I know new legends are $45 but new molds are considerably more expensive and would be required for this. That being said I love scoops and am interested.

Scoops are when there's no raised part of the key, rather the curve of the keytop is more concave than the others. Original Cherry keys have scoops.

I like the way scoops hug my index fingers while they're resting on the home row.

But as danielucf said, don't know if SP would be willing to make new molds just for this.

I've spoken with SP about various ideas at different times. They qouted me $700-1200 per mold depending on complexity and size. As long as there is no technical reason preventing them to be made I don't see why not as long as funds can be raised. I would be more interested in having new molds made to replace thier heinous bottom row on DCS however. I think these 2 things really should be done if Cherry replica doubleshots are ever to be made. Would be nice to get that much closer instead of halfassing it.

jdcarpe · « **Reply #20 on:** Mon, 19 November 2012, 16:06:17 »

I like scoops.

I thought I read that new molds were about $4500 each. Maybe that was just for 7bit's spherical spacebar. But if there is enough interest, we can get it done. i3oilermaker did just that with the center stemmed stepped caps lock.

metalliqaz · « **Reply #21 on:** Mon, 19 November 2012, 16:07:35 »

I have scoops on my cherry caps and I hate them. Not enough of a difference for me to easily find the home keys. They are nice and smooth, though. I think my favorite is the center bump on old WYSE, which is even more noticeable than the more usual bar on the bottom of most modern keys. Of course I'd probably cave and buy a set of new scoops anyway, just to have them ready in case I learn to like them.

What you need to do is make a group buy for the scooped F and J keys, and split the tooling cost between all the participants.

Scoop all the sets!!

I'm worried if there is anything special or different involved with double shooting with a scoop key. If you look at the underside of Cherry F and J keys you can tell that the insert with the legend is different from any of their other double shots. But if SP says they can do it then I'd hope they realize the legend to fit inside it would also have to conform to the scoop shape.

jeroplane · « **Reply #47 on:** Mon, 19 November 2012, 20:34:43 »

I'm all in for supporting this, hopefully there's enough people so that the mold price can be shared reasonably... Great point about the Cherry Replica though - scoops will mean that those sets will be even closer to the original.

Yeah, what I meant was the tool would come in handy for when the Cherry Replica sets start to get made, so that they can include scoops too. Everyone who has original Cherry sets already has scoops

Yes because all of the past sets from SP have had the same legends (at least as far as the alphas go) - SP's standard font, which is also WYSE font. It's just a matter of making the different colour combinations to match.

I'll be honest with you, I don't think I've ever seen a set of Cherry DS's I'm interested in. Blasphemy I know. But I don't really see how they differ from the SP Valentine's set or the Filco stock caps besides being vintage. And I don't really like any of the color schemes. Unless those grey alpha-numerics with blue modifiers is a Cherry set.

Also, CPTBadAss, they feel different. You really have to experience it to see the difference. Whether you agree that they're better or not is up to you.

Now I'm curious. I'll have to look into it

Looks like he has a few that we can pick up if we needed to.

razorsharpgears · « **Reply #103 on:** Sun, 13 January 2013, 15:20:11 »

Oi! I want those F and J's! Hopefully he has more than one pair, if not you can have them CPT.

SmallFry · « **Reply #104 on:** Sun, 13 January 2013, 15:21:22 »

Just leave at least one of them for the project!

razorsharpgears · « **Reply #105 on:** Sun, 13 January 2013, 15:22:27 »

Seems like he only has one pair of F and J's, but one extra J.
By the way, are these PBT?

SmallFry · « **Reply #106 on:** Sun, 13 January 2013, 15:23:50 »

ABS, doubleshots are exclusively ABS (until Signature Plastics starts cranking out PBT Double Shots). They are also Cherry Profile, if that wasn't apparent already.

I don't really ever go onto DT so that explains why I didn't know. Thanks once again for the info. I'll have to think about it haha. Wish there was like a keycap set try like Mr. Interface's Switch Try...

You guys do realize that I have thousands of doubleshots and switches from disassembling dozens of new POS boards right? My basement is full of all sorts of stock.

