As you receive your packages please post a picture of what you got! If possible please try and block out any addresses on packaging.

And for your enjoyment, a picture of a cat on an AEK.

A box showed up today (or maybe yesterday? No one noticed until today anyways). I'll get some better pictures when my camera battery recharges - always fun to be fighting a dead battery.

Wow, more than I expected. It's actually quite nice to type on, especially coming from a while of using my Thinkpad's keyboard. Being in a smaller room than before the quietness of it is nice compared to the M I would normally use since the ping echos.

Now, we have to guess who shipped it.
:-)

I bet it is from matt3o.

He said he ships in 2 parts. There will be a 2nd package with some keys from his group buys and those he did himself!
:-)

No wait!
:o

It must be from 002, the Topre Enthusiast!!!
:cool:

Indeed, and I bet it's from 002! That's a really nice present!

I think I know who the seller is, but I won't spoil it. :) Really nice present. Should serve as a nice thank-you to Compgeke for organising the Secret Santa.

Shots fired :D.

Great gifts so far, feeling nervous about mine now...

Sorry to have to sit on the sidelines again. (I splurged on an HHKB and Cindy's got a NIB SSK for me, so I'm all spent.) But even from over here, I can tell who sent those two so far!

@Compgeke: be glad you're not in Britain. That Type Heaven may be a gift, but if it came from Japan, customs would still demand payment for it. We get a £36 ($56) limit here before they pounce on prezzies! And that includes the cost of shipping.

Not that I've just read up on all this because of something I have in the works. No sir!

At least a secret Santa gift is on the way to you! No need for you to ship one out!

Very true! I'm looking forward to a little prototyping, all right. However does Santa always know?

My secret santa gift came yesterday and I accidentally opened it, because I thought it was another package I am waiting for. This package came from Germany, I think.

Here is a photo of it:

Pleasant colour scheme. What do you think of the caps?

Posted: 18 Dec 2014, 14:31

From the looks they are really nice, although the grey is a bit too dark for my liking. They are nice doubleshots with no shine whatsoever. I can't tell anything about the feel of this keyboard, as I haven't used it yet. The layout seems to be quite nice, though, apart from the big ass-enter. I'll try to get some use of it the next few days.

Very cool. I love the little KPT-84 boards with their little Terminator red "eye" :)

I actually quite like those caps - look very close to Dolch caps.

My guess:
This came from Guk, because he is the only other German who sent his package already, except for me.

That was my thought, too.

All german Santas shipped their packages.

All Americans did too! D:

Yeah, but kbdfr probably only has Tipros. ;)
So only you or 7bit remain.

Be glad I wasn't in this. You'd have to wait forever. (7bit's HyperMicro is still a no show here, and may be until next week thanks to our slow post.) And I'd be too cheap to send a keyboard! Well, before seeing that others are now.

G80-2100 and a lot more come to mind.
