Due to a mixup and out of respect I decided not to do the Cherry DyeSub GroupBuy at this time. It might be done in the future using a different font.

Sorry to all that were looking forward to these, but the VIM keys are still up ^_^

Thanks

Are these replica keys from SP?

[DanGWanG]

Ordered!

Yes, Replica Cherry dyesub from SP

[telepete]

Ordered. Thanks... again...

[boost]

Going to switch up the blue to be more towards the cherry style

[sth]

in it 2 win it

[limmy]

I am interested! Can I use bubble mailer option for multiple sets? Two sets maybe?

When do you think this GB will end? I am fairly new to GH GB, so if someone could help me out that would be great.

[yearn4]

@limmy, it depends on how much interest the gb gets

in this case, i strongly think this gb will be a success in terms of interest so it should end in about a month and then the 3 month processing time so you should get these keys in october-november

[ekw808]

Why does it feel like the RGBY GB's are nonstop?

[Glissant]

Just posting to have this up when I get to a desktop . Going to order a winkeyless and a winkey set for sure.
Any idea how long you will be running this, so I know where to have the keys sent.

[boost]

Going to have it open for 4-5 weeks

[Elrick]

Going to have it open for 4-5 weeks

Good one buddy.  I'm in for 4 sets of each.

Priority to Canada is too low. Charge the same as intentional or else you're going to be paying out of pocket to make up for the rest.

[ZcHuer]

I will assume the Vim Key is double shot. How about the RGB set? Are they thick pbt (like imsto ones). or just normal ones? And are they of cherry profile, I mean the cherry height and cherry style sharp edges (comparing with OEM's round edges)?

[DrugER]

The vim key is 2-shot and the RGBs are dyesub.  Both can only be SP's standard profile which doesn't quite match Cherry profile.

Acoustics. Thick keys have a much different sound, more of a 'thock', I guess.

I just did an anecdotal test.
Thick caps may sound 'lower' because they don't vibrate as much as thinner caps, but to my ears it just sounds like fewer frequencies, not just lower frequencies. In fact, removing some of the noise makes the sound HIGHER to me. Cherry DS > SP DS > Cherry lasered PBT in order from 'highest' to 'lowest'.

Of course this also changes when you change keyboards.

Your are right, MagicMeatball.  And also it's partly because the cherry double shot caps are thick ones. I am really addict to cherry original key caps and can't stop loving the cherry style :-D

hi Boost, this set is compatible with Thick PBT Dye - Sub of Imsto ?

[MMB]

different heights.

boost, you should really put this info in the OP because you're going to be asked 100 times.

with the info in the OP, you'll just be asked 98 times since nobody reads the OP.

Just in case anyone else didn't know this. Below is from support.google.com

Gmail doesn't recognize dots as characters within usernames, you can add or remove the dots from a Gmail address without changing the actual destination address; they'll all go to your inbox, and only yours. In short:

Thanks.. Didn't think abt that...

[nntnam]

That's great, boost!

One question, will the blue be the same as the blue in original RGB set, or like in mbc's set (a bit darker than cherry RGB)?

[MMB]

or




Which do you think is more color accurate?

[nntnam]

^ I'm mentioning the blue color in the cherry PBT dye sub. I'm okay with darker blue but I also want something that is close to the original set. Lol.

btw, thanks for the pics, MMB, I forgot that there is two cherry RGB set .

[demik]

Well since these are trying to copy desko dye subs.. It should be desko colors.

[nntnam]

^nice, I've already had a desko set (non-RGB) from you, demik. Se excited to put them together .

[demik]

You mean the aggie doubleshot rgb?

I've only had one dye sub rgb desko and now it resides in Korea o.O

[nntnam]

The one you've sold me, is it from a desko keyboard?

Btw, order submitted for:

4x vim keys
2x winkey set
2x winkeyless set

Thanks boost for running this. I have been waiting so long 

[longweight]

Order placed for one RGB+Y Winkey set.

[boost]

Looking to do a lighter blue. I think the red and green looks fine.

[snoopy]

ordered 2 vim keys :-)

Esc Key image up..Thanks HashBaz

[Zehkul]

A normal vim key, yay. :3

I dunno. I can definitely hear a difference between standard SP keycaps and imsto thick caps.

Different materials, completely different molds. The difference between KBC and SP PBT is similarly “huge”, by the way, without any real differences in thickness.

I don’t give a damn about key thickness, and I’ve got original Cherry dye subs.

[Acanthophis]

*Set up charge for each order - $50

Is this the price from SP for the GB in general or does this add to each of our orders?

[boost]

$50 to run the winkey setm $50 to run winkeyless, ect. Its their setup charge.

