No
Maybe it's a sign that the April key is related to 420 :eek:I doubt it. Gh doesn't promote drug use afterall. Which personally I have no argument with
something other than another esc key with Geekhack on :P

Did anyone else's email come with borked pictures?I never look at the pictures anymore due to how I notify myself of TechKeys newslettets, so mine was just a wall of text. :P
Oh my glod!
Gonna try to snag one of these! Missed my chance with the normal geekhack key. You guys should make a full set like these. I would have no hesitation to buy one.

They are.....
if bg was grey..
polycarb 1st shots on dark second shots don't tend to give enough contrast. the reflectivity of the white 2nd shot is really the best case for contrast. it's going to take something really creative to get darker second shots with translucent first shots..
February key still the best key/method but that's just my thought

glod damn it....
could do something like this

so you guys should consider offering some DSA profile stuff :D
For this set will there be the option to have the whole set like the GeekHack backspace even the modifiers?ideally, yes. if we can keep costs down, we want to include both a PC on ABS modifier set and an ABS on PC modifier set. tsangan kits will, of course be an option as well. We're still working on specifics, as we need to pay to cut and proto a metric crapload of legends first, and pricing is higher than standard ABS 2-shot, but we're going to do our best to make this the most epic set yet :)
ah, but too dark a second shot and not even the LED can shine through the 2nd shot :(polycarb 1st shots on dark second shots don't tend to give enough contrast. the reflectivity of the white 2nd shot is really the best case for contrast.
Maybe, but subtlety can be good too!
Or for those determined to 'pop': remove stab, add orange LEDs.
Eh? Unless we're misunderstanding one another, that's the point of having a dark second shot - light shines through the polycarb legend but not the rest, giving max contrast. Even though there would perhaps be more shadow from the lattice pattern of second shot behind the legend, I think the effect would still be good.ah, but too dark a second shot and not even the LED can shine through the 2nd shot :(polycarb 1st shots on dark second shots don't tend to give enough contrast. the reflectivity of the white 2nd shot is really the best case for contrast.

I don't think the reverse modifiers (polycarb second shot) would work well backlit, because the first shot would block too much light (whatever its colour).

GH Jan pack looks great LED backlit, I'm wondering if the orange will hold the light better. It's going to be very unique looking regardless :)
Any name for this set yet? Orange Creamsicle? :p
Sounds like crap to me :p Light is way more complex than that...light is simple (hah!). materials are complicated!
Essentially, there are plenty of paths, are there not, for light from LEDs to travel (and spread slightly) through the polycarb first shot, lighting it up, and therefore max contrast is with a dark second shot.you might very well be right. i gave the worst-case example, but we can run more experiments once the fund has the money to spare. right now high value (and cost) target number one is cherry legends.
Without LEDs, it would be a much more subtle key, but one where the first shot catches light (e.g. from your monitor). Sure, it wouldn't be 'in-yer-face', so maybe the masses wouldn't appreciate its sophistication, but I think it could be one of the classiest effects ever seen on novelty keys!
Bah... I meant "Light's interaction with stuff..." then, I guess :pgood point. so now it's just a simple matter of making diamonds and silver out of plastic....
Just don't rule it out... I mean, you can spot a diamond even when set in silver, and there's not much 'contrast' there ;)

Set goals guys,Coming soon at: http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=42659.0
every time you ask for donations we don't know what's already been raised and what is still needed.
^Those are actually interesting. Were those something that that person invented? Or were they available beforehand and he just found them and they happened to work out perfectly?Agreed. Quite an interesting gizmo.

Is he planning on possibly starting a GB to have those made?
we don't have solid numbers yet. we'll release details as we work them out :DOk great, will keep an eye on the thread :P
Folks,
We only have 50 more of these keys, and won't be producing them again. If you want one, now might be the time.
Pertaining to legends, does each profile require a whole new payment for legends? Or now that we have the Cherry legends can we use them between profiles such as DSA and DSC (I'm a bit flaky today, I think that's the profile we usually use)each key profile family requires a new legend to be cut. ie DCS legends cannot be used to make DSA keys.
Poo. Alrighty, so next fund raiser.... DSA CHERRY! :PPertaining to legends, does each profile require a whole new payment for legends?

got mine, but obviously no backlit so its just boring =(Show Image(http://geekhack.org/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=33130.0;attach=22415;image)
