[IC] PuLSE SA Keyset (GET YOUR WALLET! - GB LIVE SEPT 8th 12:00 PST)

[MiTo]

A good reading about SA arrow cluster
http://deskthority.net/group-buys-f50/spherical-cursor-key-profile-the-poll-t6761.html

Nicely done, great find! I think we are going to the right direction then, with a full Row 3 arrow cluster. I'll swap the colors when I get home, though.

[MiTo]

If you guys need more novelties on a specific row, let me now. Somebody on /r/MK requested a Row 2 extra Esc key because of the Poker II layout. Just let me know in the next couple of days.

Great you're offering extra 'novelty keys' because this is after all Geekhack  .

Be fully aware though that 'if' the prices start rising on these then we'll see who are the real lovers of this key-set design and whether it'll indeed tip in time.  The 'Nuclear Set' is cheap hence it's numbers have increased substantially and it looks like an easy tipping point to reach.  The main reason for this would have to be the low price point that offers a whole set of keys to fill 80% of standard keyboards out there.

You'll need to decide whether you want to appeal to full on customizers or newbies wanting to decorate their keyboard for the first time.

I think the answer here is balance. The extra novelties will not rise the costs as much because the pack is pretty cheap. I don't plan on designing more or new novelties, because I think they are not needed. I want to see if people have any suggestions about their profile though. Also, the Base Set prices are a huge attractive already and the SA profile chosen, its a great addon to the set. Clearly, PuLSE seems a good choice to collectors, typists, gamers and enthusiasts. It's also a nice choice for first timers.

Instead of adding the Row 1 Esc keycap (for 60% users) I think it's right to add a 60% Stripe Pack to the keyset. It's gonna feature an entire number row on row 3, specially for the 60%ers.

Can you just include this extra ESC keycap in the novelty pack so the costs will stay low?  How much will this stripe cost?

I think it's a good idea to add the ESC R1 keycap do the Novelties and offer a 60% R3 Stripe separately, at the same time. I need to add this Stripe because some 60%ers may want to give a Row 3 look to their number row, for the looks and for the Clacks, and I'm estimating something like $10 for this Stripe.

[01111000]

Ok, I see what you mean now.

Another suggestion:  please add the ability to purchase blank keys like what we can currently do with the Nuclear group buy that's currently active on PMK.  Here's a link:  http://www.pimpmykeyboard.com/deals/nuclear-data-green-old-skool-sa-row-3-keycaps/

Might be a little more complicated than what's going on with that set because I think that set uses the same profile for all rows.  I think offering Row 3 blanks would be great.

[Elrick]

I want to see if people have any suggestions about their profile though.

You've done the DECENT thing and chosen the SA Profile, enough said here  . 

Anything else would be absolutely nasty and deplorable, so glad we have another GB organizer that's seen the light of perfection.

[sakai4eva]

Like I said earlier in other keycap threads; it is best for the organizers to provide start off with the base alphanumerics instead of a TKL.

The number of 60% users and sub-60% users here are increasing, and I believe that these crowds are insane drivers for SA profile keycaps.

Personally, I'd prefer if we can keep to Row-3 uniform (easier to switch layouts between QWERTY and Dvorak/Workman/Etc.) and for the benefit of the Ergo crowds also.

In the end, the main reason for my preference is because I don't like to see wasted caps, and people can just buy the  caps that they need to complete the board that they want, instead of having a bunch of keys that are sitting in a drawer somewhere.

So, my idea would be:

1. Base kit: Alphanumerics and punctuation only.
2. 60% kit (modifiers mainly)
3. TKL kit (function row and navigation 9-keys)
4. Numpad.
5. Novelties.
6. Ergodoxen kit (blanks are best, since there are as many layouts as users).
7. Tsangan mod Kit.
8. So on and so forth.

You get the gist of it from the above.

However, this is not without drawbacks, as Matt3o once commented that such a distribution of caps might eventually be more expensive than just buying the TKL set and tacking on the addons instead (and having leftover keys).

Of course, you need to understand my current background is that I am mainly using a Lightsaber (until it is collected) and an Ergodox. I have a baggie for each GB that I participated in that contains the leftover keys that I will never need.

