Author Topic: Doubleshot Linux Super Key (Read 32039 times)

wuzle · « **on:** Wed, 09 March 2011, 12:37:54 »

Updated

I thought I would try and add some keys for Linux users to the Round 3 doubleshot order. They are white-on-black 1.25 width keys. Meant to replace the 'Windows' or Super key.

GNOME

Derived from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Gnomelogo.svg

LINUX

Derived from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Tux.svg

To order, just follow the instructions in Round 3, and use the following Order-IDs:

GNOME
LINUX

Attached are the svg files for these keys, feel free to edit the keys, there is always room for improvement.

I'd get a couple.

gohu · « **Reply #2 on:** Wed, 09 March 2011, 12:46:27 »

Great idea!
I'd take 4.
A tux logo of course, anything else is way too specific.

white on black? I'd be down for 2

wuzle · « **Reply #4 on:** Wed, 09 March 2011, 13:18:05 »

Just taking a quick look around. Tux might be tough since it is a pretty intricate shape.

Gnome, would probably be the easiest:

Debian is probably too thin:

A simple Linux Mint could be doable with a little modification:

I'm down for at least 2. Ripster has posted a tux key before, not sure if it is a doubleshot though.

I fear it would look horrible (both the GNU and Tux).

I agree, gnu and tux would not look good. Or it would require an artistic touch to make them look good which I don't have.

What about the gnome or linux mint logos?

wuzle · « **Reply #9 on:** Wed, 09 March 2011, 16:20:49 »

Here is an svg for a gnome 1.25 key. Hopefully I did it right.

So how do I add this key to the official voting?

If I have time I might take a crack at a tux key, although I am beginning to like the gnome key, it is growing on me.

I'm off for holly days until Sunday 20th March 2011!

The vote-system will work without me. Just send your order lists to me, 7bit_vote.

You will get some statistics from time to time.

Don't ask 7bit or me any questions during that time. We will not answer!

There will be no update of payment status. Anybody should keep track of that themselves! It is sufficient to pay when I'm back again.

For questions, please read the first post in the main thread.

Have a lot of fun ...

ps: gnome key looks great!

Naming convention:
If you invent a new kit, please find a good Order-ID-name. It should not interfere with current names and thould not be too long, but must be at least 5 chars long. If you introduce kits with more than one color, name them with the color following the title!

Ok, I am going to switch TUX to LINUX. Hope this doesn't make things more confusing. If you already voted for TUX, just PM the following to 7bit_vote:

TUX 0

I think you would have to pick which row you would want the key in, I believe each row has a different key profile. You could setup a Order-ID and see how many votes you get.

Here are the voting results so far:

I think we need to make it to 25 for them to be $5/key. So lets get some more votes!

wuzle · « **Reply #26 on:** Mon, 14 March 2011, 16:15:55 »

GNU seemed just to difficult to do given the requirements of a double shot key. ie, small features aren't allowed. If you want to take a crack at the svg, go for it. It seemed too daunting to me.

So, there is no GNU key at the moment unless someone comes up with a compliant svg.

JBert · « **Reply #27 on:** Tue, 15 March 2011, 16:14:09 »

Although it pains me as a Vim user, the GNU Emacs project has a stylized gnu logo. Maybe it could serve as a base?

Looks like LINUX will get made, just need 2 more to reach the $5 each threshold. The GNOME key still needs some help.

Also, anyone have suggestions on how to improve the LINUX key? I am not 100% happy with it, and might take another crack at improving it.

Sure it looks better on a white background, but we can't have that here because it's meant to be printed on a grey key. Just try to reverse black and white again and see how it looks then.

Not a fan of the gaps. It just messes up things, especially at the bottom.
I don't think the foot geometry is more important than the look overall.

From the mother thread:

Quote from: 7bit;321496

Hi folks!

I got a response from SP that the following SGV-files need to be modified to meet production requirements:

TUXKEY4.svg: feet must be 0.020" away from the body (currently only 0.010") which is 0.25mm instead of the required 0.5mm!

lotus.svg: leaves are too close to each other. The closest distances between them must be 0.5mm.

Can somebody look at that SVG?

wuzle · « **Reply #55 on:** Wed, 30 March 2011, 16:50:18 »

I am confused, from the SVG guide it says:

"gaps between lines must be at least 0.5mm"
"all lines must be at least 0.2mm thick"

In the linux key, the white space is what is considered the lines. As a result, the space between the body and feet should follow the "at least 0.2mm thick" rule, which it does.

I did notice in the SVG, that the white part is white, and the background is transparent. In the instructions, it says it says the shapes (lines) should be black and the background transparent. Maybe this caused the confusion?

I just looked a bit closer. I found some lines to be around 0.17mm .

Is it possible to make them around 0.35 mm?

In both graphics, the eyes are are wrong and still the visible section is not large enough on the bottom and top and too large at the sides!

If the eyes are any wider, the spacing between the eyes and distance from the side of the head will be greater than 0.5mm.

Did you ever here from SP about if they were mistaken in the spacing? Ie reversing what was a line and what was transparent that results in the spacing requirement being 0.5mm for the gap between the feet and body.

Also, I too don't see the cutoff circle at the bottom.

Yes, this is exactly the problem with increasing size of the eyes. I think I fixed the problem where the ends of the eyes were "too tiny."

Also, I did notice where the sides of the SVG were too wide. I trimmed the document size to fit the circle exactly. Please check TuxKey8. Thanks.

