Someone asked whether the bottom mods can be used vertically on ergo dox. Does anyone know?

Edit: I meant the 2.0x mods (backspace)

I've been lurking geek hack for a while but I finally registered to get in on this group buy.

Now hopefully I can buy someones spare GH60 PCB once they start rolling out

Glad to have you in!

I have 4 GH60 PCB and plates.  I may get rid of one..probably the Pure plate with the PCB together

Come on, guys, let's step up these orders. It's nine freaking dollars a set. Isn't that just about the same price as the venti super macchiado latte cappuccino you buy at your favorite overpriced coffee joint every morning? Buy a bunch of sets--think of the customization possibilities for your current and future keyboards. And do not forget to go back and order that set of black that you neglected to order your first time through. You may think you can mix and match another color in with your existing black keys, but think about the font mismatches, people... Think. ^{About. The. Fonts!}

So many possibilities! And using the keyboard color chooser, I couldn't even make the Esc or arrow keys a different color.

ORDER MOAR DS KEYS TODAY!




Cheeseheads, show your team spirit!

Can you add a black set to my order? (I _think_ that makes it one of each, but I honestly forget)

Excellent!

And a green and red combination for that special Christmas look

[LechnerDE]

Yeah those mockups look awesome. They should be copied to the OP to attract new buyers.

But it must be made clear again that these sets won't come with blank 1.25 modifiers and a 6.25 spacebar.


EDIT:

yeah you guys are right ofc

[rowdy]

They do have 1.25x modifiers - blank, according to the OP.

But yes, they have a 7x space bar.

Clearly people just need to buy some winkeyless korean boards to use their $9 keycaps on.

Hey Thanks! And yeah I got one of each set

[smokescreen]

Could you please add a black set to my order kind sir?

Santa Claus is coming to town! 



Someone asked me how I generated these mockups. I used the online keyboard color chooser: http://lab.cubiq.org/kbcc/. I found this link in the OP of the "Simple Questions, Simple Answers" thread here: http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=40501.0.

Also, it's a great point to mention that these mockups are not 100% accurate since we aren't getting the correct sized space bar. But it's mostly right.

Hey Elton, can you switch my green set for a yellow set? Thanks!

It's a really nice yellow.

Why not get both? It's only 9 bucks. I need to encourage the purchase of all colors equally, so I can get my full order!

It's probably because the green looks really cheap. You can see the stem and everything on the green keycaps.

[Thechemist]

Where can I buy a cheap abs white blank alpha / base set? I think it would compliment these keycaps.

[salmo]

Where can I buy a cheap abs white blank alpha / base set?

WASD has some on eBay for only $19.99.  (Television has conditioned me to not be able to say that price without the prefix of 'only'.)  They'll match in material and profile to these.

Forgot the link

I have seen those but i would be missing lots of r4 1x1's and the 87 set on ebay is $40

I have many more but i would like to keep some for myself.  :p Hopefully all of these picturers will entice others to purchase sets they never thought of buying in the first place and new buyers to buy one of each.

But will the profiles match up between the two different sets of keycaps?

Apparently yes, as someone said earlier, but the colours will be different.

Or you can go SP which will have a (much) closer match for the colour, but the profile will be different.

[eviltobz]

Would it be correct to assume that this is only for a standard U.S. qwerty layout, hence not much use to someone who wants colemak letters and a U.K. number row, and would only be able to find a home for a couple of the other mod keys as it's for an ergodox?

[Halvar]

Yes, that would probably be correct to assume. Unless the usable mod keys can't be sourced for any better price anywhere else.

[McWilloughby]

Worth noting that with the extra included keys (now the price was changed to $9 to incorporate more keys), the two bottom rows will be fine on an ISO layout (as far as I'm aware?). Only things we'll be missing are #~ and proper legends for 2, 3 and @.

[LechnerDE]

@ Elton

Looking at the real life pics you posted of the greens they look kinda "cheap" (not fully green, seems like white shines trough)

The other colors look better in that regard  (at least on the pics). Can you confirm this?

[elton5354]

Yes, the green looks a bit "washed out".  Looks like the top part is very thin and is showing small spots of the white shots underneath.

[rowdy]

The white legend on yellow looks quite readable in that picture.

The RGB are all nice dark colours too

[actionbastard]

I think blue is going to be my favorite 

[bazemk1979]

Green shows a little but its not bad at all, still looking good!

[Sifo]

They're aight. I like the blue.

The 1.5s are going to be SP's awful off-profile bottom row, to "match" with OEM profile keycaps, aren't they?

[bazemk1979]

I think the 1.5 and 1 mods with the x7 space bar are made by Tao Hao not SP, at least in this GB

[elton5354]

All keys included are made by Tai Hao..

[Sifo]

OH ssssshhheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeit awesome

I'd like to order more sets but shipping is the limiting factor here Plus, my initial reservation about yellow was the legibility of white-on-yellow, which seems not to be an issue at all.

[LechnerDE]

Seems like orders have slowed down quite a bit.

Green, Black and Yellow seem to stagnate at ~320 orders. Maybe we should drop one of them by voting.

I have ordered 7 sets. If one color is dropped I'd fill up my order to 7 sets again with one of the "unpopular" colors to help them reach MOQ.

[rowdy]

Blue is nearly there!

Yellow is trailing a bit

Before dropping a colour I would perhaps ask Tai Hao if they can reduce the MOQ on the other colours, and let them know we'll do 500 on some colours as it is currently anyway. I reckon we could push for 400 orders on the others, that's still worth it for Tai Hao to manufacture.

EDIT: If that fails, I would also be happy to fill up my order of 7 sets if we drop a colour. Unless it is black which is dropped as I really only want coloured modifiers / highlights with the other colours. If black is dropped I'd have to bail on the whole GB which would be a shame.
