Title: [IC] DS TKL set $60.27 @ 100 sets
Post by: boost on Fri, 25 October 2013, 12:53:52: I know lots of members like the large, all caps, centered font set from SP.

Thinking of this color combo.
(http://deskthority.net/resources/image/9125)

This would be just a TKL, 93keys as 1 kit.

standard DSC 87 key
2 1.5 ALT
2 1.5 CTL
1 1800 shift
1 7x spacebar

Price for 100 sets $55.61

If it's staying under $60, why skip out on it? The point is to have a low cost set, not low cost for certain people, and extra cost for unfortunate people in other countries. Share a couple dollars of burden to help them out. Just my $0.02.

I am in general dislike of the recycled colorway, but I wasn't going to be in anyway, so who cares about that.

The numkeys without the symbols would be a problem for me too, is that just on the keyboard color chooser and not on the actual set I hope?

Title: Re: [IC] DS TKL set $60.27 @ 100 sets
Post by: AKmalamute on Tue, 12 November 2013, 13:03:19: Could this be split into "sub-sets" so there's a $59 TKL set, $4 for the extras few keys for the dozen people that really, really want one of those five keys, and $15 for the TK set for those who have a full keyboard and want in anyway?

My understanding was the major push for this, from Boost, was a simple straight forward, inexpensive way to get a good keyset. I don't need them myself but I can certainly stand behind those members who want something nice, for the money that's available to them now, rather than saving across years to get a beautiful keyboard someday.

But I guess it doesn't matter either way as I wont be in (I dont think) either way. Might have to buy one of the pony novelty keysets though. Hafta. 'Scuz me hafta find that thread now. Enjoy your TKL+TK IC
