Which simpsons episode is that? I need to rewatch it
Something Doctor Who related would be fun. Either a key with some Gallifreyan text or some other logo related to the show would be great. I know there was an interest check quite some time ago that never went anywhere.Rose Tyler, and bad wolf ^_^

I don't have any designs in mind right now, but it would be cool if one of your cherry sets was IMSTO's blue keycaps with black dyesub. I need one of these sets and his official price on his website is a little too high ;)

I saw you mention in the Mail thread that you were working on an APL dyesub set. That would be sweet, and I'm just posting here to express my interest in such a set.
Haven't read the thread, but as other I'd like an APL set. Also maybe a rerun of the irish? Ah, hebrew set as well :)

Yeah, I got a couple of offers for mine, but I won't part with it. Would feel like betrayal ;)
I don't expect that problem again in the future... but then, I didn't expect that problem last time either. As long as most everyone is satisfied with PLUM key I will likely continue to use them for PBT source so since it different factory I will expect they won't have that problem wrong color caps lock.

Haha. Keep the ideas coming. I will probably do much the same as before with design that make at least 20 order will get made and the ones that don't won't.can you plz do some negals ? if you don't like the pics i put you can find negals you like. Thats fine with me.
Not really sure about BSP how receptive they are to custom thing. I've only ever asked them about Cherry style thing, and never used them due to how much more expensive they are.
Flags!
USA flag, State Flags (Maybe only a few, I know CA has a cool flag), Soviet flags, etc.
And more of that Nagel style stuff
And APL style things.
Great idea, Ivan. However, what would be the MOQ on them? I can't imagine many people getting Coat of Arms of the smaller nations of the world.Show Image(http://flagartist.com/SVG/Jan-13/Scalable_Vector_Graphics/FLAG/C/coat_of_arms_of_serbia_small_flag_drapeau_bandiera_bandeira_flagga-555px.png)

No chance of any NSDAP related anything. Mostly I am just uninterested in dealing with the inevitable backlash of doing such a thing.thats too bad :( i don't get why people like the communist keys ? They were in power for longer time and they killed way more people over decades. Why the double standard people ? Sometimes i think people here are just hypocrites.
As far as Cherry style set...

Were things I was planning and more or less assume there was sufficient interest already.
I am NOT looking forward to doing those Arabic legend... they look like a mother****er. Hebrew may not be an easy time either. If anyone else is good at doing traces from photos to vector please I would love the help getting those legend recreated to workable files.

Now that the first novelty dyesub buy is just about wrapped up I will now start interest check for the next round. Here you can suggest any new design idea, and/or express interest of any you would like re-run from the last buy (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=50013.0).
When suggest new designs whenever possible please post the desired design in at least a 600x600 size.
I will kick off with these 2 new design suggestions...Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/oWIG2tL.jpg)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/Z2cezPM.jpg)
In addition I would also like to collect any ideas for next version of full sets. I would also like to get away from Cherry font only next time and do some other things to mix it up.
I will start off with suggesting Motter Tektura CYRShow Image(http://www.paratype.com/scripts/fontsamplea.exe?font=Motter+Tektura&hex=1&text=414243616263C0C1C2E0E1E2E3E4E5B8E6E7E8E9EAEBECEDEEEFF0F1F220&bi=0&cs=204&th=30&xpos=4)

I also think this sounds really great. Would buy for sure.
Sure that could be possible if there is enough support for alternate layout like Dvorak/Colemak/whatever. Perhaps one on top, and US QWERTY as side printed if that is available much like the TS Peacock example I posted earlier.
Ivan cuz you have blue sun logo. I was thinking can you do a firefly themed set ? Like the serenity logo and crew of ship and also the ship it self as a whole set ? I would so love a firefly keyset ^_^

That character isn't actually a pony. She's a changeling -- one of the villains. And she's got a certain cult following because everybody likes a good villain, but as such, fans have creepified her as much as possible.
She's supposed to be shiver-worthy.

Other than top row 1x1 is tough. imsto dosen't keep any of other on hand for singles and ordering single keys is pretty high like 1000 or something. Offering some choice about winkey legend on full sets is something I am considering though.
Sure, I have done set with old style 9x logo in full colors before and it's certainly a possibility to offer that again.

