as long as the base green on grey comes with the tsangan set i am in for one set! if you are running it you should talk to 7bit about using some of his legends!tempting. is there any interest in making one big set out of everything + one green addon set? would make all parts cheaper and prevent tsangan kit melt-down down the road.That is what I was thinking.

I'm down if we have a tsangsan kit for the set.
Me thinks cherry
Several times recently November/December has been stated for final test keys so if that isn't the case then the font for the community, by the community, needs more insight.Me thinks cherry
I would speak to hasbaz. I doubt cherry legends will be possible for a long, long time.
What about 7bit round3 legends?
What about 7bit round3 legends?
YES!
Or is the R3 legends also that weird giant font on the quasi dolch set from R3?
The R3 legends are the awesome large legends :DI'm not really a fan of those, I really want this to be with Cherry font so I'm trying to get a realistic idea when they will be ready for use, and potentially try to be a stick to poke for collection of the funds. Just look how quickly Sanctuary set was created? I'm kind of dumbfounded what is taking Cherry legends so long. I don't think we should be holding up US legends if alternate characters from other languages are holding it up. Cater to the majority of the community. Heck use this Toxic set for refining the legends if need be. I'll help with donating and test key fees if need be.
The Cherry legends won't be happening for months, they haven't even started rechecking the donations let alone collecting cash so we will be in for a long wait.Right I don't want to send the order to SP until February or March. 4-5 months from now roughly. Does someone with more time available like myself need to drum this up and get the collection going? If it is a donation basis then what does it matter if the donation is now or slightly later? I'd just get it done.
The Cherry legends won't be happening for months, they haven't even started rechecking the donations let alone collecting cash so we will be in for a long wait.
Sorry for the silly question, but having seen it mentioned a few times - what is this about collecting money for Cherry legends? Is there some sort of fee that has to be paid to use them?At one point each key was made available for people to "adopt" and essentially donate the $45 new legend fee. All legends were spoken for pretty quickly if I remember correctly but then the money was never collected.
Ah, I see, thank you.
But, given the apparent popularity of these (the number of griup buys where someone asks "Will these have Cherry legends?"), wouldn't it pay SP to make the molds themselves, then sell the keycaps at a slightly higher price? If they are that popular they would sell, and continue to sell, and SP would recoup their initial investment?
I'm in for a set if that green num row comes standard with option for tsangan's kit since I'm only using keyboards with 1.5x mods these days. lol
color me interested.After this toxic set I think a light blue color like signature plastics BBQ might also look good on dark or light charcoal. I personally like darker sets now, they seem more functional long term because you can not really notice as much when they get dirty. Also amber is pretty close to orange, and the OCKC set will be orange on light charcoal supposedly. Been waiting weeks for the group buy to get started *shrug*
I'd also like to see other colors on charcoal like this.
Amber, Blue, and Green.
EDIT: I am not really feeling that toxic color...
Any thoughts on Amber or Blue? It seems like we have plenty of good options with those colors.
you mean a broment?
I think we should start an IC for VAG on VAG.
IC VAG? is that like when you put bengay on your--
So if B* is blue, and Y* is yellow and R* is red... wtf is V?!!??Verde
Black and brown being some odd code is cool... W* is white... gaaaaah!

Both will be available in both colors because a modifier set will be available. I will also have extra space bars available, maybe even in VAT.
Well you wouldn't want a "|\" in GX on VAT unless you had the green modifier set, and it will come with the green modifier set. The base set will come with the color stripe accent similar to how Sanctuary does, the modifier set will be separate.
In a week or two we will have all the mock-ups complete and start the group buy and it will all be more clear.
the thing is I'm not thinking about taking the complete set, I'm just interested in the modifier set :DWell check out the SP modifier set (http://keycapsdirect.com/pdfs/ModifierSet.pdf) and I think you will be covered.
ok so I'm in for a mod set and the number row! :DThe number row may only be part of the base set, but if there is enough interest I can probably have it as an a-la-cart option too.
it's gonna be awesome! :D
I did some possible modifiers on my spare time today,
it would "sign" the set and add a bit of toxicity!Show Image(https://dl.dropbox.com/u/63153503/modifiers-02.png)

