ESC PROTOTYPE

The Esc prototype turned out really well. A tad too small is all. cycloverid has made some adjustments so the final version should look even better than this.

BUY DESCRIPTION

This group buy has two components: a red Escape key and an RGBY modifier kit. You can buy one, or the other, or both. Both will have custom legends designed to match Cherry Corp. doubleshot sets like the one shown here.

These will be Cherry-MX-compatible keys sized to fit modern standard-layout keyboards like the Filco, the Leopold, the Poker, Das Keyboard, Ducky, Rosewill, etc. The red Escape key should end up looking a lot like the much-coveted vintage Cherry version:

The RGBY kit will include the standard modifiers: Control, Alt, Shift, and Super (aka the Windows key) in SP color codes RA, VCM, BDH, and YY, respectively. Control, Alt, and Shift will use cycloverid's moogle kit legends, while the Super key will have the diamond legend from the Round 1 doubleshot set.

[ Attachment Invalid Or Does Not Exist ] 31714[/ATTACH] [ Attachment Invalid Or Does Not Exist ] 31715[/ATTACH] [ Attachment Invalid Or Does Not Exist ] 31716[/ATTACH]

The RGBY kit is available in both ANSI and ISO variants. The left-hand Shift key on ANSI keyboards is 2.25x, while ISO keyboards have a shorter 1.25x left Shift. The ISO Shifts will just have the arrow legend, without the "Shift" text:

Each RGBY kit contains the following keys:
2 x 1.25x red Control[/COLOR]
2 x 1.25x blue Alt[/COLOR]
2 x 1.25x yellow Super[/COLOR]
1 x 2.75x green right Shift[/COLOR]
1 x green left Shift[/COLOR], either ISO (1.25x) or ANSI (2.25x)


SHIPPING

There are two shipping options: standard and priority.

Standard shipping means your keys will ship without a tracking number in a small bubble mailer. One mailer will fit two or three RGBY kits or an equivalent number of red Escapes.

Priority shipping means you get a tracking number and a small cardboard box. The boxes will fit quite a bit more than the mailers.

Standard shipping: $3 to US/Canada, $6 international
Priority shipping: $6 to US/Canada, $15 international

Special arrangements can be made for large orders. If you're local to the San Francisco Bay Area, we can probably work out an in-person pickup. I work in Emeryville, so if you have to take BART or cross the Bay to get to me, it's probably cheaper to go with standard shipping.

ORDERING

You can order by PMing me on geekhack or Deskthority (I'm also hashbaz there), posting in this thread, or emailing me at b a c o n b i t s 2 3 [at] g m a i l . c o m. You don't need a geekhack account to buy.

However you order, you must include your forum username (if applicable), country, desired keys and quantities, and desired shipping method. Also include your mailing address, either in your order message or a separate PM/email. I won't officially record your order until I have your mailing address.

To help disambiguate orders, please use the following codes:

REDESC
RGBY-ISO
RGBY-ANSI

You can also order extra left Shifts of either flavor:

SHIFT-ISO
SHIFT-ANSI

Example order:
hashbaz
2x REDESC
2x RGBY-ANSI
USA
standard shipping


PAYMENT

Once the order-taking phase is over (cutoff is 25 November), I will start pestering everyone to pay up. Once all payments have been submitted to me via Paypal, I will place the order with SP. My Paypal email is b a c o n b i t s 2 3 [at] g m a i l . c o m.

Paypal fees are baked into the key prices, so there's no need to send your payment as a gift or to add n%.
