Well, since we're not going to see the kit below in all colors, I am ready to go with my order as it stands. No more additions from me!

@zslane:

Yep, your significant other (SO).

I ordered some R5 leftovers in my R5A order. In the invoice, below the R5A items and before the R5 leftovers it says:

LOCKED | items that can't be cleared

Does this indicate a problem?

I don't usually have dreams involving Mrs Petersen.

No. I need to lock down those orders to pack them. If I pack and somone removes an item, this would be not so nice.

You can dream on about her but do know that Mr. Petersen shall visit you at night, rip off your right arm and beat you senseless with it.

Sweet dreams...... .

All I dream is that every time I open a box, key caps have
- the wrong color
- too thick legends
- too thin legends
- mirrored legends
- upside-down legends
- kerning trouble

I received a tracking number from the bot about 2 weeks ago. I haven't received anything yet. On which site do I enter the tracking number in order to find out what's going on?

DHL's site, presumably. My invoice pointed me to www.dhl.de

Been resisting asking the same question for a while now. dhl.de gives me the same result even if I use the tracking number RM000000000DE. And the Show Status link gives me no result even when I put in a couple weeks worth of different posting dates.

DHL simply screwing up is of course always a possibility. I got a tracking number, but all it enabled me to do was track the journey of my package to the sorting terminal and then back to 7bit in Berlin because, well, reasons (the package was "not accepted", but they didn't tell either me or 7bit why). 7bit will make a new attempt to post my package today. It will be interesting to see what DHL manage to do with it this time. I'm half expecting them to deliver me an empty box, or ship my keycaps to Norway or something because it's 'almost the same place'. Fun times.

It might be the batch that did not yet ship.

Please try in a few hours, the date of today or tomorrow.

That son of a bitch told me it had already shipped! I spent bundles, they're crazy. I don't think I will ever get it. They betrayed me, they didn't keep their promise, they tricked me and I don't care anymore!

Alright enough The Room quotes. Thanks 7bit, I'll keep checking.

Received my five (5!) whole key caps from the R5 leftovers. Thanks 7bit!

7bit!!!

Any new shipments?

Thank you!

Hey 7bit, I have a great idea. You add a set of alphas and numnums in BE blue and I can delete my IC thread. Call them HONEYB/ALPHA/DASHER and HONEYB/NUMNUM/DASHER. I think the BE alphas would pair up nicely with the BFP blue keys already in Round 5a.

I suppose for extra credit, you could also add a HONEYB/TKLBASE/DASHER and they could be combined with the BFP blue alphas to create the DANCER colorway.

(I know my wallet is safe because 7bit is just going to laugh at me.)

I'm quite sure both colors are too close that it would look good:



You would need a darker blue:

^^^ No, this is too blue.


BBJ is again too similar to BFP and BE ...

Or even better, get a color sample ring from Signature Plastics (about $35 plus shipping).


Here the original:


Look here to find some other options:

Doh! You're totally right about that.

Okay, how about a Dasher TKLBASE and NUMOP in BBJ or BBQ then? Or, if you want to support both Dasher and Dancer with only two kits, then TENKLESS and NUMPAD in BBJ or BBQ.

The whole idea would be to make use of the BFP blue kits already in Round 5a and find a good (lighter) blue to match up with it, rather than to duplicate Facetsame's replica effort.

FYI, SP stopped selling color rings for a while. They're back now but listed at $200.

So... yeah. I think Melissa mentioned they were going to start selling them by the chip but that hasn't materialized.

How does that not surprise me! SP: never knowingly self aware. They've unlearned and messed up more stuff than we can ever hope to pay them to improve.

Anyway, Facet already colour matched a real live Dasher. This is quite redundant!

I got one for free with my last shipping.


Also: We have already 9 different color-combinations, I will not add any more.

Surprise the cream and violet Milka chocolate brigade when they open up their orders to find a Dasher blue upgrade inside! Way more stylish.

Yeah, I suppose I can wait until 2018 for Facet's replica keysets.

It's not the Milka color!

Sure it is! Prove otherwise.

Not sure this is the right thread, but I seem to be missing one keycap from my order. [Yeah, I know; why am I complaining, right?]

Is there a way to just get a single keycap? It's just a Row3 "Q" in black - anyone in the US have some spares?

If it helps, I think I still have a credit pending, should cover shipping.
