I am going to call it 'Miami' since the colorway reminds me of that city... If you've been there, you know why.
I do want to keep it straight forward, simple and as inexpensive as possible. It will be doubleshots done with SP stock font, standard upper left position. It will be only available in ANSI 90 set following modern standards for keysizes. This means it will be made to fit typical Filco, Leopold, Ducky, etc.
Are we keeping the original colors or going with custom colors?
Form filled, hopefully we get up to 75 sets and the colors turn out nice.
Seems like it'll only take ~47 min by train, but its $4.50 for a ride back and forth on the MTA. So i might as well eat the shipping costs unless I can find someone who'll lend me their monthly metrocard :D
Though if the pics turn out really nice, then i'll definately make my way there just to get them super early lol.
Can you post an updated photo of the cap color that's different from what lysol used?
Might want to put this into OP:Show Image(http://geekhack.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=42688&d=1330885719)
Makes them that much more appealing, IMO. I just have to decide now whether I can get a full on pink custom set or to go for this!
Done, thanks
I also think that pic is probably under direct photo light or with some serious flash. I bet they look much "richer" in person. Soooooo tempted!
Boost... you are an enabler. :grouphug:

Are they richer in lower light? I love the idea but those colours don't look vivid enough for me.

Ooo! That key chain picture makes me want this even more now, and I didn't think that would be possible xD. Yes, please!
I thought more people would be jumping on this when the order thread was posted.
By the way. Will we be adding 00 and 0 keys to the num pad set? For those of us with those keys instead of the long 0?
what are the font colors? are they all in black?
any word on the iso set?? and how many are we up to atm??
Boo black legends. Order more, people! I thought this had more interest. We need to get this to at least 50...
I should do next month's GH gb in these colors. Maybe people will see them and join.
still at 15 sets and no word from Melissa about the ISO. I will email her today, maybe she forgot about my email.
No black font please!
+1 for more orders, I thought there was more interest in this set.
Kind of sad a lot of the GHers in the IC haven't jumped on. Must've blew their wad on those KMACs floating around or Group Buy Round 4.
I can send in $10, but post your Paypal email in the OP.
I run on an iso kb.
Kind of sad a lot of the GHers in the IC haven't jumped on. Must've blew their wad on those KMACs floating around or Group Buy Round 4..This is true and the million other buys going on right now :-/
Hey boost, I sent some dorras to your paypal addy I had from the SHS GB. if you still have my address, great, if not, don't worry about it!
Chipped in a little for the prototype
What is a prototype? One key? or like a row of keys?
Also, I'd insist, from now on on all SP buys, that they take extra care to mitigate the visibility of the frontal sprue marks.
I don't want to be a wet blanket, but I don't see how throwing money at a single prototype is going to help anything. It still has to go through the digitizing process (taking pictures) and colors never translate well, so it'll still be a single person's (boost's) call, and we already have the color chips, so that call should have already been made... It just seems like a waste of money to me
Is that a double shot? Looks like there is a gap/indentation around the legend.
I will be in for a set if we reach the 100 set price point.
I think it looks awesome. Hope it looks better in person.
Donation well spend. :llama:
Looks great. OK I'm back in.
50 sets+ will make this a go.
Questions:
What is $45x2?
When will orders close?
Will the modifiers still be teal on pink?
So that legend fee will be added in later? How much is it?
Will any of the caps will be teal on pink other than the GH key?
Boost will be adding the legend fee later. I am guessing the legend fee will add $3.6 to all orders at 25 sets, $1.8 at 50 sets, $1.2 at 75... etc... etc.
But seeing as we don't even have 25 sets ordered yet; I would worry more about ordering more sets ;).
Don't forget to update DT, boost. Just in case somebody actually wants to get in on it from there or whatever ^^.
DT?
http://www.deskthority.net/ (http://www.deskthority.net/)
well my body is ready for this set!!!! :D
The $45x2 is the new legend fees for the special modifiers. Modifiers will.be teal on pink just like the pic in op. Well will close 1 week after he hit 50 sets.
:D
OK so all of the caps will be Pink n Teal right? OP needs an update so everyone will know b4 purchasing. The OP still has the original mixed color set and White GH modifiers.
Woot just hit 25 sets and updated the colors...
:D
take it ISO is totally off the cards?
Colours are too weak for me.
care to elaborate?
I can't believe there isn't more interest in this set. Colors are sexy. I'd be in if it got up to 50 sets!

are you including winkeyless version also?
Didn't I tell you to order up on tsangan kits before? Was it you or Feng, I think it was both. Told you, you would need it :rofl:
if you put in your order, you'll be one more closer to 50 sets compared to you not putting in your order.Yep.
Yep.
OK, after all of my questions I'm in. Order placed. (anxiously waiting for the 50 set mark)
The key in the photo looks too good.
NEED MOAR ORDERS... :fish2:
Is the order list updated? I'm really hoping it's not, because I thought we had more interest than this.
How many base sets can be allowed into a medium flat box? :)
Thanks,
Taeyoung

GLWGB!

