Double shot replacements ROUND THREE: Vote for Kits & Quantities!

[7bit_vote]

1 1/2-sized Modifier kit

• CONTROL, ALT, SUPER, HYPER, META and CAPS LOCK

    (1.5 sized keys for ancient keyboards)

• additional modifier keys could be added.

One-Half-Mod is actually more useful than just for old Cherry boards. It also fits:

Noopoo Choc
Razer Black Widow
all iOne boards

since those use bigger 1.5 sized mod keys :)

ps:coming up next: revised version of the Standard kit.

[Soarer]

These keys mount in both directions on top of 2 switches, so specific vertical blanks would make no sense.

I will add a vertical ENTER in top-row profile. Please notice, that none of the keys in the DCS-family are entirely flat!

Do you intend that key for the left or for the right hand side?

I'm confused... if they're not flat, why doesn't it make sense to have a vertical blank key? (Should I go RTFM? )

I was thinking of keypad area, so right hand side, basically enter and plus positions or one row up from that.

Whatever's available though :-)

As you can see, row 4 is the flattest of them all, but still not exactly flat (0 degree).

I recommend it to be higher on the outside and lower on the inside.

Standard kit

• 104 US-layout in black/grey-color-scheme with white labels,
• cursor-keys without arrows: UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT instead!
• Numpad 0-9: no arrows, no text, just numbers only (in grey)
• CONTROL and CAPS LOCK (both, stepped and normal)
• 1 1/4-keys: 2xALT, 2xSUPER, 2xCONTROL, META, ALT GRAPH
• GEEK HACK keys in both colors
• cursor-keys with arrows
• un-nubbed versions of F, J, and 5

Someone asked for a black |\ button, but I don't know if I should put it into the Standard kit or one of the Modifier kits. (all others are over-full!)

So that convex profile (far rhs) isn't just for spacebars?

Really I was hoping they had a specific mould for double height POS keys, but I guess it's too specific. :(

The only alternative would be a vertical + or Enter key from the num-pad. I don't know if there exits a version for 2 key mounts. Those mentioned have 3 key mounts!

[mkawa]

It was part of the original lineup,
but I had never time to make a layout.

Now, here it is:

Modifier kit

• RUB OUT and SYMBOL (stepped and un-stepped version)
• 2xHYPER, META, FUNCTION, COMPOSE,

    2xCOMMAND, 2xOPTION, WINDOWS, and a blank (1 1/4 sized)

• BACKSPACE, LINE (at Tab or |\-position)
• additional modifier keys could be added.

Please tell me if anything is missing. It is not over-full!

ps: next to come: One-half Modifier kit for the old Cherry G80 keyboards.

on the contrary, is there any way we could make this kit smaller and reduce the price?

[7bit]

I said it is NOT over-full! ;-)

If you want the price reduced, just order more of these!

As stated before, I will support the price of this kit (ie take as many sets necessary to make sure the per set price will be $18).

If it where only me, we could wave the following keys:
FUNCTION, 2xCOMMAND, 2xOPTION, WINDOWS

BTW, I asked all who subscribed to this kit some time ago, and the outcome was that none of these keys could be thrown out of the kit.

[7bit_vote]

Just finished the majority of these:


If you want the whole bunch for verification (ie comparison with the layout schmes),
 just give 7bit a note.
Tell him, if you want to get PS or PDF files.

Please report any errors here!

I will ask for a price quote based on the current quantities and these graphics above. Then we collect the money.

Nevertheless, it is always appreciated if you take more!!!

Now I just see my mistake! Row 1 is the flattest, for sure. I still count the rows from bottom to top, starting with 0, because that's the way I entered the data.

Sorry for the confusion.

Some wanted a troll face:



I think, it would be suitable for double-shooting. Just needs someone to make the SVG-file...

[verbel]

I am pretty excited about this.

[hfcobra]

link to the TROLLFACE SVG file....someone just need to take some of the small details out of it to make it look more like the troll face on the guitar in the previous pic.

just google "troll face svg"   click on the first link, that is a good file

EDIT: this is a direct link to the file   http://i.feureau.com/trollface.svg

i dont have any photo editing software or i would do it, also, i dont have anything other than a web browser to open the SVG file.  

[7bit]

That design would need to be simplified to meet that .2mm requirement I bet.

