Make sure that you scroll down the entire page for great photos of all combinations.

But, are they PBT?

Perhaps Qtang can get these.

OH LORD JESUS PLEASE YES. Google page translation isn't work well enough for me, which one is the all-white?! How much is it?

EDIT: Is one of those options a custom color scheme? IMSTO never responds to me. I need to know!!!
Title: Re: Poker2 and Pure Pro Keycaps... WOW!!!
Post by: therecorder on Sun, 28 July 2013, 12:06:15
Last one, which is 170 Yuan, which is about $25-$30 (+ about 10.4 % for Qtang's fees + shipping).  But perhaps Qtang will stock these.  Someone should send him a PM or email, or ask on his Geekhack forum.

So we can't order directly from the site if we are in the US? We have to go through Qtan?

Yes, or another agent.  You can only order from China.  But, Qtang does a great job with such orders, and his fee of 7% + 3.4% for PayPal fees is about as cheap as you're going to find...  Same with his shipping costs (and very speedy delivery).

What's also nice here is that this Poker2 seems to have a white case.

I sent him an email too. These things are just sexy as all-get-out (whatever that means). Hopefully I'll be able to get a set of the standard white from him. Maybe even two.

So I guess that means the dyed colors won't last that long.

It would be nice if they were thick, but at the price I don't think it would keep me from buying a set if they werent.

EDIT: Hard to tell from the pics, but they look like they are a 'medium' thickness. Not thin, not thick.

I'm going to dye mine. I've decided that these are cheap enough to take the risk. If it doesn't work, I can always fall back to my stock set (which are actually pretty nice to begin with).

If I end up with keycaps for a poker 2, then I will put them on that board.  The real issue is explaining to my girlfriend why I needed another keyboard.


For the same reason that she needs to pay 90 dollars on tinted moisturizer.  imsoscrewedlol



[addendum:  I ordered what I wanted, but the vendio website just states "poker 2 keycaps"  since the original website points to both poker 2 and pure pro keycaps]

You are correct...  Then you wouud have to add in Qtang's Agent fee and PayPal fee.  This was 7% + 3.4%, but may have changed a bit.  There would also be shipping costs.  (Your choice should be about $30-$35 + shipping.)

Post by: qtan5370 on Wed, 31 July 2013, 22:48:32
the price just a guide line...

I would be asking about 55 dollar for individual dollar, although the seller in Tao Bao ask about 175-245 RMB. In fact, all color set are 219 or above, plus about 10 RMB shipping giving is about 229- 255, give about 38-41 dollars , 58 dollar with standard shipping is good price in general.

Right now it might still be 55 + shipping, I will remove the shipping later today.

Should I wait?

Post by: qtan5370 on Thu, 01 August 2013, 00:24:15
yes, you should wait untill I have the full item set up (the store display when I am working anyway), set it quickly just let you guys know that I will pick it up..

since only 2 dollar different all type between colors, I would just set them all them same. a little problem is the shipping, I am adding it to the item with free shipping, people buying more than one set will have to pay more than they should.  So if you ordering more than 3 set, I think the best way is just contact me and ask for refund.

The price should be correctly set to 58 dollar shipped by airmail, variation also should work correctly. The only problem is I wasn't give right to use the picture so I have to put a link there. Although it is rare thing among....

Oh snap, Awwwnnn shiiieeetttt, Qtan's in da house!

Hey bro, by any means are you going to make some Black sets? like i mean Black and Red would totally kill on my poker II. Also, would you do custom stuff like Card Symbols keys for CTRL and ALT on Poker II? (Set of 4 keys)

That would be awesome thanks.

Looking forward doing business with you. Fairly easy, you make keycaps i throw money at my screen. Deal?

Did RF sell out already?

When I pick a color, is my only choice to get all the key caps the same color or are their options to get the mods as a different color than the rest of the keys in a set?

RF looks like a combination of dark blue and grey on the website.

It's also not listed on the vendio site on the drop down list under the poker 2.

It is only listed under the pure pro.

Can I buy it from your site for the poker 2?

if we want to get a different color mod set, do we need to buy those separately? or do the colors correspond to the images with the different mods?

Does anyone know if these are pad printed like the stock poker 2 keycaps or are they lasered/dye-subbed?

I am relatively sure they are pad printed.

