(GB) PENUMBRA SA KEYSET(shipping)

[mooswa]

I am thinking of two ergodoxes - one for work and one for home.

[Binge]

I'd be in for an ergodox set IF and only IF enough people joined to make this possible.

[jefferai]

I'd be in for an ergodox set IF and only IF enough people joined to make this possible.

It's already possible, it just depends on your price sensitivity.

[MOZ]

I'd definitely be in at the 25 set price point. Maybe we can reach those numbers, we reached 50 set price point on Calm Depths.

[BunnyLake]

well hopefully some more people step forward, and we can get this done for everyone, i guess i will leave it 48 hours or so for the word to get out and to drum up orders, if anyone would like to get in on the dox kit but needs to order the base or alphas kit to go with it, ill allow that too to help push this along, i just cant leave this running indefinitely as it wouldnt be fair to everyone else, but lets see where we stand in 48 hours, if we are close to another price break i can make up the difference or leave it running a little longer

[zflamewing]

I'd be in for a set at the 25 set price point.  I'll sort out getting the keyboard for it later lol.

[cruk]

Will i still be able to buy the base set if I am interested in the ergo kit? (at 25 price point)

[cultofjosh]

Here are some complete ergodox keyboard mockups. I am not pasting images in here because I don't want people scanning the page to think the alphas are included with the ergo kit.

Roy G Biv with YCC alphas (ones from base set)

Roy G Biv with WCK alphas (the lighter colored alpha set)
http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/#/layouts/3efbb68d84f3f681a2ee14cb70f8006a

I also mocked up mooswa's #3 as there hasn't been a vote.

Mooswa's mockup #3 w corrected legend and base alphas

And for completeness, mooswa's mockup #3 with the light alphas
http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/#/layouts/0aaa53082ed884b7e0f23f6795be2f02

Let me know if I made any goofs.

[mooswa]

I prefer the Roy G Biv version, since it is compatible with both YCC and  WCK alphas.

[kektr0city]

Now that this has shaken out, I'd definitely be in for an alpha kit and an ergodox kit. Also, with your permission bunny, I or someone else should post a link to the gb in the ergodox discussion boards on mass drop. It might help with getting more orders.

[cookiesowns]

If ergo dox hits 25 or 50, there's a possibility I'll go in on this.

[BunnyLake]

roy g biv it is

i have opened up the orders for a couple days until this is all squared out and so dox users can order the base or alphas etc

so this doesnt all get lost and so i can get some numbers together, if you would like to order an ergodox kit, please pm me, please only pm me if you are serious about buying one, i think a fair assumption is the pricepoint will be either 10 or 25, if you are not comfortable with either of those price points, i think it is fair to say you may end up disappointed

once again, i wanna get this sorted sooner rather than later, i saw people mentioning they wanted to spread the word to other dox users, that is of course fine, as i said, i opened up the main buy again for a couple days so people could join, but now is the time to do that, i want this all wrapped up by the weekend

thanks for everyones input, you guys are making this happen for yourselves, so lets get this done together

[zflamewing]

PMed you and picked up the solarized Alphas since my lovely wife is getting me the base set and number pad for Christmas.  Now to worry about getting the ErgoDox keyboard hehe.

[jefferai]

I did already post on the MassDrop board but feel free to do so again. I doubt many people are checking it regularly.

[Game Theory]

Bunny has the patience of a saint....

Agreed!

[mooswa]

Would it be also ok to post on the main ergodox thread?  I am not sure what is the etiquette around here.  Probably not, since it is crossing to another subforum?

http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=22780.3030;topicseen

[kektr0city]

Do it dude, can't hurt.

[swill]

I have always like my editors to have a white background and standard syntax highlighting.  Because I bought this set, I decided to give solarized a try.  I have to say, its pretty awesome... 

Some sample code...


Edit: This is the code I am working on today.  Automatically configuring a NetScaler after auto discovering all of the web servers in the network.

[mooswa]

There is also a light bacgkround mode - which, as I understood, is just inverse, but it looks as awesome.  And that is the beauty of the solarized.



I use both quite often - day and night modes basically.

[Air tree]

Hmm, on second thought good luck with it anyways.

I might look for a different set to be honest.

Ya I tried the light first.  I found that I was straining to read stuff because there was not enough contrast.  I am enjoying the dark though...

