Got these today, its the set that everyone loves and that is being shamelessly copied over at geekhack again. I'll post some pics on keyboards later. I received the full set including all extras (1800 shift, winkeys, center stem caps, stepped caps, 1.5 sized control/alt/shift rgbs, etc....)

Edit: My explanation of the name is actually wrong and I will be fixing it later, Cal was right after all

Some impressions from unboxingbagging.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery ?

wyse --> otd --> gh =)

It's webwit blue (the house style color of my business). Looks great on white. I think they decided well to not return them, but now they should get new Alts to match the light blue.

these are surprising good looking. i would have never thought

Hmm you sure about the name's origin? I've heard differently...but not important.

Yeah, this is the one I have been told. What did you hear?

Is it possible to get a german layout keyset of this?

Well if you've been told that way, I believe that's the "official" term they're going with apparently. So be it. Not my place to go against it.

Now it's gnawning at me and I will have to stay up without sleep all night, pondering what it might be. I demand to know it!

Those Keycaps look very nice Sixty!

Didn't know there was a MO from the guys on OTD and that you were in. You always end up having the most beautiful keycaps

BTW nice addon the Pictures near the Main forum ;D

They're awesome keys... Thats why I organized the group buy for them. Sadly we all can't easily access/read OTD, so this is our only option... Shamelessly copying the keys as you say...

I know. I was just teasing anyway

Ok.

Man those keys look so nice. Thanks for the pics!

nice indeed

I wonder why you don't share such mass order, Will it be too much complicated ?

No, no, GH doesn't copy, it just does it bigger.

If 7bit runs his scripts, there'll be spinoffs in a bunch of languages nobody would think about making on any other forum.

The world is changing. The USA, where they copy things from Asia, because they have no ideas of their own. Or was it because too many people had too many ideas?

I'd like a version with all keys in white (or is it gray?) and light blue even more. Less is more, etc.

This is called SOWARE on OTD.
Here is my FC200R Tenkeyless of Leopold with SOWARA.

Sorry no language options...

i hate this i never get these nice keycaps for my filco majestouch 2 german layout *cry*

Start a German group buy!

i dont know anything about group buys and i cant read these asian pages

You don't have to, they buy from here:
http://www.keycapsdirect.com/
Mail them for a quote of that set in German layout for different quantities.
Then use the German subforum here to check interest and find buyers and point to it on hardware/keyboard forums elsewhere where you think there's interest, and voila, you've got yourself a groupbuy.
So it depends how much effort you want to put in it and if you want to make it happen and distribute, or wait for someone else who might never come.

good chance id be in for a german group buy.

I think the best would be to make a English (UK ?) ISO base-set and then a 'language-pack',
like the 'Nordic-kit' at *that other site* ..

Looks like we do have a few germans interested, I will inquire about a german set.

oh thats very nice to hear zaerst

what about italian

The group buy on geekhack starts:

I hope the german price will not be to expansive
