Title: [IC]Gateron Dyesub Keycaps
Post by: sethk_ on Tue, 04 August 2015, 07:45:06
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).

Pics:

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

I know there was a 6u spacebar in the blank GB just wanted to make sure it's included in this set, also what's the price like? I think they were around $80-$100 on taobo(spelling?).

Well, I've never heard of 6.5u spacebar.
AFAIK, there are just 3 kinds of spacebars, that is, 6u, 6.25u, and 7u thus far.

I have talked to the seller and the dye-sub sets, which are purple, red, and black, contained 6, 6,25 and 7 spacebars already.
However, the seller did make new 6x and 3x spacebars. the formaer is for blackwidow, and the latter is for Filco minila
(https://geekhack.org/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=74163.0;attach=107362;image)

I just bought them from Taobao.
I assume I would get it tomorrow, I can show a picture if it really fit Blackwidow. But I don't have minila.

The price of 3x and 6x spacebar is 15RMB per one.

I'm super excited about this and with a fast turn around d think this could be a hugely successful GB. If the price is right I would be interested in

Classic beige/black on beige

Red on beige

Blue on beige/Olivetti

In theory I would want 3-4 sets depending on price and at the least 1-2

You are using the caps Shadovved sold for 28$ per set right?


Also, ISO support and windowed keys like this would be a huge plus  :thumb:

that seems about right considering the purple one on taoboa right now is $72 before shipping or proxy. The dye subbing process isn't cheap

Yeah, all keys that fit Standard and WKL are included, I can get a pic of all of the caps now. I had to leave for some driving lessons ~30 min after I posted this.

I always figured the prices on TaoBao were wacked and didn't really have any basis on actual cost. The same set that goes for $46 (http://world.taobao.com/item/520257209797.htm?spm=a312a.7700714.0.0.Aeox7V#detail) through one seller goes for $180 (http://world.taobao.com/item/520653547840.htm?spm=a312a.7700714.0.0.Aeox7V#detail) through another seller.

$75 is fine, but I'd buy more sets if it was less!

Sorry I wasn't very clear. I was thinking a milk+gray with red vs the beige on red of traditional RA.

I'm just not a big beige fan. Always looks slightly dirty to me.

I'm pretty sure I'm in the minority though :)

They have ISO enter keys, but separate. I will look into having them dyesubbed. I am not big on what the different ISO's are, so I just might add in ISO enter & the other one or 2 keys for the most basic support.

I am going to see about having all of these as an option, maybe in additional packs for each type.

Is there 1800 support planned or possible?

I already get some dyesubs soon, from LYN, so I am not sure if I would be interested then in these Gaterons too.
All the 1800 keys are already in the base set, aren't they?

No. For some reason mine didn't incluide the 2x blank keys, but it is possible to ghetto rig an 1800 layout w/ the caps that the set comes with, it just won't match profiles of true 1800, so that is why I am asking about maybe additional kits.

I'm definitely in. Saw these on TaoBao. Drool. This group buy would be legendary if you managed to include dyesubbed ISO keys and windowed as well.

Will these be dyesubbed by Gateron? Is it possible to have 1.25 blanks instead of winkeys?

Also, option to buy ISO enter in every color as a set. Blanks or dyesub. Don't know. Will probably gather a ton of interest.

I personally think they are not on par with stuff like GMK and BSP. Don't get me wrong, they feels pretty decent and my set got no warping on the spacebar, which is nice.
I won't want to abuse GMK sets as they get shiny real quick. Gateron pbt dye sub as the beater, not bad at all.  ;)

Yeah, I don't have a set of BSP, but I have friends that have both of them, it's just all about the nitpicky things like texture, material residue, slightly weird dye sub on certain keys. To me Gmk just feels more premium, but it's made with different material.
They are close, but not quite there yet. ;)

So, have you tried a BSP set before or not? Why are they not on par?
If they fixed the stem tightness issues, and shrinkage on the spacebars they would be close to BSP(I have 3 different sets of BSP; Russian, Black Otaku, Classic Beige Red).
As someone who likes smooth PBT, BSP is the best. The downside of BSP is their limited selection of caps and high price, and their in house Dye-sub sucks so you have to go through IMSTO which raises the price some more.
Don't get me wrong, IMSTO does awesome dyesubing just going to someone else raises the price usually along with the wait time.

