"Troubled Minds."

Holy s**t, that's perfect. OP, I'm totally down.

I actually preferred "Double Trouble" as it's less serious, but "Troubled Minds" is very fitting :)

I chose mixed set in the poll when it was up before, but I wasn't thinking "mixed" meant PBT and ABS.  ABS is a fine profile to go with.  I'm typing on SP's DSA ABS keys now and they are far better than the stock ABS most times on any of my MX boards. 

Is there a need for us to update our poll answers?  I tried today but the poll said it was taken down by the OP.

There's no need to update the poll, especially since the only way to have multi-colored legends is through pad printing.

I love the Joker side of this set.  I like Eva too but I'm not feeling it as much on this one.  The "comic book" novelty legends really nailed it for me.

Yeah I need to improve the Eva kit, honestly it's been years since I first watched it and I'm kinda stumped with the novelties. I'll be focusing on the Eva kit, I've made some initial changes:

Show Image


I've updated the GH/Eva logo to follow the 0.02" limitation more accurately. I've moved the Unit 1 key to R4 to replace the Eva unit head for now, and replaced the words MAGI and MAGI 2 with an icon that represents the OS based on this image: http://ayay.co.uk/backgrounds/anime/neon_genesis_evangelion/magi-system-2b.jpg

I'll probably replace/remove the progressive knife.

Edit:
I'm thinking of using "Lose CTRL" in the Eva Kit, but in Japanese. However google translate came up with this "自制心を失います", I thought it would just be two characters.. heh.

"Double Trouble" is okay, but I like "Troubled Minds" as Evangelion is a pretty serious show, especially considering the show's motifs and Anno's battle against depression.
And as for Joker, we all know his take on seriousness in The Dark Knight.

Any way you can make any Hamill references on the board? He's my favorite Joker.

I'll have to see about that, but I'll be working on the Eva kit for now :)

Good thinking but man that's one long translated "lose control".  How about using just 1 word like control, lose or maybe forgotten (忘れ)?

Changes so far, there are two "Seele" keys as the original may be unfamiliar enough  that we can use it "as is".

Edit:
I don't think the joker face with all black color looks recognizable, the red grin is better. I'll have to find the perfect grin, I tried the cartoony ones with the teeth but the result was... not nice.

I think some of those symbols are a little too intricate for the mold. There is some rule about size/weight of characters.

Yep, 0.02", I just dish out initial ideas then adjust it to the limitation if I think it's worth working on :)

Yeah I tried that, maybe it was the reference I got wrong but it didn't work out too well. I didin't want to make it too cartoony, I wanted the more serious/gruesome Glasgow smile. Just doing the red lips with a wide grin looked "meh", but trying to add teeth made it "bleh".

I tried something similar to that, but the monochromatic red doesn't really translate well for me, red teeth and all. I'll try it again later with a different grin.

Just an update:

Looking fantabulous.

But I agree that, if the other mods are going to have red legends, the face should be red in uniform.

Your call, though. You've already got a sale from me!


Edit:
Not sure where you are with the IC, but I hope you keep the Eva interchangeability. The fact that I can have two sets in one is whack.
The good kind.

REALLY love this colour-way.

Always remember to keep it simple, stupid, because those key-sets that have a minimum of TWO colours last for ages on any keyboard but those key-sets that scream multiple colours, get tossed into the trash fairly quickly.

Hope this one goes into SP's molds soon and finally having Purple and Green, is so good on many levels....... he he he.

Sadly even if we were to push to a GB immediately it would still take awhile to get the caps since SP is flooded with SA sets. Hence why Danger Zone has an estimated delivery date of Feb 2, 2016 on Massdrop.

Point well taken, thanks! The base kit has all the clean and simple colors and I figured the novelty kits can each have an identity of their own. I will keep your advice in mind though! :)

Good point about the production queue, but better to start it now than later I guess!

Yeah from now on SP won't be able to make anything for this year at all.

This colour-way is strictly for next year, which would be better for timing of all shipments because you don't want to post anything around Christmas time.

Exactly, and hopefully by that time the design has been tweaked to almost perfection :)

I'll probably replace/remove the progressive knife.
Awe, I liked the knife too, the new keys look nice though. Maybe a little out of place though with the color difference.

Maybe don't get too crazy with the black keys. As old-man Elrick said: the fewer the colors, the better. I realize some black is used for Joker, but as for the actual caps it's a bit unfocused with the green, purple, and orange, and then clashing that with the black mods.

I was thinking which novelty I should drop to limit the number (and price), I didn't know anyone liked it and I have to round off the edges because 0.02".  It's easy enough to bring back, I got backup files :D

After thinking about the colors I guess I got a little (a lot) too carried away and will limit the colors, here's an idea for the HAHA key, not sure if going to the edges is possible/okay:

The Lance Of Longinus might be better than the knife as a backspace. 

Or if you want to take relevant text, one of the recent movies was called "You Can (Not) Advance" so (Not) Advance might make a decent replacement for backspace.

