Great job Batmann.  I updated your order on the list.  Now we just need to wait to hear back from SP about the samples...

Nicely done Batmann.
I prefer the row 1 keys. I don't have any use for an H or a Ba in my row 2 (since there is no H or B there). With or without GH keys, doesn't really matter to me :)

I think we are going to go with Row 1 keys.  Ge and H keys will be available but in a more limited quantity and not required for the set.

We are just waiting on the Blue key and everything should be a go.

I concur, I'm not sure I want a GH set for this.

Will there by prototypes of all keys available for viewing before ordering? That's kind of what I've been waiting for...

This is going to work more like a sale than a GB.  I am going to front the cost (and the risk) and all keys will be available on techkeys.us at group buy prices for a limited time.

So to answer your question, you will get to see the final product before deciding if you want to buy.

any chance we can see samples of the "crystal" keys before I put in for a few? It's an interesting prospect but If they're just clear plastic then i'm out.

AWESOME UPDATE


I have been working with Melissa on the blue clear cap.

This is what the standard blue looks like:

5355-0


Not quite what we were looking for...so I asked if we could lighten it up a bit...


5357-1


ehh...better, but still very blue and clear...but then Melissa got it PERFECT.  It is with much excitement that I present to you, "The Meth Cap"

holy crap nice. Love bottom left.

Is there any chance I can order crystals in a set of 4 for my WASD cluster rather than 2 sets of 3?

What's the price per cap + Shipping? I checked OP but it's not listed.

I could have sworn this said interest check, and not Group Buy when I posted my interest. Will there be an update on price and stuff before you convert interest into orders?

Any idea how long it will be before these babies are in your hands and ready to be purchased by us? This is really the first GB I've been involved with, I'm not really sure how long they tend to take.

Please Read
I am going to place the order with SP tomorrow and allow for plenty of leftovers.  The keys being made are going to be the Br and Ba as well as top row and bottom row (arrow keys) translucent blue keys.  The Ge and H key have been tabled for now.

There will be no formal group buy, the keys will be listed on techkeys.us when they arrive at the typical GB price (TBD).  After one week the price will go up to help hedge the risk of me buying lots of extras.  If you don't want to miss this window of buying at cost, sign up for product notifications at http://www.techkeys.us/contact-us.php This process will eliminate the need to manage a thread, respond to 100's of PMs, send 100's of invoices, break legs to pay, and have you out the cash for 3-4 weeks.  Instead when the keys arrive, you buy and they ship next day.

And I feel like we should make 4 crystal keys instead of three, that way the entire key set can replace the Insert, Delete, Home, End, and Page Up/Down keys.

If this stays with sets of three meth keys, is there anyway I could get an extra meth key?

Thanks

Just so it's clear, the Crystal keys won't be F'n row profile, instead they will be intended for use on the Arrow cluster?
