Cancelled

Very Sorry to do this, but this GROUP BUY is officially CANCELED!

This did not work out as I planned, mainly the way I tried to do it with a few different options.
However future group buys should go much smoother, I've learned a lot more this time around than my first single key buy.
Just because this did not work out doesnt mean I won't be trying again soon (although a diff colour scheme).

Look for a diff MO from me soon. It will be ONE option, with maybe a numpad addon.
I'm thinking black on very dark gray, something Harrison was considering doing.
Also I've gotten @10 canceled orders last 2 days, another reason this is done.

Those are suposed to match the SP Keycaps that are suposed to ship to us next months?

I think this is a very cool option.

I like the way to do this MO, no choices, you take it or leave it.

Do you think you'll go ahead with the different color legends for the modifier keycaps? If so, that looks pretty good, I'd be interested in a set.

This has nothing to do with group buy 3... However these will come from SP too so if you want to mix these with group buy 3 keys they will be same profile etc.

No leopold, sorry SP cant do it.
Title: [MO] Blue on Gray/ Dark Gray
Post by: BaconKnight on Wed, 27 April 2011, 00:21:31
From my understanding isn't it only the spacebar on a Leopold that provides difficulty switching out? Or is it also all the other modifier keys? (Shift, Control, Caps, Enter, Tab, etc)

looks like we are well on our way to getting 50 orders, I prefer this kind of MO to the R3 add everything under the sun and take 6 months (I dont think it is bad to do it that way its just sometimes I am impatient, I applaud 7bit & Imav for having the balls to pull off a 40k + key group buy for 250 people).  I just like the take it or leave it approach, its what worked perfectly for Whiterices Round 1 buy and that was started and finished in what 50-60 days?  This is the kind of turn around that my impatient side likes lol
Title: [MO] Blue on Gray/ Dark Gray
Post by: JSchool on Wed, 27 April 2011, 15:42:40
Just to make sure I understand.  These will fit most of the popular keyboards (Filco, Leopold, etc) but for some the space bar won't work?

What about on the Poker?

Title: [MO] Blue on Gray/ Dark Gray
Post by: Lpb45 on Thu, 28 April 2011, 06:27:20
If we can put the 50 sets together for this the pricing is very comparible to the R3 sets, that price does not count in the options zaerst has mentioned.  So the pricing would be pretty comparible to the R3 buy but it will only be for a 10keyless with the full set being a bit more expensive.  we should probly make a list of who is in so far,  if I have time later at work today I will put the list togethor and pm it to zaerst so we can see how close we are.

Title: [MO] Blue on Gray/ Dark Gray
Post by: Lpb45 on Sat, 30 April 2011, 03:05:14
from my understanding the rgb legends will be an add on like the 10-key, zaerst will have to confirm though

So the normal set would come with everything in the light blue and then the extra rgb's as an add on.

Post by: keyboardlover on Sat, 30 April 2011, 09:45:46
I'm concerned that some of the keys don't look like they'd fit a Filco properly, like the stepped caps lock and the bottom row...
Title: [MO] Blue on Gray/ Dark Gray
Post by: Lpb45 on Sat, 30 April 2011, 10:23:33
The stepped caps are more then likely for the cherry-type boards using cherry stabilizers as well as the bottom row(Like the moogle kit from R3) my guess is they will look similar to 7bits R3 doubleshots just differant color keys and legends, we have no other keyboards to show as examples which is why I think it would be best to wait until Zaerst confirms these things with SP first.  I will update the list a bit later today, I apologize if I left anyone out as I was really tired last night when I did the list and its been a really really long week at work.  Thank god for the weekend!

Title: [MO] Blue on Gray/ Dark Gray

what about including both a stepped and normal caps with the "base" kit?

Will the german set be iso ?
Is the size of alt/ctrl modifiers 1.5 ?

Sry for my question, but if I count it right the german layout have 88keys (without numpad which has 17 and our standard keyboards have 105 keys) or did I make a mistake?

