The set has finally be finally finalized and I have also got a hold of a distributor for the set.
Unfortunately, MD didn't respond to my group buy. even after 200 votes, and as such, I have gone to someone else who can make this set real.
I have decided to work with Sherryton of OriginativeCo as his recent track record has shown to be highly promising and he is highly experienced with running group buys for keycaps.
Originally the timeslot we were looking at to run the set was in November, however, that has been pushed back to another time TBA.
Here are some renders by thesiscamper to get you moist.

I have been thinking for the longest time that I should make a set in SA because I think it's just such an intriguing profile.
SA always seemed to me like something that would be best suited for a more "classic" look.
So what I have constructed is a set that uses a very "yellowed" beige look with desaturated RGB and CMYK mods.

Inquiries and Sundry (Some quotes have been paraphrased for succinctness.)
Like the title states, this is the full sculpt.
Since 3-1-2-3-4-3 is the mainstream thing, it will be what is used.
Holy ****snacks!
Your colours actually look really nice!
Here is a mockup comparing the RGB kits:
Please provide some feedback on these!
Since this is the full sculpt instead of row 3, it would raise the price to add full international kits with complete legends.
However, if there is enough interest, I can add a kit that includes 1x1 blanks for every row.
This would allow you to replace all of your alphas which I expect to be good enough.
If there is enough interest I will definitely be willing to do this! Although I would have to inquire with Bunny about taking his colors.
Please provide as much feedback as you can!
If you think it's ****, then I would like to know why.

are you doing a 3-1-2-3-4-3 profile? or all row 3?
Like the title states, this is the full sculpt.
Since 3-1-2-3-4-3 is the mainstream thing, it will be what is used.
I don’t think SP has a good enough default “magenta” color for you to really get effective CMY mods.
To fit your theme, I’d go for "yellowed RGB" mods instead. Like, a grungy orangish red, a grungy greenish blue, and a grungy yellowish green. (For instance, BEY, YAV, RDD.) The SP colors still aren’t perfect for that either though, unfortunately.
Or better (whether you want to go for CMY or grungy RGB) you could talk to SP and get them to mix up some custom colors that aren’t on their chip wheel. I’m pretty sure it’s possible, but it might be slightly tricky to communicate the precise color you want to them. They’re not color experts, so it might take a few iterations.
Holy ****snacks!
Your colours actually look really nice!

Please provide some feedback on these!
I'd love me some international kits but I think that would raise price and not everyone would be interested in that.
Instead, might I propose an all blank kit? At least for alphas and number row where legends actually differ. Modifiers and F-rows are fine as they are.
But maybe it would look better if actually every single key were blank? Honestly, I'm here for the color choice and the profile ^^
Since this is the full sculpt instead of row 3, it would raise the price to add full international kits with complete legends.
However, if there is enough interest, I can add a kit that includes 1x1 blanks for every row.
This would allow you to replace all of your alphas which I expect to be good enough.
How about a kit for ctrl, alt, and shift keys in Penumbra Blue?
If there is enough interest I will definitely be willing to do this! Although I would have to inquire with Bunny about taking his colors.
Please provide as much feedback as you can!
If you think it's ****, then I would like to know why.

You'll need to figure out what sets you want to offer.
For now, I just want to see if people like the base colours.
Although I'll definitely get on those!

I'd be in, one of the kits should allow you to have red, yellow, green, blue, and pink all on the board at once. My idea may work better with winkey boards if you want it too look balanced.
Not quite sure what your idea is, but feel free to post your own mock up!
If you aren't that great with these things, just splash colour on some keys in paint, and I will iron it out.

You should define if the set profile will be contoured, or flat with all keys in row 3.
Yes. Thank you, sir.

I get why you're confused, I don't know why I worded it like that. The basic idea was to be able to have all five colors on the board at once. But I just played with it on keyboard layout editor and it looks like trash.

This looks great! The only thing that sticks out to me is that the yellow might be too close in tone to the lightest base color (not sure if that is the right way to say this). The yellow might look better as a bright cool color like VCO. This could just be my personal preference though! Keep up the good work!
I sort of see what you're saying.
Although I should mention that the alphas have the same base tone as Penumbra's yellowed keys.
I also don't really see why you would suggest VCO as it is a green plastic, but I have done a quick mockup to show you what it would look like.

I'm not actually a fan of the minty look, but if the demand is overwhelming, I'll change it over.
The point of this set is to have yellowed keys instead of green ones.

Absolutely, I didn't mean to derail the IC, just showing support for that design. It would definitely be a shift in scope to change to the minty look. :thumb:

PLEASE do not start making use of extra colours to fill all the key-set with. It's just awful, always be extremely conservative with the use of any colours and besides I love your original design far more than this one.
If you don't want to keep it like old school, with the excessive use of beautiful beige shades, then life isn't worth living with any Technocoloured Rubbish. Keep it simple and above all else avoid any use of colours on a wide area, it's just not right in the scheme of things.

I wasn't in favor of it either, I just wanted to show the one guy what it would look like.
I'm pretty set on this design. Aside from the fact that I might want lighter or darker tones on some keys, I agree with you as well.

Whoops! I think I explained this wrong. I meant think about using VCO or something that is a cool color on the shift key with the pink instead of the yellow. I didn't mean for you to replace one of the main colors with VCO. Sorry for the confusion! Again though, this is probably just a matter of personal preference due to me not liking yellow next to beige. I love the original main colors and think that the beige tones look really sharp.
OH that makes SO much more sense!
Since I want to keep the CMYK set and don't want to part with the yellow, I have made a compromise!
I can instead replace the VAG green with VCO and with the RGB set, it should look like this:
(http://i.imgur.com/sB9C1PM.png)
How do you guys like this? I think it might fit the pale legends better.

