to me at the price they are going cherry dyesubs are like unicorn poop.
in some ways desirable, in other ways...not worth it (to me)

edited out the rest, maybe i was a little over the top.

Move it to The Ultimate Flame Topic. Could be entertaining.

By the way, you should switch to IBM.

the reason i said cherry dyesubs


oh and...

I move? NO! YOU MOVE

(move this please, oh great admin)

I much prefer the Cherry dyesubs to the IBM ones. Much better feeling. IBM ones are too unstable and different on like every batch I tried.

Keycaps for me:

1) Topre PBT
2) Cherry PBT
3) IBM
4) Cherry ABS

and then its all the same after that.

Also I totally agree that they are not worth $300 a set though. Must be just the rarity by now. Funny story is that Cherry apparently thought their dyesub keys were worse than their abs double shots, since they have been exclusively used in the G81 line, with a very few exceptions.

The KBC folks seem to have problems with PBT dyesub too. Best described as "Gray On White", not "Black On White".

the last set went for 435$...


maybe I should sell my g81-3000 sau while this insanity lasts. but then...im just not that low -.-

My conclusion is the Koreans will buy anything.

Those are the keycaps from imsto?

You are spreading misinformation. Those are lasered.

That's what I thought

Quoting images FTW.

IMO Cherry dyesubs aren't worth the prices they're going for at all. Still waiting for KBC to come out with REAL dyesubs...

Oops. I thought those looked weak.

Wonder what these are?


Doesn't have the funky two part "Back Space" of the Signature Plastics doubleshot. Tab and Windows aren't KBC style.

They are Signature Plastics as well. Just with entirely custom legends.

Thanks, was wondering where those were from.

We still have kerning problems. I wonder if half the problem is the person ordering it, not just Signature Plastics.


More SP Font rants. SP doubleshots on top. Cherry Corp doubleshots on bottom.




and the worst...

Double shots are nice. Maybe even nicer than dye-sub keys.
But I agree with webwit - switch to IBM. And sell your Cherry dye-subs.

As I said...I am currently using an IBM 1390133 as my main board...though I am alternating with the sweet access board I got from 42.tar.gz with mx blues.


I think I need to come up with a creative way to sell this set of caps here...screw ebay, and im not going to sell the caps for 400$, thats insane. Maybe some form of competition or reverse auction would work.

reverse auction? ok, I'll give ya $10

9$




i won

reverse auction would mean i start at a high price and drop price 5 € every day until someone takes the price of the day.

Basically it is same as selling it at the marketplace/classifieds.

You could have a Gypsy Auction.

That's where you put it on the table then sees who steals it first.

Sorry, just saw The Red Violin recently. Samuel L. Jackson only yells once at the Hotel receptionist but 3/5 boob rating.

Or an American Auction.
That's where the item is not for sale but you just take it, kill everybody around and then claim the whole house now belongs to you.

Any more prejudices?

Rigs doesn't like gypsies. I don't mind them but I can't listen to manele. Worst music ever!

I don't like thieves such as keyboardlover.

The only thing I'm guilty of stealing is your heart.

You are a thief, not a judge. How do you like your new reputation so far?

Like I said before, no one cares what you think.

Lol.
