That's really nice Vesper. Stinks about the slight imperfections though. BTW, Can you feel the scratches?

These pics are making me sooo jelly

Luckily, you cannot feel the scratches on majority of the scratches but for large and wide scratches like that on my spacebar, you can feel them However, even those are ever so light to the touch. They look way worse than they feel

You'll have yours soon. What color set did you order?

[bazemk1979]

do it

Done diggity


Okay~ So for my report: I just placed them on my keyboard and must say they feel pretty damn good! They are currently placed on the Ducky Greens and I can say that the click does seem slightly more crisp but I wouldn't say more pronounced. I did notice though that the sound does get dampened quite a bit, which I expected because of the thicker plastic. It is now more of a clack than a click. I wouldn't say this is a bad thing but rather just different.

There is one problem that I did notice though, and that's that there seems to be a significant amount of scratches on them. This is my first time buying dyesub thick PBT's so I don't know if this a common issue but I just assumed it to be so. The numpad enter also has really warped paint/color. For the price I bought it though, I can't really complain I will post some pictures of this issue though. The blemishes didn't come out as well as I hoped but as those that have tried taking pictures of issues on keycaps before, it's not so easy to get the lighting right.

Also need to straighten out my spacebar but mine didn't come too bad. It doesn't really affect the functioning of the keycap but the slight bent shape is bugging me so I'll probably do the hot water treatment.

Here are some pictures of the scratches and warped dye color (they are more apparent and obvious in real life than these pictures). Click on the pictures for zoom and then click on the zoomed picture again for max resolution which you can drag around.

Lighting

Yeh, I'd have to agree with Jocelyn. It's most likely the lighting because with a lower light setting, my greys seem a lot darker colored like that of the picture of the wyse set. Overall though, I think the grey color is fairly light, which I kind of like.

WYSE, but I think I was one of the last to order.

[VesperSAINT]

WYSE, but I think I was one of the last to order.

*sigh* With all these scratches, I kind of wish I had just gone with my first choice and got WYSE set (white keys probably don't show scratches).

[bazemk1979]

makes me wonder how they got scratched out, was the delivery packaging in order?

[VesperSAINT]

Yeh, they were packaged just fine. I'm sure it wasn't Feng's fault, and it was probably scratched when being shipped from China. Them hoes probably couldn't care less about quality control. They probably assume that the buyers won't send back the keycaps because of a few scratches and warped dying.

[do_Og@n]

I think some of the scratching might be from the sharper corners on these keycaps than I've seen on any others.

Vesper...

You have my exact order as well...

I'm jelly right now...

Grey and steel keycap puller? Don't be too jelly. Your's will be there soon enough and you'll forget all about the wait

[Wirer]

It's been a month since my last post and I'm still not marked as shipped

I wouldn't worry about the status. Feng seems to be keeping track separately. You'll get your items soon! It's worth the wait, my good friend.

[Dsan]

Any update on international orders?

[Vintage]

Yeah don't worry. Pretty sure the list has not been updated in a while. Plenty of people on there that it does not say shipped and some of them have posted pics of their sets

[VesperSAINT]

Dood, I didn't know there were so many Floridians on this forum. I've talked to many and was happily surprised! We should definitely organize a meetup some time but then I can't assure I can make it. Lol!

[bazemk1979]

Any updates on shipping?

Any updates on shipping?

hehe... hahaha... oh ho ho ho... oh you're serious O_O

[bazemk1979]

Any updates on shipping?

don't be starting dude, we asked just about million times about that. Some asked in a nice way and then some were little on the rough side, but the question was delivered. Answer is, Feng is slow when it comes to shipping, he says he has a lot going on with his university. One thing we know though, he has all the sets!!!

EDIT: I'm starting to lose interest in the Wyse set....

[Wirer]

Got my colored set in the mail today. worth the wait. thanks feng

[VesperSAINT]

Got my colored set in the mail today. worth the wait. thanks feng

What colored set? If not grey, post them pics, brother!

[bazemk1979]

post pic either way, my set was mailed today

[RickyJ]

Got my grey set on Thursday, haven't had a chance to lay them out yet. Spacebar is warped, as is normal for PBT.

[bazemk1979]

received the set, The gray color is not as we saw in the first photoshop mock up, the gray color is actually few shades lighter and a touch of blueish. Unusual gray but looks nice no doubt. Overall the whole set looks nice.

**** PROBLEM****

- I received 2 x PAGE UP instead, page up and page down

I remember there was a guy here posting receiving 2 same keycaps but not sure who it was, gonna try and find his post. Here are the pics and disregard the P key, somehow I tossed it in by mistake there.

- There ios a scratch on 1 of the window key but not a big deal.

-Space bar was warped, not a big deal straighten it out in 1 min with hot water.

[jooks1184]

Just got my blue pbt set in the mail today and I have to say, the quality of the keycaps made the wait worth it.

[Wirer]

Here's some pics of the rainbow set on my 6gv2. Of course, the spacebar is warped as many people have noted, but it isn't much of a problem. Definitely worth the wait. I'm also surprised how the greenish keycaps turned out in the pictures as well because they are a lot more green than they look.

[bazemk1979]

looks good

[missalaire]

Ive gotta say, these thick pbts are my new fav keys.  Amazing feel:  better than even SP's doubleshots...

If only there were more color options in thick pbt

[Germiphene]

Been waiting since the beginning of January........

As long as I get mine before the next thick pbt GB so that I would know if I want another set for sure or not I'll be happy
