twice more i tried on 29 Oct and today on 2 Nov. did not receive an email from 7bot at all.

i think 7bit packed 7bot in his suitcase when he went on holiday.

i asked 7bit the same question recently and his reply was:

"It is a broken image, so the image has not been uploaded, but the kit is still available."

which is good news!

Hey folks, thanks so much for the detailed responses... that's given me plenty to look over and research. really appreciate the advice and suggestions.

hi folks,

i've done a bit of looking around but i can't find any reference to the nearest thing i could use as a modern equivalent of an Acorn Electron switch . i've got a great set of keys from the 7bit's Round 6 on MX reds and i'm hoping to replicate the feel of an Electron (that clunky 'full ...

i love my keys!!!!

anyone have an r1 F5 or 'GO' in either red or blue they'd like to sell?

hahahaha, i'm such a spoon! i just turned it round and all is well! deary me... i just realised that row doesn't matter which way up they are. i'll get my coat!

im very pleased with the quality but i've nothing else to compare with.

only thing i've noticed is that i'm unsure if my 'S' is the wrong way up! it could be the typeface, i won't grumble though! they're so awesome.

I'm still waiting for about half of my order as well. I even paid the extra 5€ that had mysteriously appeared on a new invoice, so my order shouldn't be one of those unpaid ones. But the bot refuses to answer my 'wazzup' messages, so I'm kind of in the dark here. Anyone else had any luck with the ...

The following orders shipped today:
1005

BOOM. 1005 just landed and I am one happy boy.

7bit, thank you so much... i can't believe they're here... even managed to order a complete set, i was worried i might have ordered something incorrectly or had the wrong size key somewhere.

seriously ...

Hah, hmmmmm... That is a problem! The search for perfection may never end...

The reason a lot of folks don't care for Cherry MX switches is that their tooling has gotten cheaper and the quality dropped over the years. In the meantime, clone makers have stepped up their game considerably, and so now you see Gaterons being preferred in some cases, especially with linears ...

just been checking out some of you lucky folks' snaps on the other thread soooooo impressive! some great design choices made. it's like some sort of torture.

Found the thread and subscribed. Will dig in to what I need tomorrow. Will be some mix and match for what I want.
As far as I can see they are all the same profile set?

ESCAPE WHILE YOU STILL CAN! don't go down the rabbit hole!
