Anyhow, I have the Russian and the Blues. Here are the Blues on the GH75 v.2 with some other blue 'caps here and there.

[edit]
On the GH75, the Caps Lock switch is offset to the left so with a normal Imsto 105 keycap set you can use the stepped Caps Lock keycap, and leave the centered 1.75 Caps Lock keycap available for Shift_R. I have done so here. (The 1.75 Shift_R from an ISO or RGB set would also work, and would have the proper "Shift" legend.)

Received the set just 5 minutes ago.

The postman just asked what was all about those little boxes containing computer stuff and when I explained there were keycaps inside with russian lettering he didn't look at me like if I was a freak

He looked interested and asked me if there were wood keycaps and wooden keyboards or coloured keys for the all black boring keyboards. I think I can recruit him to join the dark side

limmy · « **Reply #1631 on:** Tue, 19 March 2013, 09:36:11 »

I got mine. Thanks, Ivan.

This is the first time I used Chinese thick PBT caps and I like how it feels. Surface of key caps feels dry and fresh to touch and thickness of the caps gives solid feel.

I got Black letter + RGB-legend modifier set and there are two things I would like to see improved in the next set. I don't know if all of my suggestions can be easily implemented, but here they are regardless. :
1. nubs of F and J are very subtle.
2. RGB legends would look better if darker color was used. Shift and Alt legends are light colored to my taste and I would prefer darker legends.

guilleguillaume · « **Reply #1632 on:** Tue, 19 March 2013, 09:43:48 »

Let's show some pictures of this awesome set. The quality is just outstanding.

I didn't think IMSTO's thick PBT was going to feel that nice. This Poker with MX Red and this set is a pleasure to type on.

By the way let's say that as always IMSTO's packages are the best. Nothing arrives damaged or broken even if the box has been beaten up. He put separated keycaps from the set in different zip bags and everything wrapped with buble plastic around.

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #1633 on:** Tue, 19 March 2013, 09:53:35 »

Yes many people have made the complaint about the nubs in the past. Only way to do anything about it would be new mold which would be very expensive. Nice to see all the pictures of the sets on keyboards. I am quite pleased to how they turned out even though I have yet to see them in person myself.

Those Russian dyesubbed look really nice. The legends are thick and quite legible. Btw, why is the new windows logo left aligned?

limmy · « **Reply #1636 on:** Tue, 19 March 2013, 11:34:03 »

I like the left aligned windows key.

When every other keys are left aligned, center legend windows keys are just awkward.

Correct, left align Windows logo for uniformity.

Sorry the replacement keys are taking so long for those that had the mistake on first orders sent. I believe they should be send out to you this week.

Well if that were to happen: Scoops, all the way! Scoops! We are pedantic about the legends, and this is a much more significant difference to the original Cherrys.
Could you do a GB only for scoops or something like that?

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee sorry for the potato pics, I've been working overtime everyday so I get home too late, I'll just post potato pics for now then post better pics with my DSLR on weekend.

So......... blank or blue letter set? Choices.........

Ok blank it is !!!

Lol another question, anyone else have this problem where the inside of enter key grinds with the stabilizer wire?

I took the pic with number pad 0 because I'm too lazy to pry open enter key but it's same idea. Where after I press the end all the way when, when the wire bends 90 degrees the middle part of the stabilizer wire will grind against the inside of the enter key. I had to take a knife and shave off the inside a little bit also swap my stabilizer wire from enter key with my backspace stabilizer wire for it to work properly again. Is it a problem with cherry profile keys or maybe my stabilizer wire is bent ever so slightly?

Zehkul · « **Reply #1647 on:** Tue, 19 March 2013, 22:43:25 »

I’ve got the same problem with my Filco and my Cherry dye subs, especially with the right shift key, it can’t even be pressed down completely. Don’t know about these yet, but I will post about it.

Thick keys are not always better. ;-)

guilleguillaume · « **Reply #1648 on:** Tue, 19 March 2013, 22:50:43 »

I don't use stabilizers on my Poker except for the spacebar so I didn't encounter that problem.

lol yeah I guess those thick cherry profile keycaps was designed before Costar stabilizer were invented. In this case extra thick + lower profile = not enough clearance

Though to be fairly only enter key has this issue, and I manage to fixed it afterwards lol.
