[GB (almost) CANCELLED] BSP DYE SUB

[The_Beast]

Any idea of what legends are going to be used?

[agor]

These should be as close to original as it gets. Cherry Font.
Ansi only though...

[Dianoda]

I'm tempted to order a green set (BSP PBT w/ cherry legends = hot), are these ABCDEF profile?  Or ABCDEE?

Is there a source for modern looking 1x A profile winkeys?  What's the availability like for 7x A profile spacebars?

[kaiserreich]

Availability of 1.5 mods and they have the original legends, not community made copy. For those that want 1.5 this is the way to go, for those that want 1.25 I will be starting similar buy next week.

1.25 as in GMK or BSP?

Sets are ABCDEE profile

The sets include 1x A profile keys, but blank. I won't do any print on it this time. Maybe in future Gbuys it is an option to padprint the w8 logo or something.

I'm pretty sure Ivan is referring to round 2 of IMSTO thick PBT dye-sub sets w/ cherry replica font GB - round 1 was all white keys, 104 ANSI layout.  IIRC round 2 is new colorways on white keys w/ light gray (or maybe beige?) mods.  There was a preview of the new colorways in the round 1 thread.

BSP uses Cherry molds & legends. Desko caps were, indeed, made by BSP.

I was just wondering about the legend.

ex: would the shift say shift and have the symbol, or would it just be the symbol. Would the backspace say backspace or just have the symbol.....

When does this close BTW?

Symbols only would be dope. If that's feasible.

Very nice and definitely interested.  Looks like GB's on some PBT sets are coming, especially with the Cherry Admiration Club  .

Well BSP is definetly making it...

I accept their proposal of getting limited sets and no MOQ / setup cost with the condition of paying a "premium".

[pmh1410]

2- BSP PBT BLANK Classic 2-tone sets (102 caps, Grey&beige)

This sets also include two extra blank 1x keycap in A profile, hence a total of 102 keycaps

Price per set =  68,35€ (yesterday ----->55€ )

3- EXTRA PBT RGB Blank set

Price per set = 15,5€ (yesterday ------> 11€ )
***********************************

I don't understand at all.

Well explained @ the OP.

Update 04/05

BSP initial quotation for blank caps was based on  a MOQ 100. For this GB, and due to the "special" conditions given (NO MOQ, no set up cost) prices are different for RGB blank and Full set.

Is there any chance to have 1.75 RShift?

Guille BSP cannot do 1.75 right shift...but lets see if they decide to purchase new molds (spacebars, 1.25x mods & 1.75 row4 mold). This kind of orders or Red-Line groupbuy, makes them understand that there is an existing demand for MX keycaps, so hopefully they will decide to invest in few new MX molds. But from now, 1.75 right shift is not available.

That makes sense. I thought they did have the tooling to produce those keys. Well was just for knowing if I could be using the full sets in some layouts or just stick to the classic ones.

I really like the idea of 1x Blank A profile keys.

We should expect those keys to be produced in the end of May and that's great. I guess I should place a large order before Monday.

Indeed.  I will place the final order on monday and the due date to pay bills is going to be, likely, becoming tuesday. BSP will start production from Monday on. ETA is expected for week 23

[sleepy916]

Just to make sure, the RGB only come in blank right?

[kboardvintage]

Yes, only blank.

[remedyhalopc]

can you provide a picture of what exactly each set will come with? trying to figure out a way to use these on a modern board.

[kboardvintage]

The set will have same layout as this kmac2: ANSI winkeyless TKL. So 1.5x modifiers, two 1x A-profile caps, in the pics those are the yellow caps. This GB offers them in grey and A-profile to match the modifiers color and profile.

[alixinhzai]

wow 1x keycap grey color :x

[sleepy916]

Is it going to have all that front printed text?

What do you mean? the TKL set?

Those will be like this one (excluding the numpad, so Tenkeyless sets)

[sleepy916]

Yeah in the picture I quoted, it had front text printed on. I'm glad it won't, a bit too busy looking for me.

[Dianoda]

Are the F+J keys scoops or nubs?

[Elrick]

Just paid my Bill now.  Looking forward to some Cherry Goodness from you kboardvintage  .

I use to spend heaps buying second hand 'crap conditioned' original dye-sub caps.  Now I want the REAL deal, meaning - new and perfect versions of these babies.

[kboardvintage]

Are the F+J keys scoops or nubs?

They don't have deep dish molds anymore. They changed to standard ones...so no, no F&J deepdished 

[kboardvintage]

Available unpaid orders.

If no one wants them I will be "stuck" with them...and to be sincere I cannot afford it right now.

[kboardvintage]

Order Paid.

Sets already in production! I will try to get pics next week (we have a long weekend here in Europe, atleast in DK and NL ^^)

[calavera]

I might take one red font set and one rgb set but not sure how the red fonts will look like so undecided.

Well really red-ish! Cherry red font on beige&grey will definetly look awesome...

[yearn4]

Do the f and j keys have scoop?

Damn kboardvintage, you move faster than a Tokyo Express Train  .

Looking forward to seeing the pictures next week.  Don't worry about long weekends just bust open a keg and enjoy the days.  Long weekends are made for drinking (especially here in Australia)  .

[kboardvintage]

No. BSP stopped using those molds long time ago 

[Rendom]

95.60 euro per set?

BSP gave me just 4 days for this GB due to an open spot in their production...I had to react fast!
Now BSP is fully aware of the reactio capacity of this great community and we got their trust. 30 DYESUB sets, 12 Blank & 15 RGB sets in less than 3 days is quite remarkable, considering the steep price and lack of pictures!!
Thanks to those who made it happen

Hey, we are already use to FAST Group Buys here on Geekhack.  Because it's from BSP we just had to have them.  I personally want to examine each key-set made by various companies so that we know who has the BEST quality  .

[sleepy916]

Pictures please? ;]

[kboardvintage]

Pictures please? ;]

BSP's dyesub film supplier was slightly delayed. It is expected that the first sets will be done by the end of the week. Will keep you guys informed with more news as soon as I get any from BSP.

Nice. looking forward to any potato pics on these babies.

[kboardvintage]

Well guys today I got a couple of pics of the BLACK sets (were the first sets done apparently). I requested pics of the rest of the sets. Hopefully I will get more pics tomorrow .
