Title: [Preview] BumbleBee Set
Post by: KeyPop on Tue, 25 June 2013, 00:49:57
Just a sneak peek on the set we've been working on lately..
(http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b13/InSenG/BumbleBeeSet2.png)

We're currently at 70%!
We WILL be hosting a groupbuy for this particular set! Stay tuned! So far we have planned to include some special poly carbonate keycaps in this set(Not guaranteed but we're trying our best!). The polycarbonate keycaps are not included in this preview but we assure you it will be glorious.

Colors and designs may not be final! Overall some legends ARE missing so please don't jump to conclusions!

My Black 84LZGH approves.

Not sure what the comfort level for typing on such yellow keys.
I'd imagine a less brighter yellow would reduce eye strain

Awww how much different?

Most yellows are not quite yellow.

The Filco is orangeish.

WASD is very pale.

The Hazard Set was the closest to yellow yellow.

According to HTML colour grabber, the above pic is #fff200, which is only slightly less yellow than #ffff00.  BUt TBH looks fantastic! :)

We'd personally like it to be the same color as our awesome face keycaps/chickobo/yellow smile! to allow consumers a wider variety of customization but if the yellow proves to be too bright, we're looking more towards a gold color.

I have most of those, as pictured here:

http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=37012.msg790908#msg790908

The Smile! yellow in particular is almost exactly the same as the Awesome and Hazard Set - and that is very yellow.  probably not quite as yellow yellow as the mockup in the OP, but more yellow than Filco.

Very nice.

Especially the Tsangan kit.

Would love to get in on this one.  Haven't had an all Yellow and Black set.  It would be even better if you did enable an all Polycarbonate set that will stand out further in an already crowded Key-set market.

I personally don't think there was ever a full polycarbonate set made thus yet, maybe yours could be the first one to break that frontier.

Damn, I was hoping for a complete set.

Remember this is a homage to the autobot 'Bumblebee' hence it has to made out of the toughest plastic.  This character needs to be extremely strong and able to take the greatest amount of abuse and torture but still save everyone else out there.

Polycarbonate should be the material for this set.

I agree! But I think someone else has the rights to the first complete poly set.

Either way, it's a good looking set.

seems as though no one has yet mentioned the elephant in the room thnaks to everyone's focus on the bumblebee.

HOw much is it expected to cost?

It's going to be a deal breaker if anything over $90 for me. I might as well pay a bit more and get a new keyboard with some nice switch.

Black yellow, very nice color combo.

For now we're aiming towards NN/YY (using SP ABS Color Codes) so that other users can mix and match our other yellow keycaps onto the set if needed.
It is the exact same color scheme as the Yellow Awesome Face keycaps, Yellow Smile! Keycap, and the Chickoco Keycap.

We are open to suggestions of different colors like a more dark golder tone!

is the windows flag definite?  or will there possibly be another modifier available?
personally i'd go windows 8 key over the flag myself lol

We can change it to the windows 8 key if you guys like :]

Unfortunately we cannot give an estimated/expected cost because this will be released as a group buy exclusive and the price is directly proportional to the amount ordered. Rest assured it will most likely be well under $90 for a basic 87 key setup.

No no no!  Keep it as the Smile! yellow, it is so nice :)

Only 87?  Will a numpad option be available?

I think the window key should be the honeycomb legend, ctrl should be text and ditch the M$ logo. Or, at least a 1.25x option for window/super.

That's probably more coherent.  Black is very stark with a bright color next to it.  Dark gray will have some tone and blend a bit better.

is that the final bee (esc) key design? at glance it resembles more of a wasp than bee
would also prefer the boxy windows logo than the wavy version but if there some other design/logo, much better!
but then, it could just be me

don't mind me though, i'm definitely in for this one  ;)

Oh GOD NO!!!

Please anything else but that awful 8 logo.  Remember that Millions in the WORLD that will never use Windows 8, they out number the 8 users almost 1000000 to 1.

So design and/or use something other than Windows 8 logo on that key.  It's almost like pure abuse to use that foul OS logo over everyone's wishes  >:( .

Please forgive my hatred for this OS but there you go, there is someone out there that really hates their current operating system.  I have tried to like it, have installed it onto numerous PC's but I have come to the sad conclusion that Windows 7 still stands head and shoulders way above this current OS.

<-- switched to windows 8 after years of windows 7.  And I use other operating systems, like UNIX at work, Linux in VMs, etc.  W8 really grew on me and does not hinder my productivity (generally the opposite).

Post by: CommunistWitchDr on Wed, 26 June 2013, 08:08:00
Windows 8 sucks, but I will say it is at least better than 7 since it at least tried to make a package manager, sort of. Not a very good one, more like a phone app store for the desktop, but still something.

An operating system without a bloody proper package manager isn't worth the dvd it's burnt to.

We have good news and bad news...
The Polycarbonate keycaps did not turn out so well so we currently only have the option of having them on Yellow translucent keycaps with white legends.
It is either that or we do them on standard black with yellow legends.
(http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b13/InSenG/Blackkeywithtranslucentfirstshot.jpg)

We will produce more prototypes with a lighter black to check contrast! We have a feeling it will turn out nicely.

We do have some questions for the community.
Would a translucent yellow beehive crtl/windows key be appealing?

Let us know your feedback!

Title: Re: [Preview] BumbleBee Set
Post by: rowdy on Wed, 10 July 2013, 01:05:32
That sample would be kinda hard to see the legends without backlighting, and will probably vary depending on the colour of the backlighting (with white and yellow likely producing the best results).

Yellow translucent with white legends looks good!

i don't mind translucent yellow keycaps with white legend for the bee (esc key)
however, if the same is applied to the bottom row (ie. ctrl, alt, windows, context menu), i feel that it makes the whole set more yellow (not that i'm against yellow (which i like... esp translucent ones!)
since the original layout has these keys as the 'black' or darker 'border', would it be possible to have translucent black with yellow legends?

also, is it possible for the keys with the diamond and star, be something else (more related to the set)?
Title: Re: [Preview] BumbleBee Set
Post by: Elrick on Wed, 10 July 2013, 05:07:32
Better go back on standard

I agree as well.  Better to retain the original look of the key-set with vivid yellow and black.

After all design of these key-caps needs to include the original design and do not deviate away from it.  Because SP is having great trouble in working with polycarbonate then best to let them do what they do best, simple ABS with the required colours.

Remember if you want a unique looking key-set for everyone out there you need to stick with the original design, that will sell quicker than some Dark coloured polycarbonate set, that relies on heavy keyboard lighting, to highlight the design.

The win key should be 4 hexagons and the alt should be stripes or something.

Sneak peek. Coming soon.

Very nice.  I told you Yellow and Black go together like a house on fire.

I don't know if Dark Grey will have the same effect with allowing the yellow to stand out brilliantly but it's worth a try.

That's true, the yellow really pops on pure black.  Both color schemes are nice in different ways.  Black would be great on pure black keyboards, but dark gray for most other cases.

Hell yeah I was there! The first good thing to happen in RI (in my lifetime)! Me and two friends went all 3 days. 20 minute drive from his house. That's the best thing about RI. No matter where you are, you can get to your destination (in RI) in less than an hour. Other than that, this place has noting to do.

Also. Did you do the scavenger hunt / go with a friend? I feel like I talked to someone from Ohio haha. WHAT IF WE MET.
