During the last group buy of colored topre keycaps I notice
that a lot of people were buying blank sets for their HHKB
because labeled keys wouldnt match up. I missed out on the
group buy and when Elite Keyboards had them in stock. While
trying to track down a set I found out that within the next
month or two more sets will be available. After learning
this I contacted WASD Keyboards about doing custom etching
on a blank topre keycap set. I was told that with one set it
would be very expensive to do because of the testing needed
to get the correct laser settings. The other problem that he
had was that there may not be enough extra keys to do good
enough testing to produce a satisfactory etching.
I
came up with the idea of group etching to cut down on cost
and have the ability to have enough extra key caps for the
testing. Depending on the number of people interested we may
have to limit the color of caps to a single color (for
testing reasons) and the layout would be kept the same
between colors (if there are different ones) to keep down on
cost.
Once some interest is shown I will contact WASD
and start getting more of the particulars worked out. Like
how the caps will be bought, prices for shipping, and
pricing on the testing and etching.
The best way would
be for the caps to be sent directly to WASD from the seller.
Then have WASD etch and ship the keycaps. This way we could
keep the number of shipments down, keeping shipping cost
down. Though this would be the best method it would require
a large commitment from WASD which I dont know yet if he
would be willing to do.
