This an Interest Check/Poll for a Calm Depths rerun. I have
already contacted SP, the original designer/creator of the
keyset for his permission. The point of this poll is to
gather enough interest to make this legendary keyset
available to the community. Here are some of the kits I want
to support :

.
Please note that those kits will undergo major
changes in the future.
I’d like to gather opinions on
what should be supported since this was a community created
keyset.
Here is the (NEW!) Massdrop Poll :

Ninja edit : Here’s the confirmation of the original
leader of the GB for the non-sayers :

And Melissa’s approval :

Update 7-13:
Updated
extensions, mods and added macros.
Update 7-07:
More renders ! A
big thanks again to Oblotzky!
Update 6-27:
We have some sweet
renders ! Thanks Oblotzky !
He’s still in the process of doing the renders with
the promise of a few more kits to come :
- Ergodox (maybe)
- 40%
- Ortho/Planck
- Arrows (both base colors)
- Dvorak & Colemak
- NorDeUK (or UK and NorDe split)
- GTA spacebars
- Spacekeys (both base colors)
- Community kit
-
Accent kit (maybe)
Update 5-25:
So I contacted Melissa at
SP and well I have bad news and/or good news depending on
your point of view. She told me they’re booked until May
next year. So, assuming the 6 months + of production and
then shipping we’re looking at end of 2018 which I don’t
think will fly with anybody (I wouldn’t).
So now we’re
faced with a choice : MaxKey SA or DSA SP if they can do it
before May 2018. I also added 1.75u shift and the missing
ISO key !
Second update : Melissa told me DSA was
booked until September this year which I find could be
reasonable. It would give me the time to finish designing
the kits and in a perfect world we could have a GB up on
Massdrop in June (I hope so!). I know DSA wasn’t the
original plan but I feel like there is enough demand for the
kit in DSA and a SA kit could really be done when SP’s queue
clears up/increase their production/etc. I will put up a
poll for this tomorrow and talk with doom2 and Obloztky of
these changes. Nothing is set in stone and nothing forbids a
R3 SA Calm Depths!
Update 5-24:
I
know it’s been a long time since I did an update but I’m
finally free !
Also, since I’m not as active on
Geekhack as I would like, user doom2 offered help with the
unofficial updates of the set and will be able to answer the
majority of your questions.
You can also always contact
me on reddit under /u/Crapiface.
I decided to change
the way kits were offered and was wondering what sculpting
we could use so I have created a poll to cumulate
results.
Here’s the link :

If you choose the “Other” option please comment.
Now…
the big changes.
Instead of doing multiple small kits I
think it would be easier to offer a basic kit, pictured here
:
and then work from there with the community. Since I
want to do this Group Buy as fast as possible, I’ll will NOT
design novelties. This will have to wait for a 3rd (counting
the original) round.
Also, I currently am pondering the
possibility to do a 40% adapter kit and an international
kit.
Concerning the international kit I will take
inspiration from other sets as I never had an international
kit myself. I will also take suggestions.
The current
official kits are the Ergodox (it’s the same as the
original) and the basic kit.
Update 4-18:
Sorry I have been away for quite a time since I’m not
active on Geekhack and I had major things come up in the
meantime.
I am still waiting on an update from Massdrop
and I believe I will not hear from them for a while because
of SP’s backlog. I am currently looking at other options and
I am leaning towards a DSA set because I feel the keyset
NEEDS to be re-run and because of SP’s backlog and lack of
competitors I find that maybe I’ll need to find another
company to do it. I also feel like this keyset needs the big
centered legends.
I’ll update the IC as I go but if you
want more details you can contact me easily on reddit :
/u/Crapiface.
Thanks for all the support!
