Reddit Licensed Keys - Design Discussion
« on: Fri, 08 March 2013, 15:20:58 »
So I got licensing from Reddit to produce keys with the alien and up/down vote.


Here are my initial ideas...but I want your input:

Should have the left arrow be  [ - ] and the right arrow be [ + ]

Like the idea...would make the set more expensive since that is 2 more legends.

Just use a biro?

But i like the keys.
unless they have some unforeseeable downside (like they're actually made of cream cheese cunningly disguised as ABS)

Make an R key in the correct profile, /r/

My other thought was to make the up and down vote fit Page Up/Page Down

I liked the arrows more because they are an isolated set that would fit on any board with any profile.

Do arrows have to be licensed these days?! :))

/r/ key is a good idea. Unicorns need to eat more letter keys.

I'm not really a fan of white based novelty keycaps.  Color offers contrast and uniqueness. How about using the color scheme of Reddit's banner?
Baby blue (or sky blue) colored keycap and the alien logo in red?

the upvote and downvote may be better as the page up and page down keys imo :o

I kinda like the one QWERKeys has (link) so something like that but perhaps in different colors?

Why not sell sets for different favourite communities within Reddit?
Bag one alien mascot key with some of the dyesub keys coming off Taobao for the /r/anime people
Add a few spare hammer-and-sickles for /r/pyongyang
etc.

I would want something like this unless I had a matching left and right for my up down, probably doesn't matter the design as long as they go together. I want my arrow keys to be a set..i'd pay more for more keys obviously..

You HAVE to make the up arrow so it's on the same row as the asdfghjkl, and the down vote to be in the same row as the zxcvbnm keys.

RES allows upvoting by the A key, and down voting by the z key. DO IT

I like keyboards and case modding.  Everything about a computer should be silent -- except the KEYBOARD!
