[Interest Check]Cherry RGB Set

[mbc]

Since the CHERRYRGB10# sets got kicked out of the GB4.
I want to start my own group buy.

This will be for double shot
BLACK ON RGB
modifier keys, like the Original Cherry Dyesub RGB set shown here:
[ Attachment Invalid Or Does Not Exist ] 41602[/ATTACH]

hashbaz & cycloverid gave me permission to use their SVGs so they will look like these but with black lettering.
Also the left ISO_Shift will have an arrow up (they're fixing that right now)

Colors will be RA, VCM, BDH
(same as in hashbazs GB)


there will be 2 different sets:

First the winkeyless version with 1.5 modifier keys containing

• 2x 1.5 Alt
• 2x 1.5 Control
• 1x 2.25 Left_ANSI_Shift
• 1x 1.25 Left_ISO_Shift
• 1x 2.75 Right_Shift
• 1x 1.75 Shorter_Right_Shift
• total of 8 keys
• fits  PHANTOM, 7BIT_layout, winkeyless keyboards from Cherry etc.,Noppoo Chock Mini(not right Alt) ...

Secondly standard version with 1.25 modifier keys

• 2x 1.25 Alt
• 2x 1.25 Control
• 1x 2.25 Left_ANSI_Shift
• 1x 1.25 Left_ISO_Shift
• 1x 2.75 Right_Shift
• 1x 1.75 Shorter_Right_Shift
• total of 8 keys
• fits  most modern keyboards like FILCO, POKER,...

PRICE LIST
As always the price depends on the quantity of sets ordered
by now I have the prices for 50 or 75 sets each

If you want the yellow mod keys, please say so. This is an interest check .


winkeyless 1.5

• 50 sets : 21.84 USD
• 75 sets : 17.44 USD
• more: even cheaper

standard 1.25

• 50 sets : 19.41 USD
• 75 sets : 15.82 USD
• more: even cheaper

how the prices are calculated: (price SP + shipping to me + taxes)/quantity
If both sets make it, price will go further down since prices are calculated independently

Shipping
1 set 3 USD worldwide
2 or more sets 5,5 USD worldwide

FAQ

• What should I do?

Reply the number of sets you want to order

• When will this happen?

As soon as we reach at least 50 sets for either set I will start an order thread.
(update) as soon as I get the new price list from Melissa

• Why ISO and ANSI in one set

->more orders -> cheaper

• Color codes

RA, VCM, BDH

• Will there be a black on red Escape key

Yes, waiting for price quotes

• Will the super yellow keys be included/available

Yes, awaiting prices.

[RColinTaylor]

Why is there a need for another RGB within a month after the last one shipped?

[demik]

Because there are no black on rgb only white on rgb

[mbc]

Because there are no black on rgb only white on rgb

exactly,
and there are no sets with 1.5 modifiers or 1.75 right shift

[whiskerBox]

I like the idea I think these will be pretty cool

[demik]

Color me interested for both sets. Are you using the same colors as hashbaz?

[hashbaz]

I'm definitely in for at least one set, probably standard.  If we get enough orders I'll get a winkeyless too for my Phantom.

[mbc]

At first I was thinking of using a lighter shade of blue, but on the most recent pictures the blue looked really good.
But I'm open for suggestions

[RColinTaylor]

Well are these also going to be Doubleshot or dyesub instead to match the original?

[gimpster]

Why is there a need for another RGB within a month after the last one shipped?

Some people (read: me :wave:) missed out on the last one...so, unless you've got a set to sell me, then I need me some keys.

I'm in for 2 sets of Winkeyless, although, if you don't mind checking to see how much it would cost to offer them in both black and white lettering, I'd appreciate it. I would prefer white lettering, so it matches my Dolch letters. Black will be fine if that's all you can do, though. I just remember 7bit saying that different colors really didn't affect the pricing all that much in the R4 group buy, but that might be due to the fact that he's dealing with smaller quantities of a wider variety of sets.

EDIT: have you settled on the colors yet? I really like the colors from aggiejy's group buy: http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?21586-Doubleshot-RGB-Set-EXTRA-STOCK

Changing the color resets the price bracket.  So we'd have to have four separate sets with their own quantity and price: standard white, standard black, WKL white, WKL black.