Step aside penumbra? Hot damn.
The mention of Penumbra reminds me.
If I'm not mistaken, I think the alphas use the same colours, aside from the legends which are still subject to change.
I can split up the alphas and the rest of the set so that owners of Penumbra can save a butt load of money! :thumb:

Honestly, I think your original design with the darker green might fit the muted tones of the set better.
True, the original looks to accomplish everything you want with this colour-way hence stick with it. Do not make any other colour stand out more than the rest with darker tones, it just destabilizes the whole design.

Every bit of feedback helps!
The colours are very much in the prototyping stage and I want everyone to give me their opinions. I will of course have a poll or form to fill out for colour preferences later on, but it's even better to see reasons why as opposed to numbers on a spreadsheet.

Please include normal mods for those who want a more minimalistic look (like me). This set would work well for my work PC.

Yes, I will get to that immediately.... after work that is.
I also need to know if you guys want the color mods in a separate pack, or with the base kit for this very reason.

The one thing to note is that the colours are an additional 12 keys to the base kit which raises the price slightly.
If I was to separate the colour mods then I should not that ROB and CMYK will be in one single pack to ensure tipping.

If I was to separate the colour mods then I should not that ROB and CMYK will be in one single pack to ensure tipping.
My thinking was that the colored mods would be the 'base' (realizing that there would be both RGB and CMYK mods, so there would be additional keys, of course) and the beige mods would be the extra pack. Kind of like a 'Boring Joe' kit. For me, I'm much more interested in the set with the mods. I might be the minority there though. Either way, I'm getting the colored mods. :)

are you doing a 3-1-2-3-4-3 profile? or all row 3?
Like the title states, this is the full sculpt.
Since 3-1-2-3-4-3 is the mainstream thing, it will be what is used.
P.S. I have revamped the OP to be more concise.

I totally LOVE your colour selections, particularly SP's - WAR and VAG which essentially highlights our ONLY true conflicts in the world today 8) .
Brilliant choices as always Frosty, keeping it real with the essentials in life........

I'd love me some international kits but I think that would raise price and not everyone would be interested in that.
Instead, might I propose an all blank kit? At least for alphas and number row where legends actually differ. Modifiers and F-rows are fine as they are.
But maybe it would look better if actually every singel key were blank? Honestly, I'm here for the color choice and the profile ^^

Since this is the full sculpt instead of row 3, it would raise the price to add full international kits with complete legends.
However, if there is enough interest, I can add a kit that includes 1x1 blanks for every row.
This would allow you to replace all of your alphas which I expect to be good enough.

How about a Mod Kit in Penumbra Blue? If it doesn't tip, it doesn't tip. I don't think it would detract orders from your primary Mod Kit. :)
Do you mean just the ctrl, alt, and shift keys? I might be able to do that. Although would have to ask Bunny if he is fine with that, of course.
If you want all of the mods in Penumbra blue, I would personally be against that as I think it would be wrong to run a Penumbra R2 as someone who is not associated with [CTRL]ALT.

Yeah, sorry, just to replace the colored mods. I know you already have the Boring Joes kit, and I like the muted colors jacobulus suggested, but I was just thinking it would look good with the Penumbra blue for those who want a bit of color, but don't always want RGB.

I will keep that suggestion in mind.
Once I get my color ring from SP, I will begin finalizing all of the different choices and run an interest form to see what is viable.
Every set listed in the OP will likely be exactly what appears in the actual group buy.
The only thing that could change in the set listed would be colors.
Speaking of colors, I had an oversight with the numpad set.
The 0 keys are in the mod color, however sets usually have them in alpha color. I can have one, or the other, or both.

I guess he just wants them for the pure novelty as it fits with SA.

No idea. I guess he just wants them for the pure novelty [...]The only purpose of hat-shaped keys is filling in space in keyboards larger than 1u while avoiding the need for stabilizers. As far as I can tell IBM pretty much invented them for the first Model F boards (like the XT), since at the beginning they hadn’t figured out / didn’t want to use wire stabilizers or double-barrels. (Did anyone use a stepped key left of the A before that?) It was a dumb idea in the 80s, and it’s still a dumb idea today IMO. But hey, I think all keys bigger than 1.5u (except possibly spacebars designed to fit a wide range of hand sizes; for those Matias’s new 2.5x1.5 keys are great) are stupidly large. So what do I know.

Thanks for the input.
I guess it would be best to shelf the idea of these keys and not make unnecessary delays.
That being said, I plan to only start the interest check after 1976, Hack'd by Geeks, and possibly Symbiosis end.
This would hopefully soften the blow on people's wallets and not give them headaches over having to decide what to get.

Which is all we ask of GB organizers. I know I kind of "cheat the system" by running mine through [CTRL]ALT, and going without an interest check, but I have a good feeling for what people are looking for, so I know the interest is there. Kudos to you for thinking of a good timeline to work within, so that people can order these without too much wallet shock. :thumb:

The effort you put into something will always show in the end.
We here underestimate that vital emotion termed as "LOVE" because it has been overused for nearly everything in all our lives. When you apply that 'term' with key-caps, it has a glowing acceptance here on this site more so than anywhere else on the web. Have courage because you will certainly need it when time approaches to having it made at SP but remain confident that a lot of us here will be there with you because we saw fit to front up with the moolah for your key-set.
Just hope Melissa gets back in the office because it will go through so easily with her in charge. Pity SP doesn't see fit to pay for a baby sitter whilst she handles our key-sets (my selfishness is beyond all here on this forum 8) ).