Hi Jjini. I wondered if you would eventually post in one of those threads. I guess people just love your keycap designs and color choices too much. Personally I think its a bit dull and lame to just copy a design instead of coming up with an own creation of something. Then again... there is only so much that can be done with keycaps. Personally, how do you feel about this?
Title: [MO] Blue on Gray/ Dark Gray
Post by: gilgam on Tue, 03 May 2011, 05:05:27
copying a good design is worth :-)

But if you create another style you have to be mainstream to get enough people, if you want it to be cheap.

i want a green(VCS from SP) on black/dark grey keyset with fonts in the upper left like this one. I'm not sure there will be so many people

Why not just make the extra keys like Small L-Shift, L-Enter and <> available separately? I wouldn't mind getting a full US set plus the above three keys.

First thing I see the Legends in this screen are much bigger and central than in your photo :)
What I miss in this screen is:
the right alt is an Alt Gr
shift + 1 = ! (I dont see this key in the screen)
The third options are missing on the following keys:
alt gr + 2 = ²
alt gr + 3 = ³
alt gr + q = @
alt gr + e = €
alt gr + m = µ

PM is out, I want a complete 105 Keyset for germans

I really don't see the big deal of this group buy. It's not like I'm taking credit for coming up with this color scheme... It's just a color scheme for keys, not like I'm trying to sell and make money from patented pcb design etc that is rightfully theirs. If I have offended any one from OTD I apologize, I just wanted to open up these keys to the rest of the world.

I don't think they have to be offended, and if they are it'll be the most stupid offense; let's think about it, keycap color :-)
They should instead be proud to have set a trend...

Go on zaerst, good job.

I don't see how this would offend anyone. Credit was given to them for coming up with the color scheme. Technically, this color scheme was a happy accident by SP. Remember this color combo wasn't what the OTD guys ordered in the first place; SP messed it up but OTD guys ended up liking it. OTD originally intended to make Wyse key cap replicas. Props and credit to OTD but we're not breaking any laws here.

A complete 87 key set consists of:
Base set !!~Does not contain any arrow keys or ctrl alt shifts~!!
Ctrl Alt Shift set
Arrow set

Now I'm confused. The complete set consists of the above but it doesn't inlcude ctrl alt shifts..but then it's listed right below. I thought the complete set consists of the base set, ctrl/alt/shift set and arrow set all combined.

btw, for all those asking about payment etc, dont worry about it yet. Once ordering is closed I will collect money and submit the order. I do it this way mainly because if something were to happen, like not enough orders etc, I wouldnt have to go through the trouble of doing all the refunds for people who paid already.

What happens if there's enough people for the standard set but not enough for modifiers or arrow keys because people are splitting their votes? Would you combine those orders and just pick one (I hope you pick the RGB modifiers and yellow arrows because that's the ones I want! MORE COLOR!)

I think any of the keys you could switch between your filco and noppoo are fair game. The ones that might give some issue are the unconventional sized ones like the modifier buttons (right shift, right alt, etc)

Don't understand why you'd wanna change out the noppoo keys though. Sure they look sketch but they feel great! :-)

Hopefully in 2 weeks we will have enough orders, if so I will place order. Currently lead time is 4 weeks for SP to manufacture plus 2-3 days to get to me. Finally depending on where you live 4-7 days to get to you.

So lets say I order on the 20th of may (the plan), you could expect to get them the week of June 26th.

Well phisically it's L-shaped return + short left shift + one extra key on the L row + one extra key on the Z row.
But what about the legends? ISO UK is the most similar to US ANSI, so is that going to be the choice? It has a different symbol on the key left to the one, though.
Title: [MO] Blue on Gray/ Dark Gray
Post by: gilgam on Sun, 08 May 2011, 03:10:59
L shaped return
small left shift
two keys :
row 2
row 3

the legend is a problem

what bout blank keys
or if you don't know i'm in for
µ/* row 3  :-)
<> row 2 (that one is fine for evey iso layout no ?)
Title: [MO] Blue on Gray/ Dark Gray
Post by: Grond on Sun, 08 May 2011, 04:00:46
That's not easy at all.
<> row 2 is fine for most languages, but not ISO UK.
And each layout has different symbols on the right of P, L and M.
Also, the symbols on the number row can be different from language to language (for example on italian layout I got "&" above the 6).
So it's actually a mess. Blank keys could be an option, but to fit every symbol we should get 10/12 of those. And a number row with the numbers only? I don't know. It seems a bit nonsense to put so many blanks on a double shot set!

for me the number row is liked most alpha keys ...

so why not a L shaped return and a small shift and two blank keycaps (row 2 and row 3) just to fill the gaps from a base set on an iso keyboard?
i think i'll put alpha keys from another set ...

