Hello kbdists!

We haven't completed Phase 1 yet, but we are working on getting all of the shipments done. MOD Keyboards really liked the colors we went with, and their machines are read for a second run. We aren't ready yet as we are still concluding the shipping, but we love to take Interest Check on what color combinations you guys would want to see this round.

The cost will run the same:

Group Buy Price: $75
Group Buy Fee: $5

Estimated Group Buy Time:

3.5 months from end of group buy date.

It will include most of the same keys, and we would love to bring some ISO keys this time (although it may not happen).

We want to include 2-3 new secondary legends or legends in general this round as well. We are leaning towards Arabic. Please let us know your thoughts.

I'm still waiting on my set to arrive, so I can't comment on the quality yet ( but I bet it's awesome).

One thing that might have been missing was an extra 2.25u shift to support 660 boards, the clueboard and a few other baords. Might be a nice addition to the set.

Yeah, that's a great add-on. Noted!

A Hebrew set would be cool.

More RU and JAP sets

Orange color for the international lengend?

A greek or cyrilic set would be cool without any of the english legends

I'd like a Cyrillic set without Latin legends too but that's probably unlikely, I'm hoping Yuri manages to pull that off as an addon kit once it launches next year but no promises there either.

I'm interested in round 2,
I'd love to black and orange make it this time. How about a Flash/Ironman type color combo of red & yellow. I'd love to see a combo with green too, like green/yellow and/or green/royal blue. I don't have any new font preferences at the moment.

Would love to see black/orange and pink/red Japanese Set

-musubi · « **Reply #9 on:** Mon, 28 November 2016, 17:28:57 »

Any chance of doing a grey font for dye subs (if that's possible)? I'd be interested in that with just standard letters.

rawrjau · « **Reply #10 on:** Mon, 28 November 2016, 17:40:02 »

I'd LOVE a Japanese set with x/Red, as long as x is not a shade of blue or a monochrome colour! Perhaps a Purple/Red?

Yeah, I think we might try something grey this time instead of black :O

Anyone interested in Pink or Red/Green for some watermelon or bubble gum? Maybe we can add some black dots to make it appear like seeds haha.

William_S_Jones · « **Reply #12 on:** Mon, 28 November 2016, 22:13:46 »

I'm fine w/ both pink/red & red/green japanese sets.

iamtootallforthis · « **Reply #13 on:** Mon, 28 November 2016, 22:30:28 »

Black and green or just green please!

Cotay · « **Reply #14 on:** Tue, 29 November 2016, 00:57:17 »

I realize there is probably limited demand, but I'd love to see a keyset with Koine Greek. Fraternity/Sorority members might like it and seminary students would definitely benefit (especially lower case)...plus it just looks cool.

Applet · « **Reply #15 on:** Tue, 29 November 2016, 03:18:48 »

What about a US-international set? (I know many of us nordes use that).

EDIT: If we get that, I'll buy any color

lolpes · « **Reply #16 on:** Tue, 29 November 2016, 03:46:11 »

How about a g81-3000 SAT with blue front print dyesubs? Either that or the SAA. Would the front prints increase the cost too much?

t8c · « **Reply #17 on:** Tue, 29 November 2016, 04:24:48 »

Maybe a novelty pack? VIM, Emacs, GIT, Amiga and keys from rare cherry boards ?

Examples:

TerryMathews · « **Reply #18 on:** Tue, 29 November 2016, 06:17:18 »

I'd be all over it if you added the following keys for 1800/96 key support:

Keypad -, row 2
Delete, End, Page Down - row 1

ntw · « **Reply #19 on:** Tue, 29 November 2016, 06:20:09 »

need GREEN HEBREW DYESUB!!!

i'm going to pm you everyday to make sure that it gets into phase 2

pomk · « **Reply #20 on:** Tue, 29 November 2016, 06:55:37 »

What is the MOQ this time, thinking if complete international sets could be made? If the MOQ is high, like 150, (why for dye sub, please explain??) then it's probably best not to dwell into ISO land at all.

Loligagger · « **Reply #21 on:** Tue, 29 November 2016, 07:31:37 »

Would an ergodox addon kit be possible?

duynguyenle · « **Reply #25 on:** Tue, 29 November 2016, 13:39:28 »

I'm not much of a user of all the fancy sublegends, so classic black is even fine for me. I bought Classic Blue in the R1 so if you do run R2 again I would love to snatch up a Classic Black set. That said, could you please include the extra keys for 1800 layouts? I think that's one of my major pet peeves from R1 (it would be super cool too if you can include the necessary keys for 18xx support with the 6u spacebar and all 1u bottom row mods!)

Also, just to echo the other guys, novelty pack would be swell too

sherryton · « **Reply #26 on:** Tue, 29 November 2016, 14:53:30 »

Thanks for all the feedback. Keep them coming!

As for front printing, I'm going to have ask about that.

feediko · « **Reply #27 on:** Tue, 29 November 2016, 17:41:20 »

Thicker hangul legends (different font).
At least ISO-UK support.

LeoChien · « **Reply #28 on:** Tue, 29 November 2016, 18:25:11 »

Just waiting for the fulfillment of my order.

A cherry logo pack for round 2 would be amaaazing.
Every cherry logo novelty pack so far has been made by GMK in ABS doubleshot, so PBT dysubs would be

poolside · « **Reply #34 on:** Sat, 03 December 2016, 13:54:29 »

- 660 support with 1.25u R4 CapsLock
- Cyrillic Purple/Cyan like the JP set from round 1
- US International (Purple/Cyan would be nice too)
- Hangul with the sharp-cornered font (don't know what it is called)
- Maybe less warped spacebars (the 6.25u works fine, but I can't unsee its smile as it is front-facing)

ndlu2 · « **Reply #35 on:** Sun, 04 December 2016, 21:47:16 »

PBT 9009

Zammux · « **Reply #36 on:** Sun, 04 December 2016, 21:54:33 »

I think it'd be nice to have purple legends with a lighter purple (like a lavender-ish) sublegends for a set. Maybe a JP set?

^ This, especially if theres a possibility to get the ISO enter.

I know it's the Modern Beige IC, but would there be a possibility to use the Dark Grey set to do Cyrillic, Hangul, JP, Arabic, etc.? I understand that colors will be limited, but it would be a nice option.

Saiph · « **Reply #38 on:** Wed, 07 December 2016, 23:24:35 »

Is there any possibility of a set with centered legends? I have a centered legend set from enjoyPBT but it had a lot of alignment issues.

SJHL · « **Reply #40 on:** Fri, 09 December 2016, 10:33:22 »

If I can can suggest a color combo for Hangul set, Orange/Purple color would be nice.

+1 For VIM novelty set

unoab · « **Reply #41 on:** Mon, 12 December 2016, 11:39:17 »

How about some IBM-layout APL caps? I have not seen a good cherry profile reproduction of these caps, so it would be nice to have a good set floating around. Especially if they follow the M layout with the orange and blue characters.

ripster seems to have the best photos of a model M set in a gallery here if reference material is needed: http://imgur.com/a/q0c8A

New colorways! I haven't finalize all the details, but we're still awaiting a batch of shipment for Blanks and the Russian sets

Novelty keycaps will be available.

Any chance we can get CMYK mods with black legends? Cyan, magenta, and yellow escape and enter keys would be cool too.