Time to finally grow up and mature because we need a UNIVERSAL Logo that sits in that position and lets any user know that it's OS related only.
Sick of paying for extra Windows, Linux and Mac Logo Keys constantly in nearly every Group Buy held here on GH. Time to finally release an all encompassing ICON that can be applied for every known OS that was ever made or will be made, plus for the poverty stricken give them a cheaper option. Remember Henry Ford's famous quote back when you can have any colour you want for your brand new car, as long as it was BLACK (something to think about here).

+1 to this. Nice to see some coordination and sensibility happening.
And I think Elrick's idea is excellent, OS-agnostic keycap legends are needed :) I think "META" works well for written legends. The logo should be a fairly neutral symbol without much prior association. Something like what Apple did when switching from the open and closed apple keys to the "command" symbol - actually it's used here in Finland to denote a place of interest on maps and roadsigns.
Here's an interesting one, which I feel matches the purpose well: http://www.symbols.com/symbol/603

We have the diamond, sometimes used as the "meta" key. I guess it was popular on some Sun and Apple keyboards. Would that suffice, or would it be too confusing?

Just a simple generic terminal icon. I'm sure someone could throw together a higher quality one in a vector drawing program, or there are probably tons of free icons out there. I think a cli icon fits with the whole retro theme. Maybe it could be a C:> prompt or just a simple rectangular cursor.

Yes please. Would it be possible for a more "uniform" color (e.g. all green, all blue, etc.) for the mods, as opposed to the current assorted mix of colors? :D
If there is enough interest, I will do it.
I don't like bloating the group buy with a bunch of child packs that won't tip.

The boring Joes kit was just a pack that was for those who didn't want coloured mods.
A colour kit would be the opposite of that and I would have to figure out something for a different colour pack. Perhaps I could put penumbra blue and boring Joes in the same kit. Although that would essentially double the cost of the kit.

That will always be the chief problem - a few here wanting SPECIAL keys included, yet the vast majority will never want it (nor pay for it).
You've got to stick to the original with a tiny mod section of small extras to appeal to a greater range of buyer. I'm in with this simply because it's another beautifully Contoured, SA baby with such style and grace it reminds me of another time period back in history.
Also about the OS keys I'm happy with a simple diamond shape or stick with "WIN" text if it's cheaper to do, so that you can get this off the ground and bought by the majority here on this forum. Don't let the selection of one key derail this whole GB because it usually happens when a suggestion has been made (sorry) then everything goes off on a tangent, meaning the whole process stops in it's tracks.

Yes, I should keep that in mind.
However, I will be sure to run a form for any of the non-essential ideas that aren't seemingly popular.
This will help me eliminate useless sets and keep some that people want.

Well from the initial mockups, the alphas will be the EXACT same as penumbra.
I separated the mods from the alphas so that owners of it could save a butt load of money.
Although I am having second thoughts on the alpha colour.

That is something I wonder myself, however I don't have a conclusion.
Although since most people keep a lot of their sets in storage for many years at a time in this enthusiast community, it can't be that bad.

Ultra Yellow colour is perfect for me because I don't have any besides Penumbra and I really love that colour-way, unlike you I cherish older keyboards and their caps. Having a set that already looks aged saves time for me because I can't wait another 20 years for my key-caps to look aged 8) .
If the plastic is the same as the key-caps then it will change altogether in colour as it ages. But some manufacturers play with different versions of plastic such as PBT or Composites of the casing hence it will possibly change but in a different time frame.

I have no idea how much the alpha set + mod kit will cost but I can say that there are several extra keys in here which would bump up the cost slightly.
The set is split up into several kits which would reduce the price for some. However, unfortunately, it will be more expensive for those who want everything.

This looks fantastic! I'll definitely be down for some alphas plus enough blanks to fill in my Planck. Any chance of a blank 2u for a Planck spacebar? Or, better yet, a full Plank kit? I don't know if there'd be enough interest to tip it, but I'd be all over it. Either way, I'm really excited about this one. Great work!

Here I was thinking we were compadres, both interested in the same things, but now you've ripped my heart right out of my chest :'( .
How could you not like the Penumbra Yellow Shade it's PERFECT in every way. This key-set needs that out-dated colour scheme because it represents a bygone era from our good old days, when we were young.

Ooohh man. I almost cried! Don't be like that. We're still Hack'd by Geeks compadres.I'm not really fond of the Penumbra yellow-ish color to be honest. I was just asking as a matter of comparison.
Here I was thinking we were compadres, both interested in the same things, but now you've ripped my heart right out of my chest :'( .
How could you not like the Penumbra Yellow Shade it's PERFECT in every way. This key-set needs that out-dated colour scheme because it represents a bygone era from our good old days, when we were young.

You sure about adding these huge Profiles onto a TINY keyboard like a HHKB ?
Usually standard DCS, DSA or Cherry Profiles would suit but adding these SA babies to it, will make it look like the Rocky Mountains which you'll eventually hate.

This looks fantastic! I'll definitely be down for some alphas plus enough blanks to fill in my Planck. Any chance of a blank 2u for a Planck spacebar? Or, better yet, a full Plank kit? I don't know if there'd be enough interest to tip it, but I'd be all over it. Either way, I'm really excited about this one. Great work!
Eh. I might do a full revamp and include kits for everything like what happened with Pulse. Since this is being done through SP we don't need to worry about reaching moq as long as there is some sort of interest.
! Count me in if there's a Planck mod. :D

From what I can tell the base kit could pretty much cover an entire planck board.
You might have to order some relegendable keys to fill in the bottom row however.
I hope that would be good enough for you.

