I'll take one Esc and one RGB(Y), and if ISO will be available then I'll take an another Esc and an another ISO-RGB(Y) set.

I've updated the OP with more detailed instructions regarding left-hand Shift.  Please state whether you (A) are fine with regular ANSI 2.25x left Shift, (B) must have ISO left Shift to participate, or (C) would prefer ISO left Shift but will still participate without it (or (D) some other combination of need/want).

I don't think I've seen anyone asking for anything other than regular 1.25x Ctrl/Alt/Win, which is good.

Interested in 1-2 Esc, and perhaps 1 RGB set, shipped to USA. Whether it works out or not, thanks for putting this together, hashbaz!

2X Esc

Not sure about how good RGB looks on a keyboard yet!  But, I might want some later if I make up my mind.

End of third day.  We lost blainchen, but gained a lot of Escapes.  Totals now stand at around 60 Escapes and 30 RGB sets.

I've sent Melissa a preliminary email to let her know about the buy and ask about splitting the order between ISO and ANSI Shifts.

Maybe if we use the same shade of green as aggiejy for the shiftes, some of the people that bought an RGB in that GB may be interested in getting a ISO left shift. Of course the legend will look a bit different in this case, but it will be hard to notice, because the ISO shift is so short there's only room for the arrow.

I'm (B) but would definitely take 1,5 Control and Alt if available.
I would also take Alt Gr in 1,25 or 1,5 if available.

There are beautiful pictures here and on DT that may help you decide! :)
Personally, I'm no keyboard pimp. I'm not into rainbow keycaps nor glow-in-the-dark stuff or blue leds under clear 'caps. Not for me. But I do like a bit of color on my keyboard. I think RGB(Y) is a very nice solution. Moreover, it's a replica of a vintage cherry product, which makes it even better! :thumb:

Only the Esc are smaller, or does that apply to all SP keys?

The Cherry Corp Esc and the Signature Plastic Esc are QUITE different in how they look on the keyboard.

Weird sizing on the Signature Plastic Esc - a bit smaller than most in the horizontal dimensions.

Yeah, it won't mesh perfectly of course.  But neither do the moogle kits.  For me it's all about the font.  Bright red Escapes stand out, and it irks me to see "ESC" in all caps in SP's font when the rest of my keyboard is thick and Cherry-tastic.

This post by 7bit really made me wonder: what if reverse RGBY (color on black key) did actually look better?

That does seem like it could look awesome.  Maybe someone could do a mockup with a real photograph?  Problem there is we then have to agree on a base color for the keys.

I think black would be ideal (more contrast, and possibly black keys are more used overall), but then it would not mix well with beige cherry sets.

I'd be in for 3 or more ESC key.

I'd love a RGB on black DS (and a spare old school win-less set too on black DS to fit a soon to come custom 1800. I know I'm asking too much but hell with it. :D )

I like the idea of color on black, kind of like the old Model M numpad keys.

But I've bought too much keyboard crap already, and have recently branched out into obsessing about mice.

I'll probably pull out on this one since I'm probably going to checkerboard my 'board instead and won't need the extra colors.

I lost track, this is going to be an expedited group buy and won't be included in Group Buy 4 right? If so, I'm just going to cancel my order over there, and probably buy a set or something... I've got invoice 9

Yeah, this is not connected to Round 4 and should be finished much quicker.  What do you mean by invoice 9?

To be honest Hash: I think you should just do the Escape keys. If you want to do the RGB's then get what you want and try to not pick what everyone else wants.

It means I was the 8th person to place an order, which I'm sure doesn't mean anything but since I'm still in the group buy, I might as well pick something up.

So how many Esc key orders do we need to get this baby rolling?

You might be right.  We're not committed to doing anything yet -- it's just an interest check (though I will make sure we do at least the Escape).  I'll have numbers from Melissa shortly.

No, but based on how complicated the moogle legends were she can give a good estimate of final cost, including setup fee.
