I need that white set. Any idea what the price will be?
Those look really nice. Any ideas about cost? And is it a smoother or more textured PBT?
No word on pricing. I'll bug Shadovved in the morning and update.
BTW, what do you mean textured PBT? I have a rough description below. Get it...rough...description? :))
== == == == ==
Surprised by how nice those look. Ill be keeping my eyes open for a GB :)
How textured is the surface? Very rough like keycool or smoother like BSP?
I haven't had the opportunity to try keycool or BSP key caps. :(
On texture, the Gateron PBT (the light gray one in the middle) has a finer surface texture than a fresh SP key cap (the WoB Esc)...you can kinda see it in this picture but I'll try to get some better texture shots tomorrow.

+1 curious to know the texture, and I don't have a SP set so I can't take anything from that comparison. I will definitely buy a set when Shadovved runs a GB, but curious if they are rough or smooth.
Yep, that pricing Ivan mentioned is about right.
Here's some pictures for texture comparison. I need a proper macro lens and rails.

Does the 6.25 spacebar work with leopolds like the fc660m?
I'm not sure. I could measure the stem spacing if that would help.
Awesome shots infiniti! I would be interested in one of these sets for sure.
I have a bsp classic beige set(along with a lot of other brandsMore
vortex(dyesub&doubleshot), plum, tai-hao doubleshot, geekkeys thick, leopold thick
) I could compare them to but I don't have a good camera to compare colors. I could see about borrowing a friend's but that being said I'd love to try them but will understand if you send them to others.
I've got some German Cherry PBT dyesubed and lasered and also some white Imsto PBT keycaps I could compare them to, if you'd be willing to ship those keycaps to a relatively new user here on Geekhack. I'm much more active on DT, if you need a reference.
PM'd you. ;)

Couldn't you send him some caps? Lol
That said if you're active on DT then I imagine it'd be fine if he has extra's to send.
I was thinking of borrowing caps to photograph but I didn't want to risk breaking up someone set in fear of losing something. :eek:

Okay I did some measurements on a few keys from some of my thicker keycap sets.

Thank you for the answer on space bars availability.
According to Shadovved, if there is enough interest, orders for space bars only would be possible. ;)
Expect within these two weeks for a GB.
Ironing some stuff out first so it'll be smooth later.
I hope Gateron is willing to make two-tone sets. I'm also hoping for a surprise, maybe an addon that spices things up, but I'm not sure what that would be. Do you usually mark international packages with a lower value so that people can avoid customs? I'd be able to buy more than one set if you do.
Thanks for the work ;)
Here's a few comparison shot to the beiges of gaterons next to OG doubleshots.

Can someone tell me what color combinations they are? White/beige or white/light grey or beige/light grey?
Thank you so much for your reply. You made my day. I joined the GB with my community and it will be ordered before the deadline. At least I dont have to plant a new stem for this to work. trimming off is easy enough for me :d
Hi, would you be able to throw in few extra left shift for FC660M user like me? I know my post count is like non existence but I have been following GB through VNMK admins few times. From the pictures i think gateron produce the stem to fit as many keyboard as it can and it looks like it will fit fc660m too. therefore the only thing missing is an extra left shift.
I've been looking on confirmation on this as well.
Some people said the spacebar works with the fc660m. Some said the spacebar doesn't work.
One guy told me the spacebar from this kit will only work with the korean version of the fc660m.
I'm still looking for a solid answer.
One of the FC660M owners I sent 6.25u spacebars for testing said that:
...the space bar doesn't fit right out of the box. The issue is that the stab stems closest to the middle, not needed by the 660M bind on the Cherry stab housings. Wouldn't be an issue with Costar stabs, but I think all 660Ms come with Cherry stabs. I'm pretty sure it will work after some careful trimming of these unnecessary stems...
Basically, you need to trim the parts in shaded in green:

It looks like Gateron are doing ISO Enter now:

Would make a sweet addon set for the people who use ISO. Very little cherry profile around, especially PBT.

Not sure what's special about the Rshift.
