Title: Is it still possible to get Miami keycaps?
Post by: P3TC0CK on Mon, 01 September 2014, 11:02:21
Every since I got my mech I've wanted a set of Miami keycaps, but they were all sold out at techkeys. Anyone know where I can get a similar set or other similarly outrageous/odd sets?

CtrlAlt said they will do a mini buy for the Miami set, but I have no idea when.

GMK Miami possibly happening, wait a bit and see what happens

May just end up being a mini buy with cherry legends

The mini buy just or may not be GMK, but they for sure will have those sexy cherry legends

Meh, I like the Cherry legends fine but I'd really like to see the GMK Miami colors and cap thickness.

Agreed, although I think if they where made via GMK the set would be darker than the SP version due to the differences in colours (assuming they would use the pink and teal that has been used in other GMK GB's!

It won't be (if it's a mini buy)

GMK MOQ is FAR too high

/me grumps

200 sets isn't too high :(

250*

Well Cherry legends would still be an improvement, would it be possible (in such a mini buy) to have an ISO enter key with a legend on it?
Title: Re: Is it still possible to get Miami keycaps?
Post by: Puddsy on Tue, 02 September 2014, 11:41:13
Yeah probably

If GMK can make the contrast between the two colours better, I suspect 200 MOQ is feasible.

I thought the GMK CMY Esc key group came out looking good. I didn't think there was contrast problem on the magenta/cyan. But I had other ideas like Miami Beach (cyan/magenta on beige) or Miami Nights (cyan/magenta on black) which I think would look better in the end.

Yup.  This would be amazing.  I need more cyan/magenta in my life, period.

Yeh, not sure if I want to try Miami Nights or Commodore/NCR mashup + yellow/orange 'fall' colorpack for next time.

With Miami Nights would the set be all black with Miami coloured legends?

Yes, black keys with cyan/magenta legend.

To answer your question, this is why the classifieds exists. Post a WTB thread for the Miami set.