I really like it, but hopefully there's a colored mod kit that isn't so many colors. I like a little color, but like 3-4 different colors in the mods would be too much, aesthetically. And mods the SAME color as the alphas is just boring.
Point taken.
I have an idea for a mods set that might please people.
Once I find the time I will have a large update with all of the mod kits. Once we move along and other group buys clean up we can get really serious with pricing and the voting.

The problem I have is with the fact that it is SA. This reminds me a lot of the recent massdrop buy for the Jukebox SA keyset (https://www.massdrop.com/buy/jukebox-sa-keyset).
I'm personally partial to DCS and DSA profiles, due to their height. If this was DCS it would be amazing because there are so few if any keysets of that profile that have such large legends.

Spherical keycaps only look good when they have large centered alpha legends.
If you don't like the large legends then this profile in general just isn't for you.

Please include a variety of EXTRA space bars to purchase separately.
Carbon had kicked me in the balls regarding buying any extra spacers so I don't want the same treatment with your key-set. Please have mercy upon my balls :-[ .
Although your inclusion of extra G80-1800 keys is a joy to behold and looking forward to this set being thrust upon us, as soon as possible :thumb: .

Currently we can't actually go to the interest check stage on the site as they are modifying their process.
However, it is definitely possible for us to go through and have this sold on SP's site and not MD.
If there is enough of a voice I may allow this set to go through MD, however, if that is the case then I will refuse to take any money and instead have it given directly to GH to fund server hosting.
Perhaps in light of GH needing funding I could see if we could work with MD to raise funds, however I still do have my issues with the service like I have previously stated.

PBT SA keycaps do exist and you can buy some blank ones on the PMK store (1x caps in WAN or WAS, 1.5x caps in OT), but they're leftovers from a test run and won't be mass produced by SP. SP doesn't have the capability to dyesub or doubleshot these and is not interested in mass manufacture for GB's. No reasons given.
They're thinner than ABS SA caps, but still pretty solid (2nd from left):

Post by: FrostyToast on Thu, 27 August 2015, 09:36:48
Although I don't think they would be suitable at all imo.
You can see that on the sides of the PBT cap that there is warping causing the plastic to bend inward.
This is due to the higher shrink ratio of the PBT material during cooling. It may not be much of an issue for smaller caps, but for anything larger it would be an issue.
The only way to fix that would be through brand new moulds designed to handle that plastic.

Out of curiosity, as I appear to be out of the loop on this, what's the problem with Massdrop?There have been a lot of problems with MD, sometimes delays in shipping orders, but most often just mismanagement of the distribution, things like badly packaged and/or damaged items, the TA groupbuy being the most recent example of that. People mostly feel that MD hasn't done anything to make up for their past mistakes, and they've also been doing a really bad job shipping corrections to those ripped off by damage to their TA sets.

I maybe one of the few that received all their TA caps in perfect condition with no damage at all.
It could be pure dumb luck or simply that vast numbers who ordered the TA set and only a few had publicly complained but I suspect the vast majority, received their key-caps in good condition.

I've ordered twice on MD and the 2 times there was something wrong with the order. I ordered a switch tester and I didn't get all the switches advertised for. They told me they would ship them to me but it never happened. The second time was for the CMYW. I received a damaged key and was told that I would get recontacted for the change of that key. Never heard of them since and it was a few weeks back.
I feel like you are good to go as long as there are no problem with what you receive.

I've ordered quite a few items from them and never had any issues. I wasnt on the TA order though, just to be clear. SP caps always ship in bags though, which never has really been a problem. The TEX acrylic case I just got yesterday was packed better than just about anything I've ever gotten from them. So I think its a good combination of ventor+MD. I know a warehouse on the opposite side of the country from their office is now doing all the shipping, they really need to make sure they keep them in check.
Now, on topic, I am ready to throw money at this set. Right. Now. :D

As soon as this matter is resolved we may continue. I cannot currently disclose what this matter is, but I will in due time.

correct me if i'm wrong but this could be done in dye sub'd PBT?
I see that SP offers SA profile blanks in PBT on their site.. would this set by chance be PBT?
SP won't do dyesub PBT. Those blanks are left over from a test run for a client. They don't have the holders for dyesubbing them and won't be making them in bulk again.

YES we shall all wait for this one. Definitely worth adding to any collection especially since this colour-way exemplifies old style keyboards. Love the size of the legends because you have done the decent thing for us older participants in making this key-set thoroughly usable. Don't need to use my bifocals when I use your set which is brilliant compared to all the other sets, using tiny fonts on keys which is totally ignorant and unfair for us lot here on this site.
The Aged Look is in, because we all want to look old and worn out here on Geekhack...... at least make it happen next year, Frosty old stick.

How the legends would look in black or very dark brown?
Black would give the set a sharper look while anything faded like grays or dark browns would make it look worn or older.
Personally I doubt that dark brown would look that great.

Would a Dark Brown add to the authenticity of this Set, because it adds more warmth to that "aged" look of it?
Using Black is fine but it makes it more clinical and new compared to what you originally wanted to achieve with this key-set.

Dark brown will simulate a faded black, that will go well the overall concept of the set, a yellowed faded old beige set.

