White mouse cursor? Microsoft's idiotic adjustment! All the cool mouse pointers were and still are black.

Microsoft likely did it to work better on worse DPI displays. (No need for a double outline.) And then whoever else still uses it just copied them…

[7bit]

Both have 5.5 units. Imagine those many No Poo users who finally can swap their keys when you ordered the 5.5 units space bar tool from SP.

[Muirium]

Look closer…

5.5 unit Noppoo:



5.25 unit Noppoo:



Hosed both ways! Congrats to Noppoo for taking awkward to the extra level.

[matt3o]

I was also fooled by that picture. But math doesn't lie:

16 − 1.25 × 6 − 3 = 5.5

Anyway, like I said the mods are different.

[7bit]

I would like a flame key. Maybe with a Bunsen burner underneath?

[matt3o]

I tried SGI but it almost seems a flower when reduced.

do you have high def line-art image of MX (and M9) switches?

[Muirium]

Wait, 7bit: you're not into D&D? Thought that would be right up your alley. What a curious bot…

Might as well try to slip an ad for MXLOCKs in this set too!

[Muirium]

As we're talking logos:



Boom!

[Broadmonkey]

I would only go for the NEXT if it was in full color, black and white doesn't do it justice!

Edit: It seems like the Cherry logo is missing from the suggestions

[7bit]

It is done with gaps!

[matt3o]

no yellow on dark key. I would need to do that on light gray.

It is done with gaps!

cool, let's see if I can find vector of that logo, or a vectorializable image.

[Muirium]

Aha! Very nice. SGI and (full colour) NeXT get my support! Even over the sick Mac if that frees up the appropriate key for NeXTy goodness.

[7bit]

I prefer the Sun beer dispenser.

[noobie94]

I guess it wont work? 6.25u spacebar and 5.5 noppoo? Why is it so different?

[Muirium]

Some evil genius at Noppoo twirls his moustache on a job well done.

I love a nice little space bar, so I'm not against smaller sizes. But 5.5u is a particularly bad choice on their part. No one makes those, besides Noppoo's own supplier I suppose. 4u and 4.5u are supported by Round 5. But not this size.

[7bit]

My theory: They have a contract with the tool-supplier of Signature Plastics.

[noobie94]

so sad

still gonna order common kit and more

[noobie94]

so for my ISO ducky shine 3 fullsize I would need:

- Common kit
- Granite Intl: DE, IT, FR
- Granite numpad
- ISO enter
- Multimedia kit
??

[matt3o]

Base for everyone:
Common + Icon OR Text modifiers

Full 100-something keys keyboard:
Numpad

ISO needs:
ISO Enter + your language kit

Suggested:
Pro modifiers (icon OR text)

For fun:
multimedia, nerdom

[Muirium]

Yes, you *must* get a mods kit to go along with your common (alphas) kit. I suggest icon mods because they are a hundred times nicer, but either will work.

Also: phew, I'm getting a bit closer to being able to board this now. So hold that train!

[matt3o]

ok. nerdom is officially this right now:



we have still time to replace another key (glider I'd say)

[Muirium]

Absolutely. Switch Glider for 7bit's beloved SGI! I'd love to see a full colour NeXT key in there too, but I won't surrender Evangelion for it. The heart is good too, and your wife's key is untouchable. So the blue one perhaps? Anyone?

[matt3o]

I might even pay the difference to add 1 or 2 additional keys if 1) SP agrees 2) is not devastatingly expensive. So basically everybody gets 1 or 2 additional keys without even knowing it

[Muirium]

Oooh! Who could say no to that? Make them light keys, naturally, so we have more options for dyesub colours.

[7bit]

DT, OK.
matt3o, OK.
pi, OK.
MX from top, OK.
geek hack, ERROR!
atom, OK.
sad Mac, OK.
glider, OK.
heart, KITSCH.
hell of kittens, KITSCH.
ERROR, symbol not recognised
ERROR, symbol not recognised
Star Wars, OK
Star Wars, OK
X11, OK.
Tux, OK.
Amiga A, OK.
Amiga A, OK.


I suggest to add:
Sun, SGI and Cherry M9*

----------------------------
*) I've got a ton of switches and because the stems are angled, would be nice for DSA key caps.**


**) PCBs will be available in the Hyper group buy.

[matt3o]

hell of kittens might become one of the additional keys.
Heart is all but gitsch.

SGI I can't find the logo.

I found this but the image is not good enough to vectorialize.



cherry M9, do you have line art graphics?

Hyper group buy?! Is this real life?!

[7bit]

Just needs a little cleaning!

[matt3o]

no just needs to be redrawn from scratch! not difficult but I already have to rebuild the cherry MX which will take some time...
