I've had this idea in my head for a bit and wanted to put it out there and see what people thought. Now that the interest check has been going for awhile we are going to go for a custom color "Toxic" green that for now I will call "TOX", and GX for dark charcoal.
Here are some mock ups that Batmann made:
Batmann's mock ups are what the group buy will include, however there may be a couple minor tweaks to be made still.
The goal is to wait until the Cherry legends are complete, but if it looks like that will take too long then we may just go with WYSE font. The group buy (once started) will run until February/March time frame unless a slight delay would allow us to use Cherry legends. Just remember the longer the group buy runs, the cheaper the set should become, even the base sanctuary set got very reasonably priced while including new legends AND tons of extra keys.
I am also contacting local vendors here on geekhack to try and have a bonus pack of keys available for purchase to match this set. A couple vendors are already on board by sharing some of their double shot legends, and I'm waiting to hear back from other vendors as well. If you are a vendor and I did not contact you, feel free to message me how you might like to participate and we can work something out. The idea is to promote our local vendors which in turn benefits us all. So far
keypop.net has pledged to allow us to use their crossbones legend,
techkeys.us has pledged participation but we have not discussed legends yet (maybe center stemmed stepped caps lock), and
ZOMG Keycaps! has pledged the bio-hazard legend.
