This was discussed a bit in the Breaking Bad key buy, but I thought I would throw it out for discussion.
Here is a starting point purely for discussion:

Not a bad idea there... but is there any way we can have letters printed on the crystal keys? Or at least have them engraved or something... I still need letters on my keys to type lol...

I am pretty sure that translucent blue can only be done as blanks, but I will check.
We could invert that and make the mods blanks....

Make an inverted and a normal set. Of course, the Br/Ba keys can't be inverted, but everything else can be...
Oh, and I'll admit, when it comes to my overall typing skills, I am DEFINITELY an amateur lol... can't type properly to save my life.
-
See OP - Not sure I like it yet...but its a starting point...
-
Confirmed...Crystals can not have legends
-
Damn... oh well, I'd be in for an inverted set then if these were to be made. Oh, and maybe make the numbers green doubleshots on the inverted? Again, amateur typist needs to see what he's typing here lol
-

Only way to have it!
Blaaaank!

I would say do as many of the keys as you can as elements, then fill with meth keys.
And what I mean by that is use the letter as a start for what element goes in it's place, eg - G= Ge (germanium)/E=Es (Einsteinium)
-

Or could do the numbers as B series from QWERkeys, do something like green/white/green or try to integrate a similar to meth blue somehow. Could do it for the f row, too. This may make things more complicated than they need to be, though.
If we do want to do something like this, I'm kinda organizing a GB for B series num rows and I know that NIQMODS is doing the same for F Row...
-
More better...

-
Make the Walter White Esc the same color green as all the other keys, but make it a dyesub. Then this would be perfect.
-
Cant dyesub on a dark key.
-
Damn... well then, what you have will work just fine.
-
Would love to hear some other opinions..
-
pretty good idea here i3oiler
I think we'll have a better idea of the best layout when we get the sets from the last group buy (you shipped mine today :D)

^ this would definitely rocks but wouldn't it be too expensive because of double shot legend fees?
edit: and sorry for my lack of vocabulary, I tried to find another word for idea but couldn't come up with anything good enough, should have listen to my english teacher instead of trying to see through her shirt!
-
Personally, I'd want a full blank crystal set to replace my Das' blank keys :p
-
Ordered enough meth caps already for an alpha set hah.
Would be in for say, a modifier set or something. Dat green!

Yea super expensive... Perhaps we could throw in a few random ones...or maybe do the Ge Ha or Ge H keys
-
I'd be down with something like that, too.
-
:( :( :( just ordered a lot of 1X1KEYS
didnt know there are function keys as well i want a whole 104 set of crystal
-
I always thought a periodic table set would be awesome, but yes quite cost prohibitive with the set up fee for every key for doubleshots.
You know what I would actually buy a full set of the crystal if it could be done on DSA instead. Time for something different.
-
I would be in for an alpha set of the meth caps, plus the space bar. Maybe the top two rows also. I'd pass on the green keys though, besides the Br and Ba I'm not interested in them.
-
so nobody is going to comment on the BA
BR?
bad breaking o.O
-
Interested, I request translucent blue tsangan kit if possible.
-
Definetely interested if the meth caps WITH normal imprints.
I would really appreciate it
-

-
SP has always refused to use transparent / translucent as the legend. It has been asked many times in the past and they just won't for some reason. The way they have all the lines visible on the backside of the cap would show through, which is one of the reasons not to do it from buyer perspective, it could look pretty bad.
-
.
-
I strongly doubt it, and besides it would look even more obvious the lines from the doubleshot process visible through the top.
-
The transparent and solid plastics are different plastics and have different shrinkage and all that... So they won't be doing DS in either direction.
-
It's not abs? I thought it was, so I guess maybe its polycarbonate or something then?
-
The clear is definitely polycarb, the new stuff I don't know since they haven't published anything yet.
-

-
I'd really like to have the ability to get Green mods but a meth numrow and then also green arrow keys. What are your thoughts boiler?
Cheers,
-
I think there are a lot of combinations, but not a ton of interest in a full set... :(
-
Couple of things I was thinking:
1. Crystals can be engraved, yeah? Or does SP not do that?
2. How about a full set of Crystals (all keycaps Crystal) option?
3. Full green and white set
-
As a guy who loves his breaking bad I strongly endorse this, would get a new board just for it. Looks awesome!
-
So if you buy both you can choose your own?
We would have to order a ton for that to get economical.
-
Should I replace all the alphas on my YotD with crystal keys? Ugh, can't decide.
-
so nobody is going to comment on the BA
BR?

