Hey Dude, nice to see you here. Hope this'll help you to spread and develop your design further. Really want to see this thread growing and watch 808 become reality.
For that sweet renders, you could reach to some of the guys in the community to help you with (for a commission) if you want. Names like thesiscamper, oblotzky, janglad and many other amazing artist, these guys made delicious renders of keebs.
Might not be a proper introduction considering I'm fairly new here but, welcome to GH!
Voted for this! Really love the colors. Would be nice to have a Mac kit and a Colemak/Dvorak option though.
Mate even if your design doesn't win the contest, please pursue this as a normal GB. Not only is it a great colourway and interesting arrangement I am a particular fan of all the old school synths and drum machines and NEED this for my studio :cool:
I haven't received any messages from massdrop so I'm assuming I lost. :p
The response to 808 is encouraging enough to keep working on it though. One major element of the set I wanna take another look at is the profile. Initially I was convinced DSA was the way to go, but after seeing it in GMK, I'm leaning in that direction a bit more. Thoughts?Show Image(https://imgur.com/Nnxo7F6.png)

What would be your preference for 808 and why?

I personally enjoy typing on GMK a lot more than DSA. One big thing to consider though, is whether SP or GMK has colors similar to 808 that you can use. If not then there are likely additional charges for custom colors and a higher MOQ as well.
Might be worth starting a proper IC thread in the Interest Check forum and see what the rest of the community thinks about it.
heyo I agree but haven't had the time to put my best effort forward. That said, it would be great to restart a conversation about what an 808 set could/should be and see where it goes. As some time has passed since my original idea was put forth, I've thought about scrapping the whole retro-wave aesthetic for something cleaner, or basic. I am also agreeable to work with someone of like mind who could see this set through to GB phase, or even hand off the reins entirely.

...but I could see the rainbow colours as part of the modifier keys though, or the numbers. Similar to the programming buttons on the 808
You might try to contact SP directly. With that new profile, they'd probably be looking for some unique sets to run themselves.

Worth a shot. I'll poke the bear and see what happens.
