Latest News:
Keys are in Germany and ready for distribution.

Status so far:

Payments - Green indicates full payment received

They are fantastic!
Can't wait...but I'd rather receive all keys at once.
Good Job, Sixty and Uranium!

looking forward to an invoice

The bad news is that Signature Plastics used absolutely random molds and kinda messed up the order a bit. We have legends randomly aligned shifting to the center, not fully centered but almost.... and then we have the random bold shift legend for the left key, while the right one is normal.

Seems they have experimented a bit with the boldness of the font to find out how to make the keys for the MOOGLE kit.
Sorry.

Sorry.

Nope. Actually they fucked up the geekhack keys the same. If you look at the shifts, it has been like this previously on some keys. To quote Melissa:

Your keycaps should not have left
the facility like this, though we do sell these exact same legends to other
customers and have surprisingly not hear any complaints.

how did I miss this group buy? O_o
pming you, sixty.

What's the story on the "star" key? I saw that key on the older model Cherry - what does it do?

hahaha - of course the Geekhack keys kerning problem never got fixed either in 6 rounds. Gotta COMPLAIN!


AND even aligned the fonts at Signature Plastics are butt ugly.

Especially compared to original Cherry Corp Doubleshots

Yes, but you have to remember, selling expensive little plastic things is not their core business.

Wait..

Also I think their website says, "The Customer IS Always Right (except for font and kerning and alignment)".

Their Novelty Keys however are awesome.

Holy smokes! Where was the group buy thread for these?
Please sign me up for a set if available? Or perhaps the next round?

Will I be severely disappointed once I get my geekhack group buy 3 key caps? The alignment is shit.

We'll find out in a month. Or two. Or three.

What's the Cherry Corp Star key for? A German secret organization? We have those.

I bet it has got something to do with the pointer movement. maybe you could adjust mouse speed through that key.

BTW: One month to go!

Or say one month and a week at most.

May be two ...

I love the colors you chose for those, sixty. Can't wait to get mine!

Great pics by 응삼 on OTD.






As you can see, the pics are still from the "error" set with the misaligned legends, but I am still very happy with the outcome.

Those are some good looking keys .

Does those keys work with Ducky keyboard ?

Sad I missed out on this.

Which color is the text of the white key caps?

Looks like Brown/Red, guessing on Red.

Nice, wish there was group buy here.
I cannot even load otd.kr, it's so slow...

There was.

These are Cherry sublimation keys from a NCR board. They are some brownish hue of black. Not my favorite.

lol sorry, just noticed I even posted there asking if there were any left, anyway I was too late.

They are the color of dried BLOOD.

I would have liked it with a "standard" RGB setup like the IBM RGB keycaps. I love the white on red, green and blue, but the yellow keys make it too much and the white on yellow doesn't work as well as the other colors either.

Its all there! The yellow keys are just a bonus. You actually receive:

2x Red CTRL
2x Blue ALT
2x Yellow CTRL
2x Yellow Special Key
2x Green Shift

Looking nice, can't wait to receive them!

Everything has been sorted and arranged. Distribution will start the upcoming week after payments have been received.

Invoices going out tomorrow. This will also determine how many sets will be left over. So if you missed out, your chance is now coming tomorrow, if anyone jumps out.
