You know you can get blank mods pretty much straight off the shelf from PMK, right?
Go to: http://keyshop.pimpmykeyboard.com/produ ... ank-sets-1
Select: "Standard Modifier Set - Gray (GDE) $21"
They are the exact same color code as Granite.

@janvkn Thank for your note. However, I need alot of 1.5u blanks, that would mean I have to order multiple sets from PMK, which is quite expensive.
@Supergeek what do you mean with "otter"?

To whom it may concern,
I'd like to trade for the Granite META key.
Here's your chance to get a key you might have wanted but didn't order in the recent drop.
(That's basically what happened with me & the META key.)
You can take your pic of any of the keys pictured.

P.S. I was debating whether to call it a "key" or a "keycap". I ended up going with "key", because not only did it rhyme conveniently with "me", as in "me & the META key", but also because it just rhymed with "conveniently".

I would like to buy any of the Mono Legends anybody doesn't want. I have extra function row and the Icon modifers that don't fit on a 60%board.

I've got a lot of European and some other granite keycaps that I don't need from the recent drop. I'd like to sell or ideally swap those.
As I'm a very new user here, I'd be willing to send the caps to any long time user first (i.e. before receiving swapped caps or money). I'm based in Germany, so I'd be shipping them by Deutsche Post or DHL.
I've got these to trade/sell, please send me a PM if you are interested in any or all (sorry for photos, but caps are mint)
I'm interested in those:

I'm interested in buying the 1.75U shift key cap. It's in the Granite text pro modifiers kit. I may have caps to trade.
May also have interest in the 1U Alt keys from the same kit or possibly the entire mod kit.

I'm looking for a few text mods.
I need: Both 1.25 Ctrls, one 1.25 Win, one 1.25 Menu, one 1.25 FN, and the blue text ESC from the gamer set. I can also use Super/Meta instead of FN/MENU.
I have a red text ESC and a full Think Different icon mod set (extremely similar to Granite) and, of course, paypal.

You should specified if you are referring to the pro or the standard modifiers version, and if you prefer text, or icon.

Two questions for all the Granite and MassDrop gurus out there:
1. Why is the cyrillic kit so desirable? I figure hardly anyone here actually uses/needs those cyrillic co-legends.
2. I saw the "Request" box on MassDrop which says, "After 200 requests, we’ll contact the vendor to re-launch the drop." There are nearly 2,000 such requests for the Granite drop. Is this re-launch request mechanism total BS or is someone (in a position to meaningfully affect a re-launch) actually paying attention to the follow-on demand for this keycap set?

1. Most people agreed with you and it was a low selling kit. But I loved the look, and the price was quite reasonable, so I grabbed it, knowing what would happen! People love rare stuff, and pretty stuff like Cyrillic dual language caps. But it takes pictures for most of them to realise they do…
2. Asking the wrong guy. I'm suspicious of them at the best of times. Perhaps SP isn't up to it. You're not likely to find out, with a middle man.

I am sure MD would love to do another run, however in this case, matt3o (the designer) does not want to do another run and he has the final say.

So how is authority over manufacturing and sales of a set divided between a 3rd party designer and SP? Is it the sort of arrangement whereby the designer wholly owns the design (IP) and SP is merely the vendor that "prints" it into existance and sells them OEM/wholesale-style to the designer/re-seller? I suppose if a designer fails to pay for the manufacturing run SP can take ownership of the design, ala DSA Dolch?
Now, why would either matt3o or SP be reluctant to do more runs? That just seems like leaving good money on the table. Especially since all the design work is already done. It's just a matter of firing up the presses and organizing another drop. I mean, I don't quite understand the idea that SP might not be "up to it". This is what they are in business to do, is it not?
