Bright Green light your world!

Latest designs from hazeluff make people go crazy... just Great... Go GREEN guys!

Full keyboard with the "?"... Too many questions... hmmm...

We'll have Riddler Key for "?" & Arrows replacements...
Now I'm thinking about the WASD "?" kit...

___________________________________________________________________________________
We will have those keycaps in ABS Double-shot, Row 4, and in 2 versions: Green on Black & Black on Green.
The color code, price, or anything else will become clear in the Order Thread coming up next week...

For now, everybody just say YES I'M IN!!! Err... YES WE CAN!

___________________________________________________________________________________
Thx to hazeluff with his sexy designs

Now the problem is we need a man who can host the order thread, and pick the right one to do

- dyesub PBT caps or doubleshot ABS caps or BOTH?
- If BOTH, maybe we should have the PBT Black on Green (row 1 "ESC" or row 4 "?") and ABS Green on Black (row 1 "ESC" or row 4 "?")
- Vote for them now everyone!!! I'll update post 1 for the number of interest, try to contact the right man and then PM/email everybody when I have more informations!

Now, just VOTE!

Plz plz plz!!!

_________________________________________________________________________________________

I'd love to see the Riddler keycaps on my board, better in 2 versions:

- Green question mark on Black background

- Black question mark on Green background

I'll take at least 25pcs each to make these happen... 8-> Full board with just question marks... 8->

So, let's voteeeeeeee you guys!

And... Err... Someone with talents plz help me with the designs... Thx a lot <3

not sure if SP has a PBT green which suits this, but i'd be interested!

hazeluff · « **Reply #2 on:** Mon, 19 December 2011, 10:39:53 »

interested,

PMed about designing = ).

Also, I'm assuming doubleshot and esc row? (I'd actually like to replace my ? on the keyboard tho).

this idea is really nice!

for german layout it is in the number row (wasn't that same as esc row?)
but i use us layout now anyway.

How about bright green on black?

Yeah, that has the same profile as esc, but its not gonna fit on my bottom row of letters ; p. So I wonder what OP's plan is. I'm hoping to replace the US layout '?', cos my keyboard has used up alot of the caps, and it kind of makes sense that the ? goes over the ? key.

i'm totally agreeing with you there!
just wondering about the base color of the key then. since i'm not sure what color my keycaps will be in the long run. (thinking white right now, but who knows lol)

Also I'll throw some images of designs here after I have a nice breakfast (at 5pm, just woke up).

Ahahaha, he said green on black/black on green. If enough maybe we'll get a white/green?

well green base would work good with most other keys white.

would totally get any version anyway i think. need a new keyboard for work (fuuuuu rubberdome) and i think i'll get a black one there, hehe

TheSoulhunter · « **Reply #11 on:** Mon, 19 December 2011, 11:25:10 »

looks fine to me.
just wondering how good it will end up on the cap. speciallz the lower end of the main sign thingy

hazeluff · « **Reply #14 on:** Mon, 19 December 2011, 12:35:09 »

Fits the specs, it should come out slightly thicker.Will make the SVG smaller/larger, so when the machine makes it, it'll be the thickness it is on the PNG.

byFd · « **Reply #15 on:** Mon, 19 December 2011, 12:43:11 »

damn, you know the tricks

now need to know prices. but should be similar/same to other group buys right?

Can't imagine it being different. If OP is willing to do at least 25...i'm pretty sure its gonna happen, he should probably get in contact with Melissa.

Ascaii · « **Reply #17 on:** Mon, 19 December 2011, 14:49:46 »

ill take two of each

hazeluff · « **Reply #18 on:** Mon, 19 December 2011, 15:31:59 »

btw i'm interested in 2 of each as well. = p row1/4 (Prefer it to replace the ? key over it being an ESC key.)

tsangan · « **Reply #19 on:** Mon, 19 December 2011, 15:33:41 »

black on green!!!

Is this for the ? key or esc key row?

i really hope its for the ? key that would be awesome!!

Yeah I'm with hazeluff on this, I have too many esc row keys as it is ;<

byFd · « **Reply #20 on:** Mon, 19 December 2011, 16:02:31 »

i'd prefer replacement for ? too.
we should look for a nice color for the green =)

kaen · « **Reply #21 on:** Mon, 19 December 2011, 16:04:07 »

i would buy both the ESC and ? replacements and i agree with byFd, getting the right green is important

Reptile · « **Reply #22 on:** Mon, 19 December 2011, 16:07:21 »

+1 for question mark replacement not escape key

byFd · « **Reply #23 on:** Mon, 19 December 2011, 16:14:11 »

i found some photos of the SP color thingys. we using pbt or abs?

slueth · « **Reply #24 on:** Mon, 19 December 2011, 16:15:22 »

I rather have pbt.. but abs is fine with me.

intrested~!

elton5354 · « **Reply #25 on:** Mon, 19 December 2011, 16:19:06 »

interested as well

tsangan · « **Reply #26 on:** Mon, 19 December 2011, 16:26:55 »

PBT would have to be dye sub, and ABS we would do doubleshot.

