Title: X%&#! esc key
Post by: gimpster on Sun, 08 April 2012, 12:01:45

I saw this key in elton5354's thread, but just barely missed being able to snag it. Looking to see if anyone else has one they're willing to part with. I'm open to different colors and key profiles as well, just want one to say that. :) I stole the pic from elton5354 as well and cropped it so you guys can see what I'm talking about.

You can get one from here (http://www.pimpmykeyboard.com/) for a buck fifty (not including shipping).  And yes, it has Cherry MX stem... I just checked.

I think reaper's pic is of the one from that site and it looks like a doubleshot.

Do all the keys from pmk.com have stems? About to place an order, but just wanted to check.

Post by: elton5354 on Sun, 08 April 2012, 23:47:53

Not all of them. I think only this one and the Panic one has.


EDIT: actually I think only this one has a Cherry MX stem

Email from Melissa when i ordered.

The only keycap that is MX compatible is the X%#! keycap. To make the others MX compatible would cost $98 per keycap. Please let me know how you would like to proceed with the keys you have on order.
Thank you-
Melissa

You're welcome and like ripster said, that red Panic key also has Cherry MX stem...  unless they change them recently.

^ You're welcome feng and here's a picture of it for any non-believers out there (one on the far left is the Panic key).

Picnic!!  

Sorry, reaper

What about the other key "MORE BEER", "BEER BREAK" are they mx compatible?

Title: X%&#! esc key
Post by: reaper on Mon, 09 April 2012, 10:04:40

Nope, they are not.  You can mod them yourself though.  Ripster has a guide somewhere.

I got the same email Elton did.

The only keycaps on this website that are Cherry MX Compatible are the PANIC, X%#&! and the Purple OOPS keycap.

Shame, as there are plenty of caps that I would've ordered hda they had stems.

Title: X%&#! esc key
Post by: Wildcard on Mon, 09 April 2012, 14:44:49

Besides the fact these two caps (panic and X%&#!) are MX compatible it is important to point out that these caps are rather tall and will stick up a bit. I will take a few pictures tonight.

I've update from pimp. now they're have 3 key that compatible with cherry mx.

Post by: reaper on Tue, 10 April 2012, 11:29:58

Very cool.  Thanks for the heads up.  IMO, they should've made the entire collection Cherry MX compatible but that's just me. =P

Post by: net2522 on Tue, 10 April 2012, 11:37:53

Already asked them. $98/each key-----(each!!!) If more than 100 keys you can ask for discount

:(

Title: X%&#! esc key
Post by: feng on Wed, 11 April 2012, 00:12:42

Just placed my order, some red panic, X%&#!, and purple oops. Plus one yellow smile face. There're some other interesting keycaps in this site, but sad they aren't MX compatible. :(
