If you have a color ring the color codes are:
Dark blue: GEW
Darker blue: GB

What do I need? Please read!

The base kit includes only the alpha! To cover any keyboard you need at least the Base kit AND either the Midnight Modifiers or the Twilight modifiers!

Twilight Modifiers

Numpad
As per the base set to cover a numpad you have to grab the base numpad kit and either the Midnight or Twilight numpad adder.

Recommended kits

I highly recommend to grab one of the additional modifiers to make your set future proof.

Nice to have

Glow in the dark kit!

ISO kit

WASD kit includes a 5 polycarbonate keys!

Boring Joe

(http://www.pimpmykeyboard.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/boring-joe.png)

Important!

The additional modifiers do not include a 7u spacebar. If you have a 1.5u modifiers keyboard you also need to grab the spacebar!

The base alpha includes a 6.25u spacebar but remember to grab some spares to make your order shine-proof!

If you have any question don't hesitate to ask!

Good hunting!

Because it's a Vendor Group Buy?

They used to have Vendor Group Buys in the Main Group Buy section but they have now moved them to their Vendor forums

That's nothing unusual. Bigger keys simply cost more - it's as simple as that ;)

it's actually the lower MOQs; it's somewhat confusing I guess.

the alphas are 34 but require at least 50 purchases
the mods are 53 but only require 25 purchase (they drop to 38 after 50)

don't want to rain on the parade, love the set, but I want to hold out for the SA profile version.

Please consider that even though the MOQ is 50, the target is really 100! A full TKL set should end up costing $70. Remember these are Cherry Replica legends, you don't see many around.

If you like the set and want to make it successful please spread the word! You may also add a link in your signature if you please.

The set hasn't been made yet.  So there is no way to show you them in real life.

I can't decide between the Midnight and the Twilight mods. Both are a little bit too much for my wallet right now...

I am leaning towards the Midnight Mods, because the turqouise of the Twilight Mods might be a little too bright for my taste :)

Post by: Matt3o on Tue, 24 June 2014, 02:21:39
Midnight set is dark themed by default. Twilight has been added to spice it up a bit. It's a very vibrant design and might actually turn out very well. When in doubt go full Midnight.

Just a friendly reminder.

Glow in The dark really... glows!

I took a picture to the color chip in complete darkness.

I keep getting requests for an ergodox kit. You people really want a DCS ergodox? I have no problem adding one, but I don't think DCS is the best profile for that.

i would get in on this, but the custom fees are killing it for me. not going to pay almost as much as the set cost in VAT and import fees.

I'm buying this set for another keyboard in hopes that its success eventually leads to a set with SA or DSA profile and some ErgoDox mods.  ;D

Matt3o, do you have a list of the keys in the Additional Modifiers sets handy?  I'm trying to figure out if some of those keys will work on a non-standard Corsair bottom row.
Title: Re: [GB] Midnight Set ~ DCS w/ Cherry Replica Font
Post by: Matt3o on Wed, 25 June 2014, 16:56:55
The list of keys of the additional modifiers is as follow:

1u backspace
1.5u backspace
1.75u control (+stepped)
1u FN
1.75u shift
2.25u shift
1u FN
2x 1u wolf key
1u menu
2x 1u ctrl
2x 1u alt
1.25u capslock
1.25u FN
2x 1.5u ctrl
2x 1.5u alt
1.5u capslock

Vertical key position respects the actual row of the key (that's why you have two separate 1u keys in two different rows)

A DCS ergodox would actually be nice because i know many people don't like non-sculpted on the ergodox (DSA), the ergodox is flat and sometimes that is annoying for the top row keys, not as flexible with key cap placement for custom layouts so pretty everything will have to be blanks (wouldnt that make it cheap?) unless you wanted to add some random symbols or something like they did for Prenumbra. I would love a sculpted set instead of DSA but not sure if i want to shine up another ABS set and make it my daily driver, but id be down for the purchase.

I considered VBV, but at the end I opted for the more vibrant VCO.

Re ergodox, the IC didn't really show any interest in it, if you really want it please cast your vote here fast!

I tried to do that with my 150$ Galaxy Class Set order, but in the end you save like 5$ because you have to pay twice for shipping, have to send around money which means extra paypal fees, etc.

It's not worth the hustle IMO. But I feel your pain: Paying 20% more than the CONUS people plus higher shipping costs to EU is like paying for an extra set you don't get. In the end I told myself to suck it up and just order it. If you really like a set, you will value it even more ;)

How many EU people besides me are interested in a Midnight Set? If somebody want's to be the proxy for ALL EU orders it might be worth it though!

We are off to a really slow start. I guess it was just too many GBs in the last couple of months...

If you like the set, place your order now! It doesn't make sense to wait for better price tiers, because they will never come if nobody orders.

Spread the word and update your signatures people!

A really slow start indeed... not half of the people who voted for DCS ordered so far.

I do not expect this to be as successful as Granite, but honestly the MOQ has been already set pretty high so the price is already low. There's no reason to wait for the last minute.

Fvcking typical  ;) .

