[IC] Flatline Black and Cyan SA profile keyset (on hold see OP)

[Niomosy]

Awaiting quote and time slots from SP!

Also we are going with FLATLINE.

Heh, I didn't think you guys would actually go with that given the obvious ties via parody to PuLSE but it's a solid choice.

[Sifo]

I'm not very creative and honestly the name of the set doesn't matter too much to me. It doesn't exactly need an identity, it's just cyan and black. If I had it my way I'd call it the Hatsune Miku set

[Liocer]

There's a certain irony in the name, missed a trick with it not all being Row3 ;P

[LXXXIX]

But she's more green than cyan.

[FranksNewLiver]

Could we get a r2 page up,r3 page down, and r4 end to give at least a little coverage for the ever increasingly popular X5% layouts?

[tangkims]

We're looking to get this under $100 for each set. We will be buying up a certain amount of sets to help reach MOQ faster. The GB will only be open for maybe 2 weeks before closing, and it will start ASAP, maybe no later than the start of February depending on how fast SP can work with me.

Check out the sweet new banner btw in the OP

Signature one here, although feel free to use LXXXIX's as well as he did a great job.

Wow.. if this is the price for real... i don't see how PuLse could compete. I'm down for a set

[Sifo]

I'm waiting for the initial quote from SP. As you can imagine I'm getting a lot of requests for functionality support for other layouts and the more I add it will jack up the price for everyone which I don't wanna do.

[riotonthebay]

I understand the desire for a 1-kit simple buy, but it seems to me that there are two camps here, those that want to use whatever layout they choose, and another that just wants a simple, affordable set.

Could we consider doing a hyper-simple, 87-key base set, and an all-the-extras set that would bundle numpad, tsangan, alt mods, 40% support, etc.?

Since you really wanna stick it to MiTo you should run this the same time as the PuLse and see what happens. You're going to be overwhelmed with the amount of orders since 1. Everyone will probably get their sets much sooner and 2. Price is going to be much cheaper than PuLse

Considering this as well but then it makes the additional support kits much less affordable and it's a hefty amount of keys. It seems like everyone has some weird ass layout nowadays anyway. I think more so it would make more sense to keep the jd40/45 kits separate with some additional kit support for other weird kits, since there's a lot more use for tsangan and Tenkey and iso.

I already have plans to have this up before pulse so long as SP works with me. SP however is making direct profit from pulse so we'll see what their business practice is like.

He's not trying to stick it to MiTo he's just trying to make a set that everyone wants now.

[FrostyToast]

What about stretch goals for kits?
It would be great if we could unlock more caps as we get more orders.

Though people still need to realise that not all sets can be fulfilled.
I keep hearing people asking for international kits and HHKB kits which are functionally not that important at all; you can still build a board with the layout you want, just with different legends.

not everyone, I can assure you that I don't want it

Yeah this is exactly what I'm thinking. I personally use caps lock as ctrl but I'm considering cutting out those keys simply because you can still use the caps locks. 1.25x fn isn't a big deal either because even if it says menu you know it's your fn key. It just comes down to what the cost is. it's currently 8 am ish in West coast so I'm hoping SP gets back to me asap

Fair enough. I think if it's a set that "everyone wants" then isn't keeping the simple layout with no extras the best way to do it to reduce cost? There are obviously going to be people that want extra kits for custom builds but most users even in GH still have standard layouts.

Simple layout with basic support such as Tenkey and tsangan and UK iso is how I'd go about it which is what I sent to SP. If I can add a few keys that covers wide range of other layouts for low cost then I am willing to do so. It's all in Sp's hands at this point

That sounds like a solid plan. But the real question is... will "FLaTLiNE" be a one time run? 

[Sifo]

One time run from me I ain't doing it again. Anyone is free to do as many rounds as they want though

I am officially not adding any additional keys after jd40/45 support, only removing or splitting it up.

My rendering guy is mad because I keep asking for revisions

[rainb1ood]

Open source group buy!

I'm all for splitting them up as well

[Edmundoh]

Haha I feel for him, looking forward to the GB, Sifo!
I wanted to ask if you've included a 1.75 shift anywhere, keen to put it on my whitefox when it arrives

Yes short right shift and 1x Fn is included

The hell is FLaTLiNE?
It's flatline. You know. Because flatlines aren't wavy.

why not FLATLINE then? The top/bottom of the letters line up that way

Who knows what I was trying to say. I think I had something but I instead drew a blank.
All I can see is a line where a word should be.
Just a plain, flat line.

[livingspeedbump]

So many artisans just did Hyperfuse colors, I see a lot of cool caps being made to match this (These?) sets in the near future  Pretty sure Bro and HKP are already working on caps.

I do like BBJ quite a bit, definitely more than I thought I would. Not quite as in your face as BBQ. Will be handing over money.

[livingspeedbump]

This is actually a very cool little point/topic. Passing along blessings of sets to others if you no longer want to run a set is a pretty stellar idea. You can always just hand the set to PMK and let them run it as requested by the community as well. Basically just drop off the design and forget about the rest

I should have melissa's email somewhere in my email archives but I used the contact form this time around. I'll give em a reminder email tonight

[hashbaz]

I think it's probably all forwarded to Melissa's inbox.  )

[mashby]

Wow. This set actually looks pretty decent. I'm surprised. 

[MythicalWagyu]

Dem renders are hot, the price point sounds great and I love the new name. Good work Sifo et al.

[qazeqaz]

These are really nice , I would love a set. But the 3rd photos colors look a bit off of the others, or is it just me?

[Sifo]

They're just mock ups.

The color code is BBJ from SP



Also ya'll in this thread talking like you expected something less than amazing?

[Elrick]

Wow. This set actually looks pretty decent. I'm surprised. 

Sifo's involved, what more can be said    .

His BJ choice is sublime and shall further enhance this colour-way.

[UsualSuspectXXX]

BBJ definitely seems like a much more pleasing color than BBQ. Never actually took the time to check the color chips.

[bocahgundul]

I love this set! The color combo is really great!

[DALExSNAIL]

This anticipation is driving me insane. I NEED this.

[Niomosy]

BBJ works though I honestly don't mind the BBQ.  The set looks good either way and glad to see it happening.
