Hello everyone!

I'm back with another SA single run set, this time I'm pushing forward a space themed project of mine.

The keyset was inspired in the Apollo Program from NASA and I fell like the theme should be explored like this. 

It's is going to be available for purchase by summer, 2016.

In case you're worried about prices, the set is gonna be very affordable due to the fact that many molds I'm using already exist.

Thanks for coming by, let me know what you think.

Godspeed,

MiTo

Dedicated to mom, dad and the dog. Not Jenny. Jenny is a *****.

Godpseed Hype! Looking great MiTo, another fantastic set of your creation. ;D

Also very cool that you added in a White Fox kit, I'm sure a lot of people will be glad about that. :thumb:

The Whitefox kit is super convenient. Also, it's a very nice detail to include a "Launch" and "Stow" for the ISO kit.

For myself it's based on lesson personal preference both with respect to the key set and designers.

Also, Classic Space will use a new and more suitable font.

I think you should add some more color to the base. Maybe a some of the yellow and red keys that you have on the novelties kit, move them to the base kit?

My only concern is the numpad.

Does it not have an option for a blue + to match the rest?

First of all, I'm sorry for the delayed reply and thank you very much for coming by. About you question, the Tsangan shift keycap was meant to be R4 too. But now that you mentioned I'll have to check if Signature Plastics can manufacture 1.75u "SHIFT" legended keys on R4, there was something about they not being able to make such keys in the past but I forgot what the issue is. I don't know if the R4 was the problem or if it was the 1.75u size, but there used to be an issue with this keycap. I'll e-mail Melissa and get back to you as soon as I have an answer. Stay tuned.

Were the alternative red modifiers scrapped? I kind of liked those.

I didn't know what to do with these, I'm glad you like them though!

(never bought keysets on Massdrop before)

The idea behind the set is to make your keyboard look like something from the 60's NASA. Therefore the faded tones and retro feel. The child kits will be available separetly, but I'd recomend you to get at least the Basic Kit too.

I think you should add some more color to the base. Maybe a some of the yellow and red keys that you have on the novelties kit, move them to the base kit?

Hey mate, thanks for coming by! Are you talking about any keycaps in specific?

Sim senhor!

I'm happy that you enjoy the set my friend, it's a pleasure to make something that you like.

Are you talking about the 1u "+" keycap? I can add it, sure.

Woops, yes that is what I meant.

My keyboard has a 1u + and - instead of the long 2u +, so I just thought it would look weird with them both being different colors.

Thank you very much mate! Production will take place by the end of February, this will ship ~8 weeks after it.

If you manage to keep prices relatively low, definitely yes!

Pricing won't be a problem, the main thing is one set being focused and the other one splitting the sales. This used to be an issue on PMK days, but with Massdrop I don't think so. The thing is that I'll have to offer everything blue also in red. Otherwise people will complain. I'm also not a huge fan of offering two sets at the same time.

Ares Program as a future addon?

Yep, better to focus this mission first and maybe next time could be the perfect time for Ares.

The Base kit covers a standard TKL keyboard, which means that it has a 6.25U space bar included.

Tsangan doesn't include a space bar according to the mockups.

So if I buy a standard kit, a  tsangan kit, and a bar kit, I'd have 2 6.25u spacebars and 1 7u spacebar?  I guess I'd use 1 6.25u spacebar for FC660m stem modding.

Yep, better to focus this mission first and maybe next time could be the perfect time for Ares.

Agreed my friend, we will see what happens.


So if I buy a standard kit, a  tsangan kit, and a bar kit, I'd have 2 6.25u spacebars and 1 7u spacebar?  I guess I'd use 1 6.25u spacebar for FC660m stem
modding.


The Basic Kit definitely comes with a space bar but the Tsangan kit doesn't. Here's why: if you look closely, the White Fox pack also doesn't feature a space bar even though people who chose the Winkeyless layout will need one. I'm not offering 7u space bars in the Tsangan/White Fox kits because I want this group of customers (Tsangan and Winkeyless White Fox) buying and making volume to the Bars child deal pack, therefore making it easy to tip. In case you don't know what the White Fox is, it is a custom keyboard created by the great Matt3o that was sold last year by Massdrop. Below you can see a picture of it's Winkeyless layout.

However, this format is open for discussion and I'd like to hear your (and others) opinion(s) about it. In case we keep such decision, I'll make sure to state on the mockups that neither of the kits will come with a 7u space bar, to prevent unsatisfied customers and future complaints.

I'm fine with the child deals the way they are.  Thanks for the explanation!

Left shfit is 1.25? That can't be right.

Matt3o might have used the same file for all the layouts, that's a 2.25 Shift, not 1.25. The 1.25U might be from the ISO Layout

The renders look a bit funny - the SA keycaps look too square if I'm not crazy

Anyone else see this?

Zambumon is correct, that shift size was a mistake from Matt3o's end when he presented the White Fox Winkeyless mockup. I apologize for not noticing it before, but that's indeed a 2.25u "SHIFT" keycap.

They are stretched a little bit, I lost quality because I stretched the whole image too much.

I will provide a better image with the child deals tomorrow.

I made them in mid/early December and it was a combination of lightning, textures that gives that impression since the sculpting is exactly the same that SP has published in their resource files, I've improved all of them and now it looks much better. That being said, those renders would look way more rounded if I used glossy materials (which has been done by others before)… but that wouldn't be accurate at all.

Renders aside, I'm pretty confident that the set will look 2~3 times better in real life, specially with novelties.  :eek:

I know what you did there…

Jukebox-->50s
Godspeed-->60s
1976-->70s

The idea behind the set is to make your keyboard look like something from the 60's NASA. Therefore the faded tones and retro feel. The child kits will be available separetly, but I'd recomend you to get at least the Basic Kit too.


Well, I'm not too keen on spending money on something I don't really like - but if the price isn't too high I still might get a full set, just to have it complete.
We'll see, I guess.

The edges seem to be really square or something, but it'll look better when made obviously.

The tops don't seem to curve inward enough compared to real caps.

I think it may be the lighting?

That's because Pebumbra is R3.

Do you guys believe we should do something like the Asiimods and Blumods from Sci-Fi?

I'd love to see a red version of this! Personally I'm not a big fan of the pale blue mods, but I would totally pick this up if it was red. As long as it's <100 for a TKL set, I think it's a great idea.

Just realized how many custom legends are included in this. Good luck!
