Would rock if you could get legends similar to Ivans/originiative. The capslock with the padlock is really smooth.

Just submitted my request for a blank set of Gateron PBTs because these aren't available (yet!). I'll grab an olivetti set if the group buy starts

trenzafeeds · « **Reply #203 on:** Tue, 29 September 2015, 11:37:47 »

Yeah, any word on these Seth? Other sets are coming up and I'd love to set aside for this if it's actually going to happen.

Just a quick question - sorry if it's already been posted in the thread - but does anyone know who did the dye sub keycaps in the KC60 buy (I'm guessing that the caps and the dyesub process are undertaken by separate companies?)

I'm fairly certain it's the same caps as in this thread - if you look closely at F/J you can make out the bar and a very subtle scoop - which is a Gateron trademark combination, as far as I'm aware.

I read somewhere it was NKPC that dyesubbed them.

So I'm guessing that gateron themselves wouldn't do the dyesubbing as they wouldn't have the machinery to do it

Does anyone know where Ivan gets his done?

Hypersphere · « **Reply #208 on:** Tue, 29 September 2015, 13:50:19 »

Would be interested if they were in OEM profile.

Blank black PBT in OEM would be especially nice, along with a dye-sub PBT set for the alpha keys.

swaqqqmaster · « **Reply #209 on:** Tue, 29 September 2015, 14:12:53 »

I'd 100% be in for Black on Beige and possible for Purple as well.

Way to go against the popular opinion!

I have some blank white Keycool OEM PBT caps and they're actually quite nice. Also bank black POM, which are some of my favourite caps. You can see them on my avatar board.

AFAIK, though, Gateron only do Cherry profile.

I believe he has used IMSTO to do the black on black sets.

Correct, IMSTO was the producer of the black on black.

Hi, I am back w/ another IC.

As some of you may know, there are Gateron dyesub caps. These are PBT keycaps, and then dyesubbed. They are in Cherry profile, and feel really nice.

As far as set colors go, Purple on Beige, Red on Beige (RA), and Black on Grey will be available. I am looking into getting Blue on Beige (Olivetti).

The Black on Black/Gray look like the ones Ivan ran, so similar to the RF Black keycaps.
I plan to start the GB in ~1 month

Does Gateron have ISO support?

Wow, just seen that thread. Sex.

I'm pretty sure you can count me in for at least one set, Seth.

I didn't read the whole thread, any idea on the price for now?

It says somewhere in the thread. I believe it was around $80.

As of right now, no email still. I can still arrange to have sets, but it would be in batches.

I would be down to join this as well. Sets look good.

I definitely need a black on beige set to augment my OG Cherry sets. Up for batches, as I would prefer that this happen sooner rather than later.

I'm super down for this GB but I was reading thru this and said something like 70$ for a set

I think that's way too steep for just PBT gateron keycaps...

joey · « **Reply #225 on:** Sat, 10 October 2015, 08:15:46 »

I guess dyesubbing is expensive.

ideus · « **Reply #226 on:** Sat, 10 October 2015, 08:22:50 »

It is a shame the price for a set like this is this expensive, recent competitive options in same profile but in thick double shot ABS, may get a share of people that would be potentially interested. The good part is that now the offer for good quality key caps is getting wider. That is good for us keyboard aficionados.

ika · « **Reply #227 on:** Sat, 10 October 2015, 11:35:17 »

I think the price is very fair for pbt dyesubs. Compare to blank vs dyesub prices for the Galaxy Class keyset. IIRC it was double for legends too. These are the best keycaps I've felt, even if the dyesub isn't pinpoint perfect.

Hypersphere · « **Reply #228 on:** Sat, 10 October 2015, 17:17:42 »

Interested. Would be more interested if these caps were available in OEM profile. Would also like to see some extras for color symmetry, such as a Backtick/Tilde and Backslash in the same color as the modifiers. It would also be nice to have caps for swapping CapsLock and Control and swapping Backspace and Backslash. Finally, it would be good to have a Fn key to replace the Menu key and Spacebars in the modifier color.

cooldiscretion · « **Reply #229 on:** Wed, 21 October 2015, 21:35:11 »

Any hope of this still happening?

00zeRO · « **Reply #230 on:** Sat, 24 October 2015, 08:29:45 »

I like. May buy...

ideus · « **Reply #231 on:** Sat, 24 October 2015, 10:44:53 »

I may be interested in an Olivetti, or a WYSE style set with win-key-less bottom row with 7u space bar.

Tofunator · « **Reply #232 on:** Sun, 25 October 2015, 20:55:31 »

Teal on beige would be awesome but I'm down for a Olivetti or black on beige set

CyriusG · « **Reply #233 on:** Mon, 26 October 2015, 01:52:57 »

I tried to order a set through a proxy last week but it got cancelled because the items are out of stock and the sellers don't know when they will be back in stock again.

This probably isn't happening. If you want to split proxy costs from TaoBao though we could.

Gotcha. I may have to wait and just order from TaoBao. No worries. Probably would've been cheaper through a larger GH GB, but I can always have them through a proxy.
