Sorry, forgot to write "tracking number" in that post 

[die444die]

Mine is out for delivery today!

[uns211]

Mine will also get delivered today.  The second tracking number I got must be a mistake.

[agbockus]

Just got mine! I'm in the process of putting them on...but none of my stabilizer inserts are fitting...is this normal? My other boards use cherry stabilizers, so I don't have a lot of experience with these.

Any help is appreciated! I'll take pictures as soon as I'm done, I promise! 

[Data]

Received mine.  Haven't even had time to look at them yet.
 

[jackalope]

Mine was delivered today, to my ex fiances house, may be a few days till i get it,lol.

[cjhard]

I don't know what "Delivered, In/At Mailbox" means, but I hope it means they left it at my apartment managers office somehow, even though they're closed until Friday..

[Synjin]

I just got mine delivered

[am3amzar]

anyone have received pulse?

i will like to see some pics!

[Dee1]

I just got mine today They look really great.

[Heliosphere]

Someone posted an album of his on reddit: www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/2qb457/pulse_sa_set_arrived_just_in_time_for_christmas/

Looks really sweet.

[am3amzar]

that really looks nice. cant wait to receive mine!

[renne]

received mine. it looks awesome!

[cjhard]

Here in Lexington, KY, "Delivered, In/At Mailbox" really means go get it your damn self at the post office.

Happily, I now have PuLSE installed on my Poker. Bit bummed about the backspace confusion on the Colepak, but I'll live with it. I've got a spare 2u row 3 backspace now, surely I can find some use for it.

The keytops are slick. As in very little texture. I kinda like it, it's much different from the DSA caps I have too many of now.

[Roibhilin]

i got mine today and they're awesome!! it's also just as easy to type without the home row bumps

[Data]

I have Pulse installed on my Varmilo board now.  They are EPIC.  Will get some pics as soon as I can get some decent light.

Now that people are getting this, I'm curious to know what people think about the BBQ color in person, if it was what people were expecting. Not trollin, I'm genuinely curious.

[kidimposter]

I think it's a little more teal then I'd like. It still looks pretty damn good though. Only problem I have now is that orings do not work on these. Anyone have suggestions for dampeners?

I wanted the more blue color that was originally proposed but am just fine with the BBQ since most of my stuff was made to match Miami.  It has enough contrast with the black.  Still not a fan of the full symmetric look and all one color F-row though, just too much teal.

[cjhard]

I think BBQ is pretty faithful to the shocking blue that was intended for this set. I used black for |, ~, and spacebar because I prefer the classical two-color scheme where printable characters are one color, non printing characters another. As such, on my 60%, the weight of BBQ isn't too much as I feel it would be if I went for a symmetrical smile-shape of BBQ.

I think it looks good, but the original mockups on PMK are definitely inaccurate. This post is probably the most accurate in terms of color: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=62554.msg1479705#msg1479705. I too was hoping for a more blue color as per the original mockups. But again, still looks nice, and I'm digging the SA profile on my dox.

Pretty much exactly what I expected.  The contrast is great in low light and you still get a slap of blue to the face every time you look at it.  My only complaint is that SP's legends are so inconsistent in the SA profile.  It's most noticeable on the modifier keys.  I haven't been able to unsee it since 7bit pointed it out on his Round 5 group buy.

Legends on the number row, F row, and alphas are just about perfect though.

Goddamnit, now I can't unsee it either.

Urgh.  Sorry doodz. 

[renne]

is here anyone would like to sell his/her "60% Stripe" kit? if so, plz send me a pm. thank you.

[Badwrench]

A couple quick pics on my QFR:





I will get some better pics once I have better light.  So far I am actually liking the feel of the SA profile and am very glad that the full contour was chosen.  I am not a fan of the flat profile in DSA, so this feels more natural to me. 

Took a few better pictures outside since it is nice and sunny today    (still not the best photos, but better than before.  My photog skills leave a lot to be desired).

Nice, the colours seem to go well with your case on the QFR!

I suggest modifying this post since there is a difference between buying and trading for an item. Notifying you so it doesn't mislead people causing them to message you only to be replied that you have nothing to trade and are only interested in buying sir.

As all good fanatics of the SA profile soon find out, nothing is done better out of SP's factory than this profile.

I got a big box delivered just now and it has that Blue and Black combo inside, I just realized how stupid I was for buying well over 16 space-bars, yet again  .  THis keyset looks great in a standard Black keyboard hence it can fill out the majority of them anywhere.

I know MiTo designed this and a lot of you hate his guts here on Geekhack now, but I'm not going to rake over his dead body to entertain anyone here, because he delivered what he promised and the colour-way is nice.  Thanks for doing it anyway MiTo, good luck on your new ventures elsewhere  .

Just received my keyset, mounted it onto a CM Novatouch.

Looks beautiful now!

It's hard to live with my own perfectionism sometimes, it just grates on me when I notice an issue that could have an impact and it doesn't get fixed. Anyway, I dealt with it by posting my own version of the mockup and voicing my concerns in the thread, so I'm okay with the result. Mine haven't arrived yet, but I'm fairly sure I won't be surprised by how they look and it's definitely a nice colour combination even though I'd prefer it to be a bit less green. And it's FULL CONTOUR SA PROFILE! (except for the shift keys)

I think it's a little more teal then I'd like. It still looks pretty damn good though. Only problem I have now is that orings do not work on these. Anyone have suggestions for dampeners?

SA profile caps don't have the crossbars and have differing depths, so you have to mix and match double or triple orings with different thicknesses to get them to have the same feeling between the rows. If you are able to open your switches you could do the trampoline mod with these little balls from IMSTO: http://imsto.cn/index.php?route=product/product&path=61&product_id=88

Consistent feeling no matter which keycaps you use, but it's a lot of work if you have to desolder the switches.

[am3amzar]

well, my pulse arrive, sadly i cant use it since the arrow part is just too tight on my filco kobo. have to let these pretty set go.

[Hazel]

Bit bummed about the backspace confusion on the Colepak

Is there any more information about this?  Is this SP's fault?  Will there be replacements?  (I'd settle for a blank if it comes to that...)

I returned home from holiday last night to find PuLSE waiting for me.  I eagerly mounted the caps on the nearest board... only to find that the Colepack backspace was the wrong size.  Much sad, very disappoint

C'mon JD, even you should know that mockups look a little different from the actual set.

Considering people did color accurate mockups and he bashed others for not having perfectly representative mockups in color or style, I think it's funny and ironic.

It would have looked so much better with the original blue. But we can't always get what we want, now can we? :)

[Data]

"Better" is subjective. I think it looks fantastic and it's real ****ing close to the mockup. The two blues are so similar you probably wouldn't have even notice had there not been an embarrassing stink made about it. Seriously, that was beyond ****ing ridiculous. OVER A SHADE OF BLUE.

Summary: Haters gonna hate.
