possible to have the 3 modes (fighter, gerwalk, battloid) as legends of the keycaps?
yes. although not a fan of the black alphas.

the skull is the original one (1:1 replica). same as Macross logo.
If you like the idea please post suggestions/impressions.

it looks awesome Matt3o!
i'm still searching for the silhouette for the 3 modes of the valkyrie/veritech for the 3 keys on top

I made some tests for that but the keys are very small and you end up with a incomprehensible scribble. But if we can find the right graphics it might work
The following is the (almost) final designShow Image(http://i.imgur.com/LW8eNva.png)
I've added a black stripe for 60% that otherwise would lose the yellow+black thing. Also the numpad gets the Zentradi logo :)
I think I still miss a couple of keys though

Any chance to add a second left shift for the FC660M?

not a big issue, but... why? That kit is intended for 60% layouts... how do you plan on using it?

Well... I hadn't put a whole lot of thought into it, but I do have a keypad that matches my 60%... right now it's wearing matt3o's DSA retro, but both the cases are black, and the black/brown combo I'm not sure about. I thought having the black stripe continue over to the keypad might be nice, even if the keypad is separated. I dunno, just a thought.
Edit: old picture, everything is wearing DSA retro right now...

Ahh, I made it... there is a bit of information over in the GHpad thread on page 4 (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=38963.msg874217#msg874217). The case could use some work. It looks ok, but the PCB mount points need alignment and the profile doesn't quite exactly match the poker case I was trying to mimic.

This set looks awesome!
Yet another sign that I need to give Macross a watch.
Hmm, this set might actually give me a reason not to sell my Filco.This set looks awesome!
Yet another sign that I need to give Macross a watch.
Also you should consider that their profile will allow the alphas to be moved around, thus the set will be a good resource to try different layout other than ANSI.
Alright! we should wait for SP to have time to answer your request. Thank you for the answer and happy new year.
what?! do not put strange things into people's mind.
This is gonna be DSA. It has always been DSA and will always be.

Sorry didn't mean to cause any strife with your future group buy, took something and everything is kind of off-kilter at this moment in time. Please forgive, my mistake.
:D I hope this not turn into a psycho-thriller style thread...Hehe

It was my fault because I knew he was doing a DCS version but I forgot which key-set he was doing it in. BECAUSE matt3o never lists the front page of his 'possible' Group Buy with what key-cap profile he will be using I naturally thought that this one was going to be a DCS version.
I normally don't read all through the postings here due to not having copious amount of time to peruse all of Geekhack but this is entirely my fault for assuming the wrong profile that's all.
Plus I experimented with something weird a day ago whilst off shift and now everything is a lot clearer.
Here it is:

DSA, FTW!
also please help me finding at least another Macross related logo to use.
look closer... :)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/LW8eNva.png)
Let me scan the show. I'm pretty sure there are symbols in the cockpit for the three control levers.

It was already in the numpad? I have not noticed that before sorry. I think it would be a good idea to include that other logo in the miscellaneous subset for those not requiring the numpad.

that exactly the point, making the numpad more appealing :)
the only other interesting symbol I've found is thisThat's S.M.S. from Macross Frontier. Same for this one;Show Image(http://www.1999.co.jp/itbig07/10076154.jpg)
I think it's macross frontier...

just saying...
there would be the "danger" logo which I believe is pretty standard for fighters
You could put NO STEP on a non-stepped caps lock :p

I have no clue what Macross or RObotech is but I love the original and revised set.
very interested :)
maybe I can merge the black stripe and the black alpha
they are really too small... I don't know, the risk of ending up with 3 ****ty keys is high... what do you think?What is this, a Rorschach Test?

the images are not printed but double-shot!
that's why the image must be very simple

Release candidateNo more black accent keys for us 60%ers, or am I just blind?Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/dLWk0m8.png)
I've added a "boring joe" set and merged the two black sets.
Later today I'll work on the 3 mode keys.
it has been merged with the black alphaThat's a shame.
matt3o, I love your mockups, possible to PM me a template?

Enter key suffers a lot of wear. It may be worth to include a second one as spare part. What do you think?
this keyset is part of a super secret project that will start soon. I can'd say more for now, but it will probably start in the second half of Jan.

I'd take 2 sets instead :)
I'll add spares for spacebars, I may add the enter key as well
I have never heard of this show, but I really like the color scheme!
That's very cool! Thank you for your answer.:thumb:
Matt, this set concept as well as the BoB PBT with sublimated legends are awesome. Very likely some of the best out there. This because of the colors, and profile, and the other because of the material. I hope both begin soon. Well not that soon just to allow my wallet to get warmed :-[ .
Just double checking: Macross will be ABS w/ DS legends and the BoB will be PBT w/ sublimated ones, both in DSA profile, right?

Exactly as you said!
Matt: Could you consider to add to the BoB a second 2.25x shift key? Sorry if this comment is out of place, and that it should be moved to the corresponding thread. I do not want to cause any confusion.
And also I wonder if the two 1x keys in the ISO set should be labeled with the appropriate UK legends. I know other languages are different, but I think ISO users may benefit of having some references in these two keys. Also the backslash key will fit most of ISO based languages.
What is this BoB?
Macross is cool!
Macross is cool!
you can say it twice!
just to clarify.

May be interested if I get a job in the near future. It looks pretty. :D
Possible to include colemak home keys?
If only I had friends, then I could do that "Hey, hook me up with a job yeh?" thing everyone seems to do. :(
But yes. Job hunting here I come. :rolleyes:

Two 2.25u? For the Leopold? Remember that Leopold has weird mount points for the shift keys (at least so I heard). Anyway I believe the macross mods kit pretty much covers every keyboard on the planet :) (except for ergo dox and other extremes).
Macross is covered, I meant to have the same for BoB. And shift mounts are standard as any other board. Any standard shift key in 2.25u fits the Leo. Non standard stem positions are in the spacebar only.
good to know ideus, thanks.
anyway yes, the PBT set will include the 2.25u additional shift (I have ha 660M myself :p )
You bet, even if it's selling dope on street corners 8) .I don't like the risks involved. They don't have mechanical keyboards in jail do they?
