ZOMG Imsto Dyesub Group Buy: Leftovers Available!

[Ragnorock]

Please see this post for leftover sale information, and check the end of the thread for the latest information. The below information is not up to date.


Henceforth, the original form shall be known as "Form 1" and the new one as "Form 2." Please use those terms when asking questions.

Several new keys have been added, namely the SC2 League keys, an SC2 logo key and a Pac Man Dot key. In addition, ZXCV versions of popular keys from Form 1 have been made, and the 8 Bit Cherry key is also being offered independently of the Pac Man Set. It is available in the Esc row version only.Images of the new keys here:


**Original text of OP** I have not updated anything aside from the current order list in a while. Some information may be outdated.

Form 1 has been finalized. You may update your order by PM'ing me.

This is a reboot of Changdrew's ill fated group buy that has been delayed for far too long. I am well aware of the large number of rustled jimmies surrounding that, but with this, I hope we can move on. It is my understanding that the vast majority of people did actually get all their money back, which is good. To combat any question over how serious I am about getting this done, I have already purchased 2000 Row 5 (Function row) 1x WFJ PBT keys from SP. (Picture below) As previously decided upon, we get to use PBT that matches the previous sets I and other members have run, and get to put designs on them that we wouldn't normally thanks to Imsto. I have already discussed with him how this group buy will work, and once we get the majority of orders in I will be mailing the keys to him for production, and he'll print em up and ship em back to me for distribution.


Side note/mini rant about thick PBTs and why we aren't just having Imsto do everything. Thickness of the keys has nothing to do with the durability, and has no appreciable effect other than the sound. These will not wear out, and I've stood all ~200 lbs of my weight on one and it hasn't deformed in the slightest. These are top of the line PBT keys. I prefer the shape and sound of them, others don't. At the end of the day, Imsto doesn't have WFJ, so that's that.


Prices will remain the same as before, $3 per key, with some extra price breaks for key sets. I have elected to offer an extremely large assortment of key designs, so please order them to make it all worthwhile!

[Zehkul]

Yay! Now, what keys I know of/have are WFJ? I’m rather interested in matching colours, recently.

[pasph]

More Pokemon keys!
Some Yu-Gi-Oh! (nobody makes them)?

[singaporean123]

would love to see individual pictures of the keys before I order..

[MissMurd3r84]

I am refraining from purchasing such keys. *Ponies are bad. Bad ponies, bad. Damn it. Good luck with it all

*The pony keys look great.

[Acanthophis]

Side note/mini rant about thick PBTs and why we aren't just having Imsto do everything. Thickness of the keys has nothing to do with the durability, and has no appreciable effect other than the sound.

Oh sure, they DO have another appreciable effect. I'm not talking about thickness rather overall look of the key itself.
The thick PBT (also Cherry's 2shots/PBT) are edged pretty sharply whereas SP's keycaps are round.
I (and I'm sure there are other) dislike it. Similar as I dislike the round corners of the Leopolds vs Filcos.
I know this is a negligible aspect, but still an aspect. Depending on personal taste, though.


Your sentence is misleading on that part (or rather it's not mentioned at all).
But yeah, other than that, PBT is PBT.

[Vyr1s]

Aww no Adventure Time?

[iArson]

Deep down I'm tempted to get the MLP sets

[Halverson]

Aww no Adventure Time?

Somebody get some images up please. Lets get some AT love going for this buy!

Selective quoting for the lose. If you read on... "I prefer the shape and sound of them, others don't."

I'm pretty sure that qualifies as shape, and it does mention this is personal preference and is subjective.

would love to see individual pictures of the keys before I order..

As with most group buys, that probably isn't going to happen. I'll see what I can do once we get some orders in though.

Yay! Now, what keys I know of/have are WFJ? I’m rather interested in matching colours, recently.

Off the top of my head:
Portal, all rounds
Nyancat, all rounds
The dyesubs from the meme key group buy (trollface, anon, etc)

It is also a very close match to doubleshot WFK, which is used in red alert, and the upcoming like a sir set.

[Acanthophis]

Oh, I guess I stopped reading there and started hammering my keyboard. My bad, then.
Just too much unstructured text for a simple GB

[The_Beast]

B set should be named "Mane 6"

[SmallFry]

I was thinking that Set A was MissMurd3r84's MLP Set, and the Set B was The_Beast's MLP Set since it was their avatars in each set, respectively. I won't be buying, but just offering suggestions.

[Turbo Slaab]

Wu-tang killa bees!

[telepete]

Did you remove TMNT and Pacman and leave in the pony keys? Fail.

[Ragnorock]

Make some images then. I'd need to get some backspace keys for the Pac man key though.

