Probably no Round 2, but extra sets from Round 1 will soon be sold here:

Keep your eyes open 

[DanielT]

Thanks for the kind words and support through this process, taylor, danielT, and everyone else! It has been a long hard process of taking the idea of LCARS and trying to express that in the fairly constrained medium of keycaps given the manufacturing constraints. However, with perhaps the slight exception of the numpad blue-dye disappointment, I'm very happy with the result. Regardless of how one feels about the inherent aesthetics of the set (your points are well taken, Grendel) unto itself, I think it's about as accurate to the colors and graphics of the original show that the tools and materials available to us made possible. In that regard, I feel like the set meets the goals of screen accuracy and subtlety that I set for it at the beginning—whether or not those are the goals everyone might choose—and I'm quite satisfied. I hope everyone ends up liking his or her set too.

Looking at the photos I can say one thing, this is a cool set  I'm happy Grendel posted on Deskthority, otherwise I would have missed my favorite key set ever 
It was a long and interesting journey and I can say the purpose was "to boldly go where no one has gone before"

Got my set yesterday! I just got the common set and the battle bridge set. Came in two separate bags. I quickly noticed I was missing the "W" from the battle bridge set.  It's supposed to have darker blue WASD keys but I only have ASD keys. The common set is complete.

That's odd. Email SP. There are lots of tiny keys flying around for something like this, so I'm not surprised that their fulfillment missed a few here and there. I'm sure this happens not infrequently and that they have a system to deal with it.

Probably no Round 2, but extra sets from Round 1 will soon be sold here:

After TechKeys.us sells out their inventory, there will probably eventually be a second round. But go to TechKeys first, as it will be a fairly long time before any second round is available.

Indeed

Just wanted to follow up - As I posted above, I'm missing the "W" key from the "Battle Bridge" set. I sent an email to SP and they quickly replied back and Melissa says they will send out my missing key today. Nice!

I recognise that name.

indeed!

He must get a set, he is the reason this set exists 

[i3oilermaker]

I'm hoping my sets arrived today - might be a few days until they get listed on TechKeys, as I will need to photograph, list, email blast etc.


I think they look great from the pics!

First impression really cool set, glad I got in on this group buy.  The colors are really nice, and the legends are crisp.  Looks better in person.  I shall be taking this to work to see how I get on with the dsa profile.

A few things could be improved.  Numberpad just doesn't go with the rest of the set.  Like someone else already said previously the light grey doesn't work and things would look better if everything was aligned lower right.  The larger keys, except the space bar for whatever reason, aren't very flat.  My right shift key is warped badly.

I actually originally bought an extra set with the idea in mind of sending it to him. I have PM'd him to ask for his address.

[ConscienceDrop]

still not up on techkeys

checking every day ;_;

[i3oilermaker]

Sets are photographed - hoping to get them up today.

[gogusrl]

nooo, not today. wait until monday (payday).

[i3oilermaker]

I would be surprised if they sell out by Monday. 

[CPTBadAss]

My heart when I see this set

<3

My heart when I see that it's DSA

</3


Glad it finally came to fruition. The colors are amazing. Great job norbrauer and Moz! Really wish it wasn't DSA though.

[gogusrl]

well, i have no clue how many you're gonna have, but it's a pretty unique set and murphy's law says that they're gonna sell out by sunday 23:59

[i3oilermaker]

Its also an expensive set since it is PBT / Dyesub....The Tsangan kit was $50 from the GB and I can't sell them for $50 :/

[Glod]

Oh course I'm having remorse not getting this after seeing the pictures. ****. Now I'm jobless and can't afford this even if I could buy one from vendor.

Congrats!

[gogusrl]

No ISO kit and a 45% markup. I r disappoint.

[Grendel]

ISO kit didn't tip, none where made.

[LechnerDE]

I am pretty sure they were produced anyway because I paid for one

[Grendel]

Nice, you then get one of eight -- hang on to it

ISO was produced even if it didn't tip. I have one too Rare item

Where are you seeing 45% markup?
That would be $72 for a tsangan kit. #maths

edit for two reasons
one: if your **** is so warped it won't sit in the stabilizer inserts properly they will replace it.
two: cause I have an iso kit too. put it next to my grey debian swirls and be #RAREBALLER like clacks but cooler.

My right shift is pretty warped. And for some reason they put the wrong homing keys in my base set. Will have to sort this out.

Did so few people buy the Debian swirls? What I'd really like is a Scientific Linux key...

Really well done - when I shot it I was rushed and I'm not thrilled with the results - any pointers on lighting?

Why, thanks. No good pointers, sorry -- I took the board to the porch late afternoon under a cloudy sky, no extra light was added :/ For in-door product photography I would start w/ two lamps left & right betw. the subject and the camera and see how that goes. I did a bit of post-processing w/ LightRoom on these (always take raw pictures ! ) :

- white balanced to the 18% grey patch of the GretagMacbeth color chart
- lens profile correction active
- medium contrast tone curve
- exposure comp. to +.5 or so
- clarity (local contrast) set to 30
- sharpening to 55, mask to 70
- straightened and cropped
- export sharpening for screen, normal
- export re-size to 1024 on the short edge

Hey guys. I've decided to sell my set. I got the Core and Battle Bridge set but I have now decided I really won't end up ever putting this set on my keyboard. I've checked the keys out and they are all there and have never been put on my keyboard so they are basically brand new.

I put a post in the classifieds if you want to check it out.

[darrensnake]

Is it possible to get a Tsangan kit for this set still?
I bought the core set and the bottom row of keys don't fit

I don't want the full set. Already have the core set.
Oops my bad. Didn't see the selection menu

You can buy the Tsangan Kit separately at techkeys

[taylordcraig]

Photos of my sit which finally arrived yesterday.
Is everyone's 1u sum key black text instead of gray like in the mockup?
I'm also missing my 1.25u purple phase key, but that's fine because I'm using my tsangan kit right now anyway.
I'll email Melissa today I'm running to work right now. Set feels really good.

[LechnerDE]

Looking good on that Lightsaver 


Only thing that kinda annoys me is the height difference of the legends on the numpad (backspace vs. div/multi/sub).

What was the reason behind that? I have to admit I didn't even notice it on the mockups, but directly next to the base set it looks a little off.

Thanks guys.
I'm hoping my GON TKL looks even better when I get it back from Dorkvader.
The whole board being completely attached and kind of emulating a screen is awesome though.
They feel, really, really good, to reiterate.

[DanielT]

I received my set it's amazing, it made my day. I will put them on my GON and post photos.
It's all I hoped for and more
