20 RMB (3.2USD) a pop.

Who says SC2 keycaps are going to be extinct?

more pictures here

These are KBC keycap height, so it matches the profile for FILCO/Leopold/DUCKY etc.
But there's another person doing with what I believe to be Noppoo keycaps, basically Cherry Corp Profile, for about 30RMB a pop.

Sorry, Ragnarock.

I think contacting imsto directly would work better since he runs this Taobao store

EDIT : I missed these

Holy ****, dye sub goodness! Finally, it took them a whole year.

Omg thick dye subbed pbt keys. I'm glad that I was patient and didn't jump on that SP bandwagon,
not to mention the ridiculously expensive($350 USD) original Cherry dye subbed keys.

Based on the price of these a full set shouldn't cost that much.
The key profile looks identical to Cherry.

kaiserreich · « **Reply #8 on:** Mon, 14 November 2011, 18:10:49 »

1 RMB is a nominal price used in the listing
If you translate the description, it reads that the keycaps are 30RMB each.

kaiserreich: How do you know which keys are available? Just have to look at the 2nd picture? I would like to pick up a few of those, nevermind I got it, contact imsto ;p

kaiserreich · « **Reply #11 on:** Mon, 14 November 2011, 18:25:10 »

Send in your designs and get them made.
No need to know what is available.

tsangan · « **Reply #12 on:** Mon, 14 November 2011, 18:26:36 »

Oh lala, can't wait for them to release some 87 key dye subs sets ;3

Somehow I have a feeling that imsto will start a group buy for these.

RiGS · « **Reply #17 on:** Mon, 14 November 2011, 19:07:20 »

I really want the version with the thicker Cherry profile.

bloodygood · « **Reply #18 on:** Mon, 14 November 2011, 19:32:22 »

Something tells me KBC is about to become rich from this forum alone. I will go ahead and say it for everyone. Shut up and take my money!

Pretendo · « **Reply #19 on:** Mon, 14 November 2011, 20:55:49 »

Those are really pretty. Seems like their manufacturing process allows for any picture to be printed too!

So if I sent in a picture of my face... Hmm, I wonder.

imsto · « **Reply #24 on:** Mon, 14 November 2011, 22:54:10 »

I think I should make a group, taking custom orders. but not now.

btw: those who ordered alumium casing for poker will get a free geekhack keycap. and great iMav'd agreed.

kaiserreich · « **Reply #25 on:** Mon, 14 November 2011, 22:58:40 »

@imsto,

The other person selling dyesubs at Taobao says his process is slow, so he can only make so much at a time.
Is your dyesub process a mass production one?

That's a pretty nice PCB. I'm loving the white soldermask.

and the symmetric staggered layout.

kaiserreich · « **Reply #37 on:** Tue, 15 November 2011, 01:01:16 »

bloodygood · « **Reply #38 on:** Tue, 15 November 2011, 02:19:07 »

I am definitely digging that White PCB, looks very clean and well laid out. I saw the groupbuy for Chameleon controllers over on deskthority but it seems like they lost some hope due to price/uncertainty. Has there been any new developments as far as getting those in stock somewhere at a decent price?
I am currently torn since I can't decide which of the 3 controllers to look in to. Chameleon, Aikon, or Teensy. All apparently can handle NKRO and are USB based, all can handle led's. But programming them all have their own methods. I do have backing in C so I could probably handle actually writing the code for the teensy, but the others are also well praised.

litster · « **Reply #39 on:** Tue, 15 November 2011, 02:32:22 »

imsto, which factory is making PCBs for you? For our Phantom keyboard PCB project, we are planning on using pcbwing.com. We are looking for cheaper alternatives.

imsto · « **Reply #40 on:** Tue, 15 November 2011, 03:37:18 »

a small factory here... making pcb in China should be more cheaper than in US I think.

rich0d · « **Reply #41 on:** Tue, 15 November 2011, 03:51:38 »

That NERV one looks awesome, although I think there was a doubleshot NERV which I may or may not have missed out on. I'll go check.

imsto · « **Reply #42 on:** Tue, 15 November 2011, 03:52:25 »

if u want to make the pcbs in China I may give u the address, if they can do not understand English I may help too. but the shipping is not cheap *_*

KoolAidMan · « **Reply #43 on:** Tue, 15 November 2011, 04:57:22 »

I am totally down for these printed SC2 keys, wow

cactux · « **Reply #44 on:** Tue, 15 November 2011, 06:24:19 »

For this kind of proces is there any limitation as far as the max number of colors?

I think yes, but there's a lot number of colors
