The Granite aftermarket thread

[Muirium]

anyone have 2.75 and a 2.25 blank set for teh space bar?

Is that for a custom keyboard? 2.75 and 2.25u spacebars are unusual to say the least! But Matteo did some pretty extraordinary things with Bianca, of course:

You might want to do what he did and stay under 2.0 units. Bianca is designed to need no stabs at all.

...hmm, those colors:



I miss the kit with red arrow keys, I forgot to order.

Is it just me, or are those blue spacebars a little bit smaller than the greys?

[SL89]

The blues look like 6.25 or something and the greys like 7ish. Either that or the angle of the picture or lens, cause the spacebar on the printout has a slight curve to it.

[Muirium]

There's definitely barrel distortion going on, but even so, those spacebars look iffy. Perhaps the greys are 7 units, it's hard to tell with the wide angle, just looks less than .75 units difference to my eye. Maybe the blues are 6.0u?

[usopia]

...you're right Mµ, the blue ones are 6.0 and the greys 6.25 but the stems in the blues are weird positioned.

[Muirium]

Weird as in "don't work"? I assume they're from one of the later (Massdrop instead of PMK) GBs.

[usopia]

yes, they came from the same MD GB like the Gamer Kit. I thought they fit on G80-1800 but no chance.
Didn't find out what board they fit.

* ha ha, that reminds me that this was totally weird GB delivery anyway. Look what MD's great "fulfillment center" has declared on the package (4 Spacebars and 1 Gamer Set):

Luckily I was able to explain the customs guy, what they did wrong and prove the correct prices. There were 5.98 for 2 Space bars and 17.99 (29.99 - 12) for the gamer set. Idiots...

Btw, im selling a kit of german DSA Granite keys. Complete, new, and Version 2 (red legends instead of blue).

Anybody in EU willing to part with one 7u grey granite spacebar? usopia?

I want to finish my HHKB-like layout, and I forgot to get that one.

[iAmAhab]

I might have a spare, I'll check when I get home.

[flabbergast]

I might have a spare, I'll check when I get home.

Thanks!

I hope iAmAhab has a 7.0 for you. I have, unfortunately, only one of them, planned for my G-80-1000.

[iAmAhab]

Unfortunately I had a spare 6.25 not a 7.

PM'd, thanks!

Ah well. Thanks for checking it for me!

EDIT: Trade was concluded. Thanks zslane.

Greetings,

I'm willing to trade a set of Icon Modifiers for a set of Text Modifiers (no selling either way).

Could someone kindly summarize the differences between the kits available in the original Granite GB and those made available in the MassDrop GB?

[Muirium]

The original:

The others were on Massdrop, so I've no idea how to dig out the URLs.

MD's is here : https://www.massdrop.com/buy/granite-keycap-set - requires login.

[Muirium]

They ran it a few times, mind. Always the same pricing and kits? (I've no idea. I was only in the original PMK run. My stuff from later rounds all came via trades.)

[zslane]

I've compared the PMK and MD graphics and put together a list of the differences. Might put it into a spreadsheet or something. The most obvious differences are the kits offered in one GB but not the other. But even in kits with the same exact name, there are sometimes differences of one or two caps.

[Muirium]

That's Matteo for you. He kept working on Granite after the first run. I'm still after one of those sweet ☆ (1.25u star mod) caps from the later versions, by the way.

[zslane]

Yeah, that star appears to only be in the MD Icon Modifiers kit...on the other hand, those 1.25u chevron control keys only appeared in the original Apple kit from what I can tell, so I think you're still ahead of the game.

[cflee]

I have PM'ed Elk above, but just in case there's anyone else:

I have Text Mods and Text Mods Pro, and I'm looking to trade for Icon Mods and Icon Mods Pro.

(Doing this because the incoming SA Retro has text mods, so I'd like to have icons for my Granite set.)

[usopia]

...on the other hand, those 1.25u chevron control keys only appeared in the original Apple kit from what I can tell, so I think you're still ahead of the game.

...yes, but later in the MD GB they went in the Bonus Pack ICON.

[zslane]

Ah, right. I forget that being all row 3, those 1.25u cursor keys can be oriented as necessary and re-purposed as chevron control keys.

[rB0rlax]

Hi, I'm new here. I have quite a list of Granites I'm looking for and a bunch that I would like to trade.
They're from both round 1 and 2 so please let me know if you need a specific version so we can confirm it's the right one.

I'm in Sweden so shipping within EU would be cheap but I don't mind shipping anywhere else.


Here is a list of what I want and what I have for trade:

Cheers!

[zslane]

I will be looking to buy someone's Numpad Kit, if anyone has one to sell.

I figure someone out there might have originally purchased it for a full kbd and then transitioned to a TKL or 60% and now has a numpad kit they don't want or need anymore.

[ideus]

Does someone have a spare 2u back space? Please PM-me if you have one.

[Eszett]

Here the german part of the international keyset, I dont need twice (i have those keys twice)
