Yes they have a very white white, use it for legends at least on black keys etc... but I don't think it will match with as much sets out there as the off white/light beige color.

Ah, because the Filco and Leopold white keycaps are off-white a little bit, right? I just have WASD and KBC PBT whites and they're pretty true white.

I don't understand why they would do things like that. It's like "hey guys, how about we release a white keyboard? NO! NO, WAIT... OFF-WHITE!"

Looks like SOLID is winning by a landslide. If going for new molds, increase the per key cost to $5.50 each, still includes shipping.

Questions: How many of you want these for a Poker keyboard? In my original intention the suit colors makes sense, but not so nice looking all together maybe with red, blue, tan, black. You using them more on other board? Maybe do proper red and black only?

I don't think that most people are getting them to match their switch colors since most people seem to be ordering one of each. I think there's really two ways to look at it:

1. Use black and red only. The two red keys would serve the same purpose, such as both being control, and the two black keys would serve the same purpose, such as both being alt.

2. Use four different colors. You'd then probably do a running suit of cards on the right alt, meta, right super and right control keys.

I think I like the second way a bit more, which is more for looks than for function. You could do the second way with just black and red too, but I think the different colors would be more eye catching. Regarding the color for the club, brown is good to match the switch color but if we aren't going for the switch color match then I think that green is better. Green is the color used in four color decks of cards (as pictured above). Green is a also just a nicer color than brown and the club is also sometimes referred to as a shamrock/clover so it suits it well in that regard too.

Good thoughts. I would like to see some more opinions, but I don't think another poll is necessary. Need to make sure it's what people are wanting, since I am already taken care of from round 1, this is for you guys. I'm just the coordinator.

Just black/red please, no more RGB :P

But if you decide on the colour one, do it RGBY instead of the black

I don't think yellow will look so good on off white either. Light color on light color is usually not too nice to see.
I think it's best to either stick to the original black, blue, red, tan; or black and red classic only, no other different colors.

I've got a Poker I'm planning to use them on but as long as the keys come out looking good I don't really care if they match the original colors used by KBC.

Simple legends nearly ensure they come out looking good. I think the last round looked pretty good asides from the blue and brown being darker than I wanted. Looks like we might be going with classic red and black then, unless a bunch of people tell me they hate that idea. I think some people wanted that last time too... where you people?

I'd rather the coloured ones personally but would still be happy with black and red if it came down to it.

PM'd. Please confirm that large order with a payment. I'm not going to count it until then, no offense.

About the $5.5 per key including shipping. An extra key still costs $5.5?

There are a few reasons for this, first it makes my life easier to have 1 price for caps, includes shipping, cost of packing materials. Second, some places cost more to send than others for whatever reason. Third, if there is a gross overage, I will refund it and did so last time for some people that had larger orders. I feel it's easier for me to give a refund, than get people to give me more money if it costs more.
I hope that makes sense, and answers your question.

I'm not too okay with that, guess I'll skip out on this then

Without an order of any sort knowing how many keys are being ordered, and charging $5.50 a key and $5.50 for an additional key is kinda overpriced?

It definitely could be that price, but at the same time, it could be a lot less

I'm gonna pass, I like the keys. But I can't agree with the way you are running it.

Hey, that's fine. I'm just trying to make sure I don't loose money doing another buy. I did last time, not a lot, but I don't want to again.

If you don't want to participate, that is fine. If veteran GB organizers have some tips for me, I am more than happy to listen. If someone else wants to take this over, they are more than welcome.