I think it's lasered, it's not smooth like dye sub, but unlike pad print which has marks around legends. I already has a set on hand, white set. It's thin, just like the nyan cat set.

The stock keys of  poker 2 is lasered and ink fillings if I m not wrong.

Post by: Kaysa on Sun, 11 August 2013, 06:10:09
The stock poker 2 is not smooth since the legends fillings are higher than the key top...
But the white pbt is not as smooth as I tot it would be neither... and the spacebar is a bit warpped.
Thickness different isn't that obvious to me on the typing experience since I put o-rings on keys.
Since I have kaiserrich leds modded it foe me, the white seems nicer in my opinion.

I removed the link and added the picture for each one.

Basically, the caps is PBT plus thick,black on white Laser lettering and then dye to colors, like the rainbow caps I have been sold for a while.

Also, it come with the box of holding the caps. I think that enough....

Qtan is having delivery issues because of flooding. It might delay things a week or so.

Gotcha.  I received an email late last evening that my caps were shipped.  As soon as I get them I will post pictures.

In the meantime, here's a picture of some red caps

Got mine recently. Wanted two-tone white alphas with light purple modifiers, but I apparently did not specify well and got all light purple. The color is not intrinsic to the plastic -- it is achieved by dyeing white caps. Looks like an amateur Rit job. Color was uneven. Altogether disappointing.

Sorry. Just bagged them and put them in a drawer. Didn't take pics. However, I can say that the pics of the caps on the TaoBao site look much better than the caps look in real life. Forgot to mention that in addition to the color issues, the spacebar was warped. I would recommend a pass on this one. Better to invest in a higher quality dye sub PBT set or doubleshot ABS set, IMO.

I found it via USPS.  I remember when I ordered last from qtan I tracked it that way.

When they get here, they get here.  I will be taking pictures and comparing the caps on a pure pro to the stock keys.  I believe they are regular pbt.


I ordered the deep blue set

Is it still possible to get these keycaps from Qtan? I just ordered a pure pro on massdrop and would really love these keycaps since it is SOOO hard to find ones that fit the pure pro layout. Does anyone know any other pure pro keycaps?

But mainly, id like to order a couple sets of these if possible. Ty!

Dropping an update on these caps (for people that are either waiting to receive or will be placing orders)

They shipped out on August 19th.  For my parcel, they were held at Customs until September 3rd.  Between both dates, there were no updates to the tracking page (USPS).  I wanted to leave this since people might wonder what the hold up is (or if they are lost) so not to worry, they will get to you.


And as promised, I will have pictures for everyone once mine arrive (on a pure pro)

thanks!

Hey all.

Just received the package today.  Sadly, I don't have the pure pro with me this week!  I did however snap a few quick pictures to show you a little more about the keys.

You can't really see it but there is a mark on the function key.  Honestly, it's worth what I paid for it.  The print on the keys is a little light for my taste, but overall they're worth the 60 bucks.

What do you think?

Awsome set, makes me hopeful that someone will start selling sets with ISO modifiers... I love my Pure Pro ISO, but a 4.5 space bar + iso is a sure recipe for no custom sets (YET). Any thoughts ?

My set of green keycaps for my Poker just came in today, so I snapped a couple pics real quick. Mostly to show the uneven coloring and spacebar. Since this is my first set of dyed keycaps, I don't really know if the lighter marks are due to scratching or from uneven dying. I tried scratching the keycaps myself with no real changes in color.

(http://i.imgur.com/UsQaczD.jpg)

(http://i.imgur.com/a6TQkPD.jpg)

The uneven coloring is visible on 7 of the keys, including the spacebar. The color itself is just okay in my opinion, doesn't really look that rich to me. I haven't had a chance to put them on my Poker 2 yet since it's at work. Overall, I guess I'm satisfied but a bit disappointed. They definitely looked more amazing in the pictures on TaoBao. But who knows, maybe they will look better when I actually put them on a keyboard.

Your assessment agrees with mine. I was very disappointed. This was obviously a dye job, and it was not done well. The color was uneven, and in my set, the spacebar was warped. Better to spend more to get a good set of dye-sub thick PBT keycaps.

Actually, the green set appears to be pretty much the same in terms of color. The only difference in my eyes is the lighting, which in the advertisement is organized to make the keys look as nice as they can manage.
