Looks awesome!

calavera · « **Reply #202 on:** Sat, 15 October 2011, 01:42:53 »

Hey I hope you ordered some extra sets because I want to buy more sets. Please let me know ASAP.

dux · « **Reply #203 on:** Sat, 15 October 2011, 03:13:27 »

perfection!

how about a RGB set with that font? or black on white (not beige)?

Grond · « **Reply #204 on:** Sat, 15 October 2011, 05:09:40 »

They look great! I'd also be into a matching RGB set, as long as it includes ISO options (namely: short left shift). I also wouldn't mind a yellow 1.5 "cherry star" key to use as a neutral system key. See what I mean here: http://deskthority.net/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=525&hilit=rgby

Interested in this question also...

They look great! Count me in as someone who'd be interested in RGBs. I got a set from the GB on those because there were leftovers available but your work with the fonts would make them ever so much better.

If we do RGB modifiers we should also do red ESCs with the same faux Cherry custom legends.

Fantastic, well done

FYI, there's already a RGB set in group buy #4.
I think we should just do another run with added shorter right shift...etc since that group buy takes a loooooooooooooooong time.

Grond · « **Reply #211 on:** Sat, 15 October 2011, 08:16:51 »

I'm sure we can get them faster with a smaller group buy like this. Also I guess a lot of people, especially on DT, might be interested in the ISO option, because it hasn't been available for the RGB orders I've seen in the past months.

and R4 has neither a moogle kit, nor confirmed, that grey colors fit cherry keys. If not RGB.

+1 for another round

Good idea. The standard SP Esc keys are nice, but having everything match would be nicer.

Damn you guys, I thought I was done spending money on keyboard crap. First the WASD lasered keys, then the Leopolds with clears, now new mo' better RGBs...

cycloverid · « **Reply #214 on:** Sat, 15 October 2011, 16:27:26 »

I'd love a red escape key. Hell, I'd set up the SVG file for it.

That's all well and good, but who is doing the distributing this time?!

I'm looking at this box of keys I still have to sort out...

Atenacius · « **Reply #215 on:** Sat, 15 October 2011, 20:52:52 »

I'm in for the Cherry style red esc key. Definitely going to want 2 or 3 of them

cycloverid · « **Reply #216 on:** Sun, 16 October 2011, 01:18:07 »

I spent about an hour or so separating each set into little ziplock bags. Looks like we have 2 bonus sets, minus 1 key each... kinda disheartening.

So extra sets are as follows:

2X WHITE (complete)
1X BLACK (complete)
1X WHITE (minus caps lock)
1X BLACK (minus menu key)

NOTE: I didn't get lots of extra sets! But, we have the files - all you need is to get another group ready! (unless changes are made)

Here is a picture of the keys on my Filco:

[ Attachment Invalid Or Does Not Exist ] 28747[/ATTACH]

UJELLY?

?

The biggest problem is that the spacebar is very noticeably whiter than the other white keys. I'm not sure if they have a better color choice to be honest, I only asked for a couple samples and chose the best of them.

Those of you who got the white kit will definitely notice the added boldness of the text... sorry about this. Unfortunately the legends are actually very different thicknesses between the white and black Cherry keys. So we had to compromise, and the black keys will be almost perfect. :/

EDIT: Oh, and the menu key is just a tad bit wonky.

I'll get everything sent out in a week or two!

Atenacius · « **Reply #217 on:** Sun, 16 October 2011, 01:29:05 »

Still looks great. Thanks for the painless group buy. Looking forward to completing my keys and hopefully getting in on some new ones later on. Gah, so excited

calavera · « **Reply #218 on:** Sun, 16 October 2011, 01:56:40 »

I'll take one more complete black set.

cycloverid · « **Reply #219 on:** Sun, 16 October 2011, 02:16:58 »

I guess I have to get organized with this. Ishtob has spoken for the 1 free black set.... sorry. He asked me a couple days ago for one of the extras....

Maybe I'll make a separate section on the main page. I'll probably offer up the ones with missing keys for a reasonable discount (if anyone even wants one with missing keys - I can keep the xtras too).

jpm804 · « **Reply #220 on:** Sun, 16 October 2011, 10:44:04 »

Cycloverid - are you selling those complete white ones then? And might be integested in black incomplete.

cycloverid · « **Reply #221 on:** Sun, 16 October 2011, 16:49:13 »

I'm selling all the extras I listed on the last page.

lootbag · « **Reply #222 on:** Sun, 16 October 2011, 17:16:06 »

GOod to hear the news cycloverid.
Smooth sailing so far.
Hope to get my set soon!

