This is what I understand from the translation.
GMK ****ed up the profile of the new rgb, the blue alt is the old profile in comparison.
EDIT: Found out that this is the sample they got and they are going to change it into the profile we are used to see these in.

DS=doubleshot in this case, right? Or are those dyesub?
-
doubleshots
-
oops.
-
So the taller ones are the "mistake"? Honestly, I like them. It seems they'd be the same height as the bottom row of the black on beige set I have, and they'd match well with the legends matching.
-
Lysol has a better description of this somewhere, but I cannot find it
Originally Control/Alt row had its own profile, which is what the mistake keys have here.
Later cherry switched so that Control/Alt used the same profile as zxcv row, which is what we are all used to and expect to receive
Now it will be interesting to see what GMK does for Customer Service to fix this as you could argue that it is not their fault.....
-
Interesting
-
And the many problems with dealing with people who are 'new' to this kind of scene begin!
Don't see it as a problem though, if the people ordering didn't specify you can't blame them GMK..
-
Live and learn. I hope it was a prototype so they didn't produce 500 or whatever the MOQ is for GMK.
-
I just talked to the kbd guys and it's only a sample. They will try to fix the profile to the one we are used to.
-
Ahh thank goodness for samples
-
[size=78%]Below is the exact post by Lysol. just pasted here for reference:[/size]
You have old Cherry A profile modifier, which was dropped a LONG time ago. Now bottom row is B profile same as shift row. (http://www.cherrycorp.com/english/switches/key/images/mx_keydim_cyl.gif)

Well, its good that they have samples. Just gotta be patient since this isn't Melissa, and she isn't here to fix all our boo boos. :P Gotta give her props, she takes a LOT of crap from us/KBDMania/OTD/DT etc.
-
I wish I could get ahold of that sample.

might be an idea to change the title then ;)
-
Title changed =)
-
If anything, I'd love the lower profile ones to better fit the white on black DS set.
-
same here
btw nice avatar
-
GIMME!
-
That ABS blue color is nice!
I don't think I'd mind the profiles that much unless I'm using zxcv profile 1x winkeys :)
-
Mmmm pretty keycaps are pretty. Posting to mostly lurk and post cats.
By the way, did Cherry ever produce rgb with white legends?
-
Actually, I'd prefer a set of the messed up profile ones since they match up with the Dolch and Black DS better
-
Match up profile wise?
-
The ones with A profile would be more authentic technically. I would guess they send a picture of original RGB which are A profile control and alt and say we want this, so GMK gave them what they saw.
I've never seen Cherry RGB with white. Dyesub is most common, but there have been some sightings of doubleshots also with black legend.
Dolch is B profile bottom row, I have also never seen a black set with A profile either. B profile is by far more common on anything that is not beige.
-
Chaos has sold the DS black on RGB doubleshots IIRC. He asked something crazy like $400.
-
Match up profile wise?
Yup! Exactly what lysol said. I'd be interested in a set of DS RGB in B profile to match Dolch and Black DS. For winkeyless keyboards, it's not a big deal. But when I use the DESKO RGB's on a keyboard that is 1.5/1/1.5, the 1-unit key never matches up if I use Dolch or Black doubleshots...
-
Yeah 1 unit A profile Windows or blank key is a real pain to locate... though I have some. B profile is much more pleasant to type on anyway.
-
Not the Aaaaaaaaa profile !!
i actually was afraid that this could happen, since original cherry ds equipment was mentioned..
good it's just prototypes
-
Do people actually like the black on dark RGBs? :eek:
-
Well, people seem to like dye subbed RGB's which have black legends, so I'd say that people will like these also. :)

I have no idea why I get you and theprofofist(?) mixed up all the time!
I just feel that the colours look a tad bit dull :/
-
I'm not sure why either. The colors look alright to me,maybe its your monitor or the photo not being properly balanced. I'm not exactly sure. It could also be personal preference:)
-
Genuine Cherry RGB PBT's are black dyesubbed ;D
-
Doubleshots are also genuine and way more far between. xD
-

I am only wondering because I think RGBs would look great on sets with white legends, but right now my RGBs with black legends look out of place.
-
Thats exactly what I think too.
You see, if you have a white on black cherry ds set and use a white on red cherry esc it looks amazing.
But when the table is turned around and you try a beige/white cherry set and use the white on red esc it looks crappy..
-
That's because they weren't meant to be on the same board :P
-
:O :D
-
ok, gotta ask, is this a group buy that I can still get in on, or just samples for a closed GB? I'd love to get a set of Cherry RGB doubleshots. *looks for the 'shut up and take my money' jpeg*
-
It is a GB going in the korean community, not here.
-
Is it going? I thought there was no GBs in Korean communities for a while.

GB or not, aren't the RGB at Originative these exact caps?

I don't know, I never saw the site...
-
You been afk for the last 2 days smallfriez?
-
I don't think originative has 1.5 version of RGB which is what was in the OP picture.
-
Sherry is selling both 1.5 and 1.25 versions. From the pictures they look like B profile keys
-
Ok, I only saw 1.25 version when I looked the other day.
-
I prefer the old A profile.
Get the short left shifts made!

On its way! I listened to lysol when it came to the Cherry profiling, and I am glad I did :)
-
What sherry, have you put an order for iso shifts?
-

+1
I want the "mistake" set, way more than that "correct" set. The original Cherry "A" profile was way better.
-
Didn't sherryton just have these in his store?
-
What sherry, have you put an order for iso shifts?
Very soon!

Some.ISO love. Now were talking :)
