From my latest invoice, that I received only seconds ago, after I had already paid over 50% of the total sum.

LOWQTYFEES |Low qty fees (order more to get these down!)| | | |76.70

This is a joke, right?

he mentioned something about it on GH.
it's intended to encourage ppl to buy more stuff.
hope it is a joke,too
it doesn't work out this way, and is far too high

Well, I would have bought more stuff if I could have got adapter kits and novelty keys in the same order ...

No joke. Reality!

Low quantitiy kits pull down the others. Please notice that some of the base prices went down!

No extra shipping costs, BTW!

Mmmh, I really have to think about my pre-order because I've got a whopping 54% low quantity fees on top.

This is industrialization. Undr minimal order quantities prices rise.
I haven't read my invoice too

Wow. I just got my email. The prices were already ludicrously high before the "low qty fees". I'm now being asked to pay $259 for basically one full set of keys plus a few extra modifier keys.

Am I missing something here? I thought removing the unpopular kits was supposed to bring the prices down.

At this point, I think I could get the keycaps cheaper by paying a craftsman to hand carve them out of ivory.

Just order more FR and BEPO stuff and it goes down!

Please notice that the per kit prices went down, so it might be cheaper to order more.

Also, consider that you will never ever get BEPO or NEO or some laguage kits in doubleshots anymore!

This is the last time I do this. It is insane, all those options and combinations of options....

Don't say that!

Well. I am not paying $76.60 more. I want only the keys I ordered for $22 + reasonable shipping, or get back the 10 Euro that I have already paid.

36.30 EUR including shipping is not too much.

How much would it cost if I wanted to get in on a round3 set with dvorak and 2 tuxs? Not saying I do but maybe at the right price.

ROUND3/TUXMOD125 2
or
ROUND3/TUXMOD150 2
ROUND3/SPACE
or
ROUND3/SPACEOLD

Just need to know which keyboard you have.

It will be a filco TKL. But want to get full size keycap set just in case.

Try
STANDARD125DVORAK
if the full STANDARD kit is too expensive.

Well i just feel free to ask directly now:

What would i have to order i want a FULL Layout for a Cherry G80-3000 or a QPAD-Mk50 (ISO with Modifiers and Stuff, German Layout)?

nick_knife wrote:Well i just feel free to ask directly now:

With windows keys or without?

Which style?

SPH, ROUND3, RETRO, NOIR ???
Let's try RETRO first:
RETRO/STANDARDDE
RETRO/SPACE

I'm unsure about the space bar of the QPAD-Mk50. Please remove it carefully (at your own risk!) and measure the distances of the key mounts and the overall width of the space bar). Sometimes, a picture helps.

damn was talkin about noir style.

NOIR/STANDARD
NOIR/SPACE or SPACENEW (depends)

and what else?

NOIR/ISO ? NOIR/DE?

Darn, if it's the last time you arrange this, I guess I have to jump in.

Though, I have a question (I did my best to understand, I swear, but I still feel not sure about this one):
I have a Filco TKL and I would like to have it with Dvorak layout and the pictured control keys.
Are the pictured controlled key included in NOIR/TKLDVORAK or should I go with NOIR/ALPHADVORAK + NOIR/SYMTKL ?
Plus: are the tape drive and keyboard key available ?

Nope:

and be sure of the space, or get glue and jig ready.

Hey, I'm considering ordering a SPH/TKL kit for a keycool 87 (a Leopold knockoff). Does this come with a spacebar or do you have to order that separately? I modified someone else's invoice, would this quote be accurate for this set (assuming separate spacebar)?

I'm planning on searching for old keycaps at the upcomming Queen's Day (people sell their old crap), but I do like the look of those sphericals .

NOIR/ISO contains some key caps you might find useful when you move to Sandinavia, so you don't need to buy new key caps. If you want to stay in germany or Austria, just take the NOIR/STANDARDDE kit.

Yup, would be the one you need. But better take a look if the space bar really fits (jsut measure the distances of the keymounts).

I don't have the keyboard yet, but this is a picture of the spacebar from the geekhack review:



Btw, how thick are these keys going to be?
