Don't like the white capslock? Dye it, just did it, very happy.


lol people are complaining the off-color makes the capslock stick out like a sore thumb. Yeah and the red doesn't....

This is the third round.
After everyone complained about the keycap thickness in the other rounds, this "GB" was made. As far as I know, it's the first for the thicker PBT keycaps.

btw he says you can still order these. they wont be shipped immediately tho as can be seen with other people's orders on the threads. blanks would take about a week to ship, but he wouldnt' say how long the dye subbed ones would take to ship

Good news! I came home today saw a nice little package waiting for me. Actually a pretty large package :D

I'll try to ship all the stuff for the sub-group buy tomorrow.

Since he never posts here I thought I would put this out there. I asked imsto about getting more of these. He said it would take at least 20 business days. As they are producing more.

Sadly he said the caps lock issue will not be fixed. Not sure why.

maybe he does not want people who had bought the incorrect caplock to bother him for a replacement one. Fixing it should not be that difficult.

Yah idk, but I would think if doing a second run it would be mando. Oh well I don't want to wait. Sold my blue set but the red looked really nice. BUt it will probably be 2 months before they make it to the states.

You should probably double that estimate to get closer to the real timeframe. ;)

Ha yah I guess so for some of you guys. Did you guys choose  the cheap shipping? He said in the beginning that it sucks and would take a while. I used fedex.

I thought $25 shipping was the only option.  Has everyone else who paid the $25 gotten theirs?  Were we supposed to get tracking numbers, or anything?

I PMed with him in early February; Confirmed my order and paid. Then I never heard any word. I finally PMed him again, and he said that he was waiting for them, or something....  Last week, he said "next week" they will make them (WTF???) and maybe ship too. I think that what we have got here is a failure to communicate.  :-(
