Deadline 2012-02-31

You mean 2012-02-29 do you ?

i don't find cherry150 on the wiki, is it the same as modifier 150 in Cherry style ?

I want equal rights for every month!


There is no reason February gets only 28/29 days!

CHERRYBLACK150 5 10 Supplement (2xAlt, 2xControl, 7u space)

It is 2x Alt and 2x Control and a 7 units space bar to match Cherry key caps as best as they can.

I've got quite a lot of orders for these so this kit should survive on its own.

ohmygodohmygodohmygod!

There really is a spherical set for Terminal keyboards that will fit G80-2551? And a NEO Layout set? I got so used to ignoring this group buy that I didn't see these. Now all I have to do is to get so much money in so little time... Is the pricelist still up to date?

So
SPH/VIMCAPS
SPH/TERMINALDE
SPH/SPACE/BLUE
SPH/NEO
SPH/COMMODOREESC

would be 175$ + Shipping? Wow, never thought I would spend so much money on keycaps one day...

I really have to think about this... I'll make a decision until the deadline is over...

[7bit]

...
SPH/VIMCAPS
SPH/TERMINALDE
SPH/SPACE/BLUE
SPH/NEO
SPH/COMMODOREESC
@localhost

^^^You sent this to 7bit_R4 ?

Maybe your order ensures that the prices for sphericals can go down a bit, so it will be only $174 plus shipping.

[RC-1140]

hmm, before I can send the order email to the bot I have to ensure that I can get the money together. If I can, then I will order. (I'm still a student, so I don't have too much money, and I already spent around 100€ on Keyboards and Dye Sub Keycaps this month. Not to mention the 2 Cherry G80-2551...

I really fear that I can't afford these. Especially because my mother keeps telling me not to spend so much money on keyboards.

[Icarium]

1. Are there any multi-shots in this? Yes, I know it's called DOUBLESHOTS RR4 but I'm asking anyway.

2. What are people getting for their Tipros? I would like some keycaps to build custom layouts but I suppose they would all have to be size 1 (even the modifiers) and all equal height.

3. How much would a different layout be? Thinking about getting a Programmers Dvorak...

Here are the section that might interest you:

This is what you can do with these (key caps will have a different color-scheme):

Ah, yes, I've seen your Tipro layout before somewhere.
All these options are making my head hurt. I think I'll just try some blanks with different heights.

Not that this solves my problem. Does somebody have pictures of spherical and cylindrical and whatever other styles there are?

[Gilgam]

cylindrical are common keycaps
Spherical are like this http://deskthority.net/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=1381
nice isn't it ?

On the R4 wiki you can find nice drawings of the different styles (wiki bottom right).

[Icarium]

The spherical ones are awesome.

When's the deadline for other Phantom orders?

[kps]

When's the deadline for other Phantom orders?

Phantom (switches, PCBs, etc.) deadline is today. Keycap deadline is as yet unknown.

[7bit]

When's the deadline for other Phantom orders?

Phantom (switches, PCBs, etc.) deadline is today. Keycap deadline is as yet unknown.

I will order the switches in a few days and I will order a bit more than ordered, so you can still order after the deadline until all switches are sold out.



ps: Sorry I don't take care of Round 4 today. Too busy with a really successful group buy ...

Qui trop embrasse bien mal étreint / You should not bite off more than you can chew (much nicer in French)

You 've done a fantastic work but there is definitely too many choices, even if i agree with some of these.The correct balance beetween choices and number of orders for each is as usual hard to find...

[mintberryminuscrunch]

aaaah... did you kick some space bar colors?

[7bit]

Not that I know. I did not kick anything because of the Phantom group buy.

But now that you metion it ...

[7bit]

Qui trop embrasse bien mal étreint!

Merci pour la recommandation!

I've done what I announced: I removed a lot of kits from BLOOD and ORANJE.


Now, the statistics look clean and short. No mess anymore:

Hi
Can you tell me the difference between Tenkeyless I initially ordered and the TKl i see now in my order?

[7bit]

I've dropped TENKLESS, STANDARD125 and STANDARD150 plus all language kits for BLOOD and ORANJE.

TKL contains all keys needed for a Filco tenkeyless and STANDARD is quite a fat kit for a wide range of keyboards.

Better to have these 2 instead of no ORANJE or BLOOD at all, right?

If I well remember, TKL won't fit my Noppoo nor my Poker as a full kit

Then take STANDARD. Or just decide for a different color.

The J-shape Return does not exist in the measures we would need, so it must be a 2 units vertical key.

Key caps sizes are in units of single keys. A 7 units space bar is 7 normal (A-Z) keys wide.


^^^ As you can see, IBM keyboards have Return keys which are quite similar to what you will have with the SPH style, just the step will be missing.

7bit, just read this part, little worried about how the SPH/UKISO TKL will look with a gap in it.

Saw a pic of the round3 setup

http://deskthority.net/viewtopic.php?f= ... 250#p33250

Is that an option for me to switch to the round 3's and the return key it uses and avoid the problem?

It is onlt a problem with the sphericals, not the cylindricals.

Also, I would not complain if there where more orders for ROUND3 style.

[dirge]

An option for a cylindrical return may be nice for ISO layouts? Just don't like the idea of having large gap there.

Otherwise will the round3 style cover my needs of ISO/UK layout?

No and Yes.

There is no J-return as we would need it. Demands for it are quite low and we spend enough on the 2 space bars (6.25 and 7 units).

[dirge]

Thanks for clearing that up, I'll have a think what to do next

[Swede]

So only 2x vertical as a ISO enter? Hmmm.. Maybe I'll make my own, I'm going to have a lot of spill from the alublock from which my case is going to be made from.. Might as well use it

I'll have a big chunk if alu left after the initial cuts, so I will probably be able to make a few iso enters from it.

I've got your message in the outbox file. Don't know what went wrong.
Nevertheless, pm sent.

Hi 7bit,
Thanks but I received this one.
But The modification I made by removing the TKL kit the day after hasn't been taken into account.
I've put BLOOD/TKL 0 and my email adress.
Should I do it again?

No:
BLOOD/SPACE,1
ROUND3/SPACE/GREY,1
ROUND3/SPACENEW/GREY,1
ROUND3/STANDARD,1
^^^So it seems one message got lost.

On the first page of the wiki it states that RETRO/STANDARD and RETRO/SPACE should be $77US + Shipping.

Last time I checked the RETRO/STANDARD with a SPACE is $141. Have prices gone up that much from Signature Plastics? or was the initial estimate based on 250 quantity or something?

Anyways time to change the wiki. (done)

Shit!

Too many places to be updated.

The pricelist in the wiki is correct.

I'm currently re-calculating ROUND3 style....
