Oh nice!
I would love for GMK to try this with black POM base and "white" POM legends, Cherry profile... drool..
They light up the symbols but not the numbers? Not sure I would like that.Oh ... thanks for remind O.o||
Memo to Deck Keyboards - this is a proper legend for your keycaps, not the ugly one you currently use on your US lineup.

Actually I still don't like that this board spells out control and uses the word win for those keys... Ugly...

I kinda like seeing "win" on a key, it's fun.
I didn't realize it before, but those laser engraved ducky pbt keycaps are on massdrop right now. Really, they're the best solution for a backlit keyboard

I don't like the feel of engraved legends. Prefer the smoothness of doubleshots or dyesub, but each to their own.

guessing these go together?
Poor Deck. You know you're doing something wrong when even Vortex has a better looking font than you. I love the double-shot pbt vortex caps I have, but they are at all attractive unless you compare them to deck.

Isn't the font on these Helvetica? Doesn't look too bad IMO.
What's your favorite keycap font?

Why do both of these guys light up the symbols on the numbers only?

x3 although I wish Vortex would stop centering their font.

The font is like that of Cherry legend (which is an old typeface named Formular One)

The font of this keyset is the same as the KBT's "history" PBT doubleshot set. I assume they use the same mold, which means they may have similar build quality.
I'm wondering if they'll bring it in colours other than black and white. Anyone want to guess/estimate a price for these? :DI have the same question :D

The price is already out. $33 USD/ set.

Glorious. Though I still do not like backlight in keyboards (aesthetically), this takes away one major reason why I would not want to get a backlit keyboard.
It is said that it uses PBT+POM doubleshot. (POM for the letter part)
That's one of the things I like about the Deck Hassium, is the numbers are next to the symbol, therefore you can see both and it doesn't look weird.http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=61149.0 (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=61149.0)

I would have jumped on this before, but I've figured out that I like non filled, engraved caps over doubleshots for backlit keyboards.I prefer them be visible without back lighting, which is something I like about my Deck Hassium, it's kind of a dull white.
They look blank when the light is off, and you can see the legends when the light is on.
It makes reactive typing modes look awesome
Do we know what the spacebar is made of? I have heard the Deck spacebar is made of ABS due to the warping problem.
Probably is, the matte finish the deck one has makes it look indistinguishable from the other keys (but that's probably because it is still new).Do we know what the spacebar is made of? I have heard the Deck spacebar is made of ABS due to the warping problem.
As seen on the photo posted above, the spacebar looks markedly different than the other keys, so I'm afraid it may be ABS too :(
Aaand here they are: http://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=1003
Unfortunately, all pictures suggest that the spacebar is indeed made of shiny ABS :mad:
I'd rather they just used a plain PBT spacebar like the one from this set: http://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=774

Agreed. What is the point of offering a PBT set if the key which is the most prone to shining is still ABS ? :mad:
These are available for order right now with ETA tomorrow.

Reddit post with imgur album and low light pic about this set (http://bl.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/2gaz5o/photos_vortex_translucent_pbtpom_double_shot)
The spacebar apparently is PBT after all.
Any place that ships from / near the SEA region? Most retailers I see is in the US or the EU :/MK would ship to Thailand (SEA), but for keycaps the shipping rate is $30. I also searched for sellers with cheaper shipping rate but I couldn't find one.

Nice looking set. Based on that reddit post it actually comes with volume caps which works out perfect for my Ducky Zero Shine keyboard. The only odd one is that squirrel key that would open the calculator I guess. I may not use that one. I kind of wish the numbers were above the symbols though...
One question though. When you buy key cap sets like this do the larger keys come with the ability to connect to both stabilizer types? Like the WASD Code keyboard uses costar-style stabilizers I think. Would this set be compatible with the spacebar on that keyboard?
For 33$ I wouldn't mind getting a set to put on backlit keyboards. Really do hope that it comes in colours other than black.
EDIT: Looks like they posted white sets on their facebook page! :DShow Image(https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xap1/t31.0-8/10506812_726071737460539_7918357470574073750_o.jpg)
Hrm, does anyone have these with normally oriented switches, i.e. not like Ducky's upside-down orientation such that LEDs are on top? I wonder if these legend inserts will get enough illumination with front-placed LEDs; the legends are mostly toward the top/far side of the caps.
Here is set on a QFR:Wait... You can dye caps?
(Attachment Link)
I originally picked these up to dye them--I am curious to see hot the PBT and POM handles dye differently. However I really like the white on black look, so I might delay that project :p

I'm wanting to know the same thing. I have a 60% with normal switches, using 2x3x4 leds and with a stainless steel plate I feel like I may get enough light to have a tiny bit show through.
And at half the price of the other vortex keycaps its super tempting to buy.
