Nice!
Does it fit those taller Round 4 or Round 5 SPH caps?

Maybe it is better to buy out from Taiwan especially since I am in Asia. Otherwise the shipping will kill me too.

Let me point out there shipping on things like this is always high because it is in a bigger box and I believe they must use flat rate pricing.
These could be shipped for much less than that probably closer to $10-15 which I know is still high but these are as big as a keyboard, even though they don't weigh anything.
If there is a large interest perhaps we could do a mini group buy and ship them all together to be distrubted over there.
Whoa, 6 bux per ?! Getting one of the 104 sets (https://elitekeyboards.com/products.php?sub=access,cherrymxkeys) for $20 seems more reasonable -- they come in one of the containers.
I like the concept, but I wish they included the ability to include a tsangan set as well. :'(
This is the same as the one the coloured pad-printed sets came in?
We are getting key caps from group buy in a bag already. So keys scratching each other is already given and done. What's wrong with keeping them in the bags? They are not virgins anymore anyway!
I have bought fully functioning cherry MX keyboards for cheap. Perhaps I should use them to display keycap sets with.We are getting key caps from group buy in a bag already.

Just so you can display or look at the entire set.

I belive the term is 'piss-take'
I'm finding out right now that shipping light keyboard-sized items internationally is pretty miserable :(
For something only TKL sized you're paying for at least 1.5kg of freight even if your package is a fraction of that. Adding tracking makes it even worse.
how small does a keyboard need to be to not get hit with these ridiculous rates?Not sure how EK mails, but for USPS international it's the weight not the size usually. The minimum is something like $6.50 for 3 oz or less.
i think geekhack should start funding a new switch design lol; shipping is killing us all.

A TKL in a well packed box will be about 4 lbs.

That will make it kinda difficult to type on any new Topre keyboards that are made!

Necro-ing this thread. Anyone using this? How is it compared to Hot Keys (aka Gas Mask) acrylic case?Yep, I'm using one! It works okay. The "circles" meant to hold the caps in kind of get beat up after you switch out the caps maybe 3-4 times. After that the caps are just super loose and every time I open the thing, many keys just start flying. It's fine since it came with caps, but I don't think I'd buy one as a permanent case.Show Image(http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/11/01/f08b46f0e23da1e71f5fe4632eac3456.jpg)
Thanks bro.. Do you have a Topre board? Can this case support Topre caps? I had the impression the circle is just to loosely hold the caps. From your description, it's like it is a hard fit so I am thinking Topre might not work at all.
Shipping to United Kingdom $56 ???For three dollars less, you could buy one of these cases on eBay (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=59780.0) and get a Leopold thick PBT set FOR FREE. And that price includes shipping from Korea to anywhere in the world.
Does anyone know at all who is the Chinese OEM who makes such things? I bet these cost $0.50 at the factory with MOQ 1000, and if anyone from Singapore wants to organize a group buy like this I will happily buy 200 to help meet MOQ. Even if as some posters have noted the cases are not very sturdy, if price is low enough we can buy more and throw away the used cases after a couple years.
Elitekeyboards' pricing is just too sucky for now.

Something like this would be great to do at a KeyCon -- get a huge order together, and when everyone meets, divvy them up.

This doesn't work for those not CONUS of course, but I really encourage people to do their group buys at keycons. There should be a huge savings on postage, and not to mention, we get to crowdsource all that keycap sorting. What would take one guy 10 hours to do alone, will take 1 hour with 10 friends, and not to mention time will pass faster since everyone is talking.
I urge further development of keycons along these lines!
