If any of you guys have better poses or characters you'd rather see, toss up the suggestions, because I'm looking at the Immortal, Thor, Marauder and Colossi thinking they might be a bit more boring than the rest.

Edit: S'more thoughts:

So there's 16 keys in that set pictured. As you can might notice its a pshopped picture from Portal 2.0. That set was designed to go across the entire top of a tenkeyless board, so this would work just the same for the Esc row version. Unfortunately, even if one was to fill their entire ZXCV row and arrow keys, that only amounts to 14 keys. Is everyone fine with me just offering a set for each profile and the one for the lower profile has a couple of extra keys so that you can pick your favorites? I could offer two different sets, one 14 and one 16, but that seems pretty dumb tbh.

I think you should offer complete sets with all the designs that would work no matter if this means 15 keys or 20. Everybody can decide for himself what he wants to put on his board.

But you should try to reach a 1:1:1 ratio for the races. I'd like to put 4 Zerg keys on F1-F4, 4 Protoss keys on F5-F8 etc.

I ran into the slight problem of not finding interesting enough art for some of the races. Zerg has the cutest and funniest ones, so they were easy, but Terran and Protoss haven't been shown as much. I could swap the Pikachu ling for a Ghost or something.

However, I did get an email back from Carbot. The news isn't encouraging. He basically said no because he's in an agreement with Blizzard for merchandising, but I'm trying to talk to Blizzard and him further about it to see if I can finally get an okay from Blizzard to do this and other stuff.

That's unfortunate but we gotta respect that. But maybe you can work something out without doubling the prices for the keys...

And one more idea for a design:

What about rocks as an hommage to Dustin Browder

Ragnorock · « **Reply #52 on:** Fri, 12 April 2013, 03:53:14 »

Lol. I totally would too. It sucks because I respect Blizzard too much to do it anyways. I mean really they'd probably be cool with it, but as a company they have to say no a lot of the time.

TheQsanity · « **Reply #53 on:** Fri, 12 April 2013, 05:12:22 »

Blizzard has gotten pretty greedy. Since they've been sold to Activision. I doubt they'll say yes without making it very difficult for us.

CPTBadAss · « **Reply #54 on:** Fri, 12 April 2013, 05:40:48 »

Please please please do the marauder! I want my avatar as a keycap! And hopefully this goes through

Emmiya · « **Reply #55 on:** Fri, 12 April 2013, 16:30:41 »

Oh man, they are ****ing awesomely cute :3

I don't think many of them are that bad, marauder is boring imho, but the rest are fine.

I'd definitely buy a protoss set.(or whole set, depending on price per cap).

Joxx · « **Reply #56 on:** Sat, 13 April 2013, 08:52:03 »

I would totally buy those! :< Too bad Blizzard / Carbot probably won't allow it

Dany · « **Reply #57 on:** Sun, 14 April 2013, 05:47:19 »

Amazing keycaps!!

viowastaken · « **Reply #58 on:** Sun, 14 April 2013, 06:19:20 »

Very cool, I'd be up for at least the ling/ultralisk one

Zamorph · « **Reply #59 on:** Mon, 15 April 2013, 14:40:48 »

Hells to the yeah for this.

Ragnorock · « **Reply #60 on:** Mon, 15 April 2013, 22:20:27 »

Hey guys, here's a transcript of the relevant stuff in my post from the Imsto GB:

Quote

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.

I'll keep you posted if anything changes.

Thoughts?
Show Image

Only three terran keys and one terran/zerg? I think pikazergling should be a key by itself not in the set, and replace it with the ghost. Or 5 of each race and one shared. I also still think a spacebar that is a wide shot fight scene would be amazing.
Protoss - 5 keys
Zerg - 7 keys
Terran - 3 keys
T/Z Shared - 1

Ragnorock · « **Reply #62 on:** Sun, 21 April 2013, 22:39:27 »

Its not like its set at X amount of keys. We could have as many as we wanted... I just found it much more difficult to find interesting Terran images in my pshop efforts that day. I'm sure there's a good Ghost/Reaper screencap that someone could post. Zerg was way easy because they're all so cute.

None of that really matters anymore though since it now fits in the "untouchable outside of China" segment of keys we want. I talked to Imsto about it already and he said he has no interest in selling them because he finds them uninteresting.

Awwww....

danielucf · « **Reply #64 on:** Tue, 23 April 2013, 09:53:20 »

Does that mean these are a no go Ragnorock? Or just that he doesn't want to buy any to sell himself. Perhaps he will only make for you what he wants to sell?

Sleabo · « **Reply #65 on:** Thu, 25 April 2013, 04:41:03 »

We can do orders like this at QWERkeys now, please see website for examples

You would be willing to produce caps although the copyright situation is unclear?

I don't think this is a good idea for your business...

On the other hand I'd love to get these caps so go ahead

Sleabo · « **Reply #68 on:** Fri, 26 April 2013, 10:09:15 »

Thats why I said we can do orders "like" this

Joxx · « **Reply #69 on:** Fri, 26 April 2013, 15:49:09 »

How does it work if we want those carbots keys made?

EvilMochi · « **Reply #70 on:** Mon, 06 May 2013, 01:39:45 »

Would buy the crap out of those keys.

Ragnorock · « **Reply #75 on:** Sun, 12 January 2014, 00:31:38 »

So hypothetically speaking.... If I so happened to have a single run only of a handful (and I mean a handful, there are only 10, which is more rare than all but the rarest of clacks) of sets show up on my doorstep unexpectedly... who would go absolutely banana sandwich over getting one? I haven't even decided whether to sell them or not, but if I do the catch is that you don't go whoring them out in pictures posted on the internet because if Carbot sees them he will know exactly who to come looking for. If this is acceptable to you and you want them purely for your own enjoyment and not the bro approval from the internets, then send me a PM.

Dave out.

Sifo · « **Reply #76 on:** Sun, 12 January 2014, 13:45:16 »

I would maybe buy it, split the set and give them away to friends. But we'll see.

Photoelectric · « **Reply #77 on:** Sun, 12 January 2014, 14:05:21 »

~~Are they thick PBT variety or thin? I'd love a thick Zergling cap~~
I withdraw! Have plenty of nice DCS caps already from your GB

sublime · « **Reply #78 on:** Tue, 14 January 2014, 06:57:47 »

Down for at least a ling for sure!

tbc · « **Reply #79 on:** Fri, 17 January 2014, 03:13:55 »

i would kill for a derpling

Ragnorock · « **Reply #80 on:** Fri, 17 January 2014, 14:58:34 »

Just to clarify, these are a set only, are not going to be in any group buy ever, and if you want one, you need to PM me.

Monophonic · « **Reply #81 on:** Fri, 07 March 2014, 03:47:33 »

Can you do a set of a Zergling, Marine, and Zealot?

fart_toast · « **Reply #82 on:** Fri, 07 March 2014, 04:24:50 »

zergling, marine, zealot set YES please. Is there a form for this order?

tbc · « **Reply #83 on:** Fri, 07 March 2014, 04:29:06 »

guys, this is NOT happening.

read the last few posts; they explain everything.

once again, DON'T expect to be getting a set.

Lipton · « **Reply #84 on:** Sun, 23 March 2014, 01:27:32 »

I'm in too!

Only question is will those Dyesub PBTs fit on a WASD V2? I noticed that those keycaps seem to be on the thicker side

.... oops PM sent