I have in the past done a 20 per design, whether with full set or single key. For cost set up reasons it's better this way for production and allows to have a lower price.

What do you think about a Peacock green/teal?
Do you mean for the cyrillic part? It's a pretty light turquoise on the Peacock logo. I was thinking of deeper teal (like on the BSP typewriter dye subs) for the main legends and lighter secondary legends in a different shade for visual offset. Light turquoise didn't come out quite right on the IMSTO PBT Miami dye sub sets.

these PLEASE Ivan... on all white keys would be awesome.. :'(
Well I won't even lie about it... mostly it's because I don't want to do a whole bunch of new vector traces from photos to match what is on Cherry in those different languages. Using fonts with all the necessary characters would be so much easier and not consume days of my time. Though Greek wouldn't be too much hassle as it shares many with Cyrillic I already have done.If you tell me how to do it I could help trace them.
So for dual language sets I thinkI thought there was enough interest for a hangeul set too :-X
US/Arabic
US/Chinese
US/Japanese
US/Hebrew
US/Greek
But I think perhaps on some other fonts. Maybe give the Cherry style a rest for a change?

And I tried searching in Classified, most of them are already sold, or WTB instead. So I genuinely want to know where to buy them, and I think SSIPAK is just annoyed that you said they are easy to find. Let's not start trash talking in the thread please.
If you are in a dire need of pbt dyesubs, yes there aren't any stock ones other than imstos at the moment (I thought he still has the white one but he does not), but if you only want for the layout you can try from wasd maybe? Other than that in the classifieds, someone might not be using his from previous buys so you might get lucky..please do your research next time before you claim other people are stupid. i already saw that blue keycaps from imstos even before you made your post with your link. I clearly knew that you can not find any new hangul keycaps at the moment and that is why i made a suggestion in this thread but you came along and question my knowledge not just once but twice. if you want to play smart, please be sure that you can back it up before you click that post button
First of all Hangul was requested long before you even posted here so I would suggest reading before posting. Second, as I said in my previous post (since you are obviously in for the layout only) wasd are selling Hangul set any color you want and that will be way cheaper for you too. I didn't wanted to argue about this I simply suggested that there are other interesting (not already used) stuff that we can do, nothing more.once again, i suggested hangul because I didn't see hangul in op's list of dual language keys that he is currently interested in. I already saw that it's been requested before but op didn't include it in his latest post. also it's hilarious because you think that insulting people are same as you giving simple suggestions. oh and of course you didn;'t want to argue. no way. and who said i want abs hangul keycaps?
i've also wanted a set with Univers 57 Condensed - the old italic Apple keyboard font, bottom-left aligned with lowercase modifier text.
hangul as main legend and english as sublegend? why not? :DHa! Spoken like a true Jeanne d'Arc. If it's possible I'm all for it ;D
something like this...i love this colour scheme...^ My vote goes to this!
sub legend can be chinese or russian or german or something...

I bet you can get some support from the Mac users on GH as they always want the command key and such :thumb:
It is a very cool font and one that I wouldn't mind having on a white keyboard. The font itself is Univers 57 Oblique (http://deskthority.net/wiki/Apple_Extended_Keyboard_II#Keycaps).
The off-white with grey looks very distinguished.
I'm not a huge fan of italics, but if enough people want something like an Apple nostalgia set it's a possibility. Also hopefully sideprinting dyesub will be an option by the time we are ready so could put alt, and any other necessary legends to make the sets multi os friendly and still clean looking.
Not really. The way they have molds set up in multi key arrangements makes it hard. I guess it would be better to just leave it Mac specific then. There will be plenty of other choices for Windows oriented sets anyway.

Aside from the interesting look, there's the added "bonus" of getting the wrong/opposite color fulltouch caps lock. So for those who bought into the R2 sets and who would buy these too, you'd would think you'd have two bad sets, but in reality you'd have two good sets.
That, or just the actual correct color caps lock alone.
I would really like to run a Commodore style set at some point, but it's more likely to be attempted with GMK. When I try that I think I may give the alphas and mods+nav break up a shot again and run it with 2 options. Have the black on darker beige alpha set, a black on white mods+nav, and a black on beige mods+nav.
That way people that have black on white set could get a black on white mods+nav for mono or a beige set with modern keys, or can go with the Commodore style, or go with an all black/beige mono set.

