I do want to see what they could potentially make for us.
I don't think I have seen samples of Gateron POM.
Is there a GB active now?
How will the F and J keys be? Any chance to have scooped F and J?No but maybe scooped blank and blank.
We do need scoops in our lives.
But as long as they aren't nipples I can live. Nipples are so bad.

Interesting, why do you say so? They don't seem to bother me. Pls explain :)
would be interested in any of the sets if they hit MOQ, particularly interested in magenta, purple, and electric blue. would like jelly, but opaque is fine tooOpaque in this context means jelly (see OP). Not trying to be pedantic, just hopefully clearing up confusion. It's kind of confusing because lexically, opaque is the opposite of transparent. Maybe a better term for jelly would be semi-opaque.
What about a set of blank POM CMYK/CMYW mods? :cool:What would be the color of the alpha?
I've been looking into getting some Cherry profile POM sets made. They will be made with Gateron. Sets will be available as BLANK ONLY! Estimated price is $27-35 per set, full 104 key ANSI plus extras 1.5 mods, 1.75 shift, 7x spacebar... and some additional 1x bottom row keys. 1800 support may also be a possibility.
Custom colors are possible! So I wanted to gauge some interest in what most people would like to see. My suggestions are white, bright orange, lime green, magenta, electric blue, purple. It may be possible to have them opaque or 'jelly' style semi translucent. MOQ will be 300 sets, so I will play it safe and go with a single color at a time to get the best numbers... unless it really looks like we can handle two colors with sheer numbers. They are much cheaper than what we are used to around here after all.
Post what you would like to see happen.
Guys the OP is talking about full sets of blanks.We didn't say that they should be written. Does blank refer to only one color?

Lime green mods with purple alphas. Opaque
Fair enough. Let's make 2 sets with the 2 tones of Dolch then!Guys the OP is talking about full sets of blanks.
IMO sticking to full one color sets would probably be the best.
Since the estimated price is very reasonable you could just pick up multiple sets to mix and match as you want which would also result in more unique/creative combinations being used.
If the GB will be done with one or two colors at a time it gets a nice timeline/collecting vibe and won't hurt you wallet too much to add another color to your collection like maybe every two month. =)
In addition doing only two full sets at a time should also help to reach MOQ, since full sets would be appealing to people that want to use it stand alone as well as people that want to mix and match. (while for example having two colors standalone as well as mixed would split the interest between the two and both may potentially not reach MOQ)
Fair enough. Let's make 2 sets with the 2 tones of Dolch then!I'm kidding but I would love these colors.
I don't really know what to think about the opaque/jelly choice. I'm not a big fan of transparent but I've never tried them.

Sorry I didn't want to be a buzzkill, just figured it would be simpler... :)
Dolch colors sounds sweet! Im confused if you meant semi-opaque/jelly or real opaque tho?
Imo ever so slightly transparent (so semi opaque/jelly) would look great for pretty much all color options. (So basically not see through but transparent enough to let light pass thru or diffuse light)
Im not a big fan of completely transparent either tbh, but it also depends a lot on the color. (I imagine white not to work great since it might be just clear, while dark purple for example would probably work better)
Doing Dolch colors could even be an idea for themed GBs. So you could have Dolch themed colors for one GB, Miami themed for the next just as an example. So every GB would be two matching colors, that also go together as a set basically?
I would very much love a bright (Hyperfuse style) Cyan. Together with (light) smoke and purple this would probably make for some sweet Hyperfuse add ons or a Hyperfuse inspired mix! :thumb:

I wonder how POM feels like.
I wonder how POM feels like.
Hard and slippery, like an untextured cutting board. But you get used to it.
I love the themed pairs GB idea. Buy two full sets, and it's still cheaper than ABS Doubleshot or PBT. Here are some pairs that have already come up:
Lime Green / Purple
White / Orange
Dolch
Miami
And there goes my money buying 10 POM sets!I wonder how POM feels like.
Hard and slippery, like an untextured cutting board. But you get used to it.
I've never used POMs before but may or may not get a few with my order from imisto to try out... :)
Guessing from only two typing videos Ive seen (one of which was Lastpilot's CrytsalTKL and both used PC/Acrylic cases) it seemed to me like they have quite a distinct and imo pleasing sound to them.
It would be nice if someone with experience could elaborate on this, but to me the 'tone/sound profile' sounded less shrill (deeper tone) and even kinda muffled. It might also heavily depend on the non metal cases used on those builds so I might be very wrong associating the keycaps with this tho...I love the themed pairs GB idea.

Really like the pairs like you listed them nj! It actually fits the original/suggested colors pretty well (Lime, Purple, White, Smoke, Pink, light Blue etc are all covered) and pairs them nicely!
Old White was also mentioned a few times, so maybe pair Old White with Teal for a TA style theme.
And since Smoke-Grey would already be covered (by Dolch) as well as purple (by the purple/lime 420 set xD ) another combination could be Cyan with Light-Smoke/Grey to complete a Hyperfuse set... =)
Yes, POM is very dense and thus heavy and deep-sounding. I've got a stock set on a modern Cherry G80-1800 with black switches. It's kind of like typing on tom-toms.I wonder how POM feels like.

The body and stems of Cherry MX switches are made of POM, IIRC.I wonder how POM feels like.

