awesome, haven't been as euphoric for keycaps for a while

\o/ Yay !
I'm curious about your colour choices.

[Muirium]

Dirge might have a suggestion…

[Slavfot]

I vote for SA with language pack and ergodox addon

[matt3o]

we would probably go DSA PBT if (and only if) we can 100% the spacebar color.

Also I've been suggested to wait a bit before placing the order to SP because there might be some news on the horizon.

What kind of news ? Good or bad ?

[Acanthophis]

Maybe DSA PBT 2shots?

[rindorbrot]

Maybe DSA PBT 2shots?

In ISO-DE?

Then I might actually take a set.

[mintberryminuscrunch]

Are they going to double the prices?

They didnt had a DSA ISO Enter mould for ABS, so guess there will be no one for PBT....but if the sets comes in vintage beige/white one could use the PBT ISO enter from the old Cherry "S" boards or maybe same as for the Retro-Set....a simple DCS ISO enter in PBT (if thats possible).

So should there be DE legends or EU language pack possible....count me in as well.

Glad to see this back alive again.

[Kalcifer]

Let it begin...

[matt3o]

Some combos.

This is close to Model M:



Very similar but "pure" gray



A bit darker



And this is close to topre hi-pro



Other ideas?

[Muirium]

This is for a doubleshot DSA set?

They're all very nice. I'd give #2 "pure grey" the edge because of its refreshing subtlety.

[tlt]

I like the "topre hi-pro" the color is a bit warmer and feel very retro. The "A bit darker" is also nice

[matt3o]

Since we discussed this months ago, let me sum up what we are talking about.

This is for a PBT dye sublimated set in the DSA family.

If we can't 100% match the spacebar color, I'm not interested in yet another ABS set and I call myself out.

[Muirium]

Understood. I'd forgotten already, it's been a while.

PBT is definitely preferred for pale caps. We all know what happens to light shades of ABS when the sun shines…

[matt3o]

rethinking about it I might still be interested in a ABS set in symbolics color combo http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/c ... yboard.jpg

[Muirium]

Hmm… but all that white for yellowing. That's the top reason to prefer PBT.

[matt3o]

I hear you, mate.

Just take two mod kits and you are good to go for 10 years

Anyway I'm just really interested into PBT right now.

[Muirium]

Ten years? Come on. My current keyboard is almost thirty!

Can't beat dyesub PBT.

[matt3o]

do you really believe that you will stick with one key set for more than a couple of years? (someone would say more that a couple of months)

Those colors looks great! but I don't think the photo has a correct white balance. I'm in for whatever (almost) if there is language packs

[Halvar]

I'd be in for any of these. I can't really be sure of the difference from my monitor, but I'd slightly prefer the pure grey variants, and I'd slightly prefer the "inverse" scheme with the alphas in darker color.

[terrpn]

dye sub pbt.........count me in as well

tried reading back through, but will 1.5x and 1x mods be available as well?

i guess windowed is out?

i know ansi will be available, but how bout iso/german language pack?

[matt3o]

I'd like to include at least 5/6 ISO languages. All mods should be available. We just miss the spacebar of course that will be ABS. If I can't match the spacebar color I'm not going to make this happen.

[terrpn]

great...........!

sounds like a plan

thanks
