Troubled Minds is only a couple of weeks away from shipping, and so I want to start the interest check for the second set. I did a poll last year and it was an overwhelming win for Unit 03, but with several sets (in SA even) in blue coming out and planned, I decided to go with the Flash/Unit 02 set. You have probably seen my first mockups, and after revisiting the design and looking at reference images again, I decided to change the colors and I believe it came out a lot better. I already have novelty kits designed, but as always I would like the community steer the set in the right direction, so suggestions and criticisms are always welcome.
Set is planned to be in SA profile as with the first one, but nothing is finalized, not the color codes and not the profile.
Color Codes:
Red: RAS
Orange: OAS
White: WFK
Black: NN
Here are the mockups of the current design/colors:

It's why I came up with the white mods, going all red and orange is too loud, but also more faithful to the original. Main colors are white and red, the first image.

Orange is definitely too loud. Is there another shade of orange you can use?
I like the black mods, but maybe keep the legends orange to match the alpha legends?

There's OBC, which is maybe too dull. The black mods is a maybe at the moment, if there's enough interest then maybe I add them as an alternate color pack. Doesn't really have that 02 vibe.

It's orange, yellow was too McD from the initial feedback. Nothing's final though.

I agree with this. A more subtle orange would be nice. Even the white mods feels to McDonalds-ey for me.

I'll see what it looks like in a mockup, I don't think it has enough "Unit 02" feel though.
I agree with this. A more subtle orange would be nice. Even the white mods feels to McDonalds-ey for me.
I'll check out the other oranges and yellows, but I guess it will always have that McD feeling for other people regardless if I go red/white or red/yellow(orange).
Definitely in, I think I like the rebuild version or black Mods the best. There's going to be a full novelty pack of each color? I saw you had the white/red EVA 02 mods and the red/orange but I only saw the two black/red novelties.
I prefer the rebuild version too, stay true (IMO) to the inspiration while toning down the loud colors. Not sure about novelties for each color, I was thinking I should go with the base colors selected, current mockups are just me checking out color combos.
I really like this but I cannot stand SA it feels like typing on stilts to me.
Gotta go high if you wanna reach your dreams.. heh I don't even know what I mean :D
You have me at orange.
+1 for Iron Man though.
One vote for classic.
I guess a poll should be done then if this gets enough interest.

Another point of consideration...maybe white legends for a Flash set would allow for a less McD's look when using the yellow?
Also, strong vote for an ergoDox set.
Post by: thesiscamper on Sat, 20 February 2016, 22:39:02
I'm extremely interested in this, both in Unit 02 and Flash variants. I looked at a couple images of the classic U02, and was thinking maybe the classic colorway could use some black in the mods to tone the orange down? That is to say, some orange mods and some black mods.

I've already considered mixing mod colors, but I think we still have to limit the base set's colors. This is one of the earlier mockups last year.

Do you mean white legends for the Flash novelties? That's probably a better idea.

I would be happy to work on it but when I did a poll it was an overwhelming vote for Unit 03 actually, which was blue. I'd love to do the least popular Unit 00 in yellow, but people will still probably choose the blue variant regardless of the fact that there's a lot of blue sets in the works.

That blue set isn't 03, it's the blue option for Unit 00. This is 03:

I prefer the yellow Unit 00 too, since it's not a color that's commonly used. I'll probably do a proper mock-up when I have the time to see how it might really look on a keyboard. :)

The white and red is doing it for me. The Black ESC is kickin, even the novelty yellow and red keys are dope as hell. I just can't get over the base kit with the Mickey D's color. Maybe its just the two loud colors red and orange that are doing it to me. I'm no color expert and I can't knock the IC as I love your work (got my Troubled Minds in the mail on Tuesday so totally respect the work). So, just wanted to ask... is the red base kit a keeper for this IC?
Hmm, it's a Unit 02/Flash/Iron Man themed set, so if I understand what you're asking then yes, the red base is a keeper. But I'm leaning more towards the white mods, and maybe I'll try a deeper/darker shade of red. Thanks for appreciating the work I've done :)
Looking great. Will buy.
Missed the eva01 set, will not miss this one :)

Although it might take some time before a round 2, Troubled Minds is not a single-run kind of deal. :thumb:

Yes, its the orange font on the red. Just wondering if you might consider a different color for the font and move the orange to maybe a separate key that helps retain the theme as designed.
Then again if the orange font stays, it does have its charm in its own unique way.

