This set looks awesome!
Yet another sign that I need to give Macross a watch.

Also you should consider that their profile will allow the alphas to be moved around, thus the set will be a good resource to try different layout other than ANSI.

I hope this happens....

this is happening... as soon as SP come back from holidays

Hmm, this set might actually give me a reason not to sell my Filco.

Might have to make a keycap out of the head from my vf-1s model to go with this set. Definitely will be in on this.

If everyone wants DCS then so be it. It's what the public wants then you have to deliver it.

Hope it all works out perfectly for you. But then again it's Matt3o here so it should be flawless

Sorry didn't mean to cause any strife with your future group buy, took something and everything is kind of off-kilter at this moment in time. Please forgive, my mistake.

It was my fault because I knew he was doing a DCS version but I forgot which key-set he was doing it in. BECAUSE matt3o never lists the front page of his 'possible' Group Buy with what key-cap profile he will be using I naturally thought that this one was going to be a DCS version.

I normally don't read all through the postings here due to not having copious amount of time to peruse all of Geekhack but this is entirely my fault for assuming the wrong profile that's all.

Plus I experimented with something weird a day ago whilst off shift and now everything is a lot clearer.

Glad everything is better for you now. And for the GB we are all clear as crystal it will be DSA.

I do not see a second left shift key in 2.25x size. You wrote it would be included.

Matt3o · « **Reply #68 on:** Sat, 04 January 2014, 17:56:22 »

I was referring to the DSA thing.

I'll be adding some keys next week and post the final product.

Matt3o · « **Reply #69 on:** Sat, 04 January 2014, 17:58:02 »

also please help me finding at least another Macross related logo to use.

I agree with everyone that we should have a zentradi cap as an option, though this set did start out based on the vf-1s, so it doesn't exactly fit the theme. Either way, here's a copy of their logo without the glossy highlighting and background.

Matt3o · « **Reply #72 on:** Sun, 05 January 2014, 02:27:33 »

WATCH Out.....he's trying to hypnotize everyone.

Make sure you keep the Skull and Crossbones no matter what. Very nice layout.

JayKthnx · « **Reply #74 on:** Sun, 05 January 2014, 03:23:23 »

Honestly robotech didn't have a lot of logos considering the number of military units throughout its various arcs. Especially during the macross saga. Best thing to possibly change would be the alphanumerics into the zentradi alphabet.

Matt3o · « **Reply #75 on:** Sun, 05 January 2014, 03:56:17 »

that would be a bit too much

Matt3o · « **Reply #76 on:** Sun, 05 January 2014, 04:00:56 »

the only other interesting symbol I've found is this

I think it's macross frontier...

JayKthnx · « **Reply #77 on:** Sun, 05 January 2014, 04:30:40 »

Could do the alphabet as an optional like the rebel set has. I honestly like the set as is though. Anyone that wants the set will know that it's robotech as it is now, but it's not over the top either.

Matt3o · « **Reply #78 on:** Sun, 05 January 2014, 04:37:09 »

would be nice to make 3 logos for the 3 fighter modes...

JayKthnx · « **Reply #79 on:** Sun, 05 January 2014, 04:51:22 »

Let me scan the show. I'm pretty sure there are symbols in the cockpit for the three control levers.

I was incorrect, though you could still copy the style.

It was already in the numpad? I have not noticed that before sorry. I think it would be a good idea to include that other logo in the miscellaneous subset for those not requiring the numpad.

that exactly the point, making the numpad more appealing

That's S.M.S. from Macross Frontier. Same for this one;

Skull Squadron

It would fit the theme though. Or maybe keep it for a follow up set... ;D

Matt3o · « **Reply #87 on:** Sun, 05 January 2014, 12:28:31 »

just saying...

there would be the "danger" logo which I believe is pretty standard for fighters

I like the danger logo, even if it's not specific to the set, it fits in with the fighter/aircraft concept.

You could put NO STEP on a non-stepped caps lock :p

Close to perfection

I just have to find the right graphics for the 3 modes

(also I don't know if the "DANGER" logo is too small)

I have no clue what Macross or RObotech is but I love the original and revised set.

It's a great show. Fun space battles and possibly the best romances of any story since Romeo and Juliet.

Matt3o · « **Reply #94 on:** Sun, 05 January 2014, 13:14:59 »

maybe I can merge the black stripe and the black alpha

That depends on prices I think. If the main set price does not get too expensive with the merger. Otherwise, I think to keep them separated makes more sense price-wise. I hope many GHers go for this set to keep prices low.

Matt3o · « **Reply #96 on:** Sun, 05 January 2014, 13:20:34 »

they are all 1u (most), price should be ok

JayKthnx · « **Reply #97 on:** Sun, 05 January 2014, 16:47:36 »

The egress badge looks nice. I'll check my vf-1s model for more inspiration on the mode images.

JayKthnx · « **Reply #98 on:** Sun, 05 January 2014, 17:53:13 »

found this on the box

(see next post)

cleaned it up and filled in a few spots to this

(see next post)

I have a clean .png of that without the watermark, background black, etc. for you if you would like to use them. I also have a watermark-free copy of the original image if you would like that as well.
also, I found this on google.
hope this is of some assistance.