Those same arseholes who were screaming for DCS profile have now left the building all quiet like they never mentioned it.  Trust me Matt it's not the first time when it comes to so-called 'democracy' that it demonstratively fails so easily here.

In the future don't ever waste your time letting this lot here choose what profile or colours to apply upon any key-set. You are the commander in chief (not them) hence you make the decision on everything.  We are now living in the fascist age hence Matt get with the times and start running any future Group Buys like a head-honcho.

The ones that complain or b1tch about what a key-set should look like, can always run their own Group Buy in due course (then they'll know what it's truly like).

I started working on the Midnight before the SP system was online and this rain of GBs flooded us. As I said many times I pushed this because I like to close what I start, not properly because we needed another keyset at this time, even though I love Midnight and it would be one of the few DCS that I would actually use.

Anyway, even Granite was a late bloomer and we all know how it ended :) Fortunately Melissa convinced me to lower the MOQ, I wanted to start from 100.

Hope so, nothing worse than seeing this fail to tip  >:D .  Considering this may be Matt3o's last key-set to ever be designed here on Geekhack it would be lousy for the so-called DCS fanatics, to not support this Group Buy.

I have no clue why this GB is kinda struggling. The set has everything your other sets have - a beautiful color scheme and some novelty caps!

The only reason I can imagine is some kind of oversaturation of GBs.

Right now it feels like a gamble to order anything beyond a basic TKL set, because you might end up with a 44$ Tsangan Kit, etc.

A commitment system a la Massdrop would be really helpful to get this thing going. As long as people can exactly determine how much they pay in the end, they are more likely to make a decision.

I know.  I mentioned it in one of SP's threads and they said that it would be a major pain in the ass to add that MassDrop style commit option.

It would help them sell more sets if they would just add it.

I'm sorry it had to come to this BUT you're too good for these pack of liars and scumbags.  They talk big on supporting your Group Buys and then go all quiet trying to avoid their own humiliation.  When a person gives their word then they stick by it, that denotes honesty and integrity which more than half here lack completely (or do not know anything about those words).

Another great key-set designer has departed from this realm and you lot don't deserve anymore key-sets whatsoever  >:D .

I don't blame Matt for leaving, after all why even bother to do anything here when it gets ignored even after everyone made the requests for him to do that design profile in the first place.

I believe gray+blue DCS would be perfect. Beige DSA definitely a lovely option.

I will think about it. Sublimatied kits take a lot of time to design... and I start to wonder what I'm doing this for :) (I have more caps than keyboards already... actually I should sell some of them)

but now... back to Midnight.

I believe gray+blue DCS would be perfect. Beige DSA definitely a lovely option.

I will think about it. Sublimatied kits take a lot of time to design... and I start to wonder what I'm doing this for :) (I have more caps than keyboards already... actually I should sell some of them)

Don't sell your keyboards fill them with your work buddy  :thumb: .  If you run out of keyboards buy more and more till you have them coming out of everywhere in your home.

Matt has moved passed buying keyboards.  He's designing them now :thumb:

custom keyboards are so much better than the average keyboard you can buy. The only great commercial keyboard I keep using is a FC660C customized to 55g. Best sound/feel experience so far.

So you're now a Thorpie Connoisseur  ::) .  I won't hold that against you since I still love my Realforce's as well, still can not throw them out no matter how much I try to hate them.

I have no clue why this GB is kinda struggling. The set has everything your other sets have - a beautiful color scheme and some novelty caps!

The only reason I can imagine is some kind of oversaturation of GBs.


I totally agree with you on this! Matt3o had designed a gorgeous set that has pretty much everything!
I hope the DCS can tip and then SA will start.

It looks really good with those Cherry legends!

Nevertheless I am afraid people will only realize this AFTER the first pictures appear in the media threads...

Maybe some vendors can help? I3oilermaker also helped the Galaxy Class Set - maybe he can get a couple of midnight sets as well :)

guys if it doesn't tip, it doesn't tip. I don't need another keyset, I design these keycaps for the community. If the community doesn't like it, so be it. I won't lose my sleep for that. Simply, ICs are completely useless with this SP system and I won't base my future designs on them.

Sadly, interest doesn't mean the people have the money or commitment to buy. I'm really hoping this buy will go through with at least one complete set.
Title: Re: [GB] Midnight Set ~ DCS w/ Cherry Replica Font
Post by: LechnerDE on Wed, 02 July 2014, 02:22:18
Yeah, interest checks are only useful if they run for max. 1 week to identify possible problems with the kits and the GB should start immediately afterwards.

Otherwise the interest isn't worth anything because people are impatient and will spend their money elsewhere if the GB is delayed too long...

If I could sell half of my Round 5 stuff I would take one midnight. I have spent way too much in that GB, just buying and buying and after testing SA profile I don't even like it so much. I don't know what I was thinking of, I missed Granite due to this, and looking at my wallet I'll be missing also Midnight. And this a DCS I would love to have, maybe I will scrap the money to buy it  :(

Meh the color scheme for orange crush combined with hitting pmk right on the heals of granite I'm not surprised it didn't tip. As for midnight I was really hoping for more of a navy coloring. I still might pick it up but I'll decide after a few days with my granite pbts

Hey Matt3o,

maybe you should add the renders to the official PMK site as well.