I could easily do TAA if you think that a dark brown would simulate the aged look.
However, it all depends which kinds of caps you want to simulate really. Some old yellowed caps still have legends as black as night, and then some don't.
The aged colour of legends all depends on how the legends are printed. However I would agree in that "blacker than black" legends would not suit the set.

The alphas for this and penumbra are the same right? Seems like you could run the 2 buys as one with different mod packs, though not sure if that creates any logistical headaches for the people running the buy.
Bunny is planning on running Penumbra r2 as one kit like the GMK group buys. If you end up getting penumbra then you'll just need to buy the modifiers for this set.

Have you talked to SP at all yet regarding manufacturing times? They have been quite burdened with SA sets lately.

Oh SCHWEET GEEBUS, just as I thought it couldn't get any better you then elevated this key-set into real Retro Goodness.
This is the Key-set to DIE for, shall be buying most of it for some of my Cherries and a 55g Thorpie 8) . Thanks for still pushing this colour-way and most of all keeping it all OLD looking because for an ancient dude, these babies bring tears of joy to my blood shot eyes.

New renders look great. not sure if it is a lot of work but it would be interesting to have one of them with a black keyboard instead of beige to get an idea of how the keys would look where they contrast with the board.
In accordance to your request, I have a render of the set on a black TKL.

I like picking up colemak keys when possible but it's not a huge deal and I know the colemak/dvorak sets aren't usually huge sellers. At home I typically just leave it qwerty because I switch back and forth when I'm gaming but at work I put colemak keys on when I have them for a set since it's always colemak there.

btw FrostyToast no planck kit for this keyset ?
Post by: FrostyToast on Tue, 17 November 2015, 03:08:03
Been following this set for a while. It looks absolutely awesome, my only suggestion would be to add a mod/pack that basically allows an HHKB style layout (AKA an R2 backspace key to replace |\ key)
This could be a possibility. Though, I don't know how much of a concern this really is.
The hacker layout is not too common and of the hacker style boards I have seen, rarely do they have the 1u |/ and backspace.
I see this as mostly a vanity concern and since I have not heard from anyone else I can only assume there is little to no interest.
those renders are beautiful ^_^
btw FrostyToast no planck kit for this keyset ?
The planck layout should be easily achievable through the relegendables and the regular alphas, though the 2u spacebar may be an issue.
I may have to look into this further. Though, like many of the other requests, this is not one that many have spoken of.
I'm seeing a few suggestions for add-ons here and there, however, rarely anyone is speaking out.
I have had a single request for colemak, a single request for hacker keys, a single request for a planck kit... you can clearly tell why I am reluctant to add kits for any of these; I simply see no interest.

Three to four years ago when a Group Buy started there was simply an above view of what the key-caps would look like in a traditional 87 and 104 layout.
That was it, no three dimension rendering or even an exact colour that is specified within those image(s). You just had to take a guess and buy into it plus it all depends upon who was running the GB at the time, needless to say it was all exciting because you never knew what will turn up on your doorstep months ahead.
Was never disappointed with the results whether SP or GMK made them, all were quite unique and perfect for a large amount of CherryMX based keyboards.
Now we have everyone doing fantastic illustrations to impress those with little imagination and no idea of how key-caps are constructed by either factory. I always liked the idea of not knowing EXACTLY what's coming down the line which added that extra excitement when the boxes got delivered.
We all need to trust the designer a lot more and give him the appropriate confidence to go forward with his chosen design. This place has reverted to a place where kicking the designer in the crotch and making all your mates laugh as a joke but in the end they didn't even want to participate in any Group Buy.
Too many clowns thinking they know something about design yet never passed a degree in college or even know what colours are for. They're the ones constantly trying to derail any GB for their own amusement and that's what pisses me off about this place. Want to see people's designs make it to the molds of either factory because we need more key-sets for even more keyboards and in the end that can only be a good thing.

I haven't heard much more in terms of suggestions which is a good sign that most people are quite satisfied with the kits.
Even though this buy will be pushed back by others that have been in the works earlier than this, I will try and get in contact with SP and organize things on that front.
Hint: That's pretty much a warning for last calls for requested kits. ;)

It's one of those retro sets that brings a tear of remembrance to an aged key-cap collector because it represents a colour-way, that is no longer produced or sold anymore.

I was so ready for the GMK SNES set too. But I think I like this set a lot more honestly.

Due to the recent fiasco with SP and their messed up pricing I am at an impasse. (see flatline IC thread)
I really want to make this set happen, but I am not comfortable giving SP any of my business.
As such I have decided that I will not run this set.
However, any of you can have permission to run this set on your own however you like.
You may add or take away kits, change profiles, sell through Massdrop, etc.
You may even use the mock-ups and renders shown here.
I did have to pay for the renders and mock-ups but you may use them all for free.
I only ask that you give credit of design/inspiration to me and credit for the artwork to thesiscamper.
I love all you guys and the support you have given me.
This is the best I'm willing to do.

However, any of you can have permission to run this set on your own however you like.
You may add or take away kits, change profiles, sell through Massdrop, etc.
You may even use the mock-ups and renders shown here.
I did have to pay for the renders and mock-ups but you may use them all for free.
I only ask that you give credit of design/inspiration to me and credit for the artwork to thesiscamper.
I love all you guys and the support you have given me.
This is the best I'm willing to do.
I'm sorry to hear that, it's a great looking set. I'm kind of out of the loop, what did SP do?

