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

[Booper]

Forgot to say:  would be very cool if you added a glow in the dark pack of planets.

Maybe! I've been thinking about doing a led or glowing planetary set but that will come later if all goes well

[radio_killah]

Just a thought but what about using a glow in the dark plastic for some like novelty keys? Like glow in the dark inside the purple or blue?

Another thing what about instead of the small circle and plain star how about a comet and an asteroid? Or what about the silhouette of a space probe/satellite? 

[Booper]

Love the colors, if the homing keys are deep dish would a dvorak kit be possible.

I added a homing kit that I think covers dvorak?. Let me know I didn't get what you were referring to! (The core kit won't be dished out).

[ccc24]

SA definitely, I just can't get me enough of it.

[lavalamp]

Sweet color combinations.   The star outline looks better than the solid star and the spiral galaxy icons are cool.   Some suggestions:

Please vertically align the question mark and slash on their key to be visually consistent with the other dual character keys.

Consider adding a 1.75 Ctrl key, or at least some sort of not-Caps Lock -- perhaps the space suit helmet, key to the Tsangen/HHKB kit for those of us raised on UNIXy keyboards and/or who loathe the Caps Lock key/functionality.

Perhaps add Charon to the Pluto key since they are closer to co-planets than planet and moon.

For any extra icons what about the Moon, an Asteroid Belt segment and a comet trailing its tail.

So far, this is quoted for DSA - ABS - Doubleshot,  but I am open to input still for profiles! If I could figure out how to do a poll, I would make one for DCS, SA and DSA to see what is most popular.
I'll get more info on the sets that aren't quoted yet and I'll make a Tsangan, a Winkeyless and a few others if there is enough interest.


-Booper

If you haven't made the poll yet I would suggest using a google doc form with just a multiple choice question with the different profiles or using the strawpoll website. I'd much prefer to have this set in DCS or SA, but that's just me

 Usually with the homing sets, the F and J are not homed since the base alphas come with homed F and J keys. So the extra homing set provides F and J that are not homed and then the other 4 as homed keys. I've also seen sets just provide both homed and not homed F and J keys with the alphas and then completely avoid a homing kit.

Ah, thanks! I'll make that change. I'll probably add the homing dish keys to the core kit and take the f & j off the homing kit. I'd still need it for the dvorak and planck though.

You added exactly what I was talking about, thanks. I'm really excited for this set.

[osxoep]

Would be down for an ISO pack too.

Sorry about that. It's in the full layout image but I didn't put it in the post by itself. I went back and made a list of kits I've included so far!

thanks!

[Zebadule]

If you're planning on supporting the ErgoDox, you'll want to make some blanks available too. It's actually pretty rare to see an ErgoDox with those exact 1.5 mods, and there are a number of 1u keys that don't correspond to a standard keyboard's keys too.

[ccc24]

I think a October GB would be ideal, to avoid competing with Mito's Copsar which is aiming for Nov-Dec depending on interests. And if you were to decide to make it sculpted SA I think you would blow the Pulse set out of the water, in terms of units sold.

[Latin00032]

This is the first real good looking set I've seen in a while.

I like it because, you are combining a couple colors.

Many of the recent keycap GBs use just black or just white for the keycap texts.

[heedpantsnow]

Can we please stop the SA insanity!

[Latin00032]

I don't know if this has been answered but, is there support for a hhkb layout?

Like a 1.5x bksp/del key for row 2 and an opposite 1x del/bksp key for row1?

[Latin00032]

Can we please stop the SA insanity!

What would you prefer?

[heedpantsnow]

Anything along the lines of oem/cherry/DCS would be great for me.  Just my 2 cents; I know the group will do what the group wants.

Best I can offer is to add a poll and let the majority rule! I would like to get this made in the profile that the most people would be interested in having.
***POLL - Which Profile would you prefer for this set?***

[strict]

Voted for DSA 

[scubaste]

Don't forget that you can choose multiple options. If you would support them all then vote for them all. 

[heedpantsnow]

Cool poll. Thanks for making it.

[radio_killah]

Just looked at the pictures again, would it be possible to add the 1u FN key and a 1.75u Control key for HHKB layouts?

Sure! I'll work on these and include a kit in the next update.

I'm still hoping to see JD40 / Planck modifiers.

What sizes are the JD40 & Planck modifiers?
I'll try to make whatever kits are requested, it's ultimately up to the eventual GB what gets created and I guess you can't have too many options!

Planck has a 2u spacebar, and everything else is 1u

JD40
1u escape, 1.25u tab/ caps lock, 1.75u left shift, 1.25u ctrl 1u win 1u alt
1u backspace 1.75u enter 1.25 right shift 1u fn and 1.25u x2(Fn, Alt, Win, I have no idea)
Standard 6.25 spacebar

I definitely recommend having at least 1 if not 2 1.25u fn keys available. A lot of people will be using them for tab / caps or having a 1.25 fn and a 1u right shift.

Also I may be biased because I plan to do it with my layout, but 1.25 ` ~ and \ | in the color of the mods.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks a ton! I'm working on happy hacking kb and will add this as well. I'll let you know if I run into any questions.

I edited my previous post a little bit.

Not to be that guy but, how do you know that people aren't double or triple voting?

Honor system?

[SpAmRaY]

I bet if you pm a mod they could add a real poll to the thread.

[ConscienceDrop]

Booper,

I just wanna say that this set keeps looking better and better with every update.
you take the good into account but your vision remains true. that galaxy on the num row looks amazing.

this is just a post singing your praise, and with the small changes you have made I'm already in for a set for damn sure (i was most likely on your first post anyways but now its not even a question!)

keep it up dude, super impressive work 
can't wait for this thing to go live

[Booper]

Straw poll was suggested to me as it supposedly checks networks & won't let you double vote. I tested it with my roommate from his computer and he couldn't vote after I did... But I suppose it's possible to work around and vote multiple times. I'll pm a mod and see if I can get a real poll!

>.< Thanks so much! This is quite an undertaking so your encouragement is very appreciated! I've had a lot of fun so far and the community has given great feedback

[heedpantsnow]

I voted originally on my phone and it would have let my PC vote as well when I went back to check the count.  Obviously I didn't vote twice, since my choice is losing bad.

Yea, I guess that would work. I pm'd a mod though so maybe I'll get a GH poll!
I'm still working on refining icons to make sure they are 100% CNC compatible. By the time I get my Interest Check on PMK and get some more traffic, I'll hopefully have a real poll

Looks good to me! Only change I would request is a ctrl and alt keys for the windows users. Maybe a second shift.

[scubaste]

I wonder when a Mod will get around to adding a poll to this IC. I look forward to seeing if the most popular profile changes once the interest check goes live on PMK and is posted to other forums and what not!

[litesung]

Would love for a DCS profile along with DSA so future BBs and CCs can match.

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!

[scubaste]

Yay the poll is live!
