[IC] Carbon Keyset

[bbrotha]

totally understandable, I know it will rock!

[yobinad]

IMO it has everything to be successful. That color scheme plus SA profile is great 

[simonyunhe]

Carbon live on Massdrop now!!! :-)

I was hoping to get my Hack'd in before I ordered a second SA set.

Just joined the GB on massdrop

I know the group buy just started and we had ample of time to make corrections, but there are always things that slip through. I'm pretty confident that we'll see a Round 2 for this, so I'd like to list some points for potential improvement, just so they don't slip under the rug the second time.

Maybe others have some suggestions too (possibly from Massdrop comments or Reddit).

• '@ key to ISO kit for UK Dvorak users
• grey arrow and PrtScn/ScrLk/Pause keys to Flex kit
  
  • I feel like you already had those in the Flex kit and removed them? Not sure...
• Make extra 6.25u spacebars available
• Split up ISO kit?

Wlhlm,

you know i always listen to community. But if GB starts its over to make changes. We got like two months of development. And now people start to appear with their subjective wishes. It was well known project on reddrit and here. Just my two cents. For the next possible round i wish more input from people who care for this project and not only for my project but also for others.

Anyway i dont blame you or others who already were active while development. I am very thankfull for your input. Without you guys it would not be that far as it is now.

Now some info to current GB on Massdrop:
- We are trying right now to get quotes on 6.25u Spacebar and 4.5u Spacebar. Keep in mind its not up to me to decide, we decide it in democratic way.
- I cant give you the Data about the sold kits, but Base kit is leading in sales.

Despite you named some points for the next possible round, i got some other points:
- Many of Planck users wish all row3 kit with blanks. I consider to make only planck round. For this i need to work out some kits.
- Some people wish separated alphas from modifiers.

You can call this Carbon v1.0. Like i always say: i do not promise next round as i dont have the data/info to decide if Carbon is worth next round. Anyway if it comes so far i will develop Carbon further. The most important thing is, i need to hold it in my hands. I need to see the colors the custom legends with my own eys. It is even possible that i will change colors for the next round. I also need to buy the color chain from SP.

ps. wlhlm i have read your comment on reddit with UK Dvorak. I just forgot to add it. I always read every comment on reddit and here. Please dont take it as i have ignored it. Thats not true i always care for people who provide some meaningfull input.

[wlhlm]

Thank you for the explanation.

I just put the list together for readability, instead of having the points scattered across Massdrop comments. Those aren't necessarily my points, but I find them worthy to discuss (that doesn't mean they absolutely have be included). Personally, I made sure all the keys for all the layouts I could ever want, are included in the first run.

Truth is, there will always be requests once a keycap group buy starts. People really only start to think once they have to put money on the line.

I'm sure you've read my comment for the Dvorak key. You forgetting about it was the very reason, why I've made the list in first place, it's easy to lose track with so many suggestions from many different places.

I feel like, the popularity will only rise with IRL pictures, but we'll see.

Another point that came to mind:

• DT forum key

About DT forum key i have to ask them if they wish Carbon featuring Deskthority key.

Anyway any work on Carbon will continue first after i get the keys in my hand. Also i would like to read opinions here from owners after they get their kits. Especially critics with pictures.

Ok guys we got nice overview of sold kits (see link below "top left corner")

Interesting numbers!

That poor ISO kit It would be interesting to compare with Sci-fi, to see which way is more effective (multiple vs a single, big ISO kit).

Yap that's sad. I assume many europeans who are into custom keysets switched (like me) from iso to us ansi.

Yep, same for me.

Also Massdrop being a PITA for Europeans shipping-wise is a big factor.

Geez you poor beggars.

I got a quote for ONLY $15.99USD shipping and I'm over the Moon with that costing  .  But the keysets shall cost a pretty penny here but well worth the purchase  .

Although we need more options to BUY extra 6.25 space bar keys - PLEASE MAKE THIS HAPPEN before this Group Buy ends on MassDrop.

[skuko]

i'd jump on it, but i prefer DSA

[Zustiur]

Order placed. The price looked so good before currency conversion. Ouch.
Good thing I haven't been spending much of my computer budget lately!

I´ll talk to MD officials. I think this should be no problem But keep in mind each color for spacebar has it MOQ requirements. I think its 25 units. So in order to be produced it must sell 25 times. Each specific color i think.

You mean 25 people have to be on buying them or can one person buy 25 space bars?

Doesn't matter, as long as there are orders for 25 space bars and people pay for them, they'll produce and sell them.

Yeeha!

Just melted my credit card ordering this baby.

I simply had to have so many of the extra kits.

Good man, it's always worth sacrificing yourself for something greater. 

Just means a little more time spent down at the 'massage parlor' paying off the debt on that card, that's all  .

[Cods]

aaaaand more SA purchased. Sweet.
The exchange rate is so hosed...

[T0mb3ry]

We got an Update. I smell Carbon can reach 500 base kits
Still quite sad about ISO kit.

[user 18]

Ordered.

Base kit + novelties + forum kit + warning signs

[trees]

Interesting the number pad has reached the 'next drop point'. Where will the new price be reflected?

Yep, don't you love it when the bill increases day by day, even before the deadline arrives  .

That's what makes this Country so great, pay little today but pay way MORE tomorrow........ (very Greek-Like).

The new Values are displayed directly on description page also while check out.

Wish this was also DSA, that would be sooo amazing. Props to T0mb for giving the keyset to Thinman (also props to him for the mock-up)!

Unfortunately the numbers are in for SA Profiles only, the DSA can only dream about getting nearly 2000+ customers to sign up for them.

Everyone likes the SA profile here hence get use to this for some time to come.....  .

I assume Carbon will go way over 2000 sold kits. You know there are always people who wait until last hours.

So... more than 2200 kits sold and still some time to go. Holy smokes, this has got to be the most successful GB I've participated in! I assume since the lowest price was unlicked we reached over 500 base sets?

Hallelujah Brother, this Group Buy looks to keep on going  . 

As soon as more and more sign on, the deadline gets pushed back further and further so this could potentially be the longest MassDrop Group Buy ever.

Definitely. Here's how it looked for Granite:
