Title: other custom keysets by signature plastics?
Post by: wanabe on Sat, 19 February 2011, 17:41:30

besides GH doubleshots round 1 & 3, what other sets of keys has signature plastics made?  I'm interested in seeing what else has been done because I'd like to see another key group buy happen.  I'm in round 3, but I'm not a huge fan of the giant key fonts.

going even further, are there other companies out there capable and willing to do this?

maybe this thread can serve as some sort of inspiration. if not, then I'm just curious to see some other interesting key sets are out there

A bunch of us are real excited that KBC in Korea it supposed to come out with some thick double shots and dye sub keys. That will likely be the next group buy, and much better quality than SP. At least that's what I'm hoping for.

No clue. Does it matter?

Just kidding. They came out with a keyboard that's all the rage called the "PokeHer". Supposedly it's "the keyboard to cheer you up (http://bbs.kbc-china.com/)". Likely as a result of the girl it comes with.

How 'bout that HHKB3? Also, you CAN find the TrulyErgonomic for sale on Taobao. Not exactly a bargain at >$400 though.

I'm surprised that more people don't just scrounge up original cherry corp. double shots in black. Not hard to find or expensive, and better quality than SP.

Well, they're generally used and getting full sized right shift and proper ANSI enter is generally harder and more expensive.