There are plenty of SA sets out there with uniform row 3 profile, or row 3 alphas. In fact, there is a set on PMK right now, Nuclear Data. Can we get a true sculptured set for once, done in the "right" way with regard to row profiles? That's what I and others have been advocating for here.

And, in my opinion, having a complete set as the base is way less confusing for people, and helps bring in orders. People who need or want specialized kits can purchase them as options. But a TKL or 104 set as the base just makes sense, as that is what the VAST MAJORITY of people buying these need.

[scubaste]

Granite R2 AND this set are gonna make my wallet hurt, but I'm gonna be so pumped in a couple of months when they are in!!

I understood his point as I almost can feel how bad it is to look at a drawer and see basically a complete set with all the leftover stuff you don't use. People feel they are wasting money, by buying stuff they don't actually use, but I gotta say that they shouldn't feel like that because of the Group Buy concept. The sets are split the way they are in order to balance and actually split the costs to everybody. Let's say that 24 people end up buying a a TKL stripe and 30 people end up buying a 60% stripe. What happened is that 24 people didn't get their stuff because the 60%ers saved $10 or so each.

I believe that a compact GB is the way to go.

UPDATED PICTURES ON OP.

I think this is the BEST laid out key-set that clearly explains which row is applied to every key displayed - cudos MiTo  .

If no one votes for this latest key-set, then they're utter MORONS (that's putting it nicely)  .  I truly hopes this has legs to run right into SP's molds as fast as possible.

think of it this way, it'll be easier to sell your keycaps (if you want to one day) since you can sell to both 60% board users AND tkl board users 
or when you got yourself a tkl board, you'll be squeezing your balls for not getting the tkl base set  ) ) )

What do you mean?  Just allow us to purchase (at the very least) Row 3 blanks in the colors available in the set (the dark grey, blue and orange colors).  It'll be even better if we can buy blank mods (especially 1.5), but 1x caps would be great.

[Oobly]

FYI, I don't even care about the colorway or the specialty legends. I really don't even care about the Cherry replica legends. All I care about is sculpted SA profile. If this set is done in a "no compromises" way, I'll buy in, possibly heavily. But a compromised row profile, and I'm out completely.

I think it's best to just wait for Matt3o to run the SA Retro GB. I've bought into Nuclear Green on the off chance of getting a sculpted kit later, but I think the only surefire way of getting a 3-1-2-3-4-3 SA set is from SA Retro. We still have to wait for SP to make the R4 shift key molds. Anyway, the only caps I'm getting before SA Retro will be Bunny's GMK Hyperfuse. At least that's my current intention....

I second this.  A few 1u blanks (either color) in the ErgoPack would be very welcome.  I suggested it a few pages back but it was lost in the chaos.

Edit: Actually, he's got them in there now.  Gotta scroll down to see it, but it's in a new kit called Halfadox -- 10 1u blanks in blue, row 3.  10 of them is probably overkill for a half-ErgoDox kit.

Apreciate it Elrick, it took some time to make it, and a decent display is the least I can do.

However, I'm not sure if the 1u + key on the Numpad is on the correct profile though, because I never had a Numpad with such a key.

If you look at the Nuclear keyset, it features way too many blanks. You can actually buy a blank green SA keyset if you want. I can't see the point behind this, but I understand what you're talking about.

Do you believe that 4 x 1u blanks is enough? I based the HalfaDox in this picture.



I believe that 4 x 1u are enough, to replace the both blanks nearby the "Home" key and two to replace the 1u Control and Alt, assuming that the buyer gets the Novelties or the Base Set too.

4x 1u for a Halfadox should be enough, yes.  Could you do 2x in blue and 2x in your black/dark gray color?  That would give us 4x 1u in blue and 4x 1u in black for a "Full Dox" and people can mix & match as needed.

Yeah, looks like it just got nudged over in editing or something.  Probably a mistake.

I dig that orange Pulse key.  I'd almost request a matching Enter key but I'm not sure it would really add anything.

This key is supposed to be a replacement to the regular ESC key. It's just to break the cyan tone, glad you like it.

What do you think about this?

I love this so much. Love.

Ok, I see what you mean now.

