[IC] White on Red (or reverse RA) base kit - Now named Klaxon
« on: Tue, 30 October 2012, 17:42:16 »
With the new custom order thing that SP has, I'd like a reverse (WFK on RDD) base kit to go with either of my two RA2.0 mod sets.  Even with only 9 other people, the price seems ok to me, but the reason I'm doing this is to see how many other people would like it, too.

So yeah, put your interest here and how much you'd like to spend.

Here's pricing - http://keycapsdirect.com/customized.php

I think the red was RBV or something. You'll have to ask Ragnorock to be sure. Is this just for the base set with no mods?

Anyway, I'm in for one. :D

i would potentially be in for a full set since i didnt get modifiers but i know that would effectively double the price so i'll just say GL for now :)

If there's enough interest in doing one or two of the mods, too, I have no problem essentially organizing RA3.0...

if you do please come up with a new name, it's confusing enough because the 'real' red alert is technically called red alert 2.0.
and do you mean doing red on white as well? i think a full-out white on red (no mod variation) would be really cool for some boards :)

Maybe 1 - 2 runs down the road for me.  Perhaps someone else can start this?

My original thought was to do a white on red input (base) kit to go with the RA2.0 white on red mods.

But then, I thought it'd also be cool to see a white on red base with red on white mods. I also read your comment as saying you didn't have the white on red mods.

I should make a googleform to ease confusion, maybe...

There could be a lot of interest in this.
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

That GB should be going up in the next week or so if I remember my PM to the organizer of that correctly.

I honestly don't expect to have this set in hand until 2013.

I've been wanting to run a white-on-red spherical buy for a while now- this will certainly make things easier.

Wyse buy colors were GSY for the dark grey, GBA for the light grey, and BBI for the fonts.

Added a googleform to track people and what they specifically want. The few that have already expressed interest don't need to fill form as I just defaulted you to a white on red base kit (and white on red mod for sth)

I'm curious about the sphericals as well. I ordered a spherical set from round 4, might be worth seeing how people react to those when they get them before organizing a group buy for sphericals.

I'd totally love a white on red, but sadly I don't use Qwerty so I hate the legends. :(

I'm hoping RA3.0 would be with Cherry font, good luck with this though, I'm sure you'll get enough interest. If I wasn't selling almost all my stuff to pay for having teeth removed I'd be in.

Depending on how speedy info comes in and if the people care to, it just may have cherry font.

Soooo, I just realized I messed up with my googledoc.  I forgot to put a spot for people to put their screennames in.

So I edited and cleared doc.  I also added tsangan kits now that they're easily available.  The ones that have already filled the document will obviously need to redo it quick for me.  Apologies for the mess up.

Just a note that (as of now at least) this new SP order form and price breakdown only applies to their standard font.

Google Form filled!

The timing of this is just fantastic! I missed the GB/didnt have the money for Red Alert and was biting my own ass for it.

Btw, did someone ask if the original red (iirc RBV) could be available for this? I wouldnt mind the sets having RDD as it will look fine, too. But it might be worth a try, since "Other color combinations may be possible - check with sales to find out if your desired color is in inventory".
No matter if it's gonna be RBV or RDD, I'd take 2 basekits, 1 modkit and a 17-key-kit, all red on white.

Hell, if this works, I'll even do the same thing with CCnG. 

There could be a lot of interest in this.

You guys are killing me/my wallet. Thank God there's not the right colors available to do this, yet.
:rolleyes:

As of today, numbers are as such: (WoR - White on Red.  RoW - Red on White)

WoR base - 7
RoW base - 9 (this caught me a bit by surprise)
WoR mod - 3
RoW mod - 2
WoR 17key - 2
RoW 17key - 2
WoR Tsangan - 2
RoW Tsangan - 1

We also have a name suggestion of Klaxon, which I kinda dig.  It ties nicely with the RA2.0 stuff from before while limiting confusion.

The numbers themselves are (to me) quite promising in general considering this has been up for a hair over 24 hours.  My preference would be to move this to a GB status when I have 20 sets of any 2 of the options.  Of course, input from veteran GB runners is always valued.

This is correct. The red will not match RA 2.0 sets. The white, however, will. (WFK)

I would say, then, that we still do this, call it Klaxon or whatever to make it clear it won't be a perfect fit with the red alert stuff and go on.  But do we keep it red/white or go with a different color (IE: RDD/GE or GX or GA) since it won't matter as much?

Great idea to make the difference to Red Alert sets clear by the name. But if you ask me, we should keep to the red/white color scheme, because we already have some interest in this (and, to be honest, because I would love this set so much!!^^).
Maybe other color combinations should get their own IC/GB because with the new ordering method at SP, hitting an affordable price tier should be possible. But thats just my 2 cents.

You can contact Melissa at Signature Plastics to ask about pricing for the WFK/RBV combo. Her email is sales@solutionsinplastic.com. I wouldn't go with RDD just because they say those are in stock.

If keeping the color pattern the same is fine with everyone, I have no issue with keeping red/white.

Melissa has been emailed and I await her response.  I'll fill in once I get contact back.  If we can get the exact red, we'll go with that, if not, I still want to do something to try the new system.

From Melissa:

TG-
You can order colors that are not listed on the website still online, just list the color you wish to order in the correct location. In regards to RBV, we do not currently have any in inventory, however we have an almost identical match, RDD, in stock (this has been used in exchange for RBV in some cases). I would recommend using the RDD for new orders at this point.
Thanks!

So it sounds like it doesn't really matter too much.  I'm going to run this as RDD/WFK once I get a handful more people on the form.

You know, considering that the reds will be slightly different, I think I'm just going to help with a group buy (I'm assuming I can't do this all on my own, that is) for white on red and red on white for everything.  The demand seems to be near equal anyways and it won't be too much more effort on my end.  A few more fill out the form and I'll feel safe making a group buy thread.

OH!  Also, what program/file do I need to be able to make my own color mock up pictures?

Yayy.. I'm in for Red on White Base Kit, White on Red Modifier Kit.

Black and Grey would be a great combination too. ^^

I guess someone thinks it's a horrible idea.  So horrible that he took the time to click my link and check no to everything, type no in the name column and write no for his name.  That's cool though, there are enough others that like the idea.

Almost as much as I love this SSK, gotdamn it's nice.

Are you going to use the standard SP legends or the WYSE ones like in the original Red Alert?

I think the new group buy stuff that SP does is only for their own font.

Absolutely.  At this point with the amount of interest I've received in such a short amount of time, all I'm waiting for is to know if I'm running this solo or if one of the more experienced group buy organizers are going to handle the money and ordering side of things.

If any vet wants to volunteer, I'm open for the help.  If they just want to offer insight and tips and let me run with it, that's fine, too.  I'll also leave things to a vote here as well.

Just a question, is it a problem if I live in Belgium (Europe).

thanks for that IC (and hopefully GB ^^)

Shouldn't be a huge problem at all.  I've had good luck with getting international orders taken care of but obviously your shipping costs will be higher unless we get a Euro proxy involved.
