Sounds good to me.

Djankie · « **Reply #51 on:** Sat, 19 January 2013, 15:49:12 »

I signed up.

btw, could you update the total order?

GMC · « **Reply #52 on:** Thu, 24 January 2013, 01:13:25 »

Sorry. Personal circumstances changed and I need to cancel my order for now.
I'll sign up again when this is due, only if I have the funds and can pay up at the time though. Too uncertain right now.
Sorry for any inconvenience.

Updated OP. We are at 35 total sets, including 18 in Orange on Gray!

Time to do some calculating to see if we've hit MOQ to make the molds.

Could we get a mockup of the intended size of the legends then, before we commit?

Sure thing. I played with some sizing, and found 80% to look best. Here are some sample images.

Original prototype keycaps (actual photo.)

Legends reduced to 80% of original size (mock-up.)

Yes, reduced much better! I'm in either way though.

No money is due until we have enough people committed.

This set is pending processing for the just-closed retro set. I will update the OP accordingly.

Count me in for one Red on Black set.

Already filled out the Google form.

JmactheAttack · « **Reply #62 on:** Thu, 07 March 2013, 11:39:49 »

Is this group buy still being offered or has it closed?

samwisekoi · « **Reply #63 on:** Thu, 07 March 2013, 20:12:32 »

I have been distracted by Retro DSA. Time to look at this again.

this thread's klaxon number is 0
hash will check, but i believe that is a new record for a non-klaxon thread.

WarNutts · « **Reply #65 on:** Sun, 10 March 2013, 12:36:27 »

wow those charcoal and orange ones are so sick. to bad i dont have volume keys

wish they would make a full set inspired with those colors

rindorbrot · « **Reply #66 on:** Sat, 06 April 2013, 05:07:42 »

Any news here? I guess since the DSAs should be ordered from SP by now, you might have time to finish this one here.

samwisekoi · « **Reply #67 on:** Sat, 06 April 2013, 10:07:39 »

I am trying to get Elvish and special mods out of the way now. I may be able to bring this one into the special mods GB, but without that, this buy hasn't built up enough interest to pay for all seven legends. So far, anyhow.

This was a personal project because I wanted individuals and other group buys to have access to these legends even after the first buy. So I will get this one done somehow!

As they say in software development, 'soon'.

damorgue · « **Reply #68 on:** Fri, 10 May 2013, 14:04:13 »

I actually believed these would be way more popular. Kind of sad about that.

phetto · « **Reply #69 on:** Fri, 10 May 2013, 14:36:09 »

Yes pretty sad.

On the other hand, qwerkeys have media keys in B-series up on their site now - http://www.qwerkeys.co.uk/shop/index.php?route=product/product&path=59_64&product_id=81

Thanks for trying at least, Mr Goldfish!

metalliqaz · « **Reply #70 on:** Fri, 10 May 2013, 14:37:03 »

I hope these get off the ground, I added support for media keys to my firmware in anticipation of using them!

i3oilermaker · « **Reply #71 on:** Fri, 10 May 2013, 14:40:07 »

Honestly, I think for this to be a success we need to pick one color and go with it.

That's great! Those were my designs; I had Qwerkeys do the prototypes, and they did really nice work. They are expensive, especially if you are not in Europe. Also, WASD has them in OEM-height lasered-ABS. Unicomp also has them for buckling-spring/Model M keyboards

My goal was to make these available from multiple sources including SP, so we could also get them in Cherry profile and with other group buys.

Yes. I agree. I think WoR would be best to start.

rindorbrot · « **Reply #73 on:** Sat, 11 May 2013, 03:54:17 »

Why not go with the color that has the most orders? Orange on grey would be that? Or maybe like the top two colors?

JaccoW · « **Reply #74 on:** Tue, 25 June 2013, 01:00:18 »

Only just now saw this groupbuy. Would be interested in a set of black keys with white legends, maybe more colours if prices dropped.

IcyEyeG · « **Reply #75 on:** Sun, 27 October 2013, 14:31:17 »

I hope it won't be too much of a problem bumping this, but I just submitted an order for Gray keys with Orange legends, hoping that this groupbuy is still on... Is it?

Tracer · « **Reply #76 on:** Mon, 03 February 2014, 11:33:20 »

I'd be ok with these http://www.wasdkeyboards.com/index.php/products/keycap-mod-packs/media-shortcuts-cherry-mx-keycap-set.html#ad-image-0
but the orange on gray is just too good to let this GB go. Any chance we can resurrect this?

heedpantsnow · « **Reply #77 on:** Mon, 03 February 2014, 11:54:10 »

I'd do Orange on Gray as well. Can we resurrect it?

ioXt_2 · « **Reply #78 on:** Mon, 03 February 2014, 20:38:52 »

Nice keys! I will resist for now.

jufa · « **Reply #79 on:** Thu, 06 February 2014, 09:47:04 »

Black Keys with Bright Orange legends...wondered what it would be like

rindorbrot · « **Reply #80 on:** Fri, 07 February 2014, 06:01:26 »

Yes! Resurrection please. I still need those keys.

samwisekoi · « **Reply #81 on:** Mon, 17 February 2014, 18:40:52 »

What? Really? I have the prototypes on all my in-use keyboards, and really thought it was a good idea. But the numbers never added up.

I could toss them into the new SP group-buy thingy and see if they can rise from the dead.

Should I?

rindorbrot · « **Reply #82 on:** Tue, 18 February 2014, 00:27:52 »

Try it!

tbc · « **Reply #83 on:** Tue, 18 February 2014, 01:00:55 »

i know this is supposed to match with cherry profile.

but i'd be in if in DSA or SA profile on a black base (legend color is completely irrelevant to me)

I know many people will get their Honey Spherical sets soon so SA would be sweet.

It isn't. I am quite sure it is meant to match DCS since it is from SP.
