Disagree here... I found DSA weird to type on and GMK MOQ will kill this colorway.  Nothing wrong with regular SP sets.

But, I would prefer waiting for cherry legends to shake things up a bit.  (And I personally like symbol legends instead of written... I'd personally pay to have the tab key fixed too.)

I'd be in for the set either SP, GMK, or DSA.

I'm a bit mixed on DSA, but I'm liking them so far. Regular SP caps just don't do it for me. They're thin, have a sharp front edge and the legends aren't that great. GMK and DSA FTW

This in DSA would be very nice.  In any event, I'll probably be in for this, pending on price.  Also wish this could be PBT.

I'd love to see this set in DSA or a different profile and not WFK as the base. That being said, I'm very interested ^__^

I'm with Leslie here.  Must provide reverse colouration upon this key-set just like CC&G's  8) .

Would also be cool to include a few special key designs, like with the Raindrop set having umbrella and droplet keys.

I was thinking a flower outline as a stylized connected line petal circumference with a single purple dot in the center. 

Like the Egyptian symbol of the sun, but with a bit of a doubled petal outline instead of a pure outer circle.

I think there are enough white on [Color] keys, personally.  This set has more personality while remaining fairly neutral and clean.

I agree, there are many white legend sets and I can understand why some people might want something different. But I speak as a person who doesn't own any of those sets because the background color is usually too strong/saturated/dark for me. White on this set would be awesome. :D

Definitely, this set could be so Clean and Perfect with no extraneous colours and/or graphics (keep it ultra conservative).  I hate nondescript keys being available, there are already too many let loose here on Geekhack.

Just would like to see a plain and simple key-set without the EXTRA's being offered.  That way it would keep the price down (good for some people here) and make them readily available for everyone/anyone who is interested.

Purple /Lily should be the required set, plain and simple for those that appreciate such perfection  ;) .

Because of the colours chosen you do know that PBT would be perfect for your current selection?
Title: Re: [IC] LILY SET

That's a good point about the price: don't care for extra keys if they end up driving up the overall cost.

I agree, as to the design I posted, it was just an idea to get it started since it was mentioned.

Dear Leslieann,

That is why this is an Interest Check.

If everyone wants your key graphic then it shall be chosen, no worries.  This is were all ideas are pitched and we'll see if there is a general consensus that can be reached.

I don't specifically HATE key cap graphics but if everyone wants it for themselves then the majority wins.  Sometimes the most elegant key-sets are ones that include the basics, appropriate colour and placement of Font/graphics upon the caps.

So that in ten years time it will still be timeless like original Cherry 2-tones and Dolch's (my own personal selection).  They will always remain as perfected models of what key-caps should look like.  Maybe it's age that chooses what will be popular, so who truly knows what will be perfect next year or the year after that........ especially in a place like Geekhack  ;) .

Dear Leslieann,

I know.  :) 

I typically prefer normal keys on pretty much everything except the Winkey.

What about Dsa :llama:

Thought about this more and I changed my mind. I think this will look great as it is. I'll see if I can add some artwork for a custom key :D

Edit: Here's a draft of a logo key :D

I'd be interested in this, but I really don't like the WYSE font, so I'm hoping for cherry font. Other than that; please proceed with nice color combo.
Title: Re: [IC] LILY SET

I'd like to second Glissant's idea, needs more Cherry font :D. And DSA like I said before :P

If there are extra "design" keys, could be even more simple, like this

Yeah, I really like the color combination, but I'd only order one if it had the Cherry font.

I have to much WYSE sets and I don't want more :)

*Swoon*

ETA: I think it looks cleaner with "Win" and "Fn" instead of the symbols.  The original mockup seems more coherent like that vs the new modifier mockup.  Thoughts?

symbols for the win. :)


But, I think you should have a new legend made for the tab key so it's the same line thickness as the other legends. See RainDrop as an example of what not to do.  It would be $45 to do this, and then everyone else could use it.  If you don't want to add it into your set fees, I'll gladly pay half of it just to see it get done. :)
