Title: Doubleshot ABS keycaps - Interest Check
Post by: ShakeR on Wed, 19 March 2014, 10:29:12: I know Double shot PBTs are in high demand. What about Double shot ABS sets? Should be around $25- $30 shippped for a full size set. Let us know! The MOQ is very high.

$25-$30 sounds good to me regardless.

edit: get them to do something like dolch and I bet MOQ will be no problem at that price

It's a shame, I am not that into OEM profile.

Everyone is saturated with the original Tai Hao sets - yellow, (dark) green, (dark) blue, red and black.

Another vendor here purchased quite a few sets and still has some in stock.

Originative was going to offer some different Tai Hao colours, but that seems to have fallen through.

If you can find colours different to the original GB, this could work ...

BTW Tai Hao includes double shot blanks :))

The original sets did not, but Elton sent them a standard 6.25x space bar and they made (or found?) molds, so now they can produce 6.25x space bars.
