Doubleshot ABS keycaps - Interest Check
« on: Wed, 19 March 2014, 10:29:12 »
I know Double shot PBTs are in high demand. What about Double shot ABS sets?  Should be around $25- $30 shippped for a full size set.  Let us know!  The MOQ is very high.

tai hao?

$25-$30 sounds good to me regardless.

edit: get them to do something like dolch and I bet MOQ will be no problem at that price

Would be cool if it's in Cherry profile and pink/purple. But if it's Tai Hao, I don't think they have Cherry profile.

It's a shame, I am not that into OEM profile.

Mildly interested in a few OEM PBT DS for the novelty, but zero interest in OEM ABS DS. For ABS, Cherry (GMK) is where it's at ! ;) DCS works in a pinch for interesting designs.

Might depend on the available colours.

Everyone is saturated with the original Tai Hao sets - yellow, (dark) green, (dark) blue, red and black.

Another vendor here purchased quite a few sets and still has some in stock.

Originative was going to offer some different Tai Hao colours, but that seems to have fallen through.

If you can find colours different to the original GB, this could work ...

BTW Tai Hao includes double shot blanks :))

Sorry for potential newb question, but do Tai Hao Doubleshots not come with a standard 6.25x spacebar? I thought I remember reading that on KeyPop when I was checking them out.

The original sets did not, but Elton sent them a standard 6.25x space bar and they made (or found?) molds, so now they can produce 6.25x space bars.

Some lower cost keycap sets would be nice.. especially if you could manage bi-color sets here too!
