Because there are no black on rgb only white on rgbexactly,
Color me interested for both sets. Are you using the same colors as hashbaz?At first I was thinking of using a lighter shade of blue, but on the most recent pictures the blue looked really good.
Why is there a need for another RGB within a month after the last one shipped?
Well are these also going to be Doubleshot or dyesub instead to match the original?
Some people (read: me :wave:) missed out on the last one...so, unless you've got a set to sell me, then I need me some keys. :)
I'm in for 2 sets of Winkeyless, although, if you don't mind checking to see how much it would cost to offer them in both black and white lettering, I'd appreciate it. I would prefer white lettering, so it matches my Dolch letters. Black will be fine if that's all you can do, though. I just remember 7bit saying that different colors really didn't affect the pricing all that much in the R4 group buy, but that might be due to the fact that he's dealing with smaller quantities of a wider variety of sets.
Changing the color resets the price bracket. So we'd have to have four separate sets with their own quantity and price: standard white, standard black, WKL white, WKL black.
Yeah, that's right, WKL. I went there.
no Y?no :(
no :(Just one of those things you can get and not used if you don't want to, rather that then when you want to use it but don't have it
I think the yellow kills the harmony of the set,
BUT if there is an overwhelming request for it, i will add them
Well ain't that a sonofa*****. I'm still in, though. And just in case the RGB color codes aren't already decided, I'd like to reiterate my vote for using aggiejy's colors, that blue is so much nicer than the blue from the PBT keys linked in the OP and would look really sharp with black letters.

Aggiejy's blue was not well liked, but I agree that lighter will look better for black legends. I sent Biniaris my SP color samples a while back to try and figure out which colors sixty used for his Rebel RGBY sets. He also picked out the closest colors to vintage Cherry RGB dyesubs. Aggiejy was pretty close:

I'd prefer the colors hashbaz used. Have we decided yet?do you mean the lettering or the yellow keys or?
I mean the red blue and green. Some people are asking for the colors from a previous group buy.same colors, but with black lettering see FAQ
I am in if you would let me make a special order for a set or two without the green shift keys.
you could resell them afterwards
don't think selling just the shifts are easy. SP calculate the price based on the amount of one type of keycap is ordered I believe?

I'll take one set and pitashen's shifts ;)that fixes it then, ;)

1 x winkeyless
1 x standard
I do hope for the Y still, won't add that much more in price but gives people versatility, standard will get 1.25x and winkeyless will get 1x
Please do consider, and I think people will agree on this
I second that.

Yes, if we do yellow please don't follow my example. Use YPB instead, it's purdy.

Any comparison photos available? Nevertheless, would really like to see Y in here ;-)
my first post...Welcome on Geekhack :)
in for 1 x standard
YY is the yellow from my group buy, YBP is what the Rebel RGBY kits used.
YCH doesn't look that bad either on my monitor. Might be crap in real tho. That said I think I would prefer YBP over YY.

No black on red escape?
Ok, looks like I have to ask for the prices for those Yellow keys, as soon as we have decided on a color code.
Big Thanks to everyone who has shown interest or participated in any way so far.
Great first day :)

I like it
Adding interest for Y!
I'd like to see the yellow key with white lettering remade in a stronger color (like Rebel). Anyone else?
they are currently available through GB4.
please consider ordering there to get the price down a little
last time i checked they were at 4 USD
so i'll add a price quote for black on YBP super keys in my next mail to Melissa.
ARE WE ALL SET ON YBP ??
IMO it is the best fit
so i'll add a price quote for black on YBP super keys in my next mail to Melissa.I would like to say because it's black print YY could look fine, but lets be safe and go with YBP because we know it looks good

