Title: [IC] Infinikey 808-Boom (GB Closed) - in production & donation made
Post by: Langelandia on Sat, 16 May 2020, 11:39:25
I wanted to share with everyone here that the payment towards the charity has been processed. TheKey.Company was exceedingly generous and rounded their donation up more than $500 additional dollar to make it a full $7000 that went to Children's Music Fund (https://www.thecmf.org/) - We are currently working with the charity to get a receipt of payment so we can share that with you and TKC is writing up a full blog post about the whole thing.

From the president of CMF, Ronda Grech:

"What a remarkable response to your custom design! Congratulations!! Your fans where so kind with providing their support too. We saw incredible traffic to our website on the promotion weekend and an increase in social followers.

On behalf of our board, volunteers, therapists, and most importantly, the amazing children we help, thank you for making a difference in their lives. Your generosity will provide 140 Music Therapy sessions to children in need. Please stay in touch. You will always be a part of our CMF Family."

Thank you to all who joined and supported the CMF in other ways. Big <3 to you

Welcome to the Interest Check for Infinikey 808-Boom! Here's (https://forms.gle/UkJxFGjzPhTYNe747) the form.

THIS BUY WILL BE LIVE ON JULY 31ST - We will be giving away stuff on 8/08 to make up for not launching on the best day of days.
 

TTYlerdurden of C.Y.O Keycaps, Thatcliff, and I have teamed up to bring y’all a keyset inspired by one of the most iconic devices in music production and beat making.

The device is a drum machine that was manufactured in the early 1980s and has continued to influence drum beats for decades. It was one of the first to allow producers to program beats instead of having to choose from preset sounds and patterns. It was discontinued from production after only 12,000 units were made. Between the difficulty of stocking the semiconductors used, and analog synthesis sounds being ahead of their time (pre-electronic/hip-hop), the machine was eventually replaced by a later model.

The device features some of the most recognizable percussion sounds in music history and has been used on more hit records (either originally, or through track sampling) than any other drum machine. The booming bass lines, crisp snare, classic cymbals, and renowned congas, cowbells, and handclaps are what make this machine's sounds so celebrated and sampled.

We are proud to say that we are partnering with Children’s Music Fund (https://www.thecmf.org/). They are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to bringing music therapy into the lives of sick children to help overcome pain, fear, and anxiety. We are donating 100% of designer profit. TheKey.Company is also adding to this amount so that each Bass Kit sale will give $10 directly to the Children's Music Fund, and a portion of the sales from every additional item sold will directly contribute to the Fund.

We set out to produce a set that we were passionate about, as well as use the power of design for a greater good. We spent a lot of time considering how to support 40s folks, as well as Alice layout users, and boards of all sizes. We strived to design this set in such a way that it remains visually consistent throughout almost any keyboard layout, yet also offers users a range of options. We appreciate your feedback and insights, and look forward to your support in the future as we look to take this set through group buy.
 
 
A FUN NOTE
 
Initially, I had begun development with my brother on a similar set several months back; however, we hit a wall and let it sit to try and figure out how to execute it well. Recently, C.Y.O sent me a mockup of the set he was designing. We learned that we had been working on the same concept completely independently of one another! It was at that moment, we knew we had to team up. It’s funny how life works, eh?

More information to come about these in the coming days.
 

FAQ
 
This section originally caused some pretty heated opinions originally. We never meant to be offensive, we just wanted to lean into some meme keyboard life. That said, we absolutely have taken feedback and updated accordingly (noted below). We've left these original FAQs for posterity, but remember: we were honestly kidding and genuinely appreciate the feedback. <3
 
Why the price?
This set uses a high number of dyes, which requires more time under the dye sublimation machine. And since time=money, it simply costs more and we want to make sure money goes to the charity. Aether and Graen had very similar pricing for comparison, too.
 
I don’t see support for ____?
-Support deez kids, yo.
(y'all...it's a MF joke...fill out the form if we missed support for your keyboard...)
 
What are the dimensions of the mat?
-900 mm x 400 mm
 
Isn’t this just a <whatever color> GMK <whatever comparative set>?
-No
    
I don’t like the colored row of alphas.
-Noted.
 
Can we have all the ___kana sublegeds?
-No
 
Love the effort behind this set, but come on... another ____ set?
-Yes, sorry...will tone it down a little next time.
 
