[IC] [Originative] Thick PBT Dual Tone Dyesub Keysets - POLL ADDED

[MOZ]

Intro
This will be an IC for thick PBT dyesub sets, in classic (Light grey mods & beige alphas) base color. Profile will be Cherry.

Originative Co. will be handling the logistics (Taking orders, shipping, etc). I will be assisting in the design phase. Pre-orders will be done on his storefront. Until then, I will be the POC, and following the pre-orders, Originative.

We are targeting to make this available at USD 70-90.


On offer
There will be one kit only, which will consist of the following keys (Total 130 keys):

- 104 Basic ANSI kit, homing keys will be scoops with bars
- 1 Mod colored R1 tilde
- 3 Windowed caps (Num Lock, Scroll Lock, Stepped Caps Lock)
- 7 Key WKL compatibility kit (2x 1.5U Control, 2x 1.5U Alt, 2x 1u Win key, 7u Spacebar)
- 5 key HHKB compatibility kit (Full Touch 1.75U R3 Control, 1u R1 \|, 1u R4 Fn, 1.75u R4 Shift, 1.5u Backspace)
- 4 key 65%/75% compatibility kit (R1 Del, R2 Pg Up, R3 Pg Dn, R4 End)
- 2 key 1800 compatibility kit (1u R4 Num0, 1u R4 Num+)
- 4 key 1u bottom row mods (2x 1U Ctrl, 2x 1U Alt)
(There is no ISO kit, however a supplementary kit will be available to order in the future. The primary reason for this is the lack of tooling for an ISO enter key)


Languages and MOQ
Due to the nature of the MOQ, we will only be having a number of legend designs, however we can have a manageable number of colorways for the legends. We have shortlisted the following for layouts on offer:
- Classic
- Arabic
- Hangul
- Japanese
- Russian
(NOTE: At this stage the languages (Legend options) have been decided on, so please do not request other layouts, they might happen at a later date, but no this round. We can discuss these elsewhere.

I'll be working with the community to ensure the legends for the foreign characters are correct weight, size and aligned for the final set. What we are looking from you are the different legend color/color combinations you'd like to buy.

These kits looks good, but are there any chances for a no OS specific key? Like a Diamond, Star, GH, or something like that?

We had a similar discussion on another thread, most likely, we'll be sticking to the classic monotone win key for the Classic, Arabic and Cyrillic sets. Japanese will get a big dot and rose of sharon for the Hangul.

[Photekq]

Definitely interested!

[switchnollie]

If the Hangul fonts aren't a bunch of twigs like EnjoyPBT's current caps & the Japanese set doesn't look like the PBT4 one that would be great.

Very interested tho

[MOZ]

They'll be different, we'll be using a more oriental version of the Hangul font. For Japanese well be using a slightly thicker version of a Gothic font, one that matches the Cherry legends in weight.

[joey]

I don't need more sets.. especially after EnjoyPBT.. but I do love those windows keys.

[t8c]

Great initative. So glad that originative have grabbed a hold of your design talents 

[nickheller]

I am interested, glad to see HHKB layout support!

Thanks

[kohi]

interested~
so will the hangul keycaps look something like the imsto hangul cherry keycaps?



I wish there was a black (E) cyan (H) colorway

[MOZ]

Yeah, that's the default MS font for Hangul, Gungsuh, which we'll be using.

sweet c: is there an estimate on pricing rn?

[switchnollie]

Perfect

Very excited for this.

[kawasaki161]

Oh nice, finally a source for hiragana caps. If the price is not GMK-level I'm definitely in.

[Butter]

Any idea how much that's going to cost?

[MOZ]

I can't comment on exact pricing, I'll ask Sheraton to chip in with that information, but I can tell you it most likely will be sub-$100.

We deliberated about ISO, complete 1800 support, etc, but decided on the current offering to keep the price as reasonable as possible.

A shame, would buy if there was a nordic/ISO kit.

Same, I wish it was easier to get ISO PBT kits

[MOZ]

As I mentioned in the OP, *not making any promises*, we will try to get a supplementary kit for ISO users that they can add to their main order. ISO enter is a bit of an issue.

[trenzafeeds]

I will definitely order a set if arabic is an option. I would love black english alphas with blue arabic sublegends personally.

[xtrafrood]

Beautiful! I really like the win logo in this set, and I definitely appreciate the extra keys that will be available

Noiceee if the colors don't clash and the font is nice and thick like that, I'll be in for a set.

[ika]

Love your mockups! This could be promising. Are you still working out the details, or do you know who will be doing the dyesubbing?

[laughatpain]

Would dark blue and deep red match Olivetti and Red Alert colors?

[bocahgundul]

Interested!

[y2bd]

Always interested in another source of these!

[pichu23]

Interested in Hangul
Who would be the manufacturer btw if you don't don't mind me asking?

i like this, but what about BSP PBT instead of enjoyPBT?
BSP PBT is more comfortable and more expensive.

Ew nipples ans they don't have thatvmuch variety

[Spopepro]

I will be in for a Hangul and probably a hiragana.

And while it probably wouldn't end up being popular enough, I would really, really like the Hangul set to be purple/cyan. Just throwing that out in case anyone thinks like I do.

yes ,i know BSP has less keys and some crooked keycap moulds(already improving a lot).
i have seen and used PBT sets made from the author of enjoyPBT on Sublimation. He does pretty well on Sublimation and is good on sublimation technique but is limited to the inferior enjoyPBT. BSP PBT has higher  quality. we could choose BSP as main keys and enjoyPBT as secondary choice which BSP doesn't have.
The price is probably high but i accept that

I have many BSP sets, classic beige style with black, blue, green, or red legends!

Sets only include 85 keys with no space bars.
