My camera is bad, so I will spare you pictures. There are enough very nice pictures already.

F62 normal black case with standard ANSI layout and black unprinted keys arrived Friday.

**Test/Turn Up**

I did not have to reseat any keys. All keypresses were normal straight out of the box. US to US ...

Not trying to be toxic or add stress, but can we provide assistance? Is there something this community can do?

Napkin math...

Current rate shows 1700 days to completion of early bird round. An 800+% increase in shipping rate is needed to complete early bird round before January 2021 (200 ...

ok. hype cancelled then.

blank key low/custom serials are essentially ready to ship right? only thing left is your qc process and everything is complete.... or are we still waiting on some other part?

i want to be hype. is that allowed?

I have only ordered the "PANIC" keys from unicomp, and I bought them in every color.

None of the legends are printed in the same position. They honestly look atrocious as they are off center on both axis/axes?. I don't have any normal legend keycaps, but these novelty keys are really bad.They even ...

How many have are we waiting for them to assemble in total?

I see these numbers:
June 19, 400 assembled;
June 26, 700 assembled, and are moving at 50 per day;
June 29, 800 assembled;
July 20, half done;

At 50 per business day, then by July 20th, that should be about 1550 assembled keyboards. If ...

@ellipse

I meant the other way around.

I ordered black F62, and am going to be attempting to match the F50 to that black.

How hard would it be to match the powder coat on this?

I have an F50 on hand just waiting to match this board. Assuming its not possible to ship this to the factory they were powder coated for an exact match... is there some sort of specifications I can provide another powder coat service to get an ...

so was 2017 and 2018 :lol:


So was 2016 and 2015. Granted, Ellipse has been very transparent with delays.... I thought my anxiety on keyboards was done after 7bit's R5/R6 fiasco :lol: :P :lol:

Just wondering as it looks like everything is done, are custom/low serial with unprinted keys waiting for dye-sub to ship, or will they ship as assembly is completed?

Just update for all you non-shiptracked.

16-March Shipment to Central Texas arrived just now.

No missing caps.

Should I post all the extra mods and unused keys direct to mechmarket.reddit.com, or is there a place better suited on deskthority?

I thought it was shipped by order size?

All these orders that are shipping look smaller than mine

Maybe its because I had late additions and they were not all ordered at the beginning?

December 2015 for me as well. Ordered some white keys to go with a first-run Whitefox. And what's hilarious is that for the longest time, it actually remained an open question which of the two would arrive first. :lol:

Such naïveté. We were all so young, so filled with hope and wonder. Those were ...

Is the REFUND command valid?

December 2015 checking in. Still no caps. Group buy appears to be on schedule... for 7bit at least.

What is the best way to stay up to date on leftovers? I am looking for a R4/R3 225 shift and black and R4/R3 175 shift in black. Preferably all 4 keys.

Is there still going to be a second order, or has everything merged into one large at this point? I still have the idea in my head that this is early bird round...

I wanted to wait to get my F60 before pulling the trigger on an F77 and compact cases, but is this too late?

Totally realforce black on black.

Hi,

I sent nosage money on 9-NOV-2017, but forgot to add my order number to paypal notes.

I immediately noticed my mistake and messaged 7bit on deskthority with no response.

I have sent several wassup to the bot with no response. Is bot dead?

What is the next course of action? 7bit - bb pls ...

Are there going to be any extras produced? I am looking for a 225 shift in black.

Im in for a set or two plus all mods available.

A quick search yielded this from the XT.

Keyboard starts on 1-65 (PDF page 78). Not too robust, but I think this would be the style of the original manual?

Here is the technical reference guide for the IB 5155 which has much more ...

I believe the issue stems from leftovers. Instead of waiting to sell all keys in the current run, money collected from the next phase was used.

I would trust that if all leftovers were sold right now, the project would be fully funded. In order for early phases to get their keys as quickly as ...

How long is shipping take? I use shipnow on 28-APR and am in Texas.

THANKS!

Can someone please help/verify for me before I break my order?

If I have phase1 and phase2 keys, do I need to just PM shipnow with order # in subject to 7bot to get phase1 keys now?

Well I picked up violet in 225 and 275. Who wants to gift me their 225 black shift?!?!

What is best way to determine if HONEYB/SHIFT225/BLACK is still available for order?

If our order is split in both phases, do they ship immediately, or must we wait?

Also, please someone transfer a black 225 shift to me :)

I'm curious - how many of you are waiting until the completed ultra compact case prototype before ordering? I see some names from the interest list who have not yet ordered (or maybe they left the user name blank on the order form).

I am planning on ordering an ultra compact, just unsure on the ...

I see the order deadline is for 30-NOV. Is this just the early bird round? I have a couple friends that are waiting to see mine before choosing layout/size.
