Can I make this work with a TEX Beetle? And would these colors look weird next to the brushed aluminum case? I don't have my keyboard near me, so I hope someone can help...
itchyFor TEX Beetle i recomend you to get: Base kit + Planck/Atomic kit (due to 1 u modifiers) + Novelty kit (for using some novelties as fillers) + 4.5u spacebar. Its almost the same layout as KBT Pure Pro which is exotic, say very not standard. In combination with brushed aluminium case it will not look weird. Still i personaly prefer it on black, gray, beige, white or orange cases. However its just my opinion.
T0mb3ryYour key-set placed upon an all ORANGE keyboard case will be exquisite : )
Have to now look for an Orange keyboard because this key-set DEMANDS IT.
ElrickPlanck is being offered with a orange case. I plan to put orange alphas and the planck kit on it with an orange case. Depending on the shade of orange case being offered it may look amazing.
ElrickAs very costly alternative you may consider a case made of real Carbon Fiber. Its actually the ultimate look. But touching Carbon Fiber is really questionable. It may feel not that good.
T0mb3ryI see how that could work, but I wonder what else is in the pipeline that would be more appropriate for the Beetle (too many kits just to fill out a few odd keys). Some blanks would have been nice in the base kit or as a separate small kit. The Ergodox seems to have hoarded all of them.
Will we see Carbon DSA in the future? I could definitely go for that on a different keyboard. Carbon just doesn't seem right for the Beetle for multiple reasons (I agree that other case colors would have been a more appropriate match). I just hope I don't regret skipping this drop, because I've never seen replacement 4.5u space bars before.
itchyI can't promise right now anything. First this group buy has to end. The end is when customers get their kits. After that i have to think about that happens next. Even if i decide to run another round, guess this will not happen any time soon. There are other Designers with their keysets in pipeline. Maybe i will design another keyset. Who knows.
T0mb3rySince this set that you've designed looks to be the MOST successful here on MD, please do work on MORE key-sets within the near future.
Love your work T0mb3ry : )
wlhlmThis will be hard one dont know how to achieve northern lights. Maybe making it backlit. Dont know if i make this next. I got 3 designs in mind. But until i start something new i want to finish Carbon.
