[IC] Red on white sp double-shots?

[Acanthophis]

I know there is a off-chance this GB won't happen...
But nonetheless I'm already kinda hyped for this

[jrockroll]

now I dont have to pay ridiculous price on RD

not really, ever since people saw the original red alert set this has been talked about and lusted after.

then 002 brought up the original topre red alert for an interest check.

and DT wanted to do "red alert" from unicomp for model m boards.

so yeah, people want this color way lol.

[bavman]

I propose we send a sacrifice of my head to KBDmania in exchange for them letting us use their labels.

It'll be like the movie Seven.

deal

[funxion]

Can there be an options for an inverted "Red Alert" set? I think white on red would be a lot nicer and would cater to the white case crowd.

[tsangan]

We should definitely get a poll going then

I don't suggest all white as RA was done in that fashion the first time, and simply copying it is very blah

Bad for the communities in the end

[longweight]

Dooooo it!

(They won't even know)

Fixed that for you.

this.

this.

Grey modifiers like the topre set, and then optional white modifers for those who want it perhaps?

thats what OTD did.. im up for it. but it will be $$$

[metafour]

Is SP's dyesub set up to have the same profile as the doubleshots?

[metafour]

It's really not a bad font, that Isotherm white on red....

http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?29078-IC-New-Signature-Plastic-Fonts!!!!

Yeah, I would love to have just a set of those white on reds from the original RA set. Unfortunately I got outbid on them over at Deskthority.

[longweight]

I don't care how much it costs, just as long as it looks awesome!

[bavman]

I still like the red modifiers lol
Makes it pop out and still looks nice and neat

[Zehkul]

What are SP’s prices on low quantity sets? 5, 10 and 15. Just being curious here.
(They SHOULD have lower prices here or at least lower them when negotiating since China’s doing this without MOQ, lol)

They do but I doubt anyone will pay those prices

Also my prices has no ISO because Jret doesn't exist in PBT

A lot. I think melissa once quoted me $350 for a 37 double shot set if just 1 is ordered

[boost]

Put me down...but it looks really great with the white on red modifiers

[Zehkul]

Yeah, double shots are a lot, that’s nothing new. Dye subs are available without MOQ on the other hand, they’ve got competition there…

LOL! SP has no JRET?

Hahaha

Until they can make 87 sets + all other size modifiers with custom legends/images on ALL of them SP is still the only one available

[Zehkul]

They can. Seen enough offers on Taobao. Just other size modifiers are a problem, but seriously, most of us have Filco/Filco clones anyway.

Can SP put legends on the space bar, by the way?

news to me

[Zehkul]

Seen one from Vortex. :-) Isn’t available though, yeah.

pics? never seen it.

Last I heard they do custom legends but the prices stays around the same.

Look at the GB Changdrew is running its like $2.06 for a 1x key and backspace is $7.50 will there be a price drop?

Will their customer service be on par as SP? Mistake happen and they replace it?

I feel like it would be a pain in the butt since its coming from overseas and theres a chance it'll get stuck in customs

[demik]

also, please no PBT spacebars.

90% of them look like crap. never completely flat

[longweight]

We need a big pole!

Isotherm would be great, even an inverted version of this color set.

Complete sets should be cheaper, yes. I don’t know anything specific, but asking can’t hurt, before you’re going to throw your money at SP, no? Imsto clearly said he can do “any layout”.

That’s the only problem, yeah.

Already there.

oh, nice.


now to wait for it to come out in 2014 with the rest of their products.

[Zehkul]

Sadly. :-{

[funxion]

Wouldn't it be cheaper if there were just two sets as part of the same order to SP? Since the layout proposed in the OP has alternating red on white and white on red function key sub-sets, the same could be done for the white on red  set but reversed.

Just an idea. Not sure if it would save money or not, but that way this GB (if it was to happen) benefits more of the community.

You save no money, regardless of layout once the colour is different it has it's own separate MOQ

Since the world is ending in December, I wouldn't worry about that.

i dont understand what you're asking o.O

sounds like you want 2 group buys ran together that don't benefit each other

Which is why we need this set ASAP!

Right...so wouldn't it be cheaper to just coordinate a full set of red on white caps and a full set of white on red? The GB organizer can offer certain adjustment like alternating colors of function row groupings, modifiers, etc. Just trying to think of cost-effective strategies!

What is that black on white keycap set from?

nope it wouldn't.

because you'd still have to pay for 2 different sets. there is no money saving once you change colors.


the only smart cost effective strategy is base set + add ons.

everybody benefits from having just one base set.

also, the way you want it will be too much picking and choosing and a ton of work for the organizer.

Except that people don't want white on red for alpha numeric unless I'm wrong, and even then it's a separate GB why would you combine it when both don't benefit from each other, there won't be any cost saving in anyway.

[funxion]

Alright, I tried!

[Ragnorock]

I'm working on this set right now. Order thread goes up tomorrow if Melissa replies to my emails.

Font choice?

[demik]

wyse

or helvetica

[tsangan]

helvetica is a nice choice
