Any chance we can add a color option for Commodore 64C-style light grey?

So sorry I missed out on this one.

Paid up all! Lets get this going! :twisted:

Anyway,
7bit, are you updating the moneytranfers regulary so that you can see it in the invoice, or is it random that you do it?
And do you have an exact date on start of production? And how long did the last GB:s take from production to delivery?

Yes ...

It may help if we posted a picture showing the difference in this thread. I don't mind the row 3 approach. I see what you are doing now at least. Originally it seemed like the greys from the base packages were 1-4, but the red/black were row 3'd which just seemed odd.

I want whatever will look best - but I want the base kit and the RED/BLACK to use the same profile so I know what to order.

Okay, so, then to clarify:

All the keys in HONEY/TKL that are contained in RED/BLACK/GREY HONEY/TKLISOBASE are actually row 3, right?

Wait, so are the modifiers on HONEY/TKL *not* the proper rows as suggested by that graphic?

Honey/TKL is in the proper row as suggested in the graphic (I *hope* I'm right) which is why I said I'm puzzled by the modifiers being all row 3 because if you care about the proper profiles, then why do ...

Wait, so are the modifiers on HONEY/TKL *not* the proper rows as suggested by that graphic?

Apologies if this was asked before but...

HONEY/TKLISOBASE/BLACK

...shows all keys as Row 3 on the graphic. Is this a typo?

I didn't even notice the modifiers had been swapped to black. I really prefer the grey.

That one looks good.

Honeywell is happening. The time is now.

Must have Honeywell.

One of these days I'll get around to purchasing a HHKB. In the mean time I've watched plenty of videos and listened closely to the sound made when typing and it sounds very similar to my Filco brown using Round 3s + rubber rings. To anyone else who has browns with washers (I think the ones I use are ...

Maybe they ordered a Nothing key.

A rather more palatable $90 for this very similar model. It was $80 before he relisted it. Anyone have friends in Canada?

I can vouch ...

All these photos look incredible, thanks for posting everyone. Don't want to rain on the parade but unfortunately my caps are nowhere in sight despite being shipped in May, and I've heard nothing after several inquiries to 7bit. 7bit, it would be great if I could get some kind of response. Thanks ...

If you're missing any keys, you might want to interrogate the tachikoma.

Yeah they are the wrong keys. I rushed putting those on just to take some photos and don't intend to use them on that keyboard. That same Filco uses the Round 3 from the photos above, which is what I intended for it.

Some more beauty shots.

Woo, they finally arrived.

As for the legibility of the Retro set... I'm thankful I got the dark grey alpha. I'll photo them a bit later.

Edit:

Anyone who is thinking about getting in on whatever the next SPH group buy is.... DO IT. They make any kind of keyboard you put them on better. They are ...

My keycaps are invisible. Because I haven't received them yet.

* Languishes while waiting for keys *

232... finally. It should have been shipped first because it's mine.

7bit hates rubber so much he won't even use condoms.

I will probably paint gray once I learn how to properly paint plastic. I don't want some finish that will just rub off. I'm curious whether a dye would work best since the keyboard is already white.

No pictures of Retro yet. See, if my keys had been sent, you all would have pictures out the ass.

How long does it take to put on the rest of the keycaps and take a picture!

Guess I'll have to learn to live with it.

7bit, thank you for your remarkable work, amazing to have these caps!

I was greeted with my package today, very happy, and of course, I have lost my keypuller ... ughhhhh :oops:

edit: quick test installs below - thanks a lot 7bit, the keys look and feel amazing, and not one missing which is nice ...
