[Elrick]

Nostalgia set. or I like OCKC (Orange & Charcoal KeyCaps)

OCKC...   nice.

Thanks! Also, I'm quite interested (since I haven't said anything yet) OCKC for the win! I like it a lot more than my nostalgia idea. I'm glad you like it as well. I shall call this that from now on... or SmallFry's OCKC (kidding, mostly)

[Xerobasix]

Color me interested as well.. especially if the mods are charcoal on orange...

[Elrick]

Why not, it's your Group Buy, hence call it anyway you like.  "SmallFry's OCKC" is all right. 

There's plenty of interest for this Colour Combo so you can easily get to 50 plus on orders alone.
 
I'll definitely pick up 2 (two) for now plus a Tsangan Kit, if available.

[fl0w3n]

Awe I was really into the white/orange too, but the OCKC looks great too.

I'm still in for a set if it's OCKC, I was just in for possibly two before

[SwissFTW]

Yea, count me in for a set of 86 OCKC for sure.

[elton5354]

In if the colour of the text in the orange keys are grey and not white!

[pmh1410]

all agree with you and i like SP Double shot more than Qwerkey. I have Qwerkey keycap, it's not beautiful and it's engrave ABS keycap.

[Sinzz]

poo, I was hoping for a OWKC. but apparently OCKC is more popular and in higher demand... D:

still probably get it though, I do love me some orange.

[DarkShot]

Just wondering, will this Key-set get a name/title for it?

I wasn't sure what to call it but definitely wanted a name. However,

I like OCKC (Orange & Charcoal KeyCaps)

I'm diggin' OCKC. Consider it the name of this set!

Also we need inversed mods not the white on orange...icky. the orange could stand to be darker if we can get it close to HACK ORANGE color that'd be cool. The greys should be about the same as the Graphite set IMHO.

I haven't made a full out mockup. As per the OP, the legends on the mods were NOT going to be white. As for the colours I'll be ordering a colour ring from SP to work that out and for other possible GBs in the future.

Maybe you can consider adding in a G & H and maybe modifiers (2) in reverse colors.

I had considered it. I wasn't sure how much interest this would garner though. Doing that might be easier than doing the custom Super mods however as I do believe they have a single 'geekhack' mold for a 1.25 mod, and could do a single mod, Esc, G and H ala the cherry one that I've seen floating around.


The next thing that we gotta figure out:

Legends

Which ones do we wanna use?

[pasph]

in for modifiers in reverse colors

I too would like the reverse color

[Elrick]

Damn....sorry DarkShot, it's your Group Buy.  SmallFry suckered me in when I made the mistake that it was his GB.

But then again, it's always been easy to Fool a Fool.

[danielucf]

If you can use the DDR arrow legends from oiler in the orange and charcoal I might change my mind and be in.

lol change something from generic to DDR arrows so you MIGHT join

That is what I typed. At 7am it seemed like a "might" that more implied I was in while having an out if the DDR couldn't be done. I don't know, I drank a lot of beers before the UCF game last night give me a break

I wasn't trying to fool you! Many apologies!

No no worries. Easy to mix things up.

Sounds good. So two 1.25 mods (I'm assuming Super) Orange on Charcoal base and the "G" and "H" keys Charcoal on Orange base?

If you can use the DDR arrow legends from oiler in the orange and charcoal I might change my mind and be in.

Nah, not feeling it for the moment. If there's interest and it doesn't look too bad (and I get permision) I'll reconsider.

[Kaysa]

Interesting color matching, the legend on the modifiers: capslock, shift and BS without lettering are quite brilliant too.
Quite interested in getting one set, if it reaches 150 sets price range(it be lower than 49.70), might get 2 sets.
Legends is one thing, how about the position of the legends?
Normally the characters positioned at the upper left,
any chances of positioning it the legends in the middle? with some thicker font...

[Xerobasix]

Obviously the mock up isn't final, but what about the tilde and vertical bar/backslash key? I'm personally a fan of having those match the letter keys.

