Lol! I actually don’t really want to part with mine either, at least not now. Seems someone has to stumble upon a warehouse full of dye subs if they’re that popular. This kind of surprises me, I don’t know what’s so special about them…

I’ll start visiting junkyards again. :-)

Cherry dyesub US or US/RU is pretty hard to come by, and expensive if you do. Lowest price I've seen on US set was $100, and $350-$500 for RU. They seem to be most common in German and Italian layouts. I definitely wouldn't mind one of the Olivetti Italian sets with blue legends.

By any chance, does anyone know if you can buy reasonably priced Cherry MX keyboards/keycaps with Russian fonts locally in Russia? So far I have not had much luck finding any shops online. I will have family travelling there soon though.

I had a set one of my Russian friends got for me. He had to look around for a few months... All the good sets are in Korea LOL.

lysol, may I ask you where you will make those caps from?
China? SP? QWERkeys?

He mentioned China.

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #36 on:** Wed, 30 May 2012, 09:55:42 »

Yes, China not sure what 'company' though. I'm arranging this through qtan. Got confirm on having both caps locks, still waiting to find out about 1.5 modifier.

snowboarder3 · « **Reply #37 on:** Wed, 30 May 2012, 21:38:16 »

I don't actually care for the RU legends at all. More to find a good manufacturer that isn't SP and to get more dyesub thick PBT so count me in!

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #38 on:** Fri, 01 June 2012, 10:33:20 »

1.5 modifiers are confirmed. Order away.

mbc · « **Reply #39 on:** Fri, 01 June 2012, 11:00:21 »

Are you thinking about doing/creating other styles if this is successful? Would be interested in a Korean / Chinese / other random Asian version just for the looks...

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #40 on:** Fri, 01 June 2012, 12:19:45 »

All depends on how successful this goes. If all goes well, keys turn out perfect maybe do some other language next. Not plain US though, will leave that to the other Cherry replica project.

jrockroll · « **Reply #41 on:** Sat, 02 June 2012, 16:54:31 »

I would like to see some winkeyless modifiers as well

Ordered 2 sets

I thought these were from imsto, but from someone through qtan is fine too, I just hope it doesnt turn out terrible and we can't do anything about it :<

thegunner100 · « **Reply #43 on:** Sat, 02 June 2012, 21:22:41 »

Is there an option for a set w/o the russian chars?

chaosstep · « **Reply #44 on:** Sun, 03 June 2012, 03:05:15 »

I'll participate in lol

snowboarder3 · « **Reply #45 on:** Sun, 03 June 2012, 05:08:42 »

what is MOQ on the set?

Taeyoung · « **Reply #46 on:** Sun, 03 June 2012, 07:49:06 »

lysol, I think if there is a stepped caps lock(off-centered) in the set, there would be more interests in Korean community.

Anyway, i'm in.

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #47 on:** Sun, 03 June 2012, 08:50:00 »

Set will come with both caps lock style - stepped and fulltouch, and both modifiers size 1.25 and 1.5. Should be compatible with every ANSI keyboard that use standard keysizes.
Already getting close to 100 sets in just these few days. Keep spreading the word.

Yes! Way to stick it to the man!

ChaoticKinesis · « **Reply #50 on:** Sat, 09 June 2012, 18:42:44 »

Any update? I really hope this set happens.

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #51 on:** Sat, 09 June 2012, 19:57:18 »

I figure I will let it run until July, should give enough time to get the number of orders up.

jdcarpe · « **Reply #52 on:** Sat, 09 June 2012, 20:05:31 »

I couldn't remember if I already ordered a set of these or not. Order sent for 1 set.

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #53 on:** Fri, 22 June 2012, 18:31:18 »

We need more orders. Can one of our Korean members post it on Korean forums (I'm not in the mood to wait 15 minutes for sites to load to see) if they have not done so?

tsangan · « **Reply #54 on:** Sat, 23 June 2012, 09:31:47 »

For the Korean keyboard community to be interested it needs to includes stepped caps, and winkeyless, also while dyesub is cool and all not all of them would want Cyrillic and when they do its usually they want the official ones.

What are we at anyways?

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #55 on:** Sat, 23 June 2012, 09:54:58 »

Set will include both style caps locks and both 1.25 and 1.5 modifier so should be good for any ansi board that use normal physical layout like G80-1000 or Filco MJ2. We are only at 80 sets so have not met for target price yet. Could try lower quantity order but would probably have to increase price. I would rather extend time frame for order than do that though.

tsangan · « **Reply #56 on:** Sat, 23 June 2012, 10:20:03 »

Whats the MOQ set at? If its a 100 it shouldn't be that hard

Lukasevic · « **Reply #57 on:** Sat, 23 June 2012, 10:26:11 »

I wish there was a 37 key

ChaoticKinesis · « **Reply #58 on:** Sat, 23 June 2012, 12:42:51 »

Well it's not exactly a 37 key set, since you'd need the alphabet keys and number row. Then there's the fact that I'm sure many people would want a full matching set.

Lukasevic · « **Reply #59 on:** Sat, 23 June 2012, 12:58:28 »

What do you actually "need" the number row for, besides a matching set? :rofl:
