Are these Tai Hao made?

They look Tai Hao to me by shape and font.  Very cool.
P.S.: if they are Tai Hao, definitely need to make sure that they make a proper-stemmed 7x spacebar, as their current one has some strange Alps/MX stem arrangement  that doesn't work for MX.
P.P.S.: Are side-stemmed Caps Lock caps going to be available / come with the base set?

Looks like the other "project " TH was talking about was yours ;).

Colours look good. Looks like I won't need to make another GB.

You are right about the 7x space bar.  They are fixing it.  The Caps Lock is not available at this time.  The extra 2 keys are 1x keys.

Oh another thing just came to me: what about white sets with black or gray lettering?  Probably gray to maintain the softness. To mix with various colorful modifiers.  Not a big deal, just wondering!

You might need to get the pink to look like a neon pink our hot pink to make the colors pop.

The idea was to get a Cherry Blossom / Sakura Pink :)

Sherry will the sets come with 6.25 space bar? seems that the Tsangan kit don't matter much because there is no off center stepped nor full touch off center Caps Lock, also the space bar stabilizers stems are not in proper place. That leaves custom and Cherry boards out of business, question is will the sets have the 6.25 space bar on arrival?

He said they'd be working on proper stem placement for the 7x spacebars, and I know Tai Hao's working on proper 6.25x spacebars for Elton's group buy.  So both should be fine.  The tsangan kit is relevant for WKL keyboards.

Its is, I have board with cheat layout but without the off center capslock all goes down the drain

Yeah, well... could always look for one from a different OEM profile set.  These are cheap sets after all.  If you combine a couple of colors, it might not be too bad to have a different color caps lock.

Wonder if they'd do a (dark) blue on white set ...

Then we could mix it with the original white on blue and make our legendary CCnB (or what passes for it, anyway).

Beautiful colours. Sherryton, would there be a way to pay for these through PayPal? Unfortunately that's the only method in which I am able to and would really like 3 sets.

Sherry!  You need to share if one of them is going to be teal-ish :)  I promise I won't tell!
Title: Re: Pre order Colorful Double-shots

i'm not sure if that is the exact color, but it might be something along those lines.

Alixinhzai,

Pink will not be available at this time.  I do like the color a lot.  If there is enough pre orders, then I can try to squeeze in 3 more sets.

At this time, we are arranging our other 2 group buys.

Look at the Tai Hao group buy thread here.  They are pretty good.

While I haven't pre-ordered yet, I plan to next week.

I have a small suggestion about the pink ... I think the pink pictured is fine, if you used, say, purple for the legends. Yes the purple that is a choice for a main color. I'd get a third set if that were available (planning on purple & green, currently).
Title: Re: Pre order Colorful Double-shots
Post by: Computer-Lab in Basement on Wed, 20 November 2013, 12:46:11
That blue... it looks so...

Logical.

So they are only $18 for the complete set? Such a bargain...

Will buy a set or two.

Now to build a keyboard to put them on ;-)

I agree on the pictured pink, it's awesome. More of a "peachy" color to me though.

That said, sherry, is PayPal being offered or no?

Post by: AKmalamute on Sat, 15 March 2014, 15:49:24
Moderately sure Sherry doesn't in the forum anymore but given the lack of information I think I'd like to suggest refunds are in order.

blergh. At least these were cheap keys.
