Once I know more about what is possible in POM I will make some kind of interest check with a poll or something and go from there. Or, I could just play it safe and go with white as POM takes dye really well too so people can always DIY colors with idye or whatever.

You should definitely consider doing white, it would be very easy to hit MOQ.

About half done with shipping these. Should be finished by the end of the week.

I assume those who've had theirs shipped will be getting PMs soon?

for your tracking #?

pretty sure ivan will only give if you pm him for it.

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #2206 on:** Wed, 29 April 2015, 10:39:09 »

Nope, I don't individually notify or send tracking number anymore. It takes up too much of my time which is better spent actually getting packages sent.
That said, I can always provide tracking (where applicable) if package is overdue or something so you can follow up with the post office.

Both sets arrived safe and sound! Sincerest of thanks to you, Ivan. These are incredible and were well worth the wait. Seeing them now is almost surreal, this was the first GB I ever joined

Not the best lighting, it makes it look more navy colored than it actually is.

How black are these in person? Do they look OEM stock keycap black or it more like Vortex's dark grey?

Yo, that's actually pretty cool. That mysterious blue hue at a certain light level gives these black caps that extra mythical status. They are like a Dark Souls rare drop or something.

I think that's always a problem with keycap group buys. Hard to tell from renders. Need a production sample.

My two sets came in but I got back too late for good photos. I'll take some photos with these on the Filcos and compare the black to DAS pom caps.

First impressions? **** BSP Black Otaku. Should have never been impatient and given a dime towards that other buy. This was worth every minute of the wait, my only regret is I didn't buy two of each.

This is my first keyboard mod. The color matches the G80 chassis pretty well. Damn i hate cherry stabs, I'm really surprised nothing got permanently broken, though it's probably the flimsy PCB mount that made things worse. The hardest to get on were the numpad + and Enter keys. I pre-applied some clipper oil i had laying around to help things, (maybe a little too much after i re-pulled a few keys i got some flecks of oil here and there i had to wipe off).

It seems I'm missing a 1x tab-row key (the empty numpad key shown). Of course it was a ***** sorting the blanks, but I double checked and there's no way I misplaced any. There were 2 extra 1x bottom-row keys (which I assume were included as 1x modifiers). lol i found it hiding under the IMSTO flyer

Well actually... I traded one of my printed sets.. sigh.

But it was for Penumbra, so I'm okay with that.

Can you take a photo of a filco cap next to the new keycaps? These look just like the grey vortex caps on massdrop from the pics.

Aren't molds just for the shape and profile? More concerned with how grey they look, at least in the pictures being shown.

The original post states in the details that all orders are shipped USPS.
