Sweet! Can you do a 35 pack?

[SpAmRaY]

Are these exactly the same as the last round or have any improvements been made? Who is going to handle shipping?

[kinruan]

Are these exactly the same as the last round or have any improvements been made? Who is going to handle shipping?

looking for a new distributor due to some problems last time.
no major modification.
according to the manufacturer, some covers may let stem jammed, and many have defects on snaps, now they are fixed.
i didn't test them, so i can't make a promise, i do accept returns btw due to quality problems

Sweet! Can you do a 35 pack?

no problem

[JayKthnx]

Ordered 360 covers. Wooo

[jufa]

[dorkvader]

[Zeal]

Caved in for 110...didn't even use my white covers from the last GB yet!  now I'll have to see which one I prefer on my sprit board

[JaccoW]

Ordered! But I just realized I ordered one 87-pack... and 7 add-ons. Whoops.

Will shipping be around $10 for international shipping ? I need to set some funds aside.

[kinruan]

Were these the ones which some people claimed were tight around the stems and had tendencies to jam?

[kinruan]

Were these the ones which some people claimed were tight around the stems and had tendencies to jam?

i believe they are fixed, but i didn't test, i personally don't have any trouble using those from the first GB

[infiniti]

Were these the ones which some people claimed were tight around the stems and had tendencies to jam?

i believe they are fixed, but i didn't test, i personally don't have any trouble using those from the first GB

I have clear switch top covers on my Shine 2 with browns that I use daily and have not experienced any jamming.

What I have observed is that they are more brittle than stock switch top covers so you need to be careful when removing them from switches.

[SpAmRaY]

I'm willing to try these again. Ordered.

[Dreamre]

I'm willing to try these again. Ordered.

Did you have issues with the first batch?

[nubbinator]

I'm willing to try these again. Ordered.

Did you have issues with the first batch?

I had no fitment issues if you're worried about it.  The only issue I had is that the plastic they use is a little on the brittle side, so I know I can't remove the top too many times.

[skcheng]

Ordered.  Looking forward to getting these. 

[asdfjkl36]

Wasn't able to get some last round.

Just put in my order 

[Chemoletter]

a question: What are these for since they disappear underneath the keycap? I mean, can you see them without taking the caps off or is there an actual function to these? I'm not hating, just curiou cause noob.

[CK Briefs]

a question: What are these for since they disappear underneath the keycap? I mean, can you see them without taking the caps off or is there an actual function to these? I'm not hating, just curiou cause noob.

Well, to answer your question, I'd get the transparent covers if I had the money cause they reveal the stickers I have on my switches, and also augment the brightness of the LEDs.

Also, aesthetics

[tbc]

there are low profile cases that actually show the key switch top.

[Puddsy]

Ordered. Gonna do some switch silliness on my camo.

All I need for it now is a new cable. Suggestions?

[Latin00032]

I put an order in. I don't know if you will accept it.

Hopefully, you will.

Thanks.

[taylordcraig]

Awaiting my invoice.

[ninjadoc]

Have all invoices gone out? Asking because my provider has blocked one or two in the past.

[SpAmRaY]

I don't think any invoices have went out.

I should hope not

at least he hasn't taken any money yet (afaik)

I'm still bitter about takaki

[skcheng]

Has anyone started receiving invoices for these?   I'm holding up my build waiting .....

[Zeal]

Nope, but he was online yesterday.

[Shinryuu]

Damn these are sexy. Is it still possible to join the party?

[Puddsy]

Damn these are sexy. Is it still possible to join the party?

Yes, but the organizer seems a little shady...

[Zeal]

Damn these are sexy. Is it still possible to join the party?

Yes, but the organizer seems a little shady...

I personally bought from him last time. He seems like a busy guy, but did send me my switch covers.

[asdfjkl36]

Yea. Nothing really shady, just busy it seems.

[Photoelectric]

i believe they are fixed, but i didn't test, i personally don't have any trouble using those from the first GB

I have clear switch top covers on my Shine 2 with browns that I use daily and have not experienced any jamming.

What I have observed is that they are more brittle than stock switch top covers so you need to be careful when removing them from switches.

Was just talking to someone about these covers, so I've checked this thread and saw these posts.  It was not jamming that was the issue: it was the tighter space inside the covers, so they added to friction against normal stems. I could clearly tell which of my smoothed out MX Blacks had clear tops on and which didn't.  When I tried Jailhouse Blues with them, those stems would actually get lightly stuck in the clear covers, as they are larger than normal due to o-rings sticking out a tiny bit between the white and blue parts.  JBs had no problems with stock black covers, but not working with Clear covers.  That's what I meant when I asked in the earlier IC thread about making molds closer to the original--or maybe the molds were right but clear plastic shrunk a bit when cooling.

