Never got in on one of 7bit's group buys... was hoping there would be another round. Sad to see so many of the OG GB leaders, artisan makers, and leaders fall away.

I remember when I used a notepad-like editor and found out the dude was programming Win32 API in assembly... yeah. I knew I wasn't a dev. Went into network ops instead.

dat spacebar

7bit * Round7 = 49 different layout color options. Love the cream/purple.

I know there's a lot of hate for NovaTouch, but they allowed the Topre gang to start using GMK/SP keys again and sparked a whole new wave of mods. I dunno. I really like mine.

I'm definitely interested in either RAd-away or Skidata!

OK, payment wired to GMK. 4 spots open if anyone wants to jump in... Pricing updated to $110/set.

Quick Update: Everyone is paid up, sending money to GMK this week. There are 8 spots open from people who dropped. Send me PM here or on reddit if you'd like a spot. Thanks!

OK! Final order number of 150 placed with GMK. There's still 2 slots open if anyone wants in!

Everyone is invoiced, but there were some drop-outs. There are 10 sets available, please PM me if you are interested in ordering one.

Always DSA these days... Its a shame

Awww, that makes me sad. It was originally DCS, but many keyboard enthusiasts don't use QWERTY, so I was left with DSA and SA. I chose DSA because they are lower and I wanted to see left/top justified text on that key...

If this sells at all, I want to host a ...

Not really. A lot of Germans, French, Dutch, etc

But European-centric, right? Or at least that's the feeling I got!

yes, we are all about taking off our closes, drinking with 16 and all the other perks of living on this side of the pond

Sounds like our West Coast. I'm in Portland, OR, so we ...

That being said, I quite like this colorway even if it is an homage to the Wyse. Question: Why are the mockups looking like regular DCS mockups and not DSA ones? Will the legends be offset as in the image, or centered as in most other DSA sets?

:D You caught me!

This was originally going to be ...

Thank you! I really wanted to make a professional, yet unique, look.

7bit is sorting the caps (at last) and will be shipping them for the next several months! That GB's been running soooooo long that plenty of people have since sold the keyboards they were buying caps for, and have mentioned it on the forum. Expect sales!

Thanks for the info! I really like DT so ...

Hey Manifex. We just say it like it is, here at DT.

That's how I like to work, so I get that and appreciate your candor. I want to do 'what's right' by the community, but being a noob, it's hard to navigate. For example, I bought from K3 not knowing about CC's designs. Just a noob mistake, but I ...

Looks like you are ripping WYSE pretty hard.

If you read the description of the set:

"Gorton is based off of the 1970s-era IBM-like standard key font. The Gorton Engraver was used to create the first double-shot keycaps. To offer a unique look, Signature Plastic’s original company, Comptec ...

Apologies. I'm a colonist...

I was interested in launching a design and am a single dad who works and parents. I don't have a lot of time to organize, though, I'd be interested in teaming up with someone to do a true group buy.

It would be nice to have a term that designated a vendor-organized ...

I can't wait! Thanks matt3o!

Hi All!
