Does he personally encourage it or care if we did make caps? Or does he have no interest in giving the okay himself? Does he even have a say?

SmallFry · « **Reply #501 on:** Fri, 12 April 2013, 18:31:10 »

Wait a second, if the ZXCVB row keys are SP profile, then they would also fit in the bottom row? If so, could I get an Eagle Scout one?

Here's the original text of Carbot's reply. Make of it what you will:

Hi Dave! Love your enthusiasm. it's really refreshing, and the key caps look awesome, great concept idea. Baneling must be the delete button, lol. unfortunately, we won't be able to do this though. I'm actually in the middle of an agreement with Blizzard for things like this. well not key caps specifically but merchandise. but thank you for the support and keep up the great work!

Its a pretty concrete no. As in no don't do it. However I'm trying to see if I can get permission from both parties or at least some clarification as to what is fair use of their IP and what isn't.

You've got my fingers crossed for something to happen! I hope this somehow gets a greenlight. Thanks for your efforts to try and get these designs in though~ Really appreciate it :3

Ragnorock · « **Reply #507 on:** Sun, 14 April 2013, 01:14:17 »

Just wanted to pop in and say good job guys, 9 new orders since I reopened it. That's looking a lot better than it was earlier.

I sent Carbot another email since he never replied to the first. Odds are he's ignoring them if he doesn't respond soon. If so that sucks.

cannedlemons · « **Reply #508 on:** Sun, 14 April 2013, 18:14:29 »

I sent in an order in and shall await for the news on the carbot stuff along!! :3

Surnia · « **Reply #509 on:** Mon, 15 April 2013, 20:46:03 »

any updates with the R1 order forms? waiting on those to order!

Ragnorock · « **Reply #510 on:** Mon, 15 April 2013, 21:02:18 »

For now I'm going to go ahead and publish the form without the Carbot keys. I mean yeah we're doing the same thing with a lot of the keys that are in the Imsto group buy, but seeing as how I really appreciate Carbot's contributions to the community, I don't have much interest in doing it until I can get an "I don't care" or more out of him. He hasn't responded to either of my replies and today was my deadline for waiting. However I've still been waiting on Imsto's list so I'll see what I can do about getting the form live tomorrow. Since it won't make a difference in having the keys made sooner (I'll be shipping them as soon as I get them no matter what) I may (read: probably will by another week to make up for the week lost) extend the orders a bit and collect money while the keys are in transit, perhaps even being made. (that's only if the amount unpaid is small enough that I can cover it if the buyers don't pay up.)

Sound good to you guys? I really wanted to do the Carbot sets, but it seems holding out isn't going to happen.

Ragnorock · « **Reply #511 on:** Mon, 15 April 2013, 22:18:22 »

Just a minor additional update:

Sent out some invoices for those that had submitted an order using the original order form. All orders on the form have been invoiced. If you haven't gotten yours, double check and send me a PM!

Dave out.

HoffmanMyster · « **Reply #512 on:** Mon, 15 April 2013, 22:29:39 »

I just received an invoice and have a question. I've read some of the concerns in this thread about getting permission from someone to make some of these keys. Is that settled, or am I just out of the loop and those aren't even for any of the keys here? Or is there still some concern? My only concern here is filling out the invoice before we have permission, but if this isn't an issue then I'll go ahead (and I trust that you wouldn't do that, just want to verify

)

Sorry, I'm new here, so I don't know all the lingo with names and whatnot so it's harder to follow.

Ragnorock · « **Reply #513 on:** Mon, 15 April 2013, 22:30:52 »

The only ones we have concerns about are the Carbot keys, which I just said I'm not going to risk doing. Everything else we're just going to go with "nobody cares."

I see. I think my confusion arose from not knowing what Carbot is. I don't see those listed (since they're not an option, I presume).

Care to explain what Carbot means, for the noobs? Sorry for asking silly questions.

Alright guys. New form's up: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1NWLDWTl7h_j03BinW4mNGj-BkQpHOWRD9O-rRqCr128/viewform

I'm updating and cleaning up the OP now. I included the Cowboy Bebop keys in the ZXCV designs because I think they'd make a great arrow cluster. Sorry but if you'd like to cancel/switch your original Pac Man or Bebop orders for the ZXCV versions I'm going to have to say no, as that is very counter productive to the goals of this extension.

New additions are the SC2 league logos, Imsto already has those designs made so its not any more work for him to do those. Here's a picture of them... I know its not the greatest but its what I could snag off of Taobao. There is also a SC2 Logo key. All of these designs will be available in the Fn/Esc row only.

There is also the Pac Man "Dot" key. Its nothing more than a blue circle, but several people wanted dots so here you go. Esc row only. You can supplement as many as you'd like to your existing sets.

Other than that, the rest of the form has the Pac Man Ghosts and I included a ZXCV version of the Fox key too.

I'm setting this form to close on the 30th, so you guys get an extra 6 days to order. I will most likely close the "Form 1" orders on the 24th as planned. Less work all at once that way. If this causes any problems say something.

Dave out.

You think we can get 10 each of those? If so, what color dragon do you want? Hopefully red or black. >.> I'll add them to the form right now though.
Edit: If you wait till tomorrow to respond to this, the answer is just going to be no because by then there will have been several responses and it becomes much more difficult to modify the form. Right now there are none so I can.

Go ahead and fill out the form. That's why its there. I'll be cross referencing with Form 1 to check who has already ordered so I don't double charge you for shipping in the 2nd invoice. I assume >90% of the orders for form 2 will be supplementary to the form 1 orders.

ZXCV version of Pacman facing right (rather than left like the ESC row version) would be very cool. Could use Pacman for the C key.

Having the Dot on ZXCV would be cool also so Pac could chase across row 4.

Ragnorock · « **Reply #536 on:** Wed, 17 April 2013, 15:35:53 »

Okay so here's what I'm thinking... I'll take the form down for a few minutes here in a bit, and I'll add the ASUS Republic Of Gamers key, and the Ducky YOTD key.

If you guys think we can get 10 zxcv dots I'll add it too, so post how many you want please. These things are really obscure and there's only 1-2 people out of the 100 saying they want it so... yeah. As for the Pac man I really am not feeling the idea of making Imsto do another Pac Man legend when all it is is flipped and the quantity will struggle to hit 10. It would be just as cool to take a left facing Pac Man and a couple of dots or perhaps a dot and a ghost for the <>? keys. If you guys can show me there's actually demand for them I'll add em.

Only thing is, I'm going to do it by just adding on questions to the end, so can I trust you guys to pay attention to which ones are Fn Row and which are ZXCV? In the current form there's only 1 switch between them, with the new one it'll go back and forth. I have to do it that way or I have to reorganize the response spreadsheet and that might break everything.

Sound good?

@ Rarar, your order has been cancelled, no worries man.

I could do them in a set for $20, including the SC2 logo key. I'll offer them both ways, because the goal here is to sell as much as possible to recoup the massive deficit I'm sitting in right now. There's only so many discounts I can afford to give at this point. I'll do that when I update the form with the other new keys.

Completely understood - not trying to dominate things or complicate this for you. No SC2 or Bebop for me - I am probably the minority on this one - and just happy to be along for the ride

I love the Ghosts as arrows and will buy a couple sets of those. I'd get a a Pacman in the ZXCV (use it on the ? key) and I'd probably get two ZXCV dots (for the < and > keys) running away from the Ghost arrows.
