A bit thicker, but not as thick.

This is sexy, I propose a DSA red alert set? it'd be exquisite!

not really, the Filco keycaps have nearly identical thicknesses, but they've got a cross reinforcement bone in them, so they're structurally a bit more rigid than the SP ones.

that's all I needed to know!

just a thought - would SP be able to product thicker ABS keys? their usual double-shots are paper thin and feel really flimsy...

going to sell any?

The new ones are PBT also, but they are much thinner. Its pretty hard to find the old ones without pulling a keycap. The first safe indicator is that it uses the Bi-Color scheme (meaning F5,6,7,8, etc... are a different shade of grey and not all white). Other than that you will have to gamble. I've ...

By the way.
Does anybody know how to distinguish PBT from POM ?
Is there anyway to do that easily and uncompromisingly ?

This Guru says this way, that Guru says that way. I think both of them do not know anything about it.

If you are only talking about Cherrys, easy, Cherry uses POM on black ...

I saw sixty's cherry corp keys glossary, and immediately wanted a set of these beautiful dye sub keys, I assume they only come in the "S" suffix right?

I looked everywhere and I don't think I've come even close to finding one.. so I will settle on these lasered PBTs ...

I'm interested in a pure+grey modifiers set.

but like calavera said, SP keys are quite flimsy.. so I hope it's not too expensive.

P.S. What's the"Filco Capslock: 1x Capslock key, nonstepped, center stem" option ? isn't that standard affair?

oh sweet, now I know whose balls I'll be busting!

sixty wrote:I only have very few. I have only their basic ABS color ring, which includes even less grays than the one above.

that's too bad

I msg'ed fssbzz, hopefully he has those grey color samples.

so, anyone has samples for the grays?

found this! No gray's on it though...

So we are ordering some blank keys from SP over at geekhack, I'm trying to figure out how all these shades of the same color differ, especially the grays, SP has like 25 different shades of it: GDL,GRA,GHO,GEC,GGG,GOD..etc..

I heard sixty has color samples from SP, one of these I assume?

where are you located? The Rk9000 is fully compatible with Filco/ducky/das keycaps if thats what you want to know.

anyone has tried these "3 star" palm rests from EK? Are they any good?

ahh that's it, I remember a post from you on GH, looks even better with that palm rest

ahh i c, and thanks for the warm welcome right now I'm craving for some colored modifier keys for my cherrys, can't seem to find them anywhere, I will let you guys borrow my asian girlfriend if you guys can come up with something.

sixty what keyboard is that in your last picture? (the one with the wooden rest and blue esc key), that thing looks absolutely gorgeous.

Do those IBM keycaps fit the cherry MXs?
