The set has finally be finally finalized and I have also got a hold of a distributor for the set.
Unfortunately, MD didn’t respond to my group buy. even after 200 votes, and as such, I have gone to someone else who can make this set real.
I have decided to work with Sherryton of OriginativeCo as his recent track record has shown to be highly promising and he is highly experienced with running group buys for keycaps.
Originally the timeslot we were looking at to run the set was in November, however, that has been pushed back to another time TBA.
Here are some renders by thesiscamper to get you moist.


Nonetheless, here are the kits that will be included in this set:
Note the change from 3-1-2-3-4-3 to the profile of 1-1-2-3-4-4
Base Kit

Tsangan

If you’re going for the vintage look, you might as well do it right.
Spacebars

ISO

For cost reasons I have limited the set to have UK ISO only.
The Classic

Are you a boring person who hates fun? These mods are perfect for you! :P
Numpad Kit

RELEGENDABLES!

Do you have a giant ass keyboard? How about matrix keyboard users? That’s right, I thought about you guys!
You may order any number of relegendable row 3 keys to match mods or alphas.
G80 1800!

What better way to celebrate the vintage look than with one of the most beloved vintage layouts?
ErgoDox Kit (all row 3)

I hope tp4 is happy.
Row 3 Alternative OS keys (FT. VELOCICAPTOR)

What better way to complete the look of a prehistoric vintage keyboard than with an old terminal and a dinosaur?
Did I mention the MOTHER ////ING DINOSAUR? Seriously, why the //// not?
Here are all of the colours used in this kit. These have been finalized!

I have been thinking for the longest time that I should make a set in SA because I think it’s just such an intriguing profile.
SA always seemed to me like something that would be best suited for a more “classic” look.
So what I have constructed is a set that uses a very “yellowed” beige look with desaturated RGB and CMYK mods.
The wonderful renders and mockups that you see here are all done by thesiscamper.


This is not a kit. It’s just to give you an idea of the set.

Here are the kits that will be included in this set:

If you are a proud owner of Penumbra and have absolutely no money, then you can save big time and buy the mods only since the alphas are the same!Profiles are however slightly different.

Quote from: renne on Fri, 09 January 2015, 22:19:24 are you doing a 3-1-2-3-4-3 profile? or all row 3?
Like the title states, this is the full sculpt.
Since 3-1-2-3-4-3 is the mainstream thing, it will be what is used.
Quote from: jacobolus on Thu, 08 January 2015, 14:49:32 I don’t think SP has a good enough default “magenta” color for you to really get effective CMY mods.
To fit your theme, I’d go for “yellowed RGB” mods instead. Like, a grungy orangish red, a grungy greenish blue, and a grungy yellowish green. (For instance, BEY, YAV, RDD.) The SP colors still aren’t perfect for that either though, unfortunately.
Or better (whether you want to go for CMY or grungy RGB) you could talk to SP and get them to mix up some custom colors that aren’t on their chip wheel. I’m pretty sure it’s possible, but it might be slightly tricky to communicate the precise color you want to them. They’re not color experts, so it might take a few iterations.
Holy ///*/*snacks!
Your colours actually look really nice!
Here is a mockup comparing the RGB kits:

The left side is BEY, YAV, RDD
The right side is BFT, VAG, RDD
Please provide some feedback on these!
Quote from: honoka on Sat, 10 January 2015, 11:39:51 I’d love me some international kits but I think that would raise price and not everyone would be interested in that.
Instead, might I propose an all blank kit? At least for alphas and number row where legends actually differ. Modifiers and F-rows are fine as they are.
But maybe it would look better if actually every single key were blank? Honestly, I’m here for the color choice and the profile ^^
Since this is the full sculpt instead of row 3, it would raise the price to add full international kits with complete legends.
However, if there is enough interest, I can add a kit that includes 1x1 blanks for every row.
This would allow you to replace all of your alphas which I expect to be good enough.
Quote from: jdcarpe on Sat, 10 January 2015, 18:45:35 How about a kit for ctrl, alt, and shift keys in Penumbra Blue?
If there is enough interest I will definitely be willing to do this! Although I would have to inquire with Bunny about taking his colors.
Please provide as much feedback as you can!
If you think it’s ////, then I would like to know why.
Also, I have no experience running interest checks, so please advise me on what sort of decisions to make. :thumb:
Mod Edit: Updated title to reflect current status :(
