If you have any request to make it better, this is the right time!
PLEASE note that I can't do anything about Signature Plastics QC, so apart from that, the sky is the limit.
Particularly I'd like some input regarding the Ergodox kit (http://i.imgur.com/BcOU3cb.png). Is there anything we can do to perfect it?
Also. The set will include a new language never done before, that is already decided and I'll show you the mockups in few hours.
Thanks!

In few days MD will run a new batch of Granite. I believe this will be the last one and I want to make it special.

there will be some special keys for the whitefox. You'll probably have to buy the base kit + mods + extras
I think the ergodox set is fine, maybe more blue or red to some of the keys would be nice.
thanks. I'll see what I can do. You know adding colors increase the cost
Post by: VinnyCordeiro on Wed, 30 December 2015, 12:08:06
Another suggestion that I know isn't feasible (but I'll make anyway) is to divide the international kit in smaller chunks.
Best of luck for Round 4 (although this is unnecessary, Granite sells like water in the desert).

1. Two space keys at 2u.
2. Perhaps random color keys like the blue enter at tab and delete/sides
3. Only one fn key for the vertical/horizontal/2u keys
4. Inverted " key (like the squirrely bracket keys)
Just a quick few suggestions looking at my current setup (granite ergodox kit with deep space alphas)

I know I just suggested this as well, but I did some digging and found that it may not be possible (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=56354.msg1417454#msg1417454) since SP does not seem to have the right colors available.

Noticed your post and saw that you wanted input on the Ergodox kit and I wanted to chime in. On the gray "-_" and "+=" would it be possible to change the orientation as they line up with the print side-by-side in my build. I would also like the ability to get the kit with a dot on the home row keys instead of a scoop, even if it would be a part of the Blank Pack. Maybe include a blank spacebar in the Ergodoxian kit, for me I had a full set of color matched DSA blanks so it was not an issue.
Thanks for supporting the community, have a set or two from every round and they have been great.

Someone had suggested CMY mods on reddit a while ago, I'd be interested in seeing a mockup of that.
I'll check again, but I'm afraid SP don't have CMY colors in PBT!
I'd like to see more blanks provided in the Ergodox kit at the very least, I didn't want to use half the legends the way they are, but everyone has their own preferences, so blanks would be the best way to go.
Granite blanks never sold well, I don't think we will add more.
Edit: Sorry for the noob question, but is it PBT or ABS?
PBT
I know others have mentioned the WhiteFox on this thread already, but I'd like to put in my $0.02 as well. I'd love to see a single WhiteFox pack that also includes the amazing fox printed keys. Or at least a way to separately get the Whitefox novelty keys.
I don't think a WhiteFox only kit will be possible, you'll probably need base+mod+extras.
CMYW kit would be amazing too.
I'll try to find another nice combination of colors
What do you think about adding a Vim kit? I'll admit I have a certain bias...
We already had Vim, you know I don't like to replicate novelties.
1.25 Yellow text WIN key please!
Maybe a pack with text directions + the above?
I believe we will have different colors this time.
Is there going to be a Cyrillic kit like the previous ones?
Cyrillic has been asked so many times... I hate to replicate things... let's see how the extra language I created will be welcomed.

Sorry, I should have asked the question better. I meant differently colored HJKL keys, like a WASD pack, not a novelty Vim key. Another, more polarizing option would be to have the HJKL legends also include the arrows like the original ADM-3A terminal (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ADM-3A).

Matt design skills are second to none, but legends for a fictional language? well, I'd prefer some commitment to make the warping of keys at the dyeing process to get improved, as a reason to get another set; but, I understand that is beyond the reach of anyone, but SP engineers.
Wasn't Sindarin heavily worked on by he and samwisekoi?

You should call that elvish set Tengwar, not Sindarin. Sindarin, the language of the Sindar, is one of the elvish languages that uses Tengwar as writing system. Quenya also uses Tengwar and was spoken/written by the Noldor, one of the elven clans that went to Valinor.
Tengwar is the Quenya word for 'letters'.

Have a "Programmers Pack" with IDE/Debugger symbols on it. For example, Step over/into/out (https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/help/debug-tool-window.html#steptoolbar) and resume, pause, stop, etc. (https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/help/debug-tool-window.html#d1275021e226) would be nice to have. Obviously the JetBrains icons wouldn't fit well with the theme of the set, but the general idea of the icons (the way the arrows point, etc) would be the same across lots of IDEs and could be re-imagined to fit Granite.
In round 3, some of the icon mods for home/end/insert could be step out/into/over in a pinch, the 1u tab could be run-to-cursor and some of the media keys could be used for resume and end. But there's still not a perfect way to get all the right symbols, plus you would have to steal keys from other spots on the boards :)
There could also be a programming language pack (or include in the programmer pack?). I do a TON of python programming and would love a python logo key. Other language logos (Ruby, Java pls dont kill me, HTML5, CSS, etc.) could also be included in the pack.

