Different people value different things. No need to get your panties waddled up, demik. It's ok for you not to have an affinity for plastic parts, but don't hate on people that do.

For instance, I just don't get why women want diamonds and gold. I could really give a s**t less about that stuff. But clearly, a lot of people love it. Let them.

demik · « **Reply #51 on:** Tue, 27 November 2012, 14:11:27 »

Or... Not.

the "drooling" around keycaps has completely killed what this forum was about.

no wonder we are so far behind the Koreans. Care more about the accessories just to wow each other.

MMB · « **Reply #52 on:** Tue, 27 November 2012, 14:16:09 »

What's the point of having a forum, then? Just buy all the s**t you want, and keep it to yourself. No need to share with anyone. That would be ideal for you.

You should be out riding bikes, not on the forum hating on everything, bro.

Well, demik is right and I share a similar view.

the point of a forum is to show off to others? Got it. Here I thought it was to do stuff as a community not "look at the 6 new boards I got please praise me and tell me how much you envy me"

I'm at work on break, not on my bike.

the word hate gets thrown around too easily.

Actually, yes. That is the point. Whether it be keycaps, keyboards, a project someone is working on or a discussion. You are sharing ideas, interests, etc.

It's part of the community, and because you happen to not like it, yes you are 'hating' on it. How about; I hate your opinions, I don't think you should post them anymore. Because that's essentially what you are saying.

Sounds good to have another alternative,
except for the colour choice, what are the differences with what SP already offers?
Is it safe to assume that they will have cherry font knowing they made the original caps?

that's your opinion and you're free to have it. Just as how I can ignore it you can ignore me.

quick somebody post something rare so the drones will take over with oohhhs and aahhhs since that's what GH has become and my posts will be buried.

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #62 on:** Tue, 27 November 2012, 14:36:57 »

To me this is the entire point of getting more keys made of Cherry. No more crazy prices and butthurtness that someone don't have color X in Cherry. We get to do groupbuy as a community and get the nice things that are currently very hard and expensive to find. Everyone is winning.

Acanthophis · « **Reply #63 on:** Tue, 27 November 2012, 14:39:46 »

lysol, when did you send them a mail?
Did they respond yet?
(I hope their English will be sufficient enough

Batmann · « **Reply #64 on:** Tue, 27 November 2012, 14:49:12 »

I don't see what's different from SP except colours, someone can explain?

MMB · « **Reply #65 on:** Tue, 27 November 2012, 14:49:47 »

SP uses a thinner plastic, with rounded edges.

i3oilermaker · « **Reply #66 on:** Tue, 27 November 2012, 14:50:12 »

The profile is also slightly different.

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #68 on:** Tue, 27 November 2012, 14:56:10 »

Cherry doubleshots are higher quality than SP and the profile is much more comfortable.
I contact to GMK in the morning here after I read the email from Cherry, so it was probably already afternoon in Germany. I haven't gotten a response yet.

Alessandro · « **Reply #69 on:** Tue, 27 November 2012, 14:57:33 »

Oh man! This is very, very exciting news! I can't wait to hear something else!

If this goes through, Lysol will be the forever reigning king of Cherry.

Vintage · « **Reply #70 on:** Tue, 27 November 2012, 15:28:55 »

These sound very cool.... and probably very popular.

GB inc!

Assuming they are not that expensive.

Acetrak · « **Reply #71 on:** Tue, 27 November 2012, 15:42:32 »

Assuming they are willing to do it, and we won't meet any legal troubles for using that font for non-Cherry products or something. Not sure if I'm over thinking. We'll see.

Bearing in mind how quickly you want your GB to go, you may have to stick with SP. I think the best bet is to wait a few days and see if we get a response.

rayuki · « **Reply #74 on:** Tue, 27 November 2012, 16:19:20 »

It's probally gonna be a few days before I have everything set with it anyway to go thru to ordering/gb stage. Might be worth the wait though lol

@rayuki

i would just wait a little for some feedback from lysol & co if there is anything possible with GMK. in case it is, would be good to have some strong groupbuy ready for them.

I like that yellow - is it from GMK somehow?

If not, what yellow is it? Where is it from?

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #78 on:** Tue, 27 November 2012, 16:36:48 »

Noticed Cherry dosen't even use that font anymore on lasered keys? Noticed that there are many keyboards/typewriter/tty device/etc that were not made by Cherry that use same keycap? Somehow I don't think the legend will be any sort of issue, may even be thier default much like SP have thier default font.
I asked specifically about color options, will see about getting a color ring and all of that provided the moqs aren't some crazy amount like 20000...

tsangan · « **Reply #79 on:** Tue, 27 November 2012, 16:37:02 »

you guys are underestimating the MOQ, not many places are nice like SP that deal with such a small MOQ as ours.

I'm not saying it could be crazy high but I also don't think it would be that small

sth · « **Reply #80 on:** Tue, 27 November 2012, 16:41:19 »

yes but a cross-forum group buy is not unheard of and people will go bonkers for group buys of practically original cherry keys. i'd love some PBTs with 1.5 mods and the right spacebar but it's not worth the collector's market for me to bother hunting for them right now.

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #81 on:** Tue, 27 November 2012, 16:42:24 »

That is VERY true. I hope we can get the chance to buy from them, but it may not even be possible even with combined buying power of all the keyboard forum if the moq is at industrial size. Surely they are more used to dealing with large corporation that order thousands and tens of thousands of keys at once.

sth · « **Reply #82 on:** Tue, 27 November 2012, 16:43:16 »

there's always the option of massdrop talking to them

baldgye · « **Reply #83 on:** Tue, 27 November 2012, 16:45:04 »

I'd go fully errect if we could get a GB of cream/grey/coffee (what ever the colours are called) with some dome to the caps (one of there .pdf's shows a domed cap... with ISO mod's.... so errect..

fruktstund · « **Reply #84 on:** Tue, 27 November 2012, 16:47:19 »

We're probably prepared to pay more per keycap set than companies like Cherry at least. Or well, that's what I think, since people buy those semi-crappy SP sets for the same price as a full keyboard.

But then maybe it doesn't work like "double the price - half the MOQ" in the GMK world.

Tomorrow will be an interesting day for sure. <:

guilleguillaume · « **Reply #85 on:** Tue, 27 November 2012, 16:59:44 »

I'm willing to spend a lot of money in those keycaps in case we can get our hands on them.

Such a thing it's worth more than any custom set we could get from SP or other sources in my opinion so I wouldn't miss the chance of purchasing everything I wanted.

rowdy · « **Reply #86 on:** Tue, 27 November 2012, 17:15:39 »

I'm still looking for decent yellow MX keycaps. WASD are too pale. Filco are too awkward (and approaching too expensive) to get (if no-one wants to sell me a set frmo a yellow Filco hehe).

If their yellow is anything like those on the board lysol posted, I would be interested.

My thoughts exactly. I'm hoping the MOQ is reasonable for just us regular joes, but I'm not getting hyped up until I hear back from lysol or GMK

precarious · « **Reply #88 on:** Tue, 27 November 2012, 18:00:42 »

this could very easily become the most expensive group buy ever, both in terms of totality and also for me personally ;00000

he's... he's....

you're god damned right he is.

I'm fairly new here so I just want to get this strait before I get too excited. So this GMK company made the original Cherry doubleshot keycaps for cherry and someone is in contact with them to make new ones for us? Does this mean we will be able to get brand new exact copy keycaps of the Red Esc keycap that has been going for $250 lately and vintage looking black on beige keycaps that go for quite a lot on ebay?
