thanks!

unfortunately I believe they wouldn't be readable once reduces at keycap size. Anyway I may try to ask.

bianco · « **Reply #101 on:** Mon, 06 January 2014, 03:15:36 »

those look much better than the one i was trying to do.
well done.

Matt3o · « **Reply #102 on:** Mon, 06 January 2014, 04:03:13 »

they are really too small... I don't know, the risk of ending up with 3 ****ty keys is high... what do you think?

JayKthnx · « **Reply #103 on:** Mon, 06 January 2014, 04:14:23 »

You'd need to not use the white stroke portion for the keys. I'll pm you the images standalone so you can try them. The stroke is good for emphasis, but drowns out the detail.

Matt3o · « **Reply #105 on:** Mon, 06 January 2014, 05:28:38 »

indeed I don't like them.

JayKthnx · « **Reply #106 on:** Mon, 06 January 2014, 06:16:00 »

A simple check for clarity would be to print them out actual size. If a household printer can produce the images clearly, I'd certainly hope sp is capable of delivering at least equal quality. Either way, I'm pleased with the images, "BFG" style, or wording like you have had from the start. Hope this GB can start soon.

Matt3o · « **Reply #107 on:** Mon, 06 January 2014, 06:22:27 »

the images are not printed but double-shot!

that's why the image must be very simple

And the image should be single color, to be molded with one color of plastic on the color base of the key.

JayKthnx · « **Reply #109 on:** Mon, 06 January 2014, 19:00:22 »

Forgot these would be double shot.

Any updates from sp? Really looking forward to the gb

Matt3o · « **Reply #111 on:** Thu, 09 January 2014, 02:25:43 »

this keyset is part of a super secret project that will start soon. I can'd say more for now, but it will probably start in the second half of Jan.

I think we all are, but SP is kind of slow this time of year being that it's still technically the holiday-period in the United States. Just need to have patience when everything goes back to normal business hours.

Matt3o is again making something unique here that should stand up high against his early effort the "DSA Retro Set" last year. Nice one

I've added a "boring joe" set and merged the two black sets.

Later today I'll work on the 3 mode keys.

As long as I'll be able to order a full set of caps, I'll be happy. Lol

No more black accent keys for us 60%ers, or am I just blind?

it'd be similar to the numpad for cherry g80-1800 series
although i'm planning to use it for my planned lightsaver/saber project

Enter key suffers a lot of wear. It may be worth to include a second one as spare part. What do you think?

I'll add spares for spacebars, I may add the enter key as well

I have never heard of this show, but I really like the color scheme!

Depending on the price this could be might first DSA set. Have to try this profile eventually

It has all the looks of a Japanese Cartoon shown on Saturday mornings. Not bad if you're into futuristic robots, vehicles and creatures (only guessing here).

Matt3o · « **Reply #130 on:** Mon, 13 January 2014, 11:59:26 »

Okay, hope this might be it.

I'll add spare spacebars.

JaccoW · « **Reply #137 on:** Mon, 20 January 2014, 17:23:43 »

I just mentioned this in your midnight set as well but;

Can I suggest adding 4 additional caps for people with separate numpads?

Like an Esc-row;
Esc, Tab, Backspace, and a random key with the logo of the set.
Even blanks is fine.

Such as in Goldtouch or Leopold.

What about extra deep dish keys for Dvorak and Colemak, a la DSA Retro? Four extra keys, two extra layouts!

Matt3o · « **Reply #142 on:** Thu, 23 January 2014, 10:01:39 »

not deep dish versions are included and could be used for less common layouts, I might add more deep dishes if there's really interest.

Matt, this set concept as well as the BoB PBT with sublimated legends are awesome. Very likely some of the best out there. This because of the colors, and profile, and the other because of the material. I hope both begin soon. Well not that soon just to allow my wallet to get warmed

.

Just double checking: Macross will be ABS w/ DS legends and the BoB will be PBT w/ sublimated ones, both in DSA profile, right?

There is always a good choice with Matt3o's Group Buys

. You will never be disappointed.

ideus · « **Reply #149 on:** Wed, 29 January 2014, 21:44:22 »

I hope these two group buy do well. Both sets will be unique and they will cover most of the common layout options for cherry based boards.

Matt: Could you consider to add to the BoB a second 2.25x shift key? Sorry if this comment is out of place, and that it should be moved to the corresponding thread. I do not want to cause any confusion.

And also I wonder if the two 1x keys in the ISO set should be labeled with the appropriate UK legends. I know other languages are different, but I think ISO users may benefit of having some references in these two keys. Also the backslash key will fit most of ISO based languages.
