Description

IC Form

Hello Geekhack.

My name is Tanghus, and I am a serial lurker. With my first IC in this hobby, I have come to tempt you with a keyset.

The set was originally conceived as a project for the Danish community, and while initial response in the community has been good - Signature Plastic's (SP) prices surely have not.

The colourway is definitely inspired and if you are acquainted with Danish culture, or god forbid a Dane, you will know the inspiration.

The kitting is based on similar small DCS runs seen in the community to keep decent compatibility while not breaking the bank (or at least not most of it).
The pricing seen in the IC form is based surely on initial quotes from SP with no thought to making a profit on the run and even taking money out of my own pocket. Which is a pretty dumb idea. I agree.

Current Kitting:
Render by a Guy You Surely Have Heard Of

The beautiful kitting render was later brutally mutilated by yours truly in Photoshop to add a 1U R1 Backspace.

Should you wish to follow the recipe at home, the SP colours used are:
Base:
Legends: YDJ
Alphas: VCS
Modifiers: VDR

Alternate modifiers:
Legends: WFV
Shift: RFP
Ctrl: OBP
Alt: BGW

Pricing:
Absolutely.

These are the raw quotes from SP without new molds. New molds are $50 a piece, which is pretty reasonable.
Additional cost of 3-4 molds shown in brackets should be added to the price.
20 sets - $196.73 per set (Additional moldcost: $7.5-10)
25 sets - $162.25 per set (Additional moldcost: $6-8)
50 sets - $141.56 per set (Additional moldcost: $3-4)
75 sets - $100.17 per set (Additional moldcost: $2-2.67)

The following keys would require new molds:
Pant A novelty
1U R1 '*
1.5U R2 '*

Unsure:
R1 1U Backspace

The above pricing is raw manufacturing cost from SP and not even shipping from SP is included.

Vendors:
I am perfectly capable of driving myself into financial ruin all on my own.

Thanks:
You know, I have been told not to mention the one guy that helped me out the most here. But let us thank Brian.
The Danish community for being exactly the nerds they are.
And lastly thanks to Signature Plastics for being who they are and continiously cucking a hobby that is willing to do business with them.
