[GB] Retro Keyset
« on: Sun, 11 March 2018, 20:53:26 »

Group Buy Information:
The group buy will be running for 7 days from the 12/03/2018 till the 19/03/2018. Once the window is over I will be invoicing everyone by the evening of the 20/03/2018. We estimate it will take around 6-8 weeks from this for you to receive your set. I will be posting updates as they become available to me to keep you all informed.

My Role:
I'm a pretty new face around here on GeekHack but have been around the community for a while now and am very active on other platforms. I am running this Group Buy with the designer and our aim isn't to make profit from this Group Buy but to bring a solid well made and good looking set to you. If you have any questions regarding the logistics of the Group Buy please do post them here or contact me on other platforms (Reddit, Discord, Slack) and I will get back to you as quickly as I can. If you have any design questions I will relay them onto the designer.

TLDR: Not here to make silly margins and if you have a question don't be scared to ask!

Updates:
Order form is closed invoices will be going out soon.

Dye-sub?

I really want just those 3u Cherry caps :eek:

How does the color match to something like 9009?

The color of R4 Del, End, PgUp should be dark grey not white.
R2 PgDn and + keys should be dark grey as well.

Any chance for the legends to be not so bolded? I would be in if not for that, its a turn off for me with bolded/thicc legends

I'll have a word with the designer but I think that's something we'd have to take into consideration for a future set.

In Case I want the iso Key, do I need to order a full Kit?
And correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't there a beige R3 Key missing that goes next to the small ISO key?

I am currently in talks with getting a full ISO set made up for this set as it wasn't in the original design.

Please rename this drop, very confusing. I got excited for the old commodore inspired caps.

Rename it!

1. "Retro" is a too generic name to use for a name
2. Other key sets already exist that are named Retro: "DSA Retro", "GMK Retro" and "SA Retro" that use red and brown colour scheme, green accent colour and white(ish?) legends.

Rename it!
