Well these geekhack errors are interesting... It looks like my last thread (and user account) both disappeared today.

Anyway the point of this thread is to see how much interest would be around a group buy of Nyan Cat keys.

A few months ago this was offered (http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?23934-Ragnorock-s-NyanCaps-and-quot-Tri-Triangle-quot-Group-Buy-SHIPPED) but I have seen interest in the community to acquire these keys and as an avid YouTube guy I want to represent on my mech.

I have already reached out to the appropriate people and am waiting to hear back on a few bullet points.

Who is in?

i3oilermaker · « **Reply #1 on:** Fri, 11 May 2012, 20:42:17 »

I'm in (again)

retsteel · « **Reply #2 on:** Fri, 11 May 2012, 20:44:27 »

in, but I don't think I can buy that many...

Glissant · « **Reply #3 on:** Fri, 11 May 2012, 20:46:14 »

I'm still in. Someone should maintain a list offline or something. lol...

n00bca3k · « **Reply #4 on:** Fri, 11 May 2012, 20:46:44 »

I would be UNBELIEVABLY down. Nyancat is pretty much the only novelty caps I have ever REALLY wanted. Would love a white set, but willing to see what other colors there are!

irjoe · « **Reply #5 on:** Fri, 11 May 2012, 20:50:46 »

Navy Blue?

KholdStare · « **Reply #6 on:** Fri, 11 May 2012, 20:52:40 »

Absolutely in, one of the few sets I feel like I need to have!

captain · « **Reply #7 on:** Fri, 11 May 2012, 20:56:56 »

Sounds interesting....

Welcome to geekhack Drew Baumann and KholdStare!

I can probably get a site together over the weekend to handle the list. later ill add in the ability to calculate invoice fees based on order, location, etc. The perks of being a dev.

jdcarpe · « **Reply #9 on:** Fri, 11 May 2012, 21:12:56 »

I'm still in for one

Kalcifer · « **Reply #10 on:** Fri, 11 May 2012, 21:19:55 »

Sifo · « **Reply #11 on:** Fri, 11 May 2012, 21:37:29 »

precarious · « **Reply #12 on:** Fri, 11 May 2012, 21:39:19 »

I'm in for at least two sets, probably a few more. (again!)

mickd · « **Reply #13 on:** Fri, 11 May 2012, 21:43:19 »

Interested once again! I passed on the last group buy and would likely get 1 set!

minusic · « **Reply #14 on:** Fri, 11 May 2012, 21:46:11 »

Definitely in for a set or two of these.

chubbyfatazn · « **Reply #19 on:** Sat, 12 May 2012, 00:32:55 »

abc123asd · « **Reply #25 on:** Sat, 12 May 2012, 01:22:44 »

But would also like a set

It wouldn't be possible to do black. I assume that light colored keys can be done such as blue, pink, grey, etc but the colors of the nyan cat and rainbow trail would look more dull compared to if they were on white? Just comparing from the prototypes that Rag had before.

bellaisa · « **Reply #27 on:** Sat, 12 May 2012, 01:28:09 »

still in for 2 sets

longweight · « **Reply #28 on:** Sat, 12 May 2012, 01:35:33 »

Count me out if they are white again.

That is exactly why we didn't go with light blue keys. Yellow -> Green...

tobr1an · « **Reply #30 on:** Sat, 12 May 2012, 01:39:05 »

agree if its not too expensive!

longweight · « **Reply #31 on:** Sat, 12 May 2012, 02:10:53 »

Grey would be awesome!

sejr · « **Reply #32 on:** Sat, 12 May 2012, 03:48:50 »

I'm down, yo.

jonnybastard · « **Reply #33 on:** Sat, 12 May 2012, 05:45:48 »

In for at least 1 set.

irjoe · « **Reply #34 on:** Sat, 12 May 2012, 17:56:16 »

what about cream-cheese white?

lROOl · « **Reply #35 on:** Sat, 12 May 2012, 18:03:59 »

If its the set with the backspace and trail along the numbers I am in 100%

want that set so bad

Kellybear · « **Reply #36 on:** Sat, 12 May 2012, 18:31:57 »

Anyone want to do some mock ups of different colored keys besides white? I think cream cheese white would actually look pretty nice :3

Djuzuh · « **Reply #37 on:** Sat, 12 May 2012, 18:39:07 »

Yeah, another color would be nice, because you could get more orders, as a few people in here already have a white set !

Kellybear · « **Reply #38 on:** Sat, 12 May 2012, 18:40:52 »

There are other tweaks that should be done too, like having the backspace left-aligned so there's no gap.

Djuzuh · « **Reply #39 on:** Sat, 12 May 2012, 18:44:44 »

Or having a metal nyan cat !

We definitely will do that.

KyesaRRi · « **Reply #41 on:** Sat, 12 May 2012, 19:05:30 »

Count me in for one maybe two sets.

Quarzac · « **Reply #42 on:** Sat, 12 May 2012, 19:16:37 »

Due to the nature of dye sublimation, the colors that are sublimated take on a bit of the plastic color. This means that colors come out very clear and pleasant on white keys, but on any other color, such as light blue, which was prototyped in the original buy, the colors shift and the contrast is heavily impaired.

lROOl · « **Reply #43 on:** Sat, 12 May 2012, 20:35:40 »

if anyone is selling an extra white set PM me I wanna buy

eternaty · « **Reply #44 on:** Sat, 12 May 2012, 20:38:34 »

thegunner100 · « **Reply #45 on:** Sat, 12 May 2012, 22:34:31 »

Looks like Sherryton and hazeluff have started their own groupbuy for this.

Kellybear · « **Reply #46 on:** Sat, 12 May 2012, 22:43:29 »

Time for this to close then, eh? :3
