I guess full set, but only if you buy the keyboard

Something like this? Won't work if your connection to their servers is wrong though.

I'm calling Tai-Hao manufacturer for those.
-
Teasers are just that... not yet on my keyboard. :(

Is that who makes IMTO's thick PBTs as well?
-
Actually, when I think about it, I'm sure I've seen these pictures somewhere before... Well, whatever.
I think they do look nice and all, but the legend aren't as "sharp" (in terms of contrast) as I'd like them to be, or at least not compared to my Cherry, ABS, doubleshots. Also, there seems to be some inconsistencies in font thickness and sharpness, especially on the modifier keys.
Overall I'd say it looks very promising though. :> When these come in Cherry font and look as nice as Cherry's original sets, I'm done with keycaps. Maybe. Hopefully? Huh. o:

I think you meant imsto thick PBT's? imsto makes imsto PBT's :P
Too bad I'm not a big fan of that font, or else I'd be super duper stoked
-
The other thing about Tai-Hao is they are 'oem' profile, and the only ones making doubleshots in that as far as I am aware. So you loonies that like tall keycap can finally have some doubleshots too.
Not likely the same factory as the thick Cherry profile PBT.

I'm loving this but the font is awful. I'll still stick to Cherry ABS for now.

What's there not to love about the CTRL and ALT
-
Italicized font looks bad.
Plus the non-uniformity makes it even worst. I.e. ALT/CRTL not italicized like the rest of the board, fn row font is larger and centered on the keycap.

I just saw this too :)
They should at least get the molds right before production right?

Just noticed that. Made me chuckle. :D

The pink letters don't look very sharp to me.
-
Props to Vortex even though font is not the greatest.... but have anyone before actually made a full set of DS PBT's? I dont think so.... give them props, SP has only made the arrow keys.....
-
And a mod key set... I'm sure they're working on the rest too :)
-
Omg, looks cool! I have to work harder :)
update: I see the "less sharp" & "poor legend" in my home computer now :'(
-
I've gotta say:
FAIL.
They look less sharp than a quality lasered cap and the typography is a mess. Also, I'd not suggest "PU" as a key legend for English speakers, especially those with children :)
-
Didn't we already have a thread on this?
But ya. Vortex has really bad taste in font... Ugly font and uneven line thickness = no thanks.

Vortex first released pictures of their DS PBT black keycaps in late December. In spite of the font and irregularities, it's awesome.
-
For some reason they feel very cheap to me, dunno why. I'm sure it's great to type on.
-
Thick PBT doublet shot caps!!!
I strongly feel that they need to hire a decent designer.
The top row fonts are so out of place, not to mention the overall have cheap look.
