Hello all. Lysol has said that he is willing to add more options to the existing groupbuy for THICK PBT Cherry Profile Keycaps. These are very nice quality keys at an amazing price but what is killing the deal is the current MOQ. The existing thread is at http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=31861.0 in case you would like to look at the current options (and the new updated pictures!)
Currently dyesub 104 key ANSI sets are $75 USD. If you are interested in the keys but not interested in the current options or would buy a second set if there was another option available please leave it for us to know! I've made a form for you guys to fill out and thanks!
FILL ME OUT!!!! (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dFlXWl94S3B4S0pMR0d3RXhSUVZzR0E6MQ)
Current interest excluding specifics about grey modifiers:
Unknown - US set black,red. Would buy with grey only. (*assuming modifiers and not full set*)
Dianoda - Orange/blue mix posted in thread in US layout
Rail - US red/black . Japanese or Chinese language choice.
Hyde - US Red
AHN SANG SIN - US Red, Black, Green. Korean language choice.
Singaporean123 - US Red, Black, Green.
pasph - US Green, purple.
biochem - US Black
Acetrack - none (currently available!)
SurgeonKyle - US Red, Black, Green.
leesofi - US Green
US SET COLOR TOTALS:
Red - 7
Black - 5
Green - 5
Purple - 1
Orange/blue mix - 1
Other language options:
Japanese - 1
Chinese - 1
Korean - 1
I am purposefully leaving out interest in grey sets because currently they are only available as full sets. This means if you want grey modifiers you will have to buy a full grey set to compliment your beige set. To get them at a great price like the beige that might require another groupbuy.
As of Nov 16th 2012 the first round of this group buy is done.
Yes the buy is moving into production phase in few days, so no more option will be added. This thread can be kept for interest check for second round, to be done sometime next year. Or if someone else want to run another buy, you can feel free to step up and do it before me.

This is why they only let seasoned GB organizers do this stuff =(. I apologize guys. Just trying to help people out. Will fix.

How about something crazy like this? I know I'd buy it :). Would look nice w/ grey modifiers, too.

The sets are pretty cheap for such delicious thick PBT. Perhaps you would be interested in purchasing a set and not using the tenkey keys?
Also red US is looking more popular. 30 and Lysol will consider the addition!

Feel free to get creative folks, mock up like Dianoda is great as it helps people get thinking about ideas. Also if you want sets in other type of font feel free to suggest. I don't care if you want it in comic sans or ancient Phoenician, if there is interest it can be done. Just keep in mind to focus on being on white keybase since hitting the moq for that is what this is all about.
Thanks for support and to everyone hard work trying to make this buy happen and a success.

I filled out the form, but I don't know if this thread is still alive. My suggestion was Black/red or black/blue with Chinese as the secondary color + grey modifiers.
-
Hey any chance of a pure black blank?
-
Unfortunately, the primary focus of this buy is to keep the keycap white. Originally, the MOQ was 300 and it was assumed the same for each new keycap color.
But since then, it was changed and we were told they were ready to start production. I think it might be slightly late to add other color options, especially since the idea of grey modifiers were turned down already. Might need a new GB for that.
-
The why did the form have the option for other colors? Or are those colors for the legends?
