I also would love to try a Torpe but there are none locally to me. I also think I would switch to them if I did get a test.

It would most likely not be worth it. Thank you for answering.

Can I ask what you thought of the Gator Pink's after using them for a while. I should say that I normally use Cherry Browns.

Hello. I would be interested in the Tada68 keyboard as you have used the switches that I would want. Can you tell me if I could set it up as UK layout or does the frame not allow that?

I solved the problem by using the white set from my WEY keyboard. The result I am very happy with. Alls well that ends well. Thanks again 7bit. Looking forward to R5.

That is clearly not BFQ (light blue) as mentioned in the Round 4 Retro Wiki. Sounds like someone went ahead with another shade of blue without informing 7bit.

That is what I think, not 7bits fault but still a fook up. Its a pity because I was so looking forward to them. I cant use them on a day ...

You must have modified your images a lot to make the blue look dark in those pictures. It looks nowhere as dark in real life.

Nice keyboard BTW.

1 thing: Am I the only one having a hard time seeing the text on the retro keys in daylight?

NO, everything is perfect apart from one small point which is the caps are unreadible.

Here is another low contrast image close up that shows how much lighter the caps are,

Maybe they ran out of BCQ and used something lighter without asking.

I honestly think that this could be the case. 7bit the picture is excatly as they are, I am not making this up :cry: , the letters on these keys are unreadable.

I can also confirm that the colour of the blue used on my caps ...

You wanna know why I didn't order RETRO?
Because I knew this beforehand.
How you ask?
I looked it up in the wiki before ordering. http://deskthority.net/wiki/Doubleshot_Replacements_Round_4#Quick_order_guide
The attachment doesn't work anymore, thanks to r00tworm. But the contrast on that pic was ...

I really do appreciate all the hard work that 7bit has put into this huge buy, but to say I was not dissapointed would be a lie. After a year and many $$$ I am unable to use the caps I bought because you simply cannot read them. They dont look anywhere as dark as your image.

Picture attached with ...

7bit,

My order arrived very well packaged and all present (so far). Quality is as good as before however ...

the pale blue on the light grey keys is unreadable. I am sorry to have to report but although the system keys look fantastic in dark grey with light blue, the QWERTY keys dont work at all ...

I still wait to get the replacements. Ask SP why they did not declare the shipping properly.

Once I got the replacements, I can ship any of the orders. They are all completely sorted, just some keys missing or wrong.

I fully understand and really appreciate everything 7bit has and is doing ...

7bit,

Any update on the suspected dispatch date of my order or indded orders for the people waiting on replacement keys from R3?

The SPH are very very nice looking. I now wish I had ordered those as well. The R3 Retro set looks good but I have been typing on them for over a year so they seem normal now.

Great stuff, keep the pictures coming.

Thats great news, problem is I cant for the life of me remember all the caps that were either missing from or needing replaced out of the R3. Do you have a record of them?

"Some orders require replacements from SP"

Does this mean that R3 Missing and buggerup caps are being replaced with this shipment? If so how much longer do you think we will have to wait?

Its been emotional guys ....... I love you guys so freeking much

I will get my order in first. Send me as much SPH stuff as possible and I guess try and send sueful combinations of keys. I think I ordered 10 x Dummy so that is quite a few caps.

I had already ordered them and they do appear to work on my Filco with the Round3 retro caps.

The O-rings arrived from the US today. Look like they will do the job well. Just waiting on my caps, ahem, wink, wink.

Just ordered some o-ring dampeners for under these new caps

Any recommended retailer to purchase the o-rings from? What size/"hardness" (forgot the 'correct' term for it) did you get?

I ordered the 40A-L (softest) of the O-Rings as I dont want to remove the sound of my MX Brown Filco but ...

#0265, is that there or was it skipped

7bit, are the missing and fooked up key caps from round3 going to be shipped with this order? If so how do you still remember what keys I for example need replaced?

I suppose that crazy computer of yours has all this stored along with the number of times I have asked and forgot the answer to ths ...

That said, does anyone have a full UK set of Sphericals they want to part with now, before postage starts?

Personally I feel that only those that have felt the pain of time passing should have the authority to own such rare caps. Having watched my hair turn grey'er during this insane GB I dont want some whipper snapper to pop in now and buy a full set of caps, thus having avoided the many thousands of ...

Now theres a keycap


Just on the offchance, does anyone feel like selling me a full UK set of sphericals at this late stage?
