Alright what I think are the final mock ups have been updated in the original post. We may do a version with Cherry font for comparison but that isn't really a priority right now since we are still waiting to see if we will use WYSE, Cherry replica, or Cherry from GMK.

We will add at least one more pack to include the vendor set of keys which at the moment I think will include keypop.net crossbones legend (possibly in both color combos), techkeys.us center stemmed stepped caps lock (also in both color combos hopefully), and ZOMG Keycaps! bio-hazard legend, but I need people to chime in on if they want just 1x size, or 1.25x modifiers as well. It also isn't too late for other vendors to participate in this set either.

Another set I was thinking about including was traditional and windows 8 keys of 1.25x and 1x sizes, and also possibly traditional menu key and/or "Fn" key.

Just a note about the changes I dropped some of the keys from the original base set to save on costs, and to make the Toxic set a little different. I also felt that the "tsangan" kit contained a considerable amount of extra keys so I essentially had it changed into the "winkeyless 1.5x modifier set" with KBT Pure compatibility also through the "~`" key and 1.75x short shift.

One last idea I wanted to throw out pertaining to when the group buy actually starts: I don't want to make money off the group buy, but Batmann has put in a lot of work making the mock ups, and I will eventually put in a lot of work sorting, packing, and shipping. Would people be upset if I built in the cost of two sets, one for Batmann and myself, as kind of a compensation for our time and effort? I just want to be up front and honest to ask and get everyone's opinions.

You have to do it!
It's really nothing in comparison to all the effort you put in this for us!

Are you going to put even spacebars as extras?

Fine by me.  There is a huge amount of time and effort goes into group buys - this seems only fair.

"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

I think this should just go without saying. If someone runs a group buy they deserve to have theirs covered by all of us. It'll such a minor additional charge for us anyways, not like we'd ever even notice.

Maybe someone could talk to mistakemistake and see if we can get an official toxic cable made for this kid. I think that if we were to order a large amount of cables that he could give us a little discount. This would just help those who want a 100% complete set with a matching cable. Just a thought though.

Judging by the pages of replies to this "interest thread", I would assume that there is more than enough people that are going to swoop these up.  Lets get this thing going, I'm eager to get a new set, and if it's not obvious, yes, I'm interested.

Gimme!

I want to wait for the cherry font project to complete, just in case we want to do it through SP. It sounds like The project is going to go ahead and move forward. At least, that's what my takeaway from Hash's last post in the thread was.
