Is that picture a sample of their actual caps, or just a photoshop so we can have an idea of the colors?

I am really curious about the sample, how the hell they can dyesub lighter legends? Do they dyesub everything except the legends?
yep, surprised no one's done it before honestly

Wait did no one try or were there valid reasons no one did it before? I've had this idea ever since I heard about that whole dyesub stuff, but I thought that it is basically impossible since no one did it at that time.

Don't have a lot of time, but I'll address whatever concerns here.

The $60 price is the GB price.  Retail will run $10 more than that. I personally like keeping Gbs small so I'm not holding onto a bunch of people's money and then not ending up delivering. 

The $110price was for another set using a different dye sub process. However, I realized that the price was unreasonable despite the result. The company also had bad communication which I personally did not like.

So the current offer is the PBT magenta and PBT cyan sets you see before you.

The image you see is not a Photoshop. It is a real cap. I'm waiting for samples to arrive this week (from what I'm told). We'll see how it is! I'll take photos with my macro lens to show quality compared to enjoypbt.

Definitely a possibility.  In fact, I will look into that as well.

Looking good! I wish you were doing this GB for that shade of Purple though! I don't think Cyan or Magenta colour would go with any of my boards. Maybe for Round 2 you could consider Purple or other colours?

Also plz offer winkeys with that vintage windows logo! Maybe as an optional add-on? It's super pretty, especially in Purple like the samples.

the yellow & purple are the actual caps.

Negative dye sub process. Dye sub around the legend.

Wow, those legends are crisper than I thought the process would make.

If they can dye the whole cap evenly you could make some promising sets.

Legends are nice, but the dye sub job on the sides are not good :(. Back to the drawing board.

Negative dye sub process. Dye sub around the legend.

Really interesting process and it seems to work fairly consistently down to the base of the caps, though it looks like they had trouble with the ISO return key inside the corner where the dye hasn't made contact.

I probably wouldn't be interested in a full keyset, but would definitely be interested in a purple mod pack, particularly 1.25 OS keys, ESC key, and Enter key. Would go great with the black/purple on beige Hangul set I recently bought through your site. Would mod packs or individual keys be a possibility before full keysets go ahead, to give people a cheaper option to see these caps for themselves?

For a moment I was thinking "This seems really inefficient..." but then I saw the possible renders with the striped Enter key and I stopped caring.

This is cool, and I hope something awesome comes from it.

Oops, replied to an old post by accident and couldn't figure out how to delete.

Anyway, might as well make this post count... any word on the possibility of a mod pack?
