Definitely in for this set! Will look great on my first board build!

Wow, this really came around full swing from the beginning. This is now totally matching in form and colorway. Great job. Had to "mark" the thread since now I am in!

drpatrickbateman · « **Reply #153 on:** Sat, 27 February 2016, 10:30:11 »

I'm definitely interested in this!

Xiro7 · « **Reply #154 on:** Sat, 27 February 2016, 18:00:38 »

I really want this set. Really like the colors and the Novelties could really make this kit.

I'm wondering if there's a chance we could get a gamer kit in aurebesh added???

Good idea!

I've been busy with work and some other terrible crap the last couple weeks but I've been slowly working on some changes and stuff when I've had some free time. I'll be updating the OP in the next day or 2 most likely. Novelties are still a work in progress but I have some ideas. 3D renders will also be done when I get a bit closer to finalizing all the sets.

Thanks also to everyone for checking it out.

Just a question about white vs. grey keycaps:

Would we need to worry about discolouration more on the white caps? I can imagine that they look nicer new out of the box, but if they start yellowing early on, I feel like it'd make sense to just standardise on a more robust grey/orange/black set.

mastermachetier · « **Reply #169 on:** Sat, 05 March 2016, 12:16:50 »

Honestly that planck set with arubesh I cannot wait just hope its not prohibitively expensive. Great work btw love the udpate.

However I would like it all in the Basic no english.

Are you saying you would want everything done? I kept it to the alpha's and recently added the punctuation keys as I feel that is still reasonable cost wise. Doing everything, it is $5k+ in just legend fee's.

Jedi · « **Reply #176 on:** Sat, 12 March 2016, 09:28:58 »

Seriously here's what I want to just throw out there for you. Mock up three different sets, your color schemes are fantastic. Orange and white and charcoal are definitely the craze now and it will go excellent with a side project I am working on too geared towards the SW theme. Run the GB through whatever channel you prefer. Then when it ends, run the next theme maybe with legends, maybe not, completely up to you. Own the GB!

Next run add a little extra, take a little out, people will go scrambling trading for the sets and options they wish they bought into and you'll have a better idea of what sold well and what needs to be set aside for another time.

Just some random thoughts tossed on my screen to see what sticks

Well, here was my initial 'goal' that I wasn't sure how I wanted to go about it. Should I attempt each set separately, or run everything in one? Individually would mean I could do a few set specific novelties and whatnot. Altogether would be set up similar to how it is now except orange, white, red and gray alpha base kits with the white and gray modifier kits and all sets interchangeable. Anyways:

X-Wing:
Current set in OP

B-Wing:

A-Wing:

Y-Wing:

roostrc0gburn · « **Reply #178 on:** Sat, 12 March 2016, 17:38:47 »

should be 3 runs, much like GMK mods and MOZ's royal alpha sets

I agree, and if this set does well enough and there's demand, I would be down for that. If not, I have other ideas for a couple other possible sets. These are really old and rough ideas that haven't been developed that well but:

Boba Fett:

Han Solo:

Jawa:

Jedi · « **Reply #180 on:** Sun, 13 March 2016, 09:44:05 »

Yep, but change the names on these sets. After all, there is no resemblance expressed or implied with any keyset as these are simply colorways being applied to various keyboard types. There can also be said that no novelty keys are suggestive of any theme or implied theme. I would edit a few of the posts (#177). Some more ideas can also be added for a super dark black with a dark gray modifier set to remind us of a darker era where untold huge star fleets could only exist

I'm not sure I'm totally following you. You are basically saying to change the name and get rid of the Star Wars theme and have no Star Wars inspired novelties? Why would I do that?

Well, if you look at the From the Vault thing that they were trying to do a few months back SP decided that since Nuka Cola was a Trademark of Bethesda's they would not make it, seeing as they don't want to get sued. Since Star Wars is quite a bit bigger than Fallout, I figure they would be more reluctant to make sets with things on it that obviously carry Disney's Trademark. But if you look at, for example, the Troubled Minds set, which obviously had an Eva on it, or the latest Granite set, which had a full Elven alphas set, if you design the legends and they are not explicitly from something (Just implicitly), then they will probably do it. So call the Han Solo set Smuggler or something.

Jedi · « **Reply #184 on:** Sun, 13 March 2016, 16:46:22 »

Yes. This^^^

Pwner · « **Reply #185 on:** Sun, 13 March 2016, 18:17:19 »

Oh I'm aware of the copyright issues. That's why I haven't posted up novelties yet. I've contacted Disney a few times on the possibility of licensing a few images but haven't gotten anywhere in that regard. Regardless, I do have some ideas that fit the theme but are different enough that shouldn't cause issue. And yes, I obviously wouldn't call a set Han Solo, those were just listed to state what they drew inspiration from.

Jedi · « **Reply #186 on:** Sun, 13 March 2016, 20:42:28 »

Its all good man and we are all 100% down on wanting this to run through, its just that we want to go to SP with this whole thing as a made up idea and that it in no way was played off any other known ideas. Theres just an incredible amount of work that you have done already and that doesn't include your time spent putting all this together for us here on geekhack. With much respect and appreciation for what you've done thus far, I'm just putting it out there that we would want to bring this to SP as a Pwner inspired keyset and that's all. Any resemblance to anything fact or fictional is purely coincidence.

I get where you're coming from. If it needs to be modified in order to run through SP, then so be it. Aurebesh has been done before without any problems so I don't see any issue there. Nothing was said when I got the price quotes for it as well. SP has even printed the Rebel and Imperial logos before on a round of granite if I'm not mistaken. I don't plan on using those so that doesn't matter. We'll see what happens. Like I said, I'm fine with modifying it if I have to in order for it to be done, I would just like to try and keep it as Rebel inspired as I can.

Thank you for the feedback, much appreciated.

Jedi · « **Reply #189 on:** Sun, 13 March 2016, 22:01:14 »

Go all in dude, don't hold back on your ideas, just that they are Pwner's own work and inspired off colors and ideas he came up with for this buy. I don't see you'll have any trouble as long as they come from your inspiration, doesn't matter that someone else guesses it came from something that it didn't. Look at Troubled Minds, it was a well thought out and inspired kit that has novelties and a great colorway, same as Rebel.

One more thought, I'd put up the name of the keyset for the IC to give you some ideas. Pick and choose. Its just a name, heck I still get "confused" and I still call Troubled Minds the J***r set, just like we would call this one the R***l set.

Working on novelties:

Most of my inspiration currently:

I'd like to have some 1u, but I'm not quite sure what to do yet. Maybe I'll just have those relegendables so you can do the Rebel Alliance logo or something since they probably wont be printed. The bottom row will be yellow polycarb caps to simulate the visor. They are 1u and 1.75u with the intent to use them as 'windowed' caps [Caps Lock, Num Lock, Scroll Lock] with a couple extra in case someone wanted to do the WASD or arrow cluster or something else instead.

OP was updated earlier. Trying to 'optimize' the kits to keep the prices good for everyone. Gamer kit was also redone. I took a suggested idea and did the Aurebesh WASD keys, works out perfect I think just in case the Aurebesh alpha's don't tip, at least we'll have another chance to incorporate some.

This is still an interest check, the set has not been made so once the group buy is setup by Pwner, he will update the thread.

TLDR; you still have time
