[IC] Carbon Keyset

[T0mb3ry]

Thats right the title of the poll is misleading. Anyway if you want you can vote but people must be informed about that missleading title. ps. It wasnt me who made this poll i found it just.

It's been changed

[Oobly]

How about using the /r/mk-cap mold from Pulse SA?

That would reduce the price for the novelty kit slightly.

If that's not a "community" mold then SP might not let anyone use it without permission from MiTo... who kinda disappeared.  I know that he designed a lot of custom legends for that group buy.  Like pretty much everything in that kit.

Plus it's the wrong row profile anyway.

Legends are profile row-agnostic, they can be used on any row. So if you get permission from MiTo, you can use that on any row you like.

Started a Poll for the Carbon Child Deals at MassDrop: https://www.massdrop.com/vote/carbon-keyset-sa-profile
Please vote i need it for the Evaluation. Thank you!

[ccarlitos2]

Just voted. Orange Alphas FTW!!!!!

[UTEster750]

So pumped! Just voted.

[64rky]

ORANGE!!!!!

Voted!

[T0mb3ry]

Hey thanks for the support guys! Right now i got a lot of work todo, you know Carbon Group Buy is scheduled for like mid August (if everything goes well). So stay tuned!

And it limits you to three choices.

If you want more useful information about relative interest of each child deal, I would suggest creating a Google form or something to collect interest.

E: wow that's a lot of interest! If you're thinking about running the buy through Massdrop, I'd get in touch with them and see if Carbon can be run in a way similar to how MiTo DCS is being run right now -- it seems like the kits need a bit of unique work on Massdrop's end, so probably better to open that line of communication sooner rather than later.

Even if MassDrop allows only three votes it gives us better overview. I know there also people who want to buy almost every child deal. So i keep it short, every child deal will be available if it drops. What we did is splitting the novelties into 3 separate child deals (Novelties, Warning Signs and Forum kits). Warning Sings include Lambda key. Novelies only Carbon keys and Forum kit speaks for its self I hope this give you more room for decisions.

Besides that i am already in touch with MassDrop officials since the poll has been started. Basically there are no concerns about the child deals, so they stay as they are right now. Besides Novelties but i mentioned the changes already.

While you and me (i for myself got some stuff todo until the actual drop) are waiting, i'd like to show you some guide renderers for basic Carbon configurations. So there will be some more renderers after all.

[Oobly]

Beautiful!

I want this set on ALL my keyboards... can't wait for it to become available. Those orange alphas....

[wlhlm]

Those mockups look amazing!

SA profile

GMK GMK GMK GMK GMK

Its a SA profile so the manufacturer can only be Signature Plastics. Have you tried SA profile already? From my subjective view they feel the best. I own DCS pbt from ducky and vortex also Deep Space DSA Profile and they do not come close to the typing feel of SA Profile. But that is just my personal opinion

My bad, missed where it said SA profile, thought Cherry profile was on the table. I have the hackd by geeks set, so this might be a little duplicative...

Isn't Hack'd just SA row 3 or is it full profile? This is going to be full profile so it wouldn't be repetitive

Hack'd is 3-1-2-3-4-3, this is 1-1-2-3-4-4.

IMO, what makes this stand out from Hack'd is the novelty keys, and the incorporation of brighter alphas. Definitely in the same colour family as hack'd, and probably will be appealing to a similar group, but I think there's enough in Carbon to make it different.

It's kind of like if Penumbra and Hack'd had a baby with the best genes from both

Ah I didn't know that about Hack'd thank you for informing me!!! I'm so down for this set...

[T0mb3ry]

Ok i got more guide renders for you guys. You will admit there are some changes to novelties. As is said those are splitted. The only missing here in renders is the Forum keys.







Also some Ortholinear Art

[livingspeedbump]

so excited for this!

[T0mb3ry]

Ohhh boy me too

[UTEster750]

Will the white 2u key with the hexagons be available in the novelty set, or just in planck?

[T0mb3ry]

Will the white 2u key with the hexagons be available in the novelty set, or just in planck?

Its only planck/atomic kit. Actually the novelty kit contains similar key for enter but its not 2u size.

Ok that will still be cool!

Forgot to mention those Enter keys are in grey and orange colors. So the white graphene 2u key is planck/atomic exclusive.

ETA never?

Wait for the Drop

[T0mb3ry]

I'd like to share with you the announcement of Carbon on Keychatter.
The Child Deals showed on Keychatter are those you will see in the Drop.
The GB will start in the next "few" days.

R.I.P. PMK group buys.

R.I.P. PMK group buys.

This isn't a bad thing

Besides sets like this deserve a bit better I think. Carbon is a masterwork 

[user 18]

Hype!

Fingers crossed that there aren't any shipping issues like with TA.

[SpAmRaY]

Nah with SP you mainly have to worry about wrong legends and wrong profiles.

[wlhlm]

This isn't a bad thing

Shipping-wise, both are equally as bad for me, but I would've liked to see SP's new model kick off with such an awesome set. Especially the pre-production and in turn real life samples are interesting.

Missed chance for SP I guess, not sure what their new platform is doing. Would like some updates about it.

They have been very tight-lipped about it, including toward people who have a working relationship with them.  All I've heard is that is has been delayed well past their original release window.

[TastaturenAuslese]

Any chance of Cyrillic Alphas on this? :3 Would buy that + the Planck Kit if so.

[T0mb3ry]

I think its to late at this stage/phase to make changes. But depending on how the drop goes out (say it will do well), i will continue developing of Carbon. In this case i already thought of cyrillic alphas. Question is do SP has legendmolds for cyrillic? If not that will be very expensive. As far as i know each new Legendmold costs around 75$.

I see! That makes sense. I know they're doing a cyrillic for the MiTo DSA set, but they're Dye-subing that.

I can look into that. I honestly need to just ask for a heaping list of what molds they have just to know for development anyways. I can post publicly if i get a good answer.

[xmrxx]

too bad we will never see CROATIAN/SLOVENIAN/SERBIAN/BOSNIAN / Layout  ( they are all same ) , i am sure people from these countries are also willing to pay for that.
here is an example. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2e/KB_Slovene.svg/420px-KB_Slovene.svg.png

[T0mb3ry]

Right now its late to make any changes. I'll look into it for the next round.

[yobinad]

There will be a 2nd round of Carbon?

[T0mb3ry]

There will be a 2nd round of Carbon?

No. But depending on how first round goes i might consider second round. In this case i will continue developing Carbon. If not then its ok. So i do not promise anything. Literally i do not promise!

[T0mb3ry]

In case someone is interested in round two happening. Know this i am also interested in it. But first things first. Round one doesnt even started. I cant see into the future. I dont know how well or bad it will sell. After people get their keyset i also would like to know opinions of owners and their critic. If they are going to be happy with it or not. After all these things had hapened, i will then decide if Carbon deserves the round 2.

You know people are liking just the mockups. I would like to see the real product first and hear that people will say about it. I am just trying to stay realistically.
