I'll attempt to make some approximate mockups of the RoG mods soon. I'm pretty sure you guys don't want to go with anything darker than GCF, but I'll mock them up and let you debate it. The RA 2.0 mods were on GAL, which is even lighter than GCF. Going with GA, GE, or GX is in the wrong direction.

Appreciate it man, I'm sure a lot of us will feel a lot better seeing the actual colours in action as opposed to the samples <3
I'm not too fussy as far as it goes to be honest(hah, bet it seems like it with how much i'm spamming the thread). I originally voted for GA, but with some of the more experienced members saying it's too light, i'm personally leaning towards something darker now.

I suppose we should just let the experts do what they do best and go from there

Morning update is complete.

jdcarpe · « **Reply #252 on:** Thu, 20 December 2012, 09:24:00 »

Okay, here are the mockups with the RoG mods. The colors aren't super accurate, since we don't have pantone color codes or even RBG codes, but it's what I could do with the color picker from a photo of the greys on a color ring (kbd holic's photo).

Original RA 2.0 (GAL)

Light grey (GCF)

Medium grey (GA)

Dark grey (GE)

Nice mock up!
I'd be happy with any of the greys and would buy which ever gets voted on, however, if we're voting I will go with GA or GE. I know GE is likely not going to happen, but I like it. Maybe someone can do GE and orange. Would it be possible to mock up a GA GE keyset with orange font? or maybe GE and a lighter grey?

What tool did you use to mock these up? You really did a good job, they look great.

There can be, but again, need 10 people interested in them. As to which gray, I'll leave that to the 4 people that have expressed interest to decide what they would like by the time invoicing happens.

I used GIMP to edit Batmann's mockup file from the OP.

^ with little illustrator skills you can recolor in no time with no contour issues
I'll try my best to make my wiki about it during hollyday

And also I love the RoG mods (preference for the lighter shade of gray)
I'm not sure I'll have the money to afford it this GB

Nice, thanks man.

Emmiya · « **Reply #261 on:** Thu, 20 December 2012, 14:18:07 »

I like them all with the exception of GE. In order, i'd probably say GCF>GAL>GA. However I would be happy with any of the colours.
Thanks jdcarpe, mockups looked awesome

Leewei · « **Reply #262 on:** Thu, 20 December 2012, 14:28:00 »

GCF > GA > GAL
No to GE =)

danielucf · « **Reply #263 on:** Thu, 20 December 2012, 15:37:46 »

If GCF was the original "grey" color in the Red Alert that Ragnorock ran then in real life when it arrives it looks beige, like khaki pants, which is more like a light brown color. GAL looks like a super light grey that would almost pass for off white. GA actually look like a light grey, and I am wondering what they used for the original Korean Red Alert because I thought those modifiers actually looked light grey.

jdcarpe · « **Reply #264 on:** Thu, 20 December 2012, 16:01:59 »

RA 2.0 used GAL. SP lists GCF as "in stock," which is why I used it for the light grey/beige.

gbohn · « **Reply #265 on:** Thu, 20 December 2012, 21:06:01 »

> RA 2.0 used GAL.

Yes, my Post #215 shows a scan of my RA 2 modifiers with "GAL" colored bodies. It is "warmer" than a neutral gray.

BLJ Consulting · « **Reply #269 on:** Fri, 21 December 2012, 16:06:29 »

GA on the left, GCF in the center, GAL on the right (color chip only)

GA+RDD

GCF+RDD

jdcarpe · « **Reply #270 on:** Fri, 21 December 2012, 16:11:09 »

Thanks, Ben! Who needs mockups when you have actual samples.

Would you be able to show both samples next to some RDD on WFK keys?

BLJ Consulting · « **Reply #271 on:** Fri, 21 December 2012, 16:26:22 »

sorry i dont have those keys with me, i'll get you a picture when we are back on the 2nd. i was hoping the white paper and black sharpie could provide some shade perspective but i should have known better. just go ahead and order each set, you know you want them.

jdcarpe · « **Reply #272 on:** Fri, 21 December 2012, 16:56:12 »

Haha. Thanks a bunch, Ben. You guys at SP are awesome.!

nebo · « **Reply #273 on:** Fri, 21 December 2012, 17:03:18 »

Went ahead and pulled the trigger on this. Going to need some nice caps for my phantom whenever that goes through. Are there going to be any extra keys possible (such as a 1x fn key)?

KuhnTang · « **Reply #274 on:** Fri, 21 December 2012, 17:17:04 »

I definatly like Ga better. It looks like the other color is too close to white.

Again, not even a problem if we don't get 5 more people.

Vintage · « **Reply #275 on:** Fri, 21 December 2012, 19:39:47 »

Hmmm.... yeah I personally think that the GA would look nicer. But I probably won't go for RoG, due to price.

Saving up money for a Klaxon set!

BTW, I thought I saw TJ say earlier that these will be ordered in February. Is that rue?

cytoSiN · « **Reply #276 on:** Fri, 21 December 2012, 19:52:39 »

I assume you mean you want two of the same base kit? Or one of each?

At this pointy ou might want to consider creating a new form or some other method for people to add extras to their existing orders, and to order multiples on new orders.

You might also want to consider adding the next price point to the base sets on the OP.

Good job, Sir. My hat is well and truly off to you!

tjcaustin · « **Reply #283 on:** Sat, 22 December 2012, 15:32:16 »

I thought of that, but next price is at 150 orders and is like a $3 difference.

And with the people that have wanted more than one order, so far it's been easy as they've either PMed me or made a note of it in the comments section.

Shadovved · « **Reply #294 on:** Sun, 23 December 2012, 08:47:58 »

jdcarpe · « **Reply #295 on:** Sun, 23 December 2012, 08:53:49 »

I think the next price tier would be $23 for 150. After that, you're looking at $22 for 200, and $21 for 250.

Next two tiers added to base. I'm shocked with the responses, btw. I wasn't expecting it to be anywhere near this popular.

And I haven't put this on any other forum, either. I wish we could get GMK pricing already, too.
