[Matt3o]

Please see this post for latest info:
http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=52684.msg1398658#msg1398658

A new GB will take place for SA family.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please help me refine the Midnight set. Your input is greatly appreciated.





Option 1 with light mods



Mixing the two you get nice results



Custom keys



And the colors



It would be extremely helpful if someone with the color right could take a shot of the above colors all together. Thanks!

  ...but please don't launch the gb for the sets all at once.

The Macross one is the first. This one's second. Third will be PBT hopefully

[JaccoW]

You're on a roll Matt3o. Very nice set.

[Elrick]

So how many Group Buys you want to run Matt3o?

I think you're after BunnyLake's record, trying to keep a number of GB's running at the same time, I would like to see that  .

I like this new colourway because we do need a Group Buy with Green and Black in them, let us know if you'll go SA or DSA profile, I think you know which one I'll kill for.......

[Elrick]

Third will be PBT hopefully

Make it happen......soon  .

[Matt3o]

The x-wing thing is more of a "wish upon a star" thing.

I have just 2 GBs right now. Macross and Midnight. Macross is already on its way. This will come soon after. That's it

Anyway they are both part of a new project that will soon be released and I can't talk about just yet

For midnight I was thinking standard DCS actually... but it's not set on stone yet.

You are a cold, cruel man - as my heart sinks to my feet.  No DSA or SA ? ........... walking into a dark room with a bottle of tequila..... what a lousy Xmas present  .

[Matt3o]

LOL

You know I'm the DSA man Macross is DSA already. I'm not sure about this just yet. Please file your preference!

Seconded I also think the light mods look the best btw.

[Moosecraft]

Mixed set with yellow lettering on all the light keys in SA profile 

[boost]

option for a blank set?

[ekw808]

Cherry legends?

[akikun]

Really loving the low contrast mods on the first mockup. Escape key might look nice with the yellow legend, like the enter and arrow keys.

+1 and SA profile

[LONGZILLA]

The set looks very soothing, very befitting of the name.

The yellow escape does sound interesting, would definitely standout more but hopefully not too much more yellow keys as they'll standout too much (which goes against the sets theme)

[Matt3o]

option for a blank set?

yeah that should look pretty nice actually. I'll add the option.

Cherry legends?

I wanted to do that DCS, yes, but people seem to prefer SA profile actually. Keep voting.

I'll give it a shot.

[Matt3o]

All the sets... I'm sure I'm missing something (besides the blanks)

ooooo, will keep my eyes out for the pbt in the future!

could be the the 1u "+" (plus key) for the numpad?
can't remember if there's a keyboard that requires a 1u enter/run key for the same

[LONGZILLA]

night owl key!

This color scheme looks nice

Interested to see what you have planned for PBT.

[MOZ]

DCS for this
DSA for Macross
SA for X-Wing

[justnits]

this is like a hybrid of Cheap TKL set and Calm Depths set...but i love this colour scheme better!

i hope you don't make it in DSA profile, giving extra text only keys for Winkey, PrintScreen Scroll Lock and Pause, doing so will result in me emptying my wallet for keycaps again

[Elrick]

Oh damn, this dude needs a vicious kicking - how could you say this is a "Cheap TKL Set" (unless Matt3o is making it for $20USD each)  ?

We need a Black and Green-like colour-way because we don't have that Group Buy running here for everyone.  Knowing Matt3o he will furnish some more icon's to please the super-fanatics here, so don't worry about that.

I like it, especially when it BECOMES officially, an SA-Profile beauty  .

I don't think he means to describe Matt3o's set as "cheap" (in the pejorative sense)... he's referring to this set, no?
http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=50845.0

Anyway, yeah, the icons are awesome. The moon and stars icon especially! I think this would look lovely in either SA or DCS. I just hope I have the cash on hand if this happens... though that isn't likely 

[Matt3o]

Okay guys.

I totally missed the "Cheap TKL" set.

I don't understand why Boost didn't tell me about it since 1) the color combo was originally proposed by me, 2) his GB is currently on going.

I really haven't seen the boost GB (there are too many around). I don't want to collide with his set, I'm glad the midnight set is coming to life, it would have been nice if he contacted me about it so we could have discussed about some more options (the original midnight was just a draft).

At this point I don't know if this should see the light, at least until boost GB is completed.

well elrick, the name of the set is "Cheap TKL 100key" going at $60.27, not $20.00.

thanks akikun, for knowing what i was saying instead of giving me vicious kicking )

[yicaoyimu]

Would be interesting to see this set with an option for ctrl alt shift keys with RGB color legend. The light green seems very similar to the color of mint gum CC, which makes it a perfect combo with my mint gum CC. Vote for DCS.

EDIT:

Elrick got what I meant. I mean dark ctrl alt shift keys with RGB color text. Something similar to SoWaRe ctrl alt shift.

Justnits, no one was going to give you any kicking, figure of speech, that's all.  You know what it's like here, friendly banter and polite discussions  .

You may have something there, having an RGB set "TEXT" colour perhaps, to offer something subtle rather than an all out RGB.......?

yeah i've seen many of that here...hehe! but i've seen many going to the boarder line and beyond also...but no worries, i'm relatively new here and still trying to learn and get along with the community  cheers mate!

Yes, I mean RGB color text on ctrl alt shift keys. Something similar to SoWaRe design.

i don't mind this being delayed, with most of the keyset dateline due-ing soon.

RGB legend could be cool. I've always thought gray alphas with dark gray mods (low contrast like this set) and CMY legends would look amazing...

Anyway, not to derail--I think it would be sad if this got binned permanently. Maybe just give it some time after the conclusion of the Cheap TKL GB? Even though it's very similar, I don't think it necessarily collides. The purpose of cheap TKL was to be affordable and thus minimalist. Midnight, on the other hand, has the nice yellow legends, bright mods, icons, support for various layouts, etc. Though the colors are similar, the needs they fill are quite different, I think.

[Matt3o]

I want this GB to happen. Maybe it will be just procrastinated a bit. Let's see if boost chimes in.

Anyway this is the RGB version



I'm not a huge fan of multicolored legends but if there's interest for such a thing we could add an RGB kit.

is that centre stem stepped capslock?

[Matt3o]

I'd say stem is on the left, anyway I believe only DCS has center stem stepped key. So if we go DCS and there's enough interest we could add both versions

darn, i'm torn between DCS and DSA...haha!
i'm not too sure about SA...haven't got any chance to try that out.

btw, love the rgb legend!

just throwing a suggestion for the custom keys.
what do you think of having one key with just the moon, and other key having a few stars, another a leafless tree, or an owl?

Now this is what it all should like, nice and conservative, without looking like some kind of feminine product on the shelf at your local pharmacy (like most colour-ways are starting to appear).

Make it masculine as possible without being too "Village People" like, if you know what I mean.

Make both including SA.  We NEED more SA Profile love here on Geekhack.

I don't know about a "stars only" key. I have to make a test. The owl is a nice idea actually if we can find some good graphics.

I will include standard keys (no-graphics) if that is what you mean. Apart from adding some pornography I don't know how to make it more masculine.

I think you know what I really like matt3o.  Something that has little to do with pictures or icons, straight up TEXT.  I thought all the little mobile users would appreciate that  .

[Matt3o]

You'll never see a "WIN" key in any of my GBs (it will read "super"). Apart from that icon keys will be optional of course.

[Matt3o]

PS: a owl key would be nice indeed...

[TheHydroMule]

Oh man a predatory owl would look cool. Also I think a 'LOSE' or 'LOSS' key would be funny for a future set, if it made sense.
