[IC] RetroBlight - Classic, now with more yellow! (On Hold -_- )

[HydraDyne]

Mooooommmm! Get me this set!

[Chedda7]

Big update v soon.
Can't release the deets. But they're the deets that I know you all want to hear.
 

How....much....longer....? I am really excited for this set.

[kingnestea]

this looks so classic ) ) )

Judging from the estimated ship date for the Amazing Chocolatier (Feb 6, 2017) you've got a long wait, assuming this is even the next SA profile set that Signature Plastics put into production.

It looks like this GB will launch around October/November.
Details are to come as things get finalised.

YESSSSSS!
(I really hope there will be pastel mods and a kit to support the tada68/vanilla whitefox.)

Fall in love with the pastel CMYK, really look forward to it

[Oatburner]

definitely interested

[phinix]

Yes, I'm a boring person, I want one!

Please make sure you add ISO UK set (edit: sorry I noticed its already there:)

If alphas are like those in Penumbra, which ones are they. Solarised or mega yellow ones?

[WASD_Greg]

Hi, I like this keycap set a lot. Great work. I hope it is making the GB stage soon.

Are the different kits in the OP already final?

If not, I have two suggestions:

1) Add the missing F5 to F8 caps to the alpha kit (in the same colour as the alphas).

2) Add another modifier kit in the same colour as the colour of the alpha kit. I for one would really enjoy a complete board in the yellowish/off white colour of the alpha kit.

Edit:

3) It's great that you offer a G80-1800 kit. I would be interested in one. However, your kit seems to be missing a 1.75u shift key and the buttom row with the 1u modifiers for the win-key version as well as the 6u/7u space bars?

I was momentarily excited there was a real update :|

Unfortunately, SP doesn't offer 6u SA profile spacebars and the yellow modifier kit probably wouldn't hit MOQ.  In addition, you would see there are multiple 1.75 shift keys, 7u spacebars, and OS keys among the planned kits if you clicked a few of the

Cant wait to see this keyset drop. Gonna be my first SA caps.

I'm really needing a reason not to pull the trigger on the Godspeed set. Is this still happening?

[tobsn]

could you add additional large blanks? 2.75u for example...

[wodan]

Please consider an International kit. We've gotten proper international kits for almost all SA profile drops on Massdrop, the sad exception being Danger Zone and it would be a shame miss it for this set. The International Kit of Godspeed has easily reached MOQ after just a few days, will add great versatility to this set.

[ideus]

The look makes a good example of an authentic yellowed set with modern modifiers in dark beige. They look exactly as my old PC4 NCR set with my modern Cherry modifiers. I do not like it much though.

[zabuza1997]

This is still going on, right? OP has said the GB is gonna launch in Nov or Dec

Yup. Some final changes are being made while we are currently waiting for a timeslot.

Has a groupbuy platform been decided on? I see the IC was through massdrop.

[Cods]

Sweet.

[aptivaboy]

REALLY looking forward to using these on my BTC 7000.

[losskutleboys]

Oh my lord... is this happening soon ?

[InfernoZeus]

Ooh, this is nice!

[ideus]

Wow! I just figured out that this is approaching two years in the IC phase. 

[dsaf]

This is happening any minute now, right?

Not much time left until Dasher/Dancer drops in December.

[gandroider]

This is so classic and retro! I'd love to see it on MD or anywhere else.. Thanks for the effort.

We just had a bad (good!) run of keycap drops too, with Godspeed, Grand Budapest, Borealis, Skidata, Nantucket, and more within the last couple months. Excruciating. I too was hoping for just Dasher in December! Having said that I'll absolutely sell a bunch of **** if I must to ensure I hop aboard the Retroblight Express.

ikr and there are a lot of amazing sets too in the early 2017.

[parablol]

I love the look of this set. Will buy it if a Dvorak option is offered.

[FrostyToast]

I'm just waiting on some fixes to the renders and then we can accelerate things from there.

Accelerate into December or into 2017?

Any update? Love this set! Thanks!

PS: Raptors are awesome, thanks!

[samwisekoi]

I'm in!

The render on page one appears to show this keyset in a Unicomp 122-key case and a GH-122 PCB.  That case is ~20 bucks, and a small run of the PCBs would be around ~50 each.  120 switches are ~40 from sennin32.  With a Teensy and shipping, say $150 (without a plate) for the keyboard ready for keycaps.

Go, man, go!

Could the Unicomp 122 actually be a case option for a GH-122?

[samwisekoi]

Could the Unicomp 122 actually be a case option for a GH-122?

Yup.  The PCB was designed to fit in that case.  The block spacing (0.34". 0.33", 0.33") matches.  It can't curve* but otherwise, yes.

In fact I will be posting some pics in the GH-122 Case thread this weekend.

{edit]
*Specifically, the GH-122 PCB cannot curve from top-to-bottom like an IBM F, M, or AT keyboard.  However, what it can do is be cut and bent to enable the upper bank(s) of switches to be angled towards the user as in the IBM/Unicomp case.  This is fully supported by the GH-122.2016 PCB.

Who is delaying it? Do you need any help?

I'm doing it. Delaying? You got nerve talking about things you don't know.

Hi, I did not mean any offence! Is there anything I can give a hand with? I have a basic experience of 3d modelling/texturing and editing raster/vector images. If it's a matter of rendering stuff from more angles, tweaking colors/icons I could probably do some of that.

any chance you can do red alternate modifier kits?

I guess big update time should be in about an hour once I'm home...

Might not start too soon but soon(tm)
