Title: R00TW0RM Key Set (Update)
Post by: f/64 on Tue, 11 September 2012, 02:44:28
So after emailing with Melissa, what we're looking at doing is 100 sets with 7 caps per set.

They will be DCS double shots in the standard SP font.
GQM for the body
ON for text

(http://i.imgur.com/utl6N.png)

G and H as row 3
R-R-R-Roll Back as row 1
The rest as row 5.

We could end up selling them separately if it comes to that, but it's looking  like $11 $9.50 (only 4 new legends, not 7) a set before shipping.

They can dye sub the iMavs on row 1s, and at 100 caps it'd be just over $4 a cap before shipping. That's including and splitting the set up fee.

We can do the iMavs separately and with somebody else if desired.

If I'm missing anything here, or something should be changed, just say so.

Low interest caps:

Honestly though, unless it's not too expensive, we could do something unrelated to the hack if more people would be interested.

R00tw0rm keycap sounds ok. Would be a commemorative keycap that would remind us all of the horrible events of that time.

I would buy shares in Nokia before wasting money on a Ripster keycap.

To me it's simple. I would not buy a keycap commemorating a guy that burned all bridges for whatever reason. He isn't a martyr.

If anything we should make a keycap that says R.I.P. GH WIKI.

Like the existing "GEEK HACK" ones, the r00t w0rm one, a R.I.P.ster key, the one with iMav's avatar, custom "G" and "H" keys etc. and make/sell it as a pack?

If it was worked right, and proceeds went to Geekhack, I don't think many people would mind.  Any you really didn't want could be sold separately - someone would want them.

I got an email back from Melissa saying it'd be $45 for the legend and $2.11 for 75 of the R00TW0RMs.

 I told her that this being a Geek Hack affiliated order estimate, naturally things had changed. I told her we'd probably be looking at 7 different types of caps and around 50-100 of each of those; we'll see what she says.

Any preferences on fonts?

Nothing's set yet; when GH was "refugeed" on DT, it was an idea that was brought up and garnered support. Since I hadn't seen it done, I thought I'd revive it as it were and see if there was interest. All of the other caps, including the Ripster one, I did because somebody suggested them.

If/When we do the iMav, I don't plan on using SP so it probably wouldn't be included in the set. There's been interest in Qwerkeys and from what I've seen, they do look good. That's probably who I'd use for that, unless the majority wants to use somebody else.

I'm just mocking up any ideas tossed out basically, but I do need more feed back from everybody interested.

Which caps do you like/dislike, what do you want to see done, do you like the idea of a group of key caps or would you prefer to buy just a single cap.

Agreed, for all we know this could be a joke against those who received it. (ie. AS$F#@%!*$)

If you did make a R.I.Pster cap you'd definitely want some company other then SP make them. Unless you want to also make a cap with "Let's Kern"

I think that might fall outside the scope of this proposed GB.

I'd say that's pretty historical, or at least just as funny. Better then the mystery AF caps.

Slightly off-topic, but I was really wondering how a single key cap can cost that much  :eek:

But yeah, how about adding another key cap with $250 on it.  Doesn't have to be red - it can be the same colour as the others.  Then you could say "I have a $250 key cap" and "here is it ;)".

Anyone remember the "priceless" ads? Original cherry red Esc - $250. For everything else there's MasterCard.

It doesn't fit as well, and others seem interested in the R00TW0RM cap. If that's not the case, we can drop it.

What about GEEK HACK ED? You know, keeping it traditional.

Imav won't work as Doubleshot. And SP's pad printing is ugly.
DYESUB!

I'm interested in iMav keycaps.
If/When we do the iMav, I don't plan on using SP so it probably wouldn't be included in the set. There's been interest in Qwerkeys and from what I've seen, they do look good. That's probably who I'd use for that, unless the majority wants to use somebody else.
I think we should go dyesub on this one. Look at how well imsto's dyesubs have come out. The WASD lasered keycap looks pretty good, but I suspect a dyesub of it would look better. Pad print is too expensive, and it's way to complicated for doubleshot. I'm not even sure QWERkeys can get details that small (And if they can, how good will they look)

Clearly Dyesub on thick PBT from imsto is the only option.

They couldn't do the ripster cap as a double shot in one line, so I redid it and changed the set in the first post. She also said dye sub as orange on dark grey wouldn't work, so we may have to invert that unless it is possible with somebody else.

Edit:
I updated the set with the iMav inverse; can charcoal the whole top of the cap and make iMav orange instead if preferred.