I guess it wouldn't hurt either if someone posted those renders on reddit for some cross-promotion...

I know GBs aren't really allowed, but showing off some renders should be fine ... maybe someone accidentally links the PMK GB in the comments ;)
Title: Re: [GB] Midnight Set ~ DCS w/ Cherry Replica Font
Post by: Matt3o on Fri, 04 July 2014, 01:46:33
I sent the renders to SP, but they haven't updated the GB yet. I'll ping them on Monday.

Regarding Reddit, I'm not pushing my own work. If anyone is willing to, please feel free to do so.

Post by: Matt3o on Wed, 09 July 2014, 12:46:42
I agree. The cherry legends unfortunately missed some keys so there's a tooling fee in there. In fact as soon as you reach a decent tier the set is reasonably priced ($70 at 50 tier for the mods, that we will hardly reaching).

It's all the newbs thinking that the price will drop further before they commit to buying it (reverse of Ebay).  Little do they know that EVERYONE who signs on will get that lower price when signing up whether a month ago or 2 minutes before it ends.

I hope this one gets done, because Matt3o's design work deserves far greater appreciation which I'm sure everyone will agree once they receive their key-sets  :thumb: .

SP should really implement a similar GB system like Massdrop where buyers can have a 'Commit' choice
where their 'purchase' counts towards tipping tiers, but are only forced to buy the product once the
product has actually tipped.

It really helps to garner earlier interest from these 'last-minute-type' buyers. The earlier a product tips, the greater
the chance of earning higher tiers.

It also gives a sort of interest check during the actual GB and many buyers are given a nice safety net to see
the status of buying progression for cheaper prices.

matt3o, you mentioned that you "made a big mistake adding 2 modifier options".  what did you mean by that and what would you change for the SA run?

The modifier orders were split between the midnight and twilight options.  It's possible that, with only one modifier option, the modifier would have been more likely to hit 50 orders, which would have triggered a price break (I think it was around $20), which in turn may have attracted even more customers to the buy.

SA won't have twilight mods I guess... but it will depend on how I like the midnight dsc twilights :D

Yeah, a "commit to buy" system would have helped so much with this GB!

I still don't understand these last minute buyers. Matt3o, me and a couple of others mentioned countless times that it doesn't make any sense at all to wait with an order.

By waiting they didn't save a single cent, but actually endangered the succes of this GB...

I was one of the last minute orders.   It was not because I wanted save a few dollars but because this set would be useless to me without a Tsangan kit.  Until the last minute when Matt3o talked SP into producing the entire set regardless the MOQ, both Tsangans had like 5 orders.  I wasn't going to put it my order because it was pretty obvious Tsangans weren't getting made at that point.  I didn't wanna get stuck with just the base + mod. 

Thankfully, Matt3o convinced SP to produce everything so I bit the bullet and placed my order.  It was very expensive especially for a SP made set, but  I hope it's worth it.

The only two keys that I would really like from the twilight mods is the Esc and Enter to give the set a bit of highlight.

Really sad i had to skip this even though i originally said i would join it. Other group buys i signed up before this one started drained my funds and even though this did make MOQ it was still rather expensive if i wanted to put it on an odd layout. The same feeling happened with Toxic i had to skip because of lack of funds until the next month.  :'(

Congrats though to those who got in on this :)

I grabbed extra alphas/mods to reinvigorate the GB, but couldn't afford to get more additional mods/numpad.  Will have extras for both twilight and midnight variants

Same for me.   Even though I voted for DSA if the sale would have lasted until the end of the month I would have definitely ordered a set.

My only gripe with the set is that the glow in the dark keys don't glow much at all.


Sexy set.. love the teal!  :cool:

the jelly is real, this is like the best color scheme

The reason i didn't join is because i wasn't going to get yet another DCS set i wont use (ergodox user) and this was rather expensive compared to other sets.

Looks wild, trizkut. Nice pics.

Speaking of Twilight, I'm looking for a turquoise/Twilight Esc key if anyone has a spare. Can offer cash/PayPal or I have spare keys from the Midnight additional mods kit that I don't need for trade -- the only key that I used from it was the 1u backspace. I realize there weren't many of these kits made...  :-[

I could probably part with my Esc.  Any chance you'd part with one of your 1u wolves from your additional mods pack?  I'd love to have one for my numpad 0.  Wouldn't mind trading my 1u mod Twilight wolf for your Midnight one either!

Thanks.  I'm not using the 1u wolves from that kit and you're welcome to them, but keep in mind they are Row 4 profile.

Edit: I see what you mean now with the numpad.  Shoot me a PM if you want to trade.

I don't know why my phone insists on changing the color of my desk from cherry to walnut.  I did some color correction in Photoshop but these don't come close to fairly representing the caps.  I'll snap some better pics this weekend with a proper camera.
