I am not him, but I know that he designed this set over on Reddit, and all of his original creation threads are here:
One (http://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/27xnxt/interest_check_for_a_sp_dsa_groupbuy_design/)
Two (http://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/287jh0/interest_check_group_buy_got_a_good_response_a/)

I'd say its all about the $$$$$$$
I realize its going off topic but whats to stop someone from taking the mockups from a group buy someone has ran here and just re-running it? OR stopping SP from just going full on production and selling the most 'popular' keysets they make for group buys?

Really, start a pissing match just because the color scheme issimilaridentical?

I wasn't interested anyway, but I hope nobody buys this and it dies.
What a joke.

come on jd.....tell us how you really feel about it ;) :D
no, but ill start a pissing match because someone has copied my original IP and run around the internet talking about how they designed it, as well as using copyright protected images that it explicitly says they cant use or even change the colour of if they even had permissionWhich images are you talking about Bunny?

edit: still want to know what my joke was.
Probably best I stay out of this, I don't play on getting this (DSA ew) and BunnyLake has been awesome to me as far as customer service/hooking me up with keysets. Although I will say I think it has enough of a variation in color that it is not a clear rip-off of Hyperfuse (more of a homage to keysets like it) and is distinct enough to where I believe it's not a copy. Perhaps the WASD add-ons and GitHub logo crossed the line however, and that's worth bringing attention to.edit: still want to know what my joke was.
I think he's mocking how it was 'DESIGNED BY: JAYFID'
To me, it looks like a ****tier version of Hyperfuse..

dont let our mockups fool you in to thinking they are different colours, we go for a washed out look on our graphics, look at the actual picture of the keys
when you're laying out a 4 color set with large centered legends, there's going to be some similarity with most existing sets."
In the original reddit thread, he comments several times that he was influenced by:
"It's definitely based on some of my favorite DSA keysets, including hyperfuse, dolch, etc"
http://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/27xnxt/interest_check_for_a_sp_dsa_groupbuy_design/ci5dz5u
He also mentions that:
"It's basically what you said. Dolch and hyperfuse are my favorite keysets and I heavily based this on those."
http://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/27xnxt/interest_check_for_a_sp_dsa_groupbuy_design/ci5foio
Even more:
"There's really more influence from Dolch/Granite/Hyperfuse. However, when you're laying out a 4 color set with large centered legends, there's going to be some similarity with most existing sets."
http://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/28w5fw/update_the_keyset_i_posted_a_few_days_ago_is_back/cif7wle
And lastly, in response to this comment:
"looks too much like hyperfuse for it to really take off."
He acknowledges and comments on the similarity:
"I actually disagree. I really like hyperfuse, and it was one of the keysets that inspired me to put this together, but the hyperfuse set just isn't readily available anymore. One of my goals was to make something for people who like certain things like hyperfuse/DSA/high contrast designs but can't actually get anything like that."

Personally, I don't think it's a knockoff of Hyperfuse. Rather, I see it as a hybrid of Hyperfuse and Dolch. I like the green color (my suggestion in the original thread!), which I feel reminds me of the old "terminal green" on Linux machines.
Lastly, it's hilarious that people are emailing Github for "copyright" issues, when seemingly, nobody has a problem with the Darth Vader Clacks. Bunnylake, have you snitched on ClackFactory to 20th Century Fox/Disney for copyright violations of the Darth Vader design? Have you written an email to Nintendo regarding the aluminum Pokemon keycaps? To Warner Bros regarding the V for Vendetta caps? If you haven't... then why do you take such umbrage here? To me, using the Github logo isn't much different than any of the other instances of keycaps inspired by popular culture. If you're going to peeved about this, than why not be peeved at the other instances?

People seem really salty today, but personally, I think it's a nice set.
this happening, legitimately hurts [CTRL]ALTS future plans, we are about to launch hyperfuse with gmk as well as having plans to do another round of hyperfuse with sp shortly, as has been commented in other sections of this subforum, its hard enough getting buys to moq as it is, without people taking our designs and claiming it as their own
Bunny went through the trouble to ask Github for permission and use it in a set. Then some twat comes along and uses it because "this is the internet".Quote>i dont know why you bring up other makers, if they wanna use copyrighted work, that is up to them, if those companies wish to pursue the issue, that is also up to them, those companies have the right to pursue their properties, but we our simply taking a stand with ours
Because you are not associated with Github, yet went out of your way to inform them. Yet, I don't see you expending the same effort with the other companies. That's my point. It doesn't seem like you really care about copyright at all, but simply being vindictive here.
This set is similar to Hyperfuse as Pepsi is to Coke, as Mr. Pibb is to Dr. Pepper. That is to say, I really don't think he stole any of your work. Maybe inspired by it, but I see enough difference. Like another user said, the green reminds me of a retro command line. My opinion is that he did not mimic Hyperfuse, but formed somewhat of a hybrid with Dolch.

Which profile will it be?
Last time I only ordered DCS, but right now I also kinda want a DSA version.
Not to mention that I already put money aside for Hyperfuse GMK :p

Yeah but was this announced previously? Seems as though it was made as a type of tribute since they weren't being made anymore.
... doesnt give you free reign to mimic it, the fact is, he is in breach of our community unregistered design rights ...
... doesnt give you free reign to mimic it, the fact is, he is in breach of our community unregistered design rights ...... You picked 4 colors out of a ring of 150, no? Would you take all the paint at the paint store as well, because, hey, it's your design? This seems petty, and a little immature ...

what it comes down to, is we are a small community and things tend to be done on a level of respect, or with a wink and a handshake, with the understanding that although we may not legally protect ourselves, we dont just rip each other off, huge amounts of time and money goes in to this stuff
Lol I can't wait till some new guy posts some pics here with these on his board 8-)

well, plenty of poeple have been aware im rerunning hyperfuse for a long time, basically anybody who has contacted me about it i let know it was coming again soon, it was also officially announced prior to this thread, also i dont feel i should have to announce my work just so somebody else wont rip it off, as stated before, this community is based on trust and respect, and as this person showed zero respect, he shouldnt be trusted
at no point did he contact me to ask about purchasing hyperfuse, rerunning hyperfuse or using our design
I bought this.
I own multiple sets of granite.
I own Hyperfuse.
I'm buying every DSA cause I like them, and I like having different color combinations.
IMO there should be MORE similar keysets to make mixing and matching easier,
leaving us with more pretty, diverse, and personal keyboards.

Yep, some people take this hobby way too serious, some because it is a way to make a small profit others for the glory...
I'm getting too old for forums and butthurt like this. I deal with enough with that in RL, I don't need to crap with that also my hobby.
Instead of being proud that your work inspired others you.... never mind :(
And one more thing, even if they don't invest shed loads of money people still work hard for designsGranite is hard work but when (not Decked Out case) someone just mix 2 colors and don't even know what a Tsangan set is...
I think some people have a right to take things seriously when they invest 10's of thousands of dollars and countless hours of their time to run their own group buys versus just simply picking some cute colors and submitting mockups to signature plastics to run.

Ambiguous post is ambiguous.
Are you flipping off the keyset, PMK, or Ctrl[Alt]?

Looks like he is flipping off Mito and the Decked out set. Guess he really likes [Ctrl]Alt! ;)
