Here are some pics of my Gateron blanks with scoop + bar:

Of course the feeling of these scoops can not be deduced from looking at pictures, but you can imaging that they will not feel significantly different from rest of the R3 keys.

That looks very nice, thanks

there is no point at all making a poll with something that manufacturer does not even make.
it's like you are asking BSP to make spacebar in a BSP group buy.

I didn't read every single message in this thread, but if bars weren't available at all from gateron, I'm sure that the OP would have said that.

you can see in the OP pictures that there are bars on the caps..

Bars, like bars without scoops. Gaterons in this gb are bar plus scoops, I don't know if they are available as bars only.

So from what it looks, you were just expecting to see in the OP that Bars weren't available?

How this is the pbt on these? Will it completely block a backlight?

[demik]

ಠ_ಠ

[swornxin]

I wish you would do a black legends with beige.

I know you said you don't want to take away from classic beige, but for me ABS is a deal breaker.

Regardless, really nice GB. keeping my eye on it. if you did a black legends beige with ability to buy an extra colored win key that would be the dream.

I see that you've already responded to this, but I would be in for sure with black on beige as well.  Olivetti would be a maybe from me, since I have an order for one coming at the moment.

it will for the most part except for the very front

Ugh, that always bothers me. Will still probably go in for this though.

If it's that important, you could always paint he inside or put foil in and glue it

Good point, I've had some luck with that in the past.

It's something I want to try to see if it improves the backlighting since it would reflect it

[Dorothy]

I'm in for an Olivetti set 100%.

[apolotary]

In for purple and Olivetti

[cooldiscretion]

I would definitely buy an Olivetti set. And probably a black on beige as well.

Do you have any more details about this?

Maybe that purple on beige set from the picture was dye-subbed before they had everything fully perfected, because the pictures from the OP seem to have perfect F-row legends.  Also, the pictures someone posted a while ago with the red on beige set they got from taobao didn't have any issues with misaligned legends.

I'm no expert in these matters, but it seems to me that either all the sets would be messed up or none of them if the settings are the same on the machines.  It's also weird that only the legends in the function row have obvious issues.

[joey]

I can't even remember who posted it now, someone from irc. Perhaps it was an older photo, can't remember the details.

I just want to be re-assured that they *won't* look like this!

[cooldiscretion]

I completely agree.  I really want some of these if they can tell us they won't have the imperfect F-row legends.

[sethk_]

I have seen a good bit of sets, including my own, and I have never seen them that bad. Anyways, I am just waiting for him to reply to my email.

[bazemk1979]

I would be interested if you can give us black legends option, also would be great to have the extension set that's with the windowed caps. Just curious whats the cost of the set? these look like thick pbt correct?

Yep! I honestly don't know what the full price will be, but I plan on it being under 90$.

Only thing holding me back is waiting on his email reply.

[edsucks]

Just saw this. 70-80 dollars before shipping isn't that bad, honestly.
Would love to pick up a set with purple legends.

Same here 

[Bigpock]

I'll place an order for a set of purple on beige

So sick

[ika]

Is it the photos or does the purple on beige look a lot sharper than the red alert? I've been on the lookout for an RA set for a while but the purples here look so much better.

Based on the stuff different people have been posting, it seems like the quality of these has historically been a bit variable. I think the purple and the red in the OP were most likely just made at different times. Hopefully all the sets in this buy will look more like the purple.

[zzyjayfree]

Pretty nice caps!

[MEEPhouse]

Would be interested in purple on beige and or Olivetti. These look great!

[julayyy]

I'm in for the purple on beige or the blue one. Has the price been set yet?

[trenzafeeds]

Only thing holding me back is waiting on his email reply.

Yooo any word?

[cooldiscretion]

I keep freaking when I see people post in this thread. I need these.

[Xdoras]

Will these be available in UK layout? Guessing not.

[WhitePlate]

I'm interested in the Red on Beige for my red eagle.  Also does anyone know where I can purchase some Cherry logo 1u window keys?
