US -- Blue White Black *harrowing tale from EnjoyPBT on the birth of the colourway: [more]
*This Blue White Black colourway was originally specially ordered by a certain international Group Buy website/company for their own GB. They had promised ~2000 sets, and had EnjoyPBT custom mold the colourway for their GB as floating stock and sample/prototypes.
The company took samples from EnjoyPBT to open the GB, but did not return to commit to their order after they ended their GB. Hence, EnjoyPBT has a massive overstock of the Blue White Black colourway blank sets, and hence opened it for GB on GH to clear as much as they can.[/more]

I had the opportunity to play around with some Gateron blank PBT key caps in Cherry Profile!

Each set is a single color and includes the following:

These caps are awesome, I have the blank ones. Really great quality. Not quite Cherry PBT, but pretty damn good. I'd get a dyesub set if I didn't already have the real thing.

Gotta get a cyan/pink KR set, and perhaps a Purple set as well.

Hope the issue with Matt3o's colorway will get sorted though.

Wah wah wah, Gateron made a prototype and Massdrop didn't go through with it or got a better deal elsewhere.

Awesome didnt know they had ISO enters, do they have the \ key also that goes next to the ISO enter?

Ohh nice. I need to hear from my Taobao proxy, it might take a while. They are all blank in different colours. No 1.25u shift though.

who cares about 1.25 shift, hook us up with some row 3 |\ 1u keys.

Actually I have to admit that 1.25u shifts are a dismiss from this GB to me also :/

That was Ivan's green/US International set (and I agree it looks awesome), but I'm not sure the same will be offered in Shadovved's GB.

indeed, Shadovved's green it's only one color (without secondary legends) :)

Of course. If we are unable to hit the MOQ, we will revert back to the original USD$75 for pure ANSI sets, and then I can cancel orders for people who just want the ISO.

And now make the same poll here, on DT.
I for example would order some otaku keycaps if there were an ISO option.

Would it be cheaper if there would be an ISO option only for the otaku keycaps and not the dye subbed ones?

I have read the IMSTO dye subs have nicer legends than those Gaterons? What I really don't like are blurry and unsharp legends. Of course they are not as sharp as double shots, but they can be OK. I think that light cyan or blue looks on some pictures I saw horrible.

So gateron has the ISO enter, but not the 1,25 shift? Do they need to make a new mold?

User avatar

17 Jan 2016, 20:47

Surely the 1.25u shift would be the same profile as the 1.25u B-profile mods? Is that not the case?

It's not clear to me why the molds costs $5'000.... is it for the enter key, or is it for the shift, because I've already seen those keys in a gateron set... maybe the weren't made by gateron? this would give us much freedom in the future.

From what I could gather, The mold for the ISO Enter belongs to IMSTO, in the past gateron had to ask imsto permission to use the molds, or pay him to do so.

that's quite strange, taking into account that IMSTO doesn't even offer ISO Enter in his sets :/
also from what I know, IMSTO doesn't produce caps... he just buys BSP/Vortex/Gateron/etc caps and offer his dyesub services to make the sets.

I was convinced Gateron had their own ISO mold when I saw this on Taobao: http://world.taobao.com/item/5209565242 ... .16.gA1cVi

Shadovved:
Firstly, this is equivalent to us purchasing a set of fresh molds, hence we will have rights to use the current mold as and when we wish, as well as define our own custom ISO kit components (if unavailable, new ones would be made).

Hence current and future ISO kits will be less than $10 a set.

Secondly, imsto would not readily agree to us using his molds as he solely controls the supply, and to provide to us at whatever price he deems fit.

If he chooses to offer ISO kits for $15-20/set per round of GB, I would rather we bite the bullet as a community for the mold and reduce the cost by a substantial amount than repeatedly pay extravagant charges for the kits just because we do not have rights to the mold.


EDIT: To clarify, I don't need every full set to come with an ISO kit. I just need a substantial amount purchased so reduce the cost across the board. Mold costs $5000, and per ISO set after the mold is expected to be around $8-10 depending on what is in the kits.

So if I have 100 ISO kits purchased, average cost would be $58/set of ISO.

$33 for 200 kits, $25 for 300 kits, etc.
It does not make sense, but that is the info I could get :/
