So unless you hold the trademark on "geek hack", or are asserting a copyright on the design of the geekhack key, I don't see a problem.  You don't see Cherry going around squashing the replica keysets, right?

I come from a background of heavy involvement with open source software.  I admire and encourage the process of sharing certain work for the good of the community; especially work that was derived from community resources.  Now, this part is purely my opinion, but I think that organizing a GB for the members of geekhack entitles him to include a "geek hack" key at the very least.  Likewise with the other forums.

i agree but from the reactions i assumed these logos WHERE copyrighted by the said forums hence the reactions? if not then yeah i think its just a matter of a "courtesy" to get permission first?

either way i want the keyset with or without the logo keys.

PRICE BREAK!!!

Baseset now at $64/set <3
GDKV set now at $11/set <3 <3

6 more Tenkeypad 104 kits for the next price tier!!!

1 more Light Pink set, 2 more 6.2x Spacebar and 1 more 7x Spacebar to get a GO for all of them!!!

I have a spare G80 1800 that will use your key-set.  It's all Black, hence the white/pink will stand out beautifully.  Thanks Jil.

If some un-godly event occurs like SP disappears in an Earthquake, a meteor strikes them out, or a plague of Zombies/Vampires hit's them hard, make sure the "Flag of Vietnam" keycaps get made first and distributed quickly.  8)

As the base set is mainly for GHers, the Light Pink set is what I want to make for other communities or something like that if you understand what I mean. That's why it includes other logo keycaps than only GH. If we don't have the GDKV set, so all the legend fee will be charged diretly to the Light Pink set. The price will be high, less people want to buy it.

I received requests to purchase just the logo keycaps. That's why the GDKV set was provided later than the others... Since its price is more reasonable for someone, I hope many people can buy it to share the fees.

When I get the statistics, I can re-calculate the price. Then it will be cheaper for the Light Pink set. (Its price now is not the final price for each tier, it will definitely be cheaper later) <3

But still using the GDKV set to make the light pink set cheaper would be like selling just the geekhack key by itself to make the GDKV set cheaper, so why isn't that an option?

Also since you added many options late, you may want to consider adding two or three weeks to the deadline. Even if you end in the start/middle of October you will still have more than enough time to collect money and ship the keys out well before Valentines day. There is only benefits and no negatives to giving people a couple more pay-days to decide what they want to buy.

There is reason in his commentary here. But ultimately the deadline is up to the Group Buy leader, and ONLY he/she can decide when that is.

People,

- Only 1 more Tenkeypad 104 kit will give us a price break for it!

- And please please please put your order in NOW and do NOT cancel your order of Tenkeypad 104 kit & Modified Tsangan kit. We are just right at the price break point, any cancellation will make it bad for all of us. (I can't cover it because I've already take 2 of each for my self T.T)

- I will lock the price (can not reduce anymore) of "Valentine" base set, Modified Tsangan kit, and Tenkeypad 104 kit at the deadline and start invoicing people who just ordered it.

- Light Pink set, Light Pink Modified Tsangan kit, GDKV set, ISO kit, Extra spacebars will have 1 - 2 more weeks to get more orders.

- In the mean time, keep ordering everything!

- ...

this set is gorgeous! But I don't know where to put it on... I'm really tempted but it would stay laying around unused (also my wife hate pink). And why no windows logo alternative, I cannot stand it :P

Sorry for being a newb about this, but I just found this GB today. What is the status? Is it too late to place an order now that it looks like the order has already been received?

I would also appreciate a bubble mailer option for international mail. $19 is quite expensive if not ordering a full set. Any way this will be possible?

It's not hard on your wallet. Your wallet is now the property of geekhack, so you don't even have to worry about it anymore :)).

Thanks for asking...

I want to tell all of you this, I will just collect payments for the KEYCAPS only. You guys will be charged again for shipping later.

After I submit the order to SP, boost will receive enough information about everyone's order, then invoice you for the shipping fee.

IF you just order a small quantity of keycaps (not any base set, light pink set... just 1 to 2 kits of tsangan, tenkeypad, gdkv set...), and you want to change your shipping option to Bubble mailer, please PM me asap!!!

After today, I will start collecting money for orders containing baseset, tenkeypad and tsangan kit only.

Everything can still be ordered till Sep.23, but the price for baseset, tenkeypad and tsangan kit will be locked since I start invoicing people.

I'm collecting the money now... ^.^
