Even in Europe they don't sell keycap sets.  Bruce with the Keyboard Co. has tried to get them, too, but Cherry refuses to sell caps without a 'board.

That would be nice if we could get them here.  I'm not a guinea pig, though.

Are you referring to Elitekeyboards/majestouch here?

Last he left it, it was "I'm looking into it, I'll let you know if it's cost prohibitive". That was some time ago.

well i asked him recently 1-2 weeks ago and he told me their deciding between 30-60usd for the full set in double shots. Didn't say what material they were only its full set.

And apparently the Majectouch will still be sold with the regular print keys. The double shots you buy as extra by itself :/

I don't mind that too much, just wish they decide soon before i get a keyboard :/

I hope he goes on the lower side.

Diatec isn't making these. When we were going to make our own order here EK told us that he was already working with signature plastics. So Diatec is not comping him, they're fairly expensive to make, and he's taking the risk here - the fact that they don't come with the keyboard is to be expected.