You know you can buy more than one set of keycaps, right?!?!
I think we all knew this will take time. These aren't classic colors, so it will take a few people that are willing to step out of the box.
Boost: Rag said that SP is increasing their DS prices. Try to verify if this set will not be subject to the pending price changes.

boost could you consider removing the 3 bonus keys from the base set and then baking all the final fees for the real price?
clicked first link.. didn't see the ferrari.. was going to complain.I couldn't leave out the Ferrari. Especially what happened before they got it:
clicked second link..... now thinking about getting this set.
(Attachment) 51866[/ATTACH]Was wandering who was going to spot that. Also in the Ferrari clip, the guy shirt is the color we're using.
Noticed that in the upper left hand corner of the video :P
http://news.nationalpost.com/2012/05/30/miami-cannibal-attack-video/
Maybe this will help to decide for buying this keyset.
it's just a shame there arn't more people willing to jump on this chance to get such unique coloured caps while they are avaliable... not like the other more standard colour schemes won't come around many times.... :/
It's a beautiful set and I'd buy it if only there was an add on ISO kit.

I thinking about running the extra keys as addon. What yall think?
This GB will miss the point of the "Miami Vice" theme because not enough people will buy the add-ons.
Unless you add more keys to the add-on set, it could fall below the number to include it in the GB.
An ISO and Tsangan sets will have to be considered, making this a more complicated GB that's already have a bit of difficulty reaching 50 as is.
boost you should advertise at the baseball stadium man
my name is not on order list....
please check...
Updates about spacebar compatibility?
Same as the rag one...
I too am thinking about it! Question though, what kind of plastic are the keycaps going to be?
ABS of course.

bump for 5 more
anyone anyone besides me need winkeyless modifiers?
I still see my name on the list ;)
Just reminding that I had to cancel my order.
Yeah, believe me I hate having to do it, but it has come it unfortunately. Having to spend money on more important things =).
I guess you didn't get the memo. ISO is dead. All the cool kids use ANSI/US now. :smile:

Sorry to all that wanted an ISO kit there just wasn't enough interest...
Were the flamingo keys just canceled or could they not be made?
I'd really love two flamingo's for optional replacements for the windows keys, I feel like if were going through all this we might as well get some cool custom ones too... but I don't know if there's much interest or how far you are with the manufacturing company already.
anyone got any ideas as to a good place that would be able to get me an ISO set to match this colour scheme??

You guys ok with blank ISO kit?
I found what you need right here. Go ahead and order this (http://www.keyboardco.com/keyboard_details.asp?PRODUCT=834) and your ISO dreams come true.
:rofl:
I kind of hate you
It's ok. You're starting to see the truth of my words and your mind wants to reject the thought.

if your short by a few ISO sets and really need 25 to place the order, just add what you need to my ISO order... I mean, Ima' need that ISO kit so f' it right? lol
LOL. Don't worry...
When will this close?
Really conflicted by this GB!
Is anyone else in the UK buying? If I can split the shipping then that will make it much more feasible.
True, 19 USD just feels like a lot on a GB that I can't really afford at the moment!
How much would that be?
for an extra £5, wouldn't you want the security of better postage? I sure as hell wouldn't trust the Royal Mail lol
Statistically, it's not worth it.
Say you lose 1 package out of hundred. If you have to pay 5$ more each pacage, it makes 500 dollar you paid in postage. You could use those 500 dollars to rebuy the one package you lost :P.
So only pay the extra on the things where you can't afford to lose it. And put some faith in your luck for the rest.
Your right I cannot afford it but I want it.
F**K YOU KEYBOARDS!
I'll need to get a quote, hut should be <$10 for 1 set
Great.
If I get a set, can I also get additional "GeekHack Miami Edi" R1 keys?
This is one of the only DS sets I would ever consider buying but I'm completely dried out on cash :( sorry.
Yep
In
Yep
Does this mean we can also buy the geekhack and the miami modifier keys alone ? :D

I lost my aversion to pink because of STi. STi's made me realize just how badass tasteful use of the color pink can be. I was even upset when Subaru changed the USDM STi logo from pink to red in 2006 to try and sell more STi's to homophobic American men who are bought into the big media brainwash that always portrays pink as a girly/fruity color.
That being said, I really don't have the funds for these right now and am trying to convince myself not to put in a last minute order... but maybe I should buy a set since I can always resell them... lol decisions decisions...

We are now closed...Thanks to everyone that mad this possible!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Np! Just dont start asking for money too early... just spent $550 on topre stuff this week xD
Should anyone not on the "order list" on page one be worried if we filled out the form?
glad i got a last minute order in! These will look so nasty on a white tkl, and quite possibly even better on my oneproduct blue polished poker case!
Going to write Melissa in a few minutes.
I'd say, 1-1.5 weeks of collecting money
5-7week production time
3-4 day to get items
2-5 days to send all of them out
Its kind of a long wait but it will be worth it :)
i hope we get them before school starts :(
You didn't happen to order an extra 10 key set did you?
You should yell at Melissa about fixing their half-ass 'tab' legend!
Is there any option to remove just the 17key addon from my order? Kinda messed up and forgot about what I've ordered, or will it be too big of a deal?
