Title: What's the greatest keyset ever produced in terms of terms of S&D?
Post by: linkshine on Mon, 05 October 2015, 11:40:38
My favorite set I've seen is Penumbra, but is Skull Squadron actually harder to get based on supply and demand? The more I see it the more it climbs right next to penumbra for me. Just best guess on WTB classifieds and experience, what is the white whale keyset?

SoWaRe (http://keypuller.com/soware/) is one that comes to mind.

My white whale set is the dyesub Arabic Cherry set (http://www.kbdmania.net/xe/photo/6473400).

Soware is the keyset I desire the most. I had an opportunity to buy one or two a few months ago and decided on a new RA 2.0 set instead.. If anyone has a soware set, I will give you my firstborn and GMK Olivetti/paypal

Edit: You'd have to combine a ANSI keyset and a JIS keyset to get the results. Or find a Realforce 87/104 and a 108/96 and make your own  :p

Those are all pretty damn common, just not up for sale often.  Pulse just has a hypeman and a Reddit circlejerk around it.

I knew of others that are far less common.  Soulfree teal, for example.  OG Red Alert doesn't cone up too often.  SoWaRe  isn't super common and I know there are old sets that aren't super common either.

Right, but maybe in terms of supply and DEMAND it is. Would you say there is a higher demand for Pulse than any of the others? I just saw one on ebay for ^$600 with 5 days left.. Gotta be that reddit hype train

Just because someone is insane doesn't mean there is a high demand for a keyset.

To me eBay isn't a very good measure of demand.

I'd argue the massdrop voting system is, and pulse seems to show up a lot.

And I meant unique in that there are a decent amount of blue/black keysets, including things like modern selectric or round 5a that people could get a similar effect with.

But it's not in such high demand.

I agree, original Penumbra and PuLSE would be the ones I think have highest demand / lowest availability ratio right now. It changes. Skull Squadron is wanted, but not like these two. Being a DSA set, it's not quite as popular and there was the DCS version run which satisfied some people.

SoWaRe is... DCS profile. So, while the colour scheme is rare and people like it a lot, the actual set is not that nice to use. GMK SoWaRe would be pretty baller, IMHO, but the interest check thread for it is only 6 pages and the project has been shelved for now, so I wouldn't say the demand is anywhere near the other two.

Blank Topre... still not as high demand, although the people who want it are vocal and have been left without it for a long time and the demand is certainly getting higher as more people get mechanical boards.

they don't really exist. you have to buy a blank ANSI set and a blank JIS set to get the right keys together.

DSA Retro is also similar to Skull Squadron in terms of demand, I would say.

I also think Hack'd By Geeks and Retro SA could become "in-high-demand" sets in future.

One key feature of these sets is that they were run as "limited edition" sets. Just a single GB and no license to the manufacturer to reproduce them. I like this a lot, as it makes the sets you buy in these GB's have more rarity value and are simply more valued overall by the owners and other enthusiasts (not just financially).

I think Ivan's Black on Black dyesub Cherry profile PBT set could have become a high demand one, but he ran a second run at lower prices to satisfy the demand soon after the first completed.

The upcoming Penumbra Round 2 may reduce demand for the OG sets, though, even though it will be fully sculpted instead of the original 1-2-3-3-3-4 profile.

If you look strictly at current demand (largely fueld by reddit users, since there are so many of them and they don't necessarily know the older sets), Pulse is probably way up there, along with Penumbra and others listed.

However, I think it's also interesting to look at the potential demand (though purely speculative), and for that I'd have to go with some OG Cherry Dyesub sets.  I think that if more people would have a chance to try these sets, they'd see how great they are and the demand would follow.  Again, speculation.  :)  This is the most I've ever spent on a set of keycaps, and I know many others who would spend similar amounts.  ;)

Calm Depths is pretty solid.  Pulse is great as well.  Penumbra's mods are okay but I think I'm burned out on white/gray/beige alphas as they didn't really appeal to me.

Penumbra has a very appealing colorway, particularly with the solarized alphas, but it suffers from a (mostly) uniform, non-sculpted R3 profile, which strikes me as a disappointing waste of SA keycaps.

OG is borrowed street slang for the Original Gangsters, the people who started the gang. In this context it's referring to original Cherry keyboards, not reproductions after the fact. So OG Dolch refers to the caps from a Dolch PAC keyboard, as opposed to the GMK replicas (even though GMK is still using the original equipment).

I was wondering what is OG also. Thank you for the clear and simple explanation, with an example included; then, it means I am typing in an OG Beige set now, it even has the delicious row 5 modifiers. Wow!

To many people, OG is just about status, but there are those who believe OG Cherry caps are physically superior to modern GMK, perhaps due to tooling wear or some other reason.

I have also read some remarks related with that. Fact is that recent runs of GMK made key caps have shown some minor manufacturing defects. In any case molds can keep working well, with the proper replacement of worn off components.

OG Red Alert would be Red Alert R1.  Like nj said, OG is for Original Gangster, but it's often used as slang for just original or the first.

No, in that context it's referring to the original SP RA group buy run by Sixty and Uranium, not some set from an original Cherry keyboard.
