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. More info on the 60% GB can be found here.

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 geekhack and /r/mk as well everyone here.

Super awesome! (I wish Matias would also do 6u wires, but what the heck, I'll bend one myself ... with blackjack! and hookers!)
