[IC] Brick in Tai-Hao cubic profile ABS

Hello GeekHack. This is an early IC on a colorset that I'm calling "Brick" and I'm planning to run it in Tai-Hao's new cubic profile ABS.

I have been in contact with Tai-Hao and if there is enough interest then there may be the possibility of a group buy.

Let me know what you think.

Thanks

Edit: added extra color options for the modifiers

I think it would be awesome to have some more group buy options if this succeeds. I would buy!
If anyone is skeptical of TH, their new cubic ABS are the best keys they have put out.

I like it! Not a huge fan of the Blueish green though.. might look good with black keys!

I saw their cubic profile recently & didn't know they had it.

Looks pretty interesting, have you tried them out?

Yes I have tried out their cubic profile. It is made with thicker ABS and feels really nice

Until they can support as many layouts as GMK, no interest sadly

What's the difference between cubic, OEM and cherry profile?

Cubic, cherry, OEM

I am definitely pushing for more compatibility keys  but it is up to the manufacturer to approve it.

I need to be able to convince them that it is worth creating molds for the extra keys but they need to see that there is enough interest in it.

Not all rows appear higher, but it is really a modified OEM that is pointier and has a larger surface area up top. https://www.keychatter.com/2017/06/29/first-look-tai-hao-cubic-profile/

I'm willing to give it a shot since I don't mind OEM profile per se, just that OEM caps tend to be thin rubbish with horrible fonts.