I'm still debating on the positioning of the legends for the mods as centered mods look a little off as when the keys change size, they aren't aligned. The control, alt and super mods however look good centered IMO.

Obviously the mock up isn't final, but what about the tilde and vertical bar/backslash key? I'm personally a fan of having those match the letter keys.

I prefer that key to match the legends, hence why it's as such. Having it a different colour makes it stick out.

[SmallFry]

I'll have to hop on my computer and make some mockups of what I think we should get...

[alixinhzai]

it's perfect if we can wait a cherry lengend font

Nicely done.

[tjcaustin]

I'd rather have the other myself. /shrug

[esoomenona]

Hmmm.... seeing the charcoal on the orange kind of throws me off. Would it be possible to see an inversed mockup (charcoal mods)?

It's more of a black, but gets the idea started at least.

[kinruan]

i have to say it is ugly....I still want the orange/white set

[DarkShot]

Not feeling the darker orange. Lighter the orange, the better the contrast will be with the legends and the better it'll look overall.

I like it a bit more, though that might change with the changing of the correct colors on the legends (not all white).

Yeah, I agree with the lighter orange for contrast, just to see how it looks.

[mkawa]

the set ovoxo linked is one that is going to be offered in a special limited edition geekhack fundraising pack. i have made exactly 4 keys per set, and i would like those keys to be a 100% limited edition, never run again. as long as you can obey those two rules, i'm absolutely fine with this IC/GB

[esoomenona]

mkawa, are the colors in the picture ovoxo linked proper? Or are they darker in the picture than they actually are? Also, what is the fourth key (or is that a secret?)?

[mkawa]

they're a little lighter in person (the gray)

[mkawa]

fourth key is a mystery which i will give the following hint for: THICK PBT

oh, and the keys all match

but everything does when it's made with <3

-DAT KAWA

[remmeh]

i'd be in for charcoal/orange

[theultrazord]

What about a orange/white base replacement set like the lightpink replacement set that the valentine GB had. Sorry to be difficult but I really really want the orange and white =D.

When will this GH fund raising pack be offered for GB?

Good luck

Edit: or did I misunderstand 

[tjcaustin]

The right thread, but I think they're auctioning a model m first.

[SelektaM]

Hey guys!

This IC made me write my first post 

I am very new to mechanical keyboards and in the short time that I have been reading posts and stuff on geekhack yet make me really looking forward in participating here.
Since my first tenkeyless leopold will arrive soon^TM, some OCKC doubleshots would be matching pretty nicely to it. Call me interested!

Completely. I wasn't aware it was a special fundraiser, so I do apologize.

With that folks, inverted "G","H", and mods are out of the question for this group buy. I'm all for considering things, but these won't be happening.

I understand your discontent, but something like that probably won't happen in this GB. Having the Alpha keys orange on white with the mods charcoal on orange doesn't seem appealing to me, and to have the entire set strictly orange on white would be making an entirely new set. With Jil's, only the mod base colour was changed. The legends on both the alpha and mods stayed the same colours.

That's not to say that I won't consider doing a GB in the future for orange and white, it just won't happen this time around.

Cheers! So you know, the spacebar from this set won't fit on the Leopold as they use a non-standard sized spacebar if I recall correctly. Just giving you a heads up!

To everyone who has interest, feel free to make suggestions. So long as it's within reason I'm cool with making possible adjustments.

I still haven't received any feedback on legends, so if there's a specific set of legends that you know SP can use, drop a line and discuss!

For instance, danielucf made the suggestion to borrow the DDR legends from oilermaker for the arrows (ONLY if you're okay with it mate). Anyone have any ideas or interest in that?

[esoomenona]

I personally don't like the idea of the DDR arrows. If anything, I think they could be an addon kit.

[SwissFTW]

Agreed.

[theultrazord]

Put me down as interested in OCKC =D. I really just wanted the brighter orange anyway and that seems to be the overall desire from people.
