i hope it come soon

If 2017 is soon to you, then yes. 


While I'm here:
Sculpted with white mods?
Uniform R3 with both mod options?

I'll get a legit poll up sometime.

Uniform please! Not enough uniform sets out there. And it's inspired by a uniform right? (heh)

[B1G_B1RD]

I think with either sculpted or uniform i would buy it though im interested in trying out a uniform set. Excited for this set to drop, whenever it does.

[Phenix]

Out of interest:
Is DSA and laying a piece of wood under thr keyboard similar to (all R3)?

[MediocreBadGuy23]

Damn this looks nice too. Too many interest checks for Keysets man!

[UsualSuspectXXX]

Not in the slightest. They have a much different feel to them since the SA are very thick ABS and the DSA are a bit thinner  and (usually) PBT.

If/when a poll goes up, sculpted will be my vote, hoping that interest is shared by others, as this'd be a lovely set.

No updates on any sort of time frame yet.  Regardless, we are closing in on 1100 votes on MD, so thanks for all the support!

I've been working on the set in my free time, I have quite a few tweaks & changes coming.  I've also been working on a cleaner 2D render, not quite as nice as T0mb3ry's, but I think it will look much better than the KLE renders.  Here's a small preview:



Thanks again for the support.

Not that bad, kind like it. :thumb: But I suggest to use the pure color backgrounds, its easy for read and focus on the main porject.

The 2D render looks great, I love the Aurebesh alphas as I've previously stated and am really holding out hope it sees production soon enough. 2017 will be a busy year for MD and SP, tons of cool SA/DSA sets in both the massdrop and production queues.

[Calmfixup]

Sculpted or not, this set is a must have for sure!

[deeoh]

I'm still on board for uniform profile. Most likely, these will go on an Atreus, I just have to buy and build one first...

[Hypocaffeinic]

In terms of profile I rather like the sound of the r2 - r2 - r3 - r3 - r3 profile used in the capsule Cockpit kit of Godspeed. Not completely flat, not profoundly sculpted.

I own both flat and sculpted sets and find the former much easier typing experience, but the overall difference wouldn't stop me buying any particular set.

[phinix]

Is this going via Massdrop or GB here?

Kind of curious about that profile as well.  I tried my brothers R3 Ice Cap set and I found it quite nice.  I guess we can wait and see what the verdict is on the 22333 profile.  I'm assuming that will be in peoples hands before this set even drops.

Is this going via Massdrop or GB here?

Massdrop, sometime next year.

[Vigrith]

I like r3, I have an ice cap set too and it feels great - I don't mind sculpted either though, just not as much my cup of tea for the most part. I think 2-2-3-3-3-3 will be a nice compromise and I definitely see more sets in the future offering an option similar to Mito's Cockpit kit.

Hoping this set and Miami Dolch come up on Massdrop as soon as possible come next year, SP's back log is gigantic.

[e_l_tang]

Would it be possible to have an option where all the alphanumeric keys are in Aurebesh?

[Pwner]

That is an option.. unless I am misunderstanding your question.

[e_l_tang]

Sorry, by "alphanumeric" I meant the punctuation keys as well. The punctuation keys look like they have regular legends in the renders.



You can install an Aurebesh font to see some of the symbols that are not included here.

Ah I thought that's what you might've been saying.  It was like that at one point.  The thing is, as it stands, the Aurebesh option already has 36 custom legends.  Do we need to add 10+ more?  I'm not sure yet.  Maybe there wouldn't be a significant price change by adding a few more.  I was trying to keep a balance of look and cost factor and that was why I went with centered mono legends.  I'll revisit this when it gets closer to drop time.

[Vigrith]

I like the full Aurebesh layout but if adding the extra 10 drives up the cost like crazy it may not be worth it, have novelties and stuff to play around with regardless. If not then I'm definitely all for it.

PS: Ghost rules, that avatar's is sick.

[e_l_tang]

I just find it more logical and aesthetically pleasing for all the keys that type characters to have either standard legends or Aurebesh legends.

What process are you going to be using to make the legends? If they're going to be dye-sublimated, I don't see how they could cost much more. If they're going to be double-shot, they might, but I have a feeling that any additional costs will be rendered insignificant by the popularity of the drop.