[mooswa]

For more contrast, you can try a second, darker content colour from solarized pallete: 586E75

[TravisW]

Edit: Good news, BunnyLake has confirmed the 25-set price point ($33.90 each) for the Dox set:

ok guys

good news

i am now guaranteeing the 25 price point on the dox kits

He's also added the Dox kit to ctrlaltgroupbuy.com order page: http://ctrlaltgroupbuy.com/buys/penumbra-solarized

Finally, he requests

i will soon be popping the dox kit on the site with the rest of the penumbra stuff, what im gonna do is set the deadline to sunday night, if when you order, you could all pop your order number of whatever else you ordered in the notes section, that would help me a ton, and ill deduct the shipping charges from all the dox orders as it gets added automatically

ill post here once it is up

glad we could get it sorted for you guys

[StylinGreymon]

FYI: Here's where we are with the Ergodox kits (as far as people who have posted here, at least). As of this writing, we're down for three sets, 7 committed if we reach 10, and 12 committed if we reach 25; cultofjosh has generously agreed to cover the cost for the legends provided we reach 10)

Sets
cultofjosh, slalomskier, kektr0city

Additional sets if >=10 (NB cultofjosh will cover $100 for legends at this level)
cultofjosh, slalomskier, mooswa, TravisW

Yet more sets if >=25
jefferai (maybe at lower price point too), slalomskier, mooswa, MOZ, zflamewing

If most of the people who have expressed interest are only committed if higher order numbers are reached, I wonder how that's supposed to happen.

[zflamewing]

I'm actually good with the 10+ price after reviewing the finances.  I'd rather see 25+ as I'm sure we all would but I'd rather see this happen then fail.  By my math that still puts us 2 shy of 10 mark.  We can do this.

[slalomsk8er]

If most of the people who have expressed interest are only committed if higher order numbers are reached, I wonder how that's supposed to happen.

Well if 25 commit to only by if >=25 is reached the buy will happen

In case anyone missed Bunny's post, he's running the numbers by the PMs he received.

so this doesnt all get lost and so i can get some numbers together, if you would like to order an ergodox kit, please pm me, please only pm me if you are serious about buying one, i think a fair assumption is the pricepoint will be either 10 or 25, if you are not comfortable with either of those price points, i think it is fair to say you may end up disappointed

[BunnyLake]

with some pms i have, we will certianly hit 10 guys, ill be surprised if we make 25 though

Not sure where you got your information from but I'm good at 10, not 25.

I recall your post said "almost certain" at 10, I simply didn't want to overstate your position, but I'll update the post accordingly.

thank you for doing this, makes my life much easier

Glad to help, thanks for running the GB for this great set. If I'm missing anyone, just PM the names (or just the counts of people I'm missing, if you think anyone would rather remain anonymous) and I'll update the count.

(Also, I just corrected the counts.)

That post was a bit back. When Bunny asked for PMs I told him I was in, period, no restrictions.  :-)

Good to know, and we're sitting at nine now.

This may sound stupid but I didn't find info anywhere, are these cherry mx caps?

[SpAmRaY]

This may sound stupid but I didn't find info anywhere, are these cherry mx caps?

what else would they be??

[jefferai]

Alps, for instance.

Well since we have never had an ALPS caps group buy (yet) I would say that is highly unlikely.

Also ergodox in title and the fact that SP SA profile caps are only for cherry mx should make it a moot point.

So simply put, yes these caps are for cherry mx, just like every other group buy here so far.

[chipchop]

Thanks. I'm not a keyboard expert, but I do love solarized

Point of interest but SP can do Alps stems, I'm pretty sure they can even do them on all three of their cap profiles. It's just no one's ever come up with the money / demand to make that happen.

Yeah, I figured the preface of "this may sound stupid" means he's a newbie that is just trying to figure it all out. I'm very close to that stage myself.

[asphodel]

I'm interested in an ergodox set at any price break.

[MythicalWagyu]

Bunny - stumbled upon this while heading to checkout for the Rain Drop GB and all sanity went out the window, I could not pass on these beautiful keys - many thanks for extending the deadline a few days! I think...    )

Order placed, will shoot you payment as soon as I see that invoice via PayPal; if it'll help you out to send payment in advance of the invoice just say the word; I still have the email with order total.

thanks very much

its fine sir on the payment thing, once we figure out this ergodox stuff, i will do the final invoices, so just pay as soon as you can after getting it

[balanar]

Are we still sitting at 10? I'd be in for 2 sets to help reach 25 if we at all close to that mark.
