While CMYK Legacy was a dream, I think that it can be worked on in the future when I am able to make things flow a little more smooth.
For the first keyset Keyclack will release, we are offering two colors in PBT.
The
Here is a sample of what the final sets should look like.

Here are some details that I have now.
- $60 Introductory GB Price

This is my one of my first attempts at doing a IC for a decent keyset. So hopefully, you like it.
Inspiration
I started out with some neutral tones, which I enjoy. Grey & white are a beaut, so I thought that would be a great starting point.
I really wanted to integrate a classic color wheel, the CMYK/W color wheel, so I threw those into the modifiers, and tried to go with the best orientation of the colors. I added orange at the backspace/esc just to try to give it a small hint of warmer colors, and I don't think it disturbs the set too much with the orange.
Colors
I'm using SP PBT chips. But these are just for reference.
The material will be PBT however.

If there is enough interest, I will move forward and purchase a sample set at my own cost to test it, then we can move forward!
edit #1:
also working on novelties, will possibly move to 3D render. and FEEDBACK is appreciated.
edit #2:
if we hit a 200 unit MOQ, the cost will be $95 per set + shipping!
Edit #3:
Going into purchase of sample set a few hours after IC to test validity of new company. Hopefully it works out!

I'm not 100% sure on how to say the name, but the translation is "DONGGUAN GREAT PLASTIC GOODS".
They have shown me their sample sets, and it looks good. I've been talking to them for a while now, and they seem legit.
In order to alleviate any worry on quality, etc, I am looking to purchase a set for myself in any case (if we go GB or not), just because I like it.
The sample is pretty cheap for a single run, costing about $250.
Also, it looks like thick pbt mold, and not doubleshot.
Cherry PBT? So Gateron? Vortex?
See above.

I didn't know you could get those color combos using dye sub.
Post by: livingspeedbump on Thu, 16 June 2016, 15:37:26
You can't dye sub a lighter color onto a darker cap. It only works the other way around. This set would have to be doubleshot.

Please do some research before starting an IC. :-X

I understand the limitations of the dye sub printing process and confirmed with the company that if the pigment of grey is light, then the legends can be printed in their multi color form.
If anything, the Grey color will have to be changed to a lighter hue.

Do you have any pictures of what the end result would look like? Actual photos of their caps?
Due to how the sublimation process works, you can't discharge a darker color from the base, and replace it with another lighter color.
If some new company (or any company, honestly) promised this was possible, I'd be very hesitant to believe them without proof first.

i know this. thank you for your explanation.
if not double-shot, i prefer to dye-sub.
whether "dongguan great plastic goods"is high quality or not , we who all be interest in this IC even GB should confirm this plastic in person and look into how the real keycaps look like after dye-sub.
As i know, many but not all moulds for PBT , more or less, have crooked mx-stem moulds including BSP's PBT . Except for crooked stem and only wkl's lay-out, BSP is pretty comfortable in touching and typing in gentleness and texture on surface.
i am extremely interested in your idea on this color-way. May be BSP' PBT is one option of your many options . Due to flaw in mould, the crooked stem of BSP could not be foundementally addressed but we could remind BSP of stricter QC on them. and we could choose more blank keycaps for dye-sub for wk lay-out. as for minority lay-out ,we could turn to enjoy PBT.
BSP's PBT has less lower price than "dongguan great plastic goods".

BSP, for the most part, is great. High quality Cherry profile BPT caps. I know for a fact they can't dye sub a lighter legend onto a darker cap though. Also, the long running problem with BSP is that they don't do space bars, so organizing a GB through them requires a bit more work, as you have to source spacebars elsewhere.
But like you are saying, without explicit proof this random company can produce high quality caps WITH a new way of dye sublimation that nobody else has figured out yet, i'll skip on this one.

yesir, you have told more details on BSP's PBT. we choose GMK 's 7×and 6.25× blank space instead and there is a bit difference between BSP's color and GMK‘s ,nonetheless, the difference have less effect on matching them harmoniously.

I'm in tested to see how this turns out. Given the color scheme and the dye sub process, I would not be willing to purchase a set until we can see real pictures of their quality.
Sounds great, thanks for the interest! I just paid for the keyset sample, and hopefully it turns out well.

Thanks for this insight! I haven't dealt with BSP before, but they look like a decent company to work with. I've only seen their sets through Ori's releases.
If you think they have a mold problem, then I would like to avoid that. This is my first release, or attempt at a release, so I'd like for it to turn out well.
Last thing, do you know the pricing scheme/contact for BSP? This has 150 keys for about $100, which is an okay price.
Have you considered keeping modifier legends white except for ctrl, alt, and shift to match CMY mods colors
HMM. That definitely sounds good. Maybe I can tack that on with this, without incurring too much cost. But with all the CTRL sizes, etc, I might have to change that around.
I will play with this idea, as I definitely like how it can play out, but it might just look like the CMYW mods haha, which I'm trying to push away from.

