"parallel to the longest side oriented legends" for ergodox

Is that "parallel to the longest side-oriented legends" or "parallel to the "longest-side oriented legends"?

Punctuation is magical! 

Thanks Matt.  I'm totally cool with "wrong" legends for the record.  It would only apply to 8 keys in the set maximum (4x 1.5u and 4x 2u) if my mathseses are correct.

Matt3o... in all this excitement, I have only one request...

Please for the love of all that is pure and holy take your time with this GB and allow time for my wallet to recover.

[Elrick]

Please for the love of all that is pure and holy take your time with this GB and allow time for my wallet to recover.

With all these wondrous SA profiles hitting SP all of a sudden is like Christmas all year round  .

Whenever you're ready Matt to front this to SP, I shall be there to purchase your design.  Nice look with this one here which I have always liked even when wasted upon the DCS profile because this one will certainly look better upon the SA face.

[Matt3o]

I believe we are talking end of October. I could run it sooner but it makes no sense to release an SA set now when in two months you can have full support.

Ahh yes, maybe he's right here to wait for the Great Stuff to be released  .

[neotrinity]

hey matt3o ... here are my *noob* suggestions.

I personally would like a turquoise ISO Enter as well on the ISO Kit.

And I noticed that other keys in the ISO kit are blanks. I would like the ISO kit to have the keys that are present on the Nuclear keyset.

btw the option to choose the variable set is just awesome !

and please please include the wolf as well ... 

i will definitely buy this after i recover from the nuclear keyset purchase   

[Mr. Perfect]

Just out of curiosity, why does the Scroll Lock key have the same moon on it that the Windows\Super keys have? Shouldn't it have something unique so it isn't labeled like another win key?

[Matt3o]

win keys have the wolf now, but I get your point.

basically it's to create some continuity and to avoid adding too many fancy icons.

Also keep in mind that not all people like to pay more for their 'customized' key-sets these days (except me)  .

[Matt3o]

oh fear not. SA version won't have any.

[Mr. Perfect]

Oh, okay. I must be looking at the wrong mockups.

[Zebadule]

Will the next set be Midnight SA, or Retro SA, or is it still undecided? I'd love either, but may get a different top plate for my ErgoDox depending on what color the caps will be.

[Matt3o]

still undecided actually. Let's see what's the reaction when we start posting pictures of the DCS midnight set.

Ummm, I'm hoping you've still decided to stick with pushing through the SA profile regardless to how the DCS set looks like?

[Matt3o]

the reaction to the color combo, not the profile.

I have a couple of DCS ideas... but Retro or Midnight will be SA.

Retro and Midnight are on my list of what to get next too,  just name the dates Matt  .

[Matt3o]

end of October I guess. have to wait for the molds to be ready.

[KaLam1ty]

Any word on if the SA profile is still go? Just got my DCS and they look amazing on my old Ducky.
I'd really like an SA set for my Poker II now . If this is still happening, I think I'll be holding off on MiTo's Pulse set.

Are there still any chances of updating the set as well? After seeing the Pulse SA profile go through with the Dvorak pack,
I'd love to see the addition of the 1.75u Backspace -- at least in the Mods pack for this run.

[LechnerDE]

I think Matt3o said he wanted to wait until the Shift keys are available in the correct row.

Besides that he also considered running his Retro Set in SA first.

[Matt3o]

The DCS version will be available on SP keyshop soon.

Running a SA profile now is just pointless considering that soon we'll have the missing legends. The response to midnight hasn't be excellent even though it's a set that I totally adore, so probably Retro SA will take the precedence. I don't know yet, honestly we had really too many GBs lately and I'm not very keen at running a GB just for the sake of it.

Don't get me wrong, I'm totally going in on a Midnight SA set when it goes live since I think it looks fantastic. But a Retro SA set once the R4 shifts come in would be my first choice. I absolutely love the way that relegendable keys fit right into the theme of the set. Since I plan on using it with an ErgoDox it's both practical and appropriate. Sadly, though, I don't think that SP has 1.5u relegendables in SA. However, the 1u and 2u ones would still be super helpful especially if we can get a Retro equivalent of the Granite Ergodoxian kit to fill in the missing positions.

I'm shocked really, not everyone loving the Midnight series  .......who are these cretins and morons who have ignored such beauty?

I know you think that leaving it much later to push through your Group Buys only means other people here on Geekhack shall push their designs forward.  Of course the SA profile is God-like and shall be used for ever more but don't think if it's DCS or DSA, that it will surge forward with any extra orders.

Stick to your guns Matt and stay with it because you've never done any of your original designs with the SA format, so please do one at least.  Needless to say, I shall be there when you launch the Midnight SA set with bells on  .

That's great news.  Hope they have the Twilight mods too!

It makes sense to wait a bit, mainly for the Row4 profile keys and legends.  It's true that there have been a lot of key set GBs lately, but it doesn't seem to be slowing down much -- especially with the new PMK Group Buy system.  Guess we'll see when we get closer to the holidays.

Looking forward to whatever you do next.

[Zebadule]

I haven't been impressed with the color choices of the recent SA group buys, so I've been waiting for midnight or retro.
If the set gets delayed again beyond the end of this month, I'm not sure I can justify continuing to hold money for it. Please run something soon, I really want to support one of these sets.

[Hofy]

What is the retro set?  Will it have a WASD cluster?

[Matt3o]

this is the first retro set http://keypuller.com/dsa-retro/ in DSA, round 2 will be SA.

[Zebadule]

Every time that I see retro, it looks better than I remember. I may switch camps from preferring midnight to preferring retro.

[CPTBadAss]

I'm sad. I was really looking forward to Midnight SA.

Can't wait (well, my wallet would rather wait), but I want this set! Dark keys (and not black/dark grey), high profile, all great!

Still pulling for Midnight.

Definitely want this baby across the line at PMK as soon as possible  .

I'll pretty much buy any SA profile set that includes a 4.5 spacebar

He's taking the piss here, because SP doesn't make 4.5 spacers for SA at all.  Hence his bullsh1te statement  .

[shimmy1996]

SA is going to be so AWESOMEEEEE!

SP actually does do a 4.5 space bar and it comes in SA profile only.  It's why I'm excited for any SA profile set to be ran.

[Matt3o]

I seem to recall that it's 4u (not 4.5)

Edit: Round 5 has 4.5u, so it can be done

Signature Plastics does not manufacture SA space bars in any other size than 6.25u / 7u.

EDIT:

Yes, they do have 4u, my bad.

4u, 6.25u and 7u are available.

You are misinformed. 4, 4.5 (I just checked and it can be done), 8 and 9 are actually available (well even 3u, but it's not properly a spacebar)

PS: congrats on your GB

Thank you Matt3o, we did great.

I wish you good luck with Midnight and your future projects!

If I can help in any way, you know where to find me.

[Oobly]

My vote is definitely for Retro first!

I think it will look stunning in contoured SA profile!

I have an idea for another SA set colourway, but I want to take some time to develop it and see if it becomes worthy of an IC.

[Zebadule]

Retro would look so much cooler with a wooden keyboard case! I'm still trying to come up with a plan for Midnight.

[Zebadule]

It's the end of the month, any updates for the GB? A tentative start would be awesome if that's something that can be known at this point.

Easy - a simple all BLACK keyboard, see it's easy, don't over think it because it's not necessary  .