Another suggestion:  please add the ability to purchase blank keys like what we can currently do with the Nuclear group buy that's currently active on PMK.  Here's a link:  http://www.pimpmykeyboard.com/deals/nuclear-data-green-old-skool-sa-row-3-keycaps/

Might be a little more complicated than what's going on with that set because I think that set uses the same profile for all rows.  I think offering Row 3 blanks would be great.

That's really confusing actually, I don't know how can I make this work with PuLSE.

What do you mean?  Just allow us to purchase (at the very least) Row 3 blanks in the colors available in the set (the dark grey, blue and orange colors).  It'll be even better if we can buy blank mods (especially 1.5), but 1x caps would be great.

I second this.  A few 1u blanks (either color) in the ErgoPack would be very welcome.  I suggested it a few pages back but it was lost in the chaos.

Edit: Actually, he's got them in there now.  Gotta scroll down to see it, but it's in a new kit called Halfadox -- 10 1u blanks in blue, row 3.  10 of them is probably overkill for a half-ErgoDox kit.

Do you believe that 4 x 1u blanks is enough? I based the HalfaDox in this picture.

I believe that 4 x 1u are enough, to replace the both blanks nearby the "Home" key and two to replace the 1u Control and Alt, assuming that the buyer gets the Novelties or the Base Set too.

4x 1u for a Halfadox should be enough, yes.  Could you do 2x in blue and 2x in your black/dark gray color?  That would give us 4x 1u in blue and 4x 1u in black for a "Full Dox" and people can mix & match as needed.

Sure thing, I'll change that. Sorry for taking this ErgoPack through so many modifications. I'm so dumb when it comes to it.

Me requesting the ability to purchase blank keys is due to me wanting to blank out the alphas, while still purchasing the base set and mods.  The color scheme and profile are excellent IMO, that's why I want the option.  Maybe 1.5 row 3 keys too, if it's not too much to ask?  Thanks again

I did this for Galaxy class.
Bought 50 of each 1u blank.

Yeah, I'm looking to buy 50 of each color (pulse) as well.  If we can hit the same price as the blanks in the Nuclear set, it won't be bad at all.  Maybe the other colors that match the scheme from the ESC pack, especially the orange, can be added as well (yes, I know it's making it complicated now, but I think it'll be worth it for everyone).

It's cool man.  No pressure.

One of the reasons Nuclear Data did a whole bunch of blank keys is that SP charges a low flat rate for them, and buyers can put their own ErgoDox or custom layout together themselves without needing a special kit that may or may not include the right size & quantity of keys for them.  Having the blanks available is a huge boost to the GB, in my opinion.  It encourages more people to buy the base kit and mods if they know they can fill in the gaps on their custom boards with (relatively) cheap blanks.

I'm sure samwisekoi would espouse the many virtues of blank cap options if you asked him.

Also, you should change your 1.25x PuLSE logo key from row 4 to row 3, since the bottom row will be row 3 profile.

Good call, JD.  I think it would apply to the Tsangan too, yes?



Now that we're talking 312343 profile?

That's ok, don't worry. Can you list to me the caps you need? Cause I think it is:

*Blue 1u - Row 3;
*Blue 1.5u - Row 3;
*Blue 2.0u - Row 3;

Peace.

I see what you guys are talking about now. Just provide me a list with the blanks you guys need and I'll add them.

Lord, finally a good looking avatar. It took me forever to figure out the resolution.

Shouldn't the shift key in the Tsangan be row 4?

SP can't produce Shift keys on R-4 atm. We expect to launch a MiniGB in the future featuring the Shift Keys - if needed.

EDIT: I just remebered that the Tsangan Shift key is 1.75u sized, so maybe SP can do it on R4. Gotta confirm.

This is a question for MiTo here;

Are you able to supply (design) all one coloured F1 to F12 set?

Would like the option to BUY both Black and Blue as well as Blue and Black F1's to F12's, to place upon my keyboards.  Please let us know here  .

There hasn't been an all same coloured F1 to F12 set released yet in the SA Profile, I thought maybe your design could be the absolute FIRST one to grace Geekhack.

[feizor]

Can we have 2 orange pulse keys in the novelties kit instead of just one? Then we can achieve a balanced look if we use them for windows keys in a winkeyless layout!
