Looking to get in on this group buy since I was so happy with round 3 (and by the time i get round 4 keys, my current ones will be worn to the stem).
Somebody asked earlier in this thread about the round 3 labels for some of the modifiers (how some are larger text size/don't match), will this be the same on these keys? Will the off-centered font styles be all the same text size on modifiers? Will it say Delete or Del? I would like some clear up on things like this.
I will tell Melissa that they should this time use one font size for all the text-label keys and not 3 or 4. I've found out that they have a T with kernig problem and at least another T (slightly narrower) which hasn't. It is interesting that they used ENTER in the same size on every key, no matter if vertical or horizontal. Most other 2 units keys are more wide-spread and also emply a wider font.
I think their workflow is to create a complete label and then use it on all keys on which this label is placed.
The GEEK HACK label has always been wrong in any Geek Hack key group buy, but they where able to properly center COM- POSE, CAPS LOCK, or NUM LOCK.
I really have to push her to make sure they don't make such mistakes again.
Several keys show me that, if they want, they can produce the quality we demand.
In the RETRO and DARK styles it will say Del and and Backspace.
As far as color schemes, will the F-keys all be the same color on all kits, or will they be like the Round 3 and be 2toned with f1-f4 being gray and f5-f8 being dark gray, etc?
If the majority wants the function row oscillating, it could be done ...
The dark kits are the only sets with every key the same color? What are chances on other font colors besides orange? I would love a blue/lightblue/green font on dark gray over the orange.
There are already some color choices for black keys in the RETRO kit which is effectively the same kit as DARK as it will have the same label-style.
I doubt it is a good idea to have both, black and very dark grey which the same color legends. I think it would be best to have only one variant ...
Round 3 keys are gray with dark gray modifiers? the sc2 keys (protoss f-key) are black? If this is correct what is the gray color going to be for "RETRO keys in lightblue on white or light grey, Modifiers in lightblue on dark grey." Does that mean they gray will be lighter than the Round3 gray?
The gray will be darker than grey (GE) in Round3. Just look at the picture. I'm still not 100% sure which colors to use. The white in this kit will be kibd of a lightgrey, or cold white. A beige white would not look good.
I think that is all for now, I am sure I will have tons more questions. Looking forward to this group buy more than round3.
Edit: oh yeah, forgot about the space bars for filco... i would love to have a 'less sharp' version this round. That is one of my only real complaints on the keys.
Also, what colors will be available for blank keys?
It is the space bar they have. Period. We are trying to let them make the tools for a 6.25 and a 7 units space bar of the SA family....
