[IC] full PBT (spacebar included), gray or beige set

[rowdy]

Probably a bit late now, but it might be worth putting "DSA" somewhere in the thread title.

[jdeblese]

Also, if you’re drawing inspiration from Apple’s symbol for the Alt/Option key, and for Home/End/PgUp/PgDn/Delete, you may also want to look at their Caps Lock symbol, which is a shift arrow w/ an additional rectangle beneath; to me it makes more logical sense than the downward pointing arrow.

I like that Apple caps lock symbol as well, although I probably wouldn't go so far as to say that it's more logical.

[ideus]

The count has passed the 100 interested ghers.

[riotonthebay]

I see that Pure Grey and Charcoal are very close in the poll. In sincerely hope that Matt3o goes with his gut and not with the mob and kicks Pure Grey to the curb  )

[Matt3o]

I'd actually like to have both. That would be totally feasible. Maybe we could add the second color combo if the first reaches 100 pieces sold.

A more rational icon kit



if you have suggestions please speak now before it's too late

I will add more key sizes but the icons should be all there.

If I could suggest anything it would be to add a top row with a power symbol

charcoal is rising... better stop the voting

[ideus]

Have you thought in a MOQ for this set?

[PhineasRex]

Working on the icon set, there's really a lot of work to do. Some are too thick others too thin, some rounded other squared... gosh

matt, u didn't want the scroll lock's padlock to be on capslock?

I like how the lock is anmbiguous, so you could use it as any kind of lock key.

I'm glad because I voted for Charcoal  .  This would be fantastic, done in Charcoal.  You see Matt3o when you rely on democracy to decide the outcome you end up pissed off when it heads out in other directions  .

Maybe next time you'll run a pure, far right fascist style of Group Buy?

Who said that this is not a fascist style GB?

Because he gave choices for people to vote for.  Under a fascist regime there are no choices ever given.  It's the regime's way or death  .

I like charcoal way more than pure gray, but all mockups are gray now and colors codes are pretty much selected.

Anyway there's always the option to have 3 colors. So idea would be: if base pure gray reaches 100 set sold, we add charcoal. (unless charcoal wins by a long distance)

Don't listen to me, I'm just the old geyser sitting in the corner of a smoke filled pub, getting drunk with scotch and beer.  What would I know about design colours and whatnot, I am not qualified to answer any questions relating to that here on Geekhack  ) .

[Matt3o]

I listen to everybody... and try to compromise. I hope everybody noticed that most of the suggestions have been applied to a certain degree.

Definitely would rather have pure gray since there is no chance in hell of getting Beige. 

However I will get whichever color gets made

[stoic-lemon]

I voted beige, but seeing those vintage boards with grey has made me realize I don't really mind either way.

[Matt3o]

Updated nerdom kit



Unfortunately I will probably have to remove the thundercats logo (the lines are too thin) and also the Amiga A if I can't find the "real" logo. I'm not fond about the smiley too.

Looking forward to receiving your suggestions.

[stoic-lemon]

I really hope we don't loose the A. Is it hard to find the logo? I don't really like the smiley either.

Another suggestion

More

[Matt3o]

the atom is a good idea!

All we need about Amiga "A" is the font name I guess. It's close to Georgia, but not quite.

[stoic-lemon]

The logo font is apparently a modified Times New Roman. According to http://www.amigahistory.co.uk/logo.html:

Above this was the newly redesigned AMIGA logo, in a custom-Times New Roman font.

The A's on the keyboard are italicized perhaps?

[Matt3o]

Someone says Bodoni others Garamond, but I believe it's a modified version of either of them.

The best would be to have a very high resolution picture of the original. I don't have an amiga at hand now though

[skuko]

voted for charcoal beige, but honestly, I WILL TAKE WHATEVER!

[ideus]

Any chance to add this icon to the Nerdom set?

we already have the x__x Mac which is pretty nice

Another proposal 

[juDas_iScariot]

Charcoal are nice, but due to black font I think not as nice as grey. Ngeee...

[Matt3o]

Updated kits. Please review (note: I placed a couple of errors in the legends to see if you are alert)

Please review carefully the Ergodox and give feedback (it will be available in blank with more colors)









The colors are GKK + GDE (= NEUTRAL GRAY)

Colored second legend to be evaluated.

[Loligagger]

Would it be possible to switch one or two legends for a single order in a kit? For instance, swapping DEL on the 2x ergodox key for Fn? I can see this being a headache if everyone wanted some slight changes, so no surprise if it's not possible.

Also, a red 1.5x escape or a blue 2x enter key for the ergodox kits would be nice.

[wuqe]

Lowercase shift in pro kit? Also, all the RGB mods are lowercase...

The math symbols (divide, multiply x) on the number pad are questionable to my eye.

Asterisk in mono-legend is too big (bulky?) to match its compatriots.

No dot in the mono-legend; is that because there's one in the number pad already?

[DamienG]

The mistake is the use of "UPPER CASE" instead of "Normal case" for caps with words on them ;-)

yep

I kinda like them...

Asterisk in mono-legend is too big (bulky?) to match its compatriots.

A long work awaits me with the legends. The icon kit and the nerdom are almost final, everything else has to be revised. Now it is important to define what goes where.

Yep. Mean, isn't it

okay okay it was too easy

[blighty]

Maybe this was covered somewhere,  but is there a 6u pbt space bar (for the winkey 1800s)?

[justnits]

hmm...almost half the ergodox kit's legend doesn't fit mine...

[Elrick]

Also don't forget the Leopold FC660M wonder.

Did everyone see the vote count today totally EQUAL between plain jane grey and Charcoal.  Go Charcoal Fever  .  For the first time democracy actually works.

[ideus]

The Leo can be covered either with the Pro Kit or with the two Icon kits. Plus the base set of course.

[jdeblese]

hmm...almost half the ergodox kit's legend doesn't fit mine...

That's always gonna be the case, considering how variable ergodox layouts are. Ten keys match mine, but I have two 2.0x vertical shifts unaccounted for...

The hope is it'll cover most parts of most people's layouts, together with the other mod sets. Are you missing layer switch keys, by any chance?

[ideus]

I think the mono legend kit is missing a single period key and a back slash on a dark key.

yeap, layer keys for the 1.5x
for the 2x, 3 of them matches mine, backspace, enter, space. instead of del, i have alt.

i don't think matt would let us choose which legend we want from the ergodox kit and fill the rest with blanks

Its definitely tricky trying to cover all configurations while keeping the cost to a minimum. I said over at DT that layers are the only important ones I'm missing. Instead of the 2x del I'll probably end up mapping mine to layer toggle. But I dont mind if the 2x del key doesn't match as that's arguably the most common layout.

I think it would be useful to get a big list of configurator printouts, then add all the modifiers to a database so future GB organisers can know what the most common setup will be.

quite a good idea to put up our config in a thread.

if you can't find an agreement, I'll revert to full blank.

Regarding colors.

As much as I like the charcoal IF we are going to have multi colored legends the best option is PURE GRAY. The only legend color we could use with charcoal is black. So pure gray is more flexible and would let us have third legends in blue/green or red for example (for international layouts).

What do you think?

[StylinGreymon]

I don't think the nerd kit gels at all with the rest of the set, what with everything else looking so simple and bold.
Just m'two cents.

Okay then can you apply all Charcoal on the F1 to F12 set?  Make a lighter Grey on the F1 to F12 set as well?  Just want a choice for applying 2 different colour codes for this area.
