Dyesub or doubleshot does not matter, but I really need a set of beige and white keycaps for my KMAC. Sort of like this but for mx not beam spring of course :p: http://webwit.nl/input/ibm_beam_spring/p70/1.jpg
Any help is appreciated, thanks!

imsto, cryllic(but that has red on it), old cherry boards

ebay. Look for Cherry keyboards. Just be aware that there are some with laser engraved legends, along with DS. Do not worry about sublimated, you will find they command very high prices. An L after the main part number is a laser engraved legends one, and H is for a double shot one. I am not sure about a P, it may mean pad printed.

This is very helpful, thank you! Also, if I were to buy the IMSTO pbt set that does not come with a spacebar, would you have any idea where I might find a matching spacebar?

I wish I could find a matching 6.25 spacebar for my beige set.

What color is the IMSTO pbt set? Depending on the color I may suggest a place to get a PBT space bar. Upload a picture if you can.

You can order a set of beige keys from originative but they only come in 85 key and also don't include a spacebar.

Beware that the guy that runs Originative tends to be hit or miss, and the keycaps on that classic Beige set tend to come crooked. I've heard the same thing about the IMSTO set though.

I'd avoid Originative entirely. Sherry's a scumbag.

What makes you say that? I was considering buying something from Originative. I noticed he doesn't have a vendor forum on GH. Did he at one point?

Yes, but after taking money, disappearing with no contact from people for 6 months, leaving people in the lurch, and is now slowly shipping out pre-orders, ignoring e-mails and PMs, and shipping some new orders well before pre-orders. He's just not a reliable seller nor does he give you proper updates.

Yeah, the dude is kind of a turd sandwich

Good to know.

Easiest solution to get PBT 7x spacebar to match is either G80-11800 or G81-3000 winkeyless with white/beige lasered if you happen to find them... or you could go onto German ebay as it is often not too difficult to find a decent price on 3000SAD dyesub.

Thanks for the info!

What about a 6.25U spacebar? Am I out of luck?

Lasered PBT 3000 probally

If you want 6.25 that means you have 1.25 modifier... might as well just get complete PBT set from imsto. 6.25 space from Cherry G80/G81 dosen't work with non Cherry keyboard, the switch stem is not in center.

Oh yea....forgot about that. Off center stem so annoying

That's pretty easy to mod though, no? Just harvest a stem from another cap and use some sticky tack to mount it on the switch and/or stabilizer. That's what I do with spacebars for my FC660M to make them work.
Also, the IMSTO set doesn't come with a spacebar.

The imsto sets with 1.25 modifier for winkey keyboard do come with 6.25 spacebar, all PBT.

Ah, so you mean the "thin" Cherry PBT set here (http://imsto.cn/index.php?route=product/product&path=62&product_id=51). I don't think that would match my beige alphas though.

That is an awesome, but very expensive set. There is an space bar at the Qtan store, it is a white one in PBT. You should check if the color may match your set. I am afraid it is out of stock now.
