Awesome idea
Post by: gadzkun on Mon, 02 January 2017, 06:46:51
are the alphas white? I suggest you get another color for the legends? maybe cream? :D
Awesome idea
cream alpha and red/brown/dark green legend :p

Maybe you can make an artisan to match it? XD

Definitely do this

Is the spacebar a different color than the alphas? Other than that everything else looks good!
Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk
Yes. The alphas are a light cream and the ESC, Return and Spacebar are all a darker cream.

Do you have the color chips/codes decided? I think I like the colors, but with the KLE-style render, I can never be sure if I really like it. I have good feelings so far, tough.

I will change the alphas to a more intense(?) cream colour and see how the red/brown/dark green legends go :thumb:

The Enter key should come in two varieties, alpha cream and wafer brown.
I like it. :)
EDIT: Have you thought about profile? Might I recommend 1-2-3-3-3-4? Recently sets have been running in 1-1-2-3-4-3 and it's a little odd because it eschews overall keyboard usability in favor of the Alphas being profiled. I think my suggestion is as usability friendly as you can get.

Most excellent. Though, now it really looks like a slightly different SA Jukebox.
Maybe (and this is just a suggestion) you want to layer the colours like a wafer would?
EDIT: Just so you know, unless in direct sunlight, TAA looks black. TBN is probably what you want!

I think each row maintaining a single colour is a good idea. As it stands it looks a little jarring and confusing.

If you get enough interest to sell the kit, you should try and contact ZealPC and see if he would be interested in having you run the buy through him or have him participate since he loves his green tea kit-kat!
Good idea :)

Have you thought about profile? Might I recommend 1-2-3-3-3-4? Recently sets have been running in 1-1-2-3-4-3 and it's a little odd because it eschews overall keyboard usability in favor of the Alphas being profiled. I think my suggestion is as usability friendly as you can get.
I will hopefully run this set in 1-2-3-3-3-4

Same here! I personally don't like 1-1-2-3-4-3 profile

Colour wise, keep them simple and grouped for alphas vs mods.
Post by: clappingcactus on Tue, 03 January 2017, 15:05:29
Yum. I love kit kats too so I'm so in. This is perfect cuz I've been needing to get a hold of SA key sets to try out the profile haha.
Colour wise, keep them simple and grouped for alphas vs mods.
By the time this arrives at your doorstep, it'll be June 2018. I'm not kidding. There's about a 1 year lead time on manufacturing and shipping, and this is still in the planning phases with group-buy leaders/ordering lined up.

DSA and DCS two-shot sets - 8 to 10 weeks depending on the size.
nvm, I somehow thought this was DSA, confused it with https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=85623.0

Yeah I'm aware of the SA backlog haha. I'm in no rush. That just means I have time for me to spend money on something else for my keyboardYum. I love kit kats too so I'm so in. This is perfect cuz I've been needing to get a hold of SA key sets to try out the profile haha.
