But RoW mods are getting there.

On the first page you said orders are closed Jan 2nd.  Is that when you are going to start collecting payment?  Also, when do you think these will be ready?

Thanks

Also, I know that at least a couple people would be in for the (grey on red), you mentioned earlier that if enough people were interested you would open it up?  How many people do you need to be interested?

can you update page one to reflect another mod set of (grey on red)?

Yes, I'll start collecting payment around Jan 2nd and continue until the first of February.  I'll submit the order then and it's 4-6 weeks for production.  I'll add red on gray to the order form now, if you've already filled the form and want that, PM me. 

And I need a minimum of 10. 

Actually, before I add it, which gray?  GA/GE/GX are the options, see OP for the color ring pic.

I executive decisioned it to be GA.

I see three interested parties in gray:

I think you may want to use GCF for the grey. It needs to be really subtle. The contrast between the WFK white base and GA mods will be too striking.

I think JDCarpe may have a point with the contrast. He has infinitely more experience than I do :)

Ok... I officially have no clue what gray would look good with white :P
I'll let some of the resident experts figure it out :)

  Just in case it's helpful, the RA 2 Red on Gray modifiers I got are "RBV on GAL" (at least according to my notes). I think they look a little Beige/Tan to my eyes.

I took a set of RA Red on White and a set of Imsto Red on Gray, and split them between two keyboards and both combinations are really nice.

My Model M keyboards remain pure and true PBT-only 'boards.

Besides, who among us has not dropped a double-shot Escape key on an Imsto set?  Or added a dye-sub novelty key to a double-shot set?

Mixing inside the base set or mixing OEM and DCS/Cherry profile are verboten, however!

  For fun I took a keyboard with a set of RA 2 key-caps  mounted and put a few of the GAL modifiers on top.

  See the attached image. While not unpleasant, I thought the contrast might be a tad low for my tastes.

I was holding off on this one because I really wanted the Red on Grey mods, so now that there's an option for them I filled in the form.  Here's hoping for enough interest in these.

Please tell your friends, family, neighbors, and people just passing by on the street about the grey mods.  We only need to get up to 10.

I'm one of the people that is signed up for the RoG mods and I'm OK with GA?  Did you want something different?  The lighter shade looks too light, I might be up for one shade darker though.  However, as of right now I'm in favor of GA. 

Of course I'm open to change, so if you want something other than GA, make your case.

I'll attempt to make some approximate mockups of the RoG mods soon. I'm pretty sure you guys don't want to go with anything darker than GCF, but I'll mock them up and let you debate it. The RA 2.0 mods were on GAL, which is even lighter than GCF. Going with GA, GE, or GX is in the wrong direction.

Sounds good to me.  I will happily defer to those with more experience with how these colours come out. :)

I sold my other modifiers because they were really more beige than grey. GA is my vote personally. In for those if there is a color change.
