This is the official order thread for Center Stemmed Caps Lock Key with Cherry Legend. That is correct - a stepped caps lock key that will be compatible with Filco/Rosewill/DAS etc.  I have worked with SP to design this key, and they have agreed to cover most of the tooling cost and making it available to all furture buys.  Both Black and White will be produced, if they hit MOQ of 50.

Legend is from R3 moogle buy and the Cherry legend project


Color Options:
White on Black - Cherry Legend (WFK on NN) Matches Hashbaz Moogle
Black on White - Cherry Legend (NN on GAW) Matches Hashbaz Moogle
Cream on Green - WSYE Legend (WCK on VBQ)

Melissa did warn me that there is a concern the first shot area may interfere slightly with the MX switch (i.e. it wouldn't rest fully on the bottom of the switch), but only by about 0.010".  (FYI a grain of salt is about 0.020")



White(WA) on Green(VCJ)

In!

Melissa did warn me that there is a concern the first shot area may interfere slightly with the MX switch (i.e. it wouldn't rest fully on the bottom of the switch), but only by about 0.010".  (FYI a grain of salt is about 0.020")

Uh so… means what exactly? o.O

[i3oilermaker]

In!


Uh so… means what exactly? o.O

It means this has never been done before, so it may not be 100% perfect.  With the tolerance levels she is quoting though, it seems like if it is off, it will be a little more than the width of a hair off.

[Zehkul]

Tell her to keep an eye on the stem, that’s important Their new space bar fits well, too, so I’m not that worried.

Looking forward to this key. :-)

[i3oilermaker]

Also - The tooling on this will take 5 extra weeks, prior to production so I will likely keep orders open a bit longer than usual since there is no rush to close. 

[1391401]

So basically the key that I never use on my keyboard other than the few inadvertent hits here and there may not fully bottom out but will probably still actuate the switch?  Sign me up.

[dorkvader]

That's okay. I'm impressed with the length of time on the tooling.

Is that a picture of a cherry capslock key? I ask, because the edges look sharper and more cherry-like than SP.

Yes - the picture is of an actual Cherry key.  If anyone has a good picture of a SP key please post it and I will update, but the legend should be very close to the Cherry key.

[demik]

you are the hero GH deserves.

[i3oilermaker]

Updated OP with orders and count.

[sth]

Ordered!

[jdcarpe]

This was worth waiting for, i3, you sly devil. Count me in for 5.

[hashbaz]

They should end up looking more or less like this.  It's the same legend as the R3 moogles.

[Elrick]

Yep just Ordered.

Put me down for 8 of these fine pieces.  Well done.

[i3oilermaker]

Quickly approaching 50

[i3oilermaker]

Added Option for White Key....If we hit 50 its a go.

IF YOU HAVE ALREADY ORDERED PLEASE PM ME UPDATES

[boost]

Im in for this..

[1391401]

So wait... we're not redoing that legend?  It's all jacked up... wasn't the point of the Cherry Replica project to have Cherry Replica or are we satisfied with another Comic Sans WYSE?

[i3oilermaker]

So wait... we're not redoing that legend?  It's all jacked up... wasn't the point of the Cherry Replica project to have Cherry Replica or are we satisfied with another Comic Sans WYSE?

I would direct that question at hashbaz...should we re-do the legend, or was this already fixed?

[hashbaz]

The gif 1391401 posted is not a moogle caps lock.  I believe it is from the black tsangan kits that were run on kbdmania, which used a different legend than the moogle order.  I did a significant refinement pass over all the new moogle legends and my caps locks look significantly better.  1391401, can you make another comparison gif with the image in the OP?

Adjusting the legend will introduce more time and money and uncertainty.  That said, I'm always happy to have a chance to improve the legends, within reason.  Boiler, let me know if you want me to do another pass on the legend in light of the finished moogle keys.

[MMB]

So this will not be using the new Cherry legends?

[i3oilermaker]

So this will not be using the new Cherry legends?

Wrong - look at OP.  These are the new Cherry Legends

[hashbaz]

So this will not be using the new Cherry legends?

The moogle legends *are* the Cherry legends, my good Meatball.

[silat]

So these colors will match the moog kits just ordered?

[i3oilermaker]

So these colors will match the moog kits just ordered?

Yes

[1391401]

Sorry if I was a curmudgeon, looking at it again on my PC at home it's much much closer to the pics of cherry Caps Lock keys that I have

[Glissant]

Don't really need a bunch of these, but I wouldn't mind owning one of each .

[shawn o]

Ordered two of each.

[DanGWanG]

2x White
2x Black
----

Can I pick up local? =)

[metafour]

I'm intrigued by this but I'm concerned with SP's track record with the doubleshot legends. Considering the tooling for this has a more dramatic affect, since mistakes can affect the ability of the key to work in addition to aesthetic issues. Is there going to be a prototype that can be tested by you before the production run is started?

The time frame is already so pushed out due to the tooling, but I will check with Melissa if a prototype (even with the wrong legend) can be made.  I would hope they have a mechanical keyboard there they could test it on but again, I will inquire.

[i3oilermaker]

Boost had a fantastic suggestion to add a CCnG stepped caps.

Added it to the form, feel free to PM me to update your orders.

Only gets made if 50+ are ordered.

Heh, I wouldn't trust them to test it properly.

[AKIMbO]

CCnG...I'm in.  Form submitted for one CCnG stepped capslock keycap.

[metafour]

You should set the form to not reject empty quantity fields but assume the amount is 0 instead. =)

[WRXChris]

in for 2x white, 3x black, and 1x CCnG!  Thanks for making this happen, i3, and glad to see SP is starting to embrace our relationship!

[Glissant]

YGPM about order change. Got to include that CCnG .

(What the crap is this 60 second post thing xD).

[ZcHuer]

errrr...I've gotten a question, are they double shot?

[Autolyze]

Yes, they're doubleshots!

[inlikeflynn]

order submitted! thanks i3oilermaker =)

If these numbers get up there enough, maybe a WYSE option one as well?

[i3oilermaker]

errrr...I've gotten a question, are they double shot?

Affirmative.

[shawn o]

How about a Dolch color one? A WYSE one? That would cover all the recent Moogle kits.....

[i3oilermaker]

I don't want to dilute the numbers too much with too many options.  I will do a round 2 if these keys are a success.

[ZcHuer]

in for 1x black, 1x white and 1x CCnG :-) with my shipment address in both English and Chinese filled in the order form.

[1391401]

Ordered!

Assuming CC&G will still be cherry, or will it be WYSE like the set?  Don't care regardless.  Thanks!

[rainb1ood]

I ordered one of each. Thanks for adding white and CCnG

[skeaono]

I'm in, assuming CCnG has Cherry font instead of WYSE font.

[i3oilermaker]

I'm in, assuming CCnG has Cherry font instead of WYSE font.

Will be cherry font

[jellowiggler]

ordered CCnG!

[hashbaz]

I'm in, assuming CCnG has Cherry font instead of WYSE font.

Will be cherry font

Wait, what?  Why?  It won't match the sets.