They will be doubleshot.

25 sets                   $82.08 per set
50 sets                   $53.00 per set
100 sets                 $38.46 per set

That was the quotes I got back in February for the Aurebesh set with 26 custom legends being A-Z.  I've since added 0-9 and adding punctuation would bring it up to 22 or so more custom legends, nearly doubling that price.  Would Massdrop be able to get better pricing?  Probably.  I'll mock-up and few options and get quotes when the set has a drop date.

[Vigrith]

Anything under like $60-70 would be a win in my book if you get every single legend in Aurebesh, $40~ (even 50) at 200 for the ones you currently have would be awesome because it's basically the same price as one pays for standard Latin and the MOQ would be hit with absurd ease.

[Fibonacci_Jones]

If everything were Aurebesh, that'd be awesome but if we get at least the alphas, I'm 100% in. I'm always waiting for updates to this thread as I'm so excited for it.

I'm going to get the new renders finished then I'll send some mock-ups to SP and get some quotes.

[philipVick]

Please keep us updated.
 I am definitely in.

[JSaintS]

Just voted on the Massdrop poll! just wished you added the iso kit aswell ^^

I'm in for one (and an iso kit if you decide to add it)

[fax668]

ISO FTW!

[armatus]

is it possible to add aurebesh punctuation keys as additional pack?

[Pwner]

ISO kit, standard alphas and numpad kits will certainly be included.  They weren't added to the MD poll because I wanted to gauge interest in the other kits I wasn't sure about.

is it possible to add aurebesh punctuation keys as additional pack?

I will be looking at getting quotes and different variations of the aurebesh kit.  I don't really want to break it out in to another kit, if anything they will just be added to the aurebesh kit.

[feediko]

I hope you are going to stick with the Alt Gr layer on the inernational kit. Most GBs have been avoiding it recently, which makes a set less desirable to me.

Im restructuring some sets as I work on the new renders but Alt Gr will be staying. 

[pon10]

Set looks awesome!! what have have been on the drawing board regarding manufacturers? SP or GMK? AND BIG UP FOR SETTING UP THE INTERNATIONAL KIT

[Fictiouz]

SA profile is only offered by SP.

Thanks! was looking but i could not see on the OP what profile it was meant for. SA awesomeness, coooool but then we have to wait maybe start 18 haha

[UshiroGeri]

These are amazing definitely want to buy!!

A bit of a noob question but approximately how much would it cost, once their out, to get enough of these for a tada68?

[lydiainmint]

Any new year updates on the drop?

Negative, I haven't heard a thing.

I'm sorry if the question has already been answered, will we have a choice of regular alpha or aurebesh or is it aurebesh only?

You are a gentleman, and a scholar. Thank you.

[a_ak57]

This is a really sharp looking set.  Could you please look into adding a 6u space bar?  The Danger Zone had one so it's not unprecedented for SP/SA, especially with Massdrop's weight behind this.

[Niomosy]

Negative, I haven't heard a thing.

Sounds like MassDrop SOP these days.  I wish they were better at communication with those trying to set up buys.

Love the color scheme
Love even more that it's SA
Love it a ****ing **** ton that it's star wars
Absolutely hate that it's r3

Yeah I definitely would have liked to see it in 1-1-2-3-4-3...I was thinking about picking up a set with aurebesh, and then picking up another set of standard alphas to mix and match with SA Dasher (blue and orange are my company colors and I think those would juxtapose quite nicely, especially with the light blue in there)

Anyways, I have never owned an R3 keyset so I can't say, but I can tell you that I've avoided purchasing them thus far, if that means anything.

I guess I see why a flat profile might be chosen because of the non-standard alphas, uniform gives it a "sci-fi" look...but with how bright this keyset is going to be with the orange, I feel like a super bright keyset would look a little better sculpted. Don't ask me why, I just have a feeling it would.

Then again, I've never used R3 so what do I know?

R3 is good.  I like the 'retro' look of SA but I don't really care for sculpted.  There are a ton of sculpted sets out and that are in progress already and I know there are plenty of people like me who enjoy R3.  Ultimately, I'm not going to design/get a set made that I wont enjoy.
