[IC] Halloween Kit

[Elrick]

would you be interested in a full halloween set?!

I am interested in what i saw in the first post, would be interested in a full layout possible.

DAMN straight  .  Offer a full 104 and TKL kit and I'll front up for this with bells on.  Make it all PBT because we here at GH just love PBT to death, hence you got to relent to our basic needs here Matt.

[Matt3o]

I was toying with the idea of orange alpha PBT/sublimated. black mods with orange legends ABS/2-shot

Just shoot us some samples, which all of us want to desperately see  .  WE have to have a 2-piece set featuring both PBT and ABS - which will be an absolute first here on GH.

[Matt3o]

letters and spacebar would be PBT so no shining

we could do ESC and Return in purple PBT maybe, so durable as well.

[JaccoW]

Down for more small novelty kits. Even if I don't celebrate Halloween around here

[tyvar1]

Totally interested!

[renne]

Any updates? Totally interested!

[Elocutive]

This would perfectly complement nostalgia. In!

[Matt3o]

I talked with some resellers and they are totally interested... but it's too late and they want to run it next year. I should run it on my own if we want to have it now.

Sir, I like all your designs (Granite, Midnight, etc), also this one. As far as I know, every GB takes a long time to the final product. Why not start it as soon as possible?
And personally, I'd prefer a small set of novelties instead of a full set.

Told ya , this always happens. Start the IC in early July next year so you have a month for IC, a month for orders, and two for production and delivery.

But this is the beta run / really early IC for the first run that will be sold by resellers. So we're still fairly early

Maybe you could start a christmas set instead

Great idea! I love Santa Claus and deers!

[Matt3o]

is there really interest for a xmas kit?

what would you like to see in it? I'm not a huge fan of the xmas iconography.

depends on the results, but I would be interested, we don't really celebrate halloween over here, but christmas is something else. I would guess red as the base color(maybe with green and/or white)  some keys with a tree, reindeer and santa on it. Maybe a "ho ho ho' key as enter, backspace, caps lock (any of the larger keys).

Would have to see what you had in mind.

As much as I love christmas, I don't think I would want a xmas themed set.

There was an interest check for a Xmas set last year:

http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=50968.msg1120289#msg1120289

Didn't take off. Green and red just don't look good on a keyboard in my opinion.

Maybe a winter theme with a couple of Xmas novelty keys works better?

I am thinking of white alphas and dark green mods (like a fir tree covered in snow) plus xmas novelties like boxes of presents or a sleigh or snowman or something.

[Matt3o]

oh we are talking about a full set?

You're right, a winter theme could appeal more people. Novelties could be sled, ski, skate...

oh we are talking about a full set?

No, 4 full sets (winter, spring, summer and autumn) 

[asdfjkl36]

Agree with LechnerDE. I like Christmas and the red and green combo, but a full set just doesn't seem right on the keyboard. It may at times, but overall, eh.

If there was a Christmas theme, I'd go for a kit instead of a full set.

[renne]

Personally, I'd like a small set of novalties.

Since you were considering a Halloween set I just assumed you wouldn't be opposed to a full Christmas set

In my opinion, it's not a good time to spend tons of dollars on a full set at this time, since black friday and xmas and new year are all coming. But as a poor student, I still would like to spend 30~40 dollars on a small set of novelties. That's much cheaper!

[JackMills]

A christmas novelty set would be more than enough, as Renne pointed it out, lots of stuff to spend money on this time of the year.

However I am semi-serious about the 4 season sets, seems a cool idea to me, and, as I am not really creative, to anybody who reads this and finds it a good idea, please go ahead and make it happen.

I had an idea about autumn scheme several weeks ago. Unfortunately, I'm not a designer. Or can anyone help me make it real?

Red/orange or red/yellow? Would love to see a set with those colors =O

I can help where possible since I've done a bit of research on it though maybe asking people like Matt for that would be better

I think I posted this somewhere last year, don't recall.

If you need any of the graphics, let me know. I have them in vector.

Not sure about the Xmas kit

Buy I remember seeing the Halloween kit and I do like it.

These look really nice!
For the christmas one, I really like the base. I wouldn't mind having a snowman or a ginger bread man all year round. Haha
That halloween set though. I'd buy that in a heart beat.

[Elrick]

Matt just make a key-set design using the traditional Orange and Black colours of Halloween, that's about it.  It's a nice colour-way with many subtle design characteristics that can be added by yourself  .

Always liked Orange and Black just use some nice iconography and you'll have a winner.  Don't know whether it would be good in PBT due to their lack of brightness for Orange but do stick with the traditional ABS material to achieve your original design objectives.

Not too keen on an official Christmas set because most Europeans and South Americans follow Religious doctrines during that time of the year whilst us morons here worship a fat dude in a red suit only and fantasize what gifts we're all getting during that time frame.

Best to avoid a key-set trying to depict a REAL (or fantasy) Xmas because it could get nasty and offensive with certain people out there.  For the Christians it's the BIGGEST time of the year and best leave that time alone free from any schlock depiction in key-sets.  Besides we've got all of 2015 to buy more key-sets of just about anything made by SP, so time to give it a rest and enjoy the holidays coming in December.

Also gives people time to save up for the coming year in new key-set buys  .

[Matt3o]

I'm not very much interested in ABS anymore... I still have some ideas for ABS (retro SA) but I hope to be using it as less as possible

I like hearing that, the sacred Retro SA set.  YES, definitely waiting for that baby to arrive at SP's injection room  .

Looking forward to more PBT

[DarSee]

I'd be interested in the Halloween kit.   

[dreadvirus]

Looks good -- I would buy it.

I also wouldn't say no to a Full 104 or TKL set with a gothic-y, Diabloesque font.   Maybe with Cauldrons for the Window key mods and broom or witch's hat for the menu key mod.  Perhaps adding in some glow in the dark ghosties, spiderwebs, gravestones and/or crypts.

hey all, 1st time here..i was checking around, saw the galaxy class set but was bummed it was sold out..saw someone mention this set in another post and now im psyched again haha..i would be in for the full 104 set if the above ideas were implemented!...now im glad i didnt waste the money on that galaxy class set haha

[romevi]

Okay, one more dead matt3o thread.

What's the reason this/these sweet sets died? is it because they can't be PBT? With Hallowe'en right around the corner, it'd be sweet to get these, but seeing as it'd probably be difficult to get them done in time, maybe a nice Xmas gift?

[zzyjayfree]

I'M IN!

[zzyjayfree]

I'M IN!

Guess they would be good for next Halloween!

[rowdy]

At that price range, in DCS, and although Halloween is not big down here, I'd be interested.

[just66in]

+1 for DCS!

[DrCr4nK]

These are pretty awesome!  Definitely a couple I could see myself purchasing.

[Matt3o]

not sure there's enough interest to run a GB on these...

[Vadurr]

woodsmash this!

[zzyjayfree]

200/100 buying

[skycrimes]

I'm in! love halloween

[Niomosy]

Don't know that I'd want a full set of orange/black keycaps but a novelties set like this works out.  At that price range, I'm interested.

[wangbwhz]

Would buy if DSA profile.