YBP looks almost orange. Not yellow at all imo.That isn't yellow?
That isn't yellow?Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/dvd8B.jpg)
Another shot of YBP. Leans way more towards the red spectrum than the other yellows.
looks better then YY, thats what I know
looks better then YY, thats what I know
Like i said because of the black print, a brighter yellow could be okay be I wouldn't try it, so I still think YBP looks great on the REBEL 1.2 RGBY set
For clarification:
Are these specifically being made to match the size and shape of original Cherry doubleshots? Original Cherry doubleshots are shorter, for example, than standard Filco profile keys. I have original "white on black" Cherry doubleshots on my Rosewill RK-9000 and it is my understanding that these are being made specifically to match that profile. Also, if someone knows, where can I get a set of white text based RGB(Y) modifiers that match the original Cherry doubleshot profile keys?
Thanks in advance!
got a dumb question, what do the "DT" and "+" represent?
Yummy YBPShow Image(http://www.otd.kr/data/file/album/2105777600_a5f74de2_DCS_0240.jpg)
I agree. And those pics don't do it justice. Wheres the link for the rebel kit? Those look awesome.
Are you sure? This looks completely different than the color swatches.

If that's the case I won't be participating as I'm not interested in an orange key that's supposed to be yellow ;)
Just to be clear, the yellow would be a 1.25 modifier key to replace the windows key in the standard sets?
It's not orange in person guys. More of a deep gold.One could say it's orange gold :rofl:
Did you see the current yellow that was used? It looks like a faded or washed out yellow. Not good, and all the others look like mustard imo.
BTW if the whole set is going to be a bit lighter (due to the black text) then to me it doesn't seem to make much sense to go with the darkest orange.
No, where can I see this? I didn't see any other keys linked in the thread besides the YBP keys.
Yellow, not orange.
Dark orange is OB
http://geekhack.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=40124&d=1328912449
the yellow keys that are linked in the main are YY
BTW if the whole set is going to be a bit lighter (due to the black text) then to me it doesn't seem to make much sense to go with the darkest orange.
This seems to correspond well with the yellow swatches posted earlier in the thread. YY being a bit too undersaturated/dull, with YCH being closer to a true yellow but a bit more saturated/vivid.
In hashbaz's gb? That's far from faded or washed out. It's really bright
YBP
:cheer2::cheer2::cheer2:
I'm going to get a colour ring myself this time, can't take it anymore, doing so many GB without a swatch is hard
Imo they look too light compared to the deep rgb colors.You need to see them then.

Im going to get one also in the GH group buy.
In for 4 color rings. Let's get to a 100 in a week.
You just like to buy stuff :rofl:
I like to get it for free even more.Those are inflated stats
And coming from a guy with a feedback score of 63 -- precious.
:bathbaby:
Hmmm... The OP says:wait.. what?
"Black on Red Cherry Escape is currently available in GB4. CHERRYREDESC"
I'm buying one in the Round Four GB but it is supposed to be white on red, nor black on red. Am I buying the wrong thing? Here's what the Round Four Wiki says?:
"CHERRYREDESC for function row with white text 'Esc'"
Somebody school me on this.
wait.. what?
I'm going to doublecheck this, might have changed, or I remembered it wrong
In for one SP color ring!pls send
...
If not this kit really needs o black text red esc to go with it! I think an RGB kit is not complete without a red esc.my thoughts exactly, will be added as extra key/set

Awesome! Will it be the same legend Hashbaz used? That one looks great.
Yep, same legend.
I'm a bt confused now. Is the standard set the right one for a noppoo choc mini?
Nope, the Mini's right shift is an odd length. I think Round 4 is the only place to get sets that fit Minis perfectly.
Doesn't the Noppoo Choc Mini have a 1.75x right shift?think so, too
Also, interested in 1 standard set.
ARROWUP175 1.75 units modifier (Noppoo, G80-1800 Shift right)
Thanks for that information.
But I'm still in. Maybe I put them on another keyboard in future :-)
dont you need winkeyless for the noppoo?
(Attachment) 41735[/ATTACH]
paint :roll:
I'm new to all this... Like I said I really don't know for sure. The noppoo is still on its way from china to me, so I can only guess it from the pics.with the winkeyless you could use both shift; left alt&ctrl; right ctrl
I would be happy if anybody got an hint for me or can tell for sure which kit fits the noppoo... :-)
And if nobody knows, I take both kits and puzzle that stuff together :-)
Any interest in making the set PBT dysub? I have some PBT keys from SP and they are pretty darn nice. They are thicker than the flimsy doubleshots from SP too.

