[Order Thread] MKC -- 2nd Generation of Zinc Keycaps. [Shipped]

[tipo33]

So have the caps shipped or are we still waiting for shipping?

I've got the keycaps and I'm preparing shipping lately.

For those of us with several orders from you,  will you ship it as one package?

Will combine the shipping if required. I've shipped out your zinc order today, and will ship out your Ti spacebar tomorrow.

I'm desperate for the keycaps :-D

Of course everyone is! I have been watching this thread and must admit I check every day several times, I'm obsessed I think...

[AuRinBei]

Oh man, I'm so exited for the zinc caps. I have a gen 1 escape key, and it feels and sounds awesome. Somehow heavier and lighter at the same time. I can't tell how a full set will feel just from that, but I think it will be good.

[Makeo]

Haha starting monday every time i hear the mail man/lady drive by im going to get all excited

Could have combined mine!  Got my Alu spacebar and Chaos keys in separate shipments, still waiting for the Zinc key.

[daerid]

Hopefully Hammer will be able to make some by the end of this year.

Don't toy with me man. My wallet is hurting enough with xmas around the corner.

[Turbo Slaab]

Feng, will these gen 2 caps be making their way to your eBay store at some point? I missed out on the GB.

USPS shipping currently indicates...

Electronic Shipping Info Received:

"The U.S. Postal Service was electronically notified by the shipper on November 25, 2012 to expect your package for mailing. This does not indicate receipt by the USPS or the actual mailing date"

 

How are we going?  )

[TheProfosist]

Interested in when these caps shipped or if they shipped as well.

Looking for some extra blanks as well

[restless]

Just received my order a little while ago :x

[IlikeGravy]

OMG, these feel amazing on blues! I really wish I could have afforded a full set but maybe next group buy. Thanks feng!

[aggiejy]

Got mine today, very nice!  I don't think I'll actually use them though, they're very heavy and loud.  But they're pretty dang cool to look at.  (I got the mod set)

[TheProfosist]

Got mine and today but im missing 5 keys in my full set with legends

[Makeo]

early xmas gift to me!



yay! new look



Quick question, in my set i received 2 left shifts but no enter key. Is the left shift the same profile as the enter key? Or did I get an extra shift instead of an enter key?

[TheProfosist]

lefy shift is a different profile than enter so check carefully and compare the profile to right shift

[Makeo]

bah, thats a bummer yeah i can see the shift is a little taller than the enter key.

[TheProfosist]

bah, thats a bummer yeah i can see the shift is a little taller than the enter key.

so did you get the correct keys if not id send a pm to feng

[gizzard]

Got my 86 today. Missing 2 keys.  Sent a pm to Feng

[TheProfosist]

For my 86 today. Missing 2 keys.  Sent a pm to Feng

ouch though you fared better than me, i wonder is he sorted the 86 key sets or if MKC did.

[feng]

My inbox is a mess, I'll get back to those questions tomorrow night since I'm preparing for my accouting test now.

Just asked MKC and he said that the enter key has the same profile as left-shift key because of their mistake when building the new mold. I think changing the mold would cost a lot as usual, MKC said he's not planning to get the right enter key. He completely has no way to fix this problem. :/

here are some pics of my caps

Thanks hope to hear back soon and focus on your test!

lol I didnt even notice the more angled enter probably because on my Phantoms I have to use a R1 profile key as well.

thanks for the reply its not the end of the wold for me was just curious about it. I couldn't tell the difference till i was sitting there matching the keys side to side staring at them for a few minutes.

[tipo33]

I also had a small discreptancy,  but I love typing on the caps

[gizzard]

Caps are amazing.. funny that my set was missing "4" and "esc"...  my fiancee says that feng is trying to tell me something ("there is no escape from death")

[AuRinBei]

OK, who has my S, and who's K do I have?

[tsangan]

Poor feng ;_;

My order was fine and just wanted to say these zinc caps exceeded my expectations as they are quite nice

[AuRinBei]

They are really nice, but right now I'm playing with WAKD. I totally understand that though, small mistakes happen. But I don't get how some people can be missing multiple modifier keys.

[kmiller8]

I got mine today as well. If I knew how nice these were, I would have grabbed a few more

Thanks feng!

[metalliqaz]

Strikingly high error rate. 

[DasKwonDo]

Strikingly high error rate. 

Getting a little worried now since these will arrive in Australia, hope they all turn up.

[aggiejy]

Well, FWIW all mine came, nothing wrong or missing.  Like most things, I'm sure the people that had problems are more likely to post.  So stay optimistic if you're still waiting. :-)

Edit: I posted some pictures here: http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=33155.msg728124#msg728124

I'm assuming there will be extras for your ebay store?  I'm debating on dressing my pure in zinc and aluminum.

This!

V2 wasd clusters are up now.....

[TheProfosist]

Anyone heard back from feng on missing keys? Id like to order more but not until my first order is resolved.

[gizzard]

Still waiting.. i assume hes recovering from his accounting exam...  I cant wait to get my missing keys so I can start covering the internet with pictures of my keyboard

[feng]

Just replied those of you who have the wrong keys or miss keys. Sorry about the delay guys. My Finals are coming @_@

Feng, will these gen 2 caps be making their way to your eBay store at some point? I missed out on the GB.

Yeah I'll put the leftovers in my eBay store for sure, but basically with less options, for example I won't put the single modifier and R1-R4 keys for sale.

Caps are amazing.. funny that my set was missing "4" and "esc"...  my fiancee says that feng is trying to tell me something ("there is no escape from death")

LOL she has a great point there!

Poor feng ;_;

I told you these are a way better than the 1st version.

They are really nice, but right now I'm playing with WAKD. I totally understand that though, small mistakes happen. But I don't get how some people can be missing multiple modifier keys.

Well, it's not just a small mistake. MKC let those workers to deal with organizing these keycaps instead of himself, and obviously those people have no idea about keycaps. I was sorting the WASD and arrow keysets last night, and half amount of the arrow keysets have wrong keys! 

I'm assuming there will be extras for your ebay store?  I'm debating on dressing my pure in zinc and aluminum.

Yeah they'll be available in my eBay for sure.

[TheProfosist]

Thanks for posting hopefully you can get this worked out so we can all have complete sets.

[metalliqaz]

Feng gets A+.  MKC gets C-.   

[tipo33]

Feng gets A+.  MKC gets C-.   

Absolutely,  Feng's custumer support is great!

[Makeo]

Feng is awesome! Always on top of things.

[DasKwonDo]

Feng gets A+.  MKC gets C-.   

So far USPS Priority International gets a big F! Still nothing turned up, but maybe I'm a little impatient in Australia.

Tracking has 25th Nov, so I'm assuming Feng posted on the 26th or there abouts. Up to about 8 working days now.

[DasKwonDo]

I'm missing WASD from the Counter-strike kit.  There seems to have been a mix up with the keys as I recieved an extra CS key which was for the "T" key. This isn't supposed to be part of this kit...

Feng when are you able to send WASD keys my way?

Cheers man. The keys i've recieved so far are simply amazing quality, very impressed.

[gizzard]

Received my missing keys today.  Thanks Feng!!!

[TheProfosist]

Also got word that my missing keys are being shipped.

[magnetic]

got my cap today, very nice.

cheers 

[netdevil]
