Try to get order in ASAP, but it really won't cap. I'm no longer taking orders for just plain keyboards though. The ones that have the form filled out as of now get theirs, but from now on only customized ones will be allowed. This is because there is a minimum amount the guy said he'd take so he doesn't waste a day of work for nothing.

do you have an update on US shipping costs? I am fine with the slowest/cheapest option

Yes I knew I forgot to mention something.. thank you.

I will have to wait and update your invoice with the lowered shipping cost in a couple days, my PayPal account is under investigation because someone somehow logged on and sent themselves money, I'll update it as soon as I can. It will be $2.14 instead of $11.30, so that is awesome

Keegan, since you paid yours already I will also send you the difference I owe you for paying the more expensive shipping, this will also be done as soon as possible.

Thanks!

Gupgup

I'm assuming when you say Keegan you meant me?

afaik the alu replacement case for filco/cm qfr in wfd's youtube video did not fit ducky, so i don't expect this one will either.

So I watched WFD's video on the ducky not fitting into a vortex case. thats not exactly what I asked about, Its only the top side of the case and no plates are involved. So will these fit a Ducky YOTD? If it is, maybe ill order another case

I'll be sending out PMs today. I'll be telling you what you have down and what color(s) you'd like.

For simplistic purposes please reply something like this:
Say you have one stock and one painted.

"Stock - Grey
Painted - Red + White"

Choose wisely because this will be the last time I ask for your color choice.

Our third color added, after looking over peoples votes, is Light Blue. It will probably be a sort of light blue like the one in my avatar
<---------

Please reply to this PM. I had some people that never replied to my first round of PMs and if so happens again, will have to cancel their order

Thanks everyone!

Should be at least 3 left I'm sure. I'll count for sure tomorrow as I'm pretty tired, and am going to bed soon.

Colors have been decided due to majority vote, red, white and light blue.

I'll have color codes and what not very soon.

I was actually looking for a black one, but I see that you're not taking any more orders for plain cases... too bad I didn't notice this thread earlier. Thanks for the quick reply though!

Ah dang man. Sorry :/

If these cases turn out good (they will) and people enjoy the look of the case, like the time of the GB, and are overall happy with how it went I'll probably do another run very soon. Please stay tuned

I hope to have them done in a week or two, yes. The cases should arrive Wednesday and I'll have a sample before then by using the one case I have. Then we will order the paint and that shouldn't take too long.

I will keep an eye out for the next round. Definitely interested in a plain black case at a good price. To order one from CM and have it shipped to Canada costs almost as much as a new QFR.

Guys, what do you think - which case cover color would be better with this set of key caps?

Latte or Sahara beige?

Maybe the latte.

I did think the best pairing of these keys might be the red wood case that you can only buy on the keyboard co website.

It looked like a good shade of red.

birthdaymonkey · « **Reply #123 on:** Mon, 22 April 2013, 19:49:36 »

I think the black looks good.

What you really need of course is C64 beige.

phinix · « **Reply #124 on:** Tue, 23 April 2013, 02:46:28 »

I think latte is closest to Commodore beige color. I was checking ivory but may not have that finish like latte...

Gupgup · « **Reply #125 on:** Tue, 23 April 2013, 20:24:17 »

Alrighty I'm waiting on a reply from CM about the tracking for cases.. They should be here definitely before friday though. and that next monday we do a sample paint with one case!

Thanks for your patience everyone.

Holy smokes, you're right! Well spotted!

I noticed that Commodore 64 was darker than Commodore 128 or Amiga covers.
Those would be more like that latte or maybe this Elm color.

Gupgup · « **Reply #128 on:** Fri, 26 April 2013, 15:51:45 »

YAY!!!! Everyone get excited! I'm going to have one sanded/painted Monday to get a sample, then we will move from there!

Gupgup

realex · « **Reply #129 on:** Fri, 26 April 2013, 16:25:27 »

definitely excited

i also went through the available colors and manila light, at least judging by on screen pics, is indeed the closest match.

keeganzero · « **Reply #130 on:** Fri, 26 April 2013, 16:29:21 »

VesperSAINT · « **Reply #131 on:** Fri, 26 April 2013, 16:33:28 »

May be a large chance I'll be ordering a top case in the near future.

phinix · « **Reply #132 on:** Fri, 26 April 2013, 18:56:34 »

Is it too late to suggest third color?
Maybe lot of people would like to have their case painted in manila light?
Anyone? Retro look for the win!

Yup, information is correct. Except it's "keeganzero" not "keeganhenry", but same difference.

Also, ETA on when I'll get my refund for the shipping costs?

Thanks again Gupgup

berserkfan · « **Reply #139 on:** Mon, 29 April 2013, 04:43:58 »

I'm too late to get in on this, but can I just ask how this is normally done?

You get a casing, you rub it down with sandpaper, you get some paint and apply and that's all?

(I'm thinking of doing my own painting. Am mainly worried that with my poor (actually, lack of) skills, I can't do a lasting or attractive job the way a professional painter can.

phinix · « **Reply #140 on:** Mon, 29 April 2013, 05:46:20 »

I apologize for the delay, I've been so busy with my own personal things and CCnG.

I'll also have a sample case done by the end of the day tomorrow
