also, what the heck are scoops
Instead of Wyse nipples or normal dashes, SCOOPS!

What about dashed, nipples with scoops?

mkawa · « **Reply #51 on:** Tue, 07 May 2013, 10:10:30 »

unfortunately, we haven't budgeted for scoops and i'm going to say from seat-of-pants calculation that we can't afford them

SmallFry · « **Reply #52 on:** Tue, 07 May 2013, 10:46:37 »

I say we add them to the plans. Moose was also planning on spreading the scoops love to previous sets, pending he could get an affordable tier etc. I'll let you two work it out.

mkawa · « **Reply #53 on:** Wed, 08 May 2013, 12:59:04 »

moose is going to have to or email me asap.

ps, that rotating shark is freaking me out in the best possible way.

CPTBadAss · « **Reply #54 on:** Wed, 08 May 2013, 13:00:11 »

Rotating shark made my day

ALL GLORY TO THE HALVERSON.

Edit: I would also love to see scoops with nipples like Qsanity said. Scoops on their own aren't my favorite.

SmallFry · « **Reply #55 on:** Wed, 08 May 2013, 13:03:10 »

I see. You like scoopy nips. Kinky.

mkawa · « **Reply #56 on:** Thu, 09 May 2013, 12:13:59 »

these would be two separate molds (yes, molds) and hence double the cost.

how is this going ?

mkawa · « **Reply #58 on:** Mon, 03 June 2013, 00:13:45 »

there are a handful of legends left. basically the tenkey and the '9'. boilermaker is on vacation until tomorrow (or was it later? crap, i can't remember..) though, so it's been taking a little longer to get through the last of the keys; hashbaz is flyin' solo (THROUGH THE DANGER ZONE)

Great now I'm going back to need with the top gun theme song in my head

Thanks for the update!

Exciting stuff.

Since when did Sifo care about legends, you say?

Well... you'll find out Soon™.

I'm back again with more dumb questions but I don't know where else I should ask (sorry if I'm in the wrong place):
- How this fundraising works?
- Are we going to get the keycaps in the CapBadAss picture?
- How much it will cost?

Jmneuv · « **Reply #63 on:** Fri, 21 June 2013, 14:58:03 »

Is the clear orange on white set still in the pipeline?

jdcarpe · « **Reply #64 on:** Fri, 21 June 2013, 15:07:57 »

I find your lack of updates

disturbing.

i3oilermaker · « **Reply #65 on:** Fri, 21 June 2013, 15:14:36 »

We are very very close to finishing the legend SVGs. Real life has gotten the better of hashbaz and myself delaying this effort a bit.

We have the entire tenkeless set ready to submit.

The Tenkey has been drafted and needs minor revision/placement.

I expect the entire set of legends to be cutting next week.

I'm not sure which other replica legends you mean...

If you mean the GMK sets from Ivan's group buy, those are not truly replica legends as they use the original molds.

If you mean the sets that e.g., imsto sells, then see jdcarpe's post above.

If you mean the various other group buys that have been labelled "Cherry replica" (e.g., moogle kits), then these are the same legends as those.

So, why make a new one if one already exists?

Tym · « **Reply #70 on:** Fri, 21 June 2013, 16:38:54 »

The problem is GMK require HUGE MOQ and take a while to get orders in

So is the point of this to get our own mold? Is this going to expedite more group buys and make them cheaper?

You do realize that GMK, imsto, and SP are three different companies right? They won't have the same molds. Imsto doesn't even have molds since he uses a dye-sub process. Double shot injection molding would need molds. This molding is for SP so that they have a Cherry replica font. GMK wouldn't share their molding with SP...

Future GBs at SP will have nice looking Cherry fonts and legends. It doesn't make them faster or cheaper.

esoomenona · « **Reply #73 on:** Fri, 21 June 2013, 16:54:53 »

This whole thing was started before GMK was known about. But there are GBs in place now, and there will be more in the future that won't reach the MOQ that GMK sets. This is especially so for some of the things that SP allows us to work with, such as tsangans, ISO kits, etc, which can have very low numbers. So, with some GBs, we're stuck with SP. Well, with that said, some people really prefer the Cherry font over other fonts, such as SPs stock font. So it doesn't matter through what other avenues Cherry font can be obtained. Due to these circumstances, creating these Cherry legend replicas for use with SPs superior price tiering system is why.

Thanks for the cherry legends.

This is quite exciting!

hashbaz · « **Reply #79 on:** Thu, 27 June 2013, 22:36:31 »

It's been a long haul. Huge thanks to i3oiler for helping make it happen. We should have a prototype set done in a few weeks!

longweight · « **Reply #80 on:** Sun, 30 June 2013, 05:52:33 »

Have the extra ISO keys been included?

hashbaz · « **Reply #81 on:** Sun, 30 June 2013, 12:26:08 »

ISO keys are not part of this initial big submission and test set. They will get done either with the corrections from the proof set that SP is running for us or during a subsequent group buy.

We have the 1.25x left shift already cut. I'm not sure whether it's possible to cut a new legend for the ISO enter key ... i3oiler might know more there but I think I remember ISO kits from other sets having blank enters.

So that leaves a 1x backslash. What else is required for a basic ISO set?

longweight · « **Reply #82 on:** Sun, 30 June 2013, 12:27:09 »

I think that is all.

So for the first few groupbuys ISO probably won't be covered?

hashbaz · « **Reply #83 on:** Sun, 30 June 2013, 12:30:07 »

I'm not sure what the plans are for the GH polycarb set that mkawa and boiler are doing as the first Cherry replica set, but I would imagine they'll include the standard options for ISO, 10key, and tsangan kits.

longweight · « **Reply #84 on:** Sun, 30 June 2013, 12:30:35 »

Ok thanks.

mkawa · « **Reply #85 on:** Mon, 01 July 2013, 08:31:49 »

nathan's set is on hold while we mourn nathan.

the legends have been invoiced and paid for, however.

bueller · « **Reply #86 on:** Wed, 17 July 2013, 10:24:50 »

Sorry if this is in poor taste due to SmallFry's passing but I'd like to ask a question if possible. Will there be any plans to do Tsangan/Anti-Caps Lock kits in future?

hashbaz · « **Reply #87 on:** Wed, 17 July 2013, 12:14:00 »

Cherry replica tsangan kits already exist. A Caps Lock/Control switch kit would be trivial to produce. It'll all depend on what future group buy runners want to offer.

mkawa · « **Reply #88 on:** Thu, 18 July 2013, 11:50:50 »

legend production is in process and hash and boiler are debugging some legend issues with SP. the full prototype set we produce will very likely actually be a copy of nathan's set. we might hopefully have this in *fingers crossed* about 6-8 weeks depending on how things go.

hashbaz · « **Reply #89 on:** Thu, 18 July 2013, 13:05:32 »

Actually, Melissa just told me that the prototype set should be finished on the 25th -- I should have the set in hand by early August!

Is the @ symbol slightly rotated right?

And the # looks a little short top and bottom compared to left and right.

Perhaps this is what cherry legends look like I don't have any to compare

.

Just asking not complaining!!!

hashbaz · « **Reply #95 on:** Thu, 18 July 2013, 16:54:19 »

They are both pretty accurate -- the Cherry # just looks a little bit strange.

rknize · « **Reply #96 on:** Thu, 18 July 2013, 16:55:06 »

Yup, the # key is weird on Cherry caps, among other things.

So basically this is just more stuff I've been missing by not having cherry keycaps!! You guys are awesome for doing all this work, and really everyone on this forum who has played a part with fundraisers, planning etc etc

It's so exciting.
