I did. My OG Dolch caps aren't as nice as a brand new set, so with these, I won't feel as bad about using them... :/

Ordered!  Didn't think I would catch these since I haven't had time for GH lately, but thanks to the cc sale I've been checking the site frequently.  great timing, thanks sherry, and bazemk for the heads up! 

It's too bad the markup was so extreme relative to pre-order pricing, but oh well, my burgundy LZ-GH NEEDS these!

+1

I have QFR MX green on the way, but also Ivan's GB coming soon, plus 5 sets of Tai Hao.  Don't think I could get away with adding Dolch to the mix, although this is a nice set, at a reasonable price.

This is the sort of set that could be produced in small batches every few months, and they would still probably keep selling.

That makes some sense. The picture is just a little deceiving. I also got confirmation from Sherryton just now, so that's good.

Considering a year ago, the OG dolch sets went for $150+, it's not expensive at all.

I agree with The_Beast, from the few times I've queried Sherry he's said that he wouldn't be doing R2 for Dolch. These are likely to be leftovers from the first run.

that's what i thought, therefore sherry shouldn't have 400 sets on hand right now

why not?

400 is the minimum he can buy, that doesn't mean it's the minimum he bought. could have bought 500 and only sold 100 preorder. could have bought 600 and sold 400 preorders.

How long does it generally take for these doubleshots to shine? The inevitable shine is the only thing stopping me from buying these as opposed to a PBT Dyesub set.

Depends on your usage, how clean you keep your hands, also your body chemistry etc.

8 hours a day would probably make them shine pretty fast eh?

I've been using mine for 10 hours a day since I got them and the only shine I see is on the spacebar and it's not much.

I'm at my computer all the time.  No shine of wear here.  I'm also a LoL player so usually QWER and Spacebar shine the fastest.  Nothing.

You guys are killing me, now I want both classic beige and dolch, and I already have 7 sets of keycap on the way and I only have 2 cherry boards :O

Does sherry/originative/GMK sell thick PBT dyesub cherry profile keycaps?


As much as I want to try double shot ABS I hate keycaps getting shinny and I’m not the type of person that just put the keycaps on and admire them, I like to get rough :)

You can't dyesub lighter colors onto darker colors.  White legends aren't possible on PBT.

87keys with standard sets like any US ANSI set with 1.25mods and 6.25x spacebar.
Winkeyless is for 1.5x mods, off centered stepped capslock and 7x spacebar. The shop description has been since updated i guess.

87 key is just for stock Filco's etc with normal mods. The Winkey and Winkeyless kits are basically the bottom rows respectively for each setup.

I haven't been keeping up with this, but price seems almost as much as the later batches of preorder ($95?). Unless the preorders include all the extra add-on kits. So why are people complaining about the price? Am I missing something here?

Btw sherry, not sure if you shipped out all preorders yet, but I still haven't gotten mine.

Yes the sets were cheaper for the GB but this isn't a group buy, you're buying from a vendor. He's well within his rights to charge extra for them considering he's fronting up the cash for them.

I swear this conversation comes up every time a vendor lists GB keys in their store. He's not running a charity, of course he's going to charge more than the GB price.

There was no group buy.  I had already ordered it in last March.  I was real busy with other things, and I was trying to get the perfect color.  That's why it was delayed, so I did a pre order.  I still have some leftovers, but I just have to attend to all the current packages.  I can't handle any more Dolch orders for 1 person lol
