[Interest Check] Cherry G81 Doubleshots with RGB Sets
« on: Thu, 30 June 2011, 23:39:05 »
I managed to source for a few sets of Cherry DS keys (about 5, or maybe more, depending on the interest) of the G81 keyboard (keycaps only) and these come in default with the RGB sets.


Anyone interested in a set?
Edit 1: Forgot to mention that these are about 90% new and lightly used, definitely not brand new.

Tentative price given was US$35/set but I have negotiated down to US$30/set if we manage to make 5 orders.

Shipping from Malaysia is about USD$10 for a 500g normal sized air parcel and will take 15 days.
Shipping using EMS service is about USD$30 and will take 3-5days.

I recommend someone in the US to take order for everyone and distribute from there.
(if bulk of the order goes there)

So, reply if interested!
I'm still asking the source for other types of cherry keys but not sure if people would be interested in buying them - like this: (no idea how much they cost, but shouldn't be more than US$2 each?)

If there are any more I'd be interested in 2 sets.

It sounds like the supply might be limited to 10 though.

All right, for those who are asking, may I ask those who bought 2 sets to just limit themselves to 1 set because many others are asking.

Once the 1st group buy ships, maybe we can ask for more but for now, it is limited to 10 sets.

(I ordered 10 and this is not cheap, about US$400 and I had to fork all these out myself)

Well, if you absolutely insist...but that means I'll have to join round 2 again, paying shipping twice. :(

Erm, I am not sure but I get the impression that people are angry because I only gave 10 sets.
bear in mind that this was not a profit-driven group buy but only because I wanted 1 set and the price would be lower if we ordered more.

Unsure of the interest in mind, I just ordered 10 sets at first (due to financial limitations) and see how it goes from there.

If there are enough orders for the 2nd round and there are still stock left, I can order again I guess. (tentative)

Just keep to the list and make another list for round 2, I'm sure another 10 won't be a problem.

Contact the seller and ask if another 10 would be possible.

We can go from there.

A PM has been sent to all of you guys.. let me know if you all want the stuff to be sent in one packet to US and redistributed from there.

Just for information purposes, these photos are all colour-accurate as far as I am concerned (on my calibrated Dell U2410) and compared with real-life photos.
All of the RGB keycaps are still in good order and do not seem to be in any broken down condition.
The general condition of the keycaps are a little bit yellowish and some scuffs here and there.

Considering how cheap the keycaps are (for doubleshots!), the final pricing are:
US$30 + US$8 shipping total to my place in Malaysia.

So each set costs US$38.

The RGB keycap sets:







Some of the function keys and colored keycaps:



My own special order, hehe:
