Title: GTFO escape key [designs]
Post by: DWishR on Sat, 10 September 2011, 04:56:31: Anyone interested in a white lettering on red keycap escape key with the letters "GTFO" on it? Presumably we could tack this onto round 4 or do it separately for speed?

Current design:

I did somewhere in that megathread.

Actually I suggested TWO keys.

TITS

GTFO

Made me LOL for real, thx Ripster :)

Post by: N8N on Sat, 10 September 2011, 10:13:44: Actually, should it not be one key

TITS
GTFO

default action being "TITS" then the alternate action would be "GTFO" :)

Post by: Ragnorock on Sat, 10 September 2011, 13:22:05: ^ I'd be okay with that because if they did it'd give us more leverage to deal with them, but that's the businessman in me talking.

Yeah just email sales@solutionsinplastic.com. This is what I did to combine my red ESC order with stuff from pimpmykeyboard.

To answer your last question the Group Buy 3 started last November/December. Started shipping June 2011. I haven't heard a target date for Group Buy 4 or how distribution will be handled.

Yeah, I'm aware of the long setup for the doubleshot massives, which is why if people want them fast we could do this separately. :] My current plan is to get a WASD semi-custom and then replace the keys with doubleshots (and maybe jellies) over time.

Since there's no simpler way to ask, they say they're non functional, and I take that to mean that they won't fit any keyboard because they don't have any mounting points, though I see little reason why that would be worthwhile... by chance are they cherry mx like the rest of what we get from SP?

Nope. The PANIC and @#&^! keys are MX-compatible, but the rest are non-functional novelty caps. Ripster has a wiki (http://geekhack.org/showwiki.php?title=Island:9617) on how to mod them to fit MX keyboards, though.

Post by: bavman on Sun, 11 September 2011, 14:41:55: How much would this cost if we got the "tits" and "gtfo" buttons custom made with double shots from fentek?
Title: GTFO escape key [designs]
Post by: hashbaz on Sun, 11 September 2011, 15:04:47: Are we seriously talking about a TITS key? I'm in for GTFO only.
Title: GTFO escape key [designs]
Post by: hashbaz on Sun, 11 September 2011, 15:06:59: I don't see how they're related ... am I missing something?

edit: oic, tits or gtfo. I'm still only interested in GTFO (as a key cap at least)
Title: GTFO escape key [designs]
Post by: bavman on Sun, 11 September 2011, 15:12:35: i would be in for both, if we only got one also that would be acceptable
Title: GTFO escape key [designs]
Post by: whiskerBox on Mon, 12 September 2011, 16:11:12: This needs to happen, to funny not too. Maybe we could make some mock ups(.svg file) and figure out a color scheme next?
Title: GTFO escape key [designs]
Post by: whiskerBox on Mon, 12 September 2011, 20:31:57: [ATTACH=CONFIG]26491[/ATTACH]

Maybe if we pad print? If this offends some one pm and I will remove it.
Title: GTFO escape key [designs]
Post by: bavman on Mon, 12 September 2011, 20:53:56: How much would a pad printed keycap vs a double shot one cost?
Title: GTFO escape key [designs]
Post by: hashbaz on Mon, 12 September 2011, 21:05:22: I remember reading that pad printing is actually more expensive.
Title: GTFO escape key [designs]
Post by: whiskerBox on Mon, 12 September 2011, 21:25:10: A double shot would be cooler anyways and we could have two versions GTFO and TITS/GTFO. Whats the minimum Requirement to place an order?

Any color combination ideas? Fonts?

Post by: whiskerBox on Tue, 13 September 2011, 21:30:01: yes the tits thing is kind of important. and its tits first then if that doesnt work GTFO
Title: GTFO escape key [designs]
Post by: DWishR on Tue, 13 September 2011, 22:31:28: I figured 'tits' would be the standard and GTFO the modified. Isn't the modified usually on top?
Title: GTFO escape key [designs]
Post by: whiskerBox on Tue, 13 September 2011, 22:42:07: 2nd that rip
Title: GTFO escape key [designs]
Post by: Ragnorock on Wed, 14 September 2011, 13:34:44: Yeah tits should be on top since its Tits or GTFO.

I like it.

Tempts me to assign a macro to the key with that legend that autotypes that out lol.

Post by: DWishR on Thu, 15 September 2011, 14:28:25: Updated the original post with designs. Went ahead and put TITS on top. We likey?
Title: GTFO escape key [designs]
Post by: itlnstln on Thu, 15 September 2011, 14:53:56: I don't really do novelty keys (I do not have a red Esc key), but the GTFO key is pretty funny. I don't care for the "Tits" key. I get plenty of that IRL at home.
Title: GTFO escape key [designs]
Post by: DWishR on Wed, 21 September 2011, 01:41:07: I'm only counting 7-8 orders so far... seems lite for a custom key?

I missed this earlier, I assumed SP since that seems to be what everyone goes through. A reason for fentek?

Post by: enoy21 on Wed, 21 September 2011, 10:08:07: Tha tis too funny. That's exactly what I put on my design from WSAD. I just didn't actually go forward with it due to the uneeded extra cost and lack of coloring.

My design is STILL the best.

I think people could live with that it doesnt actually say tits

What are the requirements for the SVG you want? black on clear?

I just downloaded inkscape again, so I may have a crack at it.

Post by: TheSoulhunter on Sun, 16 October 2011, 05:50:28: Why not a full F row set?
We already have SVGs for troll and awesome face,
others like fawkes, triforce or the clover should be easy to do!

I believe black on clear is what Signature Plastics usually works with. So that would be great. I'm thinking we should go ahead and switch to "(.Y.)" on top.

I don't know that we could build a full F row that would satisfy everyone since there's no real theme to create it around.

Theme? Simply adding other famous memes works for me...
Title: GTFO escape key [designs]

(.Y.) or GTFO, RTFM, PEBKAC, FTFY, TL;DR...

Instead of tits, how about "human mammary gland"?

Yeah a GTFO wouldn't be bad = p.
Title: GTFO escape key [designs]
Post by: hashbaz on Sun, 11 December 2011, 03:58:30: I was thinking maybe we could do several Internet acronyms. ROFL, ZOMG, WTF, SRSLY, OHAI, GTFO, STFU, etc. Maybe as a set for the PgUp/PgDown cluster?

On the other hand interest in this kind of thing might have been consumed by the meme buy.
Title: GTFO escape key [designs]
Post by: hazeluff on Sun, 11 December 2011, 09:42:47: I think it's two completely different set of things. I'd still get some of these acronyms. Tho My keyboard is running out of keys to place all these things.
