[IC] Thick PBT SA Profile legend-less white Ergodox set
« on: Sun, 05 January 2014, 15:20:16 »
I have been wanting to get a blank set of the deliciously thick SA profile keys for my Ergodox, and Signature Plastics can provide. I am reasonably confident that other geekhackers would be interested, so I am performing an interest check to see if anyone else would be interested so we can get a lower price point.

Looks like:



And will be priced as follows:

5 sets                      $78.12 per set
10 sets                   $62.83 per set
15 sets                   $57.73 per set
25 sets                   $53.66 per set
50 sets                   $50.60 per set
75 sets                   $49.58 per set
100 set                   $49.07 per set
150 sets                 $48.56 per set
200 sets                 $48.31 per set
250 sets                 $48.15 per set

Yea, they have PBT SA profile.  I bought a couple.  Just check their inventory.
Wish I had some gif or quote for this space, but I got nothing

Yes! In fact, I can provide screen shots of what they look like if you would like. They're quire nice. I don't have a full set however ;P

I have no normal keyboards, so I wouldn't have an interest in organizing such a GB, sorry!

You may not have any normal keyboards, but a lot of us do.

Maybe run a GB for a "normal" keyboard and then have an ergodox kit as an add-on?

There are already plenty of "normal" keycap sets to choose from

I think basic economics suggests that TacticalStache is probably right, the way to go would be to split the set in to the "Alphas" and "Ergodox Mod", then add the mods for standard keyboards.  At the very least it might drop the price on the Alphas for the Dox.

Also, I'm interested.  I'd prefer them with legends, but I want two sets of caps for the Dox I'm building, one low, one high, and this seems like a good high profile set (unless someone does a KT profile set).

Awesome! I still think the GB will get a lot of attention because I mean there are very few Ergodox sets available.

I want PBT SA profile! But not for Ergodox :) I'm trying DIY dye-sub now and I want to test many profiles as possible.
I'm looking forward to GB.

a normal set in black would be cool. cōmpletely disinterested in using high profile on an ergo board.

I am curious, is there an ergonomic problem with high profile?  Or something that interferes with ergodox specifically?

i PERSONALLY for me think that making your fingers reach higher is unergonomic.  this applies to both standard and ergo boards; it's just mirw contradictory on a ergo board.

but no, SA caps work completely fine on the dox