[esoomenona]

Ther are a lot of good Pac Man ideas in this thread.

[The_Beast]

I was thinking that Set A was MissMurd3r84's MLP Set, and the Set B was The_Beast's MLP Set since it was their avatars in each set, respectively. I won't be buying, but just offering suggestions.

I can only speak for myself about your suggestion:


As much as it flatters me, I'd rather have B named "Mane 6" since it includes the mane 6 + their cutie marks (spike doesn't count)

Aww no Adventure Time?

Yes to this too ^___^

K, Set B is Mane 6, set A is "supporting characters" until you guys come up with something better.


As for Adventure Time... here is what I'm trying to say:
I took a couple of the images from the previous group buy, which in theory look great at their size... but scale them down to the size an actual keycap is and it becomes an amorphous blob. I'll put em in anyways if you guys want, but you have to recognize that they will probably come out looking like this and that's what you're paying for.

[rainbowshy]

Sorry if this is obvious, but are these for the function row that SP calls row 5?

[Ragnorock]

Yeah these are function row 5.

[SurgeonKyle]

Oh boy, gonna get me that Mane 6 set, and I'd be ludicrously interested in seeing the adventure time keys become a reality as well. Good stuff.

[theOwlol]

Pac man keys was the reason why I joined Changdrew's group buy 

[CKTofu]

In for the Mane 6 set and the 3 starting Pokemon+Pokeball!

[aznsilvrboy]

Sorry for noob question, but will the Pikachu keycap will fit on my Filco MJ2 function row?

[mickd]

Yep. They will sit a little lower than the keys that can with your Filco though. These keycaps (made by SP) are a slightly different profile to the them.

[Ragnorock]

Pac man keys was the reason why I joined Changdrew's group buy 

I'll work on em.

[mickd]

Yeah, personally I was pretty excited about the pac man keys too. But there are still plenty of other keys I intend to order!

[The_Beast]

I know I'm going to have more than one order if AT and pac man caps are added

[inlikeflynn]

sweet, glad to see the MLP set will finally get made! My daughters will be so excited to get these for their keyboard

[rowdy]

I like the idea of the Minecraft ones, especially if ther was a bit more variety as I tend to put my tools in the same slots accessed with 1..0 keys, but I don't think I will be able to buy any for a while.  Too many other things already on the list.

[jdcarpe]

Need moar Pac Man, yo. Then this GB will be full of win.

[tobr1an]

Need more sc2 keycaps! Like infestor,tanks,marines,banshee,dark templar etc...

[iArson]

The things i would do for an entire set of Banelings dancing...

[Scirocco]

Order submitted!

[Makeo]

Digging the pokemon, minecraft and umbrella caps. In for those and possibly more that come out! Just need to let my bank account recover from my last buys  .

[Turbo Slaab]

First GB! Woot Woot!

Dumb question: If you end up adding more styles, do you want the people that already ordered to put in another order if they are interested?

[Ragnorock]

They can send me a PM to have me update their order. Its easiest that way.

[Turbo Slaab]

That's what I figured, but wanted to make sure. Thanks man!

[Wheeton]

I'm so glad this is back up. Those Pokémon caps are great.

[rindorbrot]

Can you give a rough ETA for these keys based on your experience with imsto?

[Ragnorock]

Turnaround will probably be about a month or so. I'm not certain though.

[Zehkul]

sweet, glad to see the MLP set will finally get made! My daughters will be so excited to get these for their keyboard

Yes, we all need keys for our daughters!

Off the top of my head:
Portal, all rounds
Nyancat, all rounds

It is also a very close match to doubleshot WFK, which is used in red alert, and the upcoming like a sir set.

Thanks, gotta think now …

[Ragnorock]

Coolio, a couple of days and we're already over 300 keys. Should be just about right for the deadline. Putting up the Pac Man keys now. Pac man is going to be an esc key without the dots, but you'll survive right? Anyone who has ordered and wants me to update it let me know via PM please.


Dave out.

[kmiller8]

Rag, could you also do this alternate 8-bit Cherry cherry I made

[esoomenona]

^Yes, please. I really liked that as part of the Pac Man deal, but would definintely take it solo.

[aznsilvrboy]

Can shipping to Canada for one keycap be cheaper than $3.50?

[Ragnorock]

That cherry key render is directly from the last group buy, if you guys would prefer it, I'd like to use that instead since you have the art for it. Know what I mean?

It doesn't really matter how many keys you get... thus its always been more economical to get more keys! My shipping prices are identical to everyone else's for a reason- they're about what cost is.

[esoomenona]

I, for one, would much prefer kmiller8's Cherry key.
