While I’m still waiting to get numbers back I want to ask a
few questions.
Originally I was going to run a GB
specifically for the KBParadise V60MTS however when I read
the MOQ’s it was clear that the best value would be to offer
full 104 sets. Unfortunately there is no “one” standard in
the world of Alps; “them’s the breaks kid” or how that
saying goes.
TaoHao has tested their keycaps on a
V60MTS and it came out A-OK. The problem is their keycaps
are predesigned in a way that it will cost huge money to
change the wording on them outside the existing form factor.
For example, there will be no Capslock size key with Control
for it.
So with that being said - I still have to
finalize things but we’re looking at a 500MOQ minimum order
spread across 2 sets - so 250MOQ for two different types.
That’s the good news - the original minimum order from the
factory was 1000 sets of ONE layout - because Alps is a
special order they are only making Cherry sets 99% of the
time now.
We can do any sets we want but I already
asked (waiting to hear back) if they can do 250 Dolch and
250 Olivetti.
Costs per set are around $20 before
paypal/shipping fees are added. Hopefully by next Wednesday
we will nail down the costs.
I have to ask some tough
questions:
-
How many of you plan to use these on a Matias Quiet Pro?
Because unfortunately the bottom row is non-standard, and
because Mac’s are all about standards  the numpad on the Mac is different than the
PC version. So how many of you are using this on a Quiet
Pro PC or Mac? (And No I’m not dealing with Matias Mini.
This isn’t Signature Plastics, son.)
If anyone will avoid buying because of the QP issue I could go back and ask that some additional keys be added but that will drive the price up a little per set. - Is Dolch/Olivetti options ok? Everyone has a boner whenever either word is mentioned - I couldn’t imagine everyone would want a solid black or yellow.

See below on the height differences of the Tao Hao
keycaps. Any problems with it?
Here are some pics of the keycaps:
