Make R.I.P.ster in helvetica and remember to make the "ster" in lower case.

I'll fix the "ster," but I don't have helvetica.

So the iMav will look more like this since they need an SVG.



That's about the best I could do, maybe somebody more adept at inkscape could produce something more accurate to the original?

So for the R.I.P. ster key in Helvetica, any possibility in having QWERkeys make them? I like the orange and black, but what about a stone grey cap with a black edge and R.I.P. ster in black. This would almost have a tombstone look to it.

I like how this set is looking. Almost think we need to make it a cherry replica moogle kit. Orange and black theme for October.

f/64 talked to about this key set.  I believe he wants me to take over.

I'm for 4 keys: R00TW0RM, GEEKHACKED, Rollback, and iMav's logo.  Is anyone interested in these 4 keys? Let me know.

Without R.I.P.ster? Hell no. I'll pass.

So you want to just make 4 (Four) keys and nothing else?

What happened to integrating them with an 87 key-set or a 104 version?  The Orange and Charcoal set should be the penultimate 100% GEEKHACK set to own and would sell far more than just a tiny 4 Cap set.

Plus sales of a Geekhack Key-set can get a small dividend from the sales to keep this place running. I don't mind paying a higher price tag so that iMav gets some extra moolah rolling in.

As for the RIPster key, put it as a possible option for those that still harbor tendencies of fanaticism for him.

Sherryton, please remember when you're organizing another Group Buy you want to catch a majority of interest for a product and this means catering as much as you can for a larger slice of the Key-cap market that may entail interest from other Forums and such.

I was planning for this set to be for donations.  How do you guys want to implement the 87 or 104 version?

oh really? the penultimate set? so what about the ultimate set? and who gave you authority to decide what that set would be? and who would make those keys? what about addon kits, that's going to be more than 104 keys right there.

They can't do it in one line on a 1x1.

So asking questions seems to be something you don't approve of?  Go figure....... Sherryton was given the exclusive rights hence I directed the question to him, not you.  There is no firm and hard direction coming from me at all.  I just asked a basic question about the normal full key-sets (the we purchase from here regularly) being possibly available instead of the 4 that he had mentioned earlier.  Plus he then asked what further input was required.

I didn't know I needed "Authority" from you to ask any questions.  Please denote which rule(s) that specifies that clearly?

Sorry if that seems to offend your version of the so-called "Rights"act on this forum that you yourself like to transgress so often.

no, everything i responded to was a statement, not a question. you don't need my authority, but you need the authority of the GH admins and probably the consensus of the community before declaring anything to be 'penultimate' (look that word up by the way, pens don't make anything more ultimate, they make em less ultimate).

No worries.  I got so excited about a "Possible" Geekhack Key-set that my intentions could of possibly been misconstrued.  Of course Geekhack is the ULTIMATE place to be hence the appropriate title should be chosen, by the users here on this forum.  I just wanted to mention that this "Possible Future Key-set" needed to be offered for everyone here but also for non members out in the communities far and wide.

(PS.  I only applied the "Penultimate" as an innocent expression describing Geekhack's turbulent history within the last few months - Rootworm/RIPster expulsion and nothing more, my fault).

If we decide to do the R.I.P ster QWERkeys key I was thinking something like this.

This is my crude Photoshop mock-up

Edit: Ok I fixed the "typo" (no it really wasn't a typo, you just can't fit "R.I.P.-" well on the first line. A little Photoshop work and there, one extra ".")

Edit 2: Fine no hyphen

It's in Helvetica Medium and it's a key cap design that we wouldn't have produced by SP. Ripster would have wanted it that way. lol

Since you already mentioned QWERkeys don't they do an ANSI 51 Pack1 + Function Pack for sale?

Maybe Sleabo should be asked if he is willing to do a set for us.  Just thought of spreading the "merriment" around to other manufacturers besides only relying on SP do everything.

Plus QWERkeys are able to do 3 and 4 Colour versions......worth considering at least.  THIS is not my Recommendation and/or Rule stating that we ONLY deal with QWERkeys..... it's just a personal suggestion, nothing more.

?? not sure, just like the look of their key caps. Wouldn't mind having them also add their GEEK HACK key into this if they can work on the HA CK spacing a bit :)

He did say he offers a Custom Service for his key-caps and plus if he gets the go ahead to produce the keys then someone experienced can guide him through the design process, which I think SHERRYTON is amply qualified in doing.
