Have anyone seen black otaku?
http://www.originativeco.com/collections/keysets/products/black-otaku
I want to see the actual image but rendering image.
However, no one does not seem to buy.

There was a big preorder not sure if people got their keys. I never got my space bars.

I have em. More purple tint than my POM, some of the keys like F-row and right shift are warped and sit slightly twisted on the stem. Very disappointing even before you get to the winkey kit and spacebar never materializing.
verdict: try to wait for ivan's gb leftovers if you want 87 key dark PBT... if you want WKL this is your best bet for the PBT 1.5x in black so you don't really have other options.

Just remember the risks involved with ordering from sherry.
sometimes you won't get anything and that's no good.
-
There's a reason nobody buys and they don't have a vendor forum... :rolleyes:
But you can try to pick up a set from Ivan's GB if you want a black blank set. It's already over, but I think I saw some people trying to get rid of their sets. You probably have a better bet there.

Sorry, but you can't blame the colour/bad stems on sherry. That's BSPs fault and nobody elses.

I wouldn't buy ANY BSP, including the upcoming imsto dyesub replicas. Color observation was just that they are not PURE black, they are modeled after realforce-ish colors as intended. Warp is present on the otaku shift and the RGBY set that came with my package, so it's not the colors making wonky molds :D
They were exactly as I expected after reading reviews of other BSP, which were less than thrilling.

Yeah, they're not great.. :-[

BUT sherry delayed and delayed claiming to have worked out any problems and color issues directly with the manufacturer....but for what they cost you would think BSP could do a little better.

Warped keys are a risk on any pbt set on larger keys. It's just inherent to the material. Though, depending on the QA at wherever factory the chances of receiving warped keys may rage drastically from 10% to 90%. Even the best of the best of QA Cherry I have come across some warped or miscast keys on a few occasions. BSP make nice keys, but they could use to retool the 2.75 shift especially since it is almost always off in some way it seems whether with warp or excessive shrink AND make tooling for the common sizes of everything that is missing on their end. Stepping up their QA wouldn't hurt either. Even still as they are they are still one of the top quality keycaps. Whoever is making the new Cherry profile PBTs for Leopold though is kicking their ass at a fraction of the cost. I really want to find out who that factory is.
