Hello World key issue fixed by adding it to Git as well :)

[...] and it's more thematically consistent with a mod-set different to the one that it's currently in!

While you are not wrong, I felt it fit the regular modifiers just as much. The regular modifiers are more like an introduction to code, with the colored legends and CODE system keys, so having a novelty key that symbolizes introduction fit in very nicely with that. But I can see how advanced programmers that are well versed in using Git etc would appreciate a throwback to the newbie days as well.

Kits have been sent off to SP, you may only point out errors from now on. (https://oblotzky.github.io/sa-oblivion/)

Thanks to all for giving feedback! Gonna continue making keyboard renders till the drop drops.

A big thank you for including the 1u AltGr and the 1.25u spacekey! :thumb:

Really excited about the drop! This keyset feels so complete! It covers pretty much everything. Now to figure out which colorway I want...

Looking forward to more renders! ;D

"Hello World!" should be "Hello, World!" no? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%22Hello,_World!%22_program

The comma is very crucial...

I opted to drop the comma for aesthetic purposes. I'll take another look at it maybe before we go live

I would vote for no comma, personally, and no exclamation point either.

I know the traditional first program string has both, but it feels more industrial and cohesive with other keys like "CAPS LOCK" and "PAGE DOWN" to just have "HELLO WORLD"

Also agree with this. Adding punctuation will not flow with the rest of the set well, in my opinion.

Yep, I'm just looking for consistency =) Match the standard programming "Hello, World!" or just make match the rest of the legends. I'd prioritize matching the rest of the legends.

I think "HELLO WORLD" works better.

I had such a knee-jerk reaction to this, but on more consideration, either all the punctuation or none of the punctuation!

So far I've been planning to go with the Oblivion theme, but lately I've felt undecided because that red return has me lusting! I really wanted to see what a 60%/65%/ISO/ANSI looked like with that colorway. Now I'm even more undecided! It looks delicious!

Reworked 40bit a little as it was missing a R3 1.75u with a legend for the Minivan's right side in arrowless layout, and removed the R4 2u LOCK key as I couldn't actually find a use for it in the mentioned supported layouts. And since the 1.75u with legend now is useable for split spacebars where some use it as Return and others don't, I also added 2.25u with legend so you can chose there as well if its a Return or a spacebar.



Also added the comma to HELLO WORLD novelty keys in Oblivion Modifiers, Git Modifiers and the Git and Oblivion UK kit

Melissa returned with pricing, Yanbo is translating that to MD prices right now and I hope we'll have a store page up about a week ahead of launch for you guys to check out.

Ahhhh, the other guy convinced me "HELLO WORLD" (no punct) will look better than "HELLO, WORLD!" but you're the designer.

Going to end up getting 2-3 sets worth. Love everything about this set, thanks for all the work you put into it.

The exclamation mark is pretty vital for the legend IMO, so that one I wasn't dropping for sure. Thanks for the support!

Yeah I did, I started to like it, but I got concerned it might come out wrong. I'm not sure what the comma would look like with their modifier font, if its the same as on the actual comma key then it wouldn't really fit. I'd probably have to do it via vector files but I can't match their font 1:1 and scaling might be different towards the rest. So I'm playing it safe with HELLO WORLD! only. The exclamation mark is used on 1976 BUMMER! novelty and looks splendid.

The best estimate I can give right now is to go check the pricing on other SA sets run by MD such as Carbon, Godspeed or Chocolatier. Since the drop starts in September and goes on for 3 weeks, I'd say you easily have a month left to gather finances if you really wan't to get both.

According to Massdrop Prices, should be good.
Can't wait for the drop to become available and nide work on designing the keysets

This is probably all too late, but any chance for a Red-legend R1 2u key for layouts where legend colour consistency between an Escape (Git) key on the left hand side of the keyboard will be red?

This is going to be my first "real" keyset and it's going on a completely custom board that I am just about finished with so I couldn't be more excited.

I posted in the reddit thread, but I made a Netbeans variant of Oblivion that uses the colors from this set, which is available here.

Still working on the Sublime Text one, but should have that up soon.

Thanks so much for putting in the work to make this all happen.

Hype! This set is very nice. I have not yet tested SA profile though but might get this. The difficult choise is white vs grey.

I know SA always split in small kits. Are people doing this just because SA has much lower MOQ or have anyone tried selling SA in GMK-style kits?
I guess most people buy plenty of kits and id assume that would make prices lower.

I guess most people buy plenty of kits and id assume that would make prices lower.

GMK base sets are nice, but the only real winners for those are people with fullsize/1800/96key/65/75%. Getting those layouts covered with SA ends up costing at least the same in most cases. But for people with TKL boards, 60%, Ergodox, 40% and Planck keyboards, its definitely more affordable with SA. Ergodox and Planck kits are rarely available for GMK sets, and when they are, you have to buy the entire base kit as well just to get the alphas (I'm hoping that will change soon, see GMK Calm Depths and GMK Electric ErgoPlanck kits). It's just way more flexible this way overall IMO and stays affordable except for people that get everything.

For those interested in calculating your cost easily I put together an open office spreadsheet.

Simply enter the quantity you want of each set and the current sold quantity for each set in the appropriate columns and it does the rest.

If there are any errors please let me know. There are two or three sets that didn't have confirmed prices when I made the spreadsheet I will try to update that tonight or in the morning.