This options way of doing this group buy is not working as well as I wished. If we dont get a lot more orders for A, C, and E, they will need to be canceled and we will only have one option for this buy. At only 10 orders the price is just too high. Even at 20 its still fairly high, doesnt start to make sense until at least 30 sets.

Post by: Robbly on Sun, 08 May 2011, 20:26:36
I originally ordered Base + B + C + E.

I'm okay with changing my ctrl/shift/alt and arrow key options if they are cancelled, but if the numpad option is removed I'll have to bow out of this group buy.

I think you would be locking out more users by cancelling E than any of the other options. Are the tenkeyless buyers willing to wait a little more time for more numpad buyers to order?

Ditto that

Assuming that there were no overlapping orders, the number of orders in A & D could be 'coerced' into joining options B & C for the 'greater good' for this MO to proceed as soon as possible.

But then again, I don't mind waiting 1-2 more weeks just to get a better pricing.

Cancelling A & D or combining them with their counterparts can make sense if not enough people are ordering one of the sets. E though I think is fine to leave as is since that's tenkey buttons so it's not like cancelling them will make B & C's numbers go up any more. I don't even want to order E as I only have a tenkeyless, just mentioning it for peeps here who want tenkey, no harm in letting them try.

if you add on the standard set an ISO enter key, small shift, couple \| 1 size replacements I think we could have more interest since you can have a set which you can use on any layout. But it's too late maybe to do that.

Maybe get rid of the options and set a fixed base 87 set with an optional 10key?  this way if the 104ers want in they might have to be willing to pay the up cost of the 10key set.

Thats why I suggested to integrate some keys (4: small left shift, L enter, |\, and key near the left shift) to the base set, so it's usable on both ANSI and ISO layout.

i wonder how much extra that would cost per set?  it doesnt seem like it would be much to add those 4 keys.  Is that really all it takes to make it usable?

I think he split it up originally to give people the options of different colored modifier keys (RGB vs grey/blue). Personally I'd just want him to go RGB/yellow arrow keys and match the picture in the first pic so we can all get the lower 50 person price, but that's because those are the options I want and I'm selfish. :-)

I would go along with what the group wants? can we vote for consensus rules for price breaks?

Just to be annoying and talking about that ISO thing

Why not ordering for future MO an ANSI/ISO keyset with ansi base and these 4 keys included in the price ?
it won't increase the total price so much and you'll get more order so a lower price due to the higher number.
What do you think about this ?

Very Sorry to do this, but this GROUP BUY is officially CANCELED!

This did not work out as I planned, mainly the way I tried to do it with a few different options.
However future group buys should go much smoother, I've learned a lot more this time around than my first single key buy.
Just because this did not work out doesnt mean I won't be trying again soon (although a diff colour scheme).

Look for a diff MO from me soon. It will be ONE option, with maybe a numpad addon.
I'm thinking black on very dark gray, something Harrison was considering doing.
Also I've gotten @10 canceled orders last 2 days, another reason this is done.

Please don't forget the few ISO keys (not as option but in the main set), I believe you will attract much more interest.

if you did just 2 options of full or 10keyless then you should have vote of stepped or non stepped caps and other rather minute stuff people would care about

Post by: MadSage on Thu, 12 May 2011, 22:57:40
Please, please, please do another attempt at this. As sad as it is to people who won't get their option, in the interest of the majority you ought to consolidate it to just one option -- the most popular. This way will make the most people happy.

If you do it this way, I believe the most popular options were the base set + B + C, I think you will get enough interest to keep prices low. And it would make me very, very happy.

While I'm sad to see this die, I can't justify dropping this much money on a set that will be missing keys that I'd need to get a full set for the board I'm wanting to outfit. To those that are grumpy with people that want ISO or numpaf, just think how you'd feel if the base set only included keys that wouldn't fit or fill up your board (like L enter, caps angled for rows, etc).

I'd love to see this happen, but in my case it would need to be German ISO + tenkey. Anything shy of that would leave my board looking like it had teh mange.