Wait, is he doing show or movie? Or both?

I've made one with the spearhead only since it's too long and I didn't like how it turned out because of the loss of detail, maybe I'll try again.

Both are pretty good. The one on the left makes me think he's giggling, while the one on the right makes me think he's bursting out laughing.

I think I'll go with the one on the right, since I'll have to round off the tips and corners of the old one and it won't have the same visual effect.

I'll probably replace/remove the progressive knife.
Awe, I liked the knife too, the new keys look nice though. Maybe a little out of place though with the color difference.

I was thinking which novelty I should drop to limit the number (and price), I didn't know anyone liked it and I have to round off the edges because 0.02".  It's easy enough to bring back, I got backup files :D

After thinking about the colors I guess I got a little (a lot) too carried away and will limit the colors, here's an idea for the HAHA key, not sure if going to the edges is possible/okay:

Show Image

Those both look nice, would be cool to get the knife back as well. With the off colors you can always do a child pack with out of theme colors for people who want to use them regardless of the color or on another sets, so don't scrap them just yet. I like the novelties and colors on some just clashes a bit with the current color scheme, would still buy them in a child pack to go on other sets.

I've gone back to the simplest colors for now, then decide which one needs to be changed. I kept the Magi icon since it kinda replaces the Win key, I've also returned the Eva head since it's his kit anyway. I might use an orange cap for the Unit 1 badge since it looked good earlier. Oh, and I returned the knife, I really thought nobody cared :D

Do these are looking dope. I'd love to buy a set from you when its done. Have you ever thought of creating a cap with the face of EVA-01 head bursting out?

Very nice.

Yeah, keep it simple and the crowds will rush in because the combo of Purple and Green hasn't been done yet here on Geekhack hence you shall be the First one, to trademark it for yourself.

Just be careful with any possible Trademark issues, concerning your icons because SP won't make them unless they're all publicly available or you created them from scratch.

Yeah, thanks for the great advice about the colors, it's been pointed out to me before but I strayed again :D

I've drawn the novelties from scratch based on various references :)

I never watched Eva but I'm loving the Joker aspect of the set, definitely what I would go for.

I tried something similar to that, but the monochromatic red doesn't really translate well for me, red teeth and all. I'll try it again later with a different grin.

Just an update:

Show Image

Looking fantabulous.

But I agree that, if the other mods are going to have red legends, the face should be red in uniform.

Your call, though. You've already got a sale from me!


Edit:
Not sure where you are with the IC, but I hope you keep the Eva interchangeability. The fact that I can have two sets in one is whack.
The good kind.

It's possible to print to the edge of the cap with dye sublimation, but it's very difficult to get it perfectly aligned.  Read the thread on the Galaxy Class key set for a great example of SP's extreme difficulty with that process.  Dye sub will also limit your color options -- since you're using a very bright green base color it shouldn't be an issue.  It's impossible (for SP at least) to do a doubleshot legend that way.  They have very strict guidelines for custom legends, I'm sure you've already seen them.

Also, just a thought, but would it be better to split the novelties into Eva and Joker? I've never run a GB, so I don't know how that goes.

I'm just thinking that some people may voice that they prefer one over the other and won't like having to get both sets in one if they want just one.

Doesn't matter for me, though. Gonna use both anyway.

I haven't seen the guidelines, I'm just going by the info I get from others. I'll be looking for a copy. I think a little offset from the edge would be okay, thanks for the heads up! :)

That's the plan, to split the Joker and Eva sets unless it actually does more harm than good. People should be able to buy even just the base kit without the novelties so they can just enjoy the colorway if the novelties don't interest them :)

There's a PDF floating around here somewhere that has all the rules for legends.  I'll see if I can find it.

Sorry, I meant splitting the Joker and Eva sets into two child deals instead of making them one. This way if people want to get Joker and not Eva, or vice versa, that'll appease those who may not want both.
Not sure if that'll clash with your "Troubled Minds" theme, though.

That's what I meant too, sorry for the confusion. I meant separate child deals :)

I'm going to replace the Eva head, here's an initial mockup. Old one on the right, new one on the left. I will probably make the eyes smaller Done:

My problem with that one is it doesn't look a lot like Eva 01, I'll try to tweak the new one later :)

Changes so far, there are two "Seele" keys as the original may be unfamiliar enough  that we can use it "as is".

Edit:
I don't think the joker face with all black color looks recognizable, the red grin is better. I'll have to find the perfect grin, I tried the cartoony ones with the teeth but the result was... not nice.

Ok. The Seele logo ones make me moist because it makes me think of Lilith on the cross in Central Dogma which is a major Eva visual for me, but I understand the black and red keys being the only ones like that is an issue.  Is there another way we can incorporate the angels in this? Perhaps a green on purple (for visibility) silhouette of Adam's embyro111934-0?

Or one of the better known angels like Sachiel111932-1?

And speaking of Sachiel, what do the kanji look like for the word "Berserk"? I know some other ones have been rejected, but was it due to SP limitations or did we just not feel it?
