(GB) PENUMBRA SA KEYSET(shipping)

[taylordcraig]

i would like to re-iterate on my eminent interest in this set in the GMK flavor it would probably be my endgame keycap set. i have ordered the SA one, but i tried the profile meanwhile and i do not really like it. i will keep it for collector reasons for the time being, but it's unlikely that i would use it.

GMK on the other hand.... 

FTFY 

i am perfectly fine with GMK, as long as it is the profile outlined in RED 

(i think the 8mm height is the closest one to DSA)

ooo with optional led window.
on topic: i jumped on this extra sale, so excited for this set.

[StylinGreymon]

Does anyone know if these are gonna be matte like the Commando set, or shiny like the Calm Depths set?

[Photoelectric]

Shiny, I believe.  The true retro!   (Also use-friendly)

oooo i'm excited to see this stock shiny~ i use mainly pbt so i'm stuck with matte all the time

[StylinGreymon]

I'm not sure which I'd prefer, as this will be my first SA set.

[VesperSAINT]

I'm not sure which I'd prefer, as this will be my first SA set.

First for many, including myself. Being ABS, they might as well be shiny to begin with. A friend who uses ABS has like SUPER shiny keys and they feel so smooth and nice, and I always said, "if only all the key caps felt like these" So excited!

[Photoelectric]

My shiny beige Cherry doubleshots feel wonderful.  I think I prefer them to PBT now.

All ABS moulded keys need to be GLOSSY.  It's the only finish that enables easy typing with any key profile.  Needless to say, if you go SA then you need Glossy to go hand in hand with it  .

Have to somewhat agree. I don't understand why they try to make ABS textured (we have PBT for that). ABS will eventually shine anyway with a month or two of use, and feels better anyway like that.

Hnnngg... I seriously can't wait for this set. I haven't tried or experienced something new with keyboards in awhile. This will have me typing for fun again

Ohhhhh man, really going to have to find a set of those alternative alphas. They're even more beautiful than I'd imagined!

[BunnyLake]

Yeahhhh I'm struggling not to sell my GMK sets right now being without a job, don't think I need to be buying more stuff. I'll get a set on the classifieds when things improve 

[Merloobi]

Oh man, I really like the white alphas over the cream ones. I don't know if I can afford another set of alphas especially since I've had to hold off on a matching numpad set.

i think if you look at the dox pic, it better represents the color, i dont think itll be that rich i think its just the lighting

Yeah white balance is a *****, I'm sure the standard alphas will look amazing in person.

[MOZ]

Can't wait. Alphas do look a little too saturated, but I'm sure it's just the photos.

[skuko]

DO WANT ROUND 2 IN DSA PROFILE !!!!!

[kektr0city]

Bunny, I was under the impression that the ErgoDox set was supposed to be all dark blue keys so as to be compatible with both alpha sets. If that's not the case, can I swap my alternate alphas for a standard alphas set?

[MOZ]

I'll swap with you my classic for your alternate.

[bueller]

I'll swap with you my classic for your alternate.

Dammit. Soooo close!

[kektr0city]

I'll swap with you my classic for your alternate.

Depending on what Bunny has to say, I may take you up on that.

[MOZ]

If bunny sir does not entertain this,  I don't mind doing the swap after receiving the set.

[bueller]

And I'll go backup if for some reason MOZ changes his mind or it falls through

[BunnyLake]

if you guys can sort it among yourselves that makes my life easier, but if you cant shoot me a pm ill see what i can do for you

Well the issue I'm raising is that the kit mock up from the site showed all dark blue keys. The kit you posted a pic of shows a yellow modifier key. Is that correct or a production issue?

Here's what I'm talking about. This post:

roy g biv it is

i have opened up the orders for a couple days until this is all squared out and so dox users can order the base or alphas etc

so this doesnt all get lost and so i can get some numbers together, if you would like to order an ergodox kit, please pm me, please only pm me if you are serious about buying one, i think a fair assumption is the pricepoint will be either 10 or 25, if you are not comfortable with either of those price points, i think it is fair to say you may end up disappointed

once again, i wanna get this sorted sooner rather than later, i saw people mentioning they wanted to spread the word to other dox users, that is of course fine, as i said, i opened up the main buy again for a couple days so people could join, but now is the time to do that, i want this all wrapped up by the weekend

thanks for everyones input, you guys are making this happen for yourselves, so lets get this done together

i went and checked and i cant find it on the old site either sir

the wuote was done on what we received, as that was what was put forward, i know there was talk of changing it, and need to check what was sent as the final revision to sp

i would think the 2 colors contrast enough that the combo may actually look good

right now i dont have the answer but i will look into it sir
