Would love a rainbow set, but if not then I'd settle for white.

filphil · « **Reply #151 on:** Thu, 23 July 2015, 13:02:22 »

Will be down to buy a set or two.

cwils0n · « **Reply #152 on:** Thu, 23 July 2015, 14:48:05 »

I'm interested as well. I'm down for whatever color is best available, I just want to try a set of POMs. If I had a choice though it'd be orange, purple, or blue.

Jelly yellow or pink!

xquisit · « **Reply #155 on:** Sat, 25 July 2015, 02:07:38 »

In for a set! I liked your post

White, blue, magenta, orange, yellow, etc

Everything mentioned is solid

(I dont know my sizing too well, will I be able to use these on any one of my keyboards: KBT Race / KBC Poker 2 / Ducky Shine 3?)

jet2686 · « **Reply #156 on:** Mon, 27 July 2015, 20:32:46 »

I'm in for a set, white or electric blue. Hell i might even buy both.

(Currently i have the k70 I'm not sure if there are keys i cant replace on bottom row but i would buy the set anyway!)

Given this post was made a while ago anyone know what is going on with this?

Definitely interested in jelly white and probably another colored set to mix and match.

Well... Technically there was the Red Scarf III which didn't... But that was an entire keyboard so it made sense.

I hope that it has a raised "homing bar" near the bottom edge on the 'F' and 'J' keys

i might be into this. if there is a possibility of 2-color, would we be able to get a second 'mod' color tab/backslash key for hhkb-layout/to appease those who prefer symmetrical color schemes?

As far as I understood Ivan he will offer two separate sets for easy mix'n'match. A 2 tone set would be too much sorting work for him.

So just buy one of each and build the combination you want

What does “cherry profile” mean precisely?

Any chance for extra tall row F keycaps?

Giorgio · « **Reply #176 on:** Thu, 13 August 2015, 04:37:27 »

I hope that the F and J have a bar in the lower part of the keycap (not scooped, please :-)))

Here is a comparison picture for keycap profiles:

Most keyboards come with OEM profile keycaps as standard. These will be cherry profile, which is "shorter" than OEM.

He is just wondering about whether the taller row 5 will be used on the f row.
Most Cherry profile sets do not have row 5 f keys however some Cherry sets do.

The gateron moulds for the PBT set had f and j keys which were both scooped with homing bars. An interesting design.
However, I am not sure what is going on here. My source says that gateron does not have the tooling for POM sets.
They do have moulds for PBT keycaps but they can't use those same moulds for POM since different plastics have different shrink ratios.

At this time, I think going for simple translucent 'milky' color is the best approach. I may also consider doing batch dye on them in the various iDye poly colors. This way we get the best of all worlds without individual MOQ for different colors.

For me, I'm most interested in making combos with 2 key sets to create 2 tone (dark/light) layouts of a colour e.g. light and dark blue, green, red, orange..

I'd be pretty much in for whatever dark/light sets you might have available.. though I'd probably also play with complementary colour combinations :-)

Are you thinking of actually doing all this work (dying!) or selling dye kits as well?

Any status you'd care to share on how this potential GB is coming along? (Having received Gateron PBT's, I am really excited about these POM's. Their Cherry profiles are tops.)

Not to mention 1800 support. This is a superior set in every way.

ika · « **Reply #191 on:** Fri, 21 August 2015, 19:44:52 »

Purely on the basis of price alone this is definitely a superior set, but 300 MOQ sounds like a lot, and feng's buy is the second in a short amount of time. Is there enough interest to reach MOQ for multiple colors?

You're right, the MOQ is a risk. But I'm done with settling due to FOMO. I'm either getting the Cherry profile POM caps I want, or no caps at all.

FWIW, most people with an opinion prefer Cherry profile to OEM. I don't have a preference, but the two definitely don't mix.

If feel is important to you, you may want to try POMs before you buy. They are... slippery.

To add on to this, the cheapest way to try out POM caps are to find an old set of Cherry caps that someone pulled off a G80 or something. Slippery is a good way to put it, it's not the texture of the cap but more a quality of the material itself.
