I want to hack my wallet for this...badly...

Hack it. This one is worth it.

This and Hyperfuse are 2 of the only 3 group buys I'll agree this is true for this year.

I feel you, man. As soon as I saw Hyperfuse, pulled the trigger. As soon as I saw this, pulled the trigger.

2015 has been a solid year for GBs.

I have prepared all parts for TX1800 for a long time.
All parts were ready. but keycaps not yet.
But, today I heard a good news.
Korean keycap producer(=LIN3) can make keycaps for TX1800.
The keycaps are dyesub PBT, Cherry profiles, 105key set. (1800winkeyless + winkey)
Colors of Letters are black, blue, orange and purple.(4color)
The price of keycaps is $70 (for TX1800 buyer), $80 (for only keycaps buyer).

Here is 105keys layout. (NOT Black doubleshot)


Here are LIN3's Proto keycaps.

Those keycap sets are gorgeous. Any idea how long it would take to produce them?

[yicaoyimu]

Hey ki, I haven't received your invoice yet.

[kin25]

keycap bases(blank) are ready.
he starts printing soon.
i can send all(housing, pcb, parts, keycaps) together in April.

[kin25]

hi, caomu
ok, i will send an invoice.

[tjweir]

Order sent!

[ljfkidd]

Anyone have any info on LIN3, website or anything?

If I am interested in only the keycaps, would they be able to ship earlier? It sounds like they would be finished earlier but waiting until the rest of the keyboard is ready in April, however I just want the keycaps!    Thanks kin25

I have the LIN3 blank beige/grey set coming to me from the korean group buy.
Overall I've seen only positive reviews, and despite his first keycap design, there's remarkably few flaws.
It was so well-received he's moved on to the multi-color legends right away.
One issue I know is the spacebar being a bit bent for some, but apparently you can straighten it out with hot water/ hair dryer etc.
This issue may not even be present in the updated sets, because he said he would fix it.

Cherry profile, PBT, super thick, dye-subbed. Said to be a very soft texture (softer than HHKB PBT), caps lock not compatible with Filco stem position (but you can use right short shift for the caps lock).
I will write up a review when I do receive them!

That's good to hear! I'm still hoping that Hyperfuse is going to get the extra 1u "+" key for this layout, but if it doesn't then I'm glad that we can get a high-quality set with the order.

Wow that would be awesome, from the detailed shots on Duck's site, they looked to be really nice! I'm really looking forward to your review.

[SL89]

can i please get an ELI5 explanation for what i'd need to order (besides the case, pcb & plate) to build a non backlit 1800? i'm just a bit confused looking thru the thread, especially the white / clear switch nomenclature in the OP.

edit: thanks in advance for any assistance, im navigating this on mobile and the thread is just a bit confusing. 

[kin25]

his working is not finished.
(he made only blank keycaps. he printed some proto to test)
Printing dyesub will be finished in April.
so you can't take only keycaps earlier.
sorry.

Free of Charge - NCS Indicators [3 sockets and 3LED(RGBYW*3=15)
you can change LED colors (just Pick up and Insert)

Sweet Geezus, a complete PBT key-set for our TX1800 keyboard?

Doesn't get better than this, to completely fill out our 1800 keyboards with a Cherry PBT set with all the appropriate profiles, this is RARE as hens teeth  . 

I'm in with this because it's the first time an all PBT set has been offered like this which means no more scavenging off Ebay for suitable 1800 key-sets for my Winkey Layout  .

[elton5354]

Can I order this?

Order sent.  Thanks...

Beige blanks and Black blanks.

[exitfire401]

You are seriously my favorite person on this site right now.

[byker]

I think I am going to need some of those purple dyesubbed caps.

You read my mind

[kin25]

In this GB
Gray Housing & Purple Keycaps set is the most popular.

[kin25]

You can buy beige blanks. but not Black blank. sorry.

and

I will run another GB (3000 layout blank and dyesub) soon.

[BlackDragonTribal]

Old black is vintage black?

[sorijealut]

Omg... feast your eyes on Duck's Octagon pictures of the purple dyes... just beautiful!!
