[IC] QWERKeys B Series Set

[TheProfosist]

Could we expand the [IC] question to include J-series as well? http://www.qwerkeys.co.uk/pages/keycaps-info

 - Ron | samwisekoi

No I believe there is already a groupbuy going for their standard keys this groupbuy is specifically for B series because of their distinctive look.

[TheProfosist]

Well, if enough people want, we can get all but shift and enter keys in matching B series, too.  I don't know how goofy that would look, but considering that for 60% keyboards, that's two keys total...

If that would put mods on the shelf for purchase from qwer it would be a good thing for everyone...

Mods from QWER have a MOQ of 100 period. and i don think this interest check is anywhere near that...

Ah, wait. I'm in the other Qwerkey GB threads already. I just went back to their website and see that the awesome triple-shot plastic is only available in B-series.

I don't think I'd like to touch-type all day on them, but they would be awesome on a 60% board.

The SB profiles would have to be carefully chosen.

 Count me in for a set in Green.

just though I should clarify that Bseries is not triple shot just double with etch +infill

[samwisekoi]

Yep. Got that.

Tri-color?

They are awesome, however.

Yea would you mind doing a green mockup with the just the 2x and larger keys (stabilized keys) being DBL shot ones from SP someone brought up that idea and im just wondering how it looks. I dont think it will look as good as the second revison of your fullsize but we wont know until we try.

[TheProfosist]

I think for the SP caps we are going to need DSA

Sure; easy.  To be clear, you want all the <2x keys in green-white-green?

 - Ron | samwisekoi

[edit] Here you go.  It looks better than I expected.  I think the numpad "dot" should still be green with white legend, however. [/edit]

 - Ron | samwisekoi

yep as that is the most prefered color currently.

[samwisekoi]

Wait.  Did I get the Backspace wrong?  (I have no proper keyboards here to verify.)

yes you did backspace is a 2x cap

Qwerkeys' K-series would work and be easier to color-match.

If only they could do mods...

 - Ron | samwisekoi

[Sifo]

I'm pretty sure they can do their K-series for mods, but your pricing will be a little weird.

[TheProfosist]

O and caps is a 1.75x key so that one shouldnt be a all green key.

[TheProfosist]

That is correct that QWERkeys can do mods but to my knowledge we have to hit a MOQ of 100 which i dont perceive us hitting.

I really like this.

To clarify, do we have to have 100 full sets to do this or 100 keys?

I'd like a blue/white/blue as well (if you don't mind doing two sets, of course), unless it's 100 sets, then I'm not entirely sure that's possible. 

Additionally, please don't think I'm trying to co-opt things, I'm just giving out ideas liberally.

[tjcaustin]

I thought MOQ was only for B series caps.

At least, that's all that mentions requiring an MOQ on his website.

[samwisekoi]

Fixed.  Looks less good, IMHO.

 - Ron | samwisekoi

[tjcaustin]

It loses some of the uniformity.  Maybe keep the caps lock a normal DS?

[TheProfosist]

The MOQ for just 1x keys for b series is 15 sets for 86 keys which would match this mockup at what I got the quote so far for from QWERkeys.




No there is a MOQ of 100 for mods it was mentioned in a thread where they were looking for a complete k series set.

yea there is no moq for mods on the website because mods arnt even mentioned on the website only 1x keys are listed.

[tjcaustin]

Ahh, well balderdash!

Do you think we could get 15 people that want blue/white/blue, too or do you want to just have to deal with the one option for now?

[TheProfosist]

i think in this interest check we just make the 15 MOQ we might be just over if everyone that has shown interest wants the green as many people said they wanted red-white-red which I agree is too close to RA.

[tjcaustin]

No worries.  Maybe next time, then.

Of course, I may just fall in love with CCnB whenever it decides to get made and let it be done with that.

[TheProfosist]

Besides color we have to also decide on which layout to go with. I would probably pick from one of the 3 below (preferably #1 or #3 as it simplifies ordering ever so slightly):

#1


#2


#3

[samwisekoi]

#2 for me.

And with just an extra "shorty" shift key, it would go nicely on a Pure.

#2

Show Image

I want this one.  It's the most striking and I love having a little more Dark Green everywhere.  I just love Green above all else.  It almost reminds me of an Industrial Green used in Drilling Machinery.  Very masculine and tough.  This is NOT a colour for Nancies or Sissies.

[TheProfosist]

Well I just thought of something we could do both number 1 and 2 easily enough as we just need to order more caps from SP to make #2 work instead of #1. And I already have the quote for the QWERkeys part of #1 as well I could move forware on that as soon as we had 15 people interested in a single color.

As for the short shift and im sure people will be interested in other addons they can be done pertaining there is enough interest. I would really like some more input than just the 3 of use though as we do need 15 orders minimum to make this happen.

[TheProfosist]

Also though id make sure but the gree you guys are looking at is the one that they used for the power keycaps in post 2 right, if so thats a good thing as it will be relatively easy to get a sample cap then to match the colors for SP caps.

I used Brunswick Green from the Qwerkeys color chart.

 - Ron | samwisekoi

[tjcaustin]

Make that four for number 2. 

EDIT: For some reason, my brain wasn't processing correctly and it just realized this is a $120 buy.  I may have to tap out on this for now...

[Scoliosis Jones]

My feeling is the more b series keycaps, the better so number 3 if it is doable.

also, red white red is out of question?

as for the green I think brunswick green is too dark compared to the model we see in the intial to the images, nah?

anyway, just to say i would be mainly interested in red or a lighter green.

cheers

[Scoliosis Jones]

ok forget about the brunswick green, its the same as in the first page. That being said, only green would be possible on this run?

cheers

[TheProfosist]

well me need a MOQ of 15 for each color we do.

[danielucf]

why no layout where "~`" and "|\" are the same color as the the alphas?

[Sifo]

They won't be able to do |\ in B-Series so it would look really weird.

[Binge]

#2 for me 

[TheBackgammon]

Up for a set! either #2 or #3 would be great.

[Scoliosis Jones]

well me need a MOQ of 15 for each color we do.

then put me in for a red white red one

fingers crossed

[samwisekoi]

Where are we so far?

 - Ron | samwisekoi

[dreamingftw]

I would be interested in red and white also.

[TheProfosist]

We have enough in red/white/red i dont think we do on the green I also need to contact sp about their part in this.

[Binge]

104 in Green!  the thought is so exciting 

[TheProfosist]

Anyone know where i can make a poll for this? Or if someone want go ahead and make one

[Binge]

Thought I could help with this in my own noobish way.

nice job

[Binge]

At the risk of sounding worried the blue-crew is pulling ahead in votes, but at least people have good taste and are going with Layout B.  Where are all of the votes for Green-White-Green?  I was positive I saw more people eyeing up this thread a week or so ago 

[TheProfosist]

We need more votes and more people period
