Round 5 and Round 6 kits for sale!

[Thumper]

Am I missing something or isn't there a Row 2 'Z' key in all rounds?

[zslane]

Um, is that a trick question? A row 2 'Z' key is a row 4 'Z' key flipped around.

It wasn't. I'm not familiar with the profile of sa keys. Thank you for the answer:)

Seems this is really not very well known. I only learned about that when I asked the same question a few paychecks earlier.
Even large SA-profile group buys on Massdrop include a R2 "Z" key in the NORDE kit:

That gives you the impression the key is required for a QWERTZ-layout ...

If that's what you ordered, your order is most likely empty. Where did you get those codes ? These items have been sold out for a while now. Try ordering them from Round6 (wiki/R6_leftovers#Space_625)

But better act fast, here's what's left last time I got an update:

Also, 7b[io]t is currently on vacation.

There is no difference between the spacebars of R5 and R6? Is not going to look any different the R6 spacebar in a R5 set?

I got the codes in the R5 wiki page

[Wodan]

No there is no difference between HONEY and HONEYB as long as you pick the same color name. The biggest trap could be Grey&SPH which look similair at first glance but are actually different in detail.

Make sure you are looking at the leftover pages:

Thanks for the heads up.

7bit is on vacation. 7bot was explicitly left behind. (Bad behavior, I expect.). You can still place orders and pay for them and get cordial, if robotic, responses.

I suspect that 7bot will slack off in its master's absence.

Has It Shipped?
If your payment came via PayPal, your invoice has been marked as shipped to keep them from locking up the PayPal account. Keep checking this thread for the actual ship date(s).

Additionally, note that the address on your Paypal notifications/notes are not necessarily the addresses 7bit will ship your order to, he ships to the address on your invoice.

Questions?
Either ask in this thread, or PM 7bit.

[Thumper]

I just ordered some R6 left overs. When the payment arrived, how long does it take usually until it gets shipped?

[MrWildBunnycat]

Probably when it gets produced

[Thumper]

Probably when it gets produced

Seems legit.

[caligo]

Seems legit.

The word a couple of pages back was that SP might be done with it by the end of march, but as usual one has to take their estimates of production times with a truckload of salt. But if it's done sometime this spring, and adding a few months for shipping and sorting, you might have your keycaps sometime late summer/early autumn. Then again, judging by how Round 5 played out sometime by christmas is probably a safer estimate. "Christmas" as in "this christmas"? Maybe, if we're lucky.

[Wodan]

Are we going to have a DT community weekend in Berlin, all sorting keycaps for two days ?
I'm in !!!

[lootbag]

Just thought I would ask here, anyone have a two spare 2.25u Row 3/4 keys and a 7u spacebar?
Prefer black blank, but other colors are ok as well.

[zslane]

Does anyone have a spare RED 2u ENTER numpad key they'd be willing to part with?

IN PRODUCTION

Hyyyypetrain !

[Madhias]

http://pimpmykeyboard.com/key-status/

Why does GMK have not something like that? That's great!

[caligo]

Phase 1 is in production. But completion of phase 2 is tentatively estimated to be by the end of June. I'm not sure what's covered by phase 1 and what isn't, but I'm not counting on seeing any R6 key caps until at least the end of summer.

[Wodan]

Phase 1 includes quite a number of "colors" and I will bug 7bit to sent out my Phase1 caps before Phase2 ...

Scroll back a little to find out which colors are in which phase.

And ... well buy more leftover keycaps to help put Phase2 on the schedule. Seems like there's still funds lacking to commit Phase2

Oh, right, I thought I remebered reading a post about that a while back. Although it's not super clear what's covered and what isn't, seeing as some colors (e.g. the cream, WV) aren't mentioned.

These colors should be produced in March (had been originally scheduled for January, then for February )
GD, BFP, RDE


The other colors come later (WFK, GPA, RAS, NN) because there is a bit of money missing.


To speed things up, please order more of the leftovers!!!

In other words, phase 1 will consist of… SPH grey, violet, and blue? Damn, knew I should have ordered the Space Cadet stuff instead of more black and white caps. Then again, that kit is still available in the leftovers – but then I'd have to come up with a use for the black ANSI set I've already ordered. I have a feeling this is going to end up with me getting even more boards to put the extra keys on.

[lolpes]

I ordered a tkl cadet set together with some other kits, but the tkl set is not showing on the invoice :/ also how to I choose to use PayPal instead of SEPA?

[zslane]

Yes, that is how you do it. First you buy all the keys you like, then you worry about finding boards to put them on. After all, boards are just vessels for beautiful SA (and DSA) keycaps.

I agree, we need to hound 7bit to make a PHASE1 kit that pays to ship phase 1 caps separately from phase 2 caps.

If you want to use PayPal, I think you can just send a PM containing the words "PAYPAL" to 7bot. As for the missing set, I guess you'll haveto wait until 7bit is back from his vacation.

[lolpes]

Ok, managed to change to PayPal, but still no work on the space cadet kit, could it be all gone and 7bit not updating it?

Here's a question - what do you mean by money missing? Aren't all of these group buys pre-paid?