And that thread hasn't been updated in forever... Disregard the stock and sold numbers.

How much would a full TKL-set cost?

The_Ed · « **Reply #116 on:** Mon, 14 January 2013, 03:42:13 »

I have full sets for sale right now. I have never offered TKL. "AKIMbO kits" (TKL with some relegendables) are sold out. You could always buy a full set and sell the numpad.

So which one of you is gonna buy that set of F and J scoops from the grab pile?

if this happens, I'd probably be in for RA 2.0, Klaxon, Toxic, WoB.

maybe Orange on grey to match my GH keys?

Max, I would throw in $10 with my order to help with the mold costs. But I'd be way more comfortable with $5.

CPTBadAss · « **Reply #132 on:** Thu, 30 May 2013, 22:48:50 »

Oh, if it's per set I'd prefer to pay $5 max then. Be more comfortable with $2-3 since I think I'll be ordering multiple sets. A little unclear as to how many colorways are going to be offered though. If there are multiple colorways to match multiple sets, then it'd be better if the added cost per set was lower. If there's only one color way, then I'd be happy to pay $5.

SmallFry · « **Reply #133 on:** Thu, 30 May 2013, 22:49:09 »

Just FYI, I've found that Melissa has scoops onsite from their G81-3000 caps that they sell. We don't need to send her one after all.

Gotcha. Well I know personally I've got three keycap sets that I'd like to have scoops to go with. And I'm sure there's other people out there who would order multiple sets and not just a single one.

Thanks. I'll PM her about that tomorrow. Though I don't imagine that they'll want to pull one or two caps from a set they can sell. Might still have to send some. I have a lead on that anyway.

I've still got an F sitting here also, if that lead doesn't come through.

Mmh Double Scoops.

hashbaz · « **Reply #139 on:** Fri, 31 May 2013, 00:05:50 »

Not sure if I'm understanding this right ... the prices in the OP are just for the keys, right? And you're asking how much extra would I be willing to pay towards making the scoop molds?

I think my desire for scooped keys tops out at about $30 total (however much that breaks down to per set).

The_Ed · « **Reply #140 on:** Fri, 31 May 2013, 01:14:26 »

Lasered scoops are slightly different than DS scoops if I remember correctly, and if they make a mold from lasered keys they would likely have to sand down the lasered infill (and thus destroy the keys).

TheQsanity · « **Reply #141 on:** Fri, 05 July 2013, 14:48:24 »

S & F scoops for SmallFry?

The_Ed · « **Reply #142 on:** Fri, 05 July 2013, 14:55:47 »

mashby · « **Reply #145 on:** Fri, 05 July 2013, 17:36:15 »

I'm about to take on a Group Buy for the Apple Command key, more here, and depending on how that goes, I might be inclined to pick this up. They are similar in nature given that they are expanding on sets already produced, but again, I'd want to complete the other GB first.

Shadovved · « **Reply #146 on:** Fri, 05 July 2013, 18:30:47 »

I have an abundance of excess scoops, if you guys need a sample just PM me or something.

I was quoted $2500 for a new mold. We only need the one.

BlueBär · « **Reply #153 on:** Tue, 23 July 2013, 14:58:55 »

Well if somebody (or split up under a few people) pays that amount beforehand and you split it up under all orders afterwards it's doable, 15$ + the cost of the caps themselves for 167 people. I would even pay 25$ for two scooped keys, and the molds can be used later in other GBs. It's worth it to me.

They're OK to me. I might support it but I prefer nipples. The scoops don't feel THAT much different from the normal profile and I often lose my place on the home row.

esoomenona · « **Reply #156 on:** Tue, 23 July 2013, 15:41:31 »

BlueBär · « **Reply #157 on:** Tue, 23 July 2013, 15:49:45 »

Maybe, if we don't get the 2500$ together we could raise a "scoop tax" on groupbuys, so if a groupbuy uses scooped keys a part of the cost of a kit of those goes back to the people who funded the molds? Only until the 2500$ are reached again. Just as an idea.
I personally don't know how scooped keys feel but I want some just for the rarity factor... Maybe with a bit of advertising this more people would get into it? Maybe also ask on DT if there's interest for this?
