[drrtyrokka]

perfect colors, really! I cannot wait anymooore, hrmpf...

[Muirium]

no korean, but here in Florence we had a good share of perfectionists

Tasty!

[Madhias]

Nomnom, that RGB looks very good! Glad i will get that also!

And a future project: CMYK DSA PBT

[iAmAhab]

Time to go punish myself for forgetting to actually buy this set.

[Muirium]

I'm equally glad I just made, right at the end! Couldn't afford everything I wanted, but I got what really mattered. Something tells me this one's a keeper, like Round 4 SPH, and won't come up much in trades.

Now, about those Nerddom caps…

So you will be posting pics of these keycaps as much as your R4?!?

Now I wish for them to turn out bad

[Muirium]

Rest assured, my primate friend, that you'll get your hands on them before I do. They're shipping to my brother in America and I'll have to wait a while. Like with Dolch.

[Broadmonkey]

Actually, I also have an American proxy as I acquired one in the very last moment, but usually shipping from the US to DK is only a few days, so I guess I'll still get them before you.

[Muirium]

Mine aren't coming by post. So yes! I'll get Dolch and Granite together sometime this summer.

[matt3o]

I'll have mine shipped by fedex within 24/48h

take that!

[Vierax]

express shipping is cheat : we try to play regular with snail mail

BTW those pics are promissing, bravo !

[Muirium]

Remember: Matteo's is the prototype, not just an ordinary set. Those dye subs are under serious scrutiny.

I tremble to think what will happen to Nerddom if the colours aren't up to his standards!

[matt3o]

I hope to receive pictures for all kits tomorrow, it seems that centering all those legends is more complicated than expected.

From what I've got so far I have the impressions that the icons are a little bit too thick compared to alpha... meaning that more works waits ahead. I hope I'm wrong.

[Muirium]

Can we see some icon mods next to alphas to judge for ourselves?

[matt3o]

no

Spoiler:

:p I have just few icon mods to tell, as soon as I get more I'll post here. I'm reluctant at posting legends that are not final, I don't want people think they are the real deal.

[Muirium]

Oh…

Spoiler:

You know where to find me!

[matt3o]

ok it turned out yesterday was Memorial Day... I hope today is the day I get the missing legends (basically 90% of them...)

[matt3o]

I got some more samples. There are some updates to do.

Everything looks good but I should have followed my guts and done the top right mods abbreviated and all of the same size.



I believe I will update them. Apart from that it looks gorgeous!

[Muirium]

So nice!

[facetsesame]

Super indeed. And those of us who chose the icon mods can get away with it! Which makes me wonder how the icon mods look. All will be revealed in good time, I'm sure...

[matt3o]

there have been some issues with the icons, some more work to do I'm afraid.

[Omikron]

Caps Lock looks like a candy Bended a little.

[Muirium]

Pictures can be misleading, but now I look at this one, all the longer caps do appear a bit banana shaped. That's PBT for you. It bends as it cools, much more than ABS. Hopefully the effect is worse in this photo than it is in real life.

I have a few PBT space bars, and none of them are quite straight…

[matt3o]

I have quite a few SP spacebars and I must say that they are all pretty straight if you look them from top, but slightly banana from the front. I believe the heating from the sublimation warps the caps a little. It also happens when you home-dye Model M caps. Anyway I still love them

And these are some icons.



If I really wanted... I should slim them juuuust a 0.05mm

[Madhias]

Very nice, now i really understand that color combination - of course i saw the SP plastic samples, but in one piece all caps together is great (the 3D mockup is probably to dark or the light grey caps not light grey). I like the top-right mods as they are, funky different sizes, makes it old-school, cool.

[EDIT]

Spoiler:

[Mr.Bean]

Glad i went for icon modifiers.

[matt3o]

@madhias, if I take 10 pictures, with 10 different cameras, in 10 different places. I get 11 different colors

[Madhias]

Of course! I just thought like 'wow, now that's light and dark grey, great'.

[matt3o]

the only thing that worries me is that SP is taking really a lot of time to make these setups, I hope the changes I will make won't delay the process too much

[Eszett]

Why is F1-F4 und F9-F12 not dark grey as F5-F8 (and all the other keys which don't invoke a visible sign)?

No complain, just asking.
