Title: [IC] LightCycle DSA FULL Keyboard Keyset
Post by: evangs on Wed, 24 August 2016, 18:59:35
I've been getting lots of request for the LightCycle DSA Keycap set for larger keyboards. I put together this set that should cover most keyboards out there, even ergodox. The reason I kept it as all one set is so that I could do this set in both MX and ALPS mounts. Let me know what you think and if there are any keys missing that absolutely should be included.

Updated render!

Like the colors.
Is it being one set set in stone?

That is correct.  To make it viable to do in two different stems I have to keep it simple.  Child kits would kill this thing dead in the water.  I am making adjustments to the set at this time, so if there is something that is missing let me know and I'll see how I can accommodate it.

You even got the Planck MIT spacebar. Looks good.

Thanks Evan! Have been looking forward to this, lovely set.

Any idea how it being a single set will affect pricing roughly? I guess you don't really have anything set yet but roughly, eg. can we expect it to be around 150?

I think this set needs a 1.5 u backspace, and control for caps.  Basically hhkb support, without blanks.  That  said alps makes this instant buy.

Also a 3U spacebar would make my Minila happy.

The light blue accents on the LightCycle make it for me, only reason I didn't buy Sky Dolch was because it was a little bit too bland for my liking as I usually prefer some vibrant colours on my sets.

How would the BAE stabilizers be handled?  There was never a consistent method of stabilization when it came to Alps BAEs.

Great news everyone, I've got the novelties from thesiscamper and they look amazing. I have also gotten to a much more finalized state for the caps.  I will be posting the updated set with novelties once it is ready to go. Please keep in mind with this set that there will be some tradeoffs. I'm looking to provide the correct size keys for a vast number of layouts with as few caps as possible to keep cost down.  As a result legends may not be 100% perfect for your board. I am doing some mockups to show how different layouts can be achieved with the set.

That's awesome! Can't wait to see the novelties camper came up with and the mockups you're getting together for the different layouts.

Are you still planning on running the GB yourself? Think I remember you saying you wouldn't be using MD for this particular iteration of the Lightcycle (maybe I'm thinking of something else though hence I'm asking). Either way, do you have a rough ETA at all (eg. still happening this year or are we looking at 2017)?

Hope it's all smooth sailing from here, very excited for the set and tron novelties!

Feedback time again.

(http://i.imgur.com/zxyOahF.png)

this will be one big set with the exception of the ISO/International keys at the bottom which would be a small kit (~$20)

A few legends have changed, I updated the non alpha keys to only be single legend. This is to make internationalization easier to support. ANSI users, are you ok with single legends numbers etc? International users what do you think of this compromise?

I also added homing keys for a variety of layouts.

I think this is a good middle ground bringing the most support for the least amount of keys and making it affordable for everyone.

It does. I am a decent typist, but can never remember that % is 5 and ^ is 6, so I need the second legend. Most here are probably less concerned with that though, so I accept if I'm outvoted.

I actually prefer the single legends, adds to the charm of the set per the way of simplicity. I'm a minimalist though so I'm biased, I'd be okay with either outcome but I appreciate the fact you're taking things like that into consideration to make the set more accessible money-wise for all of us.

Nice set, count me in! :thumb:

Unfortunately I can't include everything and have had to make compromises to keep the total cap count down. I've tried to support the maximum number of layouts with a limited number of keys, therefore more unique layouts will not have 100% legend accuracy, but will have the correct size caps

I was secretly hoping for an extra 2.25u Shift cap to make it through to final renders, but this explains that. The accented Enter could do the job, but this set might still go onto another board though.

Personally, I'm not a fan of the single legends... but understand the logistical simplification that decision allows.

I am not keen on the single legends either as I find them over-simplified. However, I have never used any like that, so why not give them a try?

I also added homing keys for a variety of layouts.

Thanks! :)

this will be one big set with the exception of the ISO/International keys at the bottom which would be a small kit (~$20)

While being a US-Intl layout user, if the International kit stays this small, I will certainly grab it to get my hands on these fancy Nor/De/Spanish caps.

Unfortunately I can't include everything and have had to make compromises to keep the total cap count down. I've tried to support the maximum number of layouts with a limited number of keys, therefore more unique layouts will not have 100% legend accuracy, but will have the correct size caps

I was secretly hoping for an extra 2.25u Shift cap to make it through to final renders, but this explains that. The accented Enter could do the job, but this set might still go onto another board though.

Personally, I'm not a fan of the single legends... but understand the logistical simplification that decision allows.

