A guy over no r/mk posted a photo his newly arrived caps - the tray had come open and caps were everywhere

and they're ALL SCRATCHED 

If this **** happens to me Massdrop is going to get their necks wrung over the phone

If they come like that I will never buy anything from Massdrop ever again

Here is the photo taken from reddit - I've asked him to take some photos of the damage and will post here when he gets back to me

Got my Originative RGBY/CMY caps from Massdrop and the bubble envelope was open. Thank goodness no caps were missing, but two yellow caps are scuffed.

Wait do you mean the ones that finished like 2 weeks ago?

Most likely s/he does.  Mine were in the mailbox this afternoon when I got home!

That's kinda ouch

I usually photograph packages before and during opening, but so far maybe I've been lucky and everything (including keyboards) has arrived safely.

[romevi]

Yeah, the ones from last month. I was confused when I got the envelope!

I am man.

I'm starting to wonder if shipping in trays is even a good idea at all

All of my keycaps that have come in ziplock bags have been 100% fine as they are pretty rigid and can't really move at all

They increase shipping costs, if it gets bent too far in the middle the space bar could crack.  The above could happen.  Doesn't fit with my keycap storage arrangements.

All in all I'd prefer a ziplock back or similar, or even a small plastic box like Tai Hao keycaps sometimes come in.

Another quick snap, out of my phone. On my MBP monitor this shows pretty accurate colors.

What goes into getting GMK to do custom colours for you?

[Wulkes]

Hello! Here's my set. The keys shifted in the tray but they weren't scratched.

So I'm assuming my Asus Proart should be showing close to true colors for it as well, then. Looks good, Intelli can't wait til I get mine on Thursday.

Eastern Market?

[intelli78]

Eastern Market?

Not that far east, closer to Federal Center SW/Waterfront

Erm, I read that as SE for some reason. Probably because SW is so small, haha.

Stadium area. I like it there, did a lot of work with the Nats earlier this year, got to know it well. Cool area!

[rowdy]

Did I miss something, are my eyes failing, or are the alphas a darker colour than the modifiers?

[Puddsy]

nah i don't think you're nuts rowdy

it looks like that in the pics, i'll tell you more when i get my set tomorrow

[bueller]

They are. I was in the minority but I always said we should have matched the alphas legends to the mods.

[trizkut]

nah i don't think you're nuts rowdy

It was decided in the IC phase that the alpha legends were going to be blue and not teal

[rowdy]

Thanks guys

The underneath shots make it pretty obvious, but in the top shots it's not as exaggerated.  Could be a good thing

[RickyJ]

Did I miss something, are my eyes failing, or are the alphas a darker colour than the modifiers?

IIRC, the reasoning was that the mods faded more than the alpha legends did, but they started out as the same colour when new.

[RickyJ]

Can't wait to get my set!  I'll actually start using my Poker again, unless a GH60 happens to show up to build!

That I do understand

But to authentically replicate that would require a lighter colour for the top of the keycaps and a darker colour underneath, which would be nearly impossible for GMK to do, and pretty pointless anyway, apart from sating the desires of a few purists.

[intelli78]

Yes the alphas are much bluer, and that was on purpose, because that's how all the old pics show them. It's true of my authentic set as well. It's a great contrast with the mods - glad we did it this way

Could you share the details of a reseller who bought multiple sets? i would like to preorder/buy a set via one of them
