GMK HADapter & HADditionals kit (Sold out, 100% shipped)

[ba7777]

Got my package today! Thanks again for running this GB.

[Wodan]

What a relieve! That was one of the longest journey parcels of all

Any issues with customs ?

[ba7777]

Recently they checked my parcel every time then I needed to go to custom office to explain for them.

But it's not a big deal. They let me go every time also without custom fee invovled.

[Wodan]

The leftover form will open on Fri, 19th August 2016 at noon sharp Central European Summer Time. Limited quantities!

[t!ng]

[Wodan]

Let them FIGHT OVER IT Wodan!

Thank you everyone helping me make this possible:


That keyboard was one of the main drivers behind the HADditionals kit and I am so happy with how it turned out.

The non-GMK keycaps on that keyboard used to be badly worn OG Cherry kecaps that I retr0brighted and sandblasted back into shape.

Thanks again everyone, I should have said it a long time ago: I have to thank all of you for helping me get these keycaps manufactured.

It's beautiful! Well done and thank you for organising.

Spoiler:

Yaas, Wodan!! Exactly the layout I'm going for with my second HADapter kit. Maybe this backspace above Enter and split BS on top can convince me to give ANSI another try.

But I think it is up to us to say thanks for letting us join in the fun. Thanks!

Thanks Wodan again for organising this GB, and looking forward to Round 2 (also when are you going to start a keycap sandblasting service? )

[Wodan]

I've been typing on sandblasted keycaps that were originally very, very worn and I am still unsure about the keycap feel. It is distinctively different from GMK/NIB keycaps and more like the Cherry PBT caps. Not sure if other people will enjoy that.

Will sell a few blasted sets at a good price soon to people who promise to give me feedback. If that goes well, i might do some sandblasting for hire

I'm rather interested to find out how well this works, I've got a set of OG Cherry that is somewhat well worn, rather curious how the surface of sanblasted caps feel compared to the factory new texture from GMK.

I selflessly volunteer myself to be guinea pig for your sandblasted caps.

Maybe a long-term review (3-4 months) with before/after pictures? I have never owned PBT sets made by Cherry, maybe one day, I too will own a set of Cherry PBTs.

[shreebles]

I have only one Cherry PBT set. Well, one dye-subbed one, the other one is lasered and doesn't see much use.
The thing is, I love it so much I don't like to type on anything else. All my other caps either have the wrong profile, don't look as good, or the wrong material. ABS always feels so sticky. Especially old doubleshots.
Now I'm afraid I'll wear through my only Dye-sub set. Some keys are already developing some shine, like the vowels, S, and the enter key

[Wodan]

Cherry Dye Sub sandblasting works great, the results are much closer to the original feeling.

Cherry PBT ISO Enter half-blasted:

[shreebles]

You sandblasted dye-subs? Man, that must take balls.

But, if Cherry doesn't coat or treat the surface somehow, which I firmly believe they don't, the "new" sandblasted surface should be like a brand new dye-sub set, right? If so, that would be amazing.

[Wodan]

Basically, yes. The brand new dye sub surface of Cherry PBT caps has a very fine texture, notably finer than their ABS caps. It's MUCH MUCH harder to replicate a more coarse surface with sandblasting. The current grain I use is the most coarse grain I can use and still "break" the surface as in not just DENT the surface. Larger blasting particles will not blast off tiny parts of the surface but instead leave marks in the existing, often shiny surface leaving behind an ugly, shiny field of tiny craters

Well maybe ONE DAY I try first blasting with coarse material to create a rough texture and then use finer material to finish it. But I'm already at a point where the effort I have is in no way related to the profits I can make.

[RichardinFinland]

Is it time for the leftovers now?

[Wodan]

YES! Sorry, I was held up at the customs office:

[RichardinFinland]

submitted.

[Laser]

I hope I submitted my order for both kits (I remeber I did, then I wanted to edit the form - just to see if I put the details right, and got confused if I sent it or not )

[Wodan]

LOL I love you guys. 7 responses already!

[Geroximo]

I can't wait.

[Thumper]

When are we supposed to pay?

[Wodan]

Patience young padawans.

Waiting for enough orders to sell all HADapter kits and then close HADapter kit sales and invoice. Might be in a week or two. I rather wait for a decent amounf of orders to pile up and then mass process them. The difference between 20 and 40 orders is maybe 20% in total effort ...

[Prelim]

there are so many leftovers after all? I thought only 9 kits were remaining @@

LOL looks like the leftovers will be 9 HADapter kits and 33 HADditionals kits.

can please someone help me out:
Is this modifier color the same as the HADadapter kit?

(I don't have the kit at hand, and I need to part with one HAD set now (I have also an set with the very light colored modifiers))
