Keycap Availability

[admin]

In production at least.  Insane journey the last few months have been.  I need to write a book about this.

Did your production company happen to sell their entire stock to Commodore/Perifractic for their C64 Ultimate? ;-)

No, quite the opposite actually.

This ties into a question I had that may have already been answered (apologies in advance)--- do the new C64 orders have to hit a certain "fulfilled" amount before the individual keycaps will be available again?

Eagerly awaiting,

Mean tease! 

Care to elaborate? (also: definitely would like to read aforementioned book! )

I'd guess that he is the official supplier for the keycaps of the new C64 Ultimate, but of course I could be completely wrong...

Thanks, was total news to me.
I mean, who follows an older/ended crowdfunding campain they didnt know of in the first place for current updates? 

Have a mean habit of being too late to the party...

Please contact a company in Germany, and the matter will be resolved quickly.
Those who accept cheap offers only have trouble.
We, the customers, want the keycaps as quickly as possible; we don't want any excuses.
Stop dealing with your current companies and find a company in Germany.

We're paying a lot for a few stupid keycaps, and they're just plastic keycaps, not rocket science.

The plastic is simple. I have molds that are great, and brand new molds to replace the molds that the factory damaged. It has always been the printing of the plastic that has been the problem.

Getting keycaps from outside of China would require new molds, and the best price i received in the U.S. was about $180,000 for tooling. Then there is the cost of fixtures for either pad printing or UV printing. The keycap sets would be insanely expensive had they come from any other location than China.

Hello

Is it possible we could get a update on when the Keycaps are due to be available ?