Dunno, the white legends aren't bad but they tend to lose something in comparison to the orange legends.I guess it's a choice between safer colors and being more faithful to the source material. I'll wait for more feedbacks, thanks. :)

Carry on peeps.

This keyset matches the color scheme of the Bionicle character Tahu quite well. A couple Bionicle / Tahu themed novelties would totally sell me on this set, as if Unit 02 wasn't enough already. :P I just wanted to throw this out there in case there are other Bionicle fans here who would like to see this.

The white legends gives a cleaner look while the orange legends gives the keyset some personality to it...
I think that summarizes it very well. I'm enjoying the personality more though both look good.
Post by: Corusco on Mon, 11 April 2016, 23:36:05
THAT SAID, I do think it's also very important to keep the personality of the orange in the set. It sounds like doing all the mods orange might be too cheesy(har), but what about maybe just the bottom row mods, or maybe bottom row/shifts? I don't want to throw too many options out and make it harder, especially considering the time renders take. I'm in for this set any way you do it.

Yep, the original plan was The Flash, Iron Man and Unit 02. I'll have to check what other novelties I can come up with, and then decide what to take out if pricing becomes an issue. :)Thank you, this will probably be decided in a poll. I'll also provide a more direct comparison of the two options

I like it Thesiscamper. That is definitely an original. Does the color work if you use white legends on the red alpha keys?
I've already tried that, I checked and I've actually made a mockup with white legends months ago. The consensus is while white legends look cleaner, the set has more personality with orange legends.
Oh and obviously the case profile is hardly seen, it's just an idea and hardly original, maybe I'll try more otherworldly cases next-time. :)

It's not cancelled, but I have to do it one by one (and hopefully not years apart :D)
I vote keep working the white on red (WoR) design you have here. It has that Skull Squadron appeal to it without it being the same. The GH key is cool, but its really hard to tell what it is even after production, would like to request something else though it could be argued its your signature cap for your profile series. Maybe a white stripe bar on top for the number row? I know you are not big on "Win" keys but please consider one for those who use a TKL format. Also, the burgundy as opposed to a deep red but honestly would consider it either way.
There are "WIN" keys in the kit if that's what you mean, it will be one big kit and then extra novelties for The Flash and Iron Man... and yes the Esc novelty is kind of the signature cap for these "series" of sets, especially since it was developed here in geekhack.
Well I'm in because I love NGE, but it's a shame to hear that about Troubled Minds since I was still hoping to buy a set for under $500
Yes I know, not many sets were made (not too few either but you get it) and for those who want it they have to pay exorbitant prices which is sad.
Personally I like yellow on red, but whatever is closest thematically to Unit 02 is ideal. More red and a few dark purple and black keys would be nice as well.
The black keys fit the Seele novelty like in my older mock-ups, but I tried to keep it as simple as possible as this is already a loud set in terms of color.
I'm only in for option 1
Noted, thanks. :thumb:

Thanks for the feedback guys, please note that the yellow accent keys can be easily added to Option 1 if you want those.
was going to voice for exactly this.
seems like a maxkeys production based on "escape" and "scroll lock"? it'd be nice to get abbreviations for those keys as molds for maxkeys. they kind of look odd to me.
nevertheless, this is really amazing and it'd be cool if there were a number row kit with a different color from the other keys? like the inverse of option 1 alphas (so red on yellow).

Yes this will not be SP, this will be made by Maxkey. I know people have reservations, but I have two Maxkey sets and I must say their caps look a lot better than the SP caps I've seen. The legends need work, but they are already getting some keys fixed. Molds are expensive though so this will be a process that will take months, most likely faster than SP fixing their legends though. The first fixes should be available in a few months, just in time for this set.

