I believe he is talking about entirely new molds, not just new legends.  To get the proper profile and wall thickness.  That is hundreds of $$ per key type, I believe.

Everyone, go have a look at the samples in the QWERkeys section. Quit wasting time with SP and divert your efforts to someone who is listening.

? If it is Devlin, looks like they might be prepared to listen to the market now.

These look pretty damn good to me, which was what I was on about. They look very Cherry like in Arial Rounded. Whether they are using Devlin, or it's entirely them done in house I don't know. Either way...

I believe he did state it is Devlin.

So why did Devlin say no before then if those are their keys? It's pretty clear they are capable... Arial rounded is good enough.

Devlin can't do 2shot on cherry like profile. Only 2shot are flat keycaps like in here. Those samples in qwerkey are lasered (dunno what about white on black)

He did list another profile that they can also do 2 shot in. Not sure what it is. I'm not really a fan of those square flat keys. But those colored keys that were pictured earlier seem to be taller.

Oh, yes I see, a profile problem. Time for Devlin to invest in some Cherry profile clone molds for doubleshots and watch the custom order money pour in.

Is there any chance of getting this group buy in an english layout keyboard?

Maybe I should give in and purchase a US style keyboard because the lack of double row enter keys is killing me.

The first thing we will do is a Dolch replica set.

Hashbaz confirmed this will be the first project from the upcoming Cherry replica legend thread!

OP update incoming!
