Matias Stabilizer Sets

This is a Group Buy for Sets of Stabilizers produced by Matias. This is intended to be an Add-on afterthought to the Alps Party 60% GB. I didn't remember we would need these, and no one reminded me until the main deal was underway. So if you want stabs, let's get some.

This is going to be super quick. The ordering phase will close on October 10th. It needs to be this quick so I can get the timing right with the Alps Party, making only a single order of tons of things from Matias. Nothing fancy. No giveaways, no photoshops, only stabs.

So what you are ordering is this:

From the description from Matias, this contains:

Stabilizers:
(Note: Stabilizers are also called Balance Bars)

1 pc for 1 x 7 Alps keycap
1 pc for 1 x 6.25 Alps keycap
1 pc for 1 x 2.75 Alps keycap
6 pcs for 1 x 2 or 1 x 2.25 Alps keycap

Top Hooks:
(These are the parts that connect to the underside of the keycap. You need 2 top hooks per keycap.)

Minimum 14 pcs (usually around 18 pcs) Alps style (grey)
Minimum 4 pcs (usually around 5 pcs) Cherry style (white)

Bottom Hooks:
(These are the parts that connect to the steel plate of the keyboard. You need 2 bottom hooks per keycap.)

Minimum 14 pcs (usually around 18 pcs) Alps style (grey)
Minimum 4 pcs (usually no more than 4 pcs) Cherry style (white)

This set is enough to fill out one board with a Dell or AEK style plate. Infinity and HHKB plates use the 6u spacebar, so that part will not be compatible without modification.


The cost:
The guys at Matias have given us a pretty good bulk deal.

Bulk Pricing MOQ (all pricing in U.S. Dollars):
1 pc to 4 pcs - $9.95 each
5 pcs to 9 pcs - $9.50 each
10 pcs to 14 pcs - $9.25 each
15 pcs to 19 pcs - $9.00 each
20 pcs to 29 pcs - $8.50 each
30 pcs to 39 pcs - $8.00 each
40 pcs to 49 pcs - $7.50 each
50 pcs or more - $7.00 each

The price to ship to me from the Matias HQ will be $30-$40 for a 50 unit set, and that price will be spread out among the participants. So if we order 50 units total, each set will cost the participant ~$7.70 if we average it out.

Is 50 units manageable? Hell yes. We hit 50 just doing the IC on geekhack, and the GB available to the members of Deskthority and /r/mk as well.
