The Toxic set [restructuring with ctrl alt store]

[Batmann]

What is the likelihood of this GB being doubleshot PBTs from SP? Has there been any communication with SP about the feasibility since they released those arrow key sets?

It isn't very likely to happen for awhile so I removed it from the original post.

Will they be dyesub PBT?

You can't dyesub light colours on dark ones (in this case toxic green on dark grey)

Updated the order quantities, hit a bunch of new price tiers. One order for 15 looked like it got submitted twice within 7 seconds so I erased the duplicate and emailed the creator just in case it was intentional.

I'm setting up a new Windows PC, and went to download Microsoft Security Essentials.

It seems to me that the colour scheme for the page header on the download page is very close to Toxic.

[JmactheAttack]

Form filled! Looking forward to receiving these after my R4 set finally comes in.

Nice spot, but you know not to rely on ms SE, right? Not done well in recent tests...

[nereme]

Form Filled. Does the standard set come with the non toxic stripe? as I cant see an option separately for the non toxic stripe.

In for a Standard set
The Modifier set
The ISO set
And the numpad set

It does, yes.

Form filled, if not too late it would be cool if a 1x Q-row key with legend for "-", and a blank number row key could be added to the numpad kit.

Doubt it would change price but does allow for g80-1800 compatibility...

We were aiming for 1800 compatibility, the mock-up for the numpad doesn't have all the keys located in the appropriate rows, are we literally missing a key or is it just not where you expected it? When I submit the order it will just be the key, and the profile only with the pictures as reference for general appearance.

[GMC]

Image from google images. I know it belongs to someone here but forget who so can't credit.
Anyways, it shows the g80-1800 numpad layout.
Toxic has the 1 sized "0" and "+" but misses the "-" and the "pause" key above it.

That, my fine sir, belongs to inlikeflynn! He collects 1800's like they're going out of style!

Thanks! I'm resisting joining that club to the same extent.  Got a g80 layout skidata and an 1800 that needs some cleaning up and will be hosting this fine set in full charcoal trim

[kgleeson]

Form filled, can't wait to see this in real life, going to have to buy another keyboard just to use it.

[okooko]

Form filled.

[mithinza]

hmm... I want PBT doubleshot, but don't want cherry replica font. I like current font design.

[phx]

does anyone know when this GB will end? I still haven't made up my mind yet.

thanks!

[reaper]

does anyone know when this GB will end?

From OP:

"I will run the group buy until around the end of January or beginning of February when collection of payment will begin."

[wiredPANDA]

Form submitted.  Now to wait.

[RinSewand]

Just noticed I appear to be on the order list twice, not sure if that's meant to be the case

[mashby]

Form filled.

[Ivanguo1985]

Nice looking set. Order submitted.

[Turkishrambo]

Form filled. Cant wait!

[NickVsYou]

I assume I wouldn't be able to get an 84 key set for my choc mini, OP do you know if this would be possible?

[ekw808]

Is there a end date for this?

[kravlin]

Is there a end date for this?

Currently sometime end of January, beginning of Feb.

Not sure if that's changing. there's been a lot of discussion on it.

[danielucf]

Updated the counts again, getting close to some new price tiers.

[Glissant]

This is one exciting set, that's for sure. Really looking forward to seeing how they turn out, and not to mention have them on my keyboard . I think I'm going to get a new board just for this set. Maybe do a funky color on the case. *dreaming*

[GMC]

Updated the counts again, getting close to some new price tiers.

Will the numpad kit be updated to give 1800 compatibility?

[Clutcher]

Looks great, I've ordered x1 of everything...long time lurker and this has convinced me to take the plunge and try a group buy.

[Sephiroth]

I have ordered one, base and mod kit, btw, could anyone tell me what is 6.2X and 7X size of spacebar?

[kmiller8]

I have ordered one, base and mod kit, btw, could anyone tell me what is 6.2X and 7X size of spacebar?

6.2x is used with 1.25x mods on most normal boards today (Das, Ducky, Cooler Master, Corsair, Steelseries, Filco, Leopold!(except FC500), etc.) while 7x is normally used with 1.5x mods on custom boards and maybe some vintage ones.

Someone correct me pls

E: http://deskthority.net/wiki/Space_bar <- DT wiki page on spacebars, it looks like 7x is also used on some Cherry boards

[Shadovved]

Thats the Leopold FC500R you are talking.

Works for all Filco I think

[kmiller8]

derp. I get all those fancy boards mixed up, i'll go fix it )

[snoopy]

The vendor set is a nice idea. Ordered one.

[razorsharpgears]

Yeah, I am defiantly looking forward to the outcome of the Vendor Set.

[danielucf]

Sure, what is left to add?

Thank you very much !!!!!!!!

[Kabuks]

Just submitted my order.

[demik]

is it possible to add front print to the print screen (should be sys rq in the front) and pause (should be break) in the front?

shouldn't be too expensive and makes the sets look MUCH better.

also, since this is getting different mods, u should make sure it all matches unlike the valetine set that had 2 different pause and pause/break

I will do my best to make this happen.

Needs a 1x "-" key for the QWER row, and a 1x "Pause / Break" key for the number row

See my earlier post;

Isn't the regular pause key included in the set already the correct profile?

[GMC]

Doh!  Of course it is.
Just the "-" would be off profile. Don't know if others would support having the right one though

[inlikeflynn]

Of course I would like to have all the keys fit 1800 profile, but I don't expect that to happen by forcing other people to pay for them.

To make a set fit all keys on an 1800 with the correct profile, you need 6 additional keys, only 1 of which (the 1x 0) is shared by any other common keyboard
-bottom row 1x 0 key
-asdf row 1x +
-qwer row 1x -
-num/fun row 1x Delete
-num/fun row 1x End
-num/fun row 1x Page Down


Back with CCnG we only got the 1x 0 as a proper key and the other 5 were wrong profile or didn't exist at all in the case of the + key. It doesn't look the best this way, but it could be worse.

So in summary, what is included in the base kit & num pad kit will fit an 1800 as it exists today. It will just have the 5 keys in the wrong profile (+, -, Delete, End, Page Down)

If we want to fix the profiles as well then, that likely should be its own option to order. I'm probably going to run an order in the spring anyways for a CCnG & WYSE 1800/FLYNN kits  , so if we don't solve the profile problem here, my GB will included this for Toxic as well

[danielucf]

If we only need a limited number of these keys for a couple people I can ask if SP can cut us a deal. I have absolutely no idea if they would do something like that, but considering what this group buy is going to cost it *might* be possible.

PS: who can help me get an 1800 board *wink wink nudge nudge*
