Sherry, possible to set a few sets aside without any printing? Only interested in blanks.
This is awesome Sherry. I was waiting for you to stock BSP. I will definitely pick up a set when I have the money!
Sherry, possible to set a few sets aside without any printing? Only interested in blanks.
I did not order any of those, but I'm going to get them in soon.

I'd be interested in blanks as well. ;D
So this has 1.5 bottom mods, a 1x windows key and no spacebar? Could you put this set on one of the cap set checks (I suggested this a while ago, so people know exactly what they're getting)? Could these ship with the Dolch?
What profile is the bottom row?

B profile!
That's what all my other caps/spacebars are...
That's what has gone wrong. If you guys like A profile, then maybe you guys can get it first. We ordered it in B profile, and that's where it has gone wrong.

Yeah, we just made our own keycap set check thingy. I'll have to go laminate it tomorrow. I totally forgot about this.

Gotcha. Do you have pics of the green set? I'm curious about how the color turned out...
Everyone wanted a Red Alert set in Cherry PBT (or I believe they would want it).
Do you think you'd be able to photograph this set next to your beige GMK set? I want to see the colour difference between ABS and PBT.
EDIT : I don't mean the entire set. Just one white ABS key next to a white PBT key and a beige ABS key next to a beige PBT key.

Any chance of this Sherry? :D
Yeah, in the photo. The Spacebar is a ABS key by GMK :)I missed that. Thanks. How about an ABS modifier vs PBT modifier?
Sherry any plans for the 10keypad, maeby when you get the spacebars you can acquire the10 keypads, or is not worth the hustle due to high MOQ? I do love the fact that it has x1 Window key!!!
B profile for the win
Could these ship with the Dolch?
Any chance of F and J nubs or without the little bump?
I'll let you know when you send an email about the Dolch sets

I'm not sure if we can do the 10 key pad. Maybe in the future, I will do BSP sets. For now, these sets will remain as is. Perhaps I can get someone to do a group buy for the number pad set, and I will buy the remaining sets.B profile for the win
Could these ship with the Dolch?
I really hate that I cannot give these sets to you guys ahead of time, because they feel amazing. I can ship these with the Dolch though.

thanks Sherry, would love to have full and complete set with space bar and 10 keypad and pair it with the RGB + Esc from the same brand :) Guess I will wait a lil bit longer for that one.
Man, they feel so good with ergo clears...
The product, CKS-SHLIV-G81, was for us. The SHLIV stands for my name, Sheraton Liv. Do not let anyone fool you that this is their product. I believe it was wrong that BSP allowed someone to order a small amount, because the MOQ is very high. I had to order a high amount, and someone jumped on our MOQ somehow. I have talked with them, and I believe they are going to cancel their order.
Wallethack at its best.
Cases GB, and now, lovely keycaps for sale directly.
Yay
Well I understand where you're coming from but from someone that drop thousands of dollars on his own to make it happen someone decided to just jump on the MOQ to get the same price is kinda of shady.
I am also pretty sure kboardvintage added on a cost of his own to make it worth his time, who knows maybe the price ends up being the same as that "groupbuy"
Your two points has nothing to do with what I was trying to say...Well I understand where you're coming from but from someone that drop thousands of dollars on his own to make it happen someone decided to just jump on the MOQ to get the same price is kinda of shady.

But you dont see Cherry, Dolch, Desko crying foul or send lawyer letter for using the same colours... Unless you've patented the colour combination, I dont see an problem.
"It's just business" I would say. You'll never know if GMK and others decide to jump on the mechanical keyboard trend bandwagon and set up a end-consumer department like QWERkeys.
I was really hoping you could make a dolch style set that was dye-sub pbt.can't dyesub on a darker base colour
Does anyone else think this would be cool?

I might sell the A profile first for people who wants them.
The price will be $130.

Are pbt double shots even possible?

The issue was the MOQ. Since I don't know the details my examples might be exaggerating.
If the MOQ is 100 sets per colour (400 sets total) to get that price, then that means Sherry dropped enough money to get that price for those colours, but kboardvintage having to only buy 30 sets total to get the same price how is that fair for Sherry?
Also as I said, I am pretty sure kboardvintage added on cost to his group buy so who knows maybe the price Sherry is selling it at is more or less the same (for reference the cost was 95,60 € = $127.60 USD)
Beast, I have not forgotten about your sheet yet.
I just need to set up the photography again. I'll use it to take pics of the sets.
So, perhaps this is a silly question, but I've heard such great things about the cherry/BSP PBTs (and that red set looks quite nice), and I'm a little lost.
What are the differences between these and the thick imsto pbts? I understand that they're made by different companies, but how do they compare?

I'm expecting these to have slightly crisper legends and a truer white color for white keys. Imsto's keys are an imatation, these are the real deal. Also, mod sizes (ctrl/win/alt) of the BSP sets are the right size for customs and vintage keyboards while imsto's are sized for the layout of more modern boards (1.25x for imsto versus 1.5x/1x/1.5x for BSP).