Can the green not be more toxic? Looks pretty soft at the moment.
How much more expensive though? An extra 10 USD would be well worth it!
Was meth different because they were translucent?
I imagine a slight variation in thickness of a key cap would be more obvious with translucent caps than solid colours.
Tweaking colors here in house becomes problematic as it is difficult to get repeatability. The breaking bad color was relatively simple as we took an existing color and 'diluted it' so to speak as it was intended to be translucent. Creating a new shade is not something we really like to mess with in house. We do work with a variety of material suppliers that can create custom color matches for free - the kicker is we need to buy a minimum amount of material ($600). To do a match, they either need a physical sample of the color or a pantone number.
The detail on 2 of those keys may be a bit problematic, but in order to be sure I would need to see the SVG file for each.
Hope this helps!
Sounds good :)Well it looks like with large enough orders we may be able to get our own custom colors made so in the future possibly a nicer yellow, the lime green, and maybe even a real purple.
I have nothing Topre, and Topre seems to have all the good colours (including the yellow sigh).
I can give you a spare of the green topre keycap to help with color matching if you want.As long as you are alright with never seeing it again, because I have a feeling you may not be able to get it back. I will see if we need to send it to Melissa, or directly to the material supplier.
Yeah, I'm fine with that. I have a few spare modifiers of the lime green caps...so it doesn't matter to me if i never get the caps back.I can give you a spare of the green topre keycap to help with color matching if you want.As long as you are alright with never seeing it again, because I have a feeling you may not be able to get it back.

I doubt $600 worth of purple will be needed to make these, unfortunately.It wouldn't be a direct match but you could dyesub purple onto it since its darker than lime green. Not sure how the color would need to be adjusted since its being printed on lime vs white though. Just a possibility, I agree it sucks we don't have any purples to work with.
I think to save a $45 legend fee we should pick one of these two flasks or create a new one. On the 1.25 set the flask we choose will be the two windows keys, and the bubbles will be the menu key. I guess we can add a regular menu key to the extra keys section which will already contain two regular windows keys.Show Image(https://dl.dropbox.com/u/63153503/modifiers-02.png)
Also I'm curious is this the kind of toxic green that people would like to see? Because I think the topre "lime" is pretty close, but we could always just figure out an appropriate pantone number.Show Image(http://lambdageneration.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/Bm_mr_08.jpg)

This! Definitely! Toxic green, plus lambda and BM logos :) In toxic green. Like this.
Also a few people don't really seem to like green, toxic in particular, so would MOQ 100 be attainable?Why do we need MOQ of 100? These will be SP double shots. Full sets from QWERKeys are crazy expensive.
And, how about 1 * HL lambda plus 1 * HL2 lambda? If you were thinkinf of Win keys or something.
Why do we need MOQ of 100? These will be SP double shots. Full sets from QWERKeys are crazy expensive.
If we sell 100 base sets but 300 of the custom keys the legend fees almost become negligible.

How about some Combine logos or City 17 logos in addition to the Lambda and BM?No good SVGs will be ignored.
I'm no big fan of the toxic set being specific to Half life, I don't mind some HL modifiers but I guess not 4 of them
Those are nice logos but they just don't ring a bell to me, people who don't know the game might be in the same situation (I'll draw whatever the majority wants though)
Also I won't be able to produce anymore mock-ups next week, I'll try my best to come up with a complete description (like what was so well done for the Sanctuary set) before the end of the week, already working on it with Daniel
And last but not least if we are to go for a custom color we need to decide the color code (CMYK would be the best, but RGB is good too) and this is were it gets hard because we won't all see the same color due to monitor calibration...
stay tuned! ^^
btw, I just realized that green gas mask will rock on this set (even though I would personally prefer a toxic CCs!)Yea I really go the idea from a bunch of stuff that has come from the community.
Topre green would be great, it needs to be vivid. There are too many flat colours in key sets!
This really won't be a problem. If we sell 75-100 base sets I think we would use up the the minimum $600. Don't be confused about that $600, that is not a fee to get a new color, that is just what SP pays for any color, even colors they already have to get the materials for use. While we wait for the cherry font to be ready I will probably do a 4 or 5 key Half-life pack in the new color, and front the $600 to get the new color sooner rather than later.Topre green would be great, it needs to be vivid. There are too many flat colours in key sets!
I don't see how this is possible unless we want to soak up the $600 for a new color.
Cheers,
Is the Topre "lime green" the same as AKIMbO has on his RealForce? It looks more washed out ...Yes I'm pretty sure there is only one green color in topre switches.
Will there be a option for a "reverse" set (charcoal on green as base with green on charcoal modifiers)?
Will there be a option for a "reverse" set (charcoal on green as base with green on charcoal modifiers)?
+1
Will there be a option for a "reverse" set (charcoal on green as base with green on charcoal modifiers)?Actually the base set is supposed to be all charcoal modifiers, and the bright green modifiers will be separate.
Please include the option to get only the spacebarI convinced them to have extra spacebars for the valentines set, so of course I'll have them :D
I like the idea of including the stripe and the mods together with the base set just like the Diablo set :)
Makes it simple for you to reach your MOQ and easier for us to order too :)

Also make sure to add a tsangan kit to that mockup :PThat's what I said!
how about make all toxic mods a kit, the base kit should be all charcoal and an addition toxic number row, like the current Sat Kit.
Should a poll of some sort be taken?
I vote charcoal mods and toxic stripe as the base set :cool:

Can we include or have an option for little 1x 0 and little 1x+ for the NumPad?Yes I think we could add that in so it is compatible with more boards. It is only what 3 more keys? Can you post a picture of what you want?
And also maybe an ISO option, for our European friends.There will be an iso pack also, I believe everything I want to be in the pack is in the first post
I'm interested, if this goes through sooner than the orange and charcoal.OCKC has been MIA so not sure what is going on there but we will take orders for the toxic set for 3-4 months like the Sanctuary set to get the numbers up and hopefully cherry font will be ready by then.

