Title: Rainbow 37 key set
Post by: Son of Gnome on Mon, 28 November 2011, 22:42:02
Hey guys I have seen that there were rainbow 37 key sets made or ordered and I would like to get one. I want it to be printed not engraved and would prefer it to be non ninja. Thanks!

I just recently bought this. But it's non lettered.

I've seen quite a few on Taobao with options of "Top/Side/Engraved/No-Print".

IIRC those keys don't come printed, only engraved/blank

I've seen it. Though it meant engraved or something. == I'm actually chinese. My proficiency in chinese is so bad tho.

English > Japanese > Chinese...

The pictures look like they're dyesub/etched.

These terminologies are suitable for Taobao hunting. Taiwanese uses slightly different terms

有刻 - Printed
侧刻 - Ninja
同刻 - Engraved
无刻 - Blanks

ahhh I read 有刻 is "has engrave" literally, so assumed engraved...

Silly Taiwanese.

What I was trying to say was, the Taiwan side has slightly different terminologies compared to the Mainland.
Though I cannot find any proof to support this. The only thing I remember was Ducky confusing everyone with their 同刻 ABS keycaps which are just Pad printed Black on Black keys.

Otherwise, the translation I mentioned just now, works.

I'm from Hong Kong. We use traditional characters too = /.

But yeah, I get your point.

So I hope OP gets what he's looking for. We should stop this discussion.

http://taobaofieldguide.com/taobao-buying-agents/obook-taobao-agent <-- Obook is good, everything is done via email, you pay with CC and if the item is not in stock they will refund your money. The 2 agents I was dealing with once had pretty good English skills too.

http://www.taobaobee.com/ <---- another good agent, but you have to deposit money into their website, if the item is not in stock they will refund you the money but it's still stuck on their website
