Title: Dyesubs from KBC

20 RMB (3.2USD) a pop.

Who says SC2 keycaps are going to be extinct?

These are KBC keycap height, so it matches the profile for FILCO/Leopold/DUCKY etc.
But there's another person doing with what I believe to be Noppoo keycaps, basically Cherry Corp Profile, for about 30RMB a pop.

Omg thick dye subbed pbt keys. I'm glad that I was patient and didn't jump on that SP bandwagon,
not to mention the ridiculously expensive($350 USD) original Cherry dye subbed keys.

Based on the price of these a full set shouldn't cost that much.
The key profile looks identical to Cherry.

1 RMB is a nominal price used in the listing
If you translate the description, it reads that the keycaps are 30RMB each.

@imsto,

The other person selling dyesubs at Taobao says his process is slow, so he can only make so much at a time.
Is your dyesub process a mass production one?

That's a pretty nice PCB. I'm loving the white soldermask.

and the symmetric staggered layout.

I am definitely digging that White PCB, looks very clean and well laid out. I saw the groupbuy for Chameleon controllers over on deskthority (http://deskthority.net/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=1243) but it seems like they lost some hope due to price/uncertainty. Has there been any new developments as far as getting those in stock somewhere at a decent price?
I am currently torn since I can't decide which of the 3 controllers to look in to. Chameleon, Aikon, or Teensy. All apparently can handle NKRO and are USB based, all can handle led's. But programming them all have their own methods. I do have backing in C so I could probably handle actually writing the code for the teensy, but the others are also well praised.

imsto, which factory is making PCBs for you?  For our Phantom keyboard PCB project, we are planning on using pcbwing.com.  We are looking for cheaper alternatives.

Title: Dyesubs from KBC
Post by: imsto on Tue, 15 November 2011, 03:37:18

a small factory here... making pcb in China should be more cheaper than in US I think.

That NERV one looks awesome, although I think there was a doubleshot NERV which I may or may not have missed out on. I'll go check.

if u want to make the pcbs in China I may give u the address, if they can do not understand English I may help too. but the shipping is not cheap  *_*
