[IC] REBEL - SA keycap set

[Findecanor]

I'm  interested in Aurebesh first, and completing the sets second.

[Niomosy]

Nice.  Personally, I'm a bigger fan of that light gray for the mods than the white/black but both look good.  The last pic with everything put together looks solid.

A 60% for you.  :-*

OP also updated to add all the recent changes discussed.

That's pretty damn awesome.  I like it.  It could end up being a nice Christmas present at the rate SA sets are going ;)

[MyGreatDevastator]

The grey is looking great! And the Aurebesh would definitely be tempting, hope you can make that work somehow!

[breckstar]

Star Wars+ favorite colors = Lovin' it

[qazeqaz]

So realistically what are we looking at for the Aerbesh set? How long to make if they even can? When would they drop? Estimate (Roughly) on cost?

Well as of right now, they are booked in to June with SA sets.  So Christmas would probably be about right. lol

I hope so too.  The more I see it, the more I want it!

To get the Aurebesh set doubleshot, which is the ultimate goal, it's around $1400 in custom legends.  I would guess about $40ish per set with 100 sets sold.  I will find out for sure what kind of price it would be to see if it would make sense.  As to a drop/cost, no idea right now.  SP is booked in to June with SA sets.

[Pwner]

Alright, so I'm trying to get the base details of the set finished up.  Would I be better off running a set like this?



This way would include some of the more common alternate layout keys.  I figured that would be better since I'm doing 2 different colored mods.  I'm trying to keep the number of kits down, but if I would be better off running a full set of alternate layout keys in each mod color rather than together like this, then I will.  I would also offer a smaller set of oddball keys with mac options and whatnot just to cover whatever else.

Oh and I had an idea to make the Rebel logo [or the X-wing key] possible as well.  A small pack of relegendables!  This isn't perfect, but I think it would still work out great.  The only thing is, would I have to offer just one color, or could I do a pack of a few colors?




I'm also working on some alternate modifiers and novelties that I'll be posting up soon™.

[livingspeedbump]

With 30ish novelties/new molds needed to make this a doubleshot set (you couldnt make this dye sub with the current colors) you are looking at about $1,500 just in mods for this set. That will significantly raise the price of the sets and make this one of the most expensive SA sets ever. Just something to consider.

That plus the SA pricing hikes.  This one with the Aurebesh and Yuri are looking to be two of the higher-priced sets because of all the added costs.  Hopefully both can round up some good followings to help balance that out.

Ah Yuri, yeah that too. Classic space takes the cake with trying to make a new full font for 104 boards. Definitely want to do pmk or MD for these sets if possible.

Good point, I forgot about Classic Space.  That new font will certainly be a heavy hitter.  Wasn't there talk of a cost split across more than one set? 

[qazeqaz]

Random SW question the original V keys located at the bottom, what is or does that mean? My buddy is a huge SW nerd and he didn't even know what it was. Tried to look it up on Google but I was unable to find anything on it.

They were looking to do a fundraiser novelty set for the font, which I think is a bit of a stretch in terms of feasibility.

Yeah I'm in all of those emails. It's gonna be interesting for sure. It's really tough to get the full community behind something these days.

Yeah but logistics for that are a nightmare. Either way the first set to run with it is going to be astronomically expensive.

From the helmet..


Just modified a bit.  If you look at the board at the top of the OP, I plan on doing them as they were.

[mimalik]

If its in SA profile then I am in, heck I will join whatever the profile, base orange + light beige modifiers + black text 

[qazeqaz]

I am definitely in for Aerbesh, no matter the cost

[Pwner]

I got some pricing information from Melissa regarding the Aurebesh alphas:

Doubleshot
25 sets                   $82.08 per set
50 sets                   $53.00 per set
100 sets                 $38.46 per set

Pad Printed
25 sets                   $37.21 per set
50 sets                   $32.47 per set
100 sets                 $30.11 per set

As long as we could hit the 50+ mark for doubleshot, I really don't think that price is bad considering it's 28 custom legends.  I'm waiting to hear back if that is the set price, or if they would be cheaper yet if the set was run through MD.

Wow. That is a really good price for the set.

[mastermachetier]

man I would love to see some planck support on this set. Oh god the Aurebesh on the plank oh lord.

[qazeqaz]

Hot damn I AM IN!!!!!!!!!!! So we start making these today, yes?!

[FuriousGeorge]

Wow, that's a lot better than I expected for Aurebesh. I really don't think 100 would be a problem on MD, but even 50 seems quite reasonable.

