I received an invoice e-mail earlier (ordered last night) so the CherryMX bot is alive.
The payment collector info might be outdated though.

Here's the stock levels as received:

And so dreams meet reality. Thank you 7bit! Happy Christmas!
Bonus: some keys to finish a blend of Round 5 and SA Retro:

7bit, what about Matt's beamspring cap project? Could that include Alps?

This interest check looks like the one for Round 4. Will it lead to multiple colourways in Round 7 I wonder?

For what it's worth (i.e. nothing):

Are you going to go with icon mods this time, 7bit?

The OAS mods could be good, wonder if that would work with R6 BFP alphas. The BFP on WV alphas look nice. Though if you want something new, maybe making it all about BFP isn't the right idea.

Something new?

Magenta - commission it as a custom colour, offer as a full set and in a CMYK mod set. :oops:
"Blanks" with only pad printing on the front, of whatever crazy legends you like :twisted:
How about glow legends - YCA on NN for maximum effect :idea:
Whatever the colours - offer ...

That's a keyboard:

Hm, it could do with a few more blinkenlights - maybe they belong at eye level behind it, with some CRTs?

I've seen a few Ortek MCK 142Pro sold here on DT for less than 50 EUR. Not NOS, of course, but still.
If I wanted to own one again, I'd pay that for a new one. But it might be just theoretical me that thinks like that.

Aaaaaand here's what appears to be a Cherry MX Clear battleship. Featuring ...

Is the UK kit deliberately missing the "2 key so that the International kit is required too?

Anyone have pics of what the diff between SPH and Gray is?

Dare I ask... what is the content of HONEYB/FUNCTION3/BLUE?

14 months ago, on page 200:
A discount extension would be welcome, but would more kits be welcome?
Maybe a FORTY, and the POS options in row 3 again, then a new HYPER7, a FUNCTION/VIOLETT...
If we got as far as HONEYB/FUNCTION2 I think we might be trying to fuse iron :?

Sorry I haven't been around for the last month or so. As ever, I can't continuously devote the amount of time and resources I'd like to to projects like this. Realistically this isn't likely to change before the new year, though I really should still make the effort to pop in and say hi!

Thanks as ...

Electronic wind instruments have tempted me before, primarily for use as a MIDI controller and not really as a substitute for a regular wind instrument though. How does oboe compare? I imagined EWIs as more like clarinet/sax but I've never tried.

The last impulse that I really don't need? It has to ...

SEEK and FIND also for the FUNCTION2 then?

p.s. I knew I'd seen that keyboard before!
Dave Allen introduces a compilation video using that system to choose from his back catalogue:

I'm very happy with the FUNCTION kit, imho all the legends are great and I'm committed to the multiple kits I've ordered. I was just surprised that all my suggested legends made it in. Here are my thoughts on them:

ERASE, YES, STOP, GO, SORT, ABORT, ENA/DIS, OPEN, CLOSE, EXEC - partly derived from ...

Thank you sir, very much appreciated!

We'll be open for orders in very soon, just a few hours now...

SVG stands for scalable vector graphics
Sure, I was talking about vectors. It'd be funnier though if the hashbang errors had been caused by lossy compression...

There was some problem with the Inkscape export / Illustrator import that I couldn't get to the bottom of, where the files I sent would ...

I will admit at times I was sceptical of ever recieving anything, however mine arrived this week and finally it's all mounted and I'm typing away on them right now.

They are absolutely worth the wait, this is EXACTLY the keyboard that I was looking for.

I think you could re-run this set from now ...

I agree with you on everything apart from modding their existing T type. That could be a total disaster! And any modification to make FT look better will make LT and especially NT worse. If this is to be fixed by moveable type (which is ultimately the right way to do it) it needs to be a with a new ...

About the HONEYB/FUNCTION kit legends, I submitted a large batch of them due to apparent lack of interest (because Round 5 was still in full swing). Some of them were in jest and I wasn't expecting them to all be accepted! I'd be up for reviewing them if others who've purchased the kits are too ...

Careful with adding all these new kits, 7bit! 5A/HONEYB was going to be a quick simple round ahead of Round 6, right?...

About the SHIFT, I'd be wary of going down the SVG route.

As has been mentioned, SP use a version of Adobe Illustrator (and I don't) and for Honey Sphericals Extras I was ...

Hi SL89!

Thanks for your concern. We've been working behind the scenes on this one

Shipping and payment collection will be handled by thelectronicnub of MX lock fame. An order form will be available soon.

This buy will be going live soon! We have an expected production date of 19th October.

Stay tuned!

Thanks for the GD/GPA comparison, Mu. In a way it's reassuring to see they're almost unidentifiably close.

In the absence of 1-2-3-4-5-6, 1-1-2-3-4-3 or 3-1-2-3-4-3 seem the best compromises to me. I keep meaning to try a DSA mod row for the half height thing.

Here are some more successful shots ...

7bit, for the purposes of the quote, did the interrobang make it into FUNCTION? :oops:

Good call on the BREAK, zslane!

7bit, where's the interrobang?

Thanks Mu, I'm really flattered!

I thought I was still dreaming when I saw it this morning (not that I dream about DT or anything...)
