Round 5 and Round 6 kits for sale!

[mtchu1581]

Are you still taking orders? Late in the game
Art they PBT? Spacebar for hhkb?

[7bit]

Sure.

[Muirium]

Nope, sorry, I only handle payments sent to me :-\

Yeah, I had your paypal name address in my invoice last week BUT yesterday you have disappeared off that invoice and I still have to pay my amount.

Would it mean I have been removed off the order/payment list now?

The half payment deadline is quite soon but if there is no paypal address to send the money to, then what.....?

Just curious to know what happens next, or if I am still in this GB, but I leave it up to you to decide, which ever way.

Thanks anyway for allowing me to dream about owning these SA's for a short time anyway .

Don't worry, Elrick. 7bit said you were good, so you can remind him of the fact if his bot chucks your order out.

[mtchu1581]

Are there space bars for hhkb?

[7bit]

No, they are for keyboards with Cherry MX switches. Want some?

Re: HONEY/TENKLESS/RED

You updated the picture, but you didn't add the caps.

Related: you added Row 2 UP to HONEY/CURSORS (yay) but where's its arrow equivalent?

Row 2 down arrow >> Row 4 up arrow when rotated, which is a dupe. Row 2 up arrow is the one we need.

The same is true for the HONEY/CURSYM100 kits:

I just bought a Poker 2, should be waiting for me when I get home...

Is it too late to jump in on this? I've never done a group buy before, or bought keycaps for that matter. What do I need to do?

[Muirium]

Is it ANSI? Like this:

[sean4star]

yes it is...that exact one.

[Muirium]

Then the simplest kit would be HONEY/SIXTY:

Which gives you every key you need besides the space bar:

That would be $75 + $2 for the caps and $7 shipping. If you like those colours. There are also red, black and grey alpha sets, which make things more complex and costly. But that straight up Honeywell colour scheme would cost you 84 bucks. And you get a lot of flexibility with legends for it.

[sean4star]

The HONEY/SIXTY comes with all those keys? So I will end up with extras and a few different versions of a few keys? How do I order/pay? Do I have to get my order in today?

I think we successfully badgered 7bit into adding it, but he just hasn't updated the wiki pics.

Row 2 down arrow >> Row 4 up arrow when rotated, which is a dupe. Row 2 up arrow is the one we need.

It is a dupe, but this is for 7bit's preferred row 4 up, row 2 left/down/right set up, based on using your thumb on the row 2 keys. I totally get this, but the rows are totally wrong for a + shaped cursor imo. I think my post here is a dupe too

Click here to send a PM to 7bot and add to the body (the subject can be anything):

Code: Select all

add your email address and shipping address, remember the country.

Despite all you need for your keyboard is what Muirium suggested, I highly reccomend taking HONEY/TENKLESS that has more keys and covers you in case you want to use the set on a different keyboard in the future.

Also I would take a couple of spacebars if I were you... just in case. To order 2 (or more) pieces send something like

Code: Select all

HONEY/SPACE625 2

PS: HONEY/TENKLESS does not include a RED escape that can be taken separately as HONEY/REDESCAPE/R1

[Muirium]

Matt3o ninja'd me with everything you need to know! He's right: TENKLESS is an awesome kit that will cover many keyboards.

The HONEY/SIXTY comes with all those keys? So I will end up with extras and a few different versions of a few keys? How do I order/pay? Do I have to get my order in today?

Yes, you'll get some extras. They're quite useful to sell, in future, when people are looking for ones they missed. There are other kits you could get to match your keyboard, but SIXTY is the all-in-one 60% set.

I'm not sure when the cut-off is. But today wouldn't hurt. To order, send this (with appropriate details) as a private message to 7bot:

HONEY/SIXTY
HONEY/SPACE625
email@yourdomain.tld
ADDRESS
Walter Cherry
Cherrystr. 1
91275 Auerbach/OPf.

It's all on the Wiki.

[Muirium]

Related: you added Row 2 UP to HONEY/CURSORS (yay) but where's its arrow equivalent?

I hope so, because Row 2 UP - Row 4 LEFT, DOWN, RIGHT is really my only reason to buy extra cursors.

[mtchu1581]

So when I pm 7bot. I should get a instant reply with payment direction or wait for a business day or two?

[Muirium]

You'll get an email. Usually in less than a few hours. (He hits his bot pretty frequently!) So as long as you gave the bot your email address, you'll see it soon. It never replies by forum messages.

[mtchu1581]

Thank you very much Muirium

[snoopy]

and I'm sure you want one of those funny keyboardrunners: http://deskthority.net/wiki/Round_5#HON ... 7C_.241.29

[sean4star]

Hmm...still looking at colors. And trying to stay on a budget too.

Being my first time, I would really appreciate it if someone would proof my list. Would the following sets work for the Poker 2? Sorry, like I said, I've never bought custom keycaps before and I'm still a little iffy on the whole keycap size thing.

Black/Gray/Red idea:

Code: Select all

HONEY/ALPHA/GRAY                          $45
HONEY/SIXTY/125BASE/BLACK                  21
HONEY/RETURN/225RED                         3
HONEY/REDESCAPE/R1                          1
HONEY/SPACE625/GRAY                         2
    Total                                        72

Gray/White/Red (same as HONEY/SIXTY but only the keys I need):

Code: Select all

HONEY/ALPHA                               $32
HONEY/SIXTY/125BASE                        19
HONEY/RETURN/225RED                         3
HONEY/REDESCAPE/R1                        n/a
HONEY/SPACE625                              2
    Total                                        56

First, does this cover all the necessary keys, sizes, etc? And second, what would shipping be?

I also like the idea of a stepped Caps Lock key. Is HONEY/CAPS175S the right size?

Thanks for all the help!

[Yslen]

I also like the idea of a stepped Caps Lock key. Is HONEY/CAPS175S the right size?

Stepped Caps Lock keys have the stem centred under the taller part of the cap, so it's not in the centre as with a normal Caps Lock key. They're specifically for the keyboards that have an off-centre switch, and won't fit on anything else.

Thanks for the info! Saves me a few bucks and a bunch of frustration.

What are the SPH repair keys? Do they match the rest of the keys, only difference is they are blue?

[facetsesame]

What are the SPH repair keys? Do they match the rest of the keys, only difference is they are blue?

The SPH repair kit is an addition to the Round 4 SPH set, which had issues with key sizing (ansi shifts and enter), rows (back space (and tab?))and legends (ISO enter). New moulds are being made for Round 5 so these issues will be fixed

[facetsesame]

The cursor kit images have been updated with that row 2 up key! Thanks 7bit!

[Muirium]

Hooray!

Yes, it's taking a while to propagate, but! Cleared browser cache, and the arrows are there.

But there's nothing to stop you using the SPH repair kit with Round 5, correct?

[Muirium]

Correct. It's like a little miniature blue set, of somewhat random keys, but it works.

[Yslen]

Yes, it's a shame it doesn't have a few more keys in to be honest, though I suppose that wouldn't be very useful for those who actually are using it to complete a Round 4 set...

What's the significance of that (keyboard runner) key? I'm new to this.

[sean4star]

I placed my order but didn't write "ADDRESS" before my address block. When I sent a message to fix it I didn't include my email address. Is 7bot smart enough to put things together based on my user name or do I need to send it again?
