Whoa... looks like a must have. Would be awesome dyesubbed with Cherry replica legends. Interesting to see thick caps with both sharp and rounded edges too.

Lysol this is what I was saying when I sent you the PM, once when when your GB is delivered you should open 2nd one because I believe there are lots of people such as I who missed your first GB.... 2nd group by add the retro version with  grey and pebble colors ( thats how Unicomp calls them).

Also RGBY + Red Esc key with Cherry replicas offcourse as an add on extra  option, men that would be one sick GB.....

Not if Lysol starts his 2nd group buy pretty soon and have RGBY with Cherry legends, right Lysol??????????????

Post by: tsangan on Wed, 09 January 2013, 08:21:28
and how is lysol going to get this from vortex?

whenever people ask for product they just like to link to Facebook and then tells people to wait

I'm just like every other person on here and would love to get my hands on it but vortex as a company has disappointed everyone quite a few times now

vortex advertised those PBT dyesubs a year ago, feng just got these

vortex aluminum case advertised 9 months ago, it was just release like a month ago

vortex tenkeyless keyboard with aluminum case, advertised 9 months ago I don't think it's out yet

so from past experience with their products, when they release a picture it takes quite while before you get it

they really do have some awesome products, but a lot of the times it feels like we're just looking at pictures of stuff we can't buy, quite unfortunate

Aye. I agree.

See if I can get them through imsto keycap source so we don't have to wait for vaportex to release them with a hideous font, as something totally different or not at all.

shouldnt be hard to do this with the same company that currently are producing ur GB?  You already have the legends from cherry figured out, and every set comes with the modifiers, they just need the RGBY color for them, that should be easy production, just different plastic colors.

The first idea Jumped out when i see this is that these are made by keycool. Keycool right now do have rgb sets with front print, side print and non print.
I don't think they are made by vortex. The surface of it is exactly what regular PBT keys made by keycool are like, little shiny + frosted/dull polish.
I can bring up more images if anyone wants them. And if I have a chance to go back home, I can bring in a lot from china.

Will have some pricing and moq soon from imsto and will see about getting a groupbuy together.

shouldnt be problem, i believe people do shop from taobao and they live in US, should be same as shopping on ebay from a seller that lives in China or anywhere in the world.

Not sure, I have seen regular PBT by keycool and they are as thick as cherry PBT, may be just a little thinner and of course the touch feeling is not as great as cherry PBT.

Black legends?...... FUUUUUUUUU.

I guess I have to move on to black legend keys to take advantage of some of the PBT keysets.

Vortex dude posted on FB they will be Dyesublimated, hopefully legends will match on their thick PBTm 104 sets italic font.He posted that release date of the RGBY should be Q1 2013

here we go! from left to right is Keycool PBT, Imsto PBT and cherry DS
i have asked keycool's boss directly. he told me that all the pbt keys they produce is from the same model so i think it is ok to pick a regular pbt key instead of the actually RGBY set. otherwise i have to call some overseas to take photos  :p

So hear from imsto, 1500 sets moq... :rolleyes: but only $16/set. I don't think groupbuy is a possibility to reach that large of order.

Looks like S&H is $5 from china. Really not that bad at all, especially considering they'll even take pictures for an extra dollar.
