[ Closed ] Vim SA Doubleshot key

[JBert]

It still needs a credit card I guess?

or paypal

[JBert]

I tried that last time, then Paypal went on to ask me for a credit card.

[Laser]

If i remember well, the true pay with paypal form was on the lower right of the payment options, i think the page went to display full options (pay with credit card etc.) and the paypal login-and-pay option was somehow not too visible. If memory serves.

When Alin started this GB we never ever hoped it will be such a success, we just wanted our Vim key caps and were ready to pay premium for our favorite editor

So we are really happy so many Vim fans are out there

728! 1h 40min to go

i miss the caps lock vim key

[demonkoryu]

Yeah caps lock is what i use too. ;(

[alinh]

I opted for 1u key because that's what SP had on file from mtl's previous group buy.

These days I mainly use Ergodox, but I could also use a "Caps Lock" Vim key (non-stepped ofc ). Maybe we can organize a GB for this... we have a few more ideas for "geeky keycaps"

[Laser]

There could be an entire vim-oriented keyset, starting from something like this:



and adapted to look good on actual keycaps:

- intuitive symbols (instead of cheatsheet descriptions)
- different keycap colors by role (operator, command, motion)
PLUS:
- localleader & globalleader keys available in every row profile

Mind reader!!!! That's exactly what I was thinking of

Me -> Melissa
One problem though :

"Does SP have the capabilities to add more than one legend
per key? (example picture attached)

If so, the following set would probably attract a lot of people :

"Alin-

Multiple colored text and font would have to be done by either sublimation or pad printing. This is possible and is done for a variety of other customers.

Thanks!"

[alinh]

"It’s over!"

"Bummer! You just missed this deal!"

OK so which one of you bought 200+ caps to get rich?

[Laser]

cool - so it's possible we would need a good designer (like matt3o) with strong vim interest.

(some vim-heavy-used keys could also be front printed)

So mind reading ability is proportional to distance

Yeah. This kit needs a bit more planning than a single keycap gb

To avoid future information disclosures I bought myself a tinfoil hat from ebay. Pics incoming

[Mr.Bean]

A little taste of round 5.

[alinh]

Whoa that looks nice!

Post more pics of that ED also

[DanielT]

Today also the organizers received their Vim caps

Colour comparison with a previous version in DCS profile. The one from this groupbuy is a little bit brighter.

Is the DCS version pad printed? It looks super sharp, but layered on top of the rough plastic.

Or maybe your focus is a little off on the doubleshot! Those should be tack sharp, too.

[Daniel]

Both are doubleshots from signature plastics.
The described effect might come from my script which I use to resize my pictures:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
mkdir /tmp/small
cd $1
for f in *.JPG
do convert $f -resize 800x -unsharp 2x0.5+0.7+0 -strip /tmp/small/$f
done
feh -F -Z /tmp/small/*

I added the unsharp parameter some time ago, because of a blogpost which showed how the resizing affected the sharpness of the pictures.

Were there any extra by chance? Or anyone looking to sell one of theirs if they bought a couple? =]

[DerpyDash_xAD]

I don't know but I think orignative has lookalikes for sale.

Edit: Sorry, I meant Techkeys. http://techkeys.us/collections/keys/products/vim-key

Where are you located? I might spare one Vim cap

[teuf]

I'd be interested in buying one as well to someone close to France, the $9 shipping for techkeys is a bit too high

[DanielT]

If you can wait just a little bit more on June 30th a new GB will be launched on PMK, including Vim keycap, this time in a new profile. We will create a dedicated thread with this, in fact update the IC thread

That's completely awesome. I'm in USA/Iowa. If that's too far, no worries =]

Also, are you the one that coordinates these? I'm one of the people involved with Neovim (which is why I want a Vim keycap so badly) and I think the community would absolutely love this for Neovim. Do you have any contact information on investigating this more?

Edit 2: Actually, I wouldn't mind creating a groupbuy, I just have no idea how any of it works. Any information/help would be great =]

Cheers!

I just wanted to let you know that I think Neovim is a fantastic effort and I'm very happy that it exists. So thank you!

About the group buy: as far as I know, there's another one in the works along with a Debian swirl. I guess DanielT and alinh will know the most about that. Otherwise, I'm pretty sure you could re-run another Vim key GB with Signature Plastics.

[DanielT]

Next week a GB will start on PMK and will contain 3 types of Vim key caps. The Vim caps will be child deals in the Debian GB.

You didn't convince them to add a Sun logo?!

Oh, I'll never get that Who in his right mind would dare to mess with Oracle and Larry ))))
But one day..... I will find a way
