I really like the wallet idea, maybe something like that? Like a little wad of cash or something.
I thought the black on red and white on red Cherry sets were really cool. How about a matching orange on grey enter and esc key to match the previous GH pack?
I always wanted a GEEK HACKED or ROOT WORM key, but I guess that ship has sailed at this point.
I like the wallet idea though. We should do a standard white-on-red WALLET HACK key in the style of classic GEEK HACK keys.
i'm just saying, someday you will break down and get this one made....

Someone start making mockups of a wallethack design!

If no one beats me to it, I'll try when I get home from work. I'll also throw together my cash idea cause I feel like it.
you're going to have to do the chalkboard paint yourself; i'm 90% sure SP can't do this.
DSA is definitely doable. Alps not so much (the vast majority of users here are on cherry MX).
What about something in the likes of a IMSTO GH spacebar!!!
With a design on it for sure!
Could be a white (or grey?) spacebar with the geekhack keys like on the top of the forum on it :eek:
I think it'd be cool to have a G and an H from the Nostalgia theme. The font is awesome.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/tXMPSXa.png)
Ok, to stay within the 'WalletHack' idea -- use a currency, or treasury style font, doubleshot dark gray on a dark green (currency green) keycap.

That's radiant antique font, found here: http://www.fontspace.com/douglas-day/radiantantique

Again, not really sure just how much detail is allowable in a double-shot, I'm sure there must be some upper limit. I could see the individual letters, and some modifers with the fully-written 'GeekHack' using these sorts of fonts. They are all caps, however. Maybe do them in a DSA-style to make them even more retro. I imagine the individual letters being fairly large in order to show the detail.
I also found this: http://abduzeedo.com/money-style-illustration-photoshop - so we can apply that wavy illustration effect across any suitable font. Call them Krog's Kapitalistic Kaps. :D
EDIT: No, no... call them... 'Krog's Moneyshots' :cool:

Make a spacebar and use the whole image :D

Pad printed ABS right? Your favourite kind of stuff! :-*

We should have an Alt key that says "Save" and a F4 key that says "Yourself".
GeekHack Moneyshots! Double-shot keycaps, with a capitalistic vibe.
Since the spacebar (IMSTO dyesub) is not option (I am sad), I have another idea:we've bounced this idea around before, and the only reason i haven't done it yet is that it's a bit expensive. totally possible though, come up with a design and we can iterate on it until it's sufficiently butt kicking to drop the grand or so it will cost :)
To have GEEK HACK made for the F row, 1 letter per keycap, like having F1-F4 to be GEEK and F5-F8 to be HACK (or wherever you want em).
Same could be done with number row, where we could do geek hack, or wallet hack (1 to 0).
Love the mockups, but DoubleShots can not have that type of fine line detail.
Love the mockups, but DoubleShots can not have that type of fine line detail.Curious. Is it truly that it can't be done or that it would require too much detail and time, and thus not be worth it?

Does he have a money green color PBT cap?afaik he only has blue, dark grey and beige caps.
Does he have a money green color PBT cap?
I would buy a set of keys like modifiers or function row that and LED shows through the side of and not the top. Similar to the Vegas Dice set/Feb GH key but with different colours and not so sparkly.the short answer is no. the only material that can be dye sublimated is PBT, and the clear material we used on the feb keys was polycarbonate (the only plastic SP works with whose base stock is clear).
Is side printing an option? Could have a function row with GEEKHACK printed on the side of F1-F8 or F3-F10, that would look sweet with and LED shining through the side behind the lettering.
Hmm... well them I guess that leaves SP's PBT caps. They should have one, right?yep. they can't dyesub green on green though. you should be able to get nice contrast with black on green, but the dye is really going to need to be a lot darker than the cap to get nice contrast with SP's dyesub process.
So glad this is taking off! Thank you mkawa. :-*no kisses, please. i only kiss babies and madonna.
There's a minimum width required by 2 things, first and easiest to account for is the tooling size. The cutter that makes the legends has a minimum diameter. The 2nd requirement is a little more difficult to account for. You need to remember that the legend is the first shot, and that the 2nd shot is HOT liquid plastic. Features on the legend that are too thin will just become a discoloration of the 2nd shot.

Hum, then we could go for money green on beige imsto dyesub?
I like Krogs mockup:

Thanks, I'll put together a black on Green layout.
The more I look at it, the more I can see that the thin inner lines aren't the only issue. The serifs on the letter itself fall into the same category, just too thin. The connector on the 'H' would also probably be way too thin.
I'm happy to help mock-up any plausible ideas since I understand the line thickness limitations.
re: 2-shotting very thin lines or inadequate separation. it will almost certainly just look bad, and it will be impossible to do QA. don't bother. think about what's happening. the first shot is formed by injection molding with a grid pattern behind it. then, a second shot of plastic is formed around the first shot. the grid pattern draws the second shot plastic through the first shot. however, both pieces of material are basically molten at this point, and very likely the only thing that keeps the legend formed is the engineering constraints of the legend design. hence, breaking these constraints will cause the legend to melt into the second shot. this will only cause the "clean" bit of discoloration you are imagining if the mixing forces are isometric and normal. if they're not, they could end up mixing in highly unpredictable ways and you'll just get weird ugly tie-dye keys.That makes a lot of sense. Thanks, kawa.
