{GB} Gateron PBT Blank Keysets CLOSED [EXTRAS SOLD OUT]

[jujubii]

hey shadovved and all... do you think the 6.25u spacebar might have the same fitment issue like the ones from ivan's last black on black pbt set? i mean it's nothing a dremel can fix (or using the set on a keyboard with costar stabs) but it's worth an ask.

A blank pbt set with ISO compatibility would draw a lot of attention. We are starving.

Here's a few comparison shot to the beiges of gaterons next to OG doubleshots.

Question...

In this pic F1 is beige or white?
blank key next to iso enter is light grey?

Hi Shadovved, will we get extra modifier keys and stepped caps lock like on MD?

EDIT:
Can you confirm: Light grey is really a dark shade of beige? Hard to decide what color I should get :/

White is white white, beige is warmer white. Light Grey is more greyish than the previous two.

Assuming their molds are still the same, probably still need a little manual editing.

Hi, thanks for the reply. What i want to know is if Light Grey has a warm tone to it or if it is complely desaturated in color (compare model M mods to HHKB mods which are completely gray-scale)

Also, will the stepped caps lock fit on a regular ansi board? It says the stem is off-centered on the stepped key. Not sure what that means :/

[Nai_Calus]

No. It's for Cherry-style caps lock keys, which have the key moved slightly to the left of the standard non-stepped caps. The stem is moved to match. It's the same with the 6u spacebar that won't fit most boards with a 6u spacebar; Cherry likes to put things off-center for some reason and the stem is moved as a result.

Oh! The set still has all the keys I need for my poker II, doesn't it?

Gotta have infiniti step in for this.

He used Model M keys as comparison didnt he?

[Lumic]

I've got additional function row keys above the numpad: http://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/images/products/large_486_large_485_large_484_DK2108Sblue_main.JPG

Would it be possible to work out something for a set + those four keycaps? I'd be happy to pay extra.

Firstly, I cant because they come ready in sets, like your GMK or BSP.

Unless you'll want to buy two sets......my recommendation is that you get a two-tone and a single colour which overlaps with the two-tone mods colour

[Shadovved]

ISO is no-go for now. Sorry guys

Opportunities might pop up later.

[LeandreN]

That's unfortunate. I will try to contact Vortex again, they aren't so responsive though.

If you need keycap samples, contact infiniti.

He might be able to spare you some.

I am just afraid that the colors isn't exactly the same. Also the profile may not be the same.
So a total of 4 keys.

We need: 1x ISO enter, 1x R4 key(1u), 1x R3 key(1u) and 1x 1.25u key. Everything should be blank.

Lets hope Vortex want to help

[azhdar]

Does Vortex make cherry profile?

[wlhlm]

Does Vortex make cherry profile?

Yes

[Metr0]

Has invoicing started yet?

[Giorgio]

But do they make iso cherry profile? I've seen iso only in oem profile.

Does Vortex make cherry profile?

Yes

[lasttycoon]

Damn. The price on these is so good. Might go with Ivans though to get black instead.

[Nikelu]

Couple questions what will be the difference from these caps and my current razer blackwidow 2013 except the pbt quality and thickness?Will they be the same height etc?Or will they be flat,cause I think razers each row is a bit elevated dont know if these are called cherry or oem. need some enlightment here :/ .Also if I buy a ducky mini or pok3r will they fit as well as the stock ones? Not causing any problems?

[Shadovved]

Has invoicing started yet?

Not yet. I only got like 50 orders so far

Please order more, people

 @Shadovved: don't worry, small gb live on Vietnam mechanical group . 19/6 i'll order

[Shadovved]

 

[Sn0_Man]

I'm new around here but I couldn't resist a set!

Thanks for running this Shadovved

[cinnamoncider]

Which color combination should I choose to match the tone in the Model M?

[Kraicheck]

Damn. The price on these is so good. Might go with Ivans though to get black instead.

@Shadovved: Are you planning on running a blank black version in the future?

[Shadovved]

Check the OP for the color combination.

@Shadovved: Are you planning on running a blank black version in the future?

Nope. Imsto has exclusivity on blacks.

[Giorgio]

Exclusivity on blacks. Are we in the fifteenth century?

So much for Massdrop (currently @ 180) vs Geekhack...

What to do? Multinational business be poor old me with one-man-show.

But shipping timelines and speed are comparable.... Either I'm they need to up their game, or I am underpaid HAHAHA

IS BEIGE THE MILK COLOR DESCRIBED IN MASSDROP?

[Kraicheck]

One white set ordered! 

[Shadovved]

IS BEIGE THE MILK COLOR DESCRIBED IN MASSDROP?

It is. I'll add into the OP.

Correction: I don't think so. Gateron offered two whites, one was blindingly white white which hurts my eyes to look at and the other was normal white which can be likened to pure milk white.

This GB has the normal milky daylight white white. Not the blindingly white white.

My white should be the equivalent of MD's milk, hard to tell unless they got better pictures.

And they don't have my beige.

[TBone]

Got in for light grey/beige. Too good to pass up. Not sure if I'll use them though...

[Ngt]

Tough choice. Hard to know what to want. Full dark grey or two-tone light-grey, beige. Or perhaps just both! Mouahaha.

[3K]

1. Is this GB linked in any way to the drop of blanks on Massdrop? Or just weird timing?

2. Is there a minimum of orders to start this GB?

1. No they are not linked, they're are the same keycaps, yes.

2. Nopo

I suggest you buy from here though, cheaper International total, faster and directly supporting the community.

The same, except that one bright white color, I suppose.
That's what I plan to do, thanks!

Yeah I agree with that. If you are afraid about taking part into this GB, shadovved is a member you can trust. He managed a GB of 100k+ gateron switches with Hwood and everyone got their orders. Just saying in case you are not used to GH's GB.

Just as I thought picking the color combination was hard enought..

[Nuum]

I thought beige is Massdrop's milk white and all the other colors are named the same here and on MD, so light/dark grey and white.

Light grey mods and and beige/milk white alphas are very close to Cherry thick dyesub PBT keycaps, with the beige being slightly more yellow and the light grey a tad colder.

Don't worry. You are not losing out on the stark white color. It's like a set of hardcore white CCs.

My white is the normal white you see around from SP or BSP.

And you get a beige which they don't have. Beige is like evaporated milk while white is like fresh milk.

Hm. This is not good news. Until now most of us have assumed that the keycaps are identical in color to what Massdrop offers. I based my choice of keycaps on the Massdrop mockups because they were supposed to be accurate. Now I'll probably have to cancel and make a new selection based on the correct color comparisons. It would be nice if someone could get Gateron to release a full color comparison chart/image, cause right now there seems to be no way to know the difference between Massdrop's and Shadovved's caps.

[yuiop]

So if I understand correctly, Gateron has something whiter that the white in this pic?
That's impressive.
