Nice shot of the dye colors! Still prefer the beige keys over the grey though.

Thanks for the quick reply. The new board should be here in no more than 10 days. After I make sure all is ok with the board, Iwould like to paypal you the $17 (+ shipping?) for a set of the RED BLANK. How do I get you the order?

Some font comparisons vs. doubleshot Cherry

Font is a little fuzzy, but even the Cherry dye-subs are a little fuzzy. I think these are really impressive, if you ask me though...

These are very impressive. Looks like the letters are just a tiny bit on the small side. Dan can you take some comparison pics of the number keys?

DanGWanG · « **Reply #14 on:** Fri, 17 August 2012, 18:31:58 »

Yeah, I've got a thread up in keyboard keycaps right now, where I'll be taking some more comparison pics.

Pad print or laser+infill are two ways to do it. QWERkeys does a lot of the latter type, though I don't know if they'd be receptive to printing on customer-provided keycaps.

The reason dyesub doesn't work is that the keycap's plastic colour (already dyed) will block out any dye you sublimate into it. You'd only be able to do this by printing all but the legend, then either leaving the legend in "natural" PBT colour, or printing the area with lighter ink (and since the body is already darker you can go off without it being visible, thus getting rid of alignment issues.

I think it might be possible with the "3d" dyesub method exhibited earlier this year, though it'd be expensive for sure.

Hah, "not possible". I scoff at that. It's merely difficult. But so is doubleshot.

IMSTO...

A few weeks back, I asked about a 37 piece, blank red PBT keycap set for a Cherry board that I ordered. The keyboard was back-ordered, and I ended up cancelling the order. Thus, I never ordered what you offered me. Now I would like to get a Red set for my non-Cherry boards. I already tried the PBT set that Qtang (and you) carries, but they were way too pinkish. Lysol suggested that I ask you if you have a blank set of the funny lettered red set; that it might be "more" red (http://www.aikb.cn/image/26xiaoren/9.jpg.JPG). Yes, or anything else?

Just wanted to note that I received my order of the blue-on-blue keycaps yesterday and they are wonderful. Highly recommended.

Hey Imsto! I like the keys in this picture:

These can't be ordered as one set, can they? If not, do you have both the blue-on-white and the black-on-blue colors available?
Thanks!

Ok. I would like Cherry height and Cherry font if possible, but most importantly I want to get these colors in the same font and height. I will summarize to make sure I understand.

Black on Blue

Cherry font available
Cherry height available
OEM height available

Blue on White

Cherry font not available
mac font only
Cherry height not available
OEM height only

White on Black

Cherry font available
Cherry height not available
OEM height only

If I am correct, it is not possible to get more than one of these colors with both Cherry font and Cherry height. However, it looks like it is possible to buy Black-on-Blue and White-on-Black with Cherry font/OEM height.
If this is correct, how much would it be for these two sets, plus two sets of red small silica gel O-rings and shipping to US?

I got some Red on Gray a couple months ago that were "Cherry" profile. Now I think he only has the blues, which I ended up buying to go with the new GH caps.

Left-aligned capslock. The set also comes with a full touch, center stemmed capslock as well.

And no, the bottom keycaps do not do what the legends say, unless I program it to do that

Vintage · « **Reply #49 on:** Thu, 29 November 2012, 19:38:05 »

Ohhh. Thanks for clearing that up MMB. Nice board and RGB mods as well.

So IMSTO is only selling the black on blue sets now. Why? Is the Grey just out of stock or not coming back?
