How many different combinations will be made?

Popular color-combinations should be available as one kit at a lower price than separate keys.

Just...cool!

Great news

!!!

I'm in for atleast 2 sets...

7bit, do you think clear on gray, red, green, or blue would be feasible?

Yes! The key caps can also be mounted on brown or black switches, BTW.

ps: for the 1000th time: Signature Plastics can't double shot clear plastic!

Swede · 16 Jun 2011, 19:30

I wonder why they can't do doubleshot with clear, must be that the plastic that they make clears of mess with the others in some way... But cherry could do it, right?

Haes · 16 Jun 2011, 20:34

i bet they could, but they stopped making doubleshots in 2010.

deFlash · 16 Jun 2011, 20:52

cherry windowed keys are indeed doubleshot

webwit · 16 Jun 2011, 21:13

The range of options is tiny

Signature plastics, signature plastics, signature plastics, signature plastics, signature plastics, signature plastics, front molding artifacts and signature plastics.

Haes · 16 Jun 2011, 21:15

what about devlin ?

webwit · 16 Jun 2011, 21:52

They only do black&white doubleshots, probably from old stock.

Thanks 7bit! Just hoping my screen gets the colors right

Would be really nice if we could get real pics as well, but that can be a bit hard to get I guess unless someone from the earlier groupbuys have all the combinations or if Signature can get some taken.

For most of these, SP's color sample ring must be enough!

I really hope I will get it before Round 4 ships!

Swede · 17 Jun 2011, 21:48

It's ok with these pictures. But I'm a bit of a perfectionist, and want to get everything just right before I order something. (I also don't trust my TN screens)
You wont be needing to do this, as I don't want to push you or just beeing an ass. Kinda feels like that sometimes

I would like this exact color scheme for my poker (made with desk lamp at night, can do better pics):

Swede · 17 Jun 2011, 23:08

This is the setup i'm thinking of, but with SE/Nordic layout, probably going to edit this so it looks like it should

Will the right side on ISO use the ANSI return key, or the "big" ISO one? Would be nice if it was the ANSI one, getting these keys for my poker.

Both, J-shape return and Big-ASS-L-shape return will be available.

Mayby language specific keys will not be available in all colors, but surely in black on white, white on very dark grey, or black on very dark grey.

What are you guys using to make the colored keyboard layouts. I have a real bad imagination and it'd be great to be able to "easily" play around with some color combo's on a virtual keyboard layout like that. Is it just a PSD file or something else?

zeeko · 18 Jun 2011, 00:30

It is png, (rather adobe fireworks).
If you had the layers you easily could change the colors.
So now you have to rebuild the layers on your own.
Or the original poster gives you the files.

ripster · 18 Jun 2011, 03:15

I'd like to see a pic of what these are supposed to look like.

It takes time, but I can do it atleast!
