7x black and 6.25x black. I support green, as long as you don't drop black!

Ease guys, I'll make green and grey available for sure in the next round. Depending on the samples, I think orange is a bit better looking than green, hopefully we can come up with a better green next time.

UNTOLD.......thank you Feng for listening to a tiny number of screwballs and troublemakers.

I can't wait to get my future Green's and Grey's (OEM's this time).

x equals the space from the center of one MX switch to another, which is 19mm, or almost 0.75 inches.

Just to be clear in case someone reads this and uses these dimensions. 1u is exactly 0.75", and almost 19mm (19.05mm to be exact). Not the other way around.

You think it would be possible to make the green like (or very close to) the green in the CCnG set? Maybe it would need to be less shiny? Aint an expert, but it's one of the best looking green I have seen on keycaps, and a pretty popular keycap set too!

jdcarpe · « **Reply #106 on:** Thu, 10 January 2013, 09:10:18 »

For some reason I thought using 19mm spacing had fixed some problems with plate designs and such, but I haven't designed any plates or PCBs myself, so I trust damorgue on this one. Go with his measurements, not mine.

The aluminum spacebars from the 1st round are sand blasted finished. In the 2nd round, the surface will look shinier than the 1st round. They have been polished more than once, so they look quite shiny.

It should be possible.

Finger prints = yuck

The_Ed · « **Reply #112 on:** Fri, 11 January 2013, 12:27:42 »

Wait 'till next round. This round is shiny, and that is what I paid for.

Should be able to get both. feng has done stuff like this before *shrug* especially when a lot of people want the same thing.

The_Ed · « **Reply #114 on:** Fri, 11 January 2013, 13:16:13 »

Sandblasted was last round, shiny is this round. 4 colors, 2 profiles, and 2 lengths is variety enough for this round without adding in another finish. Just wait 'till next round...

If he adds sandblasted as an option he would be flooded with PMs to change current orders. Let him enjoy his vacation people. Either order what he is offering, or wait 'till he offers what you want instead.

If you're assuming he will be flooded with PM's, then you recognize that a lot of people want it. Why would you be against people getting what they want? It's not like they're suggesting to get rid of shiny, so you would still be happy too.

We dropped green and got black because people asked for what they wanted. Did you order a black spacebar?...

This is what happens with "group buys" that don't have interest checks, which is the risk the seller takes. I put "group buys" because there is no tier system for people to try and hit for another discount. It is literally just a sale with no quantity discount, and then a markup on ebay with the extras. This alone I think gives us the right to ask for what we want, then there is the fact that it has already been done (the last round of aluminum spacebars) AND people want it again.

Ummm, I bought two Titaniums which do attract fingerprints but I found when using "Mr.Sheen" (not that 'winning' guy) it actually removes all the prints and you could type on the space-bar for at least a few days without leaving any on the surface.

Hence I don't mind shiny at all. There is always a fix.

danielucf · « **Reply #125 on:** Mon, 14 January 2013, 16:28:36 »

I just got the bad news about no sandblasting this time and why. Going to wait for R3 and hope black sandblasted will be possible.

Is feng still sick with the airplane cold..? still no update in OP on health conditions..

What would we do without feng...

Also, if anyone has a space bar from "last round", Could you weight it please... in international si-"grams"

I dunno what si-"grams" are, but I love Seagrams gingerale...though, I guess, Canada Dry is better.

My titanium spacebar weighs 17g if that helps.

el2k · « **Reply #136 on:** Wed, 23 January 2013, 12:01:28 »

I had an aluminium spacebar from round 1 and it literally weighed nothing..

Sadly It's in the post to someone else so I can't tell you the exact amount right now.

jdcarpe · « **Reply #137 on:** Wed, 23 January 2013, 12:30:05 »

feng · « **Reply #146 on:** Tue, 29 January 2013, 15:46:35 »

Will have to charge more on international shipping, will do asap. Shipping is no longer $5, it would cost about $6.5 for a few spacebars weighing less than one pound.

Also the USPS Priority Small Flat Rate Box International raised from $16.95 to $23.95.

DanGWanG · « **Reply #147 on:** Tue, 29 January 2013, 15:54:24 »