Post by: thesiscamper on Sun, 16 July 2017, 10:43:12
Definitely option 1 with yellow accents. Also would you mind adding a second 2.25u Shift for FC660 compatibility?
I'll see what I can do, and find out what can or can not be currently done, e.g. adding an extras kit.
It appears I am in the minority here but the only option that screams "Berserk" to me personally is number 3 - the bright blood red seems far more appropriate than the duller shades of the other 2 sets (though I'd probably still be in for number 2, 1 really doesn't do it for me).
Very interested in Flash novelties either way, though.
The darker and duller red is mostly from the Rebuild colors. I'll be checking the actual Pantone codes from the booklet tomorrow at work.

Oh I see whoops, I'll be honest, I thought the use of the name "berserk" was literal rather than being a character in Evangelion, hence my initial comment. After googling for a bit you're right, the duller colours do fit - I'm still a much bigger fan of the brighter scheme but it's perfectly understandable if you rather go with the one that fits the actual theme you have in mind best!

Let me know when you do a set for the real best girl ;)
All in good time :)
I hope more yellow in novelties
It's mostly done but I'll look into this, since I have to finish the other novelties for the superheroes too.
I will be honest I am on the fence about MaxKeys, yes the production pictures are looking good for previous sets, but the legends do need work. Definitely want to see updates to the work performed on the legends as your set is a definite buy. I agree waiting on Signature Plastics to catch up is not likely to happen before this group buy starts, but definitely want the quality especially for a graphic artist like Thesiscamper that has done so much for the community in terms of excellent graphic renders. Please do share any new updates you get as rushing this set ahead of quality corrections feels unnecessary to me.
I doubt all the corrections will be done before this set's production, but I'll ask them if they can do the F1 correction because that's the thing that kinda bothers me.
By the way guys, POLL IS UP. FYI the Pantone codes look a lot different in the guide than in my monitor, and I'll have to check it again from another source. 188C is definitely too dark in the swatch I checked.

I'm not sure if you're staying away from it so you can keep the set's theme more flexible (ie Eva/Ironman), but a brighter red and a splash of green would go a long way towards making this look like Unit 02.
I don't think the colors you're using now remind me of unit 02 or asuka...to be fair, I haven't seen the Rebuild of Eva yet, and maybe you're not basing it off the original, in which case, why not?
At the least, the old NERV logo is worlds Better. I know HolyOOPS etc have done the old logo, but I still think it's the best one.
Anyways, yeah... gonna be a tough set to get right, but you've taken some really good steps. If it were me, I'd probably try adding in a little green and orange, brighten the red, see what happens? I mean, this is an SA set, which means it's going to be super glossy...a nice bright glossy Hellrot would go a long way towards both making a stunning set that stands out (the way Asuka is meant to)
This is a fantastic concept though... Asuka has been my wallpapers at work forever. The vibrancy of the red and green, plus her orange hair, is what brings me back to those wallpapers every single time. I can't help but feel it might do the same here.

cant believe I havnt seen this before. Really liking the darker red color , voted option 1 because I was drawn to the yellow more, but until we see actual photos I think itll be very hard to tell how nice that yellow actually looks with the red. Also I voted option 1 but it would be nice to still have the red on yellow accent keys that option 2 shows.
Thank you for participating! I'll be updating the color codes but will keep the option the same (darker vs brighter red). Also yes, the plan is to do the yellow accents for Option 1 if people prefer it.

I don't get how people can say that red and orange looks like McDonalds when the McDonalds colors are red and yellow.
Ideally I personally would have wanted white on bright red alphas, and bright red on orange modifiers.

Here's an updated render. As I've said the Pantone codes look too different in person, and it's either the calibration of my monitor or the other render engine I use. I'm trying to make it look as close as possible to the front-running option (Option 1). The current Pantone code is 7622C.

Maxkey told me the keys fixed are backspace, shift, changed ESCAPE to ESC, DELETE to DEL, and some other details (probably the kerning on ALT, etc).
I've also asked them to include their usual Cherry and Lotus key novelties.