Next round of sets might have 1.5 mods and 7x spacebar if they are ready as I have been informed molds for those are in the works. Of course the cost on these sets will be up to $15 higher than before. Still working on trying to convince produce molds for ISO enter and 1.75 shift and then it would at least have all the essentials.

My best guess is GMK wouldn't have issues with pad printing red some italic A 1.25 keys just like the originals... not sure if that would really be a trademark problem since it's simply a letter and not 'Amiga'. I guess the Commodore logo would be a no, but they didn't have those keys anyway on the originals.This is pretty much my end-game keyboard item.
Probably either all white or white/beige classic. Other custom order colors is too high MOQ with KBC, though it might be doable with PLUM. But I think certain color might not be doable as I think still at least 300 sets.
Yes if do white/beige will definitely make sure 100% there will not be the problem with wrong color keys again. I'm still annoyed they refused to fix that mistake.
So for dual language sets I think
US/Arabic
US/Chinese
US/Japanese
US/Hebrew
US/Greek
But I think perhaps on some other fonts. Maybe give the Cherry style a rest for a change?

What colorways that may be doable is pending on how PLUM stuff turns out. KBC is too high MOQ for custom color orders. 300 sets is a hard enough goal... 1000 is out of the question.Whoa KBC has a 1000 MOQ? Maybe when I receive my bank transfer from that Nigerian prince :))
1000 is for custom color, stock color is 400, compared to GMK, custom color will have MOQ of 600 if I remember right from the Toxic discuss, at that time they havent lowered standard MOQ (400->250) yet,You'd think that if we order them on a regular basis, there would be better tiers, but I guess we aren't that big of a customer to them. :shrug:
They are used to selling to OEM in huge quantities, not to individuals or small groups.Yeah I thought so. The day when everyone will appreciate a mechanical keyboard... now that's a dream.

Well, I wouldn't use a cp-rited font for commercial reasons without giving due credit and any licensing fees required. Just an italicized sans serif font would be sufficient I believe.
uh no... replica or nothing for me. i don't want just some italicized sans serif font; generic keycaps like that already exist. ivan dont care bout no copyrights anyways.
Will be ready to move forward with another round of full sets soon so I'm bumping this up so we can see where it should go in set choices.

Why not step out from what's been done and do Arabic or Thai sublegends? Or go full nerd and do Klingon or sonething.Agreed, but keep in mind that people have to want to buy it. I mean I would love Arabic or Thai but if the local people that actually use it cannot afford it and the rest of the world is not interested if the colour scheme is not interesting enough the GB will become a dud.
Cyrillic is awesome, but variety is better.
I would personally be really keen to see a Miami Odessa rerun with the original cherry font and cyrillic.It was supposed to be a bright Cyan and the red more Magenta but the dyesub place wasn't able to. They quoted temperatures being too high for a good print as a reason. Then again the same thing happened with the novelty run of the 'I'm in Miami *****!' key so I think it is probably simply a limitation of that way of printing.
I think the set would come alive if a deeper and more bold shade of teal was used though. The original run looks far too light to my eyes.

I suppose we could do a 'negative' of the handarbeit so the colors of the keys become the legend color. Would be easy enough and might be good enough for those that want it since I am not thinking it will have enough orders to be remade with GMK any time soon.
I'm up for offering anything that has enough support. My main goal though is to do some different stuff instead of keep rerunning the same same each time though.

