That is the correct approach. We can now afford to do this, and will -- after we get the tiny little retro GB moved through the pipeline.

Strelok · « **Reply #153 on:** Wed, 20 February 2013, 00:35:16 »

I want these a lot, but I already spent all of my money on other keyboard stuff.

I'm in. May I ask about the cost of shipping to Japan?

Matt3o · « **Reply #157 on:** Fri, 22 February 2013, 12:37:41 »

should be around $24

This keycap set is dye-sub PBT and SP's spacebars are ABS, so color-matching the spacebar is an issue, and will be discussed in this thread and then decided and announced as soon as possible.

Colors have been discussed and decided. They are shown below. For the people with color rings, they are GTF, WCS, and VCD.

what is the current price?

That is the quote for the raw plastic sitting in bags and boxes at SP. So add bulk shipping, sorting, packaging, shipment to the group-buy member, etc. We will have to individually QA these sets, since the keycaps will be in ELVISH.

The order form still says that orders close on Jan 15, 2013. I filled it out for a set anyway, so I hope orders are still being taken. These are really cool caps!

I do hope the space bar is going to be the same color as the 37 keys, not the same as the mods.

^I wonder what your girlfriend would do if you placed the DSA Retro order I placed.

If she doesn't understand your desires, do you really want her as your girlfriend?

we must close the DSA retro first. This will stay open for a little while.

Cool, but the light colors look identical to me! I'm sure it's just my crappy Dell screen at work, but how close are those two shades?

Excellent! Those two colors are supposed to match!

The set will be cream PBT "alphas" and green PBT mods. The spacebar must be ABS, so we picked a cream we could match to the "alphas".

This will be a special, single-configuration set. 87-key ANSI plus two extras so you can mix or match tildes and pipes. (Not that they will HAVE those characters!) So just the 89 keys.

However, I might consider offering a standard 10-key pad in matching plastic if there is enough interest.

We designed one. Do you mean a key that says 'escape' in Elvish? Or a key that says 'Esc' in matching plastic?

merijn · « **Reply #182 on:** Fri, 08 March 2013, 08:51:31 »

I'd like "Escape" in Elfish the most. Or just another symbol, no offense for GH, but I just don't like to have that on my keyboard

My sentiments exactly.

I have a 60% board so I am just going to use the key with the tree on it if I order, but 'Escape' would be cool.

Tarzan · « **Reply #185 on:** Fri, 08 March 2013, 10:48:17 »

"Escape" should just be a picture of a ring.

So our thinking was that if Elron was designing a keyset, the last thing he would add to it would be anything of or from Sauron.

One keycap to rule them all. Every time you hit Esc you get a little closer to Sauron.

esoomenona · « **Reply #188 on:** Fri, 08 March 2013, 12:32:24 »

Well, if we did it in DSA or SA you could buy as many as you wanted and put them anywhere you wanted.

esoomenona · « **Reply #191 on:** Fri, 08 March 2013, 14:44:03 »

Unacceptable. Not expensive enough!

That was a little joke, btw. Do they make DSA in PBT? That may be cool to have.

I'm pretty sure it's $109 for the keycaps, and shipping is extra.

SP PBT is expensive in low quantity.

eRadicatedZomBiE · « **Reply #198 on:** Sat, 16 March 2013, 13:57:08 »

yea that's a little bit more than I wish to spend on a set. Although they look amazing, I just can't bring myself to buy.

Tarzan · « **Reply #199 on:** Sat, 16 March 2013, 14:18:23 »

With any luck, once the Rain Drop and Toxic GBs wrap up, people will take a flyer on the Sindarin set and help to drive prices down. Either way, it's a cool set, I think it would look boss on a board with a dark green anodized case. That's my plan, anyhow!