That beaker key has too much detail for a doubleshot...will need to be replaced or simplified.
still need the 1800 short right shift in the tsangan kit.

^ Ok, I see what you meanExcept we don't have to go with stars and diamonds. Maybe we should vote on the 1x keys, but I like those two that you have there, plus at least one 1x Windows symbol.
I have no problem doing this if Daniel is fine with it
STARS AND DIAMONDS OR DIE! (I think that the Tsangan kit comes with a Windows key.)
Oh, I thought that the normal Tsangan kit included a Windows key... Like so...Yes, that's exactly what I would want. For the stars and diamonds, we can use two of each of the symbols provided by batmann, but one Windows key and a Fn key would be great as well.

And thanks all for your warm feedbacks, you almost got me wet haha :D
Also for those who like the font it's the DamnedDeluxe, you can find it on dafont.com, probably one of the best I've ever used
i really want both toxic on charcoal GH key and Charcoal on Toxic GH key in the extra kitYep we need to add that one to the extra keys section
I like the "Toxic" idea, and a Toxic set will fit my green Gasmask keycap well. Nice theme, but looking at those modifiers I can not feel the scare of toxic yet, just think of a 'chemical' theme or something like that... maybe just me. Charcoal is fine to me, though I still prefer Black for this set, cause Black and Green is a badass couple.
I would like to have some Biohazard Esc & Modifier keys in Green on Charcoal (Black) & Charcoal (Black) on Green to match with this set. If they couldn't be included in this set, we should have a separate run for them.Show Image(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-AAUFlyaDJmM/UKfah1EaFvI/AAAAAAAACgI/RbdfRB30c7E/s1000/toxic.png)

It's looking really nice. Every iteration of the mock ups are making me want this set even more.
Rather than radioactive, biohazard could make more sense.
Anyway, I wanted to point out that id rather the Fn key not be in the base set. Most keyboards don't have an Fn key, and so it seems one is forced to buy an extra key to fill the Menu position.
Edit: apparently maybe costar TKLs have a Fn key?
I just wonder if it would be better to have a third symbol that could double as Fn and menu..

Yeah its kind of a bummer that it is, I also think that doing two runs of this may be a good idea, lots of people really like the cream cheese and green and sets are going for close to 100$ I think that if it was done in two runs people who are on the fence can make a decision whether or not they like it so that they're not more group buys like the Red Alert 2.0 and look-a-likes because people were unsure of what they were getting. I think that two group buys over a 5-6 month period would be a good idea. This also helps get imperfections out early like the stepped caps mistake in CCnG. This is just my two cents though.If we are able to use the Cherry legends those have been, and continue to be meticulously analyzed for accuracy in pursuit of perfection. If we end up having to use WYSE then those legends are pretty solid and we should not have any issues. Now that the stepped caps have been worked out that shouldn't be an issue. Pretty much the maturity through previous group buys will help ensure this goes without a hitch.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. I don't intend to close the group buy (once it is open) until February or March. Money collection takes place right after the group buy is closed. Orders will be taken for 4-5 months just like the Sanctuary set.

