So I still don't know what is what and this has like 5 days left to order? The last few pages has people talking about MOZ's mockups not being used and imsto will be using the Ivan fonts. But imsto responded in this thread to me a few weeks saying he WON'T be using Ivan's and will be using his Cherry font which is much closer to the original Cherry layout than Ivan's.

A group buy of this size shouldn't be this confusing 5 days before it ends. He should have refunded everyone awhile ago and started fresh. Even as of now there's only been 70 sets sold. I'm sure there'd be a lot more if we knew what was going on. I'm not comfortable ordering until I see exactly what is going to be printed.

yeah, i want to get in on this, but i'm not sure whats what. I guess if i do i'll just throw money at it and maybe in a year or so i'll get something back.

Do we know what mock-up of Aurebesh will be getting used yet?
I'd like to order a set for myself and maybe a second as a gift but I am still unsure as to what it will look like.

I'm a little confused, is there no black legend English option available?  Also, I'm thinking of getting the German set as a gift for a friend, is this it?

German ist just like the normal black print english layout with QWERTZ. I dont see an option for black english either, tough.

Yeah - wish there was actually a black option. Is it missing or is it intentionally not there?
Someone apparently went up to the great philosopher Wittgenstein and said "What a lot of morons people back in the Middle Ages must have been to have looked, every morning, at the dawn and to have thought what they were seeing was the Sun going around the Earth, when every school kid knows that the Earth goes around the Sun", to which Wittgenstein replied "Yeah, but I wonder what it would have looked like if the Sun had been going around the Earth?"

The pic, but not selectable. At least not when last I checked.
Unless it's called something else.

Hey MOZ, looks like imsto finally added Aurebesh. Do you know if this design will be like his original mock-up or will it incorporate some of your suggestions?

Sorry, I don't know. I've had no further communication regarding legend requirements from imsto on the Aurebesh set or any other set.

Looks like black was added. Am I correct in my assumption that it'll look like this?

I would be interested in a Swedish set, but as the only hint of how it could look is MOZ mockup (which is very close to what I'd want) and Imsto saying he's going to use the old legends I'm confused as I don't think he's done Swedish before.

I really hope this confusion clears up before April 15...

I'm also wondering the same, as well as why Red Desko is $10 extra.

Regardless, I've put in my order.

Man, really wanted to order the Aurebesh set but it looks like I'm the only one so not sure it'll get made. Plus, I preferred MOZ's mockups and it doesn't look like the set will incorporate those.  :confused:

best is to stick with the egyptian. i believe there will be extras available at his website. im backing off from ordering the arabic too, seeing that there is no mock up at all. the egyptian will look good, dont worry.

I just ordered two sets; one for myself and a gift for a friend.  I imagine it will reach MOQ since there were also a decent amount of people in the beginning of the thread who were interested.

I prefer the some of the changes in MOZ's mockups too but the original set is also fine with me.

Also, not to be rude, but what are some opinions on the quality of this PBT set versus the other two classic beige GBs with ABS double-digit from GMK? Which one has what kind if texture?

Gateron PBT (which I believe is being used in the GB) has a rougher texture than GMK in my experience. PBT does feel somewhat "special" in comparison to ABS. I like both very much, but If I had to choose one over the other, well I already have, and I prefer GMK over the EnjoyPBT set I've sold. And that is based solely on feel. Though they are both high quality and will certainly do their job for you.

edit: gentleman below me did a better job of explaining, I agree with him.

My board has Gateron PBT RGB mods with white infilled legends and GMK alphas. GMK has a bit drier texture. Gateron is a bit more "humid" and smoother, and I enjoy the texture much more!

Gateron PBT is said to have a little rougher texture than BSP PBT (BSP also have smoother edges on the keys)

Gateron is then again said to have smoother texture than the PBT texture of Signature Plastics DSA keys. I have SP pbt, and I agree with these characterisations.

imsto isn't really doing it for you. He does production mostly for the korean and chinese scene, and the fact that he bothers to open it to USA is pretty nice.

Yup, i won't order just on principle. He can't even respond here to let people know wtf is going on.

If they turn out OK i'll look for an extra set or something. He always makes extras.
