[IC] RetroBlight - Classic, now with more yellow! (On Hold -_- )

[TheOpposition]

I love the large font, I'd be all over it.

[djpyle]

This looks fantastic! I'll definitely be down for some alphas plus enough blanks to fill in my Planck. Any chance of a blank 2u for a Planck spacebar? Or, better yet, a full Plank kit? I don't know if there'd be enough interest to tip it, but I'd be all over it. Either way, I'm really excited about this one. Great work!

[Elrick]

I have no idea how much the alpha set + mod kit will cost but I can say that there are several extra keys in here which would bump up the cost slightly.
The set is split up into several kits which would reduce the price for some. However, unfortunately, it will be more expensive for those who want everything.

Couldn't care less of the cost, just want a line of these babies laid out for me as my wallet is ready for that train line of never ending ecstasy  .

She'll pass out from all that pleasure whilst I just sit and watch -  .

Eh. I might do a full revamp and include kits for everything like what happened with Pulse. Since this is being done through SP we don't need to worry about reaching moq as long as there is some sort of interest.

Love the big letters, I would be part of the GB.

For sure, do a scatter-gun approach, offering everything under the sun then as the MOQ ticks down you'll see what passes and goes through to their molds for final production  .

Remember keep the colour yellow-cream, like a faded tampon left on the window sill for a few years........

Would it be the same as for the Penumbra set?

Should be. I'll contact Bunny and ask what colours he used.

I'm not really fond of the Penumbra yellow-ish color to be honest. I was just asking as a matter of comparison.

[HydraDyne]

Mom! I want it... NOW!

[Elrick]

Here I was thinking we were compadres, both interested in the same things, but now you've ripped my heart right out of my chest  .

How could you not like the Penumbra Yellow Shade it's PERFECT in every way.  This key-set needs that out-dated colour scheme because it represents a bygone era from our good old days, when we were young.

PLEASE to the organizer here, don't change the current colour-way it's perfect as is, just supply it as full contoured set and I'll buy at least 4 complete sets of this  .

Ooohh man. I almost cried! Don't be like that. We're still Hack'd by Geeks compadres.

I've never seen the penumbra IRL so maybe I could like it.

[Cods]

Fully contoured SA - check.
Light colours - check.
OK, I'm in. Nice.

[Elrick]

I've never seen the penumbra IRL so maybe I could like it.

It would be like your first time, neatly separated by your razor on a flat mirror and the anticipation of breathing in that whole line of perfection  .

Once you've tried it you'll be back here on Geekhack wanting MORE and MORE of it.........  Key-cap nirvana will be yours forever more  .

Well the purpose of this set is to have yellow.
The colours have absolutely been finalized. Not changing at all. It's just that I need to finalize all the packs and wait for the other buys to finish up.

Frosty ole mate, PLEASE include a full 1800 key-set with this Group Buy, because we need to include some more love for the TX1800 keyboard that's about to arrive into everyone's hands  .

I'll do a mod kit for that! I absolutely love that layout!

Oh YES, a like minded soul who has seen the 1800 light.  Thank you  .

[SL89]

if 1800 is on the menu then i may be down

[Chedda7]

Would it be possible to add a 1.5u [Backspace] and 1u [\|] key for us with HHKB lookalikes?  If so I will be all over this.

You sure about adding these huge Profiles onto a TINY keyboard like a HHKB ?

Usually standard DCS, DSA or Cherry Profiles would suit but adding these SA babies to it, will make it look like the Rocky Mountains which you'll eventually hate.

I'm running SA on a couple of 65%ish sized FC660Ms, couldn't be happier!

Cods you're a freak, loving a 65% only but we're talking about a smaller (calculator sized) keyboard layout here.

[slaction]

I like it, I"d be interested as well.

I may very well not like it once I actually see how they look/feel. I have been on a SA kick lately after falling in love with a few Topre HiPro boards . 

[trigun0x2]

Looks great and love the SA! Count me in

From what I can tell the base kit could pretty much cover an entire planck board.
You might have to order some relegendable keys to fill in the bottom row however.
I hope that would be good enough for you.

[Supergeek]

I really like it, but hopefully there's a colored mod kit that isn't so many colors. I like a little color, but like 3-4 different colors in the mods would be too much, aesthetically. And mods the SAME color as the alphas is just boring.

Point taken.
I have an idea for a mods set that might please people.
Once I find the time I will have a large update with all of the mod kits. Once we move along and other group buys clean up we can get really serious with pricing and the voting.

[ConscienceDrop]

PBT?

[Ngt]

PBT?

Double shot ABS SA profile, IIRC.

[Leimi]

Count me in the GB if a fully blank set is available

I am in. So in. Kind of excited.

Is this dead?

[Cods]

Hope it's not dead!

[FrostyToast]

I might be able to roll out an update soon.
Perhaps not today but I did manage to get some work done a few days ago.
With SPs new plan to just produce voted in sets themselves I am now even more inclined to get this rolled out in time for that.
Sorry for the lack of updates, I just got lazy.

[Cods]

Sweet! There's a fair bit of fully sculpted SA going around at the moment, but I'm really keen on lighter colours.
This and Penumbra MkII would be great...

[john2x]

What is this "Penumbra MkII" that you speak of? Is there another round coming? 

[Cods]

It may be that I have misread, but reading through a number of threads there were secondhand references to a second round.

[john2x]

Ah, the rumored second coming. I heard the heavens will split open when it happens. 

[zabuza1997]

When will this take time, bro?

[blastoid]

Looking forward to this set! I'm mainly replying to the thread so I don't lose it again. 

[ocodo]

Too late to get in on this?!

If I can, I want to be in on it.

[zabuza1997]

Fcking looking 4ward to an update
