Round 5 and Round 6 kits for sale!

Closure. People hate an open ending, well, most people. (I added a few space bars.)

exactly what I ended up doing!

[fifted]

The only solution to the SHIF T problem seems to make sure thet FT is a ligature (both touching each other).

Maybe you can issue a R5/REPAIR kit later.

Hi,

I understand if this is tad late, but I just finalized my custom layout, and cannot put it together combining any of the existing language kits... So is it too late to order custom keys?

I would need following keys:
1 unit width:
-row 2: Ö (o with umlauts), M, comma+semicolon
-row 3: Y, P
-row 4: Ä (a with umlauts), D

1.5 unit width:
row 1: Z
row 2: X
row 3: ' (apostrophe)

[7bit]

Sorry, but this is far too late!

[Muirium]

Speaking of too late: what's to stop us from getting an FT ligature made? Cost? Too much time?

Sure, they're SA profile, too, just finished production, and for me it's the first time that I've seen how extreme SA row 1 keys look. Maybe row 3 is really the better solution for the function row? OK, I know we should not restart this discussion...

It was only after feeling row 1 SA keys in my own hands that I realised how awesome they are, and that I need taller keys! Row 1 has been a serious centre of my attention this round (and especially Round 4's leftovers).

SP Idioticy. They say that T can't be so close to F for some reason. But, other letters can come closer.

Another issue I like to have solved is using different font sizes for smiliar keys:

S T A T U S vs. BREAK comes to my eye when I look at the POS keys ...

[matt3o]

aren't new legends $25 a pop? (if they don't have them already)

[7bit]

No problem for me.


These potentieal extra costs are already calculated into the prices.

[olento]

Sorry, but this is far too late!

Ok, I knew it was a long shot. but had to try it anyways... Is it possible to order them separately from Signature Plastics?

[7bit]

Yes, but will be quite expensive. Good luck.

[lefthandedspatula]

I don't know, I think the improper legends are endearing. There will be a time in the future when true vintage SP Sphericals are identified by the SHIF T key.

[matt3o]

No problem for me.

FIRMWARE!

row 1, in red?

go ahead! make my day!

Why does this make me think you just opened Pandora's box?

[7bit]

What was in Pandora's box?


Key caps with yet unseen legends?

[Muirium]

Et tu, µ? You were even in a kit at one point…

[7bit]

Which row, which color?

[Muirium]

The premier row: row 1 red, of course! (A nice big legend so it makes a good Escape. At least they can't mess up the kerning on a single character…)

SP can do everything!

[Muirium]

That's what I'm afraid of. And thanks!

[lefthandedspatula]

Well since we're doing Greek, how about π ?

[Muirium]

Well, it is Πανδώρα's Box.

I would seriously take a full Greek Alpha set, like this Model M's here:

Even with single Greek legends. But who would be with me? Any real Greeks here?

[7bit]

All real [Gg]([r]*)([e3]{2})ks should get a Greek legend kit!!!


If someone makes the SVG graphis for them, codier the HONEY/GRALPHA kit included!


BUT: You have to fiddle out the details all by yourself. I can only give you the contact to SP


I'm personally finished with trying to make SVG graphics which they can use.

[Muirium]

Got a template svg I can start from? I've no idea what the rules are but I can always take a shot.

Bet they need it done by Adobe Illustrator!

[facetsesame]

More legends? Oh, exasperation!
All I will suggest is you follow the Calm Depths lead on the numpad 2u zero:

Spoiler:

It's funny how you can buy so much of a red home row in bits:
HONEY/WASD/RED HONEY/FJ/RED HONEY/GHB/RED


...oh alright, one more idea (uses all existing legends!).

Here starts the problem!

Once, I got one after asking, but it was a binary.


Seriously, just don't ask me.


Luckily, µ is in SP's repertoire.


ps: use an old version of Adobe Illustrator running in Windows 95, or so.

Just wait for the leftover and grab bag sellout afterwards ...

[matt3o]

holy-moly! I've already paid... I'll take a grab bag or leftovers
