Do orange on charcoal!I knew that was going to come up :)) We'll see... yellow is so much nicer than orange though :D
a whole set or just modifiers?Are the modifiers that have that MOQ for the combination size-base color.
Well they made for me this set (don't ask please):so are any of those keys larger than 1x? that's really the impetus for doing a whole set is to get those. if we don't do a GB for them it might take even longer for QWER to be able to do mods. Not saying we need to be a bridge loan for them but they're community members and I would much rather my money go to them than SP for a variety of reasons...
65 keys J Series engraved and infilled: 22 Sky blue with black legends + 22 Sky blue with blue legends + 9 Sky blue with red legends + 8 Blue with red legends + 4 Blue with yellow legends
All of them was 1x1.Yeah I gotcha, that is understandable... but keep in mind you're one of the lucky ones with a nearly-whole set :D
If an 86 caps GB can help QWER to do mods i'm in for sure, i just prefer, if it is possible, also, beside it, an alternate color modifiers sub-set, like in the RA or Valentine gb.
IDK do the RGB to show interest in his product and maybe he'll front the money for the enter, caps..... molds or use the money from the RGB and buy those molds for the rest of the mods? IDK I'm just thrown out ideas so that we can get stuff done ^__^The J series is a replica of the cherry profile.
Does he have a series that is close to cherry profile. I got the lambda key today, and they are super thick for ABS and really nice, but the profile is closer to OEM :(
$121 for a base 86 key set? Kindof expensive, what kind of keys are they?
$121 for a base 86 key set? Kindof expensive, what kind of keys are they?Yeah... it's definitely not cheap but it would be supporting a small business with roots in the community, which is valuable to me. Hopefully to others as well. Plus it would encourage them to branch out into new materials and things. They are laser engraved + infilled ABS, I know, not the best, but I think they look way better than most SP stuff.
How about a set in transparency? http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=33316.0
so basically $122 US dollars for an 87 set that includes mods (but no space bar)?Yes. Though at this point we're discussing just a modifier set which should be considerably cheaper.
I'd be in though the colors do not interest me. Sound silly but a grey on black would be my preference.
I'm not sure about their modifier tripleshot capability. It might be more prudent to have solid mods for cost and appeal reasons, but maybe I'm just the only one that's not that into the novelty of triple shot molding :)
you're thinking of Round3 not dolch. Similar colors, different legends. Dolch is basically just cherry white on dark grey.

I think a full set of charcoal/orange would look great, with the mods charcoal and orange print, everything else orange with charcoal print.
However to make things easier, I think a straight white on orange mod set would be one of the easier things to do, as white keys and spacebars are already easily accessible, with the forward slash and tilde keys orange as well.Show Image(http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll41/Dark-Shot666/orangeonwhitegreyprint.png)

would be better with black legends
Hey.. I really like this set.. if the legends on the white keys were also orange. ;x Makes me want tangerines.
would be better with black legends
PURPLE
but halloween is awesome? girls can dress slutty and we all win!would be better with black legends
too halloweeny! orange is a little ostentatious for my taste but really, this group buy is to get the molds ready so we can do more in the future... just don't see orange and white being popular enough for 100. it's possible though!
you stay classy LA

Purple'n'orange?Only if you're a Lakers fan. Otherwise, that's not a great color combo IMO
I do like the idea of a complete GH classic colorscheme charcoal, orange and white set.
Actually, I was thinking more like all dark grey keys with orange legends on the alpha numerics and white on the modifiers...
Nope, not me because I won't buy SP keycaps, save for maybe R1 if its a really awesome novelty key (it's happened once). I would rather have infill than a horrible profile I can't stand to touch. Besides Arial rounded is so close to Cherry on all but a few charachters it's good enough. I am certain I have suggested this colorway before at some point. People usually don't like what I suggest enough to make it happen so it probably dosen't even matter really.well i sure don't but now it seems like everybody else does now that the colors are associated with the 'D' word :)) it's really not that bad I'm just not a big fan of orange, especially combined with grey/black.
the white legends on orange bother me. could you also make it charcoal or w/e grey it is you're using for the alphanumerics?I do like the idea of a complete GH classic colorscheme charcoal, orange and white set.
Something akin to this?
I tried out playing with charcoal legends on the orange keys, but they look less than desirable.Show Image(http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll41/Dark-Shot666/GHcolours.png)
i know, but LOOK at these. LOOK!Show Image(http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0157/7886/products/gamer3_1024x1024.jpg?486)

I have talked with sleabo a few times about various potential buys, and unless I am mistaken the 100 MOQ on modifiers needed the same base color, but could split up the infill colors to whatever since it is a secondary process. If that's the case I think it would be easier to settle on something neutral like dark grey and people can do white, orange, pink or whatever they may prefer for thier legend infill.
I was actually thinking of trying a buy with them soon for a few various small sets like CMYK mods (C M and Y on black keys, and set with reveresed caps lock and control positions on beige. But the high prices due to them being UK based and high MOQ for the keys I have been pretty hesitant.

