Well, the shade of the render will draw much more interest than the shade of the real caps.

John

They could also order the same color as the orange mods via pantone color and get exactly what the picture looks like.

I was able to borrow a CODE keyboard from a coworker, so I'll have some nice images of the keys with backlighting later!

I think the backlighting looks kinda bad tbh. Keycaps are too thin and too much light shines through. And the orange here still looks darker than it does in person. Again, this is just the proof set; the colors the GB will use are still up in the air.

bueller · « **Reply #204 on:** Fri, 04 October 2013, 03:31:52 »

Yeah not a fan of the backlighting but then again I don't have any backlit keyboards so that says a lot

Badwrench · « **Reply #205 on:** Fri, 04 October 2013, 03:55:40 »

Yeah, that is a lot going on. The white is def. not helping with the transparency. I know that grey/orange has been done before, but what about a nice med. grey with the poly orange legends, and then the solid orange mods with med. grey legends?

Kind of a shame as it looks really sharp until you turn on the leds.

bueller · « **Reply #206 on:** Fri, 04 October 2013, 03:59:48 »

Something tells me we'll have the same problem no matter what the color used, SP caps are just too thin to allow the poly to shine.

rowdy · « **Reply #207 on:** Fri, 04 October 2013, 04:20:06 »

Backlighting - yeah, the alpha legends are towards the top, which is great, but the number keys the legends are towards the bottom, so the shifted characters are illuminated.

Plus I wonder what this would look like with red or green LEDs ...

LONGZILLA · « **Reply #208 on:** Fri, 04 October 2013, 08:50:33 »

Personally I think it looks fine when the LEDs were on but not at full intensity (that or the room wasn't completely dark)

It's too bad the transparent orange modifiers didn't work out. Those would have been really cool.

Maybe you could join forces with some other GB with high interest (e.g., toxic), add some new legends in celebration of SmallFry, and move this great set into production. :-D

Amazing

this will be the last SP set that i will purchase ever again

oluf · « **Reply #211 on:** Fri, 04 October 2013, 18:59:29 »

I wonder how they would look in SA profile... They're a bit thicker. Can SP shoot poly into SA?

Pretty sure this is the opposite of what they were going for with the Cherry Replica initiative... but i get what you're saying

this is totally hot

The full orange set looks like gold in dim lighting! Very nice amber effect! I agree it looks a tad over the top, but nonetheless, that warm golden glow is just so nice!

ijprest · « **Reply #221 on:** Mon, 14 October 2013, 13:23:28 »

Any chance I could get the SVG with the legends?

I'd like to roll support for this into my little online layout editor. (And if I can track down an electronic version of Gorton, I want to add that legend-font as well...)

Thanks!

There is no TTF of Gorton, however "Engravers Gothic BT" is the close enough.

Thanks for that... it's not perfect (some real obvious differences, like the ampersand), but it'll do. I'll get that into my next version.

Hopefully I can get the Cherry Replica legend too...

hashbaz · « **Reply #224 on:** Tue, 15 October 2013, 01:08:50 »

I'll be releasing the SVGs at some point in the future.

I know I'm a bit late to the party here (came by this thread while catching up on news from the toxic GB) but can I just saw these photos may be the sexiest thing I have seen in keyboards ever. I was waiting until WASD make a code with red switches but hell, I might have to buy whatever they get in stock just hoping a set like this is produced that I can stick on it.

Oh wow! Thanks - dunno how I missed that
