Really sucks about this situation, but I'm sure everyone here is thankful for what you're trying to do Matt3o

Hopefully all goes well and this IC will soon become a GB that's either run by you, massdrop or anyone trustable.

Thanks for all of your work in this Matt3o. We all appreciate it, and hopefully something can be made of this! Massdrop seems like a good route to go, as it will reach a far bigger audience then we can manage. I am hopeful that we can find a cheaper manufacturer.

it's much appreciated how you've kept at it all these weeks, despite all the hiccups.
cheers matt3o!

Its the act of trying to get the impossible, possible. I dont think anyone else has come this far for a massive spacebar groupbuy.

Matt3o, thank you for all your efforts

Thanks for putting so much work into this man. Not too many people would keep on looking when dealing with these kinds of odds.

Submitted the intent form (2 x black + 1 of the winning colors). Hope this is a go -- the monochromatic Realforce could use a splash of color!

definitely have to replace this ABS on my new HHKB! Hope it works out

Just check the status

Matt3o · « **Reply #309 on:** Mon, 26 January 2015, 01:32:39 »

Quick update.

We are at 56%

Top three colors

Medium gray => 57
Sky Blue/Light Blue => 57
Red => 55

I'm still waiting for a "go" or "no-go" from the new manufacturer.

Thanks Mateo for all that you do.

Is it possible to change my intent form color vote? I didn't see the light gray option and I'd switce my vote in with that lot if possible.

If I picked the 3 color option will I have the option to chose to sub one of the colors for a white one? I like the idea of having color options but I also want to have a white one for sure.

that depends on pricing from the new manufacturer. Still waiting for a reply, hope to get one next week.

Ok,
Although my (first) HHKB PD-KB400B is still in the mail,
I just filled out the Topre PBT Spacebar "Purchase Intent" Form at:

http://goo.gl/forms/UQFSVWm3sL

So indeed, if even a newbie like me wants two, shouldn't more people?

nukec · « **Reply #332 on:** Sun, 08 February 2015, 09:31:02 »

We should repost this on reddit here and there + desktority and some chinese, japanese forums if someone knows any?

Just filled out the interest form, I'm definitely down for a red and a grey PBT spacebar! I put brown as the third color because ¯\(°_o)/¯

Hope this goes through!

Now I just need an actual Topre keyboard...Poker 2, where are you? I must review you then trade for a Realforce 87u or HHKB!

Such boring colors. If one of the front runners was white, we could at least dye it to something interesting.

That's why I was hoping if I selected 3 colors I could choose like two of the winners and use the other for the white one, I really wanted a white but also wanted color but couldn't justify 4 of them

It says in the OP: "The spacebar will be produced in 5 colors."

So those 3 colored spacebars will be made alongside black and white ones

The new manufacturer confirmed feasibility and gave us an estimate. MOQ is lower but we are still debating on the final cost.

okay, I'm mildly optimistic at this point.

I'll keep you posted, I hope to be able to start the GB in a couple of weeks
