Aren't they the same ones offer over at OCN through Tankguys site? Here's the link.

reaper · « **Reply #1 on:** Mon, 30 May 2011, 12:10:19 »

Oh ok, in that case, I bought mine since last week. I would've PM'd you about it but you never answer any PM so... =D

Haes · « **Reply #2 on:** Mon, 30 May 2011, 12:10:31 »

Price is awesome, but it's kinda sad, that they don't offer ISO layout too...

looserboy · « **Reply #3 on:** Mon, 30 May 2011, 12:38:21 »

do someone have a threadlink or information sheet wich keycaps are fitting on what keyboard? would be quiet informative for noobs like me.
because after i will buy a filco, das or whatever cherry, it would be cool to buy some keycaps like these.

and international shipment would be great ; in germany and whole europe its a damn mess to find keycaps sets like this^^

BiNiaRiS · « **Reply #4 on:** Mon, 30 May 2011, 14:18:51 »

These will fit Ducky, Das, and Filco? Anything else?

Rosewill for sure. I think Steelseries, Razer and other ANSI layouts except the spacebar.

Pretty easy to tell by just looking at your keyboard, maybe pulling a few of the larger keys, and comparing with the Filco entry in the Key Reference.

How about the ML87? Been eying one but don't own one to compare.

Do they fit the poker keyboard?

Oops. Why is the post title ArmyGroup? TankGuys is different. Military on the mind.

Wish the OP could change post titles at Geekhack.

You can edit your thread title... Hit edit post, hit go advanced.

Yep - see the result?

Oh neat.. works right until someone else posts in your thread... then it don't work right.

twn2 · « **Reply #9 on:** Mon, 30 May 2011, 14:49:13 »

Surprised that this is cheaper than Taiwan if you bought more than one set. Ducky productions are usually cheaper in Taiwan actually.

Black on black
It is NT1290 = $45. Tankguys have $35+$11 shipped to me.
But if buying more than one set to reduce the shipping per set, than Tankguys become a way cheaper!!

However, they also provide white on white, which I don't see in Tankguys.

up, anyone knows? spacebar is different?

ethics- · « **Reply #13 on:** Mon, 30 May 2011, 17:49:02 »

Just to confirm, these will fit a Filco? Also, what do they mean by "Overclock.net branded!"? I don't see any OCN markings on the picture.

And what's the difference between these and the engraved ones that imsto is selling?

BababooeyHTJ · « **Reply #14 on:** Mon, 30 May 2011, 18:34:53 »

Damn, I can't decide between the inkfilled or and the engraved. I'm leaning towards the inkfilled.

I would love the white keys with black lettering.

BiNiaRiS · « **Reply #15 on:** Mon, 30 May 2011, 18:56:20 »

everything i've seen says yes they will fit filcos. but no one will tell me if all the keys will fit a ML87.

also, take a look at the OCN keyboards they have for sale. id assume the spacebar has the OCN branding on it.

BababooeyHTJ · « **Reply #16 on:** Mon, 30 May 2011, 19:01:12 »

Apparently there was a mistake so these keycap sets don't have the OCN branding, thankfully.

Wish they had white ones

False_Dmitry_II · « **Reply #19 on:** Mon, 30 May 2011, 21:50:51 »

So are these functionally the same as the group buy ones?

Is it possible to get a colored matching engraved wasd cluster?

reaper · « **Reply #20 on:** Mon, 30 May 2011, 22:27:47 »

^ I'm afraid they (Tankguys site) only have 2 choices. One is black on black PBT the ripster posted and the other is supposedly white on black but it looks more like tan color (link).

False_Dmitry_II · « **Reply #21 on:** Tue, 31 May 2011, 00:55:24 »

I already saw that. As far as that goes, I was just wondering if such a thing existed in general. Because I would have had the same question about the ones from the group buy.

dreamingftw · « **Reply #22 on:** Tue, 31 May 2011, 01:42:26 »

thanks... just ordered a black on black for my filco cherry blues.

twn2 · « **Reply #23 on:** Tue, 31 May 2011, 07:05:22 »

Yeah, I woulda preferred the White on White - these are more for backup.