This is the latest mock-up, and it's soft-locked unless there are serious issues with the layout. The red will be the same as the accent in Maxkey's Ashen, the yellow will hopefully be close to SP's YBP.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/0hWwORV.png)

Thank you for the support, Maxkey's novelties are apparently more cost effective by 10x1u, in that less than 10 novelties are the same price as 10. I had more 1u novelties initially, but with the current kit I'll need to add 8x1u novelties which I believe is too much already.
I'd like to see the "Enter" and " /| " key above it to both be offered in white. I can't be the only one who likes to have all the mod keys the same color so it's uniform on both sides mostly.

I'll think about this, but to add these caps means I'll have to add the white tilde too and it all adds up.
why people not vote for option 3? The red is more accurate than the other imo... also, option 1 yellow legends on red are kinda gnarly, not?
still gonna be in, 'cause EVA! ;)
Thank you! Yellow alpha legends are more popular it seems, even in the small poll they did in China.
PSA: You can check the SA Lime thread (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=89839.msg2471224#msg2471224 (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=89839.msg2471224#msg2471224)) to see which legends have been fixed, even SP took years to fix theirs and they wouldn't have fixed the "SHIF T" anyway without 7bit IIRC.

So this is how they make their caps. Their molds are for around 30 caps, and they grouped the alphas and modifiers. They did this to be cost-effective. If we're going to include that reverse color for |\ and ~` they'll be using a mold for 30 caps to make just two caps, and the rest will be a waste (the other alpha keys with inverted colors).

For those who are wondering why the inverted color for ~` and |\ is a waste but the accent colors are not, I'm also waiting for an explanation for that.
The accent keys are part of the novelty mold, which is like R1 1u, R3 2.25u, R3 1.25u and arrow keys lumped in one mold, so the waste here is much smaller than one of the bigger alpha/mod molds.

Since MassDrop is the limiting factor with re-running Troubled Minds and doing other niche sets, have oyou considered working with KeyClack?
Yes I've considered these options. Personally, a year long wait (probably more) from SP is not acceptable so I've also considered GMK, and then Maxkey reached out but didn't want to do another "old" set so we went with this.

It is, and I'll be putting that on the title to avoid further confusion.
Really weird considering its on SA Lime.
I'm not sure if their molds are done per keyset or whatever, but yeah it's weird.

Do we already have a spot in their lineup? I know they already have some sets going but according to the Maxkeys Calm Depths thread due to mold fixes they are on hold for new sets until Oct 1st.
Calm depths apparently is running their buy Oct 1-14th, can we work on getting the next slot? Especially considering once the new molds are ready I imagine even more people will be comfortable bringing sets to them and then the queue is going to just get longer.

will there be an option/addon for the yellow spacebars since it's not in the soft-locked kit?
i think lime(? - i'm pretty sure one upcoming maxkeys set) is supposed to be glossy finish similar to sp's sa sets. do you happen to know what kind of finish maxkeys are expecting for this kit? (i might have missed this from before and i'm sorry if i'm being repetitive).
Post by: thesiscamper on Mon, 14 August 2017, 21:55:50
The yellow spacebars are included, I'm just on my phone so I haven't updated the first post yet. I prefer the matte finish of Maxkey's regular sets, and I didn't know glossy is an option now.Maxkey rep told me end of August for the group buy.

Asking due to being in SEA, MD doesn't make anything cheaper especially regarding shipping outside of the states, which more or less nullifies the lowered price of the set.
Either way around, I'm still interested in getting one, so it wouldn't affect me too much... aside from having to pay more for shipping that is. :p
Post by: thesiscamper on Tue, 15 August 2017, 23:59:27
I know this is a rather odd question to ask, but what is the likelihood of the GB being hosted on other platforms aside from MD?Hi! This will not be through Massdrop, this will be through Taobao and keyclack.com. If you're in Singapore I would suggest Taobao/ezbuy or whichever forwarder you use.

The original key rendering showed it, but will there be the ability to buy a 7u spacebar for this set?There should be two 7u spacebars, a red and a yellow one. You can check out the OP to see the soft-locked kit.

