Aw poor you, having to wait sooo long. I ordered mine in September... 2014

I did get the keycaps in the mean time though.

0632, received!

Edit: Will check through the order to make sure I got the right one, of course

Happened to me too. Surprise honeywell is best honeywell

Was almost drooling but slurped back up midway as a I remind myself:

That Cherry board is probably a PCB-mounted build.
It is still a nice board (just for my taste) if it has some vintage blues, or for some other also some vintage browns.

I like Cherry's vintage blacks, but probably not in a PCB ...

This is my second creation with Round5/6 keycaps:

The reality is not so different from your dream setup, but your "inspiration" sucks - I mean, to say it in a polite way, Amtrak has lots of rooms to improve their service:

It's far behind Europe, and it's now starting to lag behind the ...

Reality:

great news, well-waited! how big was your order?

This was still left to ship:

HONEYB/TENKLESS/BLACK |TENKLESS black kit |129.00| 1| 97| 129.00
HONEYB/TENKLESSBASE/RED |TENKLESS base red kit | 79.00| 1| 50| 79.00
HONEYB/ALPHA/GREY |ALPHA grey kit | 59.00| 1| 49| 59.00

OMG!

After more than 3 years (order placed 29 September 2014 (!) ), my keycaps have finally come home.

you can keep my $0.40 too

Well seeing as there is not an unlimited amount of invoices to be paid, it's bound to taper off at some point.

Yes well we need money now to get phase 2 going.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the big elephant in the room that former paypal collectors SL89 and mashby may have run off with a large part of the funding of this group buy?

If that's the case, there will not be enough money to run phase 2 ...

phinix wrote: Alright, didn't know that phase2 started 1.5 years ago. I thought R6 was pretty fresh thingy:)

Not 1.5 years. It was announced on 23 Sep 2014.

That's 2 years, 2 months and 9 days ago.

2 years ago and not even made?
That can't be right, right?
AFAIK, only phase 2 of R6 hasn't been made yet and don't think this has been announced 2 years ago.
Or was it?

Round6 (formerly known as HONEYB or Round5A) was announced in September 2014.

And yes, I paid my order way back then and most ...

My daily driver this week, a Cherry G80 with Filco SA keycaps and a touch of Retro SA

HONEYB/TKL
HONEYB/SPACE625/GREY
HONEYB/ESCAPE/RED
HONEYB/RETURN225/RED

as far as I can make out (with a grey space bar)

Shouldn't that be HONEYB/SPACE625/WHITE ?

Ok, no objections on the SHIF T keys in Row4

7bit wrote: Why not?

It's worse to type on too.

I have both Round5 and Retro, and I prefer the R3 bottom row of Round5. People generally use their thumbs to activate the bottom row modifiers, so the sharper edge of R4 mods digs into the thumbs.

Halvar wrote: You're right, I don't really regret buying Round 5. It's beautiful. But, you know, the caps are always more burgundy on your neighbor's keyboard...

You could have gotten them both, like I did

ramnes wrote: That double @ really makes me laugh everytime.

What's with that anyway? What keyboard layout has @ on the Q key? Certainly isn't US or US international layout, because then you get ä if you press AltGr+Q

Looks very similar to this one, of which I've been trying to find out for ages what terminal it is exactly

Finally got my R5 caps. Yay!

I went for the classic honeywell theme:





They are surprisingly difficult to photograph because of the contrast between the deep black and the ultra bright white.

That's a 122-key Model F terminal keyboard, and an IBM 3180 terminal.

Do you do requests?

Could you do something like this:


Inspired by this btw:

MOAR

The "Graphite" one looks really cool by the way. A bit Dolch-y, but the deep black really makes it pop.

Is it just me, or are the legends on the numrow and function row dancing all over the place?

I had some time (and proper light) this weekend to take some pictures of my keyboards. Just thought I'd share them here. All pics are taken with the camera of my humble OnePlus One. Enjoy :)

Good catch on the space bar! Thank you! It will go on a TKL ANSI board with a standard bottom row.

Also, thanks for the information on the colors. I don't consider myself to be a stickler for specific colors, but I guess it's better to eliminate surprises if I'm spending a lot and waiting a long ...
