Title: [IC] ISO Addon for DSA Dolch Replica
Post by: Moosecraft on Tue, 11 June 2013, 14:15:06
Hey all ISO users :)
 This is an IC for an ISO addon for the Dolch DSA set that will be run by Redline ( http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=43863.0 )
This addon would then have
ISO Enter key
1,25 Left shift
Extra 1x1 key 2nd row ( next to shift)
Extra 1x1 key 3rd row (next to enter key)

Report your interest for this here, unfortunately I am neither able to do mockups for the keys nor run the potential GB.

interested in 2x if the dsa dolch gb goes through.
for what it's worth: if we add blanks/extra keys to this it might help it get off the ground more.
example: center stemmed stepped caps lock.

+1

If the replica GB doesn't include blanks, then offering blanks would definitely increase numbers!

If blanks become a secondary focus of this, I'd love to see blacks in both light grey and dark grey, and possibly even deep dish variants! I have still yet to see a full keyboard of DSA deep dish blanks!! DYING to know what that's like to type on!

haha.. The only board that's made me want to try ANSI is the Leopold FC 660C.

A strong focus of this community is that you can literally customise a board to EXACTLY what you want. And for me, that's ISO ;) This preference sure makes my life harder some times! (Most times)

Post by: vorn on Fri, 14 June 2013, 03:49:58
Okay, maybe I was being a little dramatic. I would use the set, but would have to settle for a miss-matched set to make it ISO. Which would be a pity.

Post by: domoaligato on Sat, 15 June 2013, 23:05:54
I think I just realized that to make a complete set for users using the gh60 max keys layout these would be needed.

Ansi Enter key in 1.25 size
Backspace in 1x
Title: Re: [IC] ISO Addon for DSA Dolch Replica
Post by: Matt3o on Sun, 16 June 2013, 11:49:36
ISO Enter key
1,25 Left shift
Extra 1x1 key 2nd row ( next to shift)
Extra 1x1 key 3rd row (next to enter key)

There are no rows in DSA and there's no ISO Enter in DSA as well. What you need is:

DCS ISO Enter
1.25u DSA shift
2x 1u DSA blank keys

thanks! i am building the info and will do this group buy.
I intend this to be a groupbuy to include keys not in the other set that everyone needs to make it complete.
please post requests with explanations as to why you need them in this thread.
I will compile a complete list of part numbers etc from sp when everyone has there input

Post by: domoaligato on Sun, 16 June 2013, 12:22:03
some might want 2x 1u DSA blank keys in both colors for a total of 4x 1u DSA blanks.
please post feedback.

I'm definitely in for this! Also: by "offer all blanks" do you mean for modifiers as well?! I'm still dying to try out an all-deep-dish blank keyboard. Please offer deep dish blanks!  ;D If others are keen of course
Title: Re: [IC] ISO Addon for DSA Dolch Replica
Post by: Matt3o on Sun, 16 June 2013, 13:09:14
yeah I mean all mods at least up to 2u. deep dish included of course. but that would be a hell of a GB...

also some legends for EU countries would be nice.
Title: Re: [IC] ISO Addon for DSA Dolch Replica
Post by: vorn on Sun, 16 June 2013, 13:15:26
I'll honestly be happy with anything that comes from this GB! But if blanks are offered I'll definitely get a second set of blanks! And LOADS of deep dishes just to see what that's like :P Is the profile of the DCS ISO enter quite different from the rest of the DSA family?

Title: Re: [IC] ISO Addon for DSA Dolch Replica
Post by: domoaligato on Mon, 17 June 2013, 00:13:53
here is what I have came up with so far.

I was thinking this would be one big set. with a few minimal optional kits
It will support all phantom/gh60/ergodox/fullsize ansi & iso layouts
it will also include the ISO return and short RETURN keys missing from DrugER's DSA Dolch Groupbuy.

I will maybe have a option for RGB DSA Mods in this.

The kits have not been split yet but this spreadsheet has the general idea.

link removed it was out of date.

Guys, a complex config like that is the best way to the Sanatorium.

Keep things simple, especially if this is your first GB.

Just make kit 1: tkl, kit 2: numpad, kit 3: winkeyless, kit 4: ISO and that's it.

If you really really want add the gamer's kit (maybe in just one color) and two windowed keys and put them both into the kit 1.