I'm quite sure that the original version 4 is OK for the 1.25 units key. But on a 1 units key it will come out smaller!

Can you please take version 4 and make the tux in the circle as large as possible, without changing the relations of the parts of the tux?

Or maybe even a version where the tux sticks out of the circle with his feet and top section of his head.

wuzle · « **Reply #66 on:** Fri, 01 April 2011, 15:08:45 »

How about these. I created one that fits in the 1.0 width keys so they have a 9.04x10.84mm page size. And this svg will be used for both keys, unscaled just centered on both.

The 1.0 key (TUX):

The 1.25 key (LINUX):

And the svg is attached.

I think the version 9 is suitable for dopuble shot, except for the bottom area between the legs. The height must be around 0.5mm (currently only 0.4mm)

All other sections are OK.

You could even make the gape between body and feet a bit closer (0.25mm) when you blow the tux up within the circle, such that it is 0.25mm away from the circle (feet and head).

I went back to the SVG keycap howto instructions and tried getting all the measurements right. The eyes are hard to get right, because the left eye (from our point of view) is too close to the side of Tux's head. So I gave Tux some goggles so he wouldn't look like one eye was cut off. When shrunk down to the size of a key cap, the problem will be less noticeable.

OK, I've taken TuxKey9.svg and pulled the eyes from TuxKey4.svg, then put it in a circle so that the gap between his feet and head and the edge of the circle is 0.25mm.

Keeping my fingers crossed.

Best version ever!

Thanks!

Can you please make 2 versions, one with changes only to the bottom section and one where the eyes are 0.05mm wider apart and the head is 0.05mm thicker at both sides (ie 0.1mm thicker in total)?

Here is my version of TuxKey9 with TuxKey4 eyes:

OK, we are very close to the final solution:

Eyes in yiur version are a bit smaller than those from Fwiffo!

I prefer the larger eyes!

Maybe it is possible to take those and, if necessary, enlarge the head a slight bit, such that dists are 0.5!

Left: eyes are OK, right: eyes are too small!

I am not going to have any time to do more edits for the next couple of days.

My favorite version is TuxKey9-1, I have played with head size, eye size and tons of other proportions and this I think is the best solution. It looks a little cross-eyed, but I printed this version out at actual size and you don't notice it.

Also, TuxKey4 is my favorite if we are just talking about a 1.25 width key.

Yay!

Will this be used for the 1.0 key, 1.25 key, or both?

I think for both.

I hope they don't complain about the eyes. Well, we will see.

In the worst case, the eyes must be enlarged a bit.

I'm just saying bigger eyes would be better.

Larger eyes == larger head.

I will give it a try ...

I still like the white on black tux. Maybe for Round 4:

LINUXGHOST

wuzle.
i like the LINUXGHOST too. especially if it was in a black circle on a white or yellow key.
i'd get some if available in round 4.

In fact we just do an intermediate shipping and continue with the 2nd half of keys right away ...

Here is what I will send to SP now:

There will be a tux on a white key in Round 4. And if you like, the ghost tux as well ...

The problem with putting it in a circle is that you have to make the head bigger and the eyes smaller like the current version (7bit's version above). ie, for doubleshots, the key part (black in LINUXGHOST) must be at least 0.5mm, and the doubleshot part (white in LINUXGHOST) must be 0.2mm. So with LINUXGHOST it works out better because you are using the smaller dimension for a lot of the intricate parts of the shape. When you put it in a circle, this is reversed and you lose some of the detail.

Yes, but the Tux looks strange when it has not the correct color. It would be better to put it onto a white key.

I like the linuxghost better than the circled one ...

He's cute sure ;-)

Oooh I want a few of those! Also a Tux escape key

You know what would be awesome? Keys for popular websites like Phoronix, Slashdot, Reddit, [strike]Facebook[/strike], etc.

Those might make me go back to using a full sized keyboard as a daily driver so I could put those on the F-row and bind them to open the specific websites.

Holy smokes that would ROCK!:dance::roll:

Then again for all I know you guys had that already in group buy 1 or 2 where I did not participate

NimbleRabit · « **Reply #100 on:** Tue, 05 April 2011, 18:03:25 »

I think the linuxghost looks awful, glad we didn't go with that one.

Perfect, except that the black body parts left and right end way ahead of the feet. Don't know why they could not be closer, but at least they did them like in the graphics we've submitted. Also, no quality issues like with the Awesome face.

Just nitpicking: you can't see it in the pictures but the white parts of the LINUX key have some very minor shrinking. This in turn results in what appears to be a scratch on the surface.

I haven't got a decent camera a the moment so any pictures I take don't show this little detail, but you can spot it when light falls sideways on the key. You just might want to take care next time you design a key with a large surface of infill as I think it is the double-shot process and not SP's fault.

woody · « **Reply #107 on:** Wed, 06 July 2011, 04:54:34 »

Yup, the white part of the penguin has shrinking which looks like scratches.

vhaarr · « **Reply #108 on:** Wed, 10 August 2011, 06:19:56 »

I got the Tux and GNOME keys yesterday along with the rest of my #3 order, and I must say they look fantastic. I am very pleased with them, thanks to all who worked on the SVGs and of course to iMav and 7bit.

I already put in an order for buy #4, more Tux and Gnome yay!

Would be awesome if someone could make a /. key, and perhaps a Firefox/Mozilla one as well.
