Firefly’s big mystery: Keyboard sleuth tracks down Serenity’s keyboard (http://www.geek.com/news/fireflys-big-mystery-keyboard-sleuth-tracks-down-washs-keyboard-1586408/)
Are you doing a browncoat or purple-belly theme?
I think this would be a keycap set my wife would approve of!
.... providing I don't tell her how much I spent..
we want to see a mockup!

Not trying to be a prude, but hiding things from your lifemate is not a very good way to be. Just sayin'Yeah don't worry about that, it was more of a sarcastic remark. 1) she has a card to my account 2) I earn good money and don't drink so I can buy what I want :p

My only issue is that this keyboard layout and color scheme would be good for the Enthusiast but what about the regular Firefly fan?
If I do a theme, I want it to capture elements for both groups...since the Group Buy will be for the general public and not just GeekHackdom

Define "Regular firefly fan" :P
This is just for inspiration, similar color scheme, maybe a few special legends, and the set should look shiny.

Regular Firefly Fan = Not a GeekHaxxor Fanatic...translation: not that interested in trying to stay true to what was on the ship's keyboard, but would want something that says Firefly...
...and would not say "Hi, I am from the [gorram] Alliance, and I'm here to help. Do you like my purple-belly keycap theme..."
Come to think of it, the Alliance has no need for their own keycap kind...they would just steal everyone elses and use them. After all its for the common good, right!?

Hey, the keyboard in the photo is Wash's. And for the authenticity, the dilemma is similar to our LCARS set, where the question is, is the keyboard something out of the series or a novelty the producers would sell for 10-year olds.
Interested! Just no brown please, because then it will look like that Java one. Keep us posted! I just got my keyboard, so it has all original keys. I would love for my first set to be a firefly one!
Cautious optimism from this angle -- I always want to see mockups before I commit to something.
In the meantime, for your viewing pleasure, I added a new sticker to my truck yesterday.Show Image(http://l.mashby.com/CVH3+)
Yes, I put it inside of the dent on the bumper. :p

What I'd really like to see is a silhouette of Serenity on a cap. Is that in the works?

You and others have asked, and I deliver:

Now, these are not all of them, and as you can see there are variants to some, please give me feedback on those.

really wonderful posters. I love the umbrella one. wondering if it could be simplified for doubleshot
Working with such detailed icons in double-shot is very hard. You need a lot of work in the design phase. Have a look at the Skull Squadron set, even the simple red logo had to be simplified a bit. My suggestion would be to go dye-sub for more creativity freedom.
Regarding key profile, in the long run I believe that DCS is your best bet, no doubt about it. Row 1 and WASD if you want.
That being said there's the Granite set running right now that is going pretty well, if you can set your GB quickly you could make take advantage of the wave and I would be pleased to push it in the granite thread (we even already have the blusun logo).

put a "Fruity Oaty Bar" key and I'm sold :)That's what I want to !

Jayne's hat or Wash's dinosaur is sweet, not sure about Kaylee too : The strawberry should be nice but the umbrella has a great drawing.
I don't really like Simon's glasses, too anecdotal, same for Zoe's.
Nevertheless, I'm on board Capt'n Tight Pants !

Color me naive, but someone had to explain that one to me. And now I wish I'd never asked... :-[
I have amended the initial post, but I am also including mock ups here...

I also mentioned themes in my modified opener of this IC. I am planning on doing black on black modifiers, but the different themed letter, numbers, etc.
I hope they are thick PTB and dye subed

I bet they are not final but I'll point the obvious anyway... some of the legends don't seem properly centered :/

I don't think SP can dyesub the side of the keycap.
IMHO the umbrella is a bit odd in black whereas the other keys uses coloured icons. Glad to see a much readable Jayne key (was too low in contrast)
Tomorrow I will ask my browncoats friends about legends, in case they have other suggestions to represent characters (Joss's hardfans who are very creative)
interested...maybe just in the spacebar perhaps
The umbrella is supposely green yellow and red in the show so one of them with a preference for a bright yellow since it's not a colour you ever used for other icons.IMHO the umbrella is a bit odd in black whereas the other keys uses coloured icons.
Give me an idea of a color, what would you think?
So, I should make the spacebars separate from the other keycaps?I'm not interested in space bars even she's nice but splitting an humble GB like this one is generally not a great idea.
I'm mostly interested in the spacebars, I'd prefer to be able to buy them separately.

The yellow and red was nice but as you said, too much details in comparison of the whole icons.
Of course the pink is Kaylee's colour ! strawberry, her dress… I don't know how I missed that.
For shepherd Book, a Bible could be more obvious : "River, you can't fix the Bible, it fixes you."
The Glasses for Simon are too anecdotic, I don't remember wearing them after the pilot Serenity. Instead I suggest a syringe or a surgery knife, something medical that he's almost the one to use.
For Zoe, I'm not convinced about the iron knuckles but I have nothing better in mind :(
This is coming together nicely. Really liking this set.
I know a lot of people, myself included, flip our spacebars. For that reason, you may want to enquire if SP can do the side printing on the flipped side as well. TechKeys did that with their PBT Spacebar (http://techkeys.us/collections/pbt/products/gh-spacebar) and I bought both of them.
Might not be possible, or might not be worth it, but figured I'd ask. :cool:

Wha.....!? But I thought you said:What I'd really like to see is a silhouette of Serenity on a cap. Is that in the works?
So, I made a Silhouette keycap, not interested in that?
I am -- I missed the fact that the caps were all available in black on black.
Why do people do that? What is with inverting the spacebar? I don't mind making it a separate tier for flipped only spacebars, though I am not sure how many would want to buy them...

If I end up buying the set (which I suppose depends on how it looks in the end), I would buy both versions of the spacebar if you also made a flipped one. :thumb:

Technically, the 'Black on Black' will be Dark Dark Grey, because SP said that when they do Black Dye-Sub on Black PBT it does not show up at all.
I agree that it makes sense but isn't it irrelevant since this is a DSA set or like the ISO enter key there is no mold for DSA family in PBT ?Why do people do that? What is with inverting the spacebar? I don't mind making it a separate tier for flipped only spacebars, though I am not sure how many would want to buy them...
The bottom edge on SP's DCS spacebar is rather "sharp" in many people's opinion. Flipping the spacebar makes it look odd, but it feels much better. In my estimation, it angles the face of the key to match the angle of your thumb.
How many people like enough to buy a custom novelty spacebar? I suppose we'll find out. :))
Help!? SP says I need to limit the phrases on the Spacebars to 2 inches or less... :-[
Give me some ideas on what to change them to, please...
:-X
I've been selling all my novelty key caps, but these sets are too hard to resist!
Nice work 00zeRO!
Have you looked at SP's doubleshot PBT before? It has quite some bleed on it
I wish I had this kind of response to the Matrix 'caps...I want to post that group buy, but I fear it will flop...not that many Matrix fans out there...
