Does anyone know where to get Russian keycaps for Cherry MX switches? I have done a Google search (in Russian and English) and all I can come up with is the stickers :( Paying US$5 per custom keycap from WASD is a bit steep. I also own a model M and if i could get Russian keys on either I would be happy.
In Soviet Russia, key caps you!
On a more serious note, I would say WASD or look for vintage Cherry sets on deskthority. Or just use ANSI key caps and switch to ЯВЕРТЫ.
You know I've seen LOTS of ALPS and Cherry MX Russian caps but never IBM. Cold War period hangover?
Off to deskthority...
I would be willing to purchase an ALPS board just to use Russian caps. Where have you seen them?
I meant that the probability of finding Cyrillic caps on deskthority is higher, since geekhack users are predominantly from the US, but that doesn't mean that on DT people are selling double shot Cyrillic boards left and right.
What's with the influx of Russian users at GH lately, I don't feel like a unique snowflake any more.
I found that out shortly after visiting :(
There's a LOT of Russians in this world... Just saying ;)
disappointtments - yes.Show Image(http://i1112.photobucket.com/albums/k494/tipo33/Lian%20li%20project/3eb33a4c007564eb123cc76b34a8a81f_500_0_0.jpg)
Perhaps we are getting close to groupbuy. A lot more people have expressed interest in Russian or some other Cyrillic based layouts recently.
Thing is, to make it best for prices, would need to do a flat profile. That way it is easy to use the same set for Russian, Moldovan, Serbian, Bulgarian, etc since they all have many of the same characters but in different places. Maybe include Greek as well, since has many of the same characters too.

I dunno, I sort of thing red on beige Dyesub PBT would look nice, too.
Or orange like the secondary Cyrillic pad-printing on some Cherry double-shots. Problem is, does SP have flat profile PBTs? And do we need SVGs for the actual legends? This could get expensive very fast.That sounds soooooo expensive via SP

Just standard PBT through them with no legend fees is ridiculous already
I would love to do them in orange on white personally, but not everyone likes orange.
I know, right. Crazies. I posted my Poker with orange keycaps somewhere, and there was someone going on about how it looked like puked up carrot pie or some nonsense...

I just emailed WASD about the submit a design option and if they would do a Russian layout for a resonable price. Waiting for a reply, will keep you guys posted.
I doubt anybody would really want to go through WASD. People want dye-sub PBT or double-shot ABS, not lasered ABS. No need for a GB through WASD either.
it needs Minimum Order Quantity for production.In other words - it should be massive group buy.
Well if anyone remembers my post about finding another keycap manufacturer Key-Tech, I heard back from them today. No good news, they only deal with OEM and not small orders.
I just opened the thread
WTF

Typical.
It's not a symbol of communism - it's a hammer and sickle - CCCP symbol.
Is that all it represents?

There's also nothing offensive about the CCCP...unless there's something I'm missing?
I'm more offended by your avatar and signature actually.
Pssh kisa, you're balling enough to get some legit Cherry Russian keycaps, Not sure if they're double shot or triple shot, since Cherry's pad printing/dyesub is top notch but it does look like triple shot to meAll right.
Wonder how rare it is, Korean's always get the rare stuff.

All of the Russian ones legends are pad print as far I have found.
Good luck buying that one.
I should have said, all of doubleshot Cherry ones with a 2nd Cyrillic legend I have seen is pad print. Same goes for other layouts that they do on top of US/UK/DE boards. I did recall seeing a tripleshot something, but pretty sure it was some other brand, I think on ALPS.There was also a quadruple shot:
