The next logo gets too small and I'm afraid the text would get mangled, so I picked the pixel alien back. The ° will be with the - don't worry. Now order it!
Hey, that’s a fine set! It even contains the pipe |, but I hope when you write "The ° will be with the - don't worry" you don’t mean that the degree sign ° is going to be replaced by a small o with an underline like in :o :shock:
isn't that what you guys wanted?

I don’t know what other guys want :lol:
but what I’m interested in is an authentic degree sign as explained in wikipedia:
The masculine ordinal indicator U+00BA (º) is often confused with the degree sign U+00B0 (°), which looks very similar in many fonts and is available on Italian and Spanish keyboard layout. The degree sign is a uniform circle and is never underlined, while the letter o may be oval or elliptical and have a varying stroke width. The letter o may also be underlined. [emphasis added by kbdfr]

Please don't kill the alien !

It's perfect as is. I get bépo, a lovely space invader key (the alien, like it very much) and even a duck for that price.

This is amazing ! Thanks Matt, your work wont be useless.
I think I'll really be done with (MX) keycaps buy because this GB reach my perfection so much.

Now, I can fully worry about this bank transfer : don't want to miss this GB because of that. (I know, I should did this long time before)

When the degree sign was added, I imagined a simple ° key vertically upper than centered. The purpose described by kbdfr was to make 1° 2° 3° et cætera so even if I don't need it I support him. :)
The alien is so cute and I don't think that anyone requested the underlined variant.

matt30, thanks again for being so responsive (and always at such a short notice).
You’re doing a perfect job, I hope you will be duly rewarded for it.

Hey, I hadn’t noticed the set will now even contain a 1u "Enter" key - just great!

Yes, I mean the reputation you are gaining.
In the future the caps will surely be referred to not only as "Granite Set", but as "caps from matt30’s Group Buy" :mrgreen:

Stellar work, Matt. Positively aquatic in fact!

Pity about the NeXT logo, but quite understood. The duck makes up for it! And Greeks alphas, oh boy.

hmm, have not been following cherry group buys of late, but this looks so good that I'm seriously tempted.
Did I see a final date on this one ?

Nah, Webwit ain't no rubber ducky.

I have a feeling Omega is a popular legend, the Greek schoolboy's favourite!

Just to let anyone interested know that I managed to get a refund by emailing the support email for SP at the bottom of the page.
Annoyed at not being able to get a set in time I actually ordered some blank DSA PBT keycaps instead; not really the same but excited to try DSA anyways.
