[IC] g80-1800 & g80-186x compatibility set for SP keycaps

(1/5) > >>

inlikeflynn:
Time to-do an interest check for a g80-1800 compatibility set to be used with SP keycap sets.


Typically with the combination of base kit + 10key kit + tsangan kit you would have enough caps to fit everywhere on an 1800 board, but it had the wrong profile and/or legend for 5-6 of them.
If you were trying to fit an 1863/1865 board, you needed to order 2 tsangan kits to get the 7 1x keys and find a 6x spacebar from elsewhere to use

To make a set fit all keys on an 1800 with the correct profile, you need 5 or 6 additional keys. This will be called the 1800 kit
-SP ROW 4 1x 0 key (this key is usually included with the 10key kits, but for WYSE sets it doesn't exist anywhere)
-SP ROW 3 1x +
-SP ROW 2 1x -
-SP ROW 1 1x Delete
-SP ROW 1 1x End
-SP ROW 1 1x Page Down

To make a set fit all keys on an 1863/1865 with correct profile you need 8 additional keys. This will be called the 186x kit
-SP ROW 4 1x Ctrl (qty 2)
-SP ROW 4 1x Alt (qty 2)
-SP ROW 4 1x windows (qty 2)
-SP ROW 4 1x meta (qty 1)
-SP ROW 4 6x spacebar

Here is a picture showing the keys necessary for an 1800 in red and the additional keys necessary for an 186x in purple:



anything else like the 1.75x right shift or ISO things are covered already in the tsangan kits or ISO kits and not here.


I don't expect there to be a lot of interest for these, so even hitting the usual 25 minimum tier will be expensive. So no pricing as of yet
I expect there will be even less interest in the 186x kit, which is why I have things split out in 2 at least for the interest check.


No fancy form here, just respond in the thread below which kit(s) you are interested in and which SP keycap sets you are interested in (WYSE, CCnG, RA, Ragnrock)

QTY, TYPE, COLOR


Example:
1, 1800, WYSE

Can Signature Plastics make a 6x spacebar instead of 6.2x?
I'm in for one of each for WYSE since some of the keys could be good for an MX mini or other non-standard layouts. I want to have the 1800 kit built into the toxic numpad kit, but maybe the 1865 wouldn't be out of the question to add in, or just as a separate group buy in toxic colors. I do use a 1865 or close enough layout keyboard at work. It has the touchpad under the numpad though so can't remember how that changes it since I'm not at that computer right now.

yes they can make the 6x spacebar. it is listed in the DCS datasheet

you have an 11900 then at work which has the touchpad under the numpad and that is an even weirder list of requirements.  :(  Adding the 186x kit would allow you to populate the clrl/alt/win/meta/space row. The 11800/11900 would also still have the problem of their 2x small right shift which is unique to them. And also it has tons of other keys still in the wrong profile still as the <ESC> key, the keys on the function key rows (there are two of them) and numeric keypad keys all have the size and profile of the keys of the home row (SP ROW3). I copied that last bit of text from the DT wiki

GMC:
I dont have any of the sets but always liked the ragnarock one.

That said I'd love to see this as a standing offering and if I had the cash now I'd probably sign up for a rag kit and get on the lookout for the rest of the set!

Edit: Thinking about it I think my wkl 1800 has an offcentre stemmed capslock.  Does that need added to the kits?
Would love to see Flynn kits made standard for buys. O0
