Due to high price and rarity of the original, I decided to organize a group buy to have replicas made. These will be done on dyesub Cherry profile thick pbt keys, just like the real thing. All 104key full sets, will be on all white 'hellgrau' style with 1.25 mod only and both style caps lock stepped and fulltouch for total of 105 keys. Should be compatible with most keyboard that follows standard ANSI 104 layout.

Legend Choices and pricing:
1. All-White PBT Keycaps blank ($50 + shipping)
2. All-White PBT Keycaps with BLUE Cherry-font US legends ($75 + shipping)
3. All-White PBT Keycaps with BLACK Cherry-font US legends PLUS Russian legends in RED ($75 + shipping)
4. All-White PBT Keycaps with BLACK Cherry-font US legends PLUS International legends in BLUE ($75 + shipping)
5. All-White PBT Keycaps with BLACK Cherry-font US legends w/ RGB text on shift/ctrl/alt ($75 + shipping)
6. All-White PBT Keycaps with BLACK Cherry-font DVORAK legends ($75 + shipping)
7. All-White PBT Keycaps with BLACK Cherry-font US legends PLUS Hangul legends in RED ($75 + shipping)

Very cool, I was looking for something like this.

[tsangan]

Only $85? Very nice price

[Djuzuh]

Didn't know  so many people talked russian on this forum.

[demik]

who's going to make them? sp?

[IvanIvanovich]

Chinese production, just like imsto's. I won't use SP anymore for anything I run.

[leehunz]

Wow, Cherry Russian dyesub replica! $85! Cool man!

I am wondering if there is someone else except imsto can make high-quality thick dyesub keycaps in China.

I know there are others but imsto is the easiest to contact

Side note you are doing stepped caps off centre stem or centre stem, I'm not sure if imsto has stepped centre stem capslock

[demik]

if it possible to NOT have a pbt spacebar?

i have yet to see a straight unwarped pbt spacebar come from anybody.

You may use a hairdryer to straighten a pbt space bar.

I plan for full touch (flat) centered stem, but can look into adding stepped off center Cherry style caps also if enough want them.

Yes please, winkeyless is key!

You will get a lot more orders from foreign members especially OTD and/or KBDMania also GH is slowly migrating to winkeyless also, as you can see from recent GBs where the tsangan kit has been a huge hit!

[hashbaz]

I'm VERY interested to see how these turn out.  Not really looking for a Russian set, personally, but GLWGB lysol.  A standard Cherry dyesub replica set would be awesome to do in the future.

Why do people hate the Windows key?

[IvanIvanovich]

I will check on possibility of 1.5 mods too. Though if profile and base cap color and print matches like I hope, mix this set and vintage keys should look not very noticeable if it's not possible to get 1.5 from source.
PLEASE fill the form instead of commenting +1 interest in here and so on. I make the form so I don't have to count posts so I know when MOQ is hit easy. THANKS!

[Djuzuh]

Why do people hate the Windows key?

because they think it's useless and 1.5 modifiers are better.

But I like mine !

[tsangan]

You can have winkeyless keyboards (1.5x mods) and still have a 1x winkey, ie tsangan kit

lysol, I am interested and would fill out the form but I don't want to skew your results as I am only interested if winkeyless is possible, do you want me to still fill it out? Since if in the end winkeyless is not possible I don't want your MOQ to be off

If it's just 1.25x I completely understand btw if you want to keep it simple, but just a suggestion and I also think you will get more orders with winkeyless option/add-on/huge base kit

[demik]

Why do people hate the Windows key?

because we can use that

[IvanIvanovich]

You can still use that with 1 unit Windows and menu keys, best of both. I don't know guys... is it really so hard to use above or similar if you want winkeyless? It's so very easy to find 1.5 modifier keys.

dyesub is key, having a full set is key

but all up to you

[IvanIvanovich]

Well it's all up to if source have 1.5 option... I will find out. If so, it will get added to every set, not add on option. MOQ is a killer.

Sounds good to me I will check back for updates

Agreed!

I have yet to see a warped one. All Cherry and IBM spacebars I have are perfectly straight.

Very easy with 1.5 mods. I found a set on a junkyard.

[Zehkul]

Have you ever seen a warped spacebar from Cherry?

Oh and of course you can fix them yourself. I had to do that with a Zowie spacebar (not PBT, still warped)

Cherry Dyesubs? Please find me some then, because it's not easy here in NA

[longweight]

I am very interested but it would be good to get a finalised set first.

[Zehkul]

I doubt I could find an ANSI one here in Germany. :-) Plus t!ng is already selling a German one, I think.

It might actually not be that easy, I suppose, I’m just spoiled here xD (I found a model m, too… saved it from getting recycled)
