Don't worry imsto. So far you've handled things very well. It's not easy to organize a group buy with tons of difference options like this one.

this is the first time to do this, without any experience. So if there's anything wrong or something like missunderstanding, I hope u guys could understand.
I realized there's realy a difference between Western people and Chinese people. Whatever I would try to do this better and to satisfy all the buyers.

Your English is great, and it's a great help to everyone!

Confirmed:

Celerity black on light blue 37 1
black on dark pink 37 1
red blank 37 1
black on light blue 28 1

Was not expecting $23 shipping, I thought someone in the US would be acting as an intermediary to handle the US orders?

Imsto, you've been doing a great job with this so far. With experience comes better service, so eventually it will be a piece of cake for everyone with future group buys.

I don't think anyone ever stepped up to do it. I would do it but since I'm such a noob to the site I doubt anyone wants that.

Any ETA for those 7G / 6GV2 caps?

imsto · « **Reply #359 on:** Sat, 26 February 2011, 07:36:17 »

thanks for all u guys.

there's not a exact schedule for keycaps of 7g

I do have a taobao store, http://shop33611660.taobao.com
and I am not a professional seller, it's looks a little bit simple.

imsto,

Please ask KBC how many sets they would need an order for to make 104 white engraved, ANSI layout. What if i have 20 confirmed sets? Would this persuade them to make a run of them?

I will arrange a group buy with however many people are needed. Try to get me some feedback from an employee there please, they obviously have the equipment to do this...

Thanks

Well thats news to me, but I am willing to facilitate this happening. I'll collect payment and ship out FOB New York. Just get whoever controls that engraving machine to do it.

I will buy 5 sets, I would imagine imsto would want at least 5 sets for his taobao storefront. So that 10 right there.

At least 5 people have asked in this thread alone. I am confident I can get 15 people to do this. That would make a clean 25. Depending on price that would be an order well over $1000. I am hoping that is a motivating factor here.

we are doing the white engraved and black engraved stuff, but it's not easy to control the quality of the keycaps. esp the big ones.

Yep, ANSI is the standard ducky layout, with the single-row enter and wide backspace. I'm hoping the 104 key engraved sets mean we can look forward to blank 104 key sets in black and white. I'd love to snag a full set of pbt blanks, and if they're doing engraved it's not like blanks would be any harder.

How about just the poker group buy? I so want one, but not with reds. Is there going to be a white housing/keycap option, or was that painted as well?

Hi, i was reading about the keycaps and it seems that there is a bit of leeway in some of the orders.

So I was wondering if it is possible to get Korean letters engraved on the keycaps as well as English.

Something like this

Except it would be in the ANSI layout. So it would have the Korean letters and a Won sign instead of a backslash.

And adding to that question are the following sets available or when will they be available if at all?

1. White engraved PBT 104
2. Black engraved PBT 104
3. Gold on Black PBT 104

Thanks for any information

yes, if you give the letters, it's possible to put it on the keycaps

verifyid · « **Reply #384 on:** Wed, 02 March 2011, 22:42:02 »

Will it cost more to get the Korean engravings?
And when you say "give the letters" can I just outline the keys in the picture above?
Or do I have to give specific measurements and fonts?

Hello imsto,

I was curious to know if you are able to order perhaps an entire set of titanium keycaps for a tenkeyless cherry keyboard. I notice in the picture there are engravings, is there a chance to have them blank? or will there be engraving on every keycap. And out of curisoity is it roughly around $5 a keycap?

Thank you

I'd also like to know this, I have been considering getting a Filco tenkeyless and if titanium keycaps are available for at least WASD + maybe a few more keys I will definitely get one.

imsto · « **Reply #388 on:** Thu, 03 March 2011, 09:22:43 »

104 titanium keycaps would take a very long time to make, like 2 months.the price is 18$, even if u want 1040 keycaps, the same price, because it's hand made.

imsto · « **Reply #389 on:** Thu, 03 March 2011, 09:44:13 »

eh, yeah. I think someone might misunderstand now..

verifyid · « **Reply #390 on:** Thu, 03 March 2011, 10:46:44 »

lol $18 a set....

vun · « **Reply #391 on:** Thu, 03 March 2011, 14:07:46 »

Oh, rather expensive then. I think I'd have to settle on just the WASD keys if anything. Not sure if it's quite worth it at that price.
Is this only for a limited time, or is there no hurry in making up my mind?

British · « **Reply #392 on:** Fri, 04 March 2011, 07:48:18 »

imsto, could you please put the prices for the titanium caps in your first post ?
Along with the arrow keys, I take it it's easy to take like 9 blank titanium caps to fill the ins/home/del/end/pgup/pgdw/prtscr/scrlck/pause keys ?

Also, you discussed with imav about engraving the space bar with geehack.org... was it specific to him, or subject to be delivered to the mass ?
What would then be the cost ?
Would it be possible to have the text centered ?

Last but not least, are titanium keys available in ctrl/alt size (for Archiss/Leopold) ?

Do you want me to ask even more questions ? :wink:

snowball · « **Reply #393 on:** Fri, 04 March 2011, 08:15:02 »
