Wow those look really great are they from some group buy or something?
-
It is (was) over at DT. Sixty ran it with someone in Korea. I am glad I got a set + the experimental set.
reaper, do you have an account over at OTD?

so jealous of whoever got these keycaps .... Crossing fingers that sixty has some extra sets to sell.
P.S - also give some of those OTD boards these keycaps are on
-
Hum, these keys on the front row will work for Phantom's PHANSI 1.5x layout :thumb:

Yes, I do.

I wish sixty would have brought this to geekhack as well :( We need a Korean connection!
-
The set has a lot of keys it will fit on basically any keyboard lol
I am dying for a set of these too ;(
-
I volunteer tsangan moving to Korea and be our Korean connection :kiss:

If you could not care less about red on white or red on black, then no, there is nothing special about them.

It is cool because South Koreans have them. It is the closest to a custom Korean keyboard that we can get. :-)

Roma was not built in 1 day. You are in the good track with the Phantom board congratulations

lol, to be honest, it is not because we lack of resources and skills to make custom keyboards comparable to the korean ones. It is mainly because of the fact that it is almost impossible for geekhack members to work together coherently to come up with something other than putting up SP orders. Its kind of a culture thing really (IMO). Koreans are known for being able to stick together and achieve a common goal as a nation.
That being said, good luck with the Phantom project. it sure is a big step forward.

We need Kim Jong Il

There is a new generation of GH guys with common goals and very motivated. This Phantom project is a good example

I am pretty sure the Red Alert set is made by SP. When I receive my Red Alert set, my keycaps will have traveled around the world and back:
SP in Washington -> South Korea -> Germany -> Back to Washington where I live.

Pay for 1/3 of my ticket each of you and I'm there, I would love to go to South Korea, been planning it for so long too. Not so much for keyboards but for their culture, but I can take time to figure out this whole keyboard ordeal for you guys when I'm there :thumb:
-
Just to mention : the bianco style from round 4 initially had a variant with white caps + red lettering. If you guys want it that much maybe it can be put back on rails ? Would be great.

After over 7 months, now they're ready to ship! Pics borrowed from sixty. :redface:

I know some of you saw this already over at DT (tsangan, DanGWang, etc). lol
-
Are you ready? :car:
-
Yes, mine is being shipped this week. :eyebrows:
-
I hate you :)

I hate you :)
Thank you. :grouphug:
On iSpy I keep thinking Command & Conquer.
I used to love that game (C&C). lol
-
I look forward to mine as well.
-
I'm very jealous of everyone getting these sets. Hopefully I can snipe a leftover :laser:
-
According to sixty's post, there are only a couple of sets left so they'll be gone really fast. Time to go F5 on DT. lol
-
Wow, I absolutely need this set... We need more key cap manufacturers in the US hardcore :/
-
Anyone have an estimate of what it would cost to do a single tkl set from SP of something like this. I know people have asked before.
-

Yep, got the spy running on DT. If I can't snag a leftover set, then I'll just have to wait for Rag's red alert GB, which should be identical to sixty's GB if im not mistaken.
-
That's what I'm wondering. I really like the legends and options of this set. I think rag said he was going to do it more standard. Does this set have gray modifiers?
-
The whole kit from sixty's gb came with the white AND grey mods.

Thats what I thought. At one point Rag said he wanted to do it all one color. Hopefully hes willing to budge on that.
-
Agreed... I'd rather have the grey mods than white. Perhaps it can be sold as an add-on kit to the base? Although it would be cheaper overall if the grey was included in the base kit. It would just depend on the interest for the grey mods.

I would like both, can't decide what I like better. But I need to stop looking at those pics on DT. This is probably my favorite set out there. Definitely need to get one some day.
-
Those are so amazing.
:jaw:
-
Why do the Koreans seem to get proper kerning and centering from Melissa?
They have a direct line to Melissa and we don't. :rain:
-
Lol I asked Melissa how much for one single TKL set. $750 she tells me *jawdroppingsmiley*
-
These look fkn hawt..
Mebbe I want these bad boys instead of just white PBT engraved. mmmm

Should be coming eventually but its gonna be a while. I wonder if Sixty would be willing to give us all the order info to give to SP. Not so sure.
-
Red alert vs imsto's red dye-sub PBT
Thin vs thick
ABS vs PBT
DS vs dye-sub
Not sure which one I would prefer :P
Just ill just have to see what I can get :nod:
-
I pick this one for sure. The contrast of the red and white is just too nice. But they are both great.
