weh

My guy I bought Coral oases keycaps and the groupbuy ended late july/early aug 2022. It said shipping time november 2022 and they finally shipped less than a week ago. 4 month delay.

Im never buying from them again seeing as they have no guarantee. And yes I know theyre handmade etc but dont promise customers something you cant keep. This isnt an isolated incident. Its very common they get delayed. I guess the same thing can be said about GMK keycaps too but people still buy them anyway.

I kinda agree with this one

Very nice. I got the silver case with a knob. I'm waiting on some keycaps, I have the Keychron OEM profile set for now and I'm not really digging it.

I fundamentally disagree with the premise of your comment. Consumers have a right to fair and realistic expectations from the people selling them goods and services. Banal platitudes like "you can't rush art" and "man up" can't be offered up in place of actual customer service.

If you’re gonna be replacing stabilizers then just buy TX. Incredibly easy to tune, literally miles ahead of competition. All and I mean All stabilizers can be made to be good, so swapping your bad stock stabilizers for another set bad to mediocre stabilizers is just a waste of 10$. If you really want to change them for whatever reason I’d buy cherry clip ins which are under a dollar a pop

Okay I just ask then that you don't say you expect 90 day shipments. Please be more realistic in your timelines.

I gotta get me one of those sweet, sweet 1800s...

Because it needs a 6u sized spacebar and barely any keycap sets come with a 6u sadly

Why the small space bar?

No offence bud but I don't think you know the first thing about a buisness like this, especially of this caliber, and the amount of man hours put into each and every detail per piece. These are one off unique pieces, literally art, things happen, life happens, you literally can't rush perfection. It's impossible to always meet expectations and promises. Who cares how long it takes to get it as long as you do end up getting it?? He's not cashing out on vacation and shipping them when he gets back lol. These things go around the world and then some. Being "oversubscribed" as you say is a great thing for him if it's true. I hope he is "oversubscribed" because these aren't streamline assembly line productions lol.

In the end it's simple. Man up and wait for it to show up or don't join Group Buys. I've spent way WAY more money than I just did ($170) on these caps and had to wait much longer than the alloted time given. It's life. You'll live, or cry....

LOL trust me I thought the same thing for awhile. You gooood hahahah glad I could help.

The details... wow.

I think the downvotes are an easy way for them to bury any comments about the wait down at the bottom. Upvoted you. It's a legit question.

I honestly don't have an issue with the wait, I just want them to be honest about it up front. This was my very first artisan keycap I've ever purchased and I'm still waiting on it nearly a year later.

Another reason why group buys are trash

I first purchased June 9th of last year. My impression is that some of the group buys are finished faster, but the 8-bit series is slower to make.

I can share more info once I get my caps delivered, but Jelly Key is basically supposed to be the pinnacle of keycap artistry. I'm not aware of any platform that produces at a similar standard.

Fwiw my whole life I thought it was for all intensive purposes and now realizing that makes more sense

I looked at these years ago, I fully respect the amount of time and effort it takes to create such small masterpieces but fuck, what a price tag, especially for an entire set!

Just placed my order for a Spacebar and an ESC key! Can't wait!

Pwade sucks balls

I also had a lot of struggles with ASUS Armoury Crate install, however after some trial & error attempts I got it running and configured RGB profiles. Actually it has also reactive mode where key get lits after key stroke is registred. This was very helpful after I swapped out switches and I wanted to test if they are all working :)

This was my first board I got a few months ago. Unfortunately, the ASUS software/drivers WILL NOT INSTALL on my (Win11) machine. Literally the reason I joined the custom community was to build a better replacement 🙃

It’s not specifically against you. Your products are lovely. It’s just the way the entire hobby works and the community putting up with it that’s frustrating sometimes..

"how much are you willing to spend on keycaps?"

"Yes"