Now how we really found out about this is that the community-ran GBs were fairly on par with Massdrop's pricing, however we suddenly saw a 50% increase in GH group buys.
This 50% increase was allegedly for unaccounted production costs; which is ridiculous since a 50% hike cannot be attributed to production cost.
The reason why this is so infuriating is because the success of SP buys were from the combined efforts of GH and DT.
Massdrop moves a lot of volume; this is true.
However, it is the keyboard community who took the effort to design those sets and MD was merely chosen as a convenient method of distribution.
So at the end of the day, the keyboard community was thrown under the bus for our unrecognized efforts.

While i agree that there is an issue with how SP is doing this, i still would love to see this set happen. I don't think boycotting will be benetifital to anyone or the community, but will also open up talks on my own with them to try to get more information on the reasoning. If people would like me to head up getting this set run on Massdrop or PMK please let me know. If that were to happen I would also see to it that any and all royalties go to Frosty, fyi.
I already got a PM from someone to run this and I'll let them look after the GB.
Since, of course, someone has been given the carte blanche personally by me we should leave it to them to avoid confusion.
So the good news is that this is still being run! Only difference being that someone else has taken the reigns. :thumb:

I'm simply not doing it since I don't want dirt on my hands.
It seems silly since it makes no difference whether I or anyone else does it, but it's merely a matter of discomfort that I have with SP right now.

With permission from FrostyToasty and help from livingspeedbump, I will be making sure that this set gets created. This is quite the amazing set and I do not want to see all this hard work go to waste.
Please keep in mind that this set will most likely be ran through Massdrop. I know some people will not agree to this but in order to this see this set become a success than it is likely our best course of action. I for one do not have the time or patience to sort out the set and ship them out, Massdrop should be able to fulfill the orders much faster than just myself. Another benefit is that Massdrop does indeed bring in more interest so we can most likely keep a fair bit of these child deals, however they will all be looked over and discussed whether they stay or not. A lot is up in the air right now but I just want to let everybody know that this set WILL be made.
I just wanted to give a small update to clear up any confusion. I will give out updates as everything starts to progress. :thumb:
Cheers,
Steezus

The set is currently set as 3-1-2-3-4-3, however the render displaying the TKL board appears to be 1-1-2-3-4-4.
As I see it, there are three options from which we can choose from. 3-1-2-3-4-3/1-1-2-3-4-3/1-1-2-3-4-4
I would really like to hear everybody's opinion on this on. I personally don't see 3 at the top as the best looking profile. I'd also like to add that if we are quick with this then we can possibly get this set ran rather fast and ahead of other sets waiting as they are adding finishing touches.

I opened the files and checked, and the renders for the G80 are correct, only the TKL is wrong because it was a sudden and later addition after someone requested a render on a black case.
Ah ok, thank you very much for the clarification. That is actually good though, people can see two of the three options. The only difference for the third option is that the bottom row is 3 rather than 4.
My personal vote is with LSB as well with a 1-1-2-3-4-4 look.
Post by: FrostyToast on Wed, 27 January 2016, 17:08:47
However, I can still see it working well with 1-1-2-3-4-4
Post by: Steezus on Wed, 27 January 2016, 17:12:32
One of the main reasons why I chose to go with 3-1-2-3-4-3 is because the profile works better with the r3 relegendable keys.
However, I can still see it working well with 1-1-2-3-4-4
Ah that is a good point. Although I don't have high hopes for the relegendables, we'll definitely keep them in but they may be difficult to reach MOQ. If I recall correctly Skidata+ had some issues reaching MOQ for their relegendables.
At the moment we're just discussion all the kits and seeing if any could be added or what not. We're also looking over the color palette to ensure that they look as close to the renders as possible, I think that is a very important factor in this.

I agree, i think it will be more benefitial to make this able to mix/match with other sets than have relegendables. I also have doubts that it would reach moq

Yeah I personally think it's a better option. I understand the r3 at the top for relegendables but if they're used like in the render then it wouldn't be a problem anyways.
Anybody else have any input on the sculpt?

One subject that I think can still be open up for debate is the sculpt of the set..
The set is currently set as 3-1-2-3-4-3, however the render displaying the TKL board appears to be 1-1-2-3-4-4.
As I see it, there are three options from which we can choose from. 3-1-2-3-4-3/1-1-2-3-4-3/1-1-2-3-4-4
I would really like to hear everybody's opinion on this on. I personally don't see 3 at the top as the best looking profile. I'd also like to add that if we are quick with this then we can possibly get this set ran rather fast and ahead of other sets waiting as they are adding finishing touches.
I love 3-1-2-3-4-3 personally, sounds like I might be the only one. R3 for f-keys looks so much better for f-rows that are disconnected from the numrow, like a lot of TKL+ boards are. It'll look like ****e though on anything in the 75% category where they're smushed up next to each other, it's probably more versatile just to stick to the standard 1-1-2-3-4-4 sculpted profile.
Post by: FrostyToast on Fri, 29 January 2016, 00:59:43
I have to admit that when I first started this interest check I was not very familiar with the SA family at all.
Looking at it now I think that this will best work with 1-1-2-3-4-4.
I realize that most other SA sets use this same profile and it would be nice if those coloured mods could be used to compliment those other sets too :thumb:

It wouldn't work very well unfortunately.
In an effort to accommodate the r3 shift issue they used a profile of 1-2-3-3-3-4

I just wanted to give a small update letting everyone know that this is still very much alive. With help from LSB we have discussed this with Massdrop already, it looks like we'll just be waiting our turn now. I believe there is 2-3 more sets in front of us but they too are finishing up small details. It will give us more time to generate interest as well and for everyone to save up the money. ;)
NICE, one of the few key-sets worth owning here on Geekhack/MassDrop ;) .

