This can be extended if need be, feel free to continue to post ideas and input in this thread
deskthority-related-f17/deskthority-key-caps-t3209-30.html

Oh and what should these keycaps be made out of? what colour schemes etc etc and what type of key caps
(cherry IBM etc etc) post this here too

Input for these designs can go in this thread and we will work from here.

I am currently not organizing this group buy, and we are not even at that stage yet, so do not pm me about buying.
Feel free to pm me or any other designers with question, input constructive criticism, requests etc etc

Happy Voting
RougeR

Input from others

Input from Kint:

- Yet undecided is who is going to make them, although Sleabo/Qwerkeys were mentioned several times.
- This is just about a general design, all the above and positive/negative may be changed /polled later on.
Please note the slight differences in Design, i.e. Webwit's "D" being an all face design, whilst Deathadder2 is just an icon on the cap's face.

sorry i've done fiddling with it, had options which were pmed to be added, wont be messed with any more
also you can now vote for up to 4

does adding more options scrap results?
does changing number of votes available scrap results?

I dunno.
I just voted, looked at poll, zero votes.
Voted again, only mine were there.
So yeah, I think adding options reset the poll.

Not sure what did it but I noticed it as well. Btw, we should check what 7bit plans are, he was planning some deskthority key after round 4 if I remember correctly.

I think webwit's and DeathAdder's "D" symbols are quite similar, so I'm not sure which one to vote of the two :D, just picked webwit's for now...

Yeah they should be combined. Hmm, I'd just manually add them up instead of change it now, not sure what will happen then.

In fact webwit's is better as it is a two tone double shot (just add my name to webwit's for credit :D) ;)

That may be, but the search for rindorbrot brings up so much memories for me :)
(but also kinda scary to see what google knows about me ;))

Agreed. I see them as different, but either could be a refinement of the other. The winning design(s) will be refined after voting anyway, I guess.

Deskthority is sort of a single word so the single D key makes sense.
But the DT does as well since that's what many refer to it as when typing it.
Do a set with both.

Has anyone considered a R3 key to replace the regular D key with one that has a Deskthority D?

I simply like DT because the reversed color fields are typographically more interesting.

Plus, it is just a plastic key. And when you buy multiples you get the DTs.

I like options 7 and 11 in mx. Option 7 might look better with the t in lower case.
Other than that I am really pleased this is being talked about.

Edit: Awesome auto correct changed "t" to "team"

3, 7 or 11. Maybe the authors could do a Tri-Color version so we can see what it would look like with QWERKeys B-Series?

Ripster might be able to mock something up, my work with graphic software is errr messy to say the least.

I'm thinking we take 2 top 1x1 keycaps for this and then hold a second poll for the other keycaps i.e spacebar, 1.25, shift etc etc

I really think option 7 is great. And I definitely would love the black on white one in dyesubbed on PBT for IBM and Cherry. I definitely want a Buckling Spring Deskthority keycap!

Wow, someone voted for my design! Not sure if serious... :lol:

Actually, I reckon there might be a cool design based on the idea of using 'dt' as part of a differential... but that's probably not it :D