I will put them in kits tomorrow. I was just trying to figure out all the combinations that would be needed if you wanted to have everything.
I was thinking the following kits
TKL base
tenkey addon
winkeyless mods
ISO blank
ISO addon for DSA Dolch Replica with legends including short ansi RETURN.
Gamer kits(deepdish of the standard colors)
RGBY mods

it will have descriptions like:
if you have a ergodox then order ######
if you have a cherry with 1u mods order #######
if you have are ordering for a gh60 and want the max keys layout order #####
if you have a phantom in 7 bit layout order ######
etc, etc

could someone please help me to obtain the following colorway codes?
ABS GE = PBT ???
ABS GX = PBT ???
Title: Re: [IC] ISO Addon for DSA Dolch Replica
Post by: Matt3o on Mon, 17 June 2013, 02:37:02
ABS and PBT colors never 100% match (not even pure black and pure white).

the addons to the Dolch replica GB should be in ABS!

the closest to GE are GQT (way darker) and GJQ (way lighter)

the closest to GX I'd say it's GSF

ok I will keep it all abs. it will be much easier.
I was going to have abs for the addons and a complete set of blanks in pbt.
it is just going to end up being way to much trouble and the colors won't match.

Oh my.. DSA RGBY?! This keeps getting better and better! I was very happy to see that there's a 1.75x Shift key on the DOLCH REPLICA gb... I'd be over the moon if the RGBY set included the same.

This is going to be one classy set! DSA Retro Dolch with RGB.

Wanting this for my ISO GH60. I wonder how many other people are doing the same? Reason I ask is, there will be LED support for WASD. Maybe it's worth suggesting a clear legend Dolch light grey gamer set? I don't know? That kind of subtlety I think is really great.
Title: Re: [IC] ISO Addon for DSA Dolch Replica
Post by: vorn on Mon, 17 June 2013, 05:58:18
Also: this is just my opinion, but since the legends on the Dolch scheme are white, +1 for white legends on the RGB set.

Though if RGBY is more of a focus, I guess white on yellow might not have enough contrast. I personally am not interested in the yellow modifier keys.

All the other white legend kits look good. I don't see why this one wouldn't.

Ah! Right you are!

It doesn't mean the greatest deal to me, but if the |\ key is a blank it will be the only blank on my keyboard. So if I could choose I'd like the legend on that key. But I'm happy with anything that's decided for this GB! In for an ISO addon set as well as a RGBY set.

Post by: domoaligato on Tue, 18 June 2013, 03:43:47
thank you for pointing that out. when I get the quotes back from SP later this morning I will fix the iso kit.
I think it might have a few to many 1u keys.

hopefully that might lower the cost a little.
Title: Re: [IC] ISO Addon for DSA Dolch Replica
Post by: vorn on Tue, 18 June 2013, 04:20:24
Yeah, I personally wouldn't use any of the blank 1u keys if the \| key is supplied. My layout will have a 1.75u Shift_R, and a 1u additional key to the right of it, but the DOLCH REPLICA set comes with quite a few 1u keys, and since my form factor is going to be 60%, I'm gonna have quite a few spare keys :)

Thanks for running this! Otherwise I wouldn't be able to participate in my favorite colour scheme, in my favorite profile, AND: DSA RGB mods?! Couldn't be more perfect!

Keen to see the pricing. I find the structuring of these kits a bit too comprehensive.

Kit 1 - I would use 3 of the 8 keys (or only 2 if I get Kit 2)
Kit 2 - I would use 6 of the 20 keys

So that's 8 out of the 28 keys being put to use. This is slightly exaggerated since not using the Yellow WIN keys is a personal preference, but even then, 10 / 28 keys. Did you base these kit structures on another GB?

Kit 1 is not just the iso kit.
it is all the missing keys from druger's groupbuy to finish possible layouts.

Kit2 is ALL RGBY mods.
this includes all the RGBY mods and keys needed for cherry/phantom/7bit/gh60 layouts. I do not want to sort tsangen kits, moogle kits, winkeyless 1.5 mods, standard 1.25 mods, etc, etc.

Once you see the pricing I do not think your going to be that concerned anymore about a few extra keys that you may or may not end up using later.

Sounds promising :) Yeah, I was going to add at the end of my post that this isn't a complaint, but just commenting on the overly comprehensive set of keys that are included. But yes, sorting individual key set requests wouldn't be any fun and I'm sure that lends itself towards errors in packaging.

Following this GB with great interest!
