[GB] Granite Set ~ Sublimated Full PBT (spacebar included)

[StylinGreymon]

It'd be nice if Cyrillic set tipped next tier...

It'd be nice if Mono Legend tipped at all...

[intelli78]

Just bought moar... cyrililc and 2x Ergodox blanks. I believe you only need one more order of 2 Ergodox blanks to bring it from $15-->$11.  Someone get on that ****tt.

[Elias Camber]

how are these amazing caps called again that have like a hole covered with transparent material... lets the light of your LEDs shine right through and ****... making your board look uncomprehendably (and I don't care if that word even exists) awesome. Windowed, yes... let's get 4 more of these... or 14.

[Matt3o]

actually they call them lens key methinks. anyway, get a lot of them!

mono legend and blank RGB will make me cry if they don't go through.

[grandtheftspaceman]

Ahhh, how did I not notice this buy until now?! I need to get all up on this!  I've been keen on a set with this profile and font for ages. The problem is I can't decide whether to go with icon or text mods...

I mocked up both options for a full-size board to try and decide. I'm leaning slightly more towards text, what do other people reckon?

Go with icons. They're cool

[Matt3o]

take both

[grandtheftspaceman]

take both

Haha, that is tempting! Then maybe throw in some RGB mods and maybe some Apple keys... Too many things I want and not enough cash! I need to save some money to put towards a new board too... *sigh*

[Matt3o]

then take TEXT that is cheaper and add some extras (nerdom, apple, multimedia, rgb, ...)

[swill]

we need more RGB icons, get them... 

[taylordcraig]

My personal preference is text with icon for shift.

[mougrim]

Good indeed, sir

Well, I'm astonished! +10 orders while I wasn't watching Blue Enter and Cyrillic kits both got to the next tier!

[Matt3o]

Considering the complete lack of interest in the international mono legend (just 1 order) I collected some interest in a different set of legends and the following is the result.



I also contacted the one buyer of the current international mono-legend and he agrees on the change.

So if you are interested, the international mono-legend is from this moment on the one pictured above.

I wish I could have just the heart keycap :/ My total for this group buy is already a decent amount.

Please guys, 5 more for rgb icon or iso enter and i will love you forever!!

I would trade you for the 1.25 FN and Alt Gr keys from the Text Pro Modifiers, and throw in some more from the Nerdom kit if you want.

Edit: Changed my mind, I'm not sure yet!

Perhaps someone who ordered the set might not need the heart keycap, so you might see it in the classifieds. As a last resort, you can always buy the set yourself just for the heart keycap and then sell the rest in classifieds.

[avtar]

I didn't get the Text Pro mods :/ I would pay for the heart keycap if you don't plan on using it.

Yeah I'll keep an eye on the classifieds once this starts to ship.

Haha I'm still deciding! See my edit above... I'll let you know if I figure out what keyboard I will be using. If I put these on a Poker II I would be willing to trade for it  I'll pm you when I know! If it goes on a TKL I will most likely be using it then

Few questions:
1.Which sets do I need to completely cover the WASD V2 87 key?
2. And to replace the CapsLock with Ctrl?

The WASD 87 is a TKL. It takes the common base set, a modifiers set, either text or icons. And to swap CapsLock with Ctrl you will need the modifiers pro set, again, either text or icons.

Yes please join! The more the cheaper, plus this will look great on a WASD 87 key!

You would need the "Common Kit", "Text Modifiers" or "Icon Modifiers" (depending on preference), and then the "Text Pro Modifiers" or "Icon Pro Modifiers". With the text option this comes out to $89 right now. The price could drop a little bit too.

Those last two include a 1.5 Control Key, that will take the place of the standard Caps Lock Key, and a 1.25 Caps Lock Key, which will take the place of the bottom left Control Key.

I would also recommend adding some color if you want it to look great. Either the "Blue Enter" or "Text RGB"/"Icon RGB" would look especially good. If you went with the RGB modifiers, you would not have a red Caps Lock Key in the bottom left though. RGB is modeled after Desko RGB, so even though it would look good, it wouldn't be complete - like this set...


And if you went with the Text Pro Modifiers, you would definitely be able to sell/trade some of the left over keys (IMO, I know I will be looking to pick up an FN key and Alt Gr key).

I am a little hesitant about the font... is this a standard typeface, and does it look good in reality? Not a fan of iconography, so if anything, I will go 100% text.

[drozzy]

The Ukrainian set looks great though. I assume I can get that instead of the core set? (Will that fit 87 or do I need a bigger board?)

The Ciryllic set requires the base set. Just a heads up.

I think it should look like this in real life.

Matt3o, how feasible would it be to use these on a HHKB if your Topre/MX stems get mass produced somehow? Would it be possible to get 6u ABS spacebars with this same profile and colour?

Granite set is PBT sublimated, we do not use the standard font that SP uses for double shot (even though admittedly it's similar). The font we use is called Gotham Rounded Light. Which is a really great font. The renders in the first page are pretty close to the real thing.

6u ABS would be doable, but color match between ABS and PBT is always a bit problematic.

[drozzy]

Just curious why windows key (win 8 icon style for example) is not included? Seems like mac is there.

[drozzy]

One more question: if I order a set now, and then end up liking it, will I be able to get another order in the future for a 2nd keyboard?
Or is this a one-time thing?

[avtar]

6u ABS would be doable, but color match between ABS and PBT is always a bit problematic.

Okay that sounds promising. It would be better if the colours could be the same but as long as they're close enough.

[Matt3o]

there's not "Apple" logo nor "Windows" logo. That's an "annoying" aspect of all my GBs you won't never see win (or apple) keys on them.

6u ABS would be doable, but color match between ABS and PBT is always a bit problematic.

yeah, your know being pure gray we could go pretty close.

As of now there are no plans for a second round.

That is exactly how my order spiralled into enough for two 110% with any variation of modifiers or a 110% and egdx.

I got a second job for geekhack.
I'll leave it to you to figure out which part of that sentence is a lie.

Last 2 days!

10 more orders and we hit 200 tier with the common kit!



I need 4 more ISO Enters or the keycap monster will come after you and will break all your stems. And by stems I mean testicles.

[StylinGreymon]

Just two more Mono-Legend...