Swap this round. Orange text on charcoal modifiers.
Want a set including a 1.75 right shift and 1.25 bottom row keys for pure. Would look great with the orange backlighting.
this has nothing to do with SP
can you explain what you were talking about when you referenced SP? it's an entirely different company with entirely different manufacturing processes and it's too damn early for me to think of any jokes.this has nothing to do with SPShow Image(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/09/24/u5atery4.jpg)
The MOQ is just about making enough to bother to setup the machine and make a run of keys. Devlin already had the molds for probably at least 20 years or something.

This color scheme is gorgeous! I always like that orange color from round 3 WASD kit.
first of all i dont know what the deal is with this light-mods/dark-inputs blasphemy. you might as well dig out the keyboard that came with your parents' HP that still has all the stickers on it with taste that bad :))This color scheme is gorgeous! I always like that orange color from round 3 WASD kit.
I don't get the hate that's shown for Orange and Charcoal......why?
It's unique, no other recent key-set has been made using these colours (correct me if I'm wrong here), and it would add to the multitudes of great Key-set pieces that have already been made thus far.
I only hope Sleabo accepts this and starts making it soon for this Group buy.
B series come in 1, 1.25, 1.5 and 1.75 only
Just to clear up a few things.
I will accept that if you don't reach 100 MOQ's for modifiers we can still go ahead with is because I will be able to sell any spares in the long run.
We can't do space bars (500 moq) but we can do everything else in Jseries.
The MOQ's are there for mod because its not cost effective to just make 10 Mods

HiiHey all right! Good to hear :)
Yes we do have charcoal - I may have some samples tomorrow to post.
I am thinking about doing a new Charcoal version of the very popular half life keycap
thanks
Also GHers - DT is trying to do a similar by so I'm attempting to get in touch with the organizers to see if we can team up. More keys for everyone!!
Maybe looking at a minimum of 50 for me to go ahead with this
So are we just going for a small modifiers kit now instead of full set?this all sounds great to me. as far as legends-- i think most people are going to vote for orange but I would prefer yellow or light blue. are we going to consider 1.5x modifiers? also, sleabo if you're watching this thread, can you tell me if you can do stepped and/or off-center-stemmed caps locks?
I'm down with that as long as it is: tab, caps, shifts, ctrls, alts, wins, menu, enter, backspace. If it's both ANSI and ISO in one set I am fine with that too.
I would like charcoal base, but may still be interested if there is another base color chosen.
Charcoal and orange would look great, but seems to be overdone a lot. Yellow on charcoal would look pretty great I think.I could live with that... 8)

Sleabo can we choose a base color at a group and then a legend color on our own since you'll be engraving these and not double shooting them?I like this idea

I think the MOQ is bounded to base color not to legends color
That's what I'm thinking. A dark gray set (w/ different color mods/alpha) with a pick of legend color would be damn cool
Hi
yes I don't see a problem with different colours legend.
Might be looking at £75 a set, will have to confirm this, space bars excluded

HiIs this pricing for an 86 set still? What about for keys using just the sizes you don't already have in inventory (ctrl alt win menu shift caps tab enter backslash backspace)?

Yeah I love that color scheme also. Maybe there should be an interest check to have that set done as SP double shots.
I kinda would like to see a whole b series set but thats another thread...anyone know who i would have to talk to about this?

So that probably won't happen for a long time.
I have been talking to qwerkeys about the b series recently and they also only come in 1 profile
Not sure yet. Might talk with the Massdrop dudes to handle logistics and billing.
Will try to spend some time to hammer down a couple final options based on what is popular through this thread and then maybe have a poll?

Use google forms, it's the best thing ever (if you set it up right, lol)
The new colours...my wallet will cry when I see them. I can see it now....green on green on green caps. ;)
As long as it is not a for profit group buy I am fine with it :) not that there is a lot of room for a profit margin.

Just thought I'd register my interest here; Blank by preference if it needs legends then something muted and understated, I'm very interested in a complete charcoal grey modifier set as long as it has a short right shift (yes pure owner...) and centre stem CAPS, I'd still have a full 86 key set just to get the modifiers - though I may well play about with the rest of the caps anyway, and I'm not in the slightest bit interested in a RGB set.
I'd be in though the colors do not interest me. Sound silly but a grey on black would be my preference.
