Theoretical IC .. hehe

Is this part 2 of original cherry tooling: the dyesubs?

[rodtang]

Something like that, yeah.

[rodtang]

The Germans are in the lead!

[rodtang]

Added colemak, Dvorak and Neo as layout options.

[IvanIvanovich]

I hope this takes off, also I really would love that EU Parliment layout as it just looks pretty but forgot to put it in other. I also checked almost everything layout wise and will buy pretty much whatever. In the off chance ANSI dosen't get enough for it's own sets, it would be really cool to include our 3 keys in any winning ISO layout or at the least as an add on option.

Noooo not the germans!! jk

form filled

another US person here who will also buy pretty much whatever becomes available for these BSP dyesubs

Were is there a German option?
I only see 'deutch' which sounds more like dutch to me

[Daniel]

If this happens I'd would be happy about adding the necessary keys to the uk iso layout to make it a us ansi layout (or the other way round).

Ok, I am blind and illiterate.

[rodtang]

My first plan was to have everything in one big set as far as that is possible at a reasonable price.

I'll do some brainstorming to see if I can come up with a good solution.

[Daniel]

I didn't think of putting it in a separate set, everything in a big set is imho the best thing (including a EURO kit http://deskthority.net/workshop-f7/iso- ... t4566.html) to reach reasonable order quantities.

[guilleguillaume]

Registered my interest.

[rodtang]

26 people have so far shown interest, half of which are mainly interested if the price is right. ANSI is in the lead with UK and German on a shared second.

[IvanIvanovich]

When I ran my poll for GMK, I had US, GB, DE, ES as the biggest amount of votes. Everything else got under 15% of votes with just under 300 votes submitted. I would imagine this will turn out with a similar result since you are again polling the same people for the most part.

[Broadmonkey]

+1 on that EU Parliment set!

[korne]

Registerd my interest also... +1 on that EU set

[rodtang]

This wasn't really well thought out. How about you tell me everything you want/need and I then create another IC asking the masses which of those things they want. And I then take those results and get a quote from BSP which I then put into a third "proper" IC with pricing.

[IvanIvanovich]

Do you want all the data I collected from GMK IC for options and such? It would save a lot of time and I am pretty sure most people will want the same in dyesubs as they did in doubleshots more or less.

[rodtang]

That would be great, could probably skip one of the IC's that way

[IvanIvanovich]

I will just sum up the most important part,
Base: 104 ANSI / 105 ISO (standard G80-3000 layout)
Additional: 1.5 control x 2, 1.5 alt (alt gr) x2, 1u control x2, 1u alt (alt gr) x2, 1u windows x2, 1u menu, 1.25 Fn, 1u Fn, 1.75 shift, 3x blank 1u keys per row.
Possible alternates: 1.75 control, 1.25/1.5 caps lock, UNIX layout.

Of course there were many other suggestions, but these are the most core of them. This should please most people without the set growing to 400 keys.

[rodtang]

Thanks, I will try to get my ideas/thoughts (whatever you would call the stuff that is in my head right now is) in a format other humans can understand.

[rodtang]

I hope this doesn't look too awful. Please point out anything you'd change/that is missing:

I seem to have lost track of planned colours for caps and print.

[rodtang]

I should probably have mentioned that, black on white as that seems like the most logical thing.

[kbdfr]

Thanks, form filled.

[IvanIvanovich]

I think multi color multi language, or even just color like red, green, etc single langauge would be more interesting. Especially since Druger/Jackass is running black legend US set, it would be a good idea to offer something else.

[rodtang]

Well, we could do "Red Alert" or "Olivetti" or purple on lime green.

It's just that I think the black on white will look best and I want everyone to get a chance to own one for a not awful price. I also think it would be easier to get a lot of people to buy the black on white than any other combination (which will make it cheaper).

[rodtang]

I also posted the poll on GH http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=41102
