Any Germans here interested in splitting shipping costs from the US?

Would it be possible for you to add a small ISO kit? This should contain:
1.25 small shift and one blank key for Row 4/B
and one blank key for row 3/C
This would make it possible to use most of the sets on ISO-boards.

Have you read the OP?

Everything you ask for is actually there. Some sets come with an ISO option - you get all the extra keys except for the ISO Enter.

I've read the posting, but I use US layout on ISO-keyboards. I don't want to buy a ISO set just for 3 keycaps.

This buy is primarily focused on full sets. Smaller sets and adapter packs is more something I will be doing with GMK stuff.

I see various different tints on the 'white' of the mockups: is that representative or do all sets have the same base colors?

All set have the same keycap colors unless specifically stated otherwise, just me failing at making uniform mock ups.

everyone ask for and order the missing morocco arabic dyesub set

The scaninavian one is tempting, but my lack of funds and the multicoloured non alpha keys is bit off putting... Good luck on this one though!

Those being protected trademarks, I would suggest informing yourself about trademark infringement
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trademark ... ing_rights
and about who can be held responsible - and liable:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary ... _liability

Indeed, although I've seen plenty of Cherries on caps, Apple's about as tight on IP as it is possible to be. Only expect to get away with it in China!

When I saw this GB I though "ok, I'm out, I have already enough keysets". Today I've just make an order of 2 sets and several novelty keys and thinking having a blank one would be quite nice

Is it possible to add a 1.25-Shift to the RGB kit?

Fantastic selection, just nothing that suits my UK layout (not that that's a bad thing! load of other people will get access to great sets)

Is there really no way for B 1x1 single keycaps? Because, technically they are feasable, aren't they?

I am not concern with the trademark, nor will be the Chinese factory printing them.

I will see about the ISO version RGB and B row singles. If not this time I will try to make it available next time.

did they improve their printing? I had the impression letters were less sharp (from an earlier imto gb).
or does it depend on colour?

Dyesub will always have a bit of soft edge but I was quite satisfied with the printing quality from last round. Looks as good as old Cherry dyesub to me. End result has a lot to do with the file quality that is given. I make my legend quite large so they have to shrink it down which results in a much crisper print.

from the rgb pic they look quite perfect

Unfortunately, what counts in law is not one's individual impression or feeling, but clear anlysis of the facts.

Here the factory where they are printed manufactures and sells them, thus making profit out of the protected trademark. That is clearly a commercial use of the trademarks, and that is clearly sufficient for a lawsuit (with claims for damages not limited to the actual monetary loss, but including e.g. trademark dilution).

Cherry, Microsoft and/or Apple may not be willing to sue a Chinese factory, but they don't need to because even if the GB organizer or the buyers do not make profit themselves, they are secondary infringers and as such may be held liable.

I do believe that despite my feeling this way it should make an actual difference whether you fulfill a customer order or are producing your counterfeit merchandise.
Facts change with the perspective.

Those who without the trademark owner's consentment print a protected trademark on products they are going to sell, no matter whether they do it on their own initiative or on customer order, infringe trademark rights. Period.

The point is that the trademark owner can choose whom he is going to sue amidst all those who concurred to the infrigement.
If it were me, you bet it is not the Chinese factory I would sue

Who is making these?

Please offer also spacebars and capslock individualy ivan, I want an el cheapo moogle for my SAD set...

My 2 cents

Not impressed by that multicoloured Nordic set. That set is too messy.

It's my fave! If I had to have on be UK ISO it be that one. We don't have many altgr charas so would look a lot more boring...
