Quote from: cultofjosh on Mon, 16 December 2013, 00:01:12Just having the accents on the far left/right might be enough for me. What do you guys think about just getting rid of the completely vertical text altogether? I honestly think it'll look a little funny no matter what we put there.Or even this http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/#/layouts/c8175e96a8519014af2341aaf7d56076Show ImageI would be fine with that. This is probably the smallest number of new unique keys we can get a way with. Well we could also replace LEFT/RIGHT pair two identical ANYKEYs. Like this: http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/#/layouts/c94e83a3a20ed0a5adce5d30031fc945If I am counting right, that requires just 7 new key types.

Here's what I was working on before I passed out last night. I used the color pattern from the Hyper Fuse group buy.Show Image
Love it, except I'd suggest replacing Escape and |\ with something with neutral legend on it. Shifts will likely stay in the same place for most people, but I'm not sure about those two. Maybe Bunny and Lake?

Now i'm feeling regret that i didn't pick up a set of these.. I should have bought a set when i had the chance, I thought about it too hard.Show Image

Does that bother anyone else?

Does that bother anyone else?My thinking was that MD PCBs are blue, so it would much better with that blue association in mind some people, me including, have.
^^ But doesn't it cost quite a bit to get those custom legends??
Quote from: SpAmRaY on Mon, 16 December 2013, 12:59:39^^ But doesn't it cost quite a bit to get those custom legends??Which legends are custom? I think maybe only Thumb, Cluster, Left, Right, Bunny, Lake, Luke. All others already exist.I would suggest doing a fund raiser maybe if we can decide on a standard for future ErgoDox kits with slight changes depending on each GB.
What do you guys think of this:Show ImageI tried to maintain a balance between unique keys for both sides while maintaining some symmetry as symmetry also translates to lower costs.I like the lower one better.
I'm confused.If this GB is almost complete how are you going to include an ergodox kit at the end?
Show Image
I can't think of anything else, including "Ryan", I think these three keys needs to be changed, maybe just replace "Ryan" with another "Code" key, and replace Bunny and Lake with "Solarized" perhaps and keep costs low.
Haha, I'm just having fun here bro, I haven't even participated in the GB I a however interested in developing a somewhat standard legend set for ErgoDox kits; maybe this isn't the best thread, however we do have something going here.BTW, is there any source mentioning we can't use the 7-bit legends?
Can we just put legends on the blue for accent colors and leave everything else blank?
Show ImageThis set has completely re-used legends from the rest of Penumbra with the exception of RIGHT and LEFT in 1.5x. It also makes judicious use of blanks but makes sure we get the accent colors.

If there is an option for printed alphas and blank modifiers, I'd order that, even if it means missing the accent colors. :thumb:Just a thought - what if the accent colors were found in four mod keys per hand? Maybe on the outer row? So the whole key color is the accent color, and the rest of the mod keys are the blue.
Bunny, will you be telling us what keys you are going to add to the sets or we have to wait until we receive the package to find out?
Here's another idea: Show ImageI just love my blank keys. I'd even go for blank alphas. May just have to place a SP order later too... :D
Seems like a solid suggestion

That would be too much for me. I'd want something more subtle.
