Drop has endet.... what the hell?!?!?!

seebart · 16 Aug 2016, 17:07

I like that orange BTW matt3o.

matt3o · 16 Aug 2016, 17:30

I have a bunch of pre-production in my hands, but I have to check color accuracy

cookie · 16 Aug 2016, 18:07

How did this drop end, this post is brand new and fresh and I had no chance to do something... just why? I feel helpless, you've betrayed me!

seebart · 16 Aug 2016, 18:14

Pre-production cookie! Calm TF down.

I must say I'm in love with the green one

Khers · 16 Aug 2016, 18:51

They look great! Almost makes me regret I only got blacks and whites this time around...

zslane · 16 Aug 2016, 19:17

Still no (UK Hi-Pro) beige or brown. Feh.

Mr.Bean · 17 Aug 2016, 22:19

How about 10th anniversary grey?

Sorry bro ... completely. Shipping is happening soon and matt3o is just doing final QC on the results.

We are not Friends anymore!

Wodan · 18 Aug 2016, 15:52

Well ... I wish I had some extras but I only got one of each color. Ordered both greys twice though ... ?

You must've been MIA for a while. Weren't these on Massdrop for, like, three or so weeks?

Yes I was actually, had to do a messy GB and some work related Issues. I am not actually mad, was just joking a little bit. But I have to admit that I am really tempted to one of the green and orange.

I really like the Spacebars from the last Drop.

Good guy Seebart already offered me his! Have to thank him later

Next thing for me is painting my HHKB Pro1 (again) and do some custom cable sleeving!

Maybe Matt3o has some production samples left? Color accuracy doesn't matter that much. I don't have any matching caps.

matt3o · 19 Aug 2016, 09:29

yeah I have a couple good enough samples, they are a little warped maybe but can be easily fixed. I'll check it for ya

scottc · 19 Aug 2016, 09:32

Sorry for jumping on this in a non-sale thread too, but could I maybe please get a sample too? Feel free to shoot me down.

002 · 19 Aug 2016, 09:37

I kinda wish I didn't ditch my green keycap set now...
I ordered a green and orange anyway just so I have every Topre PBT spacebar

Thank you very much, a little wrap is no problem for me though.
Can you PM me or shall I get in touch with you?

Erm, I just got a few spacebars from the most recent sale at massdrop and fuck me what a mess they are. I ordered six bars and exactly zero out of those are straight. I get sea sickness just from looking at them. I was very happy with the ones I received in the first round, so I do wonder what the hell happened between the two rounds. And massdrop, what were you thinking shipping these out? Did you think we wouldn't notice? Needless to say, I've asked for a full refund.

zslane · 18 Oct 2016, 21:24

Who is manufacturing them?

fug...
gonna need to see pics, man.

Khers · 19 Oct 2016, 07:57

On my way to work atm, but I can fix that in the evening. Anyway, all is well, MD has issued a full refund based on the pics I provided and acknowledge that there is a severe issue with the quality of the latest batch. Probably going to be a costly one for them, but kudos for doing the right thing.

Wodan · 19 Oct 2016, 08:25

I keep hearing these stories and I know I will pay customs when I get mine - even though they haven't been shipped yet!
But I still try to convince myself that's a good sign and maybe I will get some better ones ... ?

Guess I will have to find out. And the customs charges are probably my loss when Massdrop refunds me - they will not refund customs charges.

May I ask what is the surface like? Is it really smooth like ABS or is it still grainy like stock PBT caps?

When I read they made the surface smooth that was a real turn off for me tbh.
