Author Topic: IC - 'Miami' 87+ set (Read 67253 times)

IvanIvanovich · « **on:** Mon, 20 February 2012, 21:44:48 »

I've become aware that I am not alone on wanting a pink on teal set of keycaps... so I am willing to take on another buy now that the 'poker suit GB' is essentially wrapped up until I receive the order.
I am going to call it 'Miami' since the colorway reminds me of that city... If you've been there, you know why.

I do want to keep it straight forward, simple and as inexpensive as possible. It will be doubleshots done with SP stock font, standard upper left position. It will be only available in ANSI 87 set following modern standards for keysizes. This means it will be made to fit typical Filco, Leopold, Ducky, etc.

BASE SET:
[ Attachment Invalid Or Does Not Exist ] 41440[/ATTACH]

Extra keys:
[ Attachment Invalid Or Does Not Exist ] 41441[/ATTACH] [ Attachment Invalid Or Does Not Exist ] 41443[/ATTACH] [ Attachment Invalid Or Does Not Exist ] 41442[/ATTACH]
Miami 1.25 winkey replacement, flamingo 1.25 menu replacement, geek hack R1 esc replacement, geek hack 'monthly style' plain text version, alternate WASD, others possible TBD...

Preliminary pricing is as follows:
30 sets $84.65 / set

50 sets $63.24 / set

75 sets $56.11 / set

This pricing includes the base set AND the extras.
Buy is open worldwide.

example of keycaps in the actual colors (colors may not look 100% accurate due to lack of proper white balance / flash / and(or) your monitor calibration) RCR (pink) and VBV (aqua):

No, for making something that may bleed my wallet dry. Too many 87+ GBs happening recently.

Do you want an image like tsangans Cheese GB?

Lets do it! Quick, someone with photoshop skills get us a rendition going! :dance:

This kinda destroys the point of me delaying the cream cheese and green GB but w/e

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #10 on:** Mon, 20 February 2012, 22:09:30 »

I can do a mock up hazeluff, but if you're bored, go ahead. I am not sure what is closest to SP's 'gorton' font that I have... I am still trying to get my 60,000+ fonts organized, I am on O currently after several days... I let it get incredibly disorganized and full of dupes over the last few years.

Sorry for making people want to spend their money... I would like to at least try and keep it under $65 a set, so hopefully we can get enough numbers to do so.

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #14 on:** Mon, 20 February 2012, 22:23:57 »

Pretty sweet... but I only intended for the alternates to be swapped for the non alphas, otherwise all the same colorway, not like oldschool. if you have the time can you do a second rendition with the proposed alternates? I was thinking to do the 'geek hack' and 'Miami' keys legends at a 45° for something a little different. Also it popped into my head to maybe do a flamingo for the other win key...

reaper, if you have some alternate ideas feel free to share, this is still in the planning stages.

I'd buy a Gamer/WASD kit if it wasn't on white keys.

Give me a list of keys i need to swap to teal on pink. Also will get this done 2morrow night. I need to go to bed now ><.
When I'm back from uni 2morrow I'll have your flamingo, miami and GH keys added with the right colors on the layout.

I'm thinking of doing maybe some cursive writing for miami? like the one on the GTA cover.

I don't know... it's just too much pink for my taste. lol But of course, that's just me. A lot of folks probably like this color scheme (tsangan, demik, etc). =D

Plus the fact that I don't have a pink/teal CC to go with it. =(

I like it too. We're like the pink brigade of GH....

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #26 on:** Mon, 20 February 2012, 22:49:22 »

Well it is too much pink for my taste too... LOL. I had no intention of making anything but the legends in pink, except on the alternates. I was wanting to go for ALL teal keys with pink legends only on the base set. That is hazeluff's interpretation, not necessarily mine.

Did i get it wrong. Subliminal mind told me to do this, because it's HAWT.

But I think you did say Pink on Teal, so I did get it the wrong way round...>.>

(Now your post about he colors wrong makes so much sense). almost 5am, I usually stop making sense/make sense of things by now.

SP has RCS...It's not very bright

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #33 on:** Mon, 20 February 2012, 23:00:57 »

Nah, I was thinking more of RCM on VCO. I have an RCM key and it is nice looking.

hazeluff · « **Reply #34 on:** Mon, 20 February 2012, 23:01:59 »

RCM? I can't see = /

tsangan · « **Reply #35 on:** Mon, 20 February 2012, 23:04:09 »

VBV would look better then VCO

VCO is too green

I agree, can someone show me RCM or was that a typo. Cos I can only see one pink T-T

tsangan · « **Reply #37 on:** Mon, 20 February 2012, 23:06:01 »

From all my SP ABS colours RCS is the only pink I see maybe they have a new one?

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #38 on:** Mon, 20 February 2012, 23:06:43 »

Maybe it's RCU... the handwriting on those swatches... VBV may be better. My monitor is calibrated, but it's still a crappy TN. Whatever the WASD 'teal' keys that I got in the recent SP crapbags is is what i would want.

Kisakuku · « **Reply #39 on:** Mon, 20 February 2012, 23:07:33 »

I think lysol might be a bit color blind and meant RCU :behindsofa:

tsangan · « **Reply #40 on:** Mon, 20 February 2012, 23:09:41 »

RCU is red ._.

It's orange, That's lame. I wanted pink

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #42 on:** Mon, 20 February 2012, 23:12:06 »

Well my monitor is not the best... but if i hold up the 'man' key I got from a crapbag trade it is a match for RCU, and it looks flamingo pink to me in real life. I think that is closer to ideal than RCS, otherwise we are talking custom color and big bucks.

I will do my best to take a white balanced pic of my RCU key and my 'teal' wasd keys tomorrow.

Got photos of it?

I'm affraid of moniter/photo calibration errors. Because It's really really orange to me. At best it's peach from what I can see.

tsangan · « **Reply #44 on:** Mon, 20 February 2012, 23:14:19 »

It's red-orange on my monitor definitely not pink

hazeluff · « **Reply #45 on:** Mon, 20 February 2012, 23:18:00 »

lysol, maybe you've mistaken what you have for the RCS Pink. If what you have in your hand is the right color, we just need to see what color it actually matches.

demik · « **Reply #46 on:** Mon, 20 February 2012, 23:19:58 »

is it BBQ and RCS?

that pink sucks, not bright enough.

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #47 on:** Mon, 20 February 2012, 23:22:08 »

I just had a quick look through my collection of keycaps, and i seem to have an RCJ too as an F6, very different from the 'man' key I have. I will take a pic of both side by side next to the teal, and let the debate continue... tomorrow. I don't have a digicam, I'm still one of those horrible film people, so I will need to go borrow one. I'm not wasting a $15 roll of film for this.

Idk how I feel about all these full set group buys popping up. I think the only thing bad about it is that people may have to compromise on which ones to get since theyre gonna be pretty close together, like this one, rag's and tsang's.
