Here's an updated pic of the color:

As you can see, BFD and BCT are both great colors. Ultimately though, I'm happy we're going with BCT.

They're gonna look awesome!!

demik · « **Reply #258 on:** Wed, 19 October 2011, 21:24:32 »

yeah i like bct better, bfd looks rather purple in that picture

hopefully somebody does another dyesub group with red legends on grey keys, kind of like that unreleased topre board.

Ragnorock · « **Reply #259 on:** Wed, 19 October 2011, 22:20:56 »

Red legends on grey keys would actually look pretty legit. As long as it was a darker shade of grey lol.

Those modifiers are gorgeous; I want that as a whole set... but the dyesub prices... my god...

demik · « **Reply #263 on:** Wed, 19 October 2011, 23:21:40 »

i'd take any of those 2 combinations. the red just looks awesome on both

Black on red OR red on white.
Someone needs to start it.

keyboardlover · « **Reply #269 on:** Thu, 20 October 2011, 06:44:22 »

You guys sure do go off topic a lot.

Actually, I think a Cherry MX dyesub kit like this would look really cool:

I'd be in for one, but I ain't running the group buy

AT LEAST not until this one is complete!

Sorry to futher derail this thread KL but that red on white/grey is SOOOO nice there seems like a lot of interest to start a groupbuy

gimpster · « **Reply #272 on:** Fri, 21 October 2011, 00:07:35 »

/KL would it be possible to take some pictures of the new blue on top of your keyboard like you did for the original blue? I need to make sure I still like it and that really helped me the first time around. I think the white balance is off in the picture you've got up there currently and I want to get a better idea of how it looks.

It's \KL not /KL...but I took pics for you anyway because THAT is what a nice guy I am

Hope these help:

Btw, Melissa said that once manufacturing begins, she can send a photo to show what the keycaps look like. So get your orders IN people!!

Why is it \ not / ? Some sort of programming reason? I'd know why if it were LaTeX.

Also, I thought I would have not liked the new blue at all, but now I think I might like it even more.

keyboardlover · « **Reply #275 on:** Fri, 21 October 2011, 09:49:09 »

I think I'm starting to like it more too...

\ is windows style, / is linux style (command line).

To remember, I say "windows back, linux forward". Which is weird since I'm such a windows fan

keyboardlover · « **Reply #276 on:** Fri, 21 October 2011, 10:56:44 »

Fyi, I updated the OP with a "new buyer sets remaining" number. In the event that we reach the deadline and not all the "interested" have paid, additional slots will open.

Let me know if you have questions on this.

I originally was on for two sets; could we change the slots to six?

I kind of interpreted \KL as an escape sequence. printf("Hello, world!\KL");

Lol...I hate escape characters. Never used them in programming since I programmed in perl (4 yrs ago).

Zoop · « **Reply #280 on:** Fri, 21 October 2011, 14:31:17 »

Hi, I'm very interested in the blueeeee keys. I just have a question - how are they so expensive? I was looking at:

http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?21177-new-group-for-KBC-keycaps-including-104

and those pbc 104s are 44$. They aren't dye-sub, but I didn't realize dye-sub was more than 2x more expensive than the engraved (I'm refering to the white engraved.) Is the premium due to the custom color? If someone could fill me in that would be appreciated.

I still might end up ordering a set of these anyways though ahah

alaricljs · « **Reply #281 on:** Fri, 21 October 2011, 15:17:45 »

These are being custom manufactured to \KL's specs. Those other PBTs are not only not dye-subbed but are made in massive quantities which helps bring down the price. Also it may be possible that PBT caps can be engraved, laser etched or another process after being molded (perhaps dye-sub'd as well?) which means that a facility could produce huge quantities of white caps (popular color choice) and then produce different final products from that 1 huge batch... again economies of scale kick in and lower the price some more.

Yeah, it's the custom color and the dye sublimation process.

Those are made in China. These keys are made in the US.

I'd say that the location and order quantity make up the difference in price.

I think SP said 6 weeks to do the keys. Wouldn't expect them before end of December if orders close on November 4. Who knows if KL will even have everybody pay by then.

keyboardlover · « **Reply #295 on:** Mon, 24 October 2011, 12:51:02 »

Good news, I personally fronted the remainder of the money last week. Production has already started. =)

I will post a pic as soon as SP sends me one.