TL;DR Cons of Gateron when compared to BSP: Stem tightness, Shrinkage on 7u spacebars, less smooth. Pros: Cheap, large selection of keys.

....
Moving on, have Gateron fixed the tightness on their stems? If they have I'm interested.

I've been staring at these for like a week and a half now considering just that.  I managed to track down another black 7u bar but my OCD would still prefer a truly matching one.  I'll probably just pull the trigger since IMSTO hasn't responded to my PM's.

Are you trying to put it on your Viper?  Last has had a hell of a time fixing my stabs and replacing the wire after the space bar did its little number.  Be careful you don't end up bending the wire trying to get the bar off like me. :'(  Might not be a bad idea for us to order a bunch from IMSTO like Knives said and just see if we get lucky. :-\

Maybe try to contact him via the form on his website (http://imsto.cn/index.php?route=information/contact). I got a response within 2 hours on Sunday.

Ahhh, thanks.  I'll give this a shot. :thumb:

IMSTO has I assume Gateron spacebars in stock on his site for $5/per if you want to buy a bunch and hope some work, or message him to see if he has a WKL board to try them on to make sure before shipping. I've been thinking about doing this myself sometime soonish.

http://imsto.cn/index.php?route=product/product&path=59&product_id=99

I've been staring at these for like a week and a half now considering just that.  I managed to track down another black 7u bar but my OCD would still prefer a truly matching one.  I'll probably just pull the trigger since IMSTO hasn't responded to my PM's. 


Same Sent   :'(  I have had some real problems trying to get the 7u Spacebar from Ivan's Rd 3 to fit. I tried heating it and flattening it to no avail 8-/

I'm not sure there's anything else I can do except to try and find another Black PBT 7u Spacebar 8-/ thanks for the link Knives.

Are you trying to put it on your Viper?  Last has had a hell of a time fixing my stabs and replacing the wire after the space bar did its little number.  Be careful you don't end up bending the wire trying to get the bar off like me. :'(  Might not be a bad idea for us to order a bunch from IMSTO like Knives said and just see if we get lucky. :-\
Yes on my viper I bent the piss out of mine luckily I had replacement on hand  :eek: my problem with IMSTOs spacebars is that I believe they are from the same batch and I'm sick of ruining stabs trying to get a freaking Spacebar to fit  :)) I ordered some black GMK space bars but they will feel different and I doubt they will match color wise. This sucks 8-/ and really ruins this Keyset for me .....

Let me know if you find a solution vipe bro 8)

I agree. There has already been a lot of more interesting dyesub group buys. This one wouldn't bring anything new to the table without ISO compatibility, less rather. After all the great group buys and drops these last few months, I think the only thing that makes sense is to insist on this group buy bringing something new to the table.

On a side not, imagine a Cherry replica international kit similar to:

Yes, F & J are subtle scoops, not as deep as cherry + bars, which I am sure you will love...
5 is just a normal bar

Regards to flickr, you can click the image, and it lets you zoom in. I don't have the set on me right now and I was able to zoom in and figure out which was which. Regardless, I don't think that scoops, bars, nipples or whatever should be the deciding factor, but I appreciate the comment.

No one mentioned any support for Black Due-subs on Gray, what gives?

Very few all PBT Grays are availble for sale anywhere hence it's logical to always order the RARE key-sets with unique colour-ways.

Anyway I'm a key-cap ho hence I'll probably buy a few when this finally gets off the ground  :thumb: .

Well, gateron is known for the subtle scoop + bar. I am not going to go into the bar argument, but the short version is, is that it's too much fine detail to please only a few people. This does not mean you have to now rally up people. Bars on regular keys just aren't happening in here except for the 5.

I thought I was clear enough when I said wouldn't consider a poll, which I thought you would also pick up on that it means no to the bars in general. The argument in general is stupid, and it isn't needed to be brought up in every IC, but I see why you want to suggest it, but because it's a completely different mould that is needed, GMK is the only known person who has the option to actually choose different ones.

