elton5354 ran two group buys in 2013 for Tai-Hao TI series double-shot keycaps.
Tai-Hao 110 coloured double-shot set group buy
This group buy was for full sets of US ANSI keycaps in five colours: black, red, dark blue, yellow, and deep green.
The group buy comprised 101 printed keycaps, plus 9 blank keycaps. The only printed modifiers were 1.25-unit left and right alt and control, combined with a 7-unit space bar. To accommodate keyboards with varying counts and sizes of modifier keys, the following extra blank keycaps were included as standard, bringing the total to 110 keycaps:
- 2 × 1-unit blank
- 3 × 1.25-unit blank
- 4 × 1.5- unit blank
At the time, Tai-Hao only offered the Windows key pad-printed, for an extra fee, and this option was not taken up. The common 6.25 unit space bar was not included, and a separate group buy was introduced and run in parallel for this.
