I still know of quite a few people who would like to order some transparent covers (myself included). As for the other colors, I've been waiting to get my hands on some green ones!

cool, but are you guys interested in MX RGB? that is a complete transparent switch supporting 3 pin LED

[nubbinator]

Not interested in MX RGB at all.  Corsair is just too expensive for the quality and the fact that they insist on nonstandard layouts so you have a hard time getting cap sets that work. 

If they're as clear as the last bunch, I'd definitely get some.  I also would kill for purple or magenta covers.

for any new color, we need 10.000 MOQ

Will abostudio maybe change there materials to use something that is not so brittle?
If they make some with the strength of an original cherry switch top like a Nixdorf switch then I would buy more.

But the ones I bought from round one are basically one time use only.
They are very hard to remove from the switch without breaking and sometimes they break when removing keycaps.

This is exactly how I feel about RGB.

That's weird. The R1 ones I bought have no problem coming off and have never broken while changing caps. Hell, mine have actually been taken off 3-4 times already on some switches with no problem.

sorry about your situation, i have no idea why that is happening.
also thanks for ur advice!

do you use the_beasts switch tools with them?
It is really easy to break them with those tools.

IMSTO thick pbt caps were very easy to rip the stem right through the top.

I would be very interested in getting transparent switch coves as I don't have any intention of getting MX RGB, but would love the transparent covers

[b7ad]

Would be very interested in these, been trying to source some for a long time. 

[LechnerDE]

I am interested, but if I am not mistaken there were some slight issue with the covers from the previous round (not perfectly sitting on top of the original switch housing).

Are these switch covers identical to the previous rounds or were they changed?

i believe that every round there are some changes to these covers. it is not my job but abostudio's to improve them and in fact abostudio is always.

[domoaligato]

I believe that it will be quite a while before rgby switches take over the market and a quite a few people still want these.

[kinruan]

how much clears do you guys really need? about 5k? last round totally runs about 6k

[kinruan]

bump

Hi, I just wanted to express my interest in this GB.

I want these transparent switch tops, and no colour.

[Karura]

Just to add on to the post, I think transparent switch tops will always be more in demand than coloured ones, due to LED diffusion... so I really hope you order some of them.

When are you planning to start the GB?

[quochung1989]

wanna clear top housing but not much around 200

[Karura]

I would order about 200 as well.

+1

Any updates on how this is coming along?

[primitiveType]

I would be interested in one pack of transparent. If there's no transparent, I'm interested in Blue transparent.

[Joey Quinn]

I'd buy transparent if it's available but if it isn't I'd get white and blue.

[pichu23]

I'm looking for around 100 ish. if that's alright. Transparent is possible. But will be open to other options.

[adrl]

Will be down for some clears if the price is right.

[Barracuda]

Any update on this? Interested in clear ones

[Karura]

I think we have more than enough interest and people for the GB. Is OP still around?

[Heliosphere]

Bumping this. Interested in some transparent covers. I read that the covers are relatively thin and flimsy compared to stock covers - is it true?

[scubaste]

I'm interested in clear or maybe some purples/blues.
