Would these be the test caps before you got it right?
The translucent ones look great. Will likely be buying some of those.
abs
double shots = abs ? if you think about it the legend will NEVER wear off a ds key...
You will mainly notice the nice texture sp puts on their abs. As well as abs' ability to attract oil/shine. So keep your hands uber-clean!
What pbt keys in particular? sp pbt isn't trextured at least not on my portal set. they are like silky smooth. But i have seen textured pbt just do not own any...
Does anyone know if PS use the same keycap layout as WASD (Row 4 being the F1-12 keys and Row 1 being the bottom row and arrows)?

You can actually wear through the legends on a doubleshot keyboard. I saw a picture of one from a medical transcriptionist (I believe) with ALPS that had holes in the keycaps. I haven't seen anything like his on even a heavily used IBM (Dyesub PBT).
So, if you think about it again, the legend can wear off a doubleshot keycap.
I was reminded of this:Show Image(http://craphound.com/images/meltedboard.jpg)
That one took 8.5 years of medical transcription though.

the difference in profile is a very noticable drop, I recommend a full profile switch UNLESS you're just doing a F row or something...
Left 2 Right; Filco/OEM , SP DCS , OG CherryShow Image(http://cdn.overclock.net/2/23/600x156px-LL-231fecab_Filco-SPDCS-Cherry.jpeg)
SP's FAQ page (http://keycapsdirect.com/faq.php) has a diagram showing their row numbering system. DCS is the family we typically use around here, which is close to Cherry profile.
Both dyesubs and doubleshots have legends that don't wear off. The wins for doubleshots are the sharpness and contrast of their legends (dyesub legends must be darker than the key material). The wins for dyesubs are the feel of the keys (generally preferred by most vs. ABS keys), the intricacy of printable images and number of colors available, and the fact that they don't lose their texture or get shiny like ABS keys do.
They are very close in most instances, I believe Cherry is just a bit lower generally (someone correct me out I'm wrong). The biggest difference by far is the bottom row. SP bottom row keys are noticeably more angular than Cherry.
Both, actually. :)
The two bottom-most rows (the Z row and the spacebar row) have the same profile.
I'm surprised they didn't do this a long time ago really. Now if they are smart they will do some 'limited edition' sets in different colors every few months.
Okay. I bought a Cherry black on white set and a moogle kit. I need numpad keys. I essentially need a 2x 0 key and a 2x + key. Will something from here match my set?
Got them today!Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/CejbF.jpg)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/zYoUC.jpg)

Let's get one going. I want transparent blues
I emailed SP and this is what I get. Anyone interested?
Thank you for your request! At this time we are not offering bulk discounts
on our inventory quantity, however we would be happy to place a production
order for anything listed on the website (this just means that keys won't
ship immediately).
Pricing for the colored translucent keycaps is per color and per row - i.e.
you can't combine red row 2 keys and red row 3 keys to get the same price.
Discounts start after 100 pcs - Pricing is below:
100 keys $1.06 each
150 keys $0.89 each
200 keys $0.72 each
250 keys $0.63 each
500 keys $0.58 each
Pricing does not include shipping costs. Manufacturing lead time would be
around 1 weeks from receipt of payment.
We have currently only molded these in 1 space size keys but would be happy
to mold them in other sizes if you need - to quote this I would need to know
the size of modifiers you are looking for.
Let me know if you need anything else!
That's what happens when you're a member in this forumOi, seriously. If you add in my other forums, it becomes a nightmare. I need to slow down a bit lol.
