If feel is important to you, you may want to try POMs before you buy. They are... slippery.

To add on to this, the cheapest way to try out POM caps are to find an old set of Cherry caps that someone pulled off a G80 or something. Slippery is a good way to put it, it's not the texture of the cap but more a quality of the material itself.

Yeah, it's super wear resistant and used in low-friction applications. The trade name is Delrin, which may be easier to find out in the wild and imagine it's keycaps.

Wowee I'd be hyped for this

tl;dr, sorry. How thick will the caps be?

Most likely the same as the Gateron PBT in this pic:

Most definitely interested. White Jelly POM FTW!

nevin · « **Reply #205 on:** Fri, 13 November 2015, 07:09:11 »

I think any set that includes some of the non-standard keys in the kit should be a hit. For anybody with non-standard kb, getting all the keys needed can sometimes almost double the price. .... this add-on pack to get a single 1.75 shift, or another mod pack to get 1.5 mods... etc... there have been a number of good examples of this lately.

My vote: jelly white, to keep with consensus.

Other colors would be nice but I'd be happy with a complete kit that's compatible, regardless of what color the gb ends up being.

cryptokey · « **Reply #206 on:** Fri, 13 November 2015, 09:48:00 »

I'm impressed by that price! Ideally I'd go for black or charcoal but I might pick up a set of Jelly whites if that's the only option. Does anybody know if these offer any advantage in terms of ergonomics with their texture?
Grey: uuuunnnggghhhh

E3E · « **Reply #207 on:** Fri, 13 November 2015, 10:25:59 »

I'd happily dye a jelly white set to be a smokey grey. :3 I think Jelly White is the perfect universal color since it will be very applicable to dyeing so that anyone ambitious enough can customize them as they see fit!

I didn't know that they could be dyed!

If that's the case then jelly white for sure. Do you know anywhere that I could learn more about this?

Is there any chance that a 6.5u spacebar could be made for the non standard bottom-row of the G710?

Dernubenfrieken · « **Reply #210 on:** Fri, 13 November 2015, 16:47:50 »

Yep, I'd be in for jelly white.

myotherteeshirt · « **Reply #211 on:** Sat, 14 November 2015, 12:49:35 »

At the stated rice point, I'd be in for jelly whites.

Hopefully Canadian shipping wont be like 50% of what the set is actually worth

keshley · « **Reply #213 on:** Mon, 23 November 2015, 09:08:44 »

I'd be in for a set. I have the Cherry black blank POM keyset, and I find I really like it.

I'm thinking some sort of blue would be awesome.

Vadurr · « **Reply #214 on:** Mon, 23 November 2015, 18:57:49 »

Very interested in the jelly grey posted above...

Cbisquit · « **Reply #215 on:** Tue, 24 November 2015, 17:56:17 »

So, I joined feng's GB on this, but tbh, these keysets are just so gosh darn pretty, I think I might bite for another set or two... You know, for like emergencies or something

Colors of choice would primarily be white, but pink and blue are also fun

amharris · « **Reply #216 on:** Tue, 24 November 2015, 18:52:13 »

Would love to see this.

I think it'd be a good idea to see a safe option of black and a dark grey, as Shadovved did in his PBT GB.
Basically, multiple picks from the greyscale spectrum, as well as a selection of more vibrant colours, such as the ones you listed.

In my experience it's a bit more damped and "deeper". Comparing medium thickness ABS, PBT and POM, PBT is "brightest", POM is "deepest".

romevi · « **Reply #221 on:** Wed, 25 November 2015, 09:35:01 »

Anyone have a link to the Cherry-height POM sets on TaoBao? The ones I seem to keep finding are printed ones or the ones in OEM height.

ccc24 · « **Reply #222 on:** Mon, 30 November 2015, 16:32:12 »

Any eta on a GB? That smoke grey looks awesome. And any chance for a hhkb backspace?

Would love a green set and oink set for some watermelon goodness

Did anything ever happen with this? Seems like Ivan has been busy with personal life recently so whatevs. Does anyone have a link to a cherry profile POM keyset? I want to try cherry profile and POM so might as well take two birds with one stone.

I don't think this will happen anymore, at least not with him.

I thought that after a certain amount of votes, they will create a buy.

Also how did you create those keyboard icons in your signature? Did you MYO? I read somewhere that people use ms paint...

Way back when Ivan said he was going to source these from Gateron; but then I heard from someone else (imsto? been a while) that Gateron doesn't have the molds/tooling to make these so who knows.

I get the feeling that the Rainbow POM's are a tremendous pain in the ass to make plus the manufacturer hasn't been helpful towards fulfilling fengs existing orders.

Massdrop should avoid those like the plague.

The only reputable supplier of POM appears to be whoever is making them for Cherry.

It's not a guarantee. There have been some votes for other very elusive items that haven't been produced in years. Votes are more like wishful thinking for some things--this may be one of them.

That said, I'd really like Massdrop to have POM sets. I'd love to get blank white and blank blue sets.
