{GB} Gateron PBT Blank Keysets CLOSED [EXTRAS SOLD OUT]

[tmk1207]

Form for missing keys!

http://goo.gl/forms/AaE5aiVvjr

The form will close on 10 Sept, I will collate all the missing keys and get Gateron to replace them.

Please try to be patient.

Thanks!

Paid a bit earlier for a LG/beige set. Thanks!

My dark grey set arrived today. It's a little darker than the impression I got from the images but it looks even better than I was expecting.

Unfortunately I'm missing some keys too, all 3 spacebars to be exact. I'm not too worried since the missing keys form is now a thing and I'm in no rush but it's a shame to see happen nonetheless


Thanks Shadovved, you ran the GB very well and I appreciate your efforts to fix the missing keys 

[sdothum]

Got my dark, light and biege sets yesterday (ON Canada). Been trying out different color layouts on my Poker 2 -- if I am missing any keys, it's not apparent so far (but I haven't sorted them all out.. too much fun setting up the Poker!)

Really like the keys. The Gateron Cherry profile has slightly fatter (more surface area) finger pads than the Vortex Cherry's -- love the feel, plus I like the subtle difference in the overall look of the keyboard from the top (with the fatter pads).

Thanks Shadovved! GREAT group buy experience!

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone had purchased the white caps from Massdrop?

I was under the impression that Massdrops white was whiter than this GBs whites (equivalent of Massdrops milks) but my Massdrop and Geekhack whites both look the same so I'm trying to figure out if I got sent the wrong thing (labeled correctly as 'white/white') from Massdrop or if I was mistaken about what to expect?

Cheers.

Then they are probably the same. If it looks the same, it's the same.

I have 10 sets of the uber whites coming soon. Will show everyone how they look like......

Sweet! Looking forward to viewing them

So this might seem silly, but how do i sort these?

[user 18]

So this might seem silly, but how do i sort these?

Do it by row profile:

You need to just eyeball them. Anything that matches your 1.25u keys is for the bottom two rows, anything matching your homing keys in profile is the home row, anything matching the 2u backspace (which I found easy to tell apart from the other 2u numpad keys) is the top two rows. The remaining keys are for the one remaining row. The numbers do not seem to have any meaning, as far as I am aware.

[Cafiend]

Still any left? I know i'm crazy late.

[Shadovved]

Yes still available

The trick I use to sort the keys is to match the keys upside down! This way you can line up the (left/right) edges of the bottoms of the keycaps -- much easier than eye balling the tops of the caps from a side view. (The markings under the caps are alphanumeric which I have not tried to decipher -- easier to line up the edges IMO)

Once you've done that, you can arrange the sets of sorted caps by the side views of the Cherry profiles already posted in this thread.

Cool thanks for the feedback, look forward to seeing the über whites too

Thanks for this #protip!  I was side-viewing like a fool, I'll remember this for the future!

Personally the ones I had trouble telling apart were R2 and R3 since R2 are just slightly taller than R3.
R4 are tall in the front and angled down
R1 are just huge  )

If we want to order an extra set, shall PM Shadovved or still use the form in the OP?

[Ngt]

Ordered thanks Shadovved.

[Shadovved]

Use the form for everything. I will inform you if your choice runs out, but you still get to choose another colour ahead of anyone who ordered later.

Invoice paid.

[Findecanor]

Will there be a GB for ISO Enter?

I saw that Gateron now also has 3u Space Bar, and centre-stemmed 6u Space bar and Big-Ass Enter.

I'm sure someone will do a GB for those soonish.

[wntrmt]

Paid!

Also, a little OT, but which RGB PBT blank mods would fit those keycaps?

[lolpes]

can someone show me a combination of light grey and dark grey in dolch style with these keycaps? I'd like so that as i am waiting for my set to arrive

[mixenmatch]

Hey Shadovved, any word on when we can expect shipping for the extra sets? I only ask because I'm on vacation right now and I wanna know if I should let people at home know to look out for a package.

[Ngt]

Regarding the registered mail shipping, how do we get the tracking number? Will we receive an email or do you send them by PM?

[flabbergast]

Hi guys - for those of you have the set(s) - are your spacebars also warped? Not to the point that they'd be unusable, but it's quite visible on mine.

[Shadovved]

I'll send by email.

Probably in a week or so before I post them out. Still waiting for some extras to return before I send out everything.

My white ones were but the other colours were fine.

Yea, I got the white ones. Darn!

[jorgenslee]

Does someone has a picture of light grey alphas and beige mods? Curious to see this color combination.

Same here. My white spacebars are noticeably warped. Any safe method to try and un-warp them?

My beige spacebars were slightly warped. 

[MarkRobbo]

I think I might be missing some beige r2 profile keys. Or I have done this puzzle all wrong, which seems likely.

Won't be using this on a board with a numpad and the rest of the keys seem fine, but it would be quite nice to have the option





Lovely looking set though, and nice and thick

Fill the sink up with enough hot water to  submerge said spacebar. Let spacebar sit for a minute in hot water then remove. Then set it on a table with something heavy on it (I just used my laptop) and wait till it cools down, Should be better then it was. My white one had pretty bad warp on in to the point where it would not fit on the keyboard properly.

Thanks, I'll try that (first with my 6u spacebar that I don't use

a bit too light for dolch (both colors) but still looks good to me

[Air tree]

How thick is gateron PBT anyways? I haven't seen any pictures of it, my self.

This color combo is too good . Also what keyboard is that, looks like you manage to get the raised caps lock fit to your keyboard.

[nephiel]

Got my dark grey set yesterday. Nothing missing, nothing seems broken.
In fact I got two extra 1u keys (one R2 and one R3). Shadovved, if you want me to send the extras back to you, or to someone who is missing them, just say so.

I'm putting this set on an ISO 60% with a split spacebar. I still need two or three extra 1.25u mods (and the matching ISO Enter, hopefully upcoming) for a complete look, but other than that I have more spares than I need (among them the ANSI enter, backslash, and all three spacebars).

Looking really good indeed. Damn I start to regret I didn't order one like that as well ... Is it dark and light grey?

It's alright, you can keep the spares. If someone approaches you for them, it's your call
