Vim Keycaps
« on: Fri, 02 October 2015, 15:57:05 »
I had some Vim keycaps made, what do you think?

112549-0
112551-1
I'm going to get the letter legends smaller, I think.

Edit:
Pictures of the final product included here too.

Looks pretty good!

The font is a bit off but I think that's just because of what's used with SA Retro.

If I were to try this, I would get the color green you got, the font to match what's on SA Retro, and DIY side-print the arrow icons.

I like the idea of front-printed arrows, but I wanted to match the style of the original ADM-3A terminal, which is the basis for Vim's HJKL nav.


More info here.

After sleeping on it, I am definitely going have the font made smaller, I just hope SP doesn't rake me over the coals by charging me the full price again. I bought a bunch of the Vim Caps Lock replacement keys, so hopefully selling those will offset this (probably) failed experiment.

hey, i definitely want in if you end up doing some kind of custom order from SP.  I unfortunately missed out on the VIM SA ESC (but got the capslock key from symbiosis..) ultimately I would like something to replace my leader key, capslock, and esc.

how did you order a bunch of the vim capslocks?  did you order a bunch of symbiosis kits or were you somehow able to make a custom order?

Fantastic :D, it's nice to know that we have some Vim users around. And those caps are really nice. Waiting on my DSAs from Signature plastics.

Hmm, you mean you made a custom order for them from SP? How much does that stuff cost for something like this? I guess the vim molds were already made so a new one would be a completely different thing?

Hello all, I've been traveling and missed these new replies till now. I am glad to see there's been some interest!

I paid the regular tiered price for the caps locks (x cost per number of keys purchased), but on top of that I had to pay a couple hundred dollars for the new hjkl legends (four keys x two profiles).

The good news is that Melissa sent me a new set of keys with smaller letter legends, because she made a mistake in putting the order in. It's been said before, but she's great. I'm still away from home, but I'll take new pictures once I'm back.

I bought a bunch of extras, hoping I can make back my investment. I have everything in hand and will be selling them soon. I'd love to get some input on what you think a good price is (I'll also sell the caps lock separate from the hjkl keys, in case folks don't want both).

Thanks! that's really interesting to me because I've been thinking about getting a novelty with a custom legend made myself. Guess I should contact SP to find out more.

Love the HJKL. Don't really know about the pricing, guess looking at what WASD sets and novelties typically cost is a good start.

They look very nice, but the font is larger than the rest of the alphas, as someone pointed already.

I'm pretty sure I bought enough for everyone who's interested right now, so there should be no need for a group buy. I have the keycaps, so I just need to get packing materials and decide on a pricing.

I figured GMK's MOQ would be too high, but I have considered JTK (once they finish their initial runs) or Gateron. I would like these in Cherry profile, for sure. I'll see how well these sell and maybe try that next.

I bet the more feasible option would be Gateron in dye sub. JTK is not taking custom orders at the moment.

Agreed. I'll have to figure out how to talk to them about custom orders. A brief search of the interwebs didn't bear any fruit last time I tried.

Alright, I am prepping this for launch (on a separate thread in the classifieds, so as not to anger the mods).

I plan to go for a sales price of $6 for the Caps Lock replacement, $10 for the set of HJKL keys, and $15 for both. I have SA and DSA profiles. The keys are already on hand, so shipment will be pretty much right away (waiting for packing materials to arrive).

Hopefully this strikes a good balance between a fair price and one that allows me to recoup some of the money it cost me to have these made. If I more than break even, I'll roll that money into a couple other projects I have in mind.

I'll gladly take a set of each when you decide to sell them. :thumb:

Thanks for investing in getting these caps made, I'm sure you'll be able to make your money back.

This is more than the VIM Key, it's the HJKL keys as well.

Yes, please be sure to update on this thread when you post the the buying thread. At such a low price there's no way I can't buy a set or two.

SP does make these, true, but they didn't have any of the Caps Lock replacements in stock at the time (they still don't, as far as I can tell), so I placed an order.

As Steezus said (thank you!), the HJKL keys are the different thing here. I had the idea I wanted the keys from the ADM-3A terminal, but in Vim green, and these are the result.

Hello all, I have a huge box of packing materials in my basement, and a Shopify store created, so I am ready to sell my extras. I am setting up a classifieds post, but the site to purchase is at vimcaps.com. I need to take some better pictures and make things a little prettier, but it should be functional. Let me know if you have any trouble or feedback. I *think* Shopify will make everything easier, but it is an experiment too, so please let me know if it sucks.

Ordered a set of each -- expect you'll see a bit of pushback on that shipping, though -- $10.00 is a little stiff for shipping a few keycaps. Good luck with the sale!
