kya~~~ :-*

Toxic with thick pbt ds, miam, almost sad that it would be hard to get many since there was a gb already!

[Alessandro]

Where's coffee on cream in the voting places at the moment?

I love all of these sets, I'm going to have to buy more Pokers for them...

[IvanIvanovich]

Out of respect, I won't enter Toxic at this time unless danieluc tells me they want to switch to GMK and join up with us on this. If not, maybe we can run a GMK version at another time.

Coffee on cream has only 22 votes out of 250 entries. I don't think it will win this time.

[Alessandro]

Darn. Oh well, I'll still be buying lots of things.

Hey Flynn, what are your thoughts on profiles for the del/end/pgdn/insert/home/pgup cluster for the base set?

I've said this before in other threads and maybe this one too.

I just want to push for the 3 keys that are absolutely necessary for an 1800 though, and are also useful to a number of other keyboards as well. That being the 1.75x right shift, a 1x 0 (zero) "B" profile and  1x  - (minus) "D" profile

As much as i'd love to see every single key available in proper 1800 profile, I don't expect that to happen or other people to pay for it. If del/end/pgdn are in "D" profile instead of the "E" profile an 1800 needs, its not the end of the world as at least you have a usable set. And this profile requirement is unique to the 1800's

[Dianoda]

Current polling, trend on colorway took a big change. Dolch is still currently in the lead, but only just with SkiData and TA tied for 2nd by slim margins with handarbiet now in third. Language choice remains fairly steady with US, GB, DE and ES still in the majority in that order. SF and NO are likely to happen, FR is getting there, everything else is still up in the air.

I, for one, would buy both skidata (because awesome and I'd love some orange on gray mods to mix with the blue on white PBT replica set I have on order) and handarbiet (because colors) should they be offered... so this could get expensive for me.

Miami looks pretty cool but those gray mods just don't sit well with me.

NEED.

I don't believe that danielucf would hop on only because the delay would be several months. That being said, maybe one of you guys should pm him? Either way I'm more for the Orange set. Go Geekhack!

Cheers,

Yea the grey of the Miami set really needs to go. It's holding it back!

I couldn't remember what the original mod keys look like, so I made it look how I thought best.

what color do you think would be better for the gray keys?

Tis not 100% perfect yet! Need some more input if we should try some darker teal, or try to use the grey as well.

[precarious]

this is kind of what i'd imagined coffee & cream looking like, need a better render of that and to get it made ;00

When the brown stands out like that, makes it tasty.

that does look good too. My images don't work too good for changing colors once exported. I'll make up a coffee & cream one here that renders better in a little bit

[jdcarpe]

White on brown (sphericals?) would be nice for a later buy.

That creamy color just looks like old, yellowed keycaps to me. Wouldn't take those if someone gave them to me for free.

[Alessandro]

Cream on brown mods please.

Looks awesome!

[asura]

Been playing about a bit, here are a few of my favourites.

ashes in the fall



coffee and cream (colours taken from lysol's image as accurately as I can manage)



PCB green on blue



bayside blue on jet silver metallic (obviously the metallic isn't, but this is for the E-BNR32 fans out there)



amber two-tone



la mer (bonus points if you can identify the source)



miami (it seems obligatory at this point)

y u no liek?

[asura]

Because I'm so serious.


It's just not a combination I'd go with - I used to wear indigo and yellow, and I quite like the midnight blue on purple now that I see it, but there's just something about that combination that crawls in behind my eyes and scratches at my hind-brain.

This Coffee & Cream used the color's from precarious' post:


I think the more gray Coffee & Cream colors in asura's post look better though. so i'll re-do it later with the colors from asura's post

[Alessandro]

Oh, my, god. Why have only 22 people voted for this!?

Late, I know, but just want to chip in and agree with this, though my 1800 needs the ISO flavour bits too.

yeah, i was having a hard time finding an appropriate color so i just kind of picked one since it was a rush job.  you should remake it with the color from asura's post.

[asura]

That's not coffee and cream... that's banana and chocolate

Which is kin'a nice too, but not so subtle as the C&C

[precarious]

silly people who don't have their monitors color calibrated properly ^_6

also note that a 2d mock-up with certain colors doesn't necessarily appear the same way in person!!11one

This. We need some sweet 3D models to get a better gauge of how it would look.

ok here it is remade with the colors from asura's post, which look much better for Coffee & Cream

I once saw a keyboard with the colors (purple and lime green) of EVA01 from Neon Genesis Evangelion. I'm not a huge fan, but the keyboard looked fricking awesome!
Purple keys, lime green modifiers, see pic below. What do you think?

Edit1: Found it, Diatec: http://www.diatec.co.jp/products/det.php?prod_c=741
But with green modifiers!

Or maybe also include a bit orange?
For reference, see this pic:
 

Edit2: Did some quick & cheap mockups.

[wasabah]

Btw, would it maybe be possible to include an Ergodox set?
Blank ones would be ok.

[asura]

Problem is the MOQ of 400 - haven't checked massdrop in the last day or so, but it was at about 120 units.  I'm not sure if the 400 is per key, or per set. If the former then it's a possibility (if lysol's willing) if the latter then that's a no - even if everyone got the parts for a second set, it'd still be just over half way...

[Jmneuv]

have to echo the warning about color calibration, things can look vastly different irl;
especially when using wide gamut monitors

[Alessandro]

I'm using a Dell U23 at stock. The coffee on cream that's more yellow looks too yellow, but I feel the second one doesn't look yellow enough.

It's going to be hard to decide on a colour when we all have different monitors. :/
