Interest Check for Blank Black DCS Bottom Rows
[attachimg=1]
$10 per set at MOQ of 75 sets!
Is anyone else interested in sets of unprinted black bottom row keycaps in DCS ("low" or "Cherry") profile? Seven 1.25 R4 and one 6.25 universal spacebar? EK has them in OEM profile, and SP has them in other colors, but sets of blank black bottom rows would make so many things easier:
- Mixed sets
- 33-key or 51-key sets
- Cherry sets
- WYSE sets
- Other partial Moogles
- Annoying Windows keycap sets
- Poker and Poker 2 keycap replacement
- Race keycap replacement
- Anything with a printed spacebar
- Replacements for shiny bottom rows
- Finishing the bottom row when you bought Cherry mods from EK
At MOQ=75 sets, they are only $10.04 for raw plastic. I think First-Class postage would be under two dollars US and under three dollars international. So this would be the cheapest Moogle you could get.
So this Interest Check is for:
- Blank Black 1.25x R4 NN (Black) DCS modifer keycaps, probably in fixed-count sets
- Blank Black 6.25x R4 NN (Black) DCS universal spacebars
Shipped in a First-Class mailer anywhere in the world.
TL;DR Is anyone else interested in low-profile blank, black bottom rows? Two bucks per keycap, shipped!
Thanks for reading and (hopefully) responding!

Mine.

Any idea on the pricing of the sets? The shipping costs sound good.
What kind of plastic? Are these SP-made?
Count me as tentatively interested depending on price. :D
-

He says in the OP that they'll be from SP. And DCS is SP's profile. So they should be SP thin ABS.
-
I would be interested in a set or two, if only for modding.

Got pricing:
25 $20.66/set of 7
50 $12.71/set of 7
75 $10.04/set of 7
100 $8.74/set of 7
Et cetera.
Prices are for raw plastic, unsorted and before shipping to me or anything else.
That is a TEN DOLLAR MOOGLE, man!
Who is in?

I'm down for a few sets.

id take 2 or 3
-
I'd also be interested in 2 or 3.
I need some space bars to go with the new GMK mods. :D

i) Center-stemmed caps lock is missing.
ii) Ivan is contemplating a white-on-black moogle kit for the next GMK round, in which case we need to reach a high MOQ with that.
So I'll wait what Ivan is up to before committing to this.
-
Absolutely.
But why not make a full moogle set instead? Havent seen a groupbuy for that in ages.

Fast, small, not a full Moogle, and not Cherry (GMK), that is why. If a White on Black GMK Moogle comes down the pike, I will absolutely be buying, but it won't be ten bucks either. This is a different tier for different purposes. Not GMK, not Imsto, not OEM profile, not even double-shot. Just some blank black R4 keycaps in a lower profile than the ones EK sells today.

Also, center-stemmed caps lock keycaps are available from Techkeys.us now.

would buy a set, i'd recommend including a right shift too to make it work with 7000s and similar stuff.

Interested. Keep it simply like your original idea!

Very interested in this set, mainly because of the cheap intl shipping. :eek:

... bottom row keycaps in DCS ("low" or "Cherry") profile? ...
Just a little clarification for those (newbies and others) who did not already know:
The bottom row is where the DCS and Cherry profiles differ. DCS is more angled.
It looks good if you use only DCS keys on the bottom row and Cherry on the rows above, but if you use both DCS and Cherry keys on the bottom row, it will look weird.
-
I'd be interested, but it might be interesting to have them in black, white and grey.
-
Very interested in this, I have a couple sets where these keys would be really useful in filling gaps.
-
I'm in, seems silly not to at that price.
-
I would be interested in a dark beige color to match the WYSE set. User whiskytango is selling 44 WYSE sets so there should be a lot of people wanted cheap WYSE moogle sets.

I'm down for a set or 2
