Hey all,
I wanted to run a group buy for RGB-Y kits as they still seem to be in demand.
I propose 4 different kits:
RGB-Y with black legends for normal boards
RGB-Y with white legends for normal boards
RGB-Y with black legends for Korean and Cherry boards
RGB-Y with white legends for Korean and Cherry boards

The kits above, pending permission, will use the Cherry font and have diamond legends for the "super" key. There will not be any add-ons like the star keys or 1 unit windows keys. I will get the color codes and SVG's from Hashbaz and MBC in the near future. Please post your interest below.
Edit: I would like to make a little bit of money on this group buy for my time. I propose a $1 per set of which I will donate .50¢ of that to the Cherry project, thus I make .50¢ for my time.

SmallFry · « **Reply #1 on:** Fri, 05 October 2012, 21:40:02 »

I have decided on a few things guys!

I think that we will go with a Star key instead of the Diamond.
Also, I'm adding an Orange key to the table!
ISO "Kits" will be available. You MUST get two shifts with a kit, one black and one white legend. I am not going to split the sets.

Only six more months till you get your keys!

SmallFry · « **Reply #7 on:** Fri, 05 October 2012, 22:33:58 »

Heh. Hey Hash, could you send your SVG's and color codes etc over to me via PM?

litster · « **Reply #8 on:** Fri, 05 October 2012, 22:50:15 »

$0.50 is totally reasonable IMO.

I think by normal keyboards you mean 1.25x modifiers, like Filco, Leopold, Rosewill, Storm, etc. And by Cherry and Korean keyboards you mean keyboards with 1.5x modifiers. Both configurations I suppose will have long right shifts. You might want to be specific about them.

You don't need the SVGs. Just tell Melissa you want to use the Cherry replica RGB legends and she'll verify with me.

The red is RA, the green Is VCM, the blue Is BDH, and the yellow is YBP.

boost · « **Reply #11 on:** Fri, 05 October 2012, 22:56:30 »

I'm for white and black 1.5

Zarlek · « **Reply #12 on:** Fri, 05 October 2012, 22:56:51 »

Im in for White legend 1.25

Acetrak · « **Reply #13 on:** Fri, 05 October 2012, 23:01:26 »

Yes yes yes

In for at least one 1.25 set

danielucf · « **Reply #15 on:** Sat, 06 October 2012, 00:46:31 »

I'm in for a couple sets.

DanGWanG · « **Reply #16 on:** Sat, 06 October 2012, 01:09:38 »

For the Korean sets, you'll probably want to include a 1x1 key for keyboards like the Cheat or Phantom. They use 1.5x1x1.5x still. I've always liked the Star way better than the diamond...

tsangan · « **Reply #17 on:** Sat, 06 October 2012, 01:47:09 »

lol more RGB

jeroplane · « **Reply #18 on:** Sat, 06 October 2012, 01:58:33 »

You want black on white RGB, so where's the black and/or white going to go on the red, green, and blue keys haha

Oh I think he ment white and black, that makes more sense

The_Beast · « **Reply #20 on:** Sat, 06 October 2012, 02:38:19 »

I might be interested in a set, but I'm not 100%

eon · « **Reply #21 on:** Sat, 06 October 2012, 02:48:01 »

Totaly in if there is an ISO option (or included)

LOL. What's going through my head is that I wanted black legends to match my black on white Cherry set. Been typing "black on white" for the past couple of days in PMs so muscle memory or something. Fix'd.

jil_jil32 · « **Reply #23 on:** Sat, 06 October 2012, 03:59:59 »

Too many RGBY sets now T.T

And yes I want the Star keys much more than the Diamonds :3

Marclgw · « **Reply #24 on:** Sat, 06 October 2012, 04:05:57 »

Keen on one set each of white and black fonts if moq hit

metafour · « **Reply #25 on:** Sat, 06 October 2012, 05:06:59 »

Is YBP what hash used for his last GB or what mbc used in his GB? Either way I'm in for a couple of white on RGBY.

