In your pictures there are two panels with keycap cutouts.

In the ones with the keycap pullers, the key in the top right corner seems to have been whiteouted.

I know I've asked this a few times, but I have yet to get a response from anyone.

Do you know if they plan on making a Olivetti, or classic beige double shot PBT set(s)?

Beside base set (US ansi-104 keys), other extra keys depend on order,
From China, they may ask for 104 + 10 keys.
From my order, Tai-hao gave me 104 + 1(Cherry's off-center stem capslock) + 1 keys
From Taiwan, I found the retails have 2 SKU, 104 keys only and 114 keys like China's.
In mechanicalkeyboards website, the set seems with 104 + 7 keys

It's better to describe the detail which add-on keys this set will have.

The purple key is another series from Tai-Hao.
And I have the samples.

Fair enough.

I have seen a couple of pictures of the sets elsewhere, and what is there didn't seem to warrant obfuscation. Maybe different sets have different extras.

I will just tell you guys what I received from the GB run by a Taihao authorized agent in China. Hopefully this might be helpful. The total keys inside the package should 114 keys + a mysterious keys. At this GB I could choose to have a full set of keys or 104 keys which take out the extra 10 keys. Finaly what I pick up 104 keys since my keyboard do not need the extra one. Here is everything in the package. (Please ignore the white caps in the first box, this is my Poker 2's original keycaps, I had already put the Miami keycaps on my keyboard.)

More detail about the mysterious key, I think the material covered outside the key is rubber to give more texture and the color I received is red but the pic I saw before is more purple to me.

The extra keys (10 in total) + ISO kit.

LennyRhys · « **Reply #136 on:** Wed, 08 April 2015, 04:30:41 »

I got a Taihao white-on-red set a while ago and IMO they are considerably better quality than SP caps (I have over 1,000 random SP caps left over from a grab bag group buy). I'd still use SP but they are far too expensive based on the quality and variety that Taihao offer.

@Nikelu
Here you can see them in a video

https://www.keychatter.com/2015/03/18/video-tai-hao-doubleshot-pbt-keycap-typing-tests/

@all
how thick are they? I've seen the pics from the bottom of the cap, but have nothing to compare them to.
I think they are medium-thick pbt? Thicker than Filco ABS, but thinner than the Vortex or Leopold PBT.

Yeah they are the same.
And the yellow is too pale for my liking. I'd rather buy the orange set (if they are reasonably thick).

Just order a set myself. The color are bright, the print look good but the PBT is paper thin. Kind of disappointed.
A relatively light pressure bends the edge.
The original space bar on my Deck requires at least for times that pressure to get close to that kind of bending.
I know we're not building a bridge with these but still. I was expecting something better.

I got the temptation to order a set of these, once or twice, I am glad I did not, after your reference: paper thin, and your picture, wow, these are near garbage, I am accustomed to OG Cherry, have a few GMK made key caps, that by the way, are not made equal. We know, GMK have the molds that use to be owned by Cherry, but, they are simple not the same, in any case, thank you very much for taking the time to post this.
