Dibs on:
Retro-105: 1 alpha, 1 tklplum, 1 space625, 1 space625dsa, 1 mod125, 127 total keycaps

Take my money please.

it would be very helpful to have the prices of the unpaid kits as well.
Btw, are these only the DT unpaid orders, or mixed DT and GH?

Updates:

Today is your last chance to get a payment in with assurance that your order will be safe.

Tomorrow we will be announcing the unpaid items available for others to take.

Thursday we plan to submit the final order to SP.

seems like I missed it!

I would be really interested in the following leftovers:
1 alpha, 1 tklplum, 1 space625dsa

sorry if this is not the right place to post this - this is a first for me.

As you can see, not everyone who ordered has paid. With the exception of some money on its way to the US, we have gotten an incredible response.

But there are a few items we need to collect on or find new buyers for.

If you haven't paid an invoice, pay it now or you will be in line with everyone else!

So here is what is available for ordering for the next 24 hours:

23 alpha kits
35 tkl kits <<<--- We especially need to find homes for these!
42 tklplum kits
18 numpad kits
3 iso kits
3 mod100 kits
8 mod125 kits

39 space625 spacebars
1 space600 spacebars
7 space600dsa spacebars
10 space625dsa spacebars
23 space700dsa spacebars

17 blk175 keycaps
9 blk200 keycaps
3 blk200p keycaps

Prices and kit details are still here:

TO BUY THE EXTRAS:

Send me, samwisekoi, a PM here with a list of what you want to buy. PayPal invoices will go out in timestamp order. Your additional order will not be final until PayPal shows the payment as completed.

If you have already placed an order, I won't add shipping costs AT THIS TIME. (If it won't fit in the original box, I will contact you when the time comes.)

Ok? Go!

TL; DR: Send a PM to samwisekoi if you want to pay for any of the extras TODAY. First paid, first served.

OK, I think I like this 24-hour mad dash of orders. Started getting PM requests within minutes of the OP, worked through those. A pause. Another flood and more invoicing. Drive home.

To find another 10 messages in my PM in-box. Whew!

Anyone who sent/sends me a message after 4:59PM PST today will get a reply in the morning. Your order will be taken in order of timestamp as promised.

Thanks to one and all!

p.s. Please show the regular TKL set some love!

p.p.s. Please provide your PayPay e-mail and your ship-to location so I can calculate postage and send the invoice!

I hope you had plenty of people to pick up some slack on the orders

Are these caps ABS or PBT? I must've missed the details somewhere as I jumped on board this thing pretty fast. I don't really mind either way, just happy to test out some lower-profile caps.

ABS double shot.

You can't dye sub white legends and so far there's no way to 2-shot PBT

The group buy, and the prices will be fine.

Actually, SP has begun experimenting with DS PBT caps.

i3oilermaker is selling some on his webshop (techkeys.us)

they are just tests. you can't have a full keyboard yet.

Order placed with SP for $31,860.05.

All final PayPal invoices sent out; many were paid immediately. (Thanks!)

Now we wait for plastic and fabrication.

Thanks to everyone for helping this be a fast, furious and successful group buy!

p.s. I read and worked through everyone's messages. If you didn't get a personal reply, that only meant I understood and had what I needed.

Money sent.

Where are my key caps?

Did you already ship?

What sort of ballpark turn around time are we looking at for an order like this? Does SP provide a schedule/estimate?

next week I'll know better

oh wait a minute.....

Ron took a shot at DSA Retro color chips.



look at them!

this is gonna be the best set evar!

Whoops! *note to self: change pants*

Those colours look very good together.

matt3o,

is there any chance of a language-add-on-kit for this set?

yes, that door is not closed yet

this set is begging for a custom retro case

matt3o wrote:next week I'll know better

So … do you know better now?

I'm not impatient, I just would like to know around when to expect the keys to be produced.

Hmm. No, that wasn't true, I am impationt. Sphericals!!!

I can't give you a firm date, you know production time is something out of my control. Hopefully this time next month we will have our keys ready (that doesn't mean shipped to your doorstep).
