[IC] T7 SA Set
« on: Tue, 05 May 2015, 21:35:06 »
First time designing a set, in fact, first time posting here, please point out anything wrong with it! 

Base kit:
* Doubleshot SA 3-1-2-3-4-3
* [Core Alpha Kit]
* [GTA Modifiers]
* [TGG Modifiers]
* [Spacebar]
* [Numpad Set] 
* [DVORAK Kit]
* [Alternate Meta]
* [TKL Mockup]

Novelty keys: 

* [EICAS Child Deal]
* [MCP Child Deal]
* [EFIS Child Deal]
 
Colours:

* Alphas (TGG)
* Modifiers (GTA)
* Legends and fonts (YCA-GLOW hopefully, does anyone know if SP allows this?)
* Escape (YY)

Font:
The font will be Gorton Modified, although Futura Oblique is shown above.

This set is inspired by cockpit elements of the Boeing 777 family with flight simmers in mind, although I've tried to make the base set appealing as well. The alpha colours are taken from the main panel, and the modifiers are taken from the glareshield. The 777 features lime backlighting for panel labels, I hope to recreate the effect with the glow-in-the-dark legends. The child deals include sets to add onto your macro keys for assigning them to MCP, EICAS and EFIS controls (I'm pretty sure PMDG supports keystroke shortcuts, not sure about other 777 developers). I have not included icon modifiers as I'm unsure what tooling SP has, and would like to keep cost to a minimum. I have not included non-standard keys, ISO kits or European language kits yet.

Let me know if you'd like to see anything added, or anything you would like to see changed, I would love some feedback.

Looks cool, although I'm pretty sure we've reached peak keycaps lately.

Really like this Colour-way very nice and conservative which should look brilliant in every keyboard that's available.

Unfortunately we have been hit now with a tsunami of Key-set Group Buys, even SP is having trouble keeping up with the older orders already sent  to them.

Maybe in another months time the procession line of key-sets shall die down a little to make this one more suitable for their wallets.

Cheers, guess I'll put this away for another time.