This^ Sticks out like a sore thumb.
-
haha Ba Br ... ... ... ?
So... they can do the transparent blue consistently now?
-
It would be amazing in PBT. Also: How about a Heisenberg key?

Check Post #10 - I think that's my favorite, but I don't hear enough interest here...
-
It was a good idea to run as a group buy when buying all the caps from the start which would have made everything ridiculously cheap except for maybe the white on green double shots. I've purchased almost enough keys for everything 1x size so maybe a modifier set instead of a full set would get more interest. I would personally buy crystal tab, caps lock, ctrl, etc keys in the appropriate sizes.
-
I bought enough meth caps for a set from the first GB so the only thing I'd really want are 2 meth keys with bumps for F and J. Right now I'm using keyboard bumps and while they are really cool the ruin the look of the meth caps.
-
More better...
(Attachment Link)
Definitely, I'll buy a couple of these. But if you want to go full on PBT then I'll get those as well.
The TV series Breaking Bad has an extreme cult-like following everywhere on this planet hence this key-set will equally get noticed as well. Just make a decision soon before the TV execs (idiots) decide to kill it off and replace it with another useless so-called "family comedy" crap show, which is cropping up everywhere now.

i have bought heaps of 1x1 crystal for my 104.
if this is goning to happen, i want the rest of them. :D
-
I would buy a full 108 crystal set.
-
I would buy a full 108 crystal set.
I'm with you there.
-
I would be in for this if you added 1.5x and 1x mods with a 7x spacebar (tsangan kit)
-
Id like to get one or two full crystal sets as well... TKL sets tho.
Btw, is it possible to get this crystal keys in different colors (red or green)?
-
I am interested in buying one of these sets :]

They're on sale now: http://www.techkeys.us/custom-keys.php
EDIT: MY BAD!
-
I believe he meant full set like this thread was discussing.
-
I don't know if I would buy a whole set, but the modifiers are AWESOME.

Oh yeah, wasn't thinking in my post-New Years buzz! My bad!
-
I feel like an esc key with white crystal rocks on it would be cool. The green and blue is an odd combo though. I think a black/blue would be cool. maybe a blue grey with the iconic Br Ba in green still.
-
I think a full 87/104 crystal set with a just the BR and BA green caps will do the trick for most of us!

YES!
That would be amazing. Especially with LED keyboards =D
-
Are the crystal caps translucent ?? haha yeah cobraj it would be ****ing awesome.
-
Semi-translucent - yes. They do show backlighting, blue is best, followed by white.
-
looks cool specially for backlit kboards.
-
That sounds epic.

I just saw Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk) at Chipotle today. Living in LA is fun. :D

Indeed!
We almost walked in to each other, he gestured for me to go first, but I insisted that he did. As he was walking by I realized who he was. And then I stared a little bit as I got some napkins and a fork before leaving. He was sitting with another comedian whose name I can't remember.

Wow that's awesome! I live about 20 or so miles from LA, should go more often.
On a similar note I once saw Bill Cosby at the San Diego Zoo with his family, lol.

Some time last year I watched The Princess Diaries with my girlfriend, and later the same day we decided to go to the grocery store, where we saw Larry Miller (the actor that plays the stylist that does her makeover and leaks info to the press). Not a big actor (and kind of a ****), but it was funny due to how recently we had watched such an old movie that had him in it!

Haha nice! Wish I had more stories to share on this subject,
but unfortunately I haven't been that lucky meeting famous people xD
-
I normally don't bother them if I see them since I figure they want to be left alone, but my gf normally goes up to them to say hi. We have found that the bigger name celebs are extremely nice while the minor role celebs are all ****s. I think the big celebs are more used to people recognizing them while the minor ones only get it frequently enough for it to be irritating.

Understandable, yeah when I saw Cosby, I just left him and his family alone, hoping not to bother him, as I'm sure he would get a lot of autograph requests that day xD
-
secretly hoping that this set doesn't happen before the season finale so I can save some money.

No way. Boiler - when is this ever going to go to SP?
Would love to have a couple of key-sets like this. This one is the ONLY one offering a combination of translucent caps with greens, very nice combo.
Although I would pay extra for engraved translucent's......if that's at all possible?
