Are the caps being made by Gateron this time Ivan? Or is that still a little ways off?

Bravo on the inclusion of all the 1800  keys.  What is the stem spacing on the 6x space bar?

Order submitted.

I was able to try out this set at keycon and it was true PBT joy. geniekid showcased the blanks and Joey Quinn had the black on black. I loved them both so much, so I ordered one blank and one US Int. :thumb:

Edit: Also, just FYI, the examples I saw had both scoops AND nibs in case anyone was curious.

Yeah, from Gateron. The 6x spacebar is exactly the same as Cherry 6x spacebar. Yes, the 1.5 / 1u mods will have the same legends as the corresponding 1.25 key.

Ah, so this is a different manufacturer from the last Black on Black group buy? What kind of differences can we expect? Nibs/Scoops/Thickness/etc?

Are any of the r4 1u keys going to have a "fn" type text?

In the previous round these keys were blank.

What's the MOQ for Gateron?  I'm sure there will be lots of interest at these price points.

MOQ is 300 set.
Sure, I can make the extra 1u key be whatever. Fn, a Cherry logo...

So essentially a rerun of some of the previous rounds. A.k.a. Ivan's Dyesub PBT revisited� (Round 5) :P

Still waiting for my Round 3 set to arrive. I was hoping to put these on an FC660M but I would need to source an extra 2.25x shift key.

Just a quick question to the set.
What lettering would the marked keys would have in a normal US dyesub set?

101070-0

Just wanted to know wether or not it fits perfect with a 1800 layout.
With blanks there would be only one R2 1u and one R3 1u missing to have a perfect fit for a 1800 layout...

Would it be possible to get those two keys with a blank set?

These sets aren't really fit for an 1800... there is not enough row E keys for the nav cluster, or row D -, row C +... and if it's a winkey one the 1u would have wrong legends instead of Ctrl, Alt...

Most likely the 3 'extra' row B 1u keys will be something like menu, Fn, a Cherry logo or something other novelty.

The previous groupbuy should be done 2 months before this one. Usually production time is around that long, so probably delivery in August?

Good point.  I was trying to use it as shorthand for the short shift, offset caps, 6x space, 1x 0 and whatnot.

65 is a steal for a thick cherry profile PBT keyset like this. Pretty much all keysets ever made are/were more expensive than this other than cheap TaoBao junk.

Indeed. With the exception of thin ABS or thin Taobao PBT keycaps everything else is much more expensive.
Dolch was $110 for the base set and Macross DSA was close to $150 for an entire set.
Even the previous Black on Black set was $75.

Not knocking you if you simply cannot afford it btw. Just saying that for thick PBT keycaps these are really cheap. :)
