I love the running through portal guy, I don't care if its on black or white.

What about a black on white aperture symbol? Either way I'm in for a set.

snoopy · « **Reply #51 on:** Wed, 14 March 2012, 15:59:06 »

+1 for black doubleshot

Dajm · « **Reply #52 on:** Wed, 14 March 2012, 16:46:22 »

I'd be in for 2 or 3 sets, I'm fine with the previous set, but am open for new ideas as well.

Zehkul · « **Reply #53 on:** Wed, 14 March 2012, 16:52:36 »

+1 from here, too. And:

Blue portal and orange portal for windows replacements!

Yes, as modifiers!

Would Melissa let this slip through? Probably not, I guess? :/

VERY interested in this

would prefer dyesubs

pbt dyesub plz

Definitely in! I decide to get into one GB, and now I'm in three, haha.

kdash4 · « **Reply #58 on:** Wed, 14 March 2012, 18:04:39 »

white dyesubs like the last round please.
I have been waiting for this for several months.

Ragnorock · « **Reply #59 on:** Wed, 14 March 2012, 18:40:58 »

I should probably clarify more, there will be a white dyesub set, and it will be a set. Any singles will be doubleshots.

Hopefully Melissa will allow multiple key colors as a part of the set and doesn't require they all be white so that we can potentially add some other colored PBT keys to the base 12. We are also discussing what changes to be made to the base set. Coloring all the portals and replacing some of the more boring legends are the only suggestions so far for those.

Man I am SO in on this. These are the first novelty keys I came across, and I just missed out on them. Can't wait, Ill take whatever you guys decide. As for requests for other keys to do alongside the Portal groupbuy. How about this:

Its kinna hard to believe that I havn't seen any Minecraft custom keys. I could think of three or four other things from minecraft that would be cool, but an all green Creeper escape key would be sweet. (apologies in advance for the lame photoshop pic, Im no Hazeluff).

Sorry, why didn't you just take it from my thread? @_@ I've got some images of some items from the game there as keycaps as well.

The minecraft custom keys fall into some nasty copyright, which none of us risk treading on unless we have permission to use them from their owners.

This thread I think is about the Portal keys *cough*. So many people asking about minecraft/other keys lol ><

gimpster · « **Reply #63 on:** Thu, 15 March 2012, 00:48:52 »

Can we add these two keys to the base set, as dye-sub on white keys to match the rest of the set? I don't mind them also being available on black keys as DS variants, but I would really like a pair that matches the rest of the base set.

Me, you and a few others?

I'd like dye-sub on white as well instead of DS on black. Also as Mods (too many function row already).

"The minecraft custom keys fall into some nasty copyright"

Yikes nasty copyright issues eh? Im glad that Portal doesn't have that problem. Imagine if it was developed by a big corporate company thats been known to enforce their copyrights. Wshew. (I know, Gabe told you it was ok).

"This thread I think is about the Portal keys *cough*"

Well *cough* when Rangarok stated "This will happen alongside Biohazard and some other keys hopefully. Feel free to shout out any ideas for keys you would like to be done alongside it, I'm very open to suggestions for new keys to go with this" I thought he meant he was piggybacking other keys along with the Portal keys and ASKING for feedback and ideas. Silly me mis-understood and saw it as maybe an opportunity to throw out an idea, ya know, contribute to the community. But thankfuilly, your helpful advice has shown me the err of my ways, Ill think twice about doing something as *cough* rash as daring to think that me and my 21 posts can have an original idea.

I'd be up for 20 of these. Copyright issues? Are you serious? With all the other ideas sent to SP, I think they can handle a Creeper key.

But I suppose if you were really paranoid, we could just ask Mojang. With their strong fan ties I really don't think they would mind.

PixelVandalism · « **Reply #68 on:** Thu, 15 March 2012, 02:46:17 »

More things to buy *sigh*

I want orange/blue portal modifiers.