Where’s my normal text mod legends?!?
-The colors were chosen so that if you are looking for a more ordinary keyset experience, you can mix and match to your heart’s desire with other standard BoW or WoB sets. <3
 

UPDATES
    
As mentioned above in the FAQ section, we did take your feedback and have made some changes as a result:

THANKS
 
First and foremost HUGE thank you to NathanAlphaMan for his tireless commitment to excellence in renders. Without you the true vision of this set could not have been realized. Thank you for your GENEROUS donation of time, critical eye for detail and perfection, and utmost display of professionalism.

Love the effort behind this set, but come on... another TR-808 set? This isn't more-so directed to you OP, as the effort behind this is obviously there, and there is thought behind it, but I am sick of the constant IC posts themed after the TR-808. Its just too much at this point. People gotta tone it down a little with these constant TR-808 themed keyset posts. Its like every other week another one pops up.

Thanks for taking a peek <3

Right, people asking for support for a keyboard they use must be intolerable to the point of arrogance as a reaction. Good luck with the set!

Sorry if this upset you. I thought we communicated fairly well in the IC text that we spent a great deal of time ensuring that 40s, Alice style layouts, etc all had support. We went to detailed length to make sure that this set looks consistent across all board sizes, and layout combos. We wanted to include as many people as possible and very much encourage feedback and suggestions via the IC form. If you have input I would love to hear it, and have as much input as possible on how to make this set even better. Always looking to improve. In any case, thanks for taking the time to comment, and I hope to hear your thoughts!

I honestly don’t understand all the hate. Unless I’m ignorant I feel like 808 isn’t that overdone with a new ic every week. I really only remember dsa 808 but if a new form factor is a crime then, you have a lot of other sets to toss shade to. If anything the anime inspired weeb sets are fatiguing, and those are undeniably the trend right now.

Set looks great, glad more cherry profile pbt sets are being made

It didnt upset me, just baffled me that on an IC for a product, the designer went through the effort of telling people not to give feedback on the layout.

Post by: KeLorean on Sun, 17 May 2020, 02:14:55
imo you are tapping into something that a lot of designers are missing altogether. your design takes the keyboard as a whole and throws out all the norms of alpha mods, that quite frankly is exhausted, and using the keyboard as a canvas for something u saw, this audio controller, to bring to life the aesthetic thereof. there are other designs that do this, but you seem to have done it with bold simplicity, and it looks great. good job. i dont know if i’ll have the money, unless there is an accents kit, BUT good luck.

I'm assuming Fropsie was being facetious based on the FAQ, but I have seen DSA 808, and I like this better.
I hope Kokaloo comes back, understanding it was a joke that didn't come across well because, well... sarcasm is hard on the internet without facial expressions, and also because sarcasm is kinda just insulting if a person's not in the mood.
BUT I think I get the feeling that Lang and CYO are committed to having more compatibility than most sets--they just need your input because there are so many esoteric sets/keys out there.
I'm excited for this set.

I've managed to avoid group buys, and didn't even have a geekhack account until I saw this set posted in reddit.
...and well...
Here I am.

I only came to say your design and the way you’ve pulled the 808 appearance and design into keys is quite brilliant.

Having owned a TR-808 myself in the past, I knew what this keycap was at first sight.  I didn't have to read the title.  That alone says you've done a great job at recreating the look of the 808.  DSA808 did not capture this feel IMO.  Lose the "Beat It" on the spacebar and take my money.

Had an 808 and a 303 back in the day. Rocking DIY versions of them still. Roland x0x will never go out of style.

Form filled!  Going to repeat my feedback here:  I love it, except for what seems like a mis-matched F-row.  I'd love to see an all-knobs F-row (maybe as an extra kit), with knobs that go to 12 and each pointing to a unique position.  GLWIC!

Thanks for taking a peek <3

I agree, I would like an add-on for all knobs kit for the F-row in the different colors.
Also maybe white 1 2 3 caps on the number pad and/or white arrows for TKL boards. Just looking at the end of the color row, the white at the end wasn't included.

Lastly but most important, add another but less busy desk mat. Can one be create just using 1/3 color gradient or like a equalizer wave?

Might be too late for this feedback, but it would be awesome to add keys for left side macro columns. I feel like you could do something cool with them, like more knobs or a gradient. I want to put this on my Quefrency.