[qazeqaz]

I might be able to con my buddy into getting a real keyboard and a set of these

[Niomosy]

That pricing isn't too bad for the Aurebesh fans, it seems.  Should be a nice option.

[Pwner]

Let me know what you want for a planck and I'll put a set together.

definitely worth it for doubleshots. this is great news

I wish!  Get some more people in here that are interested and that would go a long way in to helping.

That's a really good price, people would pay for that.

[qazeqaz]

I personally will be ordering at least 2 of these if that helps. I just talked to my buddy again about it, seems on board. He is not hip to online forums. Kids nowadays... But I already ordered the new KB and set it aside for these caps!

[punkpc]

Any way to add a CMD key to the NON STANDARD/ADAPTER KITS? Or maybe a Mac kit?

[Pinecone]

So hot. Any ETA when this will be launched so I can start saving? ;D

That is awesome to hear!  I plan on building my first custom just for this set.  I hope I don't let either of us down.

I had them in the old alt. modifier set which I may do away with.  I added them in to the adapter kit for now at least.

I like the direction I am curious what it would look like with the black number key style you have in base set around the edges maybe even in blanks with the real symbol top left and right over white with a white space we should also include two 1 u of choosen color for the space since that is also a popular layout, 😀 another thought is maybe we can include standard 1u punctuation with Aurebesh or as a side option so we don't for people to have to purchase base set for those 4 or 5 keys.  maybe even Aurebesh punctuation if it doesn't add to much to the cost.

That's a good point.  I added standard punctuation in to the kit.  I'm not going to add anymore to the aurebesh kit as that will add another $200+.

Like I said, I'm not familiar with the planck/atomic layouts, so if you see something that I should add, I would be more than happy too!

I think I like your original layout better I a, gonna play around a bit in photoshop tomorrow to get so,e ideas typing from an iPad right it socks haha. The only thing I don't like on your original are the white raise and lower doesn't sit right with the gray for me haha. I'll let you know what I think once I get a better look. Great job BTW cool ideas and great quality work.

[punkpc]

Regardless if the Mac kit is in there or not. This kit is looking great and I can't wait to get my hands on it!

[srang]

This is awesome, finally made a gh account just so I can sign up for this set when it goes live. Love the Aurebesh... no matter the cost

[mastermachetier]

Okay so after messing around a bit with my horrible photoshop skills I kinda like white the best.





What I was thinking we can do the mods in white the plank doesn't need any 2u keys aside from the space , but we should also offer 2 1u for the space since that is also a common config. I was thinking we could do either a white and orange space option or a white and blue .We can also do the ESC and DEL in blue .  Let me know what you think. Thanks for taking your time.  PULSE for plank is below for reference in terms of the keys we need, but I don't think we need to have the options for every row. I also made a list below for what i consider necessary. Also I am not against doing blank whites all around with blue options for the esc del and space


       Row 2
          White 1u - ESC, TAB, DELETE, ENTER , BACKSPACE
          Blue   1u - ESC, DELETE, BACKSPACE
       Row 3
          White 1U - TAB, " '
       Row 4
          White 1u - UP, DOWN, LEFT , RIGHT, SHIFT , ENTER , CMD, CTRL, ALT, META, HYPER , SUPER, RAISE, LOWER , 2 BLANK
          White 2u - 1 BLANK
          blue   1u - 2 BLANK
          Blue   2u - 1 BLANK
     
lastly orange punctuation

Also one thing I noticed and I may be really wrong here , but are you letters mirrored in the aruebesh was the on purpose ?

Nope it is mirrored but not on purpose.  I think it is an issue with KEL but I am doing them all individually anyways to send to SP when the time comes so I didn't worry about it.

Maaaannnn.. This set is starting to look great!

[gaiden]

Definitely interested! I have been looking for a mito-like set with ergodox kit. This might be it! Is there a Google Doc to fill out some info for interest? Thanks

[qazeqaz]

So the KB for this build and custom Bro Bot arrive next week... We need to make this happen!

[theoriginal123123]

This is a super good looking set, definitely keeping my eye on this!

Nope.  Got anything you'd like to see added?  Just drop a message here.  Since you're interested in an ergo kit, would you rather see white or gray for mods or some combination of both?

So the KB for this build and custom Bro Bot arrive next week... We need to make this happen!

It will happen.  I just need to toss together some type of international kit and novelties.  Novelties I could use some suggestions on so toss those ideas my way!  Other than that, kits just need final color tweaks, mainly the ergo and planck kits and it's about done.  I plan on getting some 3D renders done as well then probably get it up for vote on MD/PMK.


* Forgot to mention: Planck kit was updated a few days ago and all the Aurebesh was fixed as well.
