[GB] MiTo DSA: Sci-Fi - ONE MORE ORDER AVAILABLE!

[kevral]

This is my first double-shot DSA set, but I expected all the keys to have 2 colors showing on the inside? All my white keys are all-white on the inside?

If you want answers, you'll have to take it to Reddit.  MiTo/lyqu1d doesn't really come on here except to pimp his stuff or sell it.

[kevral]

Right, thanks. But don't all-white insides sound like dye-sub rather than double-shots?

[FuriousGeorge]

Did you get the normal base set or the Cyrillic set? If I remember correctly this one had at Cyrillic character set that was to be dye subbed instead of double shot.

Not necessarily, usually double-shots will have strips on the inside but some, such as these Royal Kludge doubleshots (https://www.massdrop.com/buy/royal-kludge-doubleshot-abs-keycaps), have a full single-color inside.

I have a base kit plus a Norwegian language kit, both of which are supposed to be double-shot.

I have now cut into a key I don't need and the legend does NOT go all the way through.

[kevral]

The plot thickens.

There appears to be two different base kits. In this Imgur link there is a base kit with the manufacturer code "MDX-3571-BSKIT". The photos also clearly show white keys with black-and-white back sides.

My kit, however, has the code "MDX-3571-BSKITPBT" and features white keys with white back sides and surface printing.

This is not what I ordered.

Now I wonder if Signature Plastics has wanted to avoid making doubleshot international keys (lack of molds?) and just substituted in their DSA stock sublimated set in white and called it a day, hoping noone would notice. It's either that, or ridiculously bad communication between Massdrop and SP.

[kevral]

Good grief.

Turns out SP didn't have the molds they said they did, so they "upgraded" the buyers of international kits to dyesub PBT without a word to the customer. Now I have a mismatched "set", but hey, at least half of it is "upgraded PBT" and not inferior doubleshot ABS.

Wow that's horrible.  Hopefully they'll resolve this soon.....

It is what it is: PBT dyesub mixed with ABS doubleshot. I have accepted that - Norwegian keycaps are hard enough to find - but once I put the caps on a keyboard I realized the PBT caps were mostly warped, with barely a single straight edge between the lot of them. Massdrop is sending me replacement alphas + Norwegian kit though.

They actually think that mixing in PBT is a upgrade, though, as it is more expensive. Or something.

Warp is pretty "standard" for SP PBT, I guess they still havent fixed their molding.
Did they say if the replacement one would also be PBT?

Guys, you won't get any resolutions here.  He only comes on here to shill his stuff.
