BSP is like the GMK of PBT right?

how exactly do they differ from imsto?

I am not here to pick any fights.  Originative will come out with nearly the same style keycaps in 2 weeks.  The idea is the same, black on black like the Realforce.  I am not saying you copied ours, but please know that we are not copying yours.  Get ready for Black Friday. :)

Thanks for being transparent about this! I assume your set will be a little more expensive than the set Ivan is offering?

This basically means interest will be split between people who want it fast and people who want it as cheap as possible. This might make it even harder for this GB to reach a MOQ of 400. Of course this isn't your nor Ivan's fault.

@ Ivan

Since this is done via IMSTO again: Is there a possibility to fix the capslock issue from last round? In a perfect world I want a matching key for every design we ordered, but I would also be content with a generic capslock key with black legends or a blank one.

Can you please check what possibilities there are? Thanks! I feel IMSTO owes us something since he didn't deliver what we actually ordered and paid for...

Not to speak for Ivan, but I'm fairly certain a same color stepped and non-stepped caps lock is attainable for blank sets. For example, just looking at the blank white/grey/blue sets everything is consistent. In terms of what I'm assuming will be dark charcoal with black legends, the stepped and non-stepped caplocks should be the consistent as well. Judging by the dyesubbed sets that have been made so far, when the base keycap color is all the same, there are no problems. When it's the white/beige two tone colorway, that's when things get iffy like the factory is too lazy to produce a beige non-stepped caplocks because they have to set up the machines all over again (just my theory).

On another note in terms of MOQ, I believe the 400 can be reached. We're not taking about GMK packs/combinations we have to piece together that will total over $100 easily (Not to hate because I love GMK goodness). Each set is under $100 and contains everything a person needs to fill their keyboards. My guess is, many may come out of lurking and newer members won't have to hesitate to participate in this; they're simple black keycaps. They won't have to worry about if whether or not they got the correct language set or question if the set will come with a spacebar. It's all there :thumb:

Any chance of having 4 more top row blanks?

+1 would love 4 extra blank keys for my ducky

I would also be interested in some keys from the blank set to get extra keys for ISO. I guess we could split a set accordingly :)

If MOQ is 400 then why not go with BSP? If it is because they don't have 1.25 mods or something weird then just get those from imsto and everything else from BSP.

Is BSP  better?

BSP has 1.5x mods so one who use 86/84 layout will want to stick with BSP

Someday I might try ordering with BSP but they lack keys most people want/need for average keyboard and are a lot more expensive.

Still the 400 MOQ heh?

(Mainly posting to keep tabs of the thread and any updates to this. I'd be in if other languages are added.)

Edit: The blank set is only missing 4 keys to cover ISO. I get why it won't be possible to make it happen for the set with legends.

I don't think that this is possible with the dyesub process. You can only make the printing darker, not lighter than the keycap colour.

As before ISO isn't possible because they don't have mold for the ISO enter to make the keys. I tried to offer ISO without the enter last time and there was almost no interest. I've hunted high and low for a solution, and the only one presently would be to use ABS from GMK. No one else seems to have Cherry profile ISO enter besides Cherry (or whatever 3rd party makes their keycaps which they won't say) who absolutely refuse to sell keycap only.

It's going to be dark enough to call black, but still allow printing a few shades darker black. The printing will be very very subtle.

I might be one of the few who wants it basically invisible.
*fingers crossed it's not too light for my tastes*

Edit: Hey Ivan, should I place an order for 2 blank sets now, and another for a printed set later, or just hold out and do it all at once.

I doubt that very much.
It's a good width!  If it's half-width it's too narrow, and full-width is too wide.

Meh, guess I'll pass then. My next best hope is to find a set of DSA PBT caps with this kind of lettering--DSA rows are all the same, so I don't have to care much about the "layout".

As with the last Dvorak set(s) made, I will buy some if they are offered.

Hopefully the printing will be straighter this time.

Well, IMSTO has a similar one just like ProjectD said, the VORTEX.
But according to some of my chinese friends, it has a poor quality. After a few weeks using, the legends on keycaps disappeared, which is ridiculous for dyesub keycaps.

I don't get this. You don't have to pay any money right now. Invoices will be sent after MOQ was reached.

If everybody did this we would never reach MOQ...

If you are so sure about ordering please just submit your order now. If anything changes in a couple of weeks you can still cancel it  :thumb:
