[Interest Check] Fentek Mini Group Buy

[Grond]

Fentek provides clear and colored keycaps from Model M you can't get from Unicomp.

I'd like to buy some clears, but at 17,50$ for ten keys, I find them quite pricey. They said they will apply volume discount for a large order though.

PER UNIT PRICE:
10 @ 1.75$
100 @ 1.60$
250 @ 1.45$
500 @ 1.30$
750 @ 1.15$
1000 @ 0.99$

Is anyone else interested?

You should ask them about the "per-unit" price if you order 10-20-50-100 and so on, because If you have no idea what final price will this end up people won't be interested.

[Grond]

That's a good idea. I will do that.

[Grond]

Updated with prices.

Ciao Grond

Do you plan to order some colored ones too ?

[Grond]

Yes, if you're interested. I assume the above prices are the same for clear and colored. Volume discount won't make them bargain anyway.

I might be interested in colored ones as well. They only sell 1 unit Keys? Does anyone know how the texture of the keycap feels like? And what shipping to Germany would be?

[webwit]

Texture is the same as normal keycaps.

[Grond]

There is not a big price difference. IMHO such prices are not very atractive for a GB

That's what I think as well. Starting prices are much higher than Unicomp's, and I hoped the price drop would be more consistent. Anyway I believe we can save some money with shipping. I have a keyboard that's gonna be shipped to me from the US, so I could have some keycaps shipped in the same package, and then do Euro redistribution. Of course this won't work with a giant amount of keycaps, but I don't see a towering interest anyway.

The keycaps are from Unicomp, when they still had those colors. So naturally Fentek will always be more expensive, they need to earn a living.

[Grond]

This means that when Fentek's stocks are over, those colors are gone for good! :O

[webwit]

I'm way ahead of you!

[Grond]

Those clears do look good. And the colors too. It's a shame that Unicomp seems to be always ditching their best products!

[Gilgam]

10 clears for me and 5 of each color i don't already have
i just have to check which color i have

[Grond]

Ok, just let me know the colors.

For future reference, if anyone wants Model M clears, clickykeyboards sell them too. They are a bit cheaper than fentek's and they include stems.