I think DS on black would look better.

I think the overall set and symbols are fine but would also like to see a little bit more color.
My opinions:
- Coloring portals as you've mentioned
- Coloring the turret 'eye' red, see what I mean in picture below:
[ Attachment Invalid Or Does Not Exist ] 44251[/ATTACH]
- Add some color to all legends, here just a quick and humble 'drawing' to show what I mean:

But you can only place portals on white surfaces

I think a turret front-on with its guns out would also look pretty cool.

WRXChris · « **Reply #71 on:** Thu, 15 March 2012, 04:14:24 »

I like the original white dyesub "warning sign" set, and I would also be in for the blue/orange ds mods on black.

SP isnt ok with doing copyrighted goods. They wouldnt do SC2 keys for us for this reason. It is neither very smart to sneak **** past them as thry are the only who can make our keys. If any **** happens. No more keys or dealing busimess with them becomes hard.

Yes i've tried contacting mojang to no avail.

I agree, dye-sub on white would look awesome.

Ragnorock · « **Reply #74 on:** Thu, 15 March 2012, 12:07:10 »

I don't remember, did anyone ever ask Melissa what she thought about doing the creeper design? If she hasn't already said no then I may as well ask, but I doubt it will happen. SP is just trying to cover their asses when it comes to trademarks, so the symbols we do have to either be minor inclusions to the game (IE the warning signs on the walls of Portal) or not copyrightable at all ("Triforce" is a geometric shape predating Legend of Zelda by quite some time)

Im fine with pulling a couple of the base set designs and replacing them with those portal guys, and then offering the doubleshot mods. Again no guarantees on how the doubleshots will look given that the legends are somewhat complex. Then again I'm more worried about the biohazard symbol lol. For those that want to buy both the original function row set and the modifier keys, the legends will be the same, (albeit on white instead of black,) so I'm down for including some more function row keys so that those who don't want that have the option to do otherwise. Though nobody has objected to that yet, so... thoughts?

You can consider the doubleshot mods as going to happen, there's enough interest already so no need to vote on that since it isn't replacing anything. Same with adding more color to the original set. Anything else?

ryan92084 · « **Reply #75 on:** Thu, 15 March 2012, 12:17:50 »

Orange and blue portal men or the portals (but not both) DS on black modifiers imo.

coinophero · « **Reply #76 on:** Thu, 15 March 2012, 13:42:06 »

I'd be in for a set if there is enough interest. I was sad that I missed the last GB.

Id be in for errething

Tranquilite · « **Reply #78 on:** Thu, 15 March 2012, 17:10:26 »

Definitely in for the full set of function keys plus DS modifier keys. The Spaaaaaaace-bar would be kind of neat too, but I am less interested in that.

DoctorSnoopy · « **Reply #79 on:** Thu, 15 March 2012, 19:51:31 »

Interested in Portal pair in black, still might order in white just cause it's both sides of the portal.

Chalky White · « **Reply #80 on:** Thu, 15 March 2012, 19:56:16 »

I'm definitely up for this! Function keys, modifiers, whatever...How about a GLaDOS potato key?

I'm in for a few sets of hazeluff's awesome portal and portal guy keys! Not sure what rows the corresponding keys should be on though, too many cool options. (Eg. guy entering and guy exiting)

Also I think they'll look nice on white keys.

tp4tissue · « **Reply #85 on:** Thu, 15 March 2012, 23:16:50 »

These were $40 for the portal set, 13 keys??

Ragnorock · « **Reply #86 on:** Thu, 15 March 2012, 23:29:06 »

$20 in the group buy itself. They were very limited, so they went up in value quick after they were distributed. Expect slightly higher than that for this round due to the extra keys.

DalaiLameR · « **Reply #87 on:** Fri, 16 March 2012, 12:11:42 »

If we go with DS splitting should be good.

But if they are Dyesub, then putting it in a set is cheaper.
