[IC] QWERKeys B Series Set

[TDub]

I think doing only part of the none 1x keys in B series would look wierd. I think it would make more sense to offer full set of modifiers from thier regular keys, which matches the color of the 1x B series we are ordering or a color combo that works well with the B series colors we are ordering.

That way we would have one complete QWERKey set with all 1x keys being B series. What do you guys think?

small problem MOQ of qwerkey mods is 100 and i dont think im going to hit any where near 100 sets.

[TDub]

Mmh yeah I figured that would be a problem  Well we could always hope that one of the GB for Qwerkey mods comes through and they start offering them on their webpage. The other option would be to create a B series set that works with Qwerkey modifiers currently under discussion in one of the other QWERKey threads. Or we could talk to sleabo and ask him if he has an idea for a good solution on how to turn this into a full set ( or if it is even possible ).

I just feel these keys are really unique and will look awesome and it would be a really shame to mix them with other keys that don't fit .

[TheProfosist]

What do you mean by dont fit?

[TDub]

I mean color wise. If we have a nice set of B series keys and then all the 1x keys from some other none QWERkey set, i think it might be hard to find keys that look nice in combination wiht the B series on the same board.

Which is why it would be cool to have the none 1x keys from QWERkeys too, even if its not the B series, bc the colors would match.


To be clear I want a set either way but it would be cool to have matching none 1x keys.

[TheProfosist]

The keys from sp would be made to match as close as possible by getting a sample from qwerkeys and comparing to a color ring from sp, at leat that is my plan at the moment.

Getting a few samples of coloured "B" keys off QWERkeys maybe the only way to step forward.  Once they are in, then we can proceed forward with "SP" and their similar coloured Modifiers.

It'll be a risk but it will be worth it to get these keys.

[TDub]

One simple combination of SP and QWERkeys could be black base & white font SP mods (like the ones the offer right now on their webpage), with black base dark red center and white infill for the B series. I think that could look really cool.

One possible issue though
If i remember correctly sleabo said the B series is all the same height, while the SP keys have different height depending on the row right? Not sure if this is really and issue or if it doesn't make that much of a difference.

Please not red-white-red, not another RA

[fl0w3n]

I'll be watching this as well.  Not sure how I feel about the same size all across the board...

Anyone capable of doing mockups?  I wanna see what a full set of B series would look like...

Yeah I'd love to see a full set of Bs as well.

[danielucf]

When I got the lambda group buy in I did a full keyboard of them and it felt really weird. That was the thick series, "K" I think.

[Sifo]

lol yeah those huge spherical ones. I couldn't imagine typing on those.

well you can order the single powerbutton keys from qwerkey I was just thinking of ordering one or 2 then comparing to the SP color ring.

yes b series are one profile and SP does have a line of one profile caps I believe though idk if anyone has ever ordered them though even if we got them there is no guarentee that they would be the same profile as the B series. now wether or not we can get them in correct modifiers is the question i wouldnt know without contacting them if not the SP set would have to be their normal DCS profile and would only match in color.

Please not red-white-red, not another RA

this would look completely different in my book but if not that what is your suggested color?

I would like to see this as well and possibly with that doubleshot modifiers matched up just to see the possible out come

[tjcaustin]

You know, looking at the picture of that f row/number row with the RA2.0 stuff, I bet it would look good with the RA2.0 red mods or the red cherry stuff that's floating around, too.

Just as an idea, of course.

Or if more people would prefer: do a blue/white/blue in prep for the upcoming CCnB stuff or green/white/green to match the CCnG.  (I'm saying this as full input sets to use with mods people may currently have to help with finding good looking modifiers.)

[TheProfosist]

I was thinking about offer the b series set and then the mods as an add on andone know off hand what moq would be for mods from SP?

[pasph]

Purple on medium gray, red on purple, yellow on green, blue on sky blue don't know...something different
I know...not usual don't sell

[MechKey]

Interested in red on white ones.  Last picture.

[TheProfosist]

Just got word back from Sleabo there is a MOQ of 15 sets whether we do 72 keys or 86 through them.

[Binge]

That shouldn't be too hard to fill that minimum 

Gimmie gimmie

Would love the full 104 for num-pad love.

[TheProfosist]

Ops forgot to post pricing, this is what i got via email:

Hi

a 72 set would be £75 per set, MOQ 15 sets

an 86 sets would be £85 per set, MOQ 15 sets

thanks

Dan

[TDub]

Just to clarify: 72 = TKL, 86 = fullsize?

Both only 1x keys of course right?

[Elrick]

Just got word back from Sleabo there is a MOQ of 15 sets whether we do 72 keys or 86 through them.

