EDIT: 28/11

CURRENT TOTALS FROM IC FORM

DOLCH: 25
BEIGE/WHITE: 31
WHITE ON BLACK: 24
WYSE: 16

going good for only a day

once i see numbers that should get us enough to start ordering i'll move this to ordering.

[boost]

In for 1 and can help for usa shipment

[Alessandro]

Awesome! Hopefully we can get to a good order quantity.

In for one.

[rayuki]

awesome boost thats sorted quickly. i have no doubt we can get this off the ground quickly as well

going to get specific quotes from Mellisa as well just to double check.

[Alessandro]

I will most likely be able to distribute in the UK if you need anyone. That all depends on how many people in the UK order.

[danielucf]

Honestly you should just do all the moogles. Dolch, Beige/White, and white on black. I would buy at least one of each, if not 2-3+ of others.

I imagine you want to do this "quick" since you just got a Dolch set, but if you want to hit reasonable numbers you should probably run it for a month or two.

[rayuki]

hmm ok its worth considering if this gets enough interest i'll change the form. i really dont want to over complicate things though or have it run for ages.

[Alessandro]

If you also somehow got a buy going for a Dolch 37 key set I'd love you forever.

[danielucf]

hmm ok its worth considering if this gets enough interest i'll change the form. i really dont want to over complicate things though or have it run for ages.

If something is worth doing, it is worth doing right. Just give it a month or two, especially around the American holidays when people normally have less money for a selfish keyboard hobby because they are buying things for others

[Alessandro]

I was also thinking that, but in terms of postage. We're getting to the point where the system is getting clogged with christmas post, so even if you did it quickly, postage from Australia to the US is going to take an awful long time anyway.

like more keyboard stuff for their others? heh.

you guys might be right but lets just see what happens. if after a day or 2 this goes stale will think about making it more long term. this is basically an idea hatched from my WTB thread for a moogle, and seeing a ton of other moogle WTB specifically for this set to try and fill the demand reasonably quickly.

can always do a bigger one later on.

[sth]

possible to add center stemmed step caps?

[danielucf]

possible to add center stemmed step caps?

That would be cool, I like that idea.

[rayuki]

possible to add center stemmed step caps?

sure im also thinking of getting an extra spacebar in will get some quotes and update. i want center stemmed and of center stemmed caps as well lol

[Alessandro]

Would it be possible to order 1 extra of a particular cap? For example, I'd be after 2 fulltouch caps.

[jcrouse]

In

[sth]

i bet a lot of people would be interested in a wyse moogle too

[cgbuen]

Yeah definitely would love to see WYSE moogle. Would be in for at least one, probably two.

And I love the idea of both center-stemmed and off-center stemmed stepped Caps Locks. I'd probably go for one of each.

[rayuki]

Would it be possible to order 1 extra of a particular cap? For example, I'd be after 2 fulltouch caps.

from what SP have told me for individual caps that need to be cast the minimum order has to be $100.

[strafe]

I'd be interested in a set

Edit: Can you please change my order to a white on black set.

[BimboBB]

would be in for beige/white moogle sets.

Hmm, we may be able to get there. It doesn't matter if we don't, just a thought that some people may want.

[rayuki]

i've updated the form. if you have filled it out already please just do so again if you want any of the other options otherwise leave it

i think that should cover it.

if we get 25 of each set i'll move forward.

(anyone got any pics of the other kits i can add to op for those that dont know them?)

also added an option for a DT username as im going to post over there as i've had some pms from people there.

[blighty]

Nice!  This is an awesome way to stop the price gouging. Form filled. Would possibly get more than 1 of various kits if it helped reach MOQ.  Let's do this!  :-)

with the amount of interest from DTers as well and its only been up a few hours i doubt we are going to have any issues reaching at least the 25 mark for each.

[metafour]

In!

[fruktstund]

Anti-Caps anyone? Last time there wasn't enough interest, but I know I'm still interested. If it would be possible to add that option I'd be a happy man.

(Anti-Caps = Control instead of Caps Lock)

[jdcarpe]

Ordered 1 of everything except Dolch

[Acanthophis]

What about colours?
IIRC, the last moogle GB had an off-beige/white for the space bar.

[danielucf]

Now take orders until early to mid January and I'm sure you will reach 50+ on all colors. Going to try and get some Korean forums involved too? May be able to break 75+

[OddOne]

I'm Interested in the dolch. How about full mod kits like hashbaz's moogles?

[metafour]

(Anti-Caps = Control instead of Caps Lock)

I'd like the Control instead of Caps Lock but I don't want one of the regular 1.25x Control mods to say Caps Lock. I just want the full touch Control.

[hashbaz]

The Koreans will be interested for sure.  Make sure to choose a better white color than I did.

[rayuki]

The Koreans will be interested for sure.  Make sure to choose a better white color than I did.

any help would be greatly appreciated in color choice.



what do you guys think about having 2 different color spacebars for each kit (if its not super extra) and also perhaps a 7 unit?

i've sent off a list of things to SP to get some quotes on kits containing:

possible base kit 1:

2 Control (1.25x)
2 Alt (1.25x)
2 Win (1.25x)
1 Menu (1.25x)
1 left Shift (2.25x)
1 right Shift (2.75x)
1 Spacebar (6.25x)
2 Caps Lock (stepped, center stemmed)


possible base kit 2:
2 Control (1.25x)
2 Alt (1.25x)
2 Win (1.25x)
1 Menu (1.25x)
1 left Shift (2.25x)
1 right Shift (2.75x)
2 Spacebar (6.25x) (different colors)
1 Spacebar (7x)
3 Caps Lock (stepped, center stemmed, full touch)

with the amount of interest from DTers as well and its only been up a few hours i doubt we are going to have any issues reaching at least the 25 mark for each.

Now take orders until early to mid January and I'm sure you will reach 50+ on all colors. Going to try and get some Korean forums involved too? May be able to break 75+

please remember this is still just an IC.

if i get enough interest in the next few weeks i'll turn it into a proper order thread and we can let it run until early January to drum up interest across all forums to get the best priced tier. if it gets to that point i'm sure the koreans on here will get involved (CYG im looking at you )

[pasph]

There's someone else wishing to insert also ISO enter and left shift (even blanks)?

[rayuki]

feel free to add more suggestions, pm me if you like with specifics and i'll see about getting quotes for stuff in a whole set.

its still growing at this point it started out as a dolch only lol not to bad for a few hours.

give it a week and i reckon we will have enough interest. (already nearly at 25 for most sets from IC form lol)

[hashbaz]

Why would you want a 7x spacebar in a moogle kit?

[rayuki]

Why would you want a 7x spacebar in a moogle kit?

no idea just going thru all options lol.

[litster]

really no good reason I can think of.

[Kensy]

Filled the form ! Black on beige and Dolch moogle !

[jeroplane]

Awesome, will definitely be submitting an order for one of each (White, Black, WYSE, Dolch), and I'll probably get some extras too to help fill out numbers. I don't actually have a Dolch set yet, but hope to somewhere in the future...

Personally I don't agree with having more than one spacebar in the pack, as it would be unnecessary for most people.

Also, not sure if people would be interested, but what about including both a full touch and stepped centre-stemmed caps lock? I don't think an off-centre stemmed caps lock is really required.

[rayuki]

I think for the base set I will include all 3 caps as its most likely not going to be much extra and just the one space bar. That should be all we need and ill add maybe an ISO kit or something.

Hi, if this IC pushes through, what font would be used for the legends?

[blighty]

This seems like a good grouping of keys to go with (hashbaz's pic of Dolch moogle from last buy). 

(black on white/beige with funky space bar?)

(white on black)
Mayhap someone has a pic of what a WYSE moogle looks like for comparison?

[kmiller8]

This seems like a good grouping of keys to go with. 

Just throwin this out there, since we have so many keys, why not add \| and `~ like the RA 2.0 sets :s

I know these are seen as "alpha keys" but I like how those two combined create a full 'wrap' around the alpha characters.

Like I said, just my $.02

[hashbaz]

Make sure to include spacebars as a separate option so that owners of R3 moogles can get a better color match without buying a whole new set.  Also, please brand these as "round 4", "R4", etc. to identify continuity with previous sets.

[jdcarpe]

Make a combined moogle/tsangan kit? Call it the compatibility kit... Just throwing it out there. I know you just did second chance tsangans, hashbaz.

[hashbaz]

I'm cool with an ultimate compatibility kit, as long as we call it the hashbaz kit.
