Is the F1-F12 kit (FUNCTION) in the same color as the one dirge always dreams about, day and night?

Text color must be black and we need F13-F17 (better until F32 to cover more keyboards).

The colors on the renders are not perfect. Everything appears to be more pale/dull in the renders than will be in real life.

Awesome! Good luck, let's hope for the best MOQwise.

What is the key color of the MODIFIER RETRO pack? Is this "hellgrau"? Or Cherry (off-)"white"? Apple white? Whiter-than-white-detergeant white? :o

Will the F/J keys have the dot on them like the render shows? I'd prefer scooped only.

Any chance you can add white spacebars to the Modifier Kits or at least offering the Spacebars separately? Already disliked that in yr darkgrey GB where the black spacebar was in the numeric set instead of the mod-set. You know, if you want to use a vintage set on a modern board its usually only the mods AND the spacebar which arent working.

Modifier Retro color will be like that used on picture in 7bit post above, or same like usual alpha color on white set. Basically I took that board as inspiration, with all the current common keysize and threw in some RGB flavor.

White on orange pack home key will be center dot, for something different.

I can see about some spacebars.

Is the modifier pack set in stone? If not then I implore you to add a row3 1.75u Control cap and a row4 1.5u blank cap.

I'm trying to keep modifiers set light to the 'essentials' to keep the price as low as possible. My main goal this time is to offer some neat stuff that is incredibly rare or does not exist yet for low prices rather than trying to be all encompassing.

Thank you!!!!!

So, the Retro pack is going to be in the warmer light beige of the common two tone sets, not in 'hellgrau', is that correct?

BimboBB is right.
What are these space bars anyway? Mounting points? Will the 6.25u fit on Filcos?

That is a valid point. It's also the reason why I just now ordered MODS from the grey/black GB because the space bar wasn't included in it and I ordered the orange/red one here. Would make more sense (and maybe more orders for that pack and as a result maybe less from the other, which is also not the idea) if the MOD pack has a spacebar (spacebars). Either way, your effort is well appreciated :)

So you're trying to use the white mod kit as a Moogle kit for older beige/white Cherry sets? I thought about that, but that would still mean that I have all the nav keys and cursor keys in beige, which I think would look kind of strange. I like the idea of the colorful legends on white, but at the moment I don't really know what I could use this mod set for. Seems to only make sense for 60% keyboards.

Right, colour-wise it would be a bit vomit-like....but at least you have full set in same profile....a full cherry set for a modern mecha. thats currently nearly impossible to achieve, as 1.25 mods are super rare, 6.25 spacebars from cherry with "filco"-stems are close to non-existing and also center-stemmed capslocks are not easy to get.

Also the white mods would go quite nicely with the white "Krankenkasse"-keyboards (G80-1501HAD) rather than the classical dual beige tone keyboards.


Ivan, pls think about the white spacebar. :) (and black ones would be nice as well)

Yes, I agree, also about the space bar being needed to make this a Moogle kit.

These are "hellgrau" I think, so they would be slightly off, but these set are at least not duotone from the start. Good idea anyway, I will take a look on how white and light grey look together.

Really "hellgrau"? The mockup looks like full white. Like the white on the below (second) keyboard.

Sorry, my "these" was too unspecific. I meant the G80-1501 are hellgrau, while Ivan's set is classic "white".
MOD Retro base color same like classic 'white' color on average black on white alpha.
As I understand Ivan, the keys will be the "white" from the alphas of the top keyboard in your picture (which is in fact a very light beige). The bottom keyboard in the picture is "hellgrau", same color as all newer G80-3000-Lxxxx.

The alphas on Dirges keyboard -- that could even be a third variant, no idea. Can't tell from the picture.

I like the idea of having brighter mods in general. From a quick side by side here i get the impression, that light beige mods surrounding hellgrau should look good.
Hellgrau as mods for light-beige alphas doesn't work out though, i tried that before.

While it may break from tradition some, I don't think it looks bad to have different color key for different 'zones' on the keyboard. I think best effect would be to combine both this modifiers pack and the yellow function row with a classic black/white set end up with something similar this (was in a rush so didn't fix up the legends to match):

Will it be beautiful dirge-yellow or this ugly citrus-yellow?

Posted: 08 Nov 2013, 23:15

I believe, as Ivans has said before, that it will be the same yellow as used in the CMYK set.