Updated the main page with the extra info.

Cool guys, all sold. Include shipping $ in your payments if you don't already have an order through me.

Do it soon so I can get everything organized!

Now to figure out the easiest way to get the 50 flat rate boxes from USPS.

ishtob · « **Reply #228 on:** Sun, 16 October 2011, 23:25:42 »

would you like me to send you the payment or wait til you confirm you got an extra set?

ishtob · « **Reply #229 on:** Sun, 16 October 2011, 23:29:26 »

scratch that i just read over the past few threads, payment sent

Grond · « **Reply #231 on:** Tue, 18 October 2011, 05:56:54 »

So is anyone starting a RGB group buy? I would do it myself, but I think it would be impractical, since I live in Italy. Unless I start a ISO RGB group buy for Europe only... Anyway, Cycloverid, are you ok to let me or other people use your SVGs for new orders?

calavera · « **Reply #232 on:** Tue, 18 October 2011, 12:43:11 »

I'm willing to take charge of the RGB but I'll be busy until mid November.

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #233 on:** Tue, 18 October 2011, 17:54:12 »

The keys came out very nice. I'm definitely looking forward to getting them and finally finishing out my doubleshot set.
You know, I see rgb all the time, it's so done. Why is there no CMYK set?

Hakhu · « **Reply #234 on:** Wed, 19 October 2011, 07:02:05 »

How about that Red Esc DS groupbuy someone mentioned! I'm sure we'd find enough people for that.

I always wanted a CMYK set too.

I'm in for CMYK.

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #237 on:** Thu, 20 October 2011, 18:43:43 »

Perhaps I'll do a CMYK gb soon...

hashbaz · « **Reply #238 on:** Fri, 21 October 2011, 04:14:19 »

I'm not super interested in CMYK but I'm considering initiating the RGB+Esc group buy. I just worry about sufficient interest given that everyone has aggiejy's RGB sets.

Yea, it may be a bit early still on the back of Aggiejy's buy to do another GH-centered RGB set but the Red Esc is probably a welcomed doubleshot buy; nobody is really doing a simple version of an escape key at the moment.

hashbaz · « **Reply #240 on:** Fri, 21 October 2011, 12:40:50 »

Maybe I'll start an interest thread and see who wants just Esc and who wants RGB+Esc.

RColinTaylor · « **Reply #242 on:** Fri, 21 October 2011, 22:04:05 »

Is the assumed style of the 'Esc' key doubleshot similar to what would come with a new keyboard? (filco, leopold, realforce, etc)

The idea is to duplicate this as closely as possible, especially the font:

This one is a vintage Cherry cap and belongs to reaper.

Well then I support everything about this buy. Its rare to get simplistic doubleshots that bring class to a keyboard...

And yes, I understand the irony involved in that statement; Keys like 'Awesome Face' and 'Jolly Roger' sort of contradict that belief.

God, that key looks so good. I hope we're able to get it right like the Moogle 2 did. We've gotta get a good match for color and font, which means it helps for the person organizing it to get a hold of one.

If you mail one of them to SP I am pretty sure that they could duplicate it pretty easily; that was the first plan they had when trying to get the Universal Spacebar project off of the ground.

We'll have to choose the color and make the SVG file ourselves. cycloverid did a fantastic job with the SVGs for this moogle buy. He said at one point that he'd be willing to do an Esc legend too if someone else runs the buy.

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.

cycloverid · « **Reply #249 on:** Fri, 21 October 2011, 23:52:00 »

Yeah, this will be really easy guys.

The only problem I've been mulling over is: Do I try to correct any issues with the Moogle 2 for next time?

--First, I went about 10-15% too big on the actual text sizes. I didn't have any super accurate measuring device, so I went with the digital overlays.

--Next, I probably favored the black key boldness too much.

--If I reduced the size of the text, the boldness would also be reduced slightly (proportions).

Now, do we accept the current slightly off version? Or do I correct this for the next batch? If corrected, they won't match the existing Moogle 2 kit...
