PBT Dark second wave (production)

[Grrizz]

Love black on black, definitely keen to pick some of these up when I get my finances sorted in the next few days but I notice the Aurebesh brackets are backwards, any chance of having those fixed on the ordered caps?

Edit: Never mind, the direction seems to flip flop depending on the reference, IDK which way is the proper way anymore

[Evo_Spec]

Damn that Japanese black on black is appealing....

[animal]

Is there any chance we can get a 1x6.5 spacebar for us Corsair etc owners?

[db268]

Is it possible to include a second 2.25 Shift key for Leopold FC660M users? Are any of those spacebars compatible with Leopold?

[LXXXIX]

I can't miss out of this. Submitted for 1 Aurebesh and 1 Japanese set. What an intense year for keycaps.

That's the truth coming out of your mouth right there! Tough year for the wallet!

[Dihedral]

This is one cool looking keyset

[taylordcraig]

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

Sorry just to clarify, I don't believe there's a 1u num pad + or proper profile nav keys. That said the included keys are awesome!

[LechnerDE]

would i be able to combine shipping with my Cherry '98 order? Thanks Ivan.

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

So does this mean if we are willing to wait a little longer you would combine this one with our R4 orders so there are no extra shipping costs?

If yes, I'll probably order an US International set

[IvanIvanovich]

They don't have 6.5 size, so no... but a 6.25 size fit just with some small gap between the alt keys. Other key won't be added, or substitutions either.
Sorry, but I am not going to hold items from multiple buys to combine ship anymore. It creates problems for me with storing stuff and keeping track of everything.
This buy is open to anyone. It makes no difference to me how long you have been a forum member... or even if you are a forum member at all.

[six_chains]

so goood.
how much is the priority upgrade?

[Tigermelon]

AURABESH... Also curious how much express shipping costs

[swimmingbird]

argh my wallet... ivan stahp

[IvanIvanovich]

For those curious about shipping costs, please visit the USPS postage calculator. Each set weighs approximately 7oz.

[Dee1]

Gaterons! I'm keen to try these out, and I love the black-on-black look too much to not join this!

Oh that's not so bad. Thanks for the tool.

Ik this is off topic but maybe after Dark Wave we can get some Super Beige action? Or a crazy Gateron / Desko combination? Agh, I'm getting ahead of myself. Don't mind be!

[Shadovved]

I'm really curious if this is really from Gateron.

Because they don't have the 300 pieces MOQ rule...

PS: that chart with all the key sizes for Gateron caps was created by someone else, I'll suggest you cite the source and thank the person who made it (not me)

[IvanIvanovich]

This very deep grey / light black isn't a stock color, so as far as I understand it the MOQ is higher for custom colors.

[swornxin]

Missed out on the last one for these.  I was thinking about getting on the JTK buy, but I have WoB sets already.  I'm thinking that this is taking it's place.  And also a space that fits Leopolds?  Awesome!

EDIT:  Ordered 

[Shadovved]

You haven't gotten any samples or anything before running the GB?

I'll go poke Gateron about this, the price you are getting sounds way too high for their blank and dyesub sets.

I'll see if I can get everyone lowered prices.

Unless you don't want me to go poke Gateron about it?

[Data]

Are there any more photos of these floating around?

[sneaky0]

Is the 6u space bar center stem centered?

[jimbo21223]

Are there any plans to have a group buy for different colored keys? Specifically white ones.

[Cottonsox]

So how close will these be to your last round in color? I am a bit confused is they are from the same source or not.

[IvanIvanovich]

It's the exact same thing as last time. There are a bunch of pictures of sets in there, start at the end and work back.
I deal with imsto, these are the prices I am given.

You could still see how much you would get from them as you are now a Very Important Customer with your 100K gaterons switches!

Well. Talked to Gateron. They don't wanna undercut imsto, so I'll not reveal the price, but they have allowed me to run the other colors (blanks and dyesubs) for cheaps.

[Latin00032]

Is the 6u space bar center stem centered?

I don't think the 6u spacebar is center-stemmed. It doesn't look that way from the pictures I saw.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong. I wanted to use this for my infinity board.

So excited. Sold my set on that GB due to wanting another set, but I'll be in on this one for sure! 

So are we getting the exact same color? Won't this be slightly different since the new manufacturer has to test the color and do tests before the color is right? Or is Plum sharing the color/plastic formula with Gateron? With Plum that took months, what kind of guarantee can we expect with Gateron? If any?

Regarding the color, are you referring to the first IC you did with the clear top but that you dropped due to not enough interest?

[midnightmare]

Is there way to get the 6.25u spacebar with only the center and outermost stems?  I've got a Novatouch and I don't think the spacebar will fit :[  I believe the spacebar from this will be the 2nd one from the top in this pic, can anyone confirm?

[KaLam1ty]

So glad you're doing another run of these Ivan.

Any hopes for a extended 'modifier' set? I'd love to purchase a set that contains an R3 1.75u Backspace and R4 1.25u CapsLock.
I'm sure there are a lot of other people who are interested in things like a R3 Ctrl, Meta/Alt Gr, etc. keys as well.

Yes. And they provide dyesubs too..... So I'll run the blanks first, and find out more about their dyesubs.

Probably run dyesubs after the blanks

Whoo!! can't wait for the dyesubs!! 
Would you consider doing something along the line of red prints on black keys? Something similar to the sanctuary set would be amazing 

[ApocalypseMaow]

Ordered!!! Thanks for running this again so soon!!!

[rsadek]

Would love if the 1u r4 key could be a FN key.

Same here! I love the set, but it doesn't seem like it can support an HHKB-ish layout (split right shift +1u, and Backspace above return, 2x1u above that). Or am I mistaken? I hope I'm mistaken
-R

[IvanIvanovich]

Perhaps I will make some sort of HHKB/Unix layout option for next time.

[Grrizz]

@Ivan: I noticed on the last run you did it looks like the 1u winkeys in the dyesub sets were left blank, will it be the same with these ones? or would it be possible to get the 1u keys dyesubed too? I love the Aurebesh set but it'd be great to have he imperial logos on the 1u winkeys too.

[IvanIvanovich]

yes for sure... they should have been as such last time actually.

[nukec]

37$ for blank is bargain son.

I'm in

[Grrizz]

Will offer the same color or are you intending on adding some more?

They only have the current colours for blanks, but for dyesubs I'm sure our font colours can be more varied.

OK thank you for your answer.

[vindaon]

In for a US Int. and RU set

[naokira]

Okay I gather enough courage to say this...

Can they do an ISO enter? *hides in the corner

[IvanIvanovich]

I've been told they are working on getting ISO enter done, but it's not available right now. Maybe next time we can have it.
