I've finally got these two types of keycaps

Graphite : 88keys ( 2 capslocks )






Green and Cream Cheese : 88keys ( 2 capslocks )

green on white looks great

The green and white looks fantastic!
By god though, you *must* fix the skewiff Cherry logo as it's making my OCD flare up.

I love that green and white, but I think that it looks best on a white keyboard.

the gray\darker gray set looks awesome.

Nobody sees the new font design.

I wonder if this is a secret SP font, or something new ...

New arrows?

Taeyoung you really need to start a group buy here for the group buy in KBDMania/OTD

They look amazing, both those sets, I remember David from iomania posting pictures of these a few months back

interesting, 2 different Windows keys. Also, Print Screen and Pause has front letters. Are the front letters double shot too?

David started a group buy over at kbdmania or something like that.
Based on my trusty google translator, fonts are graphics, setup fee $10 per key.

I like the details they give in the korean group buys. Everything is broken down and you know what you pay for.

There was an order thread but I don't know where that went, this is the interest check thread I think.

They even organized a sorting party for the keycaps

Wonder if this was commissioned to SP also

No, they are printed.

These are from SP.

Look at the line of the Return arrow.

Good eye 7bit ;D

SP gets love from everyone around the world haha

I followed the link and saw that they used custom legends and had only to pay $10 per legend instead of $25. Seems the price for these gets down quite a bit when there are more of them.

So a different font is not so much out of reach as I've thought.

85 custom legends lol

How many custom legends are there in the GB4?

7Bit, If we were to use the same custom legends as them would we have to pay the legend fee again? A little confused as to how SP works their pricing.

I'd buy one of those graphite sets. If only SP didn't have those sprue marks on the front of their keys.

that made me laugh hahahhaa

My mistake.
SP does indeed have the sprue marks at the front of the caps.
I got them mixed up with the the other type of keycaps

My Topre Lavender WASD has a sprue mark inside the keycap, that should fit your requirements

Only a few.
There are:
GLIDER, TUX, GNOME, BSD,COMMODORE, LOTUS,
COMMAND, DTESC, HANDBAG, BACKSPACE,
ARROWUP,ARROWDOWN, ARROWRET,MARROWUP,MARROWDN,
CARROWS (4 keys), AWESOME,KBDRUNNER, KEYBOARD,
PIRATEFLAG, TAPEDRIVE,L OD, VIM

25.

No, only once. Except it will be placed on a new key (like 1.5 units instead of 1.25 units).

The only question is, will KBDMania allow us to use their work?

retro with this exact legend (+ maybe nonalternating function row) <3

Wow, you have amazing insight about keycaps.
Those were from SP and the front letters are printed other than double shot.
It cost $10 per legend.

Here are winkey-less option sets.

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.

Totally awesome! Green ones remind me of german police cars

\krstf

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.

the green looks awsome.