Welcome to the Internet, you must be new here.  There's this thing called 'search' that allows you to find documents containing strings of text (words) that interest you.  You can use it.  Maybe if you searched for 'gateron pbt' you could have seen pics of the keys in other threads instead of crusading AGAIN.  Crusading is more fun tho, I suppose?

Instead of simply answering that bars are not available, you've brought up a series of inconclusive thoughts.
Still I'm not sure if gateron offers or didn't offer bars without scoops. Could you please search it again? Thanks

there is no point at all making a poll with something that manufacturer does not even make.
it's like you are asking BSP to make spacebar in a BSP group buy.

I didn't read every single message in this thread, but if bars weren't available at all from gateron, I'm sure that the OP would have said that.

Bars, like bars without scoops. Gaterons in this gb are bar plus scoops, I don't know if they are available as bars only.

I wish you would do a black legends with beige.

I know you said you don't want to take away from classic beige, but for me ABS is a deal breaker.

Regardless, really nice GB. keeping my eye on it. if you did a black legends beige with ability to buy an extra colored win key that would be the dream.
I see that you've already responded to this, but I would be in for sure with black on beige as well.  Olivetti would be a maybe from me, since I have an order for one coming at the moment.

Do you have any more details about this?

Maybe that purple on beige set from the picture was dye-subbed before they had everything fully perfected, because the pictures from the OP seem to have perfect F-row legends.  Also, the pictures someone posted a while ago with the red on beige set they got from taobao didn't have any issues with misaligned legends.

I'm no expert in these matters, but it seems to me that either all the sets would be messed up or none of them if the settings are the same on the machines.  It's also weird that only the legends in the function row have obvious issues.

Based on the stuff different people have been posting, it seems like the quality of these has historically been a bit variable. I think the purple and the red in the OP were most likely just made at different times. Hopefully all the sets in this buy will look more like the purple.

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.

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.

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).

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...

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.
Title: Re: [IC]Gateron Dyesub Keycaps
Post by: ika 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.

Post by: Hypersphere 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.

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.

Post by: FrostyToast on Wed, 18 November 2015, 19:53:49
Can someone explain how the proxy process works?

Proxying is just having someone receive your order through the mail and then send it out to you once they get it.
Sometime this is done to purchase products that you cannot get sent to your country. In this case it's to save costs.
Instead of getting a bunch of packages sent out each to an individual from overseas, a single overseas package consisting of those orders is sent; that proxy then ships out those packages to everyone. Obviously a proxy in this scenario must be within the same country as everyone else.
Overall the cost of the order is greatly reduced since the international shipping is split among everyone and domestic shipping is significantly cheaper.

yes, I think the color scheme is similar to PBT ivan GB , different fonts and uses the Korean language ,
and for cyrillic , they copy from Cherry OG dyesub and BSP dysube imsto ..
I just see this in stores , I think it looks like still under GB ..

Keeping it open for quite long. Seeing that China has their Chinese New Year holidays for around 2 weeks, I would keep it open till at least after they all return to production.

Expect the prices to be slighly more preferential than the ones available on Taobao.

Please make it happen in ISO. At worst, you could consider an addon modifier set that includes also all the ISO keys.

Does imsto own the iso molds? Or simply does he have a commercial agreement? The 1,25 shift and the enter could also be blank for what it matters.

Zeal made the Zealios.

No idea if we can get our molds as well. I'll check out the costs and see if it'll be worth it.

It's $5000 for a mold :(

I'm sure Giorgio and the other ISO users will be willing to help pay for it.

Zeal worked the design but I think is the Gateron who manufactures the switches.

Yeah, but he probably has some kind of rights on the whole thing. I hope he does, since he must have paid a fair sum for new stem molds.

It would be easier to pay a commission to imsto :-)
Anyway I really doubt that the has invested so much in an iso mold, we would see iso keycaps and addons and modifier sets everyday, bit it's not the case, so he didn't pay that much.

He's saying precisely that : He hasn't invested in an ISO mould because it costs so much.

Apparently IMSTO owns the ISO moulds.