I like this idea if it isn't too much more expensive.
By the way, which type of printing is generally considered to be superior, doubleshot or dyesub?
Question!
So these keys are going from US -> Germany then back to US for most of us?
Question!

That's how it is with Red Alert set from sixty but of course, we could just ask Melissa to ship the US orders to one of us to distribute them.
US -> Korea -> Germany -> US, but the bulk of that order was EU and KR so that kinda made sense
Question!
So these keys are going from US -> Germany then back to US for most of us?
You think so? At that price what's it take 3 weeks to ship. That would suck.
So do we have enough people to start an taking orders now?
It's priority mail, takes a week
i recommend the 5.50 version since it allows much bigger packages
I would consider taking the US orders if need be.
Does that mean I'd have to drive over to Huntington Beach to pick them up in person? :car: Or do you have a small airport nearby? :plane:

Anyways I'm getting a little ahead of myself.
Someone in the US should run the GB for PBT dyesub RGB set <3Yep, since the legends are black anyway, it makes the most sense to have it be PBT. The two keyboards I use most are 100% PBT, and I wouldn't want to sully my CMstorm with ABS RGB kits.

'course PBT is more expensive, but I think it's well worth it. Since the profile is the same, it is okay to have PBT RGB mixed in with doubleshots.
I would also like to note that SP's PBT solves some of the problems ripster has mentioned in his GLWIC topic. I wonder how much time he's taken to examine his NYANcat set.

Count me in, I'll take one standard set.i always keep staring at your Avatar and Signature for minutes with a smile on my face
Priority mail takes a week from germany for 5 bucks? Really. Thats pretty fast. I know coming from the US it states 6-10 business days but varies because it uses the local post once it gets there.
I would consider taking the US orders if need be. I know I'm pretty new here but just putting it out there.
Also with the yellow key are we set on a diamond? Seems like a big black diamond will stand out compared to the thin lettering of the other keys. I would personally prefer blank.
But then the texture is a lot different then a set of doubleshots. Not that SP's DS's are smooth like cherry's. But wouldn't PBT be even more so. I guess everyone isn't using them with Cherry keys.
Has anyone else noticed that the legends on SP DS are smoother than the body? Anyone with one of those yellow diamond keys run your fingernail over the diamond, then the yellow part.
last thing I shipped to the US this way was sent on the 8th and I received positive feedback on the 17th 00:17 so 8 days. might take a little longer or shorter but it's a reasonable timeframe
Someone in the US should run the GB for PBT dyesub RGB set <3
I'll take 15 winkeyless sets and 6 Standard sets.
And I would very much like some 1x yellows to go with the Winkeyless sets.
If so, I will order much more winkeyless sets. :-)
Please PM me if you have any questions.

currently calculating new prices
Weren't we doing YBP because YY is too light?:redface:
This is important!
:redface:
of course
YY because of 2 Y keys, will change that to prevent further misunderstandings

I WILL HAVE TO DOUBLECHECK THIS FOR ERRORS TOMORROW
YBP keys and red escape are now part of every set
current prices with 75x Standard and 40x Winkeyless
24,67 Winkeyless incl. 2xY1.0 and Esc
19,44 Standard incl. 2xY1.25 and Esc
2,12 Esc
4,60 2x Y1.00
3,74 2x Y1.25
for 100x Standard and 50x Winkeyless
20,93 Winkeyless
17,64 Standard
in other words we get 3 additional keys and pay 3-4 dollar more.
I will see if it is possible to lower the prices even more (that whole set vs. single key stuff...) but that will mainly effect the Standard set i think
Orders start tomorrow, i will PM ppl. from the list with details and open new thread
This is all just the interest check right? People are starting to make this sound like the actual order thread!! <- Doesn't want to miss out!
I mentioned my interest in an earlier post, but I'm not in the OP too, hope that doesn't matter since it looks like we have plenty of interest.
oh ****, that's right, what am i in for
think i'll go with a winkeyless, but could we add 2 1x yellow keys to that kit?
