Is the ISO not only for JP?
There is a mention to 108 keys...

This is 104 key version, I don't have 108 key version

EDIT: sorry I was mistaken, the JP has ISO enter layout. So this GB doesn't offer ISO layout

[stoic-lemon]

I didn't realize how reasonably priced these were here. I think I will get a set soon.

[ key and ] key are upside-down and reversed in first pic of OP. 

IMPOTANT : Stabilizer clips are glued. We can't separate them from keycap. (Maybe we don't need to do this.)

Should probably include this in the op

[Elrick]

Very interested in filling some of my Filco's with some cheap keysets.

Thanks for organizing this buddy  .

I forgot to mention about key profiles.

Keycaps are made by Signature Plastics.
Esc and tilde rows are SP's SA row 2.
Tab, Caps Lock, Shift and bottom rows are SP's SA row 3 .

Please be careful with profile if you mix with other SA keycaps (e.g. from Round 4)

[Belfong]

Why do this when there is Round 5 and Penumbra, both are same SA profile.

[HendyZone]

Why do this when there is Round 5 and Penumbra, both are same SA profile.

but this is so cheap )

[IPT]

Its pretty much 1:1 aud:USD right? Maybe I'm missing where a full set at close to $100 shipped is cheap. Cheap would be the taobao ones lol

[jdcarpe]

Some people like white on black keycaps. They go well with just about any color keyboard case. And there is no waiting for these to be manufactured.

Also, R5 has no HONEY/ALPHA/BLACK, so this is your only option for an all-black set.

Its pretty much 1:1 aud:USD right? Maybe I'm missing where a full set at close to $100 shipped is cheap. Cheap would be the taobao ones lol

Depends on what your definition of cheap is. I feel that ~$100 is pretty much standard for a full set. Neither cheap nor expensive.

[SpAmRaY]

So these are only good for costar stabilizers right?

[HendyZone]

So these are only good for costar stabilizers right?

since for the large key stabilizer insert are glued, so yes good for costar
so no need plastic on stab for SP keycap right )

[jdcarpe]

So these are only good for costar stabilizers right?

You could probably break the stabilizer inserts out of the keycaps, even if they are glued.

so no need plastic on stab for SP keycap right )

wut?

[Glod]

damn these things look so nice and clean looking, font isn't wacky. Sure i like the themed sets but like JD said, black goes with just about every case color and not everything has to be all flashy.

hopefully i can put together the money.

[tmk1207]

Price about 65$ in Vietnam

I guess the color is TAA.
Only keycaps, it looks like black. On Majestouch 2 Black case, it looks a little different from the black.

Yes. FILCO says

This part cannot be removed.
There is a possibility that the parts may be damaged as shown in the picture right when you try to pry. Please never stop.

Try it! For science!

am i the only one who when putting keys on my filco put the stabilizer tabs in the wires then press down the key ala cherry stabilizers?

[blighty]

I'm a fan of this keyset, but I'm curious why you are only accepting gift payments?

[berserkfan]

He probably means Paypal Fee, not Paypal Gift Fee.

yes, I do mean paypal fee

[SpAmRaY]

Why would there be a fee if paying by paypal gift?? The buyer pays that by default....that makes no sense to charge for it again.

If you mean paying the paypal fees because people are paying as goods then that makes sense.

Sorry for the confusion, I meant 3.41% on top of total sum with Paying as Goods option

[ggnarsil]

well do you have physical store in Sydney at the moment? If possible I'd like to visit ur store cz I live in Sydney XD

[Elrick]

Just paid for ONE set (order test to see if this is legitimate) so as soon as it arrives at my address I'll let everyone know about the quality and standard finish of these keysets  .

[joneslee85]

Sorry I am not a vendor. If you want to order, please place it now, there won't be any shipping cost if you pick up within CBD.

[joneslee85]

what I mean is payment as GIFT, I updated the term

[tinlong117]

Sorry about that.

[joneslee85]

NEVER EVER SEND YOUR PAYMENT AS GIFT WHEN YOURE BUYING SOMETHING, THATS MEAN YOU CANT REQUEST A REFUND!

MOREOVER, THE SELLER'S PAYPAL ACCOUNT WILL BE GET LOCK EASILY BECAUSE OF A LARGE AMOUNT OF GIFT PAYMENT.

BEWARE OF IT!

I hate to say this, can you please write in lower case. This is quite rude of you. I've been asking the customer to add 3.41% rate as GOODS payment, however many people find it so confusing, thus I changed to this.

Yes, many people PM me and were confused about the 3.41% rate I mention before. So I put it there to make sure people are aware of it. And yes, at least reply with proper message. It seems to me you are to say that I am running a scam or something here. Very rude, don't have you a proper manner?

[Elrick]

It seems to me you are to say that I am running a scam or something here. Very rude, don't have you a proper manner?

It's just you are a newcomer here on Geekhack hence people here are very cagey and insecure about trusting you.  There have been rip-offs in the past so 100% trust has to be earned rather than expected when it comes to organizing Group Buys here.

Don't feel offended because that's just human nature, once you have conducted a successful "Group Buy", then expect more people to flock to you to get more goods.   But if it turns nasty then this place can be quite horrid for the corrupt and dirty.  Just be aware of that  .

But I'm willing to be the "Canary" in a Coalmine here, to see if this Group Buy becomes successful and help you establish some legitimacy here on Geekhack.

I am fully aware of scam are everywhere but again I do not condone his agressive tounge

[Elrick]

Then you should watch out for another member here that loves using "CAPITALS" (microsoft windows - bless him) when it comes to communicating with everyone.

It doesn't offend me at all because some people are comfortable to leave their Caps Lock on 100% of the time.

[Moomoo]

I wish it had a Tsagan kit to it

[joneslee85]

I wish it had a Tsagan kit to it

very unlikely taking into the fact that the only target Filco products. Maybe another GB idea?

[Ar3s]

Hi TS, can't access the order form. I'll like to give this GB a try. Great pricing compared to what i found elsewhere.
