[SHIPPING] Granite Set ~ 100% PBT ~ Dye Sub ~ DSA

[Broadmonkey]

I got a mail today from SP stating they hope to ship the last of the orders within this week. I presume that also means the international sets? Did we get pics of those?

[carpetbomber]

Can confirm. My order with Intl set shipped yesterday.

[zulios]

Mine arrived today, was shipped on June 26. That was fast !

Either French customs are superb compared to Britain's, or your order was small enough they didn't notice it.

Mine was shipped on June 26 and arrived (in California) on the 28th.

Still waiting, slowly I get a bad feeling about my order... How can i contact Melissa if everything is okay?
After the PayPal invoice nothing happened in my inbox.

[Eszett]

I’m still waiting too, probably they can’t process and ship all packages at once.

Data point: I just got shipping confirmation on my set with mono! monomonomono

[Muirium]

I think Melissa has to pack all of them by hand! Anyway, another datum: my order had mono, too. 9 different sets in total, including Nerddom, blank ISO return and Cyrillic. If I were at my brother's place I'd be bragging pretty hard right about now…

Did you get the last information mail (30.06.14) regarding the Granite shipping? If not, i'm gonna post it here:

Code: Select all

Just a quick update on the Granite Group Buy shipping:

We are still producing keycap sets and are shipping them as they are completed. We are trying to get these all out this week, but with the holiday at the end of the week (we are closed both Thursday and Friday) are not sure if it is possible. You will receive a tracking number from Stamps.com as soon as your order ships.

Thanks!

Can't upload pics from my phone (too big). Later but they're fantastic.

Mine arrived few days ago - base set and text modifiers. The keycaps turned out really cool, and to my liking - clean and conservative.
Cheers to that Italian guy.

[Mr.Bean]

Need icon pro modifiers for my ED.

[Muirium]

I got the icon pro set. What have you got in mind, exactly?

Oh, and the Granite trades thread is here:

After looking at the photos here and on GH I fell like kicking myself in the ..... for missing this GB.
This set looks just awesome
DSA is soooo flat and yet curvy .... and the legends

Keep the chant going: Round 2! Round 2!

As much as i want a Granite Round 2. GBs seem to be struggling. I hope Matt3o waits a while.

[Yslen]

Mine arrived today, and apparently slipped through the net of the legendary UK customs. Unfortunately I moved out yesterday, so I've got to wait until my parents visit to get my hands on the caps

Something else to look forward to, I guess

[squarefrog]

Mine arrived today too, without the customs charge. Someone must have been sleepy from watching footie at night.

I'm really glad I forgot to order a keycap puller, that probably wouldn't have been helpful now would it :/

[Muirium]

Boom!

Fingers crossed for better pictures once my bro gets his macro lens. I could shoot better ones than these with a phone…

Oh, re: Granite Round 2, I'd be fine with late in the year. After Round 5, surely!

[sean4star]

Got my set and it looks awesome! Only problem is the stabilize stabs for the spacebar won't stay in. If I hit the spacebar on the side the stabs just pop right out which makes the spacebar wobble like mad. Any advice?

[sean4star]

They hold just fine in my original spacebar. It's like the holes are too big in the new one.

[sean4star]

Oh great...it's like that for my enter key stabs too. I'm going to guess it's like that for all my stabs. Any ideas?

[DanielT]

You have Costar stabs ? If yes there is a simple solution to that, just take a small piece of tape and stick it to the stab insert, it works 100%. I had the same problem with the Dolch DSA set on a CM Storm. This trick solved the issue, and it doesn't harm the stabs in any way. I didn't had the problem with Cherry stabs, I guess these are a little bit thicker.
Hope it helps.

[sean4star]

Perfect! Thanks a ton.

[matt3o]

it is better to use the scotch tape trick with cherry stabs as well (at least in my experience). The cap is more stable.

[Jmneuv]

In addition to them being too loose, some of the larger DSA caps have obstructions inside the secondary stem shafts. To fully insert the stab mount you either need to carefully drill out the shaft or cut the mount a little. I had that issue with blanks, might be happening with this set too.

Me too... I wanted nice DSA for so long and missed the best design ever...
Will try to trade some round 5 for this.

[squarefrog]

Well I've spent an hour this morning swapping my keys over.




Overall I'm pretty happy with the quality and design. I'm unsure if I'll keep it as I'm already missing the colours of my original. It's also bugging me that I don't have an appropriate Tab key, so I used one of my old modifiers, but it's a different shade of blue if I can get a blue modifier for tab that's the same shade it'd be perfect.

The pics don't really do the set justice. Even the SLR can't cope with the dynamic range of white on black.

Thanks for a great set Matt3o!