The alignment of the numbers on the secondary legends doesn't match up with the sub-legends on the international numbers or with the numpad sub legends (7,8,9) - making them incompatible :( I think they just look really weird and don't fit style wise with any of the other sub-legend keys from any of the previous rounds.
Apart from that :thumb:

@dorf, if you meant the ISO key, the DCS fits the DSA nicely, but I do not know if a mold for an ISO Enter key in DSA profile is available, I don't think so, at this stage I think the amount of DSA caps sold so far, justifies the manufacturing of a new mold, but that is entirely an SP call.
Yes, I know. I'm typing on it. But it would be nice with a spherical ISO enter instead of cylindrical.

I am definitely in (again). My wish list of changes to the in the RGB(Y) kit would be to also have a yellow HJKL (my personal WASD), along with a 1.75u Control. On that last point, I think it would be cool to have a 1.75u novelty key (maybe differently-colored too?), since many of us re-map the Capslock, and often to different things. I would love for it to be the R3 matt3o robot or even the word "GRANITE" (can't think of a good icon equivalent). Maybe I'm crazy...

I'm evaluating adding another colored set, they are pretty expensive though, especially with bigger keys. Red 1.75 control is indeed a nice idea. Problem being that each new kit needs to be icon AND text.
Yeah, I don't know how you make these tradeoffs so successfully time after time.

Some times you have to buy a large set just to get a few keys; therefore, it may be great to split the specialty sets in smaller sub-sets, cost-wise; however, I understand that vendors want to go the opposite direction, selling larger sets for the sake of scale economy and to get more sales.
it's not a vendor thing, it's that smaller kits don't tip. The only way to have "weird" kits to reach the MOQ is to group them. Everybody pay a little more but everybody get what they want (as opposed to everybody pay less and get nothing).
These kits are pretty cool, but I'm going to have to choose my favorites. :( When will we get info on pricing?
I believe the group buy should start this Friday, but it also depends on SP.
Does the common kit come with a 6.25 spacebar? It looks like it does, but I see that's for sale separately.
This is the eternal Granite question :D YES! The 6.25u spacebar is additional. The base kit already includes one.
It sucks for ergodox users who want the red escape key to have to buy the text mods set, I personally liked the separate kit last time.
Still working on the ergodox kit.... but don't you need the text mods anyway? (for arrows, ins, end, pgup/dn, etc...)

Sorry, I should have been more specific. I was hoping for more colorful planck mods. Theres only menu/diamond keys in colored 1u with the RGB(YO) pack. It would probably make that pack prohibitively expensive to add more keys to it though, so I'll be fine without. Unless enough people would be interested in a planck specific kit?

No problem.
Yeah, like you said, it's pretty niche. There was never an official Planck pack so it cost me be a fair bit of money and took some trading for me to get the legends I needed. Having optional colors ontop of that would push the price up even further OR make the RGBYO kit too expensive for the average user.
Still, unlike most keysets it is actually possible to get full legend support with Granite. So, major respect to Matt3o with the amount of kits he pushes out! While I don't type much on my Planck I love that the legends are all correct on it :thumb:

I apologize if this has already been answered somewhere else, but why is the layout of the elven tongue set so different from the one from the original Elvish keycap set thread? https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=38264.msg842147#msg842147 (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=38264.msg842147#msg842147) My elvish writing friend (don't we all have one of those?) can't make as much sense of the newer one and the keys don't rearrange well because of the secondary legends.
the new Sindarin kit closely follows the standards of the tengwar TTFs you find around on the web. Basically it's easier to type in Sindarin this way.

I do have a layout recommendation. When you have a set of keys that comes in both text and icons (for example, text/icon mods), the icon keys should be in the same place as the text keys just for consistency.
For example, the icons in the "icon mods" pack bottom row should have the icons match the text pack of "Ctrl, super, alt, alt, etc...". This will make it easier for people like me to know what key each icon corresponds to.

That being said, what about using non-Apple symbols for ALT? ⌥ means option in Unicode, not alternate. I'd personally love to see ⎇ used instead for the ALT key.
I really despise the red legends on the Tengwar Sindarin kit; is there any chance of removing them?

Perhaps consider these?
1. Cyrillic.
2. Windows 1.0 logo (http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/logopedia/images/9/95/Windows_1.0_1985.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20120901001847) to the Windows kit.
3. Beastie (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BSD_Daemon#/media/File:Bsd_daemon.jpg) to the Extra OS Kit.
4. Steam logo (http://cdn.flaticon.com/png/256/33578.png) to Bonus Pack.
I'm very interested in Cyrillic.
Those others would be a nice touch too :thumb:

Another suggestion on the whitefox theme: A complete whitefox kit (or is it an issue with having the same modifiers in the same kit?), preferably with the blue arrow keys included (and escape? don't remember).
we won't have a specific whitefox kit, but I added all the needed modifiers and the blue arrows/esc.
Oh, I almost forgot: what about some volume control buttons for the secondary legends pack? If you want to cover everything with the pack...
ala HHKB?
I saw on reddit that you're considering adding blue arrows in the bonus pack for us future whitefox owners. Would you consider also adding a blue escape key to complete the blue set?
yes they've been included.

