The word is we can't make them unless we get permission from Blizzard.

This means that this will most likely not happen.

Sorry guys. We tried. (Ragnorock is still trying...?)

Thanks for all the interest. I'll let you know if anything ever happens.

Enjoy a MOBA/QWER kit instead?~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm interested in getting a set of keycaps done for the different League emblems from Starcraft 2.

What do you guys think?

Want [ ]
Do not want [ ]

Btw, Unless we get enough people getting the (probably) less liked lower division keys (bronze-gold?), I'm gonna say it's going to be a set. Kind of like Ragnarok's Portal 2 set (but doubleshot).

The number of sets people are currently interested in: >50 sets (Enough)

Just posted in the other thread, but I'll run this too if you want. It won't ship out with my other group buys, but I could adapt my excel sheet really easily for all this.

I'm in, obviously. A set of doubleshots would be best imo. Diamond might still not come out too good, but we'll see what Melissa says.

hazeluff · « **Reply #2 on:** Tue, 25 October 2011, 20:11:58 »

= D Really? That would be amazing. Since I'm trying to do something, I may act as EU distributor if we can get shipping to be cheaper.

RColinTaylor said he'd help out as well and the SVGs are with him. He said he'd pass them onto Melissa.

As for the Diamond emblem. It seemed very dull without the little details on the diamond, so I added some stuff. I'm pretty sure we'll find a way to decorate it and still meet the specs to be made (or just remove them).

Want, 2-3, and already have a friend who wants 2-3 as well.

Ragnorock · « **Reply #6 on:** Tue, 25 October 2011, 20:16:24 »

No I agree, the main reason I thought a diamond key wouldn't look good was because of the lack of detail, you pulled it off really well with what you did. I'm hoping that it does turn out decent as it is with no changes. We shouldn't get our hopes up too high (TL keycap) but it should look pretty good. The rest should be okay, but you may have to space out the "bars" in the lower league (and GM's wings) logos so that they conform with their specs.

reaper · « **Reply #7 on:** Tue, 25 October 2011, 20:16:29 »

I'm in for at least 1 set if this ever takes off.

Yeah I remember reading that when I browsed the TL gb. I'll fix em up later. I pulled this stuff out quickly to see what it would look like generally.

Sending out the email right now for these; having them checked out to see if there are any line-discrepancies...

Melissa is going to hate receiving emails from me after these last two weeks.

Getting them done at the same place, so they should be in the same ballpark.

Ragnorock · « **Reply #18 on:** Tue, 25 October 2011, 22:33:56 »

How bad would everyone feel about doing them as a set rather than individuals? If there are 7 leagues, they should be under $10 a set by the time ordering is done. Since we'd likely run them as row 4 keys, everyone could use them for their control groups, and the more you use... the closer to GM you get. (lol)

I like how you gave an example of how to use the keys. = D.

Yeah, I've subtly stated it somewhere that it'd be a set. Unless we get a good amount of buys on every design.

This looks like it might get somewhere. = D

Ragnorock · « **Reply #23 on:** Tue, 25 October 2011, 23:41:16 »

Well since I, like many others, don't have too much use for a whole bunch of Row 4 keys with the Portal keycap GB AND the SC2 race keys, I'm finding myself hard pressed to figure out where to put all the other random ones I want lol. I need em to make sense!

(Also why I wanted the Japan key to be capslock, or maybe even tab, since my modifiers are all going to be SC2 keys.)

The solution is buy more keyboards.

oh man... its been crazy GB's this month but I'm in :smokin:

Also wouldnt mind if they are modifiers also since like others mentioned geting full of R4 keycaps.

Ragnorock · « **Reply #29 on:** Wed, 26 October 2011, 00:51:03 »

If there was one fewer key I'd say we could do the delete to page up set of 6... Thats an often overlooked section of "useless" keys.

That's actually a pretty great idea. Too bad there's that one extra key...

What about the top 20 GM logo? I think there's a 'top 20' or 30 for all the league designations.

Maybe at a later date. Introducing the "top xxx" variations will add to many keys and make it way too expensive. Also It'd be hard to put in the detail to make them look nice. Also, I think it takes away from the design when we throw in more detail. These emblems are more recognizable than ones with the fancy wings underneath. Of course that's just my opinion.

I'll have a look into it, but not likely for this group buy.

That will probably be too complicated.

Yeah. I've been pondering on getting a noppoo mini cho to bring into uni as the keyboards in our labs are horrendous (old membrane) and feels bad man.
Put all my new keycaps on that and just be a massive nerd.

Strangely make the GM key a mod key? It does have extra width because of those wings. (I just looked down at my keyboard. 7 keys...7 mod keys...at least on my filco).

But honestly, prob not going to do that. (Tho I understand you're dillema. xD)

You'll need them for when you get promoted (or demoted =x, jkjk). = D

I'll take note of it, but the concern is that there won't be enough interest to get a few of the less popular ones going.

Ragnorock · « **Reply #47 on:** Wed, 26 October 2011, 11:07:03 »

I've got it! Since GM is really the only one truly above the rest, you could put it where the scroll lock key is and have it lord over them.

Haha although I understand the concern with the lesser leagues not gaining interest, perhaps that isn't such a bad thing?

Interesting Idea. What about just replacing any old key, cos you shouldn't be looking for the letters you need to type.
