I look at stuff on OTD and feel geekhack is so far behind :-(

Wow those are pretty sweet. Probably costs a pretty penny.

Well some people got some of those keycaps in the SP crapbags... I think that's as close as we'll get. Would love one of those Fkeyless 10keyless...

Wait are we talking custom keyboards or keycaps? Or both. Anyway I love that red one at the bottom. I don't even really like red but that thing is sweet.

I was implying the keyboards more than the keys. But both are sexy. Did all these keys come from SP? or do the koreans have a secret :tongue1:

I thought you meant the keyboards. Are the top ones the retro set? They look very nice.

I know you were more interested in the boards... But yeah, it's all SP keys except on the Poker like mini, which are Cherry. I was mostly joking about how hard it is to get them outside Korea and we can only manage leftover keycaps from crapbags.

huh? I thought we are having Phantom group buy? What do you mean why we still don't have those? But if you wonder why it takes us that long then I would tell you that there is something about Korean culture that they tend to be able to stick together and work their way out with things. Think Samsung, LG, Hyundai, gaming industry etc etc.

I'm with you. Guess I should have got in on the phantom group buy.

As for the keys I'd love to see some group buys for a couple of those sets.

Isn't that last keycap set the Red Alert set from Deskthority or the set that inspired them to do that group buy?
Is Red Alert being done by SP? I didn't think it was.

I wish I would have been around for that. They look amazing. Hopefully there is a second one done sometime.

Yep.

"Red Alert is the third project realized by me [sixty] and Uranium from OTD.kr"

But did they have SP do it?

The Phantom project is fantastic and useful, but it lacks the sex appeal of these boards.  I looooove the racing stripe on the blue board at the top.  These have a real custom feel to them, whereas most Phantom owners I think will end up using a Filco or PLU case.

Well, we can thank litster for a limited run of 100% original Phantoms.  Looking forward to seeing pics of those.

then you are not talking about the actual keyboard component anymore but more of the custom casing. I suspect that is what OP ultimately was drooling on. We can still wait and see what vortex has up their sleeves for the alum casing.

Well, personally I'm trying to get to 99% Asian, but I'm stuck at around 12.5%.  And, I'm no psychologist, but isn't your philosophy called schadenfreude?