I am not keen on the single legends either as I find them over-simplified. However, I have never used any like that, so why not give them a try?

I also added homing keys for a variety of layouts.

Thanks! :)

this will be one big set with the exception of the ISO/International keys at the bottom which would be a small kit (~$20)

While being a US-Intl layout user, if the International kit stays this small, I will certainly grab it to get my hands on these fancy Nor/De/Spanish caps.
Thanks for the feedback, this helps a lot!

:) I do value all your opinions.  Being community oriented is one value my company will always hold.

Evan for president! Also, I'm patiently waiting for the time to come when you actually have enough resources to offer your board kits with an option for full assembly, I remember we spoke on Massdrop when your Minivan recently dropped and I'm counting days to the potential 1 year ETA you gave haha.

Single legends is a turn off for me (ANSI).

Not trying to be a buzz kill for international layouts, but I couldn't do it. DSA for me is already a risk, single legends is too much. Alps is a huge selling point, but not enough for me

Oh and fwiw, I'm an ANSI user as well (referring to my prior comment regarding liking the minimalistic profile of the single legends). It's curious to me that that's such a big deal for a lot of users on here - isn't everybody used to typing with blank keys/without looking at their legends nowadays? Or is it just (mostly) about aesthetics?

ANSI user here. Single legends also a turn off for me, and would have me reconsidering.

I actually preferred the last render from the 19th, plus the new bike novelty key, by quite a large margin over the current render.

I noticed the bikes and novelties are not in the current render? Are they out?

I was also hoping for an additional blue 2.25 shift. Was thinking of using an F660M as my primary board for this set.

The novelties haven't gone anywhere just didn't put them on this quick render as it was more about gathering feedback on the legends.

ANSI as well. I don't like single legend but I could live with it. It would make me a bit less excited but I don't think that would translate to not having a sale. I'm a decent typist but for whatever reason I seem to be symbol blind. Not insensitive to ISO format needs though.

Also the right one looks better, imo. I don't dislike the stylized version but that's more tron 2.0, I grew up with the original. ^_^

I love the look of the simpler caps. But I do use the extra legends as I am switching between keyboard layouts so often (UK, ISO, German, ...) that I never came around to remember where the bl@@%# special characters are. Well, I'll find my bracketsand punctuation in the dark, but that's about it. I litereally look where they are.

Nevertheless, I'd go for the set anyway - it's just too beautiful.

Love the newest renders and the kit separation was done well.  I will be in for both kits for sure!

It may be too late but I'd also like a blue numpad enter, I've always thought it looked sharp to have the esc & numpad enter in matching, contrasting colors flanking each corner of the board.

Sneak in a 1.75u RShift into the base set so I don't need to buy an entire set for one key.

Even if it doesn't I'm sure I can find a good home for a kit on one of my keyboards.
The Planck support alone makes the child kit worth the price of entry.

Probably 13.45, unless it hits the higher weight tier and then it's 22.50

I was on the fence for a while for this because of my love of all things Tron, but at the end of the day I just can't get over the DSA profile (which I've tried and just can't get comfortable on). If you ever do a run of this in GMK, I'm 100% in. The novelty keys are some beautiful work.

Good luck on the GB!

I broke out numpad so that anyone getting the roadkit would have the option to go numpad only. Base+numpad=100 ;)

Impressive start, I'd say. Especially considering there's been no GB thread yet (right?) - I still need to buy a set for the waifu, just need to think whether or not I want one for Alps on top of that, currently have your MiniVan kit on order with quiet Matias but that one's coming with the 40% version of the set already. Need to get my hands on some sort of 60-68% alps board but it's hard to do that when I can't solder and have no time/patience to learn.  :-X Hopefully something assembled comes up eventually, always nice to have back up sets regardless!

V60s come up on Massdrop from time to time and usually offer Matias options.  I'm itching to put LightCycle on mine.

I actually wasn't aware of that board was produced with Matias switches as well, I'd only seen the MX/Gateron version - it looks great, also in stock on MK for like $100 so I'm pretty sure I'll just buy one there and then get an alpas LightCycle once I place my second MX order. Thanks for letting me know, I appreciate that very much.

By the way, what's the MOQ for this again? I can't remember if you mentioned one, pretty sure it'll be hit regardless considering how many sets have sold already, just curious.

100 is the moq. I'm pretty confident it will hit. GB post has been created just need a mod to approve it. I guess I'll have to pm a few more

So I recently decided to give Matias tactile switches a try, despite the fact that the only keycaps you can get for them are cylindrical, which I simply refuse to type on. I was working all day today developing some renders of various DSA colorways for the KBP 60 board that I ordered because I desperately want to put DSA keycaps on it, and I figured if no one was going to put together a GB, then maybe I would.

