You know I think it's nice they can have so much holidays. Not like America when lucky to get week vacation for whole year and half days on a holiday.

Yes I believe it's been proven that given a few more days off makes workers more productive instead of working them to the bone

gruener_Salat · « **Reply #351 on:** Mon, 30 December 2013, 15:51:06 »

Sure, I like the obligatory 24 days of vacation here in Germany, some even have 30 days off.

Yes you can place an order. ETA is not set currently. Need to make the MOQ to have them made, and production time can vary.

It will be awhile, you can place an order and if you need to cancel it that is OK.

Couldn't resist so I made an order for a couple of pieces, Ivan's Group Buys are always decent no matter what the subject is

Can you give an approx on shipping for 1 set to Australia please Ivan, also do you have an approx on when the money will be due by? Considering putting myself down for a blank set but only if I'll be able to afford it by the payment due date - can't work atm due to surgery

Well he said that the deadline will be extended, but he still doesn't know.
Since the OG was Jan 15, I'm going to guess a couple more weeks later? Early- mid February?

Hey guys, slightly noob question: I heard the PBT keycap surfaces (smooth, a bit rough, textured etc) can range from the different manufacteurs. How is this compared to sets like Ducky, IMSTO's sets+other common PBT?
sets? or all they all slightly rough/textured?

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #363 on:** Tue, 31 December 2013, 13:00:15 »

Yeh depend on how much longer it is until I get price from GMK on ABS extras. Probably extra 3-4 week run time. Ship price for one set international is around $12-14.

Great, gives us some time to save up for these

. GMK is always worth the money, hope 400 will be reached soon.

this GB will be made by imsto I believe

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #366 on:** Tue, 31 December 2013, 23:12:01 »

PBTs are from imsto, there will also be ABS add on from GMK for ISO, winkeyless, 1.75 shift, and windowed lock keys to go along with it.

imsto PBT are not too rough, but not quite as velvety as BSP or Cherry (if you disregard lasering).

evolveS · « **Reply #367 on:** Wed, 01 January 2014, 13:44:08 »

Ordered.

Any chance of a stepped caps lock in this gb? I looked through the thread but couldn't really find an answer.

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #368 on:** Wed, 01 January 2014, 14:41:29 »

Yes stepped caps lock is include. I made this more clear in the OP thanks for pointing out I had forgot about that.

My first time participating in a groupbuy!
I have a question, does it come in black?
Why yes, it does!
SWEEEET

In for a set of blank keycaps for my future boards down the line!
Possibly considering ordering a second set as well but I'll update my order once I'm sure I want to commit to 2 sets.

Happy new years!

Puddsy · « **Reply #371 on:** Wed, 01 January 2014, 19:06:22 »

Is the stepped caps lock centerstem or offset?

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #372 on:** Wed, 01 January 2014, 19:07:00 »

Stepped is offset for use on G80.

-devious- · « **Reply #373 on:** Wed, 01 January 2014, 22:22:44 »

I'm completely new to mechanical keyboards but have been reading and browsing online as much as possible to get up to speed to some degree.

Just ordered a Poker II (my first mechanical keyboard) and would love to get these all black keys! I really like the look of blank keys, but I think it will take a lot of time to get used to the secondary functions of the poker II before I go blanks..

Either, way, I'm placing an order just so I have these for the future! Thanks for setting this up.

JaccoW · « **Reply #374 on:** Thu, 02 January 2014, 12:54:27 »

Hey Ivan, I might be down for one but I would need an extra 2.25x Shift and a 1x Windows key. Any idea where I might find a matching version of those? Do you or Imsto have these?

Puddsy · « **Reply #375 on:** Thu, 02 January 2014, 12:56:24 »

For FC660M right? If there is enough user of this board I can see about adding to extras add on pack.

Exactly. That would be nice and worth a small premium to me.

Could I sand them with a high grit if I wanted? Probably wouldn't but just wondering.

small favor but could you check to make sure I placed an order of a blank set?