Damn only 15 required.  The 86 is my main INTEREST.

Need to select the colours that are currently available.......... has he posted the names/numbers of the new colours yet?

yes 72=TKL and 86=FullSize
only 1x keyd from QWERkeys

Also so far the most interest has been in the Red/White with Red Etch. Not that it for sure is going to be selected for the groupbuy but it would be nice to have a mockup of it at least then people request other color schemes.

What do you guys think should i start getting in contact with SP about the modifiers?

Didn't Ragnorock already run a complete RA2 Group Buy involving them? Why would you have a Group Buy going for Red on White again?

Maybe I'm the only one that knows that............go figure.

I dont think anyone has done a groupbuy with the b series keycaps and the only reason that Red/White with Red is currecntly at the top is because that is what people have shown interest in I think a mockup needs to happen before people will show interest in anything else.

[chrono000]

I agree get a image done!

[TheProfosist]

I agree get a image done!

If i knew how to do that sort of thing i would have had one done ages a go

[TheProfosist]

Alright since I have no skills in the mockup department i have thrown out a plea for help, hopefully someone capable responds.

[nullstring]

I'd love green-white-green.

[TheProfosist]

Im working on getting some mockups as we speak.

[Elrick]

I'd love green-white-green.

Ditto......I'm with him as well.  Green, green glorious green. 

[samwisekoi]

First-pass Red-White-Red layout.  I will expand to TKL and 104 later, and THEN will do some other color options.

Enjoy!

Awesome, nice job, and thanks for doing this for my little groupbuy.

[samwisekoi]

I believe this was the Brunswick Green you were looking for.

 - Ron | samwisekoi

[TheProfosist]

Nice a full set!

[Elrick]

I believe this was the Brunswick Green you were looking for.

 - Ron | samwisekoi

THIS IS IT......  I desperately want this baby.  The Colours are perfect and Sleabo should easily be able to make it happen just like what you've shown here.

I think this one is far better looking than the CC&G's.........there I said it.  Expecting a lynching to happen soon. 

Let me know the cost, will be buying at least two or maybe three complete sets.  And it needs to be delivered to my door as fast as.

yes he should easily be able to make the 1x keys as for the larger than 1x I believe we still are going to have to go through SP

Lol, CC&G isnt may favorite...

cost so far per 1x set i believe is £85 at a MOQ of 15

[tjcaustin]

Dang, I like that more than CCnG, too.  I wouldn't even mind getting all but shift/enter in this for my pure or the upcoming 60% phantom

[samwisekoi]

I think this looks a tad better with tilde and the two odd numpad singles in Brunswick Green to match the rest of the perimeter.

 - Ron | samwisekoi

p.s.  I know that this is a B Series thread, but if a set like this could be made in Qwerkeys' normal profile, I'd be in for one.

[tjcaustin]

Would you mind doing a dark blue version mock up as well?

[samwisekoi]

I wouldn't even mind getting all but shift/enter in this for my pure or the upcoming 60% phantom

My thoughts exactly.

 - Ron | samwisekoi

[edit] Sorry; the tilde key is mis-labeled as "Apps".  Imagine a world where it was corrected.  [/edit]

[samwisekoi]

Would you mind doing a dark blue version mock up as well?

Sure.  Blue, Midnight Blue, or Royal Blue?

 - Ron | samwisekoi

[edit] Went with Midnight Blue. [/edit]

[samwisekoi]

OK, after staring at this keyboard for several hours in all sizes and colors, I must say that GREEN is the big winner, IMHO.

Especially in the Pure.

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

 - Ron | samwisekoi

[tjcaustin]

I like both.

I was also hoping we could run the GB with two colors for the exact reason I mentioned; as I want my pure to be my blue period board (blue switches/led/cable/caps/case) and the baby phantom to be the same idea in green.

IRL viewing might be different, but I must say that making the mockups it was very hard to distinguish between blue and green legends on the white faces.  Red was very distinct, but not so much the darkest green vs. the darkest blue from Qwerkeys.   Frankly, I had to zoom to 400% to be sure I had made the change.

Since all the mods will be from SB anyhow, perhaps we could get the Qwerkeys three-color with Midnight Blue or Brunswick Green sides and their Black legends.  Then the SB should be "matching" dark blue or "matching" dark green with white legends.

I'll do a couple of quick mockups.

Just a thought.

[tjcaustin]

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...

yes it does look better would probably be hard to add 2 more caps to SP when i ask about pricing.

yes that is true I would have to get a new quote from QWERkeys then but now that we have the mockup it should be hard to explain what were looking for.
