me too, It has a bit more edge to it

[Vigrith]

Yep, on a key it's the new one (on the right) 100%. Great job!

Signed up just to keep an eye on this set.

You had me irrevocably when you said "ALPS".

[eksuen]

I like the one on the left more, but I'll take either.

[evangs]

Feedback time again.



this will be one big set with the exception of the ISO/International keys at the bottom which would be a small kit (~$20)

A few legends have changed, I updated the non alpha keys to only be single legend. This is to make internationalization easier to support. ANSI users, are you ok with single legends numbers etc? International users what do you think of this compromise?

I also added homing keys for a variety of layouts.

I think this is a good middle ground bringing the most support for the least amount of keys and making it affordable for everyone.

Personally, I'm not a fan of the single legends... but understand the logistical simplification that decision allows.

I hear ya.  Does it turn you off to the set?

It does. I am a decent typist, but can never remember that % is 5 and ^ is 6, so I need the second legend. Most here are probably less concerned with that though, so I accept if I'm outvoted.

I like it. A little bit off the "less is more" effect.

Really interested in the set. Not really bothered with single legends, and if it helps the set's cost/production i'm fine with the compromise

[Vigrith]

I actually prefer the single legends, adds to the charm of the set per the way of simplicity. I'm a minimalist though so I'm biased, I'd be okay with either outcome but I appreciate the fact you're taking things like that into consideration to make the set more accessible money-wise for all of us.

Agreed- very cool to get to at least vote/ provide input on these sorts of things... Thanks for considering all the opinions, evangs.

I also prefer the dual legends and the single legends would make me reconsider, but I too will accept it if that preference falls in the minority.

Nice set, count me in!

Unfortunately I can't include everything and have had to make compromises to keep the total cap count down. I've tried to support the maximum number of layouts with a limited number of keys, therefore more unique layouts will not have 100% legend accuracy, but will have the correct size caps

I was secretly hoping for an extra 2.25u Shift cap to make it through to final renders, but this explains that. The accented Enter could do the job, but this set might still go onto another board though.

Personally, I'm not a fan of the single legends... but understand the logistical simplification that decision allows.

I am not keen on the single legends either as I find them over-simplified. However, I have never used any like that, so why not give them a try?

I also added homing keys for a variety of layouts.

Thanks!

this will be one big set with the exception of the ISO/International keys at the bottom which would be a small kit (~$20)

While being a US-Intl layout user, if the International kit stays this small, I will certainly grab it to get my hands on these fancy Nor/De/Spanish caps.

Evan for president! Also, I'm patiently waiting for the time to come when you actually have enough resources to offer your board kits with an option for full assembly, I remember we spoke on Massdrop when your Minivan recently dropped and I'm counting days to the potential 1 year ETA you gave haha.

[bbmathlvr]

Which light cycle do you prefer?

The one on right since I didn't even know the one on the left was supposed to be a light cycle.

Before I saw the new one I didn't realize that it was a motorcycle :p

[Norman_the_Owl]

Single legends is a turn off for me (ANSI).

Not trying to be a buzz kill for international layouts, but I couldn't do it. DSA for me is already a risk, single legends is too much. Alps is a huge selling point, but not enough for me

This is feedback I need, I've got some other ideas, but I'll let some more responses come in first

Oh and fwiw, I'm an ANSI user as well (referring to my prior comment regarding liking the minimalistic profile of the single legends). It's curious to me that that's such a big deal for a lot of users on here - isn't everybody used to typing with blank keys/without looking at their legends nowadays? Or is it just (mostly) about aesthetics?

[arhetue]

ANSI user here. Single legends also a turn off for me, and would have me reconsidering.

I actually preferred the last render from the 19th, plus the new bike novelty key, by quite a large margin over the current render.

I noticed the bikes and novelties are not in the current render? Are they out?

I was also hoping for an additional blue 2.25 shift. Was thinking of using an F660M as my primary board for this set.

The novelties haven't gone anywhere just didn't put them on this quick render as it was more about gathering feedback on the legends.

ANSI as well. I don't like single legend but I could live with it. It would make me a bit less excited but I don't think that would translate to not having a sale. I'm a decent typist but for whatever reason I seem to be symbol blind. Not insensitive to ISO format needs though.

Also the right one looks better, imo. I don't dislike the stylized version but that's more tron 2.0, I grew up with the original. ^_^

[Petce]

Created a Geekhack account just to say that I'm not a fan of single legends for the numbers either. It would definitely make me reconsider the set.

[jebbra]

For mono legends, I use the second legend–!@# instead of 123–on my Granite. Because you can always count the numbers

I love the look of the simpler caps. But I do use the extra legends as I am switching between keyboard layouts so often (UK, ISO, German, ...) that I never came around to remember where the bl@@%# special characters are. Well, I'll find my bracketsand punctuation in the dark, but that's about it. I litereally look where they are.

Nevertheless, I'd go for the set anyway - it's just too beautiful.

Take my money!!! All of eeet!

I like the left (old) one as it feels simpler/cleaner.

Keep it up evangs!

[Vypr]

I'm interested in this

[jal]

So very in on this one.

[numberfive]

ANSI here. I like having special characters with the numbers, but am happy with either layout. Really like the "RETURN" change too.

Also prefer the cycle on the right.

[evangs]

I now have pricing info and believe I know how I am going to break up the sets

Base Set $100


Compatability/Internationalization Pack $50


MOQ for each pack is 100 units

Let me know what you think!

Love the newest renders and the kit separation was done well.  I will be in for both kits for sure!

It may be too late but I'd also like a blue numpad enter, I've always thought it looked sharp to have the esc & numpad enter in matching, contrasting colors flanking each corner of the board.

Just cause you're so awesome, I'm gonna add the blue numpad enter