So imagine how thrilled I was to learn that this lovely set was being offered with ALPs (Matias) stems. Then imagine my horror when I saw the MOQ was 100.  :'(

So yay! on the set design, and yay! on the Alps consideration, but boo! on the MOQ.

And before I add my (probably futile) order for an Alps set, will there be any issues with stabilizer compatibility with the KBP 60?

No there should not be any issues with stab compatibility. The moq seems high but I think we will make it.  We made it on Massdrop for the minivan set.  If it gets close enough I can buy the extra slots

Edit: essentially everyone should just order the sets they want and not worry about moq. I work very hard to make sure everything makes it and the only obstacle is not ordering out of fear that the moq won't reach.

Wow that looks cool. Lucky I have extra light blue leds lying around.

Apologies for the lack of novelty keys in the render. I whipped that render up in a couple of hours last night. I didn't have time to recreate the novelty shapes.

I'm sure thesiscamper can provide much better images, but hopefully that one gets the idea across in the mean time.

I think I was one of the first to order a full set. Does that mean I get the light cycle neon sign as well?

This is a photo of my desktop at work. This Lightcycle set will go on a KBP-60 that will replace the Pok3r on the left.

Damn your affection for blue is on point! Especially that SPH-Blue. Do you get it from Round 4?
Title: Re: [IC] LightCycle DSA FULL Keyboard Keyset
Post by: zslane on Wed, 05 October 2016, 12:39:51
That is indeed Round 4 SPH on my daily driver at work. I had to buy it used from a previous owner because I missed Round 4 (I didn't stumble upon mech boards until last summer).

I didn't realize until I fell in love with the Space Cadet keyset that I had such a strong love for all things blue. It led to me putting together the SA Dasher/Dancer group buy because I saw that there was a tragic paucity of sets with blue alphas.

Just out of curiosity, how come the novelties only appear on one 1.25u key each? The bottom row modifiers mirror each other (aside from FN/MENU), and so having 1.25u novelty keys in pairs is usually the norm.

To offer a wide variety of sizes with fewer keys

Maybe I should add a couple more

Well, if it's not too late to add them without changing the price, right?

Adding one each of the 1.25u Rectifier and Identity Disc keys would make the most sense.

Personally, I'd rather have a blue on black Tron-themed key set but this is tempting.  The more I look at this set, the more nostalgic I get.  Kudos, evangs.  zslane, it's interesting to know that I was a fan of your work before I knew I was a fan of your work.

Was just skimming through the artisan section and found these wrist rests,

How cool would that look with the LightCycle? God damn. I'm 100% going to buy one of them to go with the set, I just need to figure out if I want it to be sized for my MiniVan or WhiteFox.






...Guess I'll just get two. Fml.

Haha I should've known! Do they look good in real life? I've been browsing the person's work and he seems to be very professional, I tend to dislike those "glossy" looking wooden components but his are actually very classy looking still.

Do you remember what the turn around time is by any chance? I sent in a contact form but I guess I won't be receiving an answer today given the time.

It looks great IRL.  Took a few weeks to get it but it was well worth

Thanks yo, going to be placing an order as soon as I receive an answer from him/them then! Think I'll just get the two sizes I want, price is reasonable and it's gonna look too sick with the lightcycle.

That wrist rest looks slick. I just can't get into wooden wrist rests though. I need 'em to be soft and squishy otherwise my wrist bones get sore by the end of the day.

I believe Evan mentioned it should take about 2 months; think it's somewhere in the order page on his website too.

PS: Found it, "NOTE: This is a pre-order meaning that once orders close on October 17th, 2016, the bulk order will be placed with Signature Plastics. Estimated production time is 6-8 weeks."

Yep, 6-8 weeks, shipping before Christmas is the goal. Also moq isn't anything to worry about. I'm buying remaining slots to reach moq so everything will be produced

Sad to get the refund email. Then I read the "pre-order cancelled" page.
The subset splitting/pricing problem seems solvable to me. And I really want this wonderful keycap GB to carry out.
Is there any way/plan to reopen the GB some time in the future?

I'm sorry to hear about the bad news, as I've been looking forward to pimp my keyboard up!

This is by far the best looking set out there. However, i understand your concerns and situation and I fully support it. Thanks for investing your time and money into this.

If there is a way to redo the group buy for the same date, keeping the same delivery time but re-do'ing orders, i'm sure that most of us would be up for it!