This is an enhanced version of the Windows “United States” standard keyboard. It supplements the original layout with a multitude of additional symbols entered using the right-hand Alt key (also known as “Alt Gr”).The biggest problem is finding an alternative layout that has functions on every key and thus still offer a chance to have multiple colours without looking downright ugly and cluttered on a board.
This layout is intended for those people who want to have a standard keyboard and still be able to type words like “naïve,” “café,” or “façade,” and occasionally proper names like Nærøyfjord, Nǃxau ǂToma, or Tȟašúƞke Witkó, or even individual phrases and short texts in foreign languages without switching a layout. It provides support for the vast majority of letters and special symbols used in contemporary languages with Latin-based alphabets, among them:
letters for virtually all contemporary European languages, including accented Serbo-Croatian, Skolt Sami, and Turkish (lack of complete support is only observed for a couple of very exotic letters with double diacritics, which may nevertheless be input using combining diacritical marks);
a multitude of typographical symbols, including a complete set of English, French, and German quotation marks, “em” and “en” dashes, Spanish inverted punctuation marks, copyright and trade mark signs, common currency signs, and others;
Vietnamese letters and letters of the Chinese phonetic system (pīnyīn), with tone diacritics;
special letters used in African languages, and also in languages of indigenous people of Americas and Australia, including symbols for African click consonants and letters for the African reference alphabet (within the limitations of the Unicode character set);
letters of the International Alphabet of Sanskrit Transliteration (IAST) as well as special symbols used in romanizations of Arabic and Hebrew;
a limited subset of International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) for English, German, and French (including symbols used to denote long sounds and stress);
contemporary Greek letters (without diacritics).
Really hope this get's run again sometime in the future.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/G65HIfJ.png)

Love the matching Cherries for the win keys also.
i would love something like this! can it be PBT?
I'd rather pay +8$ for the thicker caps.
How would you guys feel about using Cherry brand keys? It would be the newer type ones that are a bit thinner same as what is on current G80 production like theseWell, you could use them to offer some keys that are impossible to get otherwise. Like perhaps G80-18** layouts.Show Image(http://wenda.chinabaike.com/uploads/allimg/131015/2314245245-8.jpg)
trade off it's cheaper by $8. If really lucky might be able to finally get some ISO kits but no promise.
Not mini pack, it only come as a whole thing. Basically could get these but as blank so allow to dyesub instead of lasered they usually available.Show Image(http://i00.i.aliimg.com/wsphoto/v0/1719794566/Cherry-cherry-mechanical-keyboard-g80-3800-3850-3000-keyboarded-pbt-pom-kc104b.jpg)

Is there any other advantage to it other than the 8$ or that it's "original Cherry"?

If it offers more keys for many type of keyboards then why not? Only problem because they're thinner walled you might get the PMK problems like what was seen with Granite R1 series.
Deformation is easy and might not be impossible to get rid of. Having thicker walled keys allows easier dye-sub, like what Imsto provided in his latest BSP sets - they were simply "SUPERB".

What kind of problems?
Unless Cherry has changed it recently, the mods keys are still thicker from the old molds. Only the 1x keys are the thinner type. imsto have dyesubbed some of these before so I wouldn't anticipate any issues with that at all.
They are cheaper, have stock ready to go (no waiting for keys production, just straight purchase and dyesub) and lower MOQ.

The dyesub aspect has always been low with me at 20 units. If someone comes up with an idea that can get at least that many orders, it's pretty much always been anything goes within the limits of the dyesublimation process available to us.

I like the idea of the modern type without all the other languages on the keycap. I feel it makes them too busy.

Y no like Georgian?If you can make a layout that fits, I'd love Nordic Runes :D
I've entertained doing stuff like Egyptian Hieroglyphs, or Nordic Runes in the past.
I vote Century Gothic single legends...Would go for.

Ok, I'm going to start working up some mock ups so I can get buy started. Last chance for any other bright ideas!
Will be going for the following: US set with Code Pro, US/RU set with Century Gothic, US set Cherry font in handarbeit homage, US/KO set in noto sans, US/JP set in M+2 light, US/AR UniversNext, US/HE Swiss721, MAC set in Univers57 oblique.
Will be going for the following: ... MAC set in Univers57 oblique.
ANSI only again, can't source PBT ISO Cherry profile. No one but Cherry has ISO enter mold, and they won't sell ISO blank kits unless I can buy 10k sets LOL.