I think that face above would would work out quite well (I mean that on the guitar). Just needs someone who wants it so badly, that he takes the effort to create the SVG.

This is verbel looking excited.

Woha!

How they look excited!!!

I will show this, when someone asks what 'excitement' means.

PS: I bet the left one did him in, and the other drove the car.

Don't mention it. We probably should have someone who actually knows what he is doing have a look at it though... Quite sure that I made some mistake(s)

yea lol, but it does look amost the same as the one on the guitar so i dont see why not.  Unless the eyebrows need to be a bit thicker, we shall see when 7bit checks it.

OK, so there will be a trollface.

Just have to figure out, in which color it should come.

Don't know what you used for doing it, but I threw out all the white stuff (in emacs again) and got the face as shown.

The SVG-file only contains the black stuff shown in the PNG above.

PS: There are no license or copyright issues, aren't there?

its a bit hard for anonymous to copyright something   XD

and for colors....black is a must for me since my keyboard will be. i dont mind if the keycap is black or if the details are black, either one is fine.  I think red keycap with black trollface....or black keycap with white trollface.

[sixty]

You should start moving all these silly 4chan keys into a special set. You can include a Capslock key that says "COOL CRUISECONTROL" or something too. Maybe make change "F5" to "MOAR" and I'm sure it will be a bestseller.

There you go.

OK, I will put MOAR into the Function kit and that 'COOL CRUISECONTROL' into  the Modifer kit.

How many will you take?

[sixty]

None!

[ynih]

Can't wait for this, just modified my request for MOAR!

[hfcobra]

i think i will be getting all of the 4chan themed keys except for the MOAR key, while it would look funny as a F5 key, i just dont like it as much as the other keys.  Am really looking forward to getting these though, they are all very cool and thank you so much for doing this and taking the time to get everyone's orders with all of the requests of new keys.  

also, is there any demand for an all black set of keys instead of a grey set of keys for the standard set?  If something like this happens again then i will definitely be getting that but right now i only have extra money for a new keyboard from EK for a Leopold.

[7bit_vote]

Black kit (orange text)...... $10 / 25 (BLACK)
Black Mod kit (orange text).. $32 / 25 (BLACKMOD)
Black Alnum kit (orange text) $24 / 25 (BLACKALNUM)


Mod kit contains no spacebar, choose spacebar separately according to your needs!

Alnum kit contains no keys which are already in the Black kit and might therefore be cheaper. I will update prices as soon as I have got the time.


Troll face
... unspecified color ........ $4 / 25 (TROLLFACEKEY)
... white on black ........... $4 / 25 (TROLLFACEBLACK)
... white on red ............. $4 / 25 (TROLLFACERED)

Keyboard key (SVG needed!!!)
... unspecified color ........ $4 / 25 (KEYBOARDKEY)
... black on red ............. $4 / 25 (KEYBOARDBLACKONRED)
... white on red ............. $4 / 25 (KEYBOARDRED)


unspecified color means: I take what ever happens. I will ask everybody about what they actually want before placing the order.

[verbel]

That design would need to be simplified to meet that .2mm requirement I bet.

The sad thing is I look about like that when I am excited....



If its an option I will definetly add a Black Mod kit to the stuff I already plan to get.

[bugfix]

The SVG-file only contains the black stuff shown in the PNG above.

So was it okay? :redface:

[7bit_vote]

Black kit
The "WASD-key with arrows" is a separate item and will cost $4 extra!


Black Mod kit and Black Alnum kit
These are 2 separate kits!
Black Mod contains all non-single-spaced keys and
Black Alnum contains all 1-spaced keys.

[7bit_vote]

[SIZE=12]Important![/SIZE]
I will finish all data sheets today!
I will send them off tonight (00:00 GMT),
to get a price quote from SP.

If you want some text-key added, tell me now!
However, corrections are always possible until production begins.

This does not affect those toyish novelty keys:
Send your SVG files in at any time until we place the actual order.

Thanks!

Black Mod kit and Black Alnum kit

Like it, but maybe better as round 4 so we could have optional supplementary kits based around it?

Last post cleared that up tho. I was wondering if we are still in the idea collection/voting stage or nearing the asking SP for definite prices phase.

Interesting ideas for novelty-toy-keys. Just send me the SVGs plus some color ideas and I include them into the price list.
ps: ^^^ looks very suspiciously SPish!
