Title: [IC]BSP Dyesubs Full sets++
Post by: rodtang on Mon, 11 March 2013, 12:28:50: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1VMf2Tu0CHu0yKffyVc17OWjSPhN0ee64VLni5BCBtJw/viewform

There are no prices on this interest check, there will be one later with prices after this one is over and we've gotten a quote the results from this IC.

Feel free to ask any questions you might have.

Post by: esoomenona on Mon, 11 March 2013, 13:41:34: Would this be like the IC being held here (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=40972.0)?
Title: Re: [IC]BSP Dyesubs Full sets++
Post by: rodtang on Mon, 11 March 2013, 13:56:31: Well, that one is also ANSI without spacebar and RGB, this is that plus spacebar, ISO enter, winkey, language specific keys and bunch of other stuff (just take a look in the poll).
You will be able to use this set on just about any modern MX keyboard.

Also, the colour is not 100% certain.

I would say they're two different IC's using the same company. As far as I know there was no successful attempt at merging the group buy.

Post by: esoomenona on Mon, 11 March 2013, 14:02:46: Indeed, indeed. Interest is now piqued more so than that one I posted. Is the spacebar PBT as well?

They will be PBT, we are currently discussing them and the goal is to have both 6.25 and 7unit moulded after cherry where the 6.25 one will have universal mounts.

There wasn't really any attempt.

This started at DT.

I'll see what I can do.

Pretty sure UK is ISO.

US is US ANSI
Title: Re: [IC]BSP Dyesubs Full sets++
Post by: rodtang on Mon, 11 March 2013, 15:39:42: The base set it US ANSI, if you're only interested in US ANSI you don't need to fill in any other language/layout.

Did you just made this up?? Since when BSP can do ISO enter, winkey and left Shift? Are you going to buy all those molds? PBT spacebar? U serious?

Anyway, I wish you luck with it... and if you can make it possible I'll be in for 2! :cool:

They can make everything you just listed but the ISO and the spacebars and one major reason for the IC (and later hopefully GB) is to make those (and probably some other caps like 1.75x shift and center stem caps lock) a reality.

Everyone found the companies at the same time, don't think they're trying to harm the community, only that they had all started their own efforts at the same time. They just need to consolidate ideas, so hopefully language barriers aren't too bad. Just my .02 though.

Got a quote on moulds for 1.75x right shift, ISO enter, center stem caps lock and 6.25 universal spacebar.
140 000 DKK, that is just under 18800 euros, looks like we'll need a lot of ****ing orders to make the prices not suck...

shift, capslock and spacebar hasnt anything (specific) to do with ISO.
Title: Re: [IC]BSP Dyesubs Full sets++
Post by: SmallFry on Wed, 13 March 2013, 10:03:31: I agree, despite not using ISO, that we should include it. Maybe I'll build an ISO board just for grins some day.

True, I missread that 1.75x "right shift". I guess he means G80-1800 right shift and not ISO.

Title: Re: [IC]BSP Dyesubs Full sets++
Post by: rodtang on Fri, 22 March 2013, 10:32:28: So far it looks like it would be best to only do modifiers in gray as so far over twice as many people are interested in those opposed to the white ones.
It also looks like there will be no French, Portuguese or NEO as there is no interest.

There also seems to be equal interest in all the ones needing moulds made which means there will have to be more interest for this to be possible at any reasonable price.

Is it the image, the camera or the actual printing that looks so bad?

Any chance of an unresized image?

The bad compression on the first pic is what makes the printing look bad, just look at the second pic.

The second pic is the only pic I have, there are some more in the first page of this thread over at deskthority: http://deskthority.net/keyboards-f2/bsp-europe-a-mx-keycap-maker-t5088.html

Post by: Photekq on Sat, 06 April 2013, 16:22:09: I don't know whether BSP offer it since they don't have a spec sheet like GMK do, but I would love to see the option to have the caps and scroll lock keys as windowed keys. Would be good for those people who have LEDs underneath their lock keys.
Title: Re: [IC]BSP Dyesubs Full sets++