[Acanthophis]

But this is already embedded into the price?
Or do you wait how many orders get in and then evenly split the $50?

[funkymeeba]

Aw yeah, getting in on this Vim cap action. I think 6 of them should cover me.

SP still charges us the set up fee for the red Esc even though we have already have it in winkey and winkeyless set?

i guess the winkeyless version won't fully fit on a Corsair K60 or K90:



the left alt is slightly shorter than ctrl. oh well. at least i'll get a set for some other boards and a VIM key!! thanks for the group buy.

[tsangan]

You need to get a winkey and a winkeyless set to mix and match both of those sets, the Corsair K60 or K90 has a 1.25x alt but a 1.5x ctrl along with a 1x win

Hey~ stop copying my idea lol 
hashbaz, boost, u guys really had to do this, huh? With the same exact fonts?
I already told you guys that I would distribute some in GH.
I put in 3 months of planning and pondering time, and this is just a simple do-it-over group buy (with the exception of an ESC key and an ISO left shift)?

Never mind, GLWGB.

[Glissant]

If you are offering the same thing, soulfree914, be sure people will buy them off of you =).

[telepete]

Wat :[

[reaper]

This is understandable.  I wouldn't want to run any group buy for the same keycaps that someone else is doing either.  IMO, boost did the right thing here.  Not to mention that soulfree914 said he would distribute some of those keycaps here.

[Bim Gao]

What?? so upset

[jdcarpe]

Link to where we can get in on the other GB from soulfree914?

[boost]

Don't worry. Sets will make it to geekhack

[limmy]

GB from soulfree914 was over as far I recall. The orders are closed and no additional order is possible.

Why is it bad to remake what is already a replica? I don't understand. Please understand I am new to this GB and I don't understand how it works. More background information please?

[jdcarpe]

Is there not one person in the entire membership of this forum who can coordinate us getting in on group buys from KBDMania/OTD? Taeyoung usually places a large order in the group buys here, so that the Koreans can get in on our group buys. Can that not work both ways? I'm sick of getting the leftovers.

Sorry, boost, it's your GB to run as you see fit. It just p1sses me the fsck off when we can't get the cool shiz they are offering on those forums.

[nntnam]

Can't believe  . Why we can't have the GB of our own? As I remember, the nyancat GB took order from KBD also....

[yearn4]

why did soulfree914 even post at all if his GB is already closed?
there was literally no point in his post since this GB has ZERO effect on his since we can't even participate in his regardless...
boost you should just reinstate this GB imo

[DanGWanG]

I thought maybe a merge was possible.  Is that not feasible?

[nntnam]

I thought maybe a merge was possible.  Is that not feasible?

I just wonder if the leftover from GB in KBTmania/OTD would be enough for GH/DT's demand (about 150-200 sets of each type), I worry that just some of us have chance to grab them and then re-sell them at a much much higher cost.

This is exactly what happens.

BTW, Limmy is the one that posted the link to this GB on KBDMania so that anyone there who missed the GB could get in on this one: http://www.kbdmania.net/xe/4877368

[telepete]

Yep. There's no way the leftovers will be even close to the prices we would have got from our own GB.

X2. Sorry

[jdcarpe]

Why apologize? This was a different GB on a different forum with different members. Yes, the idea behind it was the same, but boost was making something available to us that wasn't available before. Why settle for limited amounts of a set with fewer keys, when we could easily do our own?

[limmy]

Could you explain how it is stepping on soulfree's toes? The orders in his GB are closed and he is no longer taking any orders.

My common sense tells me it is okay to do another GB. I believe many are confused as well.

[MMB]

Because a group buy is happening in Korea, you cancel this? It's not like anyone here can easily go and place an order there. It's pretty ridiculous that you can't run both. Did KBD come to GH and invite us to the buy? No. So why not run out own? Makes zero sense.

I understand this perspective, but I think boost did the prudent thing in suspending the buy.  Let's wait for soulfree to explain himself a little more before passing judgment.

I understand where you guys are coming from, I really do...

Give me a few hours and I will get back to you with what is going to happen with this GB..Got a meeting I must attend at work in 16 minutes.

Aww, this is quite sad to hear. Well, I'll hold my judgement back on this for now. Definitely planned to order a set or 2

It's not just the language barrier. I don't think they typically use Paypal.

[OrangeJewce]

It's not just the language barrier. I don't think they typically use Paypal.

Add to that: to even get the keys here is much more expensive, and our standard keyboard layout doesn't match theirs?

for the purposes of this GB, their layout is the same.

[MMB]

Either way, if their GB is over, there is no logical reason not to run an RGBY dyesub GB for GH/DT......
