So if I understand correctly, Gateron has something whiter that the white in this pic?
That's impressive.

Yea. Hardcore white CC kind.

I had a pic from one of the previous times........

[Shadovved]

Found it in my old post....Quoting me.

Colours (dark grey, light grey, beige, cool white, blinded by white.......dont use a full set of this)

[vindaon]

To be honest I'm kind of interested in that super white color.

Do you know anything about the light grey, though? Is it the same as Massdrop's light grey?

The rest are the same. I guess.

I have no idea what Massdrop is talking about because most of their pictures of the full sets look like renders.

Just use the pics in the op to decide for my group buy. They are actual keycaps taken in different lighting conditions.

[cinnamoncider]

It's so white that it looks like a virgin. Maybe we should call it virgin white  )

[Cameron]

At what point are these going to be invoiced? Is there any MOQ you're waiting to reach?

[melkenshawn]

Exactly. It actually looks kinda cool. Like some kind of jelly POM.

How much does LED shine through the white ones in this GB?
I have a white Poker 2 with stock thick PBT caps and the LED shines through quite a lot.

I would be surprised if you could see much LED shine if any through this kind of thickness of PBT.

Edit: apparently I am wrong

[Nuum]

LEDs shine through thick white/ligh colored PBT quite well.

Ordered the classic cherry beige 2 tone looking set. Anyway we can get atleast another 1.25 for for iso shift and an extra 1u for z row and a row? Hopefully this one goes as quick as the gateron switch GB! You're the man shadovved

I hope to put them on my old cherry beige iso board, but it's literally my fav color combo of keycaps so they might end up on the poker X I just bought.

[Wilba]

I'm tempted to get a set just for the 6U spacebar and use it with GMK Hyperfuse for a HHKB layout.

Does anyone know if the light grey would match the light grey used in GMK Hyperfuse (2M)?

[Shadovved]

I'll invoice before the GB ends, dont worry.

I'm just a little busy these days, probably this weekend the invoices will go out.

The profile pictures posted seem to show a very slight difference between the Gateron PBT and the Cherry POM (I am not familiar with Cherry POM keycaps, whether Cherry profiles regardless of source are identical.. one would think but you never know). Just eyeballing my Vortex Cherry keycaps against the Gateron PBT profile image, the Gateron PBT seems to match the Vortex Cherry profile.. are they a profile match?

If you have any (dark) Vortex Cherry keycaps on hand, would be interested in seeing an image contrasting it to the dark gray Gateron PBT with the Vortex.

Gotta ask those people who got samples. I scattered my set to the wind as samples

Wrong thread, sorry.

[skycrimes]

I can't tell but is the lightgray/beige the closest color set to granite :x?

[lasttycoon]

I am not sure that this has been answered but I have read through the thread and the over view of these caps but I am still confused about one thing. Are these the same as the IMSTO PBT caps?

[slip84]

Finally got an order in.

[sdiearly]

IMSTO's caps are from two different vendor.

1. Vortex Thick PBT in Cherry profile. (Usually bundle in 105 keys), this caps in Massdrop.com had also been hold gb before.(laser printed)
2. Gateron Thick PBT in Cherry profile. (bundle in 117 keys) This is same as which is activating in Massdrop.com
    And only imsto have black color now.

Here I have many kinds of key caps from different vendors.

Hi Shadovved, will we get extra modifier keys and stepped caps lock like on MD?

EDIT:
Can you confirm: Light grey is really a dark shade of beige? Hard to decide what color I should get :/

White is white white, beige is warmer white. Light Grey is more greyish than the previous two.

Hi, thanks for the reply. What i want to know is if Light Grey has a warm tone to it or if it is complely desaturated in color (compare model M mods to HHKB mods which are completely gray-scale)

Also, will the stepped caps lock fit on a regular ansi board? It says the stem is off-centered on the stepped key. Not sure what that means :/

Gotta have infiniti step in for this.

He used Model M keys as comparison didnt he?

The full touch caps lock is center stemmed and will a regular ANSI board.

The stepped caps lock is off-center stemmed.

[FreeChemicals]

Ordered, finally decided which sets I want 

On another note, yesterday I received an email, with the subject "Shadovved Stickers", and then it continues "Thank you for supporting the Gateron GB ! This email contains the tracking information regarding your package.".

?? I assume these are the clear tops I've ordered

To explain what off-center stem means with a pic (from deskthority)...

The middle is a centered stem. The other two are off-center.

Yes it is. I havent invoiced for the PBT caps yet. I'm nice but not THAT nice

[Grrizz]

So does anyone know how far off centre these are? 0.25U or something?

I was on the lookout for some PBT keycaps with legends, but the price on this was just too good!
Had difficulty in choosing, ended up with ordering dark grey mods + beige alphas.

My first GB here!

[Lord of Narwhals]

Picture from MD with dark grey modifiers and milk alphas.


I just ordered a white set. Should fit my white Poker 2 nicely

Does milky = light grey beige? I really like it btw.

[ironpup]

Is there anyway I can get a the \| key in the modifier color instead of the alpha color? Or maybe just an extra 1.5 key in the modifier color?

[bovineblitz]

I was wondering the same thing.  Would like an extra 1.0 too for the tilde.

From other thread;

Gateron molds in sets of 117, they'll have to take apart another set to add the keys. Not willing.

If your keyboard is < 100%, you can take it from the tenkey.

Ah okay, thanks for the info, hard to wade through it all getting into the GB game a little late.

I think that's white.

Gateron has 5 colours available. I don't care what MD calls them, white, milk....

And check out their caps of the board above that dark grey with milk - that is how white the white white (most right hand cap on my pic) is.

I only ran the first 4 colours on the left: dark grey, light grey, beige, white.

[Spaceman1200]

in for light grey/beige set! Thanks for all your work Shadovved!!

[bueller]

Great price for a two tone set, I'm in for dark grey mods and white alphas

[Grrizz]

Tough decision so I just ordered a bunch of 'em

Wow I wanted to go for the White caps but they are very... white. 

I come from Massdrop which is running an equivalent sale I think. There is a discussion over there but you guys may have the answer.
Can I use these keycaps for the custom keyboard I am planning with Costar stabilizers? Thank you. 

[samhwang]

well I think you can, provided that you would use a standard layout i guess


Anyway, does anyone know when Shadovved will send the invoice ? i'm too hyped to even wait T___T

It says orders close a week from today, so I'd assume some time shortly after.

[cinnamoncider]

Signed-up for light grey mods and beige alphas! Chose here instead of Massdrop! Hype!

[nephiel]

Just submitted order for one Dark Grey.

Suppose I want to draw some legends by hand on the side of these. What kind of marker or paint should I use? I don't mind a ghetto look, but I'd like to be able to remove the marks without leaving stains.
