I don't really think we need to do Cherry replicas for these, for the same reason there was no option for Cherry replica off center stepped caps lock. There are already plenty of them available.

Love this, let's do it.  A group buy for F/J keys from recent sets seems like a good idea to cover the cost.

My thumbs also love the idea of re-doing the bottom row at some point in the future.

Yeah, what I meant was the tool would come in handy for when the Cherry Replica sets start to get made, so that they can include scoops too. Everyone who has original Cherry sets already has scoops :)

+1 for a new bottom-row, but that's another project altogether.

WYSE is dark blue on grey, with SP font. The Cherry Replica Blue on Grey by imsto had a different blue and grey than WYSE.

In order to save in cost Shouldn't we all compromise on the same font and color?

The mold cost will be the main brunt of it, which will be shared across all orders. The point of this project is to provide a scoop version of F & J for all of the SP-made set group buys in the past :)

but wouldn't it cost a lot if we had to get one of each mold for all of the sets that we have bought?(as I read each new font needs a new mold). I would be fine with basic White on Black if it would help us save on the cost of multiple molds. I wouldn't even mind blanks. As long as if I get the feel of the caps.

I am very fond of the Cherry color"Royal Blue on Grey"

Yes because all of the past sets from SP have had the same legends (at least as far as the alphas go) - SP's standard font, which is also WYSE font. It's just a matter of making the different colour combinations to match.

HELL YES!
Count me in, I LOVE the scoops on my Cherry Dye Subs.

What about sharing the 2500$ cost per participant? That would encourage taking more keys a bit more, and hence result in a somewhat cheaper price. It’s still quite much though …
Anyway, I’m definitely in for at least 2 white on black sets.

I'll be honest with you, I don't think I've ever seen a set of Cherry DS's I'm interested in. Blasphemy I know. But I don't really see how they differ from the SP Valentine's set or the Filco stock caps besides being vintage. And I don't really like any of the color schemes. Unless those grey alpha-numerics with blue modifiers is a Cherry set.

Also, CPTBadAss, they feel different. You really have to experience it to see the difference. Whether you agree that they're better or not is up to you.

Now I'm curious. I'll have to look into it
