[GB] Ragnarok Red on Black 87/104 Keyset: Order Thread [Shipped]

[mickd]

Arrived in Korea? Awesome! Will be checking my mail tentatively every day now!!

[Nighted]

It can get to Korea faster than Ontario? WTF USPS/Canada Post?

Maybe, that's because I used a little bit expensive shipping method.

PS: the white W is there for comparison purposes. Cherry DS vs SP DS (the black colour is kinda different).

PSS: next time we should aim for a thicker font, if possible.

Don't know about you, but I got mine today..

[Nighted]

Don't know about you, but I got mine today..

Nope, not today. Maybe tomorrow but I think the mail man takes Fridays off to go drink. Got a new Poker to pick up later. Was hoping to put these on it.

[Ragnorock]

Just want to double check you read about the star keys, since you bought 23 of those sets. I'll send a supplementary package as soon as I get them.

[mkawa]

loving my keys. is there anyway we can defray the cost of shipping the stars?

[Ragnorock]

I wouldn't worry about it, since I'm planning on using some of that excess donations I received from Game Theory and Phil21, who between them almost contributed the whole sorting fee themselves ($271,) so just thank them!

If you really feel bad, the cost to ship domestic, not including the envelopes etc is about $2, international ~$3.75. You all should have my paypal on file by now right? Lol.

Anyone else missing keys let me know, I've got a list going, and it looks like Litster got Soulpyre's ~ key. XD

[Oxblood]

Keys look great.  Once I get time to dremil out the ports for my Duckyj caps lock etc. I'll post pick.

P.S. The SCRandom key looks great as my function.

[demik]

Rag, you sent my tsangan set to tennobanzai since we grouped our order. For the star keys, can you have it sent to me instead?

[Ragnorock]

Yeah, just make sure to remind me with a PM when they get here.

[demik]

Will do

I totally agree. I also compared them top some black cherrys and it made the font look really wimpy. Would help with the contrast imo.

[demik]

The words are wimpy. The single letters are fine.

[rknize]

Once we have Cherry legends, this will all be moot.  Pretty hard to mess up weight/kerning/position/etc when they are handed an SVG on a silver platter.

Are we talking about the same Signature Plastics? I don't think anything is too simple for them to mess up.

have you missed ripster's ranting about his awesome face keys?

You'd have to be dead.

[lightsout714]

Without proper lighting it can be hard to see the letters on these.

I know learn to touch type blah blah :lalala:

really? i seen them perfectly fine.

it's the words (especially shift) that are way too thin.

[fstop]

I think thicker letters all around would help contrast the colors, but yes, especially on the keys with wording.

I don't have a problem seeing the letters under light, but the letters look much more pink to me than red under certain lighting.

[Ragnorock]

To everyone complaining about bolder fonts, it isn't near as clean and looks dated, which many, myself included, really hate. They look perfect imo.

[Glissant]

I am still waiting for my set, but I can't wait to actually be able to make up my own mind about this. Tired of so many complaints here tainting my view of this lovely looking set

[fstop]

Complaints is a pretty negative way of putting it, I think its more constructive criticism. I have my set and really like it. The whole group buy went really well in delivering what we wanted, despite a few minor set backs. That doesn't mean its perfect to all of us though.

What font was used for this GB? Was it wyse? I'm not familiar with SP fonts but I'm curious if this is the same one that will be used for the cream cheese GB so I know what to expect.

Yes to both.  SP's font selection is pretty limited, and unless I'm mistaken we can't just request "bolder" without paying for entirely new legends.

[Ragnorock]

Correct, it was WYSE, and they don't have many fonts to choose from, as custom legends are very expensive. The cherry font "adopt a key" fundraiser is supposed to give everyone that bolder font, but it is really expensive to do.

[metafour]

Yeah, I was hoping that some of the legends would be the same as those used in hashbaz's RGBY group buy.

Not complaining just stating my opinion. And for me it gets no cleaner that OG cherry. Which many love around here. No worries though. I'm not knocking you dude. Just having a discussion.

[metafour]

Nah I just meant the modifiers like demik mentioned. The Shift is a little thin and the arrow is pretty thin compared to the RGBY sets.

[demik]

because those are custom legends, not wyse legends.

[hashbaz]

Yup.  The RGBY legends are part of the Cherry legend project.

[metafour]

Yeah I thought so but I thought you were saying something else. Would it have cost extra to use those Cherry legends on just the modifiers since the rest was the WYSE font though?

I'm just saying that it seems the legends were already done and paid for since they were used in the earlier RGBY group buy. Were they not used because it would have cost extra or for aesthetic reasons? Not a big deal or anything, I'm just curious.

[Ragnorock]

Nobody suggested it, otherwise I may have done that. I wanted to keep it simple though, and the text is the same size across the board, meaning its the same on the home, end, etc keys as it is on the large modifiers.

[metafour]

Yeah, with only those few modifiers being of different width I figured it was, at a minimum, an aesthetic choice.

[hashbaz]

The Cherry modifiers wouldn't match the WYSE font well.  And at present we only have Ctrl/Alt/Shift, Caps Lock, and Escape done.

[Taeyoung]

Just want to double check you read about the star keys, since you bought 23 of those sets. I'll send a supplementary package as soon as I get them.

Yeah, I've already read about the star keys.
And I can happily wait for the supplementary package.
Thanks Ragnarok!

[kaen]

Thank you raggy, stellar GB all-round, keys are fantastic!

Would match the storm almost perfectly if the CM part of the logo was black/dark gray.

Ever heard of a SHARPIE?  ;-)



Wabi-sabi: Nothing is perfect. Nothing is ever finished. Nothing lasts forever.


Ragnorock rocked this GB!  :-)

[Mafioso]

Hey, my stuff has come Ragnarok and I'm delighted with everything except the fact that on my number pad set I have 2 5s and no 2. Anything I can do to sort that? I'll pay for posting if you have the missing 2. Thanks.

[Ragnorock]

Added you to my list of people missing keys. That missing key is from the 104 set correct? I will ship the missing keys out when I get them.

Cheers,
Dave

I really like how the Windows 8 key turned out.

[Mafioso]

@Ragnarok
Yeah, the 104 set. It's the 2 key from the number pad so will have an arrow on. Cheers man ^^

[mickd]

Both my sets came with no missing keys! Thanks Rag! Leaving feedback!

[All The Fire]

Where in Sydney are you? Why didn't mine come?

Did you have to sign for it?

[mickd]

Near Liverpool/Fairfield. Nope. I'm not sure if anyone else at home signed for it since I was at uni. Just came home and it was sitting in my room.

[All The Fire]

Well hopefully tomorrow, though if you have to sign I won't get them until Wednesday...

[jonnybastard]

Woot least they're in Aus, hopefully they get to Perth this week.
