[Closed] Metal(zinc) key caps UPDATE All Shipped! Keep taking orders.

[feng]

This group buy is now closed! Get ready to the 2nd round! More are coming!

So a guy who lives in the same city with me has some metal key caps here made by zinc.

There are two colors available as gold and silver. They are colored by plating (or called electroplating in English?).

Also two types of keys as blank and legends ones are available. The legends ones are made by laser.

All orders have been shipped out! I will keep taking orders until the 2nd round of this group buy since I still have some stock left.

UPDATE: I'm sorry to let you guys know that the R4 blank key caps, Arrow key sets and 37 blank key sets are not available this time because it's close to Chinese New Year and there's not enough workers in the factory. They might be available in the 2nd round of this group buy. Probably in the middle of Fabruary. Now only a few of the R4 blank ones were made and I will ship them to those who first made the payment.

[oneproduct]

I Zinc this is a great idea!

Stop with the bad puns or I'll call a copper.

[o2dazone]

You should receive a metal for organizing this GB

[Kisakuku]

Are blank silver R4 caps available and how much per one or per order of 13+?

[tsangan]

No modifier size?

[telepete]

Cool. These look great. I'm definitely in.

[demik]

When does the gb close?

[Vneck]

Are just Space bars available?

Edit: half my question answered by re-reading t.t

[reaper]

Ok, payment sent and thanks, feng. =)

[Elrick]

feng, when will the dead line be announced?

You must have one.......right?

[duq]

When is the expected delivery date upon order?

I'll put more pictures in this thread as long as I receive the keys.

[feng]

Blank R4 will probably be available. Not sure yet.

[feng]

No modifier size?

He made some modifiers but those are sold out. And now since it's closed to Chinese New Year, he can't make that many keycaps. So I think the modifiers should be available in the future.

[feng]

When does the gb close?

Should be about Jan 22.

[feng]

Not so far

[biochem]

No need for that. I sure you can iron this thing out.

[feng]

When is the expected delivery date upon order?

Delivery date will be between Jan 13 - Jan 25.

[telepete]

No need for that. I sure you can iron this thing out.

Instead of buying the key caps you could just jump someone....... and steel theirs. Boom.

Ripster will came back with some lengthy whining, because he likes to boron.

Can you please clarify which keys are included in the 37-piece kit? By my count there are 33 keys in the center of the keyboard, leaving 4 keys to account for. This could be 4 arrow keys or it could be 1 Esc key and 3 blank "super" and "meta" keys. I'd like to know which so I can order correctly. Thanks!

[Tarkoon]

Would it be possible to get a 39 key kit for ISO keyboards?
It should consist of
12x R2 (qwert row)
12x R3 (asdfg row)
15x R4 (
EDIT: blank of course!

Yeah he really Lead them on, but I rate his pun only 1 out of Tin.

[mkawa]

would it be possible to get smaller sets of blank/legends keys? if so, how much per key?

will this look good with backlit keyboards? i am certain the lights won't shine through them (just hoping somewhat it would :O )

Probably not.

No mentioning of poisoning?

When there was the lead-poisoning-through-keycaps discussion, people went mental.

And in recent years, zinc poisoning is way more common... especially ripster with his ripometer should know about the pennies made around 20-30 years ago.

Where are the people who nearly got a heartattack from thinking about keycaps made out of any metal?

I would imagine they're hiding under their beds from germs and hangnails and toxic rain water and such.

[dorkvader]

I remember that discussion: as far as I'm concerned, the result of that was: you can't absorb enough through your fingers to make a difference.

Also, these are electroplated in another metal (silver? gold?) so you're not even touching zinc.

[elton5354]

This is more like for sale and not a GB.

[Namkung]

Order placed~~

[maQsv]

Are R4 keys 1x or 1.25x? Because I'm looking for blank esc key. Thanks

[demik]

1x

[Lamaboi]

Are the WASD cluster ones engraved, or also available in blank? Asking because the "w" on those caps seems a bit too small compared to the rest...

[Vneck]

I might be mistaken but aren't blank R4's for $3.75 each the same thing?

[Lamaboi]

R4's are upper last function row(from ESC to Pause), the rest(WASD cluster) has different heights.

[Vneck]

Ah okay, thanks.

[Son of Gnome]

im in

[angry gamer]

money sent, I hope fish sticks are on sale this month.

[DanGWanG]

I'm I'm for some goodies.  Payment and order coming in the morning

[soulfree914]

So, that Apple is available?
Gold letters look really nice.

[angry gamer]

Gold letters look really nice.

Actually, they do, but they are still a bit too tacky for my taste.

[dorkvader]

Actually, they do, but they are still a bit too tacky for my taste.

I agree. Silver for the win.

[peptobiscuit]

put me down for a set of WASD

[silverphoenix]

Now if they made a laser etched black oxide vs I would be all over that

[nikonf5]

Assuming these are not the SP profile but the Filco profile in terms of height as well.

Thx

[gimpster]

I sent the following via PM but I'm not sure if you've seen it so I'm posting here as well.

I'm getting ready to place an order for the key caps but I had a couple of questions, I'm hoping I can add a couple of additional key caps to the order.

• Is the gold-plated R4 key cap available that has the "Filco" logo on it? Or the Apple logo?
• Can you get any 1.25 keys to replace the "Windows" keys? I would like 3 of them in gold. If you can get them, how much are they so I can add it to the payment.
