It is with some considerable sadness that we have decided we
must cancel this Group Buy. Among other things, surprise
multi-thousand-dollar charges have popped up, and we can’t
sustain it.
If anyone really, really wants
Sindarin/Elvish keycaps, we would be happy to send a copy of
the layout file over to WASD Keyboards. They have indicated
to me that they can laser etch sets onto their customizable
ABS keycaps.
Other than that, it has been fun to work
on, and frankly, it was this collaboration that connected
Matt3o and samwisekoi. Thus, the Sindarin loss was Retro
DSA’s gain.
Best to everyone who supported this
proposed buy,

Announcing the 87-Key PBT Elvish (Sindarin) Keycap Set in
Pearl and Green.
WATCH THIS SPACE FOR AN UPDATE COMING SOON!

Designed by Matt3o and samwisekoi, this keycap set is
designed to be as close to the keyboard a computer-literate
Elvish person in Middle Earth would use to type in Sindarin.
The characters of Middle Earth are called Tengwar; Sindarin
is the Elvish language that used them. You can use them for
Elvish if you have a Tengwar font installed, perhaps with
AutoHotKey or equivalent to help. Or you can transliterate
English into Tengwar. Tolkien wrote a guide in the LOTR
books that tells you how to do just that.
Or, this can
be the ultimate Otaku keyboard – only your Elvish co-workers
will even be able to understand it.
But everyone who
read or saw the Lord of the Rings or The Hobbit will think
it is cool.
These are the legends for this group buy.
Actual plastic samples from SP.
This
keycap set is dye-sub PBT and SP’s spacebars are ABS, so
color-matching the spacebar is an issue, and will be
discussed in this thread and then decided and announced as
soon as possible. Colors have been discussed and decided.
They are shown above. For the people with color rings, they
are GTF, WCS, and VCD.
We now have final pricing from
SP for 89-key/* sets:
Order count as of 23-Mar-2013
08:00 PDT.
25 sets $109.15 per set <– 32 (we are
here)
50 sets $95.65 per set
75 sets $91.15 per
set
100 sets $88.90 per set
/89 keys is base + mods + spacebar + extra ~ ` and | \
keys in mod color.
So we want to hit 50 sets. Here is
the semi-fancy Google Doc for ordering:

Finally, for those of you who have been asking about
104-key variants and other things, we have designed legends
for them, but wanted to run this buy with a very simple
selection of keys. But if you really want expansion packs,
and have friends who want them as well, we can have them
made at the same time.
Stay tuned for further updates
and get your orders in so we know who is really
interested!
Thanks very much indeed,

p.s. That Escape Key? It says Geek Hack in Elvish. You can’t get THAT anywhere else! (Will be replaced or made optional in some way, as requested.)
