Form has been filled out.
In my notes, I suggested supporting the SmallFry 40% board. Details here (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=47133.0), since it we be released in the next month or two. Perhaps you could combine it as a kit with the HHKB kit?
Just a thought.

Yes! I'll definitely be adding support for the SmallFry kit.
edit: Trying to figure out the best way to make more layouts supported.
I want support for the following layouts:
Smallfry / 40%
60%
87-key ANSI
Numpad
Possibly ergodox
I would be interested if it's sa or dsa.
As long as there is tsangan and hhkb kits I so in on this :DYou would need the 87 keyset and tsangan/hhkb combo kit for this.
With a tsangan kit and hhkb kit would this be possible? http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/#/layouts/08cab4e18bedd84cfe291e2202b0d8cb

you sure the gray is not too dark?
That looks sweet, but I agree with your comment above, i feel like that grey is too dark for the green. Something milky would look sweet.

Do the 60% and 40% kits include the alpha keys as well? The reason I ask is that I wouldn't want to buy the alphas twice and I would be interested in both a 60% and a 40%.Yeah, each kit will be all the keys for a complete board. I don't want to run too many kits and I don't want the set to be too expensive for people who just want the keys for a 40% or 60%.
Just a thought, but it might be easier to just offer the TKL set as a base and then just include the special keys for the 60%, 40% and HHKB as a "Minimal" child set. Personally, I would buy the TKL, Minimal and Tsangan set to give me the flexibility to use them an any of my keyboards.
Yeah, each kit will be all the keys for a complete board.
I'll add an additional Minimal kit as well as the other kits.Yeah, each kit will be all the keys for a complete board.
That may be cause for fewer orders, depending on price. Knowing that I would be buying two complete sets, I don't know that I'll be getting a 40% and a 60%. I would probably choose one or the other.

@numiru: Don't make full kits for 40%/60%/TKL , this is not a good approach, it will only split the orders and lower the chances to reach the MOQ.+1 for this
From watching other GB's matt3o has the best approach.
1 set for ALPHA (where you can include also the 1u |\ key )
1 TKL modifiers set (that can be used also for 60%) (this includes F1-12, navigation, PG UP/DOWN etc, 1.25 on the bottom row with 6.25 space bar)
1 40% modifiers set
1 Numpad set including also a top row (for multimedia or something like that, have a look at Midnight for inspiration)
1 Tsangan ( 1.5 mods, 1u Win/Menu, 7x spacebar, Short 1.75u right shift, 1u FN, HHKB Style 1.5u backspace
1 ISO Kit (ISO Return, short left shift and the 2 extra keys, don't know what's on them, I'm not using ISO, but a lot of EU guys will love you for that ;)
And optional, I like this one the most, but that's me: Caps lock replacement kit : 1.75u Control for people who like the HHKB layout. You could include this one in TKL or TSANGAN
You could make an extra kit with some weird sized caps, I would not include them in other kits because it might raise the price too much.
The best thing is to try and get the best price for each kit, too many options increase the price and people don't buy it.
And would skip the blanks, some might get upset, but based on statistics blanks never hit MOQ (or only on rare occasions) and would only split the orders.

On DSA the standard font is nice, I like it. It's like on Dolch DSA or Macross Skull Squadron.I like the skull squadron ones, the font looks like Myriad Pro.
Any other font would cost $4000 custom legend fee, only a large scale GB could cover that.
Just got an email from Melissa. They can't do cherry legends on DSA caps unless we manage to raise $4500 :(
Any ideas on a nice font for this set?
They can't do cherry legends on SA either :( I'm going to go with the myriad font if I can.Just got an email from Melissa. They can't do cherry legends on DSA caps unless we manage to raise $4500 :(

Then go with SA as I filled out your form accordingly 8) .
Can't have enough perfection here especially when it comes to the fantastic SA profile, but if you decide to go GMK then that would be another story.......

I think the only real solution is to do Cherry profile ;DI would love to do cherry profile but I already promised SP that I would run GreenTea through them. They also already have all the marketing materials ready for the set. Depending on how successful the 2nd round is I may consider doing a 3rd round through GMK, but I would need Ivanovich's help in order to do this. He offered to have the alphas as an extension for the Dolch set which would work nicely.

What's wrong with DCS exactly? Apart from Elrick not liking it I mean. It's very close to Cherry profile.

Was responding mainly to this. ^^
DCS is near-Cherry profile, and is available through SP.
No, DCS is almost exactly the same height as Cherry/GMK. Except for a slightly more angular bottom row. But in any case not nearly as tall as most OEM.Wow that's great to hear! I want to run it in DCS profile, but I'm afraid that people may not want to buy the set if it's not DSA... Seems to be "trendy" right now.
In this guy's opinion, DSA are terrible for typing on. They might be okay for a POS keyboard, where you are only typing one key at a time, as in hitting a certain key for a certain item sold.

