[GB] Tai Hao (ANSI + Add-On Pack) Keyset Group Buy [ALL SHIPPED >> REFUND ISSUE]

[thestage]

there should probably be a thread for this on deskthority too.

Ordered granite because why not

[Elrick]

Ordered granite because why not

Ordered all 3 babies.  Can't believe buying a whole key-set for $14.00 each, I feel like some sort of criminal.  Stealing something at such a low price like this  .

Thanks for running this Group Buy, was looking everywhere for some OEM profiles and these are just perfect.

Also thumbs up  for having all these made in Taiwan, the same place were all our Filco's are born.

Chinese vs western manufacturing.  Nothing out of the ordinary about it.  When you buy a T-shirt for 2.99, you're doing the same thing.

Except with this, these keycaps will do just fine functionally. Using them daily for a few years won't make them break, while wearing a ****ty tshirt often will cause it to rip/become holey pretty fast.

[Elrick]

I only found this Group Buy today and was truly surprised to have DOLCH being offered.  I have become an unadulterated man-wh0re for Dolch key-caps.  Can't resist anything with shades of grey in them.

The price of good looking doubleshots

Alternatively, buy 3 or 4 sets and just rotate it out when it gets old.

Now this guy gets it  .  Always buy 3 or 4 complete sets, because now you can't complain about the prices being too high.

Show you guys for these 3 set

I only ordered 2 sets, but this was exactly my reasoning.

[GhostofHarry]

there should probably be a thread for this on deskthority too.

Shall i post one there?

I'm not too sure if dt likes it but if yes I'll do it
Helps hitting the MOQ too

[whiskytango]

@GhostofHarry: You mentioned in the OP that Tai Hao cannot do windows logo due to copyright, but the pictures show that they have done windows logos. Is it that they cannot do them anymore? If they cannot do them anymore, are there any other legends to choose from like a star or diamond or something?

[minho]

Let's try to hit Round 2 and 3!
This pseudo Red Alert set that GhostofHarry posted looks amazing

Don't see why not, cheap doubleshots are always good

I hope they can't print the Windows logo.  I don't like the Windows 98 and Windows 8 logos on keycaps.  Windows XP/7 looks much better imo.  But blank is fine with me, probably even preferable to something like a star or a diamond--I fear those might not "fit" with the look of the rest of the keys.

That logo can always be done

Just that some of u complain about how ugly it is in the IC
And wanted a window 7/8 logo or a blank one no matter how

I inquired taihao and they said they couldn't provide the real window logo due to copyright problem
So I asked for a blank one

Ohhh, so they can do the ugly one in the pics, but that's just not a real windows logo. I understand.

I personally would rather have the ugly one than blank, but I understand if people did not want it. Do you think they would include both the fake windows logo and a blank key without raising the price?

I don't want to stir anything up, but I was just curious. Thanks for the reply! I will get my order in when my brother-in-law makes up his mind about which sets he wants.

[RaVNzCRoFT]

How is it that they can do the ugly one but not another Windows logo?  The one shown in the OP was once Windows' official logo.

Edit:  I just realized the one in the OP doesn't have the "tails" coming off of the four squares.  So I guess it isn't an exact replica of the Windows logo.

Yes.  The tail is missing!

The fake  ugly window key is included in the ANSI set
We don't have to pay more for that

If someone doesn't like it and want a blank one for substitute,
they can pick up an add on pack 

[Chungas]

Ordered 1 granite set + granite add-on thanks!

What 60% keyboards are those? They have poker layout but LEDs are at the front of each switch? On my poker 2 they are at the back of the switch.

[jevvix]

Saw these on Taobao a while ago and was looking to get a set proxied. Well... this works a bit easier! And cheaper! Thank you.

You can search my post, KBP v60 mini.
This comes from a new Taiwan KB brand.

updated order confirmation

I have double checked that i hide all personal information
Please inform me if you can see them...
I will fix it immediately

[feizor]

So many responses in just 2 days, this is going to be EPIC!

[MAR82]

Well you can count me in on all three, with an add-on for each 

[hsu]

Bought and would probably buy one more of stage 2. Nice price!

[mark_thaddeus]

I have a question before I purchase, does the dolche and granite have different shades of black or are they the same (different lighting?)?

[GhostofHarry]

im pretty sure they are different shades of grey

[Razor Lotus]

I thought everyone here was 'pbt or die'...

Hell no, all the best (and pretty much all ) the doubleshot sets are ABS.

Doubleshot: def ABS. PBT doubleshot always has bleeding problems.

What's bleeding?

Is this one of the limitations of why PBT can't be doubleshot??

[Razor Lotus]

140 add on sets ordered!

10 more till we get them at $9 each

[Halvar]

The MOQ is separate for each color, you can't add them.

Ordered one of each set!

[mattics]

A few quick questions before I order - I am ordering anyway but trying to get a friend on board, they need some info/clarification

• I presume where R1 is mentioned it relates to bottom row and ZXCV. And R2 is home row? I am fairly certain this is the case
• Does the ISO enter have a legend? I am assuming all additional shift/ctrl/alts have legends too.
• Are the spacebars universal?

Apologies if these have been asked already, I am at work and just skimmed through quickly. Feel free to ignore any repeats and I will edit them out when I get home and ready the thread properly

1.) Yes  you are correct
2.) Yes, when i say its ctrl or alt, or ISO enter, they have legend  on them
3.) 6.25 spacebar has 6 stems, which is universal, 7x only is not confirmed, iwould have to ask.
i but think the one u are asking is 6.25?

[GhostofHarry]

after reconfirming the price with taihao sales today
I found that i forgot to add  the cost of the stepped capslock into the ANSI Pack...

I fear that I might have to revise  the price of the ANSI kit to from $14 to $15.....

[SL89]

I am pretty interested in the White on Red and Red on White sets for the Red Scarf II.

Would i have to buy into Round 1 (like a Dolch set) before i was able to buy into the other colorways?

u can wait for it

but if u like the keycaps at the current stage too, feel free pick a set up
it helps moving on to the next stage!
every set counts

Thanks a lot! Yep, I meant the 6.25. Now I can Dolch up my Leopold 200, I am even more excited for this!

Would it be better for me to order now and amend my order later if my friend(s) decide to join my order. Or should I wait a week or so and do it all together? I am just thinking in regards to you getting a better idea of the numbers etc...

I don't think anyone is going to worry over $1 per pack. But you should try to negotiate them down to $14.50

Please, PLEASE, PLEASE let me know when i can get the purple set!!!!

PLEASE!!!!!
I must have it!

PLEASE!!

Bought a dolch set to move things along (I already have one ><)

I shall take a picture for u of how the space at looks like

And for the $1 mark up, I will try to ask taihao to give that to us for free if we got enough order

Tainan only have 7x 6.25x and 5x space bar mold
So I think it's hard to get a 6x spacebar

How much is the purple set not in the GB?

[GhostofHarry]

How much is the purple set not in the GB?

i can gather the orders and ask for a better price from china vendor
the listed price in taobao is around 23 dollars
maybe 2-3 dollar mark down will be possible if we have enough order

but do not expect to have the add-on pack that we are having now

I'd be down for getting a set, and probably another if the GB gets to that level. I needs me some of my favorite color.