Yeah, that's right, WKL.  I went there.

[Kisakuku]

One of each, at least.

[tsangan]

no Y?

Well ain't that a sonofa*****. I'm still in, though. And just in case the RGB color codes aren't already decided, I'd like to reiterate my vote for using aggiejy's colors, that blue is so much nicer than the blue from the PBT keys linked in the OP and would look really sharp with black letters.

[ Attachment Invalid Or Does Not Exist ] 41596[/ATTACH]

[mbc]

no Y?

no
I think the yellow kills the harmony of the set,
BUT if there is an overwhelming request for it, i will add them

[tsangan]

no

Just one of those things you can get and not used if you don't want to, rather that then when you want to use it but don't have it

Aggiejy's blue was not well liked, but I agree that lighter will look better for black legends.  I sent Biniaris my SP color samples a while back to try and figure out which colors sixty used for his Rebel RGBY sets.  He also picked out the closest colors to vintage Cherry RGB dyesubs.  Aggiejy was pretty close:

I agree with you. On top of that, it's so hard to find a shade of yellow that doesn't feel like it's violating my eye socket.

[mbc]

if there is more interest I'll ask for the prices
that would mean 2x 1.0 Diamond for Winkeyless and 2x 1.5 Diamond for Standard

Sweet pic. I'll have to look at my color rings when I get back to the office on Monday to be sure, but so far RR, VCS, BFP looks like a big ol' winner, winner, chicken dinner to me. :first:

[korne]

+1 Standard  (maybe 2 depend on price)

[tjweir]

Why is there a need for another RGB within a month after the last one shipped?

And they look awesome!

[gridlock]

Count me in for a standard my friend

[lightsout714]

I'd prefer the colors hashbaz used. Have we decided yet?

[mbc]

do you mean the lettering or the yellow keys or?

[lightsout714]

I mean the red blue and green. Some people are asking for the colors from a previous group buy.

[mbc]

same colors, but with black lettering see FAQ

[lightsout714]

OK great I saw people asking for different ones so wasn't sure.

[snoopy]

I would take a standard set

[reaper]

In for a set of each please.

1 x winkeyless
1 x standard

[7roi]

+ 2set winkeyless
+ 2set standard
^^

[pitashen]

I am in if you would let me make a special order for a set or two without the green shift keys.

[Ovoxo]

Would be interested in a standard set.

[mbc]

I am in if you would let me make a special order for a set or two without the green shift keys.

you could resell them afterwards

[pitashen]

you could resell them afterwards

don't think selling just the shifts are easy. SP calculate the price based on the amount of one type of keycap is ordered I believe?

[metafour]

don't think selling just the shifts are easy. SP calculate the price based on the amount of one type of keycap is ordered I believe?

I'll take one set and pitashen's shifts

[mbc]

i'd rather not open the order for single keys atm,
it just defeats the purpose of the whole set.

I'll take one set and pitashen's shifts

that fixes it then,
you 2 can figure out the detail on your own (maybe 50/50)
i'll just have to know how much to charge when that time comes

wich sets do you want Standard or Winkeyless

[metafour]

Oops, prolly should include that little bit of information shouldn't I. I'll take a standard set.

[mbc]

thx, i love it when thing work out on their own

[elton5354]

1 set of the standard!

[rindorbrot]

intersted in 1 standard set.

[vax]

In for 2x standard + 4x Yellow mods. It's just nice to have them you know, even if you think they destroy the flow of the style. Just make them mandatory (like the other GBs in here) and let people chose if they want to use them or not.

[rainb1ood]

Interested in:

x2 Standard

[JSchool]

I'd be in for probably 2x standard.

[kaiserreich]

1 x winkeyless
1 x standard

[elbandito]

my first post...

in for 1 x standard

[BiNiaRiS]

And just in case the RGB color codes aren't already decided, I'd like to reiterate my vote for using aggiejy's colors, that blue is so much nicer than the blue from the PBT keys linked in the OP.

Cherry corp dye subs > everything else.

[jonnybastard]

I'll take a standard set thanks.
