That's the kind of colour and detail you can expect from these sets. The dyesub looks very sharp.

That is the Cherry US layout correct?

Yes it is. You can see the legends a lot better if you click the image and open it in full resolution.
And I believe this buy even includes a few extra keys.

I just wanted to make sure I selected the right set.

[Moonshinedawg]

When would this be shipping?

[Joey Quinn]

I'm considering buying into this after receiving my first set, I'm really liking these caps.

Welcome to GH!

Nice first purchase!

[Seranite]

I could wait no longer, finally submitted my order...I've got 4 different sets on the way now.   

[mattrox217]

Paid today! Really looking forward to these. It will be my first GH GB and my first full set of non-stock caps!

You chose well for your first, I don't think these will ever go out of style. 

[telnet]

Were there issues with the 7u space bar in the last round of production?
Will they be fixed this round?

Thats the plan! Now to find a couple cool modifiers or artisans to make my pok3r personal. 

[starscream]

Those DARKSIDE keys are amazing

From what I've heard, some shrunk more than others. Still, I feel that the vendor should have stricter QC if they sell these sets with the 7u spacebar.

[cinnamoncider]

Are the Blank Black and Black on Black dyesub same with the previous groupbuy?

[vickvohoang]

Does the Apple's legend the same as the original?

Hopefully Ivan can chime in.  I want to get two sets, but if the 7u spacebar doesn't fit then the sets are useless for me.

[IvanIvanovich]

7x spacebar should fit... but there is a chance you may be unlucky with shrinkage. I will do what I can to deal with defects.

Apple set is modeled mostly off the AEK board, use same font.

Yes, the black sets are the same from the prior round.

[jvarg]

Any chance for an additional 2.25x shift key in the future? Looking to deck out a FC660, but that's the only key that'd be missing.

[katushkin]

Were there any ISO kits produced in the previous round of this?

[IvanIvanovich]

No, ISO enter is not available yet. Perhaps ISO enter tooling will be finished and ready for the next round.

[vindaon]

Paid! In for a RU set. Thanks for making this happen Ivan!

[ayybee]

This is my first group buy, what do I do after select the group buy?

I haven't gotten an email, did I accidentally put the wrong email? Or do I have to wait for something?

Just wait and you should get a paypal invoice sooner or later.

[ayybee]

is there any difference between this and the massdrop drop going on right now https://www.massdrop.com/buy/blank-pbt-keycaps?mode=guest_open

since they're both made by gateron?

besides the color of course.

[IvanIvanovich]

Difference, color choice and no option for dyesub printed sets on Massdrop.

[MarkRobbo]

Can I get a quote on UK shipping for a set?

thank you for making this group buy and helping me out, but I ended up going for the massdrop ones. the milk color looks nice to me. thanks again.

[chancellorr]

I decided the bite the bullet and participate in my first group by. Love those black blanks.

[nukec]

Paid

You might want to cancel that order

Keycap sets will outnumber my keyboards almost 3:1 but put in an order... 

[lasttycoon]

I really want the Black on Black. Such a cool look. Blows a lot of the SA custom sets out of the water IMO due to understated minimalism.

[sairex]

Just paid! Thanks for setting up the gb!

[1swt2gs]

This is my first time ordering off geekhack and more specifically a group buy as I am relatively new and just getting into mechanical keyboards! Hopefully someone can answer some questions.

Are you charging shipping after or how will shipping work? I want the blank black set which is $37+$5 dollar groupbuy fee.

And lastly, I am moving 1st of July). Will the keycaps come before then?

Thanks in advance!

Ivan will give you one invoice (unless a special scenario arises) with a total cost including shipping to your location.

It won't come before then, most likely much later. But you can give Ivan that address in your original order, and then PM him your updated address once you move. I move between my school address and home address and bug him with address changes a few times a year and it's never an issue.

Might have to hang around and get an ISO set when the next round comes along.

[Mabase]

First purchase off geekhack..

Looking forward to these caps
 

[lasttycoon]

Order placed. This is my first GH GB! Looking forward to these unique and durable keycaps. I think the thick PBT will sound really nice on my Topre clone, Royal Kludge RC930 <3

Hey Ivan:

In the order form it says extra cost for express shipping with insurance. 
For an order to Canada, will the standard shipping have tracking and insurance?

[beltet]

The chart of including keys is broken. Wondering what mods that will be included.

Same as the one in Shadovveds GB

For international first class, some countries are better than others at carrying over the tracking number into their system. Many countries tracking goes dead after leaving US customs. Canada is usually fairly decent about keeping the tracking, but does not always. No insurance is included on any first class rates.

I love the added layout compatibility. I have a standard keyboard but this makes future keyswaping a breeze!

[nickheller]

Just to be sure before paying invoice,  the second option in this thread (CHERRY BLACK on BLACK dyesub) is called Cherry US layout on the order form, and is called Dark PBT PRINTED key set on the invoice? I'm pretty sure they are all the same thing, just trying to make sure I order the right set.

[a-c]

Yes, check out replies 125 & 127

Alright thanks, I asked once after seeing the slightly different name on the order form, but just wanted to make sure after it was slightly different on invoice. Just paid the invoice! This set is awesome

[lasttycoon]

Invoice Paid. Now to wait! This is my perfect set <3

[Cany0n]

Could I get a rough estimate for the total cost of getting a blank set into the UK? The price of the set is great, I'm just worried about how expensive shipping and import custom fees will be. A general ballpark would be great.

My invoice including shipping was $86.12 which is $13 shipping.

[E3E]

I apologize if this has been asked already, but will there be a third wave for this set in the future? I'm a bit crunched for cash right now and as much as I'd love to buy a set now, I don't think it'd be a good idea.

With that said, is it possible to get a number on how many orders have been made thus far? Thanks.

[jvarg]

Really hoping there's enough interest for an extras set (extra 2.25x shift, different mode, etc.) in the future. From reading through all the pages in this thread I know I'm not the only one out there that is looking for some extra keys to complete their keyboard set (FC660).
