MiniVan R2 Keycaps Feedback Update

Jul 6, 20164069 VIEWS

Hello you beautiful people! I took all your wonderful comments from my first keycap post and attempted to make sense of it. I reworked the colors into fewer options than I had before and expanded the modifiers a bit. I'm leaning heavily towards the DSA profile for this run, but if I had really really really good reason to do something else I would consider it.
At first I was sure that I was going to go with the Burnout set (orange, black, and gray) but with all the recent orange sets that have just been produced and are scheduled, I haven't been as sold. I really started to look at the greenish/blue with the higher contrast dark and light grays.
The feedback I'm looking for at this point is again, which color scheme you like the best, but also take a look at the keys and let me know if there any you would like to see added. Remember with DSA profile all the caps are the same and can be placed anywhere. Let me know if you would like to see additional accent keys.
Option A: LightCycle

Option B: SeaFarer - a bit more subdued than LightCycle

Option C: Burnout (Dark) - This set looks kind of holloweeny to me

Option D: Burnout (Light) - These colors if not the same are very close to Hack'd by Geeks set. I would want to talk to the creators of that set before running this one as a courtesy.

I really like the LightCycle set myself as I feel it is a fairly unique set that has a feel similar to TRON, one of my favorite movies. In Round 2 of the MiniVan there will be support for an alternate bottom row that allows for an extra key. Using the question mark with the three keys below you could add dedicated arrows.

@evangs I’m in with all those who voted for the LightCycle. I’m don’t need any more orange themes. Actually I’m burnt out of orange themes since I’m expecting an orange Preonic, this SA carbon which is heavily orange themed of which I’ve order a large amount of sets for.
I keep checking on your site for the rerelease of turqois case along with the matching set of the number pad. Also your purple rain with the matching purple case would be a nice change.

I can't find the burnout options in the drop are they available later or not at all in the drop?

I love the looks of LightCycle. Any plans to release a set for bigger boards? This would look great on my WhiteFox @evangs

Could you make a LightCycle (Dark) version? Or preferrably called, the DarkCycle. :)

I don't have a Van but I do have a 40%, I would immediately join a drop with a keycap set compatible with my board, it's pretty annoying to find just the right set.

I'm all in for the lightcycle option - though like one of the other commenters said, I would have liked a light alphas option. Though totally understand about keeping options/cap counts low for cost reasons. I'm definitely in when this drops, crossing fingers that LightCycle will be the cap set we get (fellow Tron fans unite) haha

I really like the code, hack, and turbo keys, for me as a programmer, these keys are fun and very appealing to have

I love it. Some of the special characters take a little bit to get used to, but once you do I think you'll find you really like it.

Space65:CyberVoyager -- 65% Custom Keyboard

[image] Picture of the finished build (with GMK 8008) taken by Alexotos We are very excited that the R1 Space65 has been very well received. Since keyboard was sent out, we have received a lot of positive feedback, which prompted us to further improve the keyboard and make a sequel. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Motivation for the Sequel: Cyberpunk The word ‘Cyber’ comes from the cybernetics theory and sciences. In 1948, Robert Wiener coined this word to define the control theory, with a focus on how animals and machinery control and communicate each other, including the synergy of human brain and machines. Therefore, Cyberpunk typically comes with a touch of sci-fi feel in the popular culture. I got to know the Cyberpunk culture from the the science fiction True Names by Vernor Vinge. The book depicted a future world wherein individuals use virtual identities to control real world resources and...
