I won't find out production schedule until I submit the order.

Photoelectric · « **Reply #601 on:** Tue, 02 July 2013, 11:58:46 »

Hopefully not terribly long, since there won't be THAT many sets altogether. Although I can see various potential issues with all the fancy legend combinations and special symbols, and dual colors.

LechnerDE · « **Reply #602 on:** Tue, 02 July 2013, 12:11:07 »

Hopefully it won't take forever like this GB...

Previous one didn't took that long, so I assume this would be the same, and imsto is currently doing those alu casing too.

Photoelectric · « **Reply #604 on:** Tue, 02 July 2013, 15:56:59 »

^As well as the ZOMG novelty keys, which are taking a while, but it seems like a complicated set.

Hey question here: On the mockups, the "beige" looks more like "greyish" to me, and I like it. But it's only a mockup so it's only to give an idea. So I wanted to know if it was possible to get an accurate picture of the base colors for the keycaps (1 beige and 1 white) if possible. Anyone know how this white will be compared to the white on the vortex thick pbt from feng?

Thx in advance for the answer!

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #606 on:** Wed, 03 July 2013, 10:21:43 »

I hope this to be faster than the last time as I will be getting everything and doing all the shipping. Even though I appreciated all the help imsto gave on the last buy it took too long to finish shipping.

Like this.

Finally pulled the trigger on the Irish set, could be beneficial when I move my Filco to the office.

I'm surprised about the CapsLock keys on the photos being stepped -- what kind of CapsLock will the sets have, center stemmed or Cherry?

Please read the first lines of the first post.
These sets have them both.

Who is manufacturing these caps? Are these IMSTO/KBC?

Photoelectric · « **Reply #613 on:** Wed, 03 July 2013, 21:31:15 »

I am pretty sure that is the case, yes.

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #614 on:** Wed, 03 July 2013, 22:24:27 »

Yeah its an imsto production with whatever Chinese factory that makes this **** for us...

Well there is a BSP set coming out soon and doesn't SP do dyesub PBT?

Photoelectric · « **Reply #617 on:** Wed, 03 July 2013, 23:38:56 »

BSP sets are out--can get them from Sherry. Quite a bit more expensive, no PBT spacebar, and no numpad yet, I believe.

They do, but it's quite expensive (Nyan cat was SP dyesubbed I think)

Jocelyn · « **Reply #619 on:** Thu, 04 July 2013, 03:15:55 »

I really wish there was a purple set, so we could use it with GMK purple mods, but I realize this isn't going to happen

PS - I still need to put my order in.

JPG · « **Reply #620 on:** Thu, 04 July 2013, 08:25:55 »

I suppose it has been answered somewhere in the 1000+ posts, but the cherry keys are top row or bottom row? (row E is escape row right?)

LechnerDE · « **Reply #621 on:** Thu, 04 July 2013, 09:03:24 »

Yes, row E is the "Esc F1-F12" row

nonah · « **Reply #622 on:** Thu, 04 July 2013, 10:48:22 »

Incredibly glad I noticed this GB before it was too late. It looks very promising!

When I placed my order I had some net problems though, so I might've ordered more than once. And if that's the case, it's NOT intentional.

JPG · « **Reply #623 on:** Thu, 04 July 2013, 10:55:38 »

OK, loosed up my budget to get this GREEN!

Cant wait to see how it will look on my filco camo!

Is the green color lettering going to be close the green on the original IBM Model M alt keycap?

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #626 on:** Fri, 05 July 2013, 08:28:21 »

Green more like this SEA GREEN

These keys are listed as white/beige.

Does this mean the keys are more of a light beige color.

Will the beige match the beige of one of the beige Filco keyboards?

Photoelectric · « **Reply #629 on:** Fri, 05 July 2013, 11:17:50 »

Here's a photo of IMSTO blank thick PBT sets (should be the same colors, I believe) on a white Filco. Photo is by Ovoxo:

The white is a bit lighter than the cream-white of the Filco and the beige is darker.

The white is a bit lighter than the cream-white of the Filco and the beige is darker.

So that's closer to a pure white than a beige based on this picture.

It looks like this key set will be an off white. Like a tinge of beige.

Am I right in that regard?

Photoelectric · « **Reply #631 on:** Fri, 05 July 2013, 12:17:07 »

Yes, IMSTO thick PBT white is a creamy off white color if seen against pure white.

gbohn · « **Reply #632 on:** Sun, 07 July 2013, 17:20:00 »

Pardon me if this has been asked before, but are the windows keys going to be as shown in the Original Post?

That is, the "Black - US standard - ANSI" will have multi-color old-style Windows keys, and the "Red - US standard - ANSI" (or green or blue) will have matching single color Windows 8 logos?

Thanks.

No, the IMSTO white PBT is an off-white creamy color, not a bright white. It will appear white, but if you put it against pure white, you'll see that it's a darker off-white.

muad · « **Reply #637 on:** Mon, 08 July 2013, 19:41:58 »

The reason I ask is because those white caps are from the previous groupbuy IvanIvanovich did... and that picture is very white.

Ambient light, presence or absence of flash, white balance / AI setting in the camera, any postprocessing, and your monitor calibration will all play a role in how accurately colors are represented. In this case, we're talking about shades of pale offwhite. IMSTO "white" thick PBT color has been discussed many times. It's not pure white.

muad · « **Reply #639 on:** Mon, 08 July 2013, 20:02:28 »

ok thanks, then Im in for sure. One more stupid question. The imsto white/beige set from here: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/KBC-White-Gray-Dyesub-Blue-Fonts-Thick-PBT-104-Keyset-Cherry-MX-Keycaps-/330911046913?pt=PCA_Mice_Trackballs&hash=item4d0bd5dd01&_uhb=1

Im guessing this is pretty close to what we will get except the caps will be the right colour?

thanks

Photoelectric · « **Reply #640 on:** Mon, 08 July 2013, 20:06:26 »

Im still unclear if IMSTO's light gray and beige are the same mixed color that is referred to by either name. That's my best guess. The white caps will be the same, with different legends.

ETA: look at some people's photos (granted, many are too yellow and need to be corrected, but you will get the idea):

The white caps have some tone to them.

I placed an order. Is there any way to purchase four blank r4 keys (white)? I have a Ducky DK2108 I'm going to possibly put these on, and it has four additional keys above the keypad for volume adjustment and calculator. Unless there are those keys, which would be really cool but I doubt it.
