It is great the OP has stopped being dormant in this thread.
Since now it's shipping phase, there is very little I could do.
I respect your freedom of speech, but many of your opions and words were pretty off. I don't think it would make much sense to do oral wrestle with you. I have my life to live. I don't have to debate my GB with you all day. But you repeated posts had hijacked this thread so I think it's time to clear the thread a bit to make sure those customers who have related questions/comments could be heard.
Does this make sense to you?
Because I expect the products to be like OP's own renders, including the font style and font size.
...
My communication here aims at trying to raise awareness to details MK consumers should pay attention to in order to keep up the production quality in the future.
As we all know, renders are for illustration purposes. They don't match 100% to the product. Some vendor usually puts statements on the sale webpage, like
IMAGE DISCLAIMER
Images are of 3D renders and are for illustration purposes only. The final product may differ slightly.
Some venders don't do that. But we all know products will not be 100% loyal to renders.
Symbiosis R2 used the font Gotham Rounded in both 2D and 3D renders. The shape of legend 3 in Gotham Rounded is slightly different from SP's real product. It's commonly used in keyset rendering. You could see this happened in many other keyset GBs. It's not a production quality issue. If that become a problem according to your standard, you should raise awareness and post in many other GB pages too.
BTW, there are small differences between 2D and 3D renders too. And the sizes of legends in 3D render are bigger than what's in 2D renders because they were done by different people in different time. Some legends were revised slightly. Some mistake in 3D renders too. You should notice these before buying if you're so picky as now for these details. We could talk all day about these details, but it won't help much now in the shipping phase.
You have been professional in your communication in IC and in GB, and you might misunderstand that the word "sloppy" was to imply you, no it shouldn't. At the most, I could only say those who QC this Run is careless.
I don't know what to say. Because I'm the designer and the one who did the QC, as which happens typically in this customized keyset business. I guess you already know that, so I'm confused what you tried to express.
however, I also have already assumed someone who dares to take the daunting task of running a GB of Space Cadet design keycap be able to create all the necessary legend files, even for every keycap if needed, in order to create what the renders have promised.
This is what I put totally trust into, and felt disappointed.
Symbiosis R2 would reuse SP's publicly accessible legends of number row, NorDE layout, Mod etc. I planned to do so and I created all necessary files for this goal. Not all these details in the GB page, but I didn't intensionally hide these information to cheat people to buy. Not many people ask this during the IC/GB, and I was frankly open to response that. Besides I post pictures for legends samples many times along these months. All these informations are public all along. We did what we planned to do. I don't think it's a quality issue.
I'm sorry Symbiosis R2 didn't fullfill your assumption. Everything is settled at this point. If you want to get rip of what you bought, I suggest a refund from your vendor, or selling in mechmarket. Pretty sure you could get your money back anyway.
Of course no analogy is perfect (it was more trying to relate to how some users tried to defend Kailh's keycap cracking erroneous switch stem dimension, more about their attitude - they totally non-critical attitude will not help quality of projects progress the way they should).
IMO, your analogy was bad. Even worse with Kailh's examples. You should think twice before using them. Kailh planned to make switches that have solid industry standards but the output products failed the standards so that caused the cracking. That's a quality issue. But we are talking legend preference for a keyset here.
I'm open with comments, suggestions and criticism, as I did during IC/GB in the past. But many of your words are wrong, even bizzard to some degree. And I smell the sense of superiority as usual from guys who has/prefers 7bit's productions. For example,
I also have already assumed someone who dares to take the daunting task of running a GB of Space Cadet design keycap be able to create all the necessary legend files, even for every keycap if needed
I did dare to create a space-cadet inspired keyset, and created the necessary files as I planned. It's not daunting at all - any other designer could create keysets inspired by space-cadet, at whatever profile, from whatever manufacturer or in whatever style/legend/size they like. I'm sorry if you don't like Symbiosis R2. You made you point already. Please stop trolling with your preference on 7bit this and 7bit that along this thread.
It doesn't make much sense to start a jihad among you, me and other customers here, fighting for the superiority of 7bit's products or Symbiosis R2. The superiority, it doesn't exist. It's just preference. For pilgrims, there are too many roads lead to the shrine.
