[IC] TF2 class icons (all 9!) cherry mx keycap
« on: Sat, 26 May 2012, 17:25:30 »
As a Team Fortress 2 fanatic, I'm thinking of ordering some themed R4, ctrl, and win-key double-shot custom keycaps from SignaturePlastics or WASDKeyboards:

[ Attachment Invalid Or Does Not Exist ] 51953[/ATTACH]  Esc
[ Attachment Invalid Or Does Not Exist ] 51954[/ATTACH] [ Attachment Invalid Or Does Not Exist ] 51952[/ATTACH] Ctrl/Alt
[ Attachment Invalid Or Does Not Exist ] 51951[/ATTACH] [ Attachment Invalid Or Does Not Exist ] 51949[/ATTACH] R4

Here are the official icons:
http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Category:Class_icons

Pricing (for wasdkeyboards.com):
    Buy 2 for $7.50 each and save 25%
    Buy 3 for $6.00 each and save 40%
    Buy 5 for $5.00 each and save 50%
    Buy 10 for $3.50 each and save 65%
    Buy 25 for $2.00 each and save 80%
    Buy 50 for $1.50 each and save 85%

Anyone interested?

I've never done this before, so you'll have to bare with me as I figure out how it's done, but I'm a reliable person and will get it done :)

I think a dyesub key from SP (or Imsto if they SP brings up copyright issues) will give us a better key :o.

well, if you're going dye sub.. might as well look at trying to do a set of different legends?

hopefully you don't run into any copyright problems...

I can probably get permission to use it if copyright becomes an issue. I've got TF2 connexx :P

So, you can still get a discount for buying in bulk with different images on the keys, am I to understand?

If so, I'm sure we could do the icons for all 9 classes.

i believe so. individual keys are more expensive than full sets. look at the current nyan cat GB as an example. buying key individually is like 9 dollars more expensive than it being offered as sets.

Those as doubleshots and I might take some, depending on the colors. I don’t even play tf2 very often (once every few months, lol), but these keys look very decent. :P

We need RED and BLU logo win keys. Pref doubleshot on solid colour keys if possible.

BFL (BLU) and RCU (RED) for team logos :)

I can say that those are not feasible the way the are as a DS - too much detail and thin lines.

They do look awesome though!

I had gathered the red may have been to detailed but it can be modified to fit inline with DS standards, Obviously at the loss of detail. I'll have to remake the red logo for thicker lines. Surely the blu key is ok? Anyone have any vector key templates I can use?

something like http://geekhack.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=12717&d=1285895431

i'm not implying to copy the whole design, but at least:

1. Gun selection 1,2,3,4,5
2. WASD
3. And the rest of the function keys from A-Z

I find the tab, spacebar, ctrl, shift redundant.
