PRESENTING THE "HACK'D BY GEEKS" KEYSET

Price: $120

ORDER HERE

$13 CONUS shipping
$20 International

A full countour SA profile keycap set in double shot ABS from Signature Plastics.

Centered ORANGE (OAS) legends on GREY (GE) and VERY DARK GREY (GX) base, similar to Skidata legends on the Dolch colorway.

Row profiles will be (from top down) 3-1-2-3-4-3, as popularized by the recent PuLSE and Round 5 GBs.

I (jdcarpe) will be the point of contact for questions regarding this group buy. Ordering and logistics will be handled by the team at [CTRL]ALT.

No kits, no muss, no fuss. Alphas, Mods, Numpad, Tsangan, ISO, and JD40/45 all included. One kit to rule them all.

All orders will be shipped by BunnyLake (Int'l) and codyeatworld (CONUS) of [CTRL]ALT.

This GB will have a fast turnaround time, and orders will ship within 48 hours of receipt from manufacturer.

This GB will run concurrently with the Miami Twice GB, so if you plan on ordering both sets, you can combine shipping to save money.



Yes, you heard that right... All owners of the JD40 (and upcoming JD45) keyboards, now hear this! THIS SET IS FULLY COMPATIBLE WITH THE JD40/45 KEYBOARDS. If you have been looking for a set to adorn your JD40, look no further!!

I love you guys, but I hate SA. What to do?

I'll probably buy it anyway because of the people promoting it.

LOL nice disclaimer.  )

Whether I join or not, people are going to love this set!

[LechnerDE]

Is there any chance the "`~" and "\|" keys could be included in both colors so people could chose between the classic and the symmetrical look?

And so it begins.

[bowji]

Im in! a SA set with a design I like. Perfect 

[Melvang]

^^^ This ^^^

So going to get in on this set depending on cash flow at the time.  Love the color scheme.

[jdcarpe]

It goes against my belief system.

Thanks for the fast reply 

Too bad, but of course I respect this decision.

Another question:

I am not an expert on SA keys, but if I am not mistaken there were always issues with the profile of the shift keys, because Signature Plastics doesn't have the correct molds.

Has this been fixed yet?

Correct, as it stands now, Shifts will all be Row 3 profile, as before. When and if Signature Plastics is willing to correct this glaring oversight on their part, we would love to have the correct Row 4 profile Shifts included. If they become available after the group buy ends, I plan to do a "Shifts-only" GB for the correct profile caps.

[scubaste]

Great job JD and [Ctrl]Alt. The profile and colorway look great, I will have to grab a set.

[suicidal_orange]

Much as I love the colours that is one hell of a lot of keycaps to do a JD40!

At a glance it looks like you'd only need to add another set of letters to populate a full size in ISO as well...

Heh, almost anyway. A few bottom row 1.25 mods would be missing, as well.


You could always sell the numpad kit to someone looking to fill a Goldtouch or Filco numpad or GHpad!

[SpAmRaY]

I'll have to buy two sets so I can have one on a full size board and one on my jd40.

[Joey Quinn]

Nice design JD! If I end up liking SA I'll be in.

I'm in the process of changing over from months of DSA, I lost 10wpm. It's real strug.

[jdcarpe]

That's the spirit!

I always buy two sets, so I can sell one later if I'm not enamoured of it.

[SpAmRaY]

Any chance for 4 keys to go above the numberpad to fill out 108 keys?

[Michael]

so in, this is awesome

[Elrick]

SCHWEET GEEZUS, I got a pm linking this area and when I saw this latest SA Profile, 2015 looks to be another brilliant year for these type of babies.

I'm in all the way up to my balls so please don't stop any of this action, just let us know when you want the final money-shot  .

[jdcarpe]

Now dammit, that's what Clacks and Bros are for! )

You don't like those ISO punctuation keys for that??

Why not a carpe keyboards key and a ctrlalt key then those can be used with the top row geek hack keys.

Or I'll just buy some of the blanks from SP like I did for penumbra  )

Top and bottom rows are both Row 3. And I have included two dark grey 1u Row 3 blanks already, so there you go.

[Toxic-i-]

Looks good

[JWK]

When do you expect these to appear on the [CTRL}ALT website?

[limitz]

Might have to go for this.

SA is by far the best profile that SP makes. Loving the fully contoured too rather than uniform row 3.

[tbc]

hmmmm

can't stand SA or ABS....but contoured SA is interesting and a JD40 is small enough to keep in storage AND it won't have the bad rshift.

will think more about it when prices come out

EDIT:

oh wait...it said NO KITS -_-

[jdcarpe]

Yeah, we are working on getting a quote for this, and trying to keep it as close to $100 or so per set as we can. By eliminating "child" kits, the base is only slightly more expensive than buying strictly alphas and mods, and you don't have to add $25 for a numpad, $15 for ISO, $20 for Tsangan, $20 for JD40, etc.

we are just waiting on quotes, and to finish some artwork

[captvizcenzo]

Need to start saving for this!

[Ripudio]

I know its probably convention, but why its the "\" key always the same colors as the alphas instead of the mods? To me it looks much cleaner, especially on a 60% if it matches the other mods.

[Fluctuation]

Any chance for colemak/dvorak keys in the correct profile? I'd love to get in on this, but idk.

I fell in love with the contoured SA when I got my Pulse set.

[asdfjkl36]

Looks great.

I'm unsure how I feel about SA since I've never tried it so I'm still torn on this..

[01111000]

I wish the Mods and Alphas were the same color.  I rather that look and I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
