Say, hypothetically, that I just discovered this thread today..... Would it be too late to put in an order?

(7bit: would you do me the honour of checking your PMs?)


In my group buy it is only too late when everything is sold out.

Edit: My mistake - I read wrong... ;-) Retro will live! ;-)


RETRO might be the only style where RGB/RGBY stuff survives.

Maybe just RGY because lightblue is the default color, so a 2nd blue would be overkill under these circumstances.

I'm currently unsure about NOIR ....

Because the number of different labes does not so much influence the price, lower quantities will more likely be produced.

So there will be all language choices available including BEPO, NEO and alike.


NOIR/NEO would make me get and learn it. >:-D

Do you mean the 25 key limit isn't important as long as there are enough orders for the style in general? That would make me want to do... stupid things.

There should not be too many legends ordered less than say 25 times, but the price is now per color and key size only, no matter how many different legens we have.

In Round 3, there was one price regardless of color or row as long as there where not too many different colors involved.


Apropos NOIR: One argument to keep NOIR is that there are still those CHERRYBLACK supplelemt keys, which will contribute to this color-scheme.

But BLOOD will surely bleeding.

Hey 7bit,

hope your december is not that hectic.

btt:

ORANJE/RGBY
NOIR/RGBY
ROUND3/RGBY
BLOOD/RGBY

is basically all the same thing. Why not make one RGBY kit for all 4 styles?

ORANJE/RGBY<---- RGBY on very dark grey (Camel Case, off-center)
NOIR/RGBY<---- RGBY on black (Camel Case, off-center)
ROUND3/RGBY<---- RGBY on very dark grey (ALLCAPS CENTERED)
BLOOD/RGBY<------this is the same as NOIR/RGBY

Then there are those black on RGBY and white on RGBY kits.

Why did I bring all this **** up?
I will think about this.

This may take a while ...

If we keep ORANJE style, there could be ROUND/GAMER in orange on very dark grey, because these have the same colors.

I'm currently unsure about NOIR ....

What will it take for NOIR/GLIDER to make it. I'll order more if I have to.

NOIR/GLIDER.....................2
NOIR/GLIDERESC.................24
NOIR/GLIDER125.................12
CHERRYBLACK.....................8
CHERRYBLACK150.................50

It seems there is too much good white on black stuff to kill it.

But BLOOD will be removed.

In order to bring up the number of keys ordered, I've added a new kit:



It is a cheap replacement kit and comes in both colors of the 2-color-schemes (SPH, ROUND3, RETRO).

So you can have an all white on very dark grey keyboard without ordering the upcomming ROUND3/TKL/BLACK etc.

SPH/ALPHA white on grey
SPH/ALPHA/BLUE white on blue
ROUND3/ALPHA white on grey
ROUND3/ALPHA/BLACK white on very dark grey
RETRO/ALPHA lightblue on lightgrey
RETRO/ALPHA/GREY lightblue on darkgrey


Next to come:
SPH kit which contains round 3 replacements for keys != row 3.

"It seems there is too much good white on black stuff to kill it." Exactly!! :P

So... Would all-SVG kits in existing color schemes actually be helpful? (if they'd get enough orders, obviously)  Not that I could make one, but some for sure could.

They don't contribute enough keys.

Also, new graphics cost $45 setup fee.


I've added

orange on very dark grey GAMER kit for ROUND3:
ROUND3/GAMER/ORANGE

It is the same color-scheme as ORANJE, so it will help to bring the quantities up.



Also, you can now order things like:
SPH/TERMINAL/BLUE
ROUND3/STANDARD/BLACK
RETRO/TENKLESS/GREY

To get:
white on blue
white on very dark grey
lightblue on dark grey

Quick last minute question: What is the correct way to modify an order? Do I just PM the items I want added or what the total order will be?

First of all I need to reduce the color-choices.

I've thrown out ROUND3/GAMER/ORANGE and ROUND3/GAMER/BLUE.

You can have ROUND3/GAMER/GREY and ROUND3/GAMER/BLACK instead.

There will be no ROUND3/RGB keys.

If we keep ORANJE style, there could be ROUND/GAMER in orange on very dark grey, because these have the same colors.

There will be 2 new kits for ROUND3 with white on very dark grey A-Z and punctuation keys.

It is most likely, I throw out the BLOOD style.

I'm currently unsure about NOIR ....

Because the number of different labes does not so much influence the price, lower quantities will more likely be produced.

So there will be all language choices available including BEPO, NEO and alike.

I will also offer row 3 sphericals for both the numpad and A-Z keys, to have an all-row-3 layout.





So, I am trying to figure out this new way of looking at the number of colors instead of styles to be able to keep a kit around or not. For example, keeping the ROUND3/GAMER/ORANGE because its helps the OJANGE/GAMER. Following that line of thought, I see that light blue (BBJ) is use in the RETRO style for the RETRO/RGB/WHITE and the RETRO/RGBY/WHITE and maybe also RETRO/GAMER/WHITE/BLUE? If I am not mistaken those would all contain white on light blue (BBJ). So I was thinking, couldn't ROUND3/GAMER/BLUE be white on light blue (BBJ) and so help all those other kits survive color wise?

Thanks for seeing if that's possible!  :D

Lol, I have 24 on noir/glideresc and 10 an noir/glider125 :p I keep upping the quantities everytime a paycheck comes in.

Hmm, SPH/ALPHA seems interesting. I just wish I could test out SPH keys first. Maybe I'll just order round3/alpha instead.
