Post by: Techno Trousers on Wed, 03 February 2016, 18:41:59: OMG that price. How much will the market bear for custom keycap color schemes? $165 is halfway to an entire Ellipse F62 or F77 keyboard. My personal hard limit is about $80 to cover a TKL board. I might go a little higher to get PuLSE + novelties from Massdrop though just because it's my favorite color scheme of all (so far).

That's fairly low for a custom set.

Yep, that's why I don't buy many. Unicomp charges $25-40 for full dyesub PBT sets, and Tai Hao and Vortex have some good prices. Vortex double shot PBT is still within my range.

This was me when I first hear about it. I know lot's of others were interested in a set. It's not really my thing though.

sherry has been pretty good with me and others lately, but this is bonkers.

I think people somehow forget that vendors have to make a profit somehow. They can't just sell everything for GB price.

That being said $165 (or even $150) us laughable.