Do they even have a green for PBT? Also if its PBT then it really needs to be black on green, since you can't do green on black.

byFd · « **Reply #27 on:** Mon, 19 December 2011, 16:29:29 »

for ABS i think the VAT would be sweet
[ Attachment Invalid Or Does Not Exist ] 35450[/ATTACH]

but for PBT i'm not sure. also i'm not sure if this is all available colors.

EDIT: just read tsangans post. me newb tought doubleshot works with both^^

VCK/VCJ?

tsangan · « **Reply #29 on:** Mon, 19 December 2011, 16:35:07 »

VCJ

For some reason SP makes stuff it always ends up being lighter then I thought it would be so I'm going to go with the darker shade, and expecting it to come out a tad lighter

Photos/monitors don't represent colors 100% correctly.thats probably why.

Please no VAT

But then again Riddler any green will do to be honest, I've seen him in light green and dark green.

After googling more pictures I think VCK could look better, I retract my statement for VCJ

byFd · « **Reply #33 on:** Mon, 19 December 2011, 16:44:08 »

yeah thats the prob, there are so much different riddler images. even the ? varies from picture to picture...

tsangan · « **Reply #34 on:** Mon, 19 December 2011, 16:47:50 »

I trust hazeluff's decision and his ability to make SVGs

Well I just put samples next to the image of the box in the first page, VCK/VCJ are the closest to it. But unfortunately, because photos always skew colors slightly, I can't be sure. If the image is 90% accurate in terms of color, I think one of those two. I think even VCM and VCS would pass, but I think they're getting a bit extreme.

If anyone thinks there's a better '?' that could be done, post it. I'll whip up an image of it almost right away. I picked one that wasn't plain, so that it looked a bit more "unique"/"special"

tsangan · « **Reply #36 on:** Mon, 19 December 2011, 18:46:48 »

As long as the ? is curvy and not plain its fine, the one you made was pretty nice as it is

squarebox · « **Reply #37 on:** Tue, 20 December 2011, 02:38:58 »

How about this version from batman forever?

byFd · « **Reply #38 on:** Tue, 20 December 2011, 02:53:54 »

with the bat sign in it?
otherwise this one is more wide and all. might look good on a keycap, might look bad

but i agree with tsangan, it should be curvy, so it is something special =]

hashbaz · « **Reply #39 on:** Tue, 20 December 2011, 06:24:47 »

Potentially interested, ideally as a replacement for the ANSI ? key. +1 for the extra curvy Batman Forever question mark (sans Bat symbol).

I have a set of ABS samples if anyone wants pictures of the green options next to reference objects.

kaen · « **Reply #40 on:** Tue, 20 December 2011, 09:25:13 »

i love the batman forever one, minus the bat symbol of course.

I think VCM looks the best and that's on my calibrated IPS monitor.

I'd also love a "?" for Row 4 replacement. I have too many Row 1 keys already.

I'd be in for one of each black-on-green and green-on-black if we do ABS. If we do PBT, I think the VCG would look the best and I'd be in for all 3 if we have an option.

You have have a calibrated monitor...but the photo didn't take the colors accurately anyway = /. Guess its better than non calibrated monitor tho XD.

Maybe against the shamrock keycap? Or even if anyone knows what green was used in the shamrock keycaps.

Solid point, and it no doubt isn't calibrated correctly, although the white balance on the photo doesn't look to be too far off when you look at things that should be black or white in the photo. I'm fine with any of the three colors suggested so far.

I'm here Im here...

Sry guys... I just have a memorable trip to my hometown, do a lot of things to finish the grave for my dad... Now I'm back to Internet...
First of all, thx alot to everyone who have shown interest on my ideas ^^
Special thanks to hazeluff, your designs just SO SEXY!!!
And a big hug for the "?" replacement idea, I cant think of it at first... sounds really cool!
Many thanks to everyone!

On topic... Maybe the Black on Green should be dyesub PBT - row 1, then the Green on Black be Double shot - row 4???
I want to make the ABS Double-shot keycaps, but if anyone want to have the PBT dyesub version, just post!!! I will update OP and everyone decide this will be done or not

Now I think we should vote for the right green color code, and most important thing is I really need someone help to host the Order thread. (maybe go along with tsagan's cream cheese & green keyset??? I will ask him...)
1- I have no experience.
2- I'm in Vietnam, and the shipping cost might raise the price for keycaps alot...
3- I'll take at least 25pcs each, maybe more, and if you guy give me free shipping for my awesome ideas, I wont refuse =P heheheh...

And if nobody want to handle this, I'll try...

More post please everyone, I wanna hear from youuuuuuuu!!!