Will there be a 1.25 mod 6.25 space option at some point in the future?
I'm a bit dissapointed in the flaws that Dan listed:
Print Screen and Pause/Break have different legends
F5-F8 use white base
F and J have nipples instead of scoops
Tilde is also a different legend
:(

Will there be preorders or will there be enough quantities that you can order these 3-5 days after release?

Are you talking about this thread? http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=43104.0
The same picture is in there so does that mean whoever bought those sets are going to get their order cancelled? This would be upsetting to say the least.

No spacebar is included, the F5-F8 keys are white (instead of beige like they would be on most 2 tone sets), and the print screen/sys req and pause/break keys have that line (although I don't think they are as thick as I made them in my mockup).

Looks great! I'm still on the fence about no scoops and the F5-F8. The no spacebar and the bars on the print screen and pause don't bug me as much anymore
I would probably be interested. How much do you expect the spacebar will cost?
I talked about getting blanks for you. It should be available soon.
I asked them about the F5-F8, and they said it would cost around $15-18 (for 4 keys). I'm not sure if anyone is interested. Let me know!

The molds are around $10k (I'm not sure why), but BSP are not interested in making them. Would you not rather be interested in a PBT Spacebar? :DJesus christ..

Here's a little fact about BSP. They are the original company who owned the tools from the start. I believe Cherry ordered sets from them, and they requested their own font.

If they don't have the scoop molds then couldn't do the Cherry PBT Dye Sub sets at all because I have an Olivetti Dye Sub ISO ES set with them and a ISO DE Dye Sub one also with them and every Cherry Dye Sub keyboard I've seen have those scoops in the F and J keys.
By the way I'm still shocked about what happened to Kboardvintage GB...you just made some people lose their opportuniy of getting those sets because you want to have monopoly over GMK and BSP sets. Not a good thing in my opinion.
From what I can tell it's really BSP's fault for allowing Kboardvintage to eat into sherryton's order in the first place. If you want someone to blame, blame BSP.
Also, whats the ETA on these again?
edit: got company name wrong. lol

Thanks for understanding. I saw that many people tried to do the samething with the RGB sets too, so I went to BSP with this. I did not try to stop the group buy or anything.
The items are for sale right now. I'm working with BSP on the B Profile keys though.
Edit: But you can order the BSP PBT sets right now.
Send a PM to sherryton and you can place an order directly through him. That's what I did, was able to pay via paypal, got my set last week, love it.Show Image(http://i.minus.com/iXUln1Fuo2D5W.jpg)
Will you offer gmk spacebars for sale?
I hope you can just bundle them together in the future. I think that not bundling them together is miscalculation.
Its a shame that we pay so much for a set of bsp dyesubs only to have to hunt for spacebars that has a matching profile and....less shine.
Please at least sample the colors before putting them up for sale. The last thing I want is a spacebar that has a different color. Since you are making money off this community, in an honest way, maybe you could let people judge the whatever you are sampling. Perhaps by contacting more prominent members of the community for opinions. Just a suggestion.
I do not mean to sound harsh, but from the way the first Gmk sets went for sale, you did not pay too much attention to detail. In a community that buys expensive keycaps just to make their keyboards look good/better, this is bad.
The TAB legend on the GMK set is an example. There are others too, but this is the most glaring one. I am glad it has been fixed. However, it could have been done immediately, the wrong legend in the purple GmK GB shows how fast GMK can fix their errors.
All that being said, it is great that you took so much risk, and paid so much money to put these sets up in the shelf. A GB might work, but the colorway options might have been limited, given the MOQ. Good job on this.

I had sent the colors to GMK to make the matching space bar already.
It's really hard to work with these companies because making sample sets are very costly for them.

Sherry will the GMK space bars be PBT as I believe the original Cherry boards with PBT dyesub keys the space bars were made out of PBT. If BSP was making the PBT caps for the Cherry boards back then, then who made the x7 PBT space bars if BSP can't make them?
BTW please check your PM's Sherry, you got 2 messages from me I want to add one more sticker sheet and 65g springs.
So from what I can gather the only difference between the A and B profiles are the
-Space bar row
Is this correct?
PHOTOS will be available tomorrow. I swear. We just took all the photos yesterday.

sherry, when are you selling the blank set ?
sherry, when are you selling the blank set ?
Ordering them over the weekend.
These sets look fantastic. The only thing holding me back is the lack of a spacebar and the lack of a 1.5 modifier for the Win/Cmd key.Which keyboard needs a 1.5 win/cmd? :confused:
Knowing that you're planning on adding a spacebar is there any way would might consider adding a blank 1.5 modifier as well?
Just a thought.

BSP doesn't have a mold for 1.25x keys in A/B profile - only 1.5x and 1x. The mods included w/ these sets are pretty much for vintage and customs - if you need 1.25x mods then you want one of imsto/IvanIvanovich cherry replica sets.
Thank you for clearing this up for me. I wasn't aware of the limitations of BSP. Poop. I was really hoping to try a set of the BSP. Oh well, my wallet thanks you. ;DSwitch to 1.5 mods on your GH60 :D
