Signature Plastics SA family R1-R1-R2-R3-R4-R4
Doubleshot keyset
Semi matte finish
Key set will be made with new Army font for almost every key, currently there are about 140 new legends and might be a little bit more if we have enough fund to do so since I still have a lot of ideas with it.
I've succesfully raised ~$3,000 thanks to generous donors from my Valentine GB. Around $4000 more to go, so don't be shy and DONATE, soldiers! Your act will be remembered forever in the glorious history of the Key cap evolution!!
If you think any key should be available in the Group Buy just give me a note.

GB thread is awaiting approval now.
And about the Red Alert kit, it got removed due to high cost and I was really sad. But I'm now talking with a certain artisan about my ideas to see whether or not he can help me to make it happen... So let's wait and see. I will keep you guys updated.
Thank you!!

8.5 - CS kit - Pad printed SHIFT, CTRL and Spacebar - $15
I could provide pack of 3 pad-printed legends on the existing keycaps in your order at the price of $15 ($5 each legend). Legends will be printed in the front of the key cap.
If you want the pad-printed legends on extra keys, the price should be $5 per legend + $4 for each extra blank or $6 / $8 for each extra mod / spacebar. So basically you can have it printed on any key you want, just give me a note for specification.
Please pick one option for the best color & the best position of the legend.

Hello there folks.
It's been a while. I just finished this recently and hope you like it:
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/zxDjo0dQmuxpnmXOmvtm7D0dSKamimDg155odOp94hh3Q7gbAh11L5L_hCnpMh2c5MWcMmOexQ)

The keyset will be made in SA family, row profile (1-1-2-3-4-4?), double-shot molding.
There are few kits still under process and I will finish it and post it up later.
As you can see in the mockups above, I want to use new Army legends for almost everything. That was what I wanted to do to the 23 Commando keyset but it was impossible back then. Just successfully complete the run was hard enough. It (the $50 each new legend fee) is still an issue now (>110 new legends) but I think we can manage to resolve the problem with enough support from everyone.
I will start by collecting your thoughts via this Google form here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1D40e4FlZ8HIFdnojHlAbO-SjIuExq4tLwghwzCCPByA/viewform (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1D40e4FlZ8HIFdnojHlAbO-SjIuExq4tLwghwzCCPByA/viewform)
The prices of the kits will be added some $ to cover % of the legend fee and I'm sill calculating it to get the appropriate solution. It's not set yet. Based on the responses I will come up with the final prices.
It's not a blind run since you can have a look at my previous run for the actual colors : https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=45655.0 (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=45655.0)
Leave me some comments please.
Thank you in advance!

2 days have passed and I got >40 tkl kits, 30 upgrade kits and 25 numpad kits registered... and of course there're many suggestions as well. It's promising. Thanks everyone for your input.
I know there are people who haven't filled the form yet, so please give me a minute filling the form in the #1 post and let me know your opinions about the prices, the contents of kits and such... I want to know about how many of you will take the set when the run is live, so that I might provide a better solution. The more people joining and donation => the more legends will be made & more kits will be present.
The images in #1 post are mockups. I will have a proper one made after I have every legend done.
I also think the legends of the number row "`123..." should be a tad bigger.
The legends of alphas should be as large as the "WASD" in 23 Commando keyset gamer kit & upgrade kit 2. Legends of modifiers should be as large as the "ESC" key of the same kit.

Other color combinations are great and I'm open to any suggestion, but let's save it for future projects after this set made with the new font. I really want to complete the Commando set first.
I heard that there would be a Filco Camou sale next August in my country. Don't know if there is any sale elsewhere so maybe you might want to ask around if you don't have a Camou board yet.

Good to see you back here jil_jil32, if you want to run this through Massdrop now since most newbs are happy to allow MD to do all the collection and key-cap manufacture.
Shall save you time in gathering all monies and organizing the manufacture on your own. You know what it's like when something goes wrong, massive claims and arguments about a Group Buy that fails. Just saying protect yourself and put customers first by providing a safe way for them to buy what they desire without losing all their money.
Not trying to be a spruiker for MassDrop but if anything goes wrong, they can wear the complaints and failures due to providing everyone full up-front refunds, if anything should go wrong.
This is nice, I'm sucker for green & have yet to get a mainly green themed keycap set, hopefully, this will be the one!
I made a quick mockup for the "All Green" version. How about it? :cool:

I don't like this one. Old one is better for me
