You don't need paypal... you can pay a paypal invoice with a credit card.

Any idea how long the pre-sale will last?  Until all 10 are sold, yes, but any specific cutoff date?

Also, could you estimate shipping cost for one set to Australia please.

Thanks :)

And approximate postage to Australia, if you have a moment?

your legends are all italicized.

Is that how Vortex does it? Seems weird!

the price would have been attractive, but the italicizing... no interest from me.

Just say they are sold out and you'll probably have at least 5 people post saying they missed the deal and wished you had more, then you can 'find' a set!

Hey Boiler, can you bring a set of these to keycon? I'm interested in purchasing a set for my new Filco (Photoelectric's board). :) Off hand, how do these compare to the imsto thick dye subbed sets floating around?

These are the same in terms of the profile and thickness, but they are pure bright white, vs. IMSTO's being creamy off-white at the lightest.  Vortex font is in a cursive whereas IMSTO's PBT has a Cherry-imitation font.

They are these but with mixed gray modifiers.  Kind of a bluish gray.  The "WYSE" set.  Not sure if they were dyed to start with white--I believe they were.  Feng had a GB quite a while ago for various color combinations.  Info thread here with more photos and opinions.

rowdy suggested that this would be a nice key cap for my first mech keyboard(QFR with MX Blue)
How much do you think the shipping to Canada would cost?

EDIT: also interested in a wire key puller!

I will think about them and let you know :)

OT: If I add few more items would I get free shipping? (the website says $50+ = free shipping?)

I'm really tempted, but I've been told I'm not allowed to purchase any more keycap sets at the moment :(
