[IC] Doubleshot 87 Key Red on Black Keyset
« on: Tue, 15 November 2011, 01:04:42 »
After much hinting, I figured I might as well throw up a real interest check for this.

Basically I like the look of the red on black contrast in the Terran doubleshot keycap so much that I want to do an entire keyboard to match it.

Will be basically standard legends except for the enter key I'm replacing the "Enter" with "Execute"

Placement in the top left "modern style" with the standard SP "Arial" font or w/e to save on costs.

It won't have as much contrast as white keys but everyone here should be pretty adept at touch typing so any complaints that they aren't as visible as white on black and black on white will be laughed at. Don't get me wrong though, they will be very readable- thats why I'm choosing the same Terran red instead of a darker one.

I'll have some artwork from SP soon enough, but its pretty easy to imagine. Black ABS keys that fit everything on your tenkeyless, with red doubleshot legends. Also for those looking to get all keys of the same profile as some of the ones bought from myself or other group buys, here is an excellent chance to get good looking keys that all have the same profile as the keys you have. For example, if you are buying just Nyancat, you won't have to deal with it being shorter than the Row 1/4 keys next to it.

Its not in Round 4, so I'm doing it myself instead of bothering 7bit with it. If he wants to include it then go for it man.

Here's a picture of the Terran keycap for reference. The red is darker than that as many will vouch for. The flash from my camera messed with all the colors but you get the idea. Too lazy to get my other pics.

25 sets          $65.06 / set
50 sets          $47.74 / set
75 sets          $41.96 / set

I'd like to do at least 50 sets.

I'm honestly not sure whether they can do side printing or not, but that isn't what this is for.

Yeah they fit the Storm's color scheme perfectly. Would look sick.

Btw, if we're short of 50 by a reasonable margin, I will be covering the cost to get to 50 so that we all get the price break.

The magic number for the price break would be 37 sets, otherwise known as the bubble where the 50ct price becomes equal to the price of kits purchased at the 25ct price.

I'd prefer enter over execute also, but I can settle for execute if that's what it takes to get a set of red on black keycaps.

Yes, they can do front printing.

In Round 3 the Terran key was RA red on NN black, BTW.

I'd be interested in a set if this gains momentum. If this can be done say around next month or two, then most probably I'd be in regardless of how many other people join the group buy.

Front printed doubleshots! Why has nobody done this yet‽

I think this'd look excellent with the CMstorm, especially with how the red plate is visible, I'll watch this. Depending on timeframe, I'd be interested at the 50 set cost.

Maybe adding it to R4 is the best idea, though.

Finally! Red on black will look awesome, terminal/matrix green on black as well btw...
I'm in for 2 sets, if we hit 50 perhaps 3, also Id prefer a standard "enter" (but why cant we have both!?)

Ninja keycaps would be legit, but its not exactly what I had in mind for this. I have ninjas currently on my Leo if that says how much I like them. If anyone feels like contributing some pictures of anything similar, it would be appreciated.

I'll ask how much it is to get an extra enter key. If the cost isn't significant then we can throw that in too.

"return" is always nice, and has appeared on keyboards in the past.

Alright, well I'm just going to make the order thread and leave it open till we get close enough to 50. If we don't, we just won't do it. I don't think anyone wants it at 25 sets.

Have you made that order thread yet? I didn't see it, but wasn't sure if I was just missing it. I really want some red on black double shots. If there was a possibility for side printed that would be even better, but if not I will take normal ones.