Some people bought the white on white and found that the space bar has bended problem.

http://ppt.cc/@ljO

I don't know if the black on black also has this problem. Probably someone who bought the black on black can do the check.

Moreover, it was said that these keycaps are not for mass production. Although I don't know how many sets they produced or if they will keep producing this or not.

dreamingftw · « **Reply #24 on:** Tue, 31 May 2011, 12:44:10 »

made the purchase yesterday but the site wont even come up anymore. Anyone else with the same problems?

ethics- · « **Reply #25 on:** Tue, 31 May 2011, 13:02:57 »

Doesn't OCN always do their Ducky sales through that site? Shouldn't be a legitimacy problem.

dreamingftw · « **Reply #26 on:** Tue, 31 May 2011, 13:07:25 »

You got tracking already? That's quick. I only got an order confirmation. Site does look legit though so here's to hoping they ship out.

ethics- · « **Reply #27 on:** Tue, 31 May 2011, 13:09:01 »

Yeah, I only got an order confirmation, too. Shouldn't be a problem.

Site is down now.

Well, I got a tracking number so I assume the site is legit. Is OCN based in Nigeria?

No wonder I couldn't get in to order a set of blank keys. Must wait patiently :yawn:

noodles256 · « **Reply #29 on:** Tue, 31 May 2011, 14:39:30 »

Yea, the site has been down for quite some time. I tried logging on to at least look the caps with no avail

alaricljs · « **Reply #30 on:** Tue, 31 May 2011, 14:59:38 »

Tankguys has been around for quite some time. It's basically a one man show tho so sometimes when the site gets knocked out by something it takes a while to get fixed.

Razer uses 1.0 and 1.5 modifier. So they don't entirely...

ambroise · « **Reply #32 on:** Tue, 31 May 2011, 16:26:27 »

The site is back up. I just ordered a set of black on black and white on black.

mmmty · « **Reply #33 on:** Tue, 31 May 2011, 16:52:33 »

Woohoo!! Finally... I ordered a set of black on black. $11.54 shipping is kindda steep though.

Oops! black on black just went out of stock. Guess I got the last one - sorry guys.

Crypt · « **Reply #34 on:** Tue, 31 May 2011, 17:15:32 »

These were really tempting, but I couldn't pull the trigger. Full blanks are just way more beautiful, IMO. Hopefully, these will be the regular prices. Paying $70 for keycaps is a bit overboard for me. O_o

dreamingftw · « **Reply #35 on:** Tue, 31 May 2011, 19:00:22 »

these ended up being a good deal for me. the MO group buy for the engraved ones would have been about 65 for me. I had to pull the trigger at $47. I probably would have regretted it if I didn't.

curzen · « **Reply #36 on:** Tue, 31 May 2011, 21:11:50 »

I kinda really want these, but the wife is ok with me blowing some money on decent headphones now after the (her) cat chewed through the cable of my crappy sennheisers a while ago. Thinking about ordering some Sony MDR V6. So I don't want to overextend her good will and will abstain from buying some of these keycaps for now.

ambroise · « **Reply #42 on:** Fri, 03 June 2011, 02:41:06 »

Tracking No. doesn't show any on FedEx probably because seller entered the stuff but packages haven't been picked up yet. That would be my guess.

I'm in the same situation as well.

aww i had them delivered to my office which is closed over the weekend. hope they deliver them on monday.

oddsratio · « **Reply #49 on:** Sun, 05 June 2011, 14:39:04 »

So I got mine last night; they look great. I'm a little confused though. Did they intentionally pack these without the plastic inserts for the keys that need stabilizers? I transferred the ones from my spacebar, because it was the only large key that really needed it for now.
