Confirmed. http://www.7bit.info/ was in my bookmarks. It no longer loads.

be cautious with the ISO enter stabilizer

Thanks for the tip. I have yet to install the keycaps, and I am puzzled by the black stabilizer that is intended for the ISO enter key: Does the 'ear' end up at a 45° angle to the barrel? It does not seem to fit any other way. The manual threatens you ...

German users, the ISO DE keyboards with DE keycaps are shipping! I got my F77 via DHL yesterday.

Hey Ellipse, when will we learn if we are On The List?

You did a bolt mod on a new Model M?

You left-thumb people would have failed my high school’s typing class.

... Why?

Because the "correct" way is to use the right thumb.

This is correct. There are standards in this world, and using the right thumb is just one of them.

Interesting! I would buy this if [...]

Yes, yes, yes, but are you not excited at all by the very fact that modern beamsprings exist?
This is big news. Many of us have either tried a beamspring keyboard at a meetup or bought a single switch off eBay. Now there's a chance to get something even ...

The website functions really well, from what I can see. Can I bookmark the link now, or will it change in the future?

I have a recommendation for Q5. Can you split "None of these / Skip this step" into two different answers?
Otherwise the "None of these" people will get the pointing devices in ...

A modern keyboard with my dream switch in it.
I have signed up for the ANSI now and would buy it again in ISO later on, if ISO becomes available.
Thanks for announcing the beamspring keyboard in the Model F August Update email message — People like me would have missed the news otherwise.

What is the condition of the German keyboards in No. 6?

Your catalog is from 2016, so it is likely that these switches are still available, if you wrote to info.sc@honeywell.com to request pricing.

Durgod Taurus K320

I have been using one of these as my main keyboard for a year and can attest to its quality. I bought the one with Cherry MX Silent Reds. I planned to desolder the delivered switches, replacing them with Zeal Sakurio switches, but I have yet to do so.

My one disappointment ...

I can recommend the GMMK keyboards. In addition to your requirements, the switches are hot-swappable, so you can try out all the trendy MX switches that the cool kids use.

Unless someone can correct me, Round 7 never closed. Thanks for phoning Signature Plastics.

Any news?

Hi Wodan,
Is the list still active in 2020?

There is a point in Neuromancer where the main character is fairly certain that his orders are not being given by his boss, but rather by an artificial intelligence far, far away. In one scene, that AI attempts to talk with him:
He fumbled through a pocketful of lirasi, slotting the dull alloy ...

I wish for news too.

I really need an off-center keystem Capslock in SA profile, if possible in black. Sadly.


It's not in black, but I do see an off-center capslock key in the base set of this "Winmix PBT SA keycaps 179 keys" set. Maybe this base set + international set would be of interest to you:

What kind of switch did you pick for this keyboard?

I got the SA set from Keyboardco too, but I can't decide if I like them or hate them. They feel noticeably different than a keycap set with a full SA profile with different row heights. I've had them for about three weeks now, and it was only yesterday that I did not instantly notice that they weren ...

I've got both the full-size Matias keyboard with clicky switches as well as the weirdo 65% bluetooth Matias keyboard with linear switches. The enjoyment and experience typing on them is like night and day.

The clicky switches with their ultra-thin PBT keycaps feel and sound both cheap and ...

Hey, I'm on the lookout for a set of SA Caps in German ISO Layout. Would have to be fullsize with F-Keys. Preferrably something kickass like these Round 5/6/7 caps, haven't seen many in QWERTZ layout yet sadly. :(


There's a new SA keyset available for purchase on Massdrop until the end of May ...

Iskra 1030 keyboard

That link didn't work for me, but this one did:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/USSR-Soviet-Ru ... 2606935729

They are in SA uniform R3 profile, made by Signature Plastics for Filco.

The sets are pretty nice and decent, unfortunately only black for ISO-DE.

I would have never guessed that these were SA profile, as the product description is really vague:
The keycaps are taller, more rounded and heavier ...

These are fine and all, but the original poster was specifically asking for SA profile keycaps, not just any DE-ISO keycaps.

We'll be making the switches available and around when the keyboard launches we'll also have a reference design so people can design custom keyboards. It'll be based around atsam4s (ARM Cortex-M4).

If the ANSI board is a success, would you consider making an ISO board later on?

Congratulations ...

how do i order more caps with this new method i'm too confused :(



Please help me how to check orders, I have done many ways without receiving any feedback from 7bit, I have difficulty with the new method, thank all.

Let's not jump to conclusions. 7bit looked happy and relaxed at Mechanicon in Frankfurt last year. Maybe he's just busy.
