Hey everyone, the updated warning signs kit with proper pricing were added! My apologies on taking a little longer to get it up after closing the original Warning Signs!

YanboWuSince the salt is real,
like in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KquFZYi6L0
I thought about this salty kit:

That should lower the salt level :)

YanboWuThanks guys for getting this added! Just for future reference - a simple 30 second followup comment about your intentions would have stopped the discussion thread from spinning out of control for the last 10 hours =)

T0mb3ryI would pay a good amount of money for that salty kit, it is a great way to commemorate and remember the madness that took place on the message boards today. I wouldn't mind if one of the keys was R4 though :P

YanboWuConsider 'Warning' people about removing the kit, when you pull these shenanigans mid-extension. This was ultimately Mass Drops mistake and people who were here since Day 1 should've have been allotted a time period of 6-12hours to join in at worst case scenario.

drakeonyouSince its the salty kit, we are thinking about how to make it difficult to purchase. I suggest to make it randomy available to only one Massdrop user for 5 minutes without warning him about the possibility. That would make it really salty ;)

CyphreAgreed. Would be appropriate as an escape key so people can slap it when they want to rage quit in video games
T0mb3ryOh please don't do that. That would be mean. I have over 300$$ in my cart right now. Why not get more money out of us by releasing it exclusively for this round only.
JcmotionYes, all previous orders and prices are been honored.
YanboWuThank you Mr.Yanbo! So happy my warning sign original order from day one will be honored!
P.s I also await your next closet drop. LOL :-p

Can we get the pricing on the spacekeys kit fixed? It passed the last drop point, but it hasn't been adjusted.
T0mb3ryyes please, for the salt kit. that would make his buy extra special. literally

T0mb3rysorry but this time i dont agree...
this is a matter of communications and buyers respect.
this is a know problem of massdrop and it get worst every time
this should have be done simultaneously: remove wrong warning sign, but new price and kits, leave a messege with explanations
anyway the salt kit should be free to every new warning sign kit buyers
giamminWhat exactly warrants keys to be given away for free to new buyers?

Oblotzkyyou misunderstood me, or i dont get what you say (sorry for my bad english)
I was joking about the salty kit...
i mean that the salty kit should be free to the people who buy the new warning signs kit
giamminYes, you expressed that correctly. But why should it be free?

T0mb3ryApart the joke that is funny (and on a side note i would like a salty kit rofl), here we are talking about the total lack of communication and people were totally right, so there is no need for these sharp/edgy comments.
Now that everything is solved, since i'm still mad for the no pre-warning before removing the kit and we will have to pay a different price because we got no notice before the change, may we have at least that dope Salty kit!?!? It is too late to return on your steps @T0mb3ry, you showed us the salty kit, mistakes were made, giff salty kit
giamminSo they fixed the price so that they are no longer taking a loss from selling more of the kit, and now you want new free keys to be given to the new purchases, which would make it a sale with loss again?

I just expected MD to add it back today at the original price for at least 1 day with a warning that the kit price will be updated in 1 day, so everyone who delayed the "join", now wouldn't be mad for the price change. So simple, almost no loss, still nothing like this. Even this should have been handled better on MDs part.

It is my understanding the delay came b/c Yanbo was out on vacation, and he runs the mech keyboard sales on MD almost all by himself. If he was in the office the whole time, this would have probably been sorted much sooner. Yes, communication was not great, and yes, a lot of people are upset by the price jump (even though the new prices are still very fair for what is offered). Ultimately, I do not see where things could have been handled much better, given that the main person on the MD side was simply unavailable. MD is agreeing to take a pretty large loss in revenue (~$11k) to keep the existing buyers happy, and the new buyers are still able to get the set at a fair price.

Fair enough, I see where you are coming from. I am not sure I agree that MD temporarily removing the warning kit until Yanbo was back (which was yesterday to my knowledge) would have worked well either. Not letting people buy one of the signature kits for any extended amount of time would have brought out the pitchforks just as much as the sudden removal of the kit yesterday.
I don't think they switched the price to contain the loss, I think they switched the price to a fair market price as soon as Yanbo was back. They could have told everyone who bought the kit at the original price that they would need to pay more (this wouldn't have upset me too much, and in fact I sort of expected this would happen and was prepared to pay more). Instead, they fixed the price but ate the loss for everyone who was already in.
Anyway, I definitely agree MD should learn from this. But, I suspect the main thing they have learned is to have someone doublecheck prices before posting. Anyone familiar with SA drops would have seen the warning signs kit was priced too low, which leads me to believe no one ever took a second look before posting. Ultimately, double checking these things before release would prevent anything like this from happening again

mkcolbI understand Yanbo was in vacation, but again, when he returned he could have easily warn the community and give them another day to join at that price (limited 1 for user), since the most part of the drop was already sold and the big lost for them was already set, another day could have sold just other 30-50 warning kits to people who delayed to join the group and that now are upset. The drop was in a static situation for days now.
Personally i know at least 4 people (plus me) upset from this, not sure if they will really pass this drop just for this, but they may pass. What they did is not even smart for them, since these few people may pass a $200+ drop only for the drama behind this little kit. It wasn't smarter to have another small and insignificant loss of 1 day with a pre-warning but make everyone happy to join the drop? You know just to make things clear and clean for everyone, which is exactly what a million dollar company should do.

T0mb3ryJust FYI, not super interested in Carbon or SP cap sets in general now that maxkey exists, but the availability of these salt keycaps would instantly result in a buy from me, which would likely result in a buy of several other sets because I'm already in on the GB, might as well go whole hog.
You should make these mods happen, I'm probably not alone in my wallet burning insanity.

YanboWuGreat news and appreciate the gesture to honor the "mistake" pricing.
This is a great example of what many have been reiterating here in these keycaps group buys, if you want to get the next tier pricing, commit to it early and let it pan out. Don't be on the fence and wait until everything is at it's lowest, because, whatever price you enter in is the lowest then, and it can go lower. That's it.
I for one am glad I took the plunge with all alpha and kits that I wanted/needed, *takes my popcorn* and waits for new pricing tier.

punkonjunkyes, maxkey is an option, but currently only for users with standard ANSI boards/layouts or "parts" of that like a "normal" TKL.
no 40%, no DC, no ISO, no NORDEUK, no ERGODOX, no PLANCK from maxkey ...
I have no problem with that, I'm now on ANSI 104 after a few excursions to a V60 and an Ergodox.

T0mb3ryIn addition to the salty kit, I suggest adding a water kit, to wash all the salt out of the system. Too much sodium is bad for the heart.

YanboWuI can understand a human error, it happens. I think people are just upset over the fact that nothing was mentioned that it would be coming back at the correct price if at all. Instead of people mocking others over that frustration I think they should maybe learn what the understanding of 'soon' is instead of making joke novelties. This is peoples hard earned money, they are paying up front for a product that isn't going to be made for at least 9 months, have a little respect for that.
