Title: Can anyone help me make sense of these Taobao options?
Post by: nguyenhimself on Tue, 14 November 2017, 10:01:54

I'm looking at this keycap set on Taobao, hoping to use them on my Realforce.

https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.52.29d98f70lPYYrx&id=524395195503&ns=1&abbucket=14#detail

But the options are a bit more than I expected and not that much better after a Google Translate pass.

Black engraved with a full set of original unplugged
Black carved a full set contains the original unplugger
Black carved a full set of transparent pull keys
No engraved black engraved transparent puck
White engraved with a full set of transparent pull keys
No engraved white engraved transparent pull keys
White engraved a full set contains the original unplugger
A complete set of white no carved original device

Can anyone help me out? I simply just want a white and grey with letterings set. Thanks.

Realforce 87U. I just need the alphas (and number row) really, so as long as the set fits the Topre stems, It's OK by me

OK here’s what it is.

黑色 = black 白色= white
有刻 = printed 无刻 = blanks
全套 = full set (which all of them are)
包含原装拔键器 = including original keycap puller
送透明拔键器 = gifted to you from seller translucent keycap puller (most likely those made in china ones)

You have to select one of the options, INCLUDING 套餐一, which means set 1. I assume they only offer HHKB keysets as their one and only base option.

So for example, if you want white printed with original keycap puller, you need to select:

白色有刻全套包含原装拔键器 & 套餐一

If you want black blanks without original keycap puller then pick:

黑色无刻全套送透明拔键器 & 套餐一

Note: 375rmb sets will receive a free translucent made in china keycap puller, and not include the original keycap puller. 400rmb sets will include the original keycap puller.

Hope this helps!

Ah, so 无刻 = blanks
That clears things up.
I guess for a white set with letterings and transparent puller, I'll go for "白色有刻全套送透明拔键器"
Thanks a bunch!