I can try to nail down a relative date for the drop, shouldn't be terribly soon, but I feel like knowing is always better than just waiting and having it start up all of a sudden.
I think that's a really good idea. It can help people prepare for the sale and provide some comfort. There is a flood of custom keysets nowadays.
As for everyone else, thank you very much for your support. I hope this becomes a very successful sale and that everyone will be pleased with the outcome. :thumb:

One more thing to note, I completely forgot about homing keys when it came to this keyset :-[

Ahh thank you very much, I completely missed that as well. :p
From what I see looking at other GBs it seems that the general consensus is for scoops. Perhaps if there is enough interest then we can add a kit for bumps/bars as well.

Just give it some time though. 1976 just ran, Jukebox is next up to bat, and then hopefully I can get this. But spacing the retro/vintage themed SA kits out a bit is probably a good idea as well.
This is definitely a very special kit, and something I'm very excited to actually throw on a few keyboards :thumb: Frosty did an amazing job with it for sure.

This is still in the Interest Check stage and yes, please read LivingSpeedbump's post 2 above yours. There is little that can be done until Signature Plastic is caught up on the latest runs and the pending runs that they already have planned ahead of this one.
Penumbra is a separate thread. https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=51026.msg2116288#msg2116288 is the place to post questions about Penumbra. Again, though if another keys uses Signature Plastics, then yes they are delayed as well.

I think there is a difference between the sample color and the color on the mockup.
The color code YCC is exactly the same color code of SA Penumbra set (http://keypuller.com/penumbra-sa/), so the yellow color in reality looks more brighter in your mockup.
If you can design the color which looks exactly the same color on mockup.
I think it will make me feel more classic and vintage.

I'm looking for a nice set for my Access-IS matrix style board, but the sculpted profile makes it hard to use on a non-standard layout. I'm really disappointed that I won't be able to join this one - I'll just keep waiting for more SA row 3 uniform sets or hopefully a Devlin K series set to come along.

Steezus, whom I gave control of the group buy to, has attempted to contact MD and unfortunately has seen no progress.
That unfortunate attempt to no avail has prompted me, now rid of any concern between MD and SP, to retake this buy and attempt to get everything in order.
Thus, I have started a poll (https://www.massdrop.com/vote/Signature-Plastics-RetroBlight-SA) for this keyset.
Please vote and make this a reality!

Shouldn't the 1.75u Shifts in the Tsangan be R4, not R3? Or am I missing something?
Yeah, that's my bad.
The set was in progress before the release of the r4 shifts so I'll have that fixed before the launch.
I'm really quite excited for this set. It seems that we somehow managed 200+ votes in less than 24 hours!

I voted yes. This would look great on that Unicomp PC122 that I've been delaying buying!While I too like the renders, you should realize that this set is not going to be compatible with the Unicomp board.

Judging from the estimated ship date for the Amazing Chocolatier (Feb 6, 2017) you've got a long wait, assuming this is even the next SA profile set that Signature Plastics put into production.

Please make sure you add ISO UK set (edit: sorry I noticed its already there:)
If alphas are like those in Penumbra, which ones are they. Solarised or mega yellow ones?
Post by: WASD_Greg on Sun, 25 September 2016, 10:33:27
Are the different kits in the OP already final?
If not, I have two suggestions:
1) Add the missing F5 to F8 caps to the alpha kit (in the same colour as the alphas).
2) Add another modifier kit in the same colour as the colour of the alpha kit. I for one would really enjoy a complete board in the yellowish/off white colour of the alpha kit.
Edit:
3) It's great that you offer a G80-1800 kit. I would be interested in one. However, your kit seems to be missing a 1.75u shift key and the buttom row with the 1u modifiers for the win-key version as well as the 6u/7u space bars?

I was momentarily excited there was a real update :|
Unfortunately, SP doesn't offer 6u SA profile spacebars and the yellow modifier kit probably wouldn't hit MOQ. In addition, you would see there are multiple 1.75 shift keys, 7u spacebars, and OS keys among the planned kits if you clicked a few of the

We just had a bad (good!) run of keycap drops too, with Godspeed, Grand Budapest, Borealis, Skidata, Nantucket, and more within the last couple months. Excruciating.

The render on page one appears to show this keyset in a Unicomp 122-key case and a GH-122 PCB. That case is ~20 bucks, and a small run of the PCBs would be around ~50 each. 120 switches are ~40 from sennin32. With a Teensy and shipping, say $150 (without a plate) for the keyboard ready for keycaps.

Could the Unicomp 122 actually be a case option for a GH-122?
Post by: samwisekoi on Wed, 23 November 2016, 10:46:02
Could the Unicomp 122 actually be a case option for a GH-122?
Yup. The PCB was designed to fit in that case. The block spacing (0.34". 0.33", 0.33") matches. It can't curve* but otherwise, yes.
In fact I will be posting some pics in the GH-122 Case thread this weekend.

(Auto-typed by my GH36 Matrix Keypad.)
{edit]
*Specifically, the GH-122 PCB cannot curve from top-to-bottom like an IBM F, M, or AT keyboard. However, what it can do is be cut and bent to enable the upper bank(s) of switches to be angled towards the user as in the IBM/Unicomp case. This is fully supported by the GH-122.2016 PCB.

Hi, I did not mean any offence! Is there anything I can give a hand with? I have a basic experience of 3d modelling/texturing and editing raster/vector images. If it's a matter of rendering stuff from more angles, tweaking colors/icons I could probably do some of that.

Why is the alternate os kit R3, should't it be R4 based on the profile change?
Also, is there be a chance for 1.5u raptor / terminal keys?
The r3 is a typo and there is also no chance for 1.5u raptor keys. It's quite uncommon to see OS keys on 1.5u keys.

I think a lot of people would like to buy both RetroBlight and SA 1965. I would.
In the light of this, it might be a good idea to postpone the GB stage for RetroBlight until January/February 2017?
That way both sets could have better chances to reach higher MOQs. At least it would give people a chance to recover a little. I know I would have a hard time dealing with the costs of both sets in the same month.

#1 The two keypad kits look identical. If they are supposed to be different, could one of them have a 1u + and a 1u = ?
(http://i.imgur.com/Gf4srEF.png) (http://i.imgur.com/Gf4srEF.png)
#2 There does not seem to be any way of getting classic arrows. Perhaps they could be made available?
#3 With a sculpted profile (great!) the R3 relegendables will be a mis-match in many places, but especially above the function row in a large-format keyboard. Perhaps a dozen R1 blanks as a kit?
Anyhow, thanks for pushing this forward. I am still in!

1. The second kit was actually an 1800 kit which has been fixed and does have the 1u + key you wanted.
2. The arrows could be an option but I don't know if there is enough interest to bother adding them.
3. The relegendables are meant to fill entire banks of keys and actually fit quite well. You can see in the render using the 2100/f122 case that the r3 relegendables blend in well.

MassDrop is desperate for some healthy competition.
Signature Plastics/PMK is who really needs some competition! The price should definitely be able to go lower and if nothing else the production timeline/waiting could definitely use a HUGE amount of competition.
Post by: brianjking on Tue, 27 December 2016, 19:25:16
I'd love to see this in GMK/Cherry profile too -- is that even an option? I know many people love SA, I haven't yet had the chance to try a set yet, however, I do know that I love the just a few months (max) to get the keysets produced is much better than likely late 2017 to early 2018 for SA via Signature Plastics.

- Basekit has duplicate R1 esc key, probably a leftover from when this set was considered 3-1-2-3-4-3 not 1-1-2-3-4-3
- 6u SA spacebar does not exist keycapsdirect.com/pdfs/SAFamily.pdf
- Adding Page down in R3 and R4 and Page up in R2 and R3 in the Tsangan kit would allow for many 65%, 75% and similar layouts.
- I'd merge G80-1800 with Numpad.
Otherwise a fantastic set and I won't be able to withstand, you have my wallet!

Hmm, after receiving my SA Penumbra keyset, which uses YCC for alphas like this set does, I have to change my mind about buying this. The renders do not represent YCC accurately IMO, they are way more yellow in real life (I'm using a color calibrated IPS to look at the renders). Good luck nonetheless!What about change "YCC" to mild brown in "TM"?

Hard to say, I think a Pantone could be picked to achieve that exact color, and given its for the alphas, it would be well worth it IMO.

This is interesting. This set happened to exist already.

MaxKey doing this set would be an embarrassment, because they don't even have an ISO enter keycap.

For the most part, I could have this set rolled out within the next few days, however, I have chosen to wait longer and re-review the colour choices to ensure that there aren't any regrets for the final product.
From looking at various different renders of what the set would look like, I have decided to test out a different colour for the mod. I realise there may not be enough contrast between the alphas and mods which give off a "washed-out" appearance. By using darker coloured mods I hope that each of the colours in the set will be able to stand out more.
After I receive a render with the new mod colour, I will compare the two and choose which of them I like better.
Hopefully, this can be started within the next 2-3 weeks. Thank you all for your patience and support!

Why only the ergokit has all row3 but no “all row3” alpha to match this？
Since Ergodox kits are typically low in demand, using uniform row 3 mods for the set will bring down the cost a great deal.
In all honesty, it doesn't actually look terrible as I've seen with other sets which do the same thing.

It's not good to use a alpha kit with various profile for different rows, and a all row 3 profile ergodox kit.
The usual sold number of MD SA keycap set show that there are hundreds sold in each GB. I guess it's similar for this RetroBlight keycap set. It should still roll out the ergodox kit to be various profile to match the alpha kit. As for the cost, it should come after the fitness/compleion of the kits. I don't think the cost would be a major issue in this case. Since so many keycap GBs did well in sold number, even though the costs came high.

I've become a lot less active as of late, and I do apologize for that, however this is still in progress and nearly ready.

So nice to hear that the GB is about to start. Finally after waiting for years. Badly need this keycap set and all the keycaps to cover my keyboards.
Please update all the final layouts of all kits, and make these render pictures. I need a R1 1u backslash, a R2 1.5u backspace to cover my HHKB layout. We had been discussed this requirement on the MD poll page. I got your response to add them. But I don't see any update to the layout picture yet.

...If it launched today it could be shipped by September 2018! Not sarcastic - just seems like a good time to receive a delivery. The colours are a bit autumny as well...

+1 to this. Would really like to see these caps for full MX HHKB coverage.

I would buy at least two sets of this.

It's missing a R2 backspace key, which might have put people off, but for me this set would be going onto my cream filco tkl anyhoo.
Is there a sign-up list where I'll be notified when it goes live?

I love this set but it is dead, unfortunately. Would you like to take over?
I think it's a nice keyset and the best option would be that OP carries on it. If there is anything I could do for it, I'm happy to help. I sent a message to OP asking for the status but got no response yet.

On hold is waaaaaaay better then Cancelled!

Just to be clear, that is not an official status update from anyone involved in the set - just my very neutral way of at least not getting people's hopes up. I can only hope it's still planned and on hold! ;)
