Product Description
While it may sound like a tribute to Santa Claus’s reindeer, the Dasher & Dancer Custom SA Keycap Set has nothing to do with Christmas—but that’s not to say it won’t make a great gift. Made possible by Massdrop, and designed by Geekhack and Deskthority community member zslane, this custom set of keycaps pays homage to the Dasher Terminal from Data General, which was one of the most advanced computers available upon its release Read More

UPDATE: 9/21
As of tonight, >95% of the orders have shipped out. There are a few orders that had incorrect shipping labels that were held up today, but they are expected to get corrected shipment labels and be sent out tomorrow.
UPDATE: 9/19
As of tonight, 80% of the orders have shipped. The remaining orders are expected to ship in the next couple days, though it's possible they will all go out tomorrow AM (please keep in mind it can take 12-24 hours for tracking to get into the system and be emailed out).
I'll provide an update Thursday 9/21 to confirm that they've all gone out.
UPDATE: 9/15
As of tonight, 50% of the orders have shipped. The remaining orders are expected to ship next week. The reason these were not all shipped out today is that another order was ahead in priority (based on being delayed further than this set). A majority of the other order has been shipped, so I'm expecting the orders to continue shipping and a majority, if not all, to be shipped early next week. I'm sorry the team was not able to get everything out from this order today - I know many people are anxiously waiting to get their shipping confirmation.
I'll provide an update end of day Tuesday 9/19 (if not sooner) to update you on the latest.
UPDATE: 9/14
As of this afternoon, 26% of this drop had shipped and the team expects the majority to be shipped by EOD tomorrow, but it may be the case that some sets are shipped early next week. Please keep in mind that tracking numbers sometimes take 12-24 hours before being in the system and sent out.
I'll provide an update tomorrow (9/15) towards the end of the day with what % shipped out, and if there are any that didn't yet I will try and get as much specific information as I can on why they weren't sent yet and when they should be sent. Thanks for the patience.
UPDATE: 9/12
Hey all - just wanted to follow-up on the multiple comments surfaced below about not seeing tracking orders yet. I checked with the team, and only a portion of the Dasher & Dancer drop went out on Monday. The remainder of orders are continuing to be sent out today and over the next couple days, and we expect all shipments to be sent by the end of the week (Fri 9/15).
Sorry for the confusion - it's entirely my fault. I misunderstood the fact that shipping was starting on Monday as indication that all of these would be sent out yesterday, when it simply meant shipping would start on Monday. I'm working on fixing the communication process so that we message ahead of time when issues come up, and so we ensure we have accurate information to you (to prevent adhoc updates like this!). That new communication process is starting up next week - it may not be perfect out the gate, but I know it will be much better than what we've done recently, and I'll be making sure we continue to get better. Sorry for the issues and confusion I caused in the meantime.
I'll provide an update on Thursday (9/14) with a status on what % of the orders have shipped.

Hey all - I wanted to share a quick (and overdue) update on the Dasher & Dancer drop. All planned units have reached our warehouse and are being prepared to ship out this Monday (the 11th). If you haven’t already responded to previous emails and wish to cancel your order, you have until Sunday 9/10 to cancel it by going to your transactions page and clicking ‘Cancel Order’ on the Dasher & Dancer drop. As we previously mentioned, the issue from this drop came from delayed production lines at our partner, Signature Plastics. Again, we’re sorry for the disappointment and delay. Beyond that, I also want to apologize for the poor and inconsistent messaging we’ve provided around the delays with this drops. Problems will happen from time to time, but it’s unacceptable for us to not provide clear, regular, and transparent updates on what’s going on. Again, I’m sorry - we can and will do better here. I’m updating our process for messaging on our Massdrop Made drops. If you have feedback on what you’d like to see from us, please feel free to reply here. Thanks for the feedback and patience.

I'm really sorry to hear that!
Did you receive a separate email recently that says it shipped? The tracking number on my "Transactions" page is still the old one, and despite my keys being delivered on Saturday, still says "Label Created." However, the tracking number in my email was correct, and that one does say that it was delivered.

Hey everyone,
I recently returned from Signature Plastics and have an update on the Dasher & Dancer set.
We expect all the keycaps to be completed and sorted by the end of August - the delay that pushed back the SA production lines earlier this year is still affecting orders (although we believe this is the last SA order on our end that will be affected by this delay).
We will be sending out opt-in emails to everyone that's joined this drop please keep an eye in your inbox - we've set the opt-in deadline to 9/15/17. If you've not responded after that date, your order will be automatically cancelled.
We've also set the expected ship date to 9/29. While these keycaps may actually ship about two weeks before that, we only have once chance to communicate the new expected ship date must cancel all orders if this new date is missed.
We wanted to thank @zslane for his awesome design and the community for everyone's patience and support. We will keep everyone updated if anything else happens.

Yes, same thing. It is more apparent with the Taboo because of the contrast between both colors. It is less noticeable, but presents, with my other maxKeys set (Portland) as the keys are darker.

I'm fairly certain the fulfillment process chugs along without Yanbo; it's just that he isn't around to post formal updates to this discussion page.
As I understand it, the keycaps are in MassDrop's hands and they are in the process of being sorted and packed as we speak. As to how long it will be before shipments go out is anyone's guess, but I'd hazard to guess it is only a matter of days at this point.
I will say that I've not been informed of any errors or problems with the keycaps, and had there been any serious issues of that nature, I believe I would know by now.

JohnRCooperI'm not upset or anything, but this drop has just been pretty terrible with updates. I mean 2 weeks ago TheNest had to update everyone about it being shipped to Massdrop and no formal update was ever had or at least to my knowledge.

I just sent this message to MD customer support :
As you can see in the picture, the 5 key legend is higher than the rest and the 6 key legend is lower. Next to each other in the middle of the keyboard those two misaligned keys are throwing off the visual balance of the keyboard. The C key is also off center horizontally with more space on the left than the right. You should have those 3 keys (5, 6 and C) remade and replaced. You cannot simply continue to accept such stupid mistakes from Signature Plastics, otherwise they will just get worse in future projects. You must insist that they FIX this and pay for their own screw-ups. Those numeric keys are very obviously misaligned. At the very least, I want keys 5 and 6 replaced - I can live with the C key. Please teach Signature Plastics to be more attentive to detail ... Make them FIX THIS!

I have the exact same line on my F (deep dish) key but it's much less pronounced than yours - my line is much fainter.
I don't have any of the other keys to compare except Esc which doesn't have any marks.

My sets arrived and have some questions. Do I contact Massdrop directly or do I post publicly?

@cps_goodbuy No, contact them via the support form. They don't always see all comments on discussion and you may be missed. Then you can post their reply here if you want everyone to see it for whatever reason.

New shirt and coffee shot you will receive. With patience of course, that you must wait.
Make no mistake, that the wait will pleasure your inner delight.

ViraWhy thank you good sir. I will enjoy the anticipation of this wait. For the time being, I will brew myself a nice cup of zilch.
