thanks for sharing! As I suspected it's really too dark.

PS: can I use your pictures for keypuller.com?

What ErgoDox set did we end up going with?

Matt3o · « **Reply #203 on:** Thu, 23 April 2015, 01:39:41 »

still waiting for the quote..........

the ergodox is blank. If ergodox guys are interested I might be willing to run an ergodox-only GB will all the legends.

Loligagger · « **Reply #204 on:** Thu, 23 April 2015, 02:37:13 »

I'd be interested, at least.

I agree with Oobly that TBN is a pinch too light, but TAA is probably too dark. Also, looking at the actual keycaps they look slightly darker than the color chip. So my fear is that TAA would end up basically black.

IIRC the Filco Doubleshot SA set is also in TAA color. It looks as good as black under most lighting, the brown only really comes out in direct sunlight.

Here are some shots of them on my Poker II: http://imgur.com/a/G8y8X

In direct sunlight it looks like this

Thanks for the pics! It's great to see this colour combination under different lighting conditions. I agree that TAA is too dark for this set, but I really do love that combo.

I think TAA is fine because it reminds me of Dark Chocolate, which I personally love especially when it comes out of Ecuador ........mmmmmm chocolate.

Matt3o,
Is the ergo kit missing the ~/` key? It looks like it has the other "missing" 5 keys that are in a normal board but not that one.

Also - I realize you're already getting quotes... but: is anyone else interested in 1.25 or 1.5 mods like the original DSA Retro kits 8 and 9 (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=40175.0)? My custom boards use 1.5 keys for everything and Kit 9 (1.5 mods) would be very helpful...

Ergodox kit will contain just blanks modifiers. You still need the base kit.

GOT PRICING!

Have to run numbers with BunnyLake and then to the group buy!

The only problem I see is that the base set is split into two color ways so we won't reach the highest tiers. Anyway I'm pretty sure a base kit should go way under $100.

Later!

I'm so excited for the launch of this baby!

The SA profile was so close for me to try, with the 1976-set, but I was denied due to the lack of colemak kits.
I was sort of happy tho, as time passed, because what my heart truly desires is a fully sculpted set.

Thanks Matt3o for adding the colemak/dvorak-kit. I will make it tip on my own if I have to, the crave is real.

Didn't know SP could ever make full PBT Spacebar keys, in SA Profile or is Melissa just joking with you here?

, always get cut down when something impossible proves to be it. Shall now crawl into a Quart of Beer and drown my sorrow of disbelief and shame for imaging that we could actually own any PBT SA Profiled Spacers.

Retro has so played with my emotions and it hasn't even started yet, can you imagine what will happen when it's finally launched.........

FuriousGeorge · « **Reply #233 on:** Wed, 29 April 2015, 17:39:36 »

Is the space bar in the small space kit 4 units or 4.5 units? Would it be possible to get a 4.5 unit space for boards like the tex beetle and I think the pure pro? I seem to remember SP doing a 4.5 sa space, but I could be mistaken.

I don't think Matt3o has explained his plan in detail, but it sounds like he may be trying to arrange something with CtrlAlt to have them do order fulfillment. SP will mold the caps, of course, but I think he's trying to avoid running it through PMK.

We desperately need the Retro here on Geekhack because it represents the absolute BEST of Matt3o's work thus far. Privileged to have his consent in doing it all in SA Profile, which shall be the MOST lusted after key-set released for 2015.

If you couldn't already tell I'm very interested in this set... when I first registered here on GH I saw the DSA retro but was too late to make an order. Beautiful color scheme!

How about some with the PETSCII graphics symbols on them?

Alternate core alphas would be cool but I'm not sure about non-centred text placement being possible, or even a small selection with symbols semi-suitable for pgup,dn,home,end and such.

something like:
