Looking more into this in the IC thread I also found captain's pic which seems to be more natural/dim light. This is what my office and home computer room are like light-wise with shades down and a 60 watt bulb or two. Keys always look much brighter when I buy them on here vs seeing them in person on a day-to-day basis.

What does everyone Think about black font color?

I would have to see what it looks like across all keys before making up my mind, but for right now I think black font will ruin the appeal for me.

same here. i feel like black font will ruin this set

Boo black legends. Order more, people! I thought this had more interest. We need to get this to at least 50...

yeah black legends would ruin it becasue it would take the brightness away from it, and remove all that swagger

more orders people!!!!!

still at 15 sets and no word from Melissa about the ISO. I will email her today, maybe she forgot about my email.

I should do next month's GH gb in these colors. Maybe people will see them and join.

yeah I have to say I REALLY want that ISO set and would be willing to pay a decent amount for it as without it my keyboard would look odd.. or I'd have to by a new one (which I'd probally do)...

I got a response back from SP about getting a Prototype done. It will cost $65 for 1 prototype using RCR(pink) on VBV(teal). This will help everyone get a better idea of how the color combo will work.

If anyone would like to chip in to help cover a small part of the prototype fee it would be greatly appreciated.
For every person that helps with this fee I will give them 1 Red on White GeekHack...

Please PM me for paypal information.

Until we can get a prototype done I am putting this group buy on hold. For those that placed an order it will still be valid when orders are re-opened.

Thank You

Kind of sad a lot of the GHers in the IC haven't jumped on. Must've blew their wad on those KMACs floating around or Group Buy Round 4.

I can send in $10, but post your Paypal email in the OP.

This is true and the million other buys going on right now :-/

I'm also on the fence here about the colors now since I have the original F5/F6 keys from the IC thread. I don't want to derail this order thread though, so I won't go into my reasons why

captain · « **Reply #82 on:** Sat, 12 May 2012, 17:20:51 »

I don't want to be a wet blanket, but I don't see how throwing money at a single prototype is going to help anything. It still has to go through the digitizing process (taking pictures) and colors never translate well, so it'll still be a single person's (boost's) call, and we already have the color chips, so that call should have already been made... It just seems like a waste of money to me; money better spent on making sure that SP doesn't screw up any of their usual things to screw up on. Also, I'd insist, from now on on all SP buys, that they take extra care to mitigate the visibility of the frontal sprue marks. That's the biggest annoyance with SP caps IMHO--followed by a laundry list, but y'all know all about that, right? ;-)

boost: I'm pretty sure that SP is closed Fri-Sun. You'll be waiting until Monday, at least... and Sunday is Mother's day, so if Melissa is a mother, she may take Monday off to recover.

Well, the Koreans managed to get a fantastic set out of SP. Maybe we need to enlist their help? ripster seems to have a pretty good grasp of how they did it. Let's put him in charge of all SP coördination from now on! ;-)

As Melissa and others have expressed concerns about, we want to see the contrast between the two colors (key cap vs legend) as it would look on an actual key. A few people were willing to shell out a couple bucks each to find out before a bunch of people shelled out $50+ each and got upset it wasn't what they envisioned. Each person who chose to donate did it knowing it was just that.

I also trust boost's eye in person as he did not lead us astray with his opinion on the SHS colors "in person".

I'm hoping for the best because I need me some brightness.

Is that a double shot? Looks like there is a gap/indentation around the legend.

I hope people get interested in this set again. I can see wallets being stretched thin with all the other group buys going on, but who cares about being broke so long as we have this set? Nobody, that's who.

Keeping a close eye on this group buy for sure.

Edit:
I will have to edit my order I think. What did I order?

When will orders close?
Will the modifiers still be teal on pink?
