Title: [IC] RETRO Double Shot
Post by: OnTheBrink on Mon, 25 March 2013, 11:57:46: Deleted to avoid offending R4. Be back with more info.
Title: Re: [GB] RETRO Double Shot
Post by: MKULTRA on Mon, 25 March 2013, 14:31:54: Idk how many people will be interested in this since many have money tied up in R4, which includes this set.
Title: Re: [GB] RETRO Double Shot
Post by: tjcaustin on Mon, 25 March 2013, 14:38:52: R4 has/had this set as an option. It's not included in every r4 set.

That being said, I was stupid and didn't get it at the time and want it. Sign me up.

GB help:

Get either a google doc up for people to notate what they want or get matt3o to help you get it integrated with his appthing.

Did you just copy paste everything?

Yes I did since pricing will be the same. Also this is an interest thread. The final GB thread will be edited specifically towards the ones that's gain enough traction.
Title: Re: [GB] RETRO Double Shot
Post by: SmallFry on Mon, 25 March 2013, 16:11:21: The pricing may not be the same since R4 was a GIANT group buy. Just letting you know.
Title: Re: [GB] RETRO Double Shot
Post by: esoomenona on Mon, 25 March 2013, 16:21:01: Also, wouldn't you have to get permission from him to use the custom legends?
Title: Re: [GB] RETRO Double Shot
Post by: SmallFry on Mon, 25 March 2013, 16:22:23: Likely, but 7bit is a pretty easy going guy with his legends, last I heard.
Title: Re: [GB] RETRO Double Shot
Post by: metalliqaz on Mon, 25 March 2013, 16:58:11: R4 isn't even done yet, this is way premature, and this is copied straight from the wiki.... Probably ruffle some feathers there.

Title: Re: [GB] RETRO Double Shot
Post by: OnTheBrink on Mon, 25 March 2013, 21:01:20: Well, like I have stated, I am new to this and simply wanted to get the set and was encouraged to start a GB since R4 is not taking any more orders.

I was going to see which one was more popular, but end up trying to start a GB for the icons only legends.

As for offending people, I did not mean to do so and did not know I needed permission for the legends. I will contact him accordingly. If R4 is still taking orders and I missed something, please let me know so I can order a set. Thanks.
Title: Re: [GB] RETRO Double Shot
Post by: tjcaustin on Mon, 25 March 2013, 21:11:14: You cannot. Verify with 7bit, but still keep this open. I think there are enough people that missed out/didn't get everything that would jump all over this.

Post by: OnTheBrink on Tue, 26 March 2013, 17:24:34: Just an update... I contacted R4 for legend files and permission. Just waiting on a response. Pro Bly going to do a TKL GB with icon only, text legends and keys not included (space bars etc...)

I spoke to SP and they are waiting for my response. As soon as I hear from 7bit I will fix the OP with pricing and order goal.
Title: Re: [GB] RETRO Double Shot

It seems there is enough people that want these. I am also doing only TKL.

The minimum order doesn't seem too high either. We should be okay as soon as I can get the legend.

Almost everything is sold out, so no problem for me if you start a new group buy.

Not the place for this dude.

Also as TJ has said. This could be one of the biggest headaches ever (running this GB).
Not sure if OP was looking to run this, but if so I would beg you to look at TJ, Danielucf,
and samwisekois' GBs for a lesson in how to run one. It won't be for the faint of heart.

I was really hoping that this would turn into a group buy as I missed out on the r4 GB mostly because I didn't realize that it was going on or what it was. But it's all good. When I hit my 60 posts I will just start a WTB thread for one.

I'm so not a fan of the multi-color legends. Or random symbols. Purse-style caps locks, arrows on the shift and enter keys, sure. Everything else just go with the text labels. Please.

The symbols are fine, I don't need letters telling me to "Shift, Enter, Caps Lock or Tab" my way around in any text document. Besides that's what makes the RETRO key-set so unique. Killing off the Symbols just makes it another boring key-set.

That's it. Let's start the Group Buy NOW!!! ;D

The symbols are fine, I don't need letters telling me to "Shift, Enter, Caps Lock or Tab" my way around in any text document. Besides that's what makes the RETRO key-set so unique. Killing off the Symbols just makes it another boring key-set.
elrick... you had ample time to get in on round4. just saying :P

I know BUT people miss out due to various circumstances, that's why there's sometimes a Second Version of Key-sets that are made like Klaxon - The RA2 Clone and CCnG Round 2 (the weird thing was I paid up in full for the FIRST Version of this key-set, including extra transit charges but never received anything >:( ).

So according to you everyone should miss out? :-\ I'm glad that there are people willing to do a Round TWO because the interest is THERE and always will be. Nobody starts a 2ND Group Buy unless it's really wanted by a vast number of People, it's like TRUE democracy at work (people use to give up their lives for that little known concept) ;) .

No, this interest check is for another round of "RETRO," not "ROUND3" style.

AH! got it. Either way I'm all about it.

Post by: Melvang on Sat, 06 April 2013, 09:21:36: Same here I would be very interested if offered with blue symbols instead of text legends and no RGB/Y for me. I just can't see any flow to it.

Post by: tricheboars on Sat, 06 April 2013, 12:00:20: those symbols do not feel retro to me. honestly i would rather have the modifiers spelled out since that is how i envision retro.

Post by: jdcarpe on Sat, 06 April 2013, 12:35:09: Yeah, spelled out in ALL CAPS...
Title: Re: [IC] RETRO Double Shot
Post by: OnTheBrink on Tue, 09 April 2013, 00:13:23: Everything is a go. I will be starting the Group Buy very soon.

Prices at the moment seem to be $99 for the set. The more orders I get, the more I will reduce the price. I will put everything together tomorrow.

Title: Re: [IC] RETRO Double Shot
Post by: OnTheBrink on Wed, 10 April 2013, 08:17:05: I am going to post the modifiers for both text, symbols, RGB and non-RGB since the minimum order is only 25 pieces. However, this is not a definite as I do not want too many expecting a certain modifier and we do not get enough requests for ones that we originally created this for.

Either way, I am going to start the GB thread tonight. I got busy since my girl was sick with 101 last night. So look out for it.

Post by: ideus on Wed, 10 April 2013, 09:01:37: If the set is black with color legends I am totally in. However I think that a space bar in the same color will be a very good addition.

When the group buy will be launched?
Title: Re: [IC] RETRO Double Shot
Post by: jdcarpe on Wed, 10 April 2013, 09:05:00: I think some people are confused as to what this IC is about. This is not a "Round 3"-alike set. It's a "R4-Retro"-alike set.

OP restated this here:

Title: Re: [IC] RETRO Double Shot
Post by: jdcarpe on Wed, 10 April 2013, 09:53:00: 7bit's Doubleshot Replacements Round 4 group buy contained several different styles of keycap sets. Specifically Spherical (SA-profile), Retro, Noir, and Round3.

This IC is to basically run another round of the "Retro" style from R4.

More info here: http://deskthority.net/wiki/Doubleshot_Replacements_Round_4

"Retro" also can refer to Matt3o and samwisekoi's "DSA Retro" group buy. And some people have been using it to describe the "Round 3" keyset. The term "Retro" is confusing, and I suggest it not be used to describe group buys in the future.

Just call it "Lightblue WYSE".

And no, I've got nothing against a re-run of this.
