Anyone knows SP's clear keycaps is ABS or PBT? I see it has the same thick as my SP's PBT keycaps.

I think they are ABS, becuase they have no PBT molds for space bars, but clear space bars exist.

I don't think so since they can't double shoot it

It looks exactly the same as my PBT keycaps. Any one has SP's blank keycaps? Maybe SP uses different molds for blank and PBT keycaps.

This still on track with GH down?

hamza_tm · 29 Jun 2012, 15:22

Of course, they wouldn't just eat up your money and close up everything now would they?

emptythecache · 29 Jun 2012, 15:31

shhh i don't want to think about that being an option. And anyway, I think we are still more held up on finding money collectors. i sent an invoice this morning to verify that i can update from here instead of GH, and it told me not to pay yet.

Yes, this GB is on track. GH is no longer in the equation.

If you invoice says not to pay, then it's just not your "turn" to pay yet. Invoices have to "trickle" into Paypal to avoid problems people have had in the past with Paypal locking accounts because these Group Buys are not operated the same way Paypal expects a retail business to operate.

One of the issues seemed to be that Paypal would lock an account if "orders" were not "marked as shipped" in a certain amount of time. Would anyone object to your payment being "marked as shipped" on Paypal to avoid the collection account from being locked for that reason?

If you sent a payment between 6/20 and 6/28 your invoice report should be updated soon if it's not already.

grik · 29 Jun 2012, 16:49

Just warn people that they will receive the shipped status but the real shipping will start later.

GH is dead for good?
Lets do this Round4 and get over with, its been more than a year since it started

i paid quite an amount on 20th of june, and its not registered on my invoice yet...

Your larger payment was received on June 20 for $XXX.51 USD. Your smaller payment was also received on June 28 for $XX.43 USD. Your invoice should be updated shortly.

Netdewt · 29 Jun 2012, 16:52

In any case I think this whole thing is weird. Why does everything happen so unexpectedly on GH?

All I have to say is... I better get my keycaps or my money back at some point.

Yeah, the Group Buy leaders are cool though. Amazing what they put up with there.

I used the Deskthority wiki from the beginning and also posted the Round 4 thread here when Round 4 started.

In fact things are easier for me because I don't need to post on 2 different websites.

I could never figure out how to use that Google Docs thing. Does it require JuvaScript or Flash?

edit: Please send to 7bit_R4:

to get the key caps in the Desckthority banner!

megnin · 29 Jun 2012, 17:21

FYI... Recent payments from the list of people below have been marked in Paypal as "shipped" to satisfy Paypal's retailer rules which don't really fit with the way a Group Buy operates. I'm letting you know because Paypal will be sending you an email with your "shipping" information. Some, but not all, will have "7bit" listed as the shipper and your invoice number listed as your tracking number. I think this will be my standard practice from now on. Shipping will not actually take place, of course, until the caps are manufactured.

SirHobo, I got your payment, but you are not on the list, I think, because you may have sent the payment as "Gift" so there was no Shipping option on your payment. It's all good.

For all payments, DO NOT USE "GIFT". Use "Goods" or I think "Services" is okay, too.

Be sure to add your Invoice ID in the notes of your Paypal payment, but don't add any extra text. Just like this "R4 1234 megnin". Nothing more is needed. If you add "<------ This is for the Group Buy" or such like that, I just have to manually delete the extra characters before your payment can be recorded and processed. Thanks for helping me out there.

mintberryminuscrunch · 29 Jun 2012, 17:29

How can you miss the "NO GIFT" banner in the invoice?

mmmty · 29 Jun 2012, 18:58

I already paid half. What do I have to do next? Wait for another invoice and payment instruction?

megnin · 29 Jun 2012, 19:04

mmmty wrote:I already paid half. What do I have to do next? Wait for another invoice and payment instruction?

Hi. Yes, that exactly.

Invoices will either say to wait for further instructions, and those are for your information only, or they will list the Paypal address to send the payment to.

Please note, you will probably be sending your second half payment to a different address than the one you sent the first half to.

Yes, but you may wait for quite a while, because PayPal does not like the money to rush in at once.

But you can pay in Euro at any time as long as your back is able to process SEPA payments.

Zifle · 30 Jun 2012, 02:06

This has completely crossed my mind until now; No stabilizer inserts? I'm getting kind of tired of using the same 10 pins for every keyset =/
Or will I just have to grab a handful from wasd?

I thought i would get a new invoice when its time to pay.
How much time do I have to pay?

Stabiliser inserts are not provided becuase yuou either have them on your keyboard or you don't need them because you have a Cherry keyboard, or you get them along with your Phantom.

A week or 2, becuase your username starts with a lowercase p which is quite down in the ASCII alphabet.

You don't need windows and you can get away with a ROUND3/NO kit.

I already considered Norwegian symbols but if I pay 300USD, I would like to get the right legends. Any plans when this GB and the Phantom might run again?
