And if you adjust them the buy will be significantly more expensive, yes?

I was planning on putting up an interest check thread tomorrow, but I'm fine to step aside if someone else wants the reigns.

Oh, no, please by all means take the Escape key over if you have intentions of doing it. My offer was to throw it onto my buy if nobody wanted to take it on but having you do it would be easier.

cycloverid · « **Reply #252 on:** Fri, 21 October 2011, 23:58:06 »

Wait, this would effect the cost in what way exactly?

I'm not talking about making another Moogle kit, I'm just talking about swapping the SVG files out with something more accurate - just to be clear.

If you want the Esc text to be exactly like the Cherry version, some adjustments will have to be made to my current version is what I'm trying to say.

I cannot speak on the Moogle Kit because I did not participate in the buy but with the Esc key I think people want it to be as close to the original Cherry ones as possible.

Oh I misunderstood you.

Thought you were talking about adjusting the moogle legends if we end up doing RGB versions. Maybe I'll include that question in the interest thread.

So does this mean you already have an Esc SVG?

Atenacius · « **Reply #256 on:** Sat, 22 October 2011, 00:12:38 »

If you scale down the text, isn't the thickness/boldness still the same since it's a different setting? I remember how you had to change your first SVG, which were outlines, to single paths instead

cycloverid · « **Reply #257 on:** Sat, 22 October 2011, 00:15:21 »

hashbaz: I was talking about the Moogle legends for the RGB or CMYK versions. If they are adjusted, this wouldn't effect the cost.

As for the Esc legend, I don't have the SVG file yet. I have a bunch of templates that I can use for size comparisons however. Pretty simple minus time getting the sizing perfect.

Atenacious: the boldness is assigned after the SVG files are submitted based on a certain cutter size. We would need to change the cutter size after I scaled the text down by a small amount to keep the same proportions. The text is just lines(curves), it has no thickness until I tell Sig. Plastics the size cutter to use.

Maybe this will make more sense: I measured the boldness of the text digitally based on an overlay that I used to position and set up the curves for the text. It is simply proportions, not an exact real world measurement.

Yeah, that's what my understanding of it is. I'm not sure if we have this already but we should have a archive of SVGs in our wiki to use for group buys. There might be some intellectual property issues but it'd be great for mix and matching designs

I don't think that any geekhackers would mind if their .SVG's were used for more group buys; it is not as if they are sold to the people doing individual buys.

I'm still confused. Doesn't changing the SVG mean a new mold and a new fee from SP?

cycloverid · « **Reply #261 on:** Sat, 22 October 2011, 00:40:19 »

They just charge a one time legend fee per file for custom legends. It ranges from $25-45 based on the complexity of the design/specifications.

hashbaz · « **Reply #262 on:** Sat, 22 October 2011, 00:54:11 »

So you can change the files at will for free, even for a different order? If so I'd say we should tweak them to be more Cherry-like.

hashbaz · « **Reply #263 on:** Sat, 22 October 2011, 01:07:13 »

cycloverid, is it cool if I use the moogle images you've posted in this thread as examples of the custom legends?

7bit · « **Reply #264 on:** Sat, 22 October 2011, 02:01:13 »

Quote from: RColinTaylor;436518

Well, I think I could do the buy in some capacity if nobody else steps up; I am already doing two right now but they both are fairly basic. Nothing too strenuous is involved in escape keys and modifiers.

Wait a minute!

The job of a follow-up has been already offered to me!

Back on-topic, have the moogle sets been shipped yet?

cycloverid · « **Reply #266 on:** Sat, 22 October 2011, 02:18:20 »

I sent off for the boxes on wednesday... sorry was a little disorganized getting that started.

EDIT: Tried calling USPS in several locations to see if they had boxes, didnt get one answered call...

hashbaz · « **Reply #267 on:** Sat, 22 October 2011, 04:34:49 »

Red Esc interest thread is up.

