Title: [IC] Some new/original GMK ideas. Vote on your favorite. Added SNES option
Post by: intelli78 on Mon, 03 August 2015, 19:36:00: Here are some ideas I've been brewing while waiting on the TA sets...

These would all be GMK w/ custom colors, exact layout TBD but not as exotic as the TA set. Obviously nothing is completely original these days, but I'm trying to offer some fresh ideas that haven't been done before...

Mods can we make a poll?

Cream Cheese & Jelly

Post by: effectiveduck on Mon, 03 August 2015, 20:55:40: Definitely a fan of Arabian Nights, but why don't we trying something that isn't just different base and/or legend colours on alphas and mods? For example, Skull Squadron (http://www.pimpmykeyboard.com/deals/skull-squadron-base-set-2/) has the F-row 1 colour, Num Row another and the rest another colour with a few accents on Enter and Arrow keys.

So what was the MOQ of custom color sets?

Normally 1,000 but they reduced it to 500 for Adler, and they are also working on reducing their suppliers' MOQs. So hopefully that number can continue to decrease. I think it will - they are obviously interested in doing business with the enthusiast market (e.g., their upcoming keyboard and QMX clips). I think they will realize/are realizing that a limited palette of like 15-20 colors is old thinking, and that customers want more options. :thumb:

Nah, jelly is famicon. It's been proposed several times, but never done.

Like I said in the OP, it's hard to be original at this point. Same is true of Orange Crush, there is already the Cherry replica set.

For the Jelly one, it would be a velvet (red w/ shades of purple) and yellow/cream alphas (most CCNG is actually pure white) so I think it'd be different than Red Alert.

^ Yes, this very much.

And in the spirit of that, I'd vote for the SNES, and with darker mods too, as suggested by sherbo. Not sure about the rgby, makes it borderline unicorn for me, but could be an addon.
Also, why is everyone still doing only WASD, I wanna see more QWER for us moba players, please. With an off-colour R of course :)

I actually like the yolch too.

I like nubbinator's second one. My spin on it would be 3B for the mods, 3C for enter and esc. White legends, and maybe a custom light gray for the alphas. I like blue/teal sets personally, but it is really tough to be unique with blue now. I can't think of a set that uses colors like this at least.

Arabian Nights looks like a clusterfrak with those dark colours and yellow just does not go with those colours.

These are all still a little vanilla. Why not go insane, like... I dunno, this:

(http://www.iankunx.net/annakeyset.png)

OK obviously nobody would ever use that, it was whipped up in a few minutes using Anna's coronation dress from Frozen as inspiration, but you get the idea. Light alphas dark mods zzz wake me up when we do something new. TA works because it's a gorgeous colour but after a while it's like... OK. Now what.

Added. Unfortunately, this will give skewed results. I've also set it so that users can edit their votes, but I think the only way to do that is to remove your vote first, then re-vote.

intelli, if you do not want the poll modified like this, please let me know so I can revert it. :thumb:
