But you have to read Chinese to order directly from taobao.  My Chinese sucks.  Is there any way to get in on this for a set of either blanks or red?

Thanks, I really like the font on your blue set. Fortunately KBC improved this set, as the original one looked totally unprofessional by my standards.
The legends on your pictures look bolder, the F-keys are centered, the bottom row modifiers are aligned to the left(although I prefer the windows and menu keys to be centered), also the design of the TAB key changed, and KBC fixed the length of the slash key and the alignment of the End key. Yes I'm really that picky.
Good job imsto! Overall I prefer the font over the original Cherry corp font. Now I really want a black on white set.
However there is still room for improvement, as that off-color white non-stepped capslock key looks plain ridiculous, and in my opinion KBC should have kept the vertical alignment of the Print Screen, Scroll lock, Pause centered.


Picture of the original one posted by imsto. Where is the minus key on the Num pad? Nevermind, I see it on the red set.

Edit: The font on the backspace also got fixed. The original red version had a tiny font.

I need to get the stepped caps modded. But damn I'm really not that picky. I did notice some white residue on some caps. Not sure if it's from the manufacturing process.

impection in the first batch are common, as seen in the SP run, let us hope the next batch will get things right, that inclues the CAP LOCK and the MINUS keys.

Whats wrong with the minus key? Caps lock is not such a big deal to me. It should have been gray of course. But I'm more worried about the stepped one.

the stepped one is in correct color, but it is for the cherry layout. the centered one is for filco layout but in wrong color, maybe someone at the final production process got it wrong?

I understand that. Shouldn't be too much of a big deal to get it modded. But yah imo they both should have been centered. But you said something was wrong with the minus key.  Looks fine to me. One pic shows a cherry cap (which I would have much rather had instead of minus) but the red set pic shows it with the minus key.

the MINUS key: is it the cherry logo one? or they provide a proper key also?
I heard they have received quite a large group buy from Korea, so maybe the seller really does not give a damn about the caplock. but if they decide to fix it, I will place my orders.

So you got the minus key correctly, and your set didn't include the cherry key? Imo the stepped capslock key is just fine, making it centered has no practical advatage. The whole idea of the stepped keys is to eliminate the need of stabilizers, and fill up the blank space(they could have used a smaller centered key, but that would make it look weird), that's the reason why the design it off-centered.

Have you experienced the common problem with thicker Cherry Corp PBT keys with costar stabilizers? Namely, the wire has a tendency to stick to the wall of the keycap when bottoming out.

I think he was just showing off the chery cap in that pic. Again if you look at the red set. You will see it has a minus. My set came with the minus key and no cherry cap.

Well the problem with it being uncentered is it doesn't freaking work! These keys were obviously made for a filco style layout right? Since all the modifiers are centered. So not really sure why the caps wouldn't be. Anyways I just noticed that with the white caps lock the LED can shine through so that is a plus for me.

As far as the stabilizer issue no I have not had any sticking. I just tested every key and couldn't make it happen. But since I got this board it has not seen much use. Its on a blue switch board and my PC is in my living room. So it can be distracting for everyone else when I use this keyboard.

In the OP it says it's also made to suit 3000 series Cherry keyboards as well which have centered modifiers but off-center stepped caps lock (the only difference between them and a Filco's layout). I'm buying the set to use with one of those so I actually want the off-center stepped caps lock as it is. The centered caps lock is just silly being off color though.

Your pictures of the caps look great, lightsout. Well done and hopefully you're enjoying the PBTs.

I'm gonna have to wait until these are in black font and the caps lock color is fixed (or they just make all white/beige caps). It's actually pretty silly that of all colors, black is the one that isn't even made and has to be requested.

Same here. I THOUGHT I'd sent paypal with a few days left, but for some reason it's not showing up on my paypal or my bank statement.

and I REALLY wanted a set on green in Dvorak. it was the oppourtunity of a lifetime. (well, no... A dvorak selectric would be)

I'm sure you still have the opportunity to buy this in the future! Plus like someone mentioned earlier, the small kinks like the lack of a proper centred caps lock might be ironed out by then.

Anyone get a set with purple lettering? I'm intrigued by how it would look. Pretty unique imo.

Thank you. Black does seem like a common choice but I think they went for something a little different.

For all you guys still wanting in has anyone PM'd imsto? You still may have a chance. At least worth a shot.

The blue-print key caps look so sharp!  I may have to get in on a similar group buy in the future. :)

Just curious...do people running these group buys ever buy more than what is "pre-ordered" to sell to others that may have missed the pre-order period?  Based on what I've seen of these group buys and the demand after, it seems like buying a few extra could be worth it.

I'm new to the group buys, though (only found out about them in the last couple weeks and never done one yet), so maybe that's not practical...
