Cherry's fans in China get the official Cherry new Logo GMK keycap.
Do you like this one?

heedpantsnow · « **Reply #1 on:** Sun, 10 January 2016, 09:01:41 »

The design/colors are fine, but I really love that texture.

Solo · « **Reply #2 on:** Sun, 10 January 2016, 09:06:12 »

It looks pretty sexy to me.

bazh · « **Reply #3 on:** Sun, 10 January 2016, 09:35:49 »

I demand a group buy, in bunches of color

xondat · « **Reply #4 on:** Sun, 10 January 2016, 11:59:38 »

Love. I'll take them all.

ShardZer0 · « **Reply #5 on:** Sun, 10 January 2016, 12:38:15 »

Sexy! Are they going to be for sale somewhere?

Photekq · « **Reply #6 on:** Sun, 10 January 2016, 12:58:35 »

Can't compete with OG

Is the G80-2000HAD the only board that had this key?

Also, that key on the bottom right. What is its function? OTD RA has that key as an extra (as you know), and since its profile matches Delete/End, I figured it might be one of those. I didn't understand the significance or know the origin of that little star emblem until I saw pictures of the G80-2000HAD.

Also the older versions of the G80-2100, which are EXTREMELY rare. Definitely not any easier to find than the G80-2000. The only person on DT/GH I know who has one is kbdfr (don't go PMing him.. he won't sell

)

I have no idea what the star emblem does, sorry. I never tried to plug my G80-2000 into a computer.

I'd love to get my hands on some of these to match some sets.

Yummmmmm

Would people prefer this or the pad print windowed version?

Kinda leaning more towards double-shot

Me too - the pad print being slightly off colour always bothers me too much to actually use the windowed keys

Pad print is only really off colour on dark keycaps. On beige it looks just the same as doubleshot, so long as the key isn't very used.

That's really interesting

From your GB experience is there a huge difference in cost between windowed + pad print and doubleshot?

I've got no idea, I'm afraid. I never got quotes on individual keys.

I would imagine that windowed + pad print would be more, since the window is actually a second shot.

Look at the windowed lock keys of a G80-2100, or the win98 keys from a G80-5000 or G80-3000HRMUS. The legends are just as black and just as sharp as any doubleshot legend. You only see a difference in colour when it comes to darker keycaps like the Originative Dolch windowed lock keys. My windowed Cherry lock key definitely looks sharp with plenty of contrast, just like a doubleshot.

I personally don't like this doubleshot key shown in the OP because I really am not fond of the new Cherry logo. The old one is much nicer.

The old one is a great logo by I'd really love to get some double-shot logo keys for some recent GMK Buys.

Dayum, that looks real pretty.

Don't mind getting a few too.

Thanks for getting back to me on that

Yeah the older design has much more intricacy than the new one

It get the authorization from Cherry.
And just the marketing event and not to sell.
Some Cherry fans have received the Cherry Logo keycaps and Cherry wall calendar.

That's the good idea but maybe GMK can only sell the Cherry Logo keycaps to Cherry GmbH.

jaffers · « **Reply #21 on:** Sun, 10 January 2016, 20:48:34 »

I like the look of it. Nice and simple. Looks great IMO, I'd love to grab some of these in a group buy in different colours like the escape key packs

Interesting

I wonder if it would be hard to get approval from Cherry to use the mold

I can't think of a reason why they wouldn't let people use it apart from mold wear and tear

swimmingbird · « **Reply #31 on:** Sat, 16 January 2016, 19:12:25 »

Does anyone know if anyone within the community has gotten GMK to make a new mold?
They obviously do it from time to time such as with the Win8 logo

Wonder how much it would cost...

Typically a new mold costs some thousands of dollars, from what I have read.

romevi · « **Reply #33 on:** Mon, 18 January 2016, 11:54:35 »

I think the new logo is pretty neato-mosquito. Does anyone know if they're recessed? It seems from the pic there's a bit of a dip, but that could just be my eyes.