Just as a perspective thing - DCS just isn't an option for everyone.
Ergodox/dvorak/colemak are all going to have problems / not work with it. DSA or SA r3 are pretty much the best options there.
Personally, I use DSA on everything - I don't really like the extra height of SA, and I have to have a profile capable of doing Dvorak. I am probably not a prospective buyer though, just wanting to point out the benefits of non-DCS.
I used the so called Cherry (and later DCS) profile keys for decades. I pretty much prefer DSA, lowers the profile of the whole board. I don't think there's any objective advantage to "sculptured" caps, it's all in your mind :P BTW, Cherry did DSA way back when (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=5418.5) (AFAIK they are still available too !) and I still have my 1st keyboard from the late 80's in storage (halfway around the world..) w/ uni-profile SA caps (and serial interface.)
I definitely love this color scheme, but I am not too thrilled with the look of the legends. If we stick with DCS, can we have legends more similar to the DSA sets such as Retro and Granite? I like to have simple-looking modifier keys. I would be completely down for a set symbol modifier keys similar Granite as well.Cherry legends are the best ;D
Wow those look great! DCS with Cherry legends will look AWESOME for this set. I have to admit, I was a bit meh about this set at first, but now I'm so excite!
And you got the SmallFry kit exactly right! Great job!!
I love the mockups, but I wish the 87% has an fn key to cover a 60% layout for flexibility.I'll add that.
Thank you!I love the mockups, but I wish the 87% has an fn key to cover a 60% layout for flexibility.I'll add that.
Not having this or having this option can be the deal breaker or the deal maker for some of us... ;D
So did you decide on DCS then?Yeah DCS, I'm in love with Cherry legends
The kanji modifiers really make this set, I hope they turn out well. Excited for this one. :)

It failed already as dcs, you put up a poll, and only 15% voted for dcs - what have you changed so dramatically that will make it not fail this time? O.oIt did not fail, it was canceled, bad timing for the first time. Also he wanted to make the set more versatile :thumb:
Hi everyone! Just checking in for an update. GreenTea R2 will launch after the Nuclear set GB runs. (Hopefully in about a month.)
Still finalizing the files, I want to make sure everything's perfect. I added a 7x spacebar to the 60% kit to support the GH60/Duck Viper/KMAC Happy HHKB layout. I also added a row-1 delete key to the SmallFry kit for the 'alternate 'layout. I'm working on an ISO kit also and still trying to decide whether to make a new kit for ISO or add it to Tsangan.
@numiru: maybe it would be a good idea to ask SP for an estimate on the prices for each kit. This way people can prepare in time and have some money reserved for this GB. I think it would increase the chances for success ;)Will do once I finalize designs :)
I love how this set evolved and it will be a cool one :D
IC has been submitted to PMK's new interest check feature. The interest check will be up soon and it will go on until the group buy runs (after Nuclear finishes). Anyone have an idea of when Nuclear is supposed to go up?
does it come with matching clack? ;DI hope not... I don't want to see another artisan cap feeding frenzy :-X
ISO kit is finally doneNice!Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/5fX40xp.png)

It would split orders, and then risk not to hit the MOQ
although you may get more sales combining the 60% and TKL kits. More numbers on a single larger kit often equals lower price due to hitting a higher tier, instead of dividing the numbers between smaller kits that share a number of keycaps. It'll also make the kit more universal. I'm in for a base and 60% :)+1 I think that one kit for 60% and TKL would increase the chances of hitting the MOQ, even if I am a 60% user I don't mind buying some extra keys ;)

Any chance you can add a 1u Control key? I plan to use the 2 1u keys on the bottom row of the Smallfry for Ctrl and Alt. Thanks.

You know what? It's 1 key. I'm gonna add it.
Hope the same, in the same interval Pulse GB I think will be running, but that one is in SA so it should be OK.Will do :thumb:
For the lenght of the GB make sure you get the maximum of days, I think is ~30
This is one set I must have :)

Going to try to get this as well. One thing I am looking at though is we don't have a 1.25 ~` key and 1U control key on this. for those of us with ergodox's if we wanted to place it on there those would be the only things missing. candidly though I don't think the color sequence will go well with the massdrop colors (mostly buying for the RS II if/when we get the gb for it, but more options the better)I added that extra key to the SmallFry layout because there aren't that many keys in it, and that way more people with the desire to have different layouts on that board will be able to. Unfortunately, adding some extra keys isn't something I can do to support EVERY keyboard that exists. I'm gonna have to go with a no on this one. Sorry!
With anyone with that idea as well:
1.25 shift from ISO, 1u alt/win & 1.25 caps from tsangan/HHKB, and the rest is more or less already there. keep in mind that no button will match for space in that regard and the numberpad enter fits just right for the larger keys, as does backspace.
Any chance you can add a 1u Control key? I plan to use the 2 1u keys on the bottom row of the Smallfry for Ctrl and Alt. Thanks.
A green GH key would be a cool add on if possible, not sure what kit it would go in.

Hey everyone, just checking in. GH key is done, I'll include it with the alphas. Should I go with gray or green? They both look nice.

Awesome! Can't wait to get this set :D. But I was wondering if there were any possibility in providing blank modifiers as separate keys to buy (like in the nuclear data GB). Hopefully this suggestion isn't too late, because I'd love to get a few blank modifiers to match with my other sets.

This is running in the same time frame as PuLSE, and I can only afford one or the other. Already placed my order for PuLSE. I wish this had started two or three weeks later. :(
Hello, I was wondering if the modifiers were going to be split into two different sets for TKL and 60% boards? Or are all the modifiers just grouped into one kit? Super excited about this set, thanks for all your hard work numiru!60% and 87% modifiers have been combined
Thanks for the information, sounds great. Order placed and beyond hyped for this set!Thanks :)