Hzza · « **Reply #26 on:** Sat, 06 October 2012, 05:20:48 »

Always in for RGBs.

metalliqaz · « **Reply #27 on:** Sat, 06 October 2012, 06:29:28 »

Im in for either white or black, or both.

In for 2 white legends 1.25 set.

simkev · « **Reply #30 on:** Sat, 06 October 2012, 07:16:41 »

For that price, in for one of each

Hzza · « **Reply #31 on:** Sat, 06 October 2012, 07:22:30 »

Als, requesting small right shifts and ISO left shifts like MBC did for his sets.

gameaholic · « **Reply #32 on:** Sat, 06 October 2012, 07:34:24 »

I'd like one with white legends to fit my filco ninja. If I could get them side printed that would be AWESOME!

Lighthouse1 · « **Reply #33 on:** Sat, 06 October 2012, 07:46:49 »

I'd be interested in a set of 1.25x with white legends, would really appreciate an ISO set as well though.

SmallFry · « **Reply #34 on:** Sat, 06 October 2012, 09:58:32 »

I think if I am to make an ISO set available I will make people purchase both the Black and the White legends to reduce costs of the ISO kits if that is OK with you ISO users.

jcrouse · « **Reply #35 on:** Sat, 06 October 2012, 10:03:24 »

I'm all in.

älg · « **Reply #36 on:** Sat, 06 October 2012, 11:23:20 »

In for one of each, if there will be a iso-kit.

eon · « **Reply #37 on:** Sat, 06 October 2012, 12:08:04 »

Fine for me to get the 2 sets if ISO shifts are included. Was going to take the 2 sets anyway

wiredPANDA · « **Reply #38 on:** Sat, 06 October 2012, 12:38:21 »

In for a couple. Missed out on all the older RGB runs.

yuiop · « **Reply #39 on:** Sat, 06 October 2012, 12:52:53 »

I'm in for some white legend sets. Can't have enough RGB's.

Acetrak · « **Reply #40 on:** Sat, 06 October 2012, 13:05:11 »

Just to clarify for the price...it's not actually $1 per set right? My understanding that it's $1 on top of each set, which SmallFry is only keeping half, the other half is donated.

I'm still in for sure, but it sounds like people are talking about it like it's $1 for a set

hashbaz · « **Reply #41 on:** Sat, 06 October 2012, 14:14:13 »

Lol yeah it's not $1 per set guys.

Also, if the ISO option doesn't work out I have some leftover green ISO Shifts with white legends from my RGBY group buy.

oneproduct · « **Reply #42 on:** Sat, 06 October 2012, 14:38:53 »

Could I suggest something? Why don't we make a ninth key to replace the Menu/Meta button on the keyboard between right windows and right control? I always find it unusual to have an RGBY kit that covers all the lower modifier keys but that leaves the Menu key on its own and looking really out of place next to the brightly colored keys. Orange comes to mind as a good color as it fits between yellow and red.

Personally right now I'm using two different yellow tones from different RGBY group buys. Would be nice to have the Menu key using something other than a diamond though.

Slavfot · « **Reply #43 on:** Sat, 06 October 2012, 16:36:35 »

I'm in for one of each plus ISO

I was thinking that too for my RGB-Y kit! I've been wanting to do that, but now that I seem to be the GB leader, I can! Thanks for the reminder.

^You guys are correct, I meant that I was going to add $1 USD per set, half of which was for my time (and new boards

) and half for the Cherry Replica project since they're allowing me to run a group buy with their legends.

megaforce · « **Reply #45 on:** Sat, 06 October 2012, 19:30:48 »

I'd be down for a set of the regular legends (both black and white print).

chaosstep · « **Reply #46 on:** Sat, 06 October 2012, 21:24:30 »

Ok. I take part in this GB.
Maybe 3 or 4 Sets in each type.

Yes, this is a great idea! I always thought a shade of purple to match the other hues might work too. Purple and orange are the other two secondary colours missing in terms of RYB.

SmallFry · « **Reply #49 on:** Sat, 06 October 2012, 21:59:14 »

I'll have to check and see if there are any nice purples/orange. I am slightly biased towards orange, but I'll entertain purple as well. The purple may be too dark when I have the black legends.
