Just like the title of the thread says.
If you have ideas for keys, website ideas, or feedback from orders put them here!
-
Sent a message to you with pic yesterday. I like the vintage cherry function row in orange.
Would also help with legend costs.
Less novelty, more classic reproduction :)

those would be amazing if they were thick and squared-edged. maybe imsto can do those with PBT?
-
I would like to suggest that the emails that you're sending to be a bit more colorful... Just would make me want to be a bit of more of a customer. Granted, you know how much money that I have... heh.

Thanks for the suggestion -
I'll take a shot at changing it up for the next one.

Any one of the following would be shway ;D

Thanks, DanGWanG. And for everyone's viewing pleasure, image from QWERkeys FB is here:

SP wont make those because it is a copyright infringement. It appears QWERkeys doesn't mind taking that risk and is making them.

Got a link?

I don't see it for sale on their site, but you can reach out in the QWERkey vendor forum.
In the meantime check out some keys at techkeys.us and sign up for updates :)

I would like to see some white PBT white engraved Poker sets. All I can find right now are blank one or white with grey/black lettering.
edit: Would also like to see some custom backspace designs.
-
I have a dream of a double shot white text on black ANSI Enter key that says "sure, why not?"
-
haha, funny. Also "what could go wrong?" :))
-

Heh, locally and immediately relevant...
I'd be down for "How hard can it be?"

I would also really like glow-in-the-dark keys. Just plain, I think, would be nice.

Seen them somewhere before, but they didn't strike me as particularly easy to get hold of.

I'd be up for"how hard can it be?" on a space bar.
Following up with "Very hard" on back space.

i'd be interested in some different lebowski keys please. not sure where i've seen the walter one you have but it reminded me of this

I saw the Mario and Luigi keycaps that go over the M and L keys and it made me think of the Honda and Acura logos for H and A.

Like like suggestion, but those are copyrighted logos.
-
Are the Mario/Luigi ones not? (Just curious. I know you have to protect your business)
-
The Mario and Luigi are simply an M and an L in a circle. It may still be in a grey area of intellectual property, but its not a trademarked logo as far as I know.

oy! what do you think of my post above?

would be super awesome if you made a smaller ISO left shift key and |\ key in similar colours as you do for your stepped caps lock key :P
-
I think a 1.75 right shift or even complete tsangan kit that matches the capslock would be great too.
-
I would like to see another group buy of center stemmed stepped caps lock keys. White on black, black on black, translucent lettering on black (hell yeah!) etc.etc. I am willing to help out in part, or in full, with the capitol required to make it happen. I would also be more than willing to pre-order if that scenario works better.
-
Who is ready for some new keys?

Me
-
I AM I AM! Send dat email! :D
-
I am very exited about this next release and so was SP: "Lots of compliments from the production floor- good job!"

Dat tease... :3

That's just an unfair tease, don't torture us please. :p

Keep teasing! I love it

Blank, center-stemmed, stepped caps lock? May sell being more universal? I would buy a couple...

i3oilermaker, thank you!!!! I probably ordered more than I needed and less than I wanted :))

Ever decide anything with that Wario key?
-
Some ideas i have had.
Doing doubleshots of the Ducky Function Keys. F1-F7 with the Multimedia icons as the second legend. (e.g. mute under F1, Play/Pause under F4)

Still Hoping to do it! No ETA right now.
-
In regard to this (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=40393.0) thread...
How about a full GITD (or translucent on black) DS keyset for backlit keyboards (Pure, Race, Shine...)?
-
I thought it would be cool if we could get a set like the January set, but inverted (clear text, regular colored exterior). Why? NO CLUE! Awesome? Hell yes!
-
Any chance of getting a 7, 8, 9, 0 set of those Vegas keys? I don't know if 0 would have a "0" or nothing on it and I don't really care. Would just love to be able to all the number keys. I don't think I would be happy with just 1-6 while leaving 7-0 looking so bland.
The patterns could be like that of double 9 dominoes but with that really sweet white on clear red.
(http://i.imgur.com/PuvTbTGl.jpg)
P.S. I posted this in the Feb. Geek Hack key thread and it was suggested I repost it here if I actually wanted you to see it.
An alpha+symbol keys set in the style of January would also be cool. I just like how raw they look.
-
Dominoes would look great for modifier keys like shift, enter, and backspace.
-
I'd like to see glow in the dark inside clear.
Additionally/separately if possible tint the clear to match, so it's stealth unless lit up by a black light / UV led.
-
I like the idea, but the contrast would be poor (like the GH Jan keys) and the entire 1st shot would glow, not just the legend, so it would be hard to distinguish what is the legend and what is the remainder of the first shot.
-
Hey Brad! Is there a way you could implement a "View cart" feature? I always do a once over pass throughout your site to make sure I got everything I wanted but have to add something to the cart to see the cart.
-
hmmm that is a good suggestion....I'm struggling with where to put it....
I'm hoping to do a site re-design in the next couple months to address a lot of my frustrations with this site.

suggestion requiring Brobot keycap as ESC
Then have your standard GeekHack keycap as F1
and follow up with LOL OUT! spelled out from F2 to F8 keys.
-
dafuq are you talking about?
-
Posted this in another thread, but classic/vintage/arcade/video game keys seem like an easy idea. There are Pac-Man keys in "ZOMG Imsto Dyesub Group Buy" but that leaves Donkey Kong, Galaga, Asteroids, Space Invaders, Tempest, Asteroids, Frogger, Dig Dug, Joust, Qbert, Centipede etc.
Seems like there would be lots of simple graphics to use since the technology restricted game elements to small simple abstract things.

