I don't know if I would want to go through the hassle of setting up a group buy. I was just interested in setting up something for myself. But, like I said, I don't know that a single buy is even possible, in which case I would set up a group buy. I have never set up a group buy before, however, I'm sure I can count on the assistance of you helpful geekhacker's with experience if it comes to that.
How long do orders take to both make and ship?Where besides SP can I go to do something like this, (SP has a min of 10 orders, I think)? I know about GMK, but you need massive orders, I'm not interested in that.
Profile:I think everyone prefers cherry right? TBH I don't really care, one is just closer to the base. SP has something like DCS profile, I haven't put too much time into researching it.
Plastic:PBT only. I know dyesub is the only option right now, however there has been chirping all over about double shot PBT on the horizon, which would be awesome.
Color: I was thinking of something inspired by the "Red Alert" but not in red. Possibly something like "cool mint", do you still have to include "Alert" to pay homage to the inspiration? I don't know, "cool mint alert" just doesn't roll off the tongue very well.
Another scheme that I liked was mocked up a couple days ago by a new geekhacker, its white on grey. please don't get mad at me for referencing this pic, it's from "reaper":
http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=38236.0I also liked the "coffee cream" or whatever they were calling it in the interest check: Sorry I can't find the link anymore, do a search, it looked nice.
One last color scheme. I like the combination of "Dark Grey, Light Grey, and Orange" mixing keycaps and fonts of course, but don't have anything mocked up. You'll have to use your imagination, just like on the "cool mint".
Not interested in:Font:Elvish Font, or any other crazy stuff. I'm an adult and don't want to be laughed at by my wife. "Elvish Font" is a real thing, I've seen it here on this forum. Not mocking you, it's just not for me.
Crazy colors:Someone on this forum, ie. not me, has called it "unicorn vomit". This is actually pretty descriptive. Again, I'm not mocking you, but this is also not for me. I only want two to three colors, four max, and likely not going to happen with four.
Group Buys:I have a few keyboards to fill, so I will likely take place in a couple to see how the process works. I like the Toxic set that's up right now. It's not my favorite, however, the guy seems very organized and it seems very likely to happen, so I'll probly pick up a set of those for sure, I like the base set.
I also liked that "coffee cream" or "coffee bean" or whatever they were calling it. it had three colors or so, but was done very nicely. If they go into group buys, I'll pick one up as well.
After writing this, maybe I just want to start a group buy. Is anyone interested in any of the colors I proposed? I know there is no mock ups right now. Is there any free online software or a tool at WASD or something where I can mock something like this up?
