Ripster do you know if they'd be molded like the ones in the first picture? They look like they have a strange inset mountain type thing.  While I love the clear key look, that mold is strange :S.

They look like relegendable keys with the caps off.

Should I ask for a price?

Sure, please ask for a price although I kinda like the idea of just normal caps (the NinjaOtaku) instead of these relegendables.  I would think they would be cheaper too that way.

I did not say we should get the relegendable keys. These would not make sense anyway.

Right now iMav is taking my money to the airport and thinking Brazil or Cuba along with Gaddafi.

No, iMav is still where he should be, because not even half the amount had been paid.

Thanks for introducing new kits, this will give us the opportunity to earn even more money!

Just sent off a request to SP. Until then, I assume they cost the same as other blank keys. But they might be more expansive because the material might be more expansive.

Great, now I raise the price and send the invoices:

quick response from SP:

CLEARBLANK is @ $32 if 15 are produced
CLEARBLANKMOD is @ $34 if 15 are produced.

did not ask for the J-shape return.

If these prices are too high, maybe we take only single sized keys for the top rows.

How about a 12 key FCN row set?   Or a 3 key Scroll/Num/Caps lock set?  

 I expect a lot of people to use them for lighted numlock and other keys.  Especially with the upcoming Leopolds.

From left to right: SP double shot, Cherry double shot, SP blank.

They are thick enough. You can't feel or see their thickness when they are on the switches. If you want really thick clears, you should ask ClickClack (http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?t=9456)!

CLEARBLANK and CLEARBLANKMOD look good and the votes for CLEARBLANKALP and CLEARBLANKFUN are helpful to reach the currently given prices!

I'm confused as sh!t. All I know for a fact is what the CLEARBLANKMOD includes.

CLEARBLANKALP contains 37 alphabet keys? |\ key isn't single so that's excluded? Then there are four keys that are extra, are those meant for arrow keys?

CLEARBLANKFUN are the top F1~F12 + esc, print, scroll lock, pause?

CLEARBLANK is just 90 singular size key caps? why 90? Aren't there 86 singluar key caps in a full keyboard layout?

Where does the enter, |\, capslock, tab, backspace fit into?

The clears will get into the invoices after the deadline, along all the other stuff which has got instable prices (because of instable quantities).

The latest invoice I got contained CAPSLED's which I removed. So I guess I can expect another updated invoice and finally then I'd be able to make payment?

Does anybody need a clear space for old Cherry keyboards (SPACEOLD)?

It would really make my day to have a clear SPACENEW! :pray:

Will the caps-lock-with-off-centre-stem be stepped or unstepped?

Anyone know if these clear keys will be smooth on the typing surface or will they be textured (like the pic of the 2-piece relegendable key Ripster posted earlier)?  I don't like typing on completely smooth keys.  

I'm kind of on the fence about ordering a full set (clearblank+clearblankmod) because it'll bump me past the 250 pieces per box limit so it will double my shipping costs.  Anyone know/guess what the price break/drop will be on the CLEARMOD if it reaches 15 sets?  It's up to 13 sets now so if the price drop will cover most of my 2nd shipping cost I'll probably order a full set.

As far as I know, they are exactly like the normal blanks, just made of clear plastic.

Fingers crossed that they are rough textured on top.  I was typing on a smooth surfaced chiclet-style keyboard on a new Acer laptop recently.... ewww... no grip whatsoever.  Order added, so now we're up to 14 sets of CLEARBLANKMOD, just 1 more set to go for the 15 unit price break.

I got a statistics e-mail update (from my-mbox.net) this morning at 09:02 (GMT -8), so I'm basing it on those numbers from about 6 hours ago, assuming nobody backed out and reduced their quantities.

It could be crystal clear on the sides and only textured on top, which is what I'm hoping for.  Otherwise, I'll be putting them up on the classifieds.  Too bad they don't have a picture of them to take out all the guess work.

Damn. I was just about to ask 'what's happening with SPACENEWCLEAR?'

It shows that I've voted for it, but it's not in the statistics or my invoice. I doubt I want a clear set without it, so I very much hope it gets added in! (even if it works out relatively expensive for just the 4 that I voted for).

Signature says they can't letter them.  It's probably because it's some acryllic type plastic and the pad printing won't hold.

I hope I understand how to vote correctly and don't create any dangling chads.

I'm really glad someone did this and that I didn't yet.  It was on my list of projects from last year but never got time to do it.  Everyone should order these to drive the price down.  Seeing mechanical switches and blue/brown/red/black stems through the keys should be pretty cool.

Wait... so if you want to outfit a full size ANSI Filco for example, would CLEARBLANKMOD do it all for $38 or do you have to get all 4 of these to fill that keyboard?  ($80 for the set?)

CLEARBLANKALP..............3 (Blank Alpha keys) ($12/15 #37)
CLEARBLANKFUN..............6 (Blank Function keys) ($6/15 #16)
CLEARBLANK................14 (Blank keys) ($24/15 #90)
CLEARBLANKMOD.............11 (Blank modifiers including space) ($38/10 #19)
