Really hoping there's enough interest for an extras set (extra 2.25x shift, different mode, etc.) in the future. From reading through all the pages in this thread I know I'm not the only one out there that is looking for some extra keys to complete their keyboard set (FC660).

Is it just the shift that is different on the Leopolds? What else is non standard on it?

The single meta/windows key is also 1x. But that's really it.

Isn´t the spacebar a bit different too? like the stem spacing or something like that ?

Yea the ones that aren't the new Korean version (which have normal spacebar stems like the FC750RT) have the weird Leopold stabilizer placement. The spacebars in this set are compatible with the FC660 but IIRC you had to dremel down a stem that was too close or cut the plastic bit that's meant to guide the stabilizer.

Considering joining this group buy. Someone said that this set might have issues with the spacebar on a Novatouch. Can anyone confirm or deny this from the previous rounds because I would probably buy the Japanese for a Novatouch

Thanks!

Yes, you'll have to dremel off the extra stems:

minTea · « **Reply #211 on:** Thu, 11 June 2015, 17:14:52 »

But I love the fact that these will have the Gateron thickness! Oh what a cruel world indeed! haha. I mean I guess I could buy a dremel but I'd rather not. Maybe I could buy and find a matching black PBT spacebar somewhere else for it.

So I have been thinking about these keys alot and I feel that there is a serious lack of pictures in this thread. Hopefully these will inspire some more people to jump on board this awesome group buy. I stole these from pr0ximity, and I saw the OP on Reddit. Hope he doesn't mind me posting these, but these pictures inspired my purchase!

I've heard Widebasket on Ebay has them, ~~the Dyesub grey ones(can't seem to find on his ebay currently)~~ are Korean made and have the normal stabilizer positions~~, the other ones I haven't heard either way definitively, you could probably message him and ask~~. edit: might of misunderstood the post I saw as it looks like all of his are Korean, and the grey dyesub version is chinese made?

Quote from: Sencha on Mon, 08 June 2015, 10:17:25

Just about to get another FC660m but this one is Korean made and has the standard space bar stems. I know the grey dye subs fit the chinese made with the narrow stems but does the space bar cap have stems for standard as well?

Many thanks

Ordered a set of black on black and a blank black set a well. Grabbing a few sets from the gateron cherry profile blank to go with them - I'm thinking blank mods with black on black for alpha and numbers (maybe not both) and mixing either beige or milk to offset the dark. I currently have a dark grey nova touch, but will be using a silver top duck Orion, so I'm liking the silver black combo. I like to have all options covered ( 4 total cherry profile sets, and I already have a front printed vortex and blank vortex oem profile sets. )

Unfortunately it is not a given :/ Ivan confirmed about 2-4 month time after invoice but I think in the past this buy had some considerable delays due to manufacturing problems. The last wave waited over a year if I am not mistaken. Seems like turn around will but much faster this time due to the fact that he working directly with the manufacturer and has already worked out the kinks. (Feel free to correct me if I am wrong, it is just what I have gathered from my conversations about this set.)

Just a quick question to the set.
What lettering would the marked keys would have in a normal US dyesub set?

(Attachment Link)

Just wanted to know wether or not it fits perfect with a 1800 layout.
With blanks there would be only one R2 1u and one R3 1u missing to have a perfect fit for a 1800 layout...

Would it be possible to get those two keys with a blank set?

I'm guessing the 1u r4 would be an Fn key

E3E · « **Reply #237 on:** Wed, 17 June 2015, 00:21:53 »

Gonna blank it up, baby!

One, because I'm TRYING to be thrifty, and Two, because Black blanks will go great with the Dark Grey blanks on Massdrop and in the end, I'll have enough for two keyboards, and I've got two cases needing to be filled. Sweeet.

Eventually, I'm gonna save up for some delicious keycaps, but for now, these are very tasty!

Apologies for putting in an order before I saw the spacebar issues with the Novatouch. I'd muck it up trying to dremel them out so I'm going to pass on this, sorry for wasting your time.

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #248 on:** Fri, 19 June 2015, 08:43:07 »

For those that are concerned about the 6.25 spacebar stems... if you don't mind mixing with ABS you can always order some spacebar from the Miami Nights buy. Same profile, option to add a splash of color.

gridMENSCH · « **Reply #249 on:** Fri, 19 June 2015, 13:14:21 »

It actually occurred to me that I have a Vortex PBT spacebar, are these a similar colour? If so, can I still pay this invoice now? Thanks for your time.