If that's been fixed now and the tops have the same internal clearance as the original black tops--great.

[taylordcraig]

Just got my invoiice, will pay sunday.

[SpAmRaY]

So on top of this invoice there will be another invoice for shipping?

[jufa]

got my invoice, and paid. thx

[elton5354]

Who is shipping these?

[SpAmRaY]

Who is shipping these?

And how much more is shipping going to cost?

[Lastpilot]

Not sure if orders are still open, but I was able to submit an order just now.

[Zeal]

Who is shipping these?

And how much more is shipping going to cost?

Last time he shipped a pack of 100 covers to me in a small flat rate box, the second invoice was $16 for Canada. Guessing $6ish for CONUS?

[Puddsy]

I'm not getting the best vibe from this GB. I'd like to cancel my order, even if I hate myself for it later.

I think just because he was busy for a bit and didnt reply.

Oh well. He's missing out.

[SpAmRaY]

I'm not getting the best vibe from this GB. I'd like to cancel my order, even if I hate myself for it later.

GLWGB

Why?

Am I missing something?

The problem I see right now is there is not a distributor.

[tbc]

ya....that's kinda a big deal :/  i'm going to hold onto my invoice until we get a confirmation on that.

EDIT:

sorry for being a jerk about this and delaying the money, but I really need to know if this GB is going to be held in limbo forever because of no distributor before committing money.  It's not a big deal if it takes awhile, but I really do need an official 'yes it will take awhile because...' type of response at least.

[Latin00032]

Good point.

Maybe we will get Ann answer soon on the distributed.

[kinruan]

Who is shipping these?

And how much more is shipping going to cost?

i do the dirty job myself. shipping cost will calc soon, US sets are shipped from US, rest(europe/ korea) orders will be shipped from china

[kinruan]

and this time i think i have better paper box for shipping too,

[kinruan]

i was so busy.. i am a little sick today.  i was moving my working office to a new apartment. i got some research paper, and i am doing some soldering dirty work right now

Thanks for this! 

[00zeRO]

Why would someone want these? Just curious. Educate me, please...

[Binge]

Why would someone want these? Just curious. Educate me, please...

Two reasons, you can see the switch sticker, and LED light disperses through the cap top.

[SpAmRaY]

Why would someone want these? Just curious. Educate me, please...

it's all about looks 

[JayKthnx]

I'm assuming the invoices are issuing in waves? I still have not received one.

[tbc]

i got a few from techkeys and it was really cool seeing how a blue switch actually works.

[00zeRO]

Why would someone want these? Just curious. Educate me, please...

it's all about looks 

Looks for something that cannot be seen since its covered by a keycap...hmmm.

[JayKthnx]

you can see them if your keyboard has exposed switch tops i.e. k70, monoprice's deck, etc.

[SpAmRaY]

Why would someone want these? Just curious. Educate me, please...

It all depends on how often you swap those key caps

Don't worry about it taking some extra time. I'm still waiting for a large number of parts for the board that I want to use this on. Most importantly the pcb and case. XD

[kinruan]

i am currently shipping and sending invoices at the same time, many of u would probably receive covers before i send u the shipping invoice -_-!

[Latin00032]

Did you send mine, yet?

Sometimes I think I may have deleted an invoice from my inbox.

I've accidentally deleted important stuff before.

[Wildcard]

You might be better off calculating shipping in advance and invoicing all at once. Seems a bit back-asswards to ship something then ask for shipping afterwards. Just my .02

[Latin00032]

I got my clears. I got one red one in the mix.

Was that for fun?

[HendyZone]

Did you already send my order kinruan ?

Thanks

[Latin00032]

I already got the clear covers.

This.

I'd like to buy a transparent 87-pack if there's extras.

At the bottom of the post, the total count of orders were 4400 transparent covers, so he had to order a couple thousand more. Kinruan might have some extra transparent covers left. I know that he has lots of left over red, and possibly white switch covers.

[HPE1000]

Yeah, I might be down for an 87(100) pack of transparent if you have some left over. 

[SpAmRaY]

Love all the people asking about leftovers....a lot of us who paid haven't even gotten these yet.

[keymaster]

Love all the people asking about leftovers....a lot of us who paid haven't even gotten these yet.

I'm not in a hurry or want to get them before those who already ordered. I'm just expressing my interest in case there are leftovers.
