[Giveaway-DONE] MX Magnets!
« on: Sat, 01 February 2014, 18:00:54 »
Hello, and welcome to the first ever giveaway/donation drive by D-Squad, sponsored some of the Vendors of GeekHack!

I would like to thank these vendors very much for their financial support, and you should definitely go check out their stuff :thumb:


Mimic-Cables
Ctrl Alt Store
TechKeys
KeyPop.net


Noko's Leatherworks

David (Ragnorock)


I will be giving away packs of MX Magnets which are a fun little thing you can use to stick keycaps to metal surfaces. These are all made by me of an MY stem, a magnet, and some epoxy. By my calculations these things are capable of holding 300g+ of keycap, which is more than enough for even the Gold BroBot (heaviest cap I have on hand).

Onto the giveaway part, this is how it's going to work, I plan on making ~200 of these and giving out probably 150 or so in packs of 5. There are 2 ways to get a pack, the first way to get guaranteed a pack is to donate a minimum of $5 to geekhack, I'm limiting this to the first 20 people who do it, so it's very much first come, first serve (limit one pack per person/donation). The second way to get a pack is to just simply post below and I'll randomly draw a few winners with the magnets left over after the donation giveaway. I'll let this run for around a week or so before pulling some winners.

That's about all I got for now, once again I'd very much like to thank the vendors who, with their support, are making this project possible for myself and everyone who receives a pack of these.

It's a good width!  If it's half-width it's too narrow, and full-width is too wide.

Lies. Friday is the date. I got busy with homework and stuff last night so I couldn't make the next batch of 100.

Should be able to get them done tomorrow night.

Also here's a lil bonus video.
