Production Progress Bar:
║██████████████████████████║

This is the official order thread for the Weezer Group Buy this Cherry MX key will be a Row 2 key to replace the "W" key or any key in the row below the numbers. I have gotten initial approval from Melissa and price quotes below. I would like to skip the whole IC and just hope that we make it to 50, which I think we should have no trouble doing. If we do not make 50, I will cancel the GB.

Won't it just get canceled once sp realizes it is copywrited material?

I sent it to Melissa already, I was upfront with her what it was and that I do not know if it is copyrighted. She sent me quotes. It is a possibility legal may step in, but for now we are on.

alaricljs · « **Reply #7 on:** Tue, 10 April 2012, 14:21:21 »

For my own curiosity why is it no-one bakes in the legend fee? The worst variance (for this one) is ~$.23 more than the true cost.

Code: [Select]

 50 @ $3.32    $166
 75 @ $2.36    $177
100 @ $1.89    $189
150 @ $1.41    $211.50
200 @ $1.175   $235
250 @ $1.03    $257.50
500 @ $0.74    $370

So I beat on the numbers some more... fix the $$ typo up top, $.23 not $.13, and get 50% more keycaps for only $11 ... SP and their crazy price tiers.

Updated OP with mockup from Hazeluff - Looks great!!

Elrobo · « **Reply #11 on:** Tue, 10 April 2012, 16:10:39 »

Sent PM for 2 keys. Also if this sort of thing is cool with SP, I suggest a future Foo Fighters F key.

sth · « **Reply #12 on:** Tue, 10 April 2012, 16:12:01 »

I would imagine that both of these keys are in the clear since they're basically just letters. Here's hoping.

i3oilermaker · « **Reply #13 on:** Wed, 11 April 2012, 08:45:20 »

I would consider doing a FF afterwards if we can make the Weezer key a reality. Lets get those orders in! :biggrin1:

Weezer fan or not, its still a nice looking key :whistle:

shawn o · « **Reply #20 on:** Wed, 11 April 2012, 13:13:02 »

The logo is legally protected so I'm sure they will cancel. Maybe try and get approval to use it?

i3oilermaker · « **Reply #21 on:** Wed, 11 April 2012, 13:27:34 »

That may be the case - but Melissa has given me the initial go-ahead. If it cancels, bummer, but right now it is on.

keyboardlover · « **Reply #22 on:** Wed, 11 April 2012, 13:33:50 »

What if you made it dye-subbed pbt and in a shade of blue that matches the dye sub group buy I did?

(It's pretty darn close to the blue album color).

P.s. I love that album.
