Most people have black keyboards, so the background color will be black. Windows key seems to be the most popular, so we'll go with that. That will also encourage everybody to get two of each. :-)

Yeah, can't go wrong with color on black keys.

put me down for 2 Terran ones

Slotermeyer · « **Reply #53 on:** Thu, 10 March 2011, 16:08:37 »

I'd like 2 Esc-sized Zerg keys.

I'd like to put up a poll, but I can't seem to figure it out. Are polls not enabled in this subforum?

Chobopants · « **Reply #55 on:** Thu, 10 March 2011, 16:16:24 »

More useful than a poll is just have us PM you orders like 7bit does, keyed with some id like "PROTOSS_WINDOWSKEY" and then keep them tabulated in the first post.

Fwiffo · « **Reply #56 on:** Thu, 10 March 2011, 16:17:55 »

Well, I just posted a poll while you were typing that. So vote there, I'll figure out better system soon.

Azuremen · « **Reply #57 on:** Thu, 10 March 2011, 16:31:13 »

I think the Esc key as the Random die would look pretty awesome as well, just as a general key.

manfaux · « **Reply #58 on:** Thu, 10 March 2011, 16:41:19 »

Voted!

n12 · « **Reply #59 on:** Thu, 10 March 2011, 18:18:57 »

In for at least two of each!

Hi there, I tried correcting the Zerg SVG without losing too much detail.

I think it came out ok, but I am still not sure it it is valid. Can someone check that actually knows something about this?

Always loved these icons more than any others. Would die for these on my keyboard >:]

I am so down for these! I'd buy three since I have a surplus of $15 bucks in my order.

Vote in the poll linked in the first post, and stay tuned. I will post instructions on how to get in on the order as soon as it becomes possible.

I've been fiddling with the original Protoss logo, and it is indeed tricky to work with. =S

Quote from: Fwiffo;308900

I believe the shield version of the Terran logo has the necessary clearances everywhere. I don't know how well the sharp corners will end up working, but that's an issue with pretty much all the art on all the group buy keys ever. The regular Protoss and definitely the regular Zerg logos are trickier, and I don't think I can make them work, but the "Akilae Tribe" decal for Protoss (shown in the OP) and "The Brood" decals for Zerg (the claw-mark one) will work fine.

Do people prefer Esc keys or Windows key replacements? Either would work.

wow i dont know which one to go with, i originally play zerg but ive been practicing protoss recently! Anyway great great idea!

Metalix · « **Reply #69 on:** Fri, 11 March 2011, 06:06:52 »

Iam interested in any sc2 keycaps

The random and the protoss logo looks pretty good!

Maybe you should reference the poll to TL forum or others to attract more votes and interest

vun · « **Reply #70 on:** Fri, 11 March 2011, 06:18:45 »

This is awesome, I'd probably get one of each except for random, not really liking it.
Maybe double on the Zerg one to give to a friend who plays Zerg, even though he doesn't have a mechanical keyboard. Yet.

Oproer · « **Reply #71 on:** Fri, 11 March 2011, 09:22:56 »

I signed up to this website after lurking to say I definitely want each of those keycaps! GIEV!

I've picked Order IDs for the keys so we can use the 7bit ordering system. See the OP for instructions on how to vote/order. If you voted in the forum poll, please vote again using the 7bit voting system to indicate which keys you want and which quantities.

Crap, sorry everyone! Remove the "2" from the order ID when placing your orders.

Hey, I thought that was old Protoss logo? Any chance to get the latest logo instead?

Fwiffo · « **Reply #78 on:** Fri, 11 March 2011, 15:51:49 »

I explain in the OP about the Protoss logo. It's actually one of the decal rewards in the game. The decals are suitable without much tweaking, and were the original art I had for all three races. But since I upgraded the Zerg and Terran I do plan on playing around with the regular Protoss logo this weekend to see if I can get it to work well in the restricted, 1-color format.

I'm toss myself, so I do take it seriously! The decal was the best of the original three, so I think it's a suitable backup, but I will try to get the real logo to work.

Some old old old loading screens had suitable monochrome logos. Here's a screenshot I managed to find:

http://planetstarcraft.gamespy.com/screenshots/full_res.php?ss=580

It also has the old Terran shield instead of the hawk-dude. I think the current Protoss decal is pretty nice, but if you're concerned about the set matching or being thematic, this could be good.

That toss logo looks a lot better, I'd prefer that if someone can "svg-ize" it.

OK, I think I got the Protoss logo to an acceptable state. Hopefully it's not still too pointy. Probably I'm being a little to anal for something that's going to be less than half an inch in size.

This will probably get moving forward when 7bit is back from vacation. In the mean time, we can discuss colors. I posted a picture of the ABS color samples in the OP. I have a sample ring myself. There is a second ring (not pictured) that is just tones of gray. Everyone's monitor reproduces color differently, so let me know if you have questions about specific colors; I can give more specific descriptions.

noodles256 · « **Reply #92 on:** Sat, 12 March 2011, 18:23:35 »

sounds good, I just hope the costs arent to high.

Hopefully enough people can jump on board so they will be cheap!!

JelinaNU · « **Reply #93 on:** Sat, 12 March 2011, 19:32:22 »

The YCG chip has too much orange for the Protoss logo. YCH is a closer match.

Fwiffo · « **Reply #94 on:** Sat, 12 March 2011, 19:38:41 »

YCH is a little dingy/greenish. Maybe YY, which is more of a pure yellow, or YK which has a little bit of a golden cast without being as orange as YCG?

YY is a good call. It's tricky to spot the subtle differences without having the actual samples in front of me and under white light. My looking at a digital photo on a mediocre laptop screen is already two or three points of compounding interpretation, so I'll default to your eye.

jdreamer · « **Reply #96 on:** Sun, 13 March 2011, 07:06:53 »

I actually like YCG more though.

I sure hope the escape keys are picked, though it doesn't look like they will be.
That win key wouldn't fit on my Noppoo...
Maybe I should just go ahead and order a Leopold, I mean, I gotta have a keyboard with customized Starcraft keycaps, right?

JinDesu · « **Reply #98 on:** Sun, 13 March 2011, 09:29:26 »

Escape key would be preferable, since I can interchange with the rest of Row 1

ejsteven · « **Reply #99 on:** Sun, 13 March 2011, 09:31:02 »

@Fwiffo, in the OP you said that you needed to order either a set of two win keys for a race, a single esc key or both. I was wondering if it would be okay to order three 1.5 sized keys ie one for toss, zerg and terran to replace two winkeys and a menu key?
