This group buy is now closed! Get ready to the 2nd round! More are coming!

So a guy who lives in the same city with me has some metal key caps here made by zinc.

There are two colors available as gold and silver. They are colored by plating (or called electroplating in English?).

Also two types of keys as blank and legends ones are available. The legends ones are made by laser.

All orders have been shipped out! I will keep taking orders until the 2nd round of this group buy since I still have some stock left.

UPDATE: I'm sorry to let you guys know that the R4 blank key caps, Arrow key sets and 37 blank key sets are not available this time because it's close to Chinese New Year and there's not enough workers in the factory. They might be available in the 2nd round of this group buy. Probably in the middle of Fabruary. Now only a few of the R4 blank ones were made and I will ship them to those who first made the payment.

UPDATE: Blank 1.25 Modifier Keys become available!

1) 37 Blank Silver Key Caps (37 keys included)  $82 Not in Stock.

2) 37 Blank Gold Key Caps (37 keys included)  $82 Not in Stock.

3) 37 Legends combined set (33 gold keys and 4 silver arrow keys) $85

4) 37 Legends Silver Key Caps (37 keys included)  $85

5) 37 Legends Gold Key Caps (37 keys included)  $85

6) WASD Key Caps (4 keys included) $15

8) Blank 1.25 Modifier Key Caps (Windows row) (Gold and Silver are available)  $6.75 for each

He made some modifiers but those are sold out. And now since it's closed to Chinese New Year, he can't make that many keycaps. So I think the modifiers should be available in the future.

Can you please clarify which keys are included in the 37-piece kit? By my count there are 33 keys in the center of the keyboard, leaving 4 keys to account for. This could be 4 arrow keys or it could be 1 Esc key and 3 blank "super" and "meta" keys. I'd like to know which so I can order correctly. Thanks! :)

No mentioning of poisoning?

When there was the lead-poisoning-through-keycaps discussion, people went mental.

And in recent years, zinc poisoning is way more common... especially ripster with his ripometer should know about the pennies made around 20-30 years ago.

Where are the people who nearly got a heartattack from thinking about keycaps made out of any metal?