Will be using the same ones as before. Cherry doesn't do mixed materials in standard production models. PBT set have 100% PBT key for all.
Yes the thick molds are older, still same ones from the 80's I guess. Easiest way to get a blank POM set would be to buy a G80-3000LPCXY or XX if you prefer an ISO.
Classic, Classic Apple, Cyrillic, Hebrew, and what the hell is that last one? Not really a fan of it.
Here is some rough prelims. Some mock ups are pretty ****, but I hope it gives a general idea.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/5McsSkV.png)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/wBiY2Ru.png)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/9JQdsqj.png)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/9qkYI2k.png)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/jfMTA6k.png)
I'll probably tone down/clean that one up so it's not quite so busy.
The green and black one is Arabic. I was trying something, but it clearly didn't work. I do like the font and colors though. I'll be reworking the mock ups so they are all consistent and correct before I finalize them and start up the actual buy. Some of it is placeholder as I just tossed them together quickly to get some feedback.
Only 104 ANSI sets are available. Other key sizes can't happen right now as they don't exist from the supplier.

the hebrew should be dark green while arabic is dark blue.
i think so. just suggesting according to the OG cherry sets that i've seen though. :Dthe hebrew should be dark green while arabic is dark blue.
Isn't that the opposite of real life?
You know, hebrew blue (Jewish blue), arab green (Islam green).

Any idea when this will start as a GB? Love the 2tone and the fonts.
Sorry I know it's come up multiple times but Ivan any word for certain from imsto on the color of full touch caps lock? Will it come in beige this time?
Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/4KghGS2.png)
Going with this for Arabic. I think it does look a lot more sleek than the old fashioned brush font. Still working on the other few KO, JP, etc.
I'd grab that arabic, it looks nice and we don't have enough green keycaps :)Same here, I love that green look.
Sorry I know it's come up multiple times but Ivan any word for certain from imsto on the color of full touch caps lock? Will it come in beige this time?
I agree, this is a very important detail.
If a correct caps lock key can't be guaranteed this time, I'll have to pass.
Yeah I never understood that. Couldn't be a mold issue as it's just a color right? Weird.Sorry I know it's come up multiple times but Ivan any word for certain from imsto on the color of full touch caps lock? Will it come in beige this time?

+1 This is a must for me.
I wonder why they would even make it in the wrong color to begin with?
hmm, if i recall correctly, ivan did mention about the capslock issue when he mentions that he is using different supplier for this round.
also that capslock's off colour wasn't what ivan wanted either, it was the manufacturer's fault or something, which i can't remember the details already.
i believe that issue bothers ivan more than anyone else :p
btw, love the hebrew set, but also waiting patiently for the improved mock-ups (for the hebrew numpad section, will the Home arrow PgUp sublegends be spelled as it is or will it be different? i absolutely love the dual-tone on the numpad!) and the KO/JP mock-ups ;D

Korean.
I'll make sure either the caps lock is the right color, or if they really can't manage it we'll go with all same color key. The issue was the way they have the molds made up with multiple keys in groups. The full touch caps lock is together with some other keys like numpad zero and etc for whatever reason...
Can we see about some other symbol for win keys? Something besides windows
Ivan,
I don't know how other people feel about this, but I really liked how you used the Cherries on the win keys for the R2 Cyrillic.
I guess colors are going to be subjective... and it depends MASSIVELY what it looks like on what you are viewing it on.
KO set is done in orange and light brown. JA set is a revised 'Miami' colorway with the cyan bumped more towards sea foam green since it came out a pale blue last time. Trying some different things with fonts and legends instead of same old. Why does every set have to look the same?
I think I will model MAC set off the AEK.

Might be too late, but I would like to see a reverse Cyrillic, but with different characters like Chinese for example. So a black keycap, white english lettering, and the different characters red. Would look really cool IMO. Just a suggestion

This is simply not possible. The legend has to be darker than the keycap for dyesubbing...
Nothing has been completely finalized yet on colorways. The fonts/layouts are probably more or less going to be the same but may also be subject to change based on feedback.

I'm not sure if everyone hates it, or just hates particular versions of it.
Never realized the windows key was so controversial...
Not trying to offend, just never realized.
I'll take anything because I dont really even use it or look at it unless I need to windows+r, which is rare.
Just out of curiosity, why is the Function Row for the JP keys like, circles with numbers in them?not really sure, that's the one thing that I'm not a fan of with that set; guess I'm one of the few who likes that watermelony colorway
