Well, sure. Also, I plan on giving you credit for your input when I do the write up for this GB. The EMP design was orignally yours, I just tweaked it. Plus, you have added to my ideas significantly. I would totally be interested in a snazzy banner for There is No Spoon...

Ok, I had to do it. I just did a quick mockup of a TKL Matrix set using the Matrix font at dafont.com.

I'm throwing money at the screen.  Let me know when it's enough.

Okay, so the initial PMK group buy was a bust. Should I relaunch it now but with only the Pills keycaps? Or should I wait and relaunch later? Input, please!?

 :confused:

I think the only viable way to run a novelty GB is to combine all of your designs!

If the total price is attractive, people will buy the set even if they only liked 75% of the keycaps.

In my opinion you should chose a high tier so nobody is afraid to commit. Either they get the keys for a good price (~3$) or the GB fails.

I think it's worth trying it that way  :thumb:

So, 100 MOQ? I dunno...50 would keep them at $9.00 for the two PC keycaps...seems reasonable...

I was only interested in the glowy keys.  $13 for the set of 4 seemed perfectly reasonable to me.  I liked them all.

Sucks that it didn't tip.

I wanted the rabbit more than I wanted the pills. Also my keyboard is ANSI150 so I'd have to put the 1.25 keys somewhere odd ... or more likely on my ergodox.

Fortunately the glowing one didn't tip, I would have had to shell out the $45 dollars per legend ($180.00) in order for the set to be made. That cost is put into the first 25 which was why the parent deal was so much. All my future GB's will be separate parent deals.

I wanted the rabbit more than I wanted the pills. Also my keyboard is ANSI150 so I'd have to put the 1.25 keys somewhere odd ... or more likely on my ergodox.

What size would have been good for your modifiers on your ANSI150? 1x1.5?

Also, I am thinking of running the group buy again now, but this time having a single Rabbit key by itself with a glowing variant with it, the Red and Blue pills in 1x1.25 PC, and then a version of Red and Blue pills in 1x1 Red and Blue ABS. Like how they did the banner keycaps below:

73636-0

Though I am not sure I want the same profile...maybe Row 4 DCS 1x1...

After PMK now has a limitation on the amount of votes before an IC can go live as a GB, I have been in talks with Keypop, and well, all the designs that were from the Matrix busted Group Buy on PMK will soon be available through Keypop on their website!
