If you notice that a group buy that is still open for orders is missing from this list, please add it in your reply to this thread.  It will be reviewed and added to the list.  After your recommendation is added to the list, your post will be removed to keep this a brief one-page summary.

[infiniti]

'sounds good to me. We'll post a bump when the list is updated.


Note to others editing this list: please delete the old bump before posting the new bump to keep things orderly.

Updated!

NEW >> "KEYCOOL 22-Key Numeric Mechanical Keypad"
https://www.massdrop.com/buy/keycool-22-key-numeric-mechanical-keypad?mode=guest_open

So is massdrop now considered a forum vendor?? I would think that would better fit in the great finds section versus group buys.

What is great about a finding on MD? Only when there is something impossible to source elsewhere. Like the Infinity board, maybe.

Well, I just list it here so we don't miss keyboard-related drops.  It would be easier not to include it, but I have time.

Anyway, I've added a poll that closes in 7 days asking whether or not MD stuff should be on this list.  So, it's up to you guys and gals.

Poll results added here to clear the top of the page:

" Should this list include keyboard-related items from Massdrop? "

No, massdrop sucks, and tried to steal a gateron GB from one of the geekhack users. This is sad, and unforgivable.

This list is very useful, because it includes comprehensive GB information, and MD drops as well; removing any will reduce the list's value. In the other hand, to select the offers is at the discretion of each user, of course.

Agreed.

The purpose of this list is to make users aware of group buys from all different sources scattered across the forum and related sources on other websites. It came about after the segregation of SP group buys hosted through PMK, but I think the logic still applies to MD.

Yet another hidden gem on intelli78's blog Keychatter, he's got this really cool GB tracker. Might be a nice complement to this thread

http://www.keychatter.com/mechanical-keyboard-group-buy-tracker/

[ideus]

There are GB that are not taking orders anymore; because, they are in the fulfilling phase already. These links are not too useful for those looking for opportunities to get new things, that make most of the visitors to this thread; therefore, it would be good to remove them from the list, or place them into a category that informs that the GBs are not taking orders anymore. Having them along with the GB that are actively taking orders reduce the usefulness of this thread; people interested have to navigate to the reference just to find that the GB orders have been closed.

I don't think it's an issue. It's not a long list, and new stuff is shown by the tag. Maybe more tags for 'taking orders' or 'invoicing' or 'shipping'? I don't think it's an issue for them to still be in the list.

Exactly: is not an issue; but, it could be an useful future to have the GBs classified, or with the tag added, that sounds great as well.

Thanks for pointing that out. I've pruned the list of GBs that aren't taking orders.  Not sure if we'll add tags for invoicing and shipping since we want to keep this just for the GBs that are taking orders.  Should we add the ordering end dates though?

Keep it as simple as possible. You do more than enough by keeping this thread updated, already. Thank you very much.

End dates could be added at the time the link is registered in the list, and it will be required only once. But, of course, it is up to you. Again, we appreciate the hard work you are already doing in the benefit of the community.

Hi there infiniti and photoelectric and anyone else who updates this.

I use this program to update my Interest Check Tracker.

CPTBadAss suggested that you might find it useful. If you can't understand my hastily written documentation, just shoot me a PM.

[HoffmanMyster]

This thread is useless.  Delete it.  I've missed two group buys by wasting my time checking this.

You might want to consider setting the Group Buy subforum to "Notify", in order to be made aware of any and all group buy threads that are created. 

Or perhaps take all the time you've wasted reading this single thread and scan the subforum for new group buys instead.

[ideus]

This thread is useless.  Delete it.  I've missed two group buys by wasting my time checking this.

This is a compilation only, you should check the sub-forum to discover all GBs available, as soon as they become available. You cannot blame a fellow by providing a service, for your own laziness.

[infiniti]

https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/5dpdwh/buying_gb_for_kbd75_aluminum_75_keyboard_live/

As it turns out, this list is for group buys that started here on GH and those that started as an IC on GH and moved to Massdrop.

[ideus]

Theres a new gb for a GMK set I saw on reddit:

https://www.reddit.com/r/mechmarket/comments/5r6w3m/gb_gmk_coniferous_group_buy_is_now_open/

This thread tracks buys running by GH members, both, individuals and vendors, within the forum, only.

oh ok. didn't know that since I saw massdrop on the list as well (though that entry never changes).

It would be great to have one central place to check most GB related with keyboard stuff; but, that would be a monumental job for anyone to keep it up to date.

Buy is running to the end of month and every kit is going to be produced!

Pardon the delay but UPDATED!

Anyway, we're experimenting with a new section: OTHER OFF-SITE GROUP BUYS AND PRE-ORDERS.  This is for group buys and pre-orders that do not have a dedicated thread on GeekHack and do not come from a Vendor.  It's meant just to make the list more exhaustive to avoid the risk of missing out.

Let me know what you think.