Been on the fence as I'm not a huge fan of white modifiers but the orange options and ability to swap in other Maxkeys mods from sets I have makes me much more comfortable. Dig it :thumb:
Registered here for this set. I really like the orange on red alphas too if only the modifiers are on a darker color or heck go with grey on orange mods (to look like panel lines in EVA 02 arms).
Not a huge fan of the mod as well. personally i prefer the black mod version

It is, most other mock-ups have not been well-received, and not many people asked for darker mods.

No problem, I'm really asking too much for a big change this late in the IC. I'm going to skip Ashen R2 for this. Are you still open for additional novelties? Like Iron Spider-man? :D

Sorry, but the molds have all been prepared, a little bit too quickly in all honesty since I was surprised by the speed Maxkey went about preparing them.

Any plans for an EU proxy or no? Shipping+customs to Europe is pretty make-or-break.
It will go through jchan/keyclack for international orders so there's a good chance, but I haven't talked to him since he has a lot on his plate at the moment.
Post by: LiQuiDs on Sat, 19 August 2017, 14:28:23
Here's an update. The set will be split into two kits, unfortunately they are based on which caps go with others in the molds so there really isn't a cheap way to have them sorted the way I wanted them.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/c9BvQfj.jpg)

The current backspace novelty is the progressive knife the EVA's use. The Lance of Longinus is an ancient alien artifact made for god killing. I actually love this novelty idea because it plays a big role in End of Evangelion with Unit 02 but the kit is softlockdd and idk if thesiscamper can change it.

There is no need to express the whole of Longinus. I think the front part of it is enough. Currently the enter key does not have a novelty. And it's the third longest key on the keyboard.

White has been changed, I realized WCK is too off-white. I asked for similar to SP's WFK for the white mod base, 187C for the red alphas base (should be similar to Ashen's accent) and 7549C for the yellow accents.
Here's a photo of sample caps from the finished molds, and the yellow cap sample.

Currently color proofing, red is from Ashen accents, yellow is updated to a brighter 7549C (from 7563C), and white. I'm waiting for more updates for red and white.
please show us final design of keycaps!
White has been changed, I realized WCK is too off-white. I asked for similar to SP's WFK for the white mod base, 187C for the red alphas base (should be similar to Ashen's accent) and 7549C for the yellow accents.
Here's a photo of sample caps from the finished molds, and the yellow cap sample.

Also, (don't know if this classified or not, but eh) did you pay up front for the mold fees?
Thanks. :)

This may not be the right place to ask, but I'll ask anyways since this would be the perfect set for this: Would it be possible for Maxkeys to make an ortholinear modifier set alongside the base set? I saw a thread* on reddit a couple weeks ago about this exact topic, but haven't seen any updates so far. I would absolutely love to see some more SA sets for ortho users, and it seems like there's definitely some interest.

Are the key sizes/profiles ones that already exist for maxkeys? Like are there already keys in the right shape with the wrong legend.
Getting legends changed would conceivably be doable, but custom molds likely costs orders of magnitudes more than legend plates. Same reason there is no iso support. Wherever maxkeys got their molds, they didn't include an iso mold, so someone would have to actually get one made. Legend plates are just a small part of the mold, the expensive part is the rest of the mold, and that part would need to be created for any mold (for example if you wanted a R2 1.25u key, that would be a custom mold, same with an iso enter, etc etc etc). Anything that isn't already in the base kit would likely encounter this problem.
So as long as you just need 1 u keys, it's likely "doable", now if there is enough interest, who knows. The real issue is that's 15 new legends for a very small subset of people. I imagine moq would be hard or the price would be very high.

EDIT: I was also going to mention that if the ortho mod kit doesn't happen for this set, I'd still probably end up buying it anyways and dealing with a few incorrect legends. Wouldn't be a huge dealbreaker for me personally but obviously having an accurate set would be really nice.

...Of course as far as this specific set is concerned though all comes down to thesiscamper's personal interest...
It doesn't really depend on me, but on what most people are willing to pay for. If I can have my way it will have kits to support most layouts, but we have to balance compatibility with price. I do hope Maxkey will be able to add these non-standard caps in the future, but at the moment it's just not viable, and I apologize. If this becomes successful I will try to discuss compatibility with them.