I am so looking forward to getting the kit. However, I am not looking forward to trying to make the space bar work on my favorite Leopold keyboard

Do you mean you are still waiting for USPS boxes, or do you mean you have already mailed out our orders last Wednesday?

cycloverid · « **Reply #270 on:** Tue, 25 October 2011, 15:22:40 »

Still haven't gotten the boxes. Should have sent out for them before the keys got here...

litster · « **Reply #271 on:** Tue, 25 October 2011, 15:23:47 »

You don't have to call anyone. Just go here and order priority boxes for free: https://shop.usps.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10052&catalogId=10001&categoryId=10000036

cycloverid · « **Reply #272 on:** Tue, 25 October 2011, 15:47:41 »

Litster:

Sorry for the confusion. I ordered the boxes Wednesday of last week. The problem was, it said it would take 7 or so days to arrive. This is why I was calling around to see if I could get them in-store. After a day or two of that I realized ordering them online was the only way - and I should have just done that first.

litster · « **Reply #273 on:** Tue, 25 October 2011, 15:56:30 »

Got it. No problem. I have had luck just walking into post offices and get the boxes they have on shelves.

godofdeath · « **Reply #274 on:** Tue, 25 October 2011, 20:28:40 »

if anyone not want a black moogle kit i will take it

litster · « **Reply #275 on:** Mon, 31 October 2011, 20:51:22 »

cycloverid, have you received your boxes yet? When do you think you can send them out? Thanks.

cycloverid · « **Reply #277 on:** Wed, 02 November 2011, 18:17:46 »

Yeah, sorry everyone. The boxes arrived on Friday of last week.

I entered all the shipping info in the USPS program last weekend, but didn't have time to do more. This weekend I will ship everything off at once.

Sorry for the wait. I did warn everyone that this would be difficult for me!

litster · « **Reply #278 on:** Wed, 02 November 2011, 18:18:22 »

Sweet!!!! Thanks for the update man!

Interested in future rounds.

the_buff · « **Reply #281 on:** Sat, 05 November 2011, 16:29:58 »

Exciting, I had almost forgotten about paying for these. Looking forward to them.

Oqsy · « **Reply #282 on:** Sat, 05 November 2011, 19:15:52 »

Cycloverid: any chance we could use these svg files in GB R4 for those that are just ordering cherry corp doubleshots in the recent GB?

I just missed this round, and would love to get in for a black moogle kit soon.

litster · « **Reply #283 on:** Sat, 05 November 2011, 19:32:58 »

cycloverid said 2 weeks ago that he is going to pass the SVG files to 7bit once he makes the final adjustment. 7bit is waiting for the files and will use them when they become available.

Oqsy · « **Reply #284 on:** Sat, 05 November 2011, 20:26:35 »

Ah good. Saves me a lot of work!

MissileMike · « **Reply #285 on:** Mon, 07 November 2011, 08:39:47 »

If he waits until the deadline, I will throw them out of the group buy!

For doing layout graphics, they would need no tweak at all!

Cycloverid, can you give us an update? Any update at all? You received tracking number from Melissa on October 13th. You said it was delivered on the same day. You said you have all keys sorted in ziplock bags on Oct 15th. And mailing boxes arrived over a week ago, yet, we still don't know whether you have them packed and shipped or not. If you are busy, that is cool. Just a heads up to us would be fine. But we have not heard from you days on end. What's up dude?

jpm804 · « **Reply #288 on:** Mon, 07 November 2011, 13:35:38 »

Also looking for any update on the shipping status? Almost willing to just come pick it up now since he is in the bay area also.

cycloverid · « **Reply #289 on:** Mon, 07 November 2011, 15:15:31 »

Spent atleast a couple hours last night getting all the right quantities of keys into boxes, with little post-it notes on each one with your real names. Now all I have to do is get the labels on each one and bring them to USPS.

Sorry, tomorrow morning they'll be off.

While you are here: What about the SVGs?

May I have them, PLEASE¡!!!¡!¡
