FIVEDOWN keys
« on: Thu, 03 March 2011, 10:00:13 »
A last minute addition to the list of things you can order in the Round 3 group buy!!

A '5' key for the number pad that has a down arrow on it. No nub.

Available in black or white (ivory) to match classic Cherry key colours.

Cheap! Since I'm ordering a lifetime supply of both colours :-)

Vote for FIVEDOWNBLACK and FIVEDOWNWHITE. Each kit contains a single key.

Here is a (crap) mock-up of how it will look:



But, the current plan is that it will be nub-less:

How much for a "7 up yours" key?

All my boards are tenkeyless but I'd be totally over this if I had a numpad! A 5 with an arrow on it?? OMG that's mind blowing-ly awesome, must have!

Looks great, thanks!

How close a match to the Cherry arrow do you think theirs will be? Do they have more than one style of arrow available?

Although, I'd still buy them anyway :-)

@7bit: just a very slight hijack - if you have the numbers handy, could you tell me, please:
- cost/conditions and MOQ for a custom DS keycap with their library of symbols/fonts
- what's their library of symbols/fonts
- cost/conditions and MOQ for a custom DS keycap with user-provided vector graphics

Thanks.

- MOQ? What color is that supposed to be?
$0.4 for 25 keys.

- They know what they can do and also know what they can't do. They seem to have it in their brains. Nothing is wirtten down, so they can't give us a list.

- $4 for 25 keys.

Minimum Order Quantity.

Thanks for the information. Not bad prices, I would've jumped in earlier if I knew.

Hijack mode:

25 normal-size keycaps with the text "SYS"
25 wider-size (like CTRL/ALT/WIN/MENU on Filco) keycaps with the text "SYS"

Do I get choice of colors?

No time for vector, though. Next G.O. I lost the thread after the first 30 or so pages.

I'm off for holly days until Sunday 20th March 2011!

The vote-system will work without me. Just send your order lists to me, 7bit_vote.

You will get some statistics from time to time.

Don't ask 7bit or me any questions during that time. We will not answer!

There will be no update of payment status. Anybody should keep track of that themselves! It is sufficient to pay when I'm back again.

For questions, please read the first post in the main thread.

Have a lot of fun ...
