Title: [LIMITED TIME] Navy/Gold Spherical DOUBLE SHOT keycaps for Round 4 Groupbuy
Post by: Clickey on Wed, 30 November 2011, 10:28:50

Hey guys, I like the spherical keyset in 7bits groupbuy, but the colors don't stand out to me. I picked colors that are most visible to the human eye (yellow on dark blue background). I just did a quick paint edit to give an example of colors, so it is not filled in correctly but it would look the SPH keyset except with these colors. We need 25 orders to get it made, so post here and pm if you want in.

We gotta be quick if we can get in with 7bits groupbuy!

This is what the layout/font will be (the original keyset) except in the navy/gold colors

Really no1 is interested in a kit without white/black background? The color scheme is designed to be most visible and therefore better for people who actually need to look at the keys and in low light situations.

Yeah it reminds me of Windows's high-contrast color schemes.  Blech.

I expect Ripster to bust in through a wall to complain about the new font.

Maybe he'll bring Kool-Aid.

Well the secondary colors arent as important as the yellow writing. That is not what the actual font would be either, it will be exactly the same as the SPH spherical set except for colors.

This may be to your liking (again remember to ignore the font and random squiggles and the fact half the keys arent labeled we are talking colors only)?