What about a set of blank POM CMYK/CMYW mods? :cool:What would be the color of the alpha?
Yeah I like this idea as well but like most said the less complicated the better. Running multiple set with a uniform color may help us reach the MOQ faster. In the end, you just have to buy each set with the color you're looking for and then mix it to your personal taste. ^^What about a set of blank POM CMYK/CMYW mods? :cool:What would be the color of the alpha?
How about white alphas?
If we can only have 1 color keyset, then my vote is probably white jelly.
But how cool would it be to have white jelly + cmyw mods?!
Each keycap color has it's own MOQ of 300, which is why I was concern about offering more than one color at a time. It's no so easy as with the PBT able to offering multiple legends option to entice orders, as here it is blank only. But, we have the low price that should help.I think it would need to stick with one color.

You cant have too many choices or else none of the sets will make it. (Or at least a very few of them would meet moq.)

Two at a time would be good.Jelly orange.
Jelly white would do well.
But, what would be a good second color?

Orange is ugly as sin. :p
I vote jelly white or jelly sky blue. Preferably jelly sky blue, that's a dream keycap set nobody makes right now. :P
Sure, I will make a poll eventually. Just gathering some ideas for now.Cool. Dolch color power!
ivan is going to be sorry he didn't just stick with black :DYeah, after thinking some, smoke black would look badass on jelly pom
I requested them to make sample... in 'mountain dew' :))Show Image(http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3383/4631847017_44685afac8_z.jpg)
I'm thinking to try this color, along with other color option of a medium grey.
Ooh, looking forward to see how the grey looks.
I would definitely purchase sets in jelly white, orange and grey. If the "Mountain dew" samples look good, possibly also in green... Get that poll going, Ivan! ;)

After several attempts, the 'Mountain Dew' color is not possible. :'(This makes sense. Has DIY-dyeing POM been proven to work?
At this time, I think going for simple translucent 'milky' color is the best approach. I may also consider doing batch dye on them in the various iDye poly colors. This way we get the best of all worlds without individual MOQ for different colors.

oh and ISO-enter key won't be possible?
No, ISO enter won't be available. I've decided to just go with basic white the first time out. If these sets prove popular for more runs I will revisit color options in the future.
I'll get this moved into buy status in the coming couple week after the other open groupbuy I have ordering stage is complete.
Could you consider adding - for a fee - one 1u key in the asdf row? That would allow me to have an iso set, using the gmk blue on the recent gh group buy.
1x Jelly White!! Is INT shipping possible?
1x Jelly White!! Is INT shipping possible?
Ivan always ships international. I have participated in at least 5 of his GBs :thumb:
i might be into this. if there is a possibility of 2-color, would we be able to get a second 'mod' color tab/backslash key for hhkb-layout/to appease those who prefer symmetrical color schemes?

As far as I understood Ivan he will offer two separate sets for easy mix'n'match. A 2 tone set would be too much sorting work for him.
So just buy one of each and build the combination you want :thumb:
I'm very tempted to buy some sets, but I would like at least one ISO Enter keycap... :-[

Here is a comparison picture for keycap profiles:Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/kFxqOm8.jpg)
Most keyboards come with OEM profile keycaps as standard. These will be cherry profile, which is "shorter" than OEM.
Edit: Your post count is huge, so maybe you knew this info already...not sure if I'm missing something :-[
I hope that the F and J have a bar in the lower part of the keycap (not scooped, please :-)))

He is just wondering about whether the taller row 5 will be used on the f row.
Most Cherry profile sets do not have row 5 f keys however some Cherry sets do.

This has 1.5 mods and cherry profile so I'll happily pass on feng's for this iteration.
Purely on the basis of price alone this is definitely a superior set, but 300 MOQ sounds like a lot, and feng's buy is the second in a short amount of time. Is there enough interest to reach MOQ for multiple colors?
I'd be in for white jelly POMs. Does anyone know profile of Corsair K95?Probably OEM. Why are you asking? Do you plan to mix and match the stock caps with some POMs?
Probably OEM. Why are you asking? Do you plan to mix and match the stock caps with some POMs?
FWIW, most people with an opinion prefer Cherry profile to OEM. I don't have a preference, but the two definitely don't mix.Probably OEM. Why are you asking? Do you plan to mix and match the stock caps with some POMs?
I'm actually building my own B.face with HHKB layout. It's just that I got really used to this profile and I find it comfortable... so I'd like to stick with it.
If feel is important to you, you may want to try POMs before you buy. They are... slippery.
Yeah, it's super wear resistant and used in low-friction applications. The trade name is Delrin, which may be easier to find out in the wild and imagine it's keycaps.If feel is important to you, you may want to try POMs before you buy. They are... slippery.
To add on to this, the cheapest way to try out POM caps are to find an old set of Cherry caps that someone pulled off a G80 or something. Slippery is a good way to put it, it's not the texture of the cap but more a quality of the material itself.
tl;dr, sorry. How thick will the caps be?
I'd happily dye a jelly white set to be a smokey grey. :3 I think Jelly White is the perfect universal color since it will be very applicable to dyeing so that anyone ambitious enough can customize them as they see fit!
I have a full set of Cherry Profile POM sets and I can say they are amazing to type on (at least for me).