Can you consider making the number row the same style as these? Centred lower legend with split upper legends:
(http://i.imgur.com/hIxdaFE.jpg)
The design from the imgur album, with the empty space on the top right quarter, makes my skin itch :p
(http://i.imgur.com/QS0KjmL.png)
In my opinion on this style of number row:
It will look strange if you wanted to mix them with any of the international number row keys (which have centred primary legends and secondary legends off to the side).
If will look strange if you wanted to mix them the included numpad secondary legends.
There is no 'offset' version of the backslash key, so it would look strange with a split backspace layout (on the HHKB layout backslash has a secondary function on insert, tilde has the function of delete).
Basically, style wise they are not mix and match like all the other secondary legend keys :(
The ability to use a mix of kits to fill out any keyboard, due to the uniform profile and aesthetics, is one of the biggest achievements of the granite set :)
Just my 2 cents :thumb:

Will there be any changes to the Ergodoxian kit? Have you given any thought about rotating the legends 90 degrees on the = and - keys?
I second some additional 1.5u keys being rotated 90 degrees. With 4 of those rotated 1.5u spots and only 4 keys with rotated legends, your options are limited. Everyone is going to have different layouts, but the =+ and -_ are probably as good a candidates as any.
While I'm dreaming, including the 1.5u backspace key may be useful for those that don't map the backspace into their thumb cluster.
Also, any chance on the cut/copy/paste keys making a return?

I like the undo/cut/copy/paste keys as well on my blank Ergodox. Kinda wanted to add some color to them this round.
@Matt3o: was there any reason why the Text RGB kit doesn't have a Green Shift in 1.5u/1u and Red Control in 1u? Not trying to get overboard, but just noticed that when I pulled out my baggies from Round 2 or 3. With the new Planck (Grid type) keyboards have any of those users asked for those keys in RGB?

Horizontal, so I could place it over at the end of the top or second from the top row. If not possible, not a huge deal, I could always place a blank there.

that sounds good to me Matt3o, I can adjust easily... in fact, that has made me go back and evaluate the layout. Another pack to solve this isn't the end of the world to me. Thanks!!

I might be able to buy a couple kits in that case :blank:

Would the price listing on the "Transactions" page simply change with the price drop? Doesn't look like it has yet. Here's to hoping ;D

Yes, the price will change in the transactions page and will update your order automatically before the drop closes and before you are charged the drop price.

Just keep in mind that if you paid with PayPal, your payment will be rejected at the end of the drop since the charge amount changed. It's not a huge deal since you'll be notified immediately and you'll have 24 hours to re-authorize payment with the new amount.

That's why MD doesn't charge you until the drop ends.

the payment is rejected only if the charged value is higher than the original.

Great read Matt3o, I'm debating now if I should pick up two sets of the Elven Tongue Kit. :thumb:
Only two?

I already have more keysets than boards. :p
I could pick up three at the max, that would then be one for myself, one for my brother, and one for my father. However DSA isn't the best type of profile for typing so I'm sure my father would not enjoy it.

But I still think that the Secondary Legends pack should be sold without the numpad... I think that now, after the drop hit almost 3k purchases the numpad could still hit the MOQ easily as a separate child deal.
Post by: Matt3o on Thu, 14 January 2016, 13:20:21
Great to see that the base mods (Icons in my case) will include a 1.25u Shift key. One less reason to get a Pro Mods kit for my crazy ISO-ANSI hybrid layout...

Unfortunately we don't have a crystal ball, I estimated 500 common kits sold and we are hitting 1000 in less than 48h... If I knew...

Secondary Legends only has 58 orders. The number Massdrop gives is all the kits that have been ordered, so that doesn't mean that 3k people joined in on the buy. http://www.massdrop.community/mechkeys/granite/index.html

Those numbers haven't been updated since the price drop last night. I've been watching the number sold for the common kit, and it still shows 682 sold.

I've just ordered the the Common kit + Icon mods + Apple kit + Secondary legends pack. It will be my first custom keyset... hopefully without damages and such. I'm really afraid of SP and their QC.
I am afraid your fears are justified.

Ps. Ignore the weird thumb cluster and modifier caps. Not sure what these monsters did to my Ergodox while I was out of the office.

I missed this drop Batch One, so I'm thinking to buy "Think Different" Standard Modifier Keyset over @PMK (I'm purchasing their 6u spacebar anyway). Does the grey color of "Think Different" Standard Modifier Keyset look exactly the same as this Keyset?
Thank you.
