New keycaps from KBDMania

[Grond]

I'm also loving the green color scheme. The font and positioning, not so much.

[Findecanor]

I think the font is great. I really dislike it when the font is too big, such as on modern Cherry keyboards.

I think that the legends could have been a bit more consistent. <Backspace>, right <Alt> and right <Ctrl> could have been right-justified. Right <Shift> could have had the arrow symbol to the left. All keys on the function row could have had the text centred both vertically and horizontally. The 1.5 wide <Control> key could have had the full word "Control" instead of the abbreviation.

I really like the legend placement and sizing on those keys, it looks classy and clean. The colouring on the dark grey/navy (hard to tell) reminds me of an IBM board I used to have.

Does not look that clean to me!

top-left, bottom-left, buttom-right.

The designer obviously did not know what he wanted.



The design should be more consitent:
Return and Shift right have the labels right (an attempt to have some symmetry?), but right Alt and Control are at the left.
The 6 cursor movement keys could be considered function key and should be bottom-left.

Tab has the symbols to the right, shift to the left ....

But nice font and color-scheme.

yes, on closer inspection, i get what you mean. however, i don't like centred legends, but do like the though of the left hand modifiers having legends on the left bottom, righthand modifiers on the right bottom.

i'm also not a fan of the long legend on the enter key.

Where do you get those metallic cherry logo stickers?

Where do you get those metallic cherry logo stickers?

laser cut aluminium foil i think
quite expensive...
i planned to get a cutter plotter machine to get some (metallic stickers).

i agree for the layout, it looks good at first sight but some problems arose at the second one
This may be an issue for non touch typists.
QC not so good my friend !

Color scheme is very nice.

I hope google is not wrong, don't want to say something bad

[amasokin]

I'm not a big fan of the white on green, but the green on white makes me throwing money at my screen so I can get them right now. Epic design.

I'm so jealous of these custom Korean keyboards. I especially like the green/white keycaps. Where is the shamrock at?!

[Taeyoung]

@Webwit and guilleguillaume,
Nice try! and looks like you guys have an aptitude for Korean.

[Taeyoung]

Where do you get those metallic cherry logo stickers?

Fortunately, I can make an order for any design of metallic stickers here in Korea.

As I remember, the stickers are roughly priced at $10 each each except for the shipping and handling fee.

[Taeyoung]

sorry.. duplicated post.

[kaiserreich]

Group Buy!
But $10 aint cheap for a sticker

[Half-Saint]

No, but I still want some

[itlnstln]

I wonder if it's $10 per sticker or $10 for the whole sheet. I would hope it's for the whole sheet.

[kbdfr]

I guess I'm somewhat old-fashioned, but I dislike people making money using others' intellectual property.
The logo no doubt is the property of Cherry Corp. and not something you can use as you like for commercial purposes.

[ripster]

Wow. That is old fashioned.

That is of course $10 per sheet but not per sticker.

[kbdfr]

Still it's stolen stuff.

[Taeyoung]

Still it's stolen stuff.

Hmmm... What do you mean by that?

I mean what I wrote a few days ago:

Here someone takes advantage of the reputation Cherry has acquired over decades through high-cost quality manufacturing, marketing and advertising investment.
I wonder how you would feel if you were to start your own business, be successful with it, and see opportunists printing and selling for their own profit labels with the logo which constitutes your distinctive trademark.

Besides, the Cherry logo no doubt is protected by copyright laws, and infringement could prove to be very expensive - not only for the seller, but also for buyers.

^ feel free to open a new thread regarding copyrights, good and evil. This is out of topic

Sorry not to share your views.
When I see a thief grabbing for a wallet, I don't just turn away and ask my neighbours afterwards what they think about theft.

[webwit]

Somehow you started to think this is a commercial thing, instead of a non-profit enthusiast group buy. Wake me when these are sold for profit by commercial shops. Until then, nothing to see here, please move along.

I think in this special case, the gain is larger than the loss for cherry.
while on one hand they use a trademarked/copyrighted Brand/Logo for their own gain, cherry themselves don't sell stickers and it raises brand awareness wich is also good for cherry.
