I've thought about it, but the cost of anything bigger than TKL tends to go up non-linearly. After FC660C, I'm going to do the RealForce numpad, so I've got my plate full for a while, but perhaps after that.

Thanks for the kind words, btw.

I suppose I would have heard about it if it was planned, but it's still worth asking: are you planning on an additional round? I would love to get my hands on a case for Novatouch (tactical grey probably), and I think the demand is still pretty high on a number of colors.

I prefer to produce my ...

The price drops from SP weren't significant enough to trouble with, like $1-2.

You should be able to add it to your cart on the Roddenberry site and get an estimate of the cost without having to go all the way through the checkout process.

Though I don't know where I'd put it if there was one.

Heh. The closest is "pattern enhance," on the Shift key, which is definitely a transporter-related term.

The original first round was actually on Pimp My Keyboard; it was like maybe the second or third GB they ever ran.

Yeah we did I can't find it now. Somewhere in the photo section.

Yes, there was an un-branded (no Star Trek logos or references) version of this keyset that I designed along with input from GeekHack members quite a few years ago.

Norm is a relatively newly self-discovered keyboard nerd, I think, but what he may lack in expertise in the area, he makes up for enthusiasm. :) Anyway, he said he wanted browns, so I sent him browns.

Sure, I hook you up with just the case, either for the CM MasterKeys S PBT, the Rapid-i, Novatouch ...

I'm just grumpy, ignore me. GB used to mean that per banana 1 banana is more expensive than getting some people you know together to buy 100 bananas, as you can haggle for discounts. What it now means is that companies like SP (and MD) smartly target specific demographics with "alternative" product ...

Yeah, I wasn’t sure where to stick this. On GeekHack this fits in the GB forum. Where would be the appropriate spot here?

Hi all. I don't venture over here from GeekHack as often as I should, but I just wanted to share here a project I've been working on for a while with the folks over at GeekHack and Roddenberry Entertainment: an official Star Trek: The Next Generation keycap set! The set includes official Starfleet ...

Thanks! That's my favorite new color this round.

Hi all. I just thought I'd mention that I'm doing one final "mini-group buy" of these cases . I've changed up some of the finishes available, expanding the custom powder coat options by popular demand, since I've decided to scale back the anodizing options. Community Feedback so far on the previous ...

Thanks so much for joining up!

Hi all. I just wanted to say that today is the last day of the group buy. I'll probably keep it open a few hours past the Friday midnight PST deadline for folks in Europe, but I need to submit the order to the factory on Monday (which means spending Sunday tallying everything up), so I can't go much ...

haha. Thanks zslane!

Incidentally, for those who have contacted me who need spare riser feet from round 1 (or if anybody just wants spares for the current round 2), I created this listing:
https://shop.norbauer.com/products/spare-riser-feet

I don't have the full range of colors available, but ...

I just thought I would mention that, by popular demand, round 2 of this group buy is now live, with improved shipping rates for international buyers and lots of interesting new colors.

I also made a video about the making of round 1.

A few people have sent me PMs who missed out on the GB. If you fall into this category and you'd like, you can join this list here:

I expect to have some spares available and will announce there when they are ...

I'll continue to post updates in the GeekHack group buy thread , but I'm happy to report that these are done being machined and are off to be bead blasted and anodized/powder coated. They'll be shipping to me within the next couple weeks and then out to my fellow keyboard nerds all over the world ...

Thanks for your support, everyone! The order is now at the factory, and at our quantity they estimate a 1-2 month lead time before shipping to the USA, where I will re-pack with the necessary parts and ship to participants worldwide. I'll be posting updates in the GeekHack thread and occasionally ...

Orpheo wrote: Do you have my order in? I paid just at midnight PST. I pm'd you my info ^^

Yes. Order is in and all is well. Thanks!

Friendly reminder: the group buy ends in just a few hours (midnight, PST).

We've hit our MOQ, so no pressure. But I probably won't be doing another group buy for this same case, so if you're on the fence, this is your chance.

ajx wrote: Hello do you have silver as color?
How will it look like?
Thanks

Silver is only an option if you upgrade to a custom color, unfortunately. The way the deal with the factory works is that they are giving us a discount on a handful of stock colors. Any others and there is a large up-charge ($70).

Thanks! You're all set.

Shihatsu wrote: If you would order one extra for me and give me a couiple of months to sell some old stuff that would be just tooo good.

No problem. Can you send me a PM with your email, shipping address, and let me know which model you want? I'll be happy to set one aside for you.

God, if only I wasn't broke as shit. This is the best case I ever have come to witness. A true beauty. I bow my head, Mr. Norbauer! Any chance of repeating that one, maybe with a fullsize option, somewhere in the future? One can only hope...

If you want to order one and don't have the money now ...

Hi all. This is Ryan Norbauer from GeekHack (and creator of the Galaxy Class keyset), the guy who is organizing this group buy. Thanks to derzemel for posting this! At his suggestion, I wanted to post here to let anyone know they're welcome to ask any questions and I'll be happy to answer them ...
