Post by: getf on Fri, 15 May 2015, 12:44:51

Ahoy

This set just arrived this afternoon, mounted on a Choc Mini.

This was my first Group Buy from SP via PMK. Missing a few caps  :-\ unsure if I will give PMK/SP more of my business. 

Thank you for looking.

That is not acceptable. Send them an email. They seem to have more of a problem with this than individuals who run GBs.

I did - I prefer to do CS related things over the telephone - and what do you know SP is closed on Fridays  :cry:

That's a really nice looking key set getf. The email key really pops.

I've been wondering where to buy key sets to fit my Choc Mini (many of the keys seem to be non-standard sizes), what does does PMK/SP stand for?

Your \  key is upside down.


That does suck that so many are missing (I can't tell though).  They should make it right.

Hi -
PMK = http://www.pimpmykeyboard.com/  (http://www.pimpmykeyboard.com/)
SP = Signature Plastics http://www.keycapsdirect.com/ (http://www.keycapsdirect.com/)

From what I understand is Pimp my Keyboard is the storefront are side of Signature Plastics. 

And as far as the Choc Mini which has a unique home row (1.5,1,1.5,5.5,1,1,1.5)  and right shift (2u)

I bought  my spacebar here http://www.shapeways.com/product/274MBNFB5/blank-spacebar-keycap-5-5x?optionId=34454473 (http://www.shapeways.com/product/274MBNFB5/blank-spacebar-keycap-5-5x?optionId=34454473)
This is the only place i have been able to find a 5.5u spacebar.  Keep in mind this is 3D Printed so it will not be as nice as the stock POM Plastic spacebar on the Choc Mini.

Thanks for pointing that out!

Cheers for that info getf. I have the old version of the Mini and its a great little board -really useful layout- but many of the POM were so worn I replaced them with a PBT Vortex set but unfortunately the modifier keys don't match up. I'll look into PMK and SP for a set that does.

Looks good. Maybe it's just the lighting, but your shapeways bar looks so much whiter than mine.

Hey thanks - I sanded primed painted and put on a clear coat on it.  Too fuzzy from the factory for my likes

Looks surprisingly nice on a 75% keyboard compared to others