Also the vendor pack may be made available earlier than the main set so those on the fence can order and see what the "TOX" green color will be like in person before making the call on whether or not to jump on the main set. If non double shot vendors want to get on board with the vendor pack this may complicate things.
I'm also curious would people prefer Windows 8 logo for the windows keys, or the older style Windows keys?
I still prefer the look with the toxic modifiers.Well you should be able to buy it, with only one modifier set I'm sure plenty of people will pick it up.
So where do we want the 1.75x shift keys? With the tsangan kit or with the ISO kit? I'm inclined to leave it with the tsangan and remove it from the ISO set, but then fewer iso sets may be purchased.
Batmann worked his butt off to get out the most recent mock ups but they just need a few minor tweaks and I can calculate pricing and start the group buy. I *could* just calculate prices and use the current pictures and have text noting what changes will be made until the images are revised. I believe Batmann is about to go, or just left for a vacation and will not be able to update the mock ups for a bit.
Additionally the "+" key for the number pad might need a toxic colored 1x "+" also but I'm not sure how the keys line up with the main number row so maybe it isn't needed. inlikeflynn can let us know
danielucf,I can start the group buy when ever. It is going to run for a long time and the main goal is to wait for Cherry legends. I'm still waiting for someone to come forward and update the time table, but last time that I can remember someone mentioned November or December cherry legends would be ready. I want this set to be cherry legends. If something crazy happened and it turned into August/September next year they will be ready then we may not wait until then.
does this mean you aren't going to wait a couple of months for cherry legends? I really really want to have the option of something other than classic dolch when those suckers come out!
Cheers,
i need 1.5mod(tsangsan )of toxic green color.. please add the toxic grreen ctrl, alt and shift.It is in the original post that we will sell a tsangan to match the TOX modifiers, Batmann just hasn't made the mock ups for everything yet. Everything that will be sold is also mentioned in the original post. I noted in the thread title that the original post (OP) was updated today and every time it is updated in the future I will update the date until the group buy goes live.
Is there any sort of vague estimate of how much this might cost? Like around $50, or closer to $100?Well the Sanctuary base set was around $58 before shipping and this should be only a bit more keys than that since it will have a full tsangan, although we could probably trim the tsangan keys down, and even ditch the two 1.25x windows keys. The numpad was around $27 in Sanctuary I think. Modifier set should be in the range of $23-27. Tox tsangan by itself probably $13-18 range.
Keep in mind the Sanctuary set had a full set of custom legends, and a lot of orders to keep the base set down. These legend costs are probably what also kept the numpad cost (for example) high since less people generally order that.Yep the flask and bubbles that are shown in the mock ups.
Do you have any plans for some custom legends on some of the modifiers?
Sorry, should of been more specific! I mean't with the tab, caps lock, shift, backspace and stuff. Kind of like what the original korean RA set had. They look smexy!Going for cherry legends, unless people think they want tab, shift, backspace, etc as the 7bit legends with everything else cherry font.
wow, wait for cherry font :)Looks pretty nice with the Cherry legends, we are going to get a new shade of green made just for this set though, Pantone color 381 or 382 I believe (it is somewhere in the thread).

I'm a bit late to the party. I love these colours and would definitely be interested if a UK version were available. I can see myself moving to US layout soon, I'm so jealous of all these awesome caps.Wouldn't the ISO pack make the Toxic set UK compatible?

I ask because I was considering eliminating the toxic color keys from the modifier set that are already included with the base set like "~`", Backspace, Insert, Home, and PgUp. This would make the modifier set cheaper and those are not really keys that people need two of. Pretty much trying to trim down keys that are not needed, and also eliminate potential duplicates.

I will be picking up base + mods so I wouldn't need the duplicate toxic keys.
Do you have any idea how well a backlight would show through the TOX colour?No idea since it will be a brand new color we have no experience with. Probably similar to how yellow keys would be. With TOX as the legend it would show even less.

I think we can be the first GB (tog with klaxon) to do it in the Cherry DS :cool:
Im in for a set looking good and i like the win8 caps

is there going to be a dark num row?
I think so yes, it will be included in the base kitThis is correct, the base set will come with regular number row, and toxic number row.
If anyone has contact information for GMK I can talk with them and see what they can do, or what they are willing to do.
Seems like everything's in limbo until we figure out how viable GMK is.
Why dont you guys just go with SP? They are nice, not even sure if GMK are producing these. I want a keyset that is made in less than 6 months :Dagreed and same.
Cherry font.will they even take any sort of order from us?
With SP it might or might not happen, with GMK they might be able to provide it right away.
Fastest way possible please. xDagreed
Well really even the fastest way possible isn't going to be that fast because I want to leave it open for awhile to hit some big numbers.Fastest way possible please. xDagreed
I've said it a coupe times but the idea is to start the group buy ASAP and let it run until probably sometime in March.

Happy 1000 post dude!
One last idea I wanted to throw out pertaining to when the group buy actually starts: I don't want to make money off the group buy, but Batmann has put in a lot of work making the mock ups, and I will eventually put in a lot of work sorting, packing, and shipping. Would people be upset if I built in the cost of two sets, one for Batmann and myself, as kind of a compensation for our time and effort? I just want to be up front and honest to ask and get everyone's opinions.

Make this a GB already..lolI need a pink or toxic green robogeek :p
Maybe someone could talk to mistakemistake and see if we can get an official toxic cable made for this kid. I think that if we were to order a large amount of cables that he could give us a little discount. This would just help those who want a 100% complete set with a matching cable. Just a thought though.
Judging by the pages of replies to this "interest thread", I would assume that there is more than enough people that are going to swoop these up. Lets get this thing going, I'm eager to get a new set, and if it's not obvious, yes, I'm interested.
Gimme!
His new "Hyper Pistachio" TechKeys paracord cable looks perfect for the job:Show Image(http://i819.photobucket.com/albums/zz112/georgeap2/IMG_0017.jpg)
