Is it still possible to get Miami keycaps?
« on: Mon, 01 September 2014, 11:02:21 »
Every since I got my mech I've wanted a set of Miami keycaps, but they were all sold out at techkeys. Anyone know where I can get a similar set or other similarly outrageous/odd sets?

CtrlAlt said they will do a mini buy for the Miami set, but I have no idea when.

GMK Miami possibly happening, wait a bit and see what happens

May just end up being a mini buy with cherry legends

Meh, I like the Cherry legends fine but I'd really like to see the GMK Miami colors and cap thickness.

Agreed, although I think if they where made via GMK the set would be darker than the SP version due to the differences in colours (assuming they would use the pink and teal that has been used in other GMK GB's!

It won't be (if it's a mini buy)

GMK MOQ is FAR too high

Well Cherry legends would still be an improvement, would it be possible (in such a mini buy) to have an ISO enter key with a legend on it?

If GMK can make the contrast between the two colours better, I suspect 200 MOQ is feasible.
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

I thought the GMK CMY Esc key group came out looking good. I didn't think there was contrast problem on the magenta/cyan. But I had other ideas like Miami Beach (cyan/magenta on beige) or Miami Nights (cyan/magenta on black) which I think would look better in the end.

To answer your question, this is why the classifieds exists. Post a WTB thread for the Miami set.
