Anyone looking to get rid of a Black ANSI standard set before Ivan ships them shoot me a PM.

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #852 on:** Wed, 30 October 2013, 08:58:40 »

Orders are about 50% packed. Packed orders will ship today.

Very good news!

thx for the great work Ivan!

Ivan, will you mark international orders as "gift" value or put a low number?
I will have to answer that to customs

Thank you.

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #855 on:** Wed, 30 October 2013, 10:03:02 »

Yes I always do that for international order unless buyer want insurance.

I have extra of nothing full set.

I am tempted to take it, but as I already have one set of blanks coming, I'll let others have the opportunity.

I was reply to separus, as in there is nothing available.

Sorry guys, pics probably won't happen as I wasn't able to borrow a digital camera and am not in mood to be developing film and scanning negatives.

There will be plenty of potato pics in the "what did you get in the mail" soon after people start receiving their set!

And it adds to the surprise for all of us waiting

OMG.

Awesome news.

Something tells me by the time my order arrives to the U.K. other members will have plastered photos of the caps mounted on their keyboards

.

Thx Ivan

Maybe--I just had a package get to the U.K. from the U.S. in exactly 1 week, including delivery! That was just regular 1st class international mail. You could be lucky

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #863 on:** Thu, 31 October 2013, 11:14:49 »

Yeah, I imagine some people will have them by Monday or maybe even sooner.

eyesmiles · « **Reply #864 on:** Thu, 31 October 2013, 20:40:21 »

Miami arrived today. I totally wasn't expecting it. Blue is a tad bit lighter than expected, but a sexy set nonetheless. I think it's by far my favorite dyesub set over my hangul one. Thank you again Ivan

chocobunny · « **Reply #865 on:** Thu, 31 October 2013, 21:06:49 »

I should invest in a decent camera.

Was the fulltouch caps lock supposed to be beige? I ended up getting a beige stepped caps lock and a white fulltouch.

Seriously.. I just got mine in today, and got the white fulltouch caps lock too. I appreciate all the effort put into this because it all looks great (especially the Windows keys on the Black standard set.. spectacular). But I'm disappointed because I specifically asked twice - once by PM, and once in this thread - to verify that the fulltouch caps lock would be beige.

(For those of you who don't know, the last GB round from like a year or two ago for imsto two-tone beige sets had this same exact problem, which is why I knew to ask.)

Pic of Irish on my numpad:

The red on white/beige are BSP dyesubs from sherryton, the 3 teal on gray keys are vintage BSP dyesubs pulled from an old TA Royal Alpha typewriter. Overall the thick PBT keys from imsto are pretty nice, and look great, although I ultimately prefer the BSP keys (their texture is a bit smoother and edges are softer).

A dark pink, closer to a magenta.

Interesting, BSP is a lot more beige on average. The alphas are more beige than IMSTO's already off-white alphas, and the modifiers are more creamy beige too. Glad you've posted the two next to each other!

Aww, I went for this set because it sounded like they fixed the white full touch capslock problem. Oh well I'm sure it will still be sexy as hell. Thanks Ivan for all the hardwork!

Darn. I thought the caps lock problem would have been fixed, too.

It will probably still look good.

But I have to say, that's a real bummer for me. Destroy the beauty of the set for me

In my opinion IMSTO should take care of this and sent everybody who needs one a replacement caps lock key free of charge. I mean what we got, was not what we ordered.

@ Ivan:

Have you shipped my sets already? If not, please hold them until this situation is solved.

Hmm. Yea. I'm not too fussed on this occasion to be perfectly honest.

Loving the pics BTW

- Keep them coming

@LechnerDE
But I agree it can be a show stopper as the issue is very subjective based on an individuals preference and the look they want to achieve.

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #876 on:** Fri, 01 November 2013, 11:32:01 »

There is a few issues, but it may be some time before I could get any replacement so I thought it better to get things out. I'll let you know whats going on when I know.

It would be great to at least be able to buy a proper colored caps lock key for each set type.

Damn I'm sure they were told about the Caps color problem ever since more than year a go and still they do the same mistake over and over. Irresponsible manufacturer management... keys look good no doubt, but repeating same mistake for more than a year?....

There won't be any leftovers, right?

I actually got a printed set + blank set, and had the blank 1.25 keycaps in place of the normal ones. Usually they are the windows key and the menu keys.

The pound sign is correct, that's what the one on my dolch set looks like and also on my black on beige set

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #888 on:** Sat, 02 November 2013, 12:08:35 »

I thought the caps lock was supposed to be fixed, but apparently they still need to make new mold so this problem won't happen. Evidently the fulltouch caps lock is in a mold group with the homing keys and numpad 0.

Photoelectric · « **Reply #889 on:** Sat, 02 November 2013, 12:10:56 »

Why does it matter which mold they use? Isn't it just the color of plastic? If it's proper in white, they could have just cast it in beige/gray instead--or am I missing something?

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #890 on:** Sat, 02 November 2013, 12:12:05 »

Their 'problem' is they didn't want to make those extra keys in other color.

I believe they have groups that get made together and in order to make the caps lock a different color they would also have to make the homing keys and numpad 0 in that color.

The keys are not individually made but made in groups.

It took me a while to realize what you've meant by this, but it makes sense now: their molds have more than one key, so they're putting in all of the same color plastic in that multiple-key mold, and the fulltouch caps lock key is part of a mold that has keys of all the opposite tone. So if they did a beige fulltouch, that means you also get these weird beige versions of other keys as well (like numpad 0, etc.), so that'd increase the cost of the sets because that's more plastic coming through. Still kind of sucks..

I'm guessing that the blue/gray sets are correct because they make full single-tone sets in each of those colors and just mix and match the mods. I don't think they make beige-only toned sets (they wouldn't be purposing them as inverted beige/white two-tone sets.. though that would be interesting).

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #896 on:** Sun, 03 November 2013, 07:08:46 »

Inverted 2tone beige/white is something I would really like to do at some point. I love how that looks on my old Commodore G80-0499HAU.

I should be finish shipping all orders on Monday.
