The only suggestion I have is to put the actual name of the store in each listing, so it would look like say.... Although I can understand how this could be hard if the store name isn't apparent with some people, like say Feng's shop.

I know it could change over time, but is it worth listing what type of keycaps they sell?

Like MX, Topre, BS.

Full sets, novelty, partial sets.

PBT, ABS, POM.

I guess it would be better to create a glossary for those terms in another thread (list of terms/glossary of words) that are frequently used inside the keyboard domain. If somebody has the heart to start it we could dress a list that defines terms in accurate ways therefor newbies could refer to these definitions and afterwards be on the watch for their specific needs for keycaps/keyboards.

Because even if i sort keycaps selling sites by these criterias i hardly believe a person who needs to refer to a list to find some keycaps knows what they mean, therefor he'll have no clue how the list is sorted out.

That's a really good idea Quardah, however, information like that might be better served through updating and optimizing the information found in the GH-Wiki than in a thread.

Anyway, the problem with mentioning what types of products these vendors sell is that I'm sure a lot of them may sell products that are essentially one-offs such as artisan keycaps, special group buy set leftovers, and whatnot. I guess what I'm trying to say is the stock may not always be consistent so it might be futile to list what they may sell if in fact, they're not selling it. But then again I guess rowdy already brought that up.... oh well lol

Quardah · « **Reply #56 on:** Mon, 15 July 2013, 20:54:24 »

Yeah well, i believe as of now the list is pretty clean. I'll come back from times to time to update if people leave some additional sites or comments.

I believe i'll start one with keyboards. Now that's gonna be pretty crazy; it's going to be a lot more work. But hey keyboard classification will be pretty easy; switches first, then i'll go for form factor and afterwards i'll specify if it's backlite enabled or not. Only thing, the list is going to be daaaaaamn long.

GH-Wiki might be going away. Check out this thread. I've talked to rkinze as well but I'm not 100% as to how the new system will work. We'll see soon I think.

Interesting... I haven't used the Wiki all that much so I guess I wouldn't mourn it's loss that much. The question is, where are we going to move all the information to?

CPTBadAss · « **Reply #59 on:** Tue, 16 July 2013, 09:58:10 »

I don't want to say in case I'm not supposed to or rknize decides to go with something different. But it will be centralized and there shouldn't be a need for a Wiki account or to learn Wiki code.

Quardah · « **Reply #60 on:** Tue, 16 July 2013, 10:46:28 »

Yeah a Wiki is pretty useless considering everything can be found on Wikipedia these days. It's for the best that people work on Wikipedia since this is where everybody converges to get information, and since people working on GH wiki has the goal to inform people, it'll be for the best that they move their information towards where people actually look for it.

That's logical "natural selection" on the internet. Small sites get to be eaten by bigger sites.

CPTBadAss · « **Reply #62 on:** Sun, 21 July 2013, 09:37:55 »

The OP really needs to be updated to say what the name of the companies/vendors are instead of who manages the store. Not everyone knows who Sherryton is but they might know of Originative.

It should really have the name of the vendor/store/site (Originative), who runs it (Sherryton), then the website and vendor sub-forum links.

And if you could create a table or space out the lines more so that it's easier to read that be great. It just looks like a mess of urls.

I will look forward to make the table cleaner if that's what you wish for.

If you want me to add the vendor names someone will have to tell me what they are. I do not have any problems into adding this information to the table but i just don't know where to fetch it for everyone. Maybe you can help me on that one.

Thanks.

CPTBadAss · « **Reply #64 on:** Tue, 23 July 2013, 13:29:42 »

The vendor name is the name of the website....Keypop.org = Keypop, Techkeys.us = TechKeys, Originativeco.com = Originative. You can click on the links that you posted and look at the website name...

And moose posted the link as to how to make a table.

I was going to add this information to the Simple Questions thread but I don't think the information is organized properly.

There aren't that many topre caps to be had besides on EK.

microjackson · « **Reply #68 on:** Thu, 25 July 2013, 20:49:59 »

Its unfortunate that's the way it is. Limited selection and coolest stuff is out of stock.. I wish someone would start making them here in the U.S.!

CPTBadAss · « **Reply #69 on:** Thu, 25 July 2013, 20:50:52 »

There's not really a market for them I think. You can ask BunnyLake to make you some customs though.

rowdy · « **Reply #70 on:** Thu, 25 July 2013, 20:57:18 »

There is an increasing market - a few people recently have asked where to get custom Topre caps from, especially for a HHKB which the RealForce keycaps don't suit.

microjackson · « **Reply #71 on:** Thu, 25 July 2013, 20:58:02 »

Hummm guyz,

It's a little out of topic but i would really enjoy trying Topre switches.

Is anyone aware of a trick to try them in La Belle Province without having to pay 300$+? I mean a god damn HHKB is 260$ plus ****in' 20$ shipping plus here in Québec we have ****ing "dédoinage" which i have no clue how to say it in english but it's about 15% of total price (about 42$!)

Yeah that's ****ing ridiculous for trying a specific switch type but it looks like G33k-Nirvana to me.

Anyway my B-day is November Third maybe somebody can spare me a HHBK (Black Non-Printed would be GOLD) for free lol

Or maybe if i ask elitekeyboard very kindly they'll send me one for free (how can you deny something to a very polite little canadian?) and hell if they do so i'll send them some maple syrup or something.

I want Topre so bad

I believe the English word for "dédoinage" is customs fees aka protectionism aka screwing the consumer up the arse so the government can make a few extra $$$ in the name of "protecting home industry"

It looks neat but i would like to change the border color to red.

Anyone knows how to change table border color to red? tried bordercolor="red" but it's not working.

Hum little question here;

What list are we talking about? All three needs to be updated with vendor's name? I mean i don't mind adding it but i just wanna make sure once i've updated it, it does the trick for good.

Thanks & glad you told me.

CPTBadAss · « **Reply #82 on:** Wed, 07 August 2013, 07:10:21 »

All of them.

Having a *name* of the vendor associated with everything will make it easier to remember. As opposed to trying to remember different representatives/website URLs.

Also, BunnyLake and Tym have a vendor sub-forum here. Link is: http://geekhack.org/index.php?board=143.0

They've been selling various things such as the Miami GB and Tym's shotgun caps out of there.

So... maybe this is common knowledge with everyone, and I'm just out of the loop, but where does one buy those Transformers Brobot keycaps? Are they now completely out of production, and I have to buy those second-hand?

If not, where are they being sold? If there is a site that sells them, is it something like clacks, where they only appear whenever they are available, and then disappear from the site when they're sold out?

Check out Bro Caps' vendor forum. The V1s you'll have to buy second hand. They were on sale at TechKeys for a little while.

Hi! So...I just designed my own keycaps for cherry switches, that are pretty dope. I modified it so that it is a tad bit smaller, so you can fit more keys in an area.
I am not in manufacture phase yet, but getting there. I and a buddy of mine will be launching a kickstarter soon showcasing our new input device that will showcase our caps+ more.