Boilermaker, I want you to make me a set of Retro Sci-Fi keycaps, based upon this set:
http://talent.adweek.com/gallery/Space-Ray-Gun-Vector-Set-Free-Download/4524187
It's free, and mostly rayguns, which is fine. I would be willing to put a row of alien-obliterating raygun keycaps in place of Function keys.
Here's part of the collection:
[attachimg=1]
Do it, please. :)
Unsure if it could be double-shot (perhaps too fine lines) but perhaps dyesub?
Edit: the one on the far right is the one I want made most of all. Tilt it clockwise a bit, to give it a jaunty look.
Edit 2: Maybe give it a G and H to either side, and pair with a key that says, "DIE ALIEN DIE" stacked.
-
Those are cool!
Definitely too much detail for a double shot, but could work as a dyesub. Drawback to dyesubs is they are pretty expensive.
If you want to start an interest check I would be happy to run a GB if the interest is there.

Gutted I missed that - still must order my April GH key actually...
Edit: Aaaargh - just been on the site and I've missed that too!!!

i nearly had these made myself but i didnt wanna step on any toes, but and inverted color hapster with a sad face drawn in the same style called the grumpster
-
If you made them they would be called the Bunsters

but if grumsters ever happen i shotgun one, i missed out on the whole hapster club despite my best efforts

New IC thread pending approval. I threw all twelve rayguns onto keycap vectors to see how they might look. I picture an atomic rendering (with orbits), a robot head, pinup pose, bubble space helmet, bug-eyed alien, etc.

I'm pretty sure there were some PacMan keys made in China a while back.
I saw some on Taobao the other night, engraved and painted, not dyesub though. There were also some interesting Michael Jackson key caps.
-
I know its probably not possible but it would be awesome if when adding something to your cart on techkeys it reserved that item for say 15 minutes while you waited to checkout. I know some places do this but I don't know what costs are involved on the software/programming/pos system etc.

Give me a chance to get Wyse tsangan kit again,
I missed it ;(

retro set in dark grey please!!!

Couple things I'd like to see personally:
1. The Poker 'suite' modifiers in black and red with white legends. The current silver set doesn't do it for me.
2. What about selling keycap sets for Poker and Pure? Blank white and blank black PBT should be popular... just sell a poker set and a 'pure mod' that includes the tiny shift key and an extra 1x1 as a $2 add on. If you can sell blank whites (60% poker layout) and beat the current deal Signature plastics has ($37 for 87 PBT keys), I'd be on it.
Us 60% owners dont need those extra keys and we don't like paying for them either :D

Would definitely be interested in these as well, seen them around and they look great. Cheers

Where did the inspiration for making it come from, if you don't mind my asking?

blue version of vegas dice
1-12 roman numerals for f keys(well I-XII) backlit or non
golf ball with a bunch of dimples love to have it for my esc key
-
I would love to see some white switch stickers!

Here's an idea for two keys:
A 'grue' key: Just a black key, doubleshot, with two eyes and perhaps a bit of a smile. You should all know what a grue (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grue_%28monster%29) is, if not, for shame.
And, of course, a 'Z' for 'Zork':
[attachimg=1][attachimg=2][attachimg=3]
UV printing for the stone-masonry 'Z' or maybe use the more simple, but more stylized 'Z'?

Any chance of doing discounts for larger quantities of clear switch covers?
-
I typically offer price breaks (when asked) on orders that are larger than a standard volume.
PM me if you are interested in placing a bulk order.
-
Aww shoot, looks like I waited too long :[
When will clear switch covers come back in stock?

I already made a thread so it would be more visible, but thought I would also post it here since this is the Suggestion Box.
Please re-stock the laminated GH keycap mats.

Man - those were great but they were a major pain to ship. I ended up using a giant bubble mailer, but there were so many issues of them either being crammed into mailboxes and damaged or people damaging them when cutting the bubble mailer open.
By the time I add in all the extra cost for shipping with postage rates what they are, I don't think they would be a good value.

I know I personally wouldn't mind paying for the extra shipping/postage.
There isn't anywhere close to me that I can find to print/laminate for me. Fedex bought Kinkos.

Mine is fairly stiff - it would need to be a reasonably large tube mailer, which might push the price up a bit.
Plus you'd have to hope it would unfurl once unpackaged.
-
How about one of those thin and wide boxes? I got my switches shipped that way, seems perfect for something like this.
-
you can make a high quality print and lamination at most FedEx/Kinkos... I think this is a good idea for a boxed set, but on its own it's a drain of resources unless the cost is drastically inflated.
