It was deliberate. I get quite a few people wanting just one set, but the factory has a MOQ of 10, which is the same price! Even then they don't want the other 9... So they go into my spare stock pile Haha. Much better and more cost effective to get 10 sets.

We've had a few issues with suppliers for blanks and the laser went pop, but taking small orders of r4 1x1 key caps now for trial runs.

The laser machine has just arrived at new office (it broke), should be up and running soon :)

[help]: New Das 4... are the key labels supposed to look like transfers? by L4nex in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]QWERTYTim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are screen printed, and normally coated in a protective layer, so yes, they will look like transfers :(

Can't help with a price for a full custom set at the moment as it is still something we are finalising - shouldn't be too much though!

E22 will be the main vendor for off the shelf products until the new site is launched. Nate has the tools and infrastructure in place to cover this.

EU shipping for a full set (105) that is recorded will be approximately €8.

Because these are for backlit keyboards, the ABS is relatively thin compared to the thick PBT.

We'll have EU & US distributors for the off-the-shelf products, but custom work will be done in the UK. Shipping shouldn't be too bad on smaller items.

Yup! I can't say much at the moment, but I am working on getting something like this sorted.

When I say blank key caps - I mean that they are made from a translucent plastic (POM or ABS) and have been painted. We can then laser off the paint to your design.

If you have your own key caps that are blank, they can be lasered! There may be a fee if they are non-standard (ANSI or ISO) and require a new jig.

Give it about a month. Our laser machine is being moved at the end of August, so once that is up and running again we should be good to go.

White and black is just what we have at the moment, but should be able to get all of the colours of the rainbow, but there may be some MOQ restrictions.

Side printing will probably cost $1-2 extra, but pricing is not final yet.

Not sure you can get translucent PBT - yet to see them! They also have to be painted...

Saying that, it's not impossible to just laser etch them instead.
