Title: [IC] International Extra for European only!? DE, DK, ES, FI, IT, NO, and SE
Post by: sennin32 on Sun, 07 May 2017, 02:59:30
During end of Apr, we receive a message.
Tell us he want a extra set for Germany keyboard.
But it is hard to find, ask if we can do that.
"Why not"

We might want this extra set as universal as possible.
This kind of keycaps are rare must come for a reason - to less people need it.
Profile might be Cherry or OEM, maybe both.
Color will be black or white, And prefer laser engrave.
That fits most existing keycaps and have lesser color tolerance.
But still keep some other options in the form.
Maybe we're wrong about what is most popular.

Here is the legends sample, this is not made by us, maybe missed some key? Or it's complete!? :

And here's the form:

Any idea? comment!

What exactly is it that you want to offer? What colorway/profile is this for?

It is in the form, section 2, click continue in first section and you'll see it.
This is kind of fill up the origin cap guys already have.
So we put the choice in the form.
But it seems that white/black and OEM/Cherry profile will be the most popular.

This check is kind like "Do you need these caps with Euro printing?"
Reason why there's no such caps might because of the need is very low.
That means making lot of caps and stock it is not possible.
But if there enough people is interesting in this, we might able to make a batch.

Here too. Form says authorization is needed.

BTW, I find it funny how in so many keysets, especially MD exclusive sets, in the International kit there are NOR-DE-UK but not IT-SE-FR etc. And when I find sets with Italian keys they are not complete. lol

The Form is now accessible, but still doesn't give us any information of what this is exactly about without filling it out, and you don't want people filling it out with random information because they are curious what this is about. You really should put some info in the first post here of what this is.

This always goes up, but it never gets to MOQ. Good luck.

I encourage all effort to include or offer local support in GBs. Lasered caps is kind of a turnoff though.
Maybe useful https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=85823.0 and this https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=88361.msg2413199#msg2413199

I truly don't see why we're asked about expected price.
Anyway, international keys should have their tertiary legends too.

Haha, yes, very small market.
If laser engrave/dye-sub.
Maybe 10~20 set is possible.

damn, this is pretty nice set

Cause the price guys can accept effect what printing method we can use, and effect MoQ.
If very less people want it, but they can accept higher price.
Than it is still possible to run for it.
This is reason why we want to know the price range people can accept :)

Totally understandable but rarely someone who is willing to pay an amount of cash for something actually buys it. It would be better, if you ask me, to state what you could possibly offer and at what price.

OEM is kinda covered by Tai Hao and others and can be acquired for cheap, classic colors like Black on Beige (double-shot, dye-sub or lasered) or White on Black lasered ISO-DE (not sure about others) Cherry keycaps can be gotten easily from Cherry boards on eBay. Varmilo is also covering most languages and you can customze it to your liking.

The biggest problem is simply int'l coverage of specific GMK/SP colorways and import taxes, not a lack of beige and black.
