[IC] Halloween Kit

[Matt3o]

Would there be interest for a DSA + PBT + Dye-sub kit like this?



I reckon it could go in the $15-20 range (don't know yet)

[Sent]

Ghost bro key...yes.  Give it to me.  I'd probably be in just because it's DSA so I can put them anywhere.

[azhdar]

Interested if PBT

[LechnerDE]

10/10 would buy

[CommonCurt]

Interested.

Would be more interested if it were dye-sub DCS.
That way I could use them with more of my sets.

[MOZ]

For some reason Halloween kits always end up being thought of very late, even if these do materialise into GB, they won't be reaching end users before new year.

end of November (I agree it's late... but not so late )

[BunnyLake]

id grab a couple sets sir

[inanis]

I'm down with this, even if it wouldn't come in by this Halloween. There is room in my world for Halloween all year round.

[Matt3o]

guys, halloween is an excuse to make some fancy caps I don't think you'd use them just 1 day!

[elton5354]

Would buy if DCS profile.

I think you should also use Christmas as an excuse to make some fancy caps, then.  I love that holiday.

[fifthawk]

Gotta have it.

[lionblinds]

would be interested if DCS profile

[Matt3o]

it seems to be quite some interest in DCS too

I can offer both but the MOQ would be pretty high so we really need a lot of interest

These are for next year's Halloween, so we're early

[Karura]

I'll probably take a set

[Skuloth]

I have no self control, I'm in.

[GL1TCH3D]

Should go nicely with granite! PBT is love. PBT is life

[abandoner]

Count me in 

[Toxic-i-]

Count in

[iamtootallforthis]

Interested

[Fire Brand]

Woah woah woah, I need this pretty awesome looking also woud it be possible to see about making this a number row with a backspace as it will look awesome with my nostaglia set :x

[okwchin]

the cuteness is one main reason I will be in.



But where will I actually use it...

[Matt3o]

Woah woah woah, I need this pretty awesome looking also woud it be possible to see about making this a number row with a backspace as it will look awesome with my nostaglia set :x

well, if in DSA you can put them wherever you want. DCS is also an option, but maybe the function row is a better spot for them

Thats true, they look nice both ways so I'm in

I'm in the same boat.  I want the keys but I have no clue where I'd actually use them.

[GL1TCH3D]

There are 12 keys so I'd just throw them on F1-12 =D

[jdcarpe]

Y U DSA??

Would buy if DCS double shot.

[Skuloth]

I vote for DSA or doing a set of both since interest could probably be gotten for both profiles.

[billnye]

Same

[Matt3o]

I asked quote for both profiles. Hopefully we'll do both

[Skuloth]

Excellent. I need a spooky scary DSA ghost on my keyboard.

[Matt3o]

ok bad news, good news.

bad news is that DSA tooling is booked until next year. So we would have to wait a couple of months for a DSA kit. DCS instead would be ready before xmas.

good news is that pricing is lower than I thought, have to check shipping and taxes and I'll post the final figure.

It doesn't surprise me that DSA is all booked up.  It seems like at least once a week I see someone talking about starting a DSA set on PMK.com.

Looking forward to seeing how much this will cost in dye-sub DCS 

[GL1TCH3D]

Damn was really interested in seeing this in a DSA set to Halloween-ofy a granite set. Even if it takes a year to deliver it would still be in time for next halloween and even if you switch to DCS it won't be here for halloween

[HendyZone]

Halloween 2015
Make it as a keyboard set matt

That's would pretty cool

[jackalope]

would buy

[Matt3o]

would you be interested in a full halloween set?!

[ccc24]

any chance you can run SA and DCS? And I would also definitely be in for a whole set.

[jackalope]

would you be interested in a full halloween set?!

I am interested in what i saw in the first post, would be interested in a full layout possible.

[Matt3o]

unfortunately we can't dyesub SA yet, and doubleshot would be too expensive (for all 12 keys)

regarding pricing, I'm aiming at $13.13 per kit

[lavalamp]

Looks good -- I would buy it.

I also wouldn't say no to a Full 104 or TKL set with a gothic-y, Diabloesque font.   Maybe with Cauldrons for the Window key mods and broom or witch's hat for the menu key mod.  Perhaps adding in some glow in the dark ghosties, spiderwebs, gravestones and/or crypts.

they are all very nice ideas actually! I'll give the full set a shot

glow in the dark legends would indeed peek my interest on a full set. 10/10 would buy

DAMN straight  .  Offer a full 104 and TKL kit and I'll front up for this with bells on.  Make it all PBT because we here at GH just love PBT to death, hence you got to relent to our basic needs here Matt.

[Matt3o]

I was toying with the idea of orange alpha PBT/sublimated. black mods with orange legends ABS/2-shot

[Elrick]

Just shoot us some samples, which all of us want to desperately see  .  WE have to have a 2-piece set featuring both PBT and ABS - which will be an absolute first here on GH.

[Matt3o]

letters and spacebar would be PBT so no shining

we could do ESC and Return in purple PBT maybe, so durable as well.

[JaccoW]

Down for more small novelty kits. Even if I don't celebrate Halloween around here

[tyvar1]

Totally interested!

[renne]

Any updates? Totally interested!

[Elocutive]

This would perfectly complement nostalgia. In!

[Matt3o]

I talked with some resellers and they are totally interested... but it's too late and they want to run it next year. I should run it on my own if we want to have it now.

