[IC] DEEP SPACE - Now a GB (& Keycap Giveaway!)

[Sent]

Just saw the updated OP with the new mock ups.  Really like how this set is turning out.  Seems like you're really covering all of the bases.

Planck Set! Let me know if it's not correct and I'll fix it

Yeah that is correct!  :thumb:
Thanks man!  ;)
Here is another GB that has Planck: http://www.pimpmykeyboard.com/deals/lunar-planck-mods/
And here is a picture of the original setup by the creator of the Planck Keyboard:

Are you going to add a SmallFry/JD40 kit?
Here is a GB that had a kit for it for some more info: http://www.pimpmykeyboard.com/deals/greentea-smallfry-kit/

Thanks once again!

Sorry for the delayed response, had to attend to real work today :/
I DO plan on making a small fry set! I should have it up soon!

Don't be sorry!
Awesome! Thanks!

[Reckthor]

I'd love to see this in DCS That being said I will still buy if it goes to SA. Keep up the good work!

Yea, I don't mind really which profile is the most popular personally, I just want to get it made! There is a lot of love out there for all of the different profiles so it's a difficult decision.

Thanks!

Could you make a 60% kit in Orion and Polaris?

[heedpantsnow]

Love the look of this set and all the options. You've done a really great job with the design.
I hope it ends up in DCS.  SA just doesn't work so well on smaller boards (sticks up so tall), and DSA is like typing on a laptop since it's so flat.

Yeah I hope this doesn't end up in SA it just doesn't work as well on 60% boards. DSA or DCS please!

Yea, there are pros/cons to all. DSA would be nice for me (less work laying out rows!) and would allow for all the keys to go anywhere, but I like the feel of DCS and I personally don't mind SA on a 60%. It'll be whatever the community decides ultimately. I've got a white backlit poker II coming in the mail and I just can't wait to see these colors on it!

[Booper]

Could you make a 60% kit in Orion and Polaris?

The modifier kits that exist will currently complete a 60%. You'll have a few extra keys, but I think the price difference would be negligible between the current modifier sets and a 60% only set.

However, if there is enough interest/requests, or if the price ends up to be dramatically different, I'll set it up!

Does this cover it!? Let me know if it doesn't. I started laying hhkb out and it seemed like I only needed to add a few keys to the adapter kit for it. If this isn't right I'll make a kit for it by itself

[Booper]

I started with the standard keyboard layout from Signature Plastics which has line art for basic keycaps. The novelty icons, promo images, poker II rendering, etc. are all my designs and template free!
I'm planning on uploading all the different keyset templates at some point for the community to have as it's a pain in the butt to lay them all out individually.

Thank you!

Looks good. I think that set will cover a lot of different layouts! Hopefully by adding more keys it doesn't make it too expensive. Hopefully around $22-25 range would be good I think for that kit that covers that range of layouts.

I think the shift and the enter key are supposed to be 2.25u. (Maybe even different profiles depending on voting.)

You need a "|\" 1u key for that top row. I don't think it's included in the regular alphas kit. Is it?

Whoops! I'll fix that soon. The alphas come with a grey "|\" key but it is 1.5u I believe

It is 1.5u for the original key. But on the hhkb, that key is put in the number row as a 1u key along with the alphas.

You'll see it if you google hhkb pictures.

Yup, that astronaut key ties it up like a rug ties up the room.

I have granite R2 lined up as well. I'll probably hop on this set with the keys for JD40 + Planck + 60%. I'm really hoping this doesn't end up being SA profile tho. DCS and DSA I'm both pretty okay with, I just think SA looks silly on such tiny keyboards.

Also with the JD40 kit is there any chance of you adding a 1.25u FN key? I know I will be, and I expect a lot of other poker users to be replacing the tab / caps location with a FN key.

[Skuloth]

Also it seems like you have 2 delete keys in the JD40 kit. Any chance of having one of those replaced with a backspace?

[tyvar1]

Skuloth, about the SA, 1.25u FN key and 2 delete keys. I am totally with you!

[Skuloth]

Apparently I have good taste
Also I forgot to mention that I really like the way the JD40 renders look. I'm usually all for symmetry, but the blue astronaut and enter look sweet.

I have to agree with you about that JD40. I think it's because it is just a touch out of place, not anything drastic, and it still incorporates the proper color scheme, unlike a novelty key from a different set or anything markedly different.


Very good work on this set, we all appreciate it and are eager to get our hands on it.

[Booper]

Thanks for all the kind words on the JD40 set! I'll make a few tweaks on JD40 and HHKB as requested (like changing one of the delete keys to a backspace key and adding the \|). I'm trying to decide if it would be more cost effective to keep the HHKB keys in the adapter kit, or make a separate kit for it. That can be worked out later though I suppose when it makes it on PMK.

I'll have some updates later today probably. Thanks again!

I will love you forever if you make `~ and \| 1.25u keys for the JD40.

Not quiet sure... I submitted my set for an interest check and it's currently "pending" still. Hopefully it will go live on their IC system soon!

[heedpantsnow]

I guess I meant sortof a kit by itself.  Or just include one with the mods kits if it doesn't add too much to the cost.  Compatible with lotsa boards and lots of folks like the stepped goodness.

Alright, I'm on it! I'll probably just add it to the Modifier kits then
1 extra key shouldn't change the cost too much!

Love this set. Instead of the ☆ in the planetary packs, have you tried an asteroid belt, meteor showers, or comet designs?

I might pick up the JD40 kit, yeah. Gray is my favorite color and I'm a big fan of purple as well, especially as an accent color.  Though, if it's in any profile other than DSA, I'll have to pass.  I don't even want to throw any GMK sets on the 40 as I think it just looks kinda odd.

I forgot which thread I read this in but it seems like SP is pretty swamped with DSA orders for a while and are booked solid.  Not sure if that would affect anything but just a heads up.

I think you're confusing DSA with SA that's why it's TBD for SA in the poll.

It is DSA. And you probably saw that in Matt3o's halloween kit thread. He said that the DSA tooling was booked for a few months iirc, which would slow down this GB but do we really care? I'd much rather wait and get DSA.
