{GB} Clear Switch Covers ($0.20/ea) SOLD OUT

[Asininity]

I'm interested in both a blank whites and clear switch covers. Do they offer other colors, like red?

Probably they have to custom. But that could be an option for v2, after we have built a relationship with the manufacturer.

[pichu23]

Heya, just wondering if the clear switch covers are of a transparent finish or like a matte like finish?
I saw the link and it looks exactly like the abostudio ones but I saw some gateron switches have tops like the old nixdorf switches.
Would it be the clear one then I assume?

It's not the milky one, it's the transparent clear ones.

What's the word on ISO?

Go ANSI


Seriously, trolls aside, I did it and I don't regret. You have so many keycaps choices now and it is not that hard to accommodate as I would have thought at first.

But but but.... What about all my ISO-boards? I wish the whole world had one standard... Since you know, standard means you have one general way of doing things.
ANSI and fifteen thousand versions of ISO is stupid.

It does seem that with a lot of GB/IC (and I've only been here 5 minutes) the question of ISO is raised, there seems to be a demand for it and and it gets overlooked even on blank keys. Maybe switching standard is the way to go, but seems a shame. Hey Shadovved, how many sets are to be produced by GMK to achieve $31 a set?

This is not GMK, this is thick pbt. You would probably need about a million sets to get a 31$ price point for a GMK set.

I got confused, substitute "GMK" for "the company what makes thick plastic PBT keys"

When are you gonna charge the accounts? The answer may be somewhere already, just to busy, as in lazy, to read the entire thread. )

I'll charge you guys around 1 week before the end date, so I can reduce the delay for the turnaround time. And this way you guys can have slightly more time to pay.

[Shadovved]

Ordered 300,will there be a cheaper price after a certain amount?

It could, but this price is from the projected numbers from the IC + around 20%.

If we exceed the number by really a lot, we could push it down slightly (it's in cents already)

Yeah, just wondering, because I can buy 200 of these for the price of 100 that I got off of taobao.

Yea, that's the benefits of going direct to the factory. You cut out the margins for middlemen after middlemen )

[ghostjuggernaut]

In for 200. Thanks Shadovved.

PBT Blanks still on?

I will define how many covers and switches I need to set the orders.

[Shadovved]

PBT Blanks still on?

Nope. Not now. Probably run it in another few months, allow some time between the previous PBT buy?

I've never changed a switch top. What should I expect?

[sethk_]

I've never changed a switch top. What should I expect?

It is stupidly simple. You need a small flathead screwdriver, and a little bit of length to your fingernails, and thats it, as long as the switches are out of the board. If your board supports switch top removal, I do it by sticking the flathead and pushing out, and lifting up each side.

[Shadovved]

Expect to use Beast's switch toos and swap the switches. Time to practice, padawan.

[Cottonsox]

in for 250!

[limitz]

I've been waiting for another source of clear switch tops. Interested!

Heard the abostudio ones have longevity issues, hopefully this one is more hardy.

Will post more pics when I get them!

They're total ****.

I've removed countless keycaps with no issues. Used Abostudios clear covers, and on a single board, 2 keys sheared clear from the top while removing a key. Both keys had to be desoldered/resoldered.

I was extremely careful in removing and was extremely slow in wiggling the keys off, didn't matter though.

Apparently these are much better, the people who have gotten some could chip in

I hope the ones I got from TB are quality, or at least better than those ones that break. Since these seem to be good ones though, I am excited for that.

They will be here within a day or two. They actually went from New Jersey, to New York, which is kind of weird. I hadn't bothered inquiring about the tracking info, but they shipped from China on the 7th, and I got the tracking number a day or two ago. I am happy I ordered before they all took a break.

Hwood is. But the billing and fulfilment will be via the great Shadovved Inc. )

So shipping is counted one time for both buys. I'll do the necessary edits at the end of the GB.

PM me regarding order changes

Got it!!!

Thx dudes!
