PBT4 FULL SETS (COMPLETE)

[GSimon]

The profile of these keycaps, would they be cherry profile as in comparable to GMK/Imsto PBT novelties? Or similar to Vortex Poker ii/Ducky PBT keysets?

Well only GMK/Imsto seem to have 'true' cherry profile keys. And earlier ITT someone asked

Just to make sure, these pbts are cherry profile from vortex?

To which Ivan answered yes.

So what is a Vortex, cherry profile, keycap then? Because I wasn't aware Vortex manufactured Cherry profile keycaps, only their OEM profile keycaps (i.e Poker ii keyset) which sometimes people refer to as Cherry profile when it's not, it's taller than then Cherry profile that GMK has.

How much would be the total shipping fee to Canada? And is it recommended to have insurance or express on this?

[IvanIvanovich]

Right it's Cherry profile, in modern standard rows BBCDEE. Vortex have also offered these cap (most recently on massdrop), they got them from same factory so same same.
Apple set is modeled after AEK, if anything isn't quite right for current Apple stuff it can be adjusted for production. I don't use Apple stuff for very long time so Apple users will need to tell me.

I will ship anywhere in the world.
Shipping prices are generally:
$3 for 1 set US, $5 for 2 sets... +$2 for each additional sets.
$13 for 1 set to international, $17 for 2 set international... +$3 for each additional set.

Gotcha, the ones on Massdrop I thought were OEM because same design as Poker but I was wrong. Cool, this GB is more enticing now.

I am going to have to decline on this set Ivan. Sorry but I just don't like the \ and the tilde key being the same color as the alphas.  Just a personal preference.  Either way let me know about sorting parties.

But that is as the great keyboard maker intended!

[IvanIvanovich]

Actually... if I was going to fix anything about the keycap colorway on two tone sets, it would be the f keys. Why are 2/3 of them the wrong damn color anyway? Function keys ain't letters.

I have an odd idiosyncrasy with that.  For stock/vintage caps it doesn't bother me.  For aftermarket I like the same on all the perimeter keys.  The set of F keys in the mod color make no difference to me though.

Ordered Japanese set, finally have some new Japanese set.  I think it's time for me to buy a 87 keys board to put this on..

Would it be strange to order the Japanese set without knowing any Japanese?

Absolutely not!
Even when i do type in Japanese whatever thing i use still uses qwerty input so i just type it like, "a, ka, sa, ta, na.....etc"
maybe i should look into it cause that would cut down my keypress by at least half but i've never used the actual Japanese input in my life and seldom type in Japanese anyways

NOT AT ALL!

[blogpop]

Those are some nice sets!
So hard to decide between them, but I think I'll go with the Japanese layout.

[IvanIvanovich]

I would venture that most people that are interested in dual language sets don't speak the other language... just want for visual appeal since it look 'exotic'. Nothing wrong with that.

[echo0]

Order submitted for blank and apple sets.
Thanks...

[feizor]

Ivan, could you please confirm the dye sub colors for Russian and Hangul? To me it looks like Russian is orange and magenta, and Hangul is red and brown? Also the mods on the Hangul set look like a more reddish shade of grey compared to the other sets?

[iamtootallforthis]

The dyesub on these sets will hold up to being dyed with something like RIT or iDye Poly?

) I know Japanese and need to use it sometimes so I order this set.  I don't know any Russian, but I still want to find a Cherry Cyrillic set. 

[IvanIvanovich]

Russian is bright orange and pink, Hangul will be red and a kind of maroon/plum red combination.

Dyesub can hold when overdye caps with some color, but it depends on the color and etc how it will turn out. Results may vary.

any chance of another run of the irish set if theres enough interest?

[IvanIvanovich]

Maybe will rerun some older one again next time.

[BunnyLake]

ok well count me in a vote for that, i really want one of these sets but have my heart set on that one

[limitz]

What is the thickness of the caps? Are we talking Vortex PBT thickness, or IMSTO thickness?

[CommonCurt]

Maybe will rerun some older one again next time.

Hopefully the black on beige with the Win 95 logo, and  that orange Cyrillic set with the cherry win keys also 

[Synjin]

Will this be produced and ship in less time than the third round? Just curious since I am very interested in joining this as well, also, could I combine shipping together with my GMK purchase form you if the GB does go through?

[frosty]

What is the thickness of the caps? Are we talking Vortex PBT thickness, or IMSTO thickness?

Made by Vortex/iKBC so Vortex thickness. Not sure if +- 1mm difference between IMSTO or Vortex is even something I can notice but okay.

[P3TC0CK]

Are these designs set? I don't have a problem with the crescent moon and star  since it would be interesting to have, but would it be possible to change it for something non-religious? Also is it not possible to have Eastern Arabic numbers on them?

[IvanIvanovich]

I wanted to put Eastern Arabic on the numpad section, but none of the modern looking typeface fonts I could find had those characters. I'm not changing anything at this point.

Is Vortex PBT thick or thin?

[IvanIvanovich]

There are these same key (won't be lasered obviously)

Is it the same color as the set? Or are they just shape references?

I think these are just references but with different colors.

[IvanIvanovich]

Same keys all around, profile, thickness, colors (classic white/beige 2tone).

Alright I thought the mods were darker than your picture.

I'm getting an English/Russian set and I don't know Russian, if that helps! I just think it looks cool and would be a unique addition to my set. Plus these caps will be rare!  I love unique sets!

Ok Thanks.

Any chance on some color changes? I'd love to see the Hangul set in orange/dark grey. Or anything different.

[Ngt]

I'm sorry if that's a stupid question but will the space bar be made of PBT too? I understood (correct me if I'm wrong) that PBT space bar was kinda hard to make so that's why some boards come with full PBT set except the space bar which is ABS.

I can't find the post but IIRC he said there would be no change in color.

[IvanIvanovich]

Right, want to stick with what is started now. If it means not making MOQ then I will consider adding some other colors or styles.

[Vintage]

Hmm, fair enough.

[Sent]

Sorry if this has been answered (looked through the thread and didn't see it) but what color is the Japanese set?  Pink?  Red?  Something in between?  I can't quite tell.

I was wondering this too, it looks pink which is a put off for me.

[frosty]

Blanks got to me... ordered a set!

Sorry due to a bad formatting on my previous post, my first question might not have been seen.
