Tagging this to remind myself to place an order.

And based on the last update, I saw ( the 13 days left) - this GB is looking to close around November 3rd? Correct?

Yeah that's what the post says.

Can we order one with Cherry logo?

Hi DanGWang,

As the orders are getting larger day by day, to ease the trouble of distributor finding each different logo , i suggest we stick to Geekhack Logo first till further notice, because as of now , all the goods will be packed and shipped in barter paper which is opaque , i doubt anyone else would want their packaging to be totally torn and unseal when received. =X Hope you understand where i am coming from.

POST #3 UPDATED WITH RED STITCH AND ORANGE STITCH COLORS.

Manufacturer will use the above image to find the threading available closest to the colors posted.

Anyone who have strong objection on either the red or orange please let me know.

Thank you

The logo of the wrist rest in the first post is indented rather than printed, correct? The cherry logos. Those look good.

Marclgw · « **Reply #56 on:** Fri, 26 October 2012, 06:24:18 »

Right, indented, same as how the Cherry logos are on.

Anyone can do a mock up for the WORD "GEEKHACK" into an image for me ?

The image on POST#1 is unclear.

To obtain a good mold we need a clear and precise image.

khaangaaroo · « **Reply #65 on:** Fri, 26 October 2012, 22:44:35 »

Anyone have a higher-res image of that logo? I can vector draw it if someone has a slightly more detailed version that I can work from.

kmiller8 · « **Reply #66 on:** Fri, 26 October 2012, 23:04:48 »

whoops I misunderstood marc's request

khaangaaroo, I used a font called "Traveling Typewriter" you shouldn't need to make a vector of a font

khaangaaroo · « **Reply #67 on:** Fri, 26 October 2012, 23:33:49 »

hmm... Traveling Typewriter looks like a slightly messier version of the font on post #1. I'll do some examples in a bit. Heading home from work now

you're right, I found a higher-res image of the MKC backspace key, we probably could find the proper font somewhere... I just know that it's "inspired by" typewriters

I appreciate both of your help to get this done.
Thank you guys!

What is the material? Same as the 3m one?

khaangaaroo · « **Reply #74 on:** Sat, 27 October 2012, 13:35:18 »

Ok guys, vectorized two versions. First one is based on the backspace key in the original post. Second one is the based on the old geekhack banner.
I'm thinking the second would look better on the wrist rests. What do you think?

Amarok · « **Reply #75 on:** Sat, 27 October 2012, 13:39:29 »

I like the second one as well.

reaper · « **Reply #76 on:** Sat, 27 October 2012, 14:05:06 »

Definitely the second one.

eon · « **Reply #77 on:** Sat, 27 October 2012, 15:31:46 »

1. I greatly prefer the second logo
2. Can't believe I sprung for the genuine... why do I do this to myself.

Marclgw · « **Reply #81 on:** Sun, 28 October 2012, 03:23:47 »

Updated post #1 with the geekhack logo =D.

Also, for the logo to be 5 x 1 cm is it too small? Anyone got a preferred dimension? That you find is best?

WhiteFireDragon · « **Reply #82 on:** Sun, 28 October 2012, 04:38:05 »

In the order list (2nd post), why are some people highlighted red and others has normal white font?

It's to see things better/easier by using different colored fonts every line.

You mean red and black text? Unless maybe it's white for you if you have retro settings on.
I believe every second person in the list the colour is swapped to make the list easier to read/follow.

edit-^beat me!

LOGO dimension 7 x 1.5 cm (Length x Width) Any Objections?

That sounds okay to me. The main thing is that it should at least not be underneath the hands when in normal typing position. A bit unavoidable for 65% boards, but 7x1.5 seems to be fine for TKL as long as it's not placed too far towards the centre.

Order put in for two! Looks so sexy and the 60% in black/orange should match my HHKB perfectly.

I just found this thread, must have missed it before somehow.
Do you have any experience with synthetic and genuine leather? Doesn't genuine make your hands sweat more?
(I'm in, just thinking which to choose:D)

Genuine leather is more porous than synthetic leather, so you'd probably sweat less. With synthetic leather, depending on what kind it is, it can tend to get that "sticky" feeling when you rest your hands on it for extended periods.

komar007 · « **Reply #97 on:** Wed, 31 October 2012, 14:16:05 »

Thanks. Now I only have to choose which size I want;)