Oh wow! That looks surprisingly nice. You should just call this the official keyclack set.
Some custom artisans like a cmyw themed wk-001 would be cool to see. Definitely in for one.
Can we still get the original grey mods though?

these looks promising but shares the same concern that the lighter color on the modifier legends might not turn out well against the vibrant cyan and magenta background.

Agreed. I am getting samples in the colors that I have posted for the CMYK codes above. Hopefully it is vibrant!

I realized that supporting ISO would cost a lot more than I want this set to come out to and I personally don't like the idea of child kits :\.

This one could be interesting given the low price. Always a fan of blue.
Yaahhhs. The price is something I am super proud of, and I'm pretty sure it'll stick to that $60 price point in the GB. Then retail for extra at $70. Still, I believe that for the price, it is a great value.
Looking to see what other keys to include right now to make this set good for most layouts.

The set was created from scratch and uses dye sub in order to achieve it.
Maybe I'm being 'that guy' but these are two exact color schemes that have already been successful inside the community. GMK Valentine and GMK Cyan. Of course you have the right to set up any IC you want, but c'mon...

For at least the cyan set, I see two immediate differences. First, it's PBT rather than ABS for the GMK set. Second, there's a significant price drop for this set compared with the GMK set. Sure, it's another cyan/white set but the two differences might be of interest to some.

I understand. My reply stemmed from the fact that I assumed there was no claim of unique design from scratch. All good, though. I think we just started from different points.

The GB sets will run at $60 per set, the extras (or leftovers, however you want to call them) will be sold for $70 per set, just like it is common in groupbuys. It will not be an extra $70 on top of the $60, but the extra sets will be sold for $70. It's clear now I hope.

I'm pretty sure that was the price for a different set, the CMYW Legacy, which is put on hold in favor of PBT Cyan and Magenta.

I am really curious about the sample, how the hell they can dyesub lighter legends? Do they dyesub everything except the legends?

Wait did no one try or were there valid reasons no one did it before? I've had this idea ever since I heard about that whole dyesub stuff, but I thought that it is basically impossible since no one did it at that time.

The $60 price is the GB price. Retail will run $10 more than that. I personally like keeping Gbs small so I'm not holding onto a bunch of people's money and then not ending up delivering.
The $110price was for another set using a different dye sub process. However, I realized that the price was unreasonable despite the result. The company also had bad communication which I personally did not like.
So the current offer is the PBT magenta and PBT cyan sets you see before you.
The image you see is not a Photoshop. It is a real cap. I'm waiting for samples to arrive this week (from what I'm told). We'll see how it is! I'll take photos with my macro lens to show quality compared to enjoypbt.

If this set is a possibility so that means a Dyesub White on black is possible too!?
Definitely a possibility. In fact, I will look into that as well.

Looking good! I wish you were doing this GB for that shade of Purple though! I don't think Cyan or Magenta colour would go with any of my boards. Maybe for Round 2 you could consider Purple or other colours?
Also plz offer winkeys with that vintage windows logo! Maybe as an optional add-on? It's super pretty, especially in Purple like the samples.

the yellow & purple are the actual caps.
Negative dye sub process. Dye sub around the legend.
Post by: switchnollie on Thu, 18 August 2016, 21:36:33
If they can dye the whole cap evenly you could make some promising sets.
Post by: jchan94 on Thu, 18 August 2016, 21:49:50
Wow, those legends are crisper than I thought the process would make.

Legends are nice, but the dye sub job on the sides are not good :(. Back to the drawing board.

Really interesting process and it seems to work fairly consistently down to the base of the caps, though it looks like they had trouble with the ISO return key inside the corner where the dye hasn't made contact.
I probably wouldn't be interested in a full keyset, but would definitely be interested in a purple mod pack, particularly 1.25 OS keys, ESC key, and Enter key. Would go great with the black/purple on beige Hangul set I recently bought through your site. Would mod packs or individual keys be a possibility before full keysets go ahead, to give people a cheaper option to see these caps for themselves?

This is cool, and I hope something awesome comes from it.
Post by: Bob on Fri, 19 August 2016, 03:42:46
For a moment I was thinking "This seems really inefficient..." but then I saw the possible renders with the striped Enter key and I stopped caring.

Wait... are they actual samples or just renders? :-[

That tricolor enter key is to die for.

Here's to hoping. It would be nice to have more cap buying options.