[renne]

Sir, I like all your designs (Granite, Midnight, etc), also this one. As far as I know, every GB takes a long time to the final product. Why not start it as soon as possible?
And personally, I'd prefer a small set of novelties instead of a full set.

[MOZ]

Told ya , this always happens. Start the IC in early July next year so you have a month for IC, a month for orders, and two for production and delivery.

But this is the beta run / really early IC for the first run that will be sold by resellers. So we're still fairly early 

[JackMills]

Maybe you could start a christmas set instead

Great idea! I love Santa Claus and deers!

is there really interest for a xmas kit?

what would you like to see in it? I'm not a huge fan of the xmas iconography.

depends on the results, but I would be interested, we don't really celebrate halloween over here, but christmas is something else. I would guess red as the base color(maybe with green and/or white)  some keys with a tree, reindeer and santa on it. Maybe a "ho ho ho' key as enter, backspace, caps lock (any of the larger keys).

[CommonCurt]

Would have to see what you had in mind.

As much as I love christmas, I don't think I would want a xmas themed set.

There was an interest check for a Xmas set last year:

http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=50968.msg1120289#msg1120289

Didn't take off. Green and red just don't look good on a keyboard in my opinion.

Maybe a winter theme with a couple of Xmas novelty keys works better?

I am thinking of white alphas and dark green mods (like a fir tree covered in snow) plus xmas novelties like boxes of presents or a sleigh or snowman or something.

[Matt3o]

oh we are talking about a full set?

[JackMills]

You're right, a winter theme could appeal more people. Novelties could be sled, ski, skate...

oh we are talking about a full set?

No, 4 full sets (winter, spring, summer and autumn) 

[asdfjkl36]

Agree with LechnerDE. I like Christmas and the red and green combo, but a full set just doesn't seem right on the keyboard. It may at times, but overall, eh.

If there was a Christmas theme, I'd go for a kit instead of a full set.

[renne]

oh we are talking about a full set?

Personally, I'd like a small set of novalties.

[LechnerDE]

Since you were considering a Halloween set I just assumed you wouldn't be opposed to a full Christmas set

[renne]

In my opinion, it's not a good time to spend tons of dollars on a full set at this time, since black friday and xmas and new year are all coming. But as a poor student, I still would like to spend 30~40 dollars on a small set of novelties. That's much cheaper!

[JackMills]

A christmas novelty set would be more than enough, as Renne pointed it out, lots of stuff to spend money on this time of the year.

However I am semi-serious about the 4 season sets, seems a cool idea to me, and, as I am not really creative, to anybody who reads this and finds it a good idea, please go ahead and make it happen.

I had an idea about autumn scheme several weeks ago. Unfortunately, I'm not a designer. Or can anyone help me make it real?

Red/orange or red/yellow? Would love to see a set with those colors =O

I can help where possible since I've done a bit of research on it though maybe asking people like Matt for that would be better

For the christmas one, I really like the base. I wouldn't mind having a snowman or a ginger bread man all year round. Haha
That halloween set though. I'd buy that in a heart beat.

[Elrick]

Matt just make a key-set design using the traditional Orange and Black colours of Halloween, that's about it.  It's a nice colour-way with many subtle design characteristics that can be added by yourself  .

Always liked Orange and Black just use some nice iconography and you'll have a winner.  Don't know whether it would be good in PBT due to their lack of brightness for Orange but do stick with the traditional ABS material to achieve your original design objectives.

Not too keen on an official Christmas set because most Europeans and South Americans follow Religious doctrines during that time of the year whilst us morons here worship a fat dude in a red suit only and fantasize what gifts we're all getting during that time frame.

Best to avoid a key-set trying to depict a REAL (or fantasy) Xmas because it could get nasty and offensive with certain people out there.  For the Christians it's the BIGGEST time of the year and best leave that time alone free from any schlock depiction in key-sets.  Besides we've got all of 2015 to buy more key-sets of just about anything made by SP, so time to give it a rest and enjoy the holidays coming in December.

Also gives people time to save up for the coming year in new key-set buys  .

[Matt3o]

I'm not very much interested in ABS anymore... I still have some ideas for ABS (retro SA) but I hope to be using it as less as possible

hey all, 1st time here..i was checking around, saw the galaxy class set but was bummed it was sold out..saw someone mention this set in another post and now im psyched again haha..i would be in for the full 104 set if the above ideas were implemented!...now im glad i didnt waste the money on that galaxy class set haha

[romevi]

Okay, one more dead matt3o thread.

What's the reason this/these sweet sets died? is it because they can't be PBT? With Hallowe'en right around the corner, it'd be sweet to get these, but seeing as it'd probably be difficult to get them done in time, maybe a nice Xmas gift?

[zzyjayfree]

I'M IN!

[zzyjayfree]

Guess they would be good for next Halloween!

At that price range, in DCS, and although Halloween is not big down here, I'd be interested.

Would buy if DSA profile.

You haven't designed a full on Orange and Black (halloween) key-set layout, hence get started already.

Everyone knows your work so go forth with your usual style and care and I bet once you post it here on GH and/or even on MD, it'll go crazy popular.

Have faith in your work because we all know what you have done in the past and they were all perfect key-sets in their own right so we all look forward to another matt3o master piece.

Have already boxes of your your key-sets with your name and date applied to each, because I want more (let's get creepy now) of Matt3o in my home  .

[linkshine]

Ohhhh man this set is gorgeous. I'm in for 2 atleast. One for me and one for my brother