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #379 on:** Thu, 02 January 2014, 17:02:57 »

geogga, yes I see an order from you for blank set. Probably not best idea to post your email like that in open forum.
Perhaps I should say more that these imsto key texture is fine, but is not ultrafine like original Cherry/BSP. Certainly not abrasive like the cheap Keycool/KBC/Ducky OEM thin or SP PBT.

Nubbles · « **Reply #380 on:** Thu, 02 January 2014, 19:41:23 »

I just submitted my order to maybe help with the MOQ.
I know it's a long shot, but this is a beautiful keyset.

MiR4i · « **Reply #381 on:** Thu, 02 January 2014, 19:47:52 »

I'm very interested in these, but this will be my first time ever buying keycaps.

Will the blank blacks look similar to these - http://imgur.com/a/8hEa4 ?

tbc · « **Reply #382 on:** Thu, 02 January 2014, 20:08:45 »

not as dark and the keycaps will be slightly shorter (like 1mm or 2mm) on some rows.

WoW... Not as dark? "Pitch Black" might not be the correct term to describe these then.

I'll most likely end up jumping in on these next week though because it seems that the entire internet is out of stock of blank black PBT ANSI key caps.

It can't really be black black, because then only blank, engraved, lasered is possible. It's like rich black vs. process black... it's still black.

I could be wrong because i don't have that board or those caps, but those caps match that case and i've never seen a black case that I wouldn't call black. the realforce caps (that is the black/charcoal color we are matching) are noticably lighter than any black case I've seen

i'm not sure if its more 'out of stock' or more 'never existed'

Ahhh, I was under the impression that reply was about the text for black on black since he also mentioned engraving. I guess if it's dark, dark gray it's probably not going to be what I'm looking for then. Apologies for wasting anyone's time, but thanks for taking the time to do these group buys!

Hey Ivan, any chance of a control caps lock option like the realforce boards?

Puddsy · « **Reply #388 on:** Fri, 03 January 2014, 10:47:27 »

Unfortunately, I've got to cancel my order. I made a few miscalculations in my funds, and I can't eat keycaps. I might buy a set from classifieds later, but for now I'll just have to go without.

I already put in for a full 105+4 set, but if you did this for the FC660M, I would order an additional full set.

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #391 on:** Sat, 04 January 2014, 16:06:33 »

So add on pack contents:
6x windowed top row key
windowed stepped and fulltouch caps lock
deepdish 'scoops' home keys
ISO enter
1.25 shift
1.75 shift
extra 2.25 shift for FC660M
4x 1.5 bottom row
2x extra bottom row 1x1
7x spacebar

Is this good? Or is there anything else that you all feel we need? Looking to finalize the add on pack contents so can get final price from GMK for this so can make it orderable.

Michael · « **Reply #392 on:** Sat, 04 January 2014, 16:14:35 »

So wait... are the deep dish scoops pbt, or abs?

Is this going to be a mix of pbt and abs? and can you state what is what in the OP?

tbc · « **Reply #393 on:** Sat, 04 January 2014, 16:20:14 »

standard winkey 104 + extra 1 stepped capslock is PBT

this addon pack is GMK ABS

Would love to see 3x extra bottom row 1x1 in total,
This way you could have a hhkb/-like layout with the 1.75 r-shift.

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #395 on:** Sat, 04 January 2014, 16:54:43 »

Exactly... it's ANSI 104 PBT set and that is currently all that is available here.
There will be an optional add on for color matching BLANK ABS from GMK to make the ANSI 104 PBT set more adaptable for other keyboards. Most of the keys in the add on pack will be things that are simply not available from the PBT keycap factory. When the ABS add on becomes available I will of course try to make that as clear as possible.

DarkShot · « **Reply #396 on:** Sun, 05 January 2014, 11:20:43 »

I presume that no resellers or anyone like imsto has shown interest in ordering some sets to sell at their stores?

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #397 on:** Sun, 05 January 2014, 12:57:43 »

Some vendor interest, but none have fully committed yet. Possibly waiting to see price for add on kit.
