[GB] "Hack'd by Geeks" Keyset - Full Contour SA (Shipping Corrections)

[mp101]

I've odered a set too, (noob)

[strict]

How many more sets are needed? I've really been debating picking up a set but I'm hesitant to drop $120 on MX gear when I've literally barely touched my MX boards since getting the RealForce. I don't mind picking up a set though if it will help push us closer to MOQ.

I think we're right around the number we need to break even at that price, so you don't have to order, if you aren't using MX. But every order helps, too.

Joined at the last moment, hopefully it doesn't take any longer than 4 or 5 months as I'll be living elsewhere haha.

I think you could still update your new address. I'm not sure about it but ask JD.

Yes, you can update your shipping address at any time before the sets ship.

Perfect, thanks very much!

I'm in for a set. Better late than never. This is getting to be an expensive month.

If being a great guy is a problem, then yes, you have a problem.

Nah I'm just a keyboard nut.

Typically 6-8 weeks for production.

it's random and often depends on what other group buys they have going on.
in my experience you will be waiting around 2 - 3 months but it could be longer if something special like the recent Granite R2 gb happens.

Thanks for the fast replies

I've placed my order, this set goes too well with the board I have in transit: it has orange backlighting.

It is very unlikely that you will see any backlighting through the tops or sides of the keys - SA keycaps are very thick.

The best you'll get is a bit of underglow.

Underglow is the best kind of glow!

[brimborion]

I love the amber and dark grey, reminds me of my dumb terms.  I should check to see if my Link MC5 has a mechanical keyboard. Probably not. But maybe I can get a Wyse keyboard for it with Cherry.

I wish there was a button on my modern monitor to make it look like an amber monochrome; the screens always look edible.

(EDIT: Interesting, it looks like it has Cherry blacks of some kind. I could use these on my terminal keyboard. Neat.)

Damn I can already imagine the underglow on it ... It looks beautiful in my head!

But the novatouch has no LEDs.

Yeah I know but I was just imagining someone with a orange backlighted keyboard having it.

Hmmm...

My black LZ-GH has orange backlighting...

As the ambassador of this sale, you must show a picture with it once you'll get your set!

One set will most likely stay on there permanently.

I trust you with that. I almost have some regret not buying several sets but I don't know what to expect as I have never tried SA caps. Additionally I don't have the money for them as well haha.

[Elrick]

You always buy the sets then buy the keyboards later on.  Still prefer to leave the key-sets on keyboards and buy new keyboards to fill out, with NEW key-cap purchases.

This is GEEKHACK don't waste time trying to restrain yourself from spending, it will not help your sanity to resist this awesome key-set, designed by you  .

Ordered.  Guess I better build my JD40.

What does the "full contour" mean? I tried searching in the thread but since those words are in the title literally every reply matched my search. I'm familiar with what SA profile is, but does full contour mean there is something unique about this set?

[boka]

I'm in! I've been lurking on geekhack for a few weeks trying to decide what keyboard to buy for my first mechanical. I really like the design of this set, so now I need to find and order a keyboard before they arrive...

Any suggestions for a TKL with clear switches? I'm leaning towards the wasd code even though I don't need the LEDs or the KUL once the clears are back in stock. Was also thinking about stealth or blank keycaps, but now that I'll have this set it doesn't really matter...

There are different row profiles, unlike most previous SA buys were everything was row 3. The only other "full contour" set I can think of off the top of my head is Pulse, and of course the upcoming RetroBlight. Full Contour is all the rage!

With the only real issue being the row 3 left shift instead of row 4

Too Right .

If you haven't used or typed on a Full-Contoured Set before in your life then be prepared to be blown out of your chair.

It's the ONLY profile that is so distinctive and so retro in style yet it allows ultimate comfort when typing.  When I first bought my sets of Camouflage then Pulse I knew this will be the ONLY Signature Plastics profile to buy from now on.
All of their other profiles are so under-developed compared to the meaty goodness of these babies, if these were little parcels of cakes instead of plastic people would jump on these like hardcore sugar addicts  .

That's what full contoured means:

Full countour SA:



The angle of the prop holding the keys is way too much (you should have your board close to flat in most cases for best ergonomics), but you can see the angles of the keycap tops at least.

[BunnyLake]

5 hours left guys, thanks for making this a success

here is what will happen from here

tonight or tomorrow morning, i will go over any paypal invoices, anything that has been paid ill mark off as paid on the site, anything unpaid ill send a reminder

once we have made the order, either at the time or shortly after, SP will give us a preliminary production slot, and i will post that here

[Moralless]

Just thought I'd have another bump of the giveaway I'm having over here: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=68726.0 don't want anyone who bought this keyset to be missing out!

[jdcarpe]

Be sure to get your last minute orders in now, folks. This buy is about to be history!

Even if you can't pay until later tonight, place your order NOW so you don't miss it. You can always make payment arrangements with Bunny to pay via Paypal by end of day.

AND if you only us a JD40 exclusively  then buy 2 sets and another JD40 because you always need a backup keyboard.

I haven't considered the JD45 I'll get one of those when all the bugs are worked out......

The angle of the prop holding the keys is way too much (you should have your board close to flat in most cases for best ergonomics), but you can see the angles of the keycap tops at least.

According with research on the subject the best ergonomics in a flat single unit keyboard is when it has a negative angle. Tilted backwards, instead of the common practice to tilt it forward.

Doesn't apply to everyone and every setup though.  Ergonomics is a very personal subject, more so than switch preference.  There are some general guide lines though.  I don't believe this to be one of them.
