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

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!

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.

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

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. :D

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 8-)

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.

Who is manufacturing them?

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.

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.
