Well, sorry, I don't know, but if you happen to find them and then want to get rid of the old keycaps, je suis preneur

There will be a group buy happen within the next few months, which will include country specific layouts in different color schemes.

What do you like to have?

To be honest, I'm trying to figure out what would be nice looking on a white G80-3000 base. Maybe a mix of some colors. I'm trying to find different layout pictures on internet to get a better idea.

Do you already have a few color schemes in mind talking about your group buy?

There will be at least a White on Black and an Orange on Black kit available.

These where already on the list for the last group buy, but did not make it because there was not enough demand (I've made the mistake to offer these at a higher price than the grey/black (a/k/a Dolch-scheme) standard kit). This time, all these standard kits will be offered at the same price.

Further color-schemes on my list are:
Black on White, Red on White and White on Red.

For all those color schemes, there will be keys available to cover the whole keyboard plus some extra kits, including language specific keys (like French layout).

white letters on red keys (if that's the meaning of White on Red) and white letters on black keys would be interesting for instance. But I don't have any idea of a price range...

In the last group buy, the standard kit costs $42 including space bar and some extra keys to cover most keryboards (Filco, Cherry G80-3000 etc.) Maybe, due to a lower quantity it will be around $50 in the next group buy. Shipping costs to Europe are $14. The french kit is at $15 and will cost not much more in the next round. So, total will be less than 60 EUR!

So it would fit different keyboard brands?
Black on red would be nice as well btw.

I'm more than interested.

It will fit: Ducky, Filco, Cherry and many more ..
The only issues will be with the space bars of the No Poo and Leopold keyboards.

I will set up a poll to find out which colors are prefered.

So these keycaps are compatible with Noppoo Choc Mini as well?

All except the space bar. The manufacturer of the key caps has got no tools to make that specific space bar.

You can have the Double Rainbow in Round 4.

This is to be called the Lasered Rainbow!

Bwahaha. You said "gay". At Geekhack that means I get to post another Glee video. It's like a drinking game.

Do not. I repeat DO NOT.

Sure you can! I plan to contact everyone who had not yet paid by the end of next week (email only!). If I get no response or payment within another week, some kits will be available for sale again!

The thread is not at deskthroating.net but at a different, evil site, which goes by the name of geekgack.org .

If you don't find it anymore, just look after the largest thread, or ask around. The natives will show you the way ...
