[Interest Check] SHINY Zinc modifiers!
« on: Fri, 17 February 2012, 00:18:43 »
MKC told me that he's not gonna make Shiny zinc key caps anymore because no many people like those. Might be a bit tacky for someone's taste. Flat-Gloss Zinc ones will be the only option in the future.

Anyway he still have some Shiny zinc keys in stock. So I'm thinking to put these shiny ones into the 2nd round of the Zinc group buy which should be posted in about 1 week.

It really depends on how many people are interested. If no more than 10, I'll probably just do the Flat-Gloss ones.

FYI, the shiny ones could easily get finger-print which means you gotta clean it all the time, otherwise it looks bad.

The price will be the same as Flat-Gloss ones as listed in the 1st round of the Zinc group buy.


So if you're interested, please post your comments it in this thread.

Are these gonna have the same fitting problem like the ones from your other group buy?  Some of the keycaps were pretty tight to the point that you'd have to force it down on the stem and it's a PITA to get that off. lol

No, just the Tab, Caps Lock, Shift, Ctrl, Alt, Enter, and Backspace. In gold and silver colors.

Yeah, unfortunately, there's no solution for that fitting issue so far. All the zinc key would fit very tight. :(