I'm interested in any of the above. A set would be cool too, but making them available individually for people to just snipe what they want seems like a good idea. For those that think this is in bad taste I think it is good to remember your history. We have not brushed 9/11 or any World War under the rug to be forgotten, or other tragedies for that matter. Geek hack being down was a tragedy no doubt :p

Maybe we need a "never forget" tongue in cheek GH key.

Looks good.

$11 per set is very reasonable.

At that price everyone might jsut as well buy the set and sell or throw out the odd key that they don't want, rather than making them available individually, which would probably turn out more expensive?
Title: Re: R00TW0RM Key Set (Update)
Post by: f/64 on Wed, 12 September 2012, 17:33:48
That was my thinking as well. If we add the iMav to the set, it'd be right at $15 not including shipping.

Yeah, it shouldn't be too terribly long now that we have an idea on prices. What I really need to know now: is everybody that's shown interest so far okay with it being a set, and do we want SP to dye sub the iMavs. Also, if so, do we want to add those to the set?

Yeah, you can only dyesub darker colours onto lighter. The inverted one looks great, and I'd be down for several. I think I'd prefer orange (or white, like the origional) with darker colour on it, than trying to dyesub most of the top.

So the iMav will look more like this since they need an SVG.

That's about the best I could do, maybe somebody more adept at inkscape could produce something more accurate to the original?

So for the R.I.P. ster key in Helvetica, any possibility in having QWERkeys make them? I like the orange and black, but what about a stone grey cap with a black edge and R.I.P. ster in black. This would almost have a tombstone look to it.

So you want to just make 4 (Four) keys and nothing else?

What happened to integrating them with an 87 key-set or a 104 version?  The Orange and Charcoal set should be the penultimate 100% GEEKHACK set to own and would sell far more than just a tiny 4 Cap set.

Plus sales of a Geekhack Key-set can get a small dividend from the sales to keep this place running. I don't mind paying a higher price tag so that iMav gets some extra moolah rolling in.

As for the RIPster key, put it as a possible option for those that still harbor tendencies of fanaticism for him.

Sherryton, please remember when you're organizing another Group Buy you want to catch a majority of interest for a product and this means catering as much as you can for a larger slice of the Key-cap market that may entail interest from other Forums and such.

oh really? the penultimate set? so what about the ultimate set? and who gave you authority to decide what that set would be? and who would make those keys? what about addon kits, that's going to be more than 104 keys right there.

So asking questions seems to be something you don't approve of?  Go figure....... Sherryton was given the exclusive rights hence I directed the question to him, not you.  There is no firm and hard direction coming from me at all.  I just asked a basic question about the normal full key-sets (the we purchase from here regularly) being possibly available instead of the 4 that he had mentioned earlier.  Plus he then asked what further input was required.

I didn't know I needed "Authority" from you to ask any questions.  Please denote which rule(s) that specifies that clearly?

Sorry if that seems to offend your version of the so-called "Rights"act on this forum that you yourself like to transgress so often.

no, everything i responded to was a statement, not a question. you don't need my authority, but you need the authority of the GH admins and probably the consensus of the community before declaring anything to be 'penultimate' (look that word up by the way, pens don't make anything more ultimate, they make em less ultimate).

No worries.  I got so excited about a "Possible" Geekhack Key-set that my intentions could of possibly been misconstrued.  Of course Geekhack is the ULTIMATE place to be hence the appropriate title should be chosen, by the users here on this forum.  I just wanted to mention that this "Possible Future Key-set" needed to be offered for everyone here but also for non members out in the communities far and wide.

(PS.  I only applied the "Penultimate" as an innocent expression describing Geekhack's turbulent history within the last few months - Rootworm/RIPster expulsion and nothing more, my fault).

Since you already mentioned QWERkeys don't they do an ANSI 51 Pack1 + Function Pack for sale?

Maybe Sleabo should be asked if he is willing to do a set for us.  Just thought of spreading the "merriment" around to other manufacturers besides only relying on SP do everything.

Plus QWERkeys are able to do 3 and 4 Colour versions......worth considering at least.  THIS is not my Recommendation and/or Rule stating that we ONLY deal with QWERkeys..... it's just a personal suggestion, nothing more.

He did say he offers a Custom Service for his key-caps and plus if he gets the go ahead to produce the keys then someone experienced can guide him through the design process, which I think SHERRYTON is amply qualified in doing.
