Was feeling creative today and decided to give a go at
designing a GameCube themed set. I decided on SA because it
reminds me of the GameCube controller’s nice smooth
curves.
(Take 1 old renders)
More
New renders, taking suggestions into
consideration!
So, I originally had these gray mods, but while
working on it switched to the black. The reason was because
I wanted to have gray WASD with the “controller” layout. If
the mods are also gray, then they kind of combine with WASD
and the effect is lost. This admittedly blind-sighted me a
bit for how well the set looked without the controller
layout, as that’s what I was fixated on. Unsurprisingly, the
controller layout has been the most popular.
The
compromise in these new renders is simply no WASD cluster,
and simply let the left mods represent the left side of the
controller’s directional controls. The green/red
representation can be configured either as a traditional
Enter/Esc, or as right-side Shift/Alt (with the Shift being
larger than the Alt, just as how A is bigger than B) to
mimic the controller. They’re blank to increase layout
compatibility and reduce the number of needed enumerations
(this could also be solved by double-shotting “A”, “B”, etc
legends, but that decision would likely be decided by the
price difference). There could also be 1.25u / 1.5u / 1u
green and yellow blanks for giving color representation in a
more minimalistic way to smaller layouts.
The more I
think about it, the more I think the controller keys should
be in their own pack. I think this set in just gray/purple
has the potential to be popular among people who don’t
necessarily have strong feelings/memories for the Gamecube,
and omitting the controller pack from the main set will
bring down the cost down, making it more accessible. The
only problem if there are a lot of people who ONLY want the
set if the controller pack runs… I suppose that can be a
purchase option (kind of like how you can commit to
purchasing at a MOQ price on Massdrop).
As always,
thoughts/opinions appreciated
