So jealous that mine haven't gotten here yet. And CLiB has the right idea with the key placement, definitely the best place for them. Tracking says they've been in the sorting facility since yesterday...I hope they don't get lost...

Does anyone realize i3oiler is taking a significant risk here? And I for sure expected his approach to pricing. Lol@dumbasses who apparently are too dumb to see the obvious.

There was this group buy morals discussion thread, and that guy doing the RGB buy in this way got praised for it. Da**** is going on ?

Going as far as 'branding' them 'Breaking Bad' kinda risk? Sony Pictures Entertainment kinda risk? xD not sure on that choice... owning a store & all.

...or the fronting of the money? I think people have just sorta gotten used to the traditional group buy methods...? including perhaps  in somes opinion; taking a longer time collecting orders ? idk man

Just realize the pics look a lot different than them in person. It's a lot bluer with blue led's (duh) IRL

So first they sent my keys to the wrong facility (which was still pretty close to me) then they sent it to the right facility, who then sent it to a facility even farther away in Detroit! Hopefully they're here by the end of the month...

Got my keys today, very nice!

However when I was installing them I noticed that a few keys looked to be... off color.



It's kinda hard to tell in the picture, but they get more translucent from left to right, thankfully it was only those two on the right that were noticeably different so I'll just give them away to a friend. Just a heads up for other people.

Thanks for the keys i3oiler!

They are on order and would expect to see them in about 2 weeks.  I will accept preorders through tomorrow afternoon at group buy prices but then prices will increase.  If interested PM me an order

just got my crystals and mine are the same way.. half of them are noticeably different in clarity/opacity just like the picture above shows... you can also see the internal "frame" of them, which is very unattractive..  not cool, especially when theyre going on an backlit board

im going to order more in the hopes that half of them will be good  :rolleyes:

Would be perfect if they were all super transparent...

i3oiler do you think I could buy 2 more R4 (bottom row) 'arrow' keys & you could pick me out 2 very transparent ones to ship with my 'Hazard key set' order?

I only care since its the arrow cluster... (up & down vs left & right)

Was hoping to get some a week back at $2.62 and now it's $6. =/ Did not follow the whole thread closely but is this because it's almost all sold out? Will the prices drop again?
Thanks in advance.

The $2.62 price was GB price. i3oiler said he would leave them like that for a week, then raise them to store price.

Oh alright, thanks for clearing it up.

I interpret this as there'll be a 2nd group buy but it won't be as low priced as the first?

It won't be a group buy. Brad will be restocking the keys himself for his store! If you PMed him an order beforehand, you would still get them at the group buy prices, but currently all new orders will be at his store price.
